BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2023 - 6th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

You need to watch more sports... girls lacrosse is now THE WORST of all sports. Put your head down, run to the cage and take the free possession. A whistle every 10-20 second kills any transition game and excitement. I truly feel that it requires the least skill of any game I've ever watched or played. I have HS girls that will be playing in college, a middle school girl and a 5th grade boy and even 5th grade boys lax is 1000x more exciting and fun to watch. It tragic the way the sport has taken a nosedive in the last 5-10 years.

I thought I saw on this thread of b 2023 girls moving to A and some girls moving back to B. Did that happen? and did they get a new coach?

No new coach, no new team. Both still suck.

That didn't happen and won't happen. The A team consist of siblings of older yj already in the program and the B team lost players to other clubs and is a shell of what they were last year. New coach is not happening.

Blah blah blah, sorry she didn't get pulled up, glad you left, good luck with the new club!

It will always be YJA and everyone else.....

Thats too bad. I thought they would make a good decision finally. What about there was rumor that they took b players to A because no one wants to play on that team anymore. Did that happen?

Hahaha, hold your bragging until you actually win something. You are embarrassing yourself again! Maybe you should start preparing yourself for another disappointing summer ye arse!

Everyone else like TG who consistently whips YJA's butts?

Igloo is better than YJ no question about it.

TG better than Igloo

Contrary to the previous comments yes it did happen. Only thing that didn't was new A coach. I guess CR believes it's in the clubs best interest to have a daddy coach who's kid never come out of the game and ruin the YJ brand. Par for the course..... love the nepotism

With an even bigger A roster and a coaches kid who doesn't come out of games means less playing time for everyone else.

Sounds like good times!

Why the draw to such a crazy team? I can't even imagine what the sidelines look like. It sounds like everyone is unhappy there but I guess being on A is more important than anything else.

No draw, talented girls have already left because they're fed up. Girls that were moved up will be deer in headlights in a few weeks. Girls who just joined will be regretting their decision, and the better girls will be trying out for TG, Igloo, and Legacy next year due to a losing record. We are watching the implosion of the team due to favors, family, and friends, proven recipe for disaster. I have been enjoying my popcorn during the show!

My daughter knows the Thorn girls well. She says there are 2-3 girls who are great, the rest, not so much. Coach leaves the mediocre players, including the daughters, on the field thinking the good girls will carry them. Not working. The whole team not working. It's a shame. Toxic

Wow I'm impressed on how insightful your 11 year old daughter is to know so much about a team she doesn't even play on! Or maybe you are just a scorned daddy who's little superstar didn't make the cut?

That hit the nail on the head. For the record, YJA has beaten Igloo AND top gun. The scorned daddy (& mommy) who revel in Wright beating Thorn two times fails to remember they were beaten twice by Thorn. New team/club that is not YJ, TG or Igloo is the perfect place for daddy & mommy to feel their kid is finally the star. It is a shell of a C team. Other than 3 decent BBP girls and a goalie, there will be 8 other field players who couldn't make any of the clubs. This popcorn bowl is going to be so tastey fir years to come.

One of those BBP girls is worth something. The rest are just average.

Not sure what record you are talking about TG played YJA once and beat them. Igloo also beat YJ. For the record.

What tournament did YJ beat TG?

When did they beat Top Guns? My daughter has been on that team for years, and I don't recall that happening. I also know that YJ (a team beaten by their own B team 2X), squeaked out one goal in final seconds win against Igloo. I do enjoy the rivalry and think it's great that the 2023 age group is becoming much more competitive with each other on LI. I wish the new Leg team all the best, and hope to play some good games with them. We should all just try to get along and realize that there are lots of talented girls playing on many different teams. Many of them will play together later on. There is no dominant team in this age group, which makes things much more fun!

Thats awesome a 2-2 record against the B team. Congrats

Thanks Mom/Dad! Would bet YJ is happy to be rid of you with a coment like that

yellow jackts A won't play B this year.

That should be a relief for Coach Thorn!

YJA and YJB play in all the same tournaments in championship format. Do you have a crystal ball to know they won't face each other in a playoff game or are you just flapping your gums?

they are putting them n dfferent brackets. wrights team is in harder brackets to hope for elimination. its all set up for thorn to win

That's not how it works. While every tournament is a little different, all clubs that I know of do the same exact thing. They tell the tournament director which team is number 1,2 etc. they are then placed in opposing brackets to better the chances for the club to appear in the finals. If both the A team and B team take care of business, they will play in the finals. Some tournaments place all the top A teams in one bracket, where the exiting team has an easy win in the playoffs. Some tournament spread the top teams out through the brackets, then you have blowout games in pool play. Let's be honest, some of the games at these tournaments are a complete waste of time. I personally like the invitational type of tournaments that are emerging, like the G8. Keeps the level of play much higher. The 2023 parents have a lot to learn. Funny part is to watch all the alternative clubs on LI so excited because they can actually compete with a YJ team (only at 2023). The honest truth is not that these alternative clubs are now "good", it's that the YJ team is as bad as the rest. Not up to par with the rest of the east coast. Can the talent level rise to the challenge for any LI team at 2023? T seems that the one or two girls spread out to other clubs has diluted the talent that would otherwise make YJ competitive.

Yes, the fact that some of the better girls (more than one or two) in the grade have decided to play clubs other than YJ makes things interesting. YJ still has a handful of the best in the grade, but the coaching has hurt them. This is why some girls left. looking forward to a summer that will clarify things a bit more. I agree that it is great for LI to have 3 teams that are competitive as I see it. YJA, TGB, Leg

Or instead of LI having one team that is a competitive A team -YJA,
You now have several less competitive B teams- YJA, TGB, LEG.
And are TG and YJ now being compared in the same sentence with LEG? Enough said!

Don't really see it as a bad team, nor are these "b" teams. Time will tell for that. Just more like boys side, where there are a few competitive teams. This is good for everyone.

Legacy? Stop it. How about igloo and Jesters and Elevate

Igloo, Jesters, and Elevate?.......sorry, you must have read the posts wrong......they were talking about quality clubs. To be honest, not sure how LEG got on that list either.
I would put Elevate over LEG all day long.

The problem is that these LI clubs rarely play in the same tournaments.

The traditional YJ tournament at the end of the season has been dropped, so the likelyhood of the YJA and YJB teams meeting up is gone. The teams will never meet up in the final of any regular summer tournament. The odds are just too stacked against both teams for that outcome to happen. It's not saying which team is better than the other, it's just unlikely both teams will make a run to the final game on the same weekend. It's a shame. I'd like to see that game played.

I agree, legs is a few good players away from competing with the top clubs. Great owner and coach but just don't have the talent yet. They're still building.

The only tournament in which a few of these teams compete in is the TG tournament at the end of July.

This talk of B team beating the A team is absurd. B lost their best player to another club and will not beat the A team this year. I hope we do play B so we can shut everyone up about this and move on.

For the B teams sake hopefully they don't play if they do A team by 10 goals.

YJ, Igloo, Legacy all played each other at Lax Blast last summer. Don't know about this summer.
