BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2021-7th Grade Fall 2015 Summer 2016

DK is a god on this site and ANY badmouthing of him and Elevate is not permissible..on the other hand, TG and BS are fair game as well as most/all other programs...

agreed..scary that anyone would be that hard-up about another adult...especially a Lax coach!.... but DK has burned many folks and nobody can ignore that fact...

Do you know what he does? He is in it for the money..Thats it. Daughter wants to quit the team but he made us pay in full..If we didnt he would charge interest...I hope more parents open their eyes to this program..Very misleading..$$$$ grab.

Not taking any sides but not sure I'm buying this? You had a choice to make after tryouts to either accept or decline your position. He didn't "make you pay" you wrote the check. Sounds like there's two sides to this story.

The problem with these forums is you only seem to get really happy drinking the kool-aid folks or the really disgruntled ones who come on here and love to bash. There's been a lot of good information shared on this site and a lot of BS too.

LOL! Yup. "Made them accept the position".
"They made me sign the paper or else I would wake up with my daughter's pony..."

Elevate made you pay in full? I thought they had a payment plan. Why does she want to quit?

I think what was meant was that they have made several payments adding up to a large sum of money and now that they have played in a few tournaments and maybe had a few practices they are regretful. It's not a good feeling when you pay a lot of money for a product that doesn't live up to your expectations.

Elevate has changed a lot since last year. The club had multiple sessions for testing at the Hub in Syosett last year. They have nothing this year. nothing. Why? No one knows. No reason given. Anyone know why? Seems very odd. Quality girls left the program for a start up program at Igloo. Def step backward.

The Hub changed owners.

and what happened at Cold Spring Harbor, where Elevate had full run of facilities/...coincidence that Elevate loes both Hub AND CSH in same season?

The bottom line is that you now have (2) teams that will not compete at the upper level of play. Say what you want but Elevate could at least give you a game in the past. Sorry to say it but both Elevate and Igloo will struggle if they happen to enter into the top brackets at tournaments. If your daughter wants to be challenged you really only have one choice to play top flight competition. It's a shame but that is the reality of this age group on LI.

Mm
Elevate picked up some unhappy girls and will be fine. The igloo girls will be disenchanted and go next year. It's the way it rolls.

Was there any movement from TG to the other clubs? The rosters won't be posted any time soon.

Why have tryouts in August if you don't plan to post a roster?

Hey troll. Why are you so fixated on TG roster. The girls know which team they are on. You don't need to know. See ya. Merry Christmas

You sound like the elevate poster who keeps saying everything is just fine.

There's nothing worse then accepting your spot, send in your payment and find out half have left and club is now scrambling to fill out teams.

Again I will spell it out. The girls and families know who are on the TG teams. Second NOBODY is forcing you to do anything. Worry about YOUR team and organization. Happy New Year

Why have tryouts in August if you don't plan to post a roster?

What do the date of the tryouts and posting or not posting rosters have to do with each other?

There is a difference between posting rosters and making proposed rosters available for invited people to see. The rosters are the clubs and players business, no need to publicly post them. But proposed rosters should certainly be available to players making a decision to take a roster spot for a multitude of reasons. Did they make the right choices of players moving up, down, coming ,going. Did they get rid of the loud mouth parents that know one wants to stand next to on the sidelines. Is the politically placed kids situation getting worse or better, etc.... I find YJs choice to only show invited players the roster interesting, I know so many players who were scared to even try out because they posted every name who tried out and put them in an awkward situation if they went back to club they were trying to leave. I think you will see a huge surge in talent trying out next year because they can do it anonymously, with no repercussions of going back to their original club if it doesn't work out.

What do the date of the tryouts and posting or not posting rosters have to do with each other?

BS has seen many of his best girls leave his club, and many driven away due to the frustration of better players having to play with lesser players from towns he favors, sick of seeing superior teammates on purple teams while stuck playing with lesser players on Black teams. BS has also dropped the ball recently in the recruiting department, many older girls 2018 especially had jumped ship, and that one hurt him as those were his better players, but in 8 weeks with YJ those girls have had 5x the college contacts that they have had with BS. When you have quality 2017's leaving too, then you know the ship is sinking.

So if he posted his roster it would be very embarrassing for him, SS and the club. It probably would lead to other departures especially now programs are popping up in their area and drawing upon their pool And the cThat speak volumes when older girls leave your Black team and take a spot on another programs 2nd team. The silence from the TG camp is deafening.

MD United East should be in the conversation. They knocked off M&D last summer

That's what happened at elevate all the good players left and Dave is scrambling to create a 2018 team unfortunately people want to stay away from him and team elevate I wish I knew before I paid

As a member of a TG family, you are totally wrong. Most girls have no idea who will be on their team. If the Sunday morning practices are any indication, TG is still looking for players. Very few girls at every age group are showing up for practices.
