What would you like to talk about

Why do you care so much? Is your daughter playing on Jesters?

Why can’t this be a curious question? If they were somehow able to field a whole team of “A” or “AA” team it would likely mean that another higher level team suffered a big loss. If you don’t have the new roster for your daughters team you won’t know if it impacted her team.

It is also an interesting thing. New A teams don’t just form out of nowhere. Sheer curiosity. Do you think those talking about who’s better FLG or YJ are only parents of players on that team. It is a forum to discuss lax stuff. What topics should we be talking about?

First of all, there is no such thing as an AA team. A marketing ploy. Lots of smoke and mirrors in that organization.

Lots of clubs, boys and girls, have 2 strong teams, one always stronger, but most would be happy to be on either. Don’t get caught up in AA vs A vs B, etc. Is your kid happy, most importantly, being trained the right way and around good people.

YJB should be much improved this year as a few quality non-YJ girls are set to join and about 4-5 YJA girls dropping down. Eventually will be similar to 2025 Spallina and 2025 Janelli.

Not sure about YJA girls dropping down. A few non-starters already moved to Jesters.

A few?

Is that how they made this 4th team? Took a group from YJ?

Only know of 2 who moved from YJA and one from YJB. All moved to top jesters team (black).

Incorrect

No one knows anything. All speculation.

Even if some things are true. We all know everything will chance once YJ tryouts are done.

Who is the top “B” teams? Do they accept most kids that tryout?

YJ and FLG are probably the most selective with B teams. Most others don’t make cuts. Clubs like Jesters with multiple teams will gladly take your check and put your kid on a team. Even YJ has a C team for overflow.

Yes clubs like FLG are so selective that they don't even have a 26' team..selective, ha. All clubs make the best A team, followed by the best B team and so on. C teams or even D teams exist for a reason, there is a demand for it.

I am not an FLG parent but I think it is safe to say that their B team can beat most other B teams. Having a ‘26 team has nothing to do with it.

This is a joke right?

Nope

What part do you think is a joke? Just my opinion.

FLG has never been a top club. Extremely overpriced, and they do not deliver on commitments. No way an FLG B team is beating other B teams. Don’t even think their A team would.

FLG is a joke

I think the YJ “B” team either beat the FLG “A” team or tied them at one of the tournaments this summer.

FLGs B team is not very strong, wouldn't say their A team is a joke though 8th in the country... not bad.

How was the turnout at YJ tryouts?

Decent amount, but felt like less than last year. If I had to guess i'd say 110ish, but at least 20 of them had no legit chance to make any team.

For me, it was more about who wasn't there than who was. A couple of the better B girls and 1 or 2 A girls didn't even try out.

How is that possible when 2027 tryouts have been postponed until tomorrow???

I thought tryouts were moved until Wednesday? Are you just making this up?

Yes there were YJ, Jesters, FLG, Legacy ...... trying out for other teams who cares it's about the girls not the Clubs.

This is why u can not believe half of what is written its all

Let's get back to the real purpose of this page the 13yr old girls playing a came they enjoy and just might want to continue playing through College if they are good enough.

Exactly. This plus some parents still need to understand that results in travel lax don't matter. Who cares about ClubLax or Inside Lacrosse rankings?

Reality is that some girls on YJA won't get D1 offers, but some kids on Legacy and other "second tier" clubs will. Travel should be 100% about development and showcasing your skills.

Fall Draw schedules out today. FLG playing in a C group against 3 teams ranked outside top-50.

Not sure how 3 12-goal wins is going to make that team better.

12 goal wins keep them in the top 10

it won't....same old story can't/won't get them into consistently good tournaments - wins don't matter, consistently playing top competition does

Because 8th grade computerized lax rankings are meaningful.

I get it if they don't want to play in the top group. But to play one group below Legacy White, really?

Where is the Fall draw info? Can you post the link please?

Who cares about FLG. It’s Lax On’s year. Feel the Teal!

I think this person is looking at 2021. i do not believe any of the fall tourny's have posted their schedules. Please Fact not Fiction
