In the immortal words of Ron Burgandy, "stay classy" Curcio parents.

However, the Curcio players deserve congratulations. They are quick and skilled. Now go out and beat Top Guns, please!

2016 blue got beat up this weekend.

Who did the 2016s lose to? Also, did the 2017s lose to Elevate at a tournament in New England? Is that correct?

One of many losses yj had this weekend, rough weekend for the bee's - www.revevents.com/rise

Looks like the bees went 13-15

Eeesshhh not a very good showing at all for YJ. I can see the game results but could not see the champions. Who ended up winning the 2017s?

But that tournament is for top talent. Why is YJ sending so many crappy teams there, why wouldn't they just send the beat teams. Of course this is what the record will be.

Elevate 2017 Blue won in a braveheart. Both teams played a great game.

Looks like the Baltimore girls beat them at Towson too.

There is no shame in losing to 2017 Elevate Blue. They are a excellent team. The reality is there were 4 or 5 2017 teams that could have won this tournament.

- Yellow Jackets Cook
- Elevate 2017 Blue
- Lady Roc 2017 Yellow
- Sky walkers 2017 Blue

all come to mind. Having girls at UA really has no bearing as there is no way of knowing if other clubs had girls out do to injury, other commitments, etc.

For the teams who did not do as well, who cares? They all played quality opponents and happened to lose. Keep working hard, enjoy the sport and look to win the next time you have an opportunity to play.

It wasn't meant to be an insult about 17s. Just stating facts pertaining to the 16s and 17s losing. 17s had five subs. It should have just stated the team was short not where other players were. And the 16s that lost it was not Defos team it was a team of uncommitted yj 16s.

Good for Elevate. Nice to see another club getting into the mix. I have heard great things about this club. I know they have some strong younger teams as well.

Long island lax plays on their age level or plays up sometimes. The other states have older kids on them, due to that the school cut off date is sept 1st not dec. 1st as in ny. Some parents do hold kids back and if they go to a prep school they repeat that school year over.

And you base this observation on what? I know for a fact that there are some LI girls that are held back a year as well. This excuse from LI to explain why MD is blowing past you is laughable. The Skywalkers and M&D teams may have 1 or 2 girls max that are a few months older. In fact, the 2021 M&D team had no overage girls and actually had a third grader on the team this year. Both of my son's transferred to one of the Baltimore Preps and neither was made to repeat a grade. This is a fallacy created to explain why LI is no longer the dominant lax hotbed that it once was. Guess what, neither is MD. The sport is growing so fast you go to tournaments and struggle against teams from FL, TX, NC, etc. Let the girls play and stop making excuses. Maybe the reason YJ is falling off a bit is because the parents on here are the most insane lax parents I have ever seen. Do you see any of this crap on the MD board? The infighting between the parents here is both humorous and sad. I check in from time to time to get a chuckle out of what nonsense is being thrown around. Most of which seems to be from the 2020 age down. These are 12 yr old girls or younger. Do you not realize how much these girls are going to change in the next few years? Cheer for your daughters, cheer for their YJ team. Enjoy your tournament wins(From the tourneys that M&D/Skywalkers skipped:) and stop the madness.

Same Elevate girls that were instrumental for the LI team winning at Brine the other week. Very good team.

Are you really this ignorant. Not that hard to understand.Maryland school year cut off is earlier than LI by about 3 months so you will have more kids who were born in sept,oct,nov, dec who on LI would be playing up a year as compared to MD. Does it make that much of a difference , probably not as they get older which is backed up by the results as your 2017,2016 Skywalker and MD teams have lost to YJ way more often than they have won . YJ 2016 has beaten SW ,MD the last 7-8 times these clubs have played maybe more.

What are the top teams for the 4th/5th grade girls? We are exploring our options and any info would be greatly appreciated. YJ is a possibility, but I have heard some negative things. How are 91, Elevate, and Top Guns in comparison? I would have asked on a different forum but the is none this age group.

When was the last time YJ and M&D's top 2017 teams hooked-up? I really can't remember...2011 maybe. I know at 2016, YJ had a string of losses to M&D in the 2012/13 seasons. Haven't followed fall 2013 and summer 2014 too closely. Facts are your friend, present some.

5th grade group is competitive. I know that YJ beat Elevate 3-2 in last tournament in playoffs and Elevate beat TG at National Draw. 91 is not at that level.

YJ and Top Guns should be the most competitive going forward Elevate doesn't draw kids like the other two programs.
