this from the organization that beats there chest over 2015 national draw champs when all the top teams like Sky walkers, MD United, Capital, ect. were all at I.W.L.C.A. . Your second best 2015 team barley won against the Wave.


Beating their chest? One post that says they won National Draw - that is beating their chest?
The debates about "who did you beat?" in youth sports have raged forever.

You play the teams that register for the tournament. The simpla fact is that Team Elevate 2017 won the National Draw 2017 Championship. There are no "yeah, but" explanations needed. If your team wanted to win the title, they should have shown up. Elevate did and they won it.

The more important point is not trying to throw stones about the crown, but why are so many of the Maryland teams picking up their tents and moving to another tournament. BOTC received word that there is increasing dissatisfaction with the National Draw from the teams in its own backyard which might imply some shifting in the ladies tournament landscape next season.

The perception out there is that National Draw (and All-Star Express also) are YJ controlled events, everyone knows that CR and her old cronies control all the seeding and brackets. That coupled with the fact that many in the lax community are just tiring of the YJ act is why more and more teams will be opting out of this event. There's a changing of the gaurd taking place...


I do see an effort by 91 to try and make the girls side competative, and that is great, wish them luck. You are likely correct with some of the lesser local clubs evaporating, but your perception of where this program stands right now is optimistic at best. The sheltered tournament schedule the program attends is a great way to improve the program as the success will build confidence (eveident by your posts). Attending the top tournaments and playing in the top brackets against the top teams will destroy a club quickly if the teams are not up to the task. I wish the program luck because the more places that offer a competitive team option on long island the better, but be wary of your success thus far as the program has a long way to go.
