More important than high visibility tournaments, pick the schools of interest, let your recruiting director know early and go to prospect days.

thank them for the early life lesson?

Why did so many kids leave?

Other clubs position them better for recruiting

So what’s everyone paying this year for club?

You people pay?

Which team is he going to?

Haven’t paid in years, top kids don’t pay

You must coach your daughter’s team

Ok troll

Empire people pay

Ive heard lower tier clubs let their goalie play for free…thats prob what this parent referring to? Idk

I’m new to TG and don’t really come on here much. I’m reading these posts about the coach. My daughter can handle yelling but killing confidence is different. Does he really belittle the girls?

Good luck. Great trainer. Terrible coach.

No, pot stirrer whose daughter was cut and likes to exaggerate. If your daughter works hard and is coachable, she will do great. Pretty much like anywhere else. My daughter has been with TG for over five years. AS is her coach. He truly cares about the girls, and pretty much every girl on my daughters team is going to play in college at a great school. Keep in mind that there are unhappy people on all teams. Good luck!

so obviously stirring the pot....if you are new to TG talk to the parents on the team - don't post randomly on BOTC

You must be a lacrosse genius to be able to know already that the 13-14 yr olds on the team will all play college ball at a great school.

They will if they follow the advice of the coach. Proven record of getting girls into top notch schools. Worked out great for my older daughter.

Genius !

Ummm. did you see their 2024 commits?

Only 2 girls to top 25 schools -- Maryland and StonyBrook.

Most of the rest to lower tier schools both academically and athletically -- Hofstra, Elon, Wagner, FDU, Sacred Heart, FDU, LIU, Marist

How do you find that out.

Did you see there ‘23s heading to the best of the best in a couple weeks. AS the coach. Work hard, good things will happen

Its all Publix on lax numbers

Yellow jackets commits are lackluster. I’m surprised. Maybe I’m missing something. Or site lists it under another name.

Top 10 programs warehouse kids w rosters of 40-50 who otherwise have productive careers at other schools. They don't want you to play somewhere else so sell u the name w little compensation. Don't be on the team, be able to say I play for..... don't get amazoned 😂😂

Agree and we are seeing it happen to too many players. My kid wants to play in college, not sit on the bench of a top 20 program and pretend she is happy.

they are li elite on that site

TG 2023 were the number 1 team in the country. Of course they were going to have girls going to the most Top 20 schools. The 2024’s barley could beat high level B teams and lost to any top ranked A team. There best 2024 on that team played on the 2023 team most of her club career till recruitment. The 2027 black team is on track to being a replica of the 24’s so please tell me how AS is gonna get them into top schools on the next level. As far as training he is a good coach but you pay him for all this training on the side. If your daughter can not handle constant yelling and being told after games that her team [Censored] and being berated for 20 minutes after every loss then you better rethink your choice. Don’t let these TG people tell you she’s going to a top school based on the 23’s success they were a special group.

So what are you saying. TG 24’s were ranked around 20. You can’t get into a strong academic school playing lacrosse on a team ranked in the 20’s?

If history is a guide, for A teams ranked between 20 and 35 or so, these are what you typically see in terms of recruiting. I would expect TG to do similar for their 2027 team.


2-3 girls going to top 25 programs
5-7 girls going to next level 20-60 programs
2-3 girls going to low D1 programs (think MAC, Big South, Northeast)
3-4 girls going to NESCAC or high-quality D3
The rest going to D2 or lower level D3

Look at teams final rankings and it's pretty consistent.

Sometimes West coast, south or midwest clubs may have a few more towards the top and a few more who don't play at all since their rosters tend to be more top-heavy. CT clubs may do a little better since they often have mostly girls who aren't looking for any $$ at all.

B teams like YJB, Heros White, M&D Red may not have any top 25 girls, but will have lots of second-tier lacrosse schools.

Simply not true. Lost top offensive and defensive weapons. Hopefully new coaching staff can turn things around for this group so they can remain competitive. We need more good teams on LI, not less.

Ummm. Ever think it was their choice to go to those “lower tier” schools for one reason or another? I can’t stand when people belittle college choices.

Best players according to their parents, reality FLG best offensive players stayed.

Just curious by your calculations/judgement on team ranking what would you expect generally speaking if team is in the 7-15 range?

Who cares about FLG. They are done.

Up and coming teams. Lax On

Haha, lax on

There is usually a pretty big gap between 7 and 15 in terms of recruiting. 7 are usually loaded across the entire roster while teams around 15 can be top heavy with a few stars or have talent more spread out with lots of depth.

That said, here is my take for an east coast team ranked in the middle of that range.

4-6 girls going to top 25 programs or Ivies
6-10 girls going to next level 25-60 programs
The rest of roster going to high D3 or low non-scholarship D1

Even the top teams only have 6-9 girls going to big time program. Great example is YJ Spallina, one of the best club teams in the past 5 years. They will still have some starters who don't go top 25.

Isn’t it ironic.

We need more good LI teams, not FEWER.

And apparently we need more good English teachers as well.

FLG will remain a top 10 team nationally. Ownership is committed to the program and the team. Those who left have already been replaced by equal or better players.
