I think lots of the unhappy B and C players have started to throw in the towel and the age group will shrink again. Mom and Dad realizing that they have been sold a bill of goods. Their kids don't love it, the parents cant force it and a summer of expensive travel just isn't worth it.

"A" parents are usually quiet until they start jumping up and down about their kids verbal

Wow, that's a deep theory but I think it was something a bit more simple like the topic thread wasn't activated until yesterday. Look at the number of views vs posts. Would be hard to believe that many people could look yet resist saying something.

Actually, both the 2020 and 2021 threads were made active on 8/8.

Have you looked at the 2022's thread? May be the craziest, especially since YJ isn't the best team in that age division on LI there are some teams that beat them.

Are you sure? I know the 2023 age groups are a weak mess, did not know 2022 had lost to a LI team. Who did they lose to?

CR will fix the 2023 age group. First order of business is to draw the TG girls to her program.

too late 2023 girls are already leaving and going to TG

See what I mean, sorry I brought the crazy 2023's to this thread.

Many in our circle are pulling the plug and not trying out for next year. Anyone else seeing that? Parents realizing kids aren't the strongest and using the entry to HS and all the academic honors stuff as an excuse. It didn't help that we had a very unbalanced summer schedule and their kids weren't played a lot.

Do lots of kids usually drop out as they enter HS?

"all the academic honors stuff as an excuse"

Definitely on point here. Books and stuff are annoying and there's like zero money by way of academics rewards

that's ok..there's plenty ok travel lax Kool-Aid for the rest of us...yum,yum gimme some Mr./Mr.'s director

Tons more choices and money for academics but parents always push sports because it's cooler and most are idiots

Ideally you are looking to get the most for both. Some are great athletes and some are very bright. It's doing well at both for a sustained period of time that's difficult.
If I had to choose I would hope for my kids to be brilliant and could care less if they played lacrosse. Lacrosse is over after your senior year, then who cares how good you WERE.

amen

Just dropped my oldest off at a ncaa top 20 ranked school and the funny thing is she doesn't even play lacrosse!

Why would you post that on a lax forum? No one cares.

Maybe you should go back to college ..its I "couldn't care less"

99.9 percent of the student body population at these schools don't play lacrosse, what is your point?

Maybe you should join them; "its" should be "it's" the contraction of "it is". lol

My point was who cares when and what lacrosse school anybody commits to. Eventually most kids commit to some school that will assist their future.

I guess in the end you picked academics over lacrosse which is the way it should be, but 99% of parents on here will have their kid playing in college even if they play at a school that is beneath them. My older daughter has some friends playing in places and at schools that no one has ever heard of because a coach showed interest from a 1200 kid school with a $50,000 pricetag and a 75 GPA

And then there are the kids that are using lacrosse to get into better academic schools than most can get into without it (including most great students who are not athletes). The vast majority of great students are still not getting into Ivy leagues, Stanford, Northwestern, Duke etc. So lax can be a great help in getting into amazing academic institutions. And to original poster, I hope it's a top 20 US News Ranked academic school. Now that is something to crow about.

My kid is at a top 10 school went there to play lacrosse average student and the byproduct is a great education !!!!

So they "are using lacrosse to get into better academic schools than most can get into without it" - in other words a school they are not qualified to attend based on their academic record. And then you add to that a year-round, full time job (lacrosse) and the travel that goes with it. Sounds like you are setting your daughter up for failure - all to play a sport with minimal prospects for post graduation employment. Put ego aside and make the right choice for the future, you'll feel better about it 10 years from now.

Exactly

Totally agree, these kids that stretch to get into these schools aren't taking engineering or sciences. They are taking basic degrees albeit from a great school. But if your kid wants to be a doctor, nurse, architect or engineer put them in the right school from day one lacrosse be damned you can still be a JV or middle school lacrosse coach. For that all you need is a pulse!

Not true, but keep telling yourself that. Best player at Stanford is a product design major. Best two-way midfielder at Northwestern is an engineering major. Best two-way midfielder at Notre dame is pre-med. Not to mention the IVY league where tons of kids are balancing tough majors/academics and tough lax. Is it for everyone, no way. But for those who can handle it, it is amazing. And they would be at the top of my pile to hire after school. And just because lax helps these kids get into these schools, it does not mean they r not qualified students. You apparently don't know the statistics relative to "regular" admissions into these schools. A huge number of "qualified" students don't get in. Kids with perfect SAT scores, 4.0 GPAs in honors and AP classes, dozens of impressive extra-curriculars etc. And you know what? If once they get there the lax on top of the academics is overwhelming, they can quit lax and they still get to stay at Harvard, Stanford Duke etc. So keep putting down these girls who work their asses off to get good grades and excel in a sport like lax, all-the-while telling yourself that your kid and your way of thinking is better. And for the record, you don't "put your kid" in a school, they actually have to get in.

Why is that so many driven, successful people were collegiate athletes? It's because the drive and determination it takes to become that good at a sport are the same qualities that translate to being successful in many endeavors. It doesn't have to be an either or choice for many. Maybe it does for your kid. For mine, I let them follow their dreams, both academically and athletically. Too bad yours doesn't have your support.

I guess you haven't gone through the college acceptance process yet. Being from Long Island and a certain demographic if you are not a legacy it is next to impossible to get into some schools specifically the Ivys without something putting you over the top. if someone uses lacrosse to make that happen and set up the rest of their life good for them.

You clearly don't understand the statistics. I'm betting you would say a 3.8 GPA in all Honors and AP classes, 1450 on your SATs , president of three clubs, a national science award or two etc would represent someone whose academic record would be fairly qualified to be at just about any school. And the truth is, a student like that would be just fine anywhere in the country, including Stanford, Harvard or Princeton. Yet that profile is an almost certain reject at those schools without an additional "hook" such as sports. So yeah, using lax as a way for a good student to get into a great school does make a lot of sense. Sounds like you don't believe in your daughter.

I made the comment above that included "in other words a school they are not qualified to attend based on their academic record." That's what I thought the previous commenter was implying. Not putting down qualified, driven student athletes who need a little push to get over the hump. I was referring to those who use sports to put themselves in a bad situation academically - in a school they have no business being in.

this is the post u originally responded to. I don't think it implies what u r stating. Ultimately I think we agree that "fit" is important. You likely don't want your daughter at a place where they r overwhelmed or feel inferior and self-conscious. It is important to consider their abilities and not let the "glamour" of a top academic school blind you to the best fit for them. But for those that can "hack it", using lax as a means to get into otherwise almost impossible schools can really set them up for success in the future.

to the poster that cited the best player on team X is pre med, I agree that the best players can write their own tickets. The top girls on each team that were coveted by every school get more latitude then the girls on the roster outside of the top handful. Look at the rosters overwhelming amount of undecided communications, liberal arts, women's studies etc. My daughter is not a top players but will get D1 money but she was turned down point blank by coaches after she said she wanted to major in engineering. Coaches weren't bending on that.

Out of curiosity, were the ones that turned her down for engineering in the Ivy league, Duke, Stanford, Northwestern or schools of that ilk?

And I'm not sure I agree that the best players are the only ones who take tough majors. In fact at the Ivies and other top academic schools, some players are recruited specifically for their grades and academics to balance out some top players that might not be as up to snuff in that area. The Ivies have an index to hit and others have a defacto index of sorts w admissions. I know several examples of girls at these schools who are not top players, who take challenging majors, and were recruited in part (maybe large part) because of their grades.

Its posts like this that are just ridiculous. You post some non-sense like its a fact .Do you really think that the coaches are letting the kids they need the most and give the most money to take the most time consuming majors while the kids they give the least money to and need the least are forced to take the easy majors. Does that make any sense to anyone.

I think there are certain schools where academics are important as well as lax. At those schools u see some top players take tough majors.By no means is that the norm and definitely very talented all-around kids to be able to handle it. The rest is more the way u describe. Top players taking easier majors and the backups in the tough ones if they so choose.

Just like everything there is truth to both. Now the players taken with Great GPA's are there to boost the teams GPA's but some are also told or passed over because they want to utilize the University to be academiclly challenge.

I'm sure you are right. But it wasn't our experience at the top academic schools. In fact I don't recall any of them ever pushing back on major interests other than one commenting that the girls on their team taking pre-med (there were 3 i believe in this instance) needed to do labs over the summer and they used this as an example of how you can major in anything, but certain majors are more difficult schedule wise and that they would work w the players to make it work. My daughter committed to a good academic school and the question of her major was not really an issue thru the process. So I wonder if you can point to an instance of someone being passed over because untended major at a top academic school. That would be interesting.

Ivy league doesn't apply to 99.5 of lax players. Those kids and those schools are special and it will always be academics first

Now you people living in fantasy land that believe coaches at non ivy schools don't push kids into certain majors go look at the National Champs North Carolina Roster- 12 excercise science, 11 undeclared, 10 communications, 1, history, 1 psych, 1 sociology, 1 geography, 1 economics, 1 nursing

Great degree from a great school but it looks like they are there to major in lacrosse and win a national championship which they did

No question at UNC. But there are plenty of non-ivy great schools that aren't UNC style lax majors. Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Georgetown ... If your kid is good enough @ lax to play at these places, it's a pretty great combination. Key is to be good at lax and focus on grades.

BTW the Ivy League makes up more than .5 % of D1 Lax. There are 8 Ivy League teams out of 111. More like 7%. So it doesn't apply to 93%. But when u add in the schools mentioned above, and other great academic institutions like Vanderbilt, Navy, Davidson, William & Mary, Richmond and more, you start seeing that a meaningful portion of D1 offers kids both great lacrosse and great academics. I think it does these girls a disservice to paint w such a broad brush and to use examples like UNC to say that these girls who have worked hard to get to these institutions are somehow just lax players and nothing else.

Stanford roster is better but not true to Stanford overall standards and averages-
10 undecided, 5 human body, 4 engineering, 3 poly sci, 2 history, 2 anthropology

But when u add in the schools mentioned above, and other great academic institutions like Vanderbilt, Navy, Davidson, William & Mary, Richmond and more, you start seeing that a meaningful portion of D1 offers kids both great lacrosse and great academics. I think it does these girls a disservice to paint w such a broad brush and to use examples like UNC to say that these girls who have worked hard to get to these institutions are somehow just lax players and nothing else.

Your post is ridiculous.

the undecided r because u don't declare a major until after sophomore year. the human biology majors are pre med.

Because he sez so, that's why.

Since someone brought up Vanderbilt, go check them out. 80% of team takes a major called human and organizational management. 80%! Next biggest major is undecided.

Think that's a coincidence or maybe the coach has some pull?

I get that a degree from these schools is great but the point is these coaches push certain majors

Did you kid get her HS schedule yet?

Coaches weren't bending on that.

Its posts like this that are just ridiculous. You post some non-sense like its a fact .Do you really think that the coaches are letting the kids they need the most and give the most money to take the most time consuming majors while the kids they give the least money to and need the least are forced to take the easy majors. Does that make any sense to anyone.

I think that the inference is that the best players have more leverage in picking their majors than the rest of them

To start the post you are replying to said lax players not D1 lax players. There are over 500 NCAA women's lax programs so the number you corrected was closer to correct than your number.(I get it you are a lacrosse snob so only D1 counts).You then go on to say no doubt about UNC when in actuality you have no idea. They have a kid getting a nursing degree who has played significant minutes that tells me if a kid wants it bad enough they can major in just about anything at UNC and still play lax. Ridiculous to think the players at Duke etc. somehow have less expectations in regard to winning national championships than those at UNC and are thus able to take any major they want. Your next point of schools that offer great lacrosse , no disrespect to many of those programs but putting them in the great lacrosse category is not exactly near correct.You then go on to say painting with such a broad brush does a disservice when in fact that is exactly what you did about every girl in the UNC program.

great then if we are including D3 lets include the 11 NESCAC schools and dozens of other great academic D3s like Swarthmore etc. The point is, in contradiction to the original post, there are lots of kids getting great educations at great schools and playing high level lacrosse. I guess you are the lacrosse snob though?

"no disrespect to many of those programs but putting them in the great lacrosse category is not exactly near correct." Which is it? 1st you want to call me names because I limited the universe to D1 to compare to Ivies which are all D1 and then you say that the D1 programs I have stated are not good.

And the use of UNC by the original poster to make the point that girls on top lax teams take weak majors is appropriate. UNC's academics with regard to their athletes has come under quite a bit of scrutiny lately in case you haven't seen. And the list of majors on that team is not great. So deal with it. My point was that it is not true of all schools, even some with very good lax programs.

Your response shows what a tool you are . Never said the program's you mentioned are not good , I said their lax programs are not great , you changed the adjective because you are the type to state things as if they are a fact when you have no idea what you are talking about . Your comment about UNC academics in regard to its athletes again shows what an ignorant dope you are . The girls that are attending the school now have zero to do with that scrutiny and as a matter of fact the girls on the lax team who were in attendance during that period have never been implicated in any of it . Again you paint with that broad brush that you were opposed to someone else using because you are an ignorant tool. How about you just support the girls who have all risen to the challenge of playing a sport in college while managing to earn any degree even if it's not up to your nonsensical standard .

I think this proves the point that lots of kids go to college to play lacrosse first and academics 2nd. Eighty percent of any team taking the same major a little known one at that is fishy

The UNC nursing student is a transfer and a STUD so she gets to take whatever major she wants. Our middle roster kids, not so much

You people give me a headache

"not exactly near correct" ... tough to understand but sure sounds like you were taking a shot and the dead giveaway is when a tool like yourself says "no disrespect", It's a sure bet you are about to disrespect someone, or in this case, lots of people.

So first you want to say lets talk about all 500 lax programs and then you want to say programs in the top 10% of that group aren't exactly near great. Whatever.

The guy who made the original point about UNC is correct (it was not me). The program is absolutely lax first and academics second. Nothing wrong with that actually, if that's what you want.

"you are the type to state things as if they are a fact when you have no idea what you are talking about"

Take a look in the mirror DB. I know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's one of the largest majors at Vanderbilt. Around 2000 kids in that school. It's an awesome program that actually has 5 different tracks so more like 5 majors. And is coupled w a capstone project which is an internship during jr or senior yr. It isn't fishy and it's pretty great actually.

Next time Vandy is in any conversation regarding their lax team will be the first

Not exactly true but you probably don't know much about the history of the game. They were a final four team in 2004 and was one of the stronger programs around up until about 10 years ago. I think they should be a program that could rise up if they get the right staff. They have the ingredients. SEC budget, decent weather, good school.

Just agree coaches have sway! From "college board" biggest majors at Vandy are 28% social sciences, 13% engineering, 10% interdicipline studies, 8% biology.

Sorry none of them are 80% like the team. This coach like so many others is pushing kids into certain majors so they can play lacrosse 40 hours a week while keeping their grades up

Wrong again Einstein, most of the schools you named are not in the top 10% .You keep proving my point that you state things as facts that are just wrong.

The fact that you are now saying tool just tells me that in some sort of way you idolize what I am saying and is a little creepy.

Definitely not your friend as it is obvious to me that is something you clearly do not have.

You seemed to have backed off your "great lacrosse" statement about those schools does that indicate you are taking a shot at them also.

To say a program is lax first and academics second is just ignorant. Any program is made up of individuals who have different priorities.

Is this really happening??

Well at least coaches aren't putting their players in the basket weaving classes of the 70's, but they are steering them into the majors the coaches want

Seriously , are you really pretending to have a kid on the team , what a loser .

The girls that are attending the school now have zero to do with that scrutiny and as a matter of fact the girls on the lax team who were in attendance during that period have never been implicated in any of it . Again you paint with that broad brush that you were opposed to someone else using because you are an ignorant tool. How about you just support the girls who have all risen to the challenge of playing a sport in college while managing to earn any degree even if it's not up to your nonsensical standard .

You my friend are the tool. Again your tool statement:

"no disrespect to many of those programs but putting them in the great lacrosse category is not exactly near correct."

"not exactly near correct" ... tough to understand but sure sounds like you were taking a shot and the dead giveaway is when a tool like yourself says "no disrespect", It's a sure bet you are about to disrespect someone, or in this case, lots of people.

So first you want to say lets talk about all 500 lax programs and then you want to say programs in the top 10% of that group aren't exactly near great. Whatever.

The guy who made the original point about UNC is correct (it was not me). The program is absolutely lax first and academics second. Nothing wrong with that actually, if that's what you want.

"you are the type to state things as if they are a fact when you have no idea what you are talking about"

Take a look in the mirror DB. I know exactly what I'm talking about.

"So first you want to say lets talk about all 500 lax programs and then you want to say programs in the top 10% of that group aren't exactly near great. Whatever. "

Wrong again Einstein, most of the schools you named are not in the top 10% .You keep proving my point that you state things as facts that are just wrong.

The fact that you are now saying tool just tells me that in some sort of way you idolize what I am saying and is a little creepy.

Definitely not your friend as it is obvious to me that is something you clearly do not have.

You seemed to have backed off your "great lacrosse" statement about those schools does that indicate you are taking a shot at them also.

To say a program is lax first and academics second is just ignorant. Any program is made up of individuals who have different priorities.

You're a dumb dude.

Good luck to the girls in this age group that entering the recruiting process. For many it is starting already.

You sound like a genius . Could not help but let us know your little superstar is being recruited so early .

Don't be so bitter.
Anyone know whether the new high school rules will be used in high school age groups at club tournaments? Kicking the ball is allowed now and holding at restraining line until possession on the draw.

Not bitter at all , just tired of know it all blabber mouths like yourself . Now tell us all the schools that are recruiting your daughter prior to her being out of diapers , you know you want to.

I believe you seem to think you know it all. You really have a problem. You should probably listen more and talk less.

I do not know why kids on going on college tours, meanwhile they haven't even begun school. Parents have to realize that college is not only about lacrosse. When your kid doesn't have the smartest brain but gets recruited to one of the "Top" colleges for Lacrosse, they are going to check grades and when they see your grades in the pit they are not going to want you anymore. Lacrosse only has a little bit of money, because it is not one of the "biggest" sports yet; like basketball, track and field, soccer.... I just think some of you guys should realize that education should always be first then sports second. I don't think you'd want to be a dumb lacrosse player.

Not the poster but parents of would be commits lecturing everyone else to keep quiet is a joke!!!!!!!! You are the parents that can't keep you mouths shut and have been torturing us all for years. My kid did this, she just did that, she got called up, mvp of camp, she made the xyz team, she's in newsday blah blah blah look in the mirror dad because you make it impossible to root for your very talented daughter

And that's why I say my kid will probably go to the same or better college as their's but doesn't have to waste study time playing a game that is a dead end road.

Its all about the academics, i don't know why kids play sports at all.

I think you are imputing something that is not there. Wasn't telling everyone else to keep quiet. Just the jerk on this site. I don't think you can state what my kid has done because unlike what your accusation suggests, I haven't mentioned anything that she has done, nor do I intend to.

And from what i see, a lot of people root for my daughter because she is a nice kid and a good teammate. I'm sure you would root for her too if you knew her.

"And that's why I say my kid will probably go to the same or better college as their's but doesn't have to waste study time playing a game that is a dead end road."

And this whole thing was exactly about how to get into great schools. Maybe you haven't had kids go through the college application process before? I've had 4 go through it. Three w no sports and 1 with. It isn't fair, but the sports help a lot. My original point, to which the DB got all caught up about UNC w, was that it doesn't have to be an either or choice. And for those than can make both work, it's a big leg up in getting into good schools. If it's a choice of just one, academics is clearly what to focus on.

Give it a rest already ,stop preaching as if you know everything. The other guy was correct, if a kid wants to go to UNC, Harvard ,Maryland, UC Berkley , D1, D2,D3 who are you to say why they chose that school and if that school is a good mix of academics ,athletics etc. for them. I am the third poster to tell you that you are the one who seems to believe only your opinion is correct.

oh you r probably the same guy but who cares. Wasn't the point. They can do whatever they want. Just sick of everyone saying that girls who care about lacrosse and work hard to be good at it are sacrificing their academics and taking gut majors. It's BS. Lots of them are doing both.

Facts show coaches like certain majors. Deal with it. Doesn't make you a bad person for taking the deal, but facts show many kids and schools dumb down majors to keep grades up and allow for lacrosse to be their fulltime job.

It has to be more than "core" girls left.. as almost all the clubs that have had tryouts already have a majority of their girls returning. Are some of these programs just milking the situation with the decline of talent in this age group and selling the parents dreams?

Have you watched games outside of the top 20? Not much talent there so anyone that wants to play in college surely can especially with all the new schools being added. If you like the game keep playing but you are right about marginal PAL girls still playing the game. They are everywhere. Most teams have a few horses and then a bunch of complimentary players

The "complimentary" players keep the lights on for the directors though..

Uum, maybe some are just doing this for the fun of it and the parents have money. What dream is there to sell?

Can someone who has gone through the process before please tell me what is a good scholarship offer for a top 5% player who goes to a school ramked 15-30 in lax. Thank you in advance

50% of total cost. All Athletic money. The kid may qualify for more academically, but that should not be a part of the offer. Big ten schools will guarantee the agreed upon amount for all 4 years in the NLI

Typical offer from our experience is 20-50%. In our case, the offer was on everything - meaning all-in costs. Have seen offers range as high as 60%, but that is unusual. 25-35% is think is most typical, obviously depends on where they have you ranked and the position of need. Hope that helps.

seriously ? want to bet the ranch that vast majority of parents, and daughters, really play because they think they can play in college and that travel lax is the way to do that?
The families w/ money play the travel thing for same reason--college lax awaits their daughter if they play travel.
becoming very rare for those that play "just for fun".

"Selling the Dream"....That is what feeds the travel lax monster machine....

It's the parents that will send their kid anywhere just to say their kid plays in college. Those are the problem parents. Get those priorities straight

Anyone claiming "full ride" is combining academic money whom anyone can get, provided they have grades. Athletic money is key.

Hmmmmm.50% is too high. At least by itself. Then there is 'Financial aid' not athletic money but requested by the AD. That can happen unless you earn a lot of money.

50% Is not too high if you are ranked in the top 20. I know of top 20 kids getting up to 65% Athletic money. But... the coaches try to get creative combining things. 25 50% Athletic is very good.

Again you people with the Ivies and top 20 kids nationally give us a break. Everybody on here thinks their kid is a Shannon.

These rosters have 30+ girls and the numbers 5-25 are all the same

Top 5% of what - team, league, county, Island, state, country?

My kid got 25% of 'total cost to attend' athletic money, plus a nice chunk of academic money. Both added together didn't cover the full cost, but it put a huge dent in it. If you divide 12 scholarships by 30-ish girls you'll quickly see that most probably get between 25%-35%. But here's something the coaches can do: They know that the girls who are getting more academic money can be given less athletic money and the girls who can't get as much academic money will need more athletic money. So, I'm guessing that when it's all said and done, most girls probably get close to equal total amounts, athletic+academic. My kid had a high GPA so she qualified for lots of academic money. And, I know girls who weren't as good academically who (probably) got a little more than 25% athletic money. I think it probably all equals out in the end. Just my first-hand experience.

True. An exceptional player will get a little more athletically. A kid they hope to build the team around. Otherwise 25-50% is very good.

Heard the#1 recruit from Bayprt got 75% . Money can always go up if you kill it on the college field and are a game changer.

Don't forget there are lots of schools that don't fund the allocated amount of ncaa scholarships. Kind of like a team not spending up to the salary cap. This happens at more schools than you think

I know that was your experience, but i can't see 12 starters getting the same amount of money as the bottom 2/3s...i've heard kids taking roster spots with zero money on some teams.

and for some it doesn't matter. One of the Tewaaraton finalists this year had no athletic money. Got into a great school and turned into a great player. The biggest advantage to being a good lax player is that it can be an immense help in getting into a better school. If that can be combined with good scholarship money, all the better.

But if you are using lax to get into your reach school, you don't have the grades so there is no academic money. Those kids need the athletic money even more. Good grades fix everything!!!!

Ivies, for example, don't give academic or athletic money, just need. But you are right, good grades makes it much easier for the schools to recruit the player.

But what people seem to keep missing is that kids with perfect grades and test scores get routinely rejected from the top schools. "using lax" to get into reach schools does not mean you don't have great grades. The acceptance rate at Stanford, Harvard, Northwestern etc ranges from 5-12 percent. Most applicants are very good students. And those acceptance rates include athletes, development kids etc. So lax, or some other skill that the school values, is a great way to get to great schools.

A kid w a 3.7 GPA and 1350 on SATs is a GREAT student. Will have ZERO shot of getting into the top schools. If they are good enough at lax, they r a slam dunk to get in. They are smart kids and will do very well once they get to college and will have many doors opened up for them after graduation.

Nice job leg teal dad... thanks for not asking my kid to go primetime. Pretty sure you just took a pretty tight team and shattered it. Not sure how it affected blue but i'm sure people are not happy. You think she will get noticed playing with the blue girls... she will alright but not in a good way. She will be exposed!!! Go back to kissing [lacrosse] at hotel get togethers.

No one knows where secret weapon is playing now. Maybe she will appear at YJ tryouts.

Please spearhead the topic of secret weapon! Who what and why are they being called the "secret weapon" And what team did they leave from???

Or in sum, who gives a crap?

Who gives a crap. Uhm let me think. It's you, I know exactly who they are speaking of and talent is there is she the secret weapon on LI? IDK about that but then much could be said about placing her in top 10 on LI. But in any event the buzz is there I also think she will show at YJ tryouts/ and all other events happening this weekend if her superstar coach isn't training her friends and her. She would always train when she was with us on TG and her personal coach would sit quite and make adjustments.

Are we really back to this? Nobody cares except you. I truly believe that you need to seek help for your obsessive infatuation. I don't know the girl. Couldn't tell you if she is good, bad, or indifferent. What I do know is that she deserves to be left alone.

Nope definately not dad, nor am I caught up in other's children as I have my own to worry about, but you sound bitter that it's not your kid being talked about. And as far as Leg. Everyone from LI and not on LI knows what really happened there. Let's not all rehash it as it's not a very good impression of the program and the parents Which I'm sure you are one off as you sound oh so familiar with all your hate and venom. See the thing is there are a lot of people that witnessed many things and you my friend are just better off leaving it alone and moving on.

Who's your kid does she play for the team that he runs or the teal team don't get mad and and Post [lacrosse] ask him directly

Actually, nobody knows and better yet, no one cares. If this young lady has moved on, good luck to her. I wish well to all these young ladies. By the way, the only one talking about it is you. Take your own advice and move on.

You really must be a total loser . First no one has any clue what you are babbling about . How would anyone know who this kid is . If the kid is on LEG 2nd team honestly do you really think she is better than the top kids from YJ , TG , Liberty , Elevate . You act as if other people have any clue about some 13 yo kid . If the kid were that good why would Leg be only too willing to see her go .

I would like to add the complete absence of context here. I have seen many players look like rock stars on one team, only to disappear on another. Huge leap from teal to team up, another huge leap from there to YJ A or top Md teams. Remember 2020 leggy A was built on a small handful of YJ B girls, with lesser talent to fill the gaps. Projecting a player as a stud on top team of Leggy may not work out as well as you think, much less touting as a top 10 LI player even further of a stretch. Not sure the team's Leggy B plays in tourneys, but I can assure you it is nothing close to the top M&D, Skywalkers etc...of the world. And to further add to the context, I have seen the weakest struggling players on A teams drop to the B teams and look like the end all. The only way to know if a player is the real deal is to put her on a top team with other top players and then play against another top team, do that for 3 or 4 games and see what you got. Maybe she is the end all, but you have no idea as of right now.

First you have to make a top team.. TG & Leg got it wrong maybe YJ will get it right.

Or maybe leg and TG were correct in their assessment.

I can tell you this , as you all know the YJ parents and probably coaches are reading this and my guess none of them want anything to do with this kid because of this nonsense. No there are a few kids who do not get to be on a team they deserve strictly by skill but in this case maybe it was not based only on skill.Add to that Leg had a full summer of watching the kid and if they thought she was a difference maker they would have tried to keep her . Good luck to your top ten LI kid who no one knows but my guess is you wil not be moving on to YJ .

And how do you know that Leg did not try to keep her? It was not Leg's choice as I would not have brought my kid back either under any circumstance after reading how the kid was treated for the last year. It's all over this forum, a lot had to be cleaned up but overall the parents were terrible to that kid. why don't you ask the Moderator who had to step in constantly to stop the BS. If it's not this kid, it's the UNC commit. you all have to really stop hating on children, it's not going to make your kids better or talked about. Secondly who said this kid was even attending any tryouts at all? and even if she is, the kid's talent or lack of as according to you should speak for itself. Hating on any of these kids will not change your kids circumstance. Every year its the same crap when it's time for YJ tryouts, last year it was the UNC commit, this year its someone else. Just let the kids play and the chips fall where they may.

Stop already. You are forgetting lax is a small community. People know who can play. Your critique is falling on deaf ears now. Leg is a very good team. Lost to tg by 1 when they had the franchise. Lost to yja by 2 twice when u guys have the franchise.
Just root all the girls on.

Leg is a good team for demoted A and no choices left B players, Both teams are loaded with low B level players with delusional parents like yourself. real players stay away from this program. I do see your program is having trouble filling rosters and attracting talent.. When do you think we will see a turnaround?

You really are a loser . First how do you know if legacy did try to keep her unless you were actively involved.Second if you are comparing this kid to the UNC commit you are clueless. Third someone earlier said this unknown phenom was showing up at YJ . Give it a rest you are way too emotionally involved not to be thinking they are talk about your kid but honestly no one other than people on Leg b team have any idea who you are . My guess you will not show up to YJ tryouts as your ego cannot take another honest assessment of your kids ability . [/quote]

Honest?

Where was DELETED over the weekend?

You keep trying to get this up and I keep deleting it. You act like a pedophile, you sonofabitch

We are not doing this again.. Leave the girls alone, creeper/s.

Really are you kidding me????

anyone have first hand with GPA / SAT stuff. what kind of GPA's do they need to commit a kid these days? a guy at work told me Drexel wanted his daughter but she didn't have a 3.5 GPA so they had to pass..

could this be possible? not exactly Harvard right? how are 3 port athletes supposed to get straight A's like the kids that come right home at 3 o clock and study all night?

Most updated data is usually on college board. That will give you the gpa's sat scores cost size division etc

Just saw where M and D 2020 committed to MD. It's happening people. Congrats to her..hard work paying off.

The colleges will overlook a lot if the kids a stud. You can walk in just about anywhere with a 3.0 if your making things happen on the field

??? 2020 kids have been committing for awhile

Thanks Dad

Just got the email from CR pushing us all to verbal so she can take back the news cycle but we are still unsure about Suffolk community college

Wow two douchebags posting in a row .

3.0 and stud doesn't get to walk into just about anywhere she wants. High academic schools want the grades and test scores to go along with the lacrosse ability. Admission criteria is certainly lower than a regular student if you are that "stud", but even then you better have good grades, show continuous improvement, and solid PSAT scores that translate into solid SAT scores that a coach can get some buy-in from an admissions department depending on the school.

What's taking so long for the 20's to verbal? We are in October and they have been in High School for over a month already. Wasn't this the best national class ever?

The smart ones are taking their time, looking at multiple offers, visiting schools and finding the right fit. Some verbaled over a year ago, some will continue to explore all offers. It is amazing that some people jump on the first offer thinking that it actually relates to where they stand in the lacrosse peaking order. Believe it or not many of the best players will take their time, many colleges chase the top players so they have many options to weigh. It is not a race to see who commits early, who cares. Early commits are either kids who are dialed in on one school and jump on that offer as soon as it comes in, and good for them. Or it is parents looking to win the early recruiting race, too bad for them

Absolutely not true daughter was a 90 student didn't score well on SAT . Georgetown, UMD, Northwestern ,UNC, ND were all willing to get her in with 1000 on SAT. They had plenty of kids with 1400 on the SAT, average the 2 kids out its 1200 per student. That's how the coaches do it .

She had offers from all those schools? must be a great player. The problem with this post, is that other parents with good not great kids will think this will work for them.

Absolutely not true daughter was a 90 student didn't score well on SAT . Georgetown, UMD, Northwestern ,UNC, ND were all willing to get her in with 1000 on SAT. They had plenty of kids with 1400 on the SAT, average the 2 kids out its 1200 per student. That's how the coaches do it .

Sounds like a good lax player but a brick academically

should have gotten her off the wall and into the library dad

Mom or Dad - not to call out a kid but something doesn't add up with a 90 average and 1000 SAT.

A 90 average would equate to anywhere between a 4.0 to 3.75 cumulative GPA depending on the grade point scale of school.

Maybe the schools could explain away low SAT test score and pitch she had the GPA. But many of the high academic schools don't set the bar as low as you suggest. The average is the team average, so it's the sum of all vs. comparing the two. But NW, ND, GTown want more than 1200 - know that for sure. UNC and UMD not so much, but what you don't reference is your "stud" wasn;t asked to take the SAT numerous times - which if it's true it was a 1000, they would of made you take the SAT and/or ACT repeatedly to get the score up.

I laugh at the implied notion this were the schools considered, because clearly all of those schools don't operate that way. Nor do all those schools play of the game of extending an offer, regardless of the studliness, if they are all "involved."

whoa...geoergetown, ND, Northwestern would take her with 100 SAT. that's got to be a misprint.

what a fraud. even if you generously concede a 90. that's at best a 3.5. 1000 on SAT is not very strong. please don't insult the readers.

I mean 1000 has got to be a misprint.

Can we share what schools have verbals from 2020s? Nice to know who is actively recruiting.

From what I've seen so far it's UNC, MD, Boston College, Syracuse, Hopkins and James Madison.

Please explain to us, what should happen?

50% or more of the students who were given "A's" for taking fantom courses in African American Studies were not athletes. The university created the curriculum so that "STUDENTS" who were admitted to the university with sup par academic credentials could maintain a 2.0 GPA. Students were given "A's" in order to keep their GPS's up. Not all of the students were athletes. The vast majority of student athletes were football and mens basketball players.

Please ask the NCAA to let us all know how many men's and women's lacrosse players at UNC received "A's" in African American Studies during during that 18 year period.

You are a puts and a troll.

You're a little sensitive there Sally. No one said anything about womens lacrosse at UNC. The statement was "cooking the books for athletes" which clearly happened for a brief 18 years. The "program" should be penalized, but it won't. Other teams have seen post season bans, loss of scholarship, vacated wins etc... for much, much less. But I guess if they allowed the regular students to cheat too than it wasn't preferential treatment to the athletes....wild logic.

They may be a little sensitive but you are a little ignorant. The "program" was penalized, they did lose scholorships,they did have wins vacated, they did have a post season ban etc..The logic is that the NCAA should regulate athletics not school curriculum and academics and if the easy "A" classes were equally available to all students it is not an athletic issue but an accreditation issue which the NCAA has no jurisdiction over. Its actually a logical and legally interesting argument.

College coaches suggest to the vast majority of kids what are the preferred majors of the program. Anyone that doesn't acknowledge that has their head in the sand. Coaches are only interested in their teams eligibility and team gpa. They could care less if sally wants to be an engineer. Take communications, get a 3.0 without showing up and play lax 6 hours a day

Just know that getting a degree in lacrosse does not help you later in life. My kids are older now and I see a number of young ladies my daughter played with who have degrees in lesser majors or some with no degrees at all but have no college eligibility left who are unfortunately struggling. Please keep the big picture in mind when guiding your daughters. Playing a sport in college is not a life long career. A solid major with an impressive GPA is. And yes my daughter was fortunate and worked hard enough to do both.

Where and When was the program penalized for this current indiscretion ? It hasnt....stop making excuses. The original comment ( not by me ) was accurate. Accept that your school cheated academically in the interest of its sports teams and should be punished.

Who cares, move on

The previous poster has a point. My kid is D1 at a top school and most of the kids have dropped out of their preferred major because it's too hard to persue the more challenging majors with the rigors of being a D1 athlete. You'll see . There is a trade off

Very glad it worked out for your daughter but go look at the rosters. When most colleges top majors are taken by 10-20 percent of kids why on some teams do 80% of the team take the same "weak" major? The players choice of majors don't reflect that of the student body at large. YES there are exceptions but more athletes than not take easier majors then non student athletes.

I've had multiple children play various D1 sports and it is true that they will get steered toward majors that don't mess with the sport.

Top Ten Universities that also have DI Women's Lacrosse.

1 - Princeton
2 - Harvard
3 - Yale
5- Columbia
5 - Stanford
8 - Duke
8 - Penn
10 - Johns Hopkins

Duke, Princeton & Penn Stanford have all been ranked in the Top 10 in recent years. Hopkins is consistently ranked in the Top 20. Columbia, Yale and Harvard also have competitive programs.

Princeton has won three National Championships. Duke has been knocking on the door. Penn has made it to championship weekend more than once and is also bringing in some very good recruits. Stanford is consistently improving.

Dartmouth is ranked 11 academically and has fielded competitive women's lacrosse teams in the past.

I would bet that there are plenty of women playing lacrosse at those schools who are also enrolled in and excelling in a major of their choice.

Congratulations to your daughter and best of luck. I am sure she will make the most of her college education and experience.

Yes, if their major is Basket Weaving! But I'm sure a BW degree from Princeton will take you further than one from Stony Brook

This isn't just a top 10 university thing. Go look at rosters in the middle of the D1 pack. There is nothing wrong with it but parents just need to be informed that it does happen. The kid that wanted to be an engineer amazingly changes to an exercise science major with the rest of her team so she can go to the school and stay eligible to play lacrosse. Good luck driving a golf cart around as an athletic trainer making $35k the rest of your life

Another jealous, bitter, ignorant moron.

There are some schools, Princeton being one where there are no classes or any academic activities that require attendance during the time when all athletes practice. It is my understanding that all extra curricular activities (band, theater, dance, varsity sports etc..) all take place at the same time. Students are free to choose whatever field of study they want without having to worry about a class or a lab interfering with their practice time.

Keep telling yourself that the girls who choose to challenge themselves will not be successful. Female student athletes who graduate from places like Duke, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Hopkins, Columbia and a host of others will be "recruited" by employers. If they choose to go straight to grad school they will have great options as well.

Go back under your rock.

Ivy league doesn't apply to 95% of lax players. Those kids and those schools are special and it will always be academics first

Now you people living in fantasy land that believe coaches at non ivy schools don't push kids into certain majors go look at the National Champs North Carolina Roster- 12 excercise science, 11 undeclared, 10 communications, 1, history, 1 psych, 1 sociology, 1 geography, 1 economics, 1 nursing

Great degree from a great school but it looks like they are there to major in lacrosse and win a national championship which they did

Just a guess but maybe Economics, Science, Engineering, Medical. Communications is always listed as the easiest major just google it. Don't be a hater. My kid cant get into UNC but has been through the process. Please go look at the rosters. Yes there will be a handful of kids taking really challenging majors on any team but on many many teams you will see 75 85% of the team taking the same, suggested courses. You guys that defend it so hard like it doesn't exist sound like you might be someone who was talked into foregoing an engineering degree just so she could play.

Let it go. The rosters don't lie. D1 players in all sports are guided into certain majors to keep them eligible. Coaches just want them to play.

Hopefully you don't sell your daughter out, There is always a place to play and always a school that will let you take the major of your dreams

How many kids have you had play D1 sports? I bet none. So I'm pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about. I've had 2. Never have we had a discussion with the coaching staffs about their suggestions for majors. Nor have my kids. Are there tradeoffs that have to made to pursue certain majors, absolutely. For example, if you want to pursue premed or science-based majors, you may likely need to take labs over the summer. But those decisions have been made by our kids, not by the coaches. Maybe there are SOME D1 schools that force certain majors on kids, but not true for all. So stop stating that D1 programs are all like that. Likely your kid wasn't good enough to play. Got it.

Then why even play school lacrosse , you sound like you have a kid who was not good at lax and equally hideous in the classroom . You come on here to knock kids who have reached the highest level doing something they live , you sound like a pathetic loser . If my kid wants to pursue her dream of trying to win a national title then go on to med/ law/ business/ dental / vet/ etc school but it takes an extra grad school year , who cares she is living her dream . Keep telling your kid she is not good enough to have it all ,and she will reach for nothing .

Poster forgot every kid on here will compete for a national championship or go to an ivy. Nobody on here will have their daughter go to a mid level D1 lacrosse school. Can't argue with parents of a Shannon

Perhaps you are too slow or just intentionally stupid but jack a-- was bashing girls lax players at UNC and the like. So the kids he is bashing will essentially compete for a national title . If that is not a kids dream then good for them but to bash kids that are living that dream is pathetic , don't try to justify such a placid loser.

Have you been drinking? Are you off your medication? Are you high on drugs?
What are you talking about? Who is Shannon? Define mid level DI lacrosse school.

Never mind, slither back under your rock.

I was looking at rosters last night for the '17 season, some teams do not list the players majors, but a vast majority of the girls are undeclared majors. There is a lot of journalism related majors, sports science majors, and business related majors on the top 10 teams. Northwestern and Stony Brook had the most diverse and challenging collection of majors. the Ivies had a lot of of business majors as you would expect except for Cornell with hotel management. Very few engineering, medical, nursing or law majors on any roster, maybe 10 combined for all of the afore mentioned majors.
I have a daughter playing D1 lax now and have been through the process and my take on this is... Coaches will not demand you take any major, but if you tell them you want to take a challenging major while recruiting they will pass you up unless your a blue chip, then they will try to pursuade you to change your mind. Some schools like Fla, Maryland , and UN certainly have majors for athletes because 1/3 of the players are in them.

Have you been drinking? Are you off your medication? Are you high on drugs?
What are you talking about? Who is Shannon? Define mid level DI lacrosse school.

Never mind, slither back under your rock.

Who is Shannon?

Funny but I gues fame does fade. The poster was referring to players like Shannon Smith and Shannon Gilroy. Both great players, both involved in college coaching, which seems to be the likely career path for most of the blue chip players, so a major in sports science or whatever they are pushing works well.

Good post just shows how ignorant the blow hards on here are. Know nothing about the sport except what pertains to their owns daughters bubble

More facts, you are wasting your time with this crowd.

You must remember the 5 things coaches care about when you're recruting with your daughter/son

1. winning
2. winning
3. winning
4. G.P.A. for the team
5. winning

What they do not care about is what happens to your kid after there 4 years of eligibility is up, because they can no longer help them win, so if your kid then has to spend additional resources of yours to obtain a degree to support themselves, that is a sacrifice they are willing to make. Do not fool yourself into believing a national championship in lacrosse will somehow guarantee success for your child, do not fool yourself into believing that five years after graduation the school they attended will garnish any preferential treatment if they do not have the job skills employers are looking for. Scoring goals is great but will not mean much on a job application, use lacrosse for the key that it is, to get your child into a school that will prepare them for the career they desire.

Shannon Gilroy is listed as a member of the 2017 World Cup training team. Shannon Smith was a business major and not a sports science major. More than 35% of women enter the educational field after graduation. Pathetic you feel the need to put these women down. I wish your daughter luck. The real world is an ugly place and you just proved it.

Pathetic? whay so angry and hostile? is your daughter one of throngs of uncommitted upperclassmen playing lacrosseas a major? Your angry rant proves me right, Shannon Gilroy is on the womans national team, so what shes a good lacrosse player I expect nothing less, tell me she left Florida, one of the biggest schools that "push' there athletes to easy majors, and took a job netting over $60,00.00 to start and then you have a point. Shannon smith went to N.U. one of the few schools that allow difficult majors, for business? N.U. is essentially an engineering school and a law school, so whats your argument their? It's not like she went to Pemn for buisness. You say 35% of woman that play lax come out into the education field, my daughter will be amoungst them as she has switched to an education major, so aagain whats your point? i guess you just needed to write an angry post today? No one has "put these women down" just stating facts as they are pertinent to the conversation at hand, so stop being so defensive about the truth.

Shannon Smith graduated 5th in her class at Northwestern. She got paid to get her masters at Hofstra. Just because they don't go directly into the field they majored in, doesn't mean they were there just to play lacrosse.

so what does a 4 year undeclared major then get a masters in? that is far more common

Top Ten Universities that also have DI Women's Lacrosse.

1 - Princeton
2 - Harvard
3 - Yale
5- Columbia
5 - Stanford
8 - Duke
8 - Penn
10 - Johns Hopkins

Duke, Princeton & Penn Stanford have all been ranked in the Top 10 in recent years. Hopkins is consistently ranked in the Top 20. Columbia, Yale and Harvard also have competitive programs.

Princeton has won three National Championships. Duke has been knocking on the door. Penn has made it to championship weekend more than once and is also bringing in some very good recruits. Stanford is consistently improving.

Dartmouth is ranked 11 academically and has fielded competitive women's lacrosse teams in the past.

I would bet that there are plenty of women playing lacrosse at those schools who are also enrolled in and excelling in a major of their choice.

Congratulations to your daughter and best of luck. I am sure she will make the most of her college education and experience.

Yes, if their major is Basket Weaving! But I'm sure a BW degree from Princeton will take you further than one from Stony Brook

I will throw in the following:

11 - Dartmouth
12 - Northwestern
14 - Brown
15 - Cornell
15 - Notre Dame
15 - Vanderbilt
20 - Georgetown
20 - Cal Berkley
23 - Southern Cal
24 - Virginia
27 - Michigan
30 - UNC
31 - Boston College
32 - William and Mary
39 - Boston University
44 - Lehigh
50 - Penn State
50 - Florida
50 - Villanova

Some other great DI schools:

Colgate, Navy, Army, Richmond, Bucknell, Holy Cross, Lafayette

Thats 34 great schools that offer young women an incredible opportunity. Not all Devision I athletes look for less demanding majors. Not all student athletes want to be engineers or MD's.

The jealousy on here is crazy. There are great DII and DII opportunities as well. If that is what is offered to you or that is what you choose congratulations.

Constantly trying to convince everyone how wise you are because your daughter goes to a DIII school. How it will be a far superior experience and education than what she would have at Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Boston College, Penn State or God forbid The University of North Carolina.

In my experience, very few girls who have both the grades and athleticism to be offered an opportunity to attend one of the schools listed choose to go DII.

Give it a rest already. If you turned down Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern and Notre Dame to go wherever good for you.

Keep telling yourself that all of the young women who attend and play lacrosse at one of the 34 schools listed will not get a great education and have an incredible college experience.

To each her own.

It must be very tough going through life so bitter and jealous.

You obviously did not attend one of the 34 schools that you deem acceptable. It's spelled DIVISION, not DEVISION. I could understand if you fat-fingered a key that was next to I, but E is way over on the left side of the keyboard. You must be a YJ parent and attended Stony Brook.

Or maybe it was your wife typing as her fingers are that fat . Get a life . Your ridiculous hatred of YJ has already caused enough issues in your life , obviously your wife has turned to food to fill the void left by your hatred .

Well, I'll give you credit. Your spelling improved but your punctuation was horrible. Your SBU professors and CR must be so proud of you.

I do not "live" punctuation. I'll assume you meant "loves". Man, you better stop before you hurt yourself and disappoint CR even more. By the way, I'm not connected to TG in any way. I don't even live in NY.

No I meant lives because an [lacrosse] like you never loves anything. The good news is nothing ever loves an [lacrosse] like you. I see you have stopped going after a women because of their looks, seems you realize it was too easy to make you look like the women hater you are. Keep posting I will not let you get from under that rock you call home. It must be difficult for you to raise a daughter when you hate women so much. No one believes you are not TG, but everyone knows why it embarrasses you.

Okay, you're making this too easy. You used "women" and "women" incorrectly. I'm beginning to think you DIDN'T graduate from anywhere. I do not live in NY, NJ, CT or anywhere near there. And, I would only be embarrassed if that dude CR was my leader.

Saw the infamous girl today at tryouts. She definitely absolutely is not her age. Barreling through teammates, no correct age girl is doing that.

I think you guys got caught in the weeds with the "Shannon's" it had nothing to do with their major but rather their sports #1 rankings just like Mia on the soccer thread, Lebron on the Bball thread and Tiger on the golf thread.

Hater,I was at tryouts and didn't see your daughter at all.

There are a lot more kids playing at the Central Ct's of the world than the list you have above. Be realistic. Everyone on here would have you believe their kid is a "Shannon" ability wise and #1 in their class academically

yeah i also heard she is an illegal immigrant. let's get that sorted out. lets make sure she's even a girl while your at it.

Not fair.. girl got moved within 15 seconds of shuttle drill. Some evaluation there.

LOLOLOL I am not commenting on this particular case but lacrosse is the most corrupt of any sport with rosters, eligibility and hold backs bar none. US Lax is weak. Playing by grade is a joke and no player cards is to protect the corrupt clubs especially on the boys side

It's LI latest ploy to deal with the MD girls. They are creating girls that aren't their age. That way no one knows how old she is or should be.

How come the girl moved from her beginning group within 15 seconds of the shuttle drill... CR only moved a few to the top teams and the rest of the 'new' girls stayed together--- I guess you could say she already knows who she wants from the shuttle drill.

lol deals are all completed before tryouts why do you think she was there?

That's all fine... This kid is complete club hopper. Sad to say if she makes a YJ team, she'll be gone in 2 weeks

I guess it's safe to say we were right about her showing up to tryout. Nothing new.

A team or B team hopper?

there were no " new girls " moved to the top YJ 2020 blue team, one was moved to the gold team and that was it.

I am a blue parent, who is very secure with my daughter's spot and is not worried about my daughter losing her spot so I will not resort to the shenanigans here of the nervous parents whose kids are on the edge of being moved. I will however say that I liked what I saw from the girl yesterday and we can definitely use her here. Very skilled and quick and took on the rest of our girls like she's been playing with us for years. Don't see what the issue is, but it is expected. Girl definitely made a top team.. which one? not sure will have to wait and see. I think we all already know though as she was the only one that CR was personally talking to and I don't believe B-D team players are given that privilege.

How does a shuttle drill define what kind of player you are? How come the kid only did 6 passes then moved away from the newcomers group...? CR must've knew what new girls she wanted so they didn't have to fight hard to get on a team, like our other new girls. It was completely unfair to move 3 new girls somewhere else while the other new ones stayed together in a group. They didn't give our girls a chance to shine or at least experience what it was like playing against the top teams. It was expected "secret weapon" , was bound to make either one of the teams as soon as she stepped on to the field. That's unbelievable.

They didn't give our girls a chance to shine or at least experience what it was like playing against the top teams. It was expected "secret weapon" , was bound to make either one of the teams as soon as she stepped on to the field. That's unbelievable.

Just now figuring out that the system is rigged? Sure there is always a surprise that no one has ever seen before but that kid needs more than a few catches to prove her worth. The others have already been told that if they show they will be put on the top team. Don't ever forget club lacrosse is a sleazy business run by slippery directors who make a ton of money off our kids

What did everyone think about 2020 YJ tryouts? I know a few girls were moved around to different groups. What does this mean? What did everyone think about girls trying out and I guess if your on the team from last year.... you don't have too try out
Thanks

I don't see anything wrong with being a complete club hopper. I will say thou that if you commit to a team then u should be there for all tournaments,etc... showing up when you want is just wrong. If you make the commitment than stick to it!

Who is secret weapon?

Secret weapon is the girl who hopped from TG, to Leg, and now on YJ

if she could not crack the top team she was playing on last year , how do you think she will crack one of the top two YJ teams this year. And I seriously doubt this was posted by a YJ parent.. they are arrogant but not this arrogant to start the sentence off with " my kid is secure " . What a tool

There was a few girls at YJ tryouts that did this, went from TG, Legacy to YJ. 3 were from Leg Teal Last year. So which one

No brand new kid will make YJ top team, the only kids that are going to get moved to the top team are from within and purely political. Watch the new kids and see the towns they are from etc.

I think we can all say the secret weapon is a solid B player and would probably shine with some work on that team.. Not ready for the A team yet! Legacy and Topgun got it right. Sorry dad!

Actually yes! my kid is secure because she works hard year after year and by season end, we all know where we kind of stand with the teams, so yes I'm pretty confident with my daughters standing on the team.

Hater! Your kid was probably the one that 'secret weapon' dropped.

There is absolutely nothing secret about this girl. She has been brought up ad nauseam by her parents and cronies. Enough. Let this poor girl just play where she belongs. Sometimes the coaches get it right.

CR already knew infamous girl was coming.. why do you think she was unassociated with the new group. Sad to say she will be on one of our teams... only to be comradery to the team and the program sinks:

Stop bringing the girls parents into this. Her parents haven't posted on this forum once because they don't care about this whole lacrosse A and B team thing. All the want is to make sure their kid is having fun at what she is doing.

My kid is not on the A team, but we have been around YJ and the tryouts process for quite a while as my older also came through the program. I can tell you this that once the girls get to the white pinney,That pretty much means that they have made A or B, especially if hand picked by CR. As you saw by the tryouts yesterday that girl ran laps around both teams and was one of 3 in the white pinnies, You can also tell who made Blue by who the coaches esp who the owner/head coach is talking and laughing with...There is nothing that jealousy, hating or creating all this drama will do to change that. CR simply does not have time to waste on kids that she believes will not be able to bring something to those teams. She runs her program how she sees fit and nothing you nag and complain about on here will change that. If you still have issues with her choosing other girls over yours, then that is a conversation you need to have with CR. Maybe that is why so many girls were still in red and not moved, That does not mean that you get on here and hate on kids, It just means you work harder and try again next year. We have accepted this reality and are fine with the team my kid is on.

Kid ran laps around all the other players? I thought the kid they brought over last year was top dog? We have a new Alpha Dog atop the team now? I see this report from two posters now.

Back end deal made before tryouts!

So clarification... the white pinneys meant what?

it means a kid from the top team is getting moved to the b team .....The more white pinnies the more moving down. So if 3 get put on either the a or b team then three will move down from each roster down to the d team

What is this back end deal?

Back room or parking lot deal = shady, poaching, stealing, broken promises, weasel, screwing your own you know that type of deal

So if the new kid that is better than most kids on the team, bumps a kid thats been on the team for years, but it was done on a back door, thats a bad thing? If the kid is better, everything else is a moot point.

Great! Even more comradery, since this girl is making 'A' team players bump down to the 'B' team...

Seems several great players land on this club every year and I would assume all of them are on the radar prior to try outs, all the great players are known commodities at this point. But this case in particular has such a weird vibe to it. A very odd and very strong, shameless promotion of the player to the point of embarrassing levels. A very weird story of treatment on prior teams and very mixed reviews on actually ability. Not involved in age group, don't know the people involved here, all I know is how this ongoing saga has played out on this thread. Good luck to her whatever team she makes, hopefully she finds a club and teammates she fits in with. I think trying to promote a player on an anonymous thread is probably not the best idea.

The whole tryout was rigged. Shuttle drills determine how good of a player you are. I guess know we can also say stepping out of your car determines how good of a player you are--

That's whats great about the YJ program, No spot is guaranteed if there is no progression, You have to bust your but to work hard to keep your spot and that is the way it should be on all programs.....Happens every year at YJ tryouts,girls get bumped all the time. Why do you think all the YJ rejects are at Leg? Remember that program was started on the back of disgruntled players that were demoted at YJ and decided to go to Leg..Same thing with the one's that moved down from TG Black to purple.. They all ended up on Leg. Has nothing to do with comradery but how CR, BS and SS runs their program and how the kids progress each year. If kids are not progressing they have to move. Programs are in it to win. Can't win on a A team filled with B players hence the lack of talent on Leg.

Buy a clue. YJ most rigged program around. 5 kids from A team weren't even at tryouts yesterday. More F&F than most and private deals everywhere

Let us all settle down for a minute. The stories, saga and drama of one kid is rather entertaining too say the least. But can this really be true as told, a kid out running everyone all the time is funny, how fast can this kid be? How is said person stick skills? and I bet just bet said person is a ball hog. That doesn't qualify anyone to be on any real A team program. Why the sudden mention of this person everywhere, you mean to say no one ever saw this person at any LI clinics, camps and recognized a diamond in the rough? What coaching she must of had to be kept invisible and then appear from thin air too possibly be playing for CR YJ. These stories don't make sense not buying it. But yet she is not committed uhm.

Too sum it up for you. This kid is very fast, her stick skills are great, she is not a ball hog at all. In fact she is always passing the ball and giving teammates opportunities to shoot. This person is at almost all LI clinics and camps. Not everyone has to be committed to be a great player. Maybe she doesn't want to committ and she's only playing lacrosse because she likes it, not to get committed to a college than after college what is there? Coach at a different college? Rather not.

YJ has only one top team at 2020, next team is a distant second

Being able to run is great, but you still need to catch, throw and shoot at some point

Not buying it. If a player that is supposedly this outstanding is in the recruiting zone, she WILL get recruited and she WILL commit. There is no way, in this environment, that she is just playing for fun and has no college lacrosse plans. So, go back, think about that ridiculous statement you made, and try again.

I agree, if she was just playing for fun, no need to spend all that money and time on travel...So i guess she wont be going to any showcases, since she doesn't want to be a coach.

Wow. sounds like someone needs some professional help. Please put down the bottle and focus on your 12 step program. First step is to admit that you have a problem.

We are talking about a 2020 girl right? What percentage of 2020's do you think are committed at this point? M&D only has 2 so far and they are one of the best teams in the country. Is it really that shocking that this girl is not committed?

One word. Average.

You people all take this sport of girls lacrosse way to seriously. This is not the NFL or MLB. There are no multi million dollar contracts.
I would rather my kid is the weakest player at Brown University than the strongest player at Maryland or UNC.

Actually sounds right to me. Not fond of them bashing Leg, but I agree with the essence.... Get your [lacrosse] in gear or lose your spot, thank goodness. People crying about lack of loyalty to players, brokered landing spots for studs etc... Know what? that is exactly what draws the top players to the program. They want to be a part of the best assembly of players that they can . And once you are a part of it, keep up with it or your gone. No complacency. You also need to be accepting if your daughter can't keep up. The harshest reality I see repeat itself in girls lacrosse over and over is parents lax skilling a kid up. 2nd and 3rd grade Suzie really starts to stand out. 4th and 5th grade she is lights out and owns the field. 6th and 7th grade things seem to be evening out. 8th and 9th grade-what the [lacrosse] just happened? All these kids with a head start with the skills eventually get caught up to. The kids with speed, vision, athletic ability and pure aggression take over. Those are the things you cant train or teach, they are born with it. Point is that it is absolutely necessary to replace at tryouts in order to remain at the very top of the competition. There are many teams out there with a completely different philosophy, and there is a fit for everyone. Stop complaining about what a shame tryouts are, the track record of the top teams speaks for itself. The end justifies the means.

totally agree but the lager heads on here will disagree

CR picks up more talent than she coaches up. I could coach most of these kids.

You must be one of the YJ or TG rejects. I see your whole team is still intact no changes made, what's the point of having a tryout if nothing changes? That tells me that it's still the same old team, same old talent. How can a low level B program expect for their A team to win when they have the same old talent? not going anywhere with that but good luck!

Huh? So if you play lacrosse in college all you can be afterwards is a lacrosse coach? hmmmm ... idiot

This girl you are all talking about is 13 years old. Her teammates are 14/15, that shows a lot if she's out running them.

Talked to a few top players on the top 2020 YJ team and they said there was no new player at tryouts that was above average. That says it all.

Is it me or is that statement a little odd? You really talked to a bunch of 13/14 yr old girls about their tryouts?

Half of them are not above average also. Getting advice from 14 year olds

Lol. You asked the kids. The kids. You expected them to say yes?

The egos on that team would never admit another girl has talent. They all are great and they all go to goal

Cant figure you out. You are either related to this kid and are a clueless advocate or a sneaky loser who hates this kid.Did the kid play varsity last year if so how did she do if not it must be a conspiracy. Not sure why you dislike this kid so much or what your agenda is. The kid is an above average player ,leave it at that.

The egos ha you are so right. But I say that too say this,stop it already nobody even knows if the queen CR pick her on any of her top teams. Nervousness of a 13 year sounds funny, as a parent of 11,and 12 year old girls I can care less of the code names given too this girl. I am more interested in her camps, and clinics and personal training if any at all, so my girls can be on the level or greater if possible of this girl who seems to have a bit of talent. Being she is so young which is great, Let's all rally around all the girls playing on every team that comes out of LI. And get back to dominating this game of lacrosse, instead of jealousy and envy! but more like working together for the common end goal.

ok Ghandi

Yes yj 2021 commits to navy and older sister is also a commit. Here lies the question, for me personally. As a parent of a 13 yr old child. How do you let said child commit to a military academy?! In the 8th grade, as a young girl who's barely reached puberty, how do you make such a decision. Seems insane to me. For what?! To say you're 8th grader commited? This is the navy for god sake

You are really a moron on so many levels .First the 13 year old is committing to 9 years of service not 3 .Second that 2021 team is not considered stronger than the 2020 team by anyone but the crazy 2021 parents who saw what they really were last summer losing in virtually every tournament .Why would any rational parent have their daughter commit 9 years of their life to the military when the kid is 13 years old ?

typical 2020 YJ jackass parent response. It was about the 2021 age group and the 2020 age group. Nothing about YJ. Are you so insecure you automatically make it about your daughters club? This is not the YJ thread and comment never mentioned YJ, get over yourself.

Funny and the "word" was 2019s were stronger than the 2018s and the 2020s were stronger than the 2019s and now the 2021s are stronger than the 2020s and I bet next year the 2022s will be stronger than the 2021s. The same silliness happens every year so no the 2020s don't need to "get going" they are just fine (as are all the ages about be them)

Yes, we all be sure to mark it down because everyone cares so much. Thank you very much for the heads up. Hope everyone in an age other than 2021 can continue on with their day now.

How many camps and clinics has this infamous girl been to?

Saw the infamous girl training with 91 kid. Coach is working them, i just don't know why all of you must hate on kids doing good.

Yes that's why they leave . Could it be they just want better opportunities and to be on a better more competitive team . If you think CR needs to actively recruit kids you are just wrong , parents of top players want those kids on the best team they can play on .

I know of three 2020 Boston College commits and they are all very strong players.They play for the YJ,Grizzlies and Mass Elite.

Another 2020 commits to Syracuse from YJ Blue. Great ball player and family as well. Congratulations to them.

agreed, great player and a really nice family

Thanks dad.

if it was the dad.. good for him. his daughter is a great player and even a better kid !!!!

Not a dad. Just a person who loves hard working kids, and humble families.

And by the way loser get a new line beside thanks dad, and thanks mom.... you little troll.

jot this down. something anyone who has ever been to a couple of girls lacrosse tournaments never, ever thought a poster would have the nerve to say. the fact someone associated with YJ can described as "humble families" .. the most obnoxious, crass, low brow sportsmanship organization now has "humble families" ???
that is truly hilarious. great players, winning teams, fine, but humble? sell that somewhere else..

The bottom feeders of lax. Lots of really good players but no one you would ever want in a bunker with you. The land of its all about "me". don't try and sell it as anything else.

And none of the parents care that they are viewed this way. They all have an [lacrosse] attitude and they wear it well!

What a coward you are to post about a 14 year old child. You know what you should do is go up to the kids father and let him know your opinion. Now that would be funny.

I agree. I'd like to be there when he does!

There are plenty of deals made, both before and after tryouts, at all age levels. You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it. Call them back room if you want, but it doesn't matter what you call them. It happens across all the clubs. Not one of them is excluded from playing games with their "tryout/selection" process at one time or another.

Sounds like a great family. The me first generation. She is in the right spot now surrounded by me firsters

So looks like travel fall season starts this week for recruiting. Looks the MD teams had a early start playing National Lax Fest this past weekend.

Heros Green looks strong again . Looks like a good bracket at Chesapeake with all the top dogs in it for the most part...a few easy wins or game off against a few of the easy teams in that bracket.

2020 YJ from BBP committed to USC.

She is an awesome player. The family is great as well. Congrats to both of them.

She played YJ for the 2015 season . Managed to make their practices and all of their tournaments for that season . I think she would have gone to Syracuse regardless of who she played for as it was her dream ,she is good player, she did all their camps ,etc.

Is infamous girl playing in any YJ fall tournaments?

You are a trouble and problem starter, leave the kid alone and go kick rocks. If you are so concern about her whereabouts, why not go ask her parents and please let us know how that goes.

I get it, you're a little embarrassed. But, you shouldn't be because Integrity is a really good team, like I said above. No shame in losing to a better team.

Defeat stings, doesn't it? Losing to little ol' Integrity kinda brings ya right back down to earth. Why people continue to discount the Integrity 20's is beyond me. Maybe it's because they don't do a lot of chest thumping or that they don't live on LI. Regardless, they are a very good team.

Tie? Interesting.

Skywalkers should have lost to Florida Select. They were being dominated by that team-ended in a tie. Heros is a solid team across the board.

Thank you.

Actually TG beat hero's by a score of 10-9. Not that thats should matter In a showcase tournament , but it was a good game and the point is any given daya in anyone can win

It's November. Last year TG was blown out by Hero's. Today they beat them, all that means is good games are on the horizon , is that a bad thing ?

How did Elevate do

Where did you hear that? I watched the whole game. Was 13-7 Integrity and not even that close.

elevate got spanked by Heros 13-7 could have been a lot more but it was a showcase tournemant

TG VS HEROS
SHOWCASE TOURNAMENT NOT CHAMPIONSHIP
EVERYONE PLAYED AND I MEAN EVERYONE WHICH WAS TOUGH AT TIMES
BUT A GOOD GAME EITHER WAY

Scores of games do not matter this is a recruiting showcase. At this age you should asking these questions:

1. Were coaches of schools my daughter is interested there?
2. Did my daughter get enough playing time?
3. When my daughter played, was she a standout, a game changer?

If the answer to those questions is yes, things will all fall into place. If not, keep worrying about the scores, see how far that gets you.

It was obviously a bitter Phantastix parent. They can't believe that they lost to Integrity, again. Face it everyone...they are good.

Good job integrity hiding at Chesapeake on Saturday and Navy today. Always good to go somewhere other than where the top teams are. Integrity has made it an art form. MD United too. Must be an Anne Arundel County thing.

I'm sorry yj [lacrosse]'. Where would YOU like them to play? Oh wait...M&D, Heros, SW, TG and Capital Blue were also at the Chesapeake Invitational on Saturday and Sunday. Your yj, TG, TLC Red, NEMS and Coppermine were at Navy today. Your yj toolness creeps out of you like a nuclear explosion. Let me guess; You think that the only "real" tournaments are the ones that yj play in, right? What a loser.

Good job integrity hiding at Chesapeake on Saturday and Navy today. Always good to go somewhere other than where the top teams are. Integrity has made it an art form. MD United too. Must be an Anne Arundel County thing.

So true. The Primetime showcase IS CR. It's her tournament lol.

Yep. What a bunch off losers. That's a small world they live.

Do your homework she skims and double dips on more than a handful of tournaments that she runs and makes YJ's attend at full price.

So you pay for YJ's
Then she signs the YJ's up for her tournaments
Then she gets paid again without passing any discounts on

Sounds like a Clinton foundation Ponzi scheme

New players played with YG 2021 last weekend. Head on over to the 2021 forum to read about it. Maybe if you are a poached player with a guaranteed roster spot you get to play?

Only players who will be on A team are allowed to play with A team in fall. If your daughter wan't asked to play in fall tournament he didn't make the a team.

You are either of 2 things , I will let you pick.
1) Very ignorant of the way things work
2) Purposely being a moron who wants to stir the pot and make people feel bad because you are a loser.
The choice is yours .

Is it legal for girls to wear helmets starting in January or does it matter what league / club you play for? I am hearing lots will begin to wear

The age old story , some loser dad who thinks his kid is better than she is and does not want her to play with the kids he deems dead weight puts his own team into a tourney and cherry picks the kiss butt parents who keep it a secret. It's a prescription for dissaster and really poisons a teams chemistry. Happens in every club to some extent but creates bad feelings , Leg better get it under control or they are in for a long summer. Good luck the BBP parents are some of the worst and perfect examples of how dangerous a little knowledge can be .

Not surprising... you are talking about a program ran by SL and his cronies including RG. if you're not from Bay Port or EI/I you can forget it. Why do you think most people avoid that program? Politics galore there, lot of bartering for starters, it's what you can do for SL, if you are of no use, your kid suffers. was the same way at TG but it wasn't his program so he couldn't fully run amok. Now he has his own program nothing changes still the same old douchy SL and clueless parents who believe their kids have no other choice than to be overcharged for basic lacrosse. What's the fee up to this year for a third year program? heard you all are running much closer to $1800. If you're kid is not on his crappy Blue team, you get nothing from this program. Why is blue able to go to 3 fall tournaments and teal only 2? Are the teal girls not recruitable? don't they all deserve the same opportunities to be seen? This should tell you all something, paying almost 2 grand to pad his pockets and get nothing but lousy tournaments. Leg girls program is crap and everyone knows it. The infighting will continue until you are all bold enough to address him directly. until then good luck!

And it gets better than that. At this recruiting tourney, in the game that they aren't going up against YJ blue and actually have a decent amount of coaches on the sideline, they playthe BBP girls the entire game while a lot of the better girls sat on the bench. Obviously affected their play as I heard they were outplayed by a much weaker team. Spent the rest of the day apologizing. Nothing like pissing off the players and parents on 2 teams. SL needs to get this under wraps if he wants to build the Leg brand. Better yet, why wasn't Leg in this tourney?

That group of BP girls have been together for many years, playing and doing tons of stuff including fall ball events, long before they even went to Leg. The girls Leg program was basically started on their backs to carry the load. Why so upset that they continue to do as they have always done? Go organize fall opportunities for your daughter to participate in, don't sit around waiting for someone to invite you on their coat tail. Do something yourself. Crying on the internet surely is not going to help.

You people make me laugh , some kid wants to play for a top travel lacrosse club . She tries out makes the club plays a full season with them and commits to her dream school . CR posts that on her website and it drives you crazy .She gets the best LI players who want to play for her , some of them left the club they were in for greener pastures and it drives you crazy . Does she develope talent or is it that she attracts talent , who cares . SS had no problem that her best player by far at Hofstra was developed else where , no one cares.

It gets younger every year , seems to move up about 3-6 months every year

Heard m&d has two umd commits and one unc. Any hero's commits?

umd has easy time picking up top local talent since in state costs total only $25k. 75% of roster are Maryland kids that want to be part of winning tradition. Similar to Stony Brook I assume but much better talent at umd

Hmmm ... don't like women much? First because she's a woman, she voted for Hil. So therefore she can't divorce those two things in her thinking according to you. Second, the bitter part. Didn't seem like a bitter comment at all. But since you probably don't relate well to women, you probably think women are bitter in general.

I'm the original poster. I wasn't really wanting to start a s@#t storm. I was wanting to point out to others on here (mostly the YJ lemmings) that there are quite a few other clubs out there who produce outstanding players. There is more to the girls club lax world than just YJ and M&D.

Not really

Lots of 9th graders struggle with the transition to HS with their grades and socially. Parents really need to back off of these kids committing. All the LI daddies want is for their daughter to verbal. Try getting the grades up first. Lacrosse does end you know.

So Leg Blue..How was the car ride home today after losing to Elevate? Please no excuses such as "it was only by 2" and "it was a competitive game" losing to elevate is similar to losing to beach bums. No wonder you guys like to hide from all the true competitive teams.

It was quick. A little traffic on the belt by the construction area other than that smooth sailing! How was your ride?

At this age, it's all about the showcasing in front of college coaches... I know, I know. I'm still gonna take a stab at ranking this age group.

1. YJ
2. M&D Black
3. Integrity
4. Heros Green
5. TG

please stop what does it matter.

It does not matter and if it did it would be impossible to evaluate since teams never have their full rosters.

How is Liberty 2020 this year?

it doesn't matter anymore! if you saw the M&D Heros Game today.. had to one of the most competitive games played. i know who was watching the 15-20 or so college coaches !!!! thats what it is all about NOW.

Mass Elite 2020 is very good at this age group,they swept competition at Lax for the Cure. They have one commit so far(Boston College).This team can hang with any of team is this age group.

I'd flip YJ to #2 and put M&D #1. Otherwise, spot-on. I've seen the Integrity team play too. They are stout! It wouldn't surprise me if they beat either YJ or M&D next summer. if they play.

Sweet Elevate beating Leg/Stick Chix forget about competing with YJ

Capital Blue beat TG last weekend. I'd slide them in at #5

Integrity the key word is if they play. YG M & D Heros play regularly and often while Integrity hides in the B bracket and after all the A bracket teams fight and play hard then they trumpet how good they are picking off teams that went to battle with each other. join the A bracket next year then will we give you your kudos

Integrity plays in all A brackets. Beat Capital Blue soundly a week or so ago. Go tell CR to give you another massage. You're getting nervous.

Is the Finish Line/Empire showcase June 26-27th for 2020s and 2021s in Baltimore worthwhile or a money grab?

Skywalkers=Not a top tier team

looks like there is another m&d commit this one to PSU. That makes four m&d commits. Wow!!

That was in the past. Maybe they're taking a page from the cr/yj hand book: If you don't have confidence, you have nothing.

M&D really needs to get on the ball with only 4 2020 commits!! YJ has 6 at this point. They should hurry up and get 2 more kids committed so they don't lose the 2020 commit race!

Not bait - just sarcasm, 150 % sarcasm. Might be 7 but only 6 are listed on the website, but who's counting!!

Congratulations to all the M&D commits especially the PSU commit who I've had the pleasure of meeting. . YJ parent

Mass Elite lost to the Hero's and YJ "B" teams at the Nike G8 this past summer. Both very good teams, but that clearly disqualifies the ME team from any "top tier" discussion.

True. But they have added 4-5 very strong players since then. They are a very improved team from the summer. U r correct that they have not been a top tier team. They might be by next summer. Meanwhile, the ME 2019s r one of the best in the country.

If you have ever seen this team play, The BC commit play, you would agree ME 2020 is a top tier team.

Next year blah blah blah.....

In this age group YJ, M and D and Heros lead this age. SW isn't in the same class as these teams. I know they tied Heros this weekend, but last week at Chesapeake I watched a team from Florida almost beat them-they tied.

The next group is Integrity, ME, SW a step down from the top.

Fair enough

SW did not tie Heros at the Cheseapeke they got worked over . just as they did last weekend at the Mid Atlantic at timonium.
Heros tied M & D at the Mid Atlantic which had to be one of the best games played

agreed about BC Commit on ME, great player but there are lots of great players in this class.

On tourney machine it shows Heros and SW toed 6-6 at Mid Atlantic.

Regardless they are by far in second tier of this group.

If you think 1 player puts them in the top tier you are sadly mistaken. I assume this kid did not play UA last year.

Looking for some guidance. My daughter was invited to the Empire - Finish Line Showcase at UA fields in Baltimore June 26-27. Is it a worthwhile event?

1000 invites went out. you make the call.

Your money is welcome...that's the bottom line. They invite hundreds and maybe thousands of kids and some donate and most won't get fooled again.

Thanks very much. The invite didn't say how many were invited so much appreciated. Which Showcase's do you think worthwhile?

agree. its a joke .

Watch out! YJ 20's are taking it to the next level trying to lock up all the verbals

Still have yet to hear of a specific kid who got denied admission because their SAT did not meet the minimum so if you are hoping those schools will have a spot open for your daughter think again.

you don't know many people if you have yet to hear a kid get bounced because of bad test scores, it happens much more than you think

You sound bitter!!

It's 9:00 time for your medication

Who needs sat scores? Just hit the wall...

Settle down Sally . Yes have heard of a kid getting in trouble in high school and having verbal taken away but have not heard of any girl losing their spot due to academics . I am sure it happens but it's rare . Honestly if your kid cannot meet the minimum standards they put forth they really should be going some where else . You bitter parents try to use it as a way to push back against kids who commit early because you are jeolous but in reality it is rare .

Go away troll

Just did a great science project with my daughter. Wall ball against a basket ball back board metal, glass or concrete wall. How many more touches you get on concrete wall. It was amazing. Then I really wanted to expand my daughters knowledge so used the all ball pro rebounder...it was even better(jk -lol).

Conclusion for Study
Parents stop banging your head against a concret wall worrying about the crazy recruiting process. Make sure they have fun and have a great holiday.

pick the showcases that have colleges your daughter wants to attend, if not, go to their camps directly... they have them all year round and some on LI.

Many of the camps these days have several college staffs combining to make it more attractive for people to attend. You see groups of 5-10 colleges running camps together, if your lucky you would see a couple that your interested in, then it seems worthwhile. If your daughter is not [lacrosse] bent on a single school, this style camp/clinic is ideal.

Who cares?

They have always acted early and their ranking reflects it...not as good as you would think. After they lost Rix and Stanwick ... sunk like a rock

Rix and Stanwick were the previous coaches recruits.

BC is always ranked #20-#60 in lax depending on the year. Great education and very good lacrosse but not great. You should be thrilled if your kid is wanted there

Got as high as #2 with Rix and Stanwick. A couple of great recruits can put any top 20 school in the mix.

BC recruits as early as anyone if not the earliest and have made offers to many kids still in the 8th grade. They also cast a wide recruiting net. Its a good academic school in a nice location but will not win it all anytime in the foreseeable future.

Boston College has very good recruits coming up in the next few years. Great team was ranked #2 in the country two years ago, beat great teams last year and had close games. Lost to UNC by 1 in an amazing game.

Dude...FIVE (5) teams have "won it all" in the last 20+ years...so the idea that any team "wont win it all" in the foreseeable future ain't a real big stretch..idea that 97% of the girls playing college lax will ever win it all is pretty remote..so if a kid is good enough to make it into BC --one of the best academic schools in country--s/b good enough for anyone

While I get what you are saying I think you can add 5 or so more schools to that list that have a chance at winning it in the foreseeable future. As far as academics its a very good school but there are probably 40 schools with lax programs that are better. Great choice for the kids that commit there but lets not oversell it.

Great point - motherhood really got in the way for Cathy Reese at Maryland.

Every year, there are 5 or more schools that can wit it all...and every year, at least in the women's game, the same teams are--by and large--in the final 4...while it sounds great that there are possibly other teams that can be champs, reality is that it wont happen...

It will happen, there are a handful of teams that will have a chance over the next 8 years. In no particular order: Duke, Syracuse, Penn, USC, Stanford, Boston College and a couple of others could win a National Championship.

Virginia, Penn State and Princeton could all be back in the final four with a chance to win it all again.

Add Northwestern, Maryland and North Carolina to the mix and there are 12 - 15 teams that will have legitimate chances to win a National Championship over the next 8 years (probably more like 15 - 18 teams).

Personally, I think Maryland, North Carolina, Penn State, Syracuse, Northwestern, Duke, USC, Princeton, Penn and Stanford will be the front runners over the next 8 - 10 years.

Take Stanford and BC off that list and put Florida on it and I agree with all else

This could be the dumbest most biased discussion ever on the board. I'm not saying Stony Brook should be on there but if you put Stanford who SB beat by 10 goals!!! And BC who they also beat how couldn't you. Truth is there is no way of telling it changes every year and comes down to who gets hot when it matters. This sounds like a bunch of daddies trying to justify them spending 40k a year. I would add Stony Brook who has been a top 10 last two years , Towson who has been improving greatly, Loyola a perennial top 15 as well. Be fair

Your going by rankings for their recruiting classes? who jumps out at you, to put them over the top...rankings are a bit of a popularity contest.

First off I said take those two schools off the list. Second you are saying put Stony Brook on the list. Third if you look at the list of previous champions saying it changes every year and comes down to who gets hot makes you look like you are trying to justify sending your kid to a state school because of the money. Lastly if you are going to say be fair then lets talk about Stony Brooks performance in the tournament the past several years before you say they can win it all.

Hey Einstein..my point was that although "anyone can win it in a given year", it does not play out that way at all based on recent history....and every year, there are chants of this is our year!...but if it makes you feel better to know that one of these other schools c/b holding trophy next year, knock yourself out....

Very fair point I agree it's only a matter of time before someone else wins it and think it would be good for the sport

First off I said take those two schools off the list. Second you are saying put Stony Brook on the list. Third if you look at the list of previous champions saying it changes every year and comes down to who gets hot makes you look like you are trying to justify sending your kid to a state school because of the money. Lastly if you are going to say be fair then lets talk about Stony Brooks performance in the tournament the past several years before you say they can win it all.

Completely understand your point but beating BC then losing by 1 to Syracuse who made Final 4 isnt too bad. But I get it. As far as recruiting classes rankings we all know for the most part those are not very accurate and my older daughter was a top kid that never panned out.

Thank You for clarifying the list I posted. The notion that the "team that gets hot" wins it every year is nonsense. The team(s) that win it every year come down to a select few. Facts are facts.
Anddo I think it w/b great to have more winners thru the years? yeah it would be dandy.Who doesn't want that?
But in reality, it isn't going to happen...
Tell ya what, when one of those other teams wins it soon, beers are on me...
Parents can send there kids to any # of D1 schools, but they have to know deep down inside that they cant compete with TOP teams when it comes to recruiting. So even though that team has nice little run in playoffs, sooner or later they run into a NC, or MD or a NW and get clocks cleaned.
Thus the list.

Still a huge gap between MD and UNC, and the rest of the field. A school would need 2-3 consecutive top recruiting classes (proven on the field) to have a legitimate shot at the NCAA championship. Would love to see it happen but it is a long shot.

It will happen, there are a handful of teams that will have a chance over the next 8 years. In no particular order: Duke, Syracuse, Penn, USC, Stanford, Boston College and a couple of others could win a National Championship.

Virginia, Penn State and Princeton could all be back in the final four with a chance to win it all again.

Add Northwestern, Maryland and North Carolina to the mix and there are 12 - 15 teams that will have legitimate chances to win a National Championship over the next 8 years (probably more like 15 - 18 teams).

Personally, I think Maryland, North Carolina, Penn State, Syracuse, Northwestern, Duke, USC, Princeton, Penn and Stanford will be the front runners over the next 8 - 10 years.

Take Stanford and BC off that list and put Florida on it and I agree with all else

Disagree with you on Stanford. Look at next few recruiting classes.

Your going by rankings for their recruiting classes? who jumps out at you, to put them over the top...rankings are a bit of a popularity contest.

Thank You Mr./Mrs Baiocco

"Ali Baiocco from Oak Knoll to name one. One of the best players in the country."

While that may be true the problem is UNC gets 4 of the best including probably the top player and Maryland gets about the same as UNC and Virginia gets 2 and so on. While yes there is some politics involved in ranking the recruits they cannot be completely terrible as the top teams consistently are getting many of the top recruits and continue to win.

50% don't pan out and the coaches are well aware of that, look at how many pro sports teams that draft can't miss players who never pan out (see Heisman trophy winners)and I'm sure that they're staffs are a little more advanced at this then a women's lax coach and her staff. that's why there are 25-35 players on a roster and only 15-16 actually play, they are thrilled if 50% pan out

Notre Dame has their pick of the litter almost every year and the coach still can't find a way to win...

So yes there has been a choke hold on D1 titles for the last few decades from a small handful of teams. But something is about to drastically change the game moving forward, enter the shot clock. I suggest that we may see the tables turn because of this, the dynamics of how the game is played and coached has just been up ended. The coaches and teams that adapt the best to this new era may not be the trusted guard. We will see soon enough.

Sorry but that's just incorrect , Notre Dame actually struggles to get many of the top players , a combination of weather , location in terms of a pain to get to, a very demanding academic schedule , ultra expensive , are some of the reasons .

Boston College recruits- Hannah Cermack,Jordan Lappin,Abby Ngai,Elizabeth Farnsworth,Jenn Medjid,Weeks sisters,Walsh Sisters,Paisley Eagan, Isabelle smith. Are a few of the recruits I have a seen play and will all be there in the next few years. Being from LI, BC is a great location because it's not too far away and an amazing school.

ND meets ALL need (same as the Ivy's)and has scholarship money as well, so finances are rarely an issue and the school recruits itself in every sport - yes if your grades suck it makes it harder to get in, but far from impossible, every team has a certain amount of kids who would never get in academically, but they do get in - they're called academic exceptions. Unfortunately, the school won't give the football team the amount of exceptions needed for them to be competitive, which is why Urban Meyer didn't take the job several years ago

This may offend some but stop with the Ivies and Schools like ND meet all need . They do if your household income is low enough . If you live on Long Island many will not qualify for any aide and are by no standards rich. While ND has gotten a few of the top recruits over the years there are many who had no interest for many reasons .

Penn State. Chill out on putting them with MD & UNC

Last time I checked, they don't hand out championships for having (perceived) strong recruiting classes or for having generous financial aid packages.

Not all recruits pan out and for many in the lacrosse world college tuition is not a major concern.

Games are won and lost on the field.

Notre Dame and Boston College are both excellent schools with solid lacrosse programs and are certainly two of the schools with a reasonable chance to win a National Championship in the years to come. However, they are not the end all be all that some believe them to be. The top recruits can pick whatever school they want as long as their academic profile is strong enough.

No school has their pick of the litter. It is the other way around, the top 20 or so recruits are the ones who have their pick. The top recruits choose where they want to go to school.

Schools with the best chance of winning their first National Championship in the next 8 years: (in no particular order)

* Notre Dame, Boston College, Syracuse, Duke, USC, Stanford, Penn and Florida.

Schools who have not won in more than 10 years with the best chance to win again:

* Penn State, Princeton and Virginia.

The obvious schools that will more than likely win:

* Maryland, North Carolina and Northwestern.

I agree. Penn State is a very good team and had a very good playoff run last year which propelled them to #4 in the IWLCA poll rankings at the end of the year. But this is rare territory for that team, UNC and MD are there every year, all year long, PSU will fall back to where they have always been, top 10-20.

I wouldn't put Northwestern in the same group as Maryland and North Carolina...4 years ago yes, last year they lost more games then they did in 4 seasons combined.

But who cares? of the team you listed BC has the highest academic requirements to get it in. Great school forget about the natty championship in lacrosse get the diploma and run

Everyone who writes on here does so with their own agenda. Go back look at end of season rankings. See who has the most returning talent plus recruits and do the math. it isn't difficult and makes the most sense. It may however prevent some of you from pumping up your daughters underachieving school.
Take this out of 2020 thread as well

Why are we always talking about the top 10% of schools and players? Never ever realistic talk of where most kids will play and get into with average academics and average lacrosse? Elon, Bryant, Marist, Fairfield, Iona, Quinnipiac, LIU Brooklyn and so many more

BC is a decent academic school, not so great lax school, Many better options for both of best worlds, such as ND, Stanford, Cornell, Penn, NW, Princeton, Hopkins, Virginia, Duke. Sorry Mommy, BC is far behind those schools athletically and academically, and will never get a chance to even smell a Nat Championship.

are you drunk... yes they are, pre-season ranked #19, beat Syracuse and lost to UNC,SBU and UVA last year after losing a stud(apuzzo) to injury and Rix and Stanwick the year before. Expecting big things out of them this year.

You're right. Everyone wants the top ten (especially when your daughter is in 9th grade and you haven't yet been down the lacrosse recruiting road - we did too). My daughter had a few offers from higher ranked lax schools, but for little money and she was clearly not one of their top picks. She did, however, have offers from a few schools you mention, as well as a few other similar schools. She picked the one she liked best, is getting substantial athletic money and is very happy with her choice. Academically the school is a great fit for her too.

The freshman they lost to injury last year could have went to any school she wanted to but chose to go to BC because it was the right fit for her. Season would have been a lot different if she didn't get hurt. This year expect BC to be a lot better than last year.

The more reliable US News has them out of the top 30, stop pretending you are elite (top 20), a good school, not tops athletically or academically. Big drop off after the top 20. Face facts please, and stop the bragging, you are embarrassing yourself.

Unless you are from Maryland or NC you could not be more wrong.
If you are from LI you have a much better chance at getting into BC than UNC and probably MD. My son wanted to go to UNC was top 5 in his class w 1400 SAT got wait listed UNC, Tufts but accepted BC. Getting into some of these state schools from out of state is no joke. As far as rankings go US News more respected than Forbes.

The schools being argued about are all very good schools, with established alumni networks. Chances are that if your daughter plays lacrosse (if she plays at these schools she is most likely talented and driven), at any of those schools and graduates, she will be very successful in her chosen career path. Isn't that what is important?

I have a solid B student who is a good player. Anyone know anything about Mercy and Oneonta? Those are my people! Funny how I share I sideline with a lot of similer kids and families every weekend yet when they get on BOTC they turn into elite players and students

While I believe the kid is fantastic why the exaggeration . She may have been highly recruited by some but not all.

Agree. Try enjoying their freshman year of HIGH SCHOOL first.

Games are won and lost on the field.

Notre Dame and Boston College are both excellent schools with solid lacrosse programs and are certainly two of the schools with a reasonable chance to win a National Championship in the years to come. However, they are not the end all be all that some believe them to be. The top recruits can pick whatever school they want as long as their academic profile is strong enough.

No school has their pick of the litter. It is the other way around, the top 20 or so recruits are the ones who have their pick. The top recruits choose where they want to go to school.

Schools with the best chance of winning their first National Championship in the next 8 years: (in no particular order)

* Notre Dame, Boston College, Syracuse, Duke, USC, Stanford, Penn and Florida.

Schools who have not won in more than 10 years with the best chance to win again:

* Penn State, Princeton and Virginia.

The obvious schools that will more than likely win:

* Maryland, North Carolina and Northwestern.

I wouldn't put Northwestern in the same group as Maryland and North Carolina...4 years ago yes, last year they lost more games then they did in 4 seasons combined.

BC will not be winning anything, they're not even a top 20 team and have recruited average players, not studs.

Believe it or not, many coaches are looking for a different style of play out of their "team" members. While talented how far did that style get her HS team?

Yes, and girls are now commiting, which is why this talk is relevant, go to the PAL thread if you do't like it! The Jackpot is a top 20 school who has a chance at a Nat Champ. BC is not one of those.

They also lost Sarah Mannelly to graduation, a Tewaaraton Finalist. They will not be any better than last year. And to the Stanford supporter, not a chance. They won't even win their conference. USC I predict wins not only the conference again, but the national championship. And before u all completely write off NU, They r returning most of their top players and getting a few key ones back from injury and as far as coaching and adapting to the new rules, they r some of the best.

You're right. Everyone wants the top ten (especially when your daughter is in 9th grade and you haven't yet been down the lacrosse recruiting road - we did too). My daughter had a few offers from higher ranked lax schools, but for little money and she was clearly not one of their top picks. She did, however, have offers from a few schools you mention, as well as a few other similar schools. She picked the one she liked best, is getting substantial athletic money and is very happy with her choice. Academically the school is a great fit for her too.

I have a solid B student who is a good player. Anyone know anything about Mercy and Oneonta? Those are my people! Funny how I share I sideline with a lot of similer kids and families every weekend yet when they get on BOTC they turn into elite players and students

Try looking a Dowling a solid D2 school just make sure you get the money up front

Nat Champ?....Thats funny! Let's wait till games are plyed before you make such bold predictions!

USC? That's what predictions r. I don't have to wait. They r very, very good and getting better, returning their key players from a team that won 20in a row and took syracuse to OT in the NCAAs, have the best goalie and added the #1 recruit in the country. They have a real chance and I'm predicting the win. Why is that funny?

#1 recruit is a freshman, not likely to be an impact player this year, sorry. Plenty of goalies just as good or better. Also maybe overrated somewhat. They don't have what it takes to win it all, not even close . You will see once actual games are played

It's funny because they play a weak schedule , Syracuse went on to get hammered , their style of play is not advantageous with the new shot clock rules. When you say best goalie you sound douchie ,she is one of the best but there are several ,UNC , UVA , Norte Dame and others who may argue the point .UNC , Maryland , still far ahead . Watch out for Florida , Norte Dame .

You sound douchie. Don't think we need to watch out for Notre Dame, Dad. No more Barb Sullivan means goalie gets exposed. Big difference. Most improved record and biggest surprise threat since everyone is counting them out ... Northwestern. Best sophomore goalie in the land.

Everyone keeps yammering yet their kids will go to Suffolk cc

I have a kid that committed to top 10 and is smart . But chose the school
because it felt right and was a good fit. She's 15 ? Had opps at top acedemic schools but she didn't like the environment i.e.: student body , coaches etc... but sick academics . Wrong or right? Serious only responses

Don't tell me where I should go you moron. Don't act like a tuff guy on a keyboard.
I feel sorry for your daughter. Make sure she commits no matter what.

Which one kid? I named and referred to many young women, not kids. You don't apparently know the difference. Your name-calling exposes you as more of a kid than these very accomplished young women. I name NU as a surprise Nat Champ pick THIS year, because they went 11-10 last year and the oh so sophisticated lacrosse elite on this website believe them to be well past their prime as a program. And you yourself picked at least 4 teams ahead of them including the amazingly insightful statement that UNC and MD are still "far ahead". WOW, what analysis. Way to go out on a limb. Then go on to throw out the #3 an#5 team from laxpower last year. So your super amazing position is to watch out for 4 of the best 5 teams from last year. Way to go Einstein. So yeah, USC and NU are out of the box picks for Nat Champ this year. Try exercising your brain. Think a little. Maybe you too can come up with something a little different. Probably not.

Not sure if that's an attempt at a joke or you're just out of the loop, but Dowling closed and filed for bankruptcy. Good news is the women's team (I think 11 of them) and their coach are going to NYIT as a group to start a program there.

Listen sensitive little goalie dad, I mentioned many young women, not just one. You just wanted to focus on that one. I mentioned the goalie at NU, the great goalie at USC (national team, yup), Barb Sullivan, the superstar from BBP among others. You chose to focus on one. You obviously are a little golden domer suck up. NU has not won a championship since 2012, has had a declining record every year since then, and finished 11-10 last year and 12th in the final coach's poll. To pick them this year as National Champion is absolutely an upset pick. You should actually know just a little bit about what you speak before you put finger to keyboard. You should probably leave it stuck where it usually is.

While I don't think USC has a chance to win the national championship, their goalie is most definitely the best in the country. Actually watch her play and you will agree. No wasted motion, calm as calm could be, explodes to the ball, and is always in the right position. She was the #1 goalie when she played in high school at SSSA, and still is #1. (Although the UNC goalie that won the national championship game is damn close! That was a treat to watch in person.)

Both of you guys are A holes

Wow I'm surprised by some of the movement. All I can say is if you haven't cracked the A team this year, run. Looks like they moved up the ones mommy & daddy complained enough about, and put the others out to pasture on the B team.

infamous girl is on B wow. Didn't see that coming she!!!

I really thought this would be the year they would put the lax towns favors where they belong, seeing how this is a big year for recruiting and many are more deserving. Guess I gave YJ too much credit.

Didn't see that one coming either. Suprising.

Ok I'll bite, Who/what is infamous girl?

So YJ now has 2 (A) teams and 2(B) teams? Based on the new color code on the website Curcio and Jones are now Both A teams? and the 3rd and 4th team are now B level teams..Is anyone buying this bunch of baloney CR is selling?

YJ Jones beats mosts A teams they play so yes I can buy it. YJ B teams are good!!

The girl in question has been all over the Internet for two years complaining about teammates not passing her the ball,.Club directors and clubs of not seeing her talent. She has tried out for three different clubs and made the B team for all. Can we leave it alone now. Every one of her coachs and directors to date on LI can't be wrong!!!!!!

Save yourself and run away from this. 2 teams for both A/B nice joke..

New girl on Jones team.

I've been playing with this infamous girl for three years, and I don't think it's quite fair that she is on a higher team as per us. We've been on the same team for three years and I don't see how this could've happened, where she is on a higher team. CR rigged the whole tryout!

What it is, is brilliant marketing. 2x as many dads get to chest pound that his daughter is on blue, 2x as many others get to say their daughter is on yellow, which can be rationalized by daddy in a better light than a C,or D team.
Yellow Jackets get to keep more money by selling the teams this way. Clever on their part if the people buy into it. In actuality though, it is nonsense.

ca-ching ca-ching keep paying and she'll keep cashing the checks. She treats us like idiots because WE ARE!!!!!!! How pathetic and condescending. So my true Blue player is now the same as a wanna be gold player?

Actually, I have never heard girl or parents complain about anything as to what you are saying. girl and family isn't all wrapped up with this lax stuff. I don't really think she cares about A or B. or much about lax as we would like to believe. Just a kid enjoying a game.

1st of all no, not the real A teams. 2nd of all, the good B players just moved to A.

Only problem is now Jones will have to play in same division as Curcio, and that is not going to be good for Jones team. Did CR think this through, or will she just continue to put Jones in B division? Hence revealing they really are just the B team....
Kinda puts these kids in a crappy position.

What is an alternate?

Well actually from what I am understanding with the new YJ.. Girl did actually make a YJ Blue team as there are now 2 Blue teams.

Now you guys are getting what you deserve by listening to cr's marketing crap. You've all been taken for a ride, and now even more gullible lemmings will be ripped-off. You deserve this by not questioning her motives. She thanks all of you for her lavish retirement.

First, do you know how angry the loyal YJ parents would be if CR would have placed this kid on the Blue team? Better to keep the parents happy all around by making two A teams and offering said kid a spot on one of them. Let's not act as though it's only A that gets looked at by colleges. Colleges look for kids with talent, they could really care less if you play on A,B.

I cant stop laughing at two A teams. Did she reshuffle all the rosters to balance them out ? No she didn't so if you we #50 in the program playing on the B team you are still playing with #25-#50 which is great but its a B team.

Another let me butter you up so you feel good before I stick it too you again. The YJ way.

It is interesting to see all of these kids that club hop because the club they just left was wrong yet the new club puts them on the B team or lower.

In my opinion YJ B much better team/option than a TG B or a LEG B. if placed lower on YJ, then it's time to re-access the situation and face reality.

I don't think so .CR knows that the kid will be trying out for another club next year. Now the saga is at YJ Jones. Feel bad for that team. Can we start a new thread for this girl ?

Is "infamous girl" real and does she have a name, because to be honest, the whole "infamous girl" talk is starting to be just a little boorish. Either name her, or move on to something else.

What's with you? You talk more about this girl than you do your own. How did your kid do at tryouts? what team did she make? I bet it's the third or maybe fourth..Give it a rest already!

No names or calling out players on BOTC. I'm sure you wouldnt want some looney calling your kid out on an anonymous forum now would you? if you don't mind then tell us your kids name so they can have a wack at her.

Jones is going to be a mess. The new additions are toxic. Jones has had pretty good chemistry (as far as club lacrosse goes) and now new me first pissy people who going to be upset from day 1

They will be shut down before they even open up their mouths.

I know there's no calling out names on BOTC. But, this whole "infamous girl" stuff is possibly making her more "famous" than she may deserve to be. It also sounds like she may not be as good as her "infamous girl" reputation. It's getting old. My kid already plays D1.

You are a nasty, lying troublemaker. Jones will be fine. As far as toxic, I don't think anyone is more toxic than yourself. The new additions will actually be fine, one was on YJ/Jones prior and is returning and the other 2 are great kids. Stop trying to bring drama and divisiveness when there is none. go to bed and get some rest maybe you will feel better in the morning.

Okay your kid might be "D1" but I bet infamous girl would take her down any time. Try her if you want to.

Ouch going to fourth team when your daughter expected to move to Jones. Maybe its a you problem and not an everyone else program. Can't play nice in your own town, got on hear to complain and bad mouth. Your precious gets bumped for the third time in a row down and you wondered why she wasn't pulled up to JV and then cried and stomped your proverbial feet on this sight when she didn't. Now you're back at it.

Four rock solid YJ teams of 25 kids plus some alternates if anyone drops out. Should be another great year for the 20's both on LI and MD. Rising Sophmores next summer this is when it gets fun!

You are kidding, right? Only the top team will be competitive, and they won't even be beating the MD teams. The others are part of the CR lax foundation, where there contributions will be used to fund the CR retirement complex. Wake up fools!

You haters are PATHETIC. So they have changed the color scheme of the teams , who cares .Do people complain that at 2020 TG has a team they label as black when in reality they do not have any "A" level team .

What are jones kids suppose to do? Quit travel because we didn't make A team.
There is not any B team that can beat us and we beat most A teams also ( except M&D Hero's Legacy ) Most of the kids will pkay in college. So mind your F ing business and worry about your own family.

I will tell you this, what CR did was she gave girls already in her program a chance to crack A as the parents were applying the pressure for their kids to be bumped up. Notice there was no non YJ'ers our outsiders added to the top team. The team practically remained the same except for the ones that were moved up from B and rightfully so, if you are moving kids up to plug slots, the first place you should look is within your own program. Prior years had girls moving from other clubs (I.E TG)that the TG parents including the Pequa dad who practically breathed down CR's back and practically bought there way in to get on A and hasn't made much of an impact or lived up to the hype. This also caused many on B to be overlooked. Seems like YJ is now trying to promote from within.

Delusional....you actually think there are 2 A teams, wake up!

Promoting from within doesn't go overlooked by the families in the program however if she has a chance to blow up other competitive teams like in years past by making a deal in a parking lot at a summer tournament she will continue to do it why? Because its smart business. Make the competition weak while making YJ stronger.

The two A teams in certain age groups is a brilliant idea. Parents and kids are eating it up. Congratulations Yellow Jacket nation! Great Job!!! Spring cant come fast enough for us!

The girl going to UNC isn't an impact player? Clearly you haven't seen her play.

I think the purpose of the two "A" teams is for the brackets those teams will play in for the summer. There will be a definite difference in playing levels from one team to the next.

There have always been two A teams in the 2020 age group. I would bet the 2nd team beats the 1st team at least a third of the games so that's no B team. Hopefully they start doing some things as one big unit or is that a pipe dream?

From website (below). I'm sure she'll find a spot for them - what's 27 when you already have 26 on a roster? Only question is 2021 E team that needs a coach and 2 goalies.

"Alternates: Will be emailed regarding open permanent spots based on positions beginning Sunday January 8th, 2017. Alternates can choose to remain as YJ practice players too if they wish. Open spots become available throughout the summer and they will be rostered at those tourneys."

Well if throwing your body weight around and barreling through everyone and a dad that forces her on every coach is your thing then sure.

What are u saying? She is on a team. Her cousin is on b

I wouldn't quit your day job. You sound ignorant and jealous. If you have such an issue with the girls play and her dad you should confront them. Let me know how that goes?

She was a major standout when younger and on TG. Very often you see the kids that are large and physical standout early. You also see kids with accelerated skills at an early age stand out. Both in this case. Sometimes they stay ahead, sometimes the rest catch up. That's the problem with early recruiting, she may turn out to be a stud in college, but she may also get swollowed up by the rest of her peers as skills and size catch up, which is starting to happen.

Do you feel better now? I'm glad you got it off your chest. Have a happy holiday and peace be with you.

This conversation has been slanderous regarding this young girl.

I am laughing how Pequa' is supposedly "glad she is not there anymore"....
Somehow, if the best 2020 on LI and possibly in NY is in your district, you make it work. And I am relatively sure that the Head Coach at Pequa' aint real thrilled that she wont be suiting up for her team this year.
The only folks glad are the ones who talk crap about her.
We played travel hoops with her and summer lax, and she is the real deal--and has been for # of years. Just acknowledge that she is that much better than the rest and will more than likely always be.

Maybe if they passed her the ball without the coach yelling get the ball to ... and clear out the 8.

That's unfair its club lacrosse, when the girls do pass its against their parents orders. Club Lax will always be an individual game in all clubs. Everyone wants to get recruited

Ok. 1st wave of commits in this grade has started in earnest. Does it feel (is it for real) even faster than the 2019s? What is the best combination of super high academics and at least a shot at a final four type D1 team? the short list that pops into my mind includes Duke, Northwestern, ND? Any others. And I know, I will be told my kid can't go to any of them. But I can dream, right?

You people are sick in the head . Talking about a 14 year old kid this way! Get a life !

Will the two A teams practice as a group of 30? Will rosters be interchangeable?

Princeton ?

More like 50 if you're talking about YJ.

Anyone have a complete list of schools adding girls lax in 2017, 2018 and 2019?

its been happening for years interchangeable lineups!!!

Good list. I don't think Stanford, Princeton, JH have a realistic shot at final 4s anymore. Stanford won't get past USC let alone the rest. Princeton is at best a 10-20 team now and might fall back a bit. JH definitely not a top 4 type team. Having said all of that, would be thrilled to have my daughter go to any of these places of course.

Don't listen to anyone who tell you that your daughter can't go to any of them.

Personally, I would encourage my daughter to make academics the top priority but to each her own.

If your daughter is a great lacrosse player with great grades she will be able to choose whatever school she wants.

If she is a good lacrosse player with great grades she will also have options at the highest academic schools.

If she is a great lacrosse player with decent grades she will have some incredible options but might not be able to select one of the top academic schools.

Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Hopkins, Northwestern, Notre Dame are the top academic schools which have the best chance at getting to the Final Four.

Obviously, Harvard, Yale, Columbia are all Top 10 academic universities.

Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Cal Berkely are considered top 20 universities by US News and all have competitive lacrosse programs.

Southern Cal, Virginia, Michigan, North Carolina, Boston College, William & Mary all come in ranked 32 or lower for National Universities.

Pretty incredible list of schools to choose from. Yes, I know there are a lot of other really great schools and there is a fit for everyone.

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to post a list of the top 5 lacrosse programs on the Island?
Without this being a YJ/TG battle ??

If your daughter is in 9th grade and you are currently not on a travel team, first of all it's too late for most the better programs for next summer. Second, if she is new to travel, she probably does not have the skills to be on YJ or TG. There may be some other clubs that still could have spots, but they will not be at the same level. Liberty, 89+2, lgcy, Igloo could have openings if you email the director

Ok YJ dad I'll bite...
In totality based on kids and coaching here is my list but EVERY club has some real coaching stinkers and the YJ's might have the most bad coaches just based on their size-
1. YJ's
2/3 tie Top Guns / Liberty
4/5 tie Wave / Legacy

I love the suggestion that the A and B team be interchangeable. pretty sure that's a suggestion coming from a B mommy. face it...your child didn't make the A team this year. sell that b.s. elsewhere.

A director said having two A teams was going to make transit between teams much easier

what is zumnuts?

This past summer in Indiana the difference between the two YJ 2020 teams was really dramatic. Our daughter's team played both of them at the tournament and I was at both games as a spectator. Presumably these were the top two 2020 teams YJ put together.

YJ "Gold" was decent, fine, not great, nothing special, would have been pretty run-of-the-mill back in MD.

YJ "Blue", the winners of the tournament, were absolutely next level. I have seen all the legit 2020 teams... Heros Green, M&D Black, Integrity, etc.... and this YJ Blue team was the best 2020 team I have ever seen, not an ounce of doubt.

Hello,
My daughter is not new I am not a YJ dad. It's a simple question.
Parents actually come on here for help. So again I'm asking if anyone could just simply list who they think are the best. I don't understand why everything is a problem on this site?
My daughter is/was on TG. High school!

Thank you in advance

Which MD team cant they beat? You sound like a fool when you come on here and say nonsense.

Depends on what you are looking for. The best team with the most talent is YJ easily. Best coaching maybe Liberty but team is not great.

What does " no goons allowed, plus only smart kids" ??
Would you like to explain...

How is 2020 A and B on Liberty?

What recruiting tournaments should the girls be in for this Summer?

So let me get this straight you are saying YJ Curcio can't beat MD black when in actuality the beat them 2x this past summer, yes they also lost to them. You are just a fool babbling about stuff you have no idea about.

No sense to argue, it's an opinion. Depends on what style player you like, both very good for very different reasons. I personally like the BC player style better as well, can't tell who who is better.

I mean it's easy when you're bigger than just about every girl on the field and body through everyone. I too like the BC commits style better, she is a stud.

Thanks mom and dad got your opinions but honestly they are the only ones who think those kids are the best players . Read the above post that team plays better without the ball hog kids just look at them at the U14 . Unfortunately the coach will let those two do whatever they want , show up , not show up the coach will keep them out there over kids who play the team game .

Best player is laughable , UNC kid is better in every aspect of the game but honestly not sure either are best on the team there are several who make the players around them better and they are not that type player .

The best player is the Virginia recruit from Mattituck, and please stop with the other kids around make that team better. After those 3 and Mt. Sinai player everybody else is a step down. That is a fact!

is the infamous girl this unc commit on YJ???

Is the Syracuse commit on YJ still on that team. Must be hard traveling from florida.

Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Johns Hoplins, Northwestern and Notre Dame.

Good list. I don't think Stanford, Princeton, JH have a realistic shot at final 4s anymore. Stanford won't get past USC let alone the rest. Princeton is at best a 10-20 team now and might fall back a bit. JH definitely not a top 4 type team. Having said all of that, would be thrilled to have my daughter go to any of these places of course.

The question was, "What is the best combination of super high academics and at least a shot at a final four type D1 team?".

Princeton made it to the final 8 teams in 2015. Their strength of schedule has been top 10 in each of the past three years and they have knocked off such teams as Penn State, Virginia and Southern Cal they also had a very respectable 1 goal loss to a Maryland squad which won the National Championship. The Tigers continue to bring in strong recruiting classes and no doubt have a chance to make it back to the final four.

Stanford has finished the season with very respectable records (14-5, 15-3, 15-5) over the past three seasons. During that same time The Cardinal have wins Vs Ohio State, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, Penn State and Southern Cal. Stanford most certainly is a super high academic school that also has a very competitive lacrosse team.

Johns Hopkins has also shown that they can compete. Since 2014 Hopkins has beaten Northwestern, Duke, Penn State, Virginia, Stony Brook (a BOC favorite), Boston College and Ohio State. They also played Florida to 1 goal and Maryland to 2 goals respectfully. (Come to think of it, Princeton also beat a highly touted Stony Brook team that many on this site had going to the Final Four). With Hopkins now in the Big Ten their SOS will improve and I believe they will become even more competitive.

Are you all really this dense . There is no chance any parent would post something like that to put their kid in the line of fire .These things are most likely posted by ill intentioned adults who want 13-14 year old girls dragged thru the mud . Stop indulging these idiots by doing exactly what they want you to do which is drag these kids and their families down .

You're obviously clueless, for a kid fairly new to the sport I'm impressed as my daughter has been playing since 1st grade. I guess you have never seen that girl, and I am guessing you were not at YJ tryouts to see the job she did on those girls on both A and B. Did any non YJ players crack the A team?

Long Islanders hates every kid better than their own. Most of the negative comments and hate on this page about these 2 or 3 girls that are very good lax players and doing things on LI are from parents whose kid can't cut it or kids themselves that are jealous. How can you tell when you have made it? When you make it to BOTC.

USL sanctioned tournament = kids have to play with their correct age group. Can't play down must play on age. Correct age kids played with their respective age groups true 2020's played with 2020's etc. No way around it or no way to hide it when it comes to official USL tournaments.

Older kids that are larger will always appear more dominant and physical. believe it or not there are a lot of 15+ kids all over these teams

Wrong again, kids can play up in age.Just because you play U15 does not mean you are not U14 age.

So you accuse a few kids of being held/left back in school when you have no knowledge of how old they actually are and someone calls you a moron for doing it but its their issue not yours.

Looks like everyone on the A team had a jersey # so no outsiders cracked the top team. 3 or 4 non YJ made the B team. A few existing A's went down and a few existing B's went up. Looks like the fairest tryouts in years. I think its great that existing B's were rewarded and moved up before outsiders were put on the Curcio team like in years past

I think your points are all valid. I just don't think any of those 3 teams will be getting to the final 4 any time soon. In fact, I think Stanford and Princeton are taking steps backwards going forward. Looking at their recruiting classes, I would say they will maintain in the 10-20 range, not be heading into top 4 territory. JH moving to Big Ten may change things for them, you're right. Lets see how that goes. In the meantime, I think the two teams w the best combination of very challenging academics and realistic final 4 chances are Duke and NU.

Looks like everyone on the A team had a jersey # so no outsiders cracked the top team. 3 or 4 non YJ made the B team. A few existing A's went down and a few existing B's went up. Looks like the fairest tryouts in years. I think its great that existing B's were rewarded and moved up before outsiders were put on the Curcio team like in years past [/quote]

Looks like you have no idea how things work, fair as in who has paid the recruiting fee or who has paid for private lessons .I guess that's fair because everyone can pay the extra but don't pretend it's purely lacrosse based. That said to those who made the top team without buying your way on congrats .

Sorry but I don't think you can gripe this year. Everybody thought the new kids would make A. Nobody thought A kids would be dropped. The B call ups to A will always be argued because they just hit the lottery and everyone else had a losing ticket

YJ "Blue", the winners of the tournament, were absolutely next level. I have seen all the legit 2020 teams... Heros Green, M&D Black, Integrity, etc.... and this YJ Blue team was the best 2020 team I have ever seen, not an ounce of doubt.

and the best player (UNC kid) played with the 2019's

She is not the best player im sorry, everyone will catch up to her once they grow. best player is the BC girl.

BC doesn't like contact and the college game is twice as physical as anything seen in HS or the summer circuit. Sorry dad, but not even a close comparison

Thank you in advance

# 1 is Wave
# 2 is fl$
# 3 is 91
#4 Team Elevate

i am assuming the above list is a joke and thatthe TG, YJ and liberty list is more accurate. i mean fl$ and 91 are boys clubs and the 2020 elevate team has some of the worst coaching out there. this made me chuckle. no doubt yj, tg anx liberty are the top 3 on the island.

USL sanctioned tournament = kids have to play with their correct age group. Can't play down must play on age. Correct age kids played with their respective age groups true 2020's played with 2020's etc. No way around it or no way to hide it when it comes to official USL tournaments.

If a 2020 plays on a 2019 team, that's playing up, not down.

I am sure the above list was a joke. YJ is still probably the best team I would take liberty over TG ESPECIALLY when it comes to coaching. I think overall Liberty has amazing coaching and I think the liberty 2019 is a great example of what good coaching can do.

Such a dumb point... This girl is the best, not even a parent, not even from long island, in my opinion she is the best.

This entire conversation is dumb. Everyone has an opinion as to who they think is the best and why. You could argue it endlessly (which you have). All good players and all offer different things. Should be fun to watch ALL of these girls in college.

Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Johns Hoplins, Northwestern and Notre Dame.

Good list. I don't think Stanford, Princeton, JH have a realistic shot at final 4s anymore. Stanford won't get past USC let alone the rest. Princeton is at best a 10-20 team now and might fall back a bit. JH definitely not a top 4 type team. Having said all of that, would be thrilled to have my daughter go to any of these places of course.

The question was, "What is the best combination of super high academics and at least a shot at a final four type D1 team?".

Princeton made it to the final 8 teams in 2015. Their strength of schedule has been top 10 in each of the past three years and they have knocked off such teams as Penn State, Virginia and Southern Cal they also had a very respectable 1 goal loss to a Maryland squad which won the National Championship. The Tigers continue to bring in strong recruiting classes and no doubt have a chance to make it back to the final four.

Stanford has finished the season with very respectable records (14-5, 15-3, 15-5) over the past three seasons. During that same time The Cardinal have wins Vs Ohio State, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, Penn State and Southern Cal. Stanford most certainly is a super high academic school that also has a very competitive lacrosse team.

Johns Hopkins has also shown that they can compete. Since 2014 Hopkins has beaten Northwestern, Duke, Penn State, Virginia, Stony Brook (a BOC favorite), Boston College and Ohio State. They also played Florida to 1 goal and Maryland to 2 goals respectfully. (Come to think of it, Princeton also beat a highly touted Stony Brook team that many on this site had going to the Final Four). With Hopkins now in the Big Ten their SOS will improve and I believe they will become even more competitive.

I think your points are all valid. I just don't think any of those 3 teams will be getting to the final 4 any time soon. In fact, I think Stanford and Princeton are taking steps backwards going forward. Looking at their recruiting classes, I would say they will maintain in the 10-20 range, not be heading into top 4 territory. JH moving to Big Ten may change things for them, you're right. Lets see how that goes. In the meantime, I think the two teams w the best combination of very challenging academics and realistic final 4 chances are Duke and NU.

Lacrosse:

Northwestern, Duke, Notre Dame, Princeton, Penn, Hopkins, Stanford .

Academics:

Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Hopkins, Northwestern, Notre Dame.

Splitting hairs. All great schools with great lacrosse programs. Student athletes attending these universities are all very fortunate. Working hard in the classroom and on the athletic field is what enables young women to be presented with such incredible opportunities. Making the Final Four is great but in the end who really cares?

Let the fools worry about the ranking of club teams. Players on the teams listed above come from all over the place and they played for many different clubs. Let the meatheads worry about who the best 9th grade player is. Worry about your own kid and help her find the best fit at the best academic school possible.

Do you think the 2016 graduates from Harvard, Yale, Princeton Stanford, Columbia, Duke, Penn or Hopkins are worrying about the final four?

Eight of the Top Ten Universities in the country have competitive DI Women's Lacrosse programs. There are approximately 75 - 85 roster spots available per recruiting year.

16 of the Top 20 Universities have competitive programs. Thats another 80 or so spots.

Let the morons worry about who is best in the 9th grade. Focus on having your daughter land one of those spots.

If my kid made it to any of those schools mentioned above, which both of my kids did, varsity sports was NOT an option.

Great academic schools like those mentioned which a child can gain admission to should be maxed out for their career course study and networking with alum.

Out of the blue question but does anybody know how many M&D 2020's have verbally committed. Is it just YJ that is moving at such a fast pace with almost 50% of the team committed.

From updates on there page it looks like 6-7 M and D have committed. There is probably 3-5 that haven't announced.

She's an after thought in the must win games, when the coach is yelling to get the ball the unc kid and clear the 8, but I guess that make her an asset as a great decoy

Nice try. Wish the coach would call isolation plays but that never happens. The team would be better if that was the case. There are two ends of the field and some players impact the game in more ways then others. If you would watch all aspects of the game you may see things differently.

None yet. Maybe leaving YJ wasn't such a good idea.

The team and club was founded on 2020 YJ b team girls. Has any of YJ 2020 b team girls committed yet? No. They are still on par with what they left from.

I agree! My daughter was a 2016 that is now a freshman at a D1 school. One thing I learned was to never disparage the choice that a young player and family has made. There is no professional women's lacrosse league, so this isn't a contest to see who can get to the "best" lacrosse school. Whatever school is chosen is the right one for that player and family. Get over yourselves people. Be happy that a young lady is getting a discounted education at HER choice of schools!

This race to commit is a nasty cycle for Mommy and Daddy to say "look how great we are as parents" These girls have just started high school, how the frig can they know what they want to be when they grow up? and what school is the best fit for them? I see daily "commits" on twitter and on here but they are all verbals. Let these kids enjoy high school before rushing them to college. There is no wonder why these kids are under so much pressure. Yes my kid plays, yes she hopes to play in college but right now we are focused on high school, and if that means that she "misses out" on an opportunity then it wasn't the right opportunity for her anyway

lets all be honest though. We are all proud of our daughters when they commit to the school of THEIR choice. However, certain groups (mostly y2k) take it to another level that exposes them as narcissistic assessments, and turn the commit process into a contest, which is the absolute wrong approach. Be happy for your kid and others, brag a little, but don't belittle. Its not a contest...yj turds

The bottom half of A is starting to "commit" to D3. You don't need YJ for these "commits", which by the way, you don't even "commit" to D3.

where do you guys see this information about recruits by schools at the 202 age group?

there is no source. Just word of mouth. Toplaxrecruits.com will have some of them, but it's self-reported and only a few do that. Other than that, u could go to club websites and most list them there.

Lets be honest.

Every club, in any state will have at least a couple of girls that get recruited to top schools. These will be the best athletes and would have succeeded in any sport, and to those girls we say congratulations. These young woman are from Colorado, California, Texas etc..., but that by no means make the clubs they come from as competitive as clubs from Long Island, or Maryland. All that means is that some naturally athletic girls picked up a stick and put in hours and hours against a wall.

In the case of Mass Elite I see a club that has been around for a while, in a state where Lax is finally starting to catch on, and is finally being able to put together a single year of girls that are fairly competitive, and to those girls that get recruited to any scholl we say congratulations, welcome to the club. But that in no means makes you a top tier club in line with Long Island and Maryland.

I have been involved with lax for decades of my life with both boys and girls, and have seen at least a hundred girls clubs evolve in that time, some peak and than struggle, some slowly grow to become powerhouses. I have seen Mass Elite in more than a few tournaments and have watched them evolve from a fustrated club that can't hang with L.I. teams, causing them to turn to thuggery to keep up, to a team that is finally starting to figure it out. But make no mistake you are a teen playing in an adult world, and that is a best case scenario.

Yes, you have some naturally talented players within your club, but the proof of how good a club, or an entire region, is in any sport, is how well roll players do. Every region will have there big scorers succeed, and that is what is happening at M.E. causing the parents up in Mass. to think something that is not true. The roll players on L.I. and in Md. are almost as good as you top tier players in every other region, and that is why you will continue to struggle against us.

Remember one simple fact about L.I. and Md., Lacrosse is like a religion in these places. If you walk down any residential street or go to any high school or sports field you will see lacrosse cages in use in December and January, it is non stop in these places. we love this game. Now some day you might catch up, or even surpass us, but that day is not today

My kids will all commit to good schools when they decide to and the funny thing is two of them don't even play lacrosse so why do so many here talk about college commitments so much?
Is the game of lacrosse the only way to get into college?

Maybe because they "get it" and understand lacrosse ends after college. Maybe because she wants a cap of $20k a year and not a $50k school with a $10k in athletic money, maybe because she fell in love with the campus or her major, maybe its because they play really good lacrosse and she has a chance to win a D3 national championship, maybe its because she actually wants to have a life at college and not work full time on her lacrosse 5-6 hours a day. Maybe its because they don't believe the hype and understand that a top D2 or D3 scholl will beat the bottom 25% of D1 schools every time.

There is a place for everyone. Good for anyone who gets to play at the next level

Well said and I agree. Not everyone thinks like yj people do. Their self-worth is tied to which school Little Bee goes to play lacrosse, which is really sad and a major sign of insecurity. I say kudos to the young lady for (seemingly) making HER choice for HER reasons, and not listening to all of the possible peer pressure.

How does one "commit" to a D3 school??

Is the game of lacrosse the only way to get into college?

You're on a lacrosse forum - for people to talk about lacrosse.

Don't be an [lacrosse]. You think every YJ commit gets money to their D1 or D2 school? The answer is no. And when you get deep enough into the process the club websites just post where the kids are going to school whether they play of not.

D3 commit is simple, yes its bogus, yes there is no money but they offer up a roster spot eliminating the uncertainty of having to get through a tryout. If you pick the school, you are on the team.

D3 has actual commits. they are legit D3 fills its recruiting classes like anyone else although no NLI is involved.
The thing gets muddled when some parents or kids puts into a website as a commitment when their kid simply decides to apply to schools. mixes in with actual recruits.
clever .

Not being an [lacrosse], but let's not try and dress things up that aren't. There is a no shame in D3, I am a former D3 athlete.

But this is how it works unless things have changed a lot.

"Hello Coach I have decided to go to Faber College."

"Hey Suzy that is great!"

"I am sending in my application this weekend."

(If you are lucky.) "I can get your application fee waved for you."

"That is great that should save my parents a few dollars."

"I will call the admissions office and see what I can do. I can't promise much but I do have a little pull."

"That would be great! My SAT was a little lower than I had hoped."

"Well Suzy l will try and keep tabs on your application and do the best I can do. Make sure your parents get all their financial aid paper work in."

"Ok I will! I hope I get in."

"Me to. Look forward to you playing with us!"

The coach can say there will be no "try-out" but there is nothing holding the coach to the players spot on the team. I see this D3 "Signing Day" thing a lot.

A D3 Committing in anything less than a player's senior year is nothing more than a "Hey coach I would LIKE to play for you when I graduate HS." The coach was little power to promise anything.

Again not trying to be an [lacrosse], but I think the D3 commitment stuff is bad/mis information to people.

Even if D1/D2 do not offer much to most girls, a COMMITMENT is still a real thing in d1 d2. In D3 it is not.

yea that's not the way it is . perhaps when you went it was like that.

I might be out of the loop little but let me know how it is different today. What can a D3 coach school do more than that?

What is a coach offering a potential athlete for a D3 school?

I would love to know what Coach Kelly Lickert-Orr at SUNY Cortland is offering to students to "commit" to play at Cortland before her senior year.

It's changed. No longer that simple, it is a true "commitment" now.

Do you sign a paper? What and when is the commitment? What are commuting too?

out of the loop and a miserable cow. what is your goal here to demean girls who are recruited by and committing to D3 schools? what is your agenda?

Do you really think Cortland, Trinity and Salisbury just have girls show up every year and tryout and miraculously they are competing for a national championship? Really? You can call it what you want but these girls are recruited and the roster is probably 75% locked up before the first day of summer tryouts. A lot more big games at these schools than low level D1

Sorry, I did not want to demean anyone or child. D3 sports are great. I was able to go to school, have a social life, play very competitive sports, There is a no binding "letter of intent" signed like the D2 and D1 players sign. Get recruited, apply to school, pay tuition with no athletic money, and work hard and play. It is the same as it was 20 years ago, D3 rules have not changed.

I do not want to offend anyone I just think the thought process of committing to D3 in 9th grade is silly. Sorry.

Of course those schools recruit and build programs. D3 has been recruiting for 40 years. Saying you "committed" for D3 is what is new. 20, 10, 5 years ago athletes didn't "commit" to play at D3 schools. That is something D1 D2 players do because those athletes sign a letter of intent to "commit" to play at those schools and it was binding. The rules of D3 have not changes. There is nothing binding to play D3.

you are mixing rules with the recruiting comment now. you are fumbling all over the place.
as previous poster said they ARE recruited. why do you think they have prospect camps, or attend high school summer lacrosse games?

D3 coaches watched my daughter in 10th grade and they all said the same thing "if you are interested, D3 has a lot to offer you and we have a roster spot for you. Now the "we have a lot to offer you" was based on the competition and quality of D3 life socially. That's being recruited in my book. We gave a verbal and her high school made a big deal about it when she was a senior. She was thrilled, school was excited only A**hole travel parents tried ruining it.

Can any of the experts here comment on the NCAA proposed change to the recruiting calendar and its potential impact on 2020s?

What is the current status of the proposed change?

Thank you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but every commitment being announced right now is "verbal" or "to the admissions process." Nothing is written in stone and it can all change depending on the athlete's academic/athletic performance, change of coaching staff at the college, and so on. We all hope that if a commitment is announced in public that a coach will honor it, but there are plenty of de-commitments and re-commitments each year. More importantly, no one is guaranteed to get into their college of choice, even recruited athletes.

So, if a player wants to announce their commitment to a D3 program, how is it any less legitimate than a D1 commitment? Let's agree to let them all enjoy their accomplishments.

No changes will happen, coaches talk out of their asses when they say they want it.

The rule is going to pass. Will go into effect 9/1/2017. Can't talk to student athlete until beginning of junior hear. It will mean nothing for 2019 as they can talk to coaches beginning next fall any way. The 2020 will have to wait a year. That is why you will see a ton of 2020 commit this summer.

However I Just saw where IWLCA is adding an 2021 division as a "developmental division" at their events going forward. While I guess we now know who is at fault of early recruiting. The same ones that are trying to make rules against it. What a joke.

I would think those coaches at great academic schools should concentrate on winning(in classroom, in life and on the field)versus writing rules before they get fired. Please don't say these specific coaches don't recruit early so that is why they don't win. They are as guilty as the rest. There is no money in Women's lax, so it should be easy to recruit the best if your a good coach and know how to recruit to these premium schools.

No excuses for them going forward.

Won't pass, you'll see!

In my opinion, the recruiting proposal doesn't solve the early recruiting problem because it leaves a huge loophole. No emails, phone calls, unofficial visits or contact until 9/1 junior year EXCEPT for the ability to talk to coaches on campus while attending a camp/clinic.
Open up your wallets lax families, because if this passes we will all have to shell out lots of dough to get our kids to every college-run camp/clinic we can find. Really not fair to families who don't have a ton of cash lying around.
I hope that the proposal either doesn't pass or is modified to close all the loopholes.

Get a tutor! All the club girls my daughter hangs with are C students! Clinics practices camps privates leagues travel and zero time for schoolwork. Those who say get the grades are RIGHT!!!!!

Since this is a recruiting year for 2020 can someone post a list of the top 5 tournaments girls travel clubs should be sending them too

Makes me think it will pass, with the loophole and full support of the coaches. It is always about the money. Everything. So in this case it frees up some of the coaches time and fattens their wallets with the money from camps. Seems like a win - win for college coaches.

It won't pass. Guarantee it. The coaches aren't the ones that vote on it, the school administrations are. They aren't going to approve these rule changes that will cost more money to monitor compliance for a sport that doesn't make the schools money. It will never happen.

any chance they can be both great students and great lacrosse players? Some kids achieve great things in AND out of the classroom.

Everyone on here has a great lacrosse player haven't you been paying attention?

How many lacrosse dads can name just one teacher that their daughter has, probably not many.

Many people need a reality check.

I am a academic first dad. Does anyone know the percentage of academic versus athletic schlorships that are given at universities? (Not counting financial aid).
It would be interesting.

In today's market of a kid was to get a 100 percent scholarship, say at a school that cost 50k....you would have to make 300k to pay for that after taxes if you were making a decent living...

That is a ton of cash.

Families should be looking for both. My daughter will be going to a mid level (between 25-50) d1 school next year. She was (I imagine) one of their top recruits as she received substantial athletic money (close to 50% of the total cost). She also got some academic money. We'll be paying very close to in-state university prices at a private university with an very good academic reputation.

Maybe I'm not academic enough like you, but I have no idea what you're trying to say. You have to make 300K per year to pay for a 50K scholarship??

It's called a 529, start one when your kid is born, starting to save for college when your kid is 17 probably isn't the way to go

2 percent of varsity athletes get athletic money in college. Although not all kids get academic money 100 percent have a chance at it depending on the schools they choose

no he is saying that if you get 50k/yr for 4 years thats 200k. Pretax you would have to earn 300k at a 33% tax rate to pay for the 200k college tuition. so it's like getting 300k in earnings pre-tax.

So college is expensive. Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone know how long it typically takes a coach to give an offer?
My daughter was invited by an assistant coach at a top 15 school to his december camp

it can be offered that day..

My 2016 daughter visited her first school during August 2013 (summer after sophomore year). She visited seven more schools over the next 10 months. She then received her first offer in late June 2014, then her next one less than a week later. She accepted the second schools offer because it was her favorite and also the first school she visited. We've heard of some girls getting offers on a first visit but I doubt this is typical. Most stories we've heard involved a months long courtship with several schools. Good luck and choose wisely.

Most likely the first step in the courting process but it could after camp. They want to get a look her at camp most likely with current commits and other prospects. See how she's plays with different kids etc. Give you an intro to school, where they are at with recruits for grades, maybe tell you please reach out if you get offers/interest from other schools. Depends how hungry they are , what type of player she is . Some will tell you we will not commit a freshman. Most of the schools want to watch a few more times at tourneys in summer. If she's really interested in the school get back there for a summer camp. Advice: make sure she plays team ball at the camp. The individual gig is up. Good luck

Being invited to a camp will not result in an immediate offer. They will take a closer look, then maybe ask for a visit, or maybe not

I think this is a good question, my daughter was invited by an assistant coach to a top schools 5 v 5 clinic as well earlier in december. She didn't go because of a conflict, but we wondered if the invite went to everyone. Our club team said other girls did not get the same invite. She was then invited to come back next month. Do they talk to girls at these events?

Thanks! My daughter played really well at the camp, and at the end of the camp the coach said specifically to her that we will hear from him, so we really don't know!

Being invited to camp doesn't necessarily mean an offer is forthcoming. I'd be cautiously optimistic, but don't count on anything.

Most of the time these email invites are generated from lists and pumped out so,don't get too excited. Usually if they are really interested in looking they will contact herthrough club coach and she will follow up through club contact. But if it's a school she's interested it's definetely a,good time to go a camp at the school. Have club coach let them know your attending. My daughter is 2019 and went a camp in Fall of last year and they liked her and started the process of calls, visits etc. and we followed that process for several schools of interest . Ironically she ended up,committing to a school she never went to camp at!

My 2016 daughter visited her first school during August 2013 (summer after sophomore year). She visited seven more schools over the next 10 months. She then received her first offer in late June 2014, then her next one less than a week later. She accepted the second schools offer because it was her favorite and also the first school she visited. We've heard of some girls getting offers on a first visit but I doubt this is typical. Most stories we've heard involved a months long courtship with several schools. Good luck and choose wisely.

my daughter was offered by every school she visited on the spot, they offered because they saw that they were competing with the other schools.

Oh that's great for her! Thanks.
The invite for my 2020 was through the coach. our club coach just got their feedback that they are interested but want to see my daughter get i guess thicker, more muscular and will come see her at her tournaments this summer. My daughter is very strong but very thin!

It's funny that you mention offers "on the spot" because of the eight schools my daughter visited, probably three or four actually said that they could tell she wasn't ready to commit yet so they were reserving her offer for later. I think she could've had more offers "on the spot" but she wasn't willing to just jump at the first offer she had. She's a really good player and we knew she would have multiple offers and choices, which she did. Our club director was 'spot on' about how to handle the process and we are very thankful to her and her husband. She's been a D1 and D2 college coach, college club team coach, and a IAAM coach, so she knows the process from all three views. So, the take away here is, for those in the middle of the recruiting frenzy, that college coaches can sense when a player is ready to commit or listen to an offer and when they're not, and still shopping. After a year of visits, my kid was ready to make a choice and luckily she had options to choose from. Like I said above, good luck and choose widely.

Every situation is different.

Thanks everyone! This is all new to us.

how many times do people have to say that the camps are fundraisers and the invites come from master email lists that are exchanged regularly by asst.coaches?

new to you but you identify school as top 15? please ...you are not some innocent babe in the woods mom. stop the coquettish approach , it's phony.

I'm not phony you [lacrosse]! it's not like I have 3 other kids recruited to play sports in college, they got in the regular way, with their grades! I was just asking advice. You must be from long island i guess....

Because they are loaded in our inbox ! 80% are a fishing expedition . The others we know there was interest , have been engaged with etc...

You get invited to camps because 1. they are trying to make money which is probably 90+ present or more and then 2. maybe 10% that actually might like your daughter. Most college coaches are working for 40-60k a year. They need the camps to supplement their pay.

Did you even read the above? Ther person said the club coach also received a call from the school expressing inetrest and wanting the girl to go to the camp. This is quite different than just getting a blast email. Obviously doesn't guarantee an offer, but if it is a school your daughter is inetrested and the coaches called your club coach to express interest, you go to the camp. They will be watching you more closely. Of course these camps are money-makers, everyone knows that. But they obviously evaluate girls they care most about and have already identified before the camp as on their recruting board, plus your daughter gets to see the campus and get to know the coaches better which is very valuable if she is offered down the line.

Once you get outside the top 10 schools Lax coaches get paid almost nothing. Camps are a scam to pad their bank accounts. They are just like club directors who peddle snack oil just to make a buck

this answer seems most likely. We all get emails inviting our kids to a school's camp/clinic, but the ones that come as an invite through the club's director are personal. They are from the coaches directly, and say that they've seen your daughter play, they want to know where they are at in the process and they mean a little more that those generic blasts. No guarantees, but as our club director said the first time we got one, they already like you at that point, just want to look a little closer.

Scroll down to the bottom of the email and if there is an option to unsubscribe from future emails then it's just a mass email that goes to 100s of girls. You can tell the difference between those and ones sent directly from a coach

Another small clue that the coach is possibly interested in the player, like is stated above, is to scroll down to the coaches contact information. If their cell phone number is included it's a good sign that they are interested. If it's a mass email, it will just have the office phone number and address.

I agree with all of the above. My daughter did receive at least one initial contact email about a prospect clinic that was sent through the team's website system, so there was an unsubscribe link at the bottom. The coach included a cell phone, though, and it did not read like a mass email. As soon as my daughter replied expressing interest in the clinic, the coach reached out to my daughter's coach to set up a call.

We've found college prospect clinics to be really helpful, particularly when my daughter was already on that school's radar. A couple have included a tour open to all players attending, and one she recently attended included a tour with coaches and current players for only a small group of top recruits - well worth the $100 or so we paid for the clinic. The only camp my daughter thought was somewhat of a money grab was hosted by a top program that brings in a lot of college coaches, but the number of campers is very large and not much time was spent working with each coach. I think there are a lot of "money grab" camps and showcases out there, but for the most part we haven't found the college camps/clinics to fall into that category. Not every attending player will generate interest from coaches, however.

Go to the camps that they specifically asked you to come through your club coach. Other than that, waste.

You really have to do your work and cut through the BS. 90% of kids at all these camps are just there because their parents are trying to make the kids relevant and these coaches need the CASH. It is absolutely a money grab unless there was a personal invite and the process with the coach was already started. Now are there a few lottery ticket players that show up and catch a coaches eye who wasn't on the radar screen? Sure. But those kids are in the extreme minority

That's not true. My kid went to several camps " to take a shot" and got dialogue and opportunities at least half of them. We told our club coach in advance to let them know she was attending. It depends on how you show and play at them. All I can is be realistic and size your kid up against the competition during the tourney season. Then decide yes maybe my kid has a shot to impress and then it comes down to how hard they want to work for it.

On average 1-3 kids from most HS teams will get an athletic offer. Good luck!

That's a totally skewed view of reality. Yes, on the average of all the teams in the United States that may be true. But it is not the case for IAAM schools or schools on LI.

Those number hold at our LI HS on both the boys and girls side over the last 4 or 5 years. A few more go to D3 but a couple every year get a few bucks

Not the case with lacrosse on Long Island when talking about "Lacrosse Towns". Schools like Garden City, Manhasset. Syosset, Cold Spring Harbor, Ward Melville, Smithtown etc.. plus St. Anthony's and Chaminade and a hand full of others. These schools have a lot more than 1-3 DI Lacrosse commits,

Currently in our district in grades 10 - 12 there are at least 29 DI commits.
(14 Boys and 15 Girls) I am sure that there will be a few more by the end of the school year.

The younger kids know this and they look up the these players and work hard in the classroom and on the field.

10 per year? Is it boys and girls combined? That would be 5 per team a year that's very good.

Between the boys and the girls I think Ward Melville actually has 30 players committed to DI schools in grades 10 - 12. By end of the school year they may have a few more. Add to that the DII and DIII players and there could be another 15 plus kids going on to play in college from those three grades. The 2020 will start to commit soon. Thats a lot of kids with great opportunities.
Don't let the negative people influence you or your children. If your kids love competing then have them work hard and their future will be bright in the classroom, on the field and in life.

Enjoy the ride.

My daughter is at a school ranked between 50-75 and she is spending 2x more time with the team then on her classes and that was technically in the in Falls offseason. BTW for this her award was $4,250

If she's enjoying it and maintaining her grades - Great. If not, might be time to move on.

Hi newer to lax parent with a 2021. We live in NJ/PA area. We are NOT in a hotbed area, but on A team of viable club. Looking for info on Showcases. I asked in the 2021 thread but too much bickering to notice my question. Particularly what showcases are worth it - we are not recruiting yet but getting feet wet. Also looking at participation as a way to have 1:1 against some great competition. NXT Summer Showcase, FL$, Brine, UA tryouts, Super Saturday Winter Blitz by Sinc Sports, etc. are these all money grabs ? Are any necessary ? ANY insight/opinions/wisdom very much appreciated.

As far as individual player showcase events (non team entry) UA reginal tryouts would be good to get on, not sure about that new UA150 yet. Best bet for those combine type things would be NIke Elite 120 by far. Brine is not very good. Some of these thing however are by invite or selection, and I believe some of the deadlines have past, but some still available. Good luck.

Don't stress, Keep those grades up and there will be tons of opportunities as long as your daughter can run throw and catch. The ROI is terrible for lacrosse. Getting 10K to a 60K school is a joke. Good grades are always the ticket. Enjoy the sport but don't let it control your life.

I second that motion.

We found Brine was not worth the money (in our opinion).

Based on my daughter's experience so far (she's a 2020), showcase events are not necessary. We are not at all in a hotbed area, as in a two hour flight from Baltimore. Her club does travel to some summer and fall recruiting tournaments in the Northeast which helps the girls get some exposure for recruiting, but we can't get to as many as teams from the NE. This fall my daughter's team played clubs from NJ, PA, LI and DC area - good teams that do place girls in top college programs, but not the same caliber as YJ Blue and M&D Black - and still there were a lot of coaches from top programs on the sidelines. Some programs that my daughter emailed before the tournament watched her play and reached out to her coach afterwards, and some programs that she had not contacted reached out. Some girls will not generate any or much interest in 9th grade, but will in 10th grade.

Based on the events you asked about, I am only somewhat familiar with Brine and UA. Brine is considered lower tier even where we live. Girls from the top club and high school teams usually do not bother trying out. UA draws stronger players, and maybe is worth trying out for if your region is known for having college coaches at tryouts. We have heard Elite 120 is worthwhile and draws a lot of college coaches, so we registered for that one (this was back in October - it may be too late to get invited for 2017, but you can check with your club about nominations).

Look into Maximum Exposure camp. My daughter went this past summer and really enjoyed it. She only got on the radar of a couple of coaches while there, but she had a lot of fun and it provided her with an idea of how she stacked up against good players from well known clubs. It is a 4 day, 3 night resident camp that is equivalent in cost to some two day showcases that do not include meals or housing. I've also heard good things about Triple Threat camp in VA, but have no personal experience.

Good luck to your daughter and try to have fun with the process. We took the approach of first helping our daughter identify schools with good academics and size/surrounding area that she prefers - someplace we would consider to be an appealing option even in absence of lacrosse. Then she began reaching out to those schools this past summer and fall. A few clubs (one especially that I'm aware of) seem to push starting this process in 8th grade, but we have no regrets waiting until middle school ended. Some 2020s have committed, but there are still a lot of spots left to be filled.

Yes, that is what it is all about. More people should realize that.

Anybody have a list of divivion 1 January / February 5 v 5 or 7 v 7 clicics for high school players? If not where can I find some. Thanks

It's over the season starts in February, so I doubt any programs will try to run tourneys or clinics anytime soon

BC has one on JAN 22 but I believe it's booked, but there maybe a wait list. Great clinic , fun 3v3 tourney, beautiful school in a perfect spot.

The BC JAN event is a money grab. If you do not receive a personal Invite through your club coach, you are just a number. The targeted 2020 and 2021 players, and they are definitely given advance billing (and I might add, most are worthy of the advance hype) are all put together and get all the attention. With the huge number of attendees it is Virtually impossible to get "noticed" or a fair look if you are not on their radar already.

Coaches are raking it in!

Totally agree on that assessment ! $ grab if not on list .

What large camp is not a money grab. UNC, Syracuse and Duke have 250+ kids at their camps and they mostly scrimmage for 3 days. That equates to about $125,000 per camp. UNC holds at least 3 camps per year - it is all about $$. BC is a full day - 2 hour clinic followed by about 5-6 hours of 3v3 play. With only 150 kids there a very good player has a good chance of getting noticed. That being said, there is always a list of kids the coach is watching closely at every camp.

Saw BC first hand a couple of years ago. 150 kids cramped on one field inside a bubble. At least the other camps have lots of other schools coaches there and adequate space. Slim to none if your not on the radar. If your club coach has any relationship with the staff of a particular school and they are comfortable with your kids play. Ask them to give the staff a heads up your kid will be there and if they can keep an eye out. It worked in our case. Anything to increase your chances of catching there eyes for a bit.

With the huge number of attendees it is Virtually impossible to get "noticed" or a fair look if you are not on their radar already.

Coaches are raking it in!

would that be pretty much the same across the board? My daughter was reached out to by a top program after fall tourneys (through our club director) once about attending a camp in December (which she didn't attend), and then most recently to be put on a house team of recruits/prospects in a 5 v 5 or 7 v 7 one day thing. Weren't sure if this was just a money grab or kicking the tires. decided since the coach emailed a second time it was our turn to kick the tires. Guess we will find out. somewhat hopeful

That's good start. They want to see how she's play with commits and other prospects . If it's a school,she's interested in do it!

Correct me if I am wrong, the invites went out, all you had to do was accept. If you accepted back when they were due, you are in.

We are talking about the UnderArmour 150.

There was an application process that closed on December 1, 2016.

Apparently "over 900" applications for 2021 and 2020 were received.

They will select the top 150 for each class. Sounds like invites are emailed tonight at 8 p.m.

Good luck to all the girls (and their parents).

Unbelievable 900 people begging for a spot that is mostly political. So sad. Just another example of money, power and politics ruining this once great sport

This does not include any committed kids - correct?

We sent a short video but most of it was from home footage that was kind of grainy and unfocused at times but was mostly 1v1, -and we did have one pro film but that was from my daughter playing up and in a different position than she applied for. I figured that even a few good clips would show she has excellent stick skills and her strength on 1v1, at the least.

Don't get too excited it's not that good an event ? Did you see the list of schools last year? It's a B level event. Elite120 is the real deal. Look at that list. Scoop an invite up from there and watch what happens

That is a joke, right? They select 150 players. The "Top" has nothing to do with it. There is no tryout.

Results are up, you can log int the website and see if your daughter made it.

Did she get selected? I wish we could see if those who sent video did better in getting selected.

Yes, she was accepted. I am also curious re: video - I really debated not submitting due to the poor quality and my crappy edits.

On the YJ 20's did the top 2 teams get much stronger or were the roster changes just window dressing?

Political appointees

Could this affect our girls verbaling right now?

Lane Kiffin is just the latest coach to pull a verbal scholarship offer hiding behind a coaching change. This year in college football and basketball a record number of scholarships are not being honored. The two issues everyone is citing is change in coaching and that the players were recruited at too early of an age and things have changed.

Will lacrosse be next? If the big do it there should be concern that that the minor sports will follow.

Maybe the B team got stronger .

Verbal commits are worth nothing, they are in their own right to not follow up with the scholorship.

Are the " top blue teams" really just A and B or did they move weaker players down and better players up?

The majority of commits are in fact honored by both the players and the coaches. Scholarship offers are also honored in the large majority of cases.

It is the exception not the rule when a commitment is broken.

He understated it. 99 percent of verbals are honored by the college in women's lacrosse , yes the athletes decommitt more often. Tell us the programs that are not honoring their commitments , you can't . Stop being such a loser because schools have no interest in your kid , maybe they would if more programs did not take their commitments so seriously.

Actually happening in many sports ...

you are a punk. "kid is a pot head " ok weasel.....
are you that much of a miserable cow that you would subtlety try and sabotage the kids spot?

Not the original poster but isn't it the kid that's smoking the pot the one that is sabotaging her own spot. It's always everyone else's fault. This society is going crazy.

"My daughter has no shot of playing college lacrosse, so I'm going to call other kids that are getting recruited pot heads."

agreed...[lacrosse] comment by every stretch....you, my dbag friend are the "strange thing" happening in this sport

point is that the jealous mommy has to disparage the commit with innuendo. I am sure that they somehow got word to the potential college coach.

Funny you should say that, same situation happening over at St.A's with one of the commits to a top program. take your pick between suspension and grades or both, not the way a commit should set an example especially at that age. Let's see how this plays out.

Are you under the impression that someone other than a bunch of middle age hacks with red cups in their hands is in here trying to decipher anonymous rants and name calling???

Maybe you should put down the bong as well..

Politics. Welcome to them.

Your saying a top 10 level program would make this kind of commitment to a 14 year old just based on politics?? How does that work??

Oh let me guess you are from STEPS? Your jealousy should be very embarrassing to you. Doesn;t matter what you think, matters what the school/coaches see. Somehow parents always think they no better and the excuse is always politics. Also, to call a freshman girls a pothead you should be ashamed of yourself. Go back under your rock and if you want your daughter recruited tell her to play better.

Have no idea who you people are talking about and it is a little gross that you are knocking 14 year old kids but even funnier is that none of the angry people deny the kid is a pot head. If you think these coaches actually practice the nonsense they tell you I have a bridge for sale. "we recruit families not just players", "we are looking for kids that are not only great players but great kids " blah blah. If they think your kid can help them win then welcome to the program.

I think the poster who called her a jealous mom. nailed it.

You're a regular Columbo there guy! Probably complete with the creepy raincoat.. Now have a toke and relax..

As a parent of several kids who played D1 sports, I can assure you there are potheads on teams, as well as users of other substances from Adderall to I don't even know. The team knows, and depending on how stringent the testing is, the coaches eventually know. I know two kids, two different schools, who played with my kids who were booted for failing drug tests. Would a recruiter see this or know this? Certainly not.

So is there a HS pothead? Probably. No sense in dancing around that; it's not name-calling if it's true. She either cleans up her act or she will quit or get kicked off a team. In my HS, there was a star the coach loved but she loved drugs better and that's what she chose. Very sad.

you are everything that is bad about the sport. Completely jealous of everyone else rather than happy for them. And post anonymously that one of the 14-year old kids is a pothead on a lax message board. I hope Shoulberg cuts your daughter from STEPS, would serve you right.

and not the drugs, or the alcohol, or the fact that the Love girl down in Charlottesville is no longer here. no no its some parent trying to discuss things- that's the real problem in Lacrosse. come one snowflake don't have such thin skin

The worse thing in the sport to me is the sportsmanship. Parents red faced screaming at the ref for a bad call. How about the parent screaming at someone else's daughter because she didn't pass to your daughter who was so wide open. or lost the ball worse yet.. your that guy right?

Most travel lacrosse parents suck that's why we are all hated especially at school games. The previous posts play right in to the hatred.

Amen. Sign us up!

To change the subject a little, my 2020 daughter visited a few schools December and January. The visits were real visits, requested by schools. The visits were anywhere between 4-8 hours and went well, but to date there haven't been any offers. When I look at the schools she visited most of them are still filling out their 2019 rosters, and the schools did mention they would get back to us when they sorted out their recruits. Each school Said she was high on their list, but I know they'll say things like that anyway. I know that if she was the #1 or #2 choice obviously she'd have gotten a response, but typically how long before schools come back, or is it most likely something that will need to be revisited in the spring? Please try to answer question without sarcasm, I'm just trying to get a feel for the process. Thanks

Ask more questions next time , things like " where am I on your recruiting list" etc so you know better where you stand.Not sure if you play for a club but would not hurt to have your club coach/director reach out and see what they are thinking.

For the school that my daughter ultimately chose, it was a year. They were the first to request a visit, with seven schools visited in the middle, then a year later, they were the last. Be patient.

Very important to attend the Clinics for the specific schools your daughter is most interested in and has already visited.
She learns more and the coaches get to see more.
Hold tight, is my best advice. Looks good for her that she will play this sport in college if that is her goal...With that, now take the space and a little time to let her mind and things evolve and that is how she will end up in the right place for her future.

I know that if she was the #1 or #2 choice obviously she'd have gotten a response, but typically how long before schools come back, or is it most likely something that will need to be revisited in the spring? Please try to answer question without sarcasm, I'm just trying to get a feel for the process. Thanks

Ask more questions next time , things like " where am I on your recruiting list" etc so you know better where you stand.Not sure if you play for a club but would not hurt to have your club coach/director reach out and see what they are thinking.

For the school that my daughter ultimately chose, it was a year. They were the first to request a visit, with seven schools visited in the middle, then a year later, they were the last. Be patient.

My daughter is a 2020 also. We visited about 6 schools. Her top 3 picks and a few in her next "group". Several made offers on 2nd visits and a few said they wanted to see her play in the spring, but they said she was at the top of their list. Ultimately she picked a school that she really wanted & they really wanted her. In the end she will know when it's the right for her and you will know if it fits your budget. Good luck!

If your daughter is interested in these schools, she should be emailing them regularly to stay in touch and show interest if she is not already doing so. She can always request a call to ask the coaches where she stands with them, and find out where the program is with their 2020 class. A coach or club recruiting director can help with that.

My daughter started having calls, scheduling some visits, etc. at the end of the summer before 9th grade. The process varied for each school. With one school, the timeline was 6 months from first contact, prospect day, coach seeing her play, second visit which then ended in an offer. Another school was quicker and ready to make an offer after a two day visit because they knew other schools were about to offer.

Hope that helps...there is still a lot of time left for 2020s at most schools, and even the top ranked schools will probably add a few 2020s during the summer.

All programs are varied in timelines. Some will say I will never recruit a freshman , some will take their time , some will move in fast . Quite frankly mine starters get hits in late summer going into freshman year and we were glad they weren't in a rush. We wanted to see what else came down the pike. Unless it's the school of her dreams or close hang tight and see what develops. Your making a decision of a lifetime for a 15 year old. It's a fun time!

Recruitment of athletes is just like admissions for regular kids. The 90 gpa student waits for an answer while the school hopes that they find a 98 gpa'er to take their spot. For most of our kids who are very good players you will learn you have to be patient. Stay in the coaches face. If you are realistic it usually works out. Remember its a business for these coaches. They are all trying to win to keep their jobs. They are hoping the next Shannon falls into their lap if she doesn't, then our kids have a chance.

The flip side to this is parents that jump at the first offer. History shows that isn't good either

Slow offers often means the coach is waiting for a potential better athlete or better fit. Same thing applies to kids who don't play a sport. They could be denied early admission and the school could wait for a potential smarter kid. If a smarter kid or a better athlete doesn't come along both get in. If academics are your thing you usually get in day 1 with a 105 average. If lax is your thing and your kid is Shannon 2.0 you get an immediate offer. most kids don't fall into either of those categories so they wait on pins and needles

nice to see helpful information posted on this forum for once. Everyone's experience will be different with recruitment, it's nice to hear how other girls were approached, and how the process is going. A lot of kids and parents feel this is a race, but if you're daughter is in 9th grade like mine is now there's no hurry.

But there is a rush. The scholarships are what they are and once the money is all doled out your daughter could become one of the kids who "commits" with no athletic offer. Don't think that every kid listed as committed to schools on the travel clubs websites actually get money. Those lists are just where the kids ultimately decide to go. Just like D3 kids committing. All it means is they have an offer or agreement with the coach that they have a roster spot and not a tryout. Not every kid gets money especially as rosters continue to expand

The money in most cases is pretty small anyway. The big payoff is your kid getting into a better academic institution than they otherwise could. Do you want your kid going to Duke w no money, or Adelphi w 5-10k?

Was there a question about scholarship money? Who said anything about every kid listed on a travel website getting an athletic scholarship? Why such a pessimistic attitude.

Well then why the [lacrosse] are we talking about 9th graders committing? 9th graders aren't verbaling for no cash. They are committing because there is a athletic financial offer extended. Give me a break.

"once the money is all doled out your daughter could become one of the kids who "commits" with no athletic offer." --- You make it sound like a disease. I'll take my kid getting no athletic money at a top 15 academic school over your Sally getting her 10k at Rocks for Jocks U.

You people talk with forked tongues. You parade your kid up and down the east coast since kindergarten but now when there aren't offers, it was about the experience and not getting a D1 scholarship.... ok

OK why don't u tell us about your amazing daughter. typical private tuition 40k. Typical lax scholarship 25%. R there 50%+ Yeah a few. Most no. So 10k typical, particularly when factoring in state school tuitions.

No, but fully funded programs have 12 scholarships (12.6 on the men's side) to divvy up between ~40 players.

many early commits are NOT getting money, but are willing to verbal just to get a seat at the school they want

We have been through the process a few times already. I have never heard of a 9th grader verbaling with no hope of cash. 11th graders yes, but not 8th and 9th graders. Does anyone know someone who has done this?

Which is great ... Kid/family that decides that no money at Stanford is better than money at a lesser academic school is making a smart decision.

BTW ... a Tewaaraton finalist last year had no athletic money ... Surprise!!

Go to the Topgun and YJ websites you will see that almost all of the 20 or so early commits are going to kick [lacrosse] schools or kick [lacrosse] programs. Good for them.

This is so true. I find it disgusting how parents pimp out their kids all summer, paying more then they will ever receive in athletic scholarship. It's all to stroke the parents ego.

That's just not realistic , these kids that are committing early are getting 50 percent of cost of attendance and more. Many are also using lax to get into schools they may not otherwise .

Syracuse is rostering 44 outstanding young ladies while only having 12 scholarships that's about .27 award on average could some get .5? maybe but chances are not as an 8th or 9th grader

What makes you think for 1/2 a second that all kids are getting equal amounts of scholarship money? "Top" kids get far more $ then "down the list" kids. If you think everyone is getting the same amount of money you're wrong. Some kids just want to be on a team and are happy to be there with no athletic money. It is definitely not equal.

True, Syracuse is NOT giving an 8th grader 50% sorry! Syracuse gives money to the girls who have earned starting positions on the team and re-evaluates scholarships each year.

Education, Education, Education, Education, Education, Education!

The "Slot" is extremely valuable.

Many of the best universities in the country also happen to field some of the best lacrosse programs in the the nation.

The 11 schools listed below are the only schools that have finished the season ranked in the Top 20 in each of the past five years. The number listed is the universities 2017 academic rank. Eight of the Top 20 Universities in the country also have Top 20 Lacrosse Programs.

1 - Princeton
8 - Penn
8 - Duke
12 - Northwestern
15 - Notre Dame
24 - University of Virginia
30 - University of North Carolina
50 - Penn State University
50 - University of Florida
60 - University of Maryland
60 - Syracuse University

In addition to the above:

10 - Johns Hopkins University
31 - Boston College

Have both finished the season ranked in the Top 20 four of the past five years.

5 - Stanford
20 - Georgetown

Each were ranked in the Top 20 in three of the past five years.

23 - Southern California

Will more than likely be a perennial Top 20 program.

It is about the education and the admissions slot, not simply the amount of the athletic scholarship.

That being said, with the exception of the IVY's the top recruits at these schools can receive significant athletic money. If you are not one of the top recruits you can still receive a decent athletic scholarship. Some of the Universities listed especially the IVY's have very strong need based aid packages.

Due to generous need based aid packages some girls may opt not to accept an athletic scholarship because they will receive more money in the form of need based aid.

Very good students can receive academic scholarships as well, especially if the choose to attend a slightly less competitive university.

The State Schools can make it very affordable for their in-state recruits.

The top recruits in the country do in fact receive significant athletic money. How do you know if you are a top recruit? Easy, take a look at the schools that are making offers, when they are making the offer and what the offer is. If a number of the schools listed are recruiting and offering when the student is in the 9th grade you are a top recruit.

Athletes who are not considered to be the top recruits in the country can still receive significant athletic money if they are the top recruit at the school they choose to commit to. For example, A player may be offered 70 - 75% by a particular school but that same player may not have had a single offer from UNC, MD, PSU, Syracuse, Penn, Princeton, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Duke, Virginia or Florida.

There is a lot more money out there than many people realize. However, for many players and their families it is about the education.

Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Cal - Berkley, University of Michigan, Army, Navy, William and Mary, Boston University, Lehigh, Villanova, Etc... All have programs and all have the ability to help with admissions.

Good luck to all, there is a fit for everyone. Enjoy the ride.

But there is a rush. The scholarships are what they are and once the money is all doled out your daughter could become one of the kids who "commits" with no athletic offer. Don't think that every kid listed as committed to schools on the travel clubs websites actually get money. Those lists are just where the kids ultimately decide to go. Just like D3 kids committing. All it means is they have an offer or agreement with the coach that they have a roster spot and not a tryout. Not every kid gets money especially as rosters continue to expand

The money in most cases is pretty small anyway. The big payoff is your kid getting into a better academic institution than they otherwise could. Do you want your kid going to Duke w no money, or Adelphi w 5-10k?

That's just not realistic , these kids that are committing early are getting 50 percent of cost of attendance and more. Many are also using lax to get into schools they may not otherwise .

Syracuse is rostering 44 outstanding young ladies while only having 12 scholarships that's about .27 award on average could some get .5? maybe but chances are not as an 8th or 9th grader

True, Syracuse is NOT giving an 8th grader 50% sorry! Syracuse gives money to the girls who have earned starting positions on the team and re-evaluates scholarships each year.

That's why you always get a few early commits going to No Name U, because those schools pony up bigger up front athletic award

Was there a question about scholarship money? Who said anything about every kid listed on a travel website getting an athletic scholarship? Why such a pessimistic attitude.

Well then why the [lacrosse] are we talking about 9th graders committing? 9th graders aren't verbaling for no cash. They are committing because there is a athletic financial offer extended. Give me a break.

Education, Education, Education, Education, Education, Education!

The "Slot" is extremely valuable.

Many of the best universities in the country also happen to field some of the best lacrosse programs in the the nation.

The 11 schools listed below are the only schools that have finished the season ranked in the Top 20 in each of the past five years. The number listed is the universities 2017 academic rank. Eight of the Top 20 Universities in the country also have Top 20 Lacrosse Programs.

1 - Princeton
8 - Penn
8 - Duke
12 - Northwestern
15 - Notre Dame
24 - University of Virginia
30 - University of North Carolina
50 - Penn State University
50 - University of Florida
60 - University of Maryland
60 - Syracuse University

In addition to the above:

10 - Johns Hopkins University
31 - Boston College

Have both finished the season ranked in the Top 20 four of the past five years.

5 - Stanford
20 - Georgetown

Each were ranked in the Top 20 in three of the past five years.

23 - Southern California

Will more than likely be a perennial Top 20 program.

It is about the education and the admissions slot, not simply the amount of the athletic scholarship.

That being said, with the exception of the IVY's the top recruits at these schools can receive significant athletic money. If you are not one of the top recruits you can still receive a decent athletic scholarship. Some of the Universities listed especially the IVY's have very strong need based aid packages.

Due to generous need based aid packages some girls may opt not to accept an athletic scholarship because they will receive more money in the form of need based aid.

Very good students can receive academic scholarships as well, especially if the choose to attend a slightly less competitive university.

The State Schools can make it very affordable for their in-state recruits.

Excellent post . There are a lot of excellent schools out there and everyone's situation i.e. Financial, Distance from home, future plans are different .

Bitter, jealous negative people will never get it, the best we can hope for is that they do not pass their pessimistic attitude on to their children.

Women's lacrosse at the college level can provide an awesome opportunity for your daughter.

Do not listen to the nay sayers who chirp about how there is very little athletic scholarship money or that at the DI level they own you and you can only major in basket weaving and you need a 95+ average and north of 1300 on the SAT to get into a school like Duke or that you will never see the field or that the only reason a 9th grade girl commits is so the parents can brag.

Maybe if some of the negative parents had a better attitude their daughters experience would be more rewarding and positive.

I'm confused, weren't people just posting that the early commits isn't about the money its about the school? Which led us to believe the money wasn't the driving force. Now new posts on here say there is tons of cash, the major of your choice and the school of your dreams. I can't keep up. Good luck to all

it can be any one of those things or all of them for a very select few - many are just using lax to get into schools they wouldn't have based only on academics.

So is going to a better college going to make a person better academicallly if they were average in high school or does a better academic college allow a bright person to live up to their fullest potential?

The challenge (although worth the risk for most) is to send a B student to an A+ school because they can play lacrosse. Then add in 5-6 hours a day all year for lax. Can the B student keep up? Maybe. Is the B student better off with a communications degree from an A+ school or and engineering degree from a C+ school with less lax commitment. Being the weakest academic student at some of these top schools is very daunting and some kids cant handle it. Other raise their game and soar. Lots of questions with no perfect answers. Good luck all

Have your daughter challenge herself, strive for excellence and do her best.

We re trying to guide ours to pursuing the degree of her dreams hopefully it fits with lax

Any "B" student won't succeed in engineering from any school.

College lax is a sharp 2 edged sword.....

We have given up too, so we are focusing on her going to cage. I like sports more than school anyway

Maybe there is a civilized group of parents in this age group who have nothing to complain about or prefer not to come on here and bash about their kids own teammates and friends. Don't take the bait 2020's. NOT being a thread on here speaks louder than anything!

Because the crazy parents got their kids to verbal before the deadline and everybody else is just enjoying the ride. Once the me firsters got theirs they calmed down.

Didn't a 2020 commit to Florida yesterday? How did that happen?

Why did Elevate 2020 send their A team to play B level competition at the New England Cup? Seriously, there were multiple D1 commits on that squad playing against girls who at best, ride the bench for the high school squad (at worse, start for the freshman or JV squad). They beat each of these B level teams by at least 16 goals. Pathetic effort to procure more highlight film for college recruiters.

That seems like a pretty established methodology for getting the D1 offers. Maybe Elevate has something going there. Why go to Maryland or Pennsylvania and get your butts beat on by the Maryland teams and chances are never get the ball to the attack end. That's probably how they have multiple D1 commits. Sounds like a good sound strategy.

Everybody plays down even the mighty YJ's but it usually happens more when they are younger

We watched Team Elevate demolish 2 teams. No way were they in their correct division. that's ridiculous. The coaches must know what they are watching!

You think that is a good strategy for recruiting? Hmmmmm. Elevate has 2 2020 recruits and YJ has 21 2020 recruits. Think about which strategy is working better!

You guys with your commits are insane. Just play the game. Keep reinforcing the fact that travel lax parents are the most self centered D-bags in the universe. Its girls lax. Except for a handful of players there is nobody that is lights out and that's why there are only really 10 good college teams. If your kid wants to play, they will be able to play. Don't believe the hype and the need to pad everyone's pockets

That confused me too...Elevate has multiple commits-- D1 commits too?....
is that true?

Regardless of the game's score or what level the competition was. Did anybody actually see the school coaches that were watching Team Elevate play??
Well I did, and it was Cornell, Dartmouth, Binghamton, Colorado and a few others. Who cares what level the tourney was and if they beat a YJ, Heroes or whomever!
Those are the schools you want watching you...not Maryland or UNC.

I agree with your overall point, but on what basis for Binghamton and Colorado over UNC? Better lacrosse and academics at UNC than both of those school.

Maryland has better lacrosse and academics than either of those schools also . It's not even close . They have no idea what they are talking about.

Elevate has 2 D1 commits - that's all. I wouldn't consider that a powerhouse. That club has been free falling for the last few years. They owner knows the club has dropped at all age levels and therefore doesn't put them up against decent competitiom at most levels.

The people that talk the most smack are the people with the over inflated me first egos that got their 8th grader to verbal or the people at the end of the bench. For us in the middle we don't give a rats [lacrosse] about either of you and just want to play lacrosse with people we like

I actually meant to write Columbia but Colorado was there as well.
Bottom line was that winning lacrosse was secondary to those parents as long as those colleges were watching.

That can' be true unless maybe it was accepted a long time ago and not announced. And that leads me to the question if it's just a verbal how do we know when it's agreed upon anyway? I mean if a 2020 walked into a camp and a coach made a deal last weekend but said they agreed back in February but never "announced" it who would know? Do they keep logs for "verbals." I see the lacrosserecruits website and I know of 20 girls that have committed that aren't on the web page so who really knows who's keeping tabs? I'm curious

Ok on Cornell and Dartmouth, but it was downhill after that.

Colorado has an 84.2% acceptance rate.

Colorado start admitting with 1000 SAT. In todays day in age that below average at best and why 82% of anyone that applies gets accepted.

Nice school, nice lacrosse, average academics.
Its essentially SUNY Albany of the west

It implies you should take this annoying discussion to the YJ forum where EVERYONE cares about the initials of YJ staff.

Lets stay on the yJ's just to [lacrosse] you off. How do the roster changes to Curcio and Jones look to be shaking out? Were the right decisions made or was it more political BS?

Thanks CSH

Big envelope

Can't have your 2 biggest stars on middie playing less than the other kids323

well daddy coach got his daughter back on curcio, and you had 2 girls who left 2 years ago come back without even trying out.. i would say politics and f&f played heavy in this..

not with one girl never coming off the field who thinks she is a middie... its a complete joke

Curcio had a big 1st tournament. Jones lost to a philly team
At national Draw Curcio undefeated again and Jones had a loss
Both played a few terrible teams winning by 15-20 what's the point of the travel if you are going to play PAL teams?

So to the question, It looks like the rosters moves were good for Curcio because they haven't lost

you have to be kidding me.. Curcio at both tournaments played nobody. Heroes Green is a shell of itself. Lets see how they do this week at lax for cure vs M&D Black. That will be the ultimate test. Even if there was no moves, Curcio still would have won all their games so far. Jones however has a few ball hogs and one girl who does not come off the field.. if that does not get addressed they will not have success against good teams.

That team is a joke. Adding those new kids along with the kids that left back on the team makes the team weaker not stronger. Not saying those kids are not good players but essentially you are adding players on the back half of the team and now have way too many kids playing. I have heard that one of their players is looking to defect and I know our coach thinks the kid is an excellent player so hopefully she jumps ship as we lost one of our better layers to injury.

the Jones full gamer is a new addition or from last year?

Same. Has always played on jones. She was always a defender then somehow last year she started to play midfield and now this year she either plays defense or midfield but never comes off the field not sure how that is happening even the best girs and Curcio comes off the field. She plays every minute of every game and there are better midfielders out there who are not getting the same opportunity as her From what I hear it's a running joke on the team now She might even play goalie next as she is now the chosen one on the team That was facetious

Wow so the yJ's actually made roster moves that made sense and weren't political?

Promoted, that's funny. They are missing Jones a lot more. 8 th attacker , 7th middie and 5th defender on blue

so did they want to go up? or did the others want to go down?

Not sure how its nonsense. Curcio made some pretty real roster changes this year with some promotions and demotions and haven't lost yet. Seems to be working wouldn't you say?

Okay I will bite. First off having 27 players on a summer roster never makes a team better. Second those players that were added will have little impact nor will they be given much opportunity in any meaningful game. The YJ Curcio team have played little competition so far and would have won those games with or without those new players and with or without the kids she moved off the team.

These YJ JOs spitting out theoretical results on how these teams would have fared if their rosters were different, why the rosters are what they are, or how they would have played if they played different teams is just BAT SHT crazy. Its all baseless and ridiculous. If nothing else this reminds me of why I cannot wait until I can get away from the LAX moms and dads that actually fret over this stuff to this degree. Vineyard Vines, YJ and LAX car magnets for life y'all! We are defined by these important things.

sorry, stumbled on this thread by accident.......are you guys having a deep discussion of 9th grade girl's lacrosse rostering? Exciting stuff. I guess with LeBron and KD done for the year, this is the hot topic in the sports world.

first off, curcio has not played any meaningful games yet.. second, the girls that got moved up are not starting, play 2nd line and did not play as much vs heros green as the other teams that they were killing by 17 goals. political? daddy coach and a girl who's grandfather has a suffolk award named after him. i would say its has a political smell

It's about getting to play in front of college coaches now, who cares about wins. There are no championships now. Why are the YJ parents allowing their kids to ride the bench without a fair share of pt? Paying a lot of money for 12 min in a 50 min game. M&D girls at least on my daughters team play equal time. And why play lower level teams to run up scores? Never going to get better going against rec teams.

Idiot

Oh! I have heard of that award...also people have to realize when it comes to awards, some girls go to schools where there isn't a strong lacrosse program/interest. Therefore, getting an award at a younger age isn't as difficult as it would be at a school where lacrosse is strong. It's all relative

Curcio 0-Friday, maybe those roster changes weren't all that? 0-2-1? M&D the only quality team of the three, time to shorten the bench, 10 of you wont be playing next competitive game unless you're sent back to Jones!

That team is a joke . Possibly the worst coached team around . You have a clueless head coach who uses the team as an ATM so there are many privately trained kids who don't belong . Then you have her lacky assistants who only care if their kid is playing when neither belong on a top team. Add in the ballhog players who the head coach is afraid to correct .That team should be demolished starting with the coaches and have an actual tryout , never gonna happen as people gotta make new car payments .

Beside middies the team is not that good, and has not developed at all. No improvement. Toxic team.

I agree with you. However, based on the commitments, there are about 15 girls it worked out for, whether they deserve to be on the team or not. After that it's just padding pockets. After those 15, you don't need YJ for those schools - and not sure what JS was looking at...

JS is a great evaluator of talent and knows how to get those most out of his players.

Anyone who watches the team sees that there are a handful of exceptional D-1 caliber kids. They also see at least 15 kids who are third team players or lower, along with below average coaching and goal keeping. At the end of the day the team is what it is - an average team.

the toxic 20's parents on curcios team got exactly wha t they wanted and early verbal. They all belong together. No worse group of parents in all of sports and the coach is always overmatched when dealing with parents and when playing against other good coaches.

Curious what makes you hate the parents on this team so much. I find it hard to believe that every parent w a kid on that team is atrocious .Agreed the coach is hideous , but overmatched when dealing w parents is not the teams biggest problem. The teams biggest problem is they have too many pay to play kids .

Coach is a lap dog for CR period, no try out for this team all pay for play or political contacts but even that wont get you on the field in crunch time. This all starts with CR wanting to take apart Top Guns so assistant coach " sausage " comes over with his kids and brings 3 others form TG over with him, only problem with that was all of them were the SH*T stirrers on TG, the rest are coach " lap dog" ATM trainees or CR political contacts. So in retrospect your getting what CR asked for " Life Styles of the Rich and Selfish" enjoy the bench those of you that don't fall into one of those categories.

All the me firsters got their verbal's in early so they are happy. Its a bad group with a bad coach with way too big of a roster and way to much politics. Other than that, objectively there are 10 of the best players on LI on the team.

Stay out of this one Team Jones let nuts on Team Curcio rip each other apart. Its about the money and self promoting for CR, here will be CR's course of action to appease all the Team Curcio nuts. It all ready started this past weekend Poppa Smurf from Mt. Insano coached the team all past weekend while coach " sausage" and coach "grandma" watched 0 wins 2 Losses and 1 Tie. Next tourney CR will be on the sidelines to "fix" the problem if its a showcase your kids may play more but if its a championship format you can forget it all bets are off, that all about winning, tweeting, facebook etc. So you keep sending your emails to college coaches to watch your kids sit on the bench, 26-27 kids on the roster do the math and know where your kid stands in the pecking order. Your child needs to play to improve and needs to play to be seen by college coaches, they only thing that they are getting is a better view!

And what's w the ski goggles?

I'd say 5. Most of this team is overrated and rides the backs of the better players.

No need to worry though. As CR and AC preach to the parents, the coaches will see you're on blue and that's all that matters. Don't worry about playing, they don't need to see that.

First are you really this much of a douchbag.Second your kid must suck that you dislike other kids this much . Third it's hilarious that you think you know more than the college coaches who have watched these kids . Pathetic that you are this obsessed about a team of 14-15 year old girls , actually creepy , get help .

Uh Oh, what does it say when Gaghen out performs curcio? Bad drive home stuck in traffic after a winless weekend

72? Obviously this isn't a serious list.

You people need to get a life . If you have a child on the team and you are discussing this nonsense then you are even a bigger loser . If you don't have a child on the team then you probably have no idea what you are talking about as you have no idea who all the players are. Time to stop trying to make 23 kids feel bad about themselves because you are such a [lacrosse] you can't help trying to tell everyone how good your kid is or because you are an even bigger loser and can't help telling others how bad their kid is . There is simply no other reason to do post this crap.

Yeah, the level of attention to calling out specific numbers (OF KIDS) is so Criminal Minds "creepy guy background exposition scene" it's sick. Get a life and stop trying to point out the strengths and weaknesses of a roster of KIDS in public.

Spend your time asking CR what other checks you might be able to write her.

Don't hold your breath

Under Armour is a joke.. July 4 th weekend? after a big tourney this weekend. Did you see how many coaches were at Lax for the Cure? holy cow ..It Miller time for the coaches ...

You are just completely ignorant. There will be many coaches at the uncommitted games, more than at any individual game at LFC. That said the uncommitted games tend to be a nightmare because every kid is trying to be seen and its only 1 game. LFC had a decent amount of coaches but nothing out of the ordinary.

are the top 2 coaches for YJ's being replaced for next year?

And there are all the top programs and then some at the UA games in general. Best assembly of talent from across the country of any event all year.

hahha LFC had a decent amount of coaches? Did you happen to glance at the white board!!! you are the ignorant one...and the under class under armour is a glorified Brine!!! dope...unless your looking to go to Granville State!!! lol

With UA commmad division I think LI Wins in tight one with Baltimore. Based on club lax I have seen this summer. Here is how I see the rankings at the end.
1-Long Island
2-Baltimore
3-New England
4-New Jersey
5-Philly
6-Washington
7-Upstate NY
8-Midwest
9-west coast
10-South

Ok Dumb Dumb ... uh no. UA underclass has the most competitive teams of any tournament all year. Period. Apparently your kid didn't make it?

You are just completely ignorant. There will be many coaches at the uncommitted games, more than at any individual game at LFC. That said the uncommitted games tend to be a nightmare because every kid is trying to be seen and its only 1 game. LFC had a decent amount of coaches but nothing out of the ordinary.

Agree on the uncommitted side of UA, this really is not a recruiting event. This is more about the senior, highlight and command teams and 95+% of those kids are already committed. It is just an honor for these kids to be selected and play as this is the premier event second only to national teams. I am not sure I would sign my kid up for all the travel and expense to play on uncommitted teams with complete strangers, with no practices for a one game deal with way too many subs.

Just the way you responded tells me not only are you ignorant but most likely its your first time thru the recruiting process. Did you see the white board is hilarious. UA has been and is still the best collection of players from around the country and the coaches know this. Sorry your kid did not make the team.

Correct UA is The Who's Who of lax.

under armour the best kids? lol..yes the Senior Class is ..but the Under class is far from it...and btw ...the process is completed for us. Enjoy sweating out the next 2 years. I learned alot the process and know all about the UA..... i hope Granville State is there and shows little Sally some love..Maybe you will get one of those generic emails inviting her to camp.

Oh and BTW School Girls is a much better option as lots of quality Schools attended last year. But I guess you didnt do your homework, Sally didnt make it or you dont know the landscape that well. Make sure Sally is polite to the Granville coach. Could be her big break!

My bad it was a white canvas only 209 schools at LFC ... here's the link.meatball http://www.laxforthecure.com/

Most schools are running there camps this weeks. Lol... UA? Don't think the good ones are making the trip... The G8 is next week... something tells me Sally's club wasn't invited !

You truly seem like you are at best borederline [lacrosse]. Obviously your kid got cut. The best programs in the country will have coaches at UA because it has the best collection of talent . Schoolgirls is not nearly as prestigious as many of the better players are still playing with their high school teams. There is zero chance your kid committed to any top lax school or top academic school with a clueless father like you. What's hilarious is if your kid is done with recruiting you would want her playing UA simply because of the level of competition but you are obviously too slow to realize it.

G8 is a great tournament, pretty much all elite teams. That being said, likely 90% of all those same girls on those teams going to G8 also tried out for the UA teams, and about 25% of them made it. And you are correct, the coaches won't be there for phase 1 recruiting because all those kids are the cream and are already committed. They will be there however for phase 2 purposes, to see how their number one recruits are doing.

Hey meatball . Ever wonder why UA doesn't post a college coach list? Think about . We will be attending the LP Summit ( wonder what that is?) at the end July... my guess is your kid won't be! Enjoy the UA dream. Say hello to Granville coach! Btw is your kids club still waiting for that G8 invite? It's not coming !

Good for you the LP Summit , zero competition , with no list of college coaches . If your kid had ever made a UA team you would have a clue but you do not .Even funnier that you think it's some honor for your club to go to the G8 .The best players that are in the G8 tried out for UA most of whom did not make a team.The fact that you are either too ignorant or so bitter you can't accept the fact that UA simply has the best players of any tournament would be funny if it weren't so sad. Word of advice , calling someone a meatball paints a pretty clear picture of who you are , think Sopranos just fatter .

Ok different poster and know u are just baiting ... but for those reading here who might be wanting real information ... UA is absolutely the most talented collection of players of any tournament. Know many girls who are going from their camps this week (cutting them short) in order to attend UA. Some are flying back from Stanford, others coming up from UVA and some from Northwestern camps. Sure there are others as well. That's how prestigious UA is.

There are tons of coaches at UA, almost all of the top programs. Last year every major college coach and then some were there. And not just their assistants, the head coaches: Reese, Levy, Gait, Halfpenny and on and on. They will be looking at the younger division for new recruits (2020,2021) and will have many players in the older division (and some 2020s) already committed to their programs that they will also watch. Then many of the girls in the 2019-2021 grad classes will join their teammates who didn't make the UA teams (like this guy's daughter) at G8 the following week. They will also be making the trek up to Lake Placid to play in the committed division for their respective college teams if their team is there. So the only thing that this guy's daughter seems to be missing out on is UA. All that says is the poor girl wasn't good enough to make it and it pisses him off. Got it. As far as Schoolgirls goes, it's a good tournament, but as previous poster stated, not quite at the level of UA because, since it's Memorial Day weekend, many high schools are still in season and the tryouts often conflict with playoffs etc so not all girls try out.

Just what I expected from a meatball. You don't even know what the LP Summit is... Hint : The kids don't need coaches watching them! Where's the UA coach list ? Hmm.....they don't post for a reason!

Curious. In our state many of the kids from the Top 5 High schools in the state did not even bother to try out for the UA? Why would that be?

UA does little more than pad a kids resume so mom and dad can walk around with their chests puffed out. There may be some coaches watching the 2019s, but that'll be it. I know girls that made UA teams over girls who clearly had more talent so I question the selection process as many others do. My daughter has never tried out due to summer plans, but even if our schedule permitted she still wouldn't. Save the money for a specific college's camps or prospect days. Much more bang for your buck.

Agree, its some good lacrosse with some nice resume padding but its really just another "look at me" for mommy and daddy to brag about. Oh and don't forget the gear

Why would coaches go to watch teams play when every kid is committed already

LP Summit, used to be fun when they allowed the college commit teams to play in the open division but has never had the best team competition. Some of the commit teams are decent but overall the tournament is weak. Where is the LP coach list?

72? Obviously this isn't a serious list.

Defense is what wins close games and 21 is the only one on your list that can play defense

The one try out I heard about had 2 evaluators from the same club and the end result was 15 out of 22 who made it came from their clubs. So a representative slice of a state? Not sure about that.

As I said certain State embarrassed themselves again in the UA... because why??? These teams don't truly represent the state!! It's a scam with club coaches putting their kids in. Looks at the scores you dopes!! It's a joke...

UA is a great experience with very talented teams. Great venue, great level of play!

Poor little Shannon didn't get picked. Dude, maybe you should stop drinking? Ranting at 1AM on a message board about a girl's lacrosse tournament is a sign. UA is the most competitive tournament in the country. It's a great thing to be a part of for the girls. The Senior All-American games last night were a blast to watch. Sorry you and your daughter couldn't be here.

Under Armour.......Agreed, hands down and by far these are the most talented teams assembled anywhere. Imagine you already play on a travel team that is ridiculously talented. Now cherry pick the top kid from there and cherry pick all the top kids from the other travel teams in your area. Highest level of play you can achieve for the age group you are in, nothing even close. This is not a debate, this is exactly how it is. And yes my daughter has played for nearly everything else you may bring up, and no it does not compare. This is "IT".

My daughter's coach in NJ doesn't even let them try out b/c they are still in-season. Very few kids on the 18/19 team from Ridgewood, Summit, Moorestown, Bridgewater who are the best teams in NJ. For some reason, Oak Knoll coach lets them try out in season. Also, many of the top girls selected for all-state on News12Varsity or nj.com or by the coaches don't try out.

That may explain why NJ is a million miles behind all the other regions.

Million miles behind? I believe 4 Nj teams came out to LI this year for Brains for Gains and they all won you fool!! Including a victory over Garden city!!

Lol ... Top kid from each club? You really are a fool. Not even close . The top kids from the top NJ schools don't even tryout !!!

Are you serious? Look at the top high school teams in the country, 5 NJ teams in the top 20 this year, 6 last year. Sweep LI teams this year. It's just not that important for the NJ girls. Sorry, say what you want.

OK, lax mom here - you can all yell at me that i'm whining bc my daughter didnt make it but i watched the tryouts- my daughter played in 4 games - 25 min long and she was a middie which meant you were subbed in and out a lot - so her total time in each game was about 10 minutes/15 min. you're going to tell me that this is enough time to fairly evaluate over 200 girls? Thats's BS. sometimes i saw evaluators weren't even watching. Some girls who's club coach was there made the uncommitted team and they didn't do anything special. One just literally stood next to the goal for an entire game waiting for a pass. never even ran. My daughter by the way was in talks with 2 schools before the recruiting rule passed. And let's talk about the NY or NJ girls who go to the Midwest to make the team...
Never going again..

UA is nowhere near the importance some make it out to be. I won't go as far to say it's overrated, but definitely doesn't have the impact it's minions says it has.

Our Under Armour try it was a joke. It was supposed to be two days they cut it to one. The girls played five 20-minute games but our team had so many girls on it that each girl got to play 5-10 minute segments. The majority of the girls on my daughter's age group came from one club team. I think it was 19 out of 22. That seems a little slanted considering that club team coach was an evaluator for the tryouts

15 or 16 out 22 came from 2 clubs who's coaches were evaluating and they are considered 2nd tier clubs!! Representative ? Sure ...

Curcio had a big 1st tournament. Jones lost to a philly team
At national Draw Curcio undefeated again and Jones had a loss
Both played a few terrible teams winning by 15-20 what's the point of the travel if you are going to play PAL teams?

So to the question, It looks like the rosters moves were good for Curcio because they haven't lost

Jones lost at Summer Genesis as well!

Looks like Jones team really missing those players that were promoted to Curcio.

Wow so the yJ's actually made roster moves that made sense and weren't political?

That's hilarious but obviously just trying to bait people into nonsense

Stay out of this one Team Jones let nuts on Team Curcio rip each other apart. Its about the money and self promoting for CR, here will be CR's course of action to appease all the Team Curcio nuts. It all ready started this past weekend Poppa Smurf from Mt. Insano coached the team all past weekend while coach " sausage" and coach "grandma" watched 0 wins 2 Losses and 1 Tie. Next tourney CR will be on the sidelines to "fix" the problem if its a showcase your kids may play more but if its a championship format you can forget it all bets are off, that all about winning, tweeting, facebook etc. So you keep sending your emails to college coaches to watch your kids sit on the bench, 26-27 kids on the roster do the math and know where your kid stands in the pecking order. Your child needs to play to improve and needs to play to be seen by college coaches, they only thing that they are getting is a better view!

Looks like this poster is spot on G8 schedule is posted, CR waiving her magic wand ducking top teams. Laughable Team Curcio not playing MD Black, Hero's, Capitol Blue guess another winless weekend was not in order Team Curcio, appease those parents and you ego Queen Bee but your fooling no one.

Did anyone see that top Curcio players helped lead Long island to undefeated record and championship at UA this weekend including Baltimore in the finals. That says a lot about LI and Curcio talent no matter how you look at it. In case you are wondering, Long Island older age group also beat Baltimore in the finals.

After watching at UA it tells me several things , Curcio must not be a good coach as many of those kids on her team are very skilled and should not be losing as much as they do.Coach Rose is a very good coach making adjustments and understanding game situations .The 3 stooges won at the younger age but were out coached in just about every game which tells me they just had the most talent . Other teams made in game agustments while they barely hung on desperate to make "their " players look good. It's a good thing they no longer put birth dates in the bios or LI could no longer complain.

Who coached the LI UA teams ?

We weren't wondering

whoever said Curcio is overmatched as a coach is exactly right. She is a yes coach easily manipulated by CR and parents and in big games she wont win you any but has cost them more than a few. Gone are the days of just dumping over the ball bucket. YJ's need coaching and in many ages the coaches are average at best. Curcio does have the most talented LI team but she might be the weakest link on the team just like the B and C coach

I wouldn't say it's a joke. Not as many coaches as a recruiting tournament like Lax for the Cure, but I saw coaches at several of my daughter's command games - Maryland, Loyola, Navy, Florida, Oregon, Dartmouth, Colorado, UConn. I'm sure there were more. I wasn't going out of my way looking for coaches.

Riddle me this, how do non starters in HS qualify as UA top 150 players nationally???

I saw the command championship game. Long Island started really well and looked great for part of the first half. Baltimore was completely over matched at first. I think the half time score was 7-0. LI did not play well in the second half. Baltimore did not look great, but good enough to end the game with a score of 8-6. For what it's worth, this was the same Baltimore team that lost to the South team in pool play and needed overtime to beat the South team in semifinals.

A double dip money wise and then a BS division placement to win the whole thing. What a total joke and money grab!!!

Someone please explain to me how we the YJ's play 5 or more tournaments a year that our director runs? We pay full price to YJ's then we pay full price to her tournaments.

It's a good thing they no longer put birth dates in the bios or LI could no longer complain.

In semi finals coach Rose didn't have to coach very hard. The refs absolutely influenced the game more than they should have. I am NOT saying that LI wouldn't have won anyway. They were very skilled and well-coached. It was just a shame as a New England parent to watch at least 2 and maybe 3 of 4 yellow cards called in the first 12 minutes of the game be phantom calls. The New England team played man-down for 8 of first 15 minutes and then the last 40 minutes as well. After having a fun, exciting 11-10 OT game in pool play, to have the refs affect the game like that was a let down. I'm sure the LI players, coaches and parents would also have liked to see a different game played. Again, not saying the outcome would have been different, but from what I saw, the two best teams were in that semi-final, and the game wasn't much of a game.

Having said all that, congrats to LI on the tournament win. They are certainly a worthy champion. Good luck to the girls the rest of the summer and look forward to playing them again in the future.

If MD United is there, it's really not a "great" tournament. Other teams are more deserving.

At national Draw Curcio undefeated again and Jones had a loss
Both played a few terrible teams winning by 15-20 what's the point of the travel if you are going to play PAL teams?

So to the question, It looks like the rosters moves were good for Curcio because they haven't lost

Looks like this poster is spot on G8 schedule is posted, CR waiving her magic wand ducking top teams. Laughable Team Curcio not playing MD Black, Hero's, Capitol Blue guess another winless weekend was not in order Team Curcio, appease those parents and you ego Queen Bee but your fooling no one.

G8 is a CR production, she sets the schedule which actually makes it worse.

If MD United is there, it's really not a "great" tournament. Other teams are more deserving.

Who ??

BBP( Spallina wanna be that will never be) .Wants to be thought of as being creative when in reality it's just bad coaching.
OB ( As clueless as they come . Actually seemed to have an unhealthy obsession w the a player )
Mattituck ( BBP coach wanna be )

Seems like overall Legacy has decided to get involved in these events so look in the future to have more legacy players .

Jones gets thrown to the wolves w MD Black & Heros Green, and Curcio gets the easy bracket this time. Don't they get sick of being the ugly step-sister?

Plus Mass Elite Red and Capital Blue. Gonna be rough for that team

You see this is where people show their ignorance!!! This is a showcase tournament and the idea is to get the girls looked at so that they get recruited. Curcio's team is almost all done. In order to help Jones's team they schedule them against the best teams so they get maximum exposure to the college coaches. Jones is an excellent team and will show it by playing some of the best teams in the country. This will then help those girls to get recruited. It is not about wins and losses, college coaches could care less!!!!

just an FYI the G8 schedule was out 2 months ago.. long before the Curcio debacle season. not sure how CR would have know to put Jones in the harder bracket back then to have Curcio play in the other... she must have a crystal ball. I am sure if i was to guess was to give the Jones kids better / more exposure to the college coaches

Exposure is the key word - they will surely be exposed playing in that bracket (and not for the better)

If that's the case then the 12 or so girls not committed on Curcio team should not be happy .

Yes exposure is the Key word! and thats what the G8 is all about..Not wins and losses. Too bad your club isnt invited..Sucks when you have to play in B level showcases like Project 120!

But your team has to get the ball to get exposure.

Right! Sucks to not have been playing for a team, so the result is a camp.

who cares you are all nuts with these extra camps, clinics, visits and summer games its like lax 5 days a week over the summer

Lol. She must not like her decision of so called "taking a break" from club, so she went to a camp. Wouldn't be surprised if she took a trip to G8 to watch her 'could've been' team play...

the whole curcio team is committed except for 1 goalie and 6 on defense

moron, college coaches don't care who wins / loses in non championship formats, and barley care in championship formats. Do you think NC Coach Levy or any other coach could answer who won all their games at In The NET, ND or Lax For Cure?? She could care less. She and all the coaches just care about watching the girls play. Jones may get beat by M&D Black but again who cares, as long as the Jones girls play well.

I guess money wasn't the problem in the decline of the spot for Jones, since they spent it on a camp. Still the richies of lacrosse.. How many more camps are you going to Ms. Decliner?

Shouldn't this diatribe be on the YJ thread?...no one but you two care a lick about whatever the heck you are babbling about...

Some don't love the YJ's or Curcio and Jones it is possible you know geesh

Poor kid. Misses club, guess daddy coach didn't know what to do

Understand what you're saying, but again, if your team is being dominated by a much stronger team, not sure how well you will show.

Oh trust me. Money is never a problem for them. They're so humble about it. Wait till you find out what daddy coach does.

How did we get back to bullying a 14 year old on this thread? You are a loser and you really need to get a life.

Dude, how about you stop answering yourself. No one cares about all this nonsense. To each his own. Leave that family alone and worry about your own.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Are you saying that a kid that doesn't play club shouldn't attend a camp because it would appear that they miss playing club? you sound like an idiot. Seems like you have drunk the kool-aid. My kid never played club, she went to camps and clinics and prospect days and it worked out very well. Not everyone wants or chooses to play club. It's not the end of the world, the sky isn't going to fall. some advice my friend is to spend less time infatuated with others and focus on yours. maybe you would see how stupid and ignorant you really sound.

Club is a way to get put in front of college coaches. And since she doesn't play for one. Daddy had to put her in a camp in order to put her in front of the coach.

"Daddy" didn't have to do anything. Maybe "Daddy" chose to put her in camp. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Not everyone chooses to go the club route. Camp also gets them exposure to college coaches. There have been many camps my daughter hasn't been able to attend because of our club schedule. It's almost becoming one or the other because scheduling. Not sure why you have such strong feelings about this particular girl/family.

I personally know a D1 coach who feels that recruiting camps are the way to go and sees club ball as becoming secondary. I happen to think parents won't let go of club ball. But as far as recruiting, camps will produce the same results.

hey you have to play the games... that is the beauty of sports.. now dont take this the wrong way but buster douglas was a 80-1 underdog vs mike tyson, and the usa mens hockey beat the Russians in 1980 after they lost to them 2 months before 14-3. you never know

We just had a few girls graduate last year that went on to play low D1 lacrosse without ever playing travel lax! Imagine that?? Athletes are athletes and coaches know who they are. All the club games and clinics wont dramatically change your kid unless they were born with it.

Keep trying to put that square peg in the round hole

The only way to get put in front of the coaches is a CLUB. This is the LI way of play, don't go creating another way to play.

You are drunk on LI Kool-Aid. this statement is absolutely FALSE and if this is what club directors are telling you, then you would have paid the same club directors the total amount of any scholarship your kid would have received from colleges. Club directors will tell you this BS to ge you to cut the check, and it is totally false. any college coach without a club connection will tell you they prefer to see the girls at camp rather than a tourney and that is a fact! continue paying thousands each year to clubs and realize you still have to send your kid to the college camp anyway....

WOW!! I can't believe what I am reading, You can't be for real. This is naivete in its finest and is completely inaccurate. If you believe this, then your kid has a long road and a hard reality check ahead.

Bwah ha ha..There is no way you have an education higher than a GED with this post. You should be ashamed.

If you play for the right Club you will get all the exposure you need...Trust me...the second tier clubs dont get looks until later...if you dont play for a club you better play for a good high school...Camps are great but if your kid doesnt go the extra yard to stand out..good luck...also club coaches will usually give the coaching staff a heads up to look out for certain kids attending the camps...huge help

You all need to calm down, can you say sarcasm? There is no right club, that is a lie, in my daughters year the most dominate team was the Y.J. but a teammate of my daughters was the #1 pick ( not Y.J.) so good players get noticed no matter what club they play for... or if they don't play club at all. Coaches will take the player that best fills there need... not because of the name on the front of the pinnie.

Not necessarily true.... look at the top 15 clubs commits ... from 2018 and 2019... littered with the best schools both academically and lacrosse .... they look at top clubs first and work down ... u may get 1 or 2 quality commits from others 2nd tier to fill spots ....then you go down the scale ... bottom line your kid needs to the right fit school wise and lax wise

What does #1 pick mean?
#1 in the nation?
First of the age group to verbal?

Ohh doesn't she wish she could be playing at tourneys this summer. SAD

Your math is not adding up, according to CR committed list as compared to the YJ Curcio roster there is more than just 7 you have quoted.........

So was it everything you hoped for?

Got to watch the Curcio team after not having seen them for awhile. What the heck happened to that team? They actually seem to be worse now then 2 seasons ago. They were very good and then added a kid from TG who may be the best player in the age group and I thought no one would beat them again. I still remember some of the kids and they are still very good players but it seems as if YJ has tossed in the towel on being considered the best .Have read about the pay to play antics and was hoping to see the coaches new car but missed it.

CR did not update the 2020 committed list. You look in the fall of 2019, you will see 6 names pop up in one day. all were done right around when the NCAA nixed the early commit rule.

yes it was.. other than the Hero's Green game, the jones girls were in every other game against M&D Black, Mass Elite and Capital... with a ton of college coaches watching the games.. again who cares about win/loss in a recruiting format game as long as the team played well and there were college coaches watching then again YES it was all we could have hoped for

Lax will always be a team game. You cant have a roster of 26 kids many of which are average at best and consistently play at a high level. Few key kids missing this past weekend. Their top 7 are still much better than any other teams top 7 in my opinion but it is rare that they are all at the same tournament.

Its got to be killing you not to be able to say anything.

I think its funny that clearly these committed but unannounced players we are talking about have broken the new ncaa recruitment rules but no one cares .If they actually verballed just prior to the rule change they would have been allowed to say something or post it .The integrity of the coaches involved comes into question ,would be interesting to know what programs.

Whoever said you pay as much money in to the Club as you get out in scholarship well.... my first kid paid in over $30k in her club career and she got a token $5,500 a year athletically to a school that was over $45,000 so we lost our shirts. If that's why you are doing it quit now the return on investment couldn't be any worse than girls lacrosse! If you like the game, and dont mind giving up your summer weekends and have the financial means than do it otherwise get an SAT tutor!

I should have paid my kid $5k and sent her to a state school

Can you share with us?

If you can get your kid into a school that she normally could not have. Is that worth it? and in the current climate of of anti Caucasians at colleges..worth every penny.

Yup, you are correct, there are a small percentage that get full, think the top few kids from each region. There are your next level studs who will see 40-60%, may squeak some extra out of that, these are the top kids at most programs expected to be impact players. Your average players will see 20-40%. The round out of the roster players will see less than 20% if anything at all. And a fair number of players will walk away altogether. Surely everyone's daughter fits in that model somewhere.

Agree 100%

I have been involved with girls/women's lacrosse for a LONG time. To the best of my recollection I do not know of any girl/woman getting a 100% scholarship. This does not take into account the girls I personally know who went or are at Navy or Army, where every student gets 100%. I know the Griffin's at U of Md, Steele at U of Md, Brisolari and Carter at PSU, the Stukenberg's, girls at Rollins, Mt Olive, etc...None got 100%. My own kid got 25% athletic money, and she's a stud. I think most of the girls on her college team got around the same amount. Now, whenever someone, in the past, told me that their kid got 100%, after I smirk and ask them "Really?", they always say something like, "Well, you know what I mean. It's close to 100% if you add in academic money". My kid, as an example, got about 40% of the FULL COST TO ATTEND, if you add academic and athletic. That's another thing that many over-zealous parents will use to justify the 100% lie...They don't factor in the FULL COST TO ATTEND. So, without a doubt, I would be 110% leary if some over-zealous yj type said their little studette got 100% to ANY school. It may have happened once or twice, but otherwise, it doesn't happen. Just smirk and walk away, shaking your head.

The moment you name actual players and state what they do or do not get tells me you are either a complete loser or a liar. There are players who are getting the full cost of attendance covered thru athletics , not a lot but I personally know a few. The whole athletic and academic money thing would indicate these players are attending schools that they would have easily gotten into without lax. Academic plus athletic money is a red flag to the NCAA.

My own kid got 25% athletic money, and she's a stud. I think most of the girls on her college team got around the same amount. Now, whenever someone, in the past, told me that their kid got 100%, after I smirk and ask them "Really?", they always say something like, "Well, you know what I mean. It's close to 100% if you add in academic money". My kid, as an example, got about 40% of the FULL COST TO ATTEND, if you add academic and athletic. That's another thing that many over-zealous parents will use to justify the 100% lie...They don't factor in the FULL COST TO ATTEND. So, without a doubt, I would be 110% leary if some over-zealous yj type said their little studette got 100% to ANY school. It may have happened once or twice, but otherwise, it doesn't happen. Just smirk and walk away, shaking your head.

The moment you name actual players and state what they do or do not get tells me you are either a complete loser or a liar. There are players who are getting the full cost of attendance covered thru athletics , not a lot but I personally know a few. The whole athletic and academic money thing would indicate these players are attending schools that they would have easily gotten into without lax. Academic plus athletic money is a red flag to the NCAA.

Red Flag? It is common practice. Why come on here and try to misinform people?

When you say state school, I guess you mean SUNY. Because schools in the $45,000. range are probably state schools that you are paying out of state tuition. Maryland, UNC, PSU, UVA, Willaim and Mary, etc etc etc all state schools. You could have taken that same $5,000. and went to SBU, Albany, Binghamton and your cost would be half of what your paying now.

Wait! Now is when the posters will come out and talk about their kid or some kid they heard about getting a full-ride to XXX-U or whatever.

Yup, you are correct, there are a small percentage that get full, think the top few kids from each region. There are your next level studs who will see 40-60%, may squeak some extra out of that, these are the top kids at most programs expected to be impact players. Your average players will see 20-40%. The round out of the roster players will see less than 20% if anything at all. And a fair number of players will walk away altogether. Surely everyone's daughter fits in that model somewhere.

I have been involved with girls/women's lacrosse for a LONG time. To the best of my recollection I do not know of any girl/woman getting a 100% scholarship. This does not take into account the girls I personally know who went or are at Navy or Army, where every student gets 100%.

It may be common, it may not be common. Many schools do not like or just dont mix academic and athletic money exactly for that reason. Think about it ,if a school wants to start giving academic money to many of their athletes that athlete had better exceed the normal academic benchmarks that generally warrant that type of scholarship or schools will take advantage of this to give money to athletes under the "academic" umbrella . If an athlete is using their sport to get into a "reach" school than there is little chance to receive academic money.

While that may be true there is little comparison between a SUNY school and those in terms of academics, campus, athletics, alumni networks etc. If money is the only factor I agree but you only get to go to college once .

You missed the point. The conversation WAS about money
He was complaining about money and said that he should have sent his daughter to a state school.
$45,000. is a state school. Just out of state tuition.

If you are in this just for chasing an athletic scholarship, I think you're in the wrong place. We paid club fees and training because our daughter loves the game. I'll be honest that my husband and I are very happy that our daughter's lacrosse athletic scholarship is saving us a substantial amount of money at the school she's going to, but it was never all about that. We both really enjoy watching her and her team, and we've made good friends we wouldn't have met otherwise and made many, many great memories at tournaments, lacrosse dinners, high school games, etc. There were some bumps in the road too but the good far exceeded the bad. I'd do it all again.

Three kids, three differents sports, all D1, all got a mix of academic and athletic money. Two out of state schools in different states (one gave an out-of-state tuition waiver as part of her package), one private. Your mileage may vary.

Why wouldn't an athletic program take advantage of whatever academic money could be rewarded? It's there for the scholar, and if the scholar happens to be an athlete it just sweetens the deal. Some athletic departments really value their academics and want kids on the roster who are going to elevate the team GPA. That said, of course it may be harder to get, or retain, academic funds if it's a reach school.

Is your kid really a stud if she is getting the same 25% as all her teammates? The inability of some people to accept that there are kids getting full makes me smirk and walk away shaking my head.

I for one am sick of all random posts about this kid. What is it with you?you seriously need to be banned from this board. It never ends.

I agree, enough is enough! This board/thread has been taken over by teenage girls given a anonymous platform to instigate, make up stories and bully each other. Some of the BS written about kids here is written by parents, but most of this garbage is written by teenage girls looking to start trouble, so they post and answer themselves. Anonymous posts allow anyone to make up things and spread it on the internet. Believe nothing you read here that is written anonymously as most likely it is 99% false. Most know to ignore the posts and trolls and not take the bait.

Max Expo is a 4 day camp, which means we're stuck with her... All she's gonna do is show off like she does at everything. Nothing new. Stop talking about her. She's a show off.

20-40% is probably the norm and nobody talks about the large amount of D1 schools that don't use their full allotment of ncaa scholarships. Then when you look at the Syracuse 50 girl roster the bottom 20 -30 don't get a PENNY.

Is their a kid that gets 100% somewhere? Probably yes, but be honest its not your kid or mine

Do you people not get it, IT DOES NOT MATTER!!!!!! CR cashed her checks, the dim witted lap dog coach will do as she is told and the assistants parent coaches (LOL)Dr. Sausage and Grandma have never nor will ever have any say, the only reason they are there is to ensure there kids are on the field period. So keep grin and bare it keep mumbling, cursing and talking behind each others backs on the side lines. oh and don't forge to write those checks for those early rides home. Maryland parents having a field day at your expense and CONGRATULATIONS on being named "most psychotic" parents in the YJ organization.

is your check book big enough??????

As a matter of disclosure my kid is on 2nd team YJ and its where she belongs. Have watched YJ Curcio for a several games from a distance.(not a stalker just little to do between games and a friends kid is on the team) The problems are numerous . To start there are too many players. Then there are players on the Jones team who are clearly better than the lower half Curcio players. I hear if you are paying Curcio for privates you most likely do not belong on that team. The team is essentially equal playing time divided between two full team lines, each full team substitution has some of the better players on it. So essentially they never have all their best players on the field at the same time and instead run out two distinct mediocre teams. The middies on both lines are very good but the constant turnovers by the bottom of the team players and they run out of steam. One goalie seems to be at a much higher level than the other. Curcio favors one player over all others and unfortunately that player has not shown to be a game changer or produce in the big games,even to the point the team seems to play better when she is not in or not there( not sure why the kid is an excellent player , just an observation).
The coaching seems to be more about yelling than instructing , the older female coach at least seems to be encouraging .
All that said those closer to the situation probably have a different take but are too afraid to speak up.

All the 2020 YJ coaches are overmatched. Jones doesn't yell? Are you kidding me?

To afraid, why do you sign your name to your post
Setauket and buy a clue. Nobody on your team is clearly better than most of that team

Then how do you explain the MD united east score? That is a like opponent in the same weekend.

The key words in anything is someone WAS an excellent versus someone IS an excellent player. The IS excellent works hard everyday to stay there. The WAS became committed and stopped working hard. So important to work hard all the time. I don't care what you do-School, band etc. Always try to excel(believe me there will be plenty of time for relaxation with having this drive as well)

We see this all the time...still lots of time to change that course which is great for young kids.

What the heck are you talking about.

Either line they put out will beat Jones team by a lot.

Heard one of the 2020 YJ coaches isn't coming back. Is it A, B or C?

If you heard tell us who

Can someone with the YJ explain to me why the shines team looks different at each tourney and different days of same tourney. Do girls swap from team to team or do just some girls show up different days?

You would have to give us an example of what team and what tournament you noticed this at.

Honest questions here.

Can someone explain to me how 2020 YJ Cur looked like world-beaters this past Saturday in MD and then on Sunday morning lost to a very mediocre MDU team.

A few hours later that same "meh" MDU team got smoked by 2020 YJ Jones.

Do the YJ rosters change overnight?

They are probably talking about Jones. Some of the MD clubs were talking about it at G8 and Mid Atlantic.

Exactly! Jones barely beat a mediocre checkers team Sat by 1 then only lost to Heroes on Sun in playoffs by 1! At G8 most of their games weren't close against the same teams

Same kids on jones team all season including this weekend

YJ Jones team has been the same since day 1 of the summer season. If you don't believe it, buy the tournament videos and compare for yourself.

College coaches have been noticing the improvement in the Jones team, and now you say even some of the MD teams are talking. The Jones girls are thankful for the opportunity to challenge themselves against the strongest club teams around. They always learn from the experiences.

Is it true that there are fewer coaches at Elite 120 than there were at UA150? If so, what a complete waste of time and money.

Yes, Infuriating!

Good for you, you got a $500 invite with no coaches...sucker

Why do the yellow jackets not use a color designation for teams and just use a coaches name?

Since you guys are talking about jones , are there any other clubs with good "B" or second teams. I'm sure some good club B teams beat the lower tier A teams

That can't be that fewer coaches were at 120. UA 150 had no more than 20 total for 2 days

Or borrow it from mom in Jones team. She films everything

That event used to have almost every college represented but never had the best competition . Worked out well because if your kid was decent they would look like a super star in front of a lot of coaches . Now it seems to be just another non competitive money maker .

So they could have two blue teams and no one would feel slighted. It also allows for all sorts of chest-thumping amongst the teams claiming to be the top team.

All of these events, Brine, UA 150, and Nike 120 have become watered down over the past couple years, particularly this year. Once upon a time they were prestigious, not now.

Too many money grabs. Coaches can't get everywhere. Just like the Nationals, a very weak field of teams yet its labeled the National Championship. Every week is promoted as the biggest showcase tournament of the year

We are not saying they look so much better, we are saying day to day they look like different girls. But I guess girls are not switching around because I'm sure the parents would be upset if their kid got bumped for another girl.

Agreed not all the to teams go to the nationals but I think the tournament is a great idea and you do get a lot of teams from across the country.If more of the top teams attended it could easily be a great tournament not run by any particular club so no real favoritism. The Maryland teams can say what they want but the age restrictions are a major reason they do not attend. They used to but rarely won so now they make excuses. Say what they want but the MD teams clearly enjoy some home town reffing against the LI clubs most of the summer to the oint that its comical at times.

You could argue that Nationals is the 4th or 5th toughest tournament field of the season. That makes it an utter joke even if some West Coast teams show up.

Give it a rest. Most of the YJ's families are people you don't want to be friendly with. Why single this one out? The most egotistical me first club in all of lacrosse. If your kid was placed where you didn't like would you stay because you didn't want to upset the queen bee? What a tool you are

Brine was never prestigious ... it's a joke . UA150 never got traction . Elite 120 always had the best talent and coaches The no recruiting in JAN hurt it as that's when it was held. My first kid attended and got a bunch of good conversations started with coaches .

.

Yup! Just saw the kid in action. Definitely someone to watch!

Brine/ Warrior is a joke. Girls being named all American all stars there when they can barely pass or catch.

Its all about the money. Us lax people throw money at everything! Just ask CR

That's not true- the YJ fridge magnet, key chain, and wine stopper set for $49.95 was worth every penny. That's not throwing money around, it's about quality and prestige.

Does the key chain have a bottle opener?

We use cans A Hole.

You should have gone with the $150 package - it comes with really nice YJ blanket and stadium seat cushion.

Please name 1 LI team that can beat any YJ team. TG 2023 only one !

That is two, there may be more that just haven't played YJ. YJ is still the biggest program, but they don't have all the top girls like they did even 5-6 years ago. YJ doesn't seem to have any teams that are dominate in the country anymore, and TG doesn't seem to be as strong as they were 5-6 years ago. Possibly because more options, but more likely it seems that other programs in the Northeast and MidAtlantic are stronger and better instructed than in the past, and girls in these other clubs are starting to close the gap. Good for the growth of the game.

MD is still dominant, followed by LI, but both are losing some ground, it seems LI by a much larger margin because it seems that MD does a better job when it comes to coaching as a team (athletes are not much different, but clubs spend much more time together practicing and playing). Thus their club teams tend to be more competitive than LI teams collectively (Probably a margin of 5 to 1).

Yes and no. The YJ teams essentially never practice and its my understanding the MD teams have multiple practices so yes the MD teams do perform better as a team. That said when you look at things like UA LI performs on par or even better than MD so I think the caliber of player is as good just not the commitment to travel team performance.

Its killing YJ nation that they aren't as dominant as they once were and their numbers at the younger ages continue to plummet (50% decrease in teams) Now in fairness, they were the biggest so they had the most to lose but LI has seen a reduction in hard core year round players plus the talent is more spread out amongst all the clubs plus their weak coaching is finally been exposed. Kids on 3rd and 4th teams have walked away or are playing on weaker clubs A and B teams where they get a little more TLC and better coaching

You are 100% correct, all these new clubs have clearly diluted the talent from the third and forth YJ teams.

I would add 2nd and some 1st teams to your assessment. Most of B teams are really not that good and aren't retaining the talent they once did. The better girls leave because there are so many other options.

YJ's 2020 win in spite of the coaches. Its a testament to the athleticism of the girls. CR really needs to start looking at her HC's. With the talent levels so tight between clubs she the YJ's for the 1st time ever need better coaching. The girls themselves are not carrying the day like they once did

Win? What have they won.

regular English please?

I am new to the site and a little overwhelmed.... so please be patient.

My daughter is Class of 2020 and after playing JV as a freshman, want to now play in a year round league to improve her skills to assure she can play Varsity as a junior. She has played clinics as the LI Sports Hub in winter and an Adelphi program this past summer. Playing for the purposes of being recruited for colleges is not a priority- but I clearly understand why leagues at this level do so.

So many leagues...... and tryouts are coming soon.

I am looking for some honest feedback as to what might be some leagues to consider.

So I've figured out the REPLY button but am unsure if this should be a separate thread. My apologies if not.

By "leagues" it sounds like you are talking about clubs? Not aware of any leagues that have individual registration - teams are by high school or travel club at this age. For clubs, it depends on where you live and what type of commitment you are interested in as far as travel, expense, time, etc. Some are year-round, some mainly summer. Really have to do your own research - club websites typically list their tournament schedules, practices and sometimes cost.

This site used to have links to most of the clubs, but not anymore. Could start on tourneymachine, find a local tournament and make a list of teams, then Google them for websites.

A little late to the game with top club rosters pretty much set by now, but good luck - tryouts are coming up soon in August and September.

You are right- I meant clubs not leagues.

Is there a lot of differences in the ability levels of YJ, Liberty, Elevate, Wave, etc.? I've tried to get an idea from past discussions but there seems to be a lot of negative rants to sift through just looking at Class of 2020 threads.

I've resorted to the individual team websites.... but would appreciate feedback from anyone whose daughter has played for these clubs.

If its all about gaining experience and playing, I would choose based on where you live. In Nassau County, Liberty probably offers the best/most frequent training year round. Icon might too, I'm not sure. In Suffolk, you have Elevate, Top Guns and YJ. I'm not sure any of those are good options for what you're looking for. Based on the fact that your daughter has never played travel, I don't think she could make a club's top team. Top Guns and YJ don't do much with their "B" teams. Elevate offers years round training, but their B teams are not competitive.

Definitely a wide range of talent among the clubs, and even among the teams within a given club. I would start with your daughter's teammates and the older girls playing varsity at her HS - see where they are playing, or have played in the past and left. Like you've already noticed, asking for feedback on here will just lead to bad mouthing.

Don't let the kool aid drinkers get you down. If your daughter can play she will always find a spot even in college. Our HS has had girls play in college without EVER playing club although they were beasts athletically.

"A" level clubs have the most contacts and get the most looks from college coaches but even if you join a B level club, those clubs always get their top players recruited. Maybe not the bottom of the roster, but the top girls from all these programs seem to make it work they just have to work a little harder to get seen and contacting college coaches. Good luck!

Let's be fair. Their A team is not that competitive either. Save you money on the group training and get some individual training from a decent trainer. Also, she has to be working on her own. Thats money well spent.

Elevate would NOT be a good fit for your daughter. They will take your money, make promises to you and your daughter they wont keep and your wallet will be dry!

The problem is you can 20 different people and get 20 different answers as to why someone likes or dislikes a club. You really need to take a lot into consideration: amount of travel time required, cost, what you get for the money you are paying, and what are you looking to get out of the club for your daughter, etc. to help find the best for her and your family (playing club is definitely a family commitment). Try go to several try-outs , if that's possible and speak with parents in the 2020 age group from all the different level teams (since you don't know where your daughter will land). Many parents will be honest about the pros and cons of the club. People can be happy with a club but there are always pros and cons. Good luck in your search.

If you are looking for a lot of playing time, my friends daughter played on Liberty last year and played year round. They had clinics at sports hub in Syosset a winter league as a team at ally pond and other playing opportunities. She said the coaching was great and her daughter improved significantly. I think YJ plays in an indoor league further out east and also has clinics but the clinics are small groups and sell out. You can go to YJ clinics and play on other clubs.

Do not choose elevate

Much also depends on what particular age group/team within a club your daughter lands at. A toxic team or coach can exist within an otherwise great club, and vice versa. Unfortunately, you won't know ahead of time where your daughter will be slotted.

Has anyone ever participated in LI girls showcase? Any feedback appreciated.

We have not done it before and was thinking of it..but weather supposed to be nasty on Saturday so don't know how that will affect things....

They have some nice coaches listed. But I'm skeptical that they will all be there.

Is that from experience or from bitter old guy/gal parent lax vet?

Check and see what coaches are listed as attending, if there are more than a couple from schools that you're interested I then go, if not take a pass. Go to the camps/clinics of the schools you're interested in if they're not attending the event
