And your club is? Oh, now I get it. Your just a troll with no life that comes on here to cause trouble. You have no credibility here so go away now and watch your daughter play on her make believe club with her make believe friends.


Deflect deflect deflect. How about addressing the issue. Your girls are taught to play a dangerous brand of lacrosse that is inappropriate at the middle school age level. And, as stated earlier, the less talented girls on your B, C, D, E teams can't execute it without causing injuries to their opponents. Why do I have no credibility? I have watched it happen on more than one occasion. And many others support that observation. Maybe it's you that has no credibility? You certainly don't have the guts to address the issue.


I have not seen the "dangerous" play you are talking about. I have seen hard nosed, physical and aggressive play. Get used to it if you expect your daughter to play in college. Have you ever seen a DI girls game? Syracuse had 43, yes 43 fouls in the championship game this year. You better get used to it or teach your kid to swim. Lacrosse is a full contact game.


Exactly the problem so nicely laid out by you. You are having trouble differentiating between 11 and 12 year-old girls and ones whose bodies are fully developed and less vulnerable to injury. Also, if you actually knew anything about girls lacrosse, you would know it is a non-contact sport by rule. So you just made my point, thank you. You are teaching a contact game to 11-12 year-olds when the rules explicitly say otherwise. The funny thing is that I don't think any of your coaches have ever actually played today's brand of collegiate women's lacrosse. Our coaches have and don't teach what you teach at the 11-12 yr old level. They wait until the girls are older and can handle it appropriately. You should follow their lead. [/quote]

Sounds like you are upset your Liberty teams keep losing to YJ. Babylon Lax Blast must have been a big disappointment. U-15 results not any better. As to your point, soccer, football and basketball are all played like high school at the age, why does girls lacrosse need to be different? By rule, checking (full contact) is absolutely legal.

Your comments are so uneducated its laughable. How would you know what our coaches teach? YJ current coaches include Tewaaraton award finalists for 2014,multiple current all-americans etc.The fact that you refuse to mention the game that you saw such aggressive play tells me you are just some moron stirring the pot.Go back to your team that can barely catch and throw but are being taught by the best. Your club used to be descent but are now a joke.

You should save yourself the frustration and walk away from girls lacrosse right now. If your worried about how rough it is for your 11-12 year old daughter, your in for a rough road as it gets much more physical and rough every year.

I am a parent of an M&D player and having played YJ a few times, I don't find them to be any more aggressive than Skywalkers and honestly, they aren't really that much more aggressive that my daughter's M&D team. It seems that the fact is, the better teams play more aggressively. This is probably because they have better athletes with more speed and strength and at times seem to overpower other teams. Injuries happen in lacrosse, especially with girls.

Look, you LI parents can be nutty, but to say that the YJ players are dirty is off base and not fair to these 11-12 year old girls you are talking about.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE YELLOW JACKETS. It is pretty remarkable that the 2018's beat the Elevate 2017's. They should be really proud of that accomplishment. There has been some boasting on this site from Elevate people, and I hope that this result puts everything in perspective. Great tournament for LI Lacrosse.

It is absolutely fair and not off base. If you read the original post it states that it is the B-E teams, not the top teams where the problem lies. They are physically ill-equipped to play the aggressive defense properly and end up becoming extremely dangerous in their play. And it isn't the girls fault. It is the coaches' fault.

I assume you are not stupid enough to think that checking in girls lacrosse refers to body contact. Can you describe a legal check in girls lacrosse? I hope so.

Only in a perfect world would every check or challenge that's made be of the legal sort. You are naive if you think that girls lacrosse is non-contact. It's why they assess fouls and cards. Taking a charge is legal and that can certainly be full contact. Shoulder to shoulder contact is legal. Forget all the calls that go unseen or the cross checks referees allow the girls to play through. Every girl who plays at a high level is used to going home with bruises on her arm after every practice and game.

Stick checks. If you read through the threads this was originally the issue although it wanders to different points.

Although it would been better had Maryland teams been there, the YJ played who was there. There is no need to make your comments, YJ beat teams that showed up. If there is a finger to point at, how about the Maryland teams who never travel (with exception of Skywalkers). Instead of commenting on YJ , why don't you question M&D who never leave MD.

Congratulations to the Yellow Jackets organization on regaining the National Champion title.

For those criticizing the competition, turn your attention to the shameful teams that didn't want to take a shot at being National Champions!

Maybe Skywalkers and M&D didn't have anyone who fit the age requirements on their "2017" team!!

Lest anyone forget, YJ teams beat Top Guns, Liberty, Steps and Elevate (twice).

The only fact that is worth repeating is that YJ won the 2014 U15 Nationals.

You mean the clubs that choose not to stick their parents with a $1,000+ tab for a novalty destination tournament that no college coaches attend? Hold the U15 tournament someplace between NYC and DC and I'll bet you'd draw some of the top MD/DC teams.

BTW, no reason to go to CO to play the teams you mentioned.

Agree completely, what a freakin waste of money to travel and NOT PLAY the best teams in the country but play our neighboring clubs that we could have met at Mitchel or Farmingdale or Stony Brook. Very disappointed in the big clubs not attending But the YJ's have to go every year because its part of their sales model.

Shameful teams? Really? You mean the teams that didn't see the need to travel to Colorado to play teams they play already on the east coast in front of 5 college coaches.

And here we go again with the overage finger pointing. There may be one or two hold backs per team on M&D and Skywalkers. My daughter's team has none. It is simply a financial decision to not go out there. Aren't the teams you mentioned that YJ beat all within an hour or so of each other? Makes sense to travel to Colorado to play them.

M&D travels plenty, National Draw, President's Cup, Lax for the Cure, Capital Cup, Champions Cup, Northern Rise. All these tournaments have more exposure than the "National Championship". Hence, what's the frigging point? At least CR has something to put on the website.

Heard a rumor today albeit an old rumor that CR sold YJ for 7.9 MILLION.

Couple of thoughts.

1. That would be a lot of money.
2. Who has 8mill to spend on a club lax club.
3. Would YJ be YJ with out CR as the head or would it slowly (or quickly) decline.
4. Would someone fill the void.

On a side note why is there such a lack of quality girls programs on long island. There seems to be a lot more boys clubs to choose from without yhe huge drop of as there is with the girls

Couple of thoughts.

1. That would be a lot of money.

3. Would YJ be YJ with out CR as the head or would it slowly (or quickly) decline.
4. Would someone fill the void.

On a side note why is there such a lack of quality girls programs on long island. There seems to be a lot more boys clubs to choose from without yhe huge drop of as there is with the girls

Actually the price you stated came with conditions, it's a ten year deal. She gets 2.9mil off the bat, and 500k a year for 10 years as long as she continues to run the club. Furthermore, they are going to expand the number of teams in most of the age divisions. The initial plan also includes a Yellow Jacket Spring league that will cost $800-$10000 in addition (6-8 games), your team will play other yellow jacket teams (they still need to work out alignment issues, but they are talking about 6 teams per age and having teams play teams in other age divisions, example 2021 1st, 2nd and 3rd team will play in a league with 2020 4,5,6th teams)

Looks like they are using the spring league as a way to generate more revenue and offset their initial investment.
