Well YJ did post they are looking for “out of state stars” from all over the country. And yes YJ, along with other programs, have done this before but first time they have publicly asked.

It was called New York State Regional Championship for a couple years before they changed the name to Excelsior Look at it as an opportunity for your daughter to play lacrosse and attempt to secure some bragging rights, and you will be fine Look at it as a recruiting event and you might be disappointed

They are offering a “VIP Experience” with college coaches (actually a pretty decent list)- I guess something like a clinic. But the event is more like just competing region vs region. Not really meant for anything else.

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #444555 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The fact that it’s on LI makes it a home run. No way people are going to Albany for it.

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #444618 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A College coaches are not looking at 2029s. Nothing wrong with this event, but set the expectation going in. You may have a college coach running drills or the sideline but they are by no means writing your name down.

It was empire games a while back, run by someone else, and was boys only. It was a very big deal, a top event. Then something happened (not sure, organizer/sponsor folded/pulled out, something like that) and they stopped having it for a while. Eventually LILJ resurrected it and added girls to it.

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #444724 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The scheduling for the Excelsior games made absolutely no sense at all. There has to be a better way to schedule for all these teams.

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #444968 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Good thing Friedman won the National Championship vs the #19 team in the country because they have a very tough end of the year tournament against the #22, #35, and #38 teams. Must be hard.

I have never seen that with the top LI teams in our class. Out of state teams have disgusting roster practices that can’t be compared to any of your daughters’ teams.

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #445067 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A LI teams double dipping is more of an issue on the boys side. We have seen teams have A kids go down and play on the B team to win tournaments, kids coming from out of state to play, etc. On the girls side there are a few out of state girls playing on LI teams.

Wait a couple years. It won't be a "few" anyone.

All these Maryland teams play each other so often. It makes MD teams better. Why wouldn’t the top long island teams play each other more ?

I get what you are saying but on the occasion LI teams do play each other all I hear on the sidelines is "Why did I drive all the way to Maryland and spend five hundred dollars on a Comfort Inn just to play another Long Island team"

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #445566 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Why don’t they just scrimmage on Long Island? Thats the point - why drive five hrs to get good games.

Re: Girls 2029-7th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #445572 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Give top guns credit for playing 91 couple times this year. YJ unfortunately hasnt played either team since last years QoI debacle. But at least they play legacy and Igloo hahahaha
