BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Yellow Jackets Lacrosse

They are the "real Nationals" because US Lacrosse calls them so? Funny that only YJ and TG send teams there. Pretty sure the results of all the summer tournaments are a pretty good indication as to which teams are the best.

Uh what? STEPS won the 2021 age group, and their B team made the semis and beat YJs A team in the same age group.

Only the director is a meathead. Her conduct at Live Love Lax was a disgrace

Maybe you missed it, but M&D 2021 was on the wait list and did not play in LFTC.

tournament M&D was in was a joke. All other best teams were at LFTC.

M&D Black didn't play this weekend because the directors of LFTC did not let them in and they were stuck on the wait list. M&D has only lost to 3 2021 teams ever so I'm thinking they'd have had a decent shot of winning had they been allowed in the tournament.

they would have been allowed in the tournament if they had registered on time. don't make it sound like LFTC was keeping them out for some other reason...blame the head coach or club director for not knowing the deadline.

does anyone know why M&D 2021 was not playing this weekend in LFTC? Did the directors deny them entry? did they mess up the registration? seems odd that all of the other M&D teams played except for this age group?

Well does it sound feasible that M&D was late registering the 2021 teams but somehow managed to get the other 12 teams registered on time?!? Of course that's not feasible.

So answer your own question. For whatever reason the directors did not want the 21 teams in the tournament. But on the positive side you got 6 T3 teams, 5 YJ, teams, etc....

What exactly are you talking about?

Must be that same excuse as the one they use that they don't show up at Nationals. Hmmmmmm.........vacations prior to soccer season..... yea OK.

Lol. It certainly wasn’t M&D’s choice for the 2021 team to be excluded from LFTC. No excuses needed. The tournament didn’t let them in. They thought it made more sense to all T3 to have 6 crappy teams. To let YH have 5 teams. DEWLAX had 3. And on and on.

I also found it interesting they skipped Live Love Lax, a local event with top competition and great D1 coach attendance to travel to Midlothian VA to play weaker competition.

That was an M&D Decision. LFTC and Live, Love Lax are run by the same people. It seems pretty apparent that CR does not get along with them.

Doesn’t get along with them yet all of the other M&D teams were in attendance? Nice try.

Are you implying that M&D 2021 wasn't at LFTC by their own choice? If so that's just stupid. The 2020 and 2021 Red team didn't get in either. The tournament said M&D was late registering. But that makes no sense considering all but the 2020 Red, 2021 Black and 2021 Red teams got in. The directors did no favors for him for certain reasons.

LFTC and LLL are STEPS run events. Does CR have a piece?
M&D teams were at Summer Genesis the weekend of LLL and there was good competition there.

No CR has no piece of those events. Summer Genesis was not the same weekend as LLL. M&D sent their teams to Richmond for Champions Cup the weekend of LLL which pissed off the STEPS crew. Plus M&D did not support LFTC when it started....

LLL is most definitely a YJ run event

Just look at the Tournament Directors

Your confused. They are talking about STEPS and M&D. Not YJ and the CR they are referring to is Chris Robinson, the owner/director of M&D.

I have nothing to do with M&D or LFTC and it does make sense. It is very difficult to get into tournaments. When you register you have to do it at the exact time it opens. They fill up within a minute. This happens all the time. Normally it happens to lesser known teams.

STEPS & YJ are partners in all sorts of things, including many tournaments

OK....so the excuse was..... the tourney was full.....not that it was vacation time/soccer time, or...,,we don't do that tourney we let other teams win it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Why do you care so much??...Yellow Jackets stink, and didn't even get close to winning anything anyhow!

For some reason STEPs/YJ decided to teach Chris Robinson a lesson, I'm sure they are threatened by his growing presence on the tournament scene and wanted to show him they still have some muscle. Ever wonder why there are no other LI teams at the G8 tourney? because CR says they can't play, it's that simple - follow the money!

When is Chris Robinson releasing the Mid Atlantic schedule tournament is in 2 weeks

Care????? Ha, not a chance. Seeing you tied up in knots with excuses.....for sure.

You’re doing an awful lot of whining for a loser, here’s a tip, get off of botc and have a catch with you’re daughter, at least you’ll have some good memories!

Finally, when excuses run out and you have nowhere else to go........try the old ...insult the poster. Have a great 4th and don't under cook the crabs.

What the heck are you even talking about? Excusises for what? There was no excuses for why M&D wasn’t in LFTC. The tournament didn’t let the team in. What does M&D have to make excuses for? They’ve been one of the best teams in country since they started in 5th grade. They play smart, don’t have a bunch of go to goal ball hogs and are well coached.

What’s your excuse for being such a [ChillLaxin]?

Or even better whats your excuse for the Yellow Jacket club going 0 for the tournament in Championships?

CR has been running 5-8 tournaments for years. Double dipping by charging her kids YJ registration fees and then directing her teams to her tournaments. Then on top of that, she manipulates accepted teams and the brackets her teams play in. No conflict of interest at all why all the complaints?

Truth.

CR has lost the respect of her players. We played the 2020 YJ team at G8 and they could barely field a team . Spoke with one of the parents and they said a lot of the players went to the money grab committed tournament desperate to get their names mentioned in inside lax. Seems disrespectful to not support CR at her own tournament and even worse to your uncommitted teammates . Given the fact that these kids could play in that other tournament the next two years and the other teams in the division were at full strength it just goes to show you that the “it’s all about me “ attitude of many of those YJ kids and parents is alive and well . Gross.

Thank goodness this YJ thing is over , gonna skip the final year as the coach is a terrible role model. Tournament where your uncommitted teammates are at , don’t bother going , mandatory practice ,don’t show up. Repercussions for the above is you play more than anyone else because the coach is a joke .

Gross is CR. No wonder why she lost the respect of players and her teams are doing worse than ever. She only cares about herself, so everyone else is now doing the same!

The Committed Academy is a great event. If you are looking to hold players back for your own daughters benefit you are the selfish one. Club is not HS, it is pay to play and if a player chooses not to attend a tournament due to a conflict that is their business . Committed Academy is not Under Armour in terms of competition but it is high level. There is much more to this event than playing lacrosse . If your daughter has the opportunity to attend she should go. Great experience !

YJ had another poor showing at the MAC, what's going on???

Its time to switch to Top Guns
