wait they didn't have outside evaluators? so the coaches picked the team? of course they picked their own players!!!! Next time before you sign up check and see whose evaluating and you'll know who makes the team thats funny..

My God, is it really all that important to your ego? You now want some sports management major making $7 an hour to check the facts on every player? Get a life dude.

Seriously. Does anyone take responsibility for their actions. It’s somebody else’s fault. Unbelievable. The bios are inflated by the players/parents. I guess it’s not the YJ coaches fault for taking their players over more deserving players. Always an excuse never responsibility.

Not at all. Just wish there were better quality people out there. Oh well.

Noooo. How about not inflating your bio. As far as ego.....look at yourself and the parents of the players who submitted the overhyped nonsense.

Maybe take responsibility for your kid not making the team because she has been outworked by the other kids who have dads who dont make excuses such as coaches taking their players and tell their kids to work harder.

Allegedly one girl put some exaggerated claim from another sport and you people are ready to throw all the accomplishments of all the players under the bus? I can't vouch for everyone, but I just read several of the bios from the players that I know personally, and they are dead on accurate. Many of these players are extremely accomplished, and all you bellyachers are just flat out sad. I have been at this UA and select teams and awards from before BOTC started ten years ago, one thing never fails, exactly what you see here.

The post that you are responding to did not mention “Inflated” . It stated that information may be incorrect or inaccurate and that mistakes are made. The post also indicated that many times accolades are left out and that mistakes are made (by the person who writes the bio). At the college level, it is not the “responsibility” of the student athlete or the parent to enter / manage content on the team’s website. Any to your point there are a lot of people who take responsibility.

Ha. Your an stunad. Congrats on your connection with YJ. It’s not an excuse that 9 2022’s were picked. I’m sure one of those who inflate their kids bio with some nonsense FLG top player garbage. As stated earlier, in the end the Corrigan team is meaningless. what happens next year in HS and then college matters.

Actually UA is about as far from meaningless as could be. The sad part is the HS team is completely meaningless. The entire recruiting process goes through travel teams and select teams, period. If you have not figured that out yet, it will be a rude awakening come Sept 1st.

Yes, it's a big deal that your kid has been a varsity starter since birth on a no name school!

Wake up. We are talking 2021’s who are mostly committed. Corrigan this year is a meaningless bio filler. Since the 2021’s are now seniors their Sr HS lax season is meaningful. Does that spell it out for you to understand.

HS is far from meaningless, the best girls play travel, but HS accolades are still very important.

You are obviously new to competitive sports and it’s even more sad that your 2021 got beat out by a 2022 player and you somehow blame an inflated bio and politics , if your kid was that good they would have picked her . What happens in high school season will have little impact but I can tell you the UA team is the best indicator of how your kid will do in college and obviously not looking good for your kid .

Ha. Ok. Im sure your the lax know it all. No use discussing with a someone who has all the answers

Oddly you are 100%, unwittingly, supporting exactly what I am saying. The HS team is completely meaningless! Starter on whatever team, since whenever, only means something maybe at Garden City. But a top club/ top team player who makes all the select team nominations, all the County lists and all the awards, all the other odd lists etc... Now you got something. I will state it again, HS team is completely meaningless, no name school or not, starter for whatever grade, they need to make their mark elsewhere! Often the two go hand in hand, many of those impact players have that same effect across the board- travel. school, select teams, lists etc... I have to say of all the sports, this has to be the one that spawns the most jealousy and parent animonsity of them all. I will also say that the sport has served my kids extremely well, we have gotten a lot more out of it, than what we invested into it. But also sad to say, I can't stand most of the people involved in this, so many haters, so many jealous people. Maybe it is just the nature of people spilling their guts on the internet, but I just do not like the most of you, at least all the complainers, especially after a try-out that does not go your way!

The feeling is mutual.

Only Garden City, you can’t be serious. I have to say you and your kid are in for a rude awakening in college.

Sounds like the Covid did not slow down the recruiting for Sept 1st. Heard many girls had a lot of contact and interest from the coaches at the top schools. Such a great time for these kids, enjoy the ride!

Was surprised to see only one girl from TG for sure, but what other team were they overlooking. Seems they picked the best girls from the best teams. YJ has a new combined team with a lot of talent. Jesters has a lot of talent as well. TG seems to be the club whos kids got overlooked. Maybe it just was that these were the best kids of the day?

Possibly the best TG became a Jester. Another of the best TG players is out injured. One other made it. That accounts for 3 of previous TG teams best 5 players. Perhaps the other 2 didn’t go, got overlooked, didn’t show enough at the tryout or got shafted, perhaps not. Really not many TG even there.

Well said.

Maybe not the best TG girl left but she is definitely now the best Jesters girl.

September 1 has come and gone, the college coaches have started to reach out and the process has begun. This process will tell you just where your daughter stands in relation to her peers.

Maybe was not the top scorer for TG. But hands down best all around player on that team. I am a TG parent and she will be missed.

Maybe take responsibility for your kid not making the team because she has been outworked by the other kids who have dads who dont make excuses such as coaches taking their players and tell their kids to work harder.[/quote]

Outworked? Nope. If you play for certain teams you have an advantage. That’s how it is here. It’s not the girls issue it’s the adults they need follow the rules and let the impartial chips fall where they may if it was done that way I doubt most people would have an issue

Agreed, Legacy just came off of a win over Jesters. Only one Legacy girl taken and there were five Jester players that made the team. What a joke this tryout was.

They took legacy’s top player, pretty sure they took her last year as well. Maybe shes the only one who fit what they were looking for at the time. They chose the best of what was there that day.

If you want a fair and impartial tryout you cannot have club coaches as evaluators. YJ and Jesters coaches were evaluating players and the results speak for themselves.
YJ - 15 players selected, Jesters 5 players. Legacy just beat Jesters and only have one girl make it. Corrigan has lost any credibility they may have had.

Yes, process stinks, and needs to be re-evaluated

We didn't bother going to UA because we felt this year is just a $$$ scam. I'm sure plenty of people felt that way and this year UA is mostly meaningless. Not putting down the girls who made it, congrats to them. All I'm saying is there wasn't a full representation of LI talent at the tryouts and next year will be different (except the politics, that will remain).

160 girls at the tryouts. what’s a full representation???
politics never cease to amaze me but i heard of most of the girls who made it. Sure a few snubs but mostly got the top 10 kids in 2023.

Only one girl from Legacy made it because shes the only stand out. Its always been that way

Agreed. Goalie real good but not there. Others just outside the cusp. As a team they are better. YJ individuals much better but team has not played to expectations. They got the right girls for this event of top players who were there.

Only one girl from Legacy made it because shes the only stand out. Its always been that way

Impressive that Legacy with 1 stand out was able to beat the Jesters by 3 goals. Jesters have 5 UA stand outs.

5 UA standouts according to their coach who did evaluation. Joke

That Legacy player is "legit"!. I saw her take a stick to the head (Dirty play off ball) from a Jesters player behind the officials back. I heard the crack of the stick from the sideline. She got up, no coach or trainer attended, brushed herself off and continued to dominate that game in all fashions. She is much deserved.

100% true in all reality many of those girls would have made it either way... but for the girls sake make it impartial. Corrigan took the glory out of it for those poor girls its a sham....you can't have your dad or your own coach be the evaluator no matter how good you are it will always look bad.

Dude, you’re beating a dead horse.. the results are in, corrigan doesn’t care, he gets to call this group “LI All Americans” they get to play in the regional event and probably the finals. They get to put Command Team player on their resume, the finals will be shown live online and college coaches will watch. There is always next year.

So much jealousy!
Why can’t you just let the girl’s who made it have their day, they earned it.
