YJ Nassau kids BOLTING in all age groups. Nassau side of the program has zero good things to say

Fake news

I’ve heard the same issues about him.

But ....Friedman is probably one of the best coaches and team on long island so you shookd definitely give it a shot as well as howley if your in Nassau county

You’re going to argue that a female coach for young girls is not a better fit? A woman players can look up to as a role model to played the sport ? I think any club would benefit from current or prior female players coaching them.[/quote]

I definitely agree with this. We are fortunate for our 29 teams that we have female coaches on staff that are role models for our daughters. Some are parent-coaches and perform both roles equally well. There is nothing worse than any coach who does not display sportsmanship or class.
Watching the behavior of the 2029 91 coaches at Lax 4 the Cure is not what I would want for my daughter. The constant berating of officials, behavior towards the opposing coaches, and the over-dramatic sideline reactions were on full display for all to see. I can not imagine having young girls being exposed to this multiple times a week for a year. What is worse is that the female coach was pretty much the source of these antics.
Wins and trophies do not mean anything if our daughters are not around positive role models.

I know exactly what you're talking about as I have witnessed the 91 coaches as well . 91 breeds [Censored] even with their boys teams so not surprising at all . And it teickela down to the parents as well . Horrible

It has trickled.down to the parent sideline as well lol...parents walking around saying they beat YJ (lie) they tied Friedman, saying they beat too guns but they never even played them . Embarrassing coaches and parents

You realize you contradicted yourself and made no sense. No argument about 91 and their over-stimulated male coaches. BS just waiting for call from YJ and he will leave. In your same opinion you stated you agree and are fortunate that your 29 teams have female coaches. But then say the 91 female coach was the source of the antics. Good coaches are good coaches period. I understand you are new to the wlax club scene, but keep your sexist opinion to yourself as your child may be missing out on better coaching due to your uneducated opinion.

200 girls signed up for YJ 2029 tryouts that will take place on Wednesday.

That can’t possibly be true can it?

I hope YJ creates a 4th team...Eastern & Western Suffolk teams would be great.

Fake news.

completely false

More like 100 or so there. I wonder how many missed out due to the tryout being rescheduled.

Jesters had over 150 easy. It is very possible especially if kids didn’t make the teams they wanted to at their current clubs and are now looking for better options

No worries if 200 really showed up to tryouts there will be 8 teams.

Jesters black, YJ Friedman and Top Guns all added to their A teams . Those are by far your top 3 long island teams now . Nobody comes close

You can not leave 91 Roar off of this list. Despite the antics of their coaching staff, they have a solid lineup. They haven’t played all of the teams mentioned but are still reigning Queens of the Island by beating a multitude of other LI programs. However you have to wonder how long the team will stay together as they don’t play use their full team during “important” games. Championship t-shirts feel hollow to families when your daughter is not playing.

Correct - as it is in almost ever age group

They will stay off the list when they beat one if the above mentioned teams which they have not . As stated here before ....91 is not a good girls club and never will be . They can call themselves whatever they want they're just not a good club . Beating horrible teams doesn't make you one of the best teams .

91 roar best YJ 29 A at lax for the cure.

I was there… 8-5.

Never happened. Fake news . They tied . Sad that you make things up

Fake news ....they tied

YJ Friedman got even stronger after tryouts ....nobody comes close

What travel clubs have High School aged coaches other than Jesters ? I’m new to this and it seems young to have any experience to run a team.

Not “fake news”, they tied at Queen of the Island and 91 best YJA at Lax for the Cure.

Your a clueless [Censored]. 91 beat yj 8-5 @ lax forcure. But keep knocking 91 - they will run the LI table this year

Spallina it’s time to retire from the forum

Run what table ....the weak table aka their own "my lacrosse tournaments ". 91 plays weak teams . Friedman added talent . Friedman is the top team on long island and just got stenger . 91 will stick to blowing out B teams and losing every game when they go to Maryland

Run from 91. All you are doing is paying for the overstimulated coaches kids to get trained. They will leave when YJ calls. 91 has zero next level connections.

Agreed. 91 beats bad teams 18-0 in their weak my lacrosse tournament and everyone is happy and the parents tell people their the best team in the country lol….then they go out of state and lose every game , a lot of girls don’t see the field and they leave crying . Doesn’t sound like a good team by any stretch of the imagination

Can bash 91 but let’s be factual at least. IF they have talent they will not have issues w connections. YJ has as many people unhappy as happy- and that’s not unexpected for the top program, goes same for 91 boys side. All the bashing just seems likes nervousness that another program may provide some competition. And no they won’t compete overnight- but if the same training, enthusiasm, recruiting of good female AND male coaching continues for a few years 91 will have a bunch of very good teams. They won’t be YJ and that’s ok

Wrong…if your girl is serious about playing lacrosse in college etc….she needs to be with a top program. That’s a fact. For example, people on here will joke about YJ making 8 teams . But YJ commits 60 girls every year from their teams whether it be the A, B Suffolk, Nassau or whatever else they call themselves. And that is another verifiable fact. So while 91 may win a game here and there they are not recognized as a top girls club by anyone except their parents and coaches .

Well said, I couldn't agree more.

The latest joke from the 91 organization otherwise known as dynamic sports is the created a girls " national team ". What exactly is a national team, did girls try out from all over the country for your "national team " because in the real world a national team is a team that has the best players in the country on it . Stop trying to take me oney from parents with your fake national teams lol. Can't make this stuff up.

Nobody said they are recognized as a top girls program today. If a player is good enough they will get recruited. And right now many believe the training and coaching at 91 is better- can go bavk and forth about that but people feel that way. I personally don’t care about wins or losses- care about player development. Also not arguing past recruiting success

Correct "they" wont be......but the 91 coaches kids will be YJ soon.

History will repeat itself...91 girls will leave for YJ . Just ask spallinas brother who took his daughter to YJ and other girls followed and the 2025 91 girls team collapsed. Girls had to scramble to find another club .

I get player development. You may not care about wins and losses, but players do, even those at the youngest of ages. It's always a balance. No one stays at a program with great training that doesn't win.
