Lets compare coaches, TG psycho daddy has no real coaching experience, ran onto field to prove psycho status arguing w refs when game was over, runs isolation plays over and over for his daughter
YJ mommy coach, has years of experience coaching girls lacrosse as the varsity coach for Huntington High School, daughter plays defense, shows the girls to respect the refs and realizes its just 11 year olds playing fall ball

The big difference is that BS and SS allow the TG Daddy's to coach in the fall. They hand select the girls. They then play only their kids and enter into tournaments to pump up themselves and their egos. They embarrass the program with each appearance. This is so like the YJ friends and family plan.

Long time lurker of BOC, first time poster. With regard to this last weekend's showcases. (This is a little off topic and sorry if I am highjacking the thread) I have to say, this Summer/Fall has been quite a learning experience for me as a parent.

I learned that tourney registrations and scheduling is NOT based on merit. Some clubs don't have to have an army of parents manning the registration pages when it opens and then closes in less than 5 minutes. I noticed that the same "A" level teams played each other both on Sat and Sun. One team was "frozen out". It's really been bugging me because this Summer and Fall is important for the 16's. This last weekend, they played and crushed one minor "A" team as well as several "B" level teams....in front of no college coaches. It's rigged! It's all about the "Brand" and making money.

My daughter's team has not lost to the "vaunted" Skywalkers Blue since they were in 6th grade. Haven't lost to TG's since 6th grade. In addition, until this last weekend, they were the only team to have beaten M&D 16 Black more than once....(I believe it's 4 times now). Congrats to the Defoe BTW, Our girls were hoping for another opportunity to play the YJ's and the TG's but were denied that opportunity.

It's just deflating to see that worthy teams are prevented from playing meaningfull games against strong opponants in front of collegiate recruiters.

Sorry for the rant. Im just sick and tired of the blatant "backdoor" manipulation.

I dont understand your problem with fathers getting together and grabbing some girls to play in some tournaments. Why dont you yjs do it. Not allowed maybe. Get to save alot of money and keep a stick in there hands.

Embarrasing is the way yj ran up score versus 2020/2021 teams that could barely catch and throw, but in the end I guess they all felt good about themselves!

Awesome news I hear the best young player has selected again this year what team she wishes to play on. Tuff decision, play on older team and coaching not as good , play on younger team and players not as good plus parents are insane. I think the braintrust got a little nervous that they could lose her so they let her decide what team she plays on.Even heard they went to the house to beg her to stay, seems desperate.

The YJ entered in the 2020 division was comprised of both 2020's and 2021's so get your facts straight a-hole. Worry about your own problems as you alienate your own team by hand picking your players. Now crawl back under your trailer

Funny thing is YJ mommy coach has had her daughter play in more than a few tournaments on the Psycho TG Daddy team. Go figure.

What? Are you kidding ? The YJ Coaches kid also plays for the TG? Do as I say not as I do.

You must have been the parent yelling for your daughter to Go to Goal, when up by 10.

Mommy coach did the same thing at 91 a few years ago, not a very good coach. She is the same as the "psycho Daddy" that everyone talks about. She also coached for Beach Bums for at least 1 year. All she is interested in is making sure her daughter never leaves the field.

Seems to me that you're repeating exactly what was said in the original post - those e are the facts! The issue was the lack of sportsmanship in beating up what were clearly inferior teams - 18-0, 16-2...

Great post.Stop the negativity it was a great day for the girls,
They played their hearts out all day. They had a great time between games, the parents were fine no one got crazy like some make it out to be. The coaches in my opinion didn't do anything out of line,Yes at the end there was an on the field out burst. You know what if your a parent...With a heart and some emotion you could probably understand, it his little girl was on the field crying and yes maybe he over reacted.

Thank You to the parents who put this together, and congratulations to our 2020 girls who played their hearts out all day against 2019 and 2018 teams. It was a great moment to see the YG parents on the sideline chearing for a fellow L.I. team playing out of town, we need more of that from both sides.

Congratulations to the YJ teams that won their respective divisions..

Just too funny, your okay w the on the field outburst in an 11 year old fall tournament, if that's what Bill ands Shannon want to represent their club then they should get the kid back who was stealing stuff at National Drawaybe she can pick up the new uniforms at a discount price.

Are you for real, dredging up something that happened with one girl a few years ago? That's a fatal flaw in logic, to attribute to a whole club the actions on an individual.

There's bad behavior all over the sidelines of all sports. No one loves it or approves of it. The end.

The fatal flaw is you are condoning the on field outburst saying it happens on all sidelines when clearly it does not. Amazing you have no issue with this , where do you draw the line, does he need to come in physical contact w the ref, does he need to actually punch the guy. To funny that when one of these daddy teams beats a YJ team it's a TG win when one of these daddy teams have a coach freak out it has nothing to do w TG.

Just to funny?? Why is that funny? Why does the fact that it was 11 year olds and a fall tournament have anything to do with it? If your paying attention you would realize that these kids are just as competitive as the older kids and they play to win every game regardless of season. Do you think they travel 2 hours, get up before sunrise on a Sunday and don't care if they win or lose. Come on stop with the hate and all of the negativity.

I don't know if your a YJ or disgruntled TG parent or just a really miserable unhappy person, but this whole on field out burst is really being blown out of proportion. I'm paraphrasing here but it was something to the extent of " hey ref that was a terrible call my little girl got stepped on." By the way he ran on the field to pick his daughter off the field as she lay their crying. It's unbelievable that you choose to focus on a 15 second event rather then on an amazing game. I didn't, see anything at that game that is worthy of this sort of criticism, and yes it is never acceptable to yell at the refs.

What's funny is to see how you are trying to make something out of nothing and then tie it to the TG owners, they should be proud of what happened on the field a team comprised of 2020 TG girls played their hearts out and kicked butt. Everything else is sour grapes.

1. Clearly you are new to sports if you don't think there is bad behavior to be found across the board. Through my children, I've been around organized sports since 1996, I've seen a LOT of crazy stuff from spitting to fist fights (among parents, among players, players threatening the sidelines, on and on) to screaming parents and coaches. I've also seen coaches not stand up for their players and that's not good either, it's a fine line.

2. At no time did I condone bad behavior. As stated above: "No one loves it or approves of it." Acknowledging it happens is far from condoning it.

Now we all know you shouldn't believe even 1% of "what you hear"

What's funny is how ridiculous your reply is."I didn't, see anything at that game that is worthy of this sort of criticism, and yes it is never acceptable to yell at the refs." Well which is it, or is it only acceptable to argue with refs if your a TG daddy coach."By the way he ran on the field to pick his daughter off the field as she lay their crying" yet he still had time to give the ref a few choice words. Yes we get you played up in age for this tournament as you keep reminding us but this team has cheated in the past multiple times playing with older kids down in age or playing at age when tournament rules require travel teams to play up a year in age, hello long island lax fest.
