Really there is none. Your kid will probably gets big time academic money and the weaker academic lacrosse kid might get some athletic money. Give me the money for brains anyday over athletics. Having said that the true winners are the ones that have both but those kids are rare

Okay I'll bite ... Harvard, Princeton and Stanford.
I promise you your kid isn't "probably" going to any of those schools because for a kid without a hook, it isn't probable for even the best students. So I don't get your point. The edge is that my kid is going to get to attend this type of institution for her college education, and yours likely isn't.

And here we go again. Everyone on here seems to be going to an Ivy or Stanford. Stop the madness. Judging by the meatheads rooting on their daughters on our team I'm having a tough time thinking there are a bunch of 100 GPA kids on the team

You don't need 100 GPA to get into those schools if you r a good lax player. try 92 maybe. and 1300 SATs ... still very good students, but not ridiculous. But you also need to be a pretty good lax player.

Lets hear it for the dreamers.

25 Top lax programs x 8 Recruits a class = 200 players

200 players, not in your HS, not in your county, not in your state, but in the whole damn country.

congrats and good luck to anyone that has a top 200 player in the US.

For the rest of us, our girls will be fine

There r 111 D1 girls programs. At least 25% of them, if not more, are extremely difficult academic institutions to get into without something like lax. It goes way beyond Ivies and Stanford. I won't make a complete list but how about Georegetown, Davidson, Colgate, William & Mary, Richmond, Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Boston College, Hopkins, Navy, Vanderbilt, Army, Michigan, Bucknell, Virginia ... plus more. All great schools, and all hard to get into. If lax can help a kid get to one of these type of places, I think it's a huge win for the kid.

But the top 25 D1 academic schools aren't all top 25 lax programs. There are lots of great academic institutions w lax programs below #25. And yes the girls will all be fine.

If that is true , why you on a lax site telling us about how smart your kid is? Go find a science or chess club site!

My daughter is an awesome lacrosse player and after 4 years of getting 85's in an average HS, I want to send my daughter to a school where everyone else has a 100+ average and then I want her to play lacrosse for five hours a day between practice, meetings and gym training. Then I also want her to forego the major of her dreams and take her coaches choice major of basket weaving. All this sounds like a good recipe for success.

Ha. Your sarcasm is off the mark because you even contradict yourself. This is the problem with all of u who knock these talented kids. First it's a girl w 85s in average high school, but then she has "the major of her dreams" not basket weaving. Which is it? Is she a great student or not? And guess what, maybe that hypothetical daughter will surprise you, and actually rise to the occasion. It is, after all, much harder to get into these schools than to actual stay there. She will learn from her academic support staff and her peers how to become a better student, stretch herself, and graduate a much more accomplished and well-rounded person than she was when she got there. So yeah, maybe lax helped her get somewhere her academics alone couldn't, but I'll bet on your kid, even if you won't!

B HS students don't become engineers? lawyers, work in medicine? There are a lot of law schools that aren't Georgetown or Northwestern. So the B student can still get an A degree as opposed to basket weaving degree playing at a school over their academic head. Good luck to all

It used to discussions based around SS. Nowadays it looks like everyone has accepted that fact that it really is not about her anymore, it is BS who owns and runs the club. I think he just needed her and her name to get it launched. Consider that plan a success, club seems to have a headstrong following at this point. I remember the first two to three years of the club's existence, they came on strong and had a couple age groups that were instantly competitive nationally. Club is still pretty good now but certainly has fallen off competitively. But it is great for LI lax to have choices and choices at all levels including all the other clubs that popped up inspired by TG success.

Who else thought YJ tryouts were a waste of time, if you want to call it a tryout. They basically told girls on A team to go over there and relax. This is because girls are wearing their own pinny, so everyone knows who is who, and new girls get a different color. Meanwhile girls new to the program barely got a chance to show the could play. Scrimmage was about 15 min, girls got in maybe 5 minutes total, on a [lacrosse] field. Head coaches drinking their coffee on the side barely watching the girls. Ended 20 min early, so a little over an hour to evaluate 60+ girls. To truly evaluate the girls, they should break up into 4 random teams and full field scrimmage for an hour, rotating the teams. Just don't get it? Is this how the tryout is normally run?

When will people embrace that it's a money grab? 98% of the weasel deals and decisions are made before tryouts. The poaching, stealing, brokering is all done before the girls show up. I just hope your daughter got her ball back!

CR never goes to work the Monday after tryouts, she's home counting your cash

Ok. This sounds a little wacky, tryouts should not be conducted with girls bringing their "pinny" sounds more like remember me.. Instead of having a fair tryout too the girls both old and new. But I guess it wouldn't be any other way. Parents did the 2020's participate in tryouts today?

Fair or not, that's the way it's been done for a long time..it's hard to crack into an A team at a tryout.. Known kids from other programs can do it I guess, but for the other 99% you should expect to play a season on the B team before you'll have a real shot at the A team.

Does it really matter what team your on? YJ will be stuck at that BS tourney (money grab) at Mitchell field while all the competitive teams are across the turnpike at the Hofstra tournament. If I was a Div 1 coach, where would I go to watch?

Maryland, certainly won't see anything worth driving for outside of Mitchell Field. "Competitive" that's a good one !

That tells me your TG team must be really bad and have essentially no talent. If what you say is true how does YJ have the best teams on Long Island.

I take exception to that, we got pushed off to the last group where my daughter lit up the overmatched girls continuously and no matter what she did, she didn't even get noticed at all.
It was pretty rough too say the least, she was jumping through hoops to get to the white jersey and get noticed and not a sniff.
She plays all winter with the top girls and doesn't claim to be as good, but she should have been taken seriously.
