Hows worlds greatest college coach doing now. 5 and 8 .... just because your a great player doesnt mean you can be average at best coach

She won't recruit them because of the baggage (parents).

Some simple facts
1. Y.J 2015 blue never won against MD lasers, Liberty 2015 black tied them

2. Sky walkers - Y.J. 2015 blue lost twice won once, Top guns 2015 black won by a goal, and lost by a goal or 2, liberty 2015 black lost by 2

3. liberty 2015 black lost to 2015 Skak by 1, and Top guns 2015 black by 1 in Florida before every team started holding try outs fir the U-15.

Sounds like liberty is in the mix, though Y.J. does win more games. As far as tournaments go, C.R. sends her teams to tournaments where she can control who her teams play, thats why the top 5 clubs rarely play them in pool play (give me what I want or I will take my ball and go home $$$$$$) When you have 5 teams per age group that translates to a lot of money for a tourney promoter. winning lax for a cure isn't that big a deal if you can make sure you reach the finals, if you know what I mean.

One thing is for sure, D.G sends a lot of girls to the Ivy's, so at the very least the smarter people are at liberty

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

Go look on the M&D and Skywalkers websites at their practice schedules - they will both have 30-40 practices before national draw and will have played a season of spring ball together. LI clubs are all about the money, Maryland charges less and delivers a lot more. Its a testament to the ability of LI kids that they can actually compete with these clubs considering the lack of practice time together

Go away you miserable p---k.

It is surprising that the TG teams can compete, with only 10 practices all summer, probably 5 before first tournament, and probably without their actual coaches. That's what you get with TG, so if you want more, you go to YJ's. It's far from perfect there too, but they'll definitely offer more, and have more high level coaches. TG tries for more of a family atmosphere, much less intense, sort of take it or leave it, with SOME very good coaches. My son's travel team will have about 20 team practices, with their regular coaches, before their first tournament. You can't have everything, so you have to go wherever is best for your daughter and your family. We wish they have about twice as many practices, but we like TG, and so does our daughter, so it works for us, but not for everyone...

Some people actually like the fact that TG don't over do the whole team thing trying to stuff extra team practices, training and tournaments down your throat, feeling like your going to be missing out/ left out if you don't participate. It is good to get involved with different people in in the millions of other lacrosse opportunities that are out there. It is nice to get away from some of the players and parents that you have been selected to play with and play with people you choose. If the only thing you do is tg lacrosse, then yes M&D or some of the YJ teams the girls will see more practice and training, but most girls from TG play 75% or more of their lacrosse in non TG events, thank goodness.

How stupid are the people saying an Ivy league school will take only people that can write the check, the acceptance process to these schools are brutal, how many kids that could write the check, or play lax, or both get wait listed or denied because of poor grades. I mean a kid from William Floyd just got accepted to all the Ivy's and I'm positive his family can't write the check, or play lax, and he will not pay a dime to go.

Manhasett and garden city send kids everywhere because the parents can write the checks! 5-10K in scholarship and 40K check and the kids get to tell evrybody they play on a lax scholarship at whatever school - been the story for many years on the boys and girls side

Why would you want to pay the same or more for less. I would understand your attitude if TG was cheaper than these other clubs that offer more but it's not. In the end you are happy to pay more for less, naked no sense. I was hopefull that the coaching would improve as the program grew but has not been the case and have heard all the rumors of a lot of younger leaving after this season.

I Iive in Garden City. I pay $48,000 a year in property taxes. Does not bother me one bit. Maybe if you cared more about your education, you to could haves lived in Garden City. We should be bashed because we made the right decisions in life.

I think it has been adequately explained above that people choose their club based on intangibles other than money. Maybe you don't, but some people do. If someone is happy with their club, why do you care what they pay?

Actually Cold Spring harbor and Jericho better school districts. Many kids who live in GC go to Private School, well the kids with money do...

Rumors are just that, until you see people moving it is just talk. Although there was a mass exodus for the one team SS coached, not sure what that says about the program or SS.

Every year, well over 100 girls tryout for 2018, due to SS coaching at that level. What mass exodus are you talking about?

Perfect post. A well rounded "team" player will get looks and offers.

Let me tell you what this guy really means...........I Iive in Garden City. I pay $48,000 a year in property taxes. I AM A MORON.

What post are you replying to?

and he has a YJ bumper sticker in his Range Rover.

Why the f$&k would anyone pay that to live on an island that is slowly going down the crapper. Oh and daddy. Your high tax bill doesn't mean little Suzy isn't drinking and partying with her friends. She's probably paying for it

And riding a party bus to the Hamptons? LOL
