Here is how crazy parents are getting...I was at a 8th grade LISGYLL game today and a parent from one of the teams had a scorebook in the crowd and he was taking stats for the game and broadcasting it to everyone in the stands. If your are going to take stats do everyone in the stands a favor and just take them for your own daughter and save everyone around you from having to hear the play by play. We are watching the game and can see it happening live. Why would you be recording stats for a 8th grade game that nobody cares about other than the people at the game?

Isn't LISGYLL just glorified PAL? Who cares, all the good 8th graders are playing varsity anyway.

No 8th graders playing varsity in Garden City, Manhasset, West Islip and any good program for that matter. All the crappy programs are playing 8th graders and if you have 3-4 9th graders starting on your team you're probably in a crappy program as well

So right there is your problem, parents think kids are so talented because they play for 2021 TG, which is not a good barometer of where the kids stand in the grand scheme of LI lax, not hard to stand out with lack of talent. False sense of entitlement.

The 8 grade teams main problem is that they do not play as a team.

Sorry but going 1-5 (one win could have been a forfeit)in the crappy league is not attributed to just not playing as a team. They had no talent and the only thing worse was the loadmouth dads yelling at their kids and telling their wives to shut up.

If it were even true, that is something they should keep to themselves. They could get Spallina into a lot of trouble and ruin a rising program. Not smart.

Depends when offers were made, and if they accepted before the rule change. Some families including 2020's and 2021's have sat on offers from before the rule change (from other schools, no knowledge of Stony Brook's practices on who and what ages received offers already). Even if an offer was made and accepted, who is to say it will be honored anyway, and who is to say that a kid can't attend a school and go out for a team without a scholarship. I bet many of the kids at Stony Brook, Albany and other state schools receive very little Athletic Aide because coaches know that the schools are already way cheaper than anywhere else the kid can go and play. Coaches know the rules and wont risk them for 8th graders or any graders for that matter, no matter how good they are or aren't. Not a whole lot of scholarship money at stake for the SUNY schools anyway so who cares.

Well, these post I'm reading are bizarre. I have been around HS sports for 30 years and it seems like parents are losing track that their kids want to play and have fun. You have to realize 10-20% of your child grade goes on to play college sports. You parents are in competition with each other and thats the gas on the fire for your programs. I know many of HS coaches Smith East, West, MC, Sachems, WI, NP, Lindenhurst, Babylon and may more all good people with great intentions. For you dads find a hobby!!!!!

SOME DADS' HOBBIES ARE THEIR KIDS!!!
Imagine a dad being able to help guide his child through many of the valuable life lessons that today's adolescents are not learning at their schools by their educators and coaches.
Competitive Sports and academics are FUN and fantastic ways to teach kids about:
-setting goals, then working hard to achieve them.
-learning there are no shortcuts to success.
-Time + Energy + Willingness can lead to success.
-knowing where your strengths and weaknesses lie and understanding how to make your weaknesses your strengths.
-learning about good nutrition and diet and recognizing that a healthy body and mind are important
-learning to be a good leader (and follower)
-becoming a "coachable" player, "teachable" student, "respected" teammate
-learning to control your emotions while being able to push to your own personal limits
-understanding that success requires sacrifice
-learning that life isn't always fair
-understanding that no one is perfect (parent or child), so mistakes will undoubtedly be made and that is ok. Learn from them.
MOST OF ALL: recognizing that there will always be those in life who are not as determined to put in the same hard work that you are in order to achieve your personal goals and many of those same jealous people (and their children) will undoubtedly try to make-up for their lack of "whatever", by "ANONYMOUSLY" knocking you down and telling you that they know what's best for you. Really? It's sad actually...
I guess it's an easier way for them to feel better about themselves because they are just not courageous or motivated enough to do the hard work.

I suggest that you snowflakes give up on the "fake news" and go back to your safe spaces because...

Sorry you feel that way. It was nice of you however, to prove the previous poster's point for him/her.
Here is a nicely written article that I found with a simple google search. There are likely many more great reads but this one seems to hit the gist of it. Please check it out if you get a chance. Your kids will thank you.

Elevate 2021 played the top MD teams and went undefeated! This is a very strong group from Long Island. Not sure there will be a whole lot of competition this summer. Hoping there will be more competition in MA this summer!

Noticed YJA is duckiing all the top teams this coming weekend? Driving all the way to PA to play Liberty? No Hereos, SW or M&D? I get it's a showcase but is CR that insecure about this age group? At least we know where the college coaches won't be standing.
