As far as TG being more competitive next year...sounds like they will be even less competitive. They are losing at least 3 from last year, including their best player (the one who played with the 2020 girls two seasons ago) (all going to YJ's). YJ's will be the best team in this age once the new girls come. YJ 2021 team will go close to undefeated next season. ok, move on. most of us don't care

You can down play it all you want, all I know is you don't see any YJ players walking away from Blue, much less top players, much less multiple girls leaving in numbers. Gotta be scratching ur head here, something just ain't right with the club.

You obviously have not watched YJ Blue yet. Best goalie I have seen at that age and at least one field player you just can't touch. Best at their positions? Funny how they both lost to M&D.

I am sure you are on target for many, but for some, lacrosse can be the differentiator for what level of school our child can attend. Just grades will not get you into the best schools, but grades and a lacrosse game can be the difference between a top 20 school or not. It is also about all the great things that competitive athletics teach your kids for life. Some folks are fortunate to not be worried about the money, but rather the develop of their child as a person and the opportunities they get early in life.

One of the better players from 2021 is definetly gone (had the nerve to go to tryouts and Even accepted the invitation. Not sure if the parents will actually send in the deposit. My bet is they are stringing BS along, shame on him since BS supported him with his shaft business experiment)... A bit of a ball hog anyway. The team may suffer a short term loss, but overall it will help them to develop better. We will more than make up the loss of her by getting last year's purple goalie.

Unfortunately sometimes these travel teams just show the girls the nasty side of sports-the parents that kiss up so daughters can play - or the parents that have the money to pay for extra lessons - for some it can be a positive experience - but with all the gossip and talk about who is better than who - really?is that what you want to teach your child?

Opens up a chance for other girls to get involved who might not have been aggressive or intimidated by her. Analyzing 7th grade teams? Girls at middle school change so much physically from year to year. 1 out of every 100 athletes gets a sports scholarship. Hire a tutor and that will improve your chance of making a team with talent and academic money.

If you played for TG you would know that most teams are built around one or 2 girls holding the ball and and not passing it. The goal isn't to open anything up. So if one of those girls leave it does have a dramatic impact on the team.

Agreed of the three that are rumored to be going to YJ Curcio on the one that played with the 2019 TG black team will have any impact, suspected new assistants kid is not as good as any starter on YJ Curcio and 3rd kid is borderline to even make team (of course excluding back door deals). Those are facts tow of the kids are mediocre at best other is a very good player.

It is disturbing that 7th grade girls that change teams are torn apart on this site by their former teammate's parents. It is really not necessary and I hope your daughter's are never subject to that level scrutiny.

This exists on many threads so this is not a shot at TG. Perhaps we can all raise the level of discussion. How do we collectively raise the level of all players on LI and have more girls irrespective of club and/or town play at the next level (or just have more fun at this level)?

Those are last years rosters BUT I will tell you that my daughters team has 23 kids on the roster. I am hoping the think is that 2 kids will turn down the invite and that will get them to 21 so I guess we will see how that plays out. You are correct as to what it says on the website.

Even if they are attempting to personally keep players how much time are they going to invest for a few players to stay?
