You could join a local town, PAL-type team, but for the clubs that travel, i don't think so. You would probably be scheduled to play many of the same local and out of state tournaments, and possibly even be scheduled to play against the other team. I doubt the coaches/clubs would even agree to it even if it were possible since they each have their own plays and strategies. Not to mention your expenses, travel, and time commitments would be a lot!

LOL! Best team in the country because YJs finally beat the SW 2015 Blue at a showcase where the intent is to expose all the girls to coaches not necessarily win? Hey JA - did you forget that the YJ 2015 blue (team 1) accumulated an 0-2 record this past summer against M & D 2015 Black in 2 different play-off format tournaments? Although you may want to forget or hide this fact, many of us remember watching your YJ 2015 Blue (team 1) struggle all the way to the end against the Top Gun 2015 Black team only to win by one goal and then get completely destroyed by M & D 2015 Black 6-2 in the semi finals at the National Draw. Although, YJs should be proud of their standing, they're certainly not the best club team in the country. Joseph Gerbels himself would have recruited some of you YJ parents for your ability to create new realities from thin air. BTW, SW 2015 Blue has 7 VCs to date, 4 to Florida, 2 to North Carolina and 1 to Johns Hopkins. Good luck to all of you next season.

I heard that there were several m&d 2014's that came over to play in that game after they lost the semi's to yj 2014.

Yes but would not recommend ,lots of conflicts and eventually one or both teams will get tired of it

Somehow I'm sure the clubs could care less. They get the money, if kid misses tourny due to conflict it equals more playing time for rest of team oon an already over loaded roster.

Point is, next year, the club will get the same amount of money from some other kid who actually shows-up for all practices and tourneys. Pick the best club team you're kid can make and stick to it, if you have a bunch of extra time, spend it working on speed, strength and agility. Most coaches will sacrafice some stick skills for speed and athleticism simply because the cieling's higher for athletes.

Let's not forget SW in their "intent to expose all girls to coaches not necessarily win" managed to rack up 3 yellow cards. Classy.

You ought to be careful on this one. So your team managed to get through one game w/o a yellow card, that does not erase history, if you are calling SW classless for 3 cards in a game and absolve YJ based on one game you are surely short sighted. Any game w/o cards is great, good going. String a few together or most of a season to truely show a change of culture before you start call other teams classless.

congratulations to the skywalkers girls who are already vc'd they are a very good team. Lets all remember though that as the girls begin to commit to colleges, they will be playing together as a team and it would be a much easier transition for everyone if the parents would show more respect towards each other on this site and on the fields and try complimenting each other more rather than creating animosity. one day the sw, tg, and yj girls are going to be playing together and will be best of friends and the parents will be cheering them on together and hopefully celebrating together!
Very Good post! There is no reason these kids should be going to college with any negativity about their future teamates. I am sure they are all hard working great kids!

Ok JA then y doesn't CR have them posted and y aren't they showing on lax power!!! Get a grip on life and put down that bottle of BS your drinking!!

Why does it bother you that there are some 15's with verbal commitments? Lax power won't post the 15's untill next year. Why don't you call the coaches from those schools and ask if you are so interested JA!!

you are so clueless and someone sounds jelous!

A verbal isnt worth the squat from either side. No money could have been discussed, grades arent available, if they find someone better you are out, and maybe you figure out that school is about academics and not lacrosse and your daugter decides to go to a school more appropriate to career path

Schools do take back verbals either they over commit or you can't make the grades. It happens ALL the time!!!!

I have been through the process and it happened to my daughter who on my opinion is better off and happy where she is playing. So don't think that book is closed when you verbal it does happen.

Every verbal has the amount of scholarship associate with it! You obviously have not been through the process an you should't give people misinformation.

A verbal still keeps the advantage on the schools side. They hope you stop looking around and then they buy some time to see if you daughter actually is the perfect fit at a latter date. There is no way they know their true scholorship position a few years out.

No, it does not happen all the time - as a matter of fact, a rescinded verbal agreement is so rare that new coaches coming into a program will honor commitments made by the prior coaching staff.

Rarely will grades result in an issue with most mid-tier Division I programs. Often times, the grade transcript will be prequalified even during sophomore year. The grades combined with the expected course load (AP, Honors) will yield a fairly accurate academic picture. Board scores can throw the process off course, but generally there is some flexibility among the mid-tier schools on this point.

That said, top academic schools (Top 40 according to US News and World Reports) will require more stringent academic standards and those guidelines will be substantially less flexible for all but the very top recruits in a given year.

BOTC would welcome the name of the institution which withdrew their verbal agreement with your daughter. We suspect that there was more involved that just a grade situation and would therefore welcome slightly more information.

It's not necessarily because were blue collar or white collar. Blue collar in some parts of the country is poverty level and in some parts its middle class. Its just that on long island the cost of living is so high when you make 150k your considered blue collar. Our kids are privelaged just because we live here period. Forget sports, in most parts of the country you have to send your kids to private school just to get a decent education,,,whereas on long island we have top 100 nationally rated schools and there public. Trust me we pay for it and we take pride in our ability to give are kids what we do. Ny in general runs mental, work ethic, and drive rings around most states. These southern teams just get mad because they create these tourny's and then we just come in and sweep em. Dont hate just train year round, work hard and long hours and maybe just maybe, youll be lucky enough to be rated as a long island blue collar parent. Until then, just spew your hatefull sh** and we'll be at practice.
