This thread is for all thoughts concerning the Schoolgirls tryout and subsequent banter that's sure to follow.

To answer the posters question about who runs the schoolgirls tryout the answer is the NY chapter of US Lacrosse, the LIMLF (Long Island Metro Lacrosse Foundation).

For those not familiar, can someone please provide some background info on this.

What coaches will be there?

lets push this topic back to the top, anyone else sneak around and watch a little.. I did.
I'm guessing about 25-30 spots up for grabs
(there were 23- 2015 players on last years roster, and a few girls on U-19 didnt tryout due to restrictions)

2015 girls do not play schoolgirls for grades 9 - 11

At least 12 freshmen there, but looked like a lot of juniors

Right..sorry if i was'nt clear.. the 23 2015 players from last years roster are the open spots for this year assuming that the 2016's and 2107' who made it last year tried out and will make a team again.

I think he was pointing out that the 2015 from last year cannot play this year so the spots they occupied are now open.In the past all I heard was it was a rigged event for YJ blah blah, is that still the opinion.

As far as one club having an over representation the LIMLF has the following in place regarding the evaluators:

For every 4 selectors there can be 1 club coach selecting (club representation MUST be evenly distributed and only club coaches that are CURRENT high school coaches are eligible).


I think this should at least avoid some of the past "rigging"

I personally did not see Mrs C.R. - but that doesnt mean she wasnt there or involved

seriously? She is just a text away. Anything on LI goes through her

Wow you know that many players that just by looking at them you can tell their grade.

C R is not for kids

just another resume building political money grab for clubs and coaches and the 100th line on players bios. There is an all star team or invitational every weekend of the year. Brine, UA on and on and on. Even after girls commit, the parents keep dolling out tons of cash running all over the country.
