BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2020-8th Grade Fall 2015 Summer 2016

What are you talking about?

Played up, Played down, who cares? You are full of excuses, I get it you're embarrassed. Team is and will always be mid-low level "B" Did you guys at least win one game this weekend?

Yes

Who cares? Parents should you sound like a child. I hope you are this way we don't all think a grown parent wrote that statement. If so your pathetic.lol Get a life.
Some of the greatest teams/games are a few goals away. Again, Your either a child or a disgruntled parent on the YJ 7th team with 36 girls on the team along with 3 goalies..Now, I watched the game against TG and I was there this summer. Maybe teal should of played in there bracket....but then again they were a few goals away from wins. I rather see a competitive game then be 22-1 like some teams clubs.
Def. girls on Teal and Blue that don't belong. They need a really good coach on that team and they will soon have 2 really good teams in this age group.

What do you even know about about legacy teal ?? Absolutely nothing !!! Unless your on the team .. First off the crap about RG .. The bbp girls were there before he was morons .. That just proves you know absolutely nothing !! Second. Why don't you worry about your own team and not ours .. Get a life .. You don't have to tryout or be a part of anything to do with us .. Go find someone else to bash .. I mean if your fact were right sure .. But your an absolute moron. Without a clue .. We don't need to make excuses.. We played up. Parents are ok with it kids worked hard .. Mind your own F&&ing business !! 😊

Thank you!!!! Would love to know who and why they have such an obsession with what they think is such an inferior team. Move on already!

They are jealous because Teal plays up and does well. It will be even better next year , so get ready...
Come on... took on SS and the TG at Hofstra down girls with 3 subs and a loss by only 4. I hope teal plays TG black and more A teams next year.
I do think all the girls on both teams played well

Why is there all this back and forth about a second tier B team? Can't we talk about something else?

Yes you can pick a subject type it in the correct forum and start your own conversation

Why? It's just as meaningless as A team chatter.

Good for them playing in the higher division but don't fool yourselves into thinking that you can actually play competitive games against A level teams. Your A team has never beaten a good team so lets not get too excited. TG black is no longer anything to brag about.

It will be better for TG next year too as they were playing without a few players due to injury.

DELETED


Are you a pedophile? I am really beginning to think that you are.

you know nothing, just a troll.


You are right. The troll knows only bitterness

How many camps does the average 8th grader do in a summer? I feel like we are falling behind. I can't believe how much time and money some of my daughters teammates are spending

None here. Go to the beach - it's summer time.

Three showcase type camps and one college camp. Little much, but she does have a good idea of coaches she likes and doesn't like. She's at the Max Exposure 2020 camp now and I have to say it's packed with representation from all the usual suspect clubs.

Worry not, that $25k lax money may net a return of 8k in scholarships... so the investment is sound.

Not to mention these girls have lost complete touch with their friends. They haven't been home all summer! The parents say the kids love it, but did anyone ask the kids? All their friends are at the beach, in the pool and hanging out while they work fulltime as a 14 year old getting into college. Maybe they should be allowed to be kids and figure out college when they are juniors in HS like everybody else

Amen to that- I wish there was just a serious local intramural league for them so we could avoid this travel crap. The time+money vs actual playing time isn't worth it. My daughter gets a huge amount of time on the field in these things but it still isn't worth throwing out 4+ weekends a summer. I get angry if you even say Belt Parkway now.

Their friends will still be hanging out Wasting time in August, they can relax then. Two months of doing nothing is too much when you can be imroving at something that can be life changing if you get recruited to the right school. Speaking of that, how many rising freshman have made their commitment , and what clubs do they play for?

My daughter did 1 away camp this summer. Went with a bunch of friends. For us, that is plenty.

anyone say BURNOUT? 3 showcase and one "max exposure" camp???
coming after summer of travel lax?...cmon' guy/gal, let the young lady enjoy life....she's only 14 once!

Yes I want my kid at the beach all summer, that will teach them to be lazy and have no goals.....oh wait just like the millennials!!!! That is working out well, has your 30 year old moved out yet??

There is nothing wrong with a vacation, there is nothing wrong with attending lacrosse camps. Everything in moderation, but wasting away doing nothing is not a good thing.

Thank you for your input Mr. Marinovich

The Great Santini has spoken...as he has his daughter up at fields at 7' 'going to goal"
come back here in few years and tell us how that worked out for you champ...

Most girls would like to be with their friends but will tell parents what they want to hear. The best is when the "average" players are dragged everywhere by their clueless parents. Most were born with it and an extra August camp in 100 degree heat will change nothing except for parents looking to brag.

This race to get recruited has turned insane

Beach=Wasting time, you are pathetic.

My kid will be going to a good school with or without lacrosse. Lacrosse will be over after college anyway and then who cares how good your kid is at lacrosse because here comes life now.

After our $50k club lax investment, my kid will be getting $5k to to a college that she couldn't normally get in to and isn't prepared to attend so she will be taking basket weaving as a major. She will then commit 6+ hours a day to the team where she will be #30 on the roster. She will quit by her Junior year to enjoy her last 2 college years and take advantage of internships and other things she had been missing out on. These are the stories that no one ever talks about.

Don't push, let the process play out maybe Club and D3 is a better fit for your daughter on the field and academically. Except for the top handful of kids most of our girls and very good but not great... need to embrace that

Aren't you being a little too realistic here?

Why do so many here make it seem as, if a kid is not a superior athlete, that they won't or can't go to a good school? Millions of kids go to great schools and can't play sports for $#!t. As a matter of fact, these are usually the most successful people in life. Get over the D1 sports thing people.

Because my club lacrosse director told me that my kid was IT!
That and I haven't taken my meds today so I am a little delusional

"National Championship" is in Richmond next year - will be interesting to see if it draws the MD teams when travel isn't an issue.

No U15 division next year only U 12, 13, 14

Very weak turnout this year. An Indiana thing?

It was in VA last year and most didn't show

Not true according to USLacrosse website:
The US Lacrosse Nationals will feature age divisions for 15U (commonly associated with the high school class of 2020), 14U and 13U. The girls’ tournament is set for July 28-30, 2017, in Richmond, Va. The boys’ tournament site and dates are expected to be confirmed soon. Team registration is expected to open in August.

Wow. Back-to-back weekends in Richmond VA. next year for Capital Cup and Nationals?....that will be an enjoyable two weekends of Jersey Tpke. driving!..

This made up national championship means nothing to the MD teams so look for another year of facebook posts of the LI teams claiming to be the best in the land albeit against terribly weak competition.

Cant have 4 of the top 5 teams not be there. LI should have stopped going years ago like the boys did.
