Stop watching CNN and MSNBC and go out side in the sunshine and fresh air.

Typical response, the facts won’t disappear because you hide your head in a pillow.

I'm not hiding under a bed. I'm a physician who works in a hospital every day. You CAN live your life. Low risk scenarios like watching sports outside are exactly that: LOW risk. That doesn't mean NO risk. COVID 19 ain't over yet. Be careful out there![/quote
covid 19 was over hyped and over done...

Who won the girls public and private divisions? What non-MD schools went?

there was only a girls private school division. McD won it 5-4 over SPSG

I know we're being all inclusive these days but it's still OK to detest McDonogh, right?

80% of the beds are filled but only 25-30% are filled with Covid patients. Funny that's not reported. Stop with elective surgeries again if it's becoming an issue.

Games we’re crappy. Was not reflective of how the IAAM season would of played out . Good for the girls to get out and play but in the end was some BS money grab for Corrigan to pay his mortgage for the month.

What tourney was this in MD where these teams played?

I am wondering about WPLL summit virtual tryouts. Did anyone pay for the virtual tryout? Seems they took money for a virtual tryout, then claimed you didn't make the team, but then didn't actually make a team in the age group (2021)!!! It seems that they didn't have enough girls for every age group and rather than return the money, they told people they didn't make it. Talk about a MONEY GRAB!! So glad I didn't buy in!!! I have heard this from two people. Any one else?

WPLL is posting the teams on Instagram in the coming days so you will see there if age group had a team.

Despite all the happy talk by the organizers...the "WPLL Futures" has been revealed to be just another way to make some $s. I dont mind "money grabs" - this entire club experience is about $/college and i'm happy to sign up for it given the upside.
But seeing USL/WPLL lean-in to it is something else...

It’s a pretty sad list from our region. Not at all competitive.

It was just an online "application"

Is there a a class for each grade? If not they should refund.

Yeah doesn’t look like it.

There is definitely not a team for each grade. Wow! WPLL taking money from people during covid-19 and then lying. Telling people they didn't make a team that doesn't even exits is just wrong!! Is this the leadership they teach at the summit?

Anyone have any thoughts about the UAAA tryouts?
This years format unfortunately had no drills segment so you had three different twenty minute games. If your daughters team had a good offense and she was D she probably never broke a sweat, vise-versa. Boo on that format.
Some coaches were better at keeping the teams rotating than others.
I know everyone like to say that the teams are mostly predetermined but a few girls that went to callback were result of back-scratching. And a MCD varsity girl who performed well did not make callback!
I do like to see good lacrosse played so I’m happy for the girls that got through. Although putting yourself down as attack or defense to stick out from the crowded midfield group is suspect and noted amongst the crowd.

No tshirts this year - just bc we’re in Covid doesn’t mean they can’t find something besides a pinnie to give these kids. CHEAP!

Gee thanks...my daughter made the LI list..

The format has always been terrible and the team you are placed on can make a huge difference especially if you get a few terrible ballhogs or overmatched kids . Not sure its your business what other kids put down as a position and the fact that you and your yenta friends care is ridiculous. My two daughters were middies on both their travel and high school teams out of necessity but were typical kids and enjoyed the "glory" of playing attack so would do so for UA and schoolgirls ,had nothing to do with trying to "stick out". That said I have no problem with a kid trying out for a position they have better chances of making.

Where is the list? I see 1 2021 and a bunch of 2022s. Is there a team for each grade listed somewhere?

Really? You're upset because girls tried out for positions they thought they could make? Let me guess you're the parent of the McD girl that did not make callback?

The teams were posted on twitter/Instagram by player and grad year..the broke it out by home state. But the age group team is all the girls listed as 2021, 2022 etc.. regardless of state

Politics again this year in the MD tryouts

You should know by now UA is about who you know or who you can pay off. So don’t cry about now.

Does UA matter anymore at all?
Gave too much money to Giselle.

its more about who the coaches the teams, then look at the girls selected, top heavy with either high school player or club players of the coaches

Exactly- there is no 2021 team from LI. There was supposed to be 1 team per age group. So again, if WPLL is saying you didn't make a team, but the team doesn't exist, that is total misrepresentation and a money grab.

Seriously, sending girls emails that they didn't make the cut for a team that doesn't exist is so wrong.

Sorry. Can’t speak for your region but the Northeast/NE lists were not representative of the top players at all.

Playing for McD varsity doesn't automatically qualify you for anything. The girl I assume you are referring to has hardly played the last two years. The 2 2022 McD players that made the team are much bigger parts of the McD team than the 2021 player that didn't. Also, the 2021 girl you are referring to has never made a UA team while the 2 2022s have now made it for the second year in a row. Almost all the girls that made the team have been on a UA team previously. For 7 of them it is their 3rd straight year on the team. In terms of the structure of the tryout, every girl played in the same structure. Is it a perfect system of course not. There's no way it can be. And yes, girls that have made the team before and are known by the coaches have a better chance. But every year like clockwork people run here to complain. Everyone complained last year. Both Baltimore teams won the championship last year so maybe the evaluators know what they're looking at.

The same holds true with Baltimore list

Some prople are using Covid to get their daughters on any kind of list.....very sad and transparant!

But did the "top" girls complete their applications and send video as required? if not then you cant blame those that did and made the list..


Right, its sad trying to make the best of a bad situation... this is the a recruiting year time to step up and be proactive

Maybe they didn’t send in apps? I’d have to assume they didn’t based on the list. But I think that kind of proves the point that it wasn’t a very competitive process.

But hey how could you know? It could’ve been. Depends on who applied. I’m not knocking anyone for trying it. You gotta do whatever you can in this environment. I’m just saying there’s girls on the list that I know who aren’t even on the top teams and are from clubs that aren’t very competitive.

isn't it like that for all lists....I mean really in some of these "top" whatever lists there are girls that aren't even playing for top teams? Its random

It is to a certain event. There’s always a random or two or whatever that are in. But from what I saw of the list for the area I know it went beyond that. All I’m saying is I saw the list and I thought I guess most people didn’t apply. It just didn’t reflect the top players in the region. Maybe your region is different.

I think you are UA underclass with UA150? UA underclass does not have applications. You try out. You apply for UA150

New York State just cancelled all Fall Sports!!!

Delayed to 9/21 not cxld.
