What makes you think she is the top sophomore in the country other than your own ignorant opinion

That is so far over the line....we all joke around, but a new low that has just been set

Event was held for a good cause
Admire what TC was trying to do
But the event was cause for concern in itself
Cr basicly telling him who would play who
To safe guard her rep and not get smashed by BBP
8th grade teams playing true varsity teams
Hope they raised a good chunk of change for eating disorders after all that is what the day was for
But
It was a poorly run to say the least

Another CR end run Scam

Paying Coaches???? Most volunteer. Mo money Mo money

West Hampton has sunk to a new low.

The [lacrosse] who writes Thug Ball every ten seconds and the West Hampton posting (censored) are probably the same person and whats the most pathetic is he believes he knows who responds abusing his wife and kid and yet is still too much of a coward to say something face to face. As far as a new involving thug balls daughter probably not as the guy is obviously a real loser but they should leave his daughter out of it

Agree, and we need to collectively ignore his posts and just move the thread along bypassing anytime he posts. He will eventually get bored and go somewhere else.

What a racket she has. She controls most of the tournament circuit. She puts her teams in and makes them pay full price. . What a double dip

And there is never any accounting of what is donated just a portion of the proceeds will be donated. We are all suckers

You censored the curse but allowed the vile thing this [lacrosse] said about a child? Get your [lacrosse] together.

Long Island is a cess pool. Thank god I don't live there. You people are disgraceful

Actually mostly c and d, some from B that will be moving down to c next year and a few A and B

Why would YJ hand out Tshirts they don't even run this tourney . They support the event by sending teams. Miller Place coach owns and runs the tourney himself. Why don't you ask him!!

Thug ball. Leaders in red cards every tournament.

I admire your persistence, and I also agree with you.

TC works for CR
And she has her hands in everthjng YJ related even when it is not her event
It is
She dictates what games will be played
Did her teams even bring raffle baskets as designated on flyer
For the most part everyone is over her and the company she keeps

You are so desperate to have people hate CR its unhealthy. So your kid got put on a low level team just move on. It was a 7 on 7 fundraiser calm down ,SS runs 7 on 7 fundraisers at Hofstra all the time who cares.

Thug ball rots from the white hair down👳🏼‍♀️

what has happened to the Liberty program? they no longer have 2 teams for 2019, 2020 nor 2021. can only field one team per grade. all other comparable programs have 2 teams. Have they dropped that much or have parents had enough of the program and its director?

Mostly A and B on the 2021 team. Not sure about the other ages[/quote

2021 has 2 Blue players the rest are from B,C,D

You can ask the YJ girls that tried out!

Probably a combination plus there are more Nassau based clubs to choose from. Liberty B teams were never strong and usually filled with low level Manhasset kids hoping to stay in good graces with the varsity coach but have figured out it doesn’t matter.

Are there any 2020's or 2021's going to these 7v7, 5v5 and 4v4 that the colleges are hosting this fall and early winter, is this organized through YJ, a few of my daughter's teammates are going, did I miss an email? Someone said some younger girls got offers and/or got noticed at these before the rules changed, are they still used to recruit?

You didnt miss an email. You were not included. Wannabe Daddy Coaches will do or say anything to try and get their kid an advantage. Back stabbing and the secret society is just a way of life at all these clubs. If your not on the right side of it , it sucks. Get used to it. Believe me, I was shocked when we went through it.

1. Money grab
2. Yes they are looking at kids to recruit. bending the rules legally
3. Sadly yet another payout that the average to above average kid has to take part in to realize their parents dream for them to play in college. No longer is the summer circuit enough. Off season Fall and camps are a necessary evil. Good thing parents can pick up 2nd incomes with holiday seasonal jobs starting

You can always sign up your daughter to play on a "house team" - maybe the team she is assigned will be less ball hogs than her teammates

It's also pretty obvious at these money-grabs which girls they are legitimately watching. Think about it people - there are three maybe four coaches on the staff. How are they watching all the games? Unless you go with your "club team" or high school team and someone is already on their radar - you'll be lucky to see the coaches. I've also noticed that if your house team ends up playing one of their commits teams - then there is a chance to be seen.

When do tournaments get posted for the younger age groups?

Your coach or director could probably answer better than anybody on here.

safe bet you are playing in all the CR run events

Bingo

As opposed to the topgun tournament where they invite and get "some" teams from Maryland to come, only to find out they sent the black teams out of state to play real tournaments. So I will agree that the tournaments YJ ran on the island sucked, just like the Hofstra, but some of the off island tournaments are the best out there. By far the best quality tournaments over the last several years has been the mid Atlantic series, both spring and fall, run by CR, no not the YJ CR, as well as the G8, and yes CR of YJ on that one.

CR is more powerful and richer than 90% of college coaches. She controls the largest club and the biggest tournament circuit. At her peak I think she had her hands in on 8 tournaments a year. My problem is its a double tax. She charges to play YJ's and then she charges full price to her teams to play in her tournaments and nobody has a choice. The lacrosse model is and remains broken. US Lax is a joke. The clubs run the college coaches and the sport

not anymore, with the new recruiting rules the colleges are running camps/clinics all year round, raking in all sorts of cash and making the clubs much less relevant. If you want to get a good look that's the way to go, you can be the greatest player in the world and play on a team of ball hogs and never get noticed at a tournament, but that won't happen at a camp/clinic, for better or worse the college coaches get a real good look at you. Playing club ball before 7th-8th grade has now become nothing more than a reason for mom and dad to brag to friends and family, there is no value. Find Danowski or Starsia utube video where they say as much

the only thing CR controls is everyone who is buying what she's selling

It is not a double tax. Her per team fee is comparable to the other major tournaments. She collects vs. another tournament sponsor, no more and no less. The YJ commitment and tournament fees are very reasonable to comparable clubs and less than most.

But now the kids are locked in until 12th grade with the club since the verba'ls don't start until 11th. I know many didn't drop out before after they verballed in 8th, 9yh & 10th but now they have to stay because of verbal delay. The clubs didn't suffer one bit but now the college coaches are getting in on the money train with camps and clinics. Keeps getting more expensive.

I have kids about 12 years apart. The first one started club in 6th grade and just played summer with maybe a local camp. The current one started in 1st grade, plays summers, plays fall, does privates and clinics and now is doing college camps and clinics. Its crazy the extra time and money required to have the same result as the first. And the scary thing is the lacrosse isn't noticeably better

The rule change should definitely help with parents/players not feeling like they have to play lacrosse year round in order to be recruited. My 2020 daughter actually did not play club lacrosse until summer before 7th grade, and verbally committed in 9th grade. Before our summers were filled with lacrosse (which she would have no other way at this point), they involved swim team, just being a kid, and some camps here and there that were rec type camps for different sports or not sports related. We don't live on Long Island so I'm not too familiar with how club lax works there, but if kids need to start playing for a club in elementary school in order to secure a spot, then I'd look for a different club.

For what it's worth, my daughter seemed to get the most exposure and college coach interest from playing in tournaments with her club team. Camps/clinics seem worthwhile at schools a player has a very strong interest in, and at schools where the player is already on the coachs' radar and will be in a group they are watching closely. That was our experience at least.

I agree that it is hard to notice a difference over the years. But the lacrosse is in fact better. There is definitely an overall increase in the number of talented girls, but the girls are spread out over a much larger number of clubs. So the teams still look about the same, but I definitely see the difference when all that talent gets rounded up. For instance, the talent showing up at the college camps is miles deeper and the all star stuff like UA the talent depth is far superior than yesteryear. The top schools like Md and NC still get top girls and look only marginally better than years past. I also think that the game has also changed over the last 10-15 years, and that the top players now are much better (overall) than they used to be and the competition is greatly better in D1.
