Stay away from the AU Futures. There last year with my older daughter and was absolutely worthless.

Someone’s kid didn’t make the AU team…

Would be shocked by that. Don't even think there were 18 27s at the tryout.

Yep. She didn’t make it. I was lying that we were there last year. You got me.

That would be because the 2025s and 2024s that went last year realized it was a total money grab. No coaching whatsoever. Good photo ops with the AU players. That’s about it. And they came back and told their clubs that.

But can’t give your opinion on this site without the usual sarcastic responses by the same keyboard warriors.

Keyboard god…thank you very much!

By looking at the girls online who signed up, looks like about 1/3 TG, 1/3 YJ and one third girls who my daughter didn't recognize except for the star of Liberty.

Where can you see who signed up?

After you sign up you are placed on the NY team in leagueapps and you can see other players.

Does anyone know anything about the LILJ Long Island Games. Is that a money grab?

It's all a money grab. Welcome to the stink

Yes. its a way LILJ encourages kids to attends its clinics. It nominates the "best" players to play in this "select" tourney.

anyone know who was coaching NS Elite this weekend? Offense looked good, much better than the YJ offense that 2/3 of the team plays on.

We're very happy with Legacy. The 2027 coach is excellent. Lots of practices. We have room to grow.

Hope that helps.

Legacy has always been great at player development. Challenge is getting their top players to stay

Agreed. But I think that has been trending downward these past few years with the younger teams. With 2027 specifically, I don't think it will be an issue. The Bayport assistant coach took over the team in the late fall and is super competitive. I think he'll do a good job of keeping the top tier parents and players happy.

So how does it work? Your kid gets selected and you pay to play against other kids who were selected? How many kids/teams at each age level?

Your kid gets nominated. Most say yes, but with saying yes you are also paying more money to play into something else. It doesn't really matter, yet or at least at this age. It's kind of political, kids picked from all teams to keep all clubs happy, not necessarily the best players.

If you really don't know about travel, talk to the local parents in your town. See who plays where. If you are planning on starting travel now (7th going to 8th) it's going to to start getting a bit crazy. Parents are nuts. Find a club that is good for your kid.....or just get your kid private lessons and do lots of wall ball. If she can catch and throw very well, she'll play. There are way more school teams than travel teams, so the talent level really drops in school.

Where does Legacy practice?

Varies a bit, but mostly fields in/around East Islip, Bay Shore

Does legacy only have 1 27 team now? Saw they are only entering white (B team i think) into Queen of the Island.

Two teams. Blue and White. The blue team is doing all their tournaments off LI 🥲

Blue practices at the East Islip Marina and Bayport HS. I do not know where the white team practices but most teams practice at the marina.

Why do all the good A teams only play off of LI when there are great A teams on LI. Couldn’t there be a compromise like half on LI, half off?
I think some of these teams coaches don’t want to play the other teams.

There’s not enough good competitive teams to just play on Long Island. Top teams need to travel. Even the Maryland teams will travel.

Queen of the Island is this weekend. Both YJ teams will dominate.

Both?? Ugh here we go again

somebody warm up cold takes exposed

Law of contrapositives states differently for the Gaghan squad.

If FLG beat Liberty Black then FLG is better.
If FLG beat Tradition then FLG is better.
If Tradition beat Gaghan then Tradition is better.
Therefore there is a high likelihood that Gaghan gets throttled by any team in the field.

By the way, Tradition also beat Stadler too.
It'll be
1. Stadler
2. Gaghan
3. FLG
4. Tradition
5. Liberty

Tradition didn’t beat Stadler

Tradition did not beat YJA but they did tie them....

FLG beat Gaghan by 10 In The Spring league and has beaten Tradition every time they have played.

No will be

1. YJ A
2. FLG
3. Tradition
4. Liberty
5. YJ B

YJ B/Gaghan may beat Liberty, but would be shocked if the top 3 didn't finish in this order.

Has Liberty picked up some girls since the fall? They looked dramatically improved today.

Not enough to beat the YJ B team or FLG. Silly Liberty dad. Face it they aren’t the team they once were.

How Tradition vs YJ A team go?

YJB vastly improved.

FLG dad not liberty dad. That team was much improved.

Forfeited

Don't read too much into results. Girls who are still playing with their high school teams couldn't play. This is likely why some of the YJA games were closer than you would expect.
