Girls 2020 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 - US Lacrosse Community Forum

BOTC is opening our Fall 2014 through Summer 2015 thread covering the Girls 2020 (7th Grade) age group.

If we're going to have to play a significant amount of our summer games against other yj teams the very least cr can do is make the mitchell field scrimmages a club party and have a big bbq there for us

How is 2020 Icon? Does anyone know about try outs?

Thank you. This will be our first year of girls' travel lacrosse. We will be coming from Queens so it will be tricky. Any suggestions?

Stay away from the teams that practice in suffolk county. You will never get there and back in any reasonable amount of time. I know that Team Elevate is in Cold Spring Harbor (Nassau County) and Liberty is in Nassau as well. Many of the others are in Suffolk.

Play soccer locally, queens has tons of good teams

Icon is out of Nassau County as well...

Not all 2020. Mixed with 2021

Thanks for the suggestions. I think my daughter is going to try out for both Liberty and Elevate. We went to a few Elevate clinics this Winter. Coach seemed like a good guy and also hear good things about Liberty.

Liberty is out of Manhasset. Good program. Some Express Girls practice at Kellenberg in Uniondale. Good Luck, Soccer is for Fall. :-)

Will they stay mixed? How are they as a competitive team?

I would go watch liberty and elevate in a fall tourney before commiting to either one - lots of craziness on elevate sidelines

Liberty is just not that good. But they are local.

Thank you. Good to know. Definitely not interested in sideline craziness . Uniondale is pretty easy to get to for us. I didn't realize that Express had a girls' program. Will look into that also.

Express is mostly boys program now. The girls program has gone downhill the last several years. I would go to a few and see what you think. I wouldnt listen to people who say things like (crazy parents, etc.), those people are far more crazy since they are the ones sitting on here ridiculing other clubs. Go and see for yourself and you can judge what is crazy or not.

Fairly new program, have a lot of mixed aged teams since they are new. Saw them play this summer, talent wasnt very strong.

Don't listen to all the noise on here. Experience it for yourself. The Elevate clinics are excellent and you have seen that for yourself and the program is run the exact same way. Incredible attention to detail. Talk to them if you are interested, experience the difference for yourself. Ask questions but the last thing you should so is listen to the loudmouths on here. We called and looked around and you should do the same. See which programs are willing to give you the time of day when you call and that will be the experience you have when you join. What you see is what you get.

Team 91 has a nice B level program and is very well run just think the practices in Farmingdale might be a little far from Queens. Do not be insulted but if you are from Queens some of the top clubs like Yellow Jackets, Top Guns and even Liberty may be a little overwhelming for your daughter if she hasn't been playing for the last five years. Maybe look at South Shore and Wave practice in Nassau and are reasonably priced.

had a 2021 on Elevate this summer. she had an incredible time. it was our first year. very competitive team. beat Top Guns 2021 Black and lost 3-2 in a playoff game to best YJ team so by LI standards we held our own. the club is super family oriented and my daughter made a lot of nice friends BUT I will say, go to a couple of tryouts. We did and we saw what was out there. tryouts alone will give you a vey good idea as to what a club is like and how it is run and how the parents are.

With the exception of one older age group, team 91 is not strong at all. My daughter played there and it is a BOYS program. Girls are a complete afterthought. The program is completely disorganized. There was zero communication and people run I g it had no clue. A lot of girls left there last year and they had trouble fielding teams in some age groups and even had to have spring tryouts to fill rosters. If you have a boy then that would be the right move, this is not a girls program. South shore elite is small and unknown.

Thank you for the advice. Sounds like a good idea.

I thought Team 91 was buying Yellow Jackets?

That is so true, In last two weeks he organized charities for 2 elevate families in need due to tragic incidents - not something you would EVER see from another club. Things he doesn't publicize. He and this club is really what it means to be part of a club.

I do not really know him, but my girls (including a 2nd grader) went to 2 of his clinics. They are not elite players, and he could not have been more attentive to them (including cutting and taping my little one's stick, which was a little too big).

What girls lacrosse camps are left on LI for the summer?

And, that is exactly how he is with the kids which is most important. The clinics he runs are amazing, high energy and takes time to watch EVERY kid regardless of age, skill, etc. This is why people need to experience things for themselves and not listen to what people say on here. or listen to the "I heard".....

Not to mention the charity work he does for underprivileged kids during the holiday season.

Who practices or plays in Uniondale?

The NY Islanders !

There were 6 2021 girls on the Icon 2020 team. There were a total of 23 girls on the team roster. For a first year team, they did well winning the Shamrock Shootout and LI LaxFest.

They won Shamrock because all the other 2020s were playing up in 2019. It was a rebel vs green machine final for the real 2020 teams that took place up in 2019. If you think Icon could even step on field with either of those teams, you are dreaming. You think you won the tournament but you have no idea what is really going on.

Yes, they played well against town teams. Nothing wring with that.

Here is the truth about the Coach. He is a man who is a very good coach at practices and does run a family-type club. Everyone stays together but as in any club, there are cliques. He is very driven to make Elevate a strong name on the East Coast. The club is very organized. However, he is very good to the people/players in his inner circle and on his top teams. If you are on a lower team, your team is just practice to the top teams. You and your daughter will feel a little left out. He practices all teams together which is not a good thing if you are on a lower team. On the top team side, there is parent coaching and they definitely promote certain players over others. Our team did not go to the tournaments we should have this year. If you don't drink his Kool-Aid you will hate being there and so will your daughter. The lower teams are an after thought.

No offense but they only have 1 descent team

Thank you for a very informative response.

Does anyone have any similar type of information on the Liberty and how they set their teams, how practices are run, who travels to tournaments, etc.?

I have to disagree with the afterthought comment, at least for this year. The new (last year) director of the girls� side ran a great program. Great communication, instruction and a great family atmosphere. It was my daughter's first year in a travel program, and she loved it. A lot of attention from top coaches, mostly HS coaches with college assistants, and she really grew from it. They are finally following the YJ formula of HS coaches supplemented with college girls. I did hear from my friend whose daughter played there two years ago that it was an afterthought, but the girls program is its own entity now from what we experienced and the girls� director made it a top experience.
Several of the older teams were very good, showing well in the top tourneys (undefeated in the Capital Cup) ect. And my daughters' young team had some good talent, and hopefully will draw some more this fall.

Interesting take on things but not quite the same as our experience. Have a kid NOT on a top team and thought the practices were great. We welcomed the opportunity to practice with the better teams, playing with better kids, makes you better. We did not feel left out at all. Totally felt like we were part of the club and kids had a great bonding experience with girls on many of the teams. And yes, coaches play the better kids (it is competitive travel lacrosse) and no matter what club/team you play on, that will be the experience where better kids will play more. However, overall, the playing time was very fair and my child was not one of the better kids. Our Elevate experience was a great one and look forward to returning next year.

Yes, teams are picked by taking all the Manhasset kids and giving them uniforms.

You should really call the teams you are interested in and hear what the teams have to say and not listen to what goes on here. Ask them about tryouts, practices, fall tournaments, winter leagues, number of kids on a team, what's included in the fees, etc. DO not do your research on here. I would have wound up in a bad place had I listened to the people on here and after talking to the clubs and attending 4 tryouts, you will see and feel what is right for your child.

Are you sure they were writing about 91? It doesn't sound like it. The girls program is a complete train wreck! Good communication? Organized? There is no way this is about the 91 girls program.

Thanks

I agree. We couldn't have been happier with the 91 program this year. We will definitely be back.

Actually, I know quite a few girls that were very happy this year. There was a definite turn around and I think the program will only get stronger.

I do see your point, however, the Elevate program at the early high school level is driven based on his daughter being on that team (who is a good lacrosse player)and his personal relationships with parent coaching. My daughters team did not go to any important tournaments and we had only 13 girls on the team. We will not be coming back to try out. That is not to say that Elevate would not be a good program for her daughter. But I stand by my comments. My daughter did get great practices out of the program. He also has burned alot of bridges with lacrosses coaches which I know for a fact. Has been told not to return to tournaments for various reasons. He is known to be explosive at games. These are all facts. If you have been around lacrosse for a few years you would know this information. He can also be very rude when he wants to be.

Yes, I was refering to 91. Was very happy with the return on investment and my daughter loved it. I know from friends that this was not the case several years ago, but the new director and coaches were great this year.

My daughter LOVED her 91 coach this year and great communication and good side line with NO drama.
I would suggest to do your research and make the best decicion for your girl. 91 was great, and can't go wrong with TG, YJ either. All great programs. TG and YJ do draw top talent, and the talent on my daughter's 91 team was solid, and they are really growing.

The 91 girls better not get comfortable. Once 91 buys yellow jackets their spots on the top team will go away

It must be true that 91 is buying YJ because you read it on the internet........

It would be the YJ girls that should be nervous. The spots will be filled by effort and ability, not the fact that they were on the Hornets 4 years ago or that their big sisters were YJs.

Where is this coming from? The first I heard of this was on here, but very often the rumor mill is the start of the public leak. Is Spallina buying out YJ? Is there a merge or is this just more stirring the pot.

You are saying the girls 91 teams are better than the YJ Teams? Interesting.

Its coming from TG parents starting crap.....Not heard this from anyone else...With 91, both boys and girls side, and DEF not true.....Almost laughable!!

Not saying better, just that a merger provides an oppty for an organization to get rid of some of the political baggage at the bottom of their rosters.

I know about 1/2 dozen girls left 91 for Elevate last year, the kids and parents said that the talent at Elevate is way beyond 91 and the program itself is so much better. I can only tell you from speaking to parents that have experienced both. I don't know anyone who left elevate for 91.

This wS the first year for. 91. Girls that the response has been so positive. If girls left last year, they have not experienced the changes. 91 needed to spend more time and d edgy on the girls side. The new director and coaches did a great job. I do think it will continue to grow and be positive.

Several of the older teams were very good, showing well in the top tourneys (undefeated in the Capital Cup) ect. And my daughters' young team had some good talent, and hopefully will draw some more this fall.

This was in regards to the 91 Girls program

Are you sure they were writing about 91? It doesn't sound like it. The girls program is a complete train wreck! Good communication? Organized? There is no way this is about the 91 girls program.

Well, my daughter's team had girls that left from TG Black and YJ. But that being said, go to a program that works for you and your daughter, and if it is Elevate, that's great. I just wanted to correct someone who was stating as fact that has no idea what they are talking about. 91, as of this past year was well run, with communication and coaching being top notch. That is fact.

VERY TRUE - My friend came over from 91, said teh programs are NOT comparable on ANY level.

If you think Icon could even step on field with either of those teams, you are dreaming. You think you won the tournament but you have no idea what is really going on.

Programs are not built overnight..

YJ's were working the sidelines this summer looking to expand to even more teams and girls. Will be a very interesting Fall. What does that say about the other programs if people would rather be on the 6th or "F" team rather than bee on the 2nd team of a another program?

Who would really pay to be on a 4th/5th/6th/7th team? Why? Absurd. Those teams are not recognized by that club at ALL!

I agree 91 was very well run this year and the coaching was top notch. They might not be as talented as some other clubs but they are definitely moving in the right direction. Interested to see where this program will be in the next few years with the Spallinas and all the high school varsity coaches involved. Say what you want about how much of a family Elevate has become but when push comes to shove the CSH kids come first as do the Manhasset kids at Liberty. Also Elevate is starting to price themselves out of many communities just look at how expensive their camps are double the price of what Top Gun offers.

There's not a large percentage of CSH kids at Elevate. Coaches kids and owners buddies kids come first

True about the lack of talent at 91, that is obvious if you ever watch them. Sounds like it's being run better though. My daughters Elevate team had 2 CSH kids which is less than 10% so I wouldn't say that is a lot.

Lack of talent is clearly an issue with 91. MOST not ALL but most of their teams (80% or so) do not play in any competitive tournaments. They play mostly in tournaments on LI and dont fare too well. They do not go to National Draw, Lax for Cure, etc. like YJ, TG, Elevate, etc. and play teams like M&D, Skywalkers, etc. Most 91 teams are not exposed to high level competition. I would think the fact that they play in low level tournaments and play B level teams and do not fare well, makes them a C Team. Again, this for MOST of their age groups.

If you mean MOST of their teams as their 3rd-7th grade, you are partially right. They go to Brine Club Championship where M&D And Skywalkers play. They go to tourneys on LI where YJ play (Babylon Lax Blast) and Hofstra where TG play. ALL of the grades above that go to all the top recruiting tourneys.
SO if you want your all star 4th grader to play other YJ teams and pay all the tolls and hotels in Maryland have at it! That's the biggest complaint from parents at that age group.
Getting the coaching and development with an age-appropriate tournament schedule is a good thing.

They used to say this about the boys 91 cub when it started. They had weak teams, would not be able to compete with express, etc. They got their boys program settled and soaring in about 6 years. During that time, they did lose sight of the girls program, which IMO- should not have been started until they solidified the boys program. I bet in a few years, 91 will be a strong girls club as well. It is about business, knowing lax/ having connections. Spallina knows about both. I think they will continue to bring in the bigger names for the girls, solid coaches, and in time you will see them growing. I find it interesting though, with the boys, they started focusing on the younger teams and grew the program up. With the girls, it appears they are focusing on some of the older teams first. GL to all the girls and may they land on a team where they are happy and learning. At the younger years, it should be about development and winning should not be a priority. The older years should be about exposure and recruitment. Winning is still important, but getting the kids into the right showcases and in front of the right coaches is half the battle. I think you will see continued positive growth in the girls program.

This was my older daughter's summer schedule. BTW National Draw is not a recruiting tournament Traveling with your 11 year old all over the Northeast to play other LI teams doesn't make your daughter better.
For the person who was asking about a good team for their daughter, read some of the comments here, the way they speak negatively about other programs; they bring that same crap to their sidelines!!
The ones that are on here just sayiing possitive stuff about their programs and not saying anything negative about other programs, I think says a lot about them and the programs they are involved in.

Yes, it's great to have the Spallina name, but they don't have the right Spallina involved on the girls side - the one who coached HS County champs, D2 national champs and now D1 Stony Brook. His focus is on the boys side.

This was my daughter's 91 summer schedule.

Thank you Team 91 Directors for posting.

This was my point about poor communication from 91. Even on here the 91 staff posting the message above is posting hotel info for tournaments that have past. Their commuication is lazy. Example above. Nothing has changed.

I will admit that, as a dad who is new to Long Island Elite club lacrosse, I am a little surprised by the aggressive nature of the texts and the venom some of the programs (parents) seem to have for the other programs. In most of the tournaments my kids have played in over the years (not at elite level, but still high quality), the parents seems more concerned that the kids play hard and try their best, and have fun. Personally, I regularly cheer for girls on the other team who make a great shot or a nice save.

Saw their 2018 team play this summer. They were just not competitive at any level against teams that were not very good. My friends daughter said going to some of the tournaments was absolute torture. She and a few other girls will not be going back.

It's crazy that so many people have so much to say about other teams, why do you care? If your daughter is happy, growing and having fun that's all you should care about. Not all kids have a desire to play on a "top" team or even have the skill to do so but that doesn't mean they shouldn't play. Put your kid where they will succeed and have confidence and don't worry about what anyone else says. There are great people on every team and there are crazies on every team, you'll know if a team is right for your child and your family.

You are something special Einstien.
I just copied my daughtet's last summer's schedule to disprove the comment that 91 doesn't go to top tourneys. Please read the whole thread.

This was my point about poor communication from 91. Even on here the 91 staff posting the message above is posting hotel info for tournaments that have past. Their commuication is lazy. Example above. Nothing has changed.

You are something special Einstien.
I just copied my daughtet's last summer's schedule to disprove the comment that 91 doesn't go to top tourneys. Please read the whole thread.

Team 91 also placed these teams in some of the lowest divisions in each tournament.

Last year 5 non travel girls on my daughters High School team went on to play in college 3 in divison 3 (2 via tryout, 1 recruited through video), 2 in division 2. I know for sure 1 of the d2 girls got some money not sure about the other one. Three of the freshman d3's got significant minutes. My other daughter plays travel because she likes it. Point is there is always a place to play in college if your interested even if you don't play travel. Now if you want that half ride, well I think most kids are born with that gene and just fine tune their skill through practice and a travel program.

For the person who was asking about a good team for their daughter, read some of the comments here, the way they speak negatively about other programs; they bring that same crap to their sidelines!!
The ones that are on here just sayiing possitive stuff about their programs and not saying anything negative about other programs, I think says a lot about them and the programs they are involved in.

So not being in the orginization, you know where they asked to be placed? Are you the same person on here who is the schedule guru and says TG and YJ always manipulate their schedules?
Enjoy being on the 3rd YJ team and paying all that travel money to play othe YJ teams in other states.

Definition of Insane: mentally disordered : exhibiting insanity AKA Yellow Jacket Parent when daughter's team is losing

Crazy parents is one thing-crazy director AKA Elevate is just plain embarrassing

Dave is so crazy that he drops anything to help out any kid or family in need.

That is so true, In last two weeks he organized charities for 2 elevate families in need due to tragic incidents - not something you would EVER see from another club. Things he doesn't publicize. He and this club is really what it means to be part of a club.

Not to mention the charity work he does for underprivileged kids during the holiday season.

It's called marketing - that seems to be the on thing that elevate is good at - website looks great too and it's downhill from there

[lacrosse] YJ Parent I am shocked that 91 is sitting here bragging about the talent in their GIRLS program? Where in the world is this coming from? Yes they playing the YJ tournament and the best 91 team in most age groups is equal to about the 4th YJ and would lose to the 3rd YJ team. They are NOT a top team from Long Island. Where in the world is this coming from? The only LI teams I would say go and compete at a high level are YJ, TG and Elevate (at most, not all ages) but give them credit for going to the hard tournaments and playing the best teams out there). Team 91, really? I mean come on people! They are a C club at best playing B or C clubs in B level tournaments. Let's call it what it is and move on.

I bet in a few years, 91 will be a strong girls club as well. It is about business, knowing lax/ having connections. Spallina knows about both. I think they will continue to bring in the bigger names for the girls, solid coaches, and in time you will see them growing. I find it interesting though, with the boys, they started focusing on the younger teams and grew the program up. With the girls, it appears they are focusing on some of the older teams first. GL to all the girls and may they land on a team where they are happy and learning. At the younger years, it should be about development and winning should not be a priority. The older years should be about exposure and recruitment. Winning is still important, but getting the kids into the right showcases and in front of the right coaches is half the battle. I think you will see continued positive growth in the girls program.

Yes, it's great to have the Spallina name, but they don't have the right Spallina involved on the girls side - the one who coached HS County champs, D2 national champs and now D1 Stony Brook. His focus is on the boys side.

Here is the real deal...... 91 is a boys club!

Please stop comparing Elevate to Yellow Jackets and Top Gun. They are closer to the lower half teams you continue to bash on this thread than those two clubs.

My daughters 2021 Elevate team beat TG black at National Draw and lost 3-2 to the best YJ team in their last playoff game. I am confused why they can't be compared?

This seems to be the problem with LI- we have so many clubs, we dilute the talent pool. Imagine if we had three major clubs with three super teams? Then the B teams would also be fairly strong. Some clubs have one or two strong teams, but then the rest of the years are weak. I know everyone wants a piece of the pie, but it is hard to compete out of state sometimes when you have a lot of good teams coming from LI, but others states send 1-2 great teams.

I'm tired of this pathetic attempt to assert that 2017 Elevate is better than YJ.

No excuses will be offered for the 1goal loss at the Ride. I wasn't there. However, shouldn't you also remind everyone of the results at U15 Nationals? Elevate lost to both the YJ 2018 Blue and 2017 Gold teams. What do you think the result would have been had they played 2017 Blue?

Also, zero Elevate players made the U19 National Team. But, there are 5 YJ players among the 7 girls selected for the team from Long Island. Hopefully no one will be ignorant enough to accuse those evaluators of favoritism and bias.

Everyone on this thread knows that the Yellow Jackets program is very strong. All the "hating" comes from people who are wondering if their kid will get the same opportunities and exposure on other clubs. Figure that out and take your daughter to the appropriate tryout. This is not rocket science.

Talent pool is diluted because there are too many teams on LI??? Seriously?

What's the best team in 2020?

TG.

Not even close. TG did not loose a single game this year.

How many overage girls do they have again? Play them in 2019's where they belong and they LOSE a lot ...

There are NO overage (as you call them) currently on the TG 2020 black team. If you believe there are, which there are Not, give some proof to support your fictitious claim.

Stop with all of your accusations . My kid has been on the TG 20 Black for two years and every kid on the team is going into 7th grade.

Not sure if it is accurate, but the story goes a few of the girls repeated a grade and "re-classed" their graduation year. Not sure if it is true and I have no problem with it, but I believe that is the accusation.

Thank you for the clarification but was the snide after remark necessary? This is why so many of the girls playing have [lacrosse] poor nasty attitudes on the field. Apparently the apples don't fall far from the trees.

That is not even close to true. You have 4-5 true 2020 girls on that team who could play with and against 2019s and be just fine.

That isn't the point. All the top 2020 teams have true 2020 girls that could play up and do "just fine". The problem lies with older girls playing down. It is the problem with a grade based system instead of age based. Wrong-minded people are incented to hold their kids back. The TG 2020s have held back kids on the roster. Makes a big difference, particularly at the 11,12,13 age levels when physical development of girls tends to be drastic. It says nothing about their talent level, they are a very good team. Just one that has an age advantage, that's all.

There are no older kids on the team! I think what has you confused is that 7-8 of them played on the TG 2019 three years ago because they were that talented - let's move on now and find the next excuse because this one is bogus and has no merit

Impossible ! The whole team is older than everyone else ! Every single one of them is 14! They have to be because my daughter is the best and she would never lose to a team that plays by the rules!

Actually, it is playing by the rules. The problem is the rules themselves. You shouldn't play by grade in a game as physical as lacrosse. Just like in hockey you should play by age. Kudos to TG 2020 for being a good team and playing by the rules, even if they have some older girls. The rules should be changed tho.

I hear BS went to all the 2020 girls houses when they were all 4 yrs old and payed for them to go to another year of pre-k so he could have all the older girls and beat everybody.

Too funny . Why do you TG people even reply. Do you have kids on the team that are already 13 and thus are school hold backs , yes. Do you have kids that will turn 13 prior to December 1, yes, again making them school hold backs . Are these kids allowed to play in grade level tournaments , yes.If you took those kids off your team and put them on YJ or TG or SW would the outcome of those games be different , I believe so . If those teams took a few kids off their 2019 teams and played them would the outcomes of those games be different , I believe so. Your best players on TG 2020 happen to be older than many 2019 players, is what it is but why bother denying it , not illegal as the rules are at this time. What I find interesting is that your 2019 superstar is actually a 2020 graduation year yet she gets to pick what age she plays at ( good for her playing age appropriate ).

I don't know if TG 2020 has oldt kids or not. However, your explanation means that there are probably older kids on all teams at all age levels so I woud say it probably all equals out and is not anything to worry about.

According to this poster who seems to know the details, the TG person who said "There are no older kids on the team!

Is flat out lying. Are you a liar?????

Maybe some of the kids were held back a grade for legitimate reasons unrelated to lacrosse. I do notice an inordinate number of grammar and usage errors on many of the posts. Perhaps maybe there is a little too much emphasis on lacrosse as college tool.

They will not reply because they are the [lacrosse] person who knows the truth but refuses to discuss it. They try to misdirect but notice no TG 2020 parent will come on here and deny they have school age holdbacks.

Doesn't matter, sounds like the kid is going over to the Yellow Jackets

Who would hold there kid back a year in school for lacrosse ? that is comical.

I am trying to make sense of all of this 2020 Black banter. You think that the TG 20 Black team has "kids" meaning more than one that are too old to be rising 7th graders.Someone has come on here and singled one of the kids out by naming her town. The 'Pequa kid that you singled out is a phenomenal athlete that is for a fact 12 years old and going into 7 the grade. Is she tall? Yes. Does she play up on older teams in the off season in other sports? Yes she does. The 20 Black team has 24 kids on the roster. Can I say that I know for a fact that every kid is 11&12 years old ? No I can not make that statement. Is my kid on the team and is she 11 ? That I can say .

We are talking about 11 & 12 year old girls that are playing a game. Please let it go. You are obsessed with a team that your kid doesn't play on! I have been around this team for the past two years and have never though that any of the girls could be reclassified. I wish you and your daughter well with whatever team she plays on. Please take the 'Pequa kid off your too old to play on a 2020 team list she is 12 end of story.

Who's going to YJ - the Pequa kid or the 2020 Superstar who plays on 2019? Oh wait no one really cares! Worry about your own kid and stop worrying about other people's kids.

Why would any 20 black kid want to leave the team? They have only lost one game in two years?

Because the proceeds from our annual "optional" BBQ goes to recruitment scholarships. Unlike the NCAA, we pay our players!

Sure and let Curcio control your kids future. Don't forget girls doing private training take priority pay and play.

It's the same on Jones team. Do the camp and training and move up the bench.

Are these kids allowed to play in grade level tournaments , yes.If you took those kids off your team and put them on YJ or TG or SW would the outcome of those games be different , I believe so . If those teams took a few kids off their 2019 teams and played them would the outcomes of those games be different , I believe so. Your best players on TG 2020 happen to be older than many 2019 players, is what it is but why bother denying it , not illegal as the rules are at this time. What I find interesting is that your 2019 superstar is actually a 2020 graduation year yet she gets to pick what age she plays at ( good for her playing age appropriate ).

According to this poster who seems to know the details, the TG person who said "There are no older kids on the team! I think what has you confused is that 7-8 of them played on the TG 2019 three years ago because they were that talented - let's move on now and find the next excuse because this one is bogus and has no merit"
Is flat out lying. Are you a liar?????

They will not reply because they are the [lacrosse] person who knows the truth but refuses to discuss it. They try to misdirect but notice no TG 2020 parent will come on here and deny they have school age holdbacks.

I am trying to make sense of all of this 2020 Black banter. You think that the TG 20 Black team has "kids" meaning more than one that are too old to be rising 7th graders.Someone has come on here and singled one of the kids out by naming her town. The 'Pequa kid that you singled out is a phenomenal athlete that is for a fact 12 years old and going into 7 the grade. Is she tall? Yes. Does she play up on older teams in the off season in other sports? Yes she does. The 20 Black team has 24 kids on the roster. Can I say that I know for a fact that every kid is 11&12 years old ? No I can not make that statement. Is my kid on the team and is she 11 ? That I can say .

We are talking about 11 & 12 year old girls that are playing a game. Please let it go. You are obsessed with a team that your kid doesn't play on! I have been around this team for the past two years and have never though that any of the girls could be reclassified. I wish you and your daughter well with whatever team she plays on. Please take the 'Pequa kid off your too old to play on a 2020 team list she is 12 end of story.

Take any one, or even better two kids off 2020 black it doesn't matter, they still dominate. They are strong because they have a dozen kids who are well trained to play the right way with quick precise ball and player movement. They were brought to the team with high lax IQs. Add the fact that they have pretty much the only real coach TGs has, they become a solid team. They play at their best when they avoid isolation plays and keep to the motion. Take any players in question of age off the team( and I'm not so sure there are any) and they still win.

Take any one, or even better two kids off 2020 black it doesn't matter, they still dominate. They are strong because they have a dozen kids who are well trained to play the right way with quick precise ball and player movement. They were brought to the team with high lax IQs. Add the fact that they have pretty much the only real coach TGs has, they become a solid team. They play at their best when they avoid isolation plays and keep to the motion. Take any players in question of age off the team( and I'm not so sure there are any) and they still win.

Amen to that!

Is this a joke.Watch them play the whole offense including the draw is run thru one kid. Watch them in a close game and see if they take their superstar out of the game, no way. Watch in the big games and they do not play some kids at all while some kids do not come out of the game.Very good players at the top of that team with not very good players at the bottom.I think the 2015 will be different than the 2014 in this age group much like 2013 was different than 2014.Watch out for YJ as we have played both their top teams and they are deep , move a couple kids up and down or move a couple kids positions ie middies to attack or defense and they may surprise you.

Yes, the kid is an amazing athlete, why wouldn't you use her abilities to help win? It is travel lax and I'm pretty sure winning is the goal. However, she is by no means the entire team. There is a group of truly talented kids on the team (top kids). They all do their part to make the team successful. No to worry TG 2020 black will continue to grow and dominate!

who is the coach of 2020 black?

Not worried at all but don't fool yourself without that kid you are not nearly as good as you think. I get its travel lax but if the team is so deep why the need to play some kids so much more in tight games.Also its 11 y.o. lacrosse so get over yourself. A group of truly talented kids, ask anyone who has played your team and they will all only remember one kid. When you people say you would win even if she were on the other team you are fooling yourselves, and really insulting her.

How long have all of you been around sports? Many sound new to this, here's how this usually goes, the biggest, strongest kids on the team stand out, this year. If they continue to grow and stay the biggest and fastest kid on the team they continue to stand out. 9 times out of ten the other kids catch up and they melt back into the pile. The smaller kids who dominate stand the best chance at continued dominance several years down the road. I have watched countless adolescent athletes in countless sports trend back to the median, Getting excited over a jump start 11 year old is ridiculous. Come back in at least three or four years and you will have a better idea what your dealing with.

You really can't comprehend the attitudes of many of the parents on the top teams .... YJ , TG, they all think their 7th grader is going to start this year on Varsity

Not sure what you are all talking about, CR told us that if we paid over $3,000 a year starting with the Hornets and stayed with it until 12th grade - no cheating, do every clinic, use her personal trainers, play winter league, eat her magic luau bbq food and wear bee apparel 7 days a week my daughter would be guaranteed a spot on a D1 college program with lots of money. She would also be recruited by 9th grade regardless of my daughters DNA.

I think everyone needs to be realistic about their kids abilities and the parents on my daughters team are definitly drinking the kool aid after a banner 6th grade summer season LOL

My 7th grader WILL start on Varsity, she's also 15 and plays on 2020 (we knew when she was 2 she was gonna be a superstar so we held her back a few years) she's small but we're confident she'll grow and kick the tall kids a** and she's been recruited by 12 schools already.

Here's an idea, why don't you spend more time watching your own kid play? is it it too uncomfortable? Also, take two best players off yj blue and they would have there hands full with the C team and couldn't compete with the B team

The difference is everyone knows who the best TG kid is because she is so much better than any other kid on the team , not sure who those two best kids on YJ are that you are talking about?

So says the father of the small kid. Check out the dominate players in college , not very small.

Watch in the big games and they do not play some kids at all while some kids do not come out of the game.Very good players at the top of that team with not very good players at the bottom.I think the 2015 will be different than the 2014 in this age group much like 2013 was different than 2014.Watch out for YJ as we have played both their top teams and they are deep , move a couple kids up and down or move a couple kids positions ie middies to attack or defense and they may surprise you.

Here's an idea, why don't you spend more time watching your own kid play? is it it too uncomfortable? Also, take two best players off yj blue and they would have there hands full with the C team and couldn't compete with the B team

The difference is everyone knows who the best TG kid is because she is so much better than any other kid on the team , not sure who those two best kids on YJ are that you are talking about?

If you don't know who it is then it aint your kid! The team wins or losses depending on two middies, evryone but you knows who they are

None of the TG parents know or care who the best two middies on YJ Blue are. But the YJ parents are obsessed with TG2020 Black and know everything about the team. Sad ......

Whats sad is you are so clueless, there is nothing to know about your TG team other than stop the one kid. Good to know you speak for all TG parents, you sound like a know it all toolbag.

Stop the one kid and you still lose!

The kid is coming over to YJ but the parents said they will only play on the Jones team. Tough decision for CR now. Stay tuned

What happened when that one kid got tossed from your game against MD, you got smoked , was not even close .Remove that one kid and your team is average.

Average? Not even close! Were already losing when she got tossed! Lost yes, got smoked no.

It's tough being at the top when people have to go back over a year and talk about the teams last loss.

I would like to address a few things. 1st I believe the father or mother was speaking about girls still growing up. Not 1 smaller kid in particular. 2nd the dad on 2020 yj blue that doesn't believe a couple of girls are so much better is just ignorant. Your kid stands out because what's on her head and not in it. Just because your coach tells you how great she is at $$$ training. Of course she will say that to keep the money train rolling along. You are nuts!!! Why do you care how good or bad tg is. 3rd I bet if you took the 2 better kids and put them on jones, and you took the 2 lesser kids (just saying) there is no doubt they would hand your team a loss. I know a couple of girls pretty well (seen them play for yrs). I bet if someone on our team reached out to them they may jump ship. 4th relax!!! Is your daughter having fun? Mine is and that is all that really matters. 5th. No way that girl going to jones.

Only loss in two years

Wonder what would happen if you split the team in half to go play 7v7 fall tournaments? Would the team with the dominate player win every time they matched up?

Going to TG Purple?

I'm absolutely amazed how many parents have no real sense. TG is better than YJ. Or Blue is better than Gold. Or these kids are the whole team. What is this all judged on? Other than Curcio playing Jones this season, what is this based on? National Draw? Neither TG Black or YJ Blue played many tough teams this season. Most were blowouts against teams that had no chance from the opening whistle. Including teams in their own club. Both teams have plenty of talent. Are there a couple of girls that may be better than most? Of course. But there are 12 girls on the field and they did a fine job for both clubs this season. Honestly, I hope it gets better as the girls get older because I don't think anyone enjoys these useless blowout tournaments. Except BS and CR, of course.

What a loser, whats on her head? What are you babbling about, seems a little early to be hitting the sauce. You know the girls so well where are the better YJ kids from, sorry wrong again you have no idea.

The better YJ kids are from Jones silly!

Is it true they are putting Jones and Curcio together for next season since they both seemed to be stretched a little thin?

I believe the head coach wasn�t at the only game they lost???

I would not worry about the superstar kid she will soon be out there to make only one kid look better. Everything all great now that you guys are winning your games but that team will implode come recruiting time when you cool aide drinkers realize what is there 5 total attack kids w the connected one never leaving the field, 3 full middie lines . Next year the plan switches to run everything from X and the superstar will learn in a hurry her job is to make the connected one look good.

Hey clueless....you can not MAKE a kid look good....they either have it or in your case..don�t have it!

As a NY Jet fan, I know how you feel. Not a day goes by I don't wish we could make the patriots go away. What you need to realize here is that nearly all the post here on this topic are from YJ parents. Wish yourselves away.

I doubt that. There is no need for yj parents to constantly have to come on here and boast about how good their program is so it may be others just stirring the pot and trying to throw it the yjs way. The bottom line is YJs get recruited more than any other club. It's not boasting or bragging - it is what it is. Look at the college commit list on yj site. you all hate the YJs so much there is no reason to come here and put the club down. If you're happy with where you chose your kid to play then no need to bang your chest about how horrible yjs are. Be happy and move on. Carol rose knows what she's doing.

[You really can't comprehend the attitudes of many of the parents on the top teams .... YJ , TG, they all think their 7th grader is going to start this year on Varsity [/quote]

I don't think all parents think that their seventh graders are going to start on or even make a varsity team. However, there is a rising seventh grader who has high school level skills per older players in her town. Children are less likely to wear foggy goggles so she probably is a truly exceptional player.

Again are you having a conversation with yourself because I have to say I have no idea what you are talking about, does the kid wear colorful hair ribbons or something. You sound like a toolbag because most have no idea what you are saying.

Many kids have played up on varsity as 7th graders and been successful. The kid that plays up is in fact age appropriate to be playing 2019 and yes had the stick skills of a high school age kid but honestly so do most 6, 7,8 grade kids on the top travel teams .Will be interesting to see how she responds to the more aggressive play of high school kids , she is not big nor a physical specimen by any means.

Be more concerned about her social maturity and not her lacrosse IQ you idiots. Boys, drinking, parties etc, etc. Except for you crazy travel lacrosse parents looking to build a lacrosse resume its a bad idea to mix middle school kids with high schoolers.

Wait until end of October when all the tryout dust settles, we will see where everyone lands, we will then have a better idea of which teams look strong.

[quote=Anonymous]If all the rumors of kids jumping ship are true, Legacy is the new team to beat 2020

Sounds insane that anybody would be willing to leave an established team and go to a start up program. The coach looked great coaching a very talented team. You'll find out what type of coach he really is when you don't have all that talent.

Who will be coaching the 2020 Legacy team?

So funny , isn't that what everyone said about TG a couple of years ago. If the guy is as good a coach as all you TGs said then why would you not follow him, or at least go to the tryout . I forgot BS wants his money now hoping you don't go and check out other clubs .

He may be the only coach between YJ and Top Guns who has a clue how to coach. All of those coaches who work for YJ have been getting kids who play travel year round...their HS just have more kids who pass and catch...not necessarily know the game...they are not being taught anything other than �go to the goal� and just physically try to push and intimidate on defense...what are they learning? all of those athletes and how many have really produced at the next level? Don�t give me the few that have done well INSPITE of the coaching you think they are getting

You really are a moron. Yj players have produced in the college ranks for years.Two YJ players were Tewaaraton finalists this year alone.

All he wants is the best 2020 TG Mid. She goes Legacy and he's a legit threat and TG becomes average. 1 scholarship and your program is on the way.

Those kids were born with it and fine tuned a little at college. Some 22 year YJ summer coach didn't make them what they are no way

Thank you! Someone else with sense. ..0 coaching!!!

Just watching some of their summer games and spring HS games most of these �big name� coaches know very little...they just have more kids passing and catching...more depth because YJ has given them 4 teams deep per age to have kids play year round...they improve because they keep their sticks in their hands...NOT the coaching!!!

In 2021 both Skakandi and Thorn only showed up to half the practices. The where only at about 3/4 of the games and didn't show for two tournaments. It's up to try parents to find opportunities to develop your kid.

The best kids will be best wherever they go and by whoever coaches them. When they play against really good team defense then they will be exposed a little because they coached poorly but those are the kids that run into the wall, back up and reset, run into the wall, back up and reset, run into the wall back up and reset and then score. My kids had high school girls (of course they were college committed girls lol) running our practices. I'm not sure if they were even paid. CR where is all my cash going? My kid was not born with it so she needs some hard work and good coaching to keep up

what makes you think skakandi and thorn can coach? they are blessed with kids that all play travel so their HS programs are successful...they are handed lacrosse players...they can�t develop them...HOWEVER, still better than a college kid.

Blessed with kids who can all play travel yet posters will complain they don't coach their travel teams. Which is it, people? They're both great coaches .

Omg what a joke this statement was

they are both coaches...period...don�t use the term great because you drink YJ cool aid!

Skakandi has regularly choked in big games at the HS level. Definitely would not classify her as a great coach.

And I'm sure you were your daughters youth coach and think you could do better than any high school coach. Get over yourself

Manhasset basically runs a year round team with Liberty travel and they managed their first state title in the last 11 years. I'll take Skakandi over that hype anyday.

Name one game that Skakandi has won with her coaching?

On the other hand it is widely known amongst Section 8 coaches the games she has personally lost.

D.G. was a successful college assistant before coaching Manhasset, she also has only been 'Set for 9 of those 11. In relation to perceived success, D.G. took only 9 years to win her first state, as opposed to C.R., If I'm not mistaken it took her almost 20 years. Skak is a good coach but remember one of her top players is a Liberty girl

YJ is where it's at!! Proof is in college commit list. Look at 2017 class all YJ. It's clear the college coaches are all over YJ!!

You are on a 2020 thread. It's many years from recruiting age. Please go to the YJ thread and pound your chest.

Actually not that funny and you know . That kid is far and away your best player and after her you have maybe 2-3 top level kids , the rest could play purple and it would make no difference. I hope she leaves so you bunch of morons will learn how mediocre you would be without her.

The new Legacy Club is going to be interesting. For one, most parents do not want to bring their daughters to a boys club. It has been extremely unsucessful regardless of who you bring in as a director/coach. 91 and Express are prime examples. I can see the draw for the 2020 team because of the coach and his success with the TG group. I cant see the top girls on TG black leaving a highly successful team for a startup at Legacy. To me, the risk outways the reward. What if Legacy fails? What do you do then? I figure that YJ Blue will have no one interested. So to me, that leaves alot of girls (or parents) that may be unhappy with TG purple or YJ Jones and below. Plus maybe some girls from some other teams, like Beach Bums. But then again, you never know. Good Luck to them. Im sure BS is holding his breath.

No but pretty sure the one telling him how great his daughter is and happy your kid gets to ride her coat tails all the way to a few championships . The same guy that then tells people she is not that good and the team might even be better if she left.

Thanks for your insight ole wise one. If the kids are happy and the parents are also it's a win win.

SL is a great coach and will draw his loyal girls from TG. Best coach in the age group.

Just another parent coach. Beware. Hes going to have a team of a couple of TG Black and then mostly disgruntled TG Purple and YJ Jones girls. Should be a real fun sideline.

How about those that want to follow his philosophy. ...certified coaches... teacBing at practice. ..I have watched his practice. ..no one and I mean no one comes close to maximizing practice time.

I whole heartedly agree. Stick to a program of only girls. Like the above poster wrote Boys and then girls program do not go well together no matter who the director is. The boys program always is first. He/She listed the programs. SL is a great coach but he sure can whine with the best of them. Watch him on the sidelines he's the Bobby Knight of girls lacrosse both on the HS level as well as the club level. Look before you leap.

It is his leadership they want...he managed the personalities of a very ..mutitalented team like only a professional can

It is his leadership they want...he managed the personalities of a very ..mutitalented team like only a professional can
You obviously have no clue..daddy coach...you need to stop posting with your ignorance

Ok Mrs. Levy!

With the talent that 2015 Black had Stevie Wonder could of coached them. They have the best player in the state in S A and his daughter is a close second they had two top goalies plus an All Star supporting cast that have been playing for a few years. One of the top club teams around. By the way how far did EI go in the playoffs? Look before you leap.

TG black will leave and follow SL not all but 6-8. Tryouts this weekend I'm sure it will have a bunch of talented girls attending

I'm sorry but I feel the need to reply to this one... you are pretty ignorant. Coaching is everything!!! You have no idea who will show up to tryouts. So why speculate. As far as a fun sideline. You must see the world through yj glasses because your blue team parents are ridiculous. Telling other parents kids what they should be doing and how to do it. Talking trash behind each other's backs... Vile...Tg black not much better. Half of us don't even speak to each other. Let the kids tryout and see what happens. I for one am intrigued.

SL is a great coach not disputing that. The 20 black team he coached only played two competetive games all season . M&D Black 9-4, and Skywalkers Blue 11-7 . Only one game all season did they not have a lead at halftime. I think they were down 7-5 at halftime to SW. Not a lot of stress on a coach with a team loaded with strong players.

Hey jackass this is a TG issue not YJ. YJ blue parents and players at this age group get along well and respect one another , so your vile nonsense is just ignorant . I have seen the division on TG black personally and if my kid played TG I would certainly think about going w their only descent coach . Yes my kid plays YJ , could not be happier w Curcio , or the parents on the team .

2015 black was missing two top scoring middies all year... they lost to YJB 5to3 this summer.....still managed to pull all the right strings...

Keep telling your self that. .. coaching counts in those big games at all levels..so once again intrigued and wondering about Legacy

When you pay her 75.00 a hr for private lessons of course you are happy with her. And stop that nonsense that all us parents get along

The training is more important than the games. Any parent will tell you nobody ran better practices than SL and the girls are better because of him. I'm sure their our parents that are ready to jump ship and have their girls continue to grow and develop under SL

One good point brought up is loyal TG black will leave to be with SL so that will account for 6-8 girls no doubt then sprinkle some YJs in possibly 3-4 so whoever said SL lLegacy will be made up of approximately 75% TG/YJ hit the nail on the head. Good luck with Legacy that one team will be good no doubt I would not be surprised if more TG left. Smart move by the Legacy directors well thought out as BS is spinning his wheels trying to save the 2020 teams.

Why would CR want this? More competition to take her girls. I think you need to come with some new material.

You TG people are too funny, when I talked to you the past 2 years all I heard was how great SL was as a coach. Now he leaves and the coach means nothing. Why would you not consider leaving.If you are one of the top players then why not , if SL is running year round practices that will surely help your daughter develop as a player and if she is that good college coaches will take notice. If you are on the back half of the team or on purple why not go and check out the tryouts possibly moving up to one of the top players at legacy and being coached every week by SL will improve your chances of being noticed.Yes my daughter will at least see what its all about at the tryout.

Conversely, it may be better for those girls to stay. If SL is going to take the top half of the roster (which I wouldn't be so sure about), the kids on the bottom half would be better off staying and moving up the depth chart. Why follow the other girls and wind up in the same situation as before? The Top purple could then move up to black.

My daughter is on TG Black. She's pretty much a girl on the middle of the roster. Which way to go is a difficult decision for us. My daughter had a great time this season and we had a successful year. The question is, is it because of the coach or is he a product of having a talented roster? You can go to tryouts and see who shows up and try to make a decision from there, but who's there won't tell the whole story. SL has been giving private evaluations/tryouts to players from TG as well as other clubs, so what you see on Saturday isn't necessarily what you get. I wish these organizations would post a proposed roster for all to see.

This post makes the most sense, the philosophy of Why not should be on everyone's minds. I am wondering how involved SL will be at the '21 and '22 level. Ive been told he has a strong internal pension to teach the game and always has detailed practice plans. Is this true? How many coaches out there have detailed practice plans.

Ask your coaches if they do that; if they snicker at you run run very fast. If they say not at this age, politely turn and walk away. A coach with a plan is a dedicated coach one who knows what they are doing and what they wants to accomplish.

Not many attack playes will jump to legacy 2020.

Why anyone from TG 20 Black would leave is beyond me..... Leave a team that has lost only one game in two years for a start up? The EI kids from purple will go because they really don't have a choice. The kids that were moved to purple will go I can't blame them. Everyone else will stay put unless they want to go be the star of that team rather than blend in on 20 black . The coaching isn't even an issue since SS is taking over . I hope all the girls stay but those that go good luck I hope it works out for them.

SS is taking over the 2020's? What is she going to do with the 2018's then?

If SS takes over look for YJ's from the 5 teams to look at jumping

SS taking over is the rumble so girls don't leave. How much time can a D1 college coach commit to a team of 7th graders. Will she be present at some games? Yes. Is she taking over and going to spend as much time as parents would like? Be realistic with what she is capable of doing.

Just observing this thread it sounds like the girls on 2020 Black are in the driver's seat here. If they are interested in having continued success why wouldn't they just stick together? The formula they have apparently works. The name of the club is irrelevant. They are not the product a their club but rather their hard work and dedication in the off season. Why not just pick the best coach and go there?

When do the players who received emails have to commit by?

YJ's can give you one of their high priced 22 year coaches lol

Why would you even think that, how many YJ players left at 2018 to go play for Shannon. More left Shannon to go play YJ . Shannon coaching 2020 would be a negative to me , she has way too much on her plate, the pecking order, Div 1 program, Recruiting for a D1 program, running TG, recruiting for her 2018 teams, recruiting for her 2017 teams, recruiting for 2016 teams, keeping her brother awake during games, working with 2020.

I will take SS coaching my kid for every practice and 60% of the tournaments over a start up club.

Isn't that against NCAA rules? Picture John Calipari coaching an AAU basketball team.

Nope she can either coach at a tournament or recruit . She can't do both.

SS taking over is the rumble so girls don't leave. How much time can a D1 college coach commit to a team of 7th graders. Will she be present at some games? Yes. Is she taking over and going to spend as much time as parents would like? Be realistic with what she is capable of doing.

I will take SS coaching my kid for every practice and 60% of the tournaments over a start up club.

You assume she will be at every practice. Listen I hope it works out, they are a great bunch of girls but no denying losing SL was a big loss

[quote=Anonymous]Why would you even think that, how many YJ players left at 2018 to go play for Shannon. More left Shannon to go play YJ . Shannon coaching 2020 would be a negative to me , she has way too much on her plate, the pecking order, Div 1 program, Recruiting for a D1 program, running TG, recruiting for her 2018 teams, recruiting for her 2017 teams, recruiting for 2016 teams, keeping her brother awake during games, working with 2020

All that and still better than Curio.

Sounds like the F&F parents have over thrown Curcio and is being moved to another team. Question is will Jones be elevated or is it a totally new coach for the age group. Money is on a new coach because of the tension with Jones and the parents by the Curcio group.

Why would you believe some moron who just makes nonsense up. Makes you look just as pathetic as the moron. TG is in a bit of a panic and thats why you all have to send in the check ASAP, BS does not want you checking out other clubs because he knows his is a joke. Please tell us the coach at TG that has any experience, SS nice kid but honestly what has she done to make Hofstra better other than make all TG players pay her for running crappy fall tournaments.Now go wake AS up its halftime.

Unfortunately you are likely correct, and that's the politics of lacrosse. On average the TG players are better, hence 2020 black is better than 2020 blue, but YJ can't even get the politics out of the way between Crucio and Jones. If they put all the best players between those two teams on blue, they would compete with 2020 black. Don't seem to matter now anyway, black is cooked.

The elimination of Curcio is the first step in making a powerhouse 2020 team

You lost me after "on average, TG players are better."

I am not a TG or YG, however I have been reading the childish back and forth on this forum.. You people all need to find other things to occupy your time. It seems that there is a lot of time spent debating nonsense, I am not sure how you parents are helping your girls succeed at Lax if you spend 24-7 on this forum crying over who's better. If you all spent as much time one on one with your girls, I am sure there would be no need for this childish banter. There are a lot of talented girls on Long Island, If all TG 20 black were to leave today, Guess what would happen you geniuses?? Other girls would happily take their spot. Lacrosse did not begin nor does it end with TG 20 black. You people act as if there are only 22 girls that are good at Lacrosse on Long Island. There are a lot of talented girls and there are more than enough to field TG, YJ, LEGACY whatever!! It seems that the people that are always so negative have an axe to grind. Maybe your girls are not as talented as you may think so you get on this forum and bash everything or everyone. Who really cares if the girls leave with the coach? Let them! Other girls would now get the chance to show what they are made off. Grow up people! Go to your tryouts on Saturday, or whenever and be happy wherever your daughter plays whether it's TG, YJ, LEGACY.

Not worried about it at all, everyone knows that team has one dominant player then the rest of the players. Couple kids besides that one kid would probably make blue but not many and the parents know it . Yes my kid plays YJ and have gotten many calls from TG parents asking if I can put in a good word for their daughter, unfortunately I have little pull.

HA HA HA that was the funniest thing I've heard all day. Cut it out! No one is asking you to put in a good word to go to Yellow Jackets.. Everyone makes the team, simple you pay you play.

you are a jackass...start up club has a professional who deals with young athletes for a living...has a degree that is applied in his daily work...not just someone who was a great player! Fool

then follow him like we are! we see the big picture!

jones and curio kids all need to give legacy a try...people just seem to get it..It isn�t the brand that gets kids recruited...it is the kids talent...you are all delusional

its playing ability jackass...not the club brand..they may have more skilled kids and better coaching at that level

I'm sure you wont be missed, whatever club you play for now.

So when Curcio is still coaching the team and every kid returns to tryout what will you TG losers make up then. I just hope the one good TG kid follows SL then you parents will see your TG team will look like the rest of the club ,mediocre . You guys should stop worrying about Curcio I hear your founder( or is she the daughter of the founder) has interviewed for a better job far far away from the annoying TG parents. That will be the end ,your best coach leaves then the only other actual coach leaves. The good news you will not have half the organization committing to Hofstra which is a sub par academic and sub par womens lax school. Game over TG .

Someone's really bitter, I guess your daughter getting rejected by TG has left you permanently scarred huh??? Get over it. No one cares about the nonsense you are typing. Once again no one really cares about YJ. Hence you sitting here trying to be relevant. It's still " You pay, you play" Move on.

You must be the same person who always eludes to the one dominate girl who carries the team. Not the case, the team splits and plays each other at many off season tournaments. By your logic the team with that girl will dominate the other average player team. That doesn't happen at all. She is a strong player that can "go to goal" against most teams, play a good defense and that is not the case. A good team moves the ball extremely fast and well and catches the other team off balance and takes advantage. Isolation play looks great when a single player plays a weak defense, girls shine, not very good lacrosse though. 2020 black is good because they play good team lacrosse, not because they rely on a go to goal girl. Well they were good.

Curcio is definitely out and the F&F are asking CR to take the team even on a limited basis. Sounds like a similer deal to what SS is doing with TG Black. Now Jones is angry because she knows she won't be able to hold onto the kids she wants because CR trumps all. Could Jones jump to a new club? The drama that is 2020 continues!

This is the funniest thing I've read on here. This person doesn't know what they're talking about. Curcio isn't going anywhere! Jones would never leave either. I know this is hard for many of you to grasp, the majority are one big happy family...for real!

Dude you really are a complete douchbag , your wife I guarantee cheats on you because you are a weasel that just makes crap up, my guess you are BS. Your 2020 coach left and now are in a panic that kids will be leaving to go YJ so you make up some nonsense to scare some kids into paying . YJ coaching at the 2020 age is better than all TG coaches in the organization. Hey BS I believe you should bring a hammock for your coaches to take a nap during a game . TG parents you seriously will keep paying to have your kid coached by a boy taking a nap during the game ,sorry but that's unacceptable . The TG ship is sinking, if your daughter plays 2020 get out while you can SL will be happy to have you and I know he will stay awake for the entire game .

How's Westhampton doing?

They all looked thrilled when Curcio's team pounded Jones team every time they played. YJ set it up so their B team would get hammered four times this summer and mercifully changed the schedule at the last tournament so they didn't have to face each other. Yeah one big happy family.

You need new material. This is old news. Yellow Jackets staff in tact and registration for tryouts at capacity

Capacity for the elite YJ's? Just add another team. Tell us how many kids got cut last year? They will make 10 teams if they can and get another 20 year old to coach them

Your judging the quality of a club by the number of kids that get cut? Seriously everyone knows YJ makes a lot of teams thanks for that Einstein. TG makes as many teams as possible also the difference is YJ 3 team is better than TG top team in some cases. Lets just say I guarantee more TG black leave TG this year than YJ blue players leave YJ.

You're missing the point-people still want to play for Yellow Jackets

So why call it elite and the best of the best? If everyone makes it they need a new slogan.

This not a difficult concept, their best teams are at an elite level nationally.

Depends what your definition of strong is. They are not as strong as YJ Blue, MD Black, or SW blue. Better than just about everyone else.

Is Legacy only going to be a 2020 team?? Is this team the only focus?? What about the other teams that tried out today? maybe you should suggest they change the name to Legacy 2020 since this is only team you are worried about. Seems like a bad investment if my daughter is 2021 or 2022. Thanks in advance for letting us know that if your daughter is not on 2020 then Legacy isn't the way to go.. TG or YJ it is

Fool this is the 2020 thread. I'm sure they will have as much focus on those teams as well. You just happen to be wrapped up with the 2020 nuts. Welcom aaboard.

All the other clubs except TGs win here, the best team in the age group vanishes clearing the way for all the other clubs to take top spot. Does Legacy attract enough talent to be considered among them? Give SL a year or so and maybe.

I was at 2022 and there was a core of girls to build a team...they can add pieces to the puzzle as it goes....good starting core for the young group...

A YJ mom was posting from her cell phone, and got mixed up between the post to BOC, and the text message she was sending to her daughters coach as if sexting would help get her kid on the blue team�lol

Since this is a2020 thread. ..I counted 65 @ tryout. ... they can run two competitive teams

About 70 for 2020

2 competitive teams , I doubt it , that would be 1 more than TG already.

Spoke to someone at Legacy. ..64 # tryouts

rosters being announced is one thing, people signing up for the team is a whole other story. The talent was there to field a very good team, but will these players actually choose to join or were they there kicking tires. SL is a great coach, can he truly get 15-20 girls to field a team this year? Where were the girls from? Is there another tryout, private tryouts? You guys say 50 players showed, someone said 65. Can't even get that number straight.

I can't get all those YJ stickers off my car so I have to stay. I think that is part of the YJ marketing plan.

I counted a couple more than 50 girls. About 6-8 TG Black, maybe 4 or 5 YJ Jones. The rest were from other teams (TG Purple, lower YJ teams, Beach Bums, etc.) I did not see or hear about any YJ Blue girls attending. Truthfully, I think he was hoping for more girls to follow him as well as getting more Jones girls. I thought that there would be more of them also. If the top girls that were at tryouts stay, he should have one pretty good team. But that is a big if.

From what I saw a lot of tire kickers. A couple of TG black just covering all bases. Some YJ b team kids. Not sure if this is going to take off . Remember the grass is always greener.

I thought it was interesting that your Green machine aka TGdaddy was at the tryout, thought he was TG thru and thru

Green Machine Daddy is looking to follow SL also.

Can anybody name reasons not to follow SL? Clearly he is a great coach. How does your daughter suffer from getting great coaching? So she may not win every championship each weekend. So what. Learn the game the best you can so they can be the best lax players they can be.

Two green machine coaches were there.

What makes him a Great Coach?

His ability to teach the game. The girls are constantly getting reps. They are put into game like situations. This ability to pass information on is why I say he is a great coach.

Not saying he is not a good coach but every other HS coach its all how many championships they have won etc. , why is he immune from this.

HS coaches win because of the culture in their town. .. their youth league.... every Winning coach gets handed players

Pretty hard for the F&F to say they aren't on the plan as we approach the Luau and the cruise. Only the major kiss asses sign up. We did the party last year, not doing it this year but if the cruise materializes people are going to have a hard time defending why they are on a boat with CR

Wow so not one high school winning coach plays any role? You must be a youth coach or director.

Is this a joke. You try to abuse people who went to the Luau and may go on the cruise then turn around and say you are one of those kiss asses who went to the Luau. Two things you would know if you were actually YJ and had gone to the Luau, its actually fun if you enjoy hanging with some of the parents from your team, and you would have known the Luau already happened. Nice try TG.

I was at the luAu with my kids and had a great time. Not sure how going to the luau is kissing [lacrosse] but whatever. Oh and I am not going on the cruise because we already have a family trip booked that week-I'm sure CR is not going to lose sleep over that. If you knew her even a little you would know that.

No. . But certain towns have a lax culture and some coaches fight the soccer culture on a yearly basis. .HS coaches play a role of course... but certain programs. .NP , Mt Sinai, EsM, get loads of kids that are lax first year round commitment

You people are whack. Who would want their daughter to commit to a college in 7th grade?

My guess is you are her mom or dad . That being said the kid is good ,not dominant, very good offensively, subpar defensively. Will score goals but will turn it over on forced shots and not much of a team player. May sound silly but kid is soft , will shy away from aggressive play.

It was not a joke, they cannot compete on the field with YJ so they have to belittle everything else about the program.

You are on the 2020 thread and you are going to imply that TG can't compete with YJ? That's funny!

YJ had the 8th grade commit and are pushing hard for the first 7th grade commit. I guess I have to set up some college visits this fall she's 12 I don't want to fall behind.

Fair point, however, since this is not a 2020 TG thread, it applies to 99% of the haters. I would be careful about 2020 TG, next summer's team could be a bit different.

2020 Black will not be too different at all. Addition by subtraction !

YJ greatly improve is their 2020 top team and TG got weaker. It is that simple.

TGs one bright spot just got dimmer. Did they gain any top players? No, they will bring in and move players up from purple to fill the voids, making them weaker, there is no arguing that. Losing the coach, instantly weaker plus the long term effects of the missing training from SL will only become evident in the long term..... Flip side YJ gets to replace the bubble kids, adding solid players and depth, add in another ridiculous talent floating down, YJ team gets a huge boost in strength. It is seriously over.

yes, we are doomed. how will we go on? .... all hope is lost.... girls will never feel good about game or themselves ever again.... It's the lax apocalypse..........

Are you all kidding me? Get a friggin life!!! Your extra creepy stalking of 7th grade girls is only matched by your skill at being total tools!

Last week the big discussion on this thread was about SL and 2020 Legacy. Now there is not much talk. Why? How many bought into it and decided to follow the coach?

Good luck w your ridiculous talent , she will make your team worse , she will score a lot of goals and take more forced shots than your team has ever seen. May be the case of a relented kid who actually makes your team worse .

Just one from TG his daughter ! Lol

Say whatever you want but there is a reason most of the parents on TG are not sad to see this kid go. Good individual player , absolutely without a doubt, good team player, not in most teammates minds. Will she make your team better, maybe, depends on how your coach can reign her in but good luck to them as no other coach has been able to.Why do you think BS and SS were not sad to see her go.

Is that the same kid that normally leads her team in draw controls and assists. I did not know she was a big scorer as well. She certainly will hurt whatever team she plays for. You are obviously clueless.

my daughter played on TG with this girl. Everyone knows she is a great talent, and everyone knows she is a selfish player and her parents are a handful. I think this conversation happened here last year regarding her and the talk got personal. The coach taking her over to his new team was also annoyed at the girls go to goal mentality, so there he gets to work with her again. He'll do anything to win, as long as his daughters are part of the equation. Have fun. Does she make your team better? probably, but my daughter is glad to see them go for many reasons. Losing the best player on a team always hurts, but other girls will get a chance to pick up the pieces best they can.

What age group will this girl be playing in? 19 or 20

my daughter also played with her on TGs. The girl has crazy good lacrosse skills, field awareness, ability etc... For her age, the best player I have ever seen. You jealous parents must not know the game very well at all from your clueless comments. She gets her share of goals but is far from being a one dimensional go to goal kid like the ones everyone on here seems to hype up. This kid moves the ball, passes, assists, plays hard clear defense, busts her [lacrosse] on draws, ground balls..... If jealousy has blinded you, shame on you. YJ score another great player. Don't worry some other kid will step up and look your daughter away and you can hate on them next.

Thanks mom and dad

Rumor has it that TG is losing 10 kids from 2019 and 2020 Black. Is that true? Also heard many of the 2019 were top players and the 2020 kids were also some of the better kids. Is this true? How often do YJ Blue players move to TG.

Not sure but I do not think a YJ blue player has ever left for TG. Tells you something if you are on YJ blue or whatever they are calling their top team nowadays.

YJ Curcio is 4th or 5th best in 2020. Why don't you win something before you start bragging . LOL

2020 lost 3 girls...not top players. Nice girls, good players, but just parts of a puzzle. Good luck to them.

They have won plenty , yes TG won national draw 1 time and congrats to that one kid on getting her team a championship. TG 1-1 against MD , same as Curcio, TG 1-0 against Curcio in a close game congrats . No more coach , minus a few descent players w a weak back half and bad second team does not bode well for the future plus a lot of parents talking badly about nonsense jeolousy over kids being good players has that team close to imploding . Good luck , lose one kid and your team is a B team. Good luck.

Some advice for you mom or auntie keep your my kid is the greatest opinions to yourself over at YJ and tell the kid to share the ball because she will find herself on the bench if you do not or moved down a few teams and you have no where else to go. Hey YJ parents good luck w them, there is a reason no one was sad to see them go.

We recieved an email from TG about a three 7v7 tournaments in the fall. asking if we were interested in playing and to reply with the dates we wanted to play. It looked like a form email sent out to the club, it also had a reminder that the payment was due (we already sent ours in so I assume it was a blast email to the club ). The tournaments are run through Shannon's lacrosse by 3.

No ,just there as a rat, no intention of going. Talk about kissing up to BS , go to tryouts to rat out friends who are exploring options, what a loser.

Nope, don't what's going on electronically but they are already setting up training schedules to get the girls laxed up. Not sure if the 2020 team attracted enough talent to be considered elite but watch what happens as they will take off skillwise in next couple years.

They will not be considered an elite team. They did not attract anywhere near enough top talent. If anyone thought anything different, they were being very naive. They will be lucky to compete with YJ Chris. This team/organization will be a work in progress. If they have a decent showing this year, more will come.

As for the players' skills...if their skills improve, it will not be all because of the coach. He will definitely improve their lax IQ. But it takes more than a good coach to improve one's skill.

I agree. They got some good kids there, but they are not deep. If the team is somewhat successful with the coach they have in place, they will garner a larger turnout. As for skills, I believe you're partially right. There is always room for improvement, but I wouldn't expect miracles.

So is Legacy going to be able to field a 2020 girls team?

Probably 2

So happy this tryout season is finally coming to a close this upcoming weekend with the YJ's closing things out. The back and forth whose club is better is annoying.Hope everyone will be happy wherever they chose and with their placements whether YJ, TG, Elevate. A lot of movement on all clubs not just TG, YJ, Elevate also lost and replaced girls. Should be a fun summer seeing all the new faces on different teams.

Did YJ loose any top team players in 2020? Obviously tryouts looming. Some girls may be replaced as many TG black girls swing over. Wonder what happens to former blue, will see after tryouts. Make a deal with legacy, tg or play 2nd team yj? Plenty of drama still left to see how it all plays out.

You are a clueless moron , zero blue players have left . Just because some like my daughter played on a team at Hofstra does not mean they left. No offense but virtually zero kids leave YJ blue .

Don't worry about the girls left behind! The one new girl from beach bums is as good as all but one of the girls that left. AG can not be replaced but all the left behind girls can easily pick up the slack of the other 4 that departed. Thank you for your concern though it is great to know you are so concerned about all of our left behind daughters!

That shift of power is going to be a major problem in YJ land come the end of next June! Can't wait to see the pages on this thread light up. Your new and improved blue team will most likely be undefeated but at what cost?

You have absolutely no idea do you? Let's just wait and see if you are correct or if I am. Also Please stop with the name calling, learn to be an adult and have a conversation.

Silly Guy, They played on actual TG team, not another team that entered the tourney. Don't think the Smiths would allow YJ's to freely play on TG Teams without being rostered now would they? You want to sound like you know everything pertaining to YJ so badly, when in all actuality, you know nothing. Also make up your mind if your daughter plays for TG or YJ. On another forum, you said you were still playing for TG and was playing at Hofstra for last tournament, now you play YJ?? Which one is it? Stop trolling the forums and starting trouble all the time. Hey all the YJ's out there, this guy here is a real nut. His daughter is trying out for YJ 2017. He comes with a lot of garbage...BE WARNED!

Again you are a complete moron , talking about 2020 age group , no YJ blue players played on any TG team at Hofstra , I know this because my daughter played at that tournament and we would have seen them when we played them. Problem is you have some TG a hole on here saying some kids have already left when they have not other than the kid that moved to another state. Will some kids leave after they do not make top team , probably but they would not them be considered YJ blue .

Try to actually read what you just wrote , we are talking about kids leaving top YJ team , your moronic fellow TG people have said kids have already left the top YJ team then you come on here and say they are going to YJ if they make top team they will play YJ if they do not they will go TG . If that is the case you still do not have any top team YJ leaving , as I said it just does not happen ( actually rarely) , know of one kid but did not go TG .

Don't worry about the girls left behind! The one new girl from beach bums is as good as all but one of the girls that left. AG can not be replaced but all the left behind girls can easily pick up the slack of the other 4 that departed. Thank you for your concern though it is great to know you are so concerned about all of our left behind daughters!

New one from B Bums? She's coming from a c level team at best to what is now a B level team at best. Even if she's as good as you claim TG black still lost a handful of significant girls and one kid can pick up all the slack. YJ got a great deal stronger with the addition of the TG girls. The TG team has 1 possibly 2 girls left that could maybe make a top YJ team, without a "backdoor deal" or a F&F plan. Bet they won't stick around much longer either!

It will be very interesting to see how the new and definitely improved YJ 2020 Blue team comes together as a team. Word is the new daddy coach left some impression on the Curcio team that played against his Lady Rebels team two weeks ago. Lots of strong personalities coming over from TG. Will definitely be the top team in the age group. A lot of wins but at what cost?

Before they do leave for YJ they do need to keep in mind the criteria for making the top YJ team 1) f&f 2) private lessons 3) lax ability and if you don't make the top team you can play for Jones team a bunch of girls left so there are plenty of vacancies.

WOW !!!!! I'm a dad from the boys side of this pathetic drama . I decided to read a girls post and you people are just as crazy . " well we got 1 girl from TG , and 2 left YJ , and 3 left BB because the coach left , yada yada yada , your all CRAZY !!!!!! This is youth lacrosse. George Steinbrenner never put this much effort into the Yankees , oh gosh I brought baseball into a lacrosse world. Crucify me. Goodnight.

Legacy.... after one practice we realized it was a great move. . Just great coaching and none of this nonsence! All those TG kids missed out as well!

A few went to TG.. Now some mad dad is going to get on here and call me names and deny it, but you will see when TG finally decides to post the rosters.

If you don't think the F&F plan along with private lessons is a real issue you are completely out of your mind. I have two daughters in the Y&J program. Yesterday I saw first hand a YJ coach giving private lessons to a girl from YJ's who is my the same age as one of my daughters. The fact is the girls is not that good and is not a great athlete. However, I am sure that the private F&F lessons will boost her up the ranks. Keep the gravy train or cash train running.

Hey idiot, 1 kid from jones went to TG. 3 went to Legacy. Stop running your mouth off about stuff you don't know

TG parents have nothing left to do but run their mouth. They have a team that will be in the 2nd tier behind JY Blue, JY Yellow,Elevate, and Legacy. And after the other good girls leave after this summer they will be on par with BB and Liberty.

Why do you spend so much time hating on TG? Isn't it time to late it go? You keep trying to get a bandwagon going, no one cares what you have to say. People are going to do what they want with or without your input. You spend so much time jumping all over the forums, spewing the same garbage. We get it.. You hate TG! Ok now go do some drills and wall ball with your daughter as I'm sure she needs it. With her daddy always whining and bitching on the forum about TG, how much time do you have each day to make sure she improves, while you are busy carrying on your obsession with TG and parents that don't give too [lacrosse] what you have to say. You are worse than a female you sorry excuse of a little whining man. Tryouts are Sunday get of the forums and go practice with your daughter to make sure she makes YJ 4,5,6.

As long as we win we will be a great team

SL is on par with average YJ coaches, very good. He became an icon coach at TG because he was the only real coach they had. His Legacy age group will be a decent team, well trained and well coached and may even approach the competitive level of TG2020, but that is only because the talent on that team plummeted. Legacy didn't attract any of the top level talent, TG lost much top level talent and YJ got ridiculously stronger. This happened across the board, 2019, 2020, 2021. I will say the Legacy girls are very lucky because SL will likely go all in and those girls will get his concentrated effort.

Exactly who in yj 2020 land is comparable to SL? TG daddy coach had to be brought in to bail out curcio, is he the one? Anyone could coach that team tthis year and go undefeated, Is it Curcio? Jones? You're delusional if you think anyone in 2020 or 2019 is on par with SL

Nice backhanded compliment [lacrosse]. I bet you have friends that moved over to that team. Just because your kid may play on yj top team does NOT make her a top level talent. I bet Levy is pleasantly pleased with some of those girls he has. We didn't go but I can tell you truthfully he got some top level talent. Maybe not in your jaded eyes though.

Plus I believe SL left some space on his roster for players that get left off Blue. He may end up getting some talented players...

SL has never won anything as a coach , his EI team is barely competitive and he did not get any top level talent over at Legacy. Was actually a good move by the kids who went to Legacy as they were not going to be on the top teams if they stayed at YJ or TG and Levy will work hard. As far as TG daddy bailing out Curcio get a life , he was brought over to destroy TG 2020 and 2019 and mission accomplished.

Exactly who in yj 2020 land is comparable to SL? TG daddy coach had to be brought in to bail out curcio, is he the one? Anyone could coach that team tthis year and go undefeated, Is it Curcio? Jones? You're delusional if you think anyone in 2020 or 2019 is on par with SL

YJ 2020 may be stronger this year but the infighting is gonna be sick! Those parents were already crazy competitive w each other. Should be interesting...

This last comment is just plain stupid. Jones is not a puppet. Parents have absolutely no say in how her team is run. She is fair, ethical and her players really like her. If that's not what you are looking for in a coach, then find someone else for your child.

Because SL is the best coach in the age group.

SL is on par with average YJ coaches, very good. He became an icon coach at TG because he was the only real coach they had. His Legacy age group will be a decent team, well trained and well coached and may even approach the competitive level of TG2020, but that is only because the talent on that team plummeted. Legacy didn't attract any of the top level talent, TG lost much top level talent and YJ got ridiculously stronger. This happened across the board, 2019, 2020, 2021. I will say the Legacy girls are very lucky because SL will likely go all in and those girls will get his concentrated effort.

What's there to fight about with other parents? Admittedly, there could be talking behind each other's backs, mean spirited criticism of 12 year old teammates, and a mad rush to get in line for private training. But will there be fighting on the sidelines, in the team tent or at the hotel bar - I doubt it.

Ethical?

SL handed the ball to 1 girl in any competitive game and that made him a great coach in your eyes. He also had the most talent last yr and you call him a great coach. Now talent is at YJ and you say anybody can win with them. You can't have it both ways.

At the National Draw I'm sure we'll see a very strong Legacy team. They have the top coach and have a talented roster.

The incessant talking behind everyone's back is going to be crushing. It will boil up at some point.

Forget about the parents. The TG additions will not be welcomed by all. The remaining Blue players will resent them being there. Two of the TG recruits already think they are the best players we will see how they share the ball when they are on the field together.

You are crazy if you think the TG girls are going to dominate this blue team. One thing Curcio stresses is that they are a TEAM, one player can not win it all (no matter who they are). So if these girls are going to come on this team and be ball hogs they are going to spend a lot of time sitting on the sidelines. And I think the issue that everyone is missing is that these two girls who are coming over are no better than the top 5 girls already on the blue team. That team was already dominant, so what YJ blue got was more good players, nothing better than they already had.

Sounds like a set up for a pot stirring daddy.

Completely agree with the Curcio team concept but disagree with your talent perception. YJ blue maybe have 2 kids or so who are close to the talent of the two coming over but those two will be the best individual players at this point but probably not the best team players .

Now that may possibly be the funniest thing I have ever read on here. With the girls comes the daddy coach, believe me all those TG girls will see PLENTY of field time and NO they will not give up the ball, either one. I agree they are joining an already dominate team however, there is only one ball to go around. Should be interesting, it's like the super egos of the 2020 lax world unite on one team, players and parents.

What I don't think you understand is that Curcio and CR are thisclose. Curcio will run that team, I don't know what CR promised daddy, but now that he has burned his bridges back to TG (along with all of those girls) they will have to play the way Curcio wants or what, go to Legacy next year?? This team (or any YJ team) is not ever built around one girl.

U jackass...TG had one dominate kid. .. several big games she was limited to one or two goals. .. very balanced scoring ALL summer. .SL got them to play together. ..I have watched SL practice ...he teaches! !! Most practices you watch are just coaches running drills...clueless parents buy into just winning. ..college coaches don't ask about the record of a club team... they ask what the family is like. .. get the point!!!

The kid that just decided to go to YJ from TG just turned 12 this year and is not a hold back.

Wrong. Let's not go there again. this has already need discussed.

"Silly Guy, They played on actual TG team, not another team that entered the tourney. Don't think the Smiths would allow YJ's to freely play on TG Teams without being rostered now would they? You want to sound like you know everything pertaining to YJ so badly, when in all actuality, you know nothing. Also make up your mind if your daughter plays for TG or YJ. On another forum, you said you were still playing for TG and was playing at Hofstra for last tournament, now you play YJ?? Which one is it? Stop trolling the forums and starting trouble all the time. Hey all the YJ's out there, this guy here is a real nut. His daughter is trying out for YJ 2017. He comes with a lot of garbage...BE WARNED!"

Do not see those YJ kids you were talking about, guess you underestimated the Smiths desperation.

Who was the poster that said TG couldn't fill rosters? looks like rosters filled to me.

Not sure why you thought those who left were irreplaceable. May take some time to gel, but I'm sure they can do it. Maybe sub-par in your opinion but you would be amazed at the wonders that practice, teamwork and Lax IQ can do.

Since the TG forums have mysteriously disappeared again. Can the TG parents answer my question.

Will the purple teams continue to be treated as 3rd world citizens. Will resources be put into also helping them reach black level or are they just there for extra bank? Since SS coaches a majority of the black teams, will she also help the purple team? Is she too good to coach the purples?

Can you say delusional? blue team would never lose to jones with the new additions - what happened the five superstars couldn't control a game agaixst thier own B team - doesn't sound like dominant players to me

Can you say moron , your TG superstars lost to MD at that same tournament , the same MD that those YJ superstars kicked butt on. Any team can lose any day , are those TG kids that are coming over good, yes, will they make the team better , too soon to tell. If you think those TG players are better than the top YJ players or vice versa then you are truly the moron. One of the reasons they are coming over is because good players like to play with other good players.

Don't worry your daughter was still see playing time in the less competitive games. LOL

This is a game that happened 2 years ago. Both teams are vastly different as many girls were dropped from blue and best Jones girls were moved up. Ancient history. Let's talk in the present.

The girls that are coming over know who they are , they would rather play with the YJ players than the TG kids that climbed on the back of the one dominant TG player to win games. Everyone knows that 2020 TG depended on 1 kid to win the draw, score goals , get ground balls , cause turn overs on defense. Now that kid is on YJ and your TG team is considered B level by all who know the age group. You are correct at YJ it is difficult in watching any one game who the so called top players are because they share the ball and play the right way but the parents who watch them play many games know . Guarantee Legacy beats your TG team which will be the end as any remaining player on that team will abandon ship.

The two TG girls coming over are far and away the best players on the 2020 Curcio team no doubt about it.

Too funny , your 2020 TG team now has maybe 1 but probably zero kids who would be in the top 10 at YJ . You also must know that many more would have left that sinking ship but were anchored to that team by older siblings , political connections, business dealings , etc. and are forced to go down w the ship. I feel bad for you parents as many are nice people and don't deserve to be stuck in that situation. Why do you think your best players left to go to YJ ? The answer is because they could , it's not too late for your kids , the 2-5 teams are descent and if you play well you may get moved up. Good luck .

Whoever Coach C decides she wants to be the stud is who will be. She plays favorites, mostly to younger sisters, gives them the most play time, and encourages them to run the ball down the field. Calls them genius, etc. It's laughable. You couldv'e had the game of your life, but if you don't have the right combination of town/siblings you will be banished to the sidelines. What a shame.

Thanks for the heads up dad.

I'm sure your one of those who think SL is a grear coach for doing the same thing. Please let me know of 1 coach who doesn't want the ball in their best players hand at the end of a game. Get a clue and stop hating.

Exactly. Curcio played Jones probably 7 times last year, never lost and almost always scored twice as many goals as Jones team did. Were you not around last summer or is it because you were too busy watching your daughter play TG??

Untrue. She plays everyone, they don't belong on this team if they don't produce, that is why girls get sent down. The fact is this team has depth, unlike last years TG Black, where one girl carried the team. They don't have to rely on one or even two girls. Curcio does not play favorites, she likes great players and tells them when they are great, what she doesn't like or tolerate is head cases. Good luck to the TG girl coming over, she will last about 2 games.

And this quote from a coward who has a kid most likely to get moved down. Explain why some kids then have older siblings that play are from the connected towns yet are not in the perceived favorite group. Now go pretend to be friends with the parents of these kids you despise so much and crawl back under your rock.

My guess is not much. She will probably freeze him out and run the team her way. Now that daddy has brought over these girls he has no where else to go, what is he going to do if he doesn't like it? Grovel back to TG? CR's job is done here. He delivered and now has no leverage.

I feel bad for you parents as many are nice people and don't deserve to be stuck in that situation. Why do you think your best players left to go to YJ ? The answer is because they could , it's not too late for your kids , the 2-5 teams are descent and if you play well you may get moved up. Good luck .

TG has one kid left on that team that could make a YJ top team but hey 1 out of 24 isn't bad. she maybe leaving too. If not this year I'm sure by next year.

Whoever Coach C decides she wants to be the stud is who will be. She plays favorites, mostly to younger sisters, gives them the most play time, and encourages them to run the ball down the field. Calls them genius, etc. It's laughable. You couldv'e had the game of your life, but if you don't have the right combination of town/siblings you will be banished to the sidelines. What a shame.

Untrue. She plays everyone, they don't belong on this team if they don't produce, that is why girls get sent down. The fact is this team has depth, unlike last years TG Black, where one girl carried the team. They don't have to rely on one or even two girls. Curcio does not play favorites, she likes great players and tells them when they are great, what she doesn't like or tolerate is head cases. Good luck to the TG girl coming over, she will last about 2 games.

What will she think of her new assistant coach then ?

My guess is not much. She will probably freeze him out and run the team her way. Now that daddy has brought over these girls he has no where else to go, what is he going to do if he doesn't like it? Grovel back to TG? CR's job is done here. He delivered and now has no leverage.

He would have one move left it it doesn't work out, although I don't put much faith in all you anonymous nay Sayers. He could get the group that just came in to move over to Legacy with SL, thus making them the top 2020 team.

No way. it is one thing to get these girls to move to YJ where they will get noticed (which I assume is part of the reason they moved from TG), it is quite another to go to a startup, no name team trying to make a name from themselves. Now that these girls are YJ they will not move. Check Mate CR.

Can you feel me rolling my eyes? You are incorrect, you may just not be aware, because your daughter falls into one, if not both of those above mentioned categories.

Not even close. Sorry, she's on that team because she has the talent to be there. Based on your assessment, we don't live in the right town and she has no siblings (boy or girl) who play lax. Try again.

You seem confident the week before tryouts.

I don't have to be confident, only my daughter does. She's the one trying out. Unlike you, I don't see her as my meal ticket. She plays because she loves it, loves the girls, her coaches etc., it has nothing to do with me or what team I think she should be on. If she was on the 5th team and loved it, I would support her too. You should try that, being supportive, instead of treating your daughter like a show pony.

"Can you feel me rolling my eyes? You are incorrect, you may just not be aware, because your daughter falls into one, if not both of those above mentioned categories."

If you actually believe this you are the biggest loser and a horrible parent. Are you this desperate to tell people your daughter is on this team that you would let her be mistreated in your eyes, nice job your daughter must be very proud. Keep knocking the kids behind their backs like a coward your daughter will grow up to know what a loser her daddy is.

Kids don't get noticed elsewhere? You people are idiotic. ..one call from a director and a coach will come and watch....not to mention all the fall 7v7...and clinics on college campuses. ...YJ..TG ..etc..it doesn't matter. ..good players get seen...top 10%....the rest of you need to work hard to be seen...all the extras matter now a days....club is just a piece of the puzzle and college coaches coukd care less where you play!

Exactly! His daughter is bottom half if not bottom quarter of YJ Curcio; that is a fact and not a secret that's why he has to be part of "coaching staff" to ensure a spot for his daughter. Do you think this team needs a 5th coach? What a joke; may you can sub coaches in and out like players!

CR did this to inflict harm to the entire TG organization she could care less about this one Curcio team. Its all about the bank account

Thanks for well wishes but I don't think your statement is correct. I know what those girls who left brought to the table and the problem will never be fixed. F&f rules. Still love Jones though. With the girls coming down team will be same. Unfortunately those kids (or parents) decided to walk away.

"Two of the TG recruits already think they are the best players we will see how they share the ball when they are on the field together." CORRECTION... YOU have talked them up. YOU have said they are the best players. YOU have made yourself and everyone think they are the best. YOUR relentless talk has created this drama. They are 12 or 13 and they just do what kids do. Just play! They will have to now deal with YOU "adults" (or probably 1 adult running his mouth all the time) creating other peoples hate for girls who are hardly even teenagers yet. You're sick! YOU have created this. Not the little teenage girls! Those kids will be friends on the field and that will [lacrosse] you off. The "show" will be you running your mouth here because you can't handle watching anyone's kid do well except your own. Everyone know your type! You're the one people will be talking about on the sidelines! You're the jackass everyone is talking about now. The guy obsessed with this 2020 group. It's you you moron.

I agree with this post 100%. The girls on all these younger teams already know the players coming over and are excited and will welcome them with open arms. Jealous, insecure parents who live to start trouble mainly on these threads, not so much. Most all will welcome all these kids as they make the teams undeniably better. In the case of 2020, yj was clearly not the best team in age group, it was TG. YJ likely jumps to top of heap, TG freefalls. Anyone in their right mind signs up for that, except people who feel insecure or threatened for whatever reason. The other possibility is it could be disgruntled parents left behind, in either case you are pathetic.

Since you are re-opening the "who is the best 2020 girls lax team on long island" debate, let me just remind you that YJ Curcio never played TG black last season. Hard to say who is better without a head to head contest. Why can't we all agree to a Long Island championship tournament to settle this question once and for all? Because it really doesn't matter, that's why. Play your daughter where she is happiest and will develop the best. She'll be seen by college coaches eventually, if that is your/her aspiration.

Did curcio go undefeated?

Thanks that is exactly my point, last summer , two summers ago no one cares. If you think when they get to recruiting age being on a dominant team does not help I think you are wrong. Go watch this summer YJ blue vs MD and see how many college coaches are on the sideline, go watch 2018 Liberty vs whoever and see the difference. That being said I agree if you are a good player college coaches will find you where ever you play.

Its all moot at this point, TG is done, Jones had 5 seconds of fame. The interesting game this year would be Curcio vs M&D.

Based on last years tournaments they won't even play yj this year

top guns best by far

This year look out for Legacy

Say what you want YJ 2020 this year is clearly on paper the best, not even close. Legacy vs TG will be very interesting. Unless they have improved I do not see MD being able to beat Curcio .

Legacy are you kidding me.Tg wins hands down!

The game is going to be close and I give the edge to Legacy. TG has to prove they can win without their dominant player, she was their best defender, draw kid,ground ball kid, and scorer. Levy knows the remaining kids so edge to Legacy.

You are really underestimating Legacy. Levy will embrace the underdog role.

How are they being underestimated, new program who did not get any of who most consider to be the top players . They got some very solid second team kids . That being said they will give TG a good game but at this point YJ has way too much fire power.

I predict that YJ 2020 Jones will beat both Legacy and Top Guns.

Aren't we talking about legacy and Topguns?

What people? A bunch of psychotic sideline daddys who think they have a pulse on 12 year old girl lacrosse? Please, who has that much time. Nobody has seen legacy, although I'm sure levy will be competitive,. No one knows what tg will look like , sure lost a great player, so what.how does that work in your favor, as she takes playing time away from your daughter. Beating TG does what? Makes you feel better about your self? Please. Its embarrassing. You guys are all full of crap and really who cares? Enjoy being on your team of 25+ girls while legacy and TG roll with 20. Enjoy watcHing maybe five competitive games of lacrosse all summer long as your child gets very little meaningful lacrosse out of the money you spend. Oh yeah its well spent because shes getting t shirts and trophys while playing 10 minutes a game, and oh yeah because shes getting s college scholarship...just enjoy the lacrosse guys, stop laying down vegas odds on a summer lacrosse season.

Yeah that's why so many more on your TG team wanting to leave, your team will indeed be playing competitive games unfortunately they will be against B, C level teams. Amazing you did not come on this site complaining about your daughters lack of playing time last year. You have no coach and a dessimated team. Have fun with all those competitive games.

How many YJ 2020 Blue went to legacy? Oh yeah...none.

Wait and watch. Legacy roster is at 20 for a reason. He has left a couple of roster spots open for those that may flee YJ when rosters are announced. He already has some 2020 parents recruiting.

It's so funny, TG people now want competitive games. Don't care about winning just want all the girls to have fun. Last summer the same people pounded their chest about how they were the greatest team ever assembled.

They had 24, a couple walked away and perhaps more will too. When all the girls who decide to leave do so they will fill the roster back up to 24, same exact number as YJ. The only TG teams I have ever seen with less than the full roster have been the bottom teams.

Makes you feel better about your self? Please. Its embarrassing. You guys are all full of crap and really who cares? Enjoy being on your team of 25+ girls while legacy and TG roll with 20. Enjoy watcHing maybe five competitive games of lacrosse all summer long as your child gets very little meaningful lacrosse out of the money you spend. Oh yeah its well spent because shes getting t shirts and trophys while playing 10 minutes a game, and oh yeah because shes getting s college scholarship...just enjoy the lacrosse guys, stop laying down vegas odds on a summer lacrosse season.

Yeah that's why so many more on your TG team wanting to leave, your team will indeed be playing competitive games unfortunately they will be against B, C level teams. Amazing you did not come on this site complaining about your daughters lack of playing time last year. You have no coach and a dessimated team. Have fun with all those competitive games.

I'm guessing you do not consider SS a coach?

5 Girls leaving does not dessimate a team. Good luck to them and good luck to yours also when she's crying that the magnificent 3 especially the good big girl does not pass the ball and is the only one scoring.. Yup sure sounds like a great team to be on(rolls eyes) Yeah you guys may win every game now because this one girl is going to carry that team just like TG. only difference is TG girls can now get a chance to step up and not be intimated into always passing the ball to the jack of all trade laxer. You YJ's this is just the beginning. Ball hog on TG will now be a ball hog on YJ.

TG Black has 22 players listed, I guess you are planning on a couple leaving or were you being just as dramatic as the folks you are being critical of in your post?

Actually it's 21 see how valuable being educated and knowing how to count is.

Must have lost another one already!!!

Yes she is the coach of Hofstra, then the coach of 2017, then the coach of 2018, then 2019 then she will help out 2020 when she can which will be rarely

How did he fair when handed average talent of a high school team? Doesn't look like such a great coach on a level playing field. If this Legacy team rises up and dominates all the rest, I will concede that he is a great coach, lets see what happens, but I have my doubts that even a great coach could turn a team into something they are not.

I agree and also let's not forget that the only black player that went to Legacy is his daughter, so obviously she had to go.

Why this win at all cost mentality? Why the need to dominate? These are young women. It is easy to learn to win and much harder to learn to lose gracefully. What are we teaching these kids?

Again it seems you TG people always have a problem telling the complete truth. More than 1 have left to go to legacy.

His daughter and one other girl.

The better question is how many reached out to SL wanting to yet again switch after initially telling him yes at tryouts but eventually going back to TG.

"5 Girls leaving does not dessimate a team. Good luck to them and good luck to yours also when she's crying that the magnificent 3 especially the good big girl does not pass the ball and is the only one scoring..

You YJ's this is just the beginning. Ball hog on TG will now be a ball hog on YJ."

5 girls leaving a team can decimate a team if its the right 5, or if the team they are leaving is not very deep and was carried by one of those 5 leaving. Remember that kid and the other are coming to YJ where the coach will not tolerate all the ball hogging , she will be coached to play the team game which makes sense as she will now actually be a member of a team she does not have to carry.

"It's so funny, TG people now want competitive games. Don't care about winning just want all the girls to have fun. Last summer the same people pounded their chest about how they were the greatest team ever assembled."

This post is so funny! It's so true!

The better question is how many reached out to SL wanting to yet again switch after initially telling him yes at tryouts but eventually going back to TG.

Or better yet, saying they're staying at TG, then jumping ship to YJ? No loyalty anywhere....its every man for himself.

2 is not much more than one. doesn't really make a difference either no need to get your self in a bunch about how many went to Legacy, I think the point was it was not a mass exodus to Legacy.

"It's so funny, TG people now want competitive games. Don't care about winning just want all the girls to have fun. Last summer the same people pounded their chest about how they were the greatest team ever assembled."

Can't stop laughing at this post.

I can't stop laughing at what a fool you are. A

"Had to carry the team" is a freaking joke. The kid you are talking about would not pass the ball to a teammate if she had 5 kids on her and the teammate was wide open infront of the net. A great althlete yes absoutly, a good teammate/team player not so much. 98% of "carrying the team" as you all seemed to have observed was self inflicted as she needed to be deemed the "superstar". So please stop with all this foolishness.

You're so right, saw her play recently at a local tournament and I admit she was good, but I also prefer that my daughter is not on that team. She controlled the ball from beginning to end, was the only one making all the shots and being passed the ball, It was bad. the other girls were just space fillers. these parents need to realize that there is only one ball and if this girl always has it, where does that leave their daughters? It's also funny that the same girl that some of the girls from TG left to get away from now followed them. Guess they're stuck now. OH well!

The funny thing is the girl from 2019 black and the 2020 black superstar everyone knows are go to goal girls. yes they are the 2 best girls at their age group. And the new daddy coach was often heard bad mouthing these girls, even had a nickname or two for them. Now he recruits them both and will have to hold his breath as he is useless to make his own daughter the focal point of the team. There is no doubting they make the team stronger, but there will be lot of moaning and groaning on your sidelines. Enjoy the 2019's mother...whew...what a mouth

Sounds like you just love everybody. LOL

I saw that girl play too. They lost to another team. Once they stopped her from going to goal, no one could do anything.

Honestly, why should a player stay "loyal" to a club team? The club teams do NOT show loyalty to them! If a new player comes along who is better and the current player doesn't have the necessary f&f connections, they are dumped, demoted and/or duped. We all know of examples of this at YJ, TG, and Elevate.

Guess she didn't carry them that far on her back if they lost. The way everyone talks about her she should have been able to single handidly win the whole thing by herself with no teammates!!

You should play at the club that is the best fit for the CHILD not the ADULT!!! However, I do agree if you choose to leave a club you should just leave! The back and forth nonsense is silly.

She lost to the other 20 kid that was on on tg 2019

What happened was the other team played like a "team". She was the only one on her team that had the ball all the time. When you play as a team rather an individual, you win games.

You must be referring to another girl - Nobody shuts the superstar down. She won 50+ games for TG all by herself, incase you hadn't heard!

Maybe so.. But she lost a game this past weekend, that's for sure.

Hahaha. If my sources are correct, she lost 3 times that day to the same team.

AMEN!!! Sad when you can't even play as part of the team in a 4v4.

Make up your minds on these 2 kids. First you say the girls are both go to goalers and ball hogs. Then the one little kid from the 2019 beats the other and now you claim she "plays like a team". Wasn't she a ball hog a few posts ago?

He did lead an average at best EI team to one game from the Suffolk finals two years in a row....how has the great Curcio been doing at Sachem North...These coaches that win all have youth leagues that support them...MS, NP, WM BS, FD, GC, Manh, all get fed kids year after year...

you obviously never watched a TG game....2020 Black never had an issue with ball hogging...they won against marylands best with the BIG girls scoring one goal....What SL did was get them to play as a team.

Cricket cricket. Funny, you all got so excited to rip the one kid apart you didn't realize you were complimenting the other in the process. Better come up with comeback quick before anyone thinks either of these kids might be a team player. Wouldn't want you to look like an idiot now would we?

The superstar never beats the team when the rebel kids are playing whether the 2019 kid is there or not. Have seen her lose to the same group of 2020 many times .

Who cares

When they get caught talking out both sides of their mouth's, they change the subject.

Oh be quiet! 2019 had no choice to play as a team, she's new to the team she played with. Wouldn't want to show her colors before tryouts now would she?? None of those kids are team players period! May change now but I doubt it. Let's just see what happens in the summer.

No need to go back and forth with you, it's foolish to argue with a fool. How about you go watch them play. Or better yet let's revisit this thread in a few months.

I'm going to post this on the 3 most active Girls threads in the hopes I can at least change the topic to something more interesting then this ongoing banter about the T.G to Y.J. defection.

Questions:
Do you think the Florida mandate on helmets in girls lacrosse will
a. spread to other states that are non hotbed areas, forcing a universal rule change
b. Stop non Florida teams from playing Florida teams
c. Burn it self out in a year or two and be dropped.

Do you think girls should be forced to use them

Just goes to show what a complete [lacrosse] you are , she played w kids she has played w many many times before .

"Oh be quiet" Now that's a good one. That's code for you have been made to look like a fool! You have no comeback so you have a tantrum like a 7 year old. Yeah you idiot, the 12 year old was "holding back so she wouldn't show her true colors to yj." I'm sure everyone would agree with that ridiculous statement. "New to that team?" Those kids play together all the time. "None of those kids are team players" yet just a few posts ago you were ranting how that they beat the 2020 girl by "playing as a team" - You are a complete and exposed IDIOT.

The Curcio girls will just have to know their role the girl coming over from TG is far away the best player in the age group.

Ha ha you sound foolish! Keep drinking the kool aide

yes she is a very good player and a hog with the ball. if she has a 1 on 1 opportunity, she should take that girl every time to the goal and will score most of the time. NOW, I have seen her try to go 1 on 2, 1 on 3 and 1 on 4 and failed. She will need to learn how to pass the ball, and be part of the team concept. A great player, makes others around them better by sharing the ball ( in all sports ) where needed and appropriate. Her ego may take a small hit, but she will be that much more dominate on the field if she can grasp this concept. Cucrio will make sure that she does, or will be on the bench, as I have seen her pull girls out of games for not passing to the open person.

Please stop with the Curcio ball movement BS. There are many on that team that always go to goal and they don't get yanked. Lots of selfish players on that team being egged on by their parents.

She will be fine with girls she trusts that can catch and throw. She will not pass to your ball dropping daughter because she know that is an instant turnover. Saw her pass at YJ tryout when you think she would be the biggest ball hog. Shes good and will make those around her better. If all the Daddy's stay out of the way the JY blue will be awesome

So True! Some parents on here extoling the virtues of Curcio's team mentality but lots of selfish players on that team and ball runs through just a couple of girls

who is Curcio...what has seen done that you think she can develop a group of players....

Did you ever watch that Top gun team at their best....they never had an issue with unselfish play..ever! Can your Curcio and jones people say the same thing...all this is just nonsense. Past tense, SL had that team clicking like a well oiled machine. That includes dealing with and feeding all the egos....can the curcio and jones people say the same thing? NOT

I do believe it is the angry TG people hating and posting. Not YJ

I'm pretty sure that the people saying the Curcio team plays very even team lacrosse and those who don't get subbed is a YJ parent and a liar

A great player, makes others around them better by sharing the ball ( in all sports ) where needed and appropriate. Her ego may take a small hit, but she will be that much more dominate on the field if she can grasp this concept. Cucrio will make sure that she does, or will be on the bench, as I have seen her pull girls out of games for not passing to the open person.

Please stop with the Curcio ball movement BS. There are many on that team that always go to goal and they don't get yanked. Lots of selfish players on that team being egged on by their parents.

So True! Some parents on here extoling the virtues of Curcio's team mentality but lots of selfish players on that team and ball runs through just a couple of girls

Go ahead , what kids ? Dont think you can name them because it does not happen

Curcios team will be just fine and I'm sure the
girls will have lots of fun . Health and happiness
that's all that reallymatters!

Okay at least give us the position they play. Do they turn it over or draw and dump, or force a shot. Honestly just curious because I have not watched that many games.

This must be coming from a parent of a child who only dodges when its 1v1, makes every pass to the open girl, gets every groundball and defends better than the rest. Why do you have so much hatred for these 12yr old girls. I truly don't understand.

NO RESETS. I don't mind a girl dodging hard and getting a quality shot off, but if there is ever a girl open and they opt to keep it themselves, they are a ball hog. Some people call a girl who takes on a double and triple team, sometimes getting a shot off as being dominate, I see that and cringe. The purest lacrosse and the nicest to watch is when the ball gets passed 2 or 3 times then the shot is buried in an instant by a girl flashing through the crease all in a matter of seconds. Watching some beast trying to break down a double triple team, while reset after reset drags to 10 20 seconds, fugly, sit that kids [lacrosse] on the bench.

Welcome to the new YJ blue

Hey lacrosse with us, that girl would kick your [lacrosse] one on one . Why don't you play her and show her how girls lacrosse is played Big Man.

What are you people babbling about

Is it true that Elevate lost to a town team today?

there are plenty of town teams that Elevate would lose to.

They had 2 teams playing in the same division - one was there A team the other was there B/C team - HV played both teams so they obviously know there are different teams

There a lot of travel teams that would lose to a town team. If your check clears there is always a travel team willing to give your daughter a spot! The C, D, E and this year F team for yellow jackets could all get beat by a town team. If want to spend the $2,000-$5,000 for glorified PAL games in Maryland in July write the check, fill up the gas tank, line up in traffic and just enjoy the travel lax ride!

Elevate doesn't have a C team so that must've been there A team .

haha that's funny, Elevate has quality girls and parents, not like the weasel YJ parents of the benchwarmers who come on here bragging, even though their daughters play 2 min a game. Good luck with that!

I heard that elevate will and has welcomed lower yj kids to there top team without even a tryout�while dropping there own who did tryout. Guess it happens everywhere, so don't give me the quality stuff!!

Its a business!!!!!!a HUGE FOR PROFIT BUSINESS. Deals are made everywhere to lock up players and add more teams

Why did those quality girls lose to a town team?

Better question is how much does elevate charge to be on an A team that cant beat a town team?

Answer: way too much!!

Yes there is a travel team somewhere for everyone. Not everyone is going to make the cut on YJ blue, it is a very small and select group. So here is the question, is the cost, time and effort of playing travel on the third, forth etc..team, or for some weak club worth it? Reality says if your daughter is on those teams to begin with, she will likely never get to the blue team. Obviously playing for another club she certainly won't. Some people are happy and realistic with their situation, I personally know many who are not, some think their kids is going to magically transform from the slow, limited skill ceiling kid that the rest of us see, to a alpha dog blue girl. If your happy with the team your daughter is on and are realistic about where she is headed, then yes travel is well worth it.

Many of the blue players do not see the field much. Only a few carry the team, the rest are there politically and could be on any team.

People need to be realistic. If your kid is ok you can play D3 lacrosse in college at schools just by playing PAL, High School and by going to a few camps with a video. If you love it and want the travel experience there will always be a club to take your registration. If want to play at D1 Northwestern that was pretty much decided at birth and no amount of clinics and personal training can change that

That's the justifying logic used to convince parents of forth team players that someday my kid could play on the blue team. LOL.

When do the Team Elevate rosters get posted ?

Truth is 6 kids belong... The rest could easily be on Jones. That's what the rest of us see and feel. Just because your kid is on top team doesn't mean a thing. Only to you. You payed for all those privates so you could gloat and say look at my kid. Whatever it takes is your mentality. Good for you but please don't think for a minute people think highly of you. Toolbag!!!

Angry much? Most kids on the team do not train privately. It's just a convenient excuse for why your daughter didn't make it. Maybe she's a good player also. But maybe she didn't make it because the coaches know you're a [lacrosse] and don't want her because of you.

Not at all Toolbag... Funny how you assume my kid is not on blue. And cmon now, we all know who does privates. That's just a convenient way for you to skirt the issue. Facts are facts open your eyes and you can clearly see the truth.

Some of these kids are genetic freaks of athleticism and barely need to condition or train and they remain among the elite few. Others are a step below, merely great athletes and can remain among the elite by working hard on skills and staying in shape. That's it, you can not take just a decent kid athletically and turn them into something they are not, sorry if that's you. Good news is your daughter does have a better chance playing at the next level just by being a decent athlete playing lax on LI, which is not possible in other sports, but please put it in context.

You guys are ridiculous, the 2020 YJ top team will be very good this year( good chance at being the best in age group in the country). That being said they will have 5-8 or so players that will be depended on come the harder games, then they have the next 5-10 kids who will contribute in the big games .The remaining 6-7 kids are some that may in the future be the go to kids but are not t this point. You could take the so called bottom half of the team and they would still beat Jones at this point and as far as the 2021 team , they may want to be more concerned with beating the best teams in their age group not the best teams a year older.

We just want to thank the 2020 blue parents for the constant press releases that keep coming saying their children are the best team in the country. Very humble, well liked group of 7th grade parents LOL.

Thanks for being so dramatic, first that is the first post I have seen mentioning best team in country , second they said may be the best which also means may not be the best. Now go take your pamprin and go make your kid practice some more so she can be on a team that may be the best in the country.

Not very successful. Marginal at best. Team has some good players but are not deep. Probably equal to TG Purple. The Jones' jumpers will have a long summer. Parents will be even more bitter.

I haven't seen them play so it's too early to judge. Levy is a top notch coach so I'm sure will have a solid team. It's his teams first year together so the chemistry won't be there. Not too worried about this year but would keep an eye on them.

You people don't get it.. All he needs to do is be competitive with good teams... Coaches will come watch and not care who wins and losses.. You people think you need to be the best... How about my kid will develop to her potential under him.. That's what it is about for my family

How are the Icon teams? Can they compete with any of the top teams?

I wish this team/club luck. The parent is correct, not everyone is looking to be on a nationally recognized team/program. There are tons of pros and cons with any team your daughter may play on, whether that's the top team in the nation or a small local travel team or anything in between. You as a parent need to figure out what it is you want out of a team and if it is a good fit. It will be interesting to see if Levy can get Legacy up and running. One of the hardest things to do is getting over the hump of start up. If the team(s) struggle, talent will leave next year. It is a short run from 2020 to recruiting years. If team isn't instantly competitive, its a hard sell to ask the talent to stick around.

I wish this team/club luck. The parent is correct, not everyone is looking to be on a nationally recognized team/program.

Legacy has a large practice schedule beginning this week.

Here we go again!!!!

Everybody should bow down to the 2020 TG's. They are by far the tops of the class. They have SS as a coach. Without a doubt the top coach in america. This team could be the best in the nation.

Smells yellow don't bite please!

If you are going to bait the waters don't be so obvious. Try again and this time be a little more subtle.

I agree with the poster. 2020 TG team is the best in the country. The team has 6 girls that have committed to major D1 programs. No other 2020 team can say that.

it's called a verbal...

I thought Legacy was lucky because they have Levy as a coach! He proved his worth by allowing his daughter to score 12 goals in a game the other day. His teams have always revolved around 1 or 2 players.

It won't be different. Truth is he is very overrated.

Lets face it, for the foreseeable future when 2020 girls is mentioned, TG will be considered a formidable opponent...whether they are the best, etc., remains to be seen. No one can deny that opponents will have to bring their A game against them or may be in for a long day.

No disrespect to Levy. Decent HS coach, not great. I have watched him coach and his drills were all standard drills, nothing that overly impressed me. I have had daughters on other travel programs that have had far more impressive coaches. I wish my daughter had a chance to be coached by SS, but that is not our graduation year.

Why ? Nearly half their starting line up left and since the new teams has been playing together they have been anything but successful.

Must have been a great game. Any substitution problems this weekend?

Long distance costly tournament with big rosters for only about 100 minutes of total playing time.

20-25 minute games is a joke with big benches FOR ALL TEAMS!

First time YJs, enjoy it. Two of the best players weren't there. Will see you next time. This WS and

And then beat them? Yes. Anything can happen in Beach Lax. The Saturday games were shortened to 20 minute games.

However, for whatever reason, M&D 2020 has been having a tough time. They lost 1 game all last year and have lost 5 times in the last month.(3 of which were to Curcio)

Yes and then they beat them good later

No. M&D beat Jones 10-2 in a 25 minute semi final game.

And is that the same Jones that lost to Curcio 4�2

There was a power shift from TG to YJ at this age group. YJ now seems able to compete with M&D, now gotta see where TG's fit in. Time will tell.

Prior to your power shift they were 1-1 against MD so to act as if they could not compete with MD in the past is just silly.

I know that this is meant as a joke, but would anyone be shocked if it occurred? I'm sure that's on CR's mind.

Curcio is 3-0 the past few weeks against M&D 2020 Black. I think it is fair to say that YJ 2020 (Curcio) is competing against them just fine.

Curio is very strong, probably the best in the country!

The point was "can they still compete with them?"
We see YJs were a step behind for several years, now they appear at least on same level or step ahead. TGs were a step ahead the last couple years, are they still ahead?

Curcio could very well be the top team around (although 2020 seems to be an average talent year, not great) but if they play like a team, their additions will make them stronger. Unfortunately the sideline is a cesspool of me first parents only concerned with their daughter and winning the race to be the first to commit. Team is a strong contender for worst YJ sideline which is really saying something

Please ,what year is the above average talent years, let me guess whatever year your daughter is. So many tools come on here saying such nonsense. The guy saying long Island lacrosse takes a major dip in talent next year was clueless and so are you.

You are all foolish... Why have parents allowed youth sports to become professionalized, adultified, and stolen from our kids? My daughter plays travel lacrosse because she loves the game, win or lose. She loves her teammates and the travel experience. When all is said and done and the tourneyment is over she talks more about how much fun they had at the hotel pool than who won or lost. These are 7th grade girls who love the sport they play. Who gives a [lacrosse] who wins or loses? Can any one of you tell me your teams record in 7th grade? Most likely not. Why? Because it doesn't matter.

So I guess you DO BELIEVE that you are the best in the universe lol. Not only does the team have to be best in the age group (which was said), they need to be anointed best team in the age group in a strong talent year? I guess you are a part of that toxic sideline that was referenced... enjoy your summer.

I am a parent standing on the Curcio sideline and I don't see any issues whatsoever. Very good team and nice families.

Best post ever on BOTC. Lacrosse should be fun and the experience should be fun. Stop making this a job for the kids. Do it because they love it!

Ironic post. Combining hotel stays and hotel pools with youth sprts is the epitomy of adultifying the sport. My parents would have laughed out loud if I told them in 7th grade I wanted to play on a sports team that would involve staying inn a hotel for some games.

Youth sports was for the kids. Most parents came to see a few of the games if they could. I actually had to ride my bike or walk to and from practice along with most of my team mates. We had a lot of fun and were a pretty good team.

Curcio 2020 team would easily beat any YJ 2019 team and most 2018 YJ teams, same could be said for M&D & TG 2020, not what I would call an off year of talent

I would never go on to say all the claims you state, looks like someone is delusional or pot stirring. But would dismiss the thought that it is a weak age group. 2020 is stacked with talent at many clubs, it is a very competitive age group, I will leave it at that, you should have too!

How is the new legacy team doing? Haven't heard much from them.

Going great. thanks. Hope you enjoy your summer as well.

Obviously, this went right over your head... Some families travel to take their kids to Disney Land during the summer, others travel to lacrosse tournaments. It is about making your kids happy. The point is it should be for the kids and what they enjoy doing. I enjoy watching my daughter smile and having fun. Trust me, I could do without the 90 degree heat in an open field in the middle of the summer. But I suck it up, sit on the Jersey Turnpike in bumper to bumper traffic nearly every Friday so my daughters can have a great time with their friends, teammates and family.

All the talk about which team is better is nonsense, it should be obvious that the teams are both very good. Leave it at that. The acquisition of the few players YJ Blue got this year was supposed to make them unstoppable. Guess what? They aren't, get over it. They are good, [lacrosse] very good. Congrats on the win, but let it go. Can't see how anybody feels YJ outplayed TG in that game, the final score was in their favor but that game was there for either team. Only people who care are the parents, for my money I know who I'd rather have coaching and who my daughter would rather have as teammates and a coach. At the end of the day, all the other crap is meaningless. No promises of D1 teams lining up for our girls, just that they will learn how to play lacrosse the right way. That's a promise that can actually be kept.

Why make crap up? Very short bench in the finals yes, the other games some of the kids that played the entire finals game did not get into very much at all.TG split playing time evenly , please. As far as being outplayed , you lost get over it , its now 2 in a row .People aren't on here saying this team destroyed that team or this team hit this many pipes etc., when you lose a game you were outplayed by the better team that day. Your comment about which kids your daughter would rather have as teammates tells me exactly why more kids are abandoning that program .

Anytime the YJ Curcio team is afraid of losing or getting showed up, they shorten the bench (girls don't play) drastically. Doesn't happen only in playoff games, and definitely happened in a pool play game against another LI team this weekend. [lacrosse], CR was on the sidelines coaching (losing her mind)for that game. So before you go on with your BS, tell the whole story. The bottom 1/2 of the roster only plays in games where CR and AC know that there is no chance of a loss. If your TEAM is so good from top to bottom, why do this at all. They should be able to compete with all the teams out there with all teir players. And, no, I'm not advocating for equal playing time. But AC has NO CONFIDENCE in half the roster, so this is what you got. I'd say that I'd be shocked if everyone stays, but then again has anyone ever left?

If you are a top 15 player there is no better place to get noticed and succeed. If you aren't in the top half go to a program where you are. You need to be on the field getting quality minutes. The best girls on TG, liberty and even the WAVE go on to great schools. Good luck!

YJ blue is on the downward spiral already with many unhappy parents and players.
Legacy doing more with less and almost beating us.
TG should have beat us, we got lucky.
We lost credibility this weekend and many of us feel the tourney was bittersweet.
It's sad but true!

Let me take a guess with this one. Your kid was one of the players who did not see the field? I thought so. Instead of spending your free time bitching and moaning on the site you should be at the field with your kid. Showing her that hard work will get her more playing time not complaining. If you are not happy leave the program. Honestly the constant complaining from parents every weekend is getting old.

The post singling out a young girl has been deleted. Knock it off.

I wrote the post and you are absolutely right. Will be more careful. Since it did single her out - she is a very good player.

Obviously not a YJ parent, the best team won the tournament , congratulate them and move on like many of your TG families are doing. If doing more with less is losing to Elevate than congrats to them , near the top of the B teams.

The only loss of composure was from the four yellowjacket girls who committed the four fouls..TG player was out at halftime and back in for the second half. Don't you know there's no crying in Lacrosse! Especially from that girl!

Elevate 2020 has good talent, just need better coaching. Have some very good girls on that club.

The good news for the YJ parents is next year the kids that do not play much in the big games will see more playing time , the addition of the next "new" kid will make it very difficult for any team in the age group to compete with them. The bad news is there is only 1 ball .the good news for TG next year is all the players will actually get equal playing time and it will be a true team effort unfortunately they instantly become a B level team and non competitive with the top teams . Next year they are down to only 1 competitive age 2018.

Is it true Curcio is handing out pom poms for those kids that watch the games from the sidelines?

Even that won't work, kids that are trained by AC sat for entire game. AC is a puppet of CR; modified line up takes strength away from team. They have gone to this modified line up several times resulting in a loss and several wins by a goal, "agreed pretty good results" however how would AC even know if results would be any different if she played it straight the results would probably be the same and if they weren't only CR would care. College coaches don't give a crap who won some youth tournament. It's actually a bad business decision if all would play top team would put even more kids into "big time" lax schools. CR would still get her "championships" and get to showcase all of her talent. "Top" kids are going to get theirs regardless. It's all about the money AC much like CR doesn't care how it is earned. Hope you sleep we AC

A good coach gets the most out of all of her players. Look at AC record as a Varsity coach. Doesn't sub in HS and has a weak team. Anybody could take the best 12 from blue and win games. Try playing the team that you picked. car will cash the checks that the parents wrote this year but good luck getting kids to return for another year of stand and watch.

I hope you sleep well being such a weasel. First the one loss she was not even there for. Which one goal win are you talking about other than the TG game? You were told how things were going to be in an honest way and chose to stay and not speak up. Which club you play for is a choice you have decided to have your kid play for the top club in the country that is known to play to win ,either embrace that or move on.

Not so sure about that age group either, they avoid any top teams, who do they beat?

Maybe I will pay the coach for training to get her on the field like you do.

Even that won't work, kids that are trained by AC sat for entire game. AC is a puppet of CR; modified line up takes strength away from team. They have gone to this modified line up several times resulting in a loss and several wins by a goal, "agreed pretty good results" however how would AC even know if results would be any different if she played it straight the results would probably be the same and if they weren't only CR would care. College coaches don't give a crap who won some youth tournament. It's actually a bad business decision if all would play top team would put even more kids into "big time" lax schools. CR would still get her "championships" and get to showcase all of her talent. "Top" kids are going to get theirs regardless. It's all about the money AC much like CR doesn't care how it is earned. Hope you sleep we AC

I hope you sleep well being such a weasel. First the one loss she was not even there for. Which one goal win are you talking about other than the TG game? You were told how things were going to be in an honest way and chose to stay and not speak up. Which club you play for is a choice you have decided to have your kid play for the top club in the country that is known to play to win ,either embrace that or move on

AC is in over her head and doesn't know how to manage this roster that's the truth and she knows it.

Amen to that. You are 100% correct with your statement. All parents were told how this team operates. We are here to win tournaments. plain and simple. AC realizes if certain kids are on the field it is a turnover or sloppy play. Again, PLAY TO WIN.

So then why take 25 kids? If 25 were deemed qualified then they should play or they should be on the B team.

And I agree with an above poster YJ attract the absolute best talent in the biggest numbers. Every parent on that sideline could coach the top 12 to a ton of victories, just dump out the ball bag and let them play. Many YJ coaches are way overmatched and many are way too young to deal with all the politics. Very few coaches coach up a team, most times its the players making the coach look good with their natural talent they brought to the team

And everyone stayed? If you're being told that your daughter can only play in blowouts and will never play a competitive match all summer, why would you stay? For the T-shirt?

People stay with the YJ so they can proudly say my daughter is on the top team. Nobody ever follows up by saying how much does she play per game. The big rosters bring in big revenue. To the people on the top team their status is more important then their daughters playing time.

The reason YJ goes out and wins is because that makes the better players want to play for them, just ask TG which has essentially become the minor leagues for YJ. Getting the better players gives YJ more exposure which in turn makes more kids want to be a part of it which brings in more money. As a result you get YJ parents who come on here to complain about playing time but will never leave because they want to be a part of the best teams and you get TG who come on being delusional about their program and how happy they are even when the best players are leaving in bunches. YJ has been the biggest and best which also brings the most competitive and cut throat , TG is heading the way of liberty which is not a bad thing just different.

We will see who leaves from both teams... I'm sure there were plenty of 12 year olds crying in the car ride home from NJ after they didn't play a minute in 3 games on Saturday. Time will tell but many parents will need to look in the mirror and see the face that is staring back at them if they leave their daughter in the 2020 blue mix.

Excellent post and 100% true!

So what is better? Being on the Blue team and not playing in meaningful games or being on the Gold team or third YJ team or Top Guns or whoever and playing? Is it possible to be a very good Blue player - worthy of playing D1 - but yet not get on the field for Blue? Or are the bench Blue players just not that good and are there for another reason (politics, FAF, etc.) Curious. Serious replies, please!

This is why you TG people are delusional, you need to make yourselves feel better by making things up. The semi final game kids who did not play in the final game were on the field more than many who did not come out of the final. Funny not to long ago your TG team had kids that did not play in games and kids who never came out yet you stayed with the program.

There were plenty of TG kids who didn't play in the final game this weekend.

Most would say it's better to be on th eblue team and not play in meaningful games. This is because you are playing for the best coaches that the club has. Girls learn a lot more in practice than they do in the games.

What you don't understand is once they hit 9th grade and they are playing in recruiting tournaments it all changes. All girls are required to play 50% of every game. So the goal is to stay on the top team until high school because once you are there, you are going to be see by coaches.

All this back and forth about middle school lacrosse is stupid. Unless your girl is miserable because she doesn't play in the close games then I guess you have to make a decision. But as we all know, with teams like YJ, M&D, etc 80% of their games are not all that close and at the end of the day, the girls usually end up playing the same amount.

There are plenty of girls on every team that plays in every finals that don't play a minute.

All this back and forth between YJ & TG is so STUPID. Both teams are good in their own way. Both teams offer different things, depends what you're looking for. Hopefully your daughter is the the place you feel is the best for her to grow as a lax player and young lady. Hopefully is is learning and laughing! If not, then it's time to to make some decisions at the end of the season. TG is not for everyone and neither is YJ. Kids will come and go, super talented ones down to the okay ones. In the end make sure your daughter is in the place that is best for HER.

Thank you!

For all you how shall we say, tightly wound parents of 7th graders. Don't lose sight of the academics and the career dreams of your kids. Many on here speak like what color team you are on is the end all be all. Years from now many will look back and say what was I thinking! If you are truly honest with yourselves, you will see that a lot of this is more about the parents then the kids. Chillax all this really doesn't mean much. Come back after your first couple of daughters are done with lacrosse and I bet you say the same thing.

I disagree with this as well. I have seen teams at IWCLA showcases barely play some girls because they still want to win games against rivals.

Same debate can be used for - "should my daughter play Varsity and not step on the field or JV and play the entire season?" I have seen coaches who barely even use their non-starters in practice. Each kid should feel like they are contributing.

And what happens as they get older, F&F get more interest because they are "taken care of."

All the posts about the poor YJ kids that don't get to play in the final games of tournaments with playoff games. If there are 6 games in a weekend they get equal time, if not more, in 7 of those 8 games. THIS is what you [lacrosse] and moan about? You would complain no matter what YJ did.

If there are 6 games in a weekend they get equal time ... in 7 of those 8 games." Is that the new common core math I've been hearing about, 6 = 8?

You can draw attention to the fact that I type quickly and hit the 6 instead of the 8 but I assure you I know how to count and the point remains. If you need me to better clarify... If there are 8 games in a weekend, they get equal or more time in 7 of the 8. They just get less or no time in the 1 playoff game. For this people argue relentlessly. Notice the point was not argued, just the typo.

Wrong, but keep telling yourself that. The girls that don't play usualy get replaced the next year! Do you think YJ wants 1/2 a bench they don't fee confident enough about to put in a final game? Once someone better shows up those girls will be replaced.

At ND they had 4 pool play games and 2 playoff games = 6 games most of the team did not play in the last 3 games.

Again just completely wrong ,if you need to make nonsense up about another club with a better team to feel better about your situation then you are a sad example for your child.

It's true my kid hardly played in last 3 games. Was going to call coach like a parent did from MD. It worked. She doesn't come off field

How exactly are these girls getting replaced? Very rarely do you ever see more than 2 or 3 girls change year to year. Especially in this case where the team is on the rise. Where are all these supposed replacements coming from? You may see one of the top girls from TGs or another club, or even a girl get moved up from within. Most of the top girls available are already there.

and there you go again... I wasn't talking about this tournament. I was making a general statement. It's called a "hypothetical"- keep trying though. It exposes your anger an ignorance at the same time. You're reaching for anything to distract form the truth of the original post. Time to move on to another team and thread. Your a little washed up on this one.

And yet you still will not leave. Lemmings... the whole lot of you. Some exam you are setting. You are now afraid to voice an opinion because you where all told the truth of how it was going to be. All from a spoiled little girl who has you all afraid of her. Wow... it really is surreal

posts smell like a bunch of jealous and angry tg and legacy parents. must suck that your superstar isn't that good as you think she is. be careful what you wish for. if some of these curcio kids leave for your team, little susie may lose her spot. bitter irony to come.

Honestly feel bad for the TG faithful , nice people but the club is no longer heading in the same direction . Shannon seems to be a good person who is a good coach but after the next defection , a kid they have tried so hard to keep , it will leave her club w no top teams in any age group. She deserves better , plus it's a lot more fun beating them with their best player than with us having the best player.

OMG the sky is falling! The girls lost a one goal game that easily could have gone the other way. My daughter hasn't been able to sleep since the loss. I don't know how she will ever be able to show her face in public. Forget about defection she should never pick up a lacrosse stick again.

Stop with the could have gone either way , it didn't . When your TG team beat YJ 2 years ago no one was saying it could have gone either way. Good luck next time but the separation between the teams is just getting worse ,and will be much worse with the next defection . Again sucks for Shannon that her golden child is leaving but the best kids want to play for the best.

one goal games can always go either way. I'm pretty sure TG outshot YJ by a 2-1 margin, just didn't score goals. As for the "golden" child, whatever choice they make is theirs to make. Would changing clubs really matter when it comes to her future, I think everyone knows how good she is. Speaking of golden children, the one you got from TG 2019 was supposed to make that team the best ever....newsflash..good team, not the team you guys dream it to be...very beatable

Why are the moderators allowing 13 and 14 year old children to be singled out?

14 year olds at this stage of lax should be considered stars among 12/12 year olds

Agreed. Also why is it you are so quick to go after tg and now legacy. I can assure you that both of those teams seem very happy with there standing. Look a little closer to home... you may be a little surprised by what you may find. 1 more thing... how in the world would those 2 teams know that some kid doesn't come off the field now. You really need to reevaluate your thinking.

Read the thread! Just because specific names aren't spelled out doesn't protect anonymity. The not so subtle comments are certainly singling out individuals.

ok, so this kid named Golden.. Where is there anything bad about Golden? I am confused.

Okay. I got it. As long as I don't single out I specific individual by name it's okay. So, it's okay to say the "moderator" is a tool as long as I don't spell out the name. Since "moderator" isn't someone name.

I am confused ,What "two teams"? Where is the line drawn with the game could have gone either way , 1 goal , 2 goal, 3 goal if 1 of them was late in the game? How many times in a row does one team need to beat another before the game could have gone either way goes out the window? As far as out shot ,actually no , YJ had 1 more shot on goal , would say all the goalies played great. The better team won that day , leave it at that and congratulate them and I have to say that kid really is something ,more amazing in this day is she is age appropriate .Would love to have her on my kids team but also the kids really enjoy playing against her.

Listen, jackass, no one said anything bad about a kid. I don't know what's eating you but you need to get a serious grip. No one is more protective of kids than I am.. I think there is only one tool here and it isn't "moderator".

OMG the sky is falling! The girls lost a one goal game that easily could have gone the other way. My daughter hasn't been able to sleep since the loss. I don't know how she will ever be able to show her face in public. Forget about defection she should never pick up a lacrosse stick again.

Stop with the could have gone either way , it didn't . When your TG team beat YJ 2 years ago no one was saying it could have gone either way. Good luck next time but the separation between the teams is just getting worse ,and will be much worse with the next defection . Again sucks for Shannon that her golden child is leaving but the best kids want to play for the best.

one goal games can always go either way. I'm pretty sure TG outshot YJ by a 2-1 margin, just didn't score goals. As for the "golden" child, whatever choice they make is theirs to make. Would changing clubs really matter when it comes to her future, I think everyone knows how good she is. Speaking of golden children, the one you got from TG 2019 was supposed to make that team the best ever....newsflash..good team, not the team you guys dream it to be...very beatable

Agreed. Also why is it you are so quick to go after tg and now legacy. I can assure you that both of those teams seem very happy with there standing. Look a little closer to home... you may be a little surprised by what you may find. 1 more thing... how in the world would those 2 teams know that some kid doesn't come off the field now. You really need to reevaluate your thinking.

This poster has to win an award for pompous, know it all, jackass of the year! "I can assure you both teams..." So let me get this straight, all 48 parents of two different, competing teams confided in YOU with how they really feel about their daughters position on their respective team? And even if that was the case, you think they told you the truth? What a loser!

Not one of the original posters on this golden girl topic, but wanted to lend some history. Both of the girls referenced here have been referenced many, many times over the years on many of the BOTC threads. The moderators (both cagesage and hop) have shut down the conversations many times in the past as they had become inappropriate. People on these thread are keenly aware of exactly who is being referenced and talked about, so long as everyone plays nice with the comments its all good.

I do not mind at all if someone references a player in a good light. That being said, if the talk takes a turn, I will handle the idiot that turns it swiftly and without kindness. I have been at this for almost 20 years and am well aware of how it goes. Thank you for the background.

I am confused ,What "two teams"? Where is the line drawn with the game could have gone either way , 1 goal , 2 goal, 3 goal if 1 of them was late in the game? How many times in a row does one team need to beat another before the game could have gone either way goes out the window? As far as out shot ,actually no , YJ had 1 more shot on goal , would say all the goalies played great. The better team won that day , leave it at that and congratulate them and I have to say that kid really is something ,more amazing in this day is she is age appropriate .Would love to have her on my kids team but also the kids really enjoy playing against her. Agree that kid could play for any travel team and go where she wants.

So the TG guy says they outshot YJ 2-1 and the YJ guy says they outshot TG by 1. LOL...Anybody videotape the game? Put it up on youtube ...The teams are evenly matched, period. What happened in the Fall when these teams played is not a fair assessment of either team, with the changes that occurred to each roster there needed to be a period of adjustment. After practicing all winter and spring you saw two competitive teams evenly matched. Anyone who watched that game could see that. Move on. These teams won't see each other again for at least a year most likely. Anyone who knocks the "golden" girls are crazy. Both are incredible talents Period.

I'm an Elevate parent without a kid at this age group. I watched the finals on Saturday and it was a great game. There were some big saves, some great goals and overall really good lacrosse. All of this back and forth banter is really non sense. Enjoy it while it lasts - it will be gone quicker than you think and then you will wish you could do it all over again. Enjoy the rest of the summer!

2-1 was a ratio as in twice as many shots. I find it amusing when teams lose the excuses , the refs were terrible, they barely subbed, could have gone either way, it was the fall, it was a showcase ,they have older players, our coach was missing, blah blah. I prefer the teams and parents that go with "they played like crap ".Will never happen but would be nice as a fund raiser for a worthy cause to have YJ vs TG in each age group on long island . I go with the clean sweep for YJ at this point.

TG lost this game! Yes, it was close but a W is a W and YJ got it this time. A lose is a lose and TG got it this time. No one knows what the future holds so all this "defection" crap is nonsense! Whatever next year brings it brings! Girls should play for the club they feel fits them best! Congrats to YJ on their win - A TG parent.

Nicely put!

Do you ever stop. I can ASSURE you the only pompous loser here is YOU!!! Nice how you leave out the part that says SEEM HAPPY... keyword being seem... never said I spoke to 48 families. That's just your twisted spin on things. Why are you so angry. Your kid seems to be on blue. One would think life is glorious over in YJ land, lol, yet you seem to want to scream at anyone who isn't affiliated with that organization as if they are second class citizens. How's this for you. I think people can be affiliated with another club and be happy. The world doesn't revolve around the Yellow Jackets believe it or not. Now be a nice little boy and buy yourself some new bee gear.

You both sound like idiots.

Maybe they are very beatable , maybe not . At least they play in legit tournaments each week, your club plays in mostly week tournaments . You have become very much like the Liberty teams . I thought one of the ideas of travel lacrosse was to play against better competition . Just look at the pool your TG team plays in next tournament compared to YJ .Pay all that money and travel that far to play teams my town team would beat up on .

Newsflash ...."very beatable" quote makes you look like you have no idea what you are talking about. Got to watch two of their pool play games this weekend against MD, Heroes. Fun competitive games ,but at some point you can no longer say could have gone either way. Honestly I watched the golden child you speak of, she is very good player but really just part of the team and they did not seem to rely that much on her as they looked to have multiple weapons. Did not get to see TG game but again very beatable seems like a stretch when talking about a team that has proven itself to be at the top for the moment.

very "beatable" as in has already lost a game this season, had to play come from behind in a couple of games, and the game against TG was a one goal game also decided by a one goal margin that came down to the end of the game.Not saying they are very beatable to every team, but when it comes to the top teams in that age group yes, of course they are beatable. They all are. Is that difficult to understand.

Every team is beatable. The Univ of Maryland lost a game this past year. Some games are close especially short play-off games but Curcio's team is 11-1 against M&D, Skywalkers, TG and Hero's this year. The one loss was an OT game to Hero's in the first tournament of the year without Curcio. This past weekend they were able to beat Hero's twice and M&D and did it playing a very deep roster. Deep team from a talent standpoint that is fun to watch.

Relax. About 7 kids that are Real good. Put any other 15 kids from good teams and get the same result. She also substituted great and moved good kids all over field

Actually your thought is difficult to understand as you have gone from very beatable to beatable. Its funny that your TG teams avoid the most competitive tournaments ,YJ has now played against the other top teams in the age group 8 times , 4 against Heroes,4 against MD. Keep playing in those week tournaments so you can say how good your "team" is. Difficult to even use the word team.

As a parent of a Heros 2020 Green, I will say that YJ and Heros have played some great games this year. All 4 games the parents have very complimentary and we've had no issues with anyone in the YJ program. I hope we play them more, it's really good competition.

Heros wasn't even on anybody's radar until this year, obviously they had some roster movement that is working out well for them and M&D and Skywalkers have taken a step backwards

What's funny is some of the roster movement is girls that were cut from M&D went to Heros and have made that team better.

Politics everywhere even in MD kids can play and should have been given a better shot last year and they wouldn't have jumped clubs

The top 4-5 kids on the field can be accounted for in evenly matched games, it's the bottom half that will decide who wins and who loses

I guess you did not go to the LFC tournament , I forgot you are TG so will be going to The Grind to avoid any actual competition. Maybe this time someone other than the next transfer can score a goal.

ENOUGH with the next transfer CRAP! If the kid is not happy on her current team she should leave! Until it actually happens for the love of god please LEAVE IT ALONE! It's old and redundant!

last i checked there are 11 players on the field, top 5 cancel each other out in evenly matched games and the team with the next best 5-6 players wins - very simple to sse that

You obviously don't watch or you just make things up. Curcio plays kids evenly. Don't believe this - ask the bottom half of the team. They all play in every game equally.

They play as much as the soon to be transfers from TG , TG is losing more than the one everyone knows about, at least 5 more are asking about leaving unfortunately for them YJ will only put the best on top team. Say what you want but TG has quickly been dismantled by the YJ machine. Good luck but the club is now officially a B level.

What's so interesting about your yawn post is that obviously the poster got under your skin which is clearly what they were trying to do , instead of letting his comment fall on deaf ears you could not help yourself. I will say this ,seems YJ has managed to swing the momentum back to their club in terms of elite top teams but has come at a cost. 2020 top team seems to have corrected the ship but did some things early on that is difficult to justify and the 2019 top team and its daddy coach are even more of a horror show. Both those teams are glowing examples of why a daddy or mommy coach should never be left in charge. Will be interesting to follow both clubs and see where they end up in a few years.

I'm not TG but what exactly is B level? I agree that YJ Curcio is the top team but there are plenty of teams that compete in every game. IMHO there are a number of teams that I've seen that have looked pretty good. They would be Elevate Blue, M&D Black, Heros Green, Skywalkers Blue, Steps and YJ Jones. Even Legacy blue has shown to be competitive in their first season. If you honestly don't include TG Black in that conversation, it's just absurd. The idea is to get the girls on the field to play competitive lacrosse. At least that's what most parents want regardless of the daughters talent level. And I think that the teams that I've listed are doing that.

Here is reality. Any top team that goes to a certain lineup of players in certain games in order to win is going to have unhappy kids and parents. On B, C teams its not for club supremacy and you may not see it pushed so hard to win. I have the flip side argument, it is very frustrating as a player and a parent when the bench is not shortened in important games and you end up losing because of it. So you have a choice, which half of the players and parents are you gonna try to keep happy, the players you want on the field in crunch time or the players you want on the bench during crunch time? The choice for the coach, club and director is simple, play to win. So the hard choice is left for the players on the bench and their parents. Do you go the the B team and maybe be the player on the field in crunch time, or be happy to be on the top team and be happy with playing most games? There are a hundred players that would be happy to be in that position and take the place, even if it means sitting during crunch time.

Only the best kids and those who pay Curcio an absurd amount of money for private lessons and security on the team. They are not even the best kids in the YJ program. Jones has players that are better than some of the Curcio kids and that's the truth.

Anyone know of any camps this week?

Politics in every club. But Curcio is on the rise in CR's inner circle. Kid's that keep paying many of these coaches (not just curcio)whether they go to their private camps or clinics or private lessons seem to be protected a little more than those that don't, that's real life. its a business

Thank god only 1 more away tournament traffic has never been worse! This is getting so old traveling to play weak teams. Looking forward to sending her with a friend to the LI tournaments so I can actually get something done around the house. Hope for dry weather on the weekend

if your daughter is enjoying herself it should be worth dealing with traffic.

Always wondered why YJ makes families drive 100s of miles to play other YJ teams. Especially at the younger ages. My favorite was father's day in Connecticut all we did was play other older YJ teams and get blown out. What fun!

Good God... what else can you find to complain about?

YJ did not go to Conneticut this summer stop with the BS

Here is take at the top ten 2020 club teams for the girls. I am open to any suggestion on who I might have missed

1. YJ Curcio
2. M&D Black
3. Top Guns Black
4. Hero's Green
5. Tie: Towson Lacrosse Club and Integrity
7.MC Elite
8.Pride (VA)
9. Legacy
10. Stars (VA)
9.

You are nuts after the first 3

Integrity 2020 looked pretty good

If this 4-10 is off base let us know what it should be? Maybe MD United East? NEMS? PA Express? Steps? YJ Jones?

Considering Heros beat 1 and 2 this year if anything 4 is low

Love the teams that won the consolation bracket at Club National Championship this weekend posting on their sites that they won the championship. Anything to get people to pay your dues I guess.

Who did that

1. YJ Curcio
2. HEROS
3. M & D
4. Top Guns Black

To an earlier post you are right they will always cater to the top half of the roster because they are the ones that win the big games and keep the gravy train rolling. They also know that everyone aspires to be on blue even if they ride the bench so they will never have a problem filling out the bottom half of their roster. What people don't realize is that come recruiting time its better to play 80% of minutes on a solid B team then 20% of meaningless minutes on an A team. Recruiting coaches want to see you in action not sitting on the bench with a BEE on your jersey.

Very true. With all the complaining you'd think that more than 1 kid would have left.

Well according to their website, they won 3 championships and had one finalist and one semi-finalist at the CNC. That would be an amazing day if it were actually true. Considering they put the top teams in one playoff and the bottom 7/8 teams in another, claiming a championship by winning the playoff between the bottom 7/8 teams seems a little bit dishonest. The finalist they claim was also in the bottom playoff after going 0-3 in pool play.

Didn't sound like resentment at all. Just questioning the morals of posting championships that weren't actually won. You know they are posted to entice players to come to the program. Shouldn't club owners be held to some sort of standard? Everyone pays a lot of money for the girls to be on club teams. You should be getting an honest representation of what you are paying for.

That seems like misrepresentation to me, to put it kindly. Why would anyone resent that? Except the people that get called out for doing it, of course.

The finalist they claim was also in the bottom playoff after going 0-3 in pool play.

And you wonder why YJ nation is hated? 7th grade girls feeling good about some nice legitimate wins and you are talking crap geesh. When all the YJ's make the All American LI team will they boast? Such 2 faced BS

You may be the biggest loser to post on here, why do you think its a YJ parent posting this . Most likely a rival MD club who was at the actual tournament they are talking about. You need to look in the mirror and see why you have such resentment of people and how many times your ignorance has caused you to lash out at people for no reason.

sounds like the resentment was directed at 7th grade girls who won a few games

Didn't sound like resentment at all. Just questioning the morals of posting championships that weren't actually won. You know they are posted to entice players to come to the program. Shouldn't club owners be held to some sort of standard? Everyone pays a lot of money for the girls to be on club teams. You should be getting an honest representation of what you are paying for. [/quote]

That seems like misrepresentation to me, to put it kindly. Why would anyone resent that? Except the people that get called out for doing it, of course.[/quote]

Exactly. Saying you won three championships when two of them were in the consolation bracket is a total misrepresentation. It obvious when the club in question claimed 2 champions for the same grade level. There was no A or B division. They just seeded the teams after pool play and put the top teams in the championship playoffs.

If a club cannot post anything about the players they have sent on to major college programs or talk about their alumni - that's all they have. Unfortunately that is the current landscape - there are several new clubs popping up every year and they have to go for the wins in order to have something to talk about. Either that or cease to exist after 3 or so years. As a parent it is up to you to decide what you want for your child.

I understand that. That's why you see the lesser clubs play in lesser tournaments. Putting championships on your website is important to them, even if they won some meaningless tournament against bad teams. But posting championships when what you really won was the consolation bracket for the teams that finished in the bottom half? That's very dishonest. While parents do need to decide what they want, they should be given the facts in order to make that decision.

Then those clubs would not have a prayer of getting that check from those well-informed parents. A well-informed consumer is the last thing a lot of these clubs want. Of course I'm probably preaching to the choir about that. I totally see where you are coming from.

It should matter to mom and dad. They are the one's writing the check. If a club is being dishonest about their accomplishments, then they are paying for something that isn't true.

Any results from this weekend

LOL. I wonder about that plenty. Growing up and playing lacrosse and ice hockey - I still remember doing all the stuff that the other kids do. Yes, there were the various Cooper and Bauer camps out in Buffalo and Canada. But, we still had an opportunity to be kids.

that's a shame. kids are supposed to be enjoying the summer. this lacrosse is getting ridiculous. year round. parents need to start pulling the reins a bit. and believe it or not.....I'm a lacrosse coach. we aren't running a summer program this year. nor am I letting my kids play on summer teams. I'm letting them enjoy their summer until school and fall sports begin. parents need to relax. if it's scholarships you're looking for, if your kid is good enough and does what they need to do on their own, then trust me, come lacrosse season the phone will be ringing and the scouts will be showing their interest. this summer BS lacrosse is for these hs and club coaches to make a little summer income. there's no other reason for it. let your daughter enjoy her sleep overs.

Rebels was the only Maryland team that showed up? Why even leave the island for that? The hotels, the gas, the tolls and the only real competition was another Long Island team?

YJ Curcio and YJ Jones both beat Skywalkers white and blue at All Star Express.

Ladies, now next year u know to skip it. I'm a girls lax coach too. and a male. listen this summer lax is so the coaches can line their pockets. it means zero. tell your girls to practice with their sticks a little everyday and they'll be fine. no need for u or them to be miserable. when the lacrosse season ends let it end. let them be kids.

OMG.....the person who told you that is an idiot. no one is recruiting 6th and 9th graders. trust me please......let her enjoy her life. just make sure she practices a little each day with her stick. that's important. trust me when she's playing in high school if the scouts like her they'll come calling. I promise u. this lacrosse year round is becoming ridiculous. the scouts will find her. who the [lacrosse] recruits a 7th grader when she's could either plateau or just give the game up one day. and listen most importantly....u don't want to burn her out playing her year round. by the time she gets to high school she may be tired of the daily grind with lax and no break. please, do the right thing. I'm a coach and I've seen these girls come and go. the scouts will find them when it counts. my niece accepted a full scholarship to northwestern in lacrosse two years ago and growing up she played PAL. my brother didn't do any clinics or summer lax with her. she just practiced a little each day. played basketball during basketball season and that's that. this summer lax is total nonsense. it's expensive too.

Wow, your niece must be one heck of a player - getting a full athletic scholarship and all to Northwestern. For women's lacrosse. Amazing. I guess I'll talk my younger daughter out of trying out for a club team this fall. It's too late for the older one.

yeah she is a good lacrosse player. didn't really hit her stride till her jr year of high school. let your older girl finish up if she enjoys it. but your younger one don't push to hard. good luck.

Nobody gets full athletic scholarship for women's lax

And she did not get noticed until her junior year? Wow, she must be amazing. Which high school did she play at in MD? Was she at McDonogh? She had to have been.

And none of them got a full ride. In fact, no player on the NU women's lacrosse team got a full ride. In fact, no player on any women's lacrosse teams get full rides. Taylor Cummings isn't on full scholarship.

wrong ... Lasota is

And this is why we are all nuts, someone says someone got a full ride without playing travel lacrosse year round starting in Kindergarten and the fact checking starts trying to throw cold water on the statement because our entire lives revolve around year round lacrosse.

Could it have happened sure, probability very slim however it does illustrate that if you were born with great athleticism you will be able to play something somewhere without year round highly expensive training. On the other hand, kids with cement hands or kids that don't have the hustle gene will have a very tough time regardless of how much money they spend.

I'm not a big travel proponent either, but funny how the "coach" got quiet after people called BS on his niece story. He was making some valid points until he went too far.

is valid points were based on his life,daughter and family. They were all assumptions and generalizations.my family for one enjoys you around the cross and I'm sure others do as well. NBA

Too funny - almost sounds like the story about that girl who played at Northwestern from a non-hotbed area and did not really play lacrosse but was a three sport letter athlete. She also did not commit until her senior year and was only noticed by Amonti-Hiller because her parents sent her up to a Northwestern camp. Pretty far fetched huh? That girl from Texas never got a full-ride though....

Training 7 days a week won't matter for some. Others are born with great athletic ability and the love to run. If this is your daughter, you don't need the bumper sticker for her to play in college. Coaches can see who's athletic and who likes to run in the first 5 minutes of watching any game. Anyone can go to cage with the ball but how they work when they don't have the ball is really telling.

100% correct , That's usually the underrated players in High School who does not play on a Top Rated Travel program and is over looked by politics and stupidity of the High School coach who feels his "chosen few" will get him a "Championship" , as his young group of girls start to Burn out as they get older , and the ones who were over looked rise to the top . I am sure many can relate to this from a town ball aspect.

Look at High School roster sizes because they usually tell a towns story. Full benches with max rosters means everyone is forced to share the ball at the younger ages which keeps lots of players involved. Small HS benches and teams with limited subs usually have town programs that revolve around a few players.

Most of the 2020 call ups this year to JV and Varsity will be from weaker towns that need bodies. 8th graders that deserve to be called up are sometimes left down because they play in strong towns with big player pools.

Or they are not within the right "social circles".

That's why, to me, all kids should be rotated through D when they are growing up. Defense is work and effort, without all of the fanfare of "going to the cage" and scoring goals. The kid you see running and working hard on D is the kid you want on your team. The kid that only runs when the have a chance to score is the kid that hasn't been taught the right way. That's the parent who says "score 5 goals today and we'll get you a slurpee". Just the absolute wrong message to send. Unfortunately, a lot of parents send that message. A strong offense comes from a strong, aggressive, hard working defense. Those D kids should be praised as much, if not more than, the kids on the other end potting the goals.

Amen, amen, amen.

so true, so true...way too much glory is always heaped upon the girl/boy who "goes to the cage' or has coach yelling "green light, so & so"..never mind where the ball, more often than not, originated from--a stellar or routine play on the defensive end. thats where the real work is done...but parents lovvve it when Johnny or Mary looks like a stud by scoring on a hapless goalie...

On BOTC it is often about goal scoring. In my somewhat limited experience, on the field, our coach ALWAYS praises great defense and goal tending to the players and the parents, and keeps defensive stats to discuss. What quality coach is not a lot about defense and valuing smart, solid defenders.

So what really happened this weekend with TG's and Legacy? The game ended in a tie and the TG coaches and parents went back and reviewed a tape and got something overturned? Does anyone know the whole story I was only getting bits and pieces from parents.

The top 100, the pre season players to watch and the year end awards always go to the stat leaders. Some are the best of the best and some are stat builders that beat up on over matched competition. Sadly there are very rarely any defenders that get accolades. In a sport where selfish play is now the norm, nobody ever praises good defense.

Except for the very best of teams, all lacrosse teams have black holes where once certain players get the ball you might as well stop running because it's never ever coming back (whoever had the slurpee line, insert it here).

That was my post and I agree. Any quality coach realizes the importance of defense as does any parent that actually pays attention to the entire game and understands the concept of team sports. Just like hockey, a lot of lax goals start with a defensive stop. Then it's a nice clear or transition break that leads to a quick goal at the other end.

It's the parent that doesn't get the team concept that is the problem. You see them all over BOTC and screaming on the sidelines. They taught their kid that scoring goals is the only way to contribute. Their kid is the one that doesn't ride their defender back up the field all the way to the restraining line. Their kid is the one that lets the middies and D do all the hard work. If it can't possibly lead directly to a goal they aren't hustling. And that is the living through my child parents fault, which is tragic.

Except for the very best of teams, all lacrosse teams have black holes where once certain players get the ball you might as well stop running because it's never ever coming back (whoever had the slurpee line, insert it here).

Ugh, also very true.

Every other sport moves the ball around. Unfortunately in lacrosse its very easy to hold the ball and your possession so the selfish ones can keep it and reset over and over rather than pass. I can't even be mad at my daughter for not scoring, she is open and in the right spot but the many wont make the pass. Their parents must have promised them slurpees

As the father of a defender/middie, I say a big AMEN to this discussion! Luckily for her, she did play on a travel team that emphasized defense, and she excelled. She's a rising senior and she'll be playing in the CAA.

Good for you that your club preaches defense, our club treats it like PAL where the weaker kids desperate to stay on the top team are forced to change positions. Our team is 95% offense running through a few kids and 5% defense. Until defenders start getting the praise they deserve clubs will continue to pump up the players with the most points

Looking for a little feedback. Anyone who played on Legacy last year, or has info regarding the team, practices, experience, coaching, etc., a little feedback would be appreciated. Did SL coach the team? Etc.

SL is the head coach of the 2020 team, the program is a very well run. A lot of practices. The 2020 is very talented and the 2nd team had a pretty good summer too. If you are looking for a new team feel free to come over. The more talent the better. I really enjoyed watching this team play this summer.

Thanks for the info. One question, when you referred to the 2nd team - Are there 2 teams per age group? An A and a B?

Yes. 2020 had two teams. An A and a B team. Both were very solid and were highly competitive in thier pools.

my daughter was not on Legacy but I did get to watch them a couple of times. They had a very competitive 2020 team, and SL did a great jobof assembling this squad . I am sure those parents are very pleased and it's nice to see good teams in action. My daughter is happy where she is, but if she ever wanted to make a move that would be a place we would put high on the list. Team plays a great team game, and while not having any true superstars has a core of about 8-10 very good girls.

its always great to hear people on this site actually compliment another team/program/coach...so often all the comments are derogatory and nasty...i dont know SL or Legacy, but based on all the comments and knowing one particular family/girl on the 2020's--who has nothing but glowing words fr both SL and the organization, it is refreshing to know that at this stage of the game at least, Legacy is doing the right thing and not doing a money grab.
Nice stuff!

Listen, SL is out there for the right reasons and doing a great job, but if you think that he wouldnt want to have 3-4 teams at each age group and making a ton of money doing it you are crazy.

I look forward to tryouts and my daughter playing for Legacy again this year, it was fun to watch this team play and have coaches that know what they are talking about and no politics

I am not naive & i fully recognize the $$ factor..i did say "at this point".and i also know that it is a buisness and the "more the merrier" when it comes to padding the bank acct.
but the fact that SL started a team/program and did it in such a positive manner, speaks volumes about the idea.He is not a failed, fined & suspended Wall Street salesman, or a HS/College coach who wants to pad the retirement account off of a girls lax program. It seems like he saw a need for a fresh program and is running with it. Good for him and Legacy--hopefully it causes the other programs to see what they are up against.

Apparently you can't comment on the Tryouts posts, so I'll start the bitching here - and this isn't directed specifically at anyone. $75 for a 2-hour (or less) tryout?? I know clubs want to be sure families are serious and not using the tryouts as free clinics, but that's a bit steep. A nominal fee of $20-25 would be plenty to keep the bargain hunters away and the rest should be a cost of doing business and/or rolled into the annual club fees for those who are selected. For those who will say this is a dead horse - beat away!

You can post in the tryouts threads.. you simply can not do it anonymously and that is for obvious reasons.

without a doubt the tryout fee is way too steep for every program...but its like a Yankee Stadium beer--if they can charge $12 bucks for it and sell enough, then they will..until folks stop buying the $12 beer,they will continue t pump em' out.Never understood what the fee was for actually---who's time are we actually paying for?

It's insane. Clubs making 50 grand or more to have college freshman run them through some stations

so a big program has 200-400 kids try out for a program...do the math....20k or more in just tryout fees...so, college players cant be paid so they dont (are not supposed to) get any $$...those keepsake tryout shirts are nada cost..that leaves a ton of dough for the Directors...not bad gig for standing around on a field for a weekend with clip board....

M&D Black stronger than TG Black

Much of the talent from TG in 2020 and 2021 are heading to Legacy, this year.

It didn't appear 2021 had any talent

Same thing was said last year and it didn't happen.

But like every other rule, travel lax breaks this one too with paying the kids to stand around in those flip flops lol

What kids

TG girls were nervous to jump ship to a new club, now that they see how successful SL was with Legacy they will all at least test the tryouts and see whats going on over there.

You are correct

you mean TG parents ? the girls really don't care about any of this.

Why? If they are the stronger team and have a college coach opposed to a high school.

If you're playing for EI in HS maybe you have to play legacy, last time EI won anything was when? Getting recruited is the end game and I wouldn't want my kid being used for on the job training by legacy

The Legacy top 2020 team was strong this year! The TG girls that decide to jump over could be in for a reality check. There is a chance they might not make his top team, as it already seems pretty cohesive. Just because he coached you in the past doesn't guatentee you a spot on his top team.

Is there a place where there are rankings of travel teams by results rather than parent opinion?

Also, what teams on LI (Nassau mostly) have good reps for the girls actually playing and enjoying themselves?

2020 is the year I'm specifically interested in but I'll take all opinions even those that are just venomous and angry (those are fun to read).

rightnow, it humble opinion, there are too many travel teams to really rank....of course there are the well known programs, ..then ther are whole buch of other organizations that field girls teams ..then some others that may have missed.
experience tells me that ge your daughter on a team that practices hard and plays in decent tournaments...a good number of programs are just an higher level of town PAL teams. but they throw a college girl on sidelines and everyone thinks that they must be legit. meanwhile, the college kid cant coach or has really no skills to be on sidleines. but boy does that program have a great looking tent at tournaments!
unfortunately it gets expensive to try out for too many teams and that hurts because you get somewhat limited as to where to play.just my 2 cents...

fl$ will have a decent 2020 team for Nassau and will have one for Suffolk players- they are well coached and the girls work well together -

You are not serious about fl$. No 2020 team at all and they will never compete against lower level teams
