US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2020 Fall 2012/Spring 2013

At that age most of the talented girls are not even playing on the town teams anymore. Some PAL teams keep together and can mop up on the rest of what's left to play against, but many of the girls have moved on to travel, school and other tournament teams leaving the fustrations of town ball far behind. I made my older girls stick through the PAL to the end, but will not with my youngest. I'm sure each town is a different story, but anyway you slice it, the competition is way watered down, even the strong teams have many girls who have no ides how to defend or even catch the ball. It is a great introduction league, but the time certainly comes when you need to move on.

that was the purple team which carries a lot of 4th graders. The 2020 Black play in a 5th and 6th grade division and are winning by large margins.

Should be a good summer travel season. Looking forward to YJ A vs TG A matchup.

Agreed but will probably never get to see the matchup, seems to be the way it is.

What is this responding and/or referring to? Top Guns?

Sorry, responding to post 23277 which stated " I have watched the TG teams playing at in line 1 against town teams in their own age winning games by 20 or more goals although it seems the 2020 TG team actually lost to a town team of equal age."

Should be a good summer travel season. Looking forward to YJ A vs TG A matchup.

Ask your program director to arrange both teams showing up at the Lacrosse-By-3 Summer Tournament on July 5th/6th or the Long Island Beach Bums Fourth Annual Babylon LAX Blast on July 13th. Both tournaments would be more than happy to schedule a friendly between the Top Guns 2020 and Yellow Jackets 2020 teams.

Both clubs are going to the National Draw and ASE they could play there.

Last year at the National Draw the 2018 YJ were playing the 2018 TG game was canceled due to lightning. This year lets see 2020 TG vs 2020 YJ seen them both play and IMO the YJ are better .

Both clubs are going to the National Draw and ASE they could play there.

not going to happen - national draw they will be in the same bracket as 2019's (and the 2021's who really have no business leaving long island) and ASE is a showcase that is controlled by cr - both tournaments saw a lot scheduling changes last summer less than a week before the were played in an effort to avoid tg (who granted has everything to gain and nothing to loss) at ASE half of the yj games were against other yj teams, they could have stayed home and done that at mitchell field the following week and saved a lot of time, travel and money

Or they could come back to the elite showcase and play YJ teams like they used to.

Your funny, your TG 2016 team and your 2019 had the chance to play YJ and did not want to.Granted the 2019 age would have been a scrimmage but still could have at least competed against one another but the TG coaches wanted nothing to do with it, ask them why? Again your 2016 team could have played at the beach bum tourney with YJ there but stayed home instead.

The landscape has changed.

If they wanted to play YJ teams then enter them into a tournament that has predominantly YJ teams such as the elite showcase.If either of the clubs had a burning desire to play against one another it would be easy.Look at the other teams schedule then enter your team into those tournaments especially the championship tournaments.Both teams seem to avoid playing one another but eventually will.

Both clubs are in the National Draw and the ASE. Great opportunity for the clubs to face off.

Last year it was the most ridiculous thing, both clubs at several tournaments and there is no doubt match ups were avoided. It must actually have been a pain in the a$$ for tournament directors to schedule around what are clearly club directors wishes. If I were a club director I would demand that none of my club teams play each other in pool play instead of avoiding competition. Drive 5 hours in traffic, spend two days in hotels to see game after game of YJ teams Playing YJ teams. You can do that for free at home, it really is a joke.

CR brings 30 teams and $50,000+ to any given tournament, don't you think that should buy her a little special treatment?

if you're paying any attention at all you would know that is not the case, several schedules were changed at the last minute last summer so yj wouldn't have to play tg teams, as was said earlier nothing good can come of it for yj so why risk exposing themseleves unless they're certain that they can win. yj has 13 teams in the 2019-2021 age group and none of them played against a tg team last year, do you really think that was a coincidence, last year there were plenty of yj parents complaining about traveling to ASE to play most of there games against other yj teams, i guess that is the downside of having 4-5 elite teams in each age group - there's no one to play but yourseives!

Please tell us the schedules that were changed ,the only schedule change I remember actually put YJ against TG at the 2018 age, so stop with the b.s..Feel free to approach your TG 2019 coach and ask him if YJ 2019 asked to play anytime, anywhere and why they refused.If you were paying attention at all the last 3 years you would realize TG have never had a team win a competitive tournament.How did your TG team do playing YJ this past weekend at the sports hub.Could be wrong but was not very competitive.You top guns keep winning most of your games against town teams in your own age group so you can tell each other how good you are.

YJ doesn't have a team with a winning record at the Sportds Hub...

apparently you have a reading comprehension issue, it's been all over BOTC since last summer and currently has been sighted several times as well - National Draw and ASE were both dramatically changed at the last minute - FACT. Pour yourself a big glass of yj koolade and start scrolling through BOTC. You will also notice that YJ parents were livid that at ASE that they were playing at least two , if not three of their four games againsy other yj teams - FACT. it's ok, you get to play in 2-3 one day tournaments against town teams and play yourselves at ND and ASE - time and money well spent! babylon blast champions!

I did not make the quote above, but I decided to chime in. The post is not "hatorade" against 10 year olds. It is directed at the "directors" who have adjusted the schedules in the tournaments. Pretty clear.
