Weiner beat most of the teams they played, and a 23 parent they looked very good. The level of talent on that team seemed to be unparalleled with the other teams playing on the turf. Kildare lost to Jesters 24 black and jesters 23 black, but beat jesters 23 pink. Seems like jesters 24 pink played lower aged teams and shore to shore who they beat. I think Weiner, Kildare, Jesters 24 black, shore to shore, and Jesters 24 pink were the only 24 teams there.

No matter where you stood for fields 1,2 and 3 you could see all the games clearly and there was some really strong talent from the 24s between Weiner, Kildare, and Jesters black. It was a good day of lacrosse and a chance for all the high school aged kids to get out there and get some time in together before fall tournaments.

Thanks Wiener mom! Nobody from another team would go out of their way to pump another team. Hopefully you’re daughter is as good as you think she is!

Yes we would? Normal parents can judge another team in a positive light.

If you look at Midwest, West or most of the non traditional marketing, American Select rosters were much strong than the UA rosters.

Politics, maybe? But also the two best clubs in the Midwest (Team 1 and MN Elite) had their coaches coaching the teams. In California, it was most STEPs girls, Coloardo was mostly Team180 girls. Connecticut was worst of all where the rosters was 90% CT grizzlies. All player for their clubs coaches.

Once these girls made the American select roster, most players didn't even tryout for UA.

North Carolina Tar Heels head coach has a daughter in the 2024 class. She was at American select.

sAT was not an issue this year. The college coaches look at GPA and gamble. My daughter commited in the first 2 weeks to a big school and was never asked about SAT

Yes you should take early to see where you stand in the SATs, not lacrosse.
A coach will take a chance on you if you are academically flawless because your high scores fullfill the academic index, they now have more room to take less academically advantagednplayers.
So if you have a high SaT score the summer before junior year, coaches will recruit you quicker (if recruitable) vs waiting for January scores to come out

All the Ivies say they don’t but a player has been recruited first because of her AI standing. ND says/not says it as well. Read thru the lines

True, I saw the UNC head coach watching the games at American Selects.

And she was playing for Team Maryland and her M&D Coach, not her home state.

I am shocked Jesters 24 Black beat Kildare. Is something going on with the Kildare team???

The 7v7 def not good representation. Kildare top scorer wasn’t even playing for them. Looked like she was playing on her town/HS team.

‘C’ team top scorer didn’t play?? Wow, thats a new one.

Relying on one person whose a top scorer means that the team is not well balanced. Dependency on one persons presence is not a good sign.

Who cares who beat who. Can’t we just be grateful that kids are even playing anymore? the statement asking about what’s wrong with Kildare is rude towards that team not to mention unkind to jesters for your shock at them winning. Keep your snarky remarks to yourself. Kildare is doing just fine. Jesters outplayed us and that’s ok. No one wins 100% of the time, and there is no need to put down two groups of children because you want to stir the pot.

Agree with this. Jesters has been growing over the past few years and they made some smart business moves grabbing those new coaches and trainers. Kildare had a good summer and although we lost a few good players we will remain a top 50 team. Based on what I saw during the 7 v 7 we are just as strong as last year but it is still early in the season. The teams we played were all class acts as were their coaching staffs and those who ran the tournament. As a parent on the sidelines it was a positive experience for all the kids and that should be our focus for our children, not if we lost a game.

Parents can learn from the girls at these things! I was watching all the girls mingling around the fields, chatting with girls they know from other teams, laughing, taking photos together and looking like they were just having a good time. It’s the parents who are the crazy ones.

So many girls on different teams who are friends and supporting one another. Parents are the ones who cause all these issues between teams and clubs. The girls are fine they don’t care.

Can someone explain to me why tournament directors pair top ranked team (top 20) with teams ranked over 100? How is this fun for anyone? Shouldn't there be some parity so the games are more challenging and fun for both teams? Primetime brackets just came out and I am left shaking my head.

Which teams are misplaced in their brackets ?
