It's the start of the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group

Why is this 2020 thread so quiet? What's going on with this age group here on Long Island?

2021 has taken the mantle as the psychotic age group going forward

Ha ha now that's funny!

I think lots of the unhappy B and C players have started to throw in the towel and the age group will shrink again. Mom and Dad realizing that they have been sold a bill of goods. Their kids don't love it, the parents cant force it and a summer of expensive travel just isn't worth it.

"A" parents are usually quiet until they start jumping up and down about their kids verbal

Wow, that's a deep theory but I think it was something a bit more simple like the topic thread wasn't activated until yesterday. Look at the number of views vs posts. Would be hard to believe that many people could look yet resist saying something.

Actually, both the 2020 and 2021 threads were made active on 8/8.

Have you looked at the 2022's thread? May be the craziest, especially since YJ isn't the best team in that age division on LI there are some teams that beat them.

Are you sure? I know the 2023 age groups are a weak mess, did not know 2022 had lost to a LI team. Who did they lose to?

Meant 2023... Sorry

CR will fix the 2023 age group. First order of business is to draw the TG girls to her program.

too late 2023 girls are already leaving and going to TG

See what I mean, sorry I brought the crazy 2023's to this thread.

Many in our circle are pulling the plug and not trying out for next year. Anyone else seeing that? Parents realizing kids aren't the strongest and using the entry to HS and all the academic honors stuff as an excuse. It didn't help that we had a very unbalanced summer schedule and their kids weren't played a lot.

Do lots of kids usually drop out as they enter HS?
