Waste of a trip all this way for this mess with the weather

Probably for the best as 3D Frederick tied YJ Spallina. It would be a shame for a little team from nowhere to win it all.

Yikes

Not a good weekend for JS, all his kids lost

3D Frederick reallly? Yikes, not a good look for Spallina

Followed by 7 hours of traffic

3D Fredricks ? Never heard of them but they tied Team King

Yes. Because we were mislead ……. such a waste the past two years A couple. Tourneys and a few practices we didn’t have to pay extra for. How does CR allow this treatment to the top talent.

It’s no longer Spineless’ Team. His Daughter and the 3E director are running it now. It’s Team Blue

Rolling right onto UA tryouts except YJ’s aren’t allowed

who does Spallina steal now?

He is. Coaching UA on the boys side so he will get his girls in there

Then up to Albany

There are a few reasons and they might be good enough or right for some people. The YJ name has meaning. Like it, love it or detest it, it's still true. CR has the best connections in the business, the brand draws talent and talent draws college commitments. Some other clubs make blips on the radar depending on the grade but YJ is the Queen Bee of LI Lax.

Second, JS is a good coach. Any kid who plays for him learns a lot as long as you're in the top half of the roster he deems worth speaking to, or your daughter has really good ears when the top half is being taught. Either way, he does have a lot to offer if you're willing to overlook the downsides.

Lastly, there are the fanboy/girls "My daughter plays for YJ Spallina" - does she? Does she play? "Uhhhh, well, ... she's on the team ..."

These reasons are enough for some parents to hold their nose and deal, or stink up ad nauseam. Mostly the latter.

Come on what were they supposed to do? Weather you are not able to control.

So much jealousy and detest on here, it’s quite disgusting. Especially from anonymous cowards. Amazing that BOTC allows people to identify players and coaches and shred them, endlessly.

Mostly true- you forgot to add the girls who make sure the ball gets to the only 2 that matter.... girls with ability who try to show it don’t play as much as the sheep who just do their job and play together.

Hearing rumors New York State games may not happen is this true

Come recruiting time, the YJ Spallina girls will all be taken care of.

To be fair that is very true I have a few boys that play and both boys teams he has coached and currently coaches hve every player comitted D1 Biggest thing is kids have to play if they are playing a lot where they are smile and stay happy if they aren’t change teams. It’s simple. Don’t get caught in the drama don’t worry about playing with friends and status and find the level they belong at and are going to contribute. One thing I’ve noticed is on the girls side there are so many players on each team Have a great remaining summer

Sorry if I am late on this can someone explain to me the Under Armour vs American Select situation Friends daughter was basically strong armed into committing to other event

Like his boys teams? Your over stating his success there. I’m sure there are some Crush parents that would say otherwise.

He coached at G8 which was a week ago.

When I saw the boys reference I went and looked for Crush and you are wrong here in a big way . I was responding to the earlier one and saw your post 3 to Duke 2 to Michigan 3 to Syracuse 2 to Navy 1 Hopkins 2 Airforce. 2 Princeton I couldn’t find the other ones but I believe that is pretty good.

Select had tryouts before under armour and made two teams in Age groups then forced people to pay within two days and the price tag is very high 700 dollars so it probably eliminates people from under armour Pretty sleezy move to make a lot of money

JS is too busy to coach his "team" but not too busy to anonymously respond on BOTC. He'll show up now to keep his sheep in line.

Who did the 3 committed to Duke play for before they played for Crush? Wasn’t 91. They were developed by 91. How did they wind up on Crush?

It’s the same thing -they were 91 crush on the same team from the time they were little guys. Team 91 top teams all have different names crush shock warriors bandits Wolfpack. Crush is just the one everyone knows because of all the top recruits. It’s a litttle confusing on boys side but run way better

Crush is Team 91.

We a have a goalie for sale after the 3D Fredricks game..

Key word there is boys. He coaches girls.
On the girls side there is no way that coach is going to call another coach for your daughter. You are dreaming if you buy into his promise.

Who is running this

AS is trying to compete with UA because too many are fed up with UA. What they did was not sleezy at all.

Was more surprising more than anything else because I believe the clubs running the new event coaches in UA. AMS Seems legit

Except next year they will be on different weekends.
UA still wins

Correct Spallina girl not girls

JS will get his girls on AU

Agreed

All 3 played Dune Dawgs. They were brought over to 91.

The lack of rescheduling this past weekend in MD was a joke. Half of the '25 teams only got 2 games while the other half got 4. Scheduling certainly could've been altered for Sunday providing each team with 3 games total and then one playoff game. Same amount of total games, just more work for the organizers. Organizers are person if they do not provide a 50% refund to the teams that only got two games but were guaranteed 4. Not a credit, a refund directly to those 15 or so teams that incurred travel, lodging and registration expenses but did not get what was stated. Please advise.
