Umm, last time YJA played TG 2023, TG won, check your facts

Why let facts get in the way? YJ is the greatest they can't lose to anybody. They should of lost to Igloo also.

They only won because several of the YJ players were getting their diapers changed. Enjoy your success now not the first time YJ has lost when they are very young, see 2020 age, only to end up being an afterthought when they get older.

Best TG girls we leave in a few years, bump a few YJA players down and YJ will again like every older team have the top girls on LI. Sorry but that's reality. Lots of movement at the younger ages as it should be. By 9th grade things settle down.

People keep running to give CR a check and kiss her [lacrosse] so nothing will change. I'm guilty of it myself. I'm reconsidering it now. The more I see, the longer my daughter is in the club, the more I know it is a sham. My daughter's "A" team was far from that last year. The "talent" on the bottom end of the roster was pathetic. I realized she had to put the kids somewhere or make another team and pay another coach. Have to get to the "magic" number of 24 girls so she can maximize her profits. It's not the kids fault - CR is a crook and not a very nice one at that. At least other clubs smile at you while taking your money. She's a witch with a capital B. There is nothing "Elite" about CR or her program unless you happen to be lucky and get a good coach. Even then, they have to clear everything through CR and most are afraid of her.

Assuming you are talking 2025 since that was the only year with one team? If you are this unhappy and miserable get out now. You have a long road ahead and probably won't be missed anyway. Good luck! Oh and some of those pathetic 9yr olds will pass many of the so called top half in a few years.

Now, that's the truth! And no my daughter was not cut, she walked away from a team that was sub-par which is 2021,2022,2023 and 2024

She walked away from which team? Does this mean she didn't even tryout?

We will see her in a couple years wearing the green pinny at tryouts.

will never happen, would be taking a step backward, YJ team no good

Give it a year or two, they will be far better than all the other LI options very soon and continue to pull away the rest of the way. Most years start off better out of the box, but YJ top teams do something no other club does, continually attract the top talent on the island. You are a rare person who walks away from a blue team, I have seen it done a very few times and only by players who were bottom of bench, limited role or playing time or the writing was on the wall.

The post says "the longer my daughter is in the club ..." How does this make the girl a 2025? The '25s were a first year team last year. There was a 24/25 team which was the B team. Same for the 2024 age group, an A team and the 24/25 mix. Your logic is flawed since both ages had 2 teams. Then factor in the "the longer my daughter is in the club ..." part and you have to conclude at minimum the girl is a 2024.

Why do people find it so important to be on a top level lacrosse team in a top level lacrosse program?
If your kid is destined for success, they will get there with or without ANY lacrosse experience!
Is it really that important to so many for their kid to be good at this game that has no future??

You keep saying this, but years like 2023 keep getting worse and can't even beat some LI clubs, or have very competitive one goal games with them?? They also lost good players this year and didn't gain any. Your point is not being supported by facts?

The only other YJ age group that wasn't better than other LI teams from the get-go was YJ2020 (REF TG2020BLK). But they sure are now. And every other age group started ahead and widened the gap every year. The only question here is will 2023 turn it around? my opinion is yes they will, but we will see.

Considering that half of the LI teams at any grade level ARE YJ's, that's not saying much.

YJ has more of the original TG2020 kids then TG does, what does that tell you?

Whoever is saying that YJ is going downhill, check the history. This thread is 720 pages long and every year some yahoo gets on here and starts this nonsense. The 2015 is the last good year, no no no the 2017 is the last good year, yj is going downhill, wait no no no the 2018 is the last good year. Now its the 2020 is the last good year. and every couple of years some knucklehead thinks hey I can start a new girls club and I am going to get the best girls and compete with YJ. Good luck!!!If you do not like the yellow jackets great, go and find somewhere else, there are 100 girls that that will step over your daughter and take her spot in a second. 2021 and 2022 have handled with ease every Long island that they have played. It is not competitive so off to Maryland and New Jersey we go to play teams that are competitive. Winning by 10 to 15 goals a game is useless to improving the girls overall lacrosse skill. So maybe top guns, elevate legacy, Icon, igloo and whoever else thinks that they can compete get an allstar team together and then come talk to YJ and maybe it will be a competitive game. If not then keep dreaming!!!! BZZZZZ!!!
