cliquey....if you did not have TV kids you would not win .

I am a 3V parent and someone is definitely stirring the pot. First of all, we never refer to ourselves as "TV" which is a huge clue someone else posted that. Secondly, we would never post something so obnoxious. Our wins were due to a team effort by all the girls on the team. Do not get sucked in by these post and i can assure you there is no connection to the Smith family. Each year the girls have to try out for their spots. Keep in mind that there are other 3V girls that have tried out in the past and made white or purple.

When did 3V become such a hotbed for girls lacrosse? Their so called best player ever went onto a very average 4 years at ND .

Lots of movement from 2020 Black few from that team going over to YJ. Team tired one or two players going to goal mentality and real tired of the Huntington loud mouth daddys who just never shut up!

Hey does anyone know how the teams will be made up this year either by grade or grade and birthdate I just saw a post for title 9 lacrosse and it said current fifth graders born after aug 1st 2002 would be 2021. My daughter just tried out for 2020 based on her grade but her birthdate would qualify her as 2021. Can she still play on 2020 or will they change that? Anyone with any information on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. What will happen now?

TG fields teams by graduation year not birthdate.

I would take ND in a heartbeat. Who ever is getting all over the TV girls have no clue. Thses girls work and train during the winter and not with TG. They are a good bunch of girls that love the sport and happen to be pretty good at it as well. You would love to have thses girls on your team because they would bring a new level that your kid is not used to.

It would actually be better if all LI clubs went by birthdate (like soccer and softball do) rather than graduation year as it would put us on equal terms with the MD clubs.
I mentioned this previously but it still annoys me, but not as much as the MD parents and their holier than thou attitude that made me actually root for the YJ against M&D Black!

I think US Lacrosse passed a rule that all youth lacrosse should go by birthdates similar to soccer two years ago. Problem with going by birthdates doesn't work for the college coaches. When they go to a game to recruit they want to know that every player they are watching will graduate in the same year so they can fill spots that they have opening on thier rosters.

Stir the pot some more... Keep Hating. You are a fool.

Here is what "Average" looks like.

At Notre Dame

Four Year Starter.
Three Time All American.
Two Time Captain.

finished her career at Notre Dame:

first in games played (77), second in goals (162), seventh in points (188), fifth in ground balls (137), first in draw controls (165) and second in caused turnovers (113) ... selected to the preseason Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List.

Go back under the rock that you crawled out from.

When BOTC had our meetings with US Lacrosse about ten days back, their representatives were emphatic that they have made it clear to all of the regional members that birth date based groupings (U-age groups) are what has been recommended. To some extent, US Lacrosse was surprised that we even raised the issue since this discussion is already closed from their perspective.

Clubs that are not following the U-age model are not in step with what US Lacrosse has specifically recommended.

We also asked US Lacrosse representatives why they have gone to a 24-month age group window as opposed to mandating 12-month windows. BOTC was told that the New [lacrosse]/East Coach area could easily support a 12-month windows (every age group) however with the growth of the game limited in other areas of the country, using a 24-month window allows for the creation of more teams and tournaments elsewhere.

So, graduation year would be more likely to pit like age girls against one and other than what US Lax is proposing? US Lax cosistently baffles me with some of their actions/inaction.

US Lacrosse has been explicitly clear that they want tournaments and teams organized around U-age groups and has issued specific guidelines on the construction of those age groups for U/11, U/13, and U/15.

Graduation year and school grades are both EXACTLY what US Lacrosse wants to avoid. This will expunge all of the hold-back and left-back discussions and move to a birth date system. US Lacrosse wants the entire universe to move to birth date validation. College recruitment, showcases, and all related events sanctioned by US Lacrosse will be moving to this model.

To further underscore this point, US Lacrosse has told BOTC that all new player registrations will include birth date. This is precisely why US Lacrosse continues to press High School (Varsity/Junior Varsity) students to have their US Lacrosse registrations remain current.

we found out yesterday. Our daughter made 2019 white.

Did they really start sending emails?

When do you think we'll hear about tryout results? Sunday night?

2019 emails are out

2019 emails are out

Is it worth it to play on the 2017 white team for the Top Guns? Or should a girl play on a "lesser" club's A or B team? Is there any movement potential between white, purple or black?
