I heard some 2019's are playing down on Curcio this weekend to ensure the win and secure their position as the #1 2020 team. If I was on Jones team I would want some answers.

I'm sorry but our attitude comes from how we are treated. You know it so stop with the holier than though Tony Robbins speech. I'm sick of paying to be put down. I'm done!!

Girls are not allowed to play down, only up. I would hardly doubt this is true.

If you were on Jones team you would not be on here posting nonsense like the loser you are. Go back to your TG team wake your coach up off the bench and tell him to say goodbye to his best 2019 and 2020 players .Your coach and owner know they are leaving and a visit to their house to beg them to come back like last year will not work.

What will happen if jones makes the finals again this weekend ?

Why is YJ even playing at that tournament this weekend - the teams are very weak. Seems like a huge waste of time and money. There must be better tournaments out there instead of beating up on beach bums, 91, etc.

How about Title 9

Your daughter will get more out of using a bounce back for an hour than playing those teams. Of course you will be on here Monday telling us how YJ won the tournament even knowing there is NO competition

I am looking forward to a 1 day tournament close to home. The traffic for away tournaments gets worse by the year and we seem to be playing less competitive games then ever before. Don't get me wrong the top teams are good BUT WE RARELY GET TO PLAY THEM!

YJ is there to support the Beach Bums. What's wrong with that?

Heard its an under the rug deal, she splits the $ from her teams with the tournament director. Not just her, all these directors are on the take with kickbacks from tournaments, camps, hotel blocks etc....

I thoughty that was what mitchell field tourney was for - close to home, play yourself 3 out of 4 of your 25 min games, never mind traveling and hotels you don't even have to get out of the car

I just want to say something good on this thread. Everyone seems to complain about CR or something else. My daughter is currently enrolled in the hornets program so maybe my feet aren't wet enough yet but I will say this. Thank you CR and the directors for a great experience for my daughter. It was like pulling teeth to convince her to go the first week and now she won't put her stick down. The young girls coaching this program have not only taught them to play lacrosse but it can be fun. I can only hope these coaches will soon follow these girls through bc I know there are two young coaches who have given my daughter the lax bug and we are so happy with the money we spent even though many said to stay away

Oh you have no idea.................

Now that makes sense - YJ would never do anything to support another club - this makes perfect sense - thanks for clarifying. CR must be making $$$s for supporting the tourney.

Yes CR gets paid money for running YJ I hear BS now cutting out the middle man and getting paid in hot dogs. You know when a statement starts w an " I Hear" the things that follow are nonsense

If you were happy with the money you spent on Hornets your going to be thrilled with the amount of money you get to spend on YJ.

I never believed the stories about how $$$$$ hungry CR was until I went to the YJ tournament they hosted. The fact that they charge people to go in (even if some or all of the $'s) go to charity or not, that is the example of GREED! NO other tournament (even the ones where $'s go to charity) charge people to get in at the door. My 85 year old parents were coming to watch my daughter play for 20 minutes as they cant stay in the heat that long and they made them pay. Talk about pathetic! Yes, you will have tonds of time to donate all your money to CR and trust me, she will take every dollar you have! It is absolutely disguisting. But enjoy.....

Well if both you and your husband each put aside just ten cents each week during the year you can them afford it...

Do you consider Liberty to be competition?

Manhasset just won a state title with all Liberty players so they must be able to compete with someone!

You make it sound so petty, but take your one kid from any given yellow jacket team each parent giving $.20 per week multiply by 24 kids per team, that's $4.80 per week per team. Multiply by 30 teams now you have $94 per week. Yes it is tiny in comparison of multiplying the typical $3000 per kid x 24 kids x 30 teams, but the point is she has to squeeze every last red cent out of every player/parent and yes grandparent.

That clearly was not the point of the post AND if it's that small amount of money - then why ask people to pay it. Does CR give your kid extra playing time for sitting on here defending her pathetic policies. I sure hope so because we all know she isn't paying you to be on here.

If your tha unhappy with the money you have to spend then why don't you leave. The way I see it someone was just posting something nice that they were happy about and you have to bring misery into it. My daughter played yellow jackets for years and quit once she got to college but guess what I spent the money bc it made her happy. If your daughter isn't happy and you certainly sound miserable then go elsewhere. As far as the parent who commented about Hornets..good luck to her I hope she loves it as much as many of the hundreds of other girls have.

Agreed and it is petty because the money goes to several charities not into their pockets.

In their tournament in June for the 2020 bracket my kids town team beat two Liberty Black teams I think they were 2020 & 2021

It depends on the age group and team in Liberty. Overall I think they have gotten much weaker in recent years. Could they match up well against a 2020 TG Black team - not even close.
