Information, discussions, and questions covering the teams, clubs, and players in the Girls 2016 age group can be posted here.

May as well add threads for all the girls years at this point, 2017, 2018. Plus 2019 teams will be forming right now to play in next summer tournaments.

The top teams in theis age group are???

during this past tournament season I had the opportunity to see the following teams play:
Topguns 2016
Suffolk County Allstars 2016
LI Express 2016

I did not see the Yellow jackets 2016 although I saw the results of several top tournanments in which they finished on top.

Also I know tha the LI Express bet both the Topguns and Allstars at Best of the beach

Anyone know the results of a YJ and Express match-up?

What about Liberty? Are they competitive in this age baracket?

Top teams in this age group wouold be
1) YJ blue have not lost to a team in their own age group in tournaments that have playoffs ie when teams are playing it to win.
2)Express, Suffolk county all-stars,Wantagh travel team, all are about on same level
3) yellow jackets gold, Top Guns,
4) Liberty
Yes Yellow jackets and express did play I believe it was at lax for the cure semi finals with YJ winning in a short game by about 3 goals

To the persons on the other threads declaring suffolk all-stars to be the best having beaten the yj blue 2x in the past year, give me a break. If you ever beat them in a championship tournament then I will give you some credit but when you played them at the draw you were shut out 0 goals. I do not think I have ever seen any Yj team get shut out. By the way how did you do this weekend at hofstra when you played a team made up of yj blue players in the last game of the day.By the way that team that beat you with ease had 0 subs (the same number of goals you had at the draw)and was missing many of their better players while you guys were at full strength.

The YJs lost to Suffolk County All Stars, deal with it and stop with the excuses

The Yankees lost 2 games to the Mets this year! That doesn't mean the Mets are a better team! and I am a Met fan! Suffolk All stars are not as good as YJ blue, but they have some good players. Sometimes the better team doesn't win! Especially in Girls lax and the ultra subjective rules!but a win is a win. Congrats!

How did you do against yj at the national draw,how did you do against a team of Yj from only 2 towns this weekend at Hofstra.How did you do against the starting line of yj gold this past weekend I heard it was 4-o then they put in the back-ups. When you beat the YJ blue team where the kids from YJ playing out of position the whole game, I have yet to here one scas parent claim that the Yj players were not all out of position.

congrats to 2016 Allstars, way to go

because yj blue dont play a lot of teams in there age, they usually play down when they play a long island team, they want to spare the embarassment if they lose. And everybody says this, this is not one persons opinion. at the tournaments the buzz is , what younger team is Yj blue beating up on.

Not quite sure what you are talking about. I have never seen the yj blue teams play younger teams unless on occasion they play other yj teams who happen to be playing in older divisions.

I have a child who played for express and have played both yj blue and suffolk all-stars. We beat suffolk all-stars and we were beaten by yj blue . In my opinion the better players on yj blue were the more athletic and probably the best players I had seen in that age group. The all-stars may have been better coached running more plays etc. but would be surprised if all-stars would beat them if both teams going all-out.My mediocre town team beat the all-stars in the indoor league last winter but I would not assume the same would happen when all-stars are trying their hardest.Yj blue starters do seem to be physically larger and I have heard that a good number are hold backs but do not know that for a fact.

First let me state some facts. I have a child on 2016 yj gold.Yes I watched the delaware game in which all-stars beat yj blue by 1 goal.Yes the yj played out of their normal positions the entire game ,defense playing attack ,attack playing defense, both goalies playing equal time etc..Yj down by 1 goal with short time not even pressuring ball.yes suffolk all-stars did beat yj blue,no yj blue did not put their best effort forward . Allstars keep claiming they are better do to this victory , only problem is I watched the two teams play at national draw when both teams were actually trying , all-stars got shut down and had trouble even getting shots off , complete domination score could have been even worse. In my opinion you should have enjoyed your so called victory with out gloating because now they may play to win at every game.
