quessing your the amazing one's parent.

If a Non A team kid asks for a referral from their coach do they get it? Curious about this for all clubs.

UA 150 is a B level showcase . Elite 120 is the premier showcase . Get an invite from there and you will be happy. Most of Top schools and talent attend that event. Look at the list from last year .

No. Not even a daughter on the team. But have played them enough.

That remains to be seen. I agree the Nike Elite is the premier combine type event, that's why you see all these other sponser companies trying to run there own version. Under Armour does a great job with the regional team tournament, that is certainly elite. But that does not translate to this event. I know many of the top girls opted out of this thing. Might turn out to be a good event or someday become a good event, who knows.

Would you guy go to both if selected, or just the Nike 120

Is there a website or link for the Nike 120? Can't seem to find it in Google. Thanks!

If you can get her in elite 120 you do not need UA150. Very selective for a reason. Best coaches there. Very high percentage of the kids are going to very schools for academics and high level of lax. My daughter went last year and got several looks and follow ups. She is 2019 and all set. Good luck

My 2021 daughter was asked to both. She asked her older, committed friends about Nike and they all agreed that it was a great event but generated no leads with coaches. The earliest leads came during/after the following summer. She declined b/c we live in Maryland and the event required hotel stay(s) and travel over a holiday weekend. She accepted the UA event because it is local and combines Chris Robinson and UA. If it is not a great event yet, it will be.

If this is your first time doing this, try to keep your emotions in check and prioritize your time and money. I felt pressured to do everything with my first child. It worked out but many, many of his friends and peers are committed and they did not do Jake Reed, Maverick, Adrenaline, Philly Freshman, etc. They played in good tournaments with their club teams and their HS teams and their coaches worked hard on their behalf (they have to have an advocate who knows the coaching community.)

My 2c. Good luck.

Thank you for the website!

Hey Skywalkers. What happened to your team? I heard M&D was missing 1/3 of their team and they still absolutely blew you out. No defense, no offense - can't catch the ball, no good. Isolation middle dodges does not work at this level. We were hoping for a bit more competition than that. Back to the drawing board getting ready for Spring or you will have a long, long season.

Stop it.. You can't say i heard M&D was missing players and then say we were hoping for more competition. No M&D parent posted this. The smaller fields and format certainly benefit M&D because they have better stick skills where SW tries to use their 3 horses to run it down the field and score or draw an 8 meter. 25-8 was sweet though. Not gonna lie.

M&D Parent

I truly hope this is a kid, otherwise this is completely pathetic. "We" were hoping for more competition. this is 8th grad 7v7 tournament, please. And I am a NJ parent that has absolutely nothing to do with this game. you are everything that is wrong about this sport.

YOU ARE THE MOST PATHETIC PARENT OR PLAYER THERE IS! GROW THE F UP!

Must be a Hero's parent trolling

I'd say a drunk post. Pathetic. You have a problem and should get help

What's pathetic is the behavior of the SW parents at this game screaming at 8th grade girls on the other team while their daughters were intentionally trying to hurt the M&D girls. Funny how you can talk smack when you win but when you are getting worked that you turn into a crazed mob.

Crazed mob?? I thought both sides were relatively well behaved. SW has some work to do this Spring but should be a better team in the summer. M&D is a well oiled machine no doubt.

its just a bunch of rosie odonnell looking moms. same proclivities as well probably.

Sounds like a disgruntled Skywalkers parent unhappy with their daughters playing time

Looks like CR picked up the YJ A team???

YJ2021 commit to Penn State.

Yay for yj. Best club ever. What are you looking for?

[quote=Anonymous]YJ2021 commit to Penn State.

Thanks dad , maybe you paste that all over social media like every little thing your kid has ever done for the past year, oh wait you already have.

. Congratulations , I wouldn't pay too much attention to those who can't get past their jealousies. Hey if making a commitment isn't for your child don't do it. Apparently this makes sense to this young lady and her family. Best of luck !

True story a SW Dad storms away from his wife stating " I can't stand to watch a game standing next to you" Big mouth Mom complaining that her little actress is being fouled meanwhile anytime an opposing player comes close to her she flails her arms and shekels her head begging for a foul. PRICELESS !

And.............here come the vile jealous comments, cant anyone be happy for a young persons accomplishments, of course the parents are proud as well they should be.

Are you serious, poster ^^ ? I am not from NY and your jealousy is apparent. Dads twitter is full of football with an occasional post about his 2021 daughter. Most of it is retweeted from other media. Sour grapes much ?? As the parent of a 2021, I wish this young lady who must be quite deserving, the best of luck. My 2021 daughter was very excited in her behalf, knowing how much hard work she must have done to get where she is.

You're not from NY but you follow her dad?? Stalk much?? That's either really creepy or you're his wife and sitting next to him right now.

Honestly do not care that this kid committed but this YJ age in particular is brutal with the social media nonsense.If they just would have saved their money from the hundreds of camps they have done they would not need to worry about scholorships.

I follow YJ twitter because I enjoy the game and we play their teams. My 14 year old also follows Coach Rose and many other twitters and Instagram of players all over the country and has had fun meeting these girls at tournaments. Of course I googled her - I'm sure everyone did and if you didn't, good for you. I googled the Navy commit also. Your jealousy is astounding. Are you the parent of a teammate ? What a tool.

Will most lacrosse be moving toward the U9/U10/U11 model that is supposed to go into affect September 2017? Wonder how that will affect clubs, or existing teams.

According to US lacrosse yes the new age model is supposed to go into effect.

Penn State announced they hired a new womens coach today... are the verbals in jeopardy?

No

US Lacrosse has no control over the club teams and the clubs are the ones who run the tournaments. So the answer is no, LI, PA, NJ and Maryland will remain grade based.

Wake up. She's far from being the best one on that team. Politics as usual. Dad sold her through his connections.

Sorry.. Assistant Head Coach at Penn State.. reading comprehension off a bit today..
Great School.. good luck
