Secret weapon is the girl who hopped from TG, to Leg, and now on YJ

if she could not crack the top team she was playing on last year , how do you think she will crack one of the top two YJ teams this year. And I seriously doubt this was posted by a YJ parent.. they are arrogant but not this arrogant to start the sentence off with " my kid is secure " . What a tool

I think we can all say the secret weapon is a solid B player and would probably shine with some work on that team.. Not ready for the A team yet! Legacy and Topgun got it right. Sorry dad!

Secret weapon is the girl who hopped from TG, to Leg, and now on YJ

There is absolutely nothing secret about this girl. She has been brought up ad nauseam by her parents and cronies. Enough. Let this poor girl just play where she belongs. Sometimes the coaches get it right.

My kid is not on the A team, but we have been around YJ and the tryouts process for quite a while as my older also came through the program. I can tell you this that once the girls get to the white pinney,That pretty much means that they have made A or B, especially if hand picked by CR. As you saw by the tryouts yesterday that girl ran laps around both teams and was one of 3 in the white pinnies, You can also tell who made Blue by who the coaches esp who the owner/head coach is talking and laughing with...There is nothing that jealousy, hating or creating all this drama will do to change that. CR simply does not have time to waste on kids that she believes will not be able to bring something to those teams. She runs her program how she sees fit and nothing you nag and complain about on here will change that. If you still have issues with her choosing other girls over yours, then that is a conversation you need to have with CR. Maybe that is why so many girls were still in red and not moved, That does not mean that you get on here and hate on kids, It just means you work harder and try again next year. We have accepted this reality and are fine with the team my kid is on.

Back end deal made before tryouts!

So clarification... the white pinneys meant what?

What is this back end deal?

So if the new kid that is better than most kids on the team, bumps a kid thats been on the team for years, but it was done on a back door, thats a bad thing? If the kid is better, everything else is a moot point.

Great! Even more comradery, since this girl is making 'A' team players bump down to the 'B' team...

Let us all settle down for a minute. The stories, saga and drama of one kid is rather entertaining too say the least. But can this really be true as told, a kid out running everyone all the time is funny, how fast can this kid be? How is said person stick skills? and I bet just bet said person is a ball hog. That doesn't qualify anyone to be on any real A team program. Why the sudden mention of this person everywhere, you mean to say no one ever saw this person at any LI clinics, camps and recognized a diamond in the rough? What coaching she must of had to be kept invisible and then appear from thin air too possibly be playing for CR YJ. These stories don't make sense not buying it. But yet she is not committed uhm.

Kid ran laps around all the other players? I thought the kid they brought over last year was top dog? We have a new Alpha Dog atop the team now? I see this report from two posters now.

Too sum it up for you. This kid is very fast, her stick skills are great, she is not a ball hog at all. In fact she is always passing the ball and giving teammates opportunities to shoot. This person is at almost all LI clinics and camps. Not everyone has to be committed to be a great player. Maybe she doesn't want to committ and she's only playing lacrosse because she likes it, not to get committed to a college than after college what is there? Coach at a different college? Rather not.

Not buying it. If a player that is supposedly this outstanding is in the recruiting zone, she WILL get recruited and she WILL commit. There is no way, in this environment, that she is just playing for fun and has no college lacrosse plans. So, go back, think about that ridiculous statement you made, and try again.

That's whats great about the YJ program, No spot is guaranteed if there is no progression, You have to bust your but to work hard to keep your spot and that is the way it should be on all programs.....Happens every year at YJ tryouts,girls get bumped all the time. Why do you think all the YJ rejects are at Leg? Remember that program was started on the back of disgruntled players that were demoted at YJ and decided to go to Leg..Same thing with the one's that moved down from TG Black to purple.. They all ended up on Leg. Has nothing to do with comradery but how CR, BS and SS runs their program and how the kids progress each year. If kids are not progressing they have to move. Programs are in it to win. Can't win on a A team filled with B players hence the lack of talent on Leg.

Wow. sounds like someone needs some professional help. Please put down the bottle and focus on your 12 step program. First step is to admit that you have a problem.

You people all take this sport of girls lacrosse way to seriously. This is not the NFL or MLB. There are no multi million dollar contracts.
I would rather my kid is the weakest player at Brown University than the strongest player at Maryland or UNC.

Actually sounds right to me. Not fond of them bashing Leg, but I agree with the essence.... Get your [lacrosse] in gear or lose your spot, thank goodness. People crying about lack of loyalty to players, brokered landing spots for studs etc... Know what? that is exactly what draws the top players to the program. They want to be a part of the best assembly of players that they can . And once you are a part of it, keep up with it or your gone. No complacency. You also need to be accepting if your daughter can't keep up. The harshest reality I see repeat itself in girls lacrosse over and over is parents lax skilling a kid up. 2nd and 3rd grade Suzie really starts to stand out. 4th and 5th grade she is lights out and owns the field. 6th and 7th grade things seem to be evening out. 8th and 9th grade-what the [lacrosse] just happened? All these kids with a head start with the skills eventually get caught up to. The kids with speed, vision, athletic ability and pure aggression take over. Those are the things you cant train or teach, they are born with it. Point is that it is absolutely necessary to replace at tryouts in order to remain at the very top of the competition. There are many teams out there with a completely different philosophy, and there is a fit for everyone. Stop complaining about what a shame tryouts are, the track record of the top teams speaks for itself. The end justifies the means.

Blah blah blah... deaf ears. Once again you must have crushed them by 10 or more every time you played them right. Small community [lacrosse]. Why don't you just come out and tell us who you hate and why.
