Ur dopey. There is an A and B team. Basically D1 and D2 get a chance to play for their prospective coaches

There are people who’ll pay $600 and those that won’t.

This whole system is so messed up this year. No legitimacy in the tryouts at all for either event. When my older kids made the UA team it meant something. After going thru this years tryouts and seeing who made the team and who didn’t, I say you’re in for one heck of a weekend as a stunad tries to showcase his C team players that he put on this roster. This guy couldn’t retain his 25 goalie. She ditched him the night before us lacrosse nationals. His team didn’t even know she wasn’t playing. What did he charge his team for that?

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes. The only thing I agree with is that the two events should not have conflicted. Some girls who made both were put in a tough position having to pay the money. On the other hand it’s the same amount of money as two prospect camps. Only difference is that prospect camp money goes to volunteer coaches, not money grabbing clubs. Both teams will be fine, but it’s sad to see that it’s about the adults and not the girls.

American Select is a joke. This coach is horrendous. Never saw such poor coaching in my life. What a waste of time and money! Learn a lesson and do not do this!!

Which region and year?

Believe whatever helps you sleep better at night. We don't know the coaches or those clubs.

I mean, what did you expect? It’s all me-ball. Fine for points(if they can score them) but it leaves lots of ignored/bored middies and attack in its wake. And the coaches are thrown in there. If they do t know your player don’t expect a lot of confidence in your kid.

Pretty sure you are responding to a sarcastic post...

Yes I would love to know which level and region that the coach was horrendous at AS? Please let us know

We are still waiting on one single Truth.... apparently individuals who have been fully vaccinated are getting Covid and Mask Mandates are once again being proposed and or implemented even for the fully vaccinated.

🐑🐑🐑🐑 baaaa baaaa baaaa

Long Island American Select teams do not win an age group championship, make only one finals.

Lots of coaches watching the 23s. They weren’t paying attention to the score seems like a win for the 23s that attended.

A shame that the ‘23 coach didn’t play to win in the semis. He played all the girls equally, some couldn’t catch or throw. Meanwhile the Grizzlies kept their best players on the field the entire game. Guess he wanted to get home faster to beat the traffic!

Looking at the rosters of the Under armour All American, they have some of the top Long Island players on it. Might have something to do with it.

Painful to watch. Ugly lacrosse

The 2023 coach was fantastic! He coached this team with integrity, expertise, and kindness. I suspect I know who this is as I had to hear you during a game yesterday. You sound ridiculous and pathetic and I’m grateful I don’t have to share a sideline w you anytime soon. And are you that dense that you didn’t know CT came into this as nearly an entire travel team? They were exceptional and it was great to watch.

Completely agree.

And “WE” are still waiting on the DAF unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. So, they don’t keep allowing this virus to mutate! Look at the level of fully vaccinated versus unvaccinated that are contracting deathly outcomes from the virus! Open your eyes and find your own “truths”. I’m sure you know people who have been effected by this virus! The spread will continue as long as the ignorance and denial does! So, here’s a few emojis for you, 🦠 🦠 🦠 🦠

I agree! The coach was great! The girls played so hard! All of them!!!! It was a terrific event with loads of coaches! We were very happy!

Hmmmm…..every other team kept their entire starting lineup in the entire game. This tournament was entirely winnable. It’s ridiculous that every other coach put their best players on the field at crunch time. You can’t have two town girls turn the ball over every time the touch it and take 2mph shots and expect to win. This team was supposed to represent LI. If CR was coaching it would have been a different result.

Imagine that? A coach who helped showcase all the members of his team w college coaches in attendance!

Why didn’t the Grizzlies, MD, or NJ coach do that? In the end they didn’t win, but they put their team in the best position to do so. The first 5 games I get that everyone should play. But in the payoffs it should be play to win. LI could have come away with the win if properly coached

Some girls are definitely crossed off the list after their performance! Better off not doing this

Meanwhile…UA girls are cruising and playing to win! Great coaching!

The competition at AS was great! College coaches were there and watching all the girls play. It was about getting seen. Girls played great and had super competition. Was a great event for the girls.

Really? LI is in a super weak bracket in a watered down event. Don’t speak too soon. Still have to get out of weak bracket and play “to win”

I think the LI girls at AS played much tougher comp, right from the start compared to what UA /LI teams seem to have had to face so far.? Especially in the younger age group. Looks like Weak bracket to start at UA for LI girls

There were no coaches there on Saturday. They all left for UA. Did not watch any of the semis, consolation games or championships.

No LI team won this at any age level.
Calm down

Unreal parent complaint. 23 LI coach got team in a position to tie the game late (against CT who blew them out 2 days earlier) and the ball didn’t go in, it happens. If you know lacrosse you wouldn’t be making these statements.

23 coach is the best on LI - you just might not be used to seeing good coaching.

Wahhhh wahhhhh. Supposed to be the best of the best select players in both these events right ? competition is competition. younger teams should have been able to pull it off instead of barely making playoffs, barely. A lot of AS teams were nearly an entire A or B club team. Are you saying your teams would lose like that in your regular club season to that same region? If not that can only mean the key club players were at UA.

The competition was at AS and so we’re the coaches, it’s as simple as that. On average 50 coaches from the top schools were at every game. That’s what it was all about and it was a great event. We possibly could have won if we had only starters play but we were there for the girls to be seen! I’m pretty sure most of the team appreciates that except the one BadPerson bag whom everyone knows who it is.

Should we analyze all the girl’s mistakes? Or just two you personally didn’t want on the field. Gross

Lol, says the Legacy player groupie dad. There’s a reason your team doesn’t win anything and your best player went to UA instead.

I know people who were hospitalized after getting the vaccine. I also know people who contracted Covid after being fully vaccinated. Those are truths.

Ok, so you do know people being affected by this horrible virus!? Hmmm …Are the vaccinated hospitalized people you know on death beds situation or on ventilators?? Plenty of unvaccinated people are - unnecessarily, right now! That’s the “horrible truth” - (unnecessarily in the hospital on a ventilator)

You know a lot of people with Covid. You should be careful.

"Find your own truths" ... in other words just make $#!& up or believe what you are being fed...

You still haven't answered the guys/gals question. What is one Truth that has been disseminated from the day that this virus was released on the world?

DENIAL

Not true
