BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Top Guns Lacrosse

This is becoming as dysfunctional of a thread as the Shoreham-WR thread.

Why in such a rush for the Rosters? I would like to see them also but not desperate, I know my daughter made her team and that's all that matters. Legacy, Elevate, haven't released theirs yet either. I'm sure they all have their reasons and it has nothing to do with not being able to field a team. Many girls would die for the chance to play, so just hush.

Hi. I just wanted to take a moment to welcome ALL the new TG parents to the TG club. Now that your check has cleared you will really see the dysfunction that exists within the organization. Things to remember, you will never have any real friends at TG as they will talk behind the back of you and your kids any chance they get and dont turn your back when at a game (unless you have our protective vest on) or you will be pulling a knife out of it. This is going to be everything that you have promised and MORE. The fun is just getting started but wait until summer as that is when the real fun begins - fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride. Again, welcome aboard - we are glad you chose TG for your family's youth lacrosee experience!

You should really go read the YJ sh@tstorm thread before you call any other club dysfunctional.

Every club has politics and dysfunction. All you need to do is pick your poison.

I have never seen dysfunction and hate like this in any youth sports program. I have to say, I am quite shocked! It is also not just from former TG parents but current ones as well. No clue why they stay here when there are so many other options.

Your unhealthy for the lax community. Like said to another poster yesterday. We don't care about you. Worry about yourself and if you don't like it get off the thread and don't read it but you can't help yourself. Instead you'll try and guess everybody's individual situation. How about you get a job and be one of "the upper middle class". You need to know what's going on with your children's surroundings, negative especially. And for the guy who says people live through their daughters wishing they had sons. Speak for yourself dude. Get help. Speak to someone but either take the good with the bad or don't read.

Well, FWIW, I didn't see it when we were with TG. I'd say the largest chunk of drama right now stems from the 2020 mess. Or the 2017 girl who got cut (per hearsay here). Or Westhampton (and I have no idea what that's all about but it gets referenced regularly). I've never had a prob with BS, nor have I seen any of the other negative actions ascribed to him. Not saying it didn't happen but it can't be at the level some maintain if I never saw it over the years.

Time to go powder your nose you have some brown stuff on it. Defending BS behavior is impossible unless you have been around the guy so little. Do not play TG or YJ and I have witnessed his nonsense, I do however live in WB so have been around him more than most.

The dysfunction in this sport is bigger than just this club. It lurks throughout girl's travel lax (at least on Long Island). Fueled by a small percent (not that small though), that wouldn't say most of what they say unless it was anonymously. Many of these threads have turned into a virtual internet slambook for people involved girls lacrosse. Most of the perpetrators of these vicous attacks are the people who are well to do (upper middle class and above) who are used to getting their way if they cry loud enough, and the other half are dad's who themselves underachieved athletically, and wish they had sons, but are pushing their daughter's in what they feel would be the equivalent of football.

This small group of people and their postings, cause anxiety throughout the lacrosse community which further fuels issues and anxiety of the larger percentage of rational adults who's children play and participate. Once you come and read these boards, even if you don't post, they have an effect on you. No matter how rational and low key you may be.

Why does this only seem to be an LI issue? All the LI threads are constantly used for bashing parents and kids. Meanwhile the MD threads are crickets. All the while the beat our butts year in and year out. What are we doing wrong up here?

Isn't there a fall tournament coming soon? Any info? Nothing on website. Supposed to be posted October 1st

If your daughter's team is playing in a fall tournament you would have received an email

Ok. Then maybe today they'll post information. I hope so, I'm anxious to see who my daughter's teammates will be and plan my schedule accordingly.

What I've heard.

Why wouldn't BS just send out the roster to the team when the kids were selected? Such less drama - they can see who is on the team with them and not have to guess.

Not all teams and kids play - it's just the chosen ones and the ones with the daddy's that complain the most.

Agree - something is up since they wont even do that. Everyone wants to at least know who is on their kids team? Is there an opportunity to carpool? Do I know any new kids that may have been selected? I mean tryouts were in August!

No clubs post the teams right away, you don't even know who is going to accept or decline. Most boys lacrosse clubs never even post roosters. We are in touch with our friends from last season and know most of the girls on on the team, there maybe a few additions or subtractions, we will find out when we start. Patience.

Not true. teams send out their rosters after tryouts based on results. That does not mean they post them on their website, but at least people on that team know who else they are playing with.

As a consumer you should get that at a minimum. However, if you send out an email that says you "got a spot" without saying what team, without knowing who else made it, then something fishy is going on. If you host an open tryout and charge for it, the results should be made available.

My daughters friend plays on Elevate, they received their rosters when the teams went out so they know who is on their team. Why cant TG just do that?

some rosters are still a work in progress. did anyone get a TG invite that didn't tell them what team they were selected for?

If your daughter is on Elevate why do you care who is on TG Rosters!
