Helmet covers for all goalies

Any one have any other insight into this try out?
Who were the evaluators? all YJ, TG, Elevate, a mix, HS coaches?
Was the competition "better" because it was a U19 tryout year?
Were there more "committed" players there?
Anyone sneak in and watch?
Any blatant horror stories?

Their school initials should not be on there helmets! Duhhhhh!

No. BTW your missing Jerry Springer on TV right now. Hurry.

How stupid are you. DUHHHHH.
Buy a new helmet or rip off the school decals for a tryout?
How about kids with school colored sticks? Some have school names dyed into them. Should they buy new sticks for a tryout?
Your an idiot. DUHHHHH

How about everyone makes the team! NO cuts. Everybody plays an even amount of time, everybody gets a jersey. NO hard feelings

Lol. Helmet covers, white helmets? The coaches all who they are. Not their helmets. Are you guys kidding me. What's next? Fake mustaches, wigs or plastic surgery. As the previous poster said at this level these kids are known by the coaches and parents alike. Their pictures have been in Newsday a dozen times. Let it go already. Really.

This mom is on the mark. we shouldn't waste our time trying to give everyone a fare chance, what would happen if a girl from a school like Longwood or Holy Trinity had a good day and took a spot from a more deserving girl from a better school. Personally, I think the try out process is archaic, why do we even bother, we should just invite the girls that have made the papers, and have the most goals, and belong to the "best " clubs, and when they show up they should have to ware there uniforms so that the coaches know exactly who they are. That way they wouldn't even need there sticks, or have to run or anything. lets keep Long Island lacrosse pure, and not let the riff- raf in. go Yellow Jacket

JUST PUT THE RESULTS OUT!
REALLY IT US TO BE DONE THE SAME NIGHT. COME ON REALLY......

the first two team have been notified already?

the first two teams were set on Saturday, scramble for team 3

Open the tryouts? Are you dumb or just a stay at home housewife / mommy with nothing better to do. Kids don't need distractions, especially looking up in the stands and seeing you. All LI varsity HS coaches are invited to be evaluators. FACT. CR did not attend the 2014 trouts. FACT. LI Liberty Founder and Manhasset varsity coach is LI Metro Team One coach, which means she is running the show. Fact. All you YJ haters stop with the whining. Stop wasting time and effort making up conspiracy theories.

Brine is a 2nd tier tourney made up of lower level athletes. I love all the parents last year who bragged that their daughter was a "Brine All American". What a joke. Save your money. US Lax School Girls and UA uncommitted and underclass games much better tourneys. It was a college coaches "who's who" at both last year. Ton of exposure and well organized.

What a joke.

The evaluators are high school coaches. Most of them do not run camps. The YJ program hires these coaches for summer jobs. The Suffolk coaches never see the Nassau girls play and visa versa. If you think your player is that "famous" that everyone in the lax world knows her, you need to wake up!

The rosters seem impressive. Lots of D1 commits.

So w your theory the selection process is fair in that most of the kids are not known by the evaluators prior to the tryout

Yes, about half the evaluators were from Suffolk high schools and half were from Nassau. They were from the A,B,C and Catholic HS conferences. So what I am saying is that a HS coach from the C class in Suffolk would not recognize or may have never even seen a Class A "superstar" from Nassau ever play. With that said, we all know that Newsday and MSG Varsity is a joke. They only focus on players and teams that call into them. They get it right part of the time, but get it wrong more often. My opinion.

You are so wrong ask Larry to find out what High School coaches were the evaluators and then find out how many kids from the schools they coach on are on the rosters! You will be amazed how slanted they really are. I hope Larry has those kind of resources.

So is making this team for the purpose of representing LI against other areas for the championship? Or is it a recruiting event?
It was mentioned earlier that the event was a who's who of college coaches... If everyone is committed who are they watching?
