Who provides the training, coaching, organization that will help her get to the next level. By the way did any of you check out what Igloo put together for Nov 5th. 15 Top Division 1 head Coaches will be here on the Island including Shannon Smith. Look at this list of Head Coaches; might have to sign up for this. Coaches Committed So Far: Maryland – Cathy Reese Hopkins – Janine Tucker Stony Brook – Joe Spallina Syracuse – Gary Gait Oregon – Katrina Dowd Yale – Erica Lagrow Georgetown – Ricky Fried Florida – Amanda O’Leary Notre Dame – Christine Halfpenny Stanford – Amy Bokker Penn State – Missy Doherty Loyola – Jen Adams Dartmouth – Danielle Spencer Hofstra – Shannon Smith UPENN – Karin Brower Corbett Still think the 95% of the better players will all be down in MD. Just a list from one of the fall ball tournaments. American University Army West Point Averett University Bard College Benedictine College Binghamton University Boston College Bowdoin College Brockport Brown University Cal Berkeley Campbell University Central Michigan Coastal Carolina Colgate University College of the Holy Cross Cornell University Dartmouth College Davidson College Denison University DeSales University Dickinson College Drexel University Duke University Duquesne University East Carolina University Elon University Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Fairfield University Florida Southern College Fresno State Furman University Gardner-Webb University Georgetown University Gettysburg College Grand Valley State University Harvard University High Point University Hofstra University Iona College Ithaca College James Madison University Johns Hopkins University Kean University Kennesaw State University La Salle Lafayette College Liberty University LIU Post Lock Haven University Lynchburg College Manhattan College Marist College Marquette University Mars Hill University McDaniel College Mercer University Merrimack College Messiah College Middlebury College Monmouth University Mount Saint Mary’s Muhlenberg College Northern Michigan University Ohio Northern University Pace University Penn State University Quinnipiac University Roanoke College Rutgers University Sacred Heart University Saint Francis University Saint Leo Salisbury University Seton Hill University Shenandoah University Shepherd University Shippensburg University Smith College St. Thomas Aquinas Stetson University Stevenson University Stony Brook University Temple University The Catholic University of America Towson University UConn UMass Lowell UMass-Amherst UMBC University of Cincinnati University of Colorado University of Colorado Boulder University of Delaware University of Denver University of Florida University of Louisville University of Mary Washington University of Maryland University of Michigan University of Notre Dame University of Pennsylvania University of Richmond University of Rochester University of Southern California University of Tampa University of Vermont University of Virginia VCU Virginia Tech Wagner College Washington and Lee University Wellesley College William Peace University Wingate University Wofford College Yale [lacrosse] College of PA Young Harris College Get this off the TG thread! Nobody cares about this crappy overpriced "camp," "showcase" or whatever else you want to call it. No good players will be there so why would anyone spend that kind of money unless they are a total fool. Back to TG related business please! Your club director and coach cares enough to put her name on it and take their money - just like she takes yours! Last I knew, college coaches go to recruiting events, especially Those close to home, why not? Travel lacrosse is a business last I knew, and as long as they are delivering the product they advertised for the money charged, why would you have a problem with that? TG has lived up to all the expectations we've had for the organization, why do you have a problem with that? Did your daughter sit on the bench this year?

Looking to make a change from another well known club and are hoping for the Black team, but I realize that it is sometimes hard to break onto a top team. The tryouts consist of stations and scrimmages. The 23 black team is the club's top team

She is the Hofstra coach, and as long as she is the coach there, she can't speak for you. Even though that is probably a good thing, who will speak for you at that organization?

Nobody that's who, do your own camps and clinics at the schools you're interested in and you will be much better off. Club influence is over with the new recruiting rules. The faster you people all start to realize that the tables have turned the better - the clubs need you ($$$) more than you need them in this new world. PS - word is college coaches are growing very tired of BS and his act anyway and SS is only about helping SS

We got an email, with SS listed as coach...was wondering if she was also coaching other teams. It's a valid concern. You really love the word troll. Parents like you defending TG really make the organization look appealing.

Might be better off having her as your "college" girl coach because she will likely be at your early season practices, unlike many of the other college girl coaches whom you wont meet until the first tourn. in June. TG is still seeking some girls to coach for next summer.

The cost of TG will be comparable to other clubs that are on par with the white the team, the savings will be that you won't spend as much on travel/hotels at another club.

Anonymous Unregistered A	They'll be joining your daughter on the YJ C team, leaving because they rode the bench [/quote] Why does it have to be because they rode the bench or will join a C team elsewhere? Pretty ironic that a middle schooler left TG recently, joined YJ, and committed to a top college before even playing a game for them. Did she ride the bench? I think not! This program's isolation plays and go to goal mentality wears thin when they face a backer D starting in 9th grade. TG is a good program, but their act wears thin real fast.

There was an issue with AS working with a college girl, so they can now only have him working with family members as co-coaches, thus using his HS age (17 yr old) cousin as his assistant.

Isn't he a director and 7 years older than some of these college girls. May show some character flaws that that may be concerning that you seem quick to casually brush aside.

You're making your own story up. Andrew has no interest in girls with stars in their eyes, doesn't need too. Seems like you are just trying to create drama! Worry about your own daughter and why she sits on the bench.
