Very well said. At the time of the Hofstra tournament, only the kids that played together last year on either of the 2019 teams or kids that played in the same town programs were known entities of who would be on the TG 2020 Black team. Several kids were already committed to playing on a separate team "Lady Rebels" when this team was entered into that tournament. All of the girls that will be on the 2020 team got together before and after the game cheering each other on, catching up from the summer and even wishing one of the girls a happy birthday. So, for anyone to think that there was anomosity between the girls is completely wrong.
At the end of the day, we all have options to play for whatever program we choose to have our kids try out for.
Yes, tournament teams have become very competitive Yes, there is competition between programs Yes, kids at this age develop at different timess
Let's allow the kids to build friendships, play lacrosse at a competitive level and develop as great scholar athletes. We are all part of a Long Islanda Lacrosse family, like it or not. We should be focused on making sure that Long Island teams are well represented and be proud when we complete across the east coast. We would be much better served teaching our kids this amazing game rather than tear each other apart on this web site or any other for that matter.
