BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2022 - 8th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

It's the start of the Fall 2017/Summer 2018 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group

90+1 is showing 2 2022 teams for 2018 - can anyone share anything about these teams?

Was on 89+2 a few years back
Always carry big roster and do get good numbers at try outs
If you have enough for two teams make two teams
Last years 2022 89+2 team was ok ( decent B team)
With AG now running girls side
The girls program will begin to move in the correct direction

There only one way to go.. it is up since they are at the bottom of the 2022 divsion

While they are certainly not a power house like JY or TG
They are not at the bottom
They beat a number of LI teams this past summer

2 teams of great kids and great families. Orange has been together for a couple of years. The Rapid Fire team was a 21/22 team last season that is now a straight 2022.

At 90+1 the named teams are better than the colors, right? So Rapid Fire will be the A team?

As pointed out above Orange has been together for a few years
Believe they are the current A team

Anyone know anything about the Igloo girls 2022 team? Trying to explore all options and I don't see any info about the team on their website.

Not a competitive team

Disbanded Tuesday

While pointed out not a strong team
This is also the age where some kids stop playing sports all together

Liberty Lacrosse? How do they look? Any solid talent from that team?

Liberty black is solid
Red is decent

Very good club. My daughter just finished there as a 2018. Best coaching she had in travel lacrosse. They don't have parent coaches or PAL coaches. They have some very good teams.

Any thoughts on Medusa or Icon?

Who, and who ??

About same level as 90+1

Ummmmm, no. Rapid Fire was a combined 21/22 team that was thrown together. Orange is the A team. Seems like they must be expecting more girls to tryout if they are now forming a B team. Anyone have thoughts on the Rapid Fire coach?

going into 8th, I'd be careful with Parent coaches

I agree, you're basically paying for his kid to start over your's

Can anyone comment on some of these smaller/cheaper programs? Will they be able to keep teams together through 11th grade?

Who are you reffering to? The Rapid Fire coach is a parent?

Can anyone recommend a team for a girl just starting out? She's athletic but just hasn't played lacrosse .

Start with a team close to home, the larger clubs are looking for established players as there isn't time during the limited number of practices to teach how to play/catch/throw

Not sure where you're located, but you may want to check out empire Nassau, they are a second year program, practice at SUNY Farmingdale and fielding a 2022 team this year, they were mixed 22/21 last year, tryout on September 9.

told by friend who’s neighbor is a coach of older team
that YJ had close to 150 girls at tryouts for this grade
this number of course included the returning girls from the 3 current teams

i was there.. 150 sounds like a lot... but it was certainly close to or just over 100..

With the new recruiting rules in place
Do showcases make any sense at this age or are the merely a money grab ?

everyone's opinion on this will vary, I dont think there were many coaches watching 2022 games this weekend, but there may have been opportunities to get on a team/coaches radar with a good performance.

any chance to play against better competition will result in player improvement

Save your money. There was only a handful of coaches watching the 2021s yesterday at Rivalry Challenge. Most were there for the 2020s. It won't really pick up for the 2022s for a couple more years.

Under Armor tryouts last night. Any thoughts on 2022 girls making the team? Will be mostly 2021’s on a 2021/2022 combo roster. I know a few 2021girls made it last year. Will there be any 2022s to make it this year?

I was there.. I didn't love the tryout format..20 minute Full field games doesn't seem like the best way to either showcase or identify individual talent. That said, I'm sure the selected team will do well, most players I saw there could play, a few real standouts and the rest separated by the obvious like great speed, a good draw taker, a couple of great saves. a "known player" etc..
As far as 2022.. I'll wager 4 or 5 will make it.
The roster should be out around the weekend so we will all find out together..

Last year I think they took one player at each position from the younger age group, 1attack, 1 mid, 1 defense and 1 goalie. Seems about right that they will do the same this year. Saw someone on a different thread say rosters were out or at least emails were out. Can anyone verify this?

Any teams have room for an attack? Couldnt tryout last two years due to injury. Not looking for uber competitive team but just good coaching to prep for HS next year.

Been through this before with other children boys/girls but lost touch of this age group.

would probably be best to reach out directly via phone or email.. the tournament season has already begun for most clubs..
