My daughter is a committed player to a D1 team, that did not play for T.G. or Y.J. As a matter of fact, probably the best 2014 player played for the Wave (K.M.). The point of this is fairly simple, and probably not what S.S or C.R. want any of you younger age group parents to know, It does not matter what travel club your daughter plays on, or on what color, or level,or initial comes after that club teams name. If your daughter is a good player, coaches will take her but it takes a lot of effort on the parents and players. The player must write letters to coaches and know at least 10 schools she wants to play for. The parents have to know to send the players to those camps early ( 7th or 8TH grade). Yes the college coaches will line the fields in June and July, but what they really want is to see how coachable your kid is at their camp, under their terms. So there is the secret, that is what you pay C.R. and S.S. extra for. Truth is just because you play on Black or blue or lavender means nothing, if your kid fits, she goes. One last word of advice, and for some of you parents this will be impossible for you to fix.If the parent is overbearing, obnoxious, loud on the sideline, or abusive, no matter how good your kid is, coaches will pass her by. Find some nice kids and parents that you and your daughter enjoy being around and have fun at tournament, and send your kid to camps. That will be $1,500.00 I'll be expecting checks from all of you L.O.L

Just to make sure I have this right before I send in my check: Say no to a TG 2017 black team that a girl has been on and st show up at college camps? I'm serious. Because when I click on player bios almost all (including out of state) players have played at a club level and colleges ask what tournaments you will be in. As far as Wave isn't that the guy that rides around on a bicycle?

2 best players on LI? Ramping up Wave. Dude, you must be sniffing glue

21-1 yes that's right. How'd ur team do? Oh and BS was at LI champ game where WI won. Why? WI had 7-8 top gun girls playing

That girl (KM) played for SJB and Wave. She is an amazing player! Coached against her team and officiated her games. A true talent! WI would have been lucky to have her! Good luck to her at Towson!

No thanks , look at where those wave kids are going, not exactly top D1 programs if you want that and even lower on the scale of academic institutions.

Oh stop being such a judgemental snob, she's getting a college degree and playing the sport she loves, don't most of us wish we could have done that. Are all these dads on here D1 or Ivy league athletes/scholars??? please stop the negativity.

If she's so good, what the [lacrosse] is she doing at Towson?

You are such a tool. The point of the post was where is that one Wave kid going , or do you think Towson not good enough for your high academic standards. I assume you went to N.D. or Harvard seeing as you look down your nose at anything less. You're probably writing your posts from a solid gold laptop that you're able to flippantly purchase because your superb academic credentials got you the job of superior judge of everything lesser than you, especially Woman's lacrosse players and schools. As a matter of fact, You dolt, you unwittingly proved my point. Wave isn't the best program, with the most tournament wins,and a long pedigree of outstanding lacrosse commits, and yet the best player played there, she didn't play at St A's or Northport, but at S.J.B. and wether it meets your outstanding approval or not she is going to a top program, slated to do much better because K.M. is going there. And worst of all, god forbid, Carol Rose had nothing to do with it. Keep shelling out all your pocket money to Carol for Tournaments, jackets, hats, bumper stickers,privet lessons, luaus, cruses and a false sense of self worth as you live through your kid. The truth is the above stated facts still remain true.
As for the other tool that asked if they should stop spending the money on T.G. black.Are you the parent that always has to find a problem with every post, or are you just so dim that everything has to be spoon fed. I will dumb it down for just you. Play T.G. black, supplement that with the college camps you daughter might want to go to, try ( and this will be real difficult for you ) not to run your mouth on the sidelines. Or better yet , don't take any advice from anyone that has gone through this recently, your daughter will be just fine.

One of the girls was Suffolk player of the year and was a Top Gun dude so that would clarify her as the best player in Suffolk dude. And the Wave Girl is one of the best in the State dude. The West Islip comment is how much better they could of been 22-0 instead of 21-1 with The Wave girl. Do you get it? Do I need to explain my saracasm in greater depth so you can grasp the concept? Let me know and I will for the benefit of the game.

Can someone please tell me the fall tournament(s) and summer tournaments for 2021 and 2022 TG black?

I dont think TG Really enters TRUE teams in Fall tournaments. My daughters friend played fall last year and parents sort of organized the tournaments for the kids, well certain kids. They put together their own teams and asked some kids and not others, they did a bunch of 7 V 7, not real tournaments like Diane Whipple or Lax for Cure in the Fall. It is sort of an odd way to start off with a new club, at least she felt that way.

what the [lacrosse] are you talking about? What does west islip have to do with anything

It does seem confusing that the program allows certain dads to cherry pick their own teams from the TG rosters. The 2019's and 2020's, in particular, really abuse the system by putting TG teams in under the cloak of a team with a different name. They complain all summer because their daughters team is not as good as some of the others, but fail to realize that by only getting who they believe to be "The Top 10" better, they are actually hurting the "Team." Instead of building unity and camaraderie, they build animosity. No "Team" can ever be all that good with that much divisiveness.

The ABOVE is an EXAMPLE of what will go on in this fall at TG. See above thread from last fall. Parents picking "special" kids to play in tournaments. WELCOME TO TG!

Why don't you go play somewhere else? You're already complaining about fall lax, and the rosters aren't even finished...

West Islip was the class A NYS runner-up this year if KM stayed put we would of won the State and would of been 22-0 instead of 21-1. Im sorry for not making it more clear to you. Im sure you remember West Islip going 21-1 and losing to SEVEN time State Champion West Genesse in the final up at Cortland i could always fill you in or pay more attention in 2015 to West Islip. KM played for the Wave because the Wave coach was her HS coach do you understand that? Go watch Towson play and you will see how good KM is and how much better Towson will be. Please pay attention to your reading comprehension R E A D slower so it sinks in more.

yj parents stirring the pot, don't respond

So you're saying west islip would've won the state championship if this one particular girl played for WI??? They graduated girls going to D1 schools. All TG players. Buh bye

yj parents stirring the pot, don't respond

This is not stirring the pot, it is an accurate refelection as to what new parents can expect in the fall.

No it's not. This is our 3rd year with TG, and every year ALL players in our age group were invited to multiple fall tournaments, winter league, and winter practices.

The ABOVE is an EXAMPLE of what will go on in this fall at TG. See above thread from last fall. Parents picking "special" kids to play in tournaments. WELCOME TO TG!

In the off season you are responsible for finding a way to improve your daughters playing ability. If that means training, putting together a team for a fall event or picking up a stick yourself and working with your kid, so be it. Stop complaining that other parents are not including your kid in the off season. Take some ownership of the situation. None of these things are endorsed by TG.

So the TG "daddy" teams in the fall are not supported by TG and are picked by the parents and run by the parents. Thank you for the clarification.
