Haha haha. Is your daughter as delusional as you? A shame lax tournaments are becoming socialist.

"Lights out" play? You must not have been watching the same LI team as me. Not one girl scored more than 2 goals in any game (fact), and the whole team looked like they were a JV team playing Varsity team when playing (getting beat badly) CONN. That's not "lights out". Most girls too small, slow and unathletic to even think about playing in college.

Ok now that’s delusional lmfao

it was so bad. there is a ton of talent on long island just not there. the top players on TG didnt even go to try out s same with other teams. they knew better

There were actually lots of TG girls at try out

After the UA disaster, what can/should be done next summer to make LI more competitive? Next summer’s UA team will be an extremely important event for the 2023s who are lucky make the team. The way they looked, after this tournament, I’d be surprised if any of them make it. Is there a second team the make just for recruiting? Like an uncommitted team?

2023 Top Gun Black vs 2023 Jesters Black? My money is on Jesters!

Maybe this fall, not a chance next summer!

Lol

Been there. The same kids will make the team. Stop wasting your money. The ones who tell you it's a great practice and worth the $$ are making $$. Don't show up that's what can be done.

put a jock strap on??
with you play and where? let’s hear this. let me guess all conf in football in 1988. awesome bro.
you are still crying your daughter didn’t get picked.
go text CR like you always do and cry to her.

At this point I think the girls who did get picked should be more embarrassed than the ones who didn’t. What a pathetic showing and waste of time for all involved. Driving to and from VA must have been the icing on the cake!

Well my daughter got picked and has got a few emails from schools requesting film...... soooooooo not sure how your little precious is doing but we are just fine!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lmfao! They send those emails to everyone on the team. Also, coaches are prohibited from making personal contact at this time. Guess you’re new. Trust me..she’s not getting recruited after that performance

Top middy in Long Island ? NAH .. Very strong young lady but misses the net way too many shots (that can be fixed with a better trainer). I still think that she is one to the top players on the island but not the best. You know shooting percentage and turn overs are a stat. But all you clowns look at is goals. Its who makes the players around them better. Its who helps the team gel. Its who picks up their teammates when they fall. Its who causes a turnover at the most important time of the game. When I watch the kids play they more or less look the same on the field to a certain extent. You can see some kids are athletically superior but it isn't night and day for the most part. The day of running down the field like a REC kid and going straight to goal is OVER.. If you cant play the SAME with both hands you are in trouble (includes catching on a full run cut). If you cant shoot from any angle, you are in trouble. If you are slow you are in trouble. Unfortunately many of the kids talked about on this thread have become (thru their parents) locker room cancers that erode the fabric of any team they play on now and most likely in the future. Everything they talk about is negative or fashioned as a complaint. Gossip over rides the will to work. I detest to see this because I see that many of the travel teams have great talent but equally bad attitude. Try telling your kids no once in a while and maybe just maybe you will see some changes. If not ...just run and buy them the next biggest toy or phone so they can over compete wit their friends on the social area. Hey buy why not ... they are all gong to remember each other after school right ?

She is definitely a top middi on Long Island. One of her best qualities r defensive skills. Not everybody plays defense at high-level. Some of those attackers barely had a ride. 90% of that team never even thinks about picking their head up. Couple attackers OMG. PASS THE BALL

There are 6 "top middis" on LI. They are all interchangeable and have unique strengths and weaknesses. Question is, which one(s) will separate themselves from the pack?

maybe they should just reject the honor and can tell everyone they got cut and blame politics like you and your kid.

funny part all the jealous crazy parents go on here and BLAST these kids that made the team, and blast them even more if they got an honor, but the irony of it all is they will be the same kids who make every 'watch' list, All county and AA and go to the top programs in the country. Been happening forever. as Ricky Henderson said....'they only BOO the best".
I am the sure the results in Virginia were disappointing for all the girls, but it was probably also a great experience. They are all the midst of a very nice lacrosse journey that may lead them to college one day where they continue to play and have fun and make memories, all while the same parents whine and complain. Just enjoy the journey or at least let your daughters enjoy it without you ruining it for them. It will be over fast

Same parents complaining would sell an organ to have had their kids chosen, but come on here and tear down young girls instead.
If their kid would have been chosen, and the outcome be the same, they would be on here defending the whole experience fiercely.

Same old sad mom and dads who are butthurt their kid didn’t make it. Now you say you’re glad your kid didn’t make it. Which is good because your kids probably won’t make
It next year. Kudos to the girls who played and had the experience.

Can you say damage control! Haha. Excused never stop!

Kudos to the karma of getting picked for something they didn't deserve. Hopefully they lean from the train wreck. Maybe the lesson is that being picked due to politics is never a good thing and lacrosse is not for them!

Wow I feel sorry for your kid, but I’m sure that apple didn’t fall far. You are a train wreck of a parent.

When will YOU move on from this? I’ve got to think your daughter already has and if she hasn’t, then pat yourself on the back for adding more dysfunction to her life. Enough already.

If lacrosse “isn’t for them”, what’s your kids excuse? Should parents start telling you that maybe you should tell your kid that she’s never going to make a select team, and that she should just deal with it ? You’re going to throw your money down next year to try out. Just leave it be.

Yay, you’re getting the point! Many talented girls didn’t make the select team due to bias of the evaluators. What’s my evidence you ask? About half the girls picked did nothing to contribute to a win, in fact , they were liabilities on the field. Keep telling yourself that your daughter belonged there even though she did nothing. There were definitely a few that would clearly make the team no matter who was doing the evaluation, the bottom half had no business being there!

Hence, why we didn't go to the tryout. Some of the girls who made the team are great players and very deserving. Some, not so much. But if you think the UA team represents the top talent on LI then you're delusional. For us personally, we decided our money was better spent going to college camps at schools my daughter is actually interested in attending. That's the joke of all this. With the recruiting changes, the college camps make your club and your club directors connections a lot less important. Seriously, why do I care if Podunk School of Basketweaving is interested in my daughter and contacts our clubs director? We're interested in the schools my daughter would like to attend and that's really easy to go check out on our own, without the drama, without the politics and without being beholden to a club director.

Except all the campus are closed, there are no camps... A nice fresh highlight reel from the UA tournament might go a long way come next 9/1

Don't blame politics the Jesters selected the girls that had the best tournament and earned a place on the all tournament team. With 5 UA Jesters they will be a force this upcoming summer.

Except for the girls who did nothing...don't think it would be a good idea to send film on those turnovers!

Here’s some simple advice every year Long Island gets about 150 D1 commitments whether your or 150 be happy it’s a great honor to play a D1 sport

Stop coming on this site being positive and saying something that makes sense.

So you are the authority on lacrosse and “B” team players now!!!!!! Good to know, maybe UA should hire you for the evaluations next year.
Man Jesters are making some parents on here sweat now.

Other than the former TG girl nobody that was at UA would sweat this team. They are mediocre at best.

She’s a very good HS player, don’t think her skill set transitions well to the college game. Too small, slow shot. College is a different game.
