are you are happy maget and that low talking creepy guy is coaching your offspring ,

Not sure what creepy guy you are referring to, but not nearly as creepy as you defending the grownups (may be yourself) trying to rank 11 year olds on a public forum anonymously.

This is funny, Comparing YJ Maget 28 to Jesters lol lol .. Maget tied MND last summer, lost to Coppermine 9-4.. There clearly top 5 in the 2028…

YJ 28 LOMO has never beaten YJ Maget… EVER!!! Maget clearly the best 28 in the TRI State!!

Agreed. The only non-MD team in their league is Aces.

Maget tied M&D in a showcase tourney (Live Love Lax) but got their doors blown off during a championship tourney (Lax for the cure). M&D Coaches generally play evenly during showcase tourneys.

no

Pretty sure jesters lost to coppermine by 1 and m&d by 2-3 in the fall. Not sure how that makes them so far behind maget.

Majet just lost to liberty last weekend. They aren’t top dog anymore.

fake news

yj was missing players including an out of state stud who is the best player on the team by far

scores will look much different in real tournaments this summer

bringing in out of state 'studs' at 11 years old - amazing

id venture to guess the clothes she got for her 11th birthday are no longer in style and shes not the only one on that team

things are evening out

you see it in the scores

How are you YJ Maget parents good with the out of state stud?

I am sure she isn’t practicing with the team >50% of time. I am sure she plays for another travel team (lacrosse monkey). Meanwhile you are required to have your kid at every practice/clinic/team event all of fall/winter/spring. Then book hotels, drive to MD/NJ/PA, then watch your kid get benched? All that work for what??

Does it seem worth it for a drawstring bag or t shirt, except when she doesn’t show up?

Fake news!!

We didn’t lose, the game ended and liberty was up but we never lost. Nobody good showed up, especially our hand picked player that we fly in for games. Liberty couldn’t have scored more than we did in that game because we are clearly the best team in the Tri State. You wait until another tournament comes up and we can give more excuses then.

Some one please check on our out of state players flight. Please don’t be delayed - we have to win!!

How were they missing players for this game but not one before or after? Their out of town player was in town, she’s in all their pictures.

I love how YJ parents freak out so early when things look a little shaky… tourneys start next week, take a deep breath- you will all be fine. No need to hit panic buttons bc of “queen of the island”

Hey, EagleStix just won NGLL Championship. Beat Aces twice and MND once.

Great wins for Eaglestix. Looks like M&D, Aces and Eaglestix all had a few one goal games with each other, so that’s a very good showing for Eaglestix. Looks like they are all evenly matched. Great for the 2028s.

saw her play with my daughters rec league team shes THAT good and will make your kid look better

worth it

Amazing, you should be encouraging your team not to depend on one player. Who cares about scores! It’s about development at this age. Girls need to be playing to be developing. Get better with each loss until you win. Too young to be focusing on the win and not the playing.

No “one” needs to make your kid “look” better at this age! No one is watching! Kids should be playing and developing and getting better. You get better with playing in real games. Perspective people. 10 year old girls are not being recruited !! They ALL need to be playing. Regardless of egos needing a win.

It is when you don't win it.

1. Jesters
2. Liberty
3. Legacy
4. YJ Maget
5. YJ Lomo

Wow. Are there any actually parents here associated with YJ or jesters?

The player in question did play last weekend. She started some games, but not all. Don’t remember if she started the liberty game but she did play.

Is she the best player on team? In terms of raw technical skill, probably. In terms of lax IQ or athleticism? Not even close.

We lost because of too many unforced turnovers and poor transition defense. All fixable problems.

It’s good to have multiple good teams on long island. Congrats to jesters. I know we will see you against.

To be fair, Maget isn't playing in top group in Lax By The Sea.

The coaches likely know this isn't their strongest team. Most likely will get jesters again in the semi finals as they should cruise through their group.

best 2028 period, not just on yj [ChillLaxin]

size and brains

Maget beat Jesters 6-4 today. Legacy lost to Lomo (7-9) and to Liberty (5-6) at Queen of the island. Liberty lost to Legacy in the Fall.

So, I'd say Maget, Jesters, Liberty, Lomo, Legacy....

Wonder when the USClub updated ranking would come out...

I agree with your rankings. Maget is currently the #1 team. They are beatable due to the fact they so reliant on rosega. She is very good. Does help when they are in lower bracket with little to no resistance for the first three games (12-0/9-4/13-6). They didn’t face any of the tougher team until after they battled through their early games with
a-level bracket. An obvious advantage. Not to take anything away, they did win but easy to sit back while the top tier tire themselves out against stuffer competition. Then they come in fresh.

Would like to see them play fresh legacy/hero’s/monsters/jesters. Would see where they truly rank.

I am a legacy dad if anyone is wondering.

totally logical once you ignore the fake blowout loss to liberty from a few weeks ago

I would not call it a "fake" loss. A loss is a loss. I'd say they are consistently winning more than Liberty and Jesters. But at this age, there can be so much growth within a few months, so I would not read too much into rankings.

Does anyone know who owns Long Island LAX Journal and who makes decisions on who gets picked for the All-Long Island Games?

Who ever picked the team should do better research. Seems like YJ submitted 80% of their girls and then they filled in the rest with majority of Suffolk, then Nassau. 3 waves of picks.

I know LI Jesters only had 3 girls asked (should have been much more given they are clear #2 team talent wise).

For example, if you saw the Jesters goalie at lax by the sea. She probably a top 2, if not the best goalie for 2028 on the island. She was snubbed.

It doesn’t really matter at this age, but if you are looking to declare the best talent then do your research.

Good luck and congratulations to all the ladies that were picked.

Wink owns it but Herbie Versmelz over there helps him put the teams together

They pick the teams only from girls who attend their events and camps - it’s not like they are scouting games. Don’t put much stock in it beyond a fun thing for the girls “selected”

Wink as in Winkoff? Why do you say "not scouting". The website states that they scout. Not disputing just wondering if anyone has first hand experience.

Nobody is scouting 2028's at various tournaments....they "scout" them at their camps which you have to pay for therefore many very good if not better players are left off

How many spots open on M&D 2028?

2028 too early for list anyways!

What?

Of course it is …any list before high school age is garbage
