Stop...they are lateral moves and others will fill their void...likely improving chemistry along the way. Grass is grass on either side of the fence. Everyone knows TG best girl is leaving, a few from Lomo and Janelli. And in some cases addition by subtraction. A tired, overplayed girl with uber pressure is a falling star...

Great post and so true.....ultimately I would leave it up to my kid. My only suggestions to my children when it comes to club teams and college is one thing....go to a place where you can play. Who wants to travel to MD in July to watch other kids play? I know a lot of people say you have to work harder and beat that kid out, but sometimes it’s not realistic. The journey ends when you’re 22. Get on the field! Build relationships and most importantly, earn your degree. Don’t worry about divisions. No one making millions playing lax. The most an overwhelming majority will make is 75 bucks for a private lax session.

Not sure who you mean with the best girl leaving. They don’t have one dominant player. I saw them 2 times this fall and my daughters friend plays on the team. They got some good players but no one looked like a freak.

What position does she play?

Midfield.

TG parent here......if you asked 6 parents who the best middie on the team is, you would probably get 6 different answers. Same with attack and defense. It’s a very balanced team. They’ve had players so many different players step up in different games. Either way, I hope we don’t lose a great player.

WHAT A WEEKEND!! SS training 4 of the top girls from YJ hoping to get them to come to TG, and TG best player is leaving? Kids move around all the time.....SS training the YJ kids is a little far fetched.

Why is it far fetched. She was the best women’s player ever hands down

Jen Adams say hello

While Shannon was a fabulous player , she was never considered the best women’s player ever. It’s arguable that she was even the best player ever from Long Island.
Apuzzo
Ortega
Hoeg
Just to mention a few that have all played in the last few years from LI

SS is definitely one of the best players of all time. I just find it hard to believe that a D1 college coach, who’s one of the all time greats would be sneaking around trying to poach 13 year old girls. But you could be right....anything goes in the world of youth sports!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Shannon Smith train some Janelli girls at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Bunch of sheep, go tear your teams apart looking for the mole while the whole time it’s some keyboard cowboy attacking your team’s insecurities and inadequacies.

Thanks for clearing that up! The rumors are going to always be there. Sad thing is when coaches bring over a group of girls and they all make the team or they all start even though they all don’t deserve it. Happens all the time. If that Janelli crew goes to TG they will all walk into starting positions. No questions asked. Happens at every program. They bring whole teams over and throw the leftovers on the lower levels.

Best player of all time? Could be an argument who best WB player was. Some good ones from WB. Appuzzo and smith both tewarten winners.
