Playing for ....

YJ is like driving for a Formula1 racing team

Liberty is like driving at Riverhead Raceway

Elevate is like racing a GoKart at ActionPark

People who post comments putting others down are most likely trying to reinvent their failures through their children and then you have wonder about their child's abilities because if their child can play his or her performance speaks for its' self. The parent does not have to say anything

You call it arrogance.


How about your Team Elevate 2017 Coach D.K. Talking about screaming idiots, how many yellow cards has he gotten!!!!!!LOSER LOL LOL

I call it stating the facts!

in my opinion people who post on here about their child's abilities (or the lack of ability in others) are more then likely lying especially when posting without a name. I have read back a few pages and to the parent who posted that her 2014 fourth team player was approached by coaches good for her...or you but really do you need to stir the pot about it. We all know college coaches can't recruit off campus until July 1 (lax for the cure was in June). Next your child is going into her senior year, is she desperately seeking a team to play on to satisfy her parents and their so called investment or is she choosing where she wants to go...more then likely she is settling. Get off your soap box if your kid is recruited at a younger age most of them are going to go where THEY want...going into senior year your settling for the leftovers!!! Oh and wait I thought even YJ on fourth teams were D1 material..is that sad reality finally becoming a distant thought!!! Let your kids play bc they love to play and stay out of trouble and make great memories...don't let them play bc you had dreams of being a college athlete and never could!!!

What about their behavior? Not sure what you are talking about so please enlighten us.

Not all; but some definatley embarressed Yj organization

Just a vague as your first assertion...

Yes, my dtr is now a senior. As I stated ORIGINALY she is NOT D1 material and has never had a desire to play lacrosse in College at a large D1 school...not for HER. That doesn't mean that she is not an academic scholar with dreams like all the other laxers. Two years ago, SHE had aspirations of where/what SHE wanted to do with her 3.6 GPA and above average lax skills (not D1 caliber). SHE went to camps and was recognized by Coaches who also have seen her play various times in the past 2 years. She will be going to college to pursue HER career choice and enjoy playing the game she loves. No desperation here...just real good planning. YES...with scholarship money on both ends, full ride? Of course not, but enough to def have made the whole YJ experience worth it. Club is just not about D1 and the money to all of us.... We all have not given birth to the "top ten recruits of the class". There has been many lifes lessons and growth gained by our YJ experience, some good, some bad...But in the end it was all worth the journey for HER and her parents.

BOTC has to agree that these assertions are without any evidence. If you want to provide addition detail, send the information to cagesage@backofthecage.com. Without added details, this discussion now ends before it starts. Any questions?

Any idea what the thinking was for CR and tracy to partner with Johns Hopkins coach to run a camp down there this year under prime time? She is listed as camp director. YJ south? Find it hard to believe they need a part time job like the rest of us.

cozying up to the Hopkins Coaches certainly doesn't hurt the YJ brand... and I'm from the other club.

D3 so no athletic money. List price is $62,000 per year and an average 2 part SAT score of 1440!!! This is a school where the lacrosse could HELP get you in where most wouldnt normally qualify

Lol- what is a Top Guns or Team 91 like?

Top Guns: Figure 8 Trailer racing
Team 91: High School Drivers Ed.

Hopkins is D1 for womens lacrosse

Hopkins is D1 for women's lacrosse and I think it's a great idea it gets CR closer to more of the college coaches for connections. These are the things that help the YJ girls get those top schools...

I hope ASE this weekend is better then last week.

Babylon blast was terrible. I think all the finals were YJ-1 vs YJ-2. Did any of the teams even put up a fight?

I heard they needed security in the 2020 Curcio vs Jones game. And the parents were just as crazy in the 2019 Carro vs Bert game. 2018 final was YJ vs YJ played in pouring rain so that kept parents quiet. 2017 final was YJ vs YJ and another blowout.

Can you say "waste of time"

Why didnt YJ send any teams to the grind , why do they send all teams in all divisions all to the same tourney just to play against each other, sounds like a waste of time and money

Maybe you should count your blessings that you didn't pay tolls or hotel fees or have to fight traffic and figure out the best crossing.
