As per your request here is a dedicated Team Elevate thread. Happy posting. Not from Elevate, but I like what I see going on over there. Not an elite club, but moving in the right direction and they have some pretty good teams in a few age groups. Glad to see more LI clubs coming on strong.

Are there any age groups that the can honestly say their top team is near TG or YJ top team.

Their teams are way better than tg without a doubt. What makes you think that th is an "elite team". And what is your reasoning to think that elevate is not. Just curious. I have been on tg and elevate and believe me there is no comparison, in players, coaches and overall TEAM closeness. It really is a well oiled machine where tg is just falling apart at the seams. This is my daughters 2nd year on elevate after 2 miserable years at tg. Everyone have to [lacrosse] foot around BS and SS. I honestly don't know why..... The lack of coaching on tg together with the disconnection between players and coaching is despicable. Just glad I made the move when I did. DK IS AN AMAZING INDIVIDUAL.

Certainly better than TG 2021 last season.

My daughters 2021 Evate team crushed TG black last summer and had some good games with YJ Blue. 2017 Elevate is better than TG black as well. My guess is Elevate has surpassed TG in many age groups - some just haven't played each other in several years.

For the Elevate parents, try not to hang your entire clubs hat on a 2 goal win at 2021. Sounds too much like the TG 2020 argument. And easy on questioning the elite status of your club. Elite is where you draw the line. A town club can be elite among other town clubs, a team can be an elite group amongst other LI teams. Elevate can likely be elite LI
for some age groups. Nationally elite? Not even in discussion on either a team or club level.

There is no difference in talent. YJ top 2 teams are outstanding, no comparrison and NO- I am not in any way affiliated with them, I just truly enjoy watching all of these female athletes play. Some have already peeked and it is great to see others are now catching up.

My daughter has gotten alot out of their instruction. I heard they also ran bus trips for recruiting age kids to colleges up and down the northeast - sounded like an excellent idea. They seem to do a lot of innovative things for the kids and familes.

What's going to happen in the next three years that is going to drastically change this club? We are in Central Suffolk and the travel girls in our school play for TG or YJ (more TG) with a few playing for 91 or Title 9 but no one that I know of plays for Elevate. Where does Elevate get their girls from; Northwest Suffolk and Eastern Nassau?

I don't think there are 11 new girls. I know they trimmed their roster. There might be 8 new girls. It seems they are getting girls from all over now. Massapequa, wantagh, Huntington, cold spring harbor, north shore of nassau county.

Most are girls that came from other clubs lower teams. Some didn't try out, made a deal. One is a parent whose older kid has played in TG, YJ, and now Elevate. Good Luck with this NUT!!

I have very limit experience with Elevate but Ive seen them play and they seem to have a solid program. My daughter has played for another club For a few years. However, I wanted her to consider a change and so she attended the TE tryouts. I can tell you that they held the most organized tryouts I've ever seen. I was quite impressed. Although she was offered a spot on one of their blue teams but she decided to stay with her friends on the team she's been playing for. I was a little disappointed but I left the choice to her. I guess it was all for the best. I was hoping to escape the politics and crazy parents but I seems that there is no escaping. They are at every club, at every level and unfortunately you just have to deal with it, put on a fake smile, throw up a wave once in a while and pray that they don't feel the urge to come talk to you.

While there will be the "parent" issue wherever you go, I have found the parent issue at Elevate to be much less than at YJ and TG. You are right about the tryout as well. Having been to others, Elevate's is very well organized and I think the girls are made to feel very comfortable.

Why do you care? For the same reason the owner goes on the YJ thread promoting his second rate club. Keep telling yourself how competitive the Elevate teams are , at what age are they actually competitive .Your best age group 2017 placed behind the only two 2017 YJ teams in the same tournament and behind the only 2018 YJ team. The only time your 2016 team played YJ was in a 25 minute playoff game and the score was somewhere in the 10-0 range.Stop posting on other clubs threads and they will forget your club even exists.

It's actually refreshing having Elevate parents come on and say what they like about their club and the moderator said in a different thread that he does check to see that it's not the same person answering their own questions so lighten up; all your negativity is making me

DK complete tool bag. Has a Player,coach and everything that he touches with Lacrosse. So if you put DK, SS, and CR together, would that be a tool kit? or a tool chest? I really don't know the club at all (I asked which color is the top in each age group, blue I assume and where they pull girls from) but it seems like you are good in some years and not that good in others but you seem to have less drama than the top 2 clubs. Folks should not use this post to say hey my clubs 2022 girls kicked your 2022's butt; use the specific year post for that and if you like your club good and if you don;t theres always another club on LI

Do some excellent things including clinics/training. Draw clinic is amazing! They had a bus tour for kids to over 30 colleges this year. They are having college camps over the summer. My daughter has bonded with the kids on her team in a way I could never had imagined! Could not be more pleased with this club.

Daughter not from Elevate but she attended both the freshman open house in the morning and the clinic in the afternoon. Penn Head coach spoke to the girls and the parents and was super impressive. Overall they did a very good job. In terms of the clinic, generally strong players there, recognized many girls and parents who recently attended the Elite 120. However, to keep things in perspective, they only take 8 girls a year and probably 70 attended the invite only open house portion.

Simply asking for any news or thoughts. Thanks for the question though. Here you go: Some 2020 - 2018 girls had the opportunity to play against Team Israel this past Sunday. Some 2018 girls got to go to UPENN for their Freshman Day on Sunday. On Tuesday TE had a TE New England family meeting after the Brown vs. San Diego D1 game and then they had a free college recruiting night for about 100 people at Brown. Spring Break camp is coming up next week. Hope this helps in regards to what's going on.

Not looking to stir the pot, just curious. Does Team Elevate get an automatic bid to the U15 tournament this year? Or do they have to send a team to Delaware for the qualifier?

This requested thread started out hot and heavy. What happened? Whats going on in the Team Elevate world? Team Elevate world is just fine, very happy. Most of the posts on these threads are from disgruntled people. Maybe that's why this thread is quiet. No news is good news. There isnt a lot of drama in the TE world - its a good thing. Looking forward to the Camp thats starting tonight - should be a great clinic the next 3 days.

U15's haven't been filling all their spots over the past several years. There are several teams that play every year, don't qualify and don't win half their games. Express an interest and you will get invited.

Team Elevate provides an excellent travel lacrosse experience for many players and their families and Mr. Kotowski runs a quality club. On par with many other clubs out there.
With that said, message me with details and I will follow up if necessary.

Sounds like HOP is aware of the situation and this as he correctly states would not be the place for the situation to be increasingly publicized and not the appropriate forum for the Directors to address it. I am sure they will find the right place and time to do so, but this would not be it.

Just saw the TE tweet - new uniforms look AWESOME!!!! We just got our team store gear and that came out great as well. Looking forward to a fun summer! My friends was looking at my daughter's team schedule and asked why is the top 2018 team playing in such weak groupings in tournaments? One, for recruiting age kids he said they wont get a lot of visibility at tournaments as coaches will be watching top teams which they are not playing and two, they will go 4-0 each week and lose in the playoffs once they play a decent team? Why not play the top teams? They are playing the 2nd team or in some cases the 3rd team of some of the top teams. A little new to this - am I missing the strategy here?

Why not play the top teams? They are playing the 2nd team or in some cases the 3rd team of some of the top teams. A little new to this - am I missing the strategy here? 3 out of 4 schedules were posted: - New England Cup: they are playing a mixed bag. Some A teams, some B teams. - Lax for the Cure: this is a championship-style tournament, so they spread out the A teams in different divisions so they end up all meeting in the playoffs. - Capital Cup: they are playing all A level teams. I find nothing wrong with this schedule. They are in no "weak groupings". For their first tournament it looks like they are in more of an "A-" bracket, which I think is smart for their first tournament. LFTC I explained, and at Capital Cup they are facing excellent competition, like Heroes for example. Coaches will be at the games regardless. Obviously you don't know how recruiting/scouting works. Coaches do not just show up to tournaments and only watch the best teams. They go with a spread sheet on specific GIRLS that they want to see. Often while watching those girls, they will also check out the whole team as well. I do not understand why you feel the need to come on here and complain. Why not send Dave an email? That's what I have always done in the past and that is how I now know all the information I need to. Try not to listen to "friends" trying to stir the pot.

The funny thing is there are so many posts regarding the 2018 team that says "a friend of mine" - watched our games, saw our schedule, heard about this or that, etc. - this is just someone stirring the pot and looking to create BS when there is no BS to create. What next - is your "friend" going to complain about the dates of the ACT/SAT or regents reviews that Elevate set up as well? Give it a break already.

The scheduling you describe would be about right for this club. Elevate is not on a peer level with the top clubs A teams, they are par with the second level club's top teams. So if you are director and you go to a tournament and schedule all pool play against the top teams, and lose all those games the team and club is going to come unraveled very quickly. Sounds like the scheduling will have you playing a varied mix of talent which will get you some easy wins, easy losses and some competitive games. Its nice to be able to play the very top teams once in a while as a measuring stick, but not every game all summer long.

Thanks for the response - not complaining - just asking a question and thought on here you would get a few people to weigh in since it is an Elevate thread. I am sure this time of year Dave is quite busy and I am sure he has far better things to do than hang around this forum. Just to clarify, I went back to his email and he asked why at lax for the cure we are in a low division playing the 2nd M&D, United and Skywalker teams. He said all the better teams are all in the top 2 or 3 divisions. He was saying we aren't playing any of the top teams below who are all in the top 2 divisions. If they are spreading out the top teams, like you state above, how are all of these teams below in the same top 2 groups? Thanks in advance for responding. Capital:2018 Blue Cardinal 2018 Soundcrosse (Ct) 2018 Maryland United Lacrosse Club 2018 East Sky Walkers 2018 Blue Steps Elite 2018 Blue M&D Lacrosse 18 Black Nems Lacrosse:2018 Phantastix:2018 Purple South Jersey Select Lacrosse Tlc Lacrosse:Tlc 2018Red Yj 2018 Rose

Honestly, to get the most exposure for your 2018s, you need to play the best teams in most of the tournaments - YJs, M&D United, TLC, Skywalkers, STEPS, Maryland United, Capital Lacrosse, Rebels. These are the teams the college coaches tend to focus on as they have a large number of girls who will play D1 lacrosse and they can maximize their time watching games where they can watch several girls they have their eye on.

Previous posters are correct. Not a lot of drama at Elevate. This is a good thing. Nothing but respect from parents and coaches and positive reinforcement and friendship for my daughter. More than I can say for other clubs we have played for. You need to find a club that is a good fit for your family - and there are a variety of factors that play in to that. I want a good experience, good coaching and my kid to enjoy being part of a travel team - and I got that. Which is why we left the previous club and the drama on that thread behind. To all the pot stirrers - take your negativity and go away. To all the TE families - looking forward to a great season!

What this team suffers from the most is living up to their 2017 team. Their 2017's are very good and can play with ANY team in the country. After that, the teams drop off dramatically. This club has been riding their coat tails and using that team to market the program as if all other teams are at that level and they are NOT. As for the 2018's - as an age group they are not a strong group, so much so that the director continues to move kids from the B team to the A team which does nothing towards building a cohesive team and has caused some kids to leave. I heard that one B kid just left for liberty. The B girls just want to figure out what to do to impress the right people and move up which doesn't contribute at all to team play. This also does nothing for the confidence of the A girls as I know these kids are always looking over their shoulder. I hope that this wont continue throughout the entire summer. My guess is this summer will turn off enough kids in this group and they will be down to one team in this age level but time will tell.

We are better than this. I am encouraging everyone to ignore comments like this because we are better than that. Look at the complaints on other threads: coaches being escorted out of a tournament by police, kids being benched for no reason, CR ignoring second, third, and forth teams....if people like this, who come on here and try to stir the pot for no reason, are our biggest problem then I think we are doing just fine! In the end - my kid is having the time of her life with amazing teammates and coaches. Love my TE family!!!!

For 2018 I assume the Blue Team is the A team and the Red is the B team? Are they close in talent?

Another person from outside Elevate trying to knock the program. Stay where you are at - we are just fine! As for players moving up - I think that is a great thing. It shows that players who have put in the hard work and commitment can be moved up. What a great thing for the girls to strive for!

My guess is this summer will turn off enough kids in this group and they will be down to one team in this age level but time will tell. You are sadly mistaken. Let me set the record straight. One girl left A because she is primarily a soccer player and decided to focus on that as she enters her recruiting years. As the rosters are kept small, as advertised, that opened up a position on A and a very talented girl from B was moved up to A. No one from A is looking over their shoulder. They all deserve to be there. They are a classy, cohesive, fun group of girls who get along well on and off the field. They play as a team, are not internally competitive, as seen on some other teams, and will have a successful summer.

I thought they used to have 3 teams? They have three listed for Cap Cup but White was not on the schedule with games; Blue and Red were. Blue looks like they are in a tough division and Red is also playing some good teams. Blue is not playing any LI teams but Red is playing Title 9.
Regarding the Cap Cup...does it work where the higher numbered divisions in each age group are for the better teams? It sort of looks that way. Does anyone know?

Once again, people outside our club coming here to stir the pot. Don't let them!! 99% of everyone I know who is a part of TE is beyond happy...that 1% is a crazy mom who thinks her daughter is a superstar when she is just a solid B player.
Good luck to the teams that are playing this weekend! My daughter starts next weekend and we could not be more excited for some awesome games, amazing company, and epic tailgates!
P.S. - the uniforms look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

So, how would you rank the Elevate events from this weekend (in order of bad to worse). I am stuck, help me out!
1) All the losses to the YJ Teams
2) Director getting 2 yellow cards
3) The new amazing ILLIGEAL uniforms the parents paid for

The club designing them, the store they are working with and the manufacturer, all who should know the rules. So from bad to worse (1,2,3). Typical Elevate weekend. I guess the question is, what do you do about the uniforms now?

I do not believe #3. Why would their uniforms be illegal? They have been at this for a long time and I am sure the person responsible for designing them at elevate knows the rules. Maybe the uniform issue had to do with what the kids were wearing in addition to the uniform and not the uniform itself.

Is your daughter on our team? I doubt it. Go spend your energy elsewhere. My daughter plays 2018 red and is having a great time. Team sizes are fantastic, coaches are great and we are having fun while playing great lacrosse. Why don't you go stuff it and worry about yourself loser!

Saw elevate 2018 red play on Saturday. Looked very good for. 2nd team in an age group. Was surprised how much depth they had. Had a small bench but every kid could play. Goalie was very good. Coaches were very well behaved.

Could not agree more!
Can't blame him though - When it didn't work out in the business world for him the Guy saw $ signs in LAX and the North Shore parents are lining up to fork it over. They have more teams than they can properly manage and offer up lots of "shiny" stuff to detract from the ugly. People love that s@*t. EVERYTHING is a profit center for him.

Referee will not call that themselves, it's up to the opposing coach to ask referee for a ruling. That is what happened to TG in the finals. No other team had a problem until they played YJ in the finals.

My daughter was there. Ref made incorrect rule and the tournament I believe was notified. There is a rule against INSERTS on jerseys being too big, but we have sublimated uniforms and therefore our jerseys are 100% legal. As for the two yellow cards, they were at my daughters game and one was ridiculous on the refs end - Dave was simply asking a question and the ref freaked out..tournament ended up apologizing on behalf of her. Second YC was against our team because our girl accidentally went on after a 4th YC and it's an automatic card against the coach. Everyone grow up and stop trying to stir the pot. It was an awesome weekend.

Please don't add any reason for people to come on here at a later date and make you eat those words if they lose. Let them prove themselves on the field rather than with words on paper. A comment like that, whether true or not, can ONLY come back to haunt you later on.

Half of the White team left,very watered down, and they use players from the Blue team at tournaments to fill the roster. Team Elevate is all about the money. They will be down to one team at 2018 level next year.

Why do you come on and post when you are clueless. First off its not up to the other team its up to the refs. Second TG did the magic marker number plates well before they stepped on the field with YJ ( yes they were worried YJ might call them out on it). YJ uniforms are illegal also but they had theirs made up before the rules change, as a matter of fact at a tournament last year YJ gave up the first draw of each half against TG because of their uniforms. Shannon told the refs she did not want the ball to do a draw but the refs refused and awarded TG the ball.

They will be down to one team at 2018 level next year. If I were on 2018 Red, I wouldn't be upset about the uniforms or the yellow cards, I would be upset that YOUR director went up to college coaches watching YOUR first game this weekend and told them to turn around and watch the white team play as there are 4 blue girls playing (including his daughter) with that team. He gave them the numbers of each of the girls and the coaches turned away from your game and watched the blue girls play with the white team and NEVER looked back at your game. That would upset me more than the yellow cards and the jerseys. I watched that red team play, I didn't turn around like the college coaches did and thought that red team had some very good players and played well as a team. Goalie was very good. I also think your coaches saw your director do that as well but doubt they would say anything to him. Sad when you pay all that money and come all that way only to be undermined by the person you are paying as he is only looking out for the best interest of HIS teams and not the entire club.

I really hope not. First year with this program and I keep hearing a lot of negativity about the director and some of the parents of the teams. Parents have not been welcoming I"ll to u that though. They were not happy about changes to their daughters team this year and have no problem discussing it in front of the new parents. Seen it first hand and it's very uncomfortable.

No, it's not true. I was there and I completely misunderstood the conversation that the director had with the scouts. The scouts asked the director if Team Elevate Red 2018 was the top team at that age level. He told them no - Elevate Blue is the top team at the 2018 level. He said he had some Blue players playing, and the scouts chose to watch both the Blue players and Elevate Red (they repositioned their chairs so they could see both games).
Now, apparently my conversation with one parent started this nasty, anonymous thread. I was angry at the time, but, again, I misunderstood the conversation and thought the director was telling the scouts which team to watch. He did not do that - he just answered their questions. Now, enough anonymous slander. I know who you are . . . please refrain from posting anything more about this misunderstood situation.
To be fair, the director has always encouraged my daughter and offered to help her in any way he can. He believes in her ability to play in college, should she choose to play, even though she has never been on the top team.
Posting parent - give me a call if you want. We should talk.

YJ Skak played in a lower division - they played 3 combined 21/22 teams in their pool games. Go back to your YJ site and keep your drama over there. We are very happy with our teams.

Although the tenor of the original post is not called for, the finals result was not as competitive as the last meeting between the teams. Some of the other posters (select quote when you respond so folks can follow your comments) reference a bye and weaker division for YJ. Is your contention that Elevate was tired and YJ well rested and that contributed to the play on the field? Hopefully not, just take the result and move forward. Full game between the two coming-up this weekend. Best of luck to Elevate, hope to get back to tough competition as it was fun to watch last year.

Just wondering why Elevate didn't compete this past weekend? All the top Maryland teams were there providing great competition. Many Colleges in attendance as well. Team Elevate attended the IWLCA New England Cup at UMASS with the recruitable age girls and the younger teams went to Lax by the Sea in New Jersey. What kind of teams did the Elevate 2017s and 2018s play up in MA this weekend? Were any decent teams there? Girls lacrosse teams!

I think the 2018s lost 1 game and the 16/17s won most of theirs. Best team was lady roc 2017 - competition fell off quickly from there and lady roc 2018 is not very good. As a parent traveling to these tournaments I would rather lose close games than win all of the games by a wide margin. Hopefully better competition coming up for the rest of the summer.

Weird that you would say that given you tied the Ct Grizzlies, lost to Lady Roc and did not overwhelm Mass Elite, a team that likely had a down game against you given that they beat the Ct Grizzlies team you tied. I agree that the competition dropped off from the top 4 or so clubs there. So the main issue in some ages was the pooling. If the top teams from Lady Roc, Mass Elite, Elevate and say CT Grizzlies were all pooled together in their respective age groups, I think each game would have been competitive.

Don't take the bait. This is not an Elevate parent. It is someone form another club looking to stir up drama. The New England Cup was an IWLCA event and their were over 120 coaches there. At the recruitable ages, it is not about competition, it is about being seen and the TE girls were seen by plenty of coaches. That's what it is all about.

News Flash - girls other than YJ's play in college. Many ways to play at the next level even if you don't play club! Small D3's hold rally's at their schools recruiting the student body to join. Don't believe the hype, there is a place for everyone (well maybe not at Northwestern)

And that is the reason I left Elevate. He is only interested in his top team at each level and his daughters in particular. While I do believe he has a true love of lacrosse and loves teaching the kids, the bottom line is the lower level teams are just practice for his top team and he needs to make sure those kids get recruited or his club will not move along.

Absolutely not true. He is directly involved in all the teams and he and his staff helps all the kids. Why don;t you speak to the families who have all had one-on-one recruiting meetings - no matter what the team - or the kids who went on the bus tours - no matter what the team. Sorry but your sour grapes are just that sour grapes.

ALL the club teams focus on their TOP teams … not their lower teams. If the TOP teams do well, the clubs look better. If the second and lower teams also do well, its gravy and makes the clubs look that much deeper. Its no offense to the second team kid on any team, its just that its not impressive to say your second team won their B bracket. Competing at the TOP is what makes the club attractive to parents who are looking for a team for their daughter and coaches who might be looking at a team for a prospective student athlete.
You want the TOP teams competing at the TOP level… and winning. That is the sign that the team is a contender.
The fact that Elevate provides all the extras to all their players, no matter if they are on the 1st, second or 3rd team, is not typical. Take advantage of it and accept that your daughter needs to work on her skills a bit more to make that top team if that is where she wants to be.

Coaches are split amongst the teams. Top coaches throughout. Some Red teams have current HS or former HS coaches and the blue teams do not. Same practices Same amount of tournaments for all teams. Pretty much the same tournaments. Some tournaments only take top two teams.

1. ALL Elevate teams practice Tuesdays and Thursdays. That is a given.
2. There are some unbelievable coaches on the red teams, which are the "B" level. My daughter's coaches on 2021 red are AMAZING. One is a former college coach and another is a current college player.
3. Everyone goes to the same amount of tournaments. A lot of my daughters friends are on Blue and they are also going to 4, just like us.
I hate when people try to stir the pot!!! If you are unhappy go talk to DK or leave and be even more miserable at a different program. No one does more for the kids than Elevate does. My friend's daughter is on 2018 Red and she has gotten a one on one recruiting meeting with VK, access to all of TE's recruiting websites and databases, phone calls with coaches, and even has a visit planned...all which Dave set up!!!! He is more than happy to help anyone who asks for it - you just have to reach out!
Can't wait for a great weekend up in NJ. Win or lose, my daughter has never been happier and learns more and more each day - about lax AND life...isn't that what it is all about?

Actually the uniforms are illegal, if the officials decide to make issue of it in a game the opposing team gets a free possession one time at the beginning of the game. From what I saw at tournaments many teams' uniforms are illegal (including YJ), most because of the size of the side inserts.
From US Lacrosse 2016 rulebook: "Uniform trim is permitted on the collar, cuffs and waistband that may be of contrasting
colors, but not more than 1 inch wide. Side inserts (armpit to waistband) may be of
contrasting, multiple colors, but not more than 3 inches wide."

I think you might be overstating the profit margin by quite a bit

I guess only the people who play for the club can answer that. I think one also needs to look at how many girls leave at the end of each season because if turnover is high especially on the top teams that's not a good sign. If 4,5 or 6 of your A team girls walk then that's a problem but on the flip side there's no shortage of kids who want to play and parents that can easily write the check so they are able to field teams. If they are churning through players eventually that will catch up if it hasn't already and you will have mediocre at best teams. It also doesn't appear that the club is in trouble

We have had great experiences with Team Elevate and DK. If people have issues with DK they should address them with him, as we did when we had an issue. One thing people can't take away from him is that the girls have an top learning experience with DK. He really is great at training the girls. My two girls will be playing with TE again this spring/summer.

However, it's not worth it. our experience with Elevate was awful and I wish my daughter never played there. There were red flags early on, but I was too naive to take them as seriously as I should have. Dave does not like to be questioned aboutt anything and resents you if you raise any issues involving him or his clique of family and friends. He's already shown poor character and lack of integrity in the past and has again which will catch up with him again. There are plenty of other clubs to play for, choose one of them.

When does Elevate update their website they still have 2015 tournaments listed That would be require removing just about every coach from the website since they all left except the parent coaches. Wait until this summer. The only non parent coaches will be some 2016 kids who just graduated. While they have played lax, they have never coached before. I think at that point, the parent coaches will look like stars!

Sunday clinic was not on a hardwood floor so not sure where you are getting your misinformation? Clinic was well run only gripe was significant gap in age and ability. The kids all had fun and isn't that what this is about?

I think at that point, the parent coaches will look like stars! I know my daughters coaches left and we have NO clue who will be coaching her Elevate team this year. In fact, we don't even really know what girls are on her team. Not sure what has changed at Elevate but things are so disorganized!

That's going to be tough on the triangle piece of property with just 1 field Can't be any worse than the gym they are using to run clinics these days. Imagine parents paying 50 bucks to have their kids practice lax on a hardwood floor? Don't forget elevate only takes cash! Sunday clinic was not on a hardwood floor so not sure where you are getting your misinformation? Clinic was well run only gripe was significant gap in age and ability. The kids all had fun and isn't that what this is about? Most certainly was on a basketball court. Look at the pictures on twitter that Elevate posts. The kids are playing lax on a Bball court. How far have they fallen?

How far have they fallen? I got to wonder what's wrong with you? You dont play for the club yet your stalking their Twitter account? Is your life really that empty that this is the best you can do with your time? Who cares that they are playing on a wood floor? The kids have a stick in their hand and are running around for an hour.

Thought I would share some facts...in the past week my daughter will has had the opportunity to participate in the following TE events:
90 min practice
3 day clinic (yes on hardwood floors) for younger players
90 min practice
90 min practice
Older kids can also participate in an additional advanced training session.
That seems like a lot of activity for one week.

Dave sleeps very comfortably, thank you...knowing that your check cleared and all the others are safely in his bank account gives him peace of mind... Very true. We left last year after my daughter stopped believing all the heart felt speeches, motivational clichés, (how many times can you say hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard)? I mean really...... When my 13 year old catches onto the BS, its time to go. Its cute for the little ones for a little while but that's about it. Go to YJ, TG, Icon, fl$, etc. the list goes on. Don't buy into the marketing, facebook, emails, quotes, etc.

will always give DK his props on marketing, and salesmanship...nobody does it better...the end of year party at catering halls are nice touch too..but after awhile, the gloss wears off and one realizes the emperor has no clothes..not unlike a bunch of other programs I am sure, but people do get to see eventually what he is made of...

OK - so from November until last week Elevate did nothing in the off season and last week they ran a lot of stuff. Figure it out! They were shut out off all indoor space (even the gym floor) until everyone's indoor time expired at the HUB and other venues and now they are trying to make up all that lost money they used to make in past years. Now that its time to go outside they are trying to squeeze what they can out of you. Save your "cash at the door" and go outside and have a catch with your daughter.

Your above statement about not having any training since November is not accurate. My daughter had the opportunity to participate in a bunch of training sessions over the last several months. For example, an on going training session was scheduled almost every week since the beginning of January. Additionally, their were a couple of training sessions in December along with a 3 day clinic over the Dec break.

Don't buy into the marketing, facebook, emails, quotes, etc. Everything about elevate lacks integrity from the directors on down. The entire place is a show. From the tent to the parties to the speeches and the list goes on. DK and the family make money throughout every aspect of the show. Just be aware of what you are signing up for and what you are buying.

He provides a service and you pay for it because you perceive value. Isn't that what all these travel programs do???? Some have great margin than others because the market supports. Not a big fan of said individual, but enough already... Elevate has great margins as they keep their expenses low by stiffing and not paying their coaches. My business would be far more profitable if I didn't pay my employees. Great business model! My daughter's friend coached there and never got paid and fought to get her travel expenses reimbursed. Elevate on 3. One, two, three....... MONEY!

will say it once again, and hopefully folks will take heed...DK has bills to pay from his previous career as wall Street huckster...got fined massively and sanctioned as well...so all those $$ grabs that he puts out there are attempts to pay off the bills that are due...

No affiliation but was looking at their website and to me it does send a poor message when you tweet "Payable by cash at the clinic".
It really does make you wonder.

We all have bills to pay... Yes we do, but most professional run organizations don't stipulate cash at the door! Sorry but that's just bush league and if that's how this club does business I would stay far away.
