What's the chance of a Top Gun 2018 Black player trying out for YJ and making the top 2018 Blue Team? Possible? Do new players make this team?

Likely depends on the player. A player leaving with the writing on the wall for 2018 would likely not make it, settling to the second YJ team is a huge step down. Make sure you have a landing spot before you jump.

Second YJ team is not a huge step down and is in fact about equal to some of your top TG teams. Also if they are leaving because the writing is on the wall ie going to get moved to purple the the 2nd YJ team is in fact a step up.

Let me see if I can help you out.Coach Carro has been around and coaching girls lacrosse for a long time, add to his resume varsity and college coaching experience and the fact that his YJ team has had the most success of any in the age group on long island and it speaks for itself. Coach Bert has been around even longer and just this past year has had more success at coaching than any of your TG coaches ie state championship.Go to your TG site and take a peak at your 2019 head coaches resume if you want a laugh, exactly what backround do you need to coach over at TG a high school degree?
"He left making a stamp on the West Babylon program" now that's an accomplishment. Too funny

Yj coach from lindy ?

What will we find?

I also completely disagree. Top Guns are the National Champs!

Which year of graduation won the national championship , I believe at least three YJ teams won the national draw with many of their ( if not most) 2nd level teams placing above your TG black teams. When comparing graduation year teams which is what all but one tournament are based on there is no comparison YJ is clearly better at each and every age which is the reason so many of TG top players want to switch over.

You guys are crazy with all these useless comparisons...who cares? As long as your daughter is happy, and is in the right place, what difference does it make. YJ definitely has a better track record, but TG is a much younger program, so you can't even really correctly compare them at this point.

Every year someone mentions all the TG top players wanting to leave. There's no accuracy to a dumb, general statement like that.

Just enjoy the summers with your daughters, have as much fun as you can, because it goes fast. Why not root for all LI clubs to do well, especially when you're not even facing them? It's silly that adults have so much animosity towards another program...

Is there something to see that is public record or would you have to hire a private detective? If its public record, spit it out.

Ladies man also besides all the other stuff

Ladies man also besides all the other stuff

He’s a great coach and his personal life should not be open for discussion. I’ve only seen him at the tournaments with that mother who looks like Mama from Honey Boo Boo, don’t know if I would consider that a ladies’ man. I think you’re just trying to stir the pot.

Unless someone contacts BOTC directly with their name, the coach's name, and evidence, this discussion now officially ends.

If anyone should post anything further about this coach without attribution, that account will be immediately and permanently banned from participation in the forum. This is our one and only warning on this subject.

What year of graduation? What kind of question is that? Do you not know what was referred to when one states "National Champs?" Let me educate you. That statement was referring to the U15 National Championship. It is what every team strives to compete in. Teams from all over the country compete. There is no one and only graduation year. Travel teams "put together" the most competitive team they possibly can based upon the age restrictions that are imposed. It is a big deal. Think of it as the main event. The superbowl of girls travel lacrosse. The winner is considered to be the National Champ. All other tournaments are simply local tournaments, some with very local competition, others with a more competitive format. True, YJ teams performed exceptionally well this year at most tournaments, including the extremely competitive Babylon Lax Blast where they literally cleaned the clock of the competition. They should be very proud of that accomplishment. But on to the big show. The Nationals. And the winner this year, thats right you can say it, the Top Guns. So please, enough with the other tournaments where the YJ seem to control the draws they get in pool play. And as far as TG girls switching over to YJ; I can probably count on one hand the amount of TG girls who switched over the last couple of years, and still have some fingers left over. Same rumor every year.

Get over yourself , it's just another tournament in Florida ,all the top teams were from the north east . Many tournaments bill themselves as a national championship . Your 2016 TG team is barely a top ten team but congrats on winning a tournament the best 2016 team in the country does not even puts team into.Ask anyone who has a clue even your only good coach SS and she will tell you YJ and MD are the top teams in this age. Makes sense you have to count using your fingers.

It sure seemed to matter a lot when YJ won it though.

My apologies, I gave you way too much credit. You are even more ignorant than I first thought. If YJ is the top team in the 2016 grouping, why did they not win the Nationals in Florida? And yes, boy was it a big deal when YJ won this tournament in the past. But now that the TG fielded the best team, this tournament is considered just another tournament that happens to take place in Florida. Your comments make you look foolish and a sore loser. But that is exactly what one would expect from a YJ parent. Can I get an AMEN to that.

u15 national champs TOPGUNS, get over it buddy. u15 national championships is biggest tournament of the year. we are sorry you lost. check out uslacrosse.org and laxmagazine for articles. all other tournaments are not mentioned ever in these magazines. what does that tell you genius? GET OVER IT . topguns made the jump to best team at this age group. Yellowjackets you are 2nd.

Cobbled together frankenstein teams with only one of the top clubs from MD attending. Certainly my definition of "the biggest". Why can't the directors from the top clubs, Boston to DC, arrange to all play in the same tourney? We're realisticall talking about less than 10 clubs.

US Lacrosse is committing print and web site space to promote their own tournament.
