Why would any parent want their daughter to be taught how to play like a thug? Plenty of other great clubs who get their daughters recruited AND teach them how to respect the game.
Simply put people want to play YJ because they have the best teams on Long Island without question. They also have the best coaches on Long Island with out question. The shine has come off Shannon Smith as a coach , so far she has done nothing to improve women's lacrosse at Hofstra and her teams at TG are now on the slide down to Liberty level. The funny thing about all these losers bashing YJ on here is they seem desperate to try and tear YJ down when in reality they just convince the YJ parents that they are exactly where they want to be.
Best coaches...according to who? What makes a great coach? Great players or the ability to actually coach...easy to say they are coaches..how do they manage a game..how do they manage adolescent players and their mental state..etc...NOT well from this sideline...don't measure it by Wins...coaches teach and mentor...don't see that going on
This is always a discussion that comes up in these threads. Everyone always seems to dismiss the YJ and TG coaches. Somehow the two best programs on LI have the worst coaches? Then the reasoning must be that they just attract the best talent hands down. I can see the argument of bad coaches for TGs as I do not think the coaching model they employ works one bit, but they still manage to beat most others from LI, therefore it must be they attract better talent, or at least used to when they first started. As far as the YJs go, yes they absolutely have sone horrible coaches who are just lucky to have some talent backing them up, but definitely they have a fair number of excellent coaches as well, sort of a crap shoot depending on the age.
TG is NOT the 2nd best program on LI anymore......... most of their age groups have slid and dropped drastically.
you can't say that until the summer tournanments are over...
