You obviously have no Idea what your talking about, I am also a father of a D! recruit from a different club and I can tell all you parents that think if you don't play for Y.J. you have no chance of getting your daughter to the next level, your completely wrong. Not one college coach cares who won any tournament ever. If your kid is good, coaches will come to see her no matter what pinnie she puts on her back. I am the father that keeps preaching on this site about the virtue of camps over tournament ball anyway. Club teams are only a piece of the puzzle that is equal to, but not greater than attending college summer camps. stay realistic and know where your kid should play, not everyone goes to U.N.C. , Monmouth is a good school too, keep your options open. Forget about Y.J. jones or Curico, if your kid will get more time at Liberty or Wave than go play there and be on the field.

Talk about having no idea what your talking about , you come into the YJ post so you can rant about how useless playing travel lax is . No one cares about your idiotic opinion especially when you equate Monmouth with UNC . I have seen 50 plus coaches on the sideline of individual summer lax games . Your kid went to camps where the competition level is generally very low and act as if that's money well spent .

quote "If you are truly a Blue parent and you are unhappy, why just hope? Request to go to Jones team."

Does CR accept requests from parents to have their daughter moved from one team to another in any age group?

??? What are you talking about? Someone's hitting the bottle tonight!

Isn't the point that if they chose a kid for blue then the girl can hang and should play? Shouldn't the coaches be instructed to do that? We didn't ask for blue CR put us on Blue
So roster spots #17-#25 are just cash cows? It is a fall tournament for 6th and 7th graders!

It is travel. Not obligated to play each kid equal or play them at all #17-25 are helping #1-#17 at practices. It's life, better your kid finds out now. There is always softball.

What an [lacrosse]...

What an [lacrosse] is dead on! If you anything about YJ2020 Curcio you would know that she preaches team, team, team. That's why this is an issue in the past she has not allowed her team to participate in winter leagues, outside tournaments etc. unless the ENTIRE TEAM was involved. She has also played every child in every game it may not have been equal playing time but ALL have played. On a rare occasion 1-2 may not played in a particular game (20 min) possibly an oversight or just got caught up in the game (of which I don't agree with either). This game in question 12 started and that was it not a single player on the bench got in the game for a single second and they lost they game anyway. Again I don't think anyone was asking for equal playing time but all should have played. You can't have your cake and eat it to. Curcio dropped the ball on this one.

You need to sign your daughter up for brownies then, not yj travel lacrosse.

you are the reason every team hates the Yellow nation, I didn't equate Monmouth to U.N.C. ( at Monmouth you actually have to attend class), all I said was there are other schools out there your daughter could attend. Your the kind of lunk headed parent, too ignorant to accept the experiences of others that have just finished the process before you, and for that I feel bad for your kid. In my experience on these threads I have come to realize that very rarely is it the parents of the top tier kids that come here sounding like you, calling people names and spouting off on how much better your team is than every other in lacrosse. So maybe instead of calling us names you should get off the computer and grab a stick and do something other than bragging and calling others names and help your kid. Some of us come on here to help others with what we have learned, you may not agree, and that is fine , but until you have achieved the goal, your opinion means nothing. By the way, coaches like when you attend there camps, even if the "competition level is generally very low " to see how coachable your daughter is, how well she gets along with the other girls that are both campers and on the team, and if she is a leader (i.e. willing to help the girls you consider as lower competition ) you obviously don't know this because 1. you have never been through the process before, and 2. those 50 coaches you see on the sideline have no interest in your daughter because if they did you would have received a request by one of them to attend either a camp or clinic run by them. To your daughter all I can say is , good luck kid with a parent like that you're going to need it

Actually you did equate Monmouth to UNC but are just too stupid to realize it. Do you think YJ parents want anyone "preaching" to them. You make it way too simple to make you look like a fool. Even in your moronic response you talk about college coaches inviting kids to their camps after seeing them play summer ball, yet you preach that summer ball is a waste of time. I will make it easy for you , going to camps you are limiting the exposure opportunities for your kid and have seen that backfire more often than not. Many kids have attended the same camp over and over and have not been offered anything, play a showcase tournament on a club with a good reputation and your kid will be seen playing by hundreds of different schools. Obviously your kid settled for some expensive sub par private school as your dislike for UNC makes it obvious. By the way over 90 % of the kids on the Monmouth roster played summer ball, so easy...

Who is this Dad? Does he have any real experience?

Who is this Dad? Does he have any real experience?

With all this chatter about Daddy coaches, there was talk this weekend at the tourneys about a new Daddy coach taking over the 4th 2019 team. Apparently he is a good friend of one of the blue team coach’s. It’s good to see the FAF group growing.

Pun intended? I hear her zip code is new f&f.

When talking about friends and family and the corrupt politics in lacrosse, most people envision a kid on the blue team struggling but hanging on. She is perhaps moved one team up because of some political connection. In the case you are referring to...what the [lacrosse] are you even talking about? If friends and family connections landed him and his daughter on the forth team, they need to get new friends and family.

Coaches

Highly qualified Professional staff. Comprised of HS Coaches, Collegiate players, World Cup players, All-Americans.

I think maybe this is the problem many have with the "daddy" coaches or at least it would be one of mine...I'm not paying all this money for what I can get at home. Most are looking for a step above, and why would any coach care which tier they are coaching...unless they aren't paid they same?

"Why stop there? it also says the "Yellow Jackets are a "SELECT LACROSSE CLUB" looking for the BEST players from Long Island!! which strongly implies player cuts. The yellow jackets cut probably less than 5% of all kids, they just keep making additional teams"



The Yellow Jackets still have much better coaching as a whole than any other club on Long Island and would stack their coaches up against any on a national level. As far as Elite players , there is no comparison with any other club on Long Island. TG still 2nd best but the gap has gotten worse. There is not one age group that a reasonable argument can be made that TG top team beats YJ top team. Its comical how the Select makes you so angry.Smart move by TG taking their coaches bios down from the web site, those things were an embarrassment.
