US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Team Elevate Girls Lacrosse

They paid the deposit but never paid the rest so they were removed from the schedule last minute. They were given every opportunity to pay and did not return emails.

Total lie. My daughter is on the team and they combined their 2018 Red and 2017/2018 teams for the VA tournament because some from each team could not make the trip down. Stop spreading lies.

who coached the combined team?

Some parent - like the rest of the Elevate teams. Does it matter?

They don't have parent coaches anymore

Thanks for the answer....figured it was Dave jumping in to coach the team....assisted by a parent of course

Maybe you just wish your daughter was coached by him.

If you know anything about girls lacrosse you would be lucky to have DK work with your daughter. Sour grapes for some reason. Guy knows what he is doing

So Elevate paid the deposit for their 2018 Red team at the Rise and at Capital Cup and never paid the rest of the money so the team was removed from both schedules? Odd that they wouldn't pay the rest of the money and didn't return your calls. Hmmmmmmmmm.

So I saw this thread last week but did not want to comment until I was able to gather some facts which I did this weekend in Virginia. My daughter was on Elevate 2018 Red last year and this season we and others from the Red team left for Top Guns. I stopped by to see the combined 2017/18 Elevate team play this weekend at Capital Cup. There are few girls if any 2018 kids left from last years Red team. They have the same parent coach that we had last year (so Elevate does have parent coaches), I am surprised he has stuck it out this long. I only recognized 2 parents from last years 2018 Red team and they both seem very frustrated with the summer season. One told me that the 2018 Red team started to collapse about 2 tournaments ago so they folded them into the 2017/2018 combined team. That combined team had very few girls and each week and kids from other teams would just fill in. Neither of the 2018 parents I spoke to will be returning next year. I also saw a parent of a 202 Elevate kid playing on the 2017/18 team in Virginia - that probably reflects how desperate this team was to get kids this season. There is no possible way Elevate will have enough kids to field a 2nd 2018 team next year. The only big clubs on LI that will have 2 teams in the 2018 age group next year will be YJ, TG and Liberty. I told them that TG will have a few spots on their purple team as a few kids will not be coming back. I sort of felt bad for the parents that spent so much money to go to VA with this half baked team of kids who haven't played together much of the summer.

The 2018 Red team and 2017/18 team used 2019 and 202 kids all summer long. BAFFLES ME how parents pay that much money and Elevate is not cheap to play with a group of kids that can barely form a team and aren't really committed to being there.

How come Elevate didn't send a team to the U15 Nationals? I see Liberty, YJ, TG, fl$? No Elevate?

Because they are probably going to the Inside Lacrosse Tournament in MD. There were no good teams there last year and they were able to take pictures and post them on Instagram with the girls and their t-shirts after they played 4 NON competitive games!

all Elevate teams just dropped out of IL tournament that starts tomorrow, completely blindsiding everyone.

"And then DK will use his relationship with the folks at IL to write about the kids he deems important. it won't be the first time either".

Umm isn't this one of the things that you are paying these clubs for--exposure--in addition to the training. Thank you, I guess its working and some people are getting a return then. I'd rather that than an all star team with no college contacts or relationships. Think about it troll.

The better girls with potential get touted. Not every girl on every team in every program is on path for collegiate lacrosse. And if my daughter isn't I wouldn't expect a yard to be spun that isn't true. Yes, acknowledge the organizational abilities can be painful at times and the late cancellations stink. Troll was meant as a verb-a negative activity adopted by you, not a name calling noun.

Did just the 2017 and 2018s drop out or did the 2019's as well. I have a strange feeling it was just the 2018s and 2019s and I suspect I know why when you look at the teams in each age group (hint hint).
