BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2027-6th Grade Fall 2020/Summer 2021

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to 2027 Graduating Girls (6th Graders) for the Fall 2020/Summer 2021 Season.

Thinking about trying out for team 91 tri-state Monday Aug 3 or Tuesday Aug 4. How's their girls program?

Can anyone share information on
Liberty
Too Guns
Empire

91 gives their girls program zero love and they are never competitive. Like ever. What you're seeing is all marketing and a sham. Plus, your daughter will only be entered in 91 "mylacrossetournaments" which are generally a battle of the B teams. Better to lose in A then win in B.

Depending on where you live, I've seen competitive girls teams (not 2027, older teams) from STEPS and Dewlax in NJ. CT Grizzlies in CT. I've also seen some decent girls teams coming out of BBL (NJ) and Primtetime (Westchester/CT).

Many teams are still practicing - contact club directors and arrainge to go to see a practice. Then have your daughter tryout if you like what you see.

What are the top 27 LI teams? I know YJ Grazidei is up there. Who else? TG? Jesters?

YJ Grazidei and Jesters

FLG 27 Navy and YJ Grazidei.

How about Elevate and Liberty?

Jesters has better training and better coaching.

91 Girls program is terrible

Elevate as a program has been around forever but fallen steeply the past few years. Jesters has scooped up the talent

Ekevste has taken a huge fall over the last few years. Used to be a top club. Director charges top $ and gives sub par training. Try’s to do it all himself and it’s not working. Girls can not compete at top level.

Jesters club seems to be investing in their teams and adding coach’s and good training. Picking up Elevates slack perhaps

What’s the pecking order on the yellowjackets team? Whose the “a” team etc. thanks

Liberty better than jesters and elevate. Yj flg and traditions are top 3.

Grazidei
Gaghan
Palermo

Anyone know anything about the 2027 Top Guns team?

Are there 1 or 2 Top Guns teams at this age?

Jesters trolls BOC and trying to sell their program.
Still YJ then Top Guns. All the other clubs are trying to get the girls but YJ and Top Gins will always be on the top, have the best training and be in the best tournaments.

from what I’ve seen the 2 yj teams are the best. If the 2nd team is in the aa bracket none of those teams touch them. But man, I thought 91 dads wore a lot of team gear. Yj dads take that to the next level. And not for nothing, a yellow jacket is not a bee. So all your T-shirt’s are wrong.

Ha after all these years I can't believe this never crossed my mind

Grazidei then FLG Navy. No one close to those 2 right now. If you watched Queen of the Island game you would know.

Queen of the Island showed that YJ is far superior to any of the clubs. Even their B teams. Liberty is slipping as they got crushed by FLG and other games were won by just 1 goal. I haven’t seen Top Guns play yet. Jesters is starting to just accumulate teams. Not sure how successful they will be. My guess is you will see movement from team to team after this season.

YJ B team will close the gap at some point. Not close to either Grazidei or FLG Navy. FLG has blown out YJ B on several occasions the last couple years. Games were not competitive.

Top Guns seems very quiet in this age group. Anyone familiar with how good they are? How many practices per week?

You will know by June 13 after Live Love Lax games. They play M&D Black, BLC, NEMS and Big 4 HHH.

I believe there is only 1 Top Guns Black team

Top Guns always puts their teams in the top tournaments. This years team is very strong but tough competition for their first tournament.

Liberty elevate and jesters are basically going to go down in flames soon

Ok TG parent. Maybe Elevate? Not Liberty and Jesters. One of them will prob. Beat Top Gun

Too funny! I guess they should change mantra to “fear the wasp” 😆

They don't play in the same tournaments

Your saying Liberty and Jesters stay away from top tournaments?

Liberty’s A team at this age is just a B team. They can’t beat any of the legit A teams (FLG, YJ) last tourney they barely beat Empire. Jesters is turning into a money making machine that will take anyone’s money and make another team. They aren’t developing anyone.

Liberty teams tend to stay more local at the younger ages. Jump Into June, Queen of the Island, Lax Fest, Summer Slam, etc. Go to the bigger out of state tournaments when they are older.

Makes sense to train and play local at the younger ages. Unfortunately, the better comp for them does not stay local. They should all play local and get each other better to go take on the MD teams. Plus, why does an 8 year old need to be traveling out of state when we have great players here on LI ?

This seems to have worked as they have had some great older teams. Doesn’t a lot of their players play Manhasset HS? Consistently one of the best HS teams?

Liberty can’t complete with the better teams at any age.

The Liberty A team at this age is fractured because of the nonsense a parent pulled with the 7v7 league. You will see some of the top kids leave. Writing is on the wall for this team. They will always be a B team playing in the A bracket. They will only beat the other B teams in the A bracket. They will never be as good as YJ or FLG. Would love to see them play Top Guns.

so YJ, Top Guns, then the rest? Where do the top liberty players then go? Also doesn’t GC have a team at this age?
