Club name doesn't really matter...just find a coach who knows your kid isn't a mommy or daddy coach and can be there for your kid.

oh man, I left out a *key* word in my original post - I am curious to know about COLLEGE programs...just wondering what folks know about various programs at the college level.

oh man, I screwed up and left out a critical word - COLLEGE. I'm interested if anyone has any inside info on COLLEGE programs. guess I need glasses lol

That’s ok! Gives people a chance to talk about club and college now!

I agree that she’s great but it dawned on me lately that me sending everyone to her and posting about her on here may have backfired on me. It seems half of my daughters team is now talking about trying out to play for her after playing with her for months. I’m grateful to her for all she’s done for my kid and her teammates but her current team better watch out because I can see a very large sum of other 24s going to tryo. For her. The catch for them is they won’t move clubs if she isn’t there coach so going to be intense for new and old kids fighting to be one of her players the backfire portion of my post is because I’m partly responsible for the kids now competitions with my own. I’m sure the best will find there way and hopefully my daughter is one of them

You are so transparent pushing this team and coach.

This isn’t a social media platform where we share our resources and experiences? It’s quite a world we live in where if we say anything positive it means that we have ulterior motives. if anything I shot myself in the foot by helping people get in here but I did it to help out other families who entered high school with unmotivated daughters who needed a push

I forgot that we live in a world where we are only allowed to share the negatives

Talk to me when this team is competitive in a serious tournament, otherwise, this is all irrelevant.

No one mentioned a team just a coach that kids believe in and want to play for, but again, I forgot that this is a site where you underestimate kids.

If your HS-age daughter is “unmotivated and needed a push”, she probably shouldn’t be playing.

Never been to this trainer but its parents with your attitude who make their kid detest the sport

the sense I have gotten from talking to the other lax moms is that there are a good handful of kids leaving their clubs and looking for a new home after the last two years. I would have to agree that many seem to be following their trainers so this doesn’t surprise me

It’s parents like you that think a trainer is going to magically make their average kid great. Doesn’t work that way,

yellow jackets 2024 teams - can someone tell me which coach is the a, b, c, d team? thanks in advance.

A- Weiner
B- Ramos
C- Kildare
D- O’Sullivan

Wiener (a), Ramos (b), Kildare (c). O’Sullivan (d)

Anyone know why the A team pulled out of live love lax tourney in md ?

Maybe because of Suffolk playoffs? I am not a YJ parent and I don’t know that as a fact. Just guessing.

Yes, we were told it was due to HS playoffs. Too many girls would not be available to play as the HS teams take precedent over club.

Still looks like most LI clubs HS teams going to Live, Love, Lax. Excited to see how LI will represent

Yes, we were told it was due to HS playoffs. Too many girls would not be available to play as the HS teams take precedent over club.

Why didn't YJ do what the Grizzlies did? The Grizzlies scheduled their 3 games on Sunday. They play in their high school games on Saturday and still get to play in the tournament on Sunday.

When is enough, enough?? Overuse injuries are real.

Because the CT playoffs are completely over on June 12. Nassau and Suffulk are just getting started that weekend. Even if you don't have games on a particular day there will likely be practice. And I've heard from a few kids that their high school coach has told them anyone skipping practice to go to a tournament won't be playing in the playoffs.

When are Nassau , Suffolk playoffs over? Is the tournament on 6/18 weekend effected as well, or will they be over?

[quote=Anonymous]When are Nassau , Suffolk playoffs over? Is the tournament on 6/18 weekend effected as well, or will they be over?

Saturday June 19th is the Long Island Championship so yes the Summer Genesis is affected.

So any of the Suffolk travel players who make playoffs and LIC will miss out on two travel tournaments.

Wiener.

Yep, unfortunate. Affects Nassau also. But at least by Summer Genesis weekend it's a smaller number of girls.

A lot of teams are still attending and have just moved games around. The tournaments will work with you.

Does it make sense to practice all week with Varsity, play a playoff game, then drive 4 hours to play 3 more games the next day? This is why over use injuries are at an all time high.... If you're thinking college coaches, they won't be at a 2024 tournament game but they will be at top tier HS playoff games.

College coaches don’t they won’t be at a 2024 game
But they might be at a top tier hs playoff game.

New to HS lacrosse. Can someone help me understand why a Varsity team could be so bad and the JV team competitive (same school) ?

[quote=Anonymous]New to HS lacrosse. Can someone help me understand why a Varsity team could be so bad and the JV team competitive (same school) ?

If the Varsity teams pull up all their talent it leaves their jv team as uncompetitive. Other schools don't pull up their talent and their Jv teams are competitive.

Yes that’s our team, I say like a big grump. :-)
Still suffering effects of Covid, no playoff rounds for the county this season and no out of county play ... Keeping uncompetitive seniors on the team, teaming senior girl with little sister, keeping girls you wanted to develop from last season,
I didn’t have an opinion until this year but with public they have to hire coaches who apply and are eligible through the school system employees first.
Coach just doesn’t feel like winning- it’s high school and we’ve had 9 years of playing on developing teams and now it’s time to start winning or at least try to win.
Now the JV has girls who are good but just don’t hit the wall enough- missed shots etc. hopefully they’ll learn by next year.

Club question. Does Steps ever get in a top bracket? Seems like YJ , Monster and the Md top teams all play and knock out each other while Steps plays weak tournies. Even L4C Charlie puts his teams in brackets to move on while others knock each other out.

Do all coaches come from within the district? I don’t actually know how coaches are chosen

How are you determining her to be the “Best 2024” when she wasn’t on varsity at SA. She is a wonderful player but other 2024 at SA on varsity.

Who are you talking about?

Is NYS Regionals similar to American Selects and Under Armour? As far as being considered for a team and does it attract the top regions players?
