Hey we all pay a ton of money for our daughters to play travel lacrosse. Why wouldn’t you make sure your club has representatives at every single event that has a tryout. I don’t care if it’s School Girls, Under Armour or Empire State (that’s for the old timers) this is why you have to know how your club will be advocating for your daughter. Makes no difference if it’s a tryout or a conversation with a college coach. Make sure your director will go the extra mile for your child. Now I know you will say it’s supposed to be impartial ? Listen.... they always get the top 10-12 studs right , it’s the next 10-12 spots that are up for grabs. This is where there are a lot of girls with the same talent level. So who do you take ,the one you have seen play all season or role the dice on a player, who maybe just maybe had a great tryout or the one you have a solid history of how they play all year long. It’s pretty simple ,hold your directors to giving you all they possibly can , or give your money to someone who will.

Talk about revising history. Check back a few pages and you will see the posts that state HS seasons mean nothing. So now you.... mr facts.... starts quoting HS stats. I guess your little bundle of joy scored a few points during meaningless HS games. We get it. You paid the YJ vig. You get to pump up little bundles bio. Congrats. Now.... go get your shine box.

This

First, I’m Mrs. Facts. Second, get your shine box is the most pathetic reply to any post, kind of like I know you are but what am I. Child. I never posted HS means nothing a few pages back, someone else. The stats in a meaningless game absolutely mean nothing. What means a whole bunch is that the post referred to girls from districts across LI that took them as 8th graders and they got to play, regardless of situation. Those are who were chosen for this Are those girls. Same ones picked for talent by varsity coaches across LI. If it is in your town or not does not matter. These girls have been selected by all who come across them. Some questionable after the first 18. Get your shine box, pathetic.

YJ Vig ? I bet we pay less. $700 to be on YJ and $700 for tournaments. Winter indoor practice time costs are done team by team. YJ Vig? what a joke. You will grab at any reason your precious didn’t make it.

Were any of the 5 Jesters that made UA on Varsity as 8th graders? Nope

Wrong. LD who left TG and is one of the 5 Jesters certainly did. Know what you are talking about.

There will always be whining and complaining in this sport. Many of the parents are delusional and they will never accept that their daughter is not one of the "elite" players in her age group on Long Island. They bring up politics, complain about how the tryouts were not fair, you name it that blame it. It has been said before on this site... "if you want to know where your daughter stands, just look at the schools that make early offers". If a player is truly one of the top 20 - 30 players in her grade from Long Island she will more than likely receive several offers from Top 10 - 15 programs. Are there a few girls who are overlooked ? sure but not many. The best college programs do an excellent job at identifying the best players so when few or zero Top 10 Programs make offers it should tell you something. Can't speak to the current command team but over the years Under Armour / Corrigan has done a very good job at identifying talent and selecting many of the strongest players. The vast majority of the Top players from Long island will be very high on many of the Top College Coaches lists and they are the first ones offered spots at the best programs. Thats just the way it is and every year many of those players are the same players who are selected for The UA Team.

I have read on here that "many" of the players are "interchangeable"... How many is "many" ??

Ok mrs facts. You were team mom and were able to get your little bundle on varsity. Congrats. Now..... go get your knitting box.

I can tell you 1000% that one of the Jesters girls was an 8th grade starter in varsity and it’s not LD!!!!

Hmmm. So you are 20% correct. No much for facts huh.....mrs facts. And who cares. I guess you are the WB team mom.

“One of them who certainly did” means there could be more. Here someone provided 1000% fact that there is another. Great. Only supports my point. Those chosen in 8th grade to make Varsity Across LI made this team. They Have created recognition already.
Now- Get my knitting box? Even more childish, antiquated and boorish! Child-stunad.

The top schools are picking up 2022 talent.... up to about 20 commits at the end of week 1

Bethpage lol

Quick summary of the past week or so:

Parents of girls who made the team are happy.
Parents of girls who didn't are sad.

The system is not likely to change - time to move on.

there are 2 showcases oct 12 Undisputed and downstate? both on long island which one is worth signing up for ? is one better than the other...do you think it will happen with coaches might having to quarantine?

Schools are taking less this year. Very stressful.

You forgot #3. Those who don’t care about UA this year because it’s a waste of money and time. Hopefully the real UA will be back next summer!

In the past neither were great, this year getting to these might be critical if your in the recruiting age groups. NY, Ct, NJ coaches wont have an issue traveling to LI ( as long as the dead period is lifted ) Coaches from further away probably arent willing to quarantine, IF their home university even allows out of state travel.
In the end its another chance at film..

And just like that Under Armour is out of luck. Last week they gave the date and location for the Northern Super Regional. Somehow they figured it would be a good idea to bring NY teams down to Maryland to play. Then a couple days later, NY added Maryland to the mandatory quarantine list. So all the players, parents, coaches would have to skip school, work etc... for two weeks when they get home. Not going to happen, especially when all the kids on the rosters are high profile and would stick out like a sore thumb if they tried to sneak back to school after attending. They would actually have to lie everyday to get admitted to school each day. I just don't understand why Under Armour can't set these games up in NY or at least the northeast where this stuff is not an issue. Can't imagine them running it in MD with the current ban, and if they do, I can't imagine people actually going, throwing two weeks of their life out the window. I expect they will be announcing alternative plans soon.

As it stands right now college coaches from 34 states would have to quarantine 2 weeks in NY before they could attend either of these showcases.

Saw this in a player's Bio, Favorite subject, Scince? Is that a subject they teach for 50K/year at Friends?

If your in the state less than 24 hours there is no requirement to quarantine. just need to re-organize the schedule.. or make the drive twice..

Corrigan Sports just removed the scheduled date and location and put it back to TBD. So it looks like MD is out and they need to go back to the drawing board.

Play in Westchester or Orange County (Upstate and LI ) drive home at night. Same thing on Sunday. New England can play and sleep in a hotel in Connecticut thereby not violating the 24 hour in state rule.

How were the boys able to play all summer and the girls ( considered non contact ) couldn’t get a game in ?

What is the UA Call Back Academy ? Anyone have any real info or past experience ? Is it a thing or not worth it ? Thank you

TRUE STORY

Showcases...I saw the ad for the Undisputed Showcase on Columbus Day on the events page.

At what age/grade do players usually start attending them? Is it worth it for a freshman to attend one of those?

In order to get better you need to play...10,000 hours you know

That doesn't answer my question, but thanks for the input.

When will the NCAA vote on dead period again. Can we assume another extension to 10/31 is coming soon? Will college coaches be able to attend anything this fall?

For girls who didn't play this summer there is a big disadvantage. Many coaches don't need to see fall games, There are not many spots available with the 5th year option, and many girls committing faster than ever this year.

100% agree on faster commitment's this year with no prospects days in site. Coaches are locking the girls in that were already on their radars.

My understanding was that the NCAA was voting on the dead period today.

D1 schools snapped up the top 50 players quickly in the first 2 weeks. Now the pace should be much slower for the next 3 months

My opinion but, I think four to five 2022 recruits for most schools for this class. Lots of incumbents planning their 5th years already
