How awesome has the 2021 class become? The talent level is breathtaking and amazing. The top 6-8 clubs have a chance at winning against each other. The parity has made this such an exciting group to watch. 1 or 2 dominant teams made this age group boring during the middle school years. I am sure that the college coaches are chomping at the bit for September 1st. Congratulate your daughters for all of their hard work and dedication. They all deserve the opportunities they will receive. Who do you consider the top 6-8? Mass Elite #1, YJ, Capital, SW, M&D in no particular order after Mass Elite. That is 5. Heros, Steps and who would be the last top 8 team? Not trolling, just curious. So walk us through the logic that has you self proclaiming undisputed #1??? Yes we saw your post after the G8 showcase., where you squeaked by some teams in a showcase, great job All the very top teams that may be considered to take top spot trade wins, and do so at the championship format tournaments. None of them are so bold to claim to be undisputed #1. All these teams go to the same tournaments all summer long, take turns wining the big tournaments. What exactly did Mass Elite do that you keep posting undisputed#1? I have no time for Mass Elite after their antics last year at Capital Cup. B team was losing to us at halftime in the semifinals and they brought down a bunch A team girls for the second half. Classy. Fortunately, they lost the finals...

Mass Elite would fall at the bottom of the top 10 simply because they have won NOTHING this year, they did have a decent record in SHOWCASES. We all know that the top clubs played all their girls evenly despite the scores! The idea of the showcases is to exactly as the name says, showcase your players to the coaches in attendance. Apparently Mass Elite took them as their chance to attempt to claim the top spot. They should have attended the Mid Atlantic Summer Club Championship where the top teams were playing to win! But they did not show up! I’m sure they will post some excuse as to why! Our club, YJ absolutely played our girls evenly in the showcases as to get every girl in front of the coaches. If anyone says different, they simply just do not know. Good luck to everyone this coming September! There is plenty of room for everyone to play in today’s college game! It is only fair to base any rankings off of head to head results. Mass Elite beat everyone in their bracket at G8. Have YJ, M&D, SW, Heros, Capital or Steps beaten them this summer? Better question is why doesn't Mass Elite play in Lax for the Cure or Mid-Atlantic? They only play in a showcase here or there.

The rest of it is non-sense, always has been....

How do the Long Island teams rate in the 2021 age group - have a friend who is looking to take her daughter to tryouts. Doesn't want to go to YJ - what are next best 3 or 4 options?

I saw Elevate do the same thing this summer. Pathetic. All so the Director can post a pic with the T-shirt on Social Media! Made the girls who didnt play feel really good.

I witness some great “A” level teams, “B” level not so much. Difference between the 2 organizations is their directors. Elevate’s, while intense, is actually a very caring/fair individual. Conversely, Liberty’s director is a “tyrant, win all or nothing lack of integrity” individual. What ever happened to the “spirit of the game”?

Elevate doesn't care about your daughter. You couldn't be more wrong! They care about your money! The only thing Elevate is better at is marketing. Liberty has former women lacrosse players coaching and running their club while Elevate has a former businessman and if you don't think that is true you are sorely mistaken and I don't have a daughter playing on either club and have no skin in the game.

I’m saying that instead of being snarky toward Elevate. Try being positive about your own club. And no Elevate wasn’t in Maine but thanks for proving why people would do well to avoid your club

True - part of the recruiting process are the relationships club coaches have with college coaches. DG has those relationships from the time she has spent playing and coaching in womens lacrosse. That is something Elevate clearly does not have as they do not have a director [ChillLaxin] has ever played or coached a womens game at any college level. So yes, those are good relationships to have.

Mass Elite typically plays in Live Love Lax. They got shut out this year and did the Champions Cup instead Live love lax is also a showcase. Question was why don't they play in Lax for the Cure or MidAtlantic which are championship formats and coaches play to win. Don't come on here bragging about winning showcase games saying Mass Elite is the clear #1 2021 team in the country when they only play showcases.

Sorry I misspoke. They did Live Love Lax (that’s the one in November) but not Lax for the Cure (in June). They typically do Lax for the Cure but got shut out this year and did Champions Cup instead. I’m not sure I agree with your premise that only winning championship formats counts and teams don’t play to win in showcase tournaments. But nonetheless it was just circumstantial that the team didn’t play in Lax for the Cure this year.

In championship tournaments playing time isn't equal and the better girls play more.

Eh. So then you can make the argument that their team is stronger all around if they win with all the girls playing equal time.

Eh. So then you can make the argument that their team is stronger all around if they win with all the girls playing equal time. Here is what I know. Based on the many years of doing battle with all the top ten teams, there are 3 maybe 4 teams that I know nearly all the people from all these teams would likely deem as the best. Yes there would be some variation on which team is the best and many opinions, But no one would vote for Mass Elite. Except of course this person on here self proclaiming Mass Elite as clear cut undisputed #1. Plus I bet you it is one parent and surely not the entire team who think this. I’m sure the other parents must be embarrassed at this ridiculous claim. T

Who beat Mass Elite this summer?
The best measure of a high quality club team is a showcase where everyone plays equally. The top 2-3 teams show little to no drop off when they sub and their players are largely interchangeable. I would question my child’s place on the team is she was part of the group that caused the team to lose in a showcase format. Do the top teams even have girls that don’t play or play sparingly?

^^Yes exactly.
But Mass Elite also is the top girls overall for the state, second I guess to Laxachusetts. All the top talent in eastern MA is concentrated in one club. In Maryland and Long Island, there’s 4-5 (more?) very high quality clubs. For a big metro area where lacrosse is strongly on the rise, that’s a big advantage to ME.

All these teams have tiers of girls. Showcases every girl plays at least half of each game. In championship tournaments the coaches try to even things out over the weekend and the girls at the bottom of the roster will start and play a lot in the games against weaker teams while the better players sit.
