Who are you using for trainers?

80 girls there, not true at all

They knew the teams before kids even showed up

that's always the answer when your kid doesn't make a team "Its Rigged" ! Practice more and hit the wall more ! simple .

At this age, the people running it do have an idea of the LI talent. So, true they prob. Had some idea of some of the kids they were picking.

If you believe that it was not a YJ skewed tryout you are a fool. Please be somewhat objective.

honestly it should be te YJ team players because they def have the best players on LI...not all but that team does pretty well so wouldn't you eexpect they make it?

Definitely a YJ skewed tryout. Most girls LAX things on LI is going to be if they are involved. There is also a reason, as most of the top players play for YJ teams. They are in top 5 club in the nation and top club on LI as far as talent goes. The tryout teams will be made up of a lot of YJ players and maybe rightfully so? With that said, I believe the other players needs to be giving a fair evaluation! I don’t think that always happens.

Why are 2026 teams holding tryouts at this point in the year?

You are not being honest.

Every evaluator at the tryout has been or is currently associated with YJ. Including the 2026 coach walking around telling his kids, don't worry you are going to be on the team. I mean you could had tent to stand under that wasn't a YJ advertisement. Be honest.

How good is YJ Gryz? Are they a walk on team?

there ok...they will get better

They are a punching bag for everyone- it’s a team designed to pay for YJ hierarchy summer homes

Is YJ Gryz a 2026 C team or a Nassau A team?

As an outside observer I was wondering how many teams does YJ have at the 26 age group. I’m at tournaments with them and see several teams. Also, what does this team do other than tournaments. In MD the top clubs play in NGLL and have a “season”. Does YJ do something similar?

Long Island has several leagues that they play on YEAR round. And I believe YJ 2026 has 4 teams? One based in Nassau County.

are they all parent coaches...looking for a progrma without

So when they play year round is it with YJ or other teams that only compete in LI?

So if your kid is going to play for a YJ 2026 team, Gryz is not the team you want to be on?

This thread is too quiet…. Can we please discuss TG getting lit up by M&D 15-0. I haven’t seen a beating like that since Tyson knocked out Ricardo Spain in 39 seconds-

It's simple:
M and D: great coaching
TG's: awful coaching

TG just doesn’t have any solid teams outside their 2023 black team. They just can’t pull decent kids to their program.

Nobody cares what you think. Now take your shine box and leave.

this is just a completely ignorant statement

TG's has very good players...they aren't the reason.

No dog In this fight but when you lose 15-0 it’s a collective loss between the players and coaches. True statement the only team this club produced that was legit is the 23 black team.

Why do you care so much? It’s a lacrosse game. All teams take some bad losses. It’s ok…life goes on!

22 Black was the best in the Country.

for now

this quite literally makes no sense

tryouts are soon. Do you think the top clubs are looking for new players for the top teams? YJ tG Jstrs? etc?

Yes! Always! If your daughter shows up and out performs their “stars”, she will be offered a spot. Don’t be intimidated, be ready!

Good teams don’t lose 15-0 ever.
