It is sad as a parent who also played in college and coached club for years to see anything that isn’t trash talk on this site be written off it is a cesspool of badmouthing clubs coach and anything that anyone isn’t a part of

Yes

Good luck to all those she encounters

Funny how this topic always comes up just at tryout season. Then fades away.

Was just going to say that all these coaches are getting some heat right now for no reason

'24 Studs???
Several of those '24 don't on their teams. What a tremendous drop off for the UA. My daughter had to grind to make the UA team the last 2 years.
We seriously cannot believe that their are girls that get limited play on their teams made UA.
These poor girls are going to get slaughtered by other regions. They are going to be devastated! And realize that maybe they didn't belong there. AndI UA has become a
second rate which hurts all of the girls that made team in past and even the girls who made team this year. I'm sorry to lay it out like this and it's not the girls fault. We all apologize to the parents and girls who may or may not apply to!!

It's not the girl's fault for sure. On NYSR, UA and AS there are so many girls who don't play a lot (or at all) on their high school or club teams. Maybe many did not try out? It was a very different school year with lot's of sports overlapping and school was stressful as well. Hopefully all of the girls have fun, and hopefully they have a good experience. That's what it's all about right?

Def. not the girls faults!! Congrats to all of them and good luck to all the LI girls!

It's absolutely all for fun! Until next year.. lol

It's absolutely all for fun! Until next year.. lol
CONGRATS TO ALL THE GIRLS!

So you are complaining that she is bringing her kid to recruiting events? Maybe she is looking for her kid to get better and present better opportunities for her daughters lacrosse game. Last time I checked, most of these are publicly posted events and you could bring your daughter too… stop hiding behind the internet and support these young girls trying to grow their game.

Ok mom

Jokes on you…. I’m not the kids mother and not even affiliated with the team. It seems to me you are a bitter parent who’s kid doesn’t play or want to work hard.

Sure you aren’t

sounds like another parent coach with a friends and family plan. time to move on while you can.

Read my mind boss

WHY AM I READING TGIS WHOLE BACK AND FORTH WITH A LONGISLAND ACCENT?

Am I missing something with this grade level? One of the most talented grades in a while yet top teams are a mess. O’Sullivan almost beating Wiener (props to O’Sullican though!). Top Guns barely being top 50 and losing almost every game this year to go on to finish the summer playing teams like rush? Then we have Ohana and Lax On who are trying to create new teams with leftovers never having a 24 Long Island group before. It’s almost like these companies have no regard for their players futures. Lax on and Ohana have no track record with this age group and you have both of their programs opening dropping their info for tryouts and their emails on this thread. You also clearly have some posts not being posted- which I’m sure this will also have an issue with.

These programs will have kids with no rapport and one of them will just spend all the tuition money hiring videographers. If you talk to any top ten coach there is very very little chance they will be looking at those new programs. They’re looking at established clubs that have been a round for a while and have a good track record. If you care about your kid, I don’t understand why you would move to some of these programs but I also can’t grasp what is happening at some of the ol’faithful clubs that have been strong for years.

Can someone explain it to me? Some of the decision making here goes against all things I know about lacrosse politics.

Top guns, flg, and YJ are gonna get a shock this year when they lose kids

Isn’t Ohana lindenhuest kids ?

They will not be losing kids to unproven teams! 2024s are going into recruiting year next year. They Would be foolish to go to a “start up” at this point. New clubs should focus on younger age groups

Heard TG is getting a stud

Also heard top guns is losing a bunch of kids because they’ve lost every game this summer except when playing D teams

Fake news, in fact TG will be much improved. A few new girls are coming over who will be game changers, including one of the best draw specialists in the grade. TG has been doing a great job with recruiting, and being on a team with coaches who are actively involved and knowledgeable is of utmost importance.

Smiths must be in your pocket if you’re this delusional

Looks like all three players that made both Under Armour and American select have chosen American select. No brainer! Most of the top girls from Maryland chose American Select as well.

Now that’s funny!
I m sure they are actively recruiting for Hofstra
Lol

Keep telling yourself that, then look at the ‘22 commitments and soon to be ‘23 commitments. The you can check yourself. Sad that you have to put down a program to make yourself feel better. Not every girl at any program has their choice of schools. They go where they fit in. Would you honestly put down a girl on your team because she to a lesser school than your daughter? You have serious problems, and by the way, my daughter is a first tier recruit, and I am happy for all the girls on her team and on other teams for their choices.

Fake news? TG '24 already has 2 players who put the ball in the net and it seems that they will be getting a few game changers on both sides of the field. For a relatively new group of girls playing together they may surprise a lot teams. My daughter and three of her teammates will by trying out and hopefully playing.

I hope it works out for you. So late in the process and I guess you might as well roll the dice!

What is NYS Regionals? Is that the new grab that took absolutely every kid that wanted to play? In the big scheme of things does it mean anything? That's not to say that half of these mean anything. Especially after last year's UA and this Year, forget it there is a handful of girls that anyone knows. We are completely shocked about the choices made last year's disaster of a coach/evaluator big mouth who has poisoned the game! I may be mistaken about NYS Regionals and If I am I apologize to everybody!

It was a lot of fun for the girls! Great warmup for the American Select. Most of the top players that made the AS were at this event. Same Coaches for both events make it worth it for the top players.

Saw some of the top players from LI at NYSR. LI did awesome and the girls looked great. Great opportunity to represent. I think It’s the new “Empire games”? Which for anyone who remembers… was a big deal. Considering NY is a hotbed for Lacrosse. It was a great event, run very well and great facility. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Kudos to the organizers, well done!

She was let go from YJ

It seemed very favored towards one club as usual

How do you know?

My daughter was on her team

How were teams picked?

I heard a little rumor that Tilts called in a favor during the tryout for her girl that made it

I think it’s good coaches are pushing for their players
