[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you people serious, you have 150 kids doing a 2 hour tryout and you think they should get it exactly right.Why do you think you are a better judge of who should be on the top team or how the top team should be built.Maybe they are looking for size and speed , maybe stick skills , maybe a good mix of both, who knows.At this age it does not matter and if your kid is that good they will get moved up by the time recruiting age happens.There will always be a few kids on the second level team that could be interchanged with kids on the top team , just the way it is at every club.Go play and have fun and stop worrying.
Lets be perfectly honest 150 girls, all the girls returning from last year were graded and placed prior to the tryout. In a 2 hour tryout the only girls getting evaluated are the new girls. Some coaches are looking for stick skills ? I would think ALL coaches are looking for stick skills what good are size and speed if you don't have stick skills.
Cause I'll take the tall and fast girls over the girls that pass, catch, and don't drop the ball every time!! Lol!!
Thats funny!!! But unfortunately that is what they are doimg. To qoute an inside lacrosse article not verbatum but close "some of these athletic kids are playing checkers to a kid that may be a half step slower but playing chess". Seems to be what you are trying to imply. Truth be told you can no longer get away with hiding FAF because other teams have gotten stronger. TG at the younger age improved a whole lot with new additions plus the kid who may be one of top kids in country. "Good for her and long island". Point being if you do not improve your team the all star express outcome will become the norm. Before you say you won at nat draw you lost also to a team that all that happened to them was weaker kids did not play and maybe some better kids played more. Not sure on the latter part but probably what happened. Hope you figure it out. Good luck to you.......
You all need to get a clue, maybe the coach understands that you cannot teach size and speed but you can teach and develop stick skills much easier. You TG people really are sad , you won a game against some 10 year olds at a showcase tournament by a goal or two, congrats. Yj went on to beat a team at a national championship event that had just put a beating on your team, congrats. That same YJ team went on to loose to another YJ team in the finals, congrats to them. A week later the losing YJ team beat the winning YJ team in a very lopsided game, congrats to them.What does it all mean , it means they are 10 year olds who can play great one game then throw out a complete stinker the next , who cares.Every time a TG team at any age beats a YJ team in any event you losers are on here boasting about it, act like you expected to win and keep your mouths shut.
You can't teach heart either
Love that response. The very best kids on the field are the smart ones with field awareness and playing with heart and emotion. You see kids all skilled up, if they don't have heart they are invisible during the game. Big, fast strong kids are useless unless they have the brains, heart and skill.
