The YJ team we played yesterday is excellent. New goalie is really good and makes their one two goalie tandem as good as any club team in the country. Solid athletes in all positions with a big league lefty attacker that can score or assist at will. Losing by a goal to the three best MD teams is tough, but an indication of darn good things to come. See you next Summer for some more great ball to watch. Thanks for coming down Great to come down and play the 3 best teams in the nation. All great games and intense competition. YJ has beaten and lost to all three of these teams and will likely swap wins and loses for the rest of the way out. I would say that all these teams plus stars could win against the others on any given day. The chest pounding, team ranking, mud slinging is all just silly. At the end of the day we know exactly who the best teams are and we purposely attend the events in order to play them. Yes three losses by a total of three goals is not the results we hoped for, but the extremely competitive play is exactly what we hoped for. There is some ridiculous talent sprinkled throughout these teams and it was great to see and fun to watch. We play so many ridiculously uncompetitive games throughout the year that makes a tournament like this so awesome, win or lose. Keep congratulating yourselves. You guys are pathetic with the ridiculous talent thing , get over yourselves . The good news is your 2021 YJ team now takes the top spot for worst top YJ team in history. It is great to see all the mentioned teams at a single venue. And the talent on the field IS ridiculous! Sorry it sounds very much like your daughter is not on one of these teams. And hey, there are plenty of talented players playing on other teams, If your daughter is one of them, great, good for you. But don't hate and try to deny the talent of these other girls on these other teams. Most of the "who's who" of D1 down the road will in fact come from girls coming from this group of teams. Hating on them will not change that.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Yes they did. We found that it didn't make the game more physical, as some expect. It actually helped ref hear any type of head contact, that would normally be missed in a crowd, resulting in a few more calls. I asked a few of the players after the game what they thought of them, and they were all very positive about using it. They admitted it did take a bit getting used too, but over all they don't mind playing with it. It will be interesting to see how many other teams accept it.

YJ lost to M&D by 3 goals alone. The others were one goal games, but wasn't even close in MD game. Why lie? . So here is your problem, it was a one goal game. They made an error entering the score in the tourny machine app, unfortunate for stalkers like you trying to make your point when in fact you have no idea what you are talking about. Never close is another indication of you ignorance, they were up by multiple goals at one point. Not looking for a fight with the M&D parents. You are a great team and the better team won, hats off to them. This is in response to a parent who clearly is not from either team and has no idea what they are talking about. Sad person.

Here is the issue you are just an ignorant pompous person and it shows in everything you write.You think most of the who's who will come from those four teams is the icing on the cake. Go look at the defending national champs and see how many off that team are from those teams.

Consider that Northwestern and Maryland have won every championship outside of 2012 and 2016 going back to 2005. There were certainly many players from the aforementioned clubs. You should also read the original post again, I believe it reads "there are many talented players from other clubs" doesn't sound too pompous to me. It's time to let go of your anger ,I am sure it rears it"s ugly head in other aspects of your life.

You find it interesting that I would use a roster from last year when discussing future players but you think teams from 7-10 years ago are more relevant ,that makes perfect sense. Why can't parents, coaches and players enjoy their success without a bunch of safe spacers trying to end the fun? Yes, they are only 13 and there is a long way to go, but they won today and let them enjoy it. Your kid sucks today get over it or get better, she might be the best in 2 years. I will follow your lead and go to more recent years. How about 2014 & 2015 Champs ? Maryland's teams were loaded with ladies from the clubs described earlier, Is that recent enough ? You got me .You got me to remember you cannot argue with crazy or stupid.I guess all the other age groups and players besides those on the four superstar teams should just pack it in.Thanks crazy dad, not sure why the college coaches even watch any teams but the ones you mentioned. "Most of the "who's who" of D1 down the road will in fact come from girls coming from this group of teams" You should get T-shirts made up with your new slogan, because as you said its a fact, what a tool.

The top clubs are looking for physical, fast athletes to charge to the goal by middies. Very little emphasis on finesse attack play. M&D is the exception. They control the ball from behind the goal. Heros, stars, YJ, and Sky walkers have a heavy emphasis on middies doing the damage.

Reality is there are plenty of very talented players all over the country that are on bad teams, the aforementioned teams have depth that most others don't, that's what makes them hard to beat - please remember NO coach is recruiting a team!

There are certain teams that are exceptionally skilled in certain areas and the YJ's have great middies and this is a midfield game. I'm impressed with M&D's attack, Heros team defense and some other units/players as they come to mind. Bottom line...I have no doubt YJ will be in the mix with everyone else this summer. They have legit talent. You are correct and wait until you see the two new middies coming over. Center draw and circle play will be lights out this summer.

Hard to tell, only a very small handful of blue girls are doing tournament. There are more girls from outside or team below than actual team members.

Anonymous Unregistered A	From another post, but brings a valid point to the 2021s. Will US Lacrosse mandate age requirements to be eligible for insurance? The issue will come down to insurance. If the Club program or the tournament gets their insurance through US Lacrosse (most of them do) they are going to have no alternative then to adopt this rule. No one is going to be able to self insure themselves against the potential lawsuit that would come if they allowed an older girl to compete younger girls. [/quote] Perfectly stated! US Lacrosse insurance rules will mandate the change

That said I would bet some other insurance would jump in to fill the void , it's all about the money .

No one is going to be able to self insure themselves against the potential lawsuit that would come if they allowed an older girl to compete younger girls. Perfectly stated! US Lacrosse insurance rules will mandate the change I hope they do it would level the playing field a little . That said I would bet some other insurance would jump in to fill the void , it's all about the money . [/quote] USL can only mandate the rules in tournaments they sponsor. For the most part, no one goes to their tournaments anymore so they are totally powerless to enforce this.
