This is true, a HS All-American YJ player who trains my daughter just started at a big Lax school. She is getting 25%.

My D seems to be leaning more towards the southern schools, does Wave get exposure to them? I'm wondering because we've heard that a lot of those programs don't venture to much far north of Maryland. In that case - does Wave at least compete in the Maryland tournaments and how do they do? Will we have to kick out more cash for all those camps down there so that she gets the looks later on if she were to play for Wave or those other clubs. The clubs I'm referring to are the ones that I don't see many parents complaining about the constant travel down the turnpike. It's easy enough to read between the lines - yes, it's a big expense time and money-wise, but so is hitting a lot of those camps.

People, you started this thread of NOT YJ, TG or Liberty and the last 2 pages of posts are about YJ. Stay pure to this site and enjoy your ride away from this banter

Maybe she wasn't that good...

HS All American means nothing to these coaches as they know politics are a big part of the process. If they are getting 25 % of total cost of attendance that's not bad but definitely not high on their future coaches list . Their top recruits get 50 -75 of cost of attendance as freshman . I have been involved in many different players of mine recruitments to varying degrees .

Started 4 years in HS and for a top YJ blue team, also a leading points girl, think that makes her good? Maybe because she is at a top 5 program.

Or maybe YJ girls aren't considered top recruits.

Not saying she is not good just not a hi priority at the school she is heading to

I agree very well said. Although the YJ parents will think your crazy because its not about FUN, its about spending everyday talking and thinking about what D1 program your 11-12 year old will be playing for. Assuming she doesn't have breakdown over the next 5 years. Or heaven forbid play D2.

Getting 25 percent and you say shes not that good. Genius do you know how many girls are on a D1 team and how many scholarships are allowed under NCAA rules. If your playing D1 and getting anything you are good and should be proud. You probably never opened a college savings account because you are just waiting for colleges to bang down your door. Just curious what was your sport and what level did you play at superstar.

Thank you!!!

Ye
Yes, thank you. I will try this again and PLEASE take YJ talk elsewhere. This was a prior response that still received no response bc this thread was hijacked to talk about YJ.

I looked at the 2 programs (PT and Westchester elite) and while they appear to be excellent they don't start until 4th and I think 6th grade grade. I am not interested with the "travel" aspect of the game right rather now just teaching and fostering the love of the game but if my daughter needs to travel we can figure that out. I looked at programs that have for 2027 and in Westchester came up with Tristate Team 91, 3D Tristate and House of Sports. Does anyone have any knowledge as to the instruction at young ages and these programs in general? thank you

Listen, DK isn't a girls lacrosse coach, he is a marketing expert. If he can market Elevate by telling parents "look where I got these kids recruited" even though he had NO role in that process, he will use it to his advantage. Elevate is a marketing machine, all smoke and mirrors. Year-round PAL club!

I'm looking forward to heading down to Maryland this weekend and seeing how Elevate 2019 stacks up to Liberty and YJ.

Good for you. Have a great time. Try the crab........... but really, who cares what you're looking forward to?

I guess in your haste to put someone down or in attempting to make someone else look bad, you missed the sarcasm in their post about driving DOWN from Long Island TO Maryland - to play two Long Island teams.

I am the furthest thing from DK fan...and I think he is the lowest form of pond scum as a biz man....and wouldn't trust him anywhere near my checkbook or wallet....BUT..he knows lax and can teach the sport--players do get better playing for him.....just that all of the baggage colors folks view of him...IMHO...

Elevate got crushed by Liberty this weekend. That same Liberty team also took down the top Skywalker team. How did Elevate do against YJ, I didn't see that game. Overall Elevate had a tough weekend, I saw their top 2020 team (Blue) went 0-3 on Saturday. My daughter had to leave after the Satuday games, how did Sunday go?

Sunday was pretty well rained out after the first set of games. Liberty 2019 did do well this weekend - they looked good against sky walkers and TE. They just could not seem to figure out the heros team. That was an ugly loss.

Elevate losing to liberty 9-5 is getting crushed?

Do your homework...25% at a D1 Program is pretty much what they give. 40 girls / 12 scholarships.

PrimeTime tourney in MD was a very nice tournament..ton of college coaches and above average competition...2020 class was real tough...saw a lot of talent and very well run....

Elevate lost to Liberty at least 10 or 11 - 5. They had at least twice as many goals, the score is available online and the score wasnt indicative of how bad Elevate lost. Elevate will be happy to head back to New England for their tournaments once the summer starts!

Daughter plays for Elevate, first year. It was a tough weekend for Elevate playing strong teams. My daughters team lost 20-2 and that wasn't much fun and a bunch of other teams got blown out as well. All of the elevate age groups struggled this weekend. I know the 2020 Blue team went 0-3 on Saturday. Honestly, we had joined Elevate because I heard they play less competitive tournaments and usually against lower competition which is what we were looking for. I hope this weekend was not representative of what we will see all summer. My daughter joined travel lax for fun, not to be recruited. I am just hoping the other tournaments are more fun than this past weekend!

20-25% at the top lacrosse programs is it folks and some get less...unless you are a complete freak...maybe they would give 1 - 50%..lower ranked D1 will open their purses for a stud....do the math 12 scholarships being whacked up into pieces... 3 per class...not a lot off wood

The best girls are getting 60-70% FACT!

Ah, another satisfied DK customer...smoke/mirrors and the best tailgate tents....DK working his magic...he should be on TV selling on an infomercial....run for your life before the next payment is due!!!

Please share which fully funded programs these are.

Not if they have to play Mass Elite.

Elevate 2020 Blue (1-3 this weekend) did just play Mass Elite at Presidents Cup and lost badly. However, Liberty Black 2019 also played Mass Elite and won by 4 goals. Elevate 2020 continues to struggle.

Looks like that Liberty 2019 team matches up nicely with the top dogs.

Honestly you are clueless , virtually every top program has girls in each year who get 75 % ( usually their top kid ) . If your kid is getting less than 50 than they were not a top priority for that team .If you want to know what programs just look at essentially all the top 10 teams .

YJ parent here. At least elevate blue 2020 played big time programs in Florida. Did u see the joke of a schedule 2020 YJ played. Plus they struggled to a 2-1-1 record

It's a showcase shouldn't be playing to win

You are obviously not a YJ parent, if you were you would know that the committed kids rarely go to this tournament so when a combo of YJ team 1/2/3 go to a tournament and play skywalkers and teams of that caliber it makes sense.
