Do you mean YJ? A few examples ... G8 last summer. YJ 3-2 in 5 games. There were 5 teams with at least 3-2 records or better. Lax For The Cure, YJ lost to Steps and beat Mass Elite by 1. I would say they are in a group with 3-5 teams behind the top couple in the age group. They r fine. They just aren't "Clearly" one of the top 3 teams.

I find it quite interesting and highly hypocritical that you are interested in having a " phone conversation, email or God forbid a face to face. It really sucks to have someone speak poorly of you behind the veil of anonymity. Here's a thought how about having the same one on one conversation you are requesting of me ,with your coaches who you continue to besmirch . For the record I never singled anyone out but it appears as if you felt the need to defend yourself from anonymous attacks. I am sure you felt the need to defend your position just as the recipients of your attacks most certainly do as well. It's time for you to make a phone call. MAN UP !

You two A-holes realize you're fighting over 14 year old girls lacrosse right?

If you don't stop being mean, I'll scratch your eyes out and pull your hair! LMAO

that's a long list of teams and some are real soft.. a guy on my desk daughter plays for steps out of NJ. he is crushed every Monday morning, according to him they have never beaten any LI team, even elevate.... don't know much about mass elite either

what team are you watching? we have never lost to steps and have probably played them 10 times in this division. get the facts.. wth man?

First off, I believe Steps beat YJ at Lax for the cure. Doesn't matter tho. Was not saying Steps is as good as YJ. Was just saying YJ is not clearly in the top 3 in 2019. They are in a pack of 3 or 4 teams that are a SMALL step down from M&D at least and probably Heros. That group of 3 or 4 is up for debate but at least includes Skywalkers and a few others. As far as Mass Elite, they lost to YJ by one at the buzzer the only time they have played, so MIGHT suggest they are at least in the ballpark? And Mass Elite handily dismissed Elevate at that same tournament. Was not even a game. So there are two conclusions I am making. 1. YJ is very good, just not clearly one of the top 3 in the age. Might be, but it's not clear. They maybe in a tie for 3rd w several other teams, how's that? Elevate is not in the same league as at least 8 programs, maybe more.

There is a rabid Elevate supporter on several age group threads demanding proof that Elevate is not considered as one of the top clubs. Has some of their teams taken a game from some top teams once in a while? yes. But honestly across all age groups there is no way you can consider this club the top tier, not even in a single age group. I know you will point to some random win over anther club here or there as proof, but big picture, I am sure if you asked any and all the people from the top clubs if they thought Elevate was top tier, you would hear a resounding NO. Top tier meaning they have a team in every age group at or near the top five. That list is short and Elevate is not remotely close. Even on long Island the may not even be in top 3.

I think the question was how many times have they beat TG and Liberty?

Topguns has taken a large step down in recent years but still edges out Elevate. The debate begins between Elevate and Liberty to round out top three on LI.

Thanks for not saying why this YJ team is the worst top YJ team , don't worry everyone knows the answer as to why this age group is not even in the discussion as top team in the age group. Actually you attempted to single out a child when in fact I was just singling out the butt kissing [lacrosse] that pretends to be a coach. Could be wrong but I have heard this same [lacrosse] may be breaking some rules in regard to school district residency to up the anty on butt kissing . Feel free to disparage a kid again but that will make yours free game .

Md seems so civilized now!! Thanks

It's not important who is the top team in Long Island as much as the girls are happy and having fun

Don't have a daughter on either of the 2019 teams but having seen them both play I would take liberty black over elevate blue for sure. Liberty is a much better team. Elevate has a few good players but do not play as a team.

Steps beat YJ 1 and Top guns in back to back Games to end the fall Season!!!!

Congrats, 2 great wins. You must have gone 4-0 at that tournament, right?

Elevate is very weak compared to top teams in the 2019 and 2020 age groups and I think that would hold true for other age groups as well. Have mostly seen them in the 2019 and 2020 groups and I believe other younger ages are pretty much the same. They do not draw the same talent other clubs draw so its hard for them to compete at a high level.

yeah sure they did. those rich kids with their 25 kid rosters from NJ.. the profits that club generates make CR look like a non profit volunteer rec coach

You talking about Steps 19?

Elevate 2020 Blue is a very solid team. Not exactly at the point of a YJ Blue, but I would consider them top 3 on LI absolutely.

ahh yeah. what other team shows up with 15 subs all lined up waiting to play? feel bad for those kids

What towns will feel the hit of the girls going to the private schools

Uh...No. Maybe #5. YJ Blue, Leg Blue, TG Black, YJ Gold

TG black. Stop

Elevate Blue tied Legacy and YJ Gold last summer so not sure why they are behind both and TG Black lost their star player so I certainly would have them below all three of these teams.

Why r u guys talking about 2020 teams in 2019 thread? Go there please. Now back to our originally scheduled programing ...

How's the recruiting road treating everyone? The timelines moved up again this year. Does it seem like it's slowed down a bit now that teams are in season?

Seems like it slowed down a bit. Yj had a couple kids commit last week, i guess it just depends on the schools.

where r they going?

I think 2 recently committed to Notre Dame and Maryland. Others listed on YJs website. Most other programs do not have as many 2019s committed yet. Not a statement about JYs (and it is not a race), just based on what is on websites.

They must have heard you - two more this week, Delaware and Penn State.

thank you coach sausage

Nope, not even close - was just following up on a question that was asked. And I only know the sausage reference from reading it on here.

The "dark horse" at this age is the "A" team for Integrity.

Ranking according to a top D1 Assistant coach (not a full ranking but during recruiting said these were the top 3 teams they had seen at this age).

M&D
Mass Elite
Heros

I was surprised. My Daughter plays for a different Maryland team and I can understand M&D and Heros. Surprised by Mass Elite. We have never played them but what about YJ?

YJ 2020 would beat 19 blue

Easily

Keep hearing that. Is it really true? Saw them both play at a tournament in the fall. Not sure I would go that far.

Mass elite?? Obv a parent. Heros and mnd yes. Integrity is also very good. Heros hab yj 8-3 in tourney last year only to end up 9-6. Should be a fun few years now that the girls have lacrosse every day.

Heros also lost to Yj by 4 in a game last summer

Nope. Not a parent. Just reporting what I was told. Out of curiosity, why do you doubt the statement?
