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

Does anyone know how today's yj 2018 tryouts went .

You must keep in mind that there are 2 sections 8 and 11 on long island, and only on long island do those 2 sections have to play each other to reach the state tournament. In my opinion nassau should be able to send there 3 top teams as well as suffolk. if that was the case up state teams would have a much harder time reaching the finals. the system is set up so long island can't dominate. Could you imagine how hard it would be if Fox Lane had to beat E.S.M and Manhasset to win states, thats a tall order for any team

You say we on Long Island need to dial down our bravado, but you go on to brag about how much better Mass. is than both Maryland and Long Island in every other sport. You say you know that if your beloved Mass. would take over the lax world but have no basis for such a statement other than a few players that played at NU. Look into that crystal ball and tell us all, should all U.S. players now be worried about Australia or England because they have also produced a couple of great players? The truth is Mass. has been playing long enough to make some progress against both L.I. and MD but has not. The truth is we both dominate Mass year after year and your not able to catch up, so maybe we're just better at this one thing. Don't sweat it you can't be better than everyone at everything. The rest of the areas discussed are still very new to lax, Mass. is not so maybe it's you that needs to dial down you bravado a notch or three, remember , according to you, your better than us at everything els so let us inferior beings have this one O' dominate one

More kids than ever, tremendous amount of talent, enough for 6 teams easy, three best 2018 teams in the country will be yj

"Enough for six teams easy" Lol you should be ashamed of yourself for even saying that. having 6 teams in any age group is nothing to be proud or brag about. Its an embarrassment, I would hate for my daughter to be on anything past the 3rd team and that's pushing it. Funny how some people accept anything just to say they play for YJ. and before you go off calling me a TG hater, not on TG, actually on YJ and would leave YJ in a second if my daughter placed below the 3rd team. No point in me giving CR all that money to say what? My daughter plays for YJ 4, 5, 6, 7.

I never get the pompous jackass that posts things like this. Why do you think all these 4-5-6 level team kids should be denied the experience of playing travel lacrosse. Why does your kid play if she does not enjoy it , if she dislikes it that much save your money and put in a college fund for her, but stop worrying what other people do with their money.

Never said my kid hated lax, she's quite happy on her second YJ team, simply saying that being on the bottom of the YJ rosters serves "me" no purpose as there is nothing to gain from being on any team past the 3rd team. Why would "I" spend all that money just to brag to my friends and neighbors that my kid plays for YJ, have them believe my kid is a superstar when in all actuality she's just there to fill the coffers for CR.

Many of other clubs out there than to settle for being 4th, 5th, 6th, whatever number team CR decides to add. If my kid is good, she going to be seen regardless, no need to stay at YJ 4, 5,6, 100 just for club name recognition or bragging points.

So not worried about what you do with your money darling, go on spend it all for a bumper sticker and jacket while you believe that this will be your daughters year to shine....Must be nice looking at your name/number year after year on the same 4, 5, 6 team roster.

That is just plain old mean and nasty...maybe these girls and their families like the travel lacrosse experience...maybe it's not about the dumb sticker or jacket...maybe some of the "top" girls are on teams because of who they know? Give me a break and hope your top girl is nothing like you

You are really a loser no wonder your kid hates lacrosse. What do you think a lot of the parents on my daughters YJ team say, if my daughter gets moved down to the 2nd team we are out of here. They consider your daughters team to be a waste of money and time. My point is you are all ridiculous this supposed to be about your kids having fun and enjoying playing the sport of lacrosse, if your doing it for other reasons you are just wrong. Its pompous idiots like this guy that thinks the kids on the lower level teams could not possibly be enjoying themselves because he is just so angry his kid is not on the top team he cannot enjoy the time with his kids.

I do know that in our town the parents like wearing the Yellow Jackets apparel more than the kids do. That's a fact

Amen! that was my point. The parents are using YJ as a bragging point when the people they are bragging to have no idea the kid is on the low end of the roster, I've witnessed this myself. Just to say kid plays for YJ, be happy with a 5th team placement for thousands of $ spent to still remain there. But oh yes the parents get the sticker and the jacket though. what a trade off!

St anthonys has a rock solid team from goalie to mid field to attack to defense. No one compares to the talent they have. Cc goalie is outstanding, cq is so good she will be playing u19, eb when she gets back on the field is quick and smart and so talented, Im lights it up every time a stick is in her hand and scores ridiculously, mb is drop dead on defense, the sophomore who's going to fla, and the rest of the squad. Really great team and will probably do outstanding this season

That is hilarious. This is not restricted to just travel teams. Parents in West Islip wear team jackets like they are still playing. It looks like they have an over 40 team for every sport.

lol that is so true!

You moron are missing the point, I am quite content with my kid being on the 2nd team and even 3rd for that matter. It's once it goes beyond those teams that I would have no 2nd thoughts leaving for another club. I personally would not get much value out of a 4-7 team. To each his own, keep lining the pockets of CR that's your choice, my choice is to value my daughter a bit more and not just throw her on some team just to say she plays there. This is competitive elite club lax, if my kid wants to just play, then she can play for PAL and save me a ton of money. you people are full of crap. put your daughter on a 5th team because she loves the sport and just wants to play..lol please you're fooling no one. You all hope that one day she will make Blue/gold even if you have to spend $40,000 by the time your finished at YJ and still sit there on the bottom teams.

You are such a moron you make it so easy. Elite club lax , your kid is on team two do you actually think the parents with kids on the top team think your kid is elite . They have the same opinion about your kids team as you do about the 4-5 teams and that's what makes you both jackasses . You draw some random number at anything below team 3 is useless because you are an idiot .

I believe the 2nd YJ 2018 team lost to the TG Purple team this past summer...

The reason all of the WI parents look like an over 40 team is because they are like children of the corn they grow up and never leave. They are wearing their jackets from 1986.

I heard all new logo and color scheme is coming to force everyone to buy new stuff. Is that true??

How sad you are you loser. Why are you using initials when you are dying to use their names? These kids are 14/15/16 years old. You sound like a pimp using these girls so you can feel good about yourself while you live your life through them.

Very true. The poster clearly has anxiety about their own self worth and feels the need to pen a team bio using young girls initials. Sad.
