BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Top Guns Lacrosse

Thank you for your concern on how this is working out for my daughter . My daughter knows that there aren't any big games at this time in her life. She plays with this team because it gives her a great opportunity to develop different aspects of her game and reach goals that she is working on. Do I agree with coaches that yell at the refs? No I do not agree with it. It is not my style. With that said you could walk around at any of the tournaments and hear the same thing on every other field.
As far as not being permitted to shoot. My daughter has only been told not to shoot when the game is a blowout. If anything they ave directly told her to shoot more.
Is it a one man show? At times it is. Does this kid bust her butt on draws and ground balls? Yes she does!
Anyone with knowlege of girls tournament lacrosse knows that at 10 & 11 years of age there is always one or two girls that are more agressive and developed than the rest . We all know that the straight go to goal will not be the norm when they all get to MS and HS. Once the draw and dump concept is accepted they all will realize it opens up opportunities for the whole team. This will come.
As for the rest of the girls you would have to ask them but like I said before I wish we all would just ignore the negative posts. A rule that I am clearly breaking with this post.

Hey jackass , I dare you to give the coaches name so you can look like an even bigger moron. The top 2020 YJ team does not put daddy run teams in unless everyone is asked and not enough kids have interest. Go ahead name the coach from the top team who does this , you will not do it because you know you will be called out for BS.

Sorry , TG you get 10 practices , 5 tournaments , nothing more. No off- season tournaments , little off season training options . You should have your TG daddy teams practice on their own now. Look at the commits from Liberty and tell me all the YK drama or lack of good coaches or options at TG is worth it.

Bill fyi... Yellow jackets are practicing already... whats going on here. they have a leg up
already.

difference betwen Yj and TG is Yj start practice in April, TG start practice in May. It will show in Denver.

most recruiting events dont have championship format you moron.

Making the haul all the way to Denver and incurring all the expense to slug it out with your NY/NJ next door neighbors (elevate, liberty, TG, YJ and Steps). Let's be honest, M&D and Hero's won't send a team and looking like Skywalkers may not. Rest of teams are not competitive.

If you think your daughter is the best have her try out for Liberty? TG and YJ both have better teams than Liberty in the younger age groups at least

Neither poster seems to get simple concepts. I never said Liberty has, or does not have a better team in any age group, nor was that the topic of discussion, so please try to understand this time. The comment was don't go to Liberty unless your from Set. My post countered with D.G. will take the best players she has at try outs, I never stated they were better than any other club team, I also stated that she carries only 2 teams per age group and does not form new teams just for the sake of a money grab like both top guns and yellow jackets. At liberty cuts are made. If you think your daughter is one of the many victims of lacrosse politics, and you think she is a good player, Liberty will give you a fare shake. Yes you will probably play with a lot of girls from Set. Oh the horror.

This is a false statement. My daughter plays for Liberty Black and does not go to Manhasset. I have seen D.G. put players from Set on the red team, and even cut them, and yes she does have cuts unlike the other clubs on long Island. D.G. will take the best players at try outs, no matter what town they are from. Don't listen to the hype about liberty, if your daughter is good she will make a team, if she is not she will be cut, Liberty will only field 2 teams per age group no exceptions. If you think your daughter is the best, the best way to find out is to try out for Liberty. D.G. is not only one of the best players to ever play the game, she is also one of the best coaches. She has the most integrity compared to the rest of the club directors and tries to field true ELITE teams, not just take a check from all comers. I will say it again, If you think your daughter is an elite player try out for liberty and find out. if your afraid of the truth stay with Top Guns Or Yellow Jackets both will be glad to take your check and lie to you about your daughter. Lastly of course there are a lot of players from Set at liberty she's the coach there, and in case you haven't noticed they are ranked second in the country, that means they don't suck and D.G. must be doing something right.

If you think I sound pompous you should go back and read the threads from either the Yellow Jackets or Top Guns thread, you couldn't get a bigger collection of arrogant "we're better than you" a-holes at a progressive cocktail party.
As far as D.G being the biggest politician, I have not seen it and I am within the club. I have never seen her put a kid on a team because of a family member , friend , or business associate, as is done at both Y.J. and T.G.
As far as our "non existent, barely posted on Liberty forum", at least we don't air our dirty laundry for all to see, but thats mainly because we're happy, unlike you fools.
As far as bad coaching goes my daughter is coached by the woman with the 2nd ranked team in the nation by 3 different poles, but your right she's awful, I should transfer to Top Guns and be coached by Shannon's idiot brother, or belligerent father. That would be much better for my daughter

We have 1 liberty black player on our HS team. She doesn't play. The only reason she us on liberty black is cause mom is friends with dg! Total politics. But keep drinking the koolade

This point is a 100% true and DG and Manhasset at some point will need to answer for it. Public school coaches should not be making money on the side with a travel program and then turn around and sit a kid because she chooses to play for a different, arguably better, club. Remember this was only brought up on here after you went on a rant on how much integrity DG has.

That's a good point, but I doubt if anything will ever be done about it. We have a varsity coach that's involved with YJ, and people are starting to wonder if the YJ girls are being favored over girls from other programs...

Sure they are just look at CSH

Maybe kid is a victim of politics and is not being played because she plays for Liberty and not another club.

What about CSH? Not familiar with whatever's happening there

CSH coach is a yellow jackets coach.

Oh ok. And, are you saying that the YJ players are being favored on the varsity team? There's definitely a suspicion of that happening at our school...

Goes back to what to what has been said many times on this site, school coaches should not be allowed to coach travel, camps or clinics or anything that is a conflict of interest. This should be a rule by section XI.
