What makes you look clueless is that at many offseason tournaments you are not playing their actual top team , usually it's a group of mixed kids and they play equal time so don't take much from it. Usually the parent from the b level clubs pound their chest about ties and off season performance

So now you look clueless because you say things like I have a connection to integrity 2020, everyone reading it knows that means you have a kid playing for them . Now you want your daughters team to be considered as one of the top teams , they need to go out and actually beat some top teams first .Is it YJ top team this weekend , who knows , I have no idea . Keep saying you crushed TG when you beat them by 4 but were so competitive w MD when you lost by 5 , makes you look clueless

LI Express unable to field a 2020 team--- that's the word on the street. That's an organization that doesn't seem to be doing the right thing with their girls programs. Almost zero returning players... I guess the stink followed them through the tryouts.... High and mighty administration is paying the price now.

what seems to be issue with Express girls?..we almost went there last year but backed off when it seemed sketchy when we asked about details--players/fees/coaches,etc.---is it because its another Boys centric program(like fl$) that just collects fees from girls program to fund the boys?...it seems like they have decent coaches on boys side....and apparently they have new girls director?...

Our experience was that they treated the team with no regard for coaching quality (NO EXPERIENCED COACHES on the sidelines for most tourney games) and worse still they treated parents like complete crap when they were questioned about this.... Practice was thinly attended, infrequent, and MOSTLY poorly coached. They can tout whatever they want on the boys side, but for the girls, they would have been beaten by most PAL teams.

My opinion mind you, but one from direct experience. Other's mileage may vary.

Express is basically PAL with traveling. Practices are poorly attended and even tournaments are not well attended by all. Coaching is not bad but if you are not getting everyone to attend practice , only half the team knows what to do. There is no fear of not playing when most times you are happy to have enough to field a complete team.

I guess it is somewhat refreshing to know, and in some small way, to see that parents cant be counted on --all the time--to just throw money at a crap product...maybe the other programs take a bit of notice and see that the parents still have power and the juice to call the shots...nah, wishful thinking...

YJ will be down a team or 2 as well in in 2020. A report just came out saying Lacrosse has the most players who's parents income is $100,000 or more. This is no longer a game for the masses due to the high year round cost.

Being down a team or two , when you shouldn't have 5 teams is one thing, but not being able to field a team in the 2020'age group is embarrassing . They are not a good program for girls. TG not being able to field a 2nd team is puzzling

TG is not having trouble fielding a team in the 2020 age group

Oh yes they are.. TG is in a lot of trouble 12 girls left black this year for other clubs what is that telling you? Purple is simply put just horrible and a lot of parents declined their spots this year. But it's not just his age group TG is having major issues at all levels.

Stop with the lies. you have no idea what you are talking about.
Only 2 girls left Black.

YJ may be the top club but TG is the second best hard to dispute that.

Ha ha ha not even close to being strong,Talent has dropped of drastically. How strong can the team be with 4 team yj players, and loaded with other B team players

That's incorrect, 11 girls left. Look at the roster for the games this weekend and you will see that there are 12 new girls on black. Do your research and get the facts before you try to save face. No need to lie, the facts are all out there. The team is like a brand new team with over half the players new. Check elevate, legacy, Liberty and YJ for the players that left TG black this year.

I try not to respond here ever. But i'll give it a go. The Top player left for YJ, good luck she is a great player .One defender left for Legacy, good luck to her as well. two girls quit travel lacrosse totally. the other girls were not invited back to the black team, for whatever reason. they were replaced with players SS feels fit what she's trying to do. Not sure where you see 11. This is not a game, picking on 13 year old girls to puff out your own chest. So yes there is turnover, but it's not quite how you drew it up. It's obvious that this is not the same team it was two years ago, but don't knock the girls that stayed. I'm especially ashamed for the parents who were on the sidelines that praised all the positive things the girls had the first couple years but now badmouth the girls that stayed. You guys should especially be ashamed of yourselves, just a bunch of pathetic losers who have nothing else to do with your time. You know who you are, just move on, if you're daughter is happy let it go.
