Long Island played man-down the entire second half, and some of the second quarter. LI actually had the lead before that.

We clearly weren’t watching the same game. Long Island did get 3 yellow cards, but 1 was only served for about 30 seconds as they didn’t come out of the half down because it appears the refs forgot. Baltimore got 1 yellow card. I am not sure how you think Long Island was man down for most of the game

My daughter was not a returner and wasn’t able to even attend tryouts and got an invitation for a team. No one has ever seen her play so I’m assuming they just invited everyone to collect a check

So they just invited whoever they could to fill spots?

No. They got a fourth yellow early in the second quarter and had to play man down the rest of the game. Yes, the LI coaches mistakenly put 12 on the field to start the second half but once the ref realized it they went back to 11.

Also they got a fifth yellow at some point in 4th quarter so they played much of the 4th quarter down 2.

Who cares, LI lost badly to a better team. Please stop trying to make excuses. It’s over

No one is making excuses... somewhat asked what happened... that is what happened

LOL calm down Long Island American Select parent. Just explaining what happened. Congrats to the Baltimore girls, a very talented group who played a great game.

No explanation necessary. The score told the story. Now have your daughter hit the wall, maybe she will be more competitive next year

Another disgruntled triggered daddy lol , relax tiger , it’s a game played with 14 /15 year old girls . You sound ridiculous, giving everyone a play by play

Says the dad reliving his unfulfilling high school lax days through his daughter lol your kid has gotten on the field more than you ever did 😂

Dude let it go !! Go to the Maryland page and pat yourself on the back over there. Your way to involved , I feel bad for your kid . Those long drives home with you critiquing every little thing she did wrong . Must be fun

Truthfully, was the better Baltimore players at UA or AS?

The best MD girls were at AS which makes the loss even more embarrassing for you LI dad

Which 24 teams seem to be in a good place after tryouts ?

Top Guns black lost some strong players but picked a few up from other teams cuts.

Yellow jackets is always strong but Kildare seems to be a mess and a half

Legacy’s A team looks good still.

Jesters had a great turnout and probably picked up some good talent with changes to coaching staff.

Laxon may have offered most players a spot who tried out, but unsure. Don’t want to say with certainty without real insight to back it up. Even if they did, good for them those kids probably could use the intensity those coaches bring and their training style.

91 we all saw how that went as seen on previous comments

Elevate A is about to crash and burn after losing a huge chunk of their roster.

Empire lost some strong athletes.

We know Rush folded and unsure what happened with recon.

Lax on hah director needs to keep her face off Instagram

why is yjk a mess and a half?

What’s the issue with lax on?

How does one person know so much about all of theses teams tryouts and some teams haven’t even had their tryouts yet?

You talk to other parents ?

Just talk to the other parents from your town and they’ll give you the scoop

TG lost or cut a few very average 2nd line players. I there is not 1 strong player that left team Supposedly they picked a super stud draw girl who had playing up with the top ranked TG '23 team. Just to playing with TG '23 team automatically strengthens that '24 team tremendously. They have Shannon Smith and proven record. That's why we to try outs Also heard they picked excellent players from YJ & Legacy.
YJ are starting to lose their shine. I wouldn't that route if I were you but that doesn't leave much more in the '24 age. You may want to look into Legacy? I hear program is strong not sure about'24's. You can wipe Jesters off as a possibility. They spend all of their time on coach and daddy's daughters team '23. No history at all with college and recruiting. And all of they can continue to hire all the HS coaches in the world isn't going to help your daughter and their 25 team program. They have so many working pieces and teams that anyone coaches for them.
I think Liberty has a girls team although you wouldn't know for sure because no one has ever seen them at tournaments or anywhere else!? That being said Liberty is probably not the best option if your daughter has talent.
Where does that leave you? YJ has A, B,C and D teams so I'm sure she would be a great fit for at least 1 of those teams. Best of luck to you and your daughter!!

If you sit back and wait for someone to give you info, won’t happen. Take the initiative and investigate. Not that hard really

What’s your daughters top guns jersey # lol

If you are a strong player and want great coaching Shannon Smith is excellent. If you aren’t strong go to a weaker club. Depends what you are looking forward. She’s one of the best.

Tilts livin up to the reviews so far with jesters. She’s already contacted my daughter and us and helped her get set up with recruiting and has made them a dated schedule with training videos from her clinics I for one am impressedd

It's so sad that the club system has become so bad that doing your job gets praise. It's not rocket science. Communicate!! Treat families with honesty. Treat them as customers/clients. (The are spending a lot of money for a service). Give options, don't fomo them into doing things they may not want to do. Focus on training! Practices are the only way to develop individuals and teams. Do these few simple things and families will be happy and the drama meter drops way down. Thank you Coach T.

Isn’t she kind of mean to kids ?

LI played down a player for 3 quarters and some of the game 2 players down. Was winning 3-1 after first quarter. Within of the 3 minutes 2nd was playing a man down the rest of the game…refs stink or bias, pick 1.

Someone should send to her thanking her. Not many coaches doing this anymore

How are the kids who chose to stay with ninety one making out?

Most of us have been doing this for a long time now. When, if ever, were Long Island teams treated fairly in Maryland? Never. They don't like the way we play. The joke is, if anyone has ever watched a college game it's like LI lax, not MD flop lax.

This Maryland LI rivalry is getting old

Does she have a parent assistant?

As long as 91 gets a capable coach to fill the spot they’ll be fine

It’s two parents running their A team

Or a dad parent as a “co-coach” , who’s the head coach

The “A” team is the equivalent of the YJ C team
