The Elite 8 will be the final tournament of the summer.

Does anyone know the format for elite 8 ?

The clubs are supposed to be ranked 1 through 8 based on their summer season. It should then be the 1 seed plays the 8 seed and so on in a championship format.

Best coach in country lost to the jokers!
That’s funny
Pal coach could have figured out how to stop one player.

True 5-1 lead blown because he failed to make adjustments. Draw killed them.

Five goals in about seven minutes ouch!

Fake news. Draw circle was fine for TG

First half was fine, then we won every one and scored free position thought the goalies legs every time. Was odd coaching they didn’t switch it up. Worked out well for us!

Who is we? Did you play in the game? Are you the coach?

Grow up. Exciting game. Let’s celebrate that e has all LI girls playing in the semi. And the Champ!

There is tape available for anyone to watch and it was 2nd half turnovers and a bad off sides call that did TG in that game. Jesters circle is weak.

LOL. It's ok. Some therapy might help you deal with the loss.

Sunlight even shines on garbage every once in a while. Don’t even waste your time going back and forth with a disillusioned, childish Jester’s program. It’s the same thing in every age group with them. Arrogant, with no substance.

There is no growing up with them. They have been and will remain a classless program.

Yes! Let’s celebrate the LI girls beating MD teams. That’s something we can all cheer

TG is mad that they lost the OT draw and their former star player scored the game winner, boo hoo

That would b the TG program your talking about right. Jesters get along with other LI programs and work together. Who works w the TG directors?
NOBODY

TG is a bunch arrogant parents and hot head coach that lost his cool when he realized the Jesters were coming on strong!
TG girls are very good but have bad parents and really bad coach.

There are good and bad parents on all the teams. My daughter plays on TG and is friends with girls from all the other clubs. They have been together at many recruiting camps/events this summer and get along fine, as do the parents. Was a great win for the Jesters program, they definitely wanted it more and deserved the win. My daughter reached out to her Jesters friends and congratulated them. The real win last weekend was for the girls who played well and have many fine colleges interested in them. Why waste so much time on this nonsense, many of your daughters will be playing on the same teams in college. It’s almost over for us, hopefully the girls can stay healthy for the remainder of the events this summer and have lots of excellent choices come September!

Well said

After LFTC I remember a post stating it was Grizzlies then every one else. The playoff game wasn’t close the supposed to be #1 ranked player was basically nonexistent. Wouldn’t be so fast to crown anyone lot of talent spread out for the 23 class.

Childish is complaining about " a bad offsides call." Let's hope a child posted that, otherwise hang your head in shame.

Very true!

This is a very talented 23 class. The girl on the Grizzlies is an excellent player however there are many excellent players on Long Island that have really shown well this summer. Try and enjoy the rest of the summer. September 1st is right around the corner.

last week the same TG parents who were told by their club to keep their mouths shut ran to this site to declare themselves the best team in the age group. a week later Andrew was getting schooled and lost his cool when he realized he was in over his head. Coach Smith is not a good coach. TG got totally outcoached by Jesters. TG parents drank the Kool aid over the years paying for privates with Andrew. now that the wall ball at 100 hour didn't work are the TG parents getting a refund? why don't you go play for colleen and Christina - you know you want to!!! ha ha

Lol, nobody cares. Club lax wins are nice, but not all that important at this point. Girls are all getting recruited to top programs, and managing college interest. That’s all the parents care about at this point. If your daughter isn’t doing this right now, you should be way more worried about that than who won a game. Trust me!

Where do you think the former TG girl on Jesters developed her skills not from Colleen. Jesters are a one person team if you if think coaches were watching anybody else besides her you are sadly mistaken.

Trust me
Every single parent cared about that game.

My daughter plays TG. They do a great job all around. Fact is there were several talented freshman playing in the NCAA tournament this year that played Topguns or trained with the Smiths.

What travel team did the jesters coaches play for before going to college again?

I'm a parent of a TG. This summer I care about only one thing: September 1. Club bragging rights were fun the past few years. I could care less now. They're not in middle school anymore! The fact that you're so hung up on a club lacrosse game is immature and funny. Club bragging rights have turned now to college commitments. We'll see how it all panns out this fall.

You should already be seeing how it panned out. The college coaches reach out (illegally) to the club directors usually as a result from the first or second club summer tournament, requesting the 1-3 players they are interested in to please show up at their camp. A few months before September 1st, you should already know which colleges will be the biggest pushes come September 1st. Most of these coaches definitely bend/break the rules to make sure the recruits know of their interest well before September 1st.

If ur TG let’s hope Hofstra not recruiting u because I m sure some of those emails from other schools interested r lost.
🤷🏻‍♂️
Fact

It's perfectly legal for a college coach to speak to a club or HS coach regarding a player prior to 9/1. Sad how little you know.

Trust me, I know how it works. AS has lists of the girls top choices and does a great job advocating for them. All of my daughters top choices have been actively engaging with coach and we are clear where she stands. Come September try not to be too jealous at the Impressive TG and YJ commitments. Unless you’re one top the top two on Jesters ( girls who made US) Don’t be so quick to dismiss Hofstra, it would be a reach school for your daughter!

WB coach brought her offense to the Jesters pass the ball to the former TG girl and get out of the way. Must be great for recruiting watching her take free position shots. I'm sure the coaches were impressed with the rest of the team.

Clearly your first time through the recruiting process. Panned out in the fall would refer to an offer not just interest. Assistant coaches make a living off of camps. A large net is cast and you may think you are the top of the coaches list however you will not know until you start receiving offers. Coaches inviting you to camps is legal. At some camps there are a couple of hundred girls do you think they are all on the short list to call on September 1st?

Spoken from someone who has totally no clue. There are already many girls who under the table verbals, who will make it official the first week of September. Also, camps can help, but are totally not necessary for top tier recruits (you would know if your daughter was one). If you have no clue about who your daughter will be receiving offers from Sept. 1, you are behind in the process, and time is running out.

You do realize that in the last 2 weeks 22's have committed to Penn St, Michigan and Stanford. I'd say worth the wait. Don't worry newbies for some it's quick for others it's not but it works out for everyone.

Also, camps are necessary. Quite often coaches will ask current commits to come to camp and group them with 23's they are interested in to see how they look playing with current commits.

And Florida!
