Another $40 bucks going YJ's way for the recruiting seminar in August. Cant she give anything back for free?

Recruiting seminars are a complete money grab and waste of time. If the player is good, and has grades they will be recruited. Period. If you want to know about the process, ask someone who went through it. No need to charge money for that. It should be a courtesy of the club, after-all, it is in their interest to get kids recruited.

Legacy does them for free

Wow! Another poor showing for YJ teams at the National tournament, which was actually a joke because there aren’t even any good teams there. What’s going on??

Is that a fact? Empire girls do it as well. US Lacrosse needs follow soccer as a template on how to run a legitimate nationwide program

Is it true that the NXT parents got kicked off the sideline? Aren't they running the event?

Igloo and Nxt have overage kids. Shame on US Lacrosse

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.

Sounds like another whining 2023 parent who needs to make excuses for why the team can't win games. Heres a clue: The better LI girls are on OTHER teams. YJ just lacks talent in this age group. Thorn and Daddy coaches faces= Priceless!

All the M&D committed kids were at G8. That 2020 YJblue team is all about upping one another. It’s not a matter of getting other kids recruited. It is about going to a event you signed up for. Biggest my kid is better than your kid parents around

I really don't know what these people are talking about...Igloo beat Thorn and it was a great game...Lots of talented girls on both teams...Jesters looked great out there and Wright's team put up a good fight, and but were definetly outmatched on the draw by a few of the big girls on that team...They usually don't get to play the top teams so good for them! Oregon was great and so was NXT...it is what it is...it was a good tournament. Hopefully it can expand and add more teams.

There are clubs that have brought in older "guest players", who are technically of age, to play at the US Lacrosse Nationals in the past. YJ certainly did it in 2017. The YJ parents on the 2021 team will even admit it, if you ask them. All tournaments / clubs need to use the same age system. There also needs to be a stick check, and player ID card checks before each game.

Yea had to or they would have lost

Did it in 2018 too.

YJ live in glass houses, then throw rocks. Typical. They really need for stop complaining and making excuses for losing. "They're older, bigger, blah blah blah" The fact is that YJ's have become much less competitive with the top teams.

Did it in 2018 too.

You must be mistaken, you can't use guest players at Nationals it's against the rules.


Roster Requirements for US Lacrosse Nationals Eligibility Rules - U.S. Teams

2. All players must compete with their team or club on a regular basis. Minimum requirements are that players must compete with their team/program for at least two tournaments in the preceding 12 months leading up to US Lacrosse Nationals, or in a seasonal league.

9. Any team in violation of the above roster rules will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player has participated and any title received by the team.

Honestly you are all pathetic. If they used kids who were too old to play then call them out on it by complaining to US lacrosse and expose them, if not then shut up. Then the YJ hater above is just silly " much less competitive" okay.
