downside of one goalie and two subs.

starting next year they go to one team with 35 girls and rotate who attends per tournament

Not true. They will have two teams -- Navy and Yellow at the 25-27 age groups. Only age group with one team is 24s and that is because many of the committed girls no longer want to focus on club.

Where can I see results for Stick for Suzanne?

Not really all teams go with small rosters, Really feel bad for the kids that are all in on that team, they should move on.

Wasn't it a 7v7? Or did they go full-field this year?

Some sick people sitting home desperately trying to find results for a laid back charity tournament they weren’t at!!

12 on 12 this year. But in reality. It’s fall ball. Who cares. The kids played and had fun

Great day, great tourney. YJ beat Jesters but close game. Liberty black backed out so teams only had 2 games.

Why is that sick? I asked because I would like to follow a certain team that we are considering moving my daughter to. Seems like I struck a nerve.

Stinks when a team backs out. Glad it was a success.

Agreed. If my daughter was on that team and we backed out of one of the biggest fall tourneys, I would be beyond pissed. Curious if they will back out of Fall Draw the weekend before as well.

“Liberty Black backed out” OR had previous commitments by their players and were NEVER signed up. So played a game that evening.

But like most posts on this site, just make up whatever fits your agenda and go with it. Once again, this site is GREAT for entertainment, but if you are a parent or player looking for guidance on what is good for your future, find people you respect who have been through the process and talk with them.

From their website genius….”NOTE: 2027's will be going to 1 rotating rosters of 30 - 32 players for the 2024 Summer Season**

Didn’t half of Liberty Black’s team leave?

Honestly, I think everyone has a bias (positive or negative). Looking at game results and catching a game or even a practice if you can is the best way to get a feel for a team. People on here get weird about answering simple questions. If the results are listed online what’s the harm
In answering where someone can see it? There have been a ton of questions about Jesters and if they were able to field 4 full teams. Nobody would answer. If a club is growing getting that info out there should be important. If I went by the website for Jestwrs they only have 3 2027 teams. People need to be less sensitive.

Ummm…nope. A few cuts were made and a few players were picked up. Solid, very athletic team. Thx ex-Liberty parent for stirring the pot.

FLG has at least 3-4 girls that play varsity basketball and another 3-4 that will be playing JV basketball. First practice for JV and Varsity is November 19 and the girls need a specified number of practices to play in first game. They are in a Fall league and playing 2 other tournaments which should be enough for 12 and 13 year old girls that are not of recruiting age and play other sports.

Don’t they have to try out first?

As long as that is what was committed to players and parents when they paid their $$. What it sounds like though is that FLG leadership originally committed to more high quality events to ameliorate parents. If that is true, parents have a legit concern and should be demanding that the club brings in some quality guest players.

Hopefully, FLG is almost telling any of these players who are skipping fall tourneys that once recruiting starts in high school, that fall tourneys are no longer optional.

We talking about practice not a game not a game not a game we talking about practice.

Apparently not!!!

To be fair, with all the summer league basketball games (with full coaching). Tryouts are pretty irrevelevant. Coaches know who they want on the team.

They have some tall athletic girls on that team, can see a few playing high school hoops but half the roster?

Who cares about what other kids or flg is doing, worry about your own kids and team.

It only takes 3 or so kids who can't play a tourney when the roster is a short as that one is and then you can't field a team....

Which Jesters team? I can’t find info if they were able to
field the 4 teams.

Or not a single player left the team from their own decision! Know a few new players who joined this year as well.

Liberty Black seems to be another team out there that girls love playing for. An athletic group that seem to be getting better and better.

Similar with FLG it seems where the team just enjoys playing with each other and avoids a lot of the drama.

Jesters black

What’s going on with Empire????? I have a void in my soul.

Empire is so last year. You gotta Feel the Teal!!!!!

quick poll for all folks with kids at LI clubs

How often during the fall does your club actually practice? And what % of the team actually attends?


Trying to see if our club is the normal or not

Twice a week and only a few no shows per practice

Once and few to none no shows. Sowing practices will go to twice a week.

Find a team that matches your daughter's desire. If your daughter only wants to play lacrosse, find a team that practices two to three times in the fall and all of the girls are committed to that as well.

If your daughter enjoys playing multiple sports and her practice time in the Fall of 8th grade for lacrosse is only one day a week and her teammates have similar schedules, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact some may argue for injury prevention and lack of burn out, that playing other sports is more beneficial.

So some Clubs practice as much as three days in the Fall and some only one, but most competitive programs ramp up in the Spring and expect full participation multiple days a week. But then also remember that most girls in the Spring have a stick in their hand SEVEN days a week with school ball as well.

Don’t always have to buy into more is better. You know your daughter better than anyone. Don’t worry what others are doing.

Boring….BE MORE FUNNY!

High school Winter season starts Nov 14 and it’s a 6 day a week commitment. Will be difficult for middle schoolers playing up to attend a Saturday tourney after that date.

How many lax tournaments are after Nov 14th?

lots of travel kids play varsity sports. It all works out somehow.

As someone who has been through the process, I will sat this.

Once you get past 7th or 8th grade, team practices have less and less impact. Girls get much better from small group lessons and clinics.

I guarantee you that girls who are on clubs like YJ who barely practice once a week will usually be getting more reps a week than many girls on clubs who practice 2-3x a week due to private training for both stick work and speed/strength.

Queen of the Island fall 2022 for 2027 goes to non LI teams…how embarrassing!! Top LI teams drop out/don’t atrend and then stack lower teams and still can’t get it done. At least Legacy represented in their division . Sad day for LI 2027 girls lacrosse.
