Bragging rights? Sounds like a waste of time. You're daughter tears an ACL then what? My daughter is a tad young, but no way I would allow my committed kid to get injured.

Meant to say I was at tryouts but not really paying attention but did see them

Completely worth it! My daughter was a 2019 Uncommited last year and there was a ton of coaches there! A lot of dialogue started from it . She was committed in Sept.

So your kid will not play another sport nor will she play with her high school team. Ask your kids future college coach if they still want her playing in the off season and I will bet you they say yes.

That's a ridiculous statement. So you mean to tell me you're going to keep your "2019" daughter in a bubble from now until college because she's committed? She could tear her ACL playing HS, travel, another sport, etc. It could happen in a variety of situations?and if it's going to happen it will, you can't stop her from being an athlete/teenager.

What school? was that directly from school girls?

Little fishy...

Stop stirring the pot, they are a quality 6-7 team.

When the process started to heat up more after Schools girls and into the summer after the phone conversations began with Several schools most mentioned they saw her there. When I was walking around the venue I saw almost every major school represented . It was almost like a who's who of coaches . at some of our games I would see sometimes 10-20 coaches on the sidelines . It's not that expensive and well worth. In my opinion it was worth every penny.

What team was your daughter on?

NJ2 which worked out better because NJ 1 was almost all commits So coaches came to our games .

Are you dense . They are in a division with 10 teams in which they are average . You say they are a 6-7 team ( whatever that means ). If you think they should have the most players on team 1 you are ignorant . The WH team is non competitive w the top teams . Everyone has figured out the politics and which coach should never be allowed again .

Uh... I didnt post that post but its not hard to figure out that the 6-7 team comment means 6 wins 7 losses

From our 1 time experience, daughter played on LI 3, caches were everywhere. Team 3 was filled with commits from Maryland, Fla, BC, Harvard and many other great schools. It was a great experience no parents yelling at the officials or their girls. Just good lax being played by talented girls.

does someone have a listing of the rosters?

Yes for team 1 just go to the WHB regular season roster.

So a post-mortem from school girls to answer the question about coaches being there. The answer was yes, a lot. Most of the top schools not named BC and Maryland were there. Gary Gait and his crew, both of Northwestern's assistants as examples. I would say most schools had at least one representative there. The fields at Yale were terrible, but the lax was competitive and definitely the coaches were there.

agreed on the fields- terrible and a bit embarrassing I would think for the organizers. any thoughts on recruiting for these 2019's? my daughter is getting a bunch of emails from coaches (some with the unsubscribe button on the bottom and some not). I know other girls are getting the same thing. is the rule change going to drive cash to the college coaches and the summer camps??

Yes on driving cash to coaches through camps and clinics. My thoughts on 2019 recruits (take them for what they r which is one person's view) ... A lot of the spots at top schools (top 25?) were filled before the rule went into place, but not all. There are plenty of spots at other D1 schools and D2 and of course D3 really hasn't started yet. I thought the camps and clinics were the best opportunity for my daughter to display what she could do and for the coaches to get to know her personality etc. I also thought it gave my daughter at least a few days on campuses to see if it was the kind of place she might like. But we limited the camps and clinics to schools we thought were both lax fits and academic/social fits. For us that was a little easier because we had had other athletes and non-athletes go to college already and so had a decent sense of the process and the eventual matches. Be realistic, create a short list, and take control of the process instead of a more shotgun approach in my opinion. Then the camps are great. Even though the coaches can no longer respond back until September 1, have your daughter email schedules, updates, videos, grades etc to her top places. And make sure when she goes to the camps, that she is placed in the top group there, where the committed girls and serious recruits are grouped. Otherwise the camps can be not very helpful.

Also get sport recruits, old lacrosse recruites. It shows when a coach is looking at your daughter. It helped us tremendously

Has anyone ever heard of the club Big 4 HHH? Where are they from?

The Philadelphia Area
HHH = Head Heart Hustle
Storied program on the boys side
The program split a few years ago

Which is the better Heros 2019 team, green or white? For TLC 2019 - which is the better team white or red? How are those clubs compared to the top clubs in Maryland - M&D and Sky Walkers?

TLC Red and Hero's Green are their top teams. Yes, these clubs are at the same level of either M & D or Sky Walkers. The Hero's 2019 Green team has 13 players already committed to D1 schools.

any College coaches watching these 2019's this past weekend?

If you had a 2019 you would know

Plenty

Heros 2019 has some very strange parents.

And some very super cool ones

Really? And you are basing your comparison to what? Is it because these parents were out there sucking down dust throughout the whole weekend, while watching their daughters play a fringe sport?
If your daughter was already committed or had attended any of the top tier camps or combines - you might have had an opportunity to be around more of the Heros parents. Frankly, they all seem just like most of the LI parents except they have that weird Maryland accent.
Careful how you judge - there are very few D1 programs out there that do not have any Maryland girls. Chances are you will be spending 4 years with those very strange parents.

Spend 4 years with them? I may need to reconsider this project.

I know, I've been praying a lot lately and will planning on doing a lot of drinking when we get there. But, whacha gonna do about it? Girl's picked her school and we're along for the ride.

why are you along for the ride? maybe you should let your daughter get out there and do something of her own without you over her shoulder yelling 'go to goal' ?

No, all good 2019s are done.

What an obnoxious, false response- don't take the bait

Obviously a Long Island response. Heros 18 goalie just today committed to md you idiot!!

Mediocre school too. Have fun.

Even here in Maryland the Heros parents are considered weird.

if we can stop debating the personality quirks of some MD club team for five minutes, it seemed to me there were quite a few less College coaches at National Draw watching 2019's than at Summer Genesis.

LFTC has a long list though it seems.

Yes, I noticed that too about the number of coaches watching. But, I think it was hard to really get a read on the number of coaches since we were bouncing back and forth between the two venues.
