Liberty is definitely NOT one of the better programs. The majority of the girls in the program are from Manhasset so make no mistake, Liberty is a Manhasset program. The program is rife of nepotism as well - there are mommy coaches and DG promotes players such as her niece and her friends. Sounds like the school district from Manhasset has finally caught in as well if the speculation about her dismissal as head coach is true - where there is smoke, there is fire. I would avoid this program especially one with this type of culture and dynamic. Not healthy for you or your daughter.
That is SO not true. My daughter played on fl$ for a year, Eleavte for a year and Liberty the last 4 years and we are NOT from Manhasset. The coaching at fl$ and Elevate PALES in comparison to Liberty. DG is an amazing coach which is exactly why Manhasset has excelled as a program for so many years and will continue to do so. The Liberty 2019 Team is one of the tops in the country hands down. We NEVER in 4 years had a parent coach which I cant say about the other clubs we were on prior to this - the other clubs are filled with parent PAL coaches.
I cant speak about fl$ as I am not familiar with the girls side except that we played them once and the team wasn't very strong. We too left Elevate 3 years ago and have not looked back. We still have friends there that stayed and they forever regret being there and said it was just too late for them to leave so they miserably stuck it out. We had a PAL parent coach at Elevate as our main coach for 2 years. He never played lax in college (nice guy) but was not nearly as strong as the coaches at Liberty. He ran the same PAL drills he runs with his 5th graders. My daughters Liberty coach played at Carolina and she is just amazing! My daughter has improved ten fold since she has been at Liberty AND NO she doesnt live in Manhasset!
