No, not semantics, fact. She did not play for TG 2020. Therefore, they did not lose her. The end.

Know the kid and family you are talking about. What a shame some of you feel the need to bash. She's good and she's a nice kid. You can come on here and say what you want but most people have seen the way she plays and her play speaks for itself. Know the family for years. Our girls are friends from TG. They will remain great friends and so will we! Doubt the family is worried about fitting in anywhere. They have 2 older girls who play so making friends with the mommy's and daddy's of their youngest is probably not a big priority for them so you can can "stop worrying" - they will be fine.

Why would they not want to become friends with the parents of kids on their kids team, are they too good for them.

I think it was said becoming friends is not a priority. I can totally understand that. I prefer to be casual with the other parents on my team as well. I participate in the events and leave it at that. Nothing wrong with that.

Actually there is something wrong with that. You will be spending the better part of the next 4-5 summers with these people , in hotels , at the fields, at practices etc . Most will have many things in common with you yet it seems and I could be wrong that you have no interest in even trying to strike up a friendship with these people. I know the type and you use the few parents who are the gossipy pains in the [lacrosse] as the excuse to keep to yourselves and stay "above all the political nonsense". Unfortunately you are probably missing out on some great friendships that will last beyond the years spent on the sidelines.

The writer said they keep it casual and participate in all events. That doesn't sound like having no interest in making friends. Sounds healthy.

ok moron on the crazy temper tantrum because they might not want to get to cozy with you. Can you blame them? You are an absolute lunatic! The more you rant, the more you make them look smart and you look like a complete jack a.. Shut up and stop making the rest of us look as crazy as you.

to all the naysayers that claim that SS doesn't have much involvement with the club, I have to say that I have been thrilled with the winter clinic so far. She is printing center teaching our girls a lot of great skill and they automatically respect her because of her history

Will the NOW 2020 girl be repeating the 8th grade so her graduation year is the same as her playing year?

Is the NOW 2020 girl currently an 7th grader who is 13 years old?

Not sure what "printing center teaching" is but I agree, she's been there and hands on with the girls and she also very nice.. Goes to show don't believe everything these negative Nancy's post here on this forum.

I guess it depends on which team your on. Because this winter clinic is a waste of time.

Can anyone confirm if there are girls being held back on either team for 2019 or 2020?

That means that the girl is currently in 8th gr and will repeat the 8th gr again making her a 2020 player with a graduation date of 2020.

Or

Is the girl a 2019 -8th gr playing down for 2020?

Wouldn't call it a waste of time. The instruction and staffing are very good (including SS). But the facility is inadequate. I suspect that is how they kept the cost of the clinic down. $125 for 8 practices per session is a good price. I would pay more if they had a better facility such as KK, or somewhere where they had two fields instead of cramming onto one with 50 girls. I suspect they will see a large drop in the number of girls who sign up for the second session.

This is not a fashion show, no need to have a 5 star facility..(turf, balls, goals and coaches) are all that's needed. stop complaining and go pay more elsewhere you smug elitist. I don't care where my daughter learns as long as she learns. There will be no drop off as is affordably priced.

You are correct. Doesn't matter the facility. But why does everyone need to resort to name calling. Please remain adults.

Big/good girl on TG 20 black is a hold back. not the same age as every one else, hence the better lax skills and IQ.

The training is fine, the facility is not.. the bubble is filthy and it would be nice if all the lights worked... I counted at least 6 that were out on Sunday..
knock on wood... no injuries that Im aware off

Can all of you please stop with the kid is a hold back. I am friends with the family and she turned 12 in the spring. Stop hating on this kid . She just happens to be a stand out player that is 12 and in 7th grade. You may be confused because she plays up when she plays hoops .

Nice try to cover it up.. Kid is a hold back! Not sure how long you all thought this was going to be held under wraps..cannot and will not reveal source of info.. But it's no lie.. Let's just say Massapequa is a very small place when it comes to who knows who. Before kid got held back was in same grade with my niece,who is 13 so am I to believe kid skipped a grade and then got held back.. How does that work?? Kids family member that plays for other club is the only true 12 yr old in that family.. I don't care either way but let the facts be facts and move on.

Hate to say it but you're correct, was just waiting for someone to let the cat out the bag. With that being said, there needs to be changes in the USL where they use the kids actual dob instead of grad year. I'm all for kids getting the xtra year of school if they're academically behind, I do however have a problem with those parents that use it to get their kids an advantage in sports. Not taking anything away from anyone's kid, but it is expected if kid is older to have better skills.

I am the original poster who posed the first question of being held back. I am a parent of a male lax player. I read BOTC to see what is up outside of my own nutty club.

No cat out of the bag. It is common sense that the girl is being left back due to the change is year play from 2019 to 2020.

Sad that the parents of the ladies feel the need to make their daughters repeat the 8th grade to gain an advantage.

I thought the hold back parents of the boys were bad.

I guess her older cousin who plays for YJ 2020 is a hold back as well. You losers need to get over it. Shes better than your daughter and shes the same age. If telling yourself that she is older helps you sleep better at night then keep on ranting about her.
