That's a lot of money for some film of random kids playing. Better off filming actual club games. The last 2 years Nike 120 and UA 150 have struggled to fill the rosters. They just don't make sense anymore.

in a normal year that is true, but this is anything but a normal year.

They can’t be struggling to fill rosters when there are girls waitlisted (past & present) & don’t make it on a roster.

Unless you're a parent from Mt. Sinai, why does anyone care what the girls are doing? Is it because you genuinely are concerned for their well being? Or is it sour grapes that your daughter isn't practicing? Why would anyone call Section 11 on the coach?

Exactly. Not from MS but wouldnt be worried about what they were doing, when, or how. MYOB. Sounds like these folks are just jealous that their coaches aren't holding a practice. LI-CDC-lax edition smdh

UA 150 doesn't have the draw as NIKE 120 but if your kid was selected to go I would do either at this point especially if you are a 22... Nothing is happening this summer as far as tournaments

Regular Under Armour is scheduled for August 6-9. That will be the most important event of the summer. The others are a waste of time and money unless you're hoping to play lower level D1 or D2. LI tryout dates will be announced next week

Do you really think the Under Armour tournament will happen this year with States all under different guidelines and so many Region tryout dates still TBD? My daughter participated last year and it was a terrific tournament but don’t see how they can manage it this year with so many different guidelines.

100% most important event every summer and even more important than most years with the lack of tourneys.
Last year the command tryout had about 150 field players and 10 goalies. The numbers should be even bigger this year. Got to help your chances if you play for the blue and yellow

I think it’s going to happen unless there is a drastic increase in COVID cases. NY has it the worst so maybe they will do a virtual tryout? Most regions have already announced tryout dates. Strange that the didn’t announce the rosters for the senior game yet?? We’ll see

Only a few regions actually really matter...

do you have a link for the Nike120?

Just google it
It falls on one of the UA days.
It’s invitational

August 5 & 6...Wednesday and Thursday

The little secret clubs are keeping from you is that there will be no coaches at any of these tournaments. The recruiting dead period as been extended until July 31 by the NCAA which does not allow a college coach to watch/evaluate a player in person. Then there is a quiet period from 8/6-8/12 which coaches still can not watch/evaluate a player in person. Then there is another dead period from 8/13-8/31. The only days coaches are able to be at a tournament are 8/1-8/5 this season. Good luck!

everyone already knows this

Why are any high school teams practicing? HS teams won't play until next spring. Club teams I can understand trying to practice, because they might play this summer.

She was invited, the cost of the event is $51.. for the Parisi school testing and 3 refereed games.. I'll try to split the cost of the game film with a few other of her teammates and maybe get a few highlights to add to the reel.. Its far from an arm & leg.

G8 is back on! Disappointing to see that film is not included for athletes since coaches cannot be there. Sure the coaches can get it, but kids need highlight video right now. Always about the money!

Highlight video is great as an introduction and getting on a program's radar, but a coach seriously recruiting a player will want to see full game film. Bring a camera and film your own, use team high school film for a highlight video, or purchase the game film package if your kid played well.

This kid will be a force.. Will be exciting to watch!

she better be with all the hype she gets from US Lacrosse and Inside Lacrosse. She better break every UNC record and win 4 straight national championships.

She played lacrosse at Florida HS. The talented LI/MD girls would have similar or better stats. Not saying she not a good player but really not any better than any of the other top girls. I've seen her play, and it really was nothing special. Not sure why she's being put on a pedestal??

??? Best 2020 by far. Not even a discussion. So what if she played in Florida. From what i've heard played every top ranked team in the country in HS and club and she has dominated at every level including as a high school kid on the U19 team. I'm from Long Island and don't know the kid, but have seen her play there isn't even a close second in the 2020 class.

Lol!! That’s a joke right? And did you actually bring up the U19 team??? They actually play nobody. She gets press because her family is connected and she is not from a traditional hotbed. Everyone knows it! Seems like a sweet kid, but please stop with crowning her the greatest, lots of players just like her! My 8th grade daughter would score 100 pts playing at a Florida HS!

They got smoked by McDonogh last year. Just saying

I wish her well at Carolina. She looks like a sweet kid - big smile.

What are the dates for UA this year?

Neverary 1st

August 6-9. Hotel Booked!

There is a tournament happening in Maryland in 3 weeks. So no reason to think UA won't happen

The issue for US is not having the tournament in Maryland it will be scheduling the "tryouts" across the country. Upstate NY has been changed 3x so far and is currently listed as TBD

No way a publicly traded company puts there name on a tournament with what's going on.

You obviously are no friend of this kid. To her credit, she seems to be an extremely hard worker and has improved dramatically from when she was a YJ. That said will be interesting to watch her play in college. She will be coming onto a very stacked attack where just about any other attack player would be concerned about playing time let alone being the star. Other than Florida high school lacrosse she has essentially been the oldest player on the field which will not be the case again for some time. She is very well trained with a lot of stick skills but not sure with her average speed and lack of size how that will translate to college. To her benefit, she will not be the top priority of any defense and most likely will not even be in the top 5 for teams game planning against this UNC offense which will arguably be one of the best the NCAA has ever seen, at least on paper. UNC has 3 attack players who should never leave the field in any meaningful game so she will be fighting for playing time against some other talented freshman and several upperclassmen who at times have been essential pieces of the offense.

Any updates/insight on UA regional tryouts? LI and update NY still haven't been scheduled. The West tryout is going to be in Mesquite, Nevada in the middle of July. Current temps there are 105+ degrees with threat of wildfires/hazardous smoke in the area. I know the West isn't a major player in the UA tourney (understatement) but I am concerned (shocked?) that UA is going to hold tryouts in 100+ degree temps. Also, as coronavirus numbers continue to spike in CA, TX, FL, AZ, etc I just don't see how bringing all these folks from around the country to MD in early August is such a great idea. Can't they hold off and have the tryouts/tourney later?

Sounds like a major liability for a large corporation to run the risk on. If the event traces Covid back to itself, a large corporation like Under Armour is a major target for lawsuits, class action suits, etc.... The event itself is peanuts to the corporation, but the liability is massive. Just can’t see it running. The only reason it has any legs is Corrigan sports going after the money. If it does run, you may see the UA sponsor name drop from it.

Who are you concerned for? Some anonymous girls?

Concerned for all the girls

Does anyone know if there will be a HS summer league like there has in the past? I believe it was ran by CR

whho knows ...as of now schools aren't allowing the use of their fields
