Last night Jabroni lost to Elevate 23 and Lomomma beat South Side.

oh they lost to 23s , well they still couldnt throw and catch very good

does that janelli team practice regularly?

they practice but its usually a dad or too running it, the head coach may show up if its pay day

its a pay to play team basically

What happened to the 4 “self proclaimed” super stars on jabroni ? They still can’t catch and throw ?

the never could , thats what made those rumors so ridiculous

come on, three of those kids are decent and the other is probably better suited for the c team.

just a team in decline, happens all the time

Maybe they just had an off game? They are 3-1 in the league having beaten a few Varsity teams. Jeez...

Humanity and this site is in decline...

I've got a hard time believing kids on Jabroni's B team can't catch and throw, yet somehow they're beating varsity teams in games, and are top 15 in the country? I would also think we wouldn't spend multiple pages of this thread putting together a heat map of where the Fantastic Four will end up if they truly didn't have any talent. Let's just stick to talking smack about the adults and teams in general fellas.

2025 kids that are still playing at this point are ones that want to get better at their craft, should we discourage that? I'm sure we'll have a ton to talk about this summer with all the pent up movement from team to team from this past 'season' so let's work on our verbal delivery this offseason, and be ready come July. I'm sure you can do better than 'they can't and throw good', you're all better than that I'm certain of it.

Serious question for those that have been through this. Have a 6th grade daughter that generally plays Def and mid. Her team’s primary goalie went down with long term injury. Coach asked kid if interested in being goalie. Asked her and she is 50/50 about it. Thoughts? Feel like she would be good but don’t want her to get stuck there.

Maybe have her try it out at a practice or two. If she finds that she doesn't really want to be in there and has no intention of sticking with it, she will end up wasting an entire season. It is not everyone's cup of tea to be hit with hard rubber balls.

Ah, no movement this year. Maybe next year. Maybe not.

Really wish Long Island had a similar spring season like the Mid-Atlantic Division of NGLL.

NGLL tried 2 years in a row to get a Long Island region going and not enough clubs joined. it took a pandemic for local lacrosse to finally happen. I hope we can see more local leagues in the future. Sadly it looks like another summer spent on the NJ turnpike for most of us.

To many egos to do a spring league like Mid-Atlantic. Plus you have 7th and 8th graders playing high school lax. Where as Maryland doesn’t allow 7/8 graders to play. How is Spallina going to coach his SB team, his 22 91 team, his 23 91 team and his daughters 25 YJ team. Heard he’s started recruiting for his babies 2035 YJ team.

Has any clubs played lacrosse this spring? summer season starts up this weekend with many clubs playing at Lax by the Sea. Interested to see how YJ Spallina does. they really haven't played much in the last 18 months.

The true barometer of this team and most others will be at the late june and july tourneys. Many kids playing varsity and JV HS seasons right now. The focus for those girls has not been on club team, but will be in a few weeks.

theyve practiced enuff his offseason and no local team is within 10 goals of them on there best day

nationally they will be fine to

the gap is supposed to narrow as teams get older , but here it will only widen

They are good, but what does Spallina do in a showcase tourney when he needs to utilize all 25 girls? Does he only bring the top 15 girls and leave the rest at home?

You think the teams nationally have gotten weaker? M&D? SW? Heros? CT Grizzlies? Wonder how YJ would do in the Baltimore area playing those 3 teams week in week out. The 2025 class on the island is weak.

Dude you are single handedly bringing down the club brand with your lack of basic English abilities. Please stop posting, or ask your 8th grader for assistance.

No way he plays everyone. If he does, I cant wait to see the tantrums. We all know who's kid will throw the biggest temper tantrum.

He'll never do it.

With the 2020’s, as each got committed, he played the not committed kids more and more. He certainly showcased his own, but all of those kids got a fair shot to be seen. Without a doubt.

Spallina running scared. Dropped out of lax by the sea.

Or most of the team is playing varsity lacrosse and has practice or games.

Probably has nothing to do with majority of their team playing varsity and JV while your kid playing Middle school can get free for the weekend

JV playoffs this weekend too? didn't know there was a state tourney for JV teams.

If you had any idea how things work at the HS level, you would realize that the best JV players get pulled up to Varsity for the playoffs. It's called building a successful program and a winning culture. Some of you people make accusations without knowing any/most of the variables associated with decisions that are made. Believe it or not the team that is being targeted in this thread as being "scared" has many girls playing JV/Varsity. In most cases, the kids playing JV are the best players on that team as 8th graders. Therefore, they get pulled up to Varsity for playoff run, which begins tomorrow at Varsity practice........HS takes precedence over club in this case, just the way it is.

Jabroni is out of Lax by the Sea also. I suspect varsity conflicts not bracket fear...

None of them exactly lighting it up. Most warming pine.

All. Unless daddy has connections.

Steps Elite Blue needs to step up an play in the A pool. I've noticed that in all of their tourneys they place themselves in a very weak pool, and then setup the playoffs so they won't have to face the Pool A champion until the finals. It worked this weekend at Lax by the Sea. Hero's green ran out of steam while Steps Elite Blue was fresh. Look at Lax for the cure, etc. Great Club, but stop ducking the top teams.

The YJ way!

That A pool is tough to get out of into the playoffs. No thanks.

yja may go 2-2 with there schedule this wknd

especially with starters still in HS playoffs

Interested to see Spallina play this weekend. Don’t believe he will coach the girls, believe he will coach boys at Stonybrook showcase.

YJ Spallina will have 5-8 girls playing in LIC on Saturday depending on who wins County championships tonight......this team won't show who they really are until G8 in July

Noticed they dropped Spallina from the team name on Yellow Jackets website, and Lax for the cure schedule. I'm assuming he can't coach now they are prospective student athletes? or is he leaving for the Cuse job?

Spallina not getting cuse job
