Wow, a lot of smack talk from a loser!

Yes you should stop talking[/quote

I know you are but what am I

Mt. Sinai wins 12-3

UA tryouts start today. I'm sure they will be interesting.....

Interesting to say the least, some of the most talented won't make it and some that do will have you wondering how in the [lacrosse]. It's all who you know and political at best.

Congratulations to those selected as Newsday all Long Island recipients! Looking forward to the second team players, so much talent!

Can someone explain why CR was on the field with clipboard in hand clearly evaluating and selecting her YJ girls yesterday at the UA tryouts? UA definitely needs to revamp the selection process. There should be no LI club or team coaches evaluating or coaching at this event, and definitely not if they have a child also trying out. Some of these coaches insist on coaching year after year to guarantee their kid deserving or not a spot on the team e.g The highlight coach who also has a kid trying out,Politics at it's best. Several conflicts of interests at this event and the politics are blatantly on display. Corrigan sports needs to do something about the LI process as its turning kids away in droves. So many signed up and decided to skip this event and those that did show up already know the odds are not in their favor as the selections were made way before the tryout. Maybe they should have coaches and evaluators from different regions and maybe more kids will sign up. This is why Maryland has LI beat all the time, same leadership=same results.

It has been ever thus. Search on this site and you will see. A few years back, people did contact Corrigan with their concerns, myself included, and you can see it made no difference.

This was our first experience at the UA tryouts. Let me preface this by saying the young ladies are very talented and there are obviously some outstanding players who truly belong on the team. However, the fact that the email said they will have a great mix of coaches is such a blatant falsity. On field 2 you had CR and the Mt Sinai coach. Some of the other evaluators were walking around with YJ backpacks. I fully understand some of the better players are from that organization but there are others just as deserving. With DG from Liberty there I would guess the team will be 85% YJ, 10% Liberty and 5% other...now I know why so many girls do not show up.

Same thing happened in MD for the middle schoolers with Brine. Don't waste your money

Honestly you people sound pathetic ,stop whining. You are complaining prior to the teams being selected. YJ does not even have anyone coaching the teams yet you come on here acting like they have some crazy control over the process. Let me know any select team/award/ recognition process that is not flawed in some manner, its life get over it.
They changed the AA selection process this year because they said its been purely political and flawed in past years yet the first thing they decide is if you were selected by the biased /flawed process last year you automatically make it this year, how does that make sense. You cant take any of these awards or select teams too serious if you get picked or you don't.
Any college coaches at the tryouts.

WOW! All of these posts were made prior to the "call-backs" being announced, so it doesn't seem like anyone is giving the process a chance to work.

There were evaluators from YJ, Liberty, Elevate and Igloo that I saw. I couldn't identify the others. It looked like a diverse bunch to me.

My 2020 was not called back, but had a very good experience. Congratulations to the kids who ultimately make the UA team. There was a tremendous amount of talent on the Cantiague Park fields for the last two evenings!

Yeah ok CR niice post. A great experience for your kid? Who are you kidding! You don't have kids you just use others as pawns to make a lot of $. And the one from Liberty is the same way. 2 peas in a pod!

Welcome to Lax 2016!

The sport is corrupt and run by big money clubs. US Lax is a gutless worthless governing body. Tournament seedings are rigged by the big guys and everyone breaks rules on roster eligibility.

It is all 100% about getting recruited for players and about making money for everyone else (clubs, camps, all star teams etc etc )and that's it.

If you are a purest you don't have a chance!

How many girls "travel" programs are there on LI?
