BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2025-10th Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to 10th Grade Girls (2025 Grads) for the Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Season.

Reposting last post from previous SY:


I have heard different stories of her age. Doesn’t matter. Still should change the rule to be more like all other sports. Your born in 2006 you play with kids born in 2006. Would stop the ridiculous reclassing.

holdbacks didnt win that game

lack of team play and coaching did

Long Island embarrassing themselves at the American Selects with three teams. Yes Spallina isn’t there and that would’ve certainly made a difference but like we discussed months ago, ridiculous to put in three teams especially b,c and d teams. One team had 10 total goals. And it wasn’t the d team.

My daughter returned from American Selects. Was a fun experience. Played 7 games. All but one competitive. They had four brackets, 2A and 2B. Not one college coach looking at 2025's which was expected. There were a ton of coaches the first two days looking at the 24's. All in all it was worth it for my daughter. She had a ball. Some of her teammates went to UA and had similar things to say.

For the 2026 parents perusing this site for next year. Expensive, but worth it for my daughter on a personal, fun level, not a return on investment level. Then again, none of these money grabs during Freshman year are worth in on a ROI level. They get experience and play good lax.

Who cares if they are unhappy. Don’t do UA. Play AS next year.

AS and UA are not club affiliated team tournaments people can spend their money however they choose. We chose AS because we were basically forced to pay w tryouts in fall not knowing UA
. Both events seemed similar. Speaking with others our problem was organizers of these events choosing to compete and putting kids in the middle of this. AS also allowing areas to have 2/3 teams per age group took away the shine in an effort to really cash in.

Agreed not sure the reasoning for overlapping events as it is the kids are pulled in too many directions Always comes down to making money and people not knowing wonder if either event moves

AS started out as the best of the best. but they watered it down the second year with multiple teams for several areas. This can only get worse, as they can see the amount of money they are making per team!! 22 kids at $600, that's another 13,200, take that and multiply it by 3 for Long Island. That's $36,600 bucks.

$695 to register for tournament.
$150 for tryouts.
Multiple teams in some regions because the yj and steps organizers can make serious money.
They don’t care about anything and or anyone else as long as the sheep believe these things create high D1 players.

there were some college coaches watching 25s for some of the bigger game and playoffs. (there weren't at midline) Nowhere near the number watching 24s. Stood next to Duke Assistant and BU head coach during semifinals

I’m sure they were socializing waiting for a 24 game to start. No way they are looking at 25 intently yet.

Same. Daughter made it to the championship game. Not one coach watching any of her playoffs. Only coach I saw at a 2025 game watching was Princeton.

Yup, only watching 23 and 24. No interest in 25 until next summer.

AT AS we did see some Coaches watching the 25 from the end lines. They were packed at the the 24s for all level teams abc

OK, this is supposedly when they start recruiting this age group. Let's see if we have this right. Daughter keeps practicing. Go to two to three fall clinics at Colleges. Email coaches from schools she's interested in. Go to tourneys in the fall, hopefully she plays well. Continue to email coaches. High School. Then summer club, camps/clinics and showcases. $$$$ Did I miss anything. =)

You can cut out the fall prospect camps If your a 25. They will be working on 24s. Start ur emails. Go to 1 or 2 college prospect camps in Dec/Jan if you want D1. Keep emailing each month. Send short videos. Next summer play well. Keep emailing and attend As many prospect camps that your kid will do at her top choices. (2-4)

See there are informative posts on this forum. Thank you.

Ok so the legacy second team just folded and it leaves about a dozen girls scrambling for teams. What teams are there in Suffolk county that need players?

Maybe Jesters, they are better than legacy as a whole, but will develop kids with raw talent.

That stinks. YJ still has tryouts coming up and maybe call Jesters, TG to see if any has any open spots and they may give you a tryout. Can’t hurt to ask.

Team91. Contact Jill Pfeifer.

Yellow jackets will make an “E” team.

Team 91 girls tryouts aug 16 6-7:30 half hollow hills east hs

.

They don't even develop what they have, unless you pay to train with the coaches outside of club activities.

There is some bad info here. Coaches will certainly start watching 25s this fall when they can. As a 24 parent, we had coaches at all our events this fall. You’re also definitely going to want to start hitting prospect days as going forward many will start to overlap, so get them in when you can

When you are emailing the coaches, in regards to a short video, is this highlights of the season? Or do you also send training videos, working out, skills, wall ball etc?

I suggest focusing on season highlights, and adding the other stuff only if it’s unique, short, and impressive. I think the other stuff was more important during COVID when there wasn’t a lot of game footage.

why where jenelli & lomo fired ?

parent complaints ?

This should be good

Who said they were fired?

Lomo moved out of state a while back. You are just here to start the gossip and stir the pot.

Is anyone attending the Elite 88 showcase on Columbus Day? Curious to thought as whether its a quality well-run event.

Sure they will be like every other Showcase for 2025s has been the last few years until this summer. A big money grab.

Pass on that. Instead go to a winter prospect camp on campus at your top 2 choices. Much more bang for your buck and time well spent

the real story would never get passed the mods

Of all the grades on this forum, 2025 post one of the least amount of times. Does that mean they have less parents living through their kids than the other grades? No one ever posts on this grade level. IDK

you must have the inside track...

The 2024 thread was pretty dead for years, and then the fool hit as recruiting approached. I'm guessing the same will happen here.

unlikely

there are just teams you cant mention anymore that ruined it

two years ago the forum was a sewer
