Teams that rely on 2-3 players to do majority of the work tend to struggle in playoff games. M&D is one of them, hence they have not won LTFC. Depth is key and you need to get multiple players to contribute. Like Reply Quote

That's very helpful! And you are right (I just double checked) - the 2024 (#70) and 2025 (#23) were not the highest ranked although I would say #23 is still very solid. I hope Jesters can produce strong commits in 2026, including strong lax and strong academic schools to fill the void of Liberty and Elevate. Those two clubs used to produce many Ivies and Ivies-like commits. Otherwise, I wonder where all the Manhasset and GC kids would go. Like Reply Quote

I think you will see an influx of kids to Tradition and Igloo. My opioion is that both put the extra effort into their teams and offer more attention to player growth. They will attract the kids who are tired of being in a small fish in giant pond. In terms of recruiting, the strongest kids will get recruited regardless of who they play for. A lot of recruiting is also done at college showcases. If you go to a prospect day and play well, they will come see you live. Fact. You just need to have coaches and directors who are paying attention to all kids, not just their top 5 that will make the best social media post. Like Reply Quote

Someone needs to teach M&D how to play shortened playoff games Isn’t that how you win any playoff game with 4-5 games in the same day? Score early and stall? Perhaps, but it's also how you destroy your ranking. Shortened playoff games have the same expected goal differential. In a typical playoff structure, the A bracket plays the B bracket (75% of the time). This typically puts the expected goal differential at about ten goals. That differential does not change just because it's a 20 minute game. Win by four goals, stall, celebrate on the GW Bridge. Get home and watch how your ranking/rating dropped. Like Reply Quote

I think you will see an influx of kids to Tradition and Igloo. My opioion is that both put the extra effort into their teams and offer more attention to player growth. They will attract the kids who are tired of being in a small fish in giant pond. In terms of recruiting, the strongest kids will get recruited regardless of who they play for. A lot of recruiting is also done at college showcases. If you go to a prospect day and play well, they will come see you live. Fact. You just need to have coaches and directors who are paying attention to all kids, not just their top 5 that will make the best social media post.[/ Igloo basically a year old with no recruiting results.Tradition a lot of outflow from the program to Top Guns, Jesters and YJ, not fielding at least one older team and also no recruiting results. Also both programs don’t attend most of the big recruiting tournaments. What’s the upside? parent coaching? Like Reply Quote

Agreed that the strongest kids will always get recruited but that's a very small number of kids and unfortunately most kids don't fall into this category. I think as in most things in life, it's not always so black and white. While being on a team of smaller roster size and playing most of every game is great, it doesn't not automatically translate to getting better if your team is weak and you play weak competition. Ideally you want great training, a small roster size, great team mates that are similar to your level and even preferably at top 1/2 of the team so you can continue to grow, clubs with decent track records, etc. but in reality when you look at the all club options and consider the proximity and any given year and team have different dynamics, you have very limited options and you may only hit a couple of the "ideals". Both my girls have switched teams more than once, we honestly are not "grass is always greener" and we have come to the conclusion, it's just about what you can tolerate and make it work...

Maryland teams have a massive advantage in strength of schedule over pretty much everyone else (with exception to a few big name programs - ES, Nxt, Aces etc). They play top teams just about every game. Its major component to rankings (NOT wins & loses) This can only be overcome by a high + Average Goal Differential. The good teams out there with weaker schedules will fall lower than expected/hoped for. This is why top 10 is composed of many Maryland teams in the early years & is hard to overcome without having a strong schedule. Also cause they are older & very good lol Like Reply Quote

Re: Girls 2030-6th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Team BOTC #429982 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I can tell you from experience, going to be lots of shakeups once these teams finish summer. Just not enough games played to really seperate these teams. Example, #8 Team One got 100 pts for beating some random Ohio team by 10. That Ohio team hasn't dropped down far enough, but once they do that 100 pt score will also drop them. Igloo, #10, best win (mathematically) was against YJ Mid Atlantic, who hasn't played anyone but got blowout wins against subpar teams. Once those subpar teams fall off, those wins become worth less.

You will notice a change in distributing playing time as the starters will play the whole time in “important” games. Most parent coaches teams will have their daughters as starters and this unequal playing time will continue during showcases. In front on college coaches the game parents will make sure their daughters are on display. Some coaches will only sub once the desired college coach leaves for another field. Like Reply Quote

At the youth level (especially below MS) its' really not realistic to have paid non-Dad coaches. Its not common to see an example of a team without 1. If it was realistic to have more paid coaches (there are not enough available) its likely your club dues would be substantially higher to maintain margins. Do you want to see that at the youth levels? Not many do. Having said we've all seen poor examples of Dad coaches. I myself try to be be as fair as I can on playing time and avoid biases. Many coaches do a great job though in this regard. Some unfortunately do not. Do your homework and try to avoid places with a reputation of these issues. If there is an opportunity to play somewhere where the coaches child is playing a different position as your son you should go that direction if that's so important to you and you are concerned. You are the consumer in the end and choose the best option for you based on what is available. And if you aren't comfortable with any option.... you don't have to play either. Like Reply Quote

There are entire programs without parent coaches. There are also entire programs with entirely paid female coaching staffs. I will say that often parent coaches are HARDER on their own kid.

Would also say, we see all the Long Island teams enough that we are considering withdrawing our A team from Queen of the island and sending our B team. Really no need for Queen of the island is we are playing most teams from Long Island. My prediction is that Queen of the island will fade Like Reply Quote

Especially now with the NGLL Like Reply Quote

Some of their divisions have over 20 teams. It would be great if they can do something similar for NY. Like Reply Quote

Also saw a few Connecticut parents at Long Island NGLL event this weekend helping run the event. can easily see this turn into a much more ongoing and consistent league during the year.. just like youth soccer. Those weekend summer tournaments in the blazing heat are not it. Maybe you keep 1 or 2 max. But a league with games spread out would be a much more healthier approach, especially from a mental health standpoint Like Reply Quote

The reason the league works so well in Maryland is that they do not have a PAL type of league. The Maryland teams have a winter league and then the NGLL spring league.

When we got the teams that were participating Igloo was the only organization with a team in the B bracket. Not associated with them but kudos to giving your girls an opportunity to play. The rest of Long Island… shameful… Think you have 1 or 2 more years max to find the right club. Like Reply Quote
