[quote=Anonymous]Wow with all this talk of a weak field in Indiana I was expecting the Yellow Jackets teams to be the last two 2020s standing. But it turns out that the actual Final Four is one YJ team + MD + CO + FL. The 2-loss YeLLow Jackets team is playing for fifth place in the consolation bracket.

Jones team is a shell of their former self, that is why they have played in weak brackets all summer. God forbid this team had to face Curcio! A number of jones girls looking for new teams.

Jones girls are looking for greener pastures.

In all seriousness, if you are going into high school and on a B team, it's time to have a difficult conversation about why you are shelling out over $3k per year for club lacrosse and travelling around the country. What's the end goal?

So we all know the YJ's have played some great games this summer against the MD teams (the ones that didn't play this week) but they just outscored the competition at the National Championships 108 to 16!

I think that says it all that there was ZERO competition.

And how is 22-0 ever defensible? I don't care if it was the world championships that shows zero class

So with the season ending this weekend, just wanted some feedback on what the tryouts are looking like for the different clubs in this age group here on Long Island. Are most girls pretty much staying put or will there be a lot of movement among clubs? TG played down the whole summer, They did OK considering they played without 2 of their top players, but can they still be considered a strong A level team when they played no real A level competition? YJ Blue held their own, not so sure about gold though. Legacy Blue played practically no competition at all and was practically non existent this summer on the lax circuit in the terms of playing teams that actually matter except for the one game against YJ. This startup looked promising when they started but now that the hype has gone, there's nothing impressive there. All B players that couldn't cut it at YJ or TG go to Legacy
Liberty did ok also, They do need to play in better tournaments also and need stronger faster horses. Let's hear from the parents of these and other clubs, pros vs cons and help each other out.

Bad coaching, terrible club leadership in sportsmanship, parents that embrace both.... WOW

Would love to hear the blue parents justify this score!

Waiting for the my kid got hers and that's all I am worried about

the 2020 YJ teams were playing 2021's....all for the $3 medal. Keep lining the pockets

Teal is also playing up in the A division ( as usual ) they play up. Could play down like some clubs....

Did teal win second game? What was score?

[quote=Anonymous]We lost to sound crosse as well 8-4.. They have us playing up to give us more competition and challenge us a bit !! We didn't get blown out .. We could play down and run through everyone ..

Teal would rather play up and lose to everyone

So tell me what's better ?? Play down and run through all the competition, with no challenge or play up and be challenged and be competitive ?? There was no blow out and it made our daughters rise to the occasion !!

I am actually not from Denmark at all. No alignment w ei or bbp. But I have been at all the games last year and this year watching what's going on .. Yes def some changes need to b made. But would still rather b here than tg or yj.. And if he wanted to line his pockets wouldn't there b a 3 rd team ?? There were certainly enough girls at the tryouts for one ... Every program has its issues and we are no different .. Make no mistake. If you wanna play in college. There will be a place for you to play. .. May not b a top 10 school but. You will definitely play some where .. Trust me I have seen it happen in my district !!

lol..See the problem with that team is the parents and players want it to be an "A" team so bad. They are delusional and haven't realized yet that they are just a "B" team who solely exists to line Levys pockets. It's quite evident when a program only takes one team to a recruiting tournament, stacks one team with two decent coaches and leaves the "B" with terrible coaches and sends the other lacrosse nobody's AKA Teal to Hofstra to get destroyed. Are the "B" team girls not recruitable? DELETED
DELETED No question. Done it for all of them.DELETED You know that part going in. You not only have to deal with EI, but he has aligned himself with RG and the BBP clan. Alot of Teal parents are frustrated because a couple of the BBP kids on the Blue team should be moved down. But they know now that it will never happen. Whoever heard of 6 kids from the same town on a travel team? Common sense tells you that there is something rotten in Denmark.

Seems to me that you are Denmark!!!!

Yes a lot needs to be changed.. But just know it's not only b team that's miserable. bottom half and some other "a" team is also pissed. Some know they didn't belong there and got nothing of what they were promised. and as far as tryouts a lot of kids left teal at the end of summer there were 9 slots open. so many people that tried out last year and made the a team, decided to go elsewhere quite a few of the 2021's totally decided against this club and went to YJ. Hence the collaboration with RG. Program was bleeding from both 2020 teams end of season last year and RG filled the plugs and girls that thought they were going to be moved up from Teal to fill the plugs of those that left felt slighted when RG brought his squad on board.

So tell me what's better ?? Play down and run through all the competition, with no challenge or play up and be challenged and be competitive ?? There was no blow out and it made our daughters rise to the occasion !!
