It's the start of the Fall 2017/Summer 2018 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group
Will the YJ have a 3rd team for next season?
Looking for some real info.. not fake news or sarcasm please...
What do each of the LI clubs charge for tryouts and tuition?
Specifically Liberty, TG, YJ, Elevate, Jesters, Igloo, Legacy?
I wouid like to think this site is good for something other than sillines. Thank you in advance to those who can give some true info!
Elite was the only Maryland team that went to the National Championship this year. It'll be interesting to see which Maryland teams go next year to Delaware.
While that is expensive for a tryout, they post exactly what you get and exactly what it costs on their home page. Which is more than I can say for most clubs. It's exhausting trying to find out how much clubs charge before you waste money trying out. I wish they'd all just post what you get and for how much!
Not expensive. All relative. Most deduct try out fee from tuition dues.
Will the YJ have a 3rd team for next season?
They will be lucky to have one team after all the good girls disperse to TG and Igloo. If I was a bottom tier player on either one of those teams, I'd be worried!

Not many, they have birth certificate issues.
The starting girls aren't leaving YJ for TG or Igloo as they played endlessly...to a fault perhaps...but still endlessly. No reason for them to go anywhere. It is those that are very good that should have played more that have reason to think about it. There are some that are best suited for a B team in any organization that will likely ask to go to YJ Wright to get a better experience. Only 2 have left YJA over last couple years...one to TG and one to Leg. One other went to TG and another to Leg after making YJA. As has been said by many, if you are not happy, there are other teams to go to. With 1 goal sperating these teams in "most" games, ...the other options are not that much better. They say that grass is greener on the other side. I've looked at the other side of grass and it is basically the same color. Once again...these verbal battles will be decided on the field. Igloo wins the Nationals and looked good. TG beat Igloo 4 out of 5. YJ wins Lax for Cure that included MD teams (regardless of bracket). None had a horrible season and none went undefeated. All will make for good games. Being on any of these 3 teams and add YJB to make the 4 top teams on the Island. The rest are...well...the rest.

Those are all valid points. Now, since people are finally in agreement that there are several competitive teams in this age group, how about we have these teams start scrimmaging on a regular basis instead of training on there own. That would be huge in getting all the girls better. That's what they do in MD
LOL. Because it's about the club directors ego's not the kids getting better.

In theory it would be a great to see all of these teams playing against each other, developing and not having to travel but in reality it will never happen. Poaching of players is very real and the above listed clubs are terrified of losing their top players to another club. After the YJ/TG game it was interesting to see the parents of the two clubs mingling as the directors of the clubs stood by to watch.

You are obviously part of the friends and family clown show! You keep spouting off about the one goal differential where anybody could see why YJA is quickly slipping off into the abyss. Those girls are receiving absolutely no coaching or development and the slide will continue unless drastic measures are taken. Anyone who watched the TG game could clearly see the lack of coaching, case in point TG went into a stall and one girl literally stood in place for minutes while nobody pressured the ball and not one peep from the sideline. Coaching staff looked like they had zero interest in the last half of that game. The talent is there unfortunately the girls won't benefit. Next summer the team will slip further because reality is nothing will be done and the girls that need to be moved down won't, better players who should see the field more won't and parents will continue to put up with this nonsense because it's oh so important to be part of yellow jacket blue.

Very generous ranking of the YJB as the 4th top team. I'm sure Leg, Jesters, Elevate and Liberty would all disagree.
How is the girls 2023 Team 90+1? Saw them in a few tourneys this summer? Coaching any good?
[quote=Anonymous]How is the girls 2023 Team 90+1? Saw them in a few tourneys this summer? Coaching any good?
Not that good. The rumor is that team has a bunch of girls leaving for other clubs.
You are making it seem that Igloo is unbeatable, They have 1 exceptional kid and a few other talented players. TG beat them and also lost to them. Plus igloo has not traveled to big tourneys to play NJ and MD top teams
I have been reading all these threads and the one thing I never see or hear about are the goalies for these teams. Of all these Long Island teams, does one team have better goalies than the other?
How is the girls 2023 Team 90+1? Saw them in a few tourneys this summer? Coaching any good?
Not sure but they brought in a new girls director who is all in. She's been at practices for a bunch of teams and looks to be evaluating the coaching.
Does not that good mean they are terrible or just not in the elite category?

Yeah, that is funny. So the usual balance would be YJ at any age group would attrack 6-8 of the top 10 kids on the island. Now you have them spread out with 2-4 on several different teams. This is why LI can't compete with MD teams at this age group. I saw all three of these teams play this weekend and not one of them has a full strong line up. All had multiple glaring holes, even on the starting lines. I like the idea of balance and options of multiple clubs, but it is at the expense of Long Island lax representing. You all should get together and pick one club and all go there, starting to get embarrassing for LI.

1 exceptional kid, just like YJ 2023 "A" team
Coach is great. Taking her daughter to another program to be on age level. She is a 24. Team was very solid. Not igloo or top gun or others at the top but they were competitive. I think the coach leaving will split the team up.
That is a shame, the team seemed to be very unselfish but did not have the elite team members.
Anyone with any sense of business or marketing would say "you're damn right!" You might prefer the taste of RC Cola but it will Never get the recognition or success of Coke or Pepsi. Fact. If you want to debate that it doesn't matter and showcases are everything, you have zero sense of business or marketing. And if your only goal is college recruiting, it is agreed...you better learn to market in addition to your club. If your goal is to have your daughter play with the top girls in their age, you play for a top club. If the goal is to be part of a fair team where everyone gets equal time and all get a participation ribbon, play somewhere else!

No exceptional players on YJ A or they wouldn't have lost to Igloo 2x and TG.
Totally agree. That's why Maryland has a handful of girls lacrosse teams of very talented girls. Some of the Long Island teams have multiple teams for the same age group, like Top Guns and Yellow Jackets. It's a money maker for them.
As far as Igloo, they did win the championship at the US Lacrosse Nationals last week in Virginia in the girls 2023 category. Top Guns lost in the quarterfinals to a PA team and Yellow Jackets lost 2x to Igloo.

How about the brilliant move to call for a stick check on TG, which failed. And resulted in a failed stick check on YJ (typical cheaters) results in a turnover and game over. Jackass coaching at it's best! TG laughed at that one!!
How is the girls 2023 Team 90+1? Saw them in a few tourneys this summer? Coaching any good?
Not sure but they brought in a new girls director who is all in. She's been at practices for a bunch of teams and looks to be evaluating the coaching.

Won't change over night but she will get them on the right path

Jesters is $65 for two rounds of tryouts. And $1050
For the summer season. That includes winter training indoors. Anyone else care to share? That's what this forum is for.

If not from Massapequa, don't bother. And even if you are from Massapequa, and you haven't been playing with them already, don't bother.

Overated how? Both YJ and TG have beat the top Maryland teams this past summer.

Haha you're funny! A failed stick check is the least of Thorn's worries. The game would have been lost either way. YJA is just not as good....which is why they lost! Next year will be worse.

Nope, don't need to be, but that's why everyone hates you. And with being on the field the whole game, if she's that good she would have got the job done. Instead, YJ has dropped down to #3 on LI. The club really could use some fresh players and coaches.

and parents.
Igloo went to Virginia for the US Lacrosse Nationals and won the championship. So they are venturing out to out-of-state tournaments. They are a fairly new club.

Igloo parents were sold on the premise that the club wouldn't travel off Long Island now they are. Clubs she be more upfront with parents.

Please stay on topic and continue to bash YJ Thorn/Jackoffalone. Thank you.
I saw that Jesters team play our NXT team week before Nationals in Pa and I felt they were a tougher team then TG and YJ. We handled TG whereas that Jester team had us beat. Igloo outplayed us though!
YJ 2023 "A" is in desperate for a coaching change. Lack of good coaching is apparent. Now we have a 3 year track record of poor coaching. Especially from the assistant coach (or is he the head coach). Definitely does not know the game of lacrosse. Has all that talent and he craps the bed every year.
I think they were looking for more competition, which there isn't a lot of on Long Island. Playing teams from Maryland is much more challenging. Top Guns and Igloo can't keep playing each. Lol

Let's see if they shake it up this year although I doubt it. CR 's making approx 42K per team with a roster of 24. Multiply that by 26 teams to get a grand total of $1,092,000. Thats not counting indoor and all the other stuff. It's really an embarrassment. You would think if you were making that kind of money you would be scared of ruining your brand. Guess not.

Problem is if CR was to make a sudden stop she'd have to pry Thorns head out of her [lacrosse]. I'd bet Giaccalone's life would be better if Thorn just did her job. He can't be having fun doing all the work and getting all the blame for failures.
Your joking right ? TG got smashed in Lax for the Cure by all Maryland Teams that YJ beat, and now you act as if you're the best team in the country getting third place after stalling for 20 minutes and calling for a referee stick check during a time out against a "terrible" YJ team at NATIONALS .

What did you do with your 4th place medal? Hopefully Cr doesn't hide the 23's in Delaware or Laxin out loud again. The mid Atlantic summer championship would be a more suitable tournament for a team everyone respects like YJ.
Can anyone share info on Empire or Elevate?

Don't let facts get in the way of your angry post. TG got smashed in Lax for the Cure? They lost by 1 goal to MD United in a time shortened game. They lost to Monster( YJ didn't play them) yes it was an impressive win by this YJ group their only one all summer. In Lax for the Cure it was slightly tainted playing in a B bracket ( Wright played in the A bracket) walking into the playoffs and winning playoff games that looked like hockey scores. Teams don't respect this team ? They beat most of the Maryland teams at least once (they did not face Hero's ). Igloo spanked you twice. And now your angry that your the 3rd best team on Long Island. The YJ aren't a "terrible team" they just have parents like you that bring the program down.

Oh, she'll hide the A team again! She knows they can't compete in more that one game per day. All the work goes to 1 girl and when she is gassed, it's over. CR is stuck with a lousy Asst. coach (scared to get rid of him) who is the boss of the Head coach in real life. Nothing will change on A and 2023 will continue to under perform. What she needs is a qualified A coach, a legitimate tryout/evaluation where the actual A coach pays attention during the tryout (unlike last year which everyone saw, what an embarrassment,) and some BALLS to make a change (which won't happen). 2023 is doomed to me mediocre. "A" coaches should have been relieved of their jobs last year after their tryout behavior.
Wow, YJ are a bunch of cry babies! So mad that you can't even win against the other LI teams that you a re now trying to belittle the teams that BEAT you fair and square, Jealousy in an unbecoming trait, and you are glowing green right now!
I really do hope CR looks closely at the 2023 situation. It isn't fair for anyone involved. Having 1 egotistical man personally manipulate the coach, parents, CR and the 2023 rosters is just absolutely wrong on so many levels. Its unethical. Everyone knows what is going on and how it is allowed to continue is beyond me. He's a bully and knows nothing about lacrosse developing players and coaching.

Or you can just leave, lots of great options where girls are happy, getting better, and beating YJ. Seems like a no brainer!

Actually, that would be you (loser=lost, to both TG and Igloo). Your team stinks and is getting worse. I'd be embarrassed to walk around in all that YJ apparel you purchased. We're all laughing at you!

The coach is doing the best he can with the talent he has. This team will improve they need to add talent and lower the girls that aren't playing they can develop on Wright's team.
The reason no one has been recruited from Igloo girls is because the oldest girls team is 2021. Give them a break.

GENIUS, the head coach is a "her"not a "he". "He" is not doing the best with what he has. "He" has more than any other team at that age group. "He" does not use them effectively because "he" has no lacrosse IQ and has proven it the past 3 years. If "he" had a lacrosse IQ "he" would be the head coach. Reason "he" is not is because "HE" lacks any type of lacrosse credentials. Plain and simple, "HE" does not know the game. Can you imagine if CR named him head coach? People would run for the hills,and they are running. YJ 2023 losing more talent every year.

That's kind of the point , some of the better players will leave to go to YJ knowing that they have a history of their better players essentially going wherever they want year after year while who knows with igloo.

News flash: no good 2023 player is going to YJ, the good players have left/ are leaving because they are not developing due to the mess the team is. Do you really have your head buried that far in the sand that you don't see what's going on. A shame
[quote=Anonymous]The reason no one has been recruited from Igloo girls is because the oldest girls team is 2021. Give them a break.
Igloo didn't send their 2021 or 2022 teams to the National Championship. If they are not even attending competitive tournaments how would you expect these girls to get recruited. You may as well just play for your school team for the same amount of exposure or go to a club that gives you an opportunity to be seen.
The "Good" players have left, the "Very Good" players still remain. Thise that were frustrated they didn't make the team 2 years ago left to the start up Leg. A very good player went to TG. 2 Excellent players from Comswogue were added to YJ and the team was just as good as TG & Igloo. The TEAM is doing just fine. The negative posts are coming from those NOT on the team trying to stir the Pot. We will be just great playing on a top team (ALL have agreed top 3 on LI, even if YJ Was always #1). Our 2023 YJA Family is all together despite the BS reports that we are not. We look forward to the Fall tournaments and numerous upcoming events. "Good " players will go elsewhere, "Very Good/Exceptional" players WILL play on YJA. A FACT that NONE of your opinions can change. You will keep responding with your negative energy. We will continue to grow.

News flash. That is almost every YJ team. Even if they're winning the parents aren't happy. We can't take the toxic environment and have moved on. It's a team sport. Most YJ teams are toxic.

The sky isn't falling. YJ is the top brand and the tryouts will be filled with girls hoping to have the opportunity to play in this club. My guess is at least 3 2023 teams. You may have a couple of girls that leave the blue or gold team for greener pastures but they'll be replaced.
Will the YJ have a 3rd team for next season?
No, no one wants to play for YJ in this age group. They won't have enough players to make a third team. Everyone is flocking to other programs due to the incompetence of the coaching on their A team. I do hear very good things about coach Wright however she is the B coach. She does develop players but your child has to get on that team if you are lucky. If you are on A you sit the bench if you are not a friend or family of the coach and his assistant. A lot of nepotism and favoritism. Better experiences elsewhere
This is getting a little unhealthy for some of you.

2. You do not like BT
3. You do not like YJ and CR
4. The YJ 2023 girls are not good
5. The current 2023 YJ girls are leaving for better clubs
6. Igloo and TG beat YJ this year at Nationals.
7. Your daughter left YJ and you and your couldn't be happier.
8. The parents on 2023 YJ are the worst.
Take a break from BOC enjoy the rest of your summer with your daughter take a step back from girls youth travel lacrosse. I wish all the Long Island teams the best of luck next year. Hopefully we get to play again next year and continue a nice rivalry between the local clubs without the BOC nonsense.

yes good lacrosse players are assigned a bench seat. they train but don't play in the games. big speeches about playing to win but we don't win. Its a joke..this is where 2023 YJ is really doing a number on their reputation. The fact that people left and are leaving speaks volumes

NO! Please do not take a break. We love reading all this drama - it's made for great conversations when we run into other lacrosse parents at the boardwalk bars. If you Long Islanders stop - then us Marylanders will not have anything to help us make it through all this club BS. Although, we are blessed with the multiple clubs within easy driving distance of each other, we do not have to settle for one club and be miserable there. For example, if we do not like M&D, Sky Walkers, TLC and Hero's are just around the corner. And if those are not enough MD United and Capital are not that far off. And if the idea of my kid playing on a "B" team for one of those clubs - does not sit well with me - we can always got to one of the other dozens of clubs around Maryland. Please keep posting, I established a routine at the beginning of our vacation last week and I only have the remainder of this week to read the posts as I drink my morning coffees. Besides, what are we going to talk about at the bars at night. Please keep posting.

How did that go for YJ last year? Good girls left and the replacements were hardly standouts, rode pine. Why would anyone do that to their daughter?

awesome! ^^spot on
YJ is now the 3rd ranked girls team at 2023 on LI. The best girls will want to be on the best teams, and that is not YJ. This has happened just as predicted, and we will witness the further decline of YJ as time goes on. Fish rotting from the head down.

The coaches in this age group are fine the parents not so much.
I don't know much about Elevate other than they have a great 2021 team. Empire just created a 2023 Nassau team and they did fairly well for their first year. They won a couple of tourneys and made it to the championship in others. They did some fun out of state tourneys, like Hershey and Great Wolf in MA. The coaches are great. Kids love them. I've heard no complaints.

I will say, my experience with the YJ parents at the US Nationals is not good. They didn't have many fans. They are rude, obnoxious, classless and act like petulant children. The way they would yell at the refs was disgusting. The things they said to their own children would make anyone cringe (apparently not them).
And the players are not much better. They are sore losers and disrespectful. One YJ kid spit in her hand before she shook the hands of the winning team. Very disgraceful.
And the best part is listening to them go on and on and on about why they lost. It was never their fault. It was the refs, or they were too hot or it rained...like I said, not their fault.
You are full of it Pinocchio

Did you really just say "National Championship" and "competitive tournaments" in the same post? If you're going to make that claim about Igloo, at least pick a correct reference.
The 2023 Igloo Team is coached by the star players father which is the only reason why the team did so well. Remove Daddy and the player and the team
will fall apart. certain girls are only their for the name since they barely get to play. Maybe 7 girls on the team are worth talking about. They will
say oh we won the nationals but many states didn't even send their top teams to the event. Something igloo won't admit.

All kidding aside, does Igloo have the ability to get into the better tournaments going forward with entering only one age group (that being 2023). Don't tournaments look for clubs with multiple teams across several age groups?

The girl is no doubt a good player, but she is not consistent. I have also seen her do absolutely nothing in games, such as the 4-1 loss to TG. As for the Nationals, the reason why some other states (MD) did not send teams is because the girls were too old. (Cheating Holdbacks). Keep in mind that both YJ and TG beat the MD teams in various tournaments throughout the summer.

say oh we won the nationals but many states didn't even send their top teams to the event. Something igloo won't admit.
All kidding aside, does Igloo have the ability to get into the better tournaments going forward with entering only one age group (that being 2023). Don't tournaments look for clubs with multiple teams across several age groups?
No. Igloo only has one competitive team.

That's one team more than most of those second tier clubs have that do get into those "big" tournaments. Those supposed "big" tournaments put quantity over quality. Follow the money.

The girl is no doubt a good player, but she is not consistent. I have also seen her do absolutely nothing in games, such as the 4-1 loss to TG. As for the Nationals, the reason why some other states (MD) did not send teams is because the girls were too old. (Cheating Holdbacks). Keep in mind that both YJ and TG beat the MD teams in various tournaments throughout the summer.
You expect consistency from a 7th grader? Seriously? You talk about these girls like they're professionals. What sport were you playing in 7th grade consistently, superstar?

Then why doesn't Igloo send their teams to the play the MD, NJ, VA teams during the summer? Playing Elevate, 90+1 and Beach Bums all summer isn't going to put them in any conversation, it's PAL. Excluding the 2023 team, which can play.

Yes Dad, if you want to brag about your daughter, she must show up at every game, and yes, in the 7th grade. That's what superstars do, otherwise, you are just another decent player.
Sorry, I was only saying that based on what my friend has told me because her daughter is on the team.
That's a great point. It's never about one person. She is a great player, but she has a defense and a goalie that keeps them in the game when she's off. That's something everyone likes to forget or don't bother knowing at all. Defense and goalies always seem to get the shaft (no pun intended)
Igloo has not played teams M&D Black, Md Utd, Heroes, elite for a full game. Tg is the better of these teams

This is true. YJ and TG also have some real standout players. But, you can't play lacrosse by yourself!! Imagine if we had all these great girls on the same team?? Would be unstoppable!

YJ lit the defense and goalie up when the coach's kid wasn't on the field that team will only go as far as she can carry them.

Right now size is a factor is the game at this age. Referees don't call blatant charges as these bigger kids just plow defenders over going to goal. Parents on the sidelines are impressed when kids just barrel through. Tough to be on the sidelines sometimes listening to what some perceive as good plays and referees ignore. It's a hard game to play defense in when the majority of the calls are in favor of the offense.

Size is definitely a factor. The big fast powerful girls are a big reason teams like Igloo and TG are doing well. YJ needs a few more girls that have some size.

I would be more embarrassed that one kid lit up the entire YJ team and took them down twice! Doesn't say very much about the quality of this team
I guess you were watching the same game.

Or the coaching if you can't figure out how to stop a one girl team that's problem.
so it is a one player team?
I disagree! The big strong players get constant whistles even when they have not had an infraction. If the other player falls down or stumbles the refs call it every time.
No way. Has a few string girls just like every other team. Not everyone a rockstar. Igloo is a solid team. But watch out. Not all the parents are happy about spending that kind of money. Few going to a certain NAssua south shore team tryouts. That's a fact.

Igloo is very expensive
Tryouts are cheap around 75 to 125. We paid around2000 last year. My girls is21 black tgs.
Igloo is not expensive if you consider fall/winter/ spring, summer training - as well as stick clinic Saturday mornings.
Calculate all your ala carte charges.
Yes, Empire created a 2023 girls Nassau team this summer and they did quite well. They practiced at a few different locations in Nassau County. Their coach is the head varsity lacrosse coach at Lynbrook High School. All the girls and the parents love him. I think they have tryouts next week.
Does anyone know if any of these teams are looking for goalies?
That's not even remotely true.

When you factor in that they do mostly local inexpensive tournaments it is very expensive. I cringe to think how much the price will increase when they start hitting the Jersey Turnpike tournaments more often.
Really - you will cringe! Is that what has you up at night? Thinking about how much another club program may charge. Knock other programs to feel good about yourself or try to promote your own program?

not expensive if you attend all of them but some kids do other sports and miss most of fall/winter things...plus don't they carry 25 girls ?
and play the same 12
Hershey, Mass, Hofstra, Holtzville. They are a new program so I bet they will enter more this year. I know people will say those are not "competitive" tourneys, but it's a great start.
I'm not sure where your information is coming from but Igloo went to New Jersey & Virginia this summer. They also start their season in September. They practice throughout the winter and do indoor tourneys. I will be honest, I'm not sure what's considered expensive anymore. They are all expensive, especially when you have more than one kid doing it.
from what I heard the 2023 Nassau empire girls team only has 1 goalie and they are looking for another....there is a lot of talk about this team and I will have my daughter at the tryouts this saturday
They played in tournaments on LI , Massachusetts and Hershey PA and did well in all of them

They played in the second bracket at Hofstra and weren't that competitive.
"There is a lot of talk about this team" - yes from the few parents on the team trying to promote the new program. Good luck with it.
Empire was a new team, and while they were in the 2nd bracket they did beat TG purple very easily (~10 or 11-5). So yes while they aren't beating Igloo or TG, they are a solid program, and the parents really like Coach Tetro
Anyone know if there will be a coaches change for YJ next year?

23-- word is Jackolone is gone
24--Chris Ramos the MS JV coach is joining the 2024's as well as the old 91 (2023) coach. I don't believe Jackie Williams is coming back

Parent coaches should not be coaching their kids team period! If they love the sport and love coaching so much give them another team. Even when they try to be fair they are always criticized and at the end of the day most of them do it to self promote their own kid. PAL is one thing but not in competitive travel sports.

Agreed, and from what I heard about the 90+1 coach is that she ALWAYS started here daughter, ran plays via of her and she was a 2024 kid who may do well play against 24 kids but was not the type of kid who should play above her age group. I think that's the nicest way I can put it. Maybe they give her the B team at 24 YJ

The coach and herr daughter are going to the A team. Williams is out
Heard some YJ girls guest played with Empire. Some parents not too happy
Giaccolone is listed as a 2023 coach on the YJ website.
Talk is 90+1 coach always rotated girls and was very fair - girls loved her
Heard some YJ girls guest played with Empire. Some parents not too happy
the YJ girls played for both teams(empire and YJ) did not guest star
Means on A you got to be a top 3 attacker to start; cause Mommy's daughter always starts!!! The parent whose kid is the 4th best attacker on the team better get used the sidelines for the start of games
Talk is 90+1 coach always rotated girls and was very fair - girls loved her
She may have rotated girls but every iso play went through her daughter.
More parents coaches on YJ. What is going on? Now 2024 team will follow suit and have the same issues that 2023 team is having. Whether Giaccolone stays or they replace him with the rumored MS dad, isn't that still a parent coach? YJ used to pride themselves as being the elite club that didn't use parent coaches. Tough to say that now.........
YJ parents or Empire parents?
I've heard a lot of YJ and TG parents talking about that goalie. She's supposed to be really good. But teams should have two goalies.
The YJ girls also didn't play in every tournament.

God forbid the kid earned it..maybe some lose sight that starting lines are based on attendance and effort at practice as most coaches follow

Have you seen how Bert coaches the 2021 group. Same will go for the JV MT Sinai Coach town over talent.
That's why I'm telling my girls to tryout for other teams. Once you lose the fun aspect, there is no point in playing because the girls lose the motivation to move forward.

That's just an idiotic statement. So you're telling me that TG, YJ, & Igloo won all their tournaments by themselves with no help from the goalies? The goalie from YJ is very good. Team 91's goalie was good. I don't know what level of teams they played, but good nonetheless. TG has two goalies, I think, and I don't think TG won with an open net. The Igloo goalie also played for Empire. I saw her play with Igloo and she was great. I don't know how she did with Empire. I know they won a few tournaments.
So in your infinite wisdom, please tell me how any team wins without a strong goalie? And no, teams don't win with just a good offense or defense, that's why it's called a team.
To be quite honest, there is one or two people on these threads who are completely obnoxious. If a parent wants to brag about their daughter, they should. That's why we have these types of forums. It's called being a proud parent. Please cut the crap already. If you don't like what people have to say on this thread, then go start your own thread titled "2023 Obnoxious Parent"

Hope they know they will go from having fun and playing to riding the bench. The best MS girls are already on YJ and don't do much, feel sorry for the girls going over thinking this will be a good move.
Have you seen how Bert coaches the 2021 group. Same will go for the JV MT Sinai Coach town over talent.

Which is exactly why the best 2021 B are leaving
Never happen. The best are the Mt Sinai / Nthpt girls. The others are fill ins and have no where to go, most have already played for 2-3 clubs.

I'm thinking Elevate prevails again. Elevate definitely got stronger. But keep putting a target on your back. I don't think the games you'll be playing against Igloo and Elevate will be as close as you do.

Igloo, Elevate, Empire, LEG, Liberty and others need to stop hiding out in Mass and Penn tournaments, and test their metal against the Delaware, Maryland, and other Long Island teams. Then you can talk legit trash about how good you really are. Go play a few weekends against the likes of M&D, Heros, STEPS, TLC, and Skywalkers, just to name a few. All are accomplished programs. Then see how many T-shirts you win. Push your program directors to play harder tournaments in 2018. That's one of the ways your girls get better. Play better competition, and learn from the results.
Empire Mom - your self generated hype will make you look stupid come tourney time. You will not be able to compete.

That's not what they were saying. But, if you want to beat the king you have to take them on.
If your daughter is in 7th grade, you don't need to go to Maryland yet. You will play against the best teams in the country, but recruiters are not watching these games. In 5 years she will burn out. Simple fact, Maryland teams don't come to LI. All winning there does is make more money for the club. You can go there when they are of recruiting age, and save yourself some money by staying on LI. Going to Maryland adds an extra $300-500 to your cost each weekend. The rosters on the big clubs will change when the girls get serious in high school. The natural athletes, girls that train in off season, and better players will continue with the sport. Chest pounding parents bragging about club lax in 7th grade is comical. Save your money and do some off-season workouts so your daughter improves.

Yes the All Star Express and 3rd bracket at Laxin out Loud provided much better competition. The girls looked much better this past summer

Maybe there is a reason why they are hiding. As they say in Baltimore: "You come at the king, you best not miss."

For your edification, it's "test their mettle", not "metal". Mettle is the courage to carry on. If someone wants to "test your mettle," they want to see if you have the heart to follow through when the going gets tough. You're welcome.

Why are teams like Elevate and liberty and legacy in this conversation? How about the jesters. They beat all 3 of these teams. Never had a problem with liberty black. Best elevate last two times. And legacy last summer.

Jesters need to compete in stronger tournaments. Jesters should be playing in the National Draw, Lax for the Cure and Mid Atlantic Summer Classic in Maryland to challenge themselves. When they play in non descript tournaments it doesn't do them any good.

The bench riders of those teams went to Empire, they are still ok players and will probably start there. Empires best girls left. I know one who went to TG.

That is absolutely false. 1 girl went to TG bc its closer to where she lives. There were 2 girls on igloo, 1 left completely & the other is doing both team (I think) 1 is goalie who i heard is very good. The other I think is mid or attack. Not sure
I've seen all these comments about "bench warmers". That doesn't mean someone is not good. Maybe they haven't had the chance to show their talent
I mean look at tom Brady for example. He was a 6th round pick, didnt play 1 st season & only played in 2nd season when Bledsoe was injured. That turned out well for him and NE.

Are we talking about empire Nassau? Or Empire Suffolk?
My friends daughter is on the team and just confirmed only 1 girl voluntarily left to go to TG Black. outside of that no one else left.
Players from Igloo, Top Guns Black and Yellow Jackets left their organization and joined The Empire Nassau 2023 team. The team was established last year and had a great season. So much talk about the talent and coaching staff that during 1 tournament I walked over with a few other parents just to watch their games and we were all very Impressed.
As a coach looking at the team from the outside they will be ranked this year as a contender with the top organizations.
If you haven't seen or competed against them I'm sure they would be happy to scrimmage other teams during the
fall season.
Funny Yellow Jackets is falling apart with girls and coaches bailing out on their teams. Lately their teams
are NOT the team to beat anymore. They've become a B+ organization at best. I know the truth hurts and you will
disagree but no one is impressed anymore. So pay your money and have a good time wearing your yellow jacket
apparel if that makes you feel good about yourself oh wait! it's suppose to be about your kid NOT you.
What a Joke!

The Empire team by far has the best spin doctors around. I get it that you are trying to establish a business but you can also say that Igloo and Jesters 23 team are relatively new and it wouldn't even be a close game if Empire played either of those two teams.
What defines great season? Losing to Blue Devils or Elevate? Just wondering? And what defines a great coach? Clear out of the way of the mid fielder that is running down to goal?
Many girls that attended Empire tryouts chose to go to Elevate. You forgot to mention that in your previous posts. The Elevate team is going to be even stronger next summer.
Why not sign up for some of the Fall tourneys? Let's see how the team stacks up. Until then stop trying to compare yourself to the likes of YJ and Elevate and just enjoy that your daughter is on a local team, having fun and hopefully learning something too.

So YJ has a single age group that is merely on par with the other top clubs on LI and the B+ label gets applied to the whole organization? If that's the truth that hurts, it must hurt all the rest of the LI teams as they must then be considered C+ organizations.
I would agree that YJ is still one of the top clubs on LI but have lost there mojo. Kind of reminds me of the old prestigous companies that have the big names but become less appealing with each year. Between the politics and the parents a lot of people are looking for teams that offer less drama. Better off w TG Black or Igloo for your future Tewarton winning children. Definitely think Empire 2023 and 2021 Nassau teams will be very good. Elvate has a solid program every year. Curious to see how Liberty and Legacy stack up. The new recruiting rule must be killing these parents who want their kids to commit to a college in 7th and 8th grade. I look forward to theresponses from the trolls on here who bash little girls and whose self worth revolves around the team they pay big money to.

If you haven't seen or competed against them I'm sure they would be happy to scrimmage other teams during the
fall season.
The Empire team by far has the best spin doctors around. I get it that you are trying to establish a business but you can also say that Igloo and Jesters 23 team are relatively new and it wouldn't even be a close game if Empire played either of those two teams.
What defines great season? Losing to Blue Devils or Elevate? Just wondering? And what defines a great coach? Clear out of the way of the mid fielder that is running down to goal?
Many girls that attended Empire tryouts chose to go to Elevate. You forgot to mention that in your previous posts. The Elevate team is going to be even stronger next summer.
Why not sign up for some of the Fall tourneys? Let's see how the team stacks up. Until then stop trying to compare yourself to the likes of YJ and Elevate and just enjoy that your daughter is on a local team, having fun and hopefully learning something too.
I have also confirm that 2 girls from Igloo left to go to Empire after making Igloo. THEY CHOSE to leave Igloo. Just to be clear, NOT ONE kid chose to go to Elevate. Nothing against Elevate, but if you're going to lie, I must point it out.
If I was a coach on Empire, I would gladly sign them up for fall tourneys to play your "chosen teams"
You also seem to forget that your "YJ girls" lost 2x to Igloo in Virginia. So yeah, Empire can compete with YJ without even breaking a sweat. So based on your own logic, YJ should probably step down to a "b" bracket.
Don't worry, your child will quit lacrosse bc she will be so damn stressed by you.
Have you committed her to a college yet? I mean, she's 11/12, you're kind of late to the game. She must have been recruited in 3rd grade.
FYI: Elevate and a couple of other teams have been offering free "tuition" for lack of a better word, for certain positions.
Let us know when your team plays Empire, I would love to come down and watch. (Assuming my kid doesn't have a tourney)
[quote=Anonymous]I see so many lofty comments from Empire parents.
Who is this "wonder coach"?! As stand now, your best girls have, and will continue, to leave for other programs. It's happening already in many age groups. Let's see you throw your hat in the ring in MD, big girls.
I would love to know what "best girls" you think left or will leave Empire? If that's so true, what are their names? It's quite the opposite actually. There are at least 4 girls that left Igloo, TG black & YJ to go play for Empire.
Are we talking about empire Nassau? Or Empire Suffolk?
Nassau
Can Nassau Empire compete with Jesters, Elevate or Liberty? They can't compete with YJ, TG or Igloo
elevate and liberty were b teams and competed in b brackets....and do you mean they cant compete with the obnoxious parents from those teams or the girls? lets be clear
They can def compete with igloo yj & TG. Even now more so bc they got 4 players from those teams.
I don't care how much someone paid my child, she will NEVER play for yj or TG. More so yj. The parents alone are a nightmare.
My friends daughter is on the team and just confirmed only 1 girl voluntarily left to go to TG Black. outside of that no one else left.
Players from Igloo, Top Guns Black and Yellow Jackets left their organization and joined The Empire Nassau 2023 team. The team was established last year and had a great season.

OH DAMMMMM LOL " PREACH IT "
Sounds like Empire 2023 is going to light it up this year.
My understanding is that one of their fastest players left for TG but by far not one the best
You forgot to add that one of Empire's best players left for TG[/quote]
And she will leave TG when she realizes how bad the winter trainings are and that SS pays more attention to her new puppy at practice then her athletes.
Oh my god how dare you forget to write down 1 player voluntarily left the team LOL. Shame on You. Your such a bad person.

1st tg Igloo & yj r the best. Now they r "b". My brain can't take the flip flopping
By your logic YJ should be king of the hill by now?
[/quote]
That's not what they were saying. But, if you want to beat the king you have to take them on. [/quote]
Yj is the top team, but lost to Igloo 2x & 1x to TG in va. So I guess yj was taken on. So is tg or igloo the king now ?
Why? YJ beat out a bunch of the top MD teams to win LFC, TG won National Draw, and went to the championship against top MD teams in two other big MD tourneys. Igloo beat out a bunch of good teams including YJ to win Nationals. I believe that makes all three of them A teams with TG probably having the most consistant performances. Why would you say any of those teams are B? That is if you are basing your evaluation on performance, and not just running your mouth?

YJ
Empire
Legacy
Elevate
91
Jesters beat elevate , legacy and 91 and Liberty Those teams should be in their own thread. And empire ? Who did they play? Never heard of them until they started talking about themselves here on this site
Good point. Jesters need to be in there. It's a shame the teams can't play or scrimmage each other more often. Would save us all a lot of time and money, and all the LI programs would benefit/impove.

Can say the same about Jesters..... Never seen them play in a quality tournament.
Who are the Jesters and Empire? All this talk about new teams. They can not be put in the same category with TG, Igloo and YJ until they play in the better tourneys.
Yes! That's a great idea for LI girls clubs across the board. So much talent here on the island. Let's do a league.. pay the refs out of pocket. All these directors have fields.. I challenge the directions to do the right thing for these girls… Let's have some local scrimmages keep everything in-house good games good learning and cheap
I am a jester parent. And I agree! Been promised they will amp up the tourny selection next year. Last year was flat and too safe. Good players. Mostly south Shore girls- Bethpage, wantagh , Merrick, Pequa , amityvile, CSH, Farmingdale. Blue Collar team. Happy to be here.

are you new to lacrosse that you have never heard of them ? you cant be serious ?
Oh my god how dare you forget to write down 1 player voluntarily left the team LOL. Shame on You. Your such a bad person.

You don't want me call you out, Lynbrook parent, do you? Be happy that your kid is now in a spot where she can be happy. Stop ripping on other kids and other clubs. You know what they say about karma don't you......
Blue Devils are out of Center Moriches and the best girls are from SWR

So if Empire got so much better; who did they get..................they bringing up the 14 year old 2023 kids from MD or what??
What programs have got better from this past summer?? TG lost players but have their top core; Igloo lost goalie but added a couple new kids, YJ teams TBD, Elevate, Jesters and LIberty remain the same??

The teams will remain largely the same, remember that when girls are lost, others are gained. As far as TG, they lost the bottom of the barrel, but gained the top from other teams such as Empire. YJ will be interesting as there looks to be a shake up in the works. They will add 91 girls, 2-3 of which I believe are good enough to be top level players, probably not starters, but solid. Lots of girls need to be cut there, we'll see how it pans out. Empire will be worse, Igloo the same. Jesters will be good, they have a tall athletic group of girls who could break out. I believe Liberty also lost a top player to TG, being they were not great to begin with, they will probably be worse. not sure about Elevate.

Elevate added 91 girls and should be better this summer.
I understand liberty doesn't have enough players to fill 2 teams in years 2019, 2020 & 2021. Is that true?
True...Liberty going thru, what I would guess, must be happening to all of the other "watered down' travel lax programs..travel fatigue...
Have to figure that parents are re-evaluating the need for travel lax with advent of new recruiting rules in place...
Totally true. Getting too expensive and time consuming. Parents and kids getting burnt out. Going to continue to dwindle like many soccer programs unless it changes.

I know they got girls from 91 tg & igloo. Yj teams can't seem to get outta their own way. Yj may b good but ppl don't want the stress from them
You ever notice how when someone leaves TG or YJ they were the "bottom of the barrel"," pine riders" , but when they gain a player it's the "top" player from another team? Horrible speaking about 12 year old girls this way.
really? i haven't noticed a drop in the other LI clubs. parents probably tired of DG and the political mess she has created.
care to elaborate?....'political mess"?..
There's no political mess. Just a few upset, vocal parents of varsity players. Justified? Who knows but every parent thinks their daughter is a starter and only 12 can start.
Cannot be easy coaching HS in town like Manhasset where every girl/boy born with stick in the crib....and can only imagine the smoke-blowing that goes on as parents try to get in good with DG...and her being so warm and fuzzy ......
You don't want me call you out, Lynbrook parent, do you? Be happy that your kid is now in a spot where she can be happy. Stop ripping on other kids and other clubs. You know what they say about karma don't you......
We all know its the Lynbrook guy juicing up the program; better than ripping on other teams, but that said.............
So if Empire got so much better; who did they get..................they bringing up the 14 year old 2023 kids from MD or what??

Goalie is definitely a hard position, no arguing that. The top goalies right now in the age group on LI are the soon to be YJ Blue goalie (played 91 last year) and the Legacy goalie. The other club goalies are pretty comparable in ability.

You are spot on! Btw, it is all ages, not just the 12 year olds.

One of the better teams actually
Who have they beat or played competitively with? Nobody has heard of them, which probably means they play in PAL level tournaments. Sounds similar to LI All-Stars. If your daughter is serious about lacrosse, you are in the wrong place.
Beat Empire (Nassau and Suffolk) And 91.
You just made that other Poster's argument..... Beating Empire and 91 is not something to brag about. Go play in Maryland, Delaware, and Jersey tournaments like YJ, TG, Liberty, and Elevate. After your successful there, come let us know. Until then, enjoy your PAL level tournaments. If your kid is serious, and you are serious about lacrosse, then you may want to get with a more reputable program.

Goalie mom or not that is def not true at all. i thought 91 goalie went to elevate? never seen legacy goalie. ive seen both igloo goalies, the 1 that left is by far better than the rest, no doubt. tg tried to get her (Im a tg parent, and no, not a goalie dad) one tg goalie left dont know to where. and idk who the troll is that is so negative with comments like Im pretty sure ur daughter is pretty average too is a jerk off get off the thread if ur going to be an [lacrosse] And as far as your stupid comment about 91 never winning anything, well ur just ignorant. a goalie is never to be gauged on that given that its a whole team effort. thats just ignorant

Wait when did they beat 91???? played 91 once this past summer at lax fest and the score 10-5 in the favor of 90+1. Maybe you did beat Empire, but its seems everyone beat them.....................BUT they will be awesome next summer zzzzzzzzzz

100% right; def the parent of the Igloo goalie that went to Empire. She is a good goalie, and no reason to come on here and make believe you are someone else just unbiasedly bragging about her. I def wouldnt go as far as to say she is the best on island but she is very solid. I think all the BBP goalie and the 91/YJ are the two top net minders, but who knows maybe the best goalie in this grade doesnt even play club ball or even goalie yet. They are 12 year old girls and plenty will change over the next 5 years......hopefully all for the better for everyone!!

This thread is like a car crash, I can't help but watch even though it's pretty sickening. So much misinformation on here. Girls did leave teams and girls get cut. The non YJ, Igloo, TG teams probably will get better and be more competitive. They are 12 people! Get a grip.. most kids don't always peak at that age and if they do, then others might pass them by. Yes Those 3 teams are the most respected teams right now, but that does not mean other teams can't/won't catch up to them. So stop putting kids and other organizations down. If someone wants to brag that their kids team looks like it's going to be good this year, so freaking what? Maybe they will be! No one knows everything that goes on on other teams.

Why brag? Wait until the season starts, enter tournaments that these teams will be in. be competitive and you won't have to ask for respect it will be given to you.

It doesn't seem to be difficult - she has all the players paying her fees to be in her club team already. Reality is She cannot hide behind running a few chosen underclassmen up and down the field (including her niece) and expect to win. They had a terrible season . Manhasset has always been a great program but morale is low and people now see that the coach is not what they believed her to be. She may have been an exceptional player from High School, College and World Team; but that does not translate as a coach. She has poor social skills, cannot communicate with the players and does not foster any sense of team amongst the players. as you said she isn't warm and fuzzy at all. Who needs that?
With all these teams pounding their chests that they should be in the conversation as a contender, where are you in the LI tournament circuit this fall? A great inexpensive tournament is happening this weekend, Lax Against Eating Disorders. How come YJ is the only major Club there??

Because it's soccer season. The kids need to put down the sticks for a couple of months and enjoy something else.

Actually, girls lacrosse is the dead end sport. But that wasn't the original point. My point is that kids that are 11 and 12 should be doing other things instead of lacrosse. Doesn't have to be soccer, could be volleyball for all I care. Just to get a break.
Plus, the tournament that is mentioned is another YJ event and most people do not want to be associated with the YJ regardless of the charity.
Blah blah blah, best in the island. Come on down to Bmore hun and catch a beat down from Heros and M&D!

Umm, No we were asked to contribute to that too
Watching YJ Blue, Gold and TG play today, it seems that TG is a step ahead of Blue, and Gold took a few steps back. The new YJ goalie will be an important improvement to that team, without her the scores would have been much worse.
YJ teams at this age group are an embarrassment to the organization. Glad there is going to be a new coach, I bet a lot of girls are getting nervous!

Agreed. The goalie kept us in the game. The TG field players are very skilled. Hoping the new coach helps changes the atmosphere on this team. Calling them an embarrassment is uncalled for they lost 1 game today to a talented team.

Definitely a little harsh. YJ Blue has several very talented players. Was a great game today between two very good teams, full of dedicated awesome young ladies. It's a shame YJ lost great players to TG, however, YJ new goalie is fantastic. A great rivalry, helps all the girls get better so WE can kick some MD But!
Gold wasn't at their best no doubt, only a couple girls showed up to really play..the rest were just through the motions and were not into it.
Top Guns head and shoulders above YJ teams.
Top Guns head and shoulders above YJ teams.
I wouldn't say head and shoulders, but YJB definitely a few players short. However, I noticed that YJB certainly separated themselves from Gold. Blue probably would be the top team in the age group but the whole coaching debacle of friends and family has tainted this team. They lost girls to other teams that would have been difference makers. Girls that would have been scoring goals for them are now scoring against them. A shame. With new coaches and players imminent, we'll see if they can get there act together? Not sure if it's possible at this point.

[quote=Anonymous]Top Guns head and shoulders above YJ teams.
I wouldn't say head and shoulders, but YJB definitely a few players short. However, I noticed that YJB certainly separated themselves from Gold. Blue probably would be the top team in the age group but the whole coaching debacle of friends and family has tainted this team. They lost girls to other teams that would have been difference makers. Girls that would have been scoring goals for them are now scoring against them. A shame. With new coaches and players imminent, we'll see if they can get there act together? Not sure if it's possible at this point.
TG looked better. YJ Blue goalie excellent addition the field players weren't very sharp. YJ Gold didn't look good at all. If TG and YJ merged that would be one heck of a team.
Where did these teams play
[quote=Anonymous]Watching YJ Blue, Gold and TG play today, it seems that TG is a step ahead of Blue, and Gold took a few steps back. The new YJ goalie will be an important improvement to that team, without her the scores would have been much worse.
Agreed. The goalie kept us in the game. The TG field players are very skilled. Hoping the new coach helps changes the atmosphere on this team. Calling them an embarrassment is uncalled for they lost 1 game today to a talented team.
Agreed, and WOW that 91 goalie that is now on YJ is excellent!! Hats off to that goaltendingperformance, esp in a 7v7 setting.

New top players from 91 made NO impact at all. Just more averageness. Damn shame YJ can't coach up the kids they have. The classic "tail wagging the dog" scenario. Smart ones left and went to TG or elsewhere. CR better shake it up at tryouts or get used to the back seat and taking 4th and 5th place. 2023 needs a coach who is skilled at coaching. Getting these people who were good players with no credentials or real coaching experience is more of the same nonsense. BT may have been a great player in her day but definitely not a great coach. Thats why we were outclassed by TG again.YJ 2023 spinning out of control.

YJ tryouts will be interesting to say the least.

There were only 2 field players from 91 and the goalie (3 in total). One was the coaches daughter who fit in well on the Blue team, and another girl who is a defender, but wth said that these were the TOP players from 91??? 2 players a goalie and you make that comment???

Saw CR on the sidelines, she didn't seem happy with what she saw.
I think a couple showed that they certainly were on par with blue. But why would they want to come up and sit on bench? I m sure some of the gold girls must be getting frustrated especially if they kids are in tune to the politics of it all.
Wasn't yesterday a 7v7 tourn, for charity? This is indeed the most insane age group of all time.

CR could be not happy with what she saw from the blue team

Yes.91 was a mixed 23/24 team. That was top of the pack. The goalie is outstanding and a great add.

Because that's just how evil she is, and [lacrosse] stupid the YJ parents are. YJ has been doing this for a long time now. I guess it helps them get a better write off come tax time.

Please this team is solid. The athletes here are far superior to any in this age on Long Island. By the end of the season they will once again be the among the two best teams in the country.

CR always pulls up a few players from gold. They only play the bench though. There was some changes yesterday. but it didn't matter
one girl went down to Gold last year, and now is back up, but still does nothing except have size. The girls that were moved up last year are back down . A total waste of a year for them spending all that money, didn't play, and now the embarrassment of getting demoted. All the flip flopping is ridiculous. Does it get any worse??
What changes did she make?
The new goalie was a good change. More changes needed

The Gold team lacks talent, as does the bottom half of the Blue team. CR needs to go outside of the organization to get girls that can play.

I hear this develope theory over and over again. That can only make a slight difference. Training and practice is great but it doesn't make slow kids into fast kids, it doesn't turn non athletic kids into athletic kids, it doesn't make a kid lost and oblivious on the field into a field general with great vision. It can bring a kids game up a notch or two, but most other kids on previous blue teams often were there because of the things you can't teach, speed, field awareness, aggression, athletic ability etc. you really think you can take any old group of kids and turn them around into a team that is going to go down to MD and go toe to toe with all the teams down there? Sorry, don't work that way.

I think both teams have talented girls. The management is a mess and egos are in the way. its too bad. it interfered with the development of the girls.

I'll tell you why it happened. YJ favored kids due to "who you Know" starting in 3rd grade, certain parents would not associate with others, and only cheer for their own cohort. Ironically, some of girls who these "chosen ones" snubbed their noses at got sick of the BS and left. Several turned out to be better than the Blue core and are producing on other teams. All the while, other organizations were building a group of talented and loyal players. In the end gluteny and greed has done that group in. Sad for them. And one more thing, some very nice and talented girls are thinking the grass will be greener miving to a YJ team....be VERY careful what you wish for, ask the girls who left why they did and how lacrosse became fun again before you sell your destroy your daughters love for the sport.

That sounds great! 2023 has been lacking behind the older YJ age groups. I was wondering if they were going to ever have four top-level elite teams like the 2019's. Looks like things are on the upswing in the 2023's. Glad to see that this age group is finally moving towards the "Yellow Jackets way".

How do you make 4 elite teams when you barely have any elite players? If the handful (maybe 5) great players were smart they would leave YJ and join TG or Igloo, as the team will only get worse with the influx of more mediocre players, with the exception of the goalie. How many years of poor performance do you put up with before you realize it's time to move on?

NOT going to be ELITE when you hold a BS tryout and have girls who haven't even tried out yet playing on "A". Gonna be the same old BS. You don't just throw good athletes together and expect to have an elite team. You need to 1st get a coach who is capable of developing the kids. Btw, BT track record shows she isn't capable of this. Next you need to have a legitimate tryout with real evaluations. Last year BT wasn't even paying attention during tryouts. Teams are pre determined before tryouts. Watch and you shall see! Guarantee all the 91 Mt Sinai kids are on A this year. And we will be average once again.

f ery frustrating for all. There should be room for movement. No one on Blue is that spectacular that they should feel there spot is secure afnd if its not several gold girls who could do it then it will be another program. Everyone is replaceable at this point. There is a shake up coming and people are not going to be happy. Especially the "golden group"
Blue team hiding in lower brackets and weaker tournaments all season.Many of the players don't belong on blue or gold.

That sounds great! 2023 has been lacking behind the older YJ age groups. I was wondering if they were going to ever have four top-level elite teams like the 2019's. Looks like things are on the upswing in the 2023's. Glad to see that this age group is finally moving towards the "Yellow Jackets way".
How do you make 4 elite teams when you barely have any elite players? If the handful (maybe 5) great players were smart they would leave YJ and join TG or Igloo, as the team will only get worse with the influx of more mediocre players, with the exception of the goalie. How many years of poor performance do you put up with before you realize it's time to move on?
This age group lacks talent and the coaches aren't committed. It showed in the last tournament. Our players were outplayed.
one girl went down to Gold last year, and now is back up, but still does nothing except have size. The girls that were moved up last year are back down . A total waste of a year for them spending all that money, didn't play, and now the embarrassment of getting demoted. All the flip flopping is ridiculous. Does it get any worse??

The Gold team lacks talent, as does the bottom half of the Blue team. CR needs to go outside of the organization to get girls that can play.

NOT going to be ELITE when you hold a BS tryout and have girls who haven't even tried out yet playing on "A". Gonna be the same old BS. You don't just throw good athletes together and expect to have an elite team. You need to 1st get a coach who is capable of developing the kids. Btw, BT track record shows she isn't capable of this. Next you need to have a legitimate tryout with real evaluations. Last year BT wasn't even paying attention during tryouts. Teams are pre determined before tryouts. Watch and you shall see! Guarantee all the 91 Mt Sinai kids are on A this year. And we will be average once again.
You people are delusional if you think there's going to be any major shake up or change to the team. The only change is the team has traded one daddy coach for another daddy coach and now instead of one group of friends and family you'll have two. Tryouts are a joke and they should save everyone the headache and just email you the roster once you make your tryout payment. Would guess the only reason she's hooked up with this 91 guy is with intent to form three teams and I'm sure this guy got a pretty sweet deal and the more kids you bring over the better. At this point it's quantity over quality.

What is exactly the YJ way? .....charge extra for everything, sell a brand, then get your buts kicked by the competition? This age group is in big trouble, you can't have an upswing without gaining quality players. The best YJs in this age group got worse. In my opinion, only one girl now stands out on that team, she is from MC. Everyone else got worse, and the players that left got better. Other top girls in this age group do not play for YJ, and hate them, so don't expect any miracles.

ok dad lol
Sorry the truth hurts, what has your daughter done lately?
Sorry the truth hurts, what has your daughter done lately?
Gotten a scholarship
To the Ha ha ha 2019 has 4 elite teams......you should watch them play before you bash them. Many talented girls in 2019 group.
Sorry the truth hurts, what has your daughter done lately?
Gotten a scholarship
In 7th grade? Don't think so

Hey, easy there. Let him be, when his doctors and handlers say that his daughter got a scholarship - it's true.
"Yes, she did get a scholarship - yes, it is a full-ride. Now, take these pills and take a nap."
Can't make final assessments on player performance based on this one past tournament. Consistency, stick skills, strong passing, unselfisness, scooping, endurance, shooting, good catching and game strategy is all critical. Can't have one good/bad game to be judged. This past tournament, observation for both teams was the top talented girls may not all have been at their peak performance. Not an excuse - have to keep in mind the field set up -- the length of field - small, crowded, sloppy & disorganized. In the end, it was for a good cause. Hats off to all who participated. Suggestion would be have three teams, there is work to be done with some players who do not have tenure with the game on Gold and Blue. If they continue to add girls to the existing teams it will continue to diminsh quality. Adjust fairly to make it fun and less resentful for some parents. One last thought, at this level, families are paying a decent amount for this no matter what year you are, there is an expectation set, which is to have players strive to get even better, equal opportunity for all girls selected to the team and the biggest one yet ... no parents as coaches. No matter who you may be. YJ organization makes a profit, with that invest in good coaches with exceptional credentials. Let's all make lax great again.

It shouldn't be equal opportunity for the girls being selected it should be fair. In watching the girls play it is clear some girls continue to put the work in to become a better player while others don't have the same work ethic. Some girls looked good playing against 23 gold, 24 blue, 24 gold but when it came to the 23 tg they didn't look good and were outplayed. The girls on this team need to work harder to raise their level of play. If you are selected to blue your daughter is expected to be able to come in a contribute.
That Yellow Jacket blue team was pretty solid when the kids were in 4th grade. They completely destroyed it. They had some good players that they should of developed. Instead they played silly games and went the FF way. Lost a lot of talent and didn't develop the kids they had..sad

Some of the best girls already left, funny thing is they didn't get a chance to show that when they were on YJ. More expected to follow

Girls that play or don't play? That would be the difference maker
One yes, the other not a starter, but with YJB blue that might not mean much

One yes, the other not a starter, but with YJB blue that might not mean much
Yeah, that starting line really took care of business this summer especially at nationals!

it wouldn't surprise me if more left...where are they going TG? Igloo?
TG and Igloo will both find room for top tier girls
TG and Igloo will both find room for top tier girls
Which proves the piont that if you're a top player, tryouts are for other girls. What's sad is that after taking on new girls and increasing the roster size, some girls will be cast to the curb. Apparently secret tryouts have already been arranged
1 was a true A. 1 was offered A. 3 were B.
YJA picked up 2 excellent middies (both better than those that left).
The starters are Not leaving. And what did they do this past summer? Really, do we have to litigate this again? Beat Hero's, Beat MD United, Beat Skywalkers and won Lax for Cure (the TG was at too). Lost two 1 goal games at Nationals. As said months ago, if you win 2 and lose 2 you are playing at your talent level. This includes TG, Igloo and the MD top teams. My daughter LOVED her YJA teammates. She had FUN. We parents ALL get along, contratrary to comments from people NOT on the team who really have no clue. The few loud mouths that left are not what we want to be around anyway. We will win some and we will lose some. In this era of diluted teams where every ex college player starts a club (SS, Steve L, etc), there is no longer the strangle hold of "The YJ way" but every starter would be welcomed AND START on any other organizations team...period. The starters are TOP caliber players. The TEAM needs to put it together better for sure. Even when it doesn't, we're still the ones on LI eveyone is after. That's confirmed by the endless Obsession by all those constantly trashing us. Yes..."Jealousy is the Green Eyed Monster which doth MOCK the meat it feeds on!"
well that didn't last long!!! ha ha! btw the above post is just weird.

Stop holding on to one tournament, the body of work over the last 2 years is terrible. Lost to B team like 3 times.

There should be another horrible outing vs TG. This team needs help looking forward to tryouts and the impending changes.
Another disappointing day for YJ vs TG at Stonybrook. YJ outplayed at every position. Interesting to see the YJ goalie left for TG and all the other former YJ girls running circles around their former teammates. Jackallone had a real big mouth at the start of the game but shut up real quick after losing by 7 goals.
All the new 91 MS players should be the answer...

Jackallone didn't coach that was two other YJ parents coaching if that's what you want to call it. They did alot of screaming and micromanaging as they tried to coach. YJ was outplayed in this game as Spallina watched from the sideline.

Yeah cause MS looked good in the tournament.... UGH
For those here pretending to have a clue...you would have seen rest of the YJ team from the track watching the game having played on Team LI that would have relished smacking down TG. I also don't give a [lacrosse] if people "figure out who I am!!!" I know what reality is here. TG did NOT play YJ yesterday...they played NAVY...moron. You Just can't wait to Brag about any [lacrosse]. Your coach has class, most patents have class...but on your part....this is not class. Here is my 1st call out...show up at Oyster Bay !!
[quote=Anonymous]All the new 91 MS players should be the answer...

MS was not competitive. They have B level players. Typical PAL team. Are those the girls that are supposed to make YJ better? Yikes!
Why was Jackallone coaching if they got a new coach

Haha!! The Team LI girls ran over to play with the rest of the YJ team navy (All the YJ starters) Did'nt help. As for Team LI smaking down TG.....now that's funny!
Couple of points and I have no dog in this fight. If you call a coach out for acting poorly on the sideline only to be rebuffed as he was not there you look ignorant at best. To say a team looked terrible at a fall 7 on 7 is just ridiculous and makes you look desperate, beautiful day at SB and you have to make it out like it was a national championship.Good for all the kids that played and hopefully all the off season work makes each of them better players.When you knock other clubs so often and emotionally its obvious that you are insecure in something. "A Lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep", you come across as a sheep when you constantly try to tell everyone you know better or your kids club is better.
Says the loser. Always fun to see the YJ parents walking away with their heads down. Nothing against the girls, who are very good players, its the cocky parents I can do without. For someone who doesn't concern themselves with the opinions of others, you sure do come on here making a lot of excuses! I do agree with you on one point, was a beautiful day at SB, and the hard work many girls have put in was evident on the field, as the gap grows.
You didn't play TG you played Green Hornets. Lol.
YJ parents were animals on the sidelines. They thought this was their National Championship against TG. It was a pleasure to watch the TG players shut the YJ parents up quickly. Total beat down.

Smacking them down like you did at Nationals.
You talk about class and in the same post you are talking about "smacking them down". They are 12 year old girls right? You have a good little group of players. They just aren't as good as the TG girls. And that's ok. You just need to accept it and move on.
[quote=Anonymous]For those here pretending to have a clue...you would have seen rest of the YJ team from the track watching the game having played on Team LI that would have relished smacking down TG.

Why did all these Navy girls carry YJ bags? The best player on YJ from MC also played for Navy. Does the Navy team have players that weren't asked to play on Team LI?

A parent "calling out" 12 year old girls is sad and sorry at best. No one cares if Team LI goes to Oyster Bay. The "best players" came of the track and were on the field with the rest getting their heads spun around.
For the sake of sanity I hope the YJ girls eventually beat the TG girls in this age group...the parents need a bone to chew on for a while. Maybe getting a win will help.
It is sad to see parents from the same club but on different teams fighting over who is the real team. Why do we have continuely bash our own girls. Majority of the girls from navy and team LI are from our yj club...so the girls on team LI are the real team?
The A players played for Team LI.

When team Navy and Team LI combined for the last game they lost by 7 to the Hornets. Neither of those teams are the “real deal”
No... neither is The Real YJ team. That was the point. Navy & LI have many of the YJ girls. I Never said LI is the real A team. It is made of LEG, YJ and other organizations. All from Navy and LI have played with each other in different concoctions. All get along. We LOVE the Navy & LI equally as they are the same group. This all began with a Green Hornet parent talking smack that they beat doen YJ. Not true. Never beat team LI at Hofstra either. Revisionist history. To put down a score differential from an 11 yr old game from a year ago is weird & pathetic
All the new 91 MS players should be the answer...
bahahahahahahahah
[quote=Anonymous]All the new 91 MS players should be the answer...
Yeah cause MS looked good in the tournament.... UGH
MS was not competitive. They have B level players. Typical PAL team. Are those the girls that are supposed to make YJ better? Yikes!
I heard they are already taking over the A team

YJs can't get out of their own way. The majority of YJ starters (Navy+Team LI) played against the majority of TG (Hornets) starters on Sunday, and it wasn't pretty. It was the best game of the day, as the others were a waste of time. It is always a great game between the rivals. My daughter is a TG but we would never count out the YJs. All these girls are dedicated and work hard, I think it comes down to the coaching. YJ continues to lose the best players with the latest casualty a fantastic goalie. Every player that left YJ has gotten better while the YJ girls are having some difficulty getting the job done. How do you explain that? It's not because YJ girls are not good enough, but rather due to the toxic culture of the brand. Selfish me me me seldom works.
It was definitely a total beat down
One correction...only 1 girl from Team LI played with Navy. MC girl. Team LI girls on Leg left and rest of Team LI from UJ watched.
Your post has its merits. Yes, goalie that left is very good...so is Leg goalie from BBP who went home. Apparently so is team 91 goalie possibly coming in. Again... your post has merit. But in no way was Navy or LI the YJ team whereas Green Hornets IS Top Gun. BTW... tall Eva of TG also played with team LI last year. It is a melting pot of a few organizations. We all wanted stuff against each other on LI without going to MD and now that we get it, it becomes even more toxic with that 1st "we kicked YJ's" post. Me included! So...forget the call out in Ouster Bay...How about...."Let's all meet again inOuster Bay and have a beer together for a change" ??? Any takers for that model?

If it's the brand then how do explain that TG has never really had a team that was competitive with the YJ top team for more than one season . This nonsense sounds a lot like a few years back when TG would send only a select few 2020 players to play against off season YJ teams and claim they beat a YJ top team . The following summer the top 2020 TG players all jumped ship to YJ when they realized they did not want to play for Hofstra as most TG end up doing .

Great post! This all needs to be more about the girls. The girls who played for GH, LI, and Navy represent the top Cohort. Who cares what club they play for. Doubt any of those girls are going to Hofstra and all generally seem happy on their home club. Who cares if they play for TG YJ or Legacy! These pick up teams are an awesome way to stay on LI and get better. Most of the parents do actually get along, and more probably would if they got to know each other. We all have way more in common with each other than we may realize. And this is great that we now have several teams on LI that can compete with each other AND with the MD teams. Wish we could do this every weekend!! Good luck to all the girls this fall (TG parent)

That 2020 TG team played and beat YJ at summer tournaments as well as all the MD teams and it lasted undefeated for two years. It was not just fall slap together team wins. Then it blew up and went to shambles. And that was years ago in like 5th grade, who cares. Big difference from 2023 age group, where ALL the LI teams are just watered down. Yes, competitive with each other, but none are strong off the Island. That being said, these two age groups do have one thing in common, the parents are the most over the top, obnoxious loud mouths.

The parent part is correct, not being competitive off the Island part reveals your ignorance. TG beat several top MD teams, and yes they were also beat by those teams. The games were close and could have gone either way. That is what competitive means, you dope. YJ was also competitive withe the MD teams, beating them, or playing close. Lets not forget about Igloo, who has also emerged as a top LI team. These teams are not watered down, as you say, the 2023 age groups have plenty of girls that play at a high level, and have proved it.
Watching the Navy and Team Li players switching pinnies so they could play against TG. How did that work out for you?

I think TG should take that as a compliment. They are having a nice ride, but there is a small gap between the 3 top teams. TG has a solid skilled group with 2-3 ringers and no weak links. YJs will hopefully work out there coaching issues. Will be interesting to watch these teams over the next few years. The better girls have already separated themselves, I wouldn't expect much change from that. Will be interesting to see if there will be more movement or if the teams will basically stay together at this point. If this was last year, girls would already be getting recruited.

The one difference is that for the first time players have been leaving YJ blue for the last two years and going to TG and other programs. This has never happened before. If YJ doesn't fix the problem more will leave.

Who cares about your 2020 team. There is another forum (it's called 2020 girls) that you go spread your negativity on. The 2023 TG girls have been together for years, and are a solid group. It will end great for those girls, as they have been consistently improving the team and working hard. Now go worry about why your 2020 daughter has no interest and rides the bench.

Such an ignorant response but is to be expected from those going thru the process obviously for the first time. I could say something snarky like have fun when Hofstra is your kids only option but I wont. Its the same thing every year the parents who have kids in this (current 7th graders) get all caught up in thinking people actually care about their kids club team and how great they all are. Then they head out into the real world where their kid is being passed over due to "politics" , they whine about that for awhile and eventually come to the realization that no one cares. These defectors going to TG from YJ are displacing some of your former teammates and friends ,have fun with that as obviously your little superstars spot is secure until its not.
That’s funny, but I have been through the process. Have an older one starting in college at a top 20 program (lax and academic) with a great scholarship. Didn’t need politics, talent speaks for itself. It’s clear that you are just jealous that your daughters YJ team didn’t live up to expectations.
Ignorant response says the man with all the answers. We get it, you know everything, this is everyone's first rodeo, everyone else is dumb, etc. Parents always go to the same montra against TG girls, "you will only get into Hofstra". Please get some facts behind these posts, it only takes a second to visit the TG website to see the truth. Girls are going to all top colleges.

Whats even funnier is a person calls you narcissistic and your reply is all about how wonderful your kid is,get some help.Not only do you have to tell us your kid is at a top 20 lax program, a top 20 academic program, is a starter, and to top it off a "great" scholarship .You must be a real pleasure to stand next to on the sideline as you cannot help being a complete windbag. I actually doubt what you claim is true as there are only a few programs that can claim both and it would be easy to see if any starters have younger sisters on 2023 TG but as you have been told and obviously cannot accept no one but you actually cares. You make it just too easy.
We get it people, TG is better than YJ in this age group. Who are the teams that follow?
1. TG
2. YJ
3. Jesters
4. Igloo
5. Legacy
6. Elevate
7. Liberty

There are plenty of girls who have older brothers who play/played or will play at the next level too. Why do you assume the poster was referring to their daughter?

I would put Igloo ahead of YJ (beat them 2x handily) then everything else looks spot on.

It's possible but they said been thru the process before I have found the girls process to be somewhat different from the boys . Either way top 20 lax top 20 academic is a small list and seriously no reason for that kinda of narcicistic nonsense .
TG 2023 has several tiny girls on that team. Tournament wins in 5th and 6th grade mean zero when they get to high school. Half of that team will not mature and be fast or strong enough to compete in high school, yet alone college. People are crazy trying to project 5th grade talent. That's why recruiting was stopped so early. I know, I know . . . my daughter rides the bench . . . 2020 is very relevant because those parents were boasting at the time and that age level team fell apart due to injuries and egos.

Umm... first of all the girls are in 7th grade, not 5th, (your ignorance glaring again) They have another couple years to grow. Second, look at the parents, that’s most likely what they’ll look like. As for TG, they have plenty of tall physical girls who run past YJ and belt it in despite the face guarding. They have a couple of smaller girls who are super skilled tough, hard workers who get the job done. If a girl is 5’ 6” or 5’ 7” now, which TG has a bunch, I don’t see your point. Not like YJ has any difference in sizes as a matter of fact the better YJ girls are smaller. Igloos top girls are tall and physical. 2 of them. You really need to go back to your 2020 forum, it’s getting embarrassing for you!

First off you there are several different posters who have brought up 2020 group . Second , the 2020 group is relevant because that TG group acted just like you , ignorant , but at least they were a very good team beating all teams not just best on LI. Third saying you have players that "belt it in" tells everyone reading your post that you are clueless, talk about embarrassing .

Nobody cares about 2020, irrelevant. Stop living in the past and making useless comparisons. Worry about why your daughters team is now ranked 3rd on LI., and why you're such a tool. Your obsession with TG is getting creepy.

Another clueless poster. Glad you weren't evaluating Caroline Fitzgerald, Kylie Ohlmiller or Ally Kennedy they are probably all too small to play women's lacrosse by your standards. You are a great forecaster and can tell how big or how a girl will develop in the future by their size or skill level in 7th grade. There's YJ and everyone else except in this age group and that must be a tough pill to swallow.
Still hoping that there will be a significant change in the 2023 rosters. The arrogance, sportsmanship and behavior of parents needs to be addressed. I believe CR wants to develop girls not create this toxic atmosphere. The hostility towards each other is terrible. Remember those you bash and criticize could be your teammates later on.

Changes are coming they just might not be for the better. Look at the Primetime roster in all honesty geez these 91 girls are not going to help this team at all.

The only thing you are correct about is that recruiting stopped so early which benefited the early growers. Bad part for you is that your bigger less skilled daughter is going to continue to be beat by the smaller skilled player who will eventually grow. Then she will be the same size or taller and more skilled. Better for the smaller skilled players that recruitment is later, don't you agree? And there are a lot of skilled smaller players on various 2023 teams. Keep making excuses for your daughter as to why she is not living up to your standards OR maybe you can get outside and practice with her.

But my daughter is living up to my standards, actually exceeds them. She works hard and excels at game time, never comes out in close games. On top of that, she has a 4.2 GPA. She is a taller girl, as tall as the average woman lax player now. I am proud of all of her accomplishments. I don't need to go outside and practice with her, she is already out there on her own. My only disappointment is that she won't be able to play Varsity until next year. Any other words of wisdom?

thought that was just a rumor. Why would they by pass tryouts? Is CR really just giving the A a the 91 mediocre team? It can't be! Some of the girls on B I know have been training super hard. Seems as if she just looks past what she has and goes other places instead. fl$, 91 etc. Probably why so many girls leave. There is no superstar on 91. I am sure they are good players but not any better then Wright. Don't get why they don't look and develop in their own organization. It is almost if you are on B you should just go somewhere else because you won't be looked at. you are better off in another organization ..then again most girls who went from b to A don't play at all and the B team suffers. Don't get it

Why are no TG or Igloo girls going over to YJ? They could use a few of those to improve the team. Will CR try to recruit them before tryouts?

Looks right. Will be interesting to see how the YJ teams adjust to the pending changes. Can’t see it being pretty with an influx of girls who don’t bring anything new to the table, with the exception of the goalie. How will playing time change. The core YJA starters are used to staying on the field the majority of the games. How will new girls react to sitting on the bench, or will YJA go to the Wright model where everyone get equal playing time?

So you think only disgruntled people come on here? I don't knock anyone's kid, I admire the girls on all the teams who give great competition. My daughter always looks forward playing top teams. Win or lose. Athletes get better playing other great athletes. Big, small, makes no difference. Skill, Athleticism, work ethic and desire make a great athlete. Pretty sure it was you who came on hear spewing nonsense about how 12 year old girls have peaked and are destined to burn out, get injured or just stop growing. You are simply wrong on everything.

There has never been equal time on any top YJ team and never will. The club prides itself on winning and being a top organization. The new girls will have to earn playing time or sit on the bench its that simple. I'm sure YJ will be in more competitive tournaments this upcoming summer so players will have to sink or swim.

In 7th grade? are you kidding me...thats stupid and creates a toxic environment ....no wonder why everyone leaves. Whose judging? The idiot coach? or are the parents putting pressure on the coaches to play their kid...seems more like it. There is no judge of talent on 2023 its just who you know...that is a fact. that is why its a mess!
All the new 91 MS players should be the answer...
Please , 91= more mediocrity. Goallie is the only one who is "A" caliber. Rest are average. Thats why they didn't try out. Funny how the YJ girl who didn't make A or B last year is back on the YJ A roster (or Wantagh roster) more BS. And thats why YJ 2023 will be always 2 team always. Politics and Friens and Family. CR is just takin in the $$$.
and then lost to their B team
We get it people, TG is better than YJ in this age group. Who are the teams that follow?

Can list Jesters 3rd until they play real competition/real tournaments
I would put Igloo ahead of YJ (beat them 2x handily) then everything else looks spot on.

Igloo is definitely #2
YJ Wright should be in the mix also. Certainly not above igloo but above Jesters...this seems off
Please, YJ Wright will be stripped of any talent and other girls have left. They don't even practice in the fall. Waste of time and money.
[quote=Anonymous]Still hoping that there will be a significant change in the 2023 rosters. The arrogance, sportsmanship and behavior of parents needs to be addressed. I believe CR wants to develop girls not create this toxic atmosphere. The hostility towards each other is terrible. Remember those you bash and criticize could be your teammates later on.
Changes are coming they just might not be for the better. Look at the Primetime roster in all honesty geez these 91 girls are not going to help this team at all.
Why are no TG or Igloo girls going over to YJ? They could use a few of those to improve the team. Will CR try to recruit them before tryouts?
NO WAY. The secret is out. CR only cares about $$$. Team 91 girls on A team without a tryout and teams have already been picked. Happens every year now.Rumor is she sold to 91 thats where this marriage came from. Friends and Family baby. The days of her winning anything are over. Nice to see the WPLL putting her on the back burner. She was the first on the block with some knowledge of the game but she, can't adjust. There are younger SMARTER coaches out there now.
What teams have the top players in the age group?
I know Igloo has one standout, 91 goalie looks to be top, where are the other best girls at their positions?

So idiotic ,you have 1 age group that YJ does not have the top team on LI and you are acting like it's the end of the world , then when those kids approach recruiting age many of the better ones will move to YJ as they know that if they do they will get more exposure and connections than any other club . TG has never had good coaching and will be lucky if SS sticks around .

No chance TG girls go to YJ, some of the best YJs already left YJ to escape the chaos. TG won’t need the YJ name to be recruited. The age group is a disaster. And you even have those gall to bring up good coaching, are you on crack? If the other Top YJs we’re smart they’d run for the hills as well.
TG has couple standout attackmen. They play like bumblebees.
YJ too and a strong defenseman. Jesters has 2 top middies and a defender, maybe 2-3. Igloo has more than 1. Handfull around 6.
Put them all on a all star team with the Rocky point goalie and take them anywhere.

Name one successful TG coach , not one TG coach has ever been successful as a coach, not one .

Lol, we’re talking about the 2023 age group. AS has been quite successful with that group. They have developed, improved, and won championships or went to final game in the majority of the tournaments they’ve entered. The team is #1 on the Island, as well as one of the top teams in the age group. The culture on the team is positive. I believe that defines a successful coach and team. I could care less about any other team or age group. And you can’t possibly suggest that YJ has better coaching at 2023? Those teams are disastrous.
[quote=Anonymous]The rankings for 2023
TG Black
Igloo (1-2 vs TG but did win Nationals)
YJ Blue
Jesters
Legacy
YJ Gold
Empire
Liberty Black
Looks right. Will be interesting to see how the YJ teams adjust to the pending changes. Can’t see it being pretty with an influx of girls who don’t bring anything new to the table, with the exception of the goalie. How will playing time change. The core YJA starters are used to staying on the field the majority of the games. How will new girls react to sitting on the bench, or will YJA go to the Wright model where everyone get equal playing time?
There has never been equal time on any top YJ team and never will. The club prides itself on winning and being a top organization. The new girls will have to earn playing time or sit on the bench its that simple. I'm sure YJ will be in more competitive tournaments this upcoming summer so players will have to sink or swim.
Igloo 1-3 vs TG - Hofstra twice and national draw. Didn't play them in nationals.
The only tournament igloo has won with an A-team present is nationals. The beat YJ and didn't play TG.
New 91 players and YJ blue have been gelling well in practice. Will be a better season adding all the new players to the team.

Gelling before try outs, nice.
So much for an unbiased tryout at YJ this year.....LOL
Sounds like the YJ Blue team roster has already been decided. Good luck to all those YJ Blue girls who rode the bench this past summer.
I wonder who is getting pushed down to the gold team? I wonder if those girls even know it yet? I'll bet you CR already knows.

The parents of this TG team are delusional. How narcissistic can a group of parents get. Sorry but if you think AS has a better coaching resume than the 2023 YJ coach you are delusional. Saying they are number 1 on the island is laughable for many reasons. First what championship tournament that had all the LI teams at it did they win in season. Second acting like being the best team on LI in this age group is impressive , go beat the MD teams than you can talk about being a successful team. You must be a real pleasure to the other TG age group parents " I could care less about any other team or age group", can anyone say hello crazy parent.

If your daughter starts and plays almost full game she has nothing to worry about. If she has to watch games from the sidelines time to worry.

It was quoted for you but you still cannot get it straight "could care less about any other team or age group" . Honestly there is something special when your kids team has a big game i.e. YJ vs TG and older and younger teams from your club come over to cheer them on, but if the rest of your parents have your and his attitude then why bother .My kid is older now but has looked up to many older players over the years from her club and when she was able to play with them on various teams it was a great experience . If you think the world revolves only around your kids team you will both miss out on a lot . As far as the WI coach I did not realize he was coaching over at TG , agreed that is a coach with a strong coaching resume .

I said it and I’ll say it again. I could care less about any other team except the one my daughter is playing on. As long as they are playing and winning, she’s happy and I’m happy. It’s ok to lose a few, but progress needs to be seen. TG 2023 is the top team on LI right now. Sorry if you don’t want to accept that. They have the best record. YJ has only gotten worse over the past couple years due to poor coaching. TG has better coaching which has brought better results. What part of that don’t you understand? You seem like a real dim witt!
What REAL tournament had TG won? Lax for Cure? No...didn't make playouffs. Nationals? No...ended up in 3rd place by 1 goal to team you're supposed to be so superior to. Did you even beat a single MD of any quality (MD Black, MD United, Skywalkers, Heros)? No. We beat them all. These teams are so very close that your arrogance us so overboard you come across as a tremendous windbad. Get a grip.

This better not be true! Lots of girls are getting passed over because of politics. Team 91 is a B level team! Some of the girls on gold should be moving up. These girls work and train hard even in the off season. Tired of it! If you are not on A why bother playing YJ! Its a joke!!

Stop being so jealous. TG handily beat YJ every time they play. TJGbeat the MD teams in shortened games after playing in B level brackets and got lucky. They even losing to their own B team at LOO. TG beat ALL the MD teams they played last summer(MD United, MDBlack, Skywalkers...etc) losing twice to teams they beat in full games by a goal. All good and as it should be. Won National Draw. YJ is just a step behind TG. Stop obsessing and admit it. Scores don’t lie. TG is not the best team, as there are several top. YJ is just astep behind TG (and Igloo)

You sound like an uniformed fool. Stop going to the All Star Express and 3rd bracket of Laxin out loud. Play the MD teams in a full game like TG. Lax for the cure you played in a pal division of course you made the playoffs. Wright's team played in an A bracket. Not one A team in YJ A bracket. Hopefully this summer you enter competitive tournaments. Igloo embarrassed you twice also another team you should avoid.
YJ3023 is the ginger sister nobody wants to hang out with😂 Arrogance + inadequacy = Loser
Stop the nonsense. YJ is always the best club to be in. Blue or Gold. seriously. TG good for you... it won't last long.

Lol, poster needs to realize that YJ is just not that good anymore, and about to get worse. Nobody cares about YJA or B for that matter. Irrelevant teams. Another disappointing summer for the organization. Not even in the conversation for best team on the Island. Can’t wait to watch Igloo and TG school you again. Also, let us know when you beat a MD team in a full game!
All these 91 girls coming to save the day for YJ. Having practices with the team before try outs. 91 was having trouble beating b and c level teams, how are they going to be the savior?
TG has couple standout attackmen. They play like bumblebees.

Was actually asking an honest question as my older kid has played in LFC over the years and it used to be competititive with several of the better Maryland teams attending. Had no idea who won the 2023 age group but apparently you bunch of insecure losers could not answer a simple question . What's interesting is that the better LI teams used to be in the discussion and many times were clearly the best in the country now you bunch of losers are happy to declare yourselves the best team of a below mediocre bunch , the talent in this 2023 group only indicates that the talent level on LI has dropped , at least in this pathetic group.

team in YJ A bracket. Hopefully this summer you enter competitive tournaments. Igloo embarrassed you twice also another team you should avoid.
Who won lax for the cure 2023 division ?
You also won the All star express and 3rd bracket of Laxin out loud don't short change your team.
Lol, poster needs to realize that YJ is just not that good anymore, and about to get worse. Nobody cares about YJA or B for that matter. Irrelevant teams. Another disappointing summer for the organization. Not even in the conversation for best team on the Island. Can’t wait to watch Igloo and TG school you again. Also, let us know when you beat a MD team in a full game!
Was actually asking an honest question as my older kid has played in LFC over the years and it used to be competititive with several of the better Maryland teams attending. Had no idea who won the 2023 age group but apparently you bunch of insecure losers could not answer a simple question . What's interesting is that the better LI teams used to be in the discussion and many times were clearly the best in the country now you bunch of losers are happy to declare yourselves the best team of a below mediocre bunch , the talent in this 2023 group only indicates that the talent level on LI has dropped , at least in this pathetic group.
Another moron flapping their lips. You need to go back and read. TG has beaten (not just once) all best MD as well as LI teams last summer with the exception of Heros, who they didn’t play. YJ only beat MD teams 1 time in shortened games which questions validity. They also lost badly to Igloo. Any team can have a good or bad day. It is about overall consistency. TG just has a better overall body of work at this time. There are 3 teams in LI who are competitive with MD teams TG, YJ, and Igloo. Right now TG has separated themselves. They are the best team on Long Island and in the top cohort for the age group (there is no one team that has a record that would place them at #1) makes for great competitive games and tournaments. To say that talent has dropped on LI is a rediculous statement with no supporting data.

Stop with your nonsensical posts. You don't have a 2023 daughter but read the thread and pick out the only tournament YJ won. You'd ratherr type on hear rather than look up past results. You and your fake post.

Supporting data , your TG team lost to NXT , no other TG black team loses to NXT. The best team on LI when hold backs are not being used at 2023 is Igloo , that would never have been the case that essentially a town team is the best team on LI .
New 91 players and YJ blue have been gelling well in practice. Will be a better season adding all the new players to the team.
Gelling before try outs, nice.
seriously...? Continuing to get worse! OMG! Now this team is a D team! Stop it now!! lets hope its a fair tryout and see the real girls rise to the top! Stop with the nonsense of bringing teams over that aren't even close to a top level! its such a joke!!!

Igloo 2-0 vs YJ. Igloo 1-2 vs TG. You can't be the best team and have a losing record against another LI team.
Anyone can have a bad game, YJ certainly knows about that. Stop crying and face facts. TG has the best overall record. They won National Draw, besting Igloo 2x, and also best Igloo to win the LIClassic(also losing to them by a goal) 3-1 record. TG got to the championship game in the other MD tournaments featuring real competition, not a pansy cake walk like YJ schedule. We saw what happened to YJ when the played a real schedule at Nationals, their record was terrible. Any other tournament and they would have been eliminated the first day. Facts are that YJ loses to TG EVERY time they play, TG has also also beat the top teams the same number of time they were beaten or have an overall winning record against MD Black, Skywalkers, MD United, Elite etc. All those teams have also lost to each other. Nobody is trying to say that TG is the top team in the age group. The claim is that TG is the best 2023 on LI and is very competitive off the Island. Furthermore, off the Island there is no one team that has separated itself and TG is in the top group. What is it exactly that you are having trouble understanding?
TG
Igloo
Everyone else

Igloo sucks, they won one real tournament in 3 years. I wouldn't even consider them a club but rather a team. There is only one team they nurture and care about and that is daddy's team. 1-3 against TG lost at hofstra twice and national draw.
People are giving igloo credit they don't deserve. I would rank them behind thorn and wright if they weren't the only team on the island to beat TG.

How many teams from each club make up those numbers above? My guess is:

Igloo - 0
Numbers can be very misleading.
How does the number of commitments from a club during the 2016-2017 graduation years impact your daughter? Very odd post. Don't worry about which team is better or which club has more commitments. Just focus on your daughter. Is she developing and more importantly having fun? Enjoy watching her play. It goes way to fast.

That could be for that age group. Pretty sure it’s different for this one. Best girls left YJ. Other Best girls have zero interest in the organization. CR has sold out to 91, which spells downhill. The talented girls are not worried about getting recruited, it’s more a matter of what school they choose, not who chooses them.

Are you really this ignorant or acting this ignorant .There have been many of the best players in the country who have had limited interest coming out of high school . The player that can go anywhere they choose are very few and far between and believe me your kid is not one of them . Not sure who has been filling your head with that nonsense but you need to get a clue .

We'll see about that! Since you don't know my kid, and they're a few years from recruiting, I'll worry about mine, you worry about yours!

Igloo is a one team club. They went to Nationals and only had a 2023 team entered. They will have limited exposure and won't be able to get into the recruiting tournament by entering one team. The coaches daughter will get recruited by attending college camps and the other players will be on the outside looking in.
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What REAL tournament had TG won? Lax for Cure? No...didn't make playouffs. Nationals?

Lol, poster needs to realize that YJ is just not that good anymore, and about to get worse. Nobody cares about YJA or B for that matter. Irrelevant teams. Another disappointing summer for the organization. Not even in the conversation for best team on the Island. Can’t wait to watch Igloo and TG school you again. Also, let us know when you beat a MD team in a full game!

Lol, poster needs to realize that YJ is just not that good anymore, and about to get worse. Nobody cares about YJA or B for that matter. Irrelevant teams. Another disappointing summer for the organization. Not even in the conversation for best team on the Island. Can’t wait to watch Igloo and TG school you again. Also, let us know when you beat a MD team in a full game!
I don’t want to hear from these delusional YJ cheerleaders again until they actually beat a LI team
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What REAL tournament had TG won? Lax for Cure? No...didn't make playouffs. Nationals? No...ended up in 3rd place by 1 goal to team you're supposed to be so superior to. Did you even beat a single MD of any quality (MD Black, MD United, Skywalkers, Heros)? No. We beat them all. These teams are so very close that your arrogance us so overboard you come across as a tremendous windbad. Get a grip.
You sound like an uniformed fool. Stop going to the All Star Express and 3rd bracket of Laxin out loud. Play the MD teams in a full game like TG. Lax for the cure you played in a pal division of course you made the playoffs. Wright's team played in an A bracket. Not one A
team in YJ A bracket. Hopefully this summer you enter competitive tournaments. Igloo embarrassed you twice also another team you should avoid.

Correct! YJ in a tailspin. Definitely not that good. When CR makes sweetheart deals with 91 and brings girls on the so called "A" team with out a tryout, they are in a huge decline. Her customers see it and are sick of it. YJ is a joke just like her under performing HS team. Just a stroke of luck that they won the state championship. It was definitely NOT because of her leadership or coaching ability. For example , look what happened under her leadership with her HS team in FL last year. Look at the nonsense that went on at tryouts last year at YJ. BT got scolded for not paying attention. Obviously she has no respect either.Not that it mattered, teams were pre determined. If her players respected her, none of that crap would have happened in FL. She knows it and will grab every last $$ on her way out. JOKE
Obviously without mentioning names but who are all these 91 girls that are going to YJ that is causing an uproar?? Is it even the top players from that 91 team??? From what I heard the top girls from that 91 team landed already.
So outside the goalie how many kids are realistically taking spots from the YJ A (Blue) team?? Goalie and Coaches daughter who fits in on A, but who else? The MS crew?? maybe 1 or 2 from the MS crew make the Blue team, so you are talking 3 field players and a goalie...... that's not grounds for saying 91 is taking over YJ's top team. Think of a better excuse for your kid being placed on the B or C team at YJ. 91 excuse is not valid
Whipple Fall tourney this weekend?? Any good teams playing? Any good matchups??

There are definite rumors that it is more than 10. They will drop girls to B and make a 3rd team of most of the B team. Its ridiculous. It certainly is the demise of the program in this age group. Watch at tryouts. Teams are already determined. You will know where your daughter stands immediately with whom she is playing with. Also watch the coaches. They don't pay attention at all. Thats how you know the teams are already made with under the table deals. And there you have it. Its all who you know. Good luck!

What a waste of a post, by your standards there are zero good coaches out there. Please tell us the club your kid plays for and I can give you the same list of nonsense for them.

Absolutely correct! It’s a shame for the B team. The majority of those girls have been loyal, while the team continues to disintegrate. The smart ones left. The others stay, not sure why. They will not be moved for the most part, and if they do they ride pine. (This is an observation not an opinion) This year it is going to be a complete mess. 😫
The main problem is the best girls in the age group play for different organizations, so they are picking the best of the worst.
2023 LI lax clubs seem all fired up, predicting the certain failure of the YJ club. Would like to put YJ into context for some of you. The first HS graduating class was a 2001 team, this year I believe they are starting teams for 2027. That's 26 years of Blue teams. Nowadays these teams play out for 8-9 years, used to be less. Also some of the younger teams only have a few of those years under their belts. If you look at the top YJ teams only you end up with in the neighborhood of 200 summer seasons played. There were two seasons where TG 2020 team seemed about as good as the YJ team, a couple years now where 2023 Igloo and TopGuns seem to have an edge. 2016 TG was close and a couple years were Liberty had some teams in the conversation. So to put this into sobering context for you, out of 200 Blue team seasons played, you can point to 5-6 that they weren't considered the best team on LI. Go back to the BOTC threads from the beginning like ten years ago. Same exact predictions of the impending end for YJ. Some things never change.

All of that is great trivia, however the 2023 teams suck and are getting worse. This is all that matters currently.
There is NO RUMOR of 10 girls coming from 91 "taking" B players spots. That is your rumor, your fake news. The previous post is more accurate that perhaps the 91 goalie, new coaches daughter and potentially others if they can play! Also...ALL "tryouts" have a Significant level of predetermination (including JV & Varsity & Team USA) as it is a players body of work over a season or two or three that has already given everyone (coaches & parents) a clear indication of what the player can truly do in all situations. To think that what a player does for a hour Should give them the "chance"
to make the A team for any club is absurd! Anyone can look good or bad for that fleeting moment. It's either truly nieve or faux nievity to clammer for a FAIR tryout so the true, loyal B player can have that shot. The better players will find their way to the top team for any club, it just might take a little more time to be seen.

Sorry but your history is off. TG 2016 was never considered a top team while YJ was best team in the country for several years . I believe the 2019 age may be close.
The best girls in 7th grade now will not be the best girls in 11th grade. Some of the best girls will be starting to play this year. Coaches take strong, fast, and tall girls and spend the time to develop stick skills. A tiny 7th grader with great stick skills will no longer get to goal. I don't care how many privates she did or clinics she went to. Goalies catch up, defenses get better, and speed and size will rule in the years to come. It doesn't matter what team wins in 7th grade. If you could predict how these girls will grow and develop, then recruiting rules would have stayed the same forever.
YJ lost to both TG and Igloo by a goal at NATIONALS. Against TG they lost by one goal after a 7 minute stall ( post stick check by the referee ) and Igloo on a goal in the last 10 seconds .That's a fact. Igloo beat them pretty good the second game. Yj was playing with 1 midfield line and ran out of gas and they took full advantage as any good team would. TG is not the best team on LI at that age group. Right now it's Igloo. They proved that in Richmond .

True, was trying to dish out a little bit of credit, but you are correct, so skew the number a little further towards my point, out of 200 Blue teams seasons played, you can point to 4-5 that weren't considered the best team on LI.

TG has a winning record against Igloo 3-1. And the one loss was on a last second goal.

Ummm.......Don't think so. TG beat Igloo 2x to win National Draw, and won 4-1 to win LI Classic. (yeas they lost by a goal in final seconds during pool play). Nice try though!

Silly post. How many travel clubs existed in 2001 ? YJ and Liberty. The landscape has changed and there are many new clubs taking talent that would have ended up YJ diluting the younger YJ teams. YJ used to have 3 strong teams per age group. Now they have one. The 2023 Gold is lucky to be in the top 8 teams on LI in the age group.

What if your daughter is already a tall, athletic, multi sport athlete who is dominant at this time, and works hard at it every day? Then what is your prediction?

Your Magic 8 ball tells you the best 7th grade girls won't be the best in 11th grade. Nobody can predict the future on how girls will grow and develop other than you based on your first sentence. The best players haven't started playing yet? Completely false that used to happen not anymore lets see where all these new stars land at tryouts. Size and speed will rule? How about other intangibles like lax IQ, heart, hustle, work ethic I guess that doesn't matter. And if size and speed will rule in the years to come why don't they rule now?

Thanks for making my point! Thats exactly why its foolish to say 91 girls should be on the A team with out a tryout. As you said "Anyone can look good or bad for that fleeting moment. " thats why its a joke that the 91 girls go right to A. All politics. 91 buys YJ in a hush hush deal. Unfortunately people cant keep their mouths shut and the cat is now out of the bag.
Obviously without mentioning names but who are all these 91 girls that are going to YJ that is causing an uproar?? Is it even the top players from that 91 team??? From what I heard the top girls from that 91 team landed already.

Absolutely hopefully CR sees this post and starts making cuts immediately. We need to stay ahead of the curve knowing the current girls will be washed up by 11th grade. We need a taller team so we can rule for years to come.

[quote=Anonymous]Obviously without mentioning names but who are all these 91 girls that are going to YJ that is causing an uproar?? Is it even the top players from that 91 team??? From what I heard the top girls from that 91 team landed already.
So outside the goalie how many kids are realistically taking spots from the YJ A (Blue) team?? Goalie and Coaches daughter who fits in on A, but who else? The MS crew?? maybe 1 or 2 from the MS crew make the Blue team, so you are talking 3 field players and a goalie...... that's not grounds for saying 91 is taking over YJ's top team. Think of a better excuse for your kid being placed on the B or C team at YJ. 91 excuse is not valid

And be blamed when YJ falls even further down in the rankings.

There is YJ and everyone else.
And YJ has a 2-2 record against Igloo and also lost on a last second goal and beat Igloo by 1 goal in each of their wins. These teams are all very close . But if a team only wins by 1 or 2 goals everytime they play thats called parity. It's inevitable with all these different teams popping up. It's happens in travel and in the pros . The people who say this team sucks or that team sucks are basic . Basic retards .

that's what you believe ...maybe back in the day when there wasn't 100 of clubs out there....now they are just like the rest nothing special
YJ playing M&D black at Primetime. With the new 91 girls rostered it will be interesting to see how they perform.

Will be a beat down. Don’t be surprised if the Schedule changes and YJ winds up playing PAL level teams, then bragging that they won like they did all summer.
There is NO RUMOR of 10 girls coming from 91 "taking" B players spots. That is your rumor, your fake news. The previous post is more accurate that perhaps the 91 goalie, new coaches daughter and potentially others if they can play! Also...ALL "tryouts" have a Significant level of predetermination (including JV & Varsity & Team USA) as it is a players body of work over a season or two or three that has already given everyone (coaches & parents) a clear indication of what the player can truly do in all situations. To think that what a player does for a hour Should give them the "chance"
to make the A team for any club is absurd! Anyone can look good or bad for that fleeting moment. It's either truly nieve or faux nievity to clammer for a FAIR tryout so the true, loyal B player can have that shot. The better players will find their way to the top team for any club, it just might take a little more time to be seen.
Appreciate your faith in the sysem...but who judged these girls to be A team material. The obvious daddy coaches? I mean seriously. And he gets to bring over his team? new coaches daughter...and others (9 maybe not 10)? That is BS. REAL BS! Yes there is a predetermination but when and how? Like to see how this turns out..but it seems YJ has no loyalty to their players...who are just as good or better than outsiders. They continue to cut off their nose despite their face...

Yes looking back at the archives back in 2015 YJ did beat Igloo 2x.

I've seen the MS girls play Green Hornets 3x and get beat badly. Those girls are no way an answer to the YJ troubles.

You're seriously bringing up 2015? Different girls different maturity level. Irrelevant! Get a grip YJ is grasping at straws now.
Your Magic 8 ball tells you the best 7th grade girls won't be the best in 11th grade. Nobody can predict the future on how girls will grow and develop other than you based on your first sentence. The best players haven't started playing yet? Completely false that used to happen not anymore lets see where all these new stars land at tryouts. Size and speed will rule? How about other intangibles like lax IQ, heart, hustle, work ethic I guess that doesn't matter. And if size and speed will rule in the years to come why don't they rule now?
[/quote]
Size and speed don't rule? What games do you watch? If it sticks by high school, tall and fast girls are sought after. What sport is size and speed not desired? Heart and lax IQ are absolutely important, but if girls are running past you, where is heart going to get you? On the bench, that's where. Slow girls with good sticks and lax IQ play attack. I guess you have no experience with high school track. Some girls - not all girls - that are fast in 9th grade are no longer fast by 11th and 12th grade. Fast girls with decent stick skills make really good defenders, especially backers. Wait 3 years and see how many girls on these 2023 teams are still superstars in high school. Probably not even half. So funny how these 7th grade teams are analyzed. They didn't even play a middle school game yet.

The top girls now will absolutely be the tops in HS. They have already separated themselves with a combination of size, speed, power , athleticism in general, and work ethic. They also excell at the other sports they play. You don’t just magically get great. I have older kids and have been through this. The vast majority of those who stood out in 7th and 8th grade still do. Yes there are a couple of outliers, but those are the exception not the norm.
It's a recap of the last 2 seasons you basic cable dweller Just a quick correction, YJ beat Igloo 2x's in 2016. I'm not use about 2015. You could be correct but I don't know for sure. So Igloo and Top Gun both won 1 goal games this year....Close games . If that means YJ sucks in your trailer park mentality then God Bless. You are 1 goal better than the team that sucks beyond words. If we are going on ONLY 2017 because you are so recent and relavant, then Igloo won the Nationals . They are the best of 2017.. End of story .. But I'm sure you will respond with some witty factoid on how TG is the best team on Long Island and you also have a 12 inch dk. Go kill yourself because it's so over done. Now go get your shine box son

Agree with some of this, many early standouts are based on accelerated stick skills (you can teach that). Very true, those kids lose ground as time marches on. This is very hard for parents to accept and it happens all the time. I would also say that the very best (small handful, not entire roster of A teamers) of the 7th graders who rule the roost now, do so because of more than just stick skills and will still rule in 12th grade. It is mostly speed (can't teach) and pure athletic ability (can't teach). IQ (can teach) very important, and huge is field awareness (can't teach). Size only matters in terms of height for the draw girl and can also be a disadvantage depending on position. So half of what makes players great can be taught and the other half needs to be born in. It is a very rare player that has all of these, LI as a whole (even Md) would be lucky to have 1-3 kids like this in each age group. I also feel many kids are further downgraded by the mindset that most of you parents have beaten into them, the selfish, go to goal mentality that ruins many of these players and teams.

Have they played top level teams? ...They can probably bring a book to try outs because they won't have to do anything at tryouts like the rest of the A team. Congratulations!

Any person that has attended a Y.J. tryout will not shed a tear for any "Blue" team member. For years the "tryout" has been stacked against any player not already on the "blue" team, I have attended every major clubs tryout (I don't include Igloo because they are not a major club in my mind, In my experience they will most likely be gone or irrelevant in the next 2 to 3 years like every other boy first girl second club) and the Y.J is by far the most bias. Blue girls what there blue pinie, gold wears gold, , what a sham. All rosters are made months beforehand with shady backroom deals, and you now want to cry because that same system that you once benefited from has now turned on you, Sorry afraid not, now you know how everyone els feels

Who beat who is irrelevant, none of it matters past the whistle at the end of the game. Even the Yankees are not dwelling on a game won or lost in 2015. Go ask your daughter if she is learning, feels she is being challenged/getting better, likes her teammates, gets what she needs from her coach. If she can answer those questions with a yes, it doesn't matter what her jersey has printed on it.
The grass isn't greener, you don't get these years with your daughter back. Enjoy the ride, and more important, make sure SHE is.

For years the "tryout" has been stacked against any player not already on the "blue" team, I have attended every major clubs tryout (I don't include Igloo because they are not a major club in my mind, In my experience they will most likely be gone or irrelevant in the next 2 to 3 years like every other boy first girl second club) and the Y.J is by far the most bias. Blue girls what there blue pinie, gold wears gold, , what a sham. All rosters are made months beforehand with shady backroom deals, and you now want to cry because that same system that you once benefited from has now turned on you, Sorry afraid not, now you know how everyone els feels
yikes I would not want to be one of the newbies! They are going to have to be infallible ..the critics are going to be harsh! Again whole thing is a sham...Its who you are connected with this age group in particular. Team 91 has the connections and are now top dog...
[quote=Anonymous]It's a recap of the last 2 seasons you basic cable dweller Just a quick correction, YJ beat Igloo 2x's in 2016. I'm not use about 2015. You could be correct but I don't know for sure. So Igloo and Top Gun both won 1 goal games this year....Close games . If that means YJ sucks in your trailer park mentality then God Bless. You are 1 goal better than the team that sucks beyond words. If we are going on ONLY 2017 because you are so recent and relavant, then Igloo won the Nationals . They are the best of 2017.. End of story .. But I'm sure you will respond with some witty factoid on how TG is the best team on Long Island and you also have a 12 inch dk. Go kill yourself because it's so over done. Now go get your shine box son
YJ 0-3 vs Igloo and TG.
And TD 3-1 Against Igloo most recently beating them by 3. Are you really as dumb as you seem. TG won both championships they played against Igloo. Why would this even be a question?
Who beat who is irrelevant, none of it matters past the whistle at the end of the game. Even the Yankees are not dwelling on a game won or lost in 2015. Go ask your daughter if she is learning, feels she is being challenged/getting better, likes her teammates, gets what she needs from her coach. If she can answer those questions with a yes, it doesn't matter what her jersey has printed on it.
The grass isn't greener, you don't get these years with your daughter back. Enjoy the ride, and more important, make sure SHE is.
Irrelevant to the losers maybe. The grass got way greener after we escaped toxic YJ. That drama is enough to get a girl to hate the sport and quit.
[quote=Anonymous]There is NO RUMOR of 10 girls coming from 91 "taking" B players spots. That is your rumor, your fake news. The previous post is more accurate that perhaps the 91 goalie, new coaches daughter and potentially others if they can play! Also...ALL "tryouts" have a Significant level of predetermination (including JV & Varsity & Team USA) as it is a players body of work over a season or two or three that has already given everyone (coaches & parents) a clear indication of what the player can truly do in all situations. To think that what a player does for a hour Should give them the "chance"
to make the A team for any club is absurd! Anyone can look good or bad for that fleeting moment. It's either truly nieve or faux nievity to clammer for a FAIR tryout so the true, loyal B player can have that shot. The better players will find their way to the top team for any club, it just might take a little more time to be seen.
Appreciate your faith in the sysem...but who judged these girls to be A team material. The obvious daddy coaches? I mean seriously. And he gets to bring over his team? new coaches daughter...and others (9 maybe not 10)? That is BS. REAL BS! Yes there is a predetermination but when and how? Like to see how this turns out..but it seems YJ has no loyalty to their players...who are just as good or better than outsiders. They continue to cut off their nose despite their face...
For all intensive purposes this is correct!
I've seen the MS girls play Green Hornets 3x and get beat badly. Those girls are no way an answer to the YJ troubles.
Nope they are most certainly not the answer! But there you have it your new YJ A team! They didn't have to earn their way like everyone else, what tournaments did they play in? MD? Have they played top level teams? ...They can probably bring a book to try outs because they won't have to do anything at tryouts like the rest of the A team. Congratulations!

Before saying if they can or can't compete at this level let's wait until the Primetime tournament to pass judgement on the 91 players.
so funny for all you YJ people last year that said 91 sucked ...now your daughter will be playing with them and you will brag how great they how ...so hypocritical !
Igloo
TG black
YJ blue
Legacy
Elevate
Jesters
Brookhaven
Blue Devils
These are the better teams in the age group. Should Liberty be on this list?

people are not happy but when you couldn't get the job done changes have to be made

Sort of like how all the TG people come on here and say that the YJ team is terrible then play a 1 goal game against them that could have gone either way. Seems that all travel teams think the other travel teams stink.
M&D the BEST M&D the BEST

yes! it really is sad that everyone worries about the score of other games...instead they should be focusing on their child only ! even sadder that parents actually believe 12 year old lax means anything...
Seriously . I wish I had a crayon to write what I'm about to write so you would understand. I conceded in the previous post that YJ lost 2 of the 3 games by 1 one goal. No matter how you slice it TG will always be the Mets of Long Island lacrosse and YJ the Yankees . No matter what you do you are still the Mets.. Now go heat up your lunchables and go color.

Says the loser! 1 goal or 5 goals, you lost, get over it! You also lost to Igloo. You are number 3 on LI. You get to watch as other teams get their tee shirt. What you should be worrying about is whether your daughter will be cut by a crappy team tomorrow. Now go have another drink as you obsess about why TG is better than YJ.
Nah , I'll just have her come and take your daughters spot. And please believe , if she wanted to, she could .. Maybe I will have a drink. What's your wife doing tonight .
Damn no he didn't!!!! M&D da best

lol agreed with the nuts comment.
As stated before, only kid worthy of A on 91 is the goalie.
What happened at the tryout?
So.... what did everyone think? 3 teams? Whose getting cut from blue?

TG, why are you engaging with this moron. He has talked about daughters and wives, I am am sure grandmas are on the way. Just let him be the trump and weinsteins of America. Please stop.
So.... what did everyone think? 3 teams? Whose getting cut from blue?
3 teams, are we suppose to be "elite" or a money farm. More watered down teams to feed the pockets of club owners. There was a time when club owners cared about being "elite", that time has passed.

didn't look like anyone was cut...just a couple of girls brought up...3 teams it looks like also with a new b coach

If girls were moved up then some will move down. They just don't move them down at tryouts, they make them wait until December to find out!

Well another pathetic “tryout” with teams pre picked. There may be 3 teams next year but there was no new talent that will help YJ climb out of the hole they’re in. Sad that the age group is such a mess. Not impressed by anything I saw.
Nobody really cares what you think anyway. As far as elite goes she is giving kids an opportunity to play that otherwise would not. YJ will do just fine. Sad you feel the need to bash 7th graders

Who needs cuts, we will just make more teams $$$$$$$$$. Everybody needs a chance. Ha
[quote=Anonymous]What happened at the tryout?
About 70 girls there meaning 10 new girls we already had 60 at this age group. Numbers are down there will be 3 teams if everybody accepts if not back to 2 big rosters we'll find out in December.

Why do you come if it's so pathetic? The girls moving down from blue are most likely the girls who played very little over the season. They are most likely the girls who's parents pushed the coach and made "deals" to get their kid on a team they didn't belong on at their skill level. Enjoy where ever your kid lands. There is nowhere to go but up for this age group.
As stated before, only kid worthy of A on 91 is the goalie.
worthy or not ...welcome 91 to A ..YJ way a,b,c,d,e,f,g, ......$$$$$$$

Anyone who accepts a spot on the B or C team will be miserable. Hek, Blue even has a tough enough time being competitive. Nobody cares about the B or C teams. They will be sacrificed every time so A gets a cake schedule at the competitive tournaments. If you don't mind losing all your games just to wear a YJ tee shirt then go for it. If you're smart you'd get over to an organization that actually cares about your daughter.

If your daughter was wearing a blue piney at the end of the tryout she's most likely on blue, same goes for gold.

YJ Colombo
So, if they didn't cut anyone from Blue, the roster is now 30 kids. Anything to make Friends and Family and 91 Happy. What a joke!

Of course They will cut.are you kidding! Kids get one last chance to wear their blue pinnie! They don't want kids to know bc then they will leave the program, come December there are no other choices!! If you didn't play much last year or your not on blue for fall tournaments then your moving down!

there are always other choices...my prediction is they have only 2 teams again. people will leave definitely ...after rosters are posted.. enough so they can only field 2 teams. Younger grades also will only have 2 teams too. lot more options out there. YJ isn't the be all end all anymore.
I think waiting to hear in a December is absurd! They know the teams so just post it so people can stop this crap!

Umm...yea! Give me a break. YJ is not what it used to be. Post the freaking rosters. Making the Blue team is not even a big deal anymore as the team has been struggling.

Yes, rosters should be capped at 22. When they go larger, several girls will barely play, especially on the top team. Organizations like TG and YJ only care about their top team. Furthermore, if you make a top team and are not a starter, they don't care too much about you either. Fact.

Isn't the new 91 coach from Wantagh? How is it that this can guy couldn't get any wantagh/TG girls to come play at YJ? Instead he gets 91 MS girls who would be coming over to YJ anyway.
Connections or not, the new girls will not play much because they are not at the same level as the elite girls in the age group. 91 has never entered a competitive tournament and was only average in the lame tournaments they did play in. At this age, the best girls are separating themselves. YJ was already in trouble here. Most of the team was too small, slow, bad shooters, and lacking in IQ. Didn't help that the coaches put too much faith in girls who couldn't get the job done when the competition was tough. Yes, they gained a great goalie, but so did TG in the great goalie who left, which was an area TG stood to benefit from. YJ will have a tough time doing anything different than last year. They needed to pick up a couple of beasts, and they did not. As for the second team. Do not do it. you will regret it. Way better off on a Legacy, Jesters, or Liberty where you can be valued and grow. The original Gold girls are disgusted and fed up!

You sound like such a loser . I don't even know the age group but you come across like such a know it all who knows nothing . When you start saying 12 year olds are lacking IQ it's hillarious ,get a clue .If the YJ team is as bad as you describe and the games with TG were as close as I have read about than your TG team must be pathetic with essentially no exceptional players including your own poor kid.

They left and formed a mediocre Legacy team.
Clubs that give you way more for your money and don't have 3 teams in an age group or 30 kids on a team...those clubs.
Name them.
Do your own research, it's not hard. Not here to promote clubs. But 1 practice a week, all star express, 3 teams or 30 kids on a team does not sound desirable to situation for anyone.

At this age, the best girls are separating themselves. YJ was already in trouble here. Most of the team was too small, slow, bad shooters, and lacking in IQ. Didn't help that the coaches put too much faith in girls who couldn't get the job done when the competition was tough. Yes, they gained a great goalie, but so did TG in the great goalie who left, which was an area TG stood to benefit from. YJ will have a tough time doing anything different than last year. They needed to pick up a couple of beasts, and they did not. As for the second team. Do not do it. you will regret it. Way better off on a Legacy, Jesters, or Liberty where you can be valued and grow. The original Gold girls are disgusted and fed up!
Wright valued the girls. She strived to have a positive experience for all the girls.. she is a great coach and tries to develop the players...some gold were fed up becuase they watch the so called A team be in lesser brackets in these major tournaments...they were also fed up because YJ continuoulsy looked past the talent on that team. There were girls that could have moved up and never did...thats why w they left
They left and formed a mediocre Legacy team.
Legacy is just fine. The girls are being well trained by a coach that cares. The girls are happy and improving, which is what it's about. I believe a few girls also went to TG and are scoring plenty of goals against YJ. If YJ valued those girls and retained them, they wouldn't be in the trouble they're in now.

You sound like such a loser . I don't even know the age group but you come across like such a know it all who knows nothing . When you start saying 12 year olds are lacking IQ it's hillarious ,get a clue .If the YJ team is as bad as you describe and the games with TG were as close as I have read about than your TG team must be pathetic with essentially no exceptional players including your own poor kid.
Lack of IQ is a big reason why YJ is losing games. There are only a few girls on that team that understand the game.
Crazy how one coach basically ruined yj at this age. So selfishly run. More f and f coming up..There will be minimal Changes again. Who knows why.
Actually 2 coaches

Lack of coaching IQ. She puts in absolutely ZERO effort. Her assistants lack of experience is evident also. You can't even blame the kids because they haven't been taught anything in the last 3 years.
I think waiting to hear in a December is absurd! They know the teams so just post it so people can stop this crap!
Umm...yea! Give me a break. YJ is not what it used to be. Post the freaking rosters. Making the Blue team is not even a big deal anymore as the team has been struggling.
YJ is definitely not what is used to be!!!! ALL the clubs are the same they are a business and only care about one thing ! making any team is not a big deal anymore because we all realize if you pay they will take you!!! talent or not!!
This is absolutely the truth .... its a business. Doesn't matter what team your on you pay you play unless your on blue...then you pay to ride the bench!

YES!! A shame. My daughter has made no progress in Years and it is evident when we play other top teams that the girls are better coached with a plan that leads to a win. Getting very frustrated.
Clubs that give you way more for your money and don't have 3 teams in an age group or 30 kids on a team...those clubs.
Name them.
Legacy is a team with a good coach who cares. [/quote]
Yeah....He cares!?!?...... He cares if your check clears or not. Isn't Legacy a PAL team? I've never see them at any of the tournaments with the Big Dog programs. Do they challenge themselves against the MD, NJ, PA, DC competition? If they don't, what are the parents paying for?

Going to be fun to watch Legacy beat YJ Blue. I'ts coming, however previous poster is right about CR not allowing the match up. Would be way to embarrassing!

Look whos calling the Kettle Black Blue team?
Does anyone play on 2 different teams? Our team doesn't do much in the fall and I would like my daughter to continue to play? Any organizations that just do fall?
Yeah, that is a good test. Best of luck. Any team stepping on the field against that team will need it, no matter what LI jersey you wear.
Monday you can decide how much trash you can talk until the next meeting of those teams.

Awesome to see Legacy putting themselves out there. That is how you build a team. Win or lose they will see where they fall and learn and improve. Way to go! My daughter is not on Legacy, but did play with many of those girls on YJ a couple years ago. They are great players who will only get better!
Elevate really, really cares about our daughters...
Seriously?
They are "good" to "very good" players..not "Great". As the Legacy poster put it... they are "Just" "fine". Not "Great". Legacy beating Blue is a Haha joke. Adding more B players to a C level team, you get closer to being a B team. Congrats on stepping it up to play in a real tournament against big dogs. While they are taking these Fall tournaments Very seriously with extra pratices, YJ will be a pick up team for those who want to play. It's relaxed Fall ball. If you are now going to criticize that not taking it seriously in October is a flaw in the YJ way...have at it. There is life outside of lacrosse.
Legacy is a PAL team of the angry, disfunctional BBP parents. Without their best player they would not even beat Mt. Sinai, MC or Wantagh Town teams. We've played them many times and while very good, not an A travel team by any measure.
This whole forum is made up of parents who were athletes that never accomplished anything when they were young or never played a sport. If you did, you would never bash anyone else, especially kids and their abilities because we learned that "respect" was a huge part of being successful. Who cares who is better. Let the kids play and if they are on a team that they enjoy, have fun.

Legacy is just fine. It's YJB who is in big trouble. Despite all the private lessons, the girls are still not anywhere near where they need to be to beat the better teams in the age group.

You can always spot the newbies, its fall lacrosse it means little win or lose . That sais the MD teams have the advantage more so in the fall when playing in their own back yards. Kids that play soccer or volleyball or field hockey on LI are likely no shows .

Relaxed Fall ball? Is that why Thorn is coaching? Its another tryout Thorn saw the girls in small sided scrimmages last week, this week its full field against a great Maryland team.
Don't think these games don't matter. Evaluating players is an ongoing process.
You seem to know a lot about who is playing on a team you are not affiliated with. This is where everyone says: "pathetic. Get a life".
I wouldn't have a clue who is playing on other travel teams nor would I care.

Wrong again newbie , first if your kid is one of the better players she will list you without paying . Second there will be several listed players who are no shows , it's always the case in fall ball and if you were not such a newbie you would know this . Now I see why this 2023 team is so pathetic , parents like you .

Doesn’t matter who shows up newbies or oldies, the team will still stink. Maybe better off with the newbies because the girls who don’t come off the field can’t win games, time for a change! Oh, and parents like you who thought your daughter was all that are getting nervous now, they’re realizing all that extra training is not making your daughter any better. You can’t make cream out of spoiled milk. Maybe time to try badminton?
As pointed out above “ fall ball doesn’t mean much win or lose”
What is with all the hostility?
These are middle school athletes
Take a breath - enjoy the game for what it is

Agreed. But I I doubt anyone will leave ... coaches cares very little about developing those players. Other clubs at least value their teams. And work on developing skills.

I agree but think girls will leave when the rosters are posted. They won't wait until next year , things aren't getting better and I'm sure other clubs would welcome our girls.
Gold girls are leaving too. Many already left for other top clubs also.
Who would of thought The almighty YJs would disintegrate Into a Team 91? Very sad!
Gold girls are leaving too. Many already left for other top clubs also.
There are already multiple YJ girls playing for Empire and YJ at the same time, double dipping lol.
[quote=Anonymous]Gold girls are leaving too. Many already left for other top clubs also.
YJ used to be able to put up 3 quality teams in age group now they will have 1. Most parents aren't willing to settle for a YJ 2nd team and be treated like a second hand citizen. What happened to the Gold team at Lax for the Cure was a joke putting them in the A bracket while Blue is put in a much lower level bracket. There are lots of options and parents are not willing to settle for the team they are placed on at YJ anymore.
How did Legacy do against M&D black, and YJ this past weekend? I haven't seen any posts in this thread, or the Maryland thread. Just curious, and looking for an honest evaluation of the games.
Legacy went 2-2 they beat TCL and mc elite. They lost a nail biter to coopermine (6-5) and M D black.
So what was the score of the Legacy - MD black game?

YJ lost badly to MD Black, not sure of the other scores. Looks like Legacy has caught up to YJ Blue as well now. Oh boy!
Both YJ and Legacy lost to M&D. YJ 10-3 and Legacy 11-1 both teams seemed to be even skill wise while YJ the more physical of the two.
Yj lost to tlc and tied coopermine.

Not that it matters much but leg was 10-2. Pretty much the same as yj
Legacy went 2-2 they beat TCL and mc elite. They lost a nail biter to coopermine (6-5) and M D black.
How did YJ do?
YJ lost badly to MD Black, not sure of the other scores. Looks like Legacy has caught up to YJ Blue as well now. Oh boy!
That's not saying much

Isn't M&D all hold-backs? Not really comparing apples to apples when the girls from MD are 1-2 years older. That's the reason the didn't go to Nationals.

Yes, every girl on every M&D team is 12-24 months older than than the oldest girl on every team that they play. That is why M&D is so successful. They are the only program in the country that only has older girls on their teams.

Typical MD cheating losers. All smoke and mirrors. Unfortunately in another year things will even out since girls mature faster. The boys are another story.

It's more like YJ has fallen down to Legacy.
So funny. I think saw 2 of the MD girls drive their parents home after the tournament. Wait ....what !!! Yes they are all 1-2 years older .... Really. I love this. Maybe they are pretty good kids who are coached well and play sound lacrosse. Heaven forbid they are just better right now in the Fall when other girls are playing other Sports.

I saw elevate bragging that they went 13-1 this weekend at the Tournament as a club. Were they at the tournament? I didn't see them. Did they play any good teams YJ, Heros, MD, etc? I am surprised I didnt see or HEAR them there.

nah, just holdbacks trying to look better playing down. Girls version of the Crabs. Bunch of losers

If thats the case, Elevate was likely at a town tournament in New England. They weren't at the same tourney as YJ, M&D, etc.
Not even close. Legacy might be entering the conversation but they would still get beat by YJ A. No Thorne, mixed bag of players where a starting defender didn't sign up in time and 1st come 1st serve played against her. This was most of the team but not the YJA team and with no coach. The criticism of not taking October ball seriously is valid. Didn't practice. Head to head...YJA still top notch along with TG. All of us playing against a well coached team of M& D 5'6" girls that are clearly matured a half a foot more being 13 when NY girls are almost 12 to becomming 13 in Feb. to Sept. is a humongous difference in girls physical development. Good for Leg. Had fair day. YJA struggled this weekend to get to the same place. Do nit mistake that for parity. But dreams should be built on.
Thanks for the update. Fall ball is not taken as seriously on LI as in other areas, but I was glad to see Legacy get a taste of what other top LI programs face every Summer. There was a lot of Legacy trash talk before this tournament. I've heard nothing but crickets since Sunday from the Legacy campaign. Perhaps Legacy will eat some humble pie this winter, and have a bit more respect for the other teams from LI that face clubs like M&D, Hero's, etc. every Summer wkend.
Yes, every girl on every M&D team is 12-24 months older than than the oldest girl on every team that they play. That is why M&D is so successful. They are the only program in the country that only has older girls on their teams.
This is a very false statement.
Maybe YJ doesn't take fall ball seriously and it shows. That's an embarrassing statement and a poor excuse for your club. All the legacy girls are from the top clubs and have been to these tournaments for years you idiot! Legacy will be going back to Maryland this weekend and then lax for the cure plus various other tournaments throughout the fall. We take lacrosse seriously all year round. Nice try buddy!

It's 100% true. My daughter is one of the tallest girls on her team. She is in the 95 percentile for her age. When she plays M&D she looks like a smaller girl in terms of her development. I understand that all kids develop at different rates. But when the majority of the girls look more developed than my daughter, something seems very fishy. The M&D girls are a good year older and everyone knows it. When we play M&D we know it's like playing up a year.

Based on your daughter’s own personal growth, you are making the original statement about a team you know nothing about? Your original statement is 100% false.
You people are really wacky. Yes the MD players are on average a few months older due mainly to school cut off ages being different and it does seem MD teams tend to have a few more holdbacks than LI but they are not on average years older. Second Legacy should respect your team more because you go to MD and get beat up on more than they do, okay, but how about you beat these MD teams like other top YJ teams in the past.
Who would of thought The almighty YJs would disintegrate Into a Team 91? Very sad!
It is very sad but why are you people acting surprised ? this has been going on for years so please either leave and go to one of the other 100 clubs out there or shut up about it already!!
its getting old at this point !! all you complainers just like to say your daughter is one YJ ...that is whats sad here !!!

There is a reason MD teams don't go to the National Championship Tournament its due to the age being enforced. Elite a Maryland team didn't fare well in that tournament last summer, they had to leave their older girls home.
No dog in this fight since my daughter plays for another Maryland club but M&D does not have any holdbacks. I am friends with many of the parents and personally know the girls on the team. Let's deal with the facts please.

1-2 years is more like it. For boys and girls. An unfair advantage now, but will even out soon. Earlier for girls than boys. Right now there is a huge difference between a 7th grader from NY and one from MD. Luckily due to the change in recruiting rules, the difference will be negligible by the time the girls are in 10th grade.
They are not hold backs!! Maryland education system is different than New [lacrosse]. At the same age, a student in New [lacrosse] enters Kindergarten and a student in Maryland enters Pre-K.. That is the difference.

Fake news on both
Funny how MD parents are so obsessed with LI that they keep posting here. Don’t they know there’s a thread for MD teams? Funny how they keep trying to justify their old for their grade girls. Everyone knows that’s why they don’t participate in age-based tournaments. We know the truth, please go away!
You are all crazy .You are all either very ignorant or delusional . Both sides are ridiculous . Again the MD players are on average older ( it's hilarious that MD parents refuse to acknowledge this). They are not years older( LI parents refuse to accept this). MD tend to have more holdbacks ( UA used to print kids dob ) , still have it from a few years ago and it's obvious( MD parents again refuse to believe this ). Is what it is .

That’s BS and everyone knows it. Not too concerned though because come 2 years from now, everything will even out and the LI girls will have the advantage as they are now essentially playing up against you. Now go back to your boring MD forum, like your state
So, all the MD girls are just magically a foot taller than LI girls, and have big boobs and periods. Think not.

this is highly unlikely in this age group of YJ. They have been critiquing YJ on the MD forum and it ain't pretty

"Yes, every girl on every M&D team is 12-24 months older than than the oldest girl on every team that they play. That is why M&D is so successful. They are the only program in the country that only has older girls on their teams."
Lighten up Frances, this was sarcasm. M&D is the dominant team from Maryland at almost every age. They draw from southern Pennsylvania to the north, Frederick, MD to the west, the DC suburbs to the south and the Eastern Shore to the east. Girls travel an hour and longer to be on their teams. That is a huge geographic area. Compare that to LI where there are more teams drawing from smaller geographies. The M&D program has a proven track record with regard to developing players and in many cases, is the Golden Ticket to get into McDonough.
If they appear bigger, faster and stronger, that is because they are. When you have hundreds of girls trying out from a massive geographic area, it is not hard to put together a team of Amazons. It is likely that the average M&D (and most Maryland girl's teams) are older than the average team from NY. This is not due to some conspiracy. There is a 9/1 school cutoff in Maryland and yes, some girls do a prefirst year. My daughter did a prefirst year with a Sept birthday b/c we wanted her to be old for her grade, not young. Most prefirst children here have late spring, summer and early fall birthdays. I would wager that on average, a MD club team is 6 months older than an average NY team. Yes, that gives the MD teams an advantage until things even out in High School.
If your daughter is Sept birthday and cutoff is 9/1, wouldn't she have been the oldest anyway? Or am I misunderstanding something about "prefirst".

Exactly, MD players are holdbacks. Makes them look good now, for the girls, it will even out soon. M&D is a very strong team, but is beatable. Always a game to look forward to.
Although the above scenario does exist it doesn't effect nearly the amount of kids you imply. "prefirst" only exists in private schools, only about a 1/4 of the girls on MD rosters attent these schools and only about 1/4 of them attended "prefirst". Generally speaking most kids that do go the prefirst route have summer Jun-Aug birthdays and would have a difficult time passing the classes at these extremely strenuous private schools. Mathematically that would leave 1-2 girls that would fall into this "hold back" scenario per team.
MD school do have a Sep cut off while NY has a Dec one. This creates a scenario we're some of the MD girls could be at a maximum of 3 months older. All these girls could not possibly be born on Sep1. so on average your looking more like 1.5 months older then NYs oldest girl. Now again mathematically out of a 20 girl roster on average 1/4 of them would be born Sep-Dec, so say 5 girls per team are around 1.5 months older.
This shows that on average MD teams will have 1 girl that in 9 months older and 5 girls that are 1.5 older. I call that apples to apples but then again we got the W!
MD high school age club teams are also still better then the NY teams. Not sure where you see the evening out...
The drawing from a larger geographical area is probably a better scenario why the MD teams are better. Also could be that there better trained/coaches and are just genetically superior. We were/are better then you, our parents were/are better then your parents. Scientifically it would only make sense that our kids were better than your kids.
Look around next time you play M&D you'll notice than the Fathers are usually in better shape and our more athletic. Our Mothers are in better shape and not shaped like humpty-dumpty like yours. You'll also notice LI men in general are slightly hunched back, more hairy and reek of olive oil. Reminding me of an Italian orangutan.... This is also more of a reason "M&D da best".
Damn dis bamma ☝🏻Is funny- Dis dropped da Crosse on ya'll. On dat note im a go back under my bridge down here in The Land of Pleasant Living and have some crabs- steamed of coarse hun. I'll check back in a few like 11/4 4pm when da best drop that mallet on TG!! poke poke poke...

And your girls are older. That's why Elite couldn't compete at the Nationals they had to leave their older girls home same thing would happen to M&d no older girls means a loss. See you in Delaware at the Nationals this year dopey

This is great.
MD has a lot of smack to talk. Shame your girls aren’t competitive with girls their own age. Holdback cheaters with whiny parents who teach their daughters to be floppers.
You do understand that Marylands September 1 date coincides with 95% of the country. We in New [lacrosse] are the oddballs in this one and are in talks with the Department of Education to try to change to September 1 as well. I'm not taking there side but it's a fact.

LOL. A whining parent claiming that a team's parents are whiners. How apropos! Sounds to me like you are making excuses and rationals for failure. Perhaps its Russian collusion. Damn Russians! Your team/club should stay home or play in the (B) bracket. Would not want any 95% [growth chart] kids, to get hurt by "holdback cheater" girls, that might be 1-3 months older than your daughters. Then in 2 years, when its time for the "great reckoning" and safe your girls, travel south and take down the "floppers" Just don't eat olive oil that day and stand up straight. Apparently that is offensive.

Maybe you didn't read the "We" part, I live in GC. The change we're seeking has nothing to do with sports it has to do with the difficulty of the modern day curriculum.
Empire is a bunch of whiny overly dramatic Pal caliber players. Parents need to give it a rest.

Won't matter. the top team will be competitive but will continue to be the bridesmaid with frustrated and entitled acting parents who cry and act like jackasses when they lose to TG (again this weekend), as well as the MD teams. The other teams have been decimated and anyone in their right mind would run for the hills from this defunct age group. A disaster!

The problem is lacrosse classifies by grade. Soccer classifies now by birth year they used to use August to August either way would be better than by using the grade system giving some kids a tremendous advantage when they are younger.
Why so late ? Why does YJ wait til December ?

If memory serves correctly YJ beat your snowflakes in the first game 9-7 . If you going to be [lacrosse] at least be an honest [lacrosse]. Your snowflakes either tied the second game 8-8 or won 9-8 and in the process had multiple TG parents acting like they had $10,000 riding on the game. You definitely won the embarrassing of your kids award. TG parent are the MSNBC of travel lacrosse..

Umm....no TG won first by one and second by two score 11-9 while the moms and dads whined and complained in the background where they belong, honey booboo
If memory serves correctly YJ beat your snowflakes in the first game 9-7 . If you going to be [lacrosse] at least be an honest [lacrosse]. Your snowflakes either tied the second game 8-8 or won 9-8 and in the process had multiple TG parents acting like they had $10,000 riding on the game. You definitely won the embarrassing of your kids award. TG parent are the MSNBC of travel lacrosse..

So let me get this straight you two imbeciles are arguing about the results of a 12 year old fall ball tournament that no actual scores were kept. You both need a reality check, most likely neither of your kids will be going to a top program and most certainly neither kid is going to make a living playing lax. What you two don’t get is you are from different clubs but are the same people .

Oh but you're on a higher moral ground and yet you're on back of the cage acting as the Moral Majority and knocking people. Save your magnanimous drivel for your kid in the backyard while you're teaching how to go left. And yes we are talking about 12 year old girls you moron, this is the 2023 threat isn't it. If you're more comfortable, head down to the 2020 thread. My original post was just to point out the mania that some clubs have that they never seem to lose even when they do. It about being honest. And when competing , everyone keeps score. ..Fact!!. if you're uncomfortable with competition, the Antifa march is coming up. Go chuck on a bandana and break something in protests. Or go join a union.
I learned today that it's too early to keep score and be concerned about 12 year olds playing lacrosse but not too early to determine determine how a 12 year old is going to make a living down the road despite never seeing that person. You're probably one of the guys who was on the field after lost to Blue Wave going over their mistakes.

Creative math if you think you won. I suppose your team won both games with no scoreboard you can spin it whichever way you want.

The imbecile twins have struck again.
Funny how YJs can’t handle losing. They’ve been doing a great job at it all summer and fall. Why stop now? You should really shut up and practice more. Maybe some more private lessons? Its getting embarrassing!

On Saturday you got to enjoy 2 competitive games. Excellent lacrosse on both sides why can't you leave it at that and move on.

As much as this has turned into a competition amongst the parents, many of these girls will go on to become HS and college teammates. There is some great talent on both teams, it is always a great game. Although TG has been coming out on top, these games could go either way easily. I say we take the best girls from both teams and form a new team, then go down to MD and kick some but!!

Sounds like a plan

Because historically Y.J. parents have not only relentlessly bragged about how much better there girls/teams are than every other club on the planet, they also love to rub your face in it without mercy. so any, and everyone will, with overwhelming enthusiasm, grind into the face of every Y.J parent the fact that any team, and the club as a whole is on a downward tract, and never has a group of parents, or organization, deserved to more than you guys. So please save the good sportsmanship crap, no one wants to hear it from the Bees. Take your lumps with more dignity than you had when YOU were the ones dishing out the trash talk, and no that you truly deserve it
Yes Like Wave losing a game and parent clapping on sidelines yelling great 'tie " game girls? That kinda thing??

Tru that! They had no problem pounding my daughters team into the ground and then laughing about it. Glad they can see how it feels!

Gotta love when some internet moron acts like a tough guy "grind into the face of every yj parent ", sounds like you are just projecting what happened to your face by a lot crotches into the YJ parents.
We beat you both games 9-8. Tied your 2022 team 8-8 although most had us at 9-8. Fact. fact! FACT! No creative math. You all knew it when sotting stone faced quiet next to us between games as daddys coached daughters in frustration. You just can't admit to yourself you LOST. You will try to call this fake math, alt facts and ither non-sense but reality is Wave left there feeling great with those 3 games. There were no beatdowns fron either side...just excellent lacrosse. Fast paced and physical. They finally let them play. Now breathe, gather your dignity and sign up for Oyster Bay Sunday.

Fake news, next time watch the games instead of whining on the sidelines when your snowflake is run over by a more athletic girl. BoooHoooo
I believe second stringers who were mostly Empire 2023 also beat the Wave (YJ 23) team 6-5. TG humbled the Empire team to finish the day in a lopsided contest but just funny to see teams like Empire take down the Mighty YJ's. There was no disputing this score either as YJ pressed and pressed late and finally cut it to 1 but Empire was able to gain possession and run out the clock.

Yes, saw that game, Wave was not happy
Now see...that is true. Second Stringers did beat us 6-5. Yes you were up 4-1 early and yes we did press and press missing 9 straight shots (2 were posts), so yes...we couldn't even buy one in that game. You won fair & square for our ONLY loss of the day. Honesty. Fact- We (Wave) beat TG (not Green Hornets) twice and tied their 2022 team honestly happened. All 2023 TG parents watched that game anxiously adter losing twice tous. Stone faced and frustrated. We (Wave-not YJ) skipped out of Hofstra 4-1-1 on the day feeling great having had a Great day of girls lacrosse. I know you cannot admit to yourself and profess here that is not true bit I had the best seat in the house and know what WAS. Nothing you can pist changes that outcome from Saturday. I was actually so proud that not 1 of our parents went on here to gloat like you tools did after Hofstra. It's only until you had to posst YOUR non-sense that we had to react and set you straight. No YJ or WAVE bragging. Just not letting you re-write last weekend. Get over it. Again...show up at Ouster Bay for the next round as we ALL want to keep playing each other on LI but please, relax and stop this nonsense!

You clearly don't know how to count if you think you won both games. Even the parents on the sideline knew you lost the second game 11-9. You also lost to the 2022 team 9-8. Your math needs work.
Enough already. TG, while missing a few top players, lost only once to 22's. Wave played well and missed some of their YJ players as well.

Hi. I'm a left winger (liberal for all you uninformed) and I think you all had a great day and deserve a prize. In fact you should get to play for free. Next time we should get pizza and have lunch together.
Funny how TG enters all the most competitive fall tournaments, while YJ hides on LI as wave. Thought that was the reason YJ was supposed to be the better club. Seems as CR mainly enrolls in tournaments she has a piece of. I was expecting better as a YJ parent. Why the [lacrosse] are we playing on LI for the month of November???
Because the New [lacrosse] CR hates the Maryland CR and doesn't like to go to his tournaments

You are probably one of the loudest jack-wagon Y.J. parents of the bunch, bragging on your daughters achievements because you were too fat and sloppy to play yourself. Either way you are certainly going to have to learn how to live life on our side of the coin because you and your cohorts have certainly ruined the Y.J name with you're daughters second rate play, but your first rate politicking. CONGRATULATIONS..... you and every parent like you ruined a good thin..... Jackass

The older girls are at great fall tournaments i don't know why we aren't. We also need to be in better summer tournaments you don't get better without playing better competition. If we go to the All Star Express to play pal teams again I will lose my mind.

Your girls need to train to get better. You all think wearing the Fear the Bee jersey is good enough. You all have an entitlement mindset, teach your kid to work hard, get her some training. Or she'll become a whinny biatch like you wife. PS your wives should stop bragging about YJ 2023 when get are out and drinking, it's embarrassing.

It should be a great Oyster Bay tournament for Team Long Island playing Medussa Blue, Medussa Purple and Just for Fun.
You are all winners of the craziest parents award. Congratulations!!

Worst group of parents ever. Arrogant and obnoxious. Hope changes are made this year and this group gets split up, toxic for the YJ organization and the kids. It should not be like this. Crazy is an understatement!

Disagree. Out of state parent here. A couple of the YJ sidelines are tolerable and considerably friendly.

Pick up team of Legacy and YJ, the real question is why those teams are not going to competitive tournaments. Waste of time blowing out PAL teams all day. Why would you bring a stacked team to Oyster Bay and not at least play up? Puzzling.

Fact, Wave lost both games to TG. Wave got smoked all day but games vs TG were close. YJ pulling at strings that aren't there. Even games with no refs these blow hards drule over...sad. Talk about rewriting history and your post is lacking any honesty. But if it helps u sleep better.
You're wrong and cant accept a "pick up team" beat TG twice. You lost 9-8 twice. You just can't admit to yourself. No starting middies, just girls wanting to have a grwat dat. Beating you twice and tying TG 2022 as you watched, like an impetuous LOSER, was a great day. An odd loss to Second Stringers and a win in last game was awesome. You just can't admit it. As far as playing in Oyster Bay...what was a really good tournament last year is not the same
This year. I personally baited you to show up against us but you bailed. This is no "vieled" YJ. This is a bunch of girls from multiple organizations putting a team together for a fun day. Why aren't we playing up? There is no 2022 division, dope! We wish you were there. We'll go to have fun. We'll show up at Hofstra and anywhere
We can. We're not an organization, so with all this, to question why Team LI or wave doen't show up at competitive tournaments is stupid. Make a pick up team and go to anything. Hofstra was certainly competitive. We all did well.

lol! 2023 Not the YJ Blue parents ...a bunch of are crazies! They are disgusting ...obnoxious and offensive...embarrassing to the organization..they really need to get a grip... kids are mediocre players...they have connections and monopolized the blue team and have ruined this age bracket...but who cares really. Their reputation will kill them in the end. we left for a better experience and got it...

You need to accept the fact that you don't know how to count if you think you won both games. How about talk to CR to go to competitive tournaments and play in competitive brackets. Embarrassing YJ going to tournaments hiding in weak brackets tell your director you want your team to be challenged. Hopefully you go to the Mid Atlantic, Live Love lax tournament and don't play in a B bracket at Lax for the Cure.

Boo Hooo , YJ just can't let it go. The team is slipping and parents just can't stop obsessing. You lost. Deal with it, and stop making up fake news. FYI: losing three games is not doing well. However, it was fun seeing the look on the whiny YJ parents faces when you lost 11-9. How about you worry about your own team playing in a lame tournament, while TG plays real teams in a competitive tournament where all the other YJ teams are. (Yea, your own director thinks you stink and didn't put you in this tournament to spare you another beat down)

Why are the YJ as a club going to play in the Chesapeake tournament in Maryland and the 2023 group is not? Looks like things are not changing from last year when YJ would go to great tournaments as the 2023 age group would go to alternate tournaments.

I am with YJ...we lost to Empire, liberty and two close games to TG. We did tie TG 2022. Not sure why the same people from our team go on anonymous boards and do this non sense. Our girls played pretty well, leave it at that.

You should be asking CR why you are home this weekend while all the other YJ teams are in Maryland.
Your precious TG team will get a beat down this weekend in the "competitive tournament". Enjoy that ride home.
Thank you YJ parent for your honest comments. You are certainly correct in your post, and the YJ girls played well. In fact all the teams played well. It was a nice day, good lacrosse, a local tournament, and the girls had fun. Let's just leave it at that. Good luck this weekend to all the teams, no matter where your playing.

Not expecting to win, looking forward to playing top competition. Will be a great weekend! A shame people need to be so negative. Guess your still upset about your ride home a couple weeks ago after losing badly.
Both teams looked good. TG lost at minimum 1 if not 2 (this part is true) but so what. The girls play against each other and hopefully make each other better. I like watching them play because the games comes down to wire just about every time . Actually let me rephrase that. I would love to watch them if I can put all the parents on mute. ALL PARENTS . College coaches just don't draft the kids they also draft the parents as well.. Someone's always watching. Luck and health to all the teams playing this weekend.

You have a very bad memory. Remember that the more you lie, the the more you start to believe your own nonsense. When you talk about the parents, your referring to yourself, right? I love watching the girls play too, and maybe one day you will win, until then, pipe it down.
If you guys are so good why do you always have to tell everyone how good you are ? Wouldnt people just know ? It's always the guy with the smallest DK bragging (and the white hair) . Ok white haired dad. Do you know how you tell when TG loses ? The parents hold a lacrosse clinic in between games to tell their losers what they did wrong and go on the offensive and act like they won. But at the end of the day you lost 9-7. Maybe you guys can go out and watch some more film on us and any of the other teams that you play. Desperate much ? Jeezz.. after Lax for the Cure you definitely want to do that. That'll keep you busy for at least the next 8 months.

Wow, someone sounds awfully jealous and angry. Take a deep breath, admit you lost and worry about Oyster Bay. a clinic is what TG and Igloo have been giving you all year. What a tool

Hopefully you have better luck against Medussa than you did against Empire.
Empire didn't play in this tournament
Empire didn't play in this tournament
They were second string
If losing to M&D black 12-11 is a beat down then yes TG took a beating.
They probably meant took a beating from Hero's Green. 12-6. Parents not happy with that one. It was a disaster.

Wasn’t a disaster. Girls played great the first half, but got tired the second. They only had 12, many starters were missing. They played their hearts out the second game and only lost by a goal to M&D Black, after being up. Was great competition and only helps the girls get better. How did your YJs do against M&D? Oh yea, you were blown out. All the parents were great, and were talking and getting along great on the sidelines. It’s fall ball you dope!

You're right happier playing Medusaor/YJ. They're basically the same level team.
Much respect to TG... very well coached team. Kids played hard until the final whistle. Looking forward to seeing them again in the summer. Great competition for the girls.
Did Medussa beat you at Hofstra also.? At least when you lost there your ride home was under 4 hours. I'm sure TG did play hard. They must have took the Heroes game off. I know... I know ...you weren't expecting to win. You're a bunch of calculated sandbaggers. Saying that on this blog site so if you won , you would boast and if you're lost you wouldn't catch crap. Sophomoric ! Next time I'm playing Maryland go down expecting to win. Maybe we'll get a better result. Especially since your team is so wonderful. If only the kids had half the confidence the parents had .

Same here. Was great playing top competition in a friendly atmosphere. A shame day two was canceled
Hmmm....I see TG lost by a goal to the best MD team in a friendly fall ball game. The same team that blew out YJ a week ago. YJ and the obnoxious d bag parents continue to hide on LI playing PAL teams. Where are you next weekend YJs??? You’re ugly and nobody likes you, might as well sit this one out. While you’re at it, paint a big L on your forehead.
YJ and TG parents, Imagine if your kids read the things you post? Some of you are just really awful. It's 12 year old girls lacrosse and be proud your children are playing on highly competitive teams. Stop the nonsense . Jesus.
After playing YJ and TG this fall it is clear...We blew out YJ and got by TG by the skin of our teeth. TG also had no subs. TG is the better skilled and coached team but M&D da best.

Was a great game! M&D is the real deal, glad we could hang!

My daughter does, and gets a kick out of it! Thinks the parents are all nuts, especially YJ acting like the typical jackasses that they are. It's a daily soap opera.
Ok TG parent .. so M&D is better than hero's green? Really ?? This shows your bias and mania beyond a doubt . The team that beat you by 6 isn't etter than a team that beat you by one pt. Mental illness much ?
M&D best team in the age group.
Ok TG parent .. so M&D is better than hero's green? Really ?? This shows your bias and mania beyond a doubt . The team that beat you by 6 isn't etter than a team that beat you by one pt. Mental illness much ?
LOL...sorry your feelings are hurt Heros tool. Did anyone mention Heros or is your mental illness so starved for recognition that you must interject your emotion toil? Checking the scores posted, M&D beat Skywalkers by 6 goal and you only beat Skywalkers by 1 goal. Looks like a mathematical draw to me against the TG scores, loser. So please put your, Rah Rah Heros Green, flag waving banter aside and go troll on the Teen Steam website. Maybe there is a bathing suit issue for you to creep over. You should get a job. The stay at home dad thing is not for you. Now go walk your labradoodle and talk to the neighbors about how you are gluten intolerant.
I'd say both the top MD M&D/Heros seemed pretty even. Both teams played the same two teams last Saturday with the scores almost exactly opposite. Heros beat Skywalker buy only one goal and M&D beat them I think buy five. You beat us buy six goals but M&D beat us by one. Two even teams-that's a discussion these two teams should have in a different forum though!
I would say that M&D is the best team in the age group. They would beat Heros easily and will. You can't rank a team on one game. And by the way, didn't TG beat you last summer when they had their full team?
Well that would be the first time M & D has ever beat Heros.
Ok TG parent .. so M&D is better than hero's green? Really ?? This shows your bias and mania beyond a doubt . The team that beat you by 6 isn't etter than a team that beat you by one pt. Mental illness much ?
You were also beat soundly by TG last summer with their full team, you dope. That game had only 12 players, while you had a full team on the bench, and they were gassed the second half. So easy on the bragging. Yes you won, but don't get ahead of yourselves.
First time Hero's Green ever played TG, YOU DOPE! Get your facts straight.
First time Hero's Green ever played TG, YOU DOPE! Get your facts straight.
My bad! Yes, you are correct . Thought it was Green. Green is definitely a step up from White. One of several excellent teams in the age group. Would love to see the Hero's Green vs. MD Black matchup.
M&D will show why they’re da best Saturday morning at 10 when they put on a show vs Heroes Green. Follow live on tourney machine
M&D not “da best” anymore. New #1 dog in town is Heros Green , who by the way, was beat by YJ last summer. On the other news, TG handily beat NXT. Lots of parity at the top. Legacy went a disappointing 0-3.
I thought YJ beat them at LAX for the Cure to go to the finals which they won? I also checked all the other tournaments and that is the only time they played Hero's last year.
Where have YJ been hiding this fall?
Well, how did that work out for M & D this weekend, a close game on Saturday, 6-5 lost, then a 6-2 lost on Sunday to Heros Green. Seriously, M & D is a very good team and will be one of the best once their new coach has more time to do his job.

True, YJ should be off this list.
Who has igloo beaten on this list I've never seen them a tournament. Coppermine should fall somewhere below Elite on the last as well.

Yes Yellow Jackets 2023 is finished. They screwed that group with no recovery in sight. They should be taken off that list for sure. Theyre a B team at most. That's what ya get.
Not saying your wrong but I'd have to see igloo play before I anoint them. Beating a bad YJ team and Elite without there hole roster doesn't cut it for me. I actually hope your right, better competition is better for all. But they need to enter some better tournaments this coming summer.
What is going on with YJ?, Why were they no-show at all the fall tournaments. Is it because they got beat down at the first one? A shame for that organization. For the MD teams, we always looked forward to that matchup. Seems like what everyone is saying about them is true.
What tournaments is Igloo playing in this summer?
Why does Igloo have a hard time fielding teams at certain ages? They are very good at some ages, but don't have a '22 team.
I think they are just going by " the team that beat TG at the Hofstra tournament. ' Just trying to figure out how to fit it on the jersey. They were going to pick " we win every game even when we lose and then pick any Maryland team we lose to buy one goal and say they're the best team in the country to make our players feel better " unfortunately you guys have that one and plus it be very difficult to fit on a Jersey.
[quote=Anonymous]Why does Igloo have a hard time fielding teams at certain ages? They are very good at some ages, but don't have a '22 team.
Igloo only has one competitive team
Why does Igloo have a hard time fielding teams at certain ages? They are very good at some ages, but don't have a '22 team.
New programs start up with a younger grade team and develop that team and add the younger grades as the years add up. 2023 is probably their first team.

2021 is their oldest team
YJ 2023 played many local tournaments this Fall, typically under a different name, since it was Daddy coaches.

Why? Wasn't it the YJ pompous tools asserting that their club was at a higher level because they play/challenge the girls in competitive tournaments in other states? Ironically several other clubs did that this fall while YJs hid on LI. What gives??

YJ 2023 "A" team is a mess and will be getting worse. Scratch them off your competitive list. They never will be able to hack it. not a good representation of the league as a whole. CR lost control of that group. It still remains FF with more coming. and 91 (haha) coming to save the day...I would think they might not even attend any competitve tourneys this summer...maybe they will just stay on LI
91 and Yj will make a great team and will be very competitive against the top teams this summer. Stop hating and being so jealous that your kid didn't make the A team
You people are a joke. YJ lost to both TG and Igloo by one goal at NATIONALS. Not bad for a team that's falling apart. What does it say about the other two teams. Not to mention TG stalled the last 8 minutes of the game. TG is so much better of a team yet you had to stall. Maybe because you're reject was getting schooled at the faceoff circle at the end of the game. You wish YJ would go away. Then you wouldn't have to explain why your kid didn't make the team or explain to everybody how you're better than the team that people recognize first. You have to explain to them who you are ... people already know who YJ is. You're the stepsister of Long Island. Simply put you're a generic. Be happy YJ beat you at Horstra in a different color jersey. This way you can deny it like you do every other time you lose. Next time put those stupid Green Hornet pennies on so you won't have to lie. Remember we're already in the building and you're just on the guest list.

That’s a lot of tuff talk from a team who lost every game they played to other Long Island teams. You need to slow down and stay in yo lane!

Losing is tough for YJh parents to accept. The next time you beat the Green Hornets will be your first. I know YJ parents are on edge when rosters get posted you'll see how friends and family really works.

Umm...YJ lost by several goals to Igloo, game was never close.
Yes.. Yesss.. Stick to your talking points. Friends and family.... Daddy coach... Thug Ball.. all this Mayhem and yet all TG can do is muster a one-goal including the 8 minutes stall and then a loss at Hofstra followed by a 20 minute lacrosse clinic from , of all people, one of your dad's . Kind of ironic. Top who ?

What house are you in YJ avoiding competition last summer, All Star Express? Laxin out Loud 3rd bracket? Nationals playing 3 games against 2 Long Island teams and going 0-3. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. This team is shell of what the typical YJ team is.

Is that what your club director told you? The summer before 8th grade? You better hurry up and sign up for all those winter sessions and get on the list for the personal lessons. If your kid doesn't shine next summer - she's going to end up at Farmingdale.

Why does everyone have a hang up with making money ? Is there free [lacrosse] out there that we don't know about. Everything revolves around money. Sick of this argument .
True story on the college scouts this fall. Will be 7th grade this summer.
[quote=Anonymous]You people are a joke. YJ lost to both TG and Igloo by one goal at NATIONALS. Not bad for a team that's falling apart. What does it say about the other two teams. Not to mention TG stalled the last 8 minutes of the game. TG is so much better of a team yet you had to stall. Maybe because you're reject was getting schooled at the faceoff circle at the end of the game. You wish YJ would go away. Then you wouldn't have to explain why your kid didn't make the team or explain to everybody how you're better than the team that people recognize first. You have to explain to them who you are ... people already know who YJ is. You're the stepsister of Long Island. Simply put you're a generic. Be happy YJ beat you at Horstra in a different color jersey. This way you can deny it like you do every other time you lose. Next time put those stupid Green Hornet pennies on so you won't have to lie. Remember we're already in the building and you're just on the guest list.
What house are you in YJ avoiding competition last summer, All Star Express? Laxin out Loud 3rd bracket? Nationals playing 3 games against 2 Long Island teams and going 0-3. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. This team is shell of what the typical YJ team is.
yup This is not a typical YJ team team is just a bunch of FF and family favors .. now more favors are being given...that is why the best of the team headed for other programs. the team is dysfunctional and will continue to be...good luck
Coaches already have their eyes on a few girls.

Yup. One of them lives in our neighborhood and goes to school with our youngest. The parents have been telling everyone about all the camps and clinics that she is being invited to by the coaches. I'm expecting to see a brand new Vette in the driveway soon, since they are pretty well guaranteed that free-ride for their first born.

LMFAO!!!! FOOL!

Guess you are not the parent of a top layer, or else you would know. Tell your daughter to keep practicing, move to MD, and grow a foot, maybe things will work out for you.
YJ A players are top notch. No ducking...beat TG twice at Hofstra without any starting middies and Daddy's coaching group of miscellaneos girls. Beat Skywalkers, Hero's & MD United in ONLY game they played head to head. Lost to TG at Nationals by 1 "stick check" dleay the game for 8 minutes goal and lost honstly to Igloo. Agrred...NOT the typical YJ force then everyone else, but no worse, not necessarily better either than these teams. Fall ball a joke. Get a grip. Anyone...anyone...anyone whonis on YJ A or B can signup for a fall tourney with a parent coaching, regardless if in MD or LI. Not hiding...just not putting best team in Fall Ball games. Each olayer...individually is a Stud. Wait for the reality of Summer season again. Might be 1st, might be 4th in the age group for the country. Not a B team and certainly always in the conversation of top 4 or 5 trams. Whoever the dolt is that said not even top 10 & a B team is ignorant. Top 1-5 in the age group is Fact.

When will you stop with the fake news. Just because you keep saying something does not make it true. TG has NEVER lost to YJ. Next time there’s a game, try paying attention an stop whining that your daughter was burned.
TG DEFINITELY lost at Hofstra . In game 1 by at least 2 or 3 goals. YJ parents do watch the games . We watch the TG parents berate the officials , whom I might add play for SS. You guys always embarrass your kids . You sound like a union picket line on the sideline .

HAHAHA, the embarrassment is you, trying to make up scores. Here's one for you, Nationals, where you were beaten and officials were actually keeping score. Remember TG eliminated you from the competition there, after your HORRIBLE day before? Not a YJ parent making stuff up because they were again shut out by the better team at a fall ball game that you actually think is important. As I recall, the YJ parents were crying that Little Sally was being manhandled by the better team. Maybe you should invest in flopping lessons for your daughter. Will be the only way she can get the ball.

YJ definitely lost to Empire.
YJ lost again to TG last night.
Please stop this, it's getting so old. We get it, you were snubbed by YJ and your daughter is now doing well with TG. Enjoy the ride and stop acting like a 2yr old

Never went near YJ, due to the arrogance of the parents. Nice try though.

Just saying......cant have it both ways. Spout off about wins then disregard losing.
YJs are just plain sore losers. It's a shame they just can't admit another team is better than them. All we've heard the past couple of years is how girls would be leaving other clubs to join YJ. Interesting thing is that never happened, the only new "talent" came from 91, a team that yellow jackets themselves has always ridiculed and said were terrible.
How is a 7 V 7 tournament at Hofstra considered YJ vs. Topguns? its just a couple of kids from either club playing a short field game with a parent coach at best. save the chest pounding for a full field, full team, club coached game..
which won't happen until next summer and probably somewhere in New Jersey or Maryland

Why in the world would anyone want their kid on that team. It has been dysfunctional with terrible coaching for a few years. everyone knows that They aren't developing players on that team. Even the "B" team kids go to other clubs.. ..its a lot of money to pay for mediocre..go where you will have a positive experience

There’s still time to register for The Indoor Championships down at Spooky Nook. Looks like TGs are the only ones with the gonads to step off the Island. Let me guess to busy with futsal?
OMG. You really need a life!!
Freaky to refer to gonads when referring to a girls TG team. You're CREAPY and dense to your own statement. Become more educated on a better figure of speach. Your daughter and women in your life are deep down embarrassed and you're oblivious. As a mother and with all revelations of caveman-like behavior I encourage you to think before you post again.

Rosters are up. YJ is retooled and ready to go.
Great news! Now put your money where your mouth is and sign up for Indoor Lacrosse Championships
Rosters are up. YJ is retooled and ready to go.
You are correect re"TOOLED"

Re-tooled is a perfect description! Lol
What is amazing is that every single one of these post in the last hour or two are all by top gun parents. Bunch of clowns !
Indoor Chanpionships sucks money grab no coaches [ChillLaxin]
Do you mean no college coaches watching? They are 7th graders shouldn’t be those coaches at any tournaments. But you can use any excuse you want to skip but it’s a chance for your girls to have fun and play some tuff competition. Looks like 3 of the top 10 at this age will be there and on average that’s about the same as any tournament. You’d figure a re-TOOLED team would want to prove themselves.
Let’s make LAX great again - drain the swamp (field) of the bitter parents!
Results are in! And.... it looks like there are going to be some disappointed parents..
Just man up and ask CR to enter your YJ team into Spooky Nook instead of trying to act like a TG parent is on the board calling you out to do it.
We get it, you’ll be there with your older daughter and want your younger daughter to play too.
Fake news that the TG parents care what tourneys YJ’s do or don’t do.
Not much difference in rosters .. some went up to sit on bench with the 91 players ... same old
A Team 91'er tried out for both YJ and Top Gun .. she made the TG Black team . Offer was pulled when they tried out for YJ some weeks later. So I guess TG is a bad evaluator of talent too now ?? [ChillLaxin] I'll take that team 91 goalie, now on YJ, if is she ever gets disgruntled.

Do not post much, but for a change here is a positive post. The new YJ (former 91) goalie, is a super player and a nice young lady. YJ is very fortunate that she is part of the team. I wish her luck this year.

Sometimes you go to a tryout and you are at the top of your game other times you aren't. I guess that girl had a great tryout for TG and didn't do as good for YJ it happens. You make choices and live with them.

TG black and YJ blue both have a lot of talent. Maybe the 91'er wanted to play with girls she knows on the YJ blue team.
Both talented most definitely. The TG offer was withdrawn after they found out about the girls registration for YJ tryouts.

The 91 goalie to YJ is a great goalie and person. Humble and talented (maybe some of her YJ teammates can take lessons there). The YJ goalie to TG is also very good. seems like an even swap. Good luck to all.
She is a great kid. All the kids are terrific. To make a statement like that is coming from your desire not to like them because of the uniform they wear . It's a ignorant statement to make about 12 year old girls .. you had me til that statement .
National Indoor Championships, where are the YJ? The Queen Bee is there with her HS team, so don't try to say she doesn't acknowledge the event.
MIDDLE SCHOOL DIVISION 2023 BRACKETS

Curious - what is your evidence to back up the vague statement you made regarding humility/talent on this specific team? Have you gotten to know each of these players individually? I will make an assumption here and it is a no, which will then lead me back to a previous post by someone that lends credence “Make LAX great again, drain the swamp of such negative parents.”

perhaps their reputation precedes them ...good luck to the new kids on the team...breaking the inner circle is pretty tough if you are not FF.. but they will make friends warming the bench...FACT
Again another statement from an angry stage parent. Amazing how all the kids are deemed great when they put on that purple jersey even when they come from YJ.. The last game the teams played as whole teams had a one goal difference . So you are 1 goal better than an untalented team ? Lol. Your a joke. And an old joke at that. White hair and all. If you have such strong feeling, I think you should walk up to any YJ parent and let them know how you feel. IN PERSON. See how that goes.

It’s not the girls, for the most part. The best girls are awesome, as are there parents. It’s the middle packers that tarnish the club. Many of them those girls are either friends and family, or insecure, so they have big mouths. Those mediocre girls are whining floppers, with similar parents. They give a bad name to the club. I know them, and have seen this behavior over several years.

Maybe he should walk up to the athletic director with the meh daughter who ruined the team? Somebody needs to man up and get the guy out! Members of his own team just like to assume everything will work out, which it is not. YJ in this age group is an embarrassment.

I'm sure the top players are training and continually developing their skills while some of their teammates treat lacrosse as a seasonal sport which isn't the case. The parents like to complain because they believe everyone should get equal play time. You are living in a time where everything is fair and equal everyone gets a trophy. Treat the players fairly not equally. Better players get more play time, if you want more play time train and improve.
I second that . Well said
I second that . Well said
but they are taking up space and that is where I think the resentment lies...get rid of them and you would have a quality program. the next couple of years will be telling...who stays, moves up and who leaves ...it still doesn't matter much now but it will soon and hopefully this nonsense of friends and family stops...but clearly , just by the names on the rosters, it is clearly happening

We all hate the YJ but, In 7th Grade, lacrosse should be a seasonal sport.. if your daughter is playing lax 4 seasons a year for the next 6 years.. there is a good chance of burn out.
Now Im not talking about a once a week training or a fall ball tourney.. but you have to let them play other sports, and get good at them... a better alternative to full time lacrosse are the non-sport specific "Speed and Agility" training's popping up.

This is true, but you must have a plan. By this age, we all know who the best girls are. They're the ones that when you see them go on the field, you know you need to be extra vigilant. The opposing team double teams and face guards. The majority of these girls will only get better. As long as they have the grades, they will be heading to ND, Ivy, Duke (UNC is not an option for my daughter, although it is a stellar lax program, not up to par academically). Hopefully, if the hard work continues, dreams will come true!

These comments are so obnoxious on both sides. I hope YOUR dreams of Carolina Blue, Stanford Cardinal, Notre Dame Gold come true for your daughters, but karma has a funny way of flipping the script on life.
This is true, but you must have a plan. By this age, we all know who the best girls are. They're the ones that when you see them go on the field, you know you need to be extra vigilant. The opposing team double teams and face guards. The majority of these girls will only get better. As long as they have the grades, they will be heading to ND, Ivy, Duke (UNC is not an option for my daughter, although it is a stellar lax program, not up to par academically). Hopefully, if the hard work continues, dreams will come true!
"As long as they have the grades, they will be heading to ND, Ivy, Duke (UNC is not an option for my daughter,
although it is a stellar lax program, not up to par academically). "Thank you for making my point. Settle down they are in 7th grade give it a rest.
So....you don’t think that kids that wind up at Princeton and Harvard weren’t on that trajectory in 7th grade? Wake up!
Settle down... Please tell me you don't talk like this in open conversation with people... read this statement out loud in your best Thurston Howell III voice... "UNC is not an option for my daughter, although it is a stellar lax program, not up to par academically." Like I said best of luck in your dreams of Crimson and Black and Orange. Be careful with that "trajectory" for 12 year olds. A slight wind can easily change its course.
Spot on! Plus, I bet it would put a damper on the parent's PTA meeting bragging if their daughter suddenly vocalized her feelings about what she is looking for in her 4 year college experience and it included a big public university with a major football program...
No worries, your daughter will be calling mine boss, oh wait, she already does!

lol these are the no class parents that will be long gone, ...sportsmanship, team building, all what team sports are about are oblivious to this type...it won't be long before all of their obnoxious behavior sends their kids spiraling down...seen it happen many times and its pretty satisfying to watch!

huh.....where????? what?? did your daughter open up a lemonade stand on your front lawn.

Wow, talking about living your pathetic life through your kids. Is it a light laundry day today, so you have time to find value in your life that goes beyond your front door?
This is so precious, making this sort of grand proclamations about 7th graders. I bet you were one of those GS troop leaders that made sure everyone knew about how many badges your precious had and how many cookies she sold. If you were actually out in the world working - you would realize that just because someone is referred to as the boss it does not mean they are the most intellectually acute. Apple tree?
YJs are just plain sore losers. It's a shame they just can't admit another team is better than them. All we've heard the past couple of years is how girls would be leaving other clubs to join YJ. Interesting thing is that never happened, the only new "talent" came from 91, a team that yellow jackets themselves has always ridiculed and said were terrible.
It makes sense that 91 players came over .

The 2023 group for YJ is different than any other team in the club. The reason is all the top players did not flock to YJ. Was it the age recruiting rule change or another reason? TG and Igloo both have very competitive teams. In years past those girls would have come over to YJ to form a super team. It hasn't happened so for the time being we will have 3 top teams on Island. Enjoy the competition.

Or it is because the club has been sold to 91
Wow, this rumor never goes away. You can go back to BOTC in the very first days, it was the fall of 2010, and you can find this same exact rumor. It pops up year after year. The sale of YJ may some day become reality, but not today.

Yes that is why Team 91 has taken over the teams, committed YJ players were displaced or didn't even make it. There is no loyalty, but 91 will soon find that out.

[quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts on Robinson Sports bringing National Girls Lacrosse League (NGLL) to Long Island. Will teams participate?
It could be a great league on Long Island in this age group. Igloo, TG, YJ, Jesters, Liberty, Elevate. The only way to get better is to play the top teams.
In Maryland its a very competitive league.

The directors of the clubs would never play in the same sandbox
In Maryland they do an A and B division in each age group. It’s a double edge sword. On the one hand it’s great for competition on the other hand it really emphasizes club teams over rec or town teams.
I think the ultimate goal is to have a end of season tournament after all of the summer club tournaments have ended. Tournament would be between the winners/top teams of each NGLL region.

Liberty is not good in this age group and they know it. They won't even go to the local Hofstra tournament at the end of the summer because they know they'd play Igloo, TG, Jesters, Legacy and wouldn't beat any one of them.

YJ A is clearly superior to YJ B not even close. YJ B may beat Legacy but no doubt would lose to Jesters. Jesters easily handled Legacy when they played.

I agree with prior post. YJ A/B would be 3rd. Both teams are excellent and would beat jesters. No problem.
Original poster here about NGLL, as much as I enjoy the hypotheticals of who would beat who. What I want to know is are/will any of the LI clubs participate in this league. Then there would be no need for the hypothetical of who is better.
Someone earlier said Liberty would beat Elevate or Jesters or some top team. No shot. Empire (Second string) beat them in the indoor alley pond league and Igloo beat them by 3 touchdowns. Igloo for that matter beat Liberty 2022 Liberty top team. Igloo and TG are in a class of their own in this age group. YJ, Jesters, Elevate, Legacy and Empire Nassau are in next tier. then you got all the rest that include Liberty, Bandits, and so on.....at the way bottom you got fl$.
That said the league would be great, and would have to be broken up into A, B and C. Nobody wants to see TG beat Liberty by 15, nor do they want to see Liberty beat fl$ by 15. Tier 1 Igloo, TG, YJ, Legacy, Jesters, Elevate. Tier 2 Empire, Liberty, YJ B, etc....Tier 3 Medusa, 91, fl$,

Even though TG and Igloo beat YJ last year, YJ belongs in their "league." I think I speak for TG, Igloo, and YJ parents when say I look forward to the teams playing this year. They are always intense games. We all know each other in this age group hopefully we can get over the elementary school chest pounding that has happened in the past and take advantage of the three A teams we have on the Island at this age group.

If the NGLL just dumped this notice without communicating with all the clubs first to not only gauge interest but create a buzz than they make a big mistake. Also, this was done without much notice for teams to pull together as club and skip PAL or middle school leagues already established and committed to by parents.

It's funny that the worse age group (2023) competitively from Long Island also happens to be the most boisterous and obnoxious age group from Long Island. You would figure it to be the other way around.
funny yj b would be 4 overall. They could even be better the team is basically revamped with only the top girls remaining ...it will be interesting to see how they do. Some of those girls were awesome and rode the bench ...they look very promising
I love how the TG parents always include TG as in a class of their own with Igloo. I've seen these teams both play to 1 goal victories against the team in the so called other class teams. Didn't TG go down to one of the YJ teams a few weeks ago at All Star Arena and in the prior game at the same place go down by a good margin before YJ pulled their goalie and gave another goalie ( who is not on the team) some practice reps since it was a new position for her. All these teams can beat each other on any given day. They all have talent and they are all fun to watch . But don't act what was written above didn't happen or since nobody mentioned it for over the past 3 weeks or that it it would be forgotten. The team that won just didn't bring it up until comments like these are made. Post all you want but at least tell the truth and be honest. Ok Prius dad ? If not make sure you kill all the witnesses.

So based on what you said YJ has a top goalie TG has the better field players once you pulled your goalie the wheels came off and you gave up a big lead. What happened to the rest of the team once the goalie was pulled?

You are actually using an indoor practice game where TG Black and Purple were mixed, several key players not there and no subs, with a full YJ roster to compare teams? Summer will be here soon, where real teams play real games....until then, you need a hobby.

Yes, it seems like an incredibly poor business decision to try to expand to LI without first having some of the bigger clubs lined up and ready to go in order to build some momentum. And from talking to people we know with kids on various clubs, no one seems to have heard even a whisper about the possibility of their teams joining this league.

it really doesn't matter which club you play for or the supposed rankings. it is completely irrelevant. What is important though is that your daughter gets the right training at a young age and the club competes in quality tournaments with competitive teams. The colleges will always find the player if they are good no matter what team they play for as long as they see them at the tournaments. I have to admit though that YJ has the best college connections and get quite a few of their girls recruited.

Only age group thus happens, so 2023 parents enjoy it
Lax for the Cure schedule is up and surprisingly Thorn is in the B bracket again with a cake walk to the playoffs as Wright opens up against Hero's Green.

Look the bright side, the Wright girls will get better playing good competition and the Thorn team will continue to stagnate.

Wow, what a joke. YJ will do anything to manipulate a win
[quote=Anonymous]Who won it last year ?
If your goal is to play in a non competitive bracket against other teams B teams and advance to the playoffs that's great. I find it embarrassing that the director has so little faith in her teams to win an A bracket she puts them in B brackets and hopes they win 20 min playoff games. Not just the 2023 group it's also for the 24's and the great Spallina team.
Just trying to save a sinking ship
I hear what you are saying. But if you are not a good team you will eventually be exposed in the playoffs which didn't happen. YJ won that tournament and ALL the best teams were there M&D, Heros ,TG, Skywalkers, YJ .. etc. I though that they set it up like an NCAA bracket. 16 plays 1 ...5 plays 7 etc. or the powers that be set it up so that the better teams have the better chance of ending up in a playoff scenario. This would make more sense. If they put all of the teams mentioned above in the same division, you will get a power house team playing Cobra Kai in the finals and that would stink and not be realistic. At that point, you might as well just have an invite only tournament with just these teams over a 3 day period and never play anyone else. I'm not sure how to make it work perfectly. It a shame these teams mentioned in this thread don't play each other more. Its pretty cool to watch the competition and the different styles and a higher level.
All the teams mentioned are in the same division except one.

It a shame these teams mentioned in this thread don't play each other more. Its pretty cool to watch the competition and the different styles and a higher level.
The playoffs consist of 20 games you can score a couple of goals, play stall ball and win the game. Much more difficult to win a 40 min game. Wouldn't you agree its much easier to play in a weaker bracket and coast to the playoffs than if you play in an extremely competitive bracket in which each game is a challenge. Look at the bracket comparisons there will be good teams in bracket A that won't make the playoffs.
Bracket A Bracket B
M&D Black YJ Blue
Monster M&D Red
TG Black Hero's White
Stars Blue Stars Black
Maryland United Snipers
Dew Lax Blue Steps Blue
Your 100% correct. I would assume it's one of the teams that didn't make the playoffs last year at Lax For The Cure and it isn't M&D
[quote=Anonymous]I hear what you are saying. But if you are not a good team you will eventually be exposed in the playoffs which didn't happen. YJ won that tournament and ALL the best teams were there M&D, Heros ,TG, Skywalkers, YJ .. etc. I though that they set it up like an NCAA bracket. 16 plays 1 ...5 plays 7 etc. or the powers that be set it up so that the better teams have the better chance of ending up in a playoff scenario. This would make more sense.

Either way there is problem put all the strong teams in one bracket and you'll have a weak playoffs or spread out the good teams and you'll have blow out games in pool play but more competitive playoffs.
[quote=Anonymous]funny yj b would be 4 overall. They could even be better the team is basically revamped with only the top girls remaining ...it will be interesting to see how they do. Some of those girls were awesome and rode the bench ...they look very promising
Looks like CR is a believer in the revamped Wright team as they will take on Hero's Green at the Lax for the Cure tournament.
I agree it's not right. That's a very tough schedule . But my point is that the winner of that bracket should win the tournament and they didn't . Anyone of those teams can beat each other on any given day. They should have a tournament with the same teams in n that bracket and add a few more teams YJ, Igloo etc. Not sure why Igloo passes on that tournament. At any rate I look forward to the season and hopefully better weather. I'm happy if any of our local teams beat the Maryland teams whether it be YJ, TG , legacy... Whomever . End of story. Unfortunately , Yellow Jacket derrangment syndrome destroys that concept and many of the useful stunads can't get past that .
Igloo tried to get into the tourney, but since they only would be entering teams in 2021, 23 and 24 they are negged or put on the waiting list.....either way they were locked out of that tourney along with a few other BIG ones. Not about the best teams but rather getting clubs who bring numerous teams..$$$$$
Wright is in a better situation ..
Very true! Jesters tried to get into Lax for the Cure and were waitlisted for same reason. Not enough teams to put in not enough $$.
All American Lacrosse Tournament next week prediction for the Final
Igloo vs YJ
The All American has a few real good teams there...
YJ Thorn, Jesters, NXT and Igloo,,,,should be a great battle. All While YJB wright wins the B bracket by beating C level teams 15-1. Thats gonna be a real waste of trip for Wright
Igloo vs YJ Thorn early Saturday to open the tourney, shud be a battle.
This question has probably been answered a bunch of times in here but there's 70 pages to read... I'm curious what organizations offer decent 2023 programs for mediocre level girls. Not the top level and not the lower level. My daughter would like to play on a club team but is less than a top level player.

Liberty, Elevate, Legacy and Empire are all mediocre teams in the 2023 age group.

I've been trying to figure out the same thing. It's difficult to determine because the most recognizable LI teams rarely seem to play each other, and are always leaving the Island to play in Maryland, etc. Even when at the same tourney, it appears they are always in different brackets so don't cross paths...

Those teams are some of the better ones, above mediocre, you're honestly prob better off checking what teams practice around you just to get your daughter involved, there are plenty of teams on the island and if you dont think your daughter is top of the food chain like most of these posters here, you can find a a decent team based geographically.
You should consider a few things when joining. Start with where you live. For example, if you're in Nassau, Liberty is prob your best choice. If you live in Suffolk, Top Guns or YJ. There are others, of course, too. Go to a few tryouts and then you can decide based on what teams she makes, the cost for the program and the tournaments they attended (and maybe how well they did or didn't do), the prior summer.
Good luck! My daughter plays in college and is finished with her summer lacrosse playing days. I miss them!
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
Not sure where you live, but if you are close to Garden City, you may want to consider Medusa lacrosse . We live in town and our younger child ( below 3rd grade ) participated in their clinics and camps this past Spring. We are not a lacrosse family but they introduced the game and made the fundamentals and scrimmages enjoyable for the kids. the ladies who run the program are also great role models, in every aspect, for the girls. Otherwise, I think they have a couple travel teams that are around 2023. here is the link

YJ Thorn was schooled by Igloo and NXT today, looks like all that new talent CR found is not producing. Not the great coach/director she once was. Sad that greed got in the way of a good thing
thorn looked a mess, that team can't get it together....CR only A team that can't produce..

Take a look at the 2020 team they can’t produce either

Nobody told you to accept a position on this team. If you aren't happy leave th he starters play because it gives the team the best chance to win. You are obviously jealous so stop sulking and have your daughter train harder.

Ha! But those girls can’t get the job done can they? There is the problem. If this team consistently loses. The players are the problem. And if this has been a losing team for several years and those girls cannot get job done then a good coach would want to play other players. Why we left.
Different Voice here: If “You Left” then why are you trolling this team? Only YOU cN answer that to yourself. “Why am I trolking the team that we left because of whatever?” And then ask, “What am I really about!”

she didn't find talent it was a business merger...they weren't really looking at talent. those girls don't play anyway
yj thjorn 4-0 down in MD; guess whose guess whose back guess whose back!!

So far as we are about 3 weeks into the club season I was hoping we can have an educated debate on the top 10 teams on the island.
Top 3 are clearly Thorn, TG Black and Igloo....no real debate there. Not sure order although igloo did beat thorn in a close game so guess Igloo/TG Black are 1A and 1B and Thorn is a close 3rd
4/5 Legacy or Jesters.... Legacy played better comp so give them the 4 spot
6/7 Elevate and Wright/YJ B.... this wud be a close game
8 Liberty Black...not sure who they played this yr
9/10 Empire/Bandits and whoever else round out the top 10
Am I missing anyone
Does TG Black play Igloo or Thorn this year??? Instead of traveling they should have a league w/ TG, Igloo, Thorn, Legacy, Jesters, Elevate and YJ B

IMO the top3 are accurate. Those 3 teams have a chance to play each other at the Nationals if all the clubs attend or the Hofstra Tournament at the end of July. Jesters have beaten Legacy so they get the nod. Elevate is ok. Wright needs to challenge the team putting them in more competitive brackets to see where they stand. The rest who really knows they don't enter competitive tournaments.

If LI was to do what Maryland does w/ a club spring league it would go like this
Division A Division B
Igloo YJ Wright
TG Black TG Purple
YJ Thorn Bandits
Legacy Blue Empire Suffolk
Jesters Empire Nassau
Liberty Black fl$
Elevate 91 Extreme
Why not do this???; apologize if I am missing a program or two; maybe YJ wright can play w/ the A but safe to say nobody else in the B could.

what teams did empire beat in MD?? didnt elevate crush empire at hofstra last summer?? obviously teams change each yr but i thought elevate was a low A team and Empire was a mid B team....could be wrong, why i asked. did they switch spots? either way they shud be playing each other then in a league

GREAT idea; Maryland does it every yr and then they dont travel outside MD in the summer much
Almost need 3 divisions though
Top division wud be Igloo, TG, YJ Blue, Jesters, and Legacy
2nd tier could be Liberty Black, elevate, empire, YJ Gold, and TG Purple
3rd div 91, fl$, bandits, and so on
have crossover games but try to keep competitive games; nobody likes the 15-1 games whether you winning or losing

Empire Nassau best TLC red and Hero’s white ( both beat Elevate.) They are not even close to the same team that Elevate beat last year. Half the teams you lumped with them in B division they crushed at Laxfest this weekend. Not saying ready to play top 3 teams but I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as you state. IMO.
Gotcha... okay those are 2 good wins... TLc red isnt a bad team and hero's white is the best B team in md; they are like yj gold; only B on paper but an A team on the field.
Hopefully empire enters Hofstra in the A bracket this year; sounds like they have a new improved team..... Never know,maybe they can upset Igloo or TG Black.

Jesters beat Legacy I guess last year, not sure but either way in 2018 I wud think it be a competitive game. Jesters is a very good team who can be competitive with most teams out there. They played Igloo a couple weeks ago in a semi final game and hung in there.....lost by a bunch but heard it wasnt embarrassing.
How great would it be to see the Legacy/Jester games and the TG Black/Igloo games and then have a team like Empire get their shot to move up the ranks by playing Liberty Black and then if they can beat them then Jesters or Legacy. Only one way to gauge yourself and its by getting out on the field against each other.

Elevate, Legacy, Liberty black, Jesters, Empire and YJ gold/wright

1 Jesters
2 YJ B
3 Elevate
4 Legacy
5 Empire
6 Liberty
We should know how accurate the ratings are in a couple of weeks. Liberty avoids all competition so they should be last until proven otherwise.

Top Guns is a legit program for all grades but its pride and joy is the TG 2023 Black team. TG's B (purple) teams are good B teams, but dont be fooled; all the TGs, the YJ, Express and 91 for boys are ALL about their TOP teams, the rest are money grabs. Top teams are their branding, the rest are just to fatten the wallet
Where is Legacy upstate??? IF Empire is good then why are they playing in back to back C level tournaments????
Legacy would have been a good game for Empire to prove they are an A team, instead they are going to be the KING of the BAD teams!!

That is correct; it is a biz though at the end of day. It's great to have solid B and C teams but when it comes down to it people only care about your TOP team. If 125 kids try out for a certain year at any particular club, they will make 5 teams..... No kid w/parents willing to pay will be sent away without being put on the gold, gray, red or teal team

Legacy update
Legacy is a low grade A team that is coached and trained extremely well. The coaching staff is probably the best in the age group led by BBP( R Gick) and Mattituck (M Mollony.) The team is lacking talent behind some of the top girls and need to be nearly perfect to win games .But don't be surprised if they upset one of those top teams and in the same tournament lose to a subpar level team. For example.. I believe last weekend in Maryland the beat skywalkers and then had to come crawling back to edge out TCL . We'll see who they really are at Hofstra.

Legacy is a low grade A team that is coached and trained extremely well. The coaching staff is probably the best in the age group led by BBP( R Gick) and Mattituck (M Mollony.) The team is lacking talent behind some of the top girls and need to be nearly perfect to win games .But don't be surprised if they upset one of those top teams and in the same tournament lose to a subpar level team. For example.. I believe last weekend in Maryland the beat skywalkers and then had to come crawling back to edge out TCL . We'll see who they really are at Hofstra.
That's a very accurate and honest analysis of Legacy at the 2023 group.
They have some top talent just not that deep and believe they are anchored by one of the top goalies in 2023 group on Long Island.
YJ Thorn got a big upgrade in the nets when 91 crew all fled and that goalie landed at YJ; I think its unanimous that she is the top goalie in 23 group but from what I heard the BBP/Legacy goalie is a close 2nd.
All these teams are traveling to play MD, NJ, and PA teams which is great, but why cant we get the Thursday night showdown of Legacy vs YJ Wright, Jesters vs Empire, and TG Black vs Igloo?? I am sure all the kids would LOVE it. Whats preventing it?

TLC Red which is their A team and probably ranks as the 10th best team in Maryland has a 1-3 record vs Long Island this year
BLOWN out by YJ Thorn
Lost to Legacy and Empire in close games
cant think who they beat though???? anyone know who they beat from Long Island??
Lagacy is a Top B team. Tied Skywalkers last weekend and lost to Monsters. Had a couple wins against softer teams but they were by only 1 goal and 3 goals. Very good B team. Goal differential last weekend was Minus 4. Got to watch them a few times and their goalie is very good but also not in the same field as both TG goalies, both YJA goalies and Igloo goalie. Unanimously the new YJA goalie from 91/Rocky Point is #1. Leg goalie in the top 6-10 on Long Island just as Legacy is in the top 6-10 teams from LI. Coaching is excellent, but needs to fix attitude of a top player. Not an asset to the team when all not going her way. Would not be tolerated on other teams.
How are the Top Guns teams? Legit A/B teams?
Top Guns is a legit program for all grades but its pride and joy is the TG 2023 Black team. TG's B (purple) teams are good B teams, but dont be fooled; all the TGs, the YJ, Express and 91 for boys are ALL about their TOP teams, the rest are money grabs. Top teams are their branding, the rest are just to fatten the wallet
Where is Legacy upstate??? IF Empire is good then why are they playing in back to back C level tournaments????
Legacy would have been a good game for Empire to prove they are an A team, instead they are going to be the KING of the BAD teams!!
Because they own those tournaments.
YJ Thorn got a big upgrade in the nets when 91 crew all fled and that goalie landed at YJ; I think its unanimous that she is the top goalie in 23 group but from what I heard the BBP/Legacy goalie is a close 2nd.
Dear Goalie Mom or Dad, we think your daughter is better than the YJA/91 goalie. It is sad she does not get the recognition she deserves. Keep up the great job!

Elevate
Igloo gets an automotive bid to Nationals because they won it last year. Also, they happen to be in first place with points as of now. Top guns, yellow jackets, jesters, legacy, are all in the mix fighting for a spot in the top 16 to go to the nationals. The website is not correcn It seems as if last weeks tournaments have not been tallied It also seems that the points from the weekend before, need to be revised and have not been yet.
TLC Red beat Top Guns Black 6 to 5 at the Summer Classic
held June 9th and 10th in Bel Air Maryland.

Dear Goalie Mom or Dad, we think your daughter is better than the YJA/91 goalie. It is sad she does not get the recognition she deserves. Keep up the great job!
Just clarify for me here........ this is a joke about the kid who used to play goalie for Igloo and left for some reason???. Someone told me Igloo scored 38 goals on her at an indoor game over the winter; from what I heard she got the message. Did that goalie go to Jesters??
I dont think anyone that has seen the 23 teams play would argue that the 91/YJ Thorn goalie is the best out there. I am not her mom or dad, just a
parent who knows when he sees a great goalie and that kid is on the path to a big time program if she keeps it up
TG and Igloo, not sure who their goalies are and I am sure they are very talented, but it also helps to have great players in front of you and those teams don't lack lots of talent.
Good Luck to all the goalies and their parents; toughest and most unappreciated position on the field

Someone mentioned the TG and Igloo goalies.....
u got to be a solid keeper to be on those teams. TG and Igloo clearly along w/Thorn the best 2023 teams on the island.
igloo beat thorn, and maybe tg and thorn meet this weekend
Exactly. All mentioned are very good and will have a good future. With this under appreciated position comes opportunity as their are so few. So, Goalie Moms & Dads, just enjoy your child. They are all being complimented.

OH ! I see so any other team that gets beat by Tlc Red they just stink and must be a B team but when top guns Black loses its “Oh they just had a bad day” Very Funny how it goes with you.

Igloo is a small club that cannot get into huge tournaments like Lax for the cure and the Mid Atlantic summer club championship it will severely hurt their recruiting opportunities in the future. A lot of college coaches at Lax for the cure.

Have a safe trip home and while you're driving, remember you're an adult and should have a life about now.
This team is in big trouble. Heard a bunch of girls are looking to leave after the season. Enough is enough. Igloo and TG have both left YJ behind. Both of those teams have room for a couple of the better YJ girls, will be interesting!

YJ gets rid of one daddy coach and adds 2 more daddy coaches. This is a disaster. Then add Thorn cursing out the girls after a loss. Too many problems on this team.
yj thjorn 4-0 down in MD; guess whose guess whose back guess whose back!!
Took down Skywalkers and Monster Black and CRUSHED TLC Red!!
That Empire team was pounding their chest when they beat tlc red a couple weeks ago by 1g...... WE JUST CRUSHED THEM 10-1.... put empire back in the bathroom with $91 and liberty and Bandits...
This is hysterical !! typical YJ parent ..Putting down other teams to make yourself feel good...get help !!!
Hmmm. Didn’t Wright lose to Hero’s white this weekend 8-1? You know The same team Empire beat? Empire beat Brookhaven 12-3 this weekend.. so I’m thinking maybe they can come out of the bathroom.

Hopefully!
I have watched this age group develop for quite some time. Here are my observations:
YJ started strong , attracted the best talent initially, but lost several of the best girls in the grade along the way due to politics. The team still has some great talent, but can't seem to get it together. perhaps due to poor coaching /entitlement.
TG has a great group and has gained some studs over the past couple years, they have improved, but still need to learn how to finish the big games. They could use a couple more girls with a presence on the field, and can finish shots. The stick skills are solid, but they get beat up playing bigger more athletic teams.
Igloo is defiantly the most improved team in the age group. What they lack is depth, and exposure to top talent. They are also the most expensive club, and you don't get what you pay for. I would love to see them at some of the more competitive tournaments, but even if they can'y get in, a few studs there that are tops in the age group.
Good luck to all the girls/teams moving forward, my daughter plays on one of them and I have respect for all the hardworking girls. Three great teams, all with things to figure out.
TG has never been beat up by anyone.

Hmmm, they beat YJ every time, Beat Igloo most and beat MD Black in a full game last weekend 10-5. How did your daughters team do?
TG Lost to Hero’s Green two weeks ago 8-4
TG Lost to Hero’s Green two weeks ago 8-4
And Hero's Green lost to M&D Black last weekend.....your point?
TG has never been beat up by anyone.
point is pretty simple- TG black lost to Hero's 8-4. You made the remark they have never been beat up by anyone. M & D is a fantastic team. Hero's and M& D enjoy playing each other and are better for it, love the friendly competition and the girls are all friends. No enemies between MD teams, that seems to be a long island issue.

Very confused at your point. ALL of the top teams have good games and not so good games, I believe it’s anout the overall body of work and the strive to move forward from setbacks and improve. ALL of the top teams have suffered losses to one another. That includes YJ, Igloo, Heros, MD United and MD black. Nobody tried to claim that Top Guns is a number one team, but certainly should be in the conversation as a top competitor. They were the first LI team to beat M&D by a nice margin, and made it to the championship game at LFTC, we’re M&D took the championship. It was a great game and a pleasure to make it to play the end. Parents on both sides were respectful and complementary of the girls. Do they have a lot of work to do...yes. But so do all the other teams. Now erase that HEROS paint from the back of your SUV and come down to earth. You were beat by M&D and went home losers. Too bad you’re not as humble as M&D.
8-4, beat up? Anyone who watched the game knows otherwise. Chest pounding, loud mouth dads.
Can I honestly ask what you mean by entitlement?
Does this mean girls on the team because the coaches are too afraid of the wrath of their parents in case they were cut?

No. Think more friends and family. You live in the right zip code, have siblings that play in the program , pay for training from the coaches in the program, etc

Exactly. Yj takes Both of their teams to a unknown tournament playing unknown B teams. Both teams win their pool games, two or three playoff games and the A-Team wins the championship. This results in both those teams earning 100+ points apiece towards the nationals… By tomorrow when you look at the point tally both those teams should be way up at the top. Transparent.
Same conversation- How does US Lacrosse organization differentiate between those teams that play in the correct sanctioned tournaments but in B or C brackets? Do they award the same points for wins over lesser teams? How is that remotely fair to the teams that work their tails off, put themselves in the A bracket consistently With aspirations to make it to the top 16 for nationals?

Most teams don't go to Nationals it's a money grab. The real Nationals are Lax for the cure and the Mid Atlantic.
My colleagues in my office were asking about travel sports since I always seem to be at games every weekend. One guy said I heard parents are nuts. I said their are a lot of good people and plenty of crazies who I honestly feel bad for their children. They asked for examples so I brought them to my computer and said look through these posts. Mouths open they said this is insane. It took about 3 minutes to come across this post. They said nooooo way that was written by an adult. I said I cant be sure but I would say 99% sure it was. They took pictures of my screen to show friends that people have no problem talking this way about 12-13 year old girls. By the way to the original poster of piece, a colleauge is someone a person works with. That word was probably over your head.

My above post about my friends at work was attached to the yj parent posting guess whos back, guess whos back and saying girls should be in the toilet. Classy!! Not sure if thats you but if not you two should definetly meet. Comparing 12 year old sports to the business world is great. Another parent who never did anything athletically in their life trying to live through their daughter. I hope she does great at Maryland or James Madison because if she doesn’t5DpuxP play for a national champion then what was it all for????

I just read that twice to make sure I didn't mis-read. Your 7th grader gets "railed up and ready to compete" by reading posts on BOTC by idiotic parents? Interesting approach. I'm sure you know what you're doing. It's just to bad you don't have a way to get your unique motivational style to the coaches at the big D1 schools. SMH.

You only receive points towards nationals if you are playing in the A bracket.
THorn beat Monster Black 10-3 and 7-2 this weekend. Monster Black is a very good team; that tied MD United and M&D black and crushed Skywalkers this summer and also beat TG Black 12-5 (qualify under beatdown??) last summer. Yes TG paid them back a few weeks ago.
Thorn is 3-0 vs Monster Black this summer.
The reason some folks esp MD folks want to discredit the Nationals is because they are age based and this group (2023) are competing in the U-13 age group. Whether you like or not most players on Hero's Green and M&D black are 14 before the end of the summer. The only team that went from MD last summer was Elite lacrosse and they didnt even make the semis.
The whole hold back BS is another topic but it's one that has gotten ridiculous. Lacrosse should be like hockey and soccer; birth year/
Good luck girls

You only receive points towards nationals if you are playing in the A bracket.
THorn beat Monster Black 10-3 and 7-2 this weekend. Monster Black is a very good team; that tied MD United and M&D black and crushed Skywalkers this summer and also beat TG Black 12-5 (qualify under beatdown??) last summer. Yes TG paid them back a few weeks ago.
Thorn is 3-0 vs Monster Black this summer.
The reason some folks esp MD folks want to discredit the Nationals is because they are age based and this group (2023) are competing in the U-13 age group. Whether you like or not most players on Hero's Green and M&D black are 14 before the end of the summer. The only team that went from MD last summer was Elite lacrosse and they didnt even make the semis.
The whole hold back BS is another topic but it's one that has gotten ridiculous. Lacrosse should be like hockey and soccer; birth year/

Why do you only mention Monster as a good team in the Trilogy Tournament how about the other teams
Westchester Elite(won 20-0), Metro(won14-5), Garden State(won 13-0), House of Sports(won 9-4) all very good teams.
Enough of this nonsense. Tournament Season is here great first match up at the Mid Atlantic Summer Club Championship

Sounds like a nice beat down is imminent.

Igloo did beat Thorn and NXT in the first tourney of summer, but since then they won National Draw ( a tournament that was competitive 5 years ago).
Igloo may not have lost many games this summer, but since they beat thorn, thorn has beat monster 3x, skywalkers, tlc red, and many other solid teams while Igloo has relaxed on the beach. Igloo is a very talented team, but I think right now Thorn would be a slight favorite.

The problem with this age group for the YJ is there are too many good options out there. In years past all the top girls flocked to YJ. Now you have the top girls spread out playing YJ, TG and Igloo. TG beat M&D, imagine playing M&D with an all star team of YJ,TG and Igloo players it would be no contest. In years past that is how it used to be not anymore. In this age group YJ only has 2 teams not many girls for this program. YJ B teams have always been a low A team not the case here they have trouble competing with other teams B teams. As long as there are good options out there this age group will be never be dominant.

How is that remotely fair to the teams that work their tails off, put themselves in the A bracket consistently With aspirations to make it to the top 16 for nationals?
You only receive points towards nationals if you are playing in the A bracket.
THorn beat Monster Black 10-3 and 7-2 this weekend. Monster Black is a very good team; that tied MD United and M&D black and crushed Skywalkers this summer and also beat TG Black 12-5 (qualify under beatdown??) last summer. Yes TG paid them back a few weeks ago.
Thorn is 3-0 vs Monster Black this summer.
The reason some folks esp MD folks want to discredit the Nationals is because they are age based and this group (2023) are competing in the U-13 age group. Whether you like or not most players on Hero's Green and M&D black are 14 before the end of the summer. The only team that went from MD last summer was Elite lacrosse and they didnt even make the semis.
The whole hold back BS is another topic but it's one that has gotten ridiculous. Lacrosse should be like hockey and soccer; birth year/
Good luck girls
Thorn is winless vs Igloo.
Igloo did beat Thorn and NXT in the first tourney of summer, but since then they won National Draw ( a tournament that was competitive 5 years ago).
Igloo may not have lost many games this summer, but since they beat thorn, thorn has beat monster 3x, skywalkers, tlc red, and many other solid teams while Igloo has relaxed on the beach. Igloo is a very talented team, but I think right now Thorn would be a slight favorite.
Thorn
Igloo
TG Black
Legacy
Jesters
Did empire beat icon and lady ducks?? ok maybe they snuck in the top 10
Igloo has been resting on the beach waiting for Nationals so they can pound YJ once again.
LOL!!
[quote=Anonymous]YJ has already played in 5 qualifying tournaments, TG has played in 2. And please stop with the rankings, TG has one loss to a Long Island team. And has beat every team YJ daddy is bragging about handley. Bragging about Monster, ha.
TG is 1-1 vs Monster Black
TG is 1-2 vs TLC Red (the one win was in a shortened playoff game)
Thorn is 3-0 vs Monster Black
Thorn beat TLC Red (I know TLC Red is a low A team that even LI B teams like Empire beat I believe) but we beat them 10-1
Don't let facts get in the way of your selective stats TG beat TLC 14-6, 9-4 at Summer Classic.
And YJ Thorm beat HOS 9-4 and Empire beat them
13-2.. bc coach didn’t allow more. Stop calling Empire a B team .
Creative stats, played TLC 4 times last year alone. 2-1 vs them this year, good try though. Try worrying about your YJ team.
Your bracket does not matter. You just have to participate in a US Lacrosse Sanctioned National Qualifying tournament. If you win, you get points.

Empire needs to be in an A bracket of a tournament until then they are a B team
So any team can play in a lower tiered bracket and stack up the wins and points. Then make nationals over a better team the plays in all A brackets against better teams? Didn’t seem fair. Why would US Lacrosse allow that ? So the B teams can make it over A teams because they play easier competition?

When did TG beat TLC besides the shortened game??/
TG lost to TLC last summer and this summer
We cant compare scores....I get it, if A beats B and B beats C, that doesnt mean A beats C.
Empire has won 1.5 games this summer. they beat tlc red 7-6 and hero's white in a short playoff game where they were down 3-0, and they want to think they are a low A team.
Here is a fact for Empire fans,,,,,, if this was Vegas, here would be the lines
Thorn -7.5 goals over Empire
TG Black -8 goals over Empire
Igloo -10.5 goals over Empire, and I give them the biggest spread not because they are the best but because the bad blood, and I heard they beat Empire 33-5 in indoor this winter
Bottomline is THorn, Igloo, TG.....and I agree Empire needs to stop playing Icon and Bandits and Lady Ducks.......enter A at hofstra

try this one..... THorn beat TLC Red 10-1 and Monster Black beat TLC 14-4
TLC Red is the lone quality win that Empire has
Empire beat Blue Devils, Bandits, HOS, DWI, TLC, and GFY so until you beat a couple quality teams you guys will be known as the best C team on Long Island

How many kids on Empire played JV this past season for their HS?? TG, Thorn and Igloo had a few at least
Monster Black NOT an A team??????
Beat Legacy 14-6
Beat TLC Red 14-4
Skywalkers 11-4
Stars Blue 7-6
THOSE ARE 4 A caliber teams

You sound soooo Intelligent. They are 12 Year Old Girls who love the game. Unfortunately we have parents writing this nonsense like you trying to live out your childhood dreams through your Kid. You must have had a rough life as a kid. Maybe 1 day you’ll get help.
I know I know and now you’ll get all pissy and comeback with another anonymous quote on how much of a badass your kids team is or how stupid everyone else sounds except for you who should be looking in the mirror.
Top Guns, Igloo and Yellow Jackets are very good teams we get it. . Congratulations! Now please go hug your kids and enjoy them while their young because soon you will be wondering where time has gone.
No- the A bracket has CT grizzlies elevate jesters TG and igloo. Empire in the B bracket.
Wow!!! Someone made some sense on here. And to so many others on this page its only 4 more years until Maryland, Duke, Syracuse etc. will be waiting at your door step with a letter offering a free ride. We all know it will happen for so many of you and are thrilled for your good fortune. That is the only reason you signed your daughters up in the first place isn't it.

Look the girls play the games and God Bless them; it's the clowns that do the chatting/chirpin in here; guilty as charged here....so when the Bronx Tale reference said 'put empire in the bathroom' like Sonny said to coffeecake, it was a joke towards the parents.
Now that we got that covered, whether the Empire parents are right, wrong or delusional....one thing isnt debatable.....and that is they got the Empire name out there. They have played a joke schedule this summer but they have won those joke games and won convincingly
Hopefully we see them play the top teams at Hofstra
Does anyone know what towns the empire crew hails from?? assume lynbrook based since coach is varsity coach
Good Luck to the crew, the more good teams we have on the island the better...grow the game

It's not a secret that of the 7 teams in that pool Igloo and TG are in a class by themselves. Why let a team advance without having to beat at least 1 of them??

YJ Wright and Legacy are about the same. Decent B teams. It's not about the Coach. Not every girl is an A player, and not everyone deserves trophies. Even on TG and Thorn and Igloo, there are only about 2-3 players that are truly outstanding, and the problem is that when they play teams like M&D, the depth hurts them. Now if we got all of the top players together on one team, it would be scary!

NXT is a very good team, and yes maybe Legacy was one of the weaker teams in their group but they played and lost to some of the best teams around, rather then playing in a B/C group like some of the teams from around the 'empire' state do. Legacy got enough t-shirts, we love the competition even if it results in losses. Hofstra we got the 2 monsters saturday and then some W's sunday!!
The “win” over NXT was actually just “leading by 1” when the weather stopped play. The first time NOT playing lower level tournaments, where all those T-Shirts cane from, showed what is commonly known. Now have a good Hofstra tournament.
Did anyone attend the Lax Blast tournament in Suffolk this weekend? Was this a good tournament? We skipped this one and went to Hofstra.

Yes the weather did stop the game when the score was 3-2 Legacy over NXT....the next line I didnt understand. Legacy always plays in the TOP group vs the TOP teams. Legacy plays Igloo and TG Black at Hofstra saturday..................coincidence that Empire and Jesters AVOID both those automatic losses???
Did anyone attend the Lax Blast tournament in Suffolk this weekend? Was this a good tournament? We skipped this one and went to Hofstra.
Good miss; Hofstra is a MUCH more competitive team that Lax Blast. Blue Devils won lax blast and they couldnt beat one team in the westhampton group of 7 teams

That's odd that you say that given that Liberty, Legacy, Empire, Yellow Jackets were at Lax Blast. Please back under your rock.
Big announcement coming soon from TG, should shake things up a bit!
How do Empire and Jesters "Avoid those loses" in a tournament they do not run? Pretty funny how you take a swipe at teams that enter the tournament they don't run, get placed by the tournament they don't run but its their fault they don't play Igloo, etc. Am I missing something?

All those teams stink except for YJ, who are not getting better playing sub par competition. But I’m sure those girls will be biting their “medals” bragging that they beat nobody. Just another example of how their director puts them into tournaments that are not challenging, because she has a stake in it. Sad for them, because they are already struggling.

How do you know which tournaments are good?
You are obviously new to this game. YJ Thorne has been entered, as appropriate, into the “A” division of EVERY tournament this season. Why wouldn’t they? We’ll see at The Nationals, where the True 2023’s, not
Playig as 14 year olds a grade down fair. As a YJ Thorne Father, I would say that, With Igloo having won it last year and beating us the first
Weekend of the season And TG Black having another grwat season, the facts point to us being 3rd best on LI at this age group and approximately the 4th to 6th best team at this age group (if older girls of MD, M&D Black and Hero’s Green are included), but Plah-leeeeze......Legscy, Empire & Jesters.... S-T-O-P pretending you are part of this conversation. You ARE NOT. Disintegrate and join a real TOP 3 organization on LI
Unfortunately - LI only has 1 high level tournamen. And it’s not a US lacrosse sanctioned tournament. That’s the Hofstra tourny next weekend.
You will never see the top teams waste their time and money staying at the Long island tournaments. Tg yes- In their own tournament of course. But did yellow jackets, top guns, igloo, jesters , maybe even legacy, play on the Island yet? No. Not once.
These Teams all Travel to Maryland, New Jersey, PA. To get better you have to play the better teams. You may not win every game, you may not win any tournaments. But to be playing at the highest level and call yourself an a team that’s where you have to go and you have to play in the A brackets. Notice TG purple andYJ B teams they to go to these tournaments but never in the top brackets… They are well placed by the tournament directors as they should be. To bad Yj are not attending Koster this weekend… Would be a great chance to have all the higher competitive teams together at least once.
I have an actual question (please refrain from sarcasm). My daughter played Elevate this year and as stated above, we went to several tournaments and the competition was weak at best. the other poster is correct, we drove to MD to play some very bad competition. We did win and get a t-shirt for the win but my daughter got NOTHING out of this season. My 2022 is above average player. I also have a 2023 who is much better than average but did nit play travel this summer and will likely start next summer. The goal of joining travel this year was for her to play with much better kids, push herself and improve and play strong competition and get good coaching. With Elevate we unfortunately did not get any of those things. It was nice, with the tent, and the gear and the dinners but for the amount of money we spent and the time and money we spent on travel it was not what we were looking for. This weekend was a microcosm of the entire season. We won all of our games in blowouts and the highlight was setting up one girl for a BTB goal and everyone on the field knew it was coming. The club owner and his daughter acted as if it was the highlight of the summer. The 2023 Elevate team lost to the Jesters who didnt look that good for a travel lax team.The club owner and the daughter are just not what we are looking for when it comes to travel lax. So my question is, where do we go for tryouts in August and September. We are truly looking for them to be challenged, be coached and to get better. On Elevate my 2022 was one of the best kids and honestly, she is only slightly above average in the lacrosse world. We live on the boarder on Nassau and Suffolk and would think we have some real options. Again, I have a 2022 and a 2023. I will post in the 2023 forum as well for input. Thanks in advance for your reply.
[quote=Anonymous]Those are NOT 4 “A” caliber teams. Those are 4 B caliber teams!!! Get real, Legacy went 0-4 this weekebd way, way, way out of heir league against A Teams. The other might be A minus or B plus
Legacy only has 1 team that is an A caliber team and that is 2020. The 23 team is not A more like a B- the scores don’t lie. It is what it is.
Legacy will rebound this weekend.
There are three A caliber teams on Long Island for the 23 group.... all 3 are top 10 in all of club ball and that's TG Black, Igloo and Thorn (mighty YJ).
Next tier has some very good A-/B+ teams and that includes Legacy and Jesters..... and maybe Empire puts themselves in that group this weekend at Hofstra! good luck to all

Legacy beat NXT which is a good team. The other games were close except for the TG game.
NXT is a very good team, and yes maybe Legacy was one of the weaker teams in their group but they played and lost to some of the best teams around, rather then playing in a B/C group like some of the teams from around the 'empire' state do. Legacy got enough t-shirts, we love the competition even if it results in losses. Hofstra we got the 2 monsters saturday and then some W's sunday!!
NXT win was a half called do to the weather, lost 9-2 to M&D and don't count Empire or Jesters out for Sunday both teams are very solid.

What are you talking about....Lax Blast??
That is not the Legacy team from Long Island; YJ were not there, Liberty was not there. what are u talking about??? maybe you were under a rock, but the best teams from Long Island outside the YJ will be at Hofstra this weekend

this is a 2023 thread and why dont you check your info..... thats suffolk empire which is not to be confused w/Nassau Empire (12 goal difference), NO YJ, NO Liberty, and NO Legacy, since that Legacy is from clifton NY I believe.
So again as someone stated before, the Lax Blast at least for the 2023 group is not a very strong tourney.
Hofstra on the otherhand has some of the top 23 teams around.
How do Empire and Jesters "Avoid those loses" in a tournament they do not run? Pretty funny how you take a swipe at teams that enter the tournament they don't run, get placed by the tournament they don't run but its their fault they don't play Igloo, etc. Am I missing something?
You're right, no coach or director ever calls in special requests. Sorry my mistake that would never happen.

I am not a YJ parent but I AGREE 100% with what you said........ In the 23 group, it's Igloo, TG Black, and Thorn, and then everyone falls off a cliff.
Those 3 teams will beat any of the next 3 teams on Long Island by 8-12 goals.
Well said and yes the nationals is the true test cause the 14 yr old MD kids wont be there. Send your 2024 13 yr olds and see how they fare??

Empire has gone undefeated this summer against some of the best D and C teams around....that said have they lost a game this summer??
What solid B teams have they beat?? I think a game vs Igloo or TG, 2 of the best A teams in 23 would have been an eye opener, but I still think that game 1 vs Jesters will be their toughest matchup of the summer??
Realistically how many can Empire win this weekend?? Jesters. Leg, Elevate and CT Griz... can they go 3-1 or 4-0 or is 2-2 a big victory???
I have never seen them play nor do I know anyone on the team. Safe to say they wont be undefeated after this weekend
Holy Crap you NY parents are a bunch of excuse making crybabies. Just because you are not better does not mean that world is not fair. Please explain this "holdback" and "14 year old" 2023 teams theory.

Based on location and competitive teams TG would probably be a good fit.

Please the age difference. 12 months, 9 months, 3 months? Every player in Maryland on a 23 team are 14 years of age? Every player in NY are 12 and new birthday 13? And if your YJ girls were just 2 or 3 months older then they could compete and win?

Yes Empire has had an excellent summer, and we have NOT lost a game yet. Yes we won all 4 tournaments we entered, and yes while 3 of them were very easy against low B teams, we played the schedule that was put forth for us. Our first tourney we won in early June had a few very good B teams.
Hofstra will be our first taste of possibly playing A caliber teams if we get a chance to play Igloo or TG in the finals. We will see how we do against some of the other local talent.... Empire Nassau Green 2023 is not by any means an elite team, nobody claimed that, but we are a very good team who could possibly be claim the #4 spot on Long Island after this weekend.
Good luck to all the girls....there def should be some great matchups!
[quote=Anonymous]The starting girls aren't leaving YJ for TG or Igloo as they played endlessly...to a fault perhaps...but still endlessly. No reason for them to go anywhere. It is those that are very good that should have played more that have reason to think about it. There are some that are best suited for a B team in any organization that will likely ask to go to YJ Wright to get a better experience. Only 2 have left YJA over last couple years...one to TG and one to Leg. One other went to TG and another to Leg after making YJA. As has been said by many, if you are not happy, there are other teams to go to. With 1 goal sperating these teams in "most" games, ...the other options are not that much better. They say that grass is greener on the other side. I've looked at the other side of grass and it is basically the same color. Once again...these verbal battles will be decided on the field. Igloo wins the Nationals and looked good. TG beat Igloo 4 out of 5. YJ wins Lax for Cure that included MD teams (regardless of bracket). None had a horrible season and none went undefeated. All will make for good games. Being on any of these 3 teams and add YJB to make the 4 top teams on the Island. The rest are...well...the rest.
Very generous ranking of the YJB as the 4th top team. I'm sure Leg, Jesters, Elevate and Liberty would all disagree.
YJ B is a better program and development of any of those above teams. They would have no prob beating Jes, Elev and Lib. Leg would be a good match.
So Top Guns gave Empire and Jesters an easier path then their own team because the directors said "Please". Got it.

I hear what you’re saying. My two cents is this: YJ and TG are not the place for your daughter this year. It will be virtually impossible for her to make the A team at thoses clubs unless she absolutely lites it up at the tryout. The B teams at both of those club get a lot of complaints and they rarely move girls up at this age. One of the reasons I started traveling early with my daughter is because I was aware of this. If I were you, I would have her try out for all the big clubs just to see where she stands and how she likes the girls. Some of them can be very clicky, entitled and snobby. You might realistically go with Legacy, or Jesters. Igloo is a great team too, but they can’t get into the big tournaments, which is a problem as recruiting age is starting.She should be on a team where you won’t just be making a donation, and she gets decent playing time. My daughter plays on one of the top clubs and there is a lot of pressure there. Your life must revolve around lax, and it’s easy to get in over your head. Good luck!
So Top Guns gave Empire and Jesters an easier path then their own team because the directors said "Please". Got it.
Money talks....SS rather approve the request and get the fee then pissss off a program and lose them down the road. Both those programs have teams entered in a few ages.... $$$ talks. So yes I do think they will accomodate requests

If only they were 2-3 months older they could dominate. Instead, you pretend they are just pewny and weak. Just think of the campfire stories you will be able to tell while at nationals. How they ventured off the island into the land of giants and almost won. So brave.

As an M&D parent, I would say that the MD girls that play lacrosse and are good at it, are bigger and more athletic, it’s really not that they’re older. When we play TG and YJ , there’s just not the depth. There are a few girls on those teams that are probably better than our girls individualy, but the teams are just not complete, which is why they can’t finish the games. Credit to TG, the first team to beat us. And they did it solid, was not a close game. Will be a great rivalry moving forward.
A lot of talk about Empire Nassau, aren’t they only a 2nd year team? Who coaches them because they get a lot of chatter for being relatively new on the club scene. Would be nice if YJ thorn called up SS and got in tourney this weekend, but CR would never do it. Appears the igloo/TG black game in pool play will be the championship based on these message boards, but would be interesting if someone could knock one of them,, would be good for LI lax!

Does YJ still do that dumb tournament at Mitchel Field where the YJ teams play each other? Or did it get too embarrassing when B teams beat “A” teams?
I see Bethesda listed in the 2023 AA Division at the NLF tournament this weekend at Lehigh U, but I have heard from numerous parents that they are not going because their season is over.
Is the NLF aware of this, because it will not be good /fair for our team to come play only 1 game because the NLF was not on top of this.

2-2 and that's without playing igloo or tg

TG not going to Nationals is the word on the street
That is correct, TG is not going to Nationals because they have to many hold backs. LMAO
TG not going to Nationals is the word on the street
They must have a bunch of holdbacks on the team or Nationals are not that as much of an indicator as YJs believe.
TG not going to Nationals is the word on the street
Good for them
TG not going to Nationals is the word on the street
Are Top Guns not going at all age groups or just 2023 ?

You obviously haven't watched YJB play. They struggled against lousy teams this summer. Jesters would beat them by at least 5 goals. The days of YJ fielding a competitive B team are over.
Happy for the bid but was not a tournament listed for TG to do. Would have been an add on tourney and people had other plans. TG is a legit 2023 team, no hold backs lol.
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The starting girls aren't leaving YJ for TG or Igloo as they played endlessly...to a fault perhaps...but still endlessly. No reason for them to go anywhere. It is those that are very good that should have played more that have reason to think about it. There are some that are best suited for a B team in any organization that will likely ask to go to YJ Wright to get a better experience. Only 2 have left YJA over last couple years...one to TG and one to Leg. One other went to TG and another to Leg after making YJA. As has been said by many, if you are not happy, there are other teams to go to. With 1 goal sperating these teams in "most" games, ...the other options are not that much better. They say that grass is greener on the other side. I've looked at the other side of grass and it is basically the same color. Once again...these verbal battles will be decided on the field. Igloo wins the Nationals and looked good. TG beat Igloo 4 out of 5. YJ wins Lax for Cure that included MD teams (regardless of bracket). None had a horrible season and none went undefeated. All will make for good games. Being on any of these 3 teams and add YJB to make the 4 top teams on the Island. The rest are...well...the rest.
Very generous ranking of the YJB as the 4th top team. I'm sure Leg, Jesters, Elevate and Liberty would all disagree.
YJ B is a better program and development of any of those above teams. They would have no prob beating Jes, Elev and Lib. Leg would be a good match.

YJ B is a mediocre team which will never be competitive with the big clubs. YJ B does NOT develop the girls, it’s more like a very expensive PAL team. All of the best girls left that program knowing that the team is not going anywhere. Even their top team has many issues. If you want to be frustrated Year after year, then that team will give you that. Not saying any of the other teams B teams would be any better. Getting onto Legacy, Igloo, Jesters Liberty or Empire would be a much better move. A lot of people go with the YJ name thinking they’re getting into a great organization, however the smoke and mirrors wear off pretty quick, and you realize it’s not what you thought it would be.

YJ A ‘s are by far best teams (scratch 2023) . Some of the B teamers can go play on other clubs A teams, not all. But many hang in hoping for a shot at getting pulled up, which happens for 1-2 kids per year. But careful what you wish for, it is a lot easier getting playing time and being a stud on the B team, and many kids are much better off shining there rather than struggling on A.

Yes, but we are talking about 2023 here. TG and Igloo have both surpassed YJA. From what is said about YJA coaching on there, I'm not sure why anyone would want to be brought up from B to A to play on a team that is 3rd best on LI doesn't make sense. If you can get onto another A team (besides TG&Igloo, which even the current YJA girls would have a tough time doing unless they are one of the top 5 players) seems like it would be a better idea for this age group.
This site is boring. Why all the jealousy and name calling? Not everyone can be the best team. Who cares? Good luck to TG in their home tourny. Excellent club with top director and spotless reputation. YJ- another excellent club with long time director and countless players going on to top schools. Igloo- don’t know too much other tan they are very $$$$ and the 2023 team is blowing everyone away. Empire- havent been tested against the next level. Maybe this weekend but the parents very happy. Jesters- longs time director of many boys programs and a top recruiting director with MHS varsity coach taking a role. They haven’t beaten the top teams but they have played them and are in the mix. Legacy- same as empire. Haven’tbeen there yet. We’ll see tomorrow. What happened to liberty? Have they been anywhere this year? All the same excellent reputation and Family’s love their club. Now let’s all band together for these Long Island girls and see what they can do against our neighbors from Maryland pa New Jersey and Connecticut at Nationals.

I am not here to argue that Igloo and TG Black aren't 1A and 1B in the 2023 group, but Thorn is right there with them. Thorn feels the heat because at every other year YJ Blue is the #1 team on the island, but here in 23 they take a back seat right now to Igloo and TG. That said YJ 23 has a great team and had a very good summer beat Monster Black 4 times, Elite Orange, Skywalkers, and many others and only falling to M&D Black by 2 and Igloo by 4 (couple other losses but to teams we beat 9 out of 10 times).
So as far as the 23 group locally on the island goes; there is the elite 3 Igloo, TG and Thorn, and then a HUGE drop off. Jesters might be 4, and they played Igloo this summer and it was 12-4 but could have been 18-4 if they wanted to....we were at that tourney and Jesters didnt belong on same field as Igloo. We will get another shot at Igloo at the Nationals and dont be surprised if YJ supremacy creeps over to the 23's as well.

Let's NOT kid ourselves, but Hofstra will have some great games for some second tier bragging rights as Jesters and Empire battle, and Elevate tries to avoid going 0 for 4, and the Grizzlies won lax by the sea this year, but at the end of the day NOBODY is beating Igloo or TG Black. That game Sunday is for the championship. TG and Igloo are 8+ goals better than Jesters, Legacy and Griz, and 10+ goals better than Elevate and Empire.

No rules against it.
After Hofstra we should know where the 2nd tier ranks among their peers..
This weekend could help teams going into TRYOUTS.....Empire or Elevate grabs a few quality wins and just may get a few extra good players at their tryout.
Pre-Hofstra its Jesters, Empire, Legacy, Elevate in that 2nd tier...see how it shakes up after. Also in that 2nd tier is the likes of liberty, yj wright.
The games tomorrow will have a big indication for what kids switch to what programs. The Igloo's, TG and Thorn should stay relatively the same; maybe get a couple players that are good enough to jump to one of those 3. The bottom 6-8 usually are one and done at TG due to lack of PT

I would stay away from Elevate. We have had a horrible two summers there. Last year was bad and we gave it another shot. This year was worse. The coaching is very weak and the tournaments they typically go to we don't play strong teams. BUT we do have t-shirts!

That said YJ 23 has a great team and had a very good summer beat Monster Black 4 times, Elite Orange, Skywalkers, and many others and only falling to M&D Black by 2 and Igloo by 4 (couple other losses but to teams we beat 9 out of 10 times).
So as far as the 23 group locally on the island goes; there is the elite 3 Igloo, TG and Thorn, and then a HUGE drop off. Jesters might be 4, and they played Igloo this summer and it was 12-4 but could have been 18-4 if they wanted to....we were at that tourney and Jesters didnt belong on same field as Igloo. We will get another shot at Igloo at the Nationals and dont be surprised if YJ supremacy creeps over to the 23's as well.
One win over Igloo and YJ will claim supremacy lol. YJ may add one more coach making it 5 coaches there they will be supreme. They'll out coach anyone. I'm sure some of those girls sitting on the YJ bench not playing in the competitive games will be looking elsewhere unless they continue to drink the CR kool aid.
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The starting girls aren't leaving YJ for TG or Igloo as they played endlessly...to a fault perhaps...but still endlessly. No reason for them to go anywhere. It is those that are very good that should have played more that have reason to think about it. There are some that are best suited for a B team in any organization that will likely ask to go to YJ Wright to get a better experience. Only 2 have left YJA over last couple years...one to TG and one to Leg. One other went to TG and another to Leg after making YJA. As has been said by many, if you are not happy, there are other teams to go to. With 1 goal sperating these teams in "most" games, ...the other options are not that much better. They say that grass is greener on the other side. I've looked at the other side of grass and it is basically the same color. Once again...these verbal battles will be decided on the field. Igloo wins the Nationals and looked good. TG beat Igloo 4 out of 5. YJ wins Lax for Cure that included MD teams (regardless of bracket). None had a horrible season and none went undefeated. All will make for good games. Being on any of these 3 teams and add YJB to make the 4 top teams on the Island. The rest are...well...the rest.
Very generous ranking of the YJB as the 4th top team. I'm sure Leg, Jesters, Elevate and Liberty would all disagree.
YJ B is a better program and development of any of those above teams. They would have no prob beating Jes, Elev and Lib. Leg would be a good match.
You obviously haven't watched YJB play. They struggled against lousy teams this summer. Jesters would beat them by at least 5 goals. The days of YJ fielding a competitive B team are over.
YJ B is a mediocre team which will never be competitive with the big clubs. YJ B does NOT develop the girls, it’s more like a very expensive PAL team. All of the best girls left that program knowing that the team is not going anywhere. Even their top team has many issues. If you want to be frustrated Year after year, then that team will give you that. Not saying any of the other teams B teams would be any better. Getting onto Legacy, Igloo, Jesters Liberty or Empire would be a much better move. A lot of people go with the YJ name thinking they’re getting into a great organization, however the smoke and mirrors wear off pretty quick, and you realize it’s not what you thought it would be.
YJ A ‘s are by far best teams (scratch 2023) . Some of the B teamers can go play on other clubs A teams, not all. But many hang in hoping for a shot at getting pulled up, which happens for 1-2 kids per year. But careful what you wish for, it is a lot easier getting playing time and being a stud on the B team, and many kids are much better off shining there rather than struggling on A.
Yes, but we are talking about 2023 here. TG and Igloo have both surpassed YJA. From what is said about YJA coaching on there, I'm not sure why anyone would want to be brought up from B to A to play on a team that is 3rd best on LI doesn't make sense. If you can get onto another A team (besides TG&Igloo, which even the current YJA girls would have a tough time doing unless they are one of the top 5 players) seems like it would be a better idea for this age group.

YJ 23 need to challenge themselves. Live, love lax and Lax for the Cure avoided the top bracket in both.

What? Even if Thorn does beat Igloo, which is not likely, they still have never beaten TG. They won’t even get the chance at playing TG until next summer, due to injury the fact that their director refuses to put them into the most competitive tournament on LI. At this point, even if they are able to beat one of those teams, they don’t take best team on LI, because they need to demonstrate consistency.
Rules very clear. No team can bring anyone that has not been on the roster and actively playing with the team for 12 months prior
This site is boring. Why all the jealousy and name calling? Not everyone can be the best team. Who cares? Good luck to TG in their home tourny. Excellent club with top director and spotless reputation. YJ- another excellent club with long time director and countless players going on to top schools. Igloo- don’t know too much other tan they are very $$$$ and the 2023 team is blowing everyone away. Empire- havent been tested against the next level. Maybe this weekend but the parents very happy. Jesters- longs time director of many boys programs and a top recruiting director with MHS varsity coach taking a role. They haven’t beaten the top teams but they have played them and are in the mix. Legacy- same as empire. Haven’tbeen there yet. We’ll see tomorrow. What happened to liberty? Have they been anywhere this year? All the same excellent reputation and Family’s love their club. Now let’s all band together for these Long Island girls and see what they can do against our neighbors from Maryland pa New Jersey and Connecticut at Nationals.
Awesome post! Agree!
Having seen all of the 2023’s play, including Legacy and Jesters the top 3 are the top 3. Next 3 are TJ Wright, Legacy and Jesters only if Jesters having a super coaches daughter top day. She’s very good. But 1 is none ( N{one}}. Igloo and TG have status over YJA because they are 1-9 this year and have produced better wins this year besides 2017 which was so long ago anyway. Other Franchises are well, other and don’t stack up. To the top 2-3 on those teams IMO YJB or Legacy are where you should go if you want meaningful Lax. Both have very good 12-14 ( YJB ) and 8 ( Legacy ) players. Issue is they get B- C players fast. They also lack A++ players, meaning those 1-2 Middies that are game controllers. Legacy has a solid Face-Off M and Wright has ZERO faceoffs Girls which from every game I’ve seen hurts them. Part of game and a huge part but if fixed they add horsepower fast. Biggest takeaway is if your happyand progressing then stay happy. However IMO this last year unless you Uber stud to crack those teams to get looks. Otherwise you a free agent at College camps / showcases unless you have a great High School program / Coach. Most top starters ( 5-8+ ) from good HS teams get to play in College if they want. Not saying top 25+ D1 of Top 5 D3 but they’ll get looks. For now LI carries weight. May change soon..
Legacy looked very good at the LI Classic. They tied Igloo. Igloo looked good at times, but completely fell apart in the championship game, where they were blown out by TG. I think we have a new LI pecking order:
TG
YJA
Igloo
Legacy
YJB
Jesters
Empire
Elevate

Lets NOT get crazy....... Igloo played their worst game of the summer after not playing for a month and tied Legacy out of the gates.
After that they crushed Elevate and handled CT Grizzlies by 5, and then in a full game they beat TG Black by 4.
The finals they were dominated at the drawer circle and by the time they actually got the ball the game it was 5-0 and the game was over. The middies on TG were just too good and too fast that game, but at the end of the day TG won the short game and Igloo won the full game. TG was the champ so they get the slight edge of Igloo, but dont try to throw Igloo to 3rd when that was the 1st game they lost all summer.
TG Black is 1A
Igloo is 1B
Thorn
Legacy
Empire beat Jesters so give them their due
Jesters
Elevate
Liberty Black
YJ B...... they have lost to B teams all summer if you look at their schedule. Not your Normal B team for CR////// this is a C type team
Hey buddy..... Legacy came in LAST place of the 7 teams in the group.
LAST!!! Yes they tied the first place team in game 1, but they still went winless and came in LAST!!
Your skewed rankings have them 4th but when the girls played on the field, the standings had them LAST! Sometimes the facts get in the way

there was a lot of great talent at Hofstra...except for TG and igloo most teams won and lost by one goal and others tied ...you will see a lot of movement again this year..the talk has already began....to some its not about the wins and loses but that their daughter is the star of the game
Igloo is a good team, but they don't play as a team. Once coaches adjust their D, then those select few become highly less effective, and the rest of the team can't pick up the slack. TG may have given them their first loss of the summer, but I feel that if Igloo was able to get into some more competitive tournaments this Summer, they would have a few more losses on the record. I'd look forward to seeing Igloo in MD next season. With that said, I wish them luck @ Nationals.

My daughter plays for TG, and I thought Legacy has improved quite a bit. I would put-them ahead of YJB, Their losses were close, to good teams. Grizzlies is a VERY talented team that you don't see that often at the competitive tournaments. They are similar to Monsters. Those girls come from traditional Lax powerhouses in Conn. As for Igloo, I agree that they do't play together as a team, The "stars" were ball hogs, and just too slow to keep up with TG. That said, we all know that any of the top teams can have a bad game, where thing are just not going your way, and go from bad to worse. It has happened to TG, YJA and Igloo, those three team could exchange wins/losses any given day.

Igloo can't get into the Maryland tournaments its a 2 team club. They are too small and need to merge with a larger club for recruiting purposes.

Your first sentence is 100% correct and it will affect the team at Nationals.

Igloo will be merging with another big club soon.....keep tuned in.
This ranking and these comments are nails on. YJA did beat Igloo at Farmingdale a few years back so “never” is a tiny exaggeration but in this modern era of the last 2 years they are 0-2. Therefore, until Beaten, I agree with them as 3rd and all the others. Legacy did also tie Empire but with 1 goal loss ro Jesters did put them in Last and where they end your ranking ahead of YJB.

0-2?? Igloo beat YJA 2x this year and 2x last year
Nationals looks like a poor showing with mediocre teams. They clearly did not reach their 16 team per division money grab they were going for...2024 only has 5 teams with 2 of them being YJ. The tournament looks more like a YJ club picnic then a lacrosse tournament, 30 percent of the teams in the tournament are YJ.
The schedule was released, then removed, brackets switched around to most likely help the NXT team as they switched to the B bracket....total joke.
Except no one has been on the team 12 months because the try outs are in the fall/winter...lol

That is the problem playing for a club like igloo, even if they were the absolute best team in the country (and your not), the college coaches have no idea, never even heard of igloo. Yes a few kids may eventually get recruited to decent schools, but the bottom 3/4 of the team will never get a benefit of the doubt that much more established clubs will get. Just the way it is.
No, only played them 1sr game of the season this year and at Nationals last year

This is a serious question. When did Igloo beat yja twice this year ? it happened once in Pennsylvania in the first tournament this year and having trouble figuring out the second time ? Prior to last year YJA beat igloo twice in one tournament. Igloo beat YJA twice at Nationals last year . Apparently YJA is allergic to line changes and igloo knows it.

Igloo is better than YJA. Beat them down already this summer and are ready to do it again. YJA can’t get out of their own way and we’re not worried about it.

You can be sure Thorn and her minion daddy coaches will make adjustments for the next show down with Igloo.

What a ridiculous statement. Remember if you are really that good they dont care if you play for Igloo or TG or F$G for that matter; they will find you.
Igloo has a few kids on their team that started for power conf varsity teams; u think college coaches care what club they are donating their $$$ to.........absolutely not. In 7th grade the kids should be playing and having fun, and working on their skills and when the tourneys are done like they mostly are, then go grab a soccer ball or volleyball and have some fun. Be an athlete, change it up, and most of all, have some fun....if you are good which alot of kids are on long island are whether they suit up for the YJ's or the Bandits they will find you, and guess what, those 4 college years will FLY bye.....so relax and go out and have some yep you got it....... FUN.

This site is boring. Why all the jealousy and name calling? Not everyone can be the best team. Who cares? Good luck to TG in their home tourny. Excellent club with top director and spotless reputation. YJ- another excellent club with long time director and countless players going on to top schools. Igloo- don’t know too much other tan they are very $$$$ and the 2023 team is blowing everyone away. Empire- havent been tested against the next level. Maybe this weekend but the parents very happy. Jesters- longs time director of many boys programs and a top recruiting director with MHS varsity coach taking a role. They haven’t beaten the top teams but they have played them and are in the mix. Legacy- same as empire. Haven’tbeen there yet. We’ll see tomorrow. What happened to liberty? Have they been anywhere this year? All the same excellent reputation and Family’s love their club. Now let’s all band together for these Long Island girls and see what they can do against our neighbors from Maryland pa New Jersey and Connecticut at Nationals.
Awesome post! Agree!
Top director and spotless reputation? LOL
Check the yellow jacket thread, SS was almost thrown out of a tournament for verbally abusing her own players

Have the referee's ever had to get the tournament director at halftime of a game because they were shocked by the behavior of a club/college coach? That's your TG director!

As you start to look at clubs for next year, make sure you know what is and is not included. We got burned paying for A LOT of practices at Elevate this year. IN addition to paying for winter practices, we had to pay for several outdoor spring practices. At $40 per practice at a field the club owner barely pays for if at all at Trinity HS, each kid was paying $40 per practice. So this issue with this on top of the $$$ is that not all the parents want to dish out $40 for practices in April and early May and that means you aren't practicing with your entire team as you go into travel season. Regardless of the club, just be aware of what you are getting when you sign up. Elevate was clearly NOT up front regarding all costs involved with their club. There was also a lot of discrepancy as far as how much each team practiced.
The US Lacrosse Nationals 2018 schedule is back up on Tourney Machine;
U12 (2024) has 1 pool, with a total of 5 teams, two of them being YJ
U13 (2023) has 2 pools, with a total of 10 teams, two of them being YJ (a YJ team in each pool)
U14 (2022) has 1 pool, with a total of 9 teams, three of them being YJ
This tournament has gone downhill fast these past two years.
Does anyone know anything about "Garden City Tradition" Travel team at this age group vs the Medusa Club? Just looking to stay local. And I have to say, it's pretty silly to have 2 clubs in such a small town. why not merge?
That can not be... YJ dad said this event is the TRUE indicator of the best team in the world. All the other teams that are not going are hold back cheaters and are afraid to attend without their high school aged girls.
GC tradition is a town team only. Medusa is open to players from any town. Therefore, they can't merge.
If you are a GC resident, tryout for the GC Tradition.

Sooo......people are shelling out big$$ to travel to Delaware to find out who is the best YJ team? You can’t make this stuff up. What amazes me is how parents buy into this. The girls side is starting to become as bad as the boys, with a “National” tournament every weekend. Do people actually believe this stuff? A quality tournament is one where the best teams in the age group are in attendance. Problem is, this National tournament does not have any of the best teams there. It has also seemed to get worse and worse every year. For those who still want to play lacrosse, Lake Placid would be a much better idea this time of year, because it’s about having fun with family and the lacrosse is much more low key. So, YJs, please pipe down about your fake Championship. Nobody cares. Let us know when you beat M&D, Heros, or TG, then we’ll be impressed.
Don't know if that true or not, but the reason a lot of teams don't go to this event is in fact the because they age out and don't meet the age rules according to US Lacrosse and you are now not allowed to pull up kids from some of the younger teams unless they participated with the attending team in more than 1 tournament. What they probably meant was that from an birth year perspective, it is a good indicator of where you stand with kids that are actually the "same age". Just an aside.... If you had a problem with the dads statement , why didn't you say something instead of calling him out on a blog ? Sounds like you are a disgruntled YJ parent if you are hanging with YJ people .
I am very surprised how few teams are going to the National Lacrosse tournament next weekend. It can't all be about the age rules. US Lacrosse has to either fix this tournament or eliminate it.

You're right and you're wrong.. this current edition of the US lacrosse National Championship is pitiful, a joke and a waste of time and Money. where you're wrong is that your club should be here, you should want to be here. this should be the pinnacle of the lacrosse season. its a US Lacrosse Event ( US Lacrosse makes the rules we all play by, try's to grow the game inside and outside the US and provides the insurance at events and many other benefits to our kids )
I would like to see the top teams meet and slug it out for the title..take a look at the US lacrosse website and see all the teams that qualified... i don't get why nobody wants to play in it.
Teams are choosing to skip Nationals because the competition is just not there anymore. There is no recruiting going on. Igloo 2023 will go because they want to defend a title (I guess I understand that). YJ will go because they convinced the parents that it actually means something (what it actually means is $$$ from parents in the YJ Bank Account). Just look at the low turnout of teams this year. The US Lacrosse goal was to take the top 16 qualifying teams in each age group. The most they have for on e age group is 10. So many teams were invited to participate, but declined. Let's be clear, it's not just the teams with major travel issues/expenses that are declining. Several of those declining teams are from MD, NJ, DE, NY, PA.
To the person who posted earlier, it's not an player "age out" thing for some teams. In fact a few of the clubs last year were guilty of "tweaking" their rosters, by bringing in guest players from their other teams. YJ was a big offender with their 2021 team. CR summoned a 2020 to play, that happened to fit the U14 age parameters set by US Lacrosse. CR wanted that publicity for her club when they won, and she got.
US Lacrosse ruined this tournament when they took away the U15 age group. They went for a money grab and added all of the younger ages and made them play modified checking. If they brought back the U15 and only had a U14 division it would be a much better tournament. As it is now it an expensive PAL tournament.
So says the TG parent. Last time I checked TG lost to M&D a couple of weeks ago in MD by 2 just like YJ did . A final which you would not have made if YJ didn't beat Monsters in the last game. Ungrateful lowlife. Your welcome . Both team were in the toughest division and YJ went 3-1 and TG want 4-0. What is wrong with you people . So nice to our face and cowards online. It was like you won the Superbowl last year when you beat YJ by 1 goal after a 7 Minute stall and now it's nothing tournament ? You people are so hypocritically transparent its ridiculous. butt clowns

CR summoned 1 2020, TG had several. Didn’t matter as YJ walked through all teams with or with out the 2020. The only time that this tactic ever worked was the one year Top Guns actually did win, it was Sam Apuzzo playing a year down. But not really she, just like every other player who has ever done it, was age eligible to participate, and made the difference in a one goal game. Tournament is becoming less popular every year, you ask teams to come from all across the country to get their butt kicked, probably worse then they have ever had before, eventually those teams stop coming. Used to be a much better tournament when it was a 1 age group event, expanding to multiple age groups has also killed this thing. My older kids it was one year and done, and everyone looked forward to it, now we dread this thing as it plays out for multiple years.

US Lacrosse is a useless organization that does nothing for the sport. They pretty much waste all the money that they charge in memberships and fees on airfare, meals, and luxury hotels for the US team members, not to mention the unnecessary building they financed. They act like they are trying to "grow the game" but can't even enforce an based system with ID cards like all the other sports do (ie, Soccer, Volleyball). Shame on them, don't ask me to participate in their events, or for a dime!
TG, Having placed 3rd in last years Nationals ahead of YJ by 1 goal after 7 minutes of stall ball, decided they were not going back when they put out their schedule in the beginning of the year...not knowing who would or would not qualify or go. YJ played in the top division in 5 US lacrosse sanctioned tournaments and faired very well. Some tough losses, but none to TG. We Were looking forward to a game from a year ago but our paths did not cross.. We’ll play Igloo that you just went 1-1 with. We’ve beaten Hero’s & Skywalkers so you, as you said, are certainly Impressed.
Talking nonsense now about money grabs...there is no $$$$ grab to CR & YJ for us to go to The Nationals as it was included in our tiny $695 all inclusive tournament fees in January. Our $695 additional YJ fee has to be amoung the lowest out there as well. This year we all put in $200 more for extra field time. There—$1,600 all in! No more no less. The only ones making extra money from the parents wallets are the hotels, restaurants, gas & tolls. Your little man, made up gibberish is mentally insulting. Maybe we’ll see you next summer. You’re season is over.

YJs stink and showed it this year. Don’t drag TG into your obvious downturn. TH opted out because it’s a bad tournament, with no checking and less competition than we would get on LI. Our season ended with a championship over team who has beat you badly. We’re out in Montauk now enjoying time with family and friends. Stop obsessing over 12 year old lacrosse and get a life!
Kids of same age should be playing kids the same age. US Lacrosse rules are the way it should be. Apples to apples. No hold backs ..no nonsense. Every tournament should play under those rules. It's getting nuts.
TG opted out because they didn't have enough starters available for the tournament. I was personally told by a TG dad.. Essentially they were short players. Just curious who the better competition is on LI ? ....ITS YJ AND IGLOO who will be at the tournament you stunad.. BTW Last time you played YJ you lost (winter league) also lost 2 games at Hofstra (Fall Ball). Your stupidity explains why you are spending your summer vacation 1 hour from your house instead of fighting for the title you coveted so bad last year at Nationals and the girls are 13 now (U14). Enjoy the Gig Shack.

You do realize that winter league and fall ball don’t count and are made of mixed teams? The fact that you would even bring that up sows how desperate you are. We already beat both YJ and Igloo, who beat you. We don’t need to waste our time at a sub par tournament to do it again. Time to enjoy the summer! Have fun and playing your B team in Delaware, and watch out, they may beat you again.

Bringing up a mixed winter league team and 7v7 fall tournaments where you obviously don't know how to keep score. Stop hanging onto the dream your daughter should be playing Legacy with her high school coach.

YJ played in the top division in 5 US lax tournaments really?
Live, love lax had M&d, Hero's , TG black you were in the 2nd division
Lake George was a joke tournament.
You lost 8-3 to Hero's Green at Lax for the cure. Now please tell us when you beat them this year at what tournament. You also lost by 4 goals to Skywalkers TG never lost to them.
Good luck to your girls that have to deal with your abusive coach and daddy assistant coaches at

Why are you YJ parents so obsessed with TG and what we are doing? Just accept the fact you are currently the 3rd ranked team on the Island and try to improve. Your tournament season was average at best with no wins over teams that matter, I guess you can hold on to your Monster victories for this summer. I heard Lake George was euphoria and YJ was back on top of the mountain, hahahaha. As far as fall and winter ball, a little revisionist history but when your grasping at 7v7 straws you have to hold onto something. No need to go to Delaware to play Igloo and YJ when we can do that at Hofstra if YJ ever decided to show up. CR controls the scheduling for most tournaments, she had plenty of opportunities to match YJ and TG up this summer and she decided not to go that route. At least you didn't have to go to Mitchell field and play yourselves this year...lol.
YJ has NEVER beaten TG. That being said, YJ has some very good players. I believe it comes down to the coaching.

OMG
One or two of you are just angry little men compensating for who knows what and some are just defending because they know a version of the truth. These posts are oddly entertaining but so clearly written by some we just shake our heads at when we see you on the sidelines. We will enjoy watching our daughters play in DE. We'll also shell out the money for traveling because we know what we signed up for and all our players want to be there. They've come a long way and we're pretty proud of this team because they've become a team along with the families.
Maybe there should just be a forum YJ vs TG and you can alll argue there. God forbid anyone wants any actual information not related to these two teams and their parents comparing “ sizes.”

Your stupidity explains why you are spending your summer vacation 1 hour from your house instead of fighting for the title you coveted so bad last year at Nationals and the girls are 13 now (U14). Enjoy the Gig Shack.
Stunad YJ could of went to Hofstra last weekend if they wanted to play TG and Igloo instead they prefer to travel to Delaware to play Igloo and spend a lot of money on hotels and travel costs? Who's really the Stunad? Fear the bee. Lol
at the end of the day when this age group starts committing YJ and Liberty will have the last laugh, college coaches are tiring of the Smiths and SS has an obvious conflict of interest, unless playing at Hofstra is your dream you better be prepared to do ALL your own recruiting
Liberty I guess you don't know her story dismissed from Manhasset after winning the states in varsity for good reason. I'm sure college coaches know. 9vedhz
GC tradition is a town team only. Medusa is open to players from any town. Therefore, they can't merge.
If you are a GC resident, tryout for the GC Tradition.
If you plan on playing in college play for Liberty, especially if you're interested in top academic schools
thanks! i did notice they have many girls going to great schools

Liberty is not a competitive club. They have C level players who should not be playing college lacrosse. There’s a reason you never see them at any tournaments where there are good teams. They would be beat down badly.

GC tradition is a town team only. Medusa is open to players from any town. Therefore, they can't merge.
If you are a GC resident, tryout for the GC Tradition.

thanks! i did notice they have many girls going to great schools
Are they going to "great" schools because of lacrosse or because their parents can easily afford the tuition of "great" schools regardless of lacrosse?
I assume you meant show and not sow. but since you're low IQ I'll let it slide. If YJ wins this tournament you can do with the fact that they are national champs. You will simply be that guy in the background saying you could have done this or you could have done that.. But you didn't. TG lost to some very mediocre teams this season. Fall and winter were the most recent and relevant games. They are not relavant to you because you lost. It's sad to think that you are still living in Circa July 2017 and your third place victory. We will enjoy it. We shouldn't do that bad afterall we're taking down the team that beat you guys in the fall and winter and since your team is the best team in the Galaxy, we should do okay. Your kids only have one more year at this tournament and you'd figure that it would have been a good idea to take them. Instead of pounding your chest and saying how great you are you
instead of actually showing it. Actions speak louder than words. You decided not to come... so keep your mouth shut and enjoy Wildwood Crest. It's a shame because we actually have respect for the TG squad but your YJ derangement syndrome won't allow the same from you .
Big offender for 1 team ? Nobody else was doing it ? According the people that run the tournament, it was happening with more than one team moving kids around and hence the rule change this year . Kids do "timeout" and the reason why Maryland teams don't come and they start school a little sooner. It's not a YJ thing. It's mostly a every team thing . If US lax changes the rule to bith year we will be good and more people will go.

What does that mean? They are committing to and going to great schools. Money doesn’t get you recruited to play unless your making BIG donations to programs.

Basically your saying that you stink, since TG has beaten TJ EVERY time they played. And, you really want to bring up losing to mediocre teams? TG had a great year, beating some very good teams, also taking some losses that helped them grow .US lacrosse is a mediocre tournament do to the teams that are participating, Fact. It is not a National championship just because they call it that. I would think you would be smart enough to figure that out, but I guess we can now see who really has the low IQ. Yes, we will be having fun on the beach, one thing we can agree on!

I think the point was many great lacrosse players have the ability to play at top academic schools but cannot afford the cost on a 1/4 scholarship.

Not the ones in the 2023 age group!! Now you try again!
If your daughter is going to school to get a degree in lax or wants to pay at Hofstra it might matter, other than that nobody cares, college coaches don't know or care who wins any of the games they're watching or tournaments they're at, most only watch half a game and then move onto the next one. You can believe whatever you want to, but the fact is Liberty had as many coaches if not more at every 2020 and 2021 game this summer and that is about DG as much as the players, all her kids will get looks from the schools they're interested in. BTW if you haven't heard anything from a college by Sept. 1 you're way behind the curve - plenty of club coaches get indications of players that colleges are interested in and are invited to camps, but SS won't tell you when colleges coaches ask about a player if she wants you to play at Hofstra, one other thing they ask about and watch the parents much more than you think
Does anyone know when the crabs 2023 tryouts are... rumor is the team is set and invites have gone out. Is that true?

You can believe whatever you want to, but the fact is Liberty had as many coaches if not more at every 2020 and 2021 game this summer and that is about DG as much as the players, all her kids will get looks from the schools they're interested in. BTW if you haven't heard anything from a college by Sept. 1 you're way behind the curve - plenty of club coaches get indications of players that colleges are interested in and are invited to camps, but SS won't tell you when colleges coaches ask about a player if she wants you to play at Hofstra, one other thing they ask about and watch the parents much more than you think
Where has Liberty been hiding all summer I didn't realize they had a 2023 team? You don't get better avoiding competition DG should know that.
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TG opted out because they didn't have enough starters available for the tournament. I was personally told by a TG dad.. Essentially they were short players. Just curious who the better competition is on LI ? ....ITS YJ AND IGLOO who will be at the tournament you stunad.. BTW Last time you played YJ you lost (winter league) also lost 2 games at Hofstra (Fall Ball). Your stupidity explains why you are spending your summer vacation 1 hour from your house instead of fighting for the title you coveted so bad last year at Nationals and the girls are 13 now (U14). Enjoy the Gig Shack.
Stunad YJ could of went to Hofstra last weekend if they wanted to play TG and Igloo instead they prefer to travel to Delaware to play Igloo and spend a lot of money on hotels and travel costs? Who's really the Stunad? Fear the bee. Lol
at the end of the day when this age group starts committing YJ and Liberty will have the last laugh, college coaches are tiring of the Smiths and SS has an obvious conflict of interest, unless playing at Hofstra is your dream you better be prepared to do ALL your own recruiting
Liberty I guess you don't know her story dismissed from Manhasset after winning the states in varsity for good reason. I'm sure college coaches know. 9vedhz
Liberty is not a competitive club. They have C level players who should not be playing college lacrosse. There’s a reason you never see them at any tournaments where there are good teams. They would be beat down badly.

College coaches will not be watching Liberty 2023. They are terrible and would be double downed by YJ, TG, Igloo and probably even Legacy. Please stop acting like college coaches will be lining their sidelines, hek,they don’t even go to top tournaments. The best girls from GC and that vicinity know this and are on YJ, Igloo and TG already. You are really embarrassing yourself acting like they should even be in the conversation as a being a competitive club. As for TG recruitment, the talented Lacrosse players, who also have the grades, will have their choice. My friends daughter who is a TG player, is headed to Princeton next year. If you look at their older commits(coaches can’t talk to 2023s) you’ll see that girls go to a variety of schools which best suit them.Their Teewaraton winner and assistant coach for the 2023s is at BC. If you’re not aware, the 2023 TG group is their top team and will have no trouble come recruiting time, nor will YJ or Igloo. All three of those teams have some real studs. Liberty?? Unless daddy warbucks is making a big donation, not looking good. You really should concentrate on getting Your outfit picked out for the club, it will be cocktail hour soon, so you have a few, and make up some more funny stories.
GC tradition is a town team only. Medusa is open to players from any town. Therefore, they can't merge.
If you are a GC resident, tryout for the GC Tradition.
If you plan on playing in college play for Liberty, especially if you're interested in top academic schools
thanks! i did notice they have many girls going to great schools
Are they going to "great" schools because of lacrosse or because their parents can easily afford the tuition of "great" schools regardless of lacrosse?
What does that mean? They are committing to and going to great schools. Money doesn’t get you recruited to play unless your making BIG donations to programs.
I think the point was many great lacrosse players have the ability to play at top academic schools but cannot afford the cost on a 1/4 scholarship.
Not the original poster, but I thought their point was that if your parents can afford the tuition (and you have the grades), anybody can go to any school regardless of sports. Just because a scholastic athlete is going to a certain school, doesn't mean they were recruited there or are receiving scholarship money. They could be planning to walk on or not even play - but it looks good on the club's website. (This is a general statement, not directed at Liberty.)
Who the heck is TJ.. You can't even get two letters right. It's YJ talk about IQ. At any rate, all the tournaments are set at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the year TG was going to Nationals. You backed out. Rumors were only confirmed after the Hofstra tournament. If it was so bad why did you go last year ? You may have done pretty good. After all TLC Red ( 2 loses) and monsters aren't going. At the end of the day a Long Island team will win it and it won't be you.
