Thank goodness this YJ thing is over , gonna skip the final year as the coach is a terrible role model. Tournament where your uncommitted teammates are at , don’t bother going , mandatory practice ,don’t show up. Repercussions for the above is you play more than anyone else because the coach is a joke .

YJ had another poor showing at the MAC, what's going on???

The Committed Academy is a great event. If you are looking to hold players back for your own daughters benefit you are the selfish one. Club is not HS, it is pay to play and if a player chooses not to attend a tournament due to a conflict that is their business . Committed Academy is not Under Armour in terms of competition but it is high level. There is much more to this event than playing lacrosse . If your daughter has the opportunity to attend she should go. Great experience !

YJ won the 2020 and 2021 divisions and runner-up in 2025. M&D won the 2023 and 2025 with a runner-up in 2024. No other program had more than one winner/runner-up. The two best programs are still the same, YJ and M&D.

As for other top programs at the MAC, Skywalkers, Heros and Top Guns all managed just a runner-up as their best showing.

Your response is comical. First off lets not pretend that having the opportunity to attend the CA is some great honor as the only accolade you need is being committed and desperate enough to shell out the money for hope your kid gets mentioned in inside lax. The simple fact that you describe being called out for not supporting your kids current teammates as her being held back says all anyone needs to know about you and your selfish little brat. Do you think those other teams that were at full strength did not have committed kids , but those kids and parents understand what being a good teammate is about and also know they can do that money grab CA the next two years if they want .I get that some snobby self absorbed person like you does not care what the other parents opinion is of you or your kid but I can guarantee you their opinion is that you are simply gross. You had the opportunity to teach your kid what being a good teammate and friend is about but elected to teach her everything is about her , good luck with that attitude moving forward.

Good luck if you want to subject your kids to that sociopath

"Club lacrosse is a business. It is a business for the club owners, the club coaches, the players / parents, the college coaches, the people who run the tournaments etc... How people choose to spend their time and money is their business. Where and when they choose to play is their business. If the club director chooses to not take a player on a team it is their business. Parents should do what they believe is best for their child. You want people to help your child and when they put their own child first you call them selfish. You believe it is okay to put your own child first and that your opinion is superior to the opinion of others."

Pathetic response at best. Your kid is part of a team , sometimes being part of a team means not doing the selfish thing . By the way you dope the definition of selfish is essentially ' lacking consideration for others, concerned chiefly with one's own personal advantage" or doing exactly what you did. Your LI education and upbringing is laughable in that you have no idea what a selfish dope you sound like. My kid is committed and actually showed up to support her teammates and friends and got to play in front of her future college coach at the G8. Hopefully your kids future college coach was there and was wondering why your little brat did not show up to support her teammates , maybe you can tell them your kid has to do what's right for her even if its not what is best for the team because the college coaches love that attitude.

Some kids don’t attend after they have committed because they don’t want the college they committed to see that everyone else has caught up to them or passed them.

Don't let facts get in the way TG 2019 won, TG 2023 runner up.

And CR is better?? Her teams are falling apart left and right, she's already lost some of the best girls to TG and more will follow, especially in that 2023 age group. What a disaster!

Last tourney the refs had to call the tourney director at half time because they felt SS was abusing and berating her players beyond anything they had ever seen and it needed to be stopped and btw in a close game, yes even a showcase, the bottom third of the roster doesn't play a minute - that's who you want your daughter playing for?

SS doesn’t coach 2023 first of all, Thorn is 10x worse. Nasty, and only plays her favorites. A Smith plays all the girls equally, except at crunch time, he goes with the best match ups. I am a believer that you need to earn your place on the field. If you are the bottom of the roster, work harder and demand your respect.

which tournament was SS reported at? if she doesn't coach 2023, which team was it? I hear she's never there for her 2021s so does she have another?

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to find what fall 7v7 tourneys are being held?
