BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2029-5th Grade Fall 2021/Summer 2022

I thought 91 looked good too. The YJ game wasn’t very competitive. They won easily. Heroes looked very strong. Two girls were excellent.

Placing blame on refs and “holdbacks” takes away from the work and skill level girls from Maryland clubs have. It is ok we are more skilled and better coached at this point, no excuses.

With this being your first tourney with all the “powerhouses” your style of play is now on the refs radars. I can see more yellow cards being issued against you guys at mid-Atlantic. Our refs allow you to play defense but you have to play within the rules.

I agree that for fifth graders, 91 looked aggressive and the penalties really hurt them in that tournament. How does that change as girls get older? Will they have a leg up as they age and more checking is allowed? As someone who is considering 91 for my just starting out kid, wondering if it is an advantage in later years?

Move on from 91...not a good girls club . They will play in their own weak tournaments and blow people out then they will go out of state and lose against good teams . Happens all the time with the boys . They don't develop. And of course when they lose there is always an excuse " it's the refs " ...." The other girls were older" etc....etc....not a good girls club

If you want to knock the 91 girls program that’s fair. But you lose all credibility bringing the boys side into it. They are top 2 boys program on LI and arguably in the country. And if your argument is development take a look at their college commits.

Top 2 lol......until about 7th grade then they tank because as you get older you can't run through 3 people anymore . Same will happen with the girls . Girls are not even in the top 25 in the country and never will be

If your on this thread im assuming u have a 2029 girl that plays lax. Im also going to assume that she has either lost to 91 A team or not good enough to play the A team. Either way sounds like sour grapes!

LFTC tourney was my first time seeing the 91 team. Pretty good team. But the coaches are an absolute embarrassment to youth sports. Coaching from 10 yards on the field, arguing with the refs and other coaches. Saw them play two games and their coaches got a card in both games.

As many have noted 91 girls sometimes have stronger youth teams but as soon as they hit Highschool all the good ones run. They will soon fall behind again. Having spallina freaking out will make 91 look worse as they get older and parents are going to get tired of the directors and owners of the club getting carded in elementary school gamws

Is it true the FLG team folded?

To be completely honest 91 girls don’t have any strong teams except 2029. The only reason why that team is any good is because Spallina coaches it.

B Spallina is just waiting for the call from CR to join YJ just like J Spallina. BS will take a few of the better girls and the rest will need to fend for themselves. BS is an embarrassment on the sidelines as a coach.

91 2030’s just beat legacy who are solid team

What are your thoughts on the three YJ teams?? Heard the C team coach lost his mind in the LI tourney. How about the A and B teams??

Number 20 on the A team is very good.

Im sure your daughter is great

Congratulations....keep staying there and waiting until the place implodes just like every other 91 girls year . Keep thinking about "winning" while watching your girls not develop and not get playing time in close games . Get a clue

There is one A team (Friedman) and two B teams. The Suffolk B team (Duswalt) has a 'win at all costs' mentality which is why he (Duswalt) "lost his mind". The Nassau B team (Howley) likely has better coaching and plays everyone somewhat more equally. Both B teams have too many players (24+), so the parents are hoping for a 4th team.

Interesting....the almighty 91 team played another weak tournament and then had to go to the last second of a game to beat a town team in the end ? Oh yeah, I would say that the 91 girls team is dominant lol...if that's what you say hahaha

I think the argument should be the opposite- the teams may not be better than the YJ or 1 or 2 others but the time/training is as good as anywhere. *right now. You’re right has imploded in the past but seems to be different now. Time will tell

91 sent only 1 team to girls youth nationals in DE the 13U team. They went 0-3 and were non competitive. This is not a well developed girls lacrosse organization. The 2029 team will fold when BS goes to YJ same as brother did. Go to tryouts for the other respected girls lacrosse organizations.

Actually Incorrect.....YJ has 2 Suffolk (Friedman & duswolt) and 1 Nassau (Howley ) they aren't A and B. Yes , Friedman is the stronger of the 3 and that's why it may be thought of as the A but it technically is not . YJ has chosen to split their teams up with Suffolk and Nassau . Which is unfortunate because they could have one dominant team but instead they have girls split up that are A team players into 2 teams instead . Also unfortunate for YJ is that whole the Friedman team seems to have more of the YJ backing in terms of practice space etc....they will eventually lose girls to other programs if they feel like there are better local options rather than go out east to practice. While their intention was good it has watered down the teams .

then why did friedmans team play in the 'A' bracket at queen of island while the other two teams were in the 'B' bracket? (Probably bc they are b teams)

Rooaarrr.......and that's what happens when you don't play in your own weak tournaments,you go 0-3....boom

You are such a lost. To sit and revel over 11 year olds losing is so freaking lame.

Actually the real lame ones are the sideline coaches/parents of your team . If it weren't for that spectacle on the sideline of your games nobody would really care but you reap what you sow. Can't have it both ways

Coaches are a disgrace. These are YOUNG kids who need role models not coaches who scream, get kicked off, and treat these kids like they’re on an Olympic team. Totally killing the sport for them.

Run very far if that’s your daughters coach. Too young to be subjected to that. At this age it should be about training, learning, getting better . ALL the girls should be playing and developing. That can wait for a couple of more years. Get your daughter in a positive situation. “Winning isn’t everything if you are losing”!

2029s getting benched and screamed at by 91 roar coaches? Kids coming off the sidelines crying in parking lots. Really top notch program

Nah, thats the coach from the suffolk YJ C team.

Too bad this is all anonymous

And team 91 roar...thats a FACT

How many LI YJ teams are there for girls 2029? Are they all parent run teams or paid coaches?
