The timing of the event needs to be changed. This year and last during Nassau and Suffolk high school awards dinner.

This is so very true for Nassau/Suffolk game and UA tryout. Watched my kid play in his 3 UA games tonight 27 min each. In that time there were a few kids that just stood out. So of the 3 teams his team played I would say 6 or 7 studs. Most were midfield players. They got the most runs and opportunities. I really felt bad for our defense and goalies because our face off guy was really good and barely lost a draw. Play was in the offensive zone most of the games. There were some players who I saw play that did absolutely nothing in their games. I know them well and they have been committed for a while that will 100% get picked. Yet in the time I watched them play they did nothing better or worse than any other good player on the field. It's a shame because there are some very talented players that performed just as good or better than a number of the kids that will be picked for the UA team. Its too bad that half the kids doing the evaluating were just [lacrosse] on the sidelines rather than watching the games. MC and Lynott were even better to watch. Lol[/quote]

The same thing happens in other regions for UA. Look at coaches and look at roster. South Region over half the players are in one way or another affiliated with coaches ( HS or Club) , not that they arent good players. Just that there are just as good if not better players who did better at tryout games.. Teams are predetermined with a few openings. Most of the time you are trying out for 5-8 openings in my opinion. The rest is picked ahead of time.
One team had no face off guy while others had two or three? The attack with no faceoff guy had limited action every game. Of course D, Defensive minded Middies and Goalie got lots of action. When UA sees a glaring mistake on a team, why dont rectify it??

If you are on the dais, go to the dinner and you can still make the team. If you are sitting at a table, skip the dinner and go to the tryout. Pretty simple.

Because they already have your money, it's done

We sent it directly to Ty Xanders and it worked

Jealous loser.

Thanks for your concern, my son couldn't do any better than he has, top school, plenty of $. Time to take a step back and enjoy playing the game. You can keep writing your checks if it makes you happy, tool

I disagree, UA and The nassau /suffolk game are very different. for the N/S game each HS coach can go and advocate for their player and if the kid plays real well he will be chosen. If your coach doesn't show, you definitely have less of a chance of making it. For UA it is the same guys picking every year with no input from outside coaches. If they don't know who you are going into it , u have no chance.

My son, my son, my son, his team, his team, his team, my son, my son, my son...

What about your? What have you done? Congrats to your son. He would be embarrassed by your chest thumping and bragging on him. Act like you've been there. Oh yeah, you probably haven't.

You disagree but in your rebuttal you just concurred with what I said. Club coaches for UA and high school coaches Nassau/Suffolk picking the players.

Then why keep going to recruiting events? Liar alert!

Exactly. Not a true representation of talent. The Brine tryouts had people from the organization picking talent.

Has to be!!!!!!!!

Duh??? He plays with an entire team, several of whom are still uncommitted also gives his coach a chance to see him. Any other questions pie face?

He's lying

Some kids love to travel and play the best competition during the summer. It can be a lot of fun playing with and against future teammates.

Anybody have the Nassau roster?

Who won't the showcase at Farmingdale?

[quote=Anonymous]Who won't the showcase at Farmingdale?

Nassau won all but 2020 where they were blown out at every position

Loser Suffolk 2018 rising seniors was won by SUFFOLK 9-6 over Nassau

Suffolk 2018 Rising Seniors was won By SUFFOLK 9-6 over NASSAU

Ha! As many have said on here: FL$ tool bag coach picked the wrong kids. Catered to the Manhasset/CSH daddies and got embarrassed.

Suffolk won the rising seniors 9-6.

That's unfortunate, could have been a great game if the best kids were picked at each position. Too many excellent players did not make the team that absolutely should have.

Parents line the pockets of the coaches who then pick their kids at these events. The club coaches also run showcases and make sure their own players always make the all star teams. How is a kid player of the game in every game he plays but then not make your all-star team? Answer: He plays for a competing club. The parents of the players getting preferential treatment think this all means their sons are destined for greatness. They strut around telling everyone who'll listen that their son was invited to this showcase, all star team or whatever. But then the kids get on the field and are exposed. How come the only all star teams they ever make are at events run by their own club? How come every "prestigious" team they make has their club coach as an evaluator or coach involved in picking the team? This is exactly what happened with the Nassau 2020 team. The only problem is Daddy can't buy you a win or make you more athletic. It is all "pay to play" now and really just a total joke.

Nonsense, the teams are based off of the try out, has nothing to do with the season.

the college coaches know its a joke and purely political and that is why they attend the first 2 tryouts to see all the kids not just the finial 20. its a shame that the pompus HS coaches think its about them when it should be about the kids. too many kids from suffolk and nassau didnt get a fair chance. they played well but for one reason or another they get cut. dont put too much weight in making the final 20. tell the kids to go and play their hearts out and it will be noticed. the high school coaches have complete control and they are not interested in doing the right thing., Just promote the kids who pay to play in their travel program. my kid made the team so dont think Im disgruntled... just stating the obvious.

So obviously your kid did not make it. The Nassau Suffolk game had about 60 coaches attending including the HC from duke and Hofstra. Get over it green eyes guy.

LOL!!! your joking right. There were players that were selected to certain positions solely based on the name on the front of the jersey not on the back. Please dont assume people are naive. People are 100% keen to the fact that these events are mostly rigged by those evaluating the event. Most of the time its the coaches of certain programs that push their players through to the final team.

East Islip Lacrosse is back. Watch out. Fr58Cx

LOL, no your kid sucks, too bad! Hahahaha

Under Armour Team : 90% Express kids. Total BS. This is achanny's way of "trying" to show college coaches that his travel organization has the best kids. So not true. He is such a tool.

2018 Suffolk "A"

Ward Melville and Smithtown West will be tough, the edge goes to Ward Melville but West will be right there.

Who else ?

Commack?
Connetquot?
Northport?
Smithtown East?

Will there be a surprise team?

UA Command team has 8 kids from Team 91, 7 from Express, 4 from Legacy and 3 from other clubs/teams...

where are the All County players listed? thx
