I have a question, my daughter played on 2022 team last year but is a 2023 player. Do clubs usually make you tryout for 2023 or can do clubs usually have them tryout with the team that she played for all last summer. She was an above average player but not the best player on the field. The team was very competitive and successful and my daughter really enjoyed the girls she was playing with. Just not sure of the protocol at most clubs. Any info would be great.

Thanks in advance

I would say that she would try out with the age that she wants to play on. Most clubs will have you attend those tryouts. But best bet is to ask the specific club.

Big year for this age group as the girls enter middle school after the Summer season. It seems that this particular age is when girls physically develop in leaps and bounds, like no other year. Invisible kids from the year prior all of the sudden emerge as studs. Many of those ahead of the curve kids start to disappear. It is also funny, or sad, depends how you look at it, to watch all the politically placed kids start to really struggle. The coaches daughter and the group of friends that have all been on the top teams starts to corrode the teams that are politically put together. Sorry, if there is more than one or two kids from one town on an elite club's top team, something drastically wrong is going on. By far this is the most dramatic year for change.

I got to ask, are you really bitter about how things turned out for your own child or is this just a friendly public service announcement?

As a parent of three girls I would say 6-7 was the most dramatic change in attitude but not physically. 7-8 in our case but maybe we had late bloomers.

Sorry about the A team though

YJ A -they beat everybody
Top Gun Black - went 20-3 and never lost to a LI team
and third is either Legacy which almost beat TG or YJ B

Liberty has gotten handled and when played TG, TG missed two of their best players that day.

There are a few local town teams that might be 3rd.

They might score some goals a keep it close but that is about the best they can hope for

Nn
Last summer liberty beat a local team by 1. It was a very competitive game decided in the last minutes. Some towns have the talent to field very good teams,

just the very idea that someone would remember a 5th/6th grade girls summer lax score result is pretty scary...wow....

Didn't YJ B beat Liberty Black in Farmingdale last summer?

yes they did, YJ B went 4-0 that tournament although they lost to the A team in the final...

Did they play the finals or was it forfiet to A team
I know that was done I one tourny -

Liberty tied Top Gun Black with TG missing two best offensive players, otherwise would not have even been close. In fact TG went on to win that tourney at Hofstra and Liberty did not even make it to the finals.

YJ A
TG Black
third is probably YJ B

How many teams does YJ have at this age group?
2 or 3 ?

The YJ 2022's are scheduled to play at the Midatlantic tournament in May in MD.
