Very true, can't begin to measure up with your coaches from dowling, molly, adelphi, etc -

How about a coach that waddles up and down the sidelines spitting tobacco into a water bottle. Class act you got there.

Depends, if they have kids from multiple 3 or more they should play travel but in my opinion if you have neighboring programs that do not have enough kids to play on their own , I have no problem with it .Also if a kid or 2 are on the team from another town who do not have a team in , no big deal.

Not only are the comments going back and forth an embarrassment for both clubs, it is embarrassing for long island lacrosse. grow up.

where is the shamrock schedule??

As an YJ parent I have to say that I’m disappointed. I was told two weeks ago that it was too late to sign my daughter up for the Shamrock Shootout this weekend. It was explained to me that since it was a makeup tournament, the rosters were set. I just received an email from a fellow YJ parent informing me that two girls were just added to the team in my daughters age group. This is totally unfair and shows what previous posters have said about favoritism towards certain groups.

If you pay attention, you see the two girls father is coaching. Just an observation.

Looks like CR took the car keys away from coach carro and now has PM driving the bus?

Looks like another ignorant post , they have coached together before and I am sure coach Carro will have no problem having the input of another experienced coach.Once again a lot of bang for your buck when at the 2019 age group you get 2 very experienced coaches.

Stupid post and comment Coach Carro has full control of his team!! Wishful thinking but completely false

It's absolutely embarrassing that CR would do something like this. I really feel for the YJ parents as they all back pedal and squirm when asked why this is going on. They don’t want to face town teams of their own age and yet there is nothing they can do. I’m sure the YJ coaches are even embarrassed by these actions, but are forced to try to explain that they are “mixed teams.” Please!!! CR you have a great program that was built on always playing the best teams out there and now to watch you make maneuver after maneuver to avoid those same teams is painful. Shows a major kink in the armor!

Hey TG parents explain to me how of the only two pure TG teams that I saw entered in the Shamrock tournament 1 played in the B division and the other played in the 7th grade division and had 7th graders on it. Where is the outrage ,you guys are full of bs if you don't call your coaches out on this if you were so outraged when YJ was placed in age appropriate divisions by accident.PATHETIC

Congrats to YJ Shamrock Champions!!

YJ 17 Bert Champs
YJ 18 Rose Finalists

OK I will bite.......First of all TG did not have any teams entered into the Shamrock Shootout. There were several teams with parts of TG teams entered (with some YJ players on them as well) by daddy coaches just looking to get the girls to play some extra games. The team that played in the 7th grade division played in the correct division according to the rules 7th grade A division is for 7th grade travel clubs. The B divisions are for Town teams and travel teams that play up so a 6th grade travel team would be required to play up in the 7th grade B division no higher.

I did watch a 5th grade town team play a very talented YJ team it was in the 5th grade B division. The YJ team I believe was a 4th grade team playing where they belonged in the 5th grade B division and they lost by a goal. This is how the tournament should be. Town teams get to play against stronger travel teams (which are all star teams) that are one year younger.If the travel teams choose to play in higher bracket that is there choice.


There aren't any coaches to call out because TG is never involved in off season tournaments. YJ from my experiences against them (last year) had YJ teams play up 2 years because there wasn't as many teams playing for A & B brackets. It appears that this year YJ entered and were placed in age appropriate levels and the tournament directors corrected the mistake .

Choices then had to be made as to what divisions they were supposed to play in....I am sure some of the YJ teams had to move to the A division and some requested to be moved. Due to the number of teams registered in each division I am sure in some instances there really wasn't many options.

As this tournament grows as it has for the last couple of years the divisions will be balanced with town teams only playing up against travel clubs by choice. Travel teams will go head to head with other travel teams in the correct grade levels.

I think it’s sad that a team of 6th grade travel kids (YJ and TG) were entered in the 6th grade A division when they should have played up a level like all other travel teams. On top of that, the coaches were a bunch of cry babies that complained about every call against them. They were so bad that the parents of one of the YJ players were apologizing to everyone about their coaches embarrassing behavior. I hope you’re proud of yourselves.

Your right, PM will gradually start to take over this team and gain full control after next year when his 2015 team is done. He's a better coach than Carro, so Im sure those parents don't mind

If this is true, which I have a funny feeling is, when do they plan on telling the team?

Must be talking about the Lady Rebels.

I don't think so. It was Centereach.

I think the top one must be a joke. They are definitely talking about Middle Country.

Its only one person who complained and I think they are misinformed. That being said the kids behavior on your team was an embarassment and I think you should reconsider the example your coaches set laughing at it.On a different note congrats to the rebels a true 5th grade team who played in 6th grade division ,I know for a fact that some of those rebels have some 6th grade sisters that play as rebels at times and the coaches of that team probably could have played them in the championship game if they were interested in winning the precious T-shirt but did not.Nice job coaches , thats the example of the correct attitude.

I thinks it is quite hilarious that when a YJ team does not do well its because someone else "cheated." The Middle Country 6th grade team that my daughter plays on is not a travel team and had only one guest player on it because two of our girls who play for Top Gun were sick and couldn't make it.

Clearly the girls were put in the right bracket because every game was tight and the Championship game went to over time. Not sure what you guys are complaining about. The game against the YJ's was a 5-5 tie for crying out loud. Put all the BS about coaches and referee's aside, it was a great game and I would think that's what we all want.

Who were Lights Out?
