No one ever said they all didn't play, you are referring to the wrong thread which is about the 2020's. And from what I saw everyone did play, not equally but they did play.

Daughter plays for Heros in MD and we played Stars couple weeks ago and they are legit! Talked to parents and they are a bunch of reclassifed girls, couple might be 15 years old. They feed into one of the best VA high schools teams....St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School Varsity Girls

So now you want to create a conspiracy theory that they had to be older because YJ lost... Face it there are some teams that are actually better than others and in this case Stars was better than YJ at that age group. You sound like a core bitter loser.

Actually, YJ 2020 beat stars team in their own graduation year. They lost to the older team.

Hey [lacrosse] its not a conspiracy , why would the stars parent I asked lie about the age of the kids , she said many were 14 ,some younger, some possibly 15. How is that a conspiracy ? You sound like a [lacrosse] who has issues with reading comprehension. Now you have a Heroes parent on here stating many have been reclassified which would make sense with what that parent was saying.

Not true and hope you enjoyed watching your kid sitting on the bench while your new teammate never left the field. Just a preview of what's to come this summer.

Funny, not that long ago it was all over this thread how great Curcio's team is: everyone plays, they pass the ball, etc. Funny how a fall game makes everyone change their tune.

If this guy is a legit coach, then whats the problem?

This is fall ball, remember? The 2020 Gold team at T3 and Lax for the Cure was a combo team. Coach Jones does put a lot into HER team, but this wasn't it.

My kid has played for Jones for many summers, and we think she is a fantastic coach. None of your nonsense matters to me. What matters to me is that my kid is getting great instruction and exposure and she loves the game more today than ever.

Good luck to the girls who left the team. We wish them the best and respect their decisions. However, in my opinion, YJ 2020 Jones will be stronger this season than ever before.

Depends on your definition of legit at the YJ?

I'm glad to hear that you're happy with Jones. But if you're asking those that left why they did, I'll tell you because I'd like my daughter to be part of a team where the coach puts in more than the minimum. Curcio, TG, Elevate and even Legacy will be practicing all winter. I've never seen that from Jones. Truth is we've felt like 2nd class citizens and it was time to move on. I wish all the Jones kids well.

Simple. If your daughter is as good as you say she is ,she

several kids did not play in TG game either

You people really complain that on a competitive travel lacrosse team that plays all kids in 95% of the games but competes to win in a championship game at a tournament that has playoffs. REALLY? You need to be honest with yourselves because your ridiculous and you know it.

Every team in any sport has a top half of the roster and bottom half of the roster. My kids have been on both sides for many various teams and sports. If your daughter try's out for and makes the yj blue team, you quickly get a sense of her position in the pecking order on the team. Many and most top teams in the nation will play to win, if that mean playing the bottom of the roster sparingly or not at all so be it, and I agree. It is your job as a parent to decide if that roll is acceptable for your daughter, many are happy just to roll with blue. If not you should consider dropping a team or two and let your daughter be one of the go to players during the tough games. Just be realistic, this is not town ball where everyone gets equal time nor should it be. If your daughter is not getting playing time, and you can't handle that, you need to find a team that is a better fit for her.

They beat TG and 1-2 did not play, lost the game game in question in which 8-10 kids did not play at all. Get your facts straight! Either way Curcio made a classes move

[quote=Anonymous]You TG people are very funny. After watching you play this past weekend you 2020 kids actually think your playing because you are standing on the field. There is one kid and one kid only on that team and everyone knows it, get her the ball and get out of the way.Not sure as a parent how you watched that all last summer but hey you went undefeated on the year so it was worth it. [/quote

YAWN-YAWN-YAWN!!! This topic is as old and played out as "coach sausage". Please do us all a favor and find something new to beat to death! If your kid is not on the team why would you care? It's not effecting/affecting (never sure which one to use and I don't want to be sited by the grammar police) your kid.

but if they take your money and place you there you should play, if not they should have placed us on the other team. Can't get noticed while sitting on the bench. I know its early in the process but looking out a year or two we need her to be on the field

And this is another argument for having a smaller roster.

Cited?

Correct me if I'm wrong but you pulled that post up from a while ago. No one is talking about, no one on this YJ site cares, you lost the game anyway, but you seem to want people to talk about it more so you copied it and put it back on this string. In your own words "yawn yawn yawn" Obviously no one cares.

You obviously know little about 2020 black... You are talking about what is ahead for them. Under SL it was NEVER about one kid. She is a great player but never was a one women show like Curcio is going to deal with. BTW, it is not Mrs L

Really? You are on the wrong thread. You top gun people need attention and will fish around for it all day. No one cares about the girl who runs to goal (who we easily beat) or the fact that SL left you or any of the crap you try to come on here and try to stir up. Your reaching for attention. Go back to your TG thread and amuse your selves with your own baggage. As we all saw pretty clearly this weekend, you have nothing to talk about, no one to brag about and no coach to woo over. You were beat by a team with more than 1 good player yet you continue to try and draw attention to the one player on your team who didn't get the job done. The SL comment is so old news. No one really cares if he played nice nice. Try crawling around your own thread for the attention you're craving. You sound like you are begging for attention. You're old news!

OK - original post was made today # 95564 @ 11:12 - was not re-posted from before.

Correct, play to win in championship format tournaments. Very few championship formats in recruiting year classes, mostly showcases. Showcases, balanced play time. Don't like it, go to a club where your kid is an alpha dog.

2021 didn't lose a game the entire weekend. How could anyone be killing the team ? This team had kids from 2022 and 2023 as well and still didn't lose a game.

It's "cited", not sited.

Not even open for debate. OF COURSE you play to win in the championship game (and in this case a 20 minute game) I also agree that MOST of the games "9 out of 10" they play even time. Are we really even discussing this?

Good indication of the competition.

Not so sure , its 12 year old fall lacrosse. Not something she has done in the past so what makes it the thing to do now.I can see both sides of the issue and in the end it may be better for all the girls on the team , throw together a very good season , win some championships , get a buzz about the team being the best then when recruiting age comes play girls equally at recruiting tournaments and all the girls get more exposure.On the other hand you may be hurting some kids confidence who could develop into one of those kids that wins the big game for you. In the end you cannot please everyone and people are free to play for any organization they want.

Your a complete tool bag, coming from a parent of a YJ D1 recruit. Not a single college coach from D1 to D3 cares who the [lacrosse] won a tournament let alone a fall tournament. Your a moron its about exposure as they get older. All should have played it didn't have to be equal playing time but all should have played.

You sound like an idiot when you say father of a D1 recruit, again can really see both sides of the issue especially in a 20 minute running time playoff game. To say they don't care who wins a tournament is not exactly true, they will watch the very top teams earlier and more often than the lesser teams so winning does matter.My guess is you do not have a D1 kid as this sounds too personal to you and if you had a d1 recruit you would realize its no big deal and would stop posting that.

If they take your money and place you there you should play, if not they should have placed us on the other team. Can't get noticed while sitting on the bench. I know its early in the process but looking out a year or two we need her to be on the field. The bloom is off the Curcio rose

winning must be a program directive. the same issue happens at all levels reguardless of the type of tournament. people pay big bucks to travel and watch even at recruiting events. YJ way!

Coach is assisting a college coach on team 4 and daughter is dumping TG!

agree 100 %

Why play a game if you're not trying to win. If winning doesn't matter then why keep score and have championship games?? Obviously the girls who didn't play aren't good enougb. Travel is travel...play to win, play the best. Maybe the girls who are sitting the bench should practice more instead of you moron parents telling your kid, it's not fair honey you should have played. If your daughter is as good as u think, she will get noticed

You obviously have no Idea what your talking about, I am also a father of a D! recruit from a different club and I can tell all you parents that think if you don't play for Y.J. you have no chance of getting your daughter to the next level, your completely wrong. Not one college coach cares who won any tournament ever. If your kid is good, coaches will come to see her no matter what pinnie she puts on her back. I am the father that keeps preaching on this site about the virtue of camps over tournament ball anyway. Club teams are only a piece of the puzzle that is equal to, but not greater than attending college summer camps. stay realistic and know where your kid should play, not everyone goes to U.N.C. , Monmouth is a good school too, keep your options open. Forget about Y.J. jones or Curico, if your kid will get more time at Liberty or Wave than go play there and be on the field.

Instead of whining here, why not just ask off the team. You'll get better results.

Talk about having no idea what your talking about , you come into the YJ post so you can rant about how useless playing travel lax is . No one cares about your idiotic opinion especially when you equate Monmouth with UNC . I have seen 50 plus coaches on the sideline of individual summer lax games . Your kid went to camps where the competition level is generally very low and act as if that's money well spent .
