US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Yellow Jackets Lacrosse

My daughter played in liberty you don't have to pay all up front - you can pay in installments.

LOL PATHETIC

PATHETIC??? WHY???

PATHETIC??? WHY???

You must be kidding, or your lost. This is a board about lacrosse, does your daughter even play lacrosse ?

I think it just shows you all how quickly girls college lacrosse becomes irrelevant! Maybe now you will understand why you need an education in something other than lax-101

3x National Champion at Northwestern
2x Tournament MVP
3x All American
2nd all time tournament points
Tewaraarton Winner
Hofstra Head Coach
Arguably the best player to ever play from Long Island
In Lacrosse it's "Shannon" and in Soccer its Mia as in Mia Hamm
Good luck with your little Shannon LOL

You mean WAS Shannon and WAS Mia Hamm.

In Maryland we have Katie, Zoe and Taylor.

But we don't care about Maryland.

All of whom are overrated. Especially Taylor. What a joke her winning 2x. Totally not deserved. What does she do now? Run lame lax clinics? My daughter is still waiting for the tee shirt she was supposed to send from the waste of time she went too.

3 times get it right; along with 2 titles and 2 runner ups

There are a few top lacrosse players that have the name Shannon.. no i'm not lost have have 3 girls that play one in college and my other 2 on top teams. Ive been around a long time. I was just wondering which Shannon you were talking about! No need to be Nasty

Gilroy

In lacrosse we have JACKOFFALONE. with no crrdentials.

Outside of the top 15 college lacrosse is close to intramural level of play. Hit the books not the wall. There will always be a place to play because there is so very little exceptional talent. And paying to play summer club does not make you exceptional it just means you can travel on the weekends and have enough cash

That is very true. You want to be part of the F&F team.....open up the check book

A 2020 on our high school lax team is going to IMG boarding in Florida for 10th grade for lax.
Anyone heard of this ? the girls lacrosse is new. $75,000 a year.

WHY???? No professional league to aspire to and college is mostly a glorified walk on for the women's game.. IMG is for the sports that pay professionals.

I coach another sport and I have had athletes offered scholarships from IMG, not full scholarships. But it did bring the cost down significantly. I may venture a guess (only a guess) that IMG may be offering some scholarships if they are looking to build a new program with quality players, and attract more quality. There is a lot of wealth in lacrosse, and maybe they are looking to spread some seed money, build a solid high school team and even parlay that into a club team as well and build their lacrosse brand/enrollment in that manner.

I see the other sport coaches point. MAYBE but this girl is on the B team of a weak westchester team, no superstar.
just boggles my mind! I think it's nutso

Shannon Gilroy was one of the best women lacrosse players out there. She is one class act! Shannon goes above and beyond to help girls and is one of the best role models out there. I don't even live in Northport!

But you live in Setauket and are related to SG

Message to Yellow Jackets director. Please don't take more than 22 girls on '25 Janelli. Please. Way too many last year so girls got half the reps and playing time they are paying for. Raise the price if you must, but reduce the numbers on the team.

That will never happen. The director does not give a rats as about you. Only cares about making $$$$. More girls=More $$. Expect at least 25. If you don't like it, you know where the door is.

Sorry, we are currently at the price point that our market research firm has stated is the maximum that parents will pay for travel lacrosse annual dues. If we raise it anymore - than the product may not be within reach for many families and we will not the numbers we need to hit the revenue that we are looking for per team. Currently - for us to reach that satisfactory annual revenue - we have to bring in revenue via other means. Though it requires many more hours of my time - those extras generate quite a bit of revenue for the club. In the end - isn't it all about the benefits of the girls? Therefore - what benefits the club, will benefit the girls. Thus, we have to keep the roster sizes the same as in prior years. Also, for the club to receive a satisfactory return from the hotels - we have to guarantee a certain number of rooms. Of course this is also for the benefit of the club. Which in the end benefits the girls.
-Signed the director-

hahahahaha ... that's never going to ... hahahahaha ... *i can't breathe* ... hahahahaha ... happen ... hahahaha

please be sure to sign up for the fall tournament schedule asap, winter clinics and as always privates are highly reccomended

my only beef is that if they deem a player "A" caliber then that player should play. If the player isn't "A" caliber put her on the "B" team so she sees the field.

The problem is the bottom of the "A" roster falls off a cliff and she still takes them to get the roster size up to 25+ even if they aren't worthy

Any team who takes more than 22 is grabbing your money. They only care about the starters. The rest are treated like a door mat. FACT!!

"A" caliber, "b" caliber ? at 2025 can they even tie their shoes ? Keep spending and living the Dream

Yep! My daughter rode the bench in 5th now she starts and Is a difference maker who doesn't leave the field in close games while daddies little 5th grade are superstar sits behind. Love watching the look on some of these idiotic parents faces! Gotta love it!

Tool

Ouch!! much suck to peak early!

We love the game but hate everything else about it. too much selfish play and way too much money being exchanged. And for 99% of kids playing their offer will be 0% - .33%

An award of a 1/3 pays about $15,000 a year at most privates. Is it really worth it? You can get $15,000 a lot easier with strong GPA's and SAT's

Thanks for another useless comment, guy.

If you view playing a youth sport as strictly a financial investment, you are doing your kid a disservice.

Most people in the F&F click are probably in for $40,000 over their 10 year run. Better be some payout other than having that F'en Bee on everything I own (shirts, jackets, blankets, hats, stickers, magnets etc)

You forgot about the thousands of dollars worth of swag that your daughter gets for free. That will bring up the total some.

Payout is your kid had 10 great years of teammates, competing, learning how to lead, learning how to work hard etc. There also might be the payout of helping her get into a college she wouldn't otherwise be able to attend. Then there is the potential for some cost reduction (scholarship) on that college tuition.
