The difference is that there is much more training at the youth level noe. By the time the girls are in middle school, as long as they are good enough physically they are able to compete. In the past the girls were getting the training when they got to the High School level.

you're really too invested in the entire thing, hope that lax gets your kid a good education, beacause 10 years from now no one will really care, let's hope the pinnacle of our kids lives doesn't occur in 9th grade, you should be more invested in her and her future then being able to pound your chest and tell your friends and family that my kid's on the varsity team in 8th/9th grade because when they get out of college they're not all going to be CR with her little lax empire,keep your eyes on the prize, let them be kids

Greatest post to date.....Bravo!

try playing girls lax in northport hs if you're playing on danielle's or shannon's summer team and let me know how that works out for you

Has anyone looked at the forms required to fill out for an 8yh grader to be classified up into JV/Varsity? No athletic director is going to ok the move if the coach is playing the kid 3rd string. The coach has to specify if the child is a starter and or percentage of playing time.

Can schools stop an 8th grade child trying out for jv/varsity?

In my district the protocol is you have to be tapped by the coach, the player doesn't ask (although I bet there are parents whispering in the coaches' ears). Then you have to pass the NYS test for readiness.

I do know of schools that don't move 8th graders up, primarily because they have enough talent already at the HS level. The smaller school districts even move 7th graders up on occasion, provided they can pass the NYS test.

the sad fact is no Northport kid will ever try Liberty or Top Guns because they are too scared of the effect it would have on her status on the high school team.

How dare you disparage the the greatness of C.R. by inferring that any Northport player has anything but undying love and respect for the fairness and understanding that she she so selflessly bestows upon that community. Don't you Know that every single lacrosse player not only loves her, but owes her undying loyalty for inventing lacrosse. Shame on you for having such a descending opinion , you and your family should be drummed out of the sport FOREVER!!!!!!!

not true... I know of 8th grade girls playing varsity last year, saw the field for 20 minutes the entire year .

Drone sarcasm?

How many times did Rose win the states. ok there is your answer. Farmingdale several, SWR some, Garden City lots. She cant walk on the same field as the coaches from these schools. check the record books the last 10 years.

despite your comment regarding states she still has over 700 players...she's obviously doing something right. Move on

If NPT players watched TG in winter league they would never play for them

That's the problem! 700-800 players, does that shout elite to you? It shouts I will take money from everyone and anyone willing to pay - the vast majority of those players (or should I say parents) are in for a very big disappointment! I know firsthand of some girls that are on a yj "B" team that can barely play the game, now what would that infer about he kids on the "C" and "D" teams?

It is a rather smart business model. When you have 100+ players for each age group, you will have a good number of elite girls to build your top team (I guess it's called the "real" blue team now). Let's just say 5% of the girls are elite. That would give the blue team 5 elite girls (from 100 in age group) to build the rest of the team around. Another Club with only 50 to draw from would have 2 or three elites to build on. It is a huge advantage to have the players stacked deep, because even the number of solid players to make up the rest of the team is greater. We would all like to think since our daughter's play on the blue team they are considered elite, that's a title that really should be applied to only a very few select players on the top team. Trying to apply "elite" to an entire team or organization (600-700 players)is a joke, but brilliant marketing plan so long as everyone buys into it (and it seems all too many do).

You are correct. It sells, and it seems to me that Carol is all about the money. Carol needs to supplement her approx. $120,000+ a year salary from the Northport School District.

BTW, did CageSage ever post the salary documents and other papers BOTC was able to obtain from the NPT School District? Let me know, and if not I have the copies.

Don't know what her NPT salary has to do with anything, or why it should get posted. It's peanuts compared to the $$ from YJ's anyway, but with better benifits.Just for fun, anyone care to guess what YJ's must bring in?? 600-700 kids x (tuition) x (camps) x (clinics) x (apparel) x ................... -(expenses). Big money compared to a teacher's salary.

You are correct, however it is my opinion that her teaching position gives her a huge recruiting advantage.

BTW, I am not Cage sage who is a nice guy. I'm Larry Miller and when Carol Rose made the mistake of having her lawyer contact me, she initiated a rumble.

Ms. Rose through her attorney requested, rather demanded that BOTC not allow any conversation regarding the YJs on this site, in essence requesting that we all give up our First Amendment rights. I do not have to tell you how quickly I did not follow Ms. Rose's or her attorney's instructions.

As I said, Cage Sage is a very nice guy, and I am also. I just don''t take orders from Carol Rose.
