Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to 8th Grade Girls (2025 Grads) for the Fall 2020/Summer 2021 season.
Did Lomo and Janelli play yesterday or did CR engineer so that they wouldn't to avoid any controversy?
...asking for a friend, I'm sure....
There are probably only 100 people in the world who care about the outcome of that game and if you were one of them you'd already know what happened yesterday. .

Now I want to know and I have Zero skin in it. Janelli v Lomo? What happened ?!?
Thanks...
They were not scheduled to play. CR doesn't want Lomo to beat Janelli again... Something fishy going on there...

Why is this a story?

The better and higher ranked team won the game. AGAIN.

Lomo is a top coach and has better players, Janelli's team is a more casual travel lacrosse experience which works for a lot of people.

But let's not stir up a bunch of controversy over a B team beating a C team.
Score?

Janelli lost by alot to a 2026 team and to YJ B or C 2024. He picked up many 91 players last year. Same old same old for this team. Too bad
when are tryouts, don't expect much changes to Spallina 2025.
You do realize Lomo’s team won by a braveheart right? Janelli’s team led the entire game and the actual game ended in a tie.
4-4, and then Lomo took the braveheart.

Bravehearts are a cop-out used by tournaments too cheap to allocate time for OT. They stink and mean nothing. Not a Janelli parent either. I just think Bravehearts are notIntelligent. Do OT and have enough time between games for it instead of trying to cram in one extra game per day per field for the tournament to load its pockets.
Lomo coaches to win , Janelli coaches to not upset bench players parents . If the starters where left in the game it would have been over in the first 10 minutes .
really? we joined YJ because we thought all teams were play to win. and Janelli left my daughter in well over most of the game as a starting middy.

Obviously a Lomo parent. Guess your not as good as you think
Maybe he should have sat her then .
Janelli team had better teamwork, Lomo top players are better and carried them to W. Close game but Lomo won again...
It's "you're", as "your" denotes ownership.

ha ha exactly my thoughts
No tryouts, but CR will still jam an unworthy player or two onto a roster that is supposed to be autonomous thus weakening the team, bloating the roster and lining her pockets. Send those players to the C team, not the B team and create a D team if you need to bump girls down. More teams, smaller rosters will make everyone happy and CR can earn her $ but please stop diluting a team with weaker players and inflating the roster. Lomo may want to coach to win, but...

Stop with the duh I’ve seen the team many times there are definitely 2-4 pay to play on the team, and everyone know who they are.
Is the 91 2025 Team really folding?

Weren't they ranked in the top 10 at the start of the year? Saw some bad losses from the fall and summer schedule so something must have changed.

Is a team issue or is the organization just dropping the girls program as a whole, I don't even see tryout information posted.

The coach's daughter for starters.

Not a difference with these two teams other than Lomo having a better goalie

Why would an organization just give up on a team that was so good last year? What happened to where they can barely squeak by Empire and they get routed by Garden City. They were the best team after Spalina last year, crazy.
They most definitely were NOT the best team after Spallina. Our team beat them head to head a number of times. Not going to drag said team into this forum on this chain again though...
91 orange is a solid team. I’ve watched them play because I have a friend with a kid in the team who is happy. I don’t have 2025 and I detest 91 as an organization so you can consider this an unbiased opinion.

Who beat them in an actual tournament or event besides Spalina? Are you talking about controlled scrimmages? You're not talking about YJ Jabroni I hope. He stole all 91s good players and still can't be Lomo.
It's amazing that Carol Rose lets this go on . I don't think he could win with the Spallina team. The problems with that coaching staff are to long to list.
The last scrimmage when the 91 coaches were sick of hearing the Lomo garbage they ran them of the field . It was 9-1 when they called off off the dogs letting Lomo get a few goals against second team.
Lomo not ready for the top teams. They get smashed vs the likes of Spallina/MND Black/Heros. is Spallina going to start bringing in kids from outside like he did with his boys 2020 Crush team?
Janelli getting ready for Empire/Checkers/Dewlax.

Every parent on the team and the coaches know exactly who you are. I'm surprised Carol Rose lets you go on quite honestly.

Speaking of Spalina, you should have gotten that message two years ago, but the fall from grace couldn't possibly be your fault, so you rip the coach who is a really good guy.

If you are that unhappy just leave, now is the time to act and there are plenty of options out there.
Why are we talking about 91. They are not a team. Poof... No one wanted to deal with Massapequa greaseball.

That’s not very nice.
Who held the higher rank at the social club Greaseball or Jabroni. It seemed like Greaseball ran his crew better until Jabroni undercut him .
How did Spallina do against the older teams at the YJ play day. Saw they played Elevate 22 , and YJ 23, Yj24.
Crickets now?
The big talkers from 91, Lomo and Spallina.
Who would write that question the day after the summer league championship?
Hmmm
Spallina dad?
And yet here you are... 10 days later.... still checking in on this...

Greaseball slid off the landscape.

Why would a spallina parent care? I dont understand your point. I imagine the team did well, and lomo/91 parents also know how their respective teams did. Sounds like someone from outside these teams is fishing.
1. YJ Spalina
2. Top Guns
3. YJ Lomo
4. Legacy
5. Elevate
6. 91/Jesters
7. YJ Janelli
8. GCT
9. Liberty
10 Empire
looks legit to me.
good one
YJ Janelli GCT and maybe Empire should move higher in front of 91/Jesters, based on summer league. 91/Jesters, combined for a reason this year but those teams fell apart for a reason too. Not sure if they solved their issues just by joining teams, so they should drop for those reasons

91 girls teams stink. Always did. Just a money grab. Think about it.....when the owners of Team 91 don't even let their own daughters play there, There's a reason. Run away fast!

‘27 Machine model:
Get lots of kids early including your own and her friends. Make it inexpensive but demanding. Coach them up and cut none for the first few years. Play lots either as scrimmages or tournaments... then pick the best and have a great team.

Who cares if JS is an owner or not He coaches all his sons and has them play for 91. Yet he coaches his daughter for a different club. If that doesn’t say what he thinks about the 91 girls program, I don’t know what does
Right, he only cares about the 29s because his daughter is on that team. He had a highly ranked 2025 team last year that dissolved because of lack of support in the organization.

Just proves 91 used the girls side to to cover some overhead for their boys teams. It’s pretty insulting when the only girls team they put an effort into with the “machine model” is the owner’s daughter’s team.

Years ago they defended JS going YJs to stay tight with CR for recruiting purposes, but apparently he just knew better.

“Just wait for the 29’s” What about every other family they bilked money from over the years with daddy ball coaches running glorified PAL teams, or over their head college kids coaching.

There is a reason why YJs & TGs are successful, their focus is clear.

Exactly! He wouldn’t let his girls anywhere near that program because he knows they stink!
He did have her play 2025 boys for a few years.

What’s your point?
Let’s see where the 91 program goes. Last year they completely changed the training to match the boys. The 2030 team will have strong coaching too. Past is the past let’s see if they put the effort in they say they are going to. Can’t revamp entire thing in a year. Building from the younger grades is smart

Wasn’t terrible and he used it to get her to improve. It’s worked pretty well I would have to say.
Hahahaha,can't stop laughing about " the machine model "comment . Aka daddy ball and massapequa ball ....wouldn't let my daughter near that team if they comped me . What a joke
Who is the fool who mentioned the "machine model " haha....you do realize that kids have willingly left that team because they finally got sick of daddy ball and massapequa ball right ? Great model .

Pretty good results for daddyball. Just sayin’
The ‘29 girls practiced twice a week all year. What more do u want
This is a 2025 forum jack wagon, the point is he screwed every other girls team in the program throughout the years, but is now starting to make it right with own daughter’s team. Massapequa PAL daddy ball is one thing, but a daddy ball GM Is another. But I guess everyone is ok with thiis?

Enjoy your two practices a week and playing in all those crappy MLT events while it lasts. It will only be a matter of time before he grabs his daughter and her friends and brings them to CR.

man if JS pumps the breaks does he have to pry your head out of his rear?

The young lady who recently commited to Army played box lacrosse with boys for 7 or 8 years using a girls stick is impressive. Quiting boys lacrosse in the middle of 4th grade is not impressive. You don't get to say you played boys lacrosse when you stopped playing in 4th grade.

When the team folds, YJ will take a few to their b team, the rest will be left to sketch. History has a way of repeating itself!
What exCuses are the Jabroni Crew going to Come up with for this oCCurence where Lomo smaCks them around again on Sunday and onCe again on Monday?

my god you're a special kind've special
who did lomo play
Janelli blew another late lead again and it ended in a tie. Their parents were so excited there wasn’t overtime this time because we all now how it would have ended. Both teams seemed fairly evenly matched, but the Janelli team continues to choke in the big spots. They seem more about everyone having a nice time rather than winning which isn’t the worst thing in the world at this age. Lomo looks to be on a different path though as they looked like team getting better where Janelli’s is always so underwhelming. Both solid B teams with maybe the far superior goalie play elevating Lomo to a low A squad.
what is the fall looking like for tournaments? will any of the teams travel to NJ or MD?

OK Lomo Coach......we know it is you here. Good try rookie.

Or they could have had a bunch of tired players from playing a game against a 2026 team right before the lomo game with a pick up team. Bet Janelli would have like to have been informed of that before hand.

If your daughter jumps ship from her club team (which has her high school coach as club coach) to a rival club how badly will that hurt her playing time in high school?Any experience here is welcome.
Without those tired players Janelli loses 6-0 clown.
A tie is a good as win under Jabroni standards. Why is everyone so worked up? This team has never beat a good team in a meaningful game so why start now?

In a different part of the country, but it caused my daughter to be put on JV her freshman year when she clearly should have been on Varsity. She made the decision to move clubs knowing that was a risk, but it was worth it to her to have a better coaching and teammates on the club team.

I think this would depend on a lot of circumstances, like why shes leaving, current relationship with coach etc. Im sure if shes going to have better opportunity to grow as a player coach might be ok with it. You would know best
Wasn't a "pick up team". That was a designed and selected team by a selfish parent. Team 91, Jesters, & some YJ players. Loyalty towards who is in question but clearly answered for some.
depends on the coach and your relationship with him/her. Did you have a conversation with the coach before you left or just disappeared in the night and texted the coach when you left? If you were a big boy/girl and talked with the coach beforehand I would imagine it would've helped and you'd already know the answer.
So it's the kids' fault for wanting to play? Would you rather them be at home doing TikToks? Rather than trolling them maybe you should applaud kids for going above and beyond to get better. There are no shortcuts to getting better at lax. hit the wall, play some ball.

A pick up team can be put together by anyone you just have to have someone who wants to do it. Its not the only pick up team in the fall league
What's wrong with a bunch of friends playing together and having fun. They are also trying to sharpen their skills. Why does this pick up team have you so twisted. Is it because they play together as a team . Unlike Jabroni where you have some vindictive jealous weasel parents crying all the time. Maybe if you weren't a PlayLax your daughter would be playing some extra lacrosse to make herself better.

No disrespect to those who communicate anonymously or work in the shadows complaining incessantly, but I'm going to do things a little differently here. I believe I may be the "selfish" parent in question so I'm going to answer a few of the questions posed, so hopefully all parties can move on.

This is the very definition of a pickup team and here is the backstory:

I was approached a couple of weeks ago by a friend whose daughter played with mine on another club team a few years back who asked if we wanted play on a team in the junior high division with a bunch of our former teammates and some girls from their town. Where our club team was playing in the JV division and it sounded like a fun opportunity to reconnect with some friends so I said yes. At the onset myself and the others invited from our club team made it very clear that the club team came first and that's where we would play if a conflict arose. Where this all happened fairly close to the start of the season I was also asked if we could use the jerseys I had purchased years ago for a pickup team we occasionally enter in side tournaments to have fun and hang with friends. I agreed with the stipulation that I could invite the daughter of a friend I run that pickup team with as it didn't feel right to play under that name without them. This is the only roster discretion I had so if you are offended or jealous that you weren't asked then I'm not sure what to tell you. I also agreed to help coach the team because it also seemed like fun. Lastly, our club coach 100% knew we were playing in another game right before our scheduled club game, so there is no story or contention there either.

Now for the sentiment that the girls who played in both games were tired and that's why the team didn't win, well that feels more like conjecture based on the game I watched, but you are 100% entitled to your opinion on that. And for context it was only 5 of the 26 girls on the roster who played in the earlier game so it seems the impact is being likely exaggerated.

I will be at practice tonight if anyone wants to discuss it with me further.
2G by 8 over Jabroni
A team is a team until you split them up!!!

Some people will never learn about being part of a team.

All forgone one for all. Maybe not

When you play the #1 ranked 2027 team in the country and beat them please come on here and let everyone know.
"Janelli blew another late lead again and it ended in a tie. Their parents were so excited there wasn’t overtime this time because we all now how it would have ended. Both teams seemed fairly evenly matched, but the Janelli team continues to choke in the big spots. They seem more about everyone having a nice time rather than winning which isn’t the worst thing in the world at this age. Lomo looks to be on a different path though as they looked like team getting better where Janelli’s is always so underwhelming. Both solid B teams with maybe the far superior goalie play elevating Lomo to a low A squad."

"OK Lomo Coach......we know it is you here. Good try rookie."

Um, I don't think the Lomo coach wrote the above, if so why would she denigrate her own team? Also, the author of this quote seems to be confused and manages to insult both Jamelli and Lomo in the same post. My question is if the two teams are on different paths with Lomo getting better, as is stated, how do you explain the fact that Lomo had won the last three meetings but tied in their most recent matchup? The author is not from either team, just some lunatic with nothing better to do than stir the pot.

This 2 G squad sounds pretty good. Heard their looking for a game vs Spalina’s crew.
My child left her club team spring of 8th grade three years ago. It was the best decision for our family & she left knowing there would be retaliation down the road. You don't owe anyone an explanation. You made the decision knowing risks, did so anyway, IMO that speaks volumes and takes courage. Its a shame children have to take into consideration being "punished" when considering leaving a team and in a perfect world grown butt adults wouldn't take that personal. Its lacrosse & unfortunately we have our share of crazy parents and crazier coaches. I wish we would've trusted our instincts sooner but I assure you it's best decision we ever made. Besides its common knowledge your kid could ride bench in HS & it likely wouldn't make a difference being recruited. Best of luck to your child

You can stay home and how about you leave our lives to us? Just because you do not want to play does not mean the rest of us can't live life and take the risks associated with it. Further, if you knew the science and were a doctor you would know while the cases have increased the deaths and serious cases have plummeted and represent a risk less than the flu for most people under 70, unless a preexisting condition. Do not be a science denier.

Yeah because there has been such a spike in cases due to lacrosse tournaments starting back in June.

I love how they think they’re really something. Wondering who’s going to come to their try outs lmao ! That’s funny stuff.
Unfortunately these decisions and choices of exposure have ramifications beyond ones own health. Though our daughters of this age and us in a general range of age as their parents are within a low risk segment, all can still be asymptomatic carriers whose probability of infection increase in the tournament environment that we all then bring back to our bubbles and potentially expose loved ones in our circles who are part of the higher risk segment of the population and for them this thing is the grim reaper. I'm no snowflake but individual behavior does not isolate consequences to just that individual, it instantly turns into a communal risk and danger. Wear a mask, get tested and don't put others at risk. There is no cure... The mask is to protect others as much as to protect yourself. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of vilifying Spallina, bashing lomo, janulli and the defunct 91 guido...

We can say we were protesting and then we’ll be safe. It’s a fact. No COVID related flare ups were reported from protesting.

Be safe. Protest everything.

What is this fall looking like for tournaments for different clubs? Do you think we will get to participate in any of the tourneys in MD? seems like even the NJ tournaments have moved down there.

I guess YJ works at getting their teams better and the Jesters work on putting rogue teams into a league and exclude players from their club.

2024 yj teams constantly are complaining.....wouldnt be hard to find...
Tribe. Not a club team. Not YJ, not Jesters, not Elevate, not Legacy. The roster has girls from each of those teams including 3 2025s and the rest 2024s. These girls have known each other for years of playing with/against each other on Long Island. Yes, the coach is the director of Jesters. But the girls have trained with her well before she became the director of Jesters. Tribe was assembled in the summer when the pandemic was shutting down all tournaments, and the LIJLL put together the summer league. Tribe entered as a way to keep the girls playing completive lacrosse while having fun with each other. Jesters did not exclude any of their players - this is not a Jesters team. The YJ players on Tribe will stay with YJ, the Legacy players will stay with Legacy, the Elevate players will stay with Elevate and the Jesters players will stay with Jesters. The coach of Tribe (i.e., the Jesters director) is not trying to recruit the girls away from their current club teams. She has been training these girls outside of Tribe for years, and this is just an extension of that. As someone stated earlier, it is a pick up team with girls from all over Long Island who are friends and who just want to get some extra playing in. Pretty simple.
Tribe & 2G are both poaching scumbags and team wreckers.

In one these case those families have done nothing but ruined the team culture from the moment they arrived. The kids are overrated and not worth the hassle.
Glad to hear they are a "problem" the 24 age group will have to deal with and not the 25's...
Oh
is that what club teams and players do,
join "pick up" teams instead of being part and committed to your club team? COMMITTED !!!
Some parents are one way streets. OH WAIT I FORGOT TO CALL EVERYONE A TWIT to defend myself!
oh and that club coach coaches the pick up team just to be a nice person NOT to try to recruit players.
ok right I was born yesterday.. By the way it's going on in two age groups.
You all know who you are and so does the Boss

Another well constructed sentence by an obvious lacrosse parent who knows all about lacrosse and who’s worth it, and who isn’t, yet has the IQ of a tic tac. Please tell us more, potato.

If your coach isn’t working your team this season, go where your kid is going to play. It’s your kid, if anyone fights you on you bettering your kid, that should be a huge red flag.
Bruce Springsteen knows , I wasn't aware he followed girls lacrosse and stalked BOTC. Maybe he will show up and perform Hungry Heart for those girls trying to better their games. If you are lucky he might perform a song for you maybe Sad Eyes or Fade Away you twit.

maybe Bruce will play " If I Should Fall Behind" for this guy, since it's obviously what he is worried about.

I’ve seen his offense, definitely not Born to Run. I heard the Tribe is looking for someone to run their C Team. May want to want to keep your options open once the BOSS really finds out what’s going on over there. Parents run that team on and off the sidelines, glad we got far away from that mess.
Wanted to share the new 2G slogan here for some reasonable feedback before it drops on our social media accounts:

"we don't interfere with your club team, we make you the best kid on it"
The Boss might perform “Two Faces” for those parents , we know he can’t perform “Glory Days “because that team never had any .
Not nice! Why are you a skewering a lower level team coach because your kids aren’t A Team players? When does it become you and your kids fault? Your kids have below average stick skills and have never beat a good team team, but it’s now the coaches fault?

I’m by no means someone who smokes the Jabroni Pony, but at least have some accountability for the mess you all created.

Scrimmages do not coun, tournaments are all that count.
It was a league game, not a scrimmage...but whatever. Enjoy your rankings. Better print, cut and put on your fridge now because that is the only time you'll ever see a ranking that looks like that. Lol.

First Lomo beats TG by 2 when TG had all their top girls; now friday Janelli will beat them as well. So basically if TG and YJ merged the 2025 group then TG/YJ would be the D team. For now we can just say you are the 4th best team on long island behind YJ, YJ, and another YJ.

got to have new players & make sure no one is complacent.
Is Legacy white a made up team? Why is it no one has ever heard of them or played them?

Yup, made up just like everything else on this site.
Exactly
Schedule has been great and everyone playing tight games. That’s all you want in a league.....last week TG tied Ramos the 2024 B team and this week they lost to the 2025 B team. Ramos tied Tribe and Tribe smoked TG. They’re 13 and 14 year old kids. Good nights and bad nights.......you want to talk rankings....it’s spallina and everyone else. Spallina beats 2025 team by 15 goals. After that there’s probably 3-4 teams that could beat one another on any given night. Just relax and enjoy the ride.
Legacy has 2 teams at 2025 age.
Easy Spallina. Where have you been? Why don’t you come out and play? We are waiting for you.
Has anyone ever played them?
Top Guns looked awful, now I know why the Smiths go to great lengths to hide them. On the the upside at least their parents are civilized unlike those Yellow Jacket half breeds who should hire Ubers to get their kids home safe after what I saw tonight.

Spalina has the only girls who can actually catch and throw in this grade. Are they that good, or are the just the best of the worst?
Like your mom?
Definitely a rude awakening for TG this fall.....they always play in the toughest brackets down in Maryland so this will light a fire for sure. Lomo and Janelli outplayed them. No excuses. As far as the parent that wants a piece of spallina. Be careful what you wish for. Different animal. You mentioned why they don’t play anyone, it’s bc they’re playing HS teams. Sometimes you just have to give teams credit. They are the best 2025 team in the country.
Playing high school teams isn’t as big a feat as one would think. All of us have played high school teams. Relax yourself. Also - didn’t tribe tie spallina this summer? 🤫🤫🤫
I say this with no sarcasm, You’re right....these teams deserve a shot at them. Personally I don’t think the games would be close, and I’m not a spallina parent, but it can’t hurt to play
[quote=Anonymous]Playing high school teams isn’t as big a feat as one would think. All of us have played high school teams. Relax yourself. Also - didn’t tribe tie spallina this summer? 🤫🤫🤫[/

SPallina won’t waste his time beating teams his own age.

No, Spallina won't risk losing to teams the same age here on LI. Bad for business.
Exactly. So instead he resorts to playing low level 24s and supposed “high school teams”. Everyone grows up and after the looks of them this summer ... girls are catching up ...

JS did the same thing the the Bandits when they turned out to not be the "Superstar" team he was marketing. Play weaker, older teams this way he could say they were "playing up" when in fact they were ducking on grade competition. The proof is when he couldn't get that done and the Bandits played top teams on-grade, the Bandits occasionally lost. The Bandits don't lose often and I don't think YJ would either but they will occasionally lose and then he'd have less to promote. Even the best teams have a bad day or a bad showing. With Crush, that never happened and JS would play anyone. It goes to show you when you dig through all the hype to the truth, buried all the way deep down, he's not incredibly confident in the team. Just like the Bandits. Are the YJ the best 2025 team on Long Island? Absolutely. Are they beatable? Absolutely.
Spallina definitely tops. Gap has narrowed though. Frankly I really don't care where , when or who his team plays. Irrelevant to my daughter's team.

NFW, he beats Lomo & Jabroni by five playing man down all game, throw Slop Guns in that mix as well.

Now his schedule this weekend is light as can be, but I don't think he's ducking anyone there just isn't anyone good at that event.

What's with Swarm & Venom changing names? In the case of Venom its her whole team and clearly she's coaching it?
Spallina never played Lomo. He refuses. Fake news.
Why doesn’t the YJ organization play in The Chesapeake Invitational? That’s probably the strongest competition per pool play.
Teams. from the. same. club should never play each other ever

we recently had. this discussion. and honestly they have not lost a game on age in almost three years! Whatever and however they do it it seems to work. Think. our team within the same. club should follow the same path instead of these ridiculous make believe money grab tournaments

So this discussion made me look and Here is one thing I know about his teams they don't lose or have not in years. Looking on USclub lax neither team YJ or 91 has lost for a game for as long as they have records which is crazy. For a long time I wanted my daughter on his team seeing how they train and the model he has used that is obviously successful but she is in a place where her game can grow. and. around players closer to her calibur. Think the model they use of more practicing and less CR money grabs makes for better players and wish more. did.

Looking on USclub lax neither team YJ or 91 has lost for a game for as long as they have records which is crazy. For a long time I wanted my daughter on his team seeing how they train and the model he has used that is obviously successful but she is in a place where her game can grow. and. around players closer to her calibur. Think the model they use of more practicing and less CR money grabs makes for better players and wish more. did.

Have said this exact thing for so long. These kids Need more practice time and less games and fake tournaments that reinforce bad habits. Problem is clubs don’t make money on practices

JS did the same thing the the Bandits when they turned out to not be the "Superstar" team he was marketing. Play weaker, older teams this way he could say they were "playing up" when in fact they were ducking on grade competition. The proof is when he couldn't get that done and the Bandits played top teams on-grade, the Bandits occasionally lost. The Bandits don't lose often and I don't think YJ would either but they will occasionally lose and then he'd have less to promote. Even the best teams have a bad day or a bad showing. With Crush, that never happened and JS would play anyone. It goes to show you when you dig through all the hype to the truth, buried all the way deep down, he's not incredibly confident in the team. Just like the Bandits. Are the YJ the best 2025 team on Long Island? Absolutely. Are they beatable? Absolutely.

Don’t say this much here but I agree fully with that
These internal YJ 7v7 tournaments are a joke. Thrown together so program can claim you got your money's worth, laugh.

Agree they are a joke. Should not be charging for these tournaments that are 90% YJ.
Can’t really say Spallina hasn’t lost in a while, Normally YJ doesn’t travel down to MD in the fall, and Covid kill spring and summer season. I do believe Spallina lost at Lax for the Cure against Hero’s green.

As I said, excellent, but beatable. Thats why they'll never even scrimmage Lomo.

Let’s at least be honest here Lomo can barely get by Janelli in fact they sometimes don’t So yes they don’t scrimmage lomo because A teams don’t play C teams. My daughter plays TG but you YJ dads need to come to grips that IF your kid was an A player they would be on A team instead of these epic battles with Janelli trying to see who the B team is and who the C team is So in a few years when college coaches start watching the B and C teams are on field 28 playing other B and C teams with D3 coaches watching. Hey your probably right your teams may be better than us but we’ll always be in top brackets as an A team w TG
Is this the same Lomo team that went to Maryland last year and got smoked by MND, hero’s, and skywalkers
Great point.....TG parent here. Janelli out played TG, deserved to win. Lomo not so much. Up 4-1 at half and coach made a personnel change and the momentum totally flipped. But you guys have bragging rights......would much rather go to Maryland and play the best teams in the country with TG.
Same TG parent here.....was much more impressed with Janelli than Lomo. I know they always play great games down to the wire and Lomo always wins, but From what I saw, Janelli was the better team.
Lomo parent saying spallina afraid to play them....these people are delusional. Ignorance is bliss!

Lomo always wins. Janelli has better talent depth, but lacks the sack to upset his fanboys and risk having to pay for his own drinks in MD all summer. When we play him we always marvel at his curious personnel decisions allowing us to climb back into the game. Should be a big B vs. C showdown tomorrow night, but we all know how it always ends. Lomo has the coaching along with far superior goalie play, and Janelli is worrying about how not to lose rather than winning the game.

Oh and to Top Guns, it doesn’t matter what bracket you are in or what coaches are watching your kids, if you can’t throw and catch it doesn’t really matter.
See what happens when groups of individuals try to compete with a TEAM!!!
when you say "TG parent here" you're telling everyone you're definitely NOT a TG parent. just FYI. And I thing we've confirmed here the correct abbreviation is SG - SLOP Guns
Lol...bitter TG Dad... Lomo Dad here not too concerned what label you throw on our team. Yes, we are behind Spallina, as is the rest of the country, and they happen to be in our own organization, but beyond that pretty confident our girls will be competitive vs. any team they will play against in this age group from anywhere. Good team, good people, good coaching. Period. Clearly you are stunk into thinking this is your daughters college platform. Joke is on you then. Poor girl. If there are two cars at the game I can see her running for Mom's car after the game not to get stuck with you and your critique on the way back to the Great South Bay. Lighten up Francis!
Thanks "TG Parent" for attempting to stir the pot between lomo and Janelli. Both are good teams and have good coaches and respect each other. I'm sure it will be another tight game tonight. the cream rose...again...despite all your disparaging remarks throughout this fall season.
So let me get this straight.....you guys barely beat Janelli every time you play them....you are down 4-1 at half to TG.....and you think you can hang with spallina.

You rip Janelli, you think TG stinks and you think you can hang with spallina. What planet are you from? You have to comeback down by 3 to TG and they can’t catch and throw? TG had an awful fall, but their coach does the right thing. They played really sloppy but you guys got the W. Congrats......it’s just crazy how delusional you are. You would think by your comments that you beat Janelli and TG by 10 goals.

With no mention of how they barely got by a pick up team twice in one week? Did they let you hand pick your schedule?
Not sure what planet you are on but on this planet a W is a W and L is an L. Who cares what the score is at half. The only whistle that counts is the one at the end of the game. I think we all would agree...?
You are 100% correct! It's just the way you guys overrate yourselves. Great team for sure.....but to say TG stinks etc and to constantly rip Janelli is a little much. I would say if TG was that bad the score would be a little more lopsided. Win with a little class. If you beat an awful team by 2 goals that you had to comeback to beat, where does that put you guys?
So TG stinks and Lomo and Janelli are little better than sucking....congrats!
Funny, two weeks ago 2G was the belle of the ball... No one on Lomo is saying they would beat Spallina. No one on Lomo is looking down their noses at Janelli, only at TG, 2g and Tribe... Can't wait for these ridiculous 10:00pm start games to be over with after tonight.
So now you’re looking down at 2g and Tribe? LOL. TG is in good company.
It was a joke... As I said previously lighten up Francis. You can come and attack again tomorrow if Janelli beats Lomo tonight and I can promise you I won't be on here pounding my chest or making any statements about our team if we win.
Should be a very good game tonight, but these two teams are just bitter for some reason instead of enjoying a healthy rivalry. I really believe it’s Spalina jealousy and C Team fear.

They fire shots at each other and try to stir trouble up with each other’s teams with fake posts which leave people pointing fingers at each other. You should all watch the Social Dilemma. It’s not very hard to impact thoughts and opinions with a few well placed pieces of BS that sheep take as gospel because they saw it on the internet.

"far superior goalie play"????

Take it easy goalie dad.
Doesn't seem like Lomo parent wrote this given that there are two Lomo players on Tribe. No one who knows what Tribe is about is worried about Tribe, and certainly should not be "looking down their noses". It is just a tourney team put together to get girls more practice during really difficult times when their club teams were not able to attend tournaments. Tribe has girls from: YJ Wiener, Kildare, Ramos, Spallina, Lomo. Legacy 24, Elevate 24 Blue, and Jesters 24 Black. Silly that Tribe is even in this 25 thread, or any thread. They are not a town team or a club team. Just a great group of girls who want to play more who have a parents who are friends (yes, it IS possible for parents of girls the same age from different LI club teams to actually be friends), and who put this team together. Go back to enjoying your girls and watching them play.

Telling that you didn’t argue the coaching point or any of the other inflammatory ramblings in that post.
Lomo's goalie is 'far superior' to pretty much all goalies her age, the kid deserves her due and is just on another level, jedi-like reflexes. keep your feet moving across the cage tonight jabroni ponies!
Jedi Like! Ahh, good is she.

Big Game who will be B and who will be C!! you people are clowns
Right. I bet JS is ringing your phone twice a week, begging for her to come down.
Who won the BvC championship tonight
Being played right now. Should be a classic.
Venom = Lomo = YJ C
Held to ONE goal! So much for that huge goalie advantage!! Or maybe you couldn’t catch and pass tonight like TG?
Or maybe “Jabroni” out coached Lomo?
Are those sausage finger Jabroni parents posting from the bleachers, really? Maybe enjoy the moment with your kid like you enjoy your domestic cars and cheap canned beer. Instead of worrying about beating Lomo worry about covering your in-ground pool this weekend or deciding whether you should take your Christmas lights down or just leave them up at this point.

No wonder Lomo chooses the Venom name over YJ to avoid white trash by association.

Lomo? More like “Lame-O”
Wow....this loss really hit a nerve! Great thing about sports, you can’t buy wins. So enjoy your fancy cars, huge pool and your mansion, but don’t forget to tell your golf buddies that your daughter plays on a C team.

How long did it take you to come up with that zinger? I bet you giggled to yourself as you typed it.
Janelli must be doing something right....championship in the summer and the fall. His kids come to play in big games. Sign of a great coach!

Settle down Fanboy
So how much popcorn are we going to need for today? I need to prepare.
Lomo (YJ C) parents are so used to getting what they want....I’m going to sit back and enjoy this one. It’s only a game guys. Don’t take it out on your landscapers and house cleaners. They had nothing to do with your daughters scoring ONE goal in FIFTY minutes. Relax!
With all this extra traffic the site should really work on some targeted adds for its clientele. Maybe male enhancement for the Lame-O crew, an intro to social etiquette course for the Jabroni’s, and definitely a basic stick skill clinic for Slop Guns.
Congrats Janelli team on breaking through. Got the 50/50 GB's, goalie made more stops. Lomo shot poorly and made some bad decisions with the ball. Good game. I'm sure we'll meet again. No hiding. We are the "C" team in the org for now. Have at it haters.

A W is a W, but that game (4-1) looked like playing not to lose to someone's earlier point. Every other team we played this season scored at least double that including a pick-up team (twice) and a 2026 Team. Not much to say, it worked tonight but both these teams have some things to tighten up if they expect to compete at a national level.
Sloppy game....good defense. 1 goal is unacceptable, but Janelli deserved to win. Congrats!
You guys should compete at a national level.....in the C brackets.
The attack on that team is weak. I think that team needs a few attackers that can play.
One of the previous posts sounds like it may be a pick up team coach!
Lomo Dad here, still being nice. Congrats on breaking through. I'm sure it was a very satisfying win. Enjoy it. We'll take the C level darts. All good. Still happy with what we have. Record still tilts in our favor. Same organization. The opposing coaches get along just fine with each other. Hope for the best for both of us as I think any parent from either side would agree both teams are on the same level, exactly where that fits in nationally, hopefully we'll be able to ascertain this Spring and Summer. All good. Look forward to the next matchup and the end of 10:00PM games. smile

Complete thoughts please
What team are you referring to that has a weak attack? If Lomo, arguably their best attacker has been out with an injury. Clearly no excuse for team loss was cited previously, nor now, just a statement. And, acknowledged an attack unit consists of more than one player...

one goal in a full game lol
Just seeing all this......went back and saw all the posts from Lomo when they beat us all those times. Classless. Let’s take the high road and not get involved with this.

Goalie dad is busy blaming the team right now. When things are good, its outstanding goalie play but when they're bad it is the teams fault. Such a prize.
Yeah, tough night.
Looking forward to the 2025 yellow jacket club Christmas Party
It will be out of the bed of a jacked pickup truck at a Days Inn parking lot in Coram with bud cans all around.
you had me at bud cans.
I was at the Lomo v Janelli game. There was no animosity from either side in the crowd and in fact some of the parents seemed to know each other and were friendly. This is all fake news from trouble starters who don’t realize that you may end up hurting a kid because someone thinks all this garbage is true. Even if it’s funny these anonymous comments can do real damage to a team.

Trust me neither team wants to be the C team

Sounds like you don't want to be on the C team. Let your kid play and stay out of it.
Who cares.....they both smoked TG A team.
Let’s be realistic, those aren’t typical B/C teams. Spallina has the best 2025 team in the nation so obviously there is tremendous depth in that grade which makes Janelli a very strong team. Lomo was an A team for Elevate. It’s fair to say both of these teams have A level talent for an overwhelming amount of clubs nationwide. Probably 3-4 clubs they are B teams.
I would absolutely agree. Nothing wrong with a healthy rivalry as both teams play to win and offer each other great competition...especially being that few other teams do that for them, at least locally that is. The parents sat side-by-side and offered no ill-will toward each other. Those trying to stir the pot are obviously outsiders who have no stake in the game. The assumption that because it was a low scoring game that the play was sloppy is just that...an assumption, and totally off the mark. Watch the film and learn a few things from these 2025 girls who compete at a high level no matter the opponent with speed, great lacrosse IQ, a strong defense and outstanding goalie play. Play between these two teams only make each other stronger and better competitors. Tearing into either team is unwarranted and of no basis.
I see the might YJ 2025 Spallina is playing under the Swarm nickname at Live Love Lax. Why? are they afraid to lose?

Is this like the "2022 Swarm Blue" playing this weekend at Prime Time?
Swarm(Spalina) played up again this weekend and won every game by double digits? What more do you want them to do? Other teams mentioned here played 26 teams and others didn’t play at all. They aren’t ducking anyone.

They may be B/C teams, but they're both still top 5 on the island.

I'll digress - Most B teams are scraps that club directors figure they can make a few bucks on, add below average players to over the winter when they keep a team with 12 kids, or slap a combined 24/25 squad together from the girls they cut and make their portions for the year providing half-Meanylax to these poor people for the cost of the same A team experience. As long as people throw money at these clubs, there will be monstrosities of teams that can barely (can't) catch and throw b/c they want to slap a MY KID PLAYS FOR {insert "ELITE" lax team here} and tell their friends how wasted they got in MD the weekend before and danced on the table at Shoney's later that night with the hostess. On election day of all days, we as a collective long island need to wise up and actually be consumers of a product (travel lax), rather than reliving your glory days when you played against Pat McCabe in a summer league game in Huntington back in '98 and "I swear I yard-saled him on the clear." through your kids.
Hello All
I think that Janelli would have played up this weekend. They played older teams in the fall league. That would have been better than watching what they did to my daughters team.

Wait - you yardsaled McCabe too? FML I thought I was the only one.
I remember that play. You were running back to pick up your stick which he had just helicoptered from you and you collided. Was really funny. It was at Cantiague Park in Hicksville, not Huntington.
Do the Jabroni parents run this site? They have the collective IQ of Trumps Covid Task force.

Yeah, it totally hurt like heck and I still have a limp from it but the scar is cool. It was so worth it.
I know who you are now! The limp guy. Leg that is... Always see you hobbling from one end of the field to the other to be on the defensive side of the field that your daughter plays on.
TG black had a respectable weekend after an embarrassing fall. Beat Pride and CC and lost to Skywalkers by 2.

That's a big turn around for Slop Guns. What changed?

They would still be the the YJ D team behind Jabroni & Lame-O

Thanks for your sophomoric detest spewing negativity. Really value added.
Unfortunately we will never find out, because Janelli and Lomo play in B and C brackets. Congrats on your fall league victories! Would much rather go down to Maryland and beat / compete with the nations top programs.
Easy Now

You had your chance and the results ........
Can't wait for 12 vs 12 lacrosse. Don't want to quarantine when we get home from games.

Makes sense why you guys were hiding out all these years. Losing to local B & C teams is bad for business. Losing to top teams in Maryland is explainable and your parents won’t jump ship.

More like the E Team with Galvin knocking off Jabroni’s backups today in more YJ on YJ kiss your sister action. Could definitely see some kids switching rosters next year.

Jabroni's back ups? where was this
The games were on small patches of grass at Mitchell Field. 7v7. To call them games is slightly ridiculous when the goalies could shoot and score from their own goals... Both lomo and Janelli split their rosters into two teams. Lamo went 7-1 and Janelli 6-2. Changes nothing...
That’s hilarious. Teams only played 4 games each. Love the inflated records. Great tournament. Well run

Did you read? He/She said teams spilt into 2 team. So here is a little math, 4*2 = 8.
Not even four games. One game was about 10 minutes. But I'm sure you will count that as a game.

Listen both of those teams are fine. Move on and worry about the team that you play for because there must be some major problems there if you need to come here and stir the pot!!!!

If they put these two teams together and made one team they would be a very solid team
"That’s hilarious. Teams only played 4 games each. Love the inflated records. Great tournament. Well run"

OMG..this guy/gal is a box of rocks. Thank you someone for explaining the math to them. Hater...just looking for anything to pounce on and stir the pot. Were the teams hiding this weekend of in some lower bracket?? Common, what can you come up with? As for not travelling to MD, ask CR about that for all YJ teams.

Go sit in a corner with a pointy hat and face the wall lost...

Makes sense why you guys were hiding out all these years. Losing to local B & C teams is bad for business. Losing to top teams in Maryland is explainable and your parents won’t jump ship.

Hiding out? We competed with the best of the best today while Janelli is playing PAL teams in 7 v 7s. It’s all about getting better every day at this age and playing with yourself in your own “tournaments” while perfecting your single wing offense is not going to get it done.
Wait is this the same Top Guns team that played in the fall league?

If it is..... you should stop now. Check the scores from the league.
Go get a Covid test and stay home for a few weeks.
A few of your best players are looking to JUMP . The owner had to make all kinds of promises to keep them around including doing the coaching. Come on over to Janelli while you can the future is bright!
So, it really is a Janelli parent trolling this site...wheel of venom...where will it stop...TG, Lomo, Spallina, 91...jeez, let it go. All teams will change, have turnover, consolidate, have disgruntled parents-too many tournaments/practices or not enough; playing time, positioning, platoon goalie, roster size, offense, defense, playing to win, recruiting.

Seriously, step back. If you know so much start your own team. There are very few girls that are acidic and poisonous to their teams but there are many parents that are...Is your daughter complaining, whining, be ah ching-or is she really more in touch with her relevant standing and skill level on the team than you are? Are you telling her to practice, work and play more or is she asking you for it? Look in the mirror vicariously living moms...don't ruin your daughters experience. This is supposed to be fun and yes, winning is definitely more fun than losing, but if you care more than her, well, she don't want to be following the path you are trying to lay. Whether its TG, Jan, Lom or insert team name, if your daughter is not a starter, this ride is almost over... enjoy it and support it until she becomes a cheerleader or groupie... back 11 of all above teams have 0 future in lacrosse so hopefully they at least have fun.

STRONG Opening for a Monday morning.... I'm in....let's buckle up! TG scores this weekend are eye opening, no doubt about it.
TG had a very good Sunday. They hung with some real good teams. I watched some of those fall league games and I thought everyone played poorly. Janelli and Lomo hang with the teams TG played yesterday. I don't know what it was in the fall league, but kids couldn't catch and throw. It was bizarre.
Are you serious about the back 11 having zero future in lacrosse or are you being sarcastic? What a terrible thig to say.......kids develop at all different times of their lives. Kids also make choices that are better for their skill set. You might have a kid who goes to MD who never plays and a kid who goes to Towson and is a 3x all american. And let's not forget about D2 and D3. Not every kid is going to play for a top 10 school and the ones that do don't always have a great experience.
TG owner never making promises to keep kids around. Not how she does business.
Unfortunately they lost all three games. Never heard a women coach curse so much.
They actually beat a great team (pride) too!
Sorry, I'll walk my comment back regarding the back 11 having no future. You are correct, kids develop at different rates and there are a wide range of collegiate programs for almost all skill levels to compete at if they are committed. I was referring more to the top 10 type programs that so many delusional parents aspire their daughters to receive a scholarship from.

Woman? That’s funny.
I was appalled at the SW 2022 coach Saturday during Mid Atlantic dropping F bomb screaming at players. We were horrified for those girls. Male coach was screaming & cursing I was embarrassed for him. It was so bad the ref almost ejected him. Shame on those parents tolerating that behavior just for bragging rights. BTW, we beat them but we were all speechless at male coaches abusive behavior.
Why is a SW 2022 post on this 2025 page????

Transitive property of animal lacrosse coaches - TG coach is screaming at my kid therefore at least she's not the SW 2022 coach who is more of any animal than my kid's coach. I think this theory was first put forth by Newton if I recall correctly. Liltte know fact - he was a longstick middie back in the day....
Has Spallina 2025 played 2025 teams in the last year. I've noticed that they try to play up a division and play the weaker 2024 teams. Is that Spallina goto move, dominating c/d level teams and posting it to his social media.

This has already been covered here on pages 12 -15 or so. Leave the King of LI Lax alone, he doesn't play 2025 teams because they can't compete with his squad, save for M&D / SW / Hero's

Sure is! Hahaha
They played in a 2025 division a couple of weeks ago in NJ. Played legit 25's and went 3-0.

Whatever his go to move is wish our team would use it. As much as it pains me to say they are far and away the best team in class and even further the best on the Island
TG doesn’t deserve a shot at Spallina after the fall league, but after the past 2 weekends in Maryland that might change. After Beating Pride (pride tied M&D), losing to M&D by 2, and Hero’s by 3 it might be time for Spallina to give them a shot.
Has TG offered to play Spallina outside of a tourney setting and he turned them down? It seems when they do enter the same tournaments they never play each other in playoffs. YJ always ends up playing M&D or Heroes for championship.
The only team to ever beat Spallina was Hero's. The dominate their age bracket.

Slop Guns should try to beat Jabroni & Lame-O first before they start calling out Spalina.

Spalina beats Jabroni by double digits even with that new roster he poached.

Lame-O beating is probably worse.

No one is ducking any of these teams.
Corona tops all! Any LI team going to NJ this weekend for Lax For Cure tournament is nuts! NJ Case’s exploding and the weekend before Thanksgiving! Good luck to you! God bless sane directors/ coaches that appreciate the situation and for go the $
The fall league was a disaster......everyone played like garbage. I haven’t see the kids make so many drops since 3rd grade. TG went toe to toe with M&D, Hero’s and they beat Pride. They should play Janelli, Lomo and Spallina. What’s the worst that can happen?

I guess your team lost!
Stop already word is some of your best players are looking to make a move. Better do it before it is too late and you are stuck there.

I like the the long term upside of playing against the best competition in the country vs. playing and losing to your own D team in 7 v 7s and dominating school teams in that trash indoor league you are hiding out in this year.

Let’s see where each approach gets these teams to next time they play.

I think it’s you who should be worried about kids bailing from the “word” I hear.
I wouldn't say Spallina team is dominate. They are good, win are very well coached. They have been beaten by Hero's and M&D in the past. Will be interesting to see how the team does in the future with developing talent from Roster spot 1 to roster spot 25 when it goes from tourney style to showcase style. They seem to be a little bit top heavy and Coach Spallina doesn't play his full roster in tight games against Hero's and MND.

They have lost like one game in three years. Obviously every team is beatable but tip your cap and move one MD beat them three years ago

That top heavy rumor is so old.

Those kids who don’t play would be studs on every other local team. And at least they know how to play based on superior coaching. Poor and outdated coaching at this age can do more damage than lack of playing time.

The top heavy garbage is just something the B team parents say to make themselves feel better about their situation.

My daughter is not on the top team and I think that kinky applys to bottom 2/3 players and the top 2/3 players on lower teams.
Hard for Spallina to lose, when they haven’t played any Maryland teams in 18 months. Love the 3 year remark.
I'm a Dad from Lomo. Why would you possibly analyze the Spallina team? They are great. The parents know the philosophy and what they are getting. Their choice to be on the team knowing the coach may only play13 girls and 6 sit. Not your problem. To each their own. Let it go. Plenty of talent spread across many teams on LI. Probably 50 girls from LI will eventually go D1, if not more, and not all from that team. Too funny. Get a life. Hopefully your daughter enjoys playing with her friends and gets good coaching and listens to the coaches and not the helicopter parents.
Lomo dad - you nailed it. Great post! Only thing I’ve heard, and it’s still the preference of the Spallina parent, is that Spallina rarely makes practices / tournaments. It’s hard to say they are well coached when he’s not there. I know you didn’t claim that, but others who posted did.
Somehow he's always there for the championship photo-op for his social media account.

They are practicing at SB and he is at everything the past few years when the kids were younger he was not there often but that is not the case anymore. I think it is great for the age group and my daughters team has been invited to practice as well. Every parent for every team knows what they are getting in their situation To each his own

Slop Guns lmao Trutgh is Lomo beat TG by 4-5 goals
Lacrosse Magazine just ranked YJ No 1 in the 2025 division. Wonder who they played in the 25 bracket to earn that.
How long before the King of LI posts it on his Instagram page?
Why wouldn't he? You think any other program no matter what age/boys/girls wouldn't post that??

Would say he probably won’t I think it’s probably an expectation not a goal Keep checking tho lmao use the same energy you you use to detest on here towards your daughter and sky’s the limit My suggestion would be for you to use it as motivation to your daughter instead of the jealous daddy it works for me Happy thanksgiving to all

They all try to poach from one another. This is the last push. After this year the kids usually stay. Jesters doing a great job of recruiting. They will take full teams! The 2023 YJ team is half Igloo. Tough business.

There are 8 or 9 former igloo players in YJ Thorn/Colbert roster out of 24.
They should’ve taken more Colbert girls. They always crushed Thorn.

Last year of this type stuff then it’s about kids getting recruited not as many care who wins I agree igloo was better

Again you need to be corrected. Igloo won nationals by a point and the following year yj won. This is a 2025 thread.
The Igloo team beat Thorn 5 straight before losing a 1 goal game to Thorn. Igloo had a few studs but Thorn was deeper; now that they combined into one super team they apparently are pretty good lol. hence the #1 ranking.
however can we end the 23 talk; this is a 25 chat.
And right now in 25 it’s fair to say YJ has the top 3 teams on long island and TG is a close 4th.
It's comical that some people think YJ Spallina is not the top 2025 team. By far the best team on LI in this age group, top 3 team in the country.....with JS now turning his attention to this team, his boys teams not demanding his constant attention, they are only getting better. The top college programs will be knocking down this teams door when the time comes. IQ and stick skills on another level. JS coaching connections going to benefit this group as well.........
Do you people really care that much who has a better 8th grade girls team. It’s about getting better and getting recruited

Just like every YJ team before them, top team on LI, top 5 in nation, the top 10 players on the team can chose wherever they want to play. But the college coach connection goes through CR not JS. And good thing, as mentioned above, not well liked.

Believe it when I see it but I know they are talking w top kids on YJ 2nd team
You really think YJ B teams will leave? Isn’t it getting kind of late? I also noticed that YJ D1commits run 40-45 deep. I’m sure they have multiple B level players that play high level D1. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I think it’s an interesting debate and a tough decision for a player / parent.
I don’t think anyone denies that Spallina is the top 2025 team in the country / Long Island. I just think kids / coaches and parents would enjoy playing them. What’s the big deal? Spallina beats Lomo, TG and Janelli by 15 goals. Who cares. Move on. Just play the games. It would be great for Spallina kids too. Let them show their stuff to everyone in their grade.
What kind of moves?

I don’t think those four girls she’s “training” this weekend will jump ship. All talk and positioning.
Everyone looking for their final home before HS starts. Someone said that YJ Janelli / Lomo girls will start leaving to get on A teams for recruiting purposes. Not sure if that’s true. You see how many D1 kids YJ has? They have 45-50 kids! So they go well into B team. I don’t consider them having a C team. Those are 2 B teams. Interesting to see what happens in the Nxt 6 months.
Is that the same four that jumped last year from another team?

Slop Guns should try to beat Jabroni & Lame-O first before they start calling out Spalina.

Spalina beats Jabroni by double digits even with that new roster he poached.

I'd love to hear more about this and where your inside baseball info comes from. Seems more like a disgruntled dad who has something to gain from "these four" leaving than anyone with some actual insight into the situation. Maybe you should get a stick in your kid's hand a bit more, or just let her stick with field hockey and be done with it.
Interesting to say the least. I guess we’ll see what happens. Btw YJ Spalina team is ranked #1 2025 team.

TG will grab kids from Janelli and LOmo opportunity to be on an A team BC kids won’t get enough looks from Top schools


Don’t be so sure TG is grabbing anyone and don’t let the fall league foul you. They had a good fall.
No doubt in my mind some parents will move their kids laterally...yawn. Some legitimate reasons, practice locale too far, no local friends on the team, too many from one town. The delusions are daughter is too good for the team, x team is marginally better, coach doesn't see the talent I see in my kid. Good luck. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out...

Makes one team better while taking from a competitor
Stop...they are lateral moves and others will fill their void...likely improving chemistry along the way. Grass is grass on either side of the fence. Everyone knows TG best girl is leaving, a few from Lomo and Janelli. And in some cases addition by subtraction. A tired, overplayed girl with uber pressure is a falling star...
Great post and so true.....ultimately I would leave it up to my kid. My only suggestions to my children when it comes to club teams and college is one thing....go to a place where you can play. Who wants to travel to MD in July to watch other kids play? I know a lot of people say you have to work harder and beat that kid out, but sometimes it’s not realistic. The journey ends when you’re 22. Get on the field! Build relationships and most importantly, earn your degree. Don’t worry about divisions. No one making millions playing lax. The most an overwhelming majority will make is 75 bucks for a private lax session.
Not sure who you mean with the best girl leaving. They don’t have one dominant player. I saw them 2 times this fall and my daughters friend plays on the team. They got some good players but no one looked like a freak.
What position does she play?
Midfield.
TG parent here......if you asked 6 parents who the best middie on the team is, you would probably get 6 different answers. Same with attack and defense. It’s a very balanced team. They’ve had players so many different players step up in different games. Either way, I hope we don’t lose a great player.
WHAT A WEEKEND!! SS training 4 of the top girls from YJ hoping to get them to come to TG, and TG best player is leaving? Kids move around all the time.....SS training the YJ kids is a little far fetched.
Why is it far fetched. She was the best women’s player ever hands down

SS is definitely one of the best players of all time. I just find it hard to believe that a D1 college coach, who’s one of the all time greats would be sneaking around trying to poach 13 year old girls. But you could be right....anything goes in the world of youth sports!
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Shannon Smith train some Janelli girls at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Bunch of sheep, go tear your teams apart looking for the mole while the whole time it’s some keyboard cowboy attacking your team’s insecurities and inadequacies.
Thanks for clearing that up! The rumors are going to always be there. Sad thing is when coaches bring over a group of girls and they all make the team or they all start even though they all don’t deserve it. Happens all the time. If that Janelli crew goes to TG they will all walk into starting positions. No questions asked. Happens at every program. They bring whole teams over and throw the leftovers on the lower levels.
Best player of all time? Could be an argument who best WB player was. Some good ones from WB. Appuzzo and smith both tewarten winners.

Not taking anything away from the other players listed but Shannon has almost 150 more career points than either Ortega and 200 more than Hoeg. She definitely doesn’t need anyone on here defending her but maybe you should read up on her accomplishments at litopguns.com.

Look no further than the artist formerly know as 91 Orange Fury -> Jesters AA; friends and family deals abound.

91 still has a girls program?

What happened to that really good 2025 team they had?

They all went to Jesters, seems like an odd choice.

You mean like when YJ 2020 Curcio picked up Belle Smith and those other Topguns girls or when YJ took that 2023 Igloo bunch that they could never beat. Didn’t YJ just add a 2027 team this way too.

I don’t recall seeing the TG program doing that but it seems to happen a lot with YJ
Some of the top players went to Janelli.
YJ probably does it more than anyone. I just think they all do it for the money and if they can get some good players. Even if that means taking some weak ones along for the ride.

And why did this turn into a debate about SS playing ability? I don’t think the post has anything to do with that.

Ummm you do realize that HOEG played (7 ) games as a senior before the season was canceled right ? She had 52 points in those games or 7.4 points per game. Assuming she played at that level through the season ( 14 additional games that’s an additional 103 points.surpassing Smith by 2 points.

Ortega played her freshman and sophomore year and 7 games in her junior year and trailed Smith by 119 points at that point. Ortega was averaging 6.4 points per game as a junior that’s 14 additional games at 6.4 per game or ( 89 more points ) which would have her 19 points behind Smith going into her senior year.

Apuzzo played only 10 games ( torn ACL ) as a freshman but still out scored Smith by 32 points by the end of her college career.

I surely hope you weren’t using High School Stats to pump up your Smith numbers.
There will be team hopping...Mom's rule the roost, not the girls. TG, YJ's. No one will be surprised, other than their daughter when Mom tells her who she will now be playing for...
Based on her HS stats, she’s the best player to ever leave Long Island. She had an outstanding lacrosse career at all levels as have all the others. Leave at that.

Welcome to the conversation Mr Hoeg! Come on in the water's luke warm!
Actually based on career HS stats, she was the best player to leave LI. They’ve all had amazing careers.

This is a 2025 thread so maybe in your free time you can start a LI Womens lax history thread and organize a poll of LI HS coaches who actually coached against all of these great players and ask their opinion of who they feared the most.
On the team with them at 91. They listen to the guy who will have his daughter on three or four teams in four years.
Not a good idea.

They got caught. (Now it will be quiet time)

Great kids

It really puts kids in a funny position with teammates. (three teams in three years)
Agreed.....parents will ruin it, but I blame the clubs too. The politics are insane. It hasn’t had an impact on my daughter (yet), but I can’t believe my eyes sometimes. Just so obvious.

Can you stop posting about the best player of all time? Who cares?!

Yes, if you read up on it on LI TopGuns website, she certainly would appear to be the best player ever to step on the field. They are selling a product and she is the pumped up face of it. Great player, but far from a complete player. Perhaps she deserves the title best ISO player ever. Yet at the height of her career, still couldn’t secure a spot on the national team. Would they really do that to the best player to ever step on the field?
Hi
I coach one of the Yellow Jacket teams in question. I spoke with four parents from my team and they swear that they are not going anywhere and have not even talked to anyone or trained (practiced ) with any other team. They reached out to me to talk. So maybe it is the other 2025 team. Happy Holidays and Everyone stay safe.

Maybe after their big workout, Shannon’s assessment of these girls was similar to the other three coaches and travel teams they played for in that they are ok but not better than who she has on her roster.

The parents will now have to figure out how to co-exist and not get kicked off their current team bc no one who moves teams that much would care if anything got out that they we’re considering leaving.

sounds like someone got caught and had to try to cover their tracks
I’m hearing Janelli and jesters trying to do some recruiting of their own. There will be movement between jesters, TG and Janelli this off season.

Speaking out loud to yourself doesn't constitute 'hearing things'
The lax whisperer has spoken...he/she seems to hear and say a lot. Gets confusing and hard to keep track of. Add in disinformation, misinformation, stirring the pot and undermining of people, coaches, programs and it is downright sinister! Game of Lax!
Party pooper!
Those 4 are leaving it is a done deal!! dad tells coach they are staying, but not a good fit for them.
Rankings came out for some of the age groups....jesters starting to make some noise. Couple of their teams are ranked.
where are rankings?
Everyone thinks they know about the “4 girls” - where are they going?

...So helpful...that cleared everything up. Thanks "Coach". I guarantee you no coach would be foolish enough to post on here or sadomastic enough to read this forum.

AND, neither Janelli nor Lomangino nor their assistants would post something like this pointing their finger to the other team (stirring the pot). Print your name if you want this to carry any legitimacy. Heck, you've already "spoken" with the 4 crazy moms/dads so they know who you are.

only 22s and 23 up now. 24-26s up tomorrow.

Major issues with the 23 rankings. For instance Elite Orange and Velocity Elite Orange, a middle tier midwest club are somehow combined. Some house teams from recruiting events are included and a few teams show up twice with different spellings of their name.

What positions do they play?

great kids and nice enough families for the most part, but pretty overrated in my exp. they may contribute time to time, but no way are they starters for anyone’s top team. not sure if they even all start on their current team, but def not worth all this attention
"great kids and nice enough families for the most part, but pretty overrated in my exp. they may contribute time to time, but no way are they starters for anyone’s top team. not sure if they even all start on their current team, but def not worth all this attention"

AWESOME! I bet every poster, reader, troll, parent or passive observer agrees with the above statement no matter what team their daughter plays for. Amen. (except for crazy mom's of poor remote controlled daughters being discussed anonymously and presumptively).
Judging by past experience YJ/TG normally shuffle the rosters some but hopefully, we don’t get the short end of it like the older teams.
SS is very experienced & knows this is typically the last year for real movement.
Like all coaches, SS is trying to improve her teams. She has gotten more involved with us which is Super exciting & it showed in MD
ZERO interest in adding 4 with headaches AND realizes they over HYPING themselves. If we lose a few girls we’ll fill in. BIZ as usual
Hopefully, everything works out for girls b.c. Jumping around must be hard; they need to be happy!

Jesters & Bandits are trying to make a big push but it’s probably too late for the 25s and they don’t really play any good Tourneys.

You may have “ZERO” interest, but your Director sure does based on the number of phone calls she’s made.

Get ready to play a game of lacrosse survivor with your daughter and her friends because these four will play and someone will be voted to the purple team.

TRUE

CR would never allow one of her coaches to post to this board and risk harming her brand. If that happened they wouldn’t be coaching for much longer and they all know that.
Why leave Janelli for Top Guns? The scores snd organization speak for themselves unless there is coaching problem? If four kids really want out there must be something up. Usually it’s driven by parent coaching/involvement, but that’s one of the few teams which is free of all that having a non parent coach so I’m surprised if that’s the case.

I would have guessed it’s Top Guns kids running to Janelli.
The Jablowme’s are very quiet these days. Between the rankings and four of your top girls about to jump ship it’s been a tough offseason. At least you are still the highest ranked C team in the country by far.

You can’t hide on the island and continually duck good teams and expect results. Spalina doesn’t.

Thank you angry vindictive elf. Got it. Please return to your own miserable life and pool of negativity. Holidays can be hard. Seek counseling if you need it.
Has anyone seen Spallina play? do they even exist?
You guys who keep calling out Spallina are the same ones who will be on here calling them bullies when they are beating you by double digits and don't call of the dogs....be careful what you wish for, they exist and they are legit

He’s got two kids rated 1st in their age group by lacrosse magazine.
They are not ranked 1st. It is a watch list. The order of the listing does not matter. His daughter is perhaps the 4th best player on his team. Nowhere near 1st in-the-age group.

Uh oh someone is a jealous helicopter parent lmao I personally Don’t think the team as good as many they are good not unbeatable but I will say this his daughter is by far the best on that team And one of the top 5 in the class who knows who is best their in 8th grade Pathetically enough daughters team resulted in face guarding her last time we played after she scored first four goals I Actually think in this class minus a few of YJ Spallina kids the majority of the Top talent is down here in Maryland Having an older daughter enjoy the ride trust me when I tell you which team is best fades fast in a few years Hopefully things clear up By summer to get back to normal

Jesters & Bandits are trying to make a big push but it’s probably too late for the 25s and they don’t really play any good Tourneys.

Get ready to play a game of lacrosse survivor with your daughter and her friends because these four will play and someone will be voted to the purple team.

You leave Janelli to go to TG an A team which is actually a B/C team or the 4th best team on LI That said the difference between TG Janelli and Lomo is very small Three good teams but Not top tier teams on any given day they can beat each other

This is very true No matter what happens Janelli and Lomo will not be In A brackets They will be in high B brackets because they are behind YJ Spallina TG good or bad will be in A brackets being top from their Organization

Please SS is a poacher just like everyone else in the travel business. That all want to b the best at any cost. She cannot even play her brother without a fight with him on the sideline when they have to play each other at her summer tournament because they get like three teams an age group.
Hysterical
CR is the queen bee in everything that is evil about travel lacrosse. I love all of you that are drinking her cool-aid! Has she built an absolute empire? Yes, but that has been at the cost of many young girls who she has mentally beat down. She was the original travel program on Long Island. She will take anyone's money and could care less about you unless you can help her win. She does it with YJ and with her HS team as well. To come here and throw stones at SS is not right when your director is the worst in the business. BTW, I thought this thread was for the 2025's, not which program is the most morally wrong?

Bayport kid is best on spallina team

Would imagine as a top team they will have many more on the list from that team. List will have 30 kids on it not 4. No one is first or last on a watch list. Congratulations to the kids who worked hard and make the list

Yes they are

Did you figure out which four are getting moved down yet? What about the four girls who are no longer going to start? What about the discounted tuition they got when you paid full price last year and got nothing? If you didn’t make the travel roster does that mean you are out? Better put that lofty ranking on FB before you get moved to purple.

Come on mom I’m not even on your team and it’s obvious something tells me and some others you may end up on our club sooner than later hope we are wrong and you stay YJ if they don’t toss you they must love you in that team woah. they are in 8th grade Stop your nonsense And enjoy the ride Think it is very funny how no one mentions Legacy which are every bit as good as TG and YJ B C

Your right. This thread is about 2025’s. But the usual bickering seems to sneak in to every thread...

Good luck playing on Purple without a goalie. I heard they were going to rotate the field players into the net. But yeah, the parents can still say their daughter plays for an 'elite' program. nonsense

Add Legacy Teal to that list also. Don't blame the programs they're just businesses trying to make money. Blame the sheep that keep throwing their disposable income at these clubs.

Club Director: "Hmmm. We have twenty kids that are really not good at lax and have no shot to play in HS nevermind college, but want to throw $3GER at me to make up a (B/Combined 25/26 Team). I think I'm going to turn that $60K to my program down and just let YJ make a F team*." Said no one ever.

*also YJ already has an F team it's called Galvin, and yes I know there's no D or E team.

Legacy is good, would like to see them play some better teams consistently to see where they really stand.....

It would have been done already had they not gotten caught.

Did they get punished? No they got offered a better deal to stay and a input on a forthcoming coaching change.
If there are kids and families that want to play travel lacrosse and learn some skills why should the clubs turn them away? Are you saying if a 2025 kid isn’t that good they will never be good or improve? It seems quite conceited and obtuse to say that.
Remember that kids improve quickly with proper training and motivation and if their families have the means and the desire to play there should be an opportunity to do just that.
Better deal to stay!! What a joke! Considering leaving a club because your kid isn’t good enough to make the A team and going to another club just to do so instead of encouraging your kid to work hard and make the A team on their current club is a joke. Amazing parenting going on here, Don’t work hard honey, those mean kids are better than you but we will take our B/C level talents and just find another place for you to be the best, or better yet we will start our own team... These are the same parents whose kids fail algebra and they call the principal and blame the teacher!!!
Exactly what 2023 Legacy girls did
Has Lomo posted an ad for a draw girl yet????

Yeah definitely. Let’s stay on a B team where most coaches don’t care and only show up for a paycheck. Let’s stay on a B team where the club doesn’t care about us and puts us in garbage tournaments. Let’s stay on the B team where we have a new coach every couple of years. Let’s stay on a B team where we pay the same amount of money as the A team but get half the stuff. Bottom line is these bigger clubs don’t care about their second teams. If they did, more kids and parents would stay

I disagree on the negativity towards B or C teams.
Exactly why you were not offered a better deal! Stop your nonsense about being given input on a new coach and what you were given to stay. Nobody gave you anything. Nobody cares about your kid and what you think they have to offer. If you really cared about her development you’d be telling her to get on the wall instead of posting inflammatory nonsense all day.
You may have “ZERO” interest, but your Director sure does based on the number of phone calls she’s made.

No dog in this fight and no kids at YJ. It is well known most B teams in big clubs get shafted. It's not a secret except to the parents on the B team. They figure it out though.
*also YJ already has an F team it's called Galvin, and yes I know there's no D or E team.[/quote]

Galvin beat Janelli professor alphabet[/quote]

Every blind squirrel finds a nut now and then, especially in a nonsensical 7v7 play day format when you load up your team with your best kids against jabronis worse half. If that's your claim to fame, professor alphabet has assignment for you, find a new team. Jabroni -12.5 in a real game, and that's because they lay off you at the end because you're the F team.
Wow, I am not a YJ parent, but as an outsider looking in the amount of animonsity between each level team is insane. Why do you guys love to non stop insult each other. You are living through your daughters club lacrosse team and bullying each other through online chats. and you wonder why the YJ brand is not well liked throughout the lacrosse community? it has nothing to do with the kids as I'm sure they are all just like our kids.
So YJ F’s “best” beats YJ C’ “worst” in 7v7, wow, Sounds like some roster shuffling going to happen!! Good for TG, Jesters and Legacy when these parents with false opinions of their kids abilities go looking for other clubs. To bad CR wouldn’t hold tryouts this year, maybe more to this story than covid...

Non event, the top girls on Janelli would beat the bottom half of Spalina in that format and so on and so forth. Does that surprise anyone?
Not sure about that. If this is the case then those girls would be on Spallina’s team. Isn’t that how this works? Top 25 kids go to A and the next 25 to B, then, C, etc.

Great story, but it never happened.

Yes it did. Be honest at least....

Non event, the top girls on Janelli would beat the bottom half of Spalina in that format and so on and so forth. Does that surprise anyone?


Not a chance....... and I know that bc the Spalina team regularly splits in 2 for these 7v7 tourneys and if anyone ever beat them it would have been plastered all over this site.

you’re pretty delusional
Galvin is the new B team. congratulations

That happens in a magical land where life is determined just based on your skill set, not who your daddy knows to land you on an elite team even though you can barely catch and throw a ball. There's also unicorns on in this place.

I hear if your dad coaches, you get to pet the unicorn too.
Any New York teams going to the Indoor National Championship in Virginia, now that its been moved from Spooky Nook in PA? Website shows 2 Yellow Jacket teams and Top Guns.
Not likely.....quarantine upon return will squash it
Spallina Does not split the teams in 2. They will have 2 teams in the 7 v7 but a lot of the girls play on both teams. FACT. Their schedule usually allows for it. They play to win & they win. We they blow teams out which they often do they play everyone.

They are so overrated and not worth all the trouble they cause. CR will just pull up four new players who will step right in to their spots and it will be like nothing ever happened. Not sure why it hasn’t happened already or people are pretending that it’s not happening. Denying it like they have to people’s faces is only going to make them look worse when it finally goes down.
Your not from that team... are you
I am hearing that girls from a few of the top teams are not happy where they are and are looking to move next year? kinda getting late in the game isn't it? I guess the grass is always greener on the other side!
Who is your source and who are the girls?

Generally No. For a 25 this early in the process, heck no.

These showcases have the most value for girls who play for under the radar clubs. Reality noone from a top maryland club or even a B club don't really have exposure issues.

The only showcase I have seen with some value is Lacrosse Masters, which is great for girls targeting NESAC (top new england private schools in D3).
Any feedback on the LILJ showcase at Stony Brook last night?

Agreed that for 2025, this is early in the process but showcases are vital for all players, regardless of the club you play for, especially now more than ever.

The CB Laxers NY Showcase on January 10th has a lot of NESCAC’s attending and other perennial power D2/D3 colleges. They also run other great showcases but this is a good one to get a taste for what showcases are like for the future but will also help to get on the coaches radars.

At the Spots Underdome in Mt. Vernon NY. Here is the site www.cblaxers.com
It is definitely not late in the game to switch clubs and will continue for the next two years at least...

It is hilariously early for 8th or 9th grade girls to be doing showcases unless you like to put stress on your daughter or want the practice. Totally feeding into the money grab. No one is watching or cares what is going on from a college perspective in 8th grade...
not to late to move, just weird its all happening mid season

What kind of deals?
Well, there is a breakpoint between "better deals" and "good riddance". Player skill and parental pain are both factors. You may think your daughter is "god's gift" to lacrosse and the team, but the coaches see the deficiencies and how they affect the team as well...not listening, passing. There are too many girls that will get into the car and end up crying because they didn't shoot enough or score goals to satisfy Mom or Dad's fragile egos. All kids want to please their parents and that pressure causes many to do the wrong thing. Hurts the team and the coaches know it and the other parents see it and know it as well. "Go ... (insert name) shoot it, every team has them... Change eventually works for everyone...have at it.

Agreed! Unlike poker, we are not all seated at the same table. With multiple teams at this age group, at least 7-10 on LI alone, the author of the post could be referencing any of these teams......the author seems to know specific information about specific kids on a specific team......why make the post without mentioning the details? If not willing to include details then don't make the post.
You know who you are...and if you don't, look closer in the mirror.

If people posting here had to actually back up their comments with details or facts this thread would be like 2 pages long instead of 40. There's been nonsensical jabbering for a few months now about the four horsemen are leaving their current 2025 team (no details on which team they're actually from) to save another LI team (again, unclear which one or of it actually needs to be saved). People seem to think that "you know who you are" wink wink, nod nod passes for facts and if they're able to get a couple people who know even less about the situation to pile on it becomes gospel.

Can we come up with some new material for the new year people?
40 pages of everyone flighting who the second best team is.

most uncompetitive grade by a long shot
Lol. Most uncompetitive grade. Oh no, my ego... Girls will be fine.

Oh, and do you really want your name called out as the parent that no one wants to stand next to on the sideline because you are so painful?

We have never been on the same sideline no matter how hard you’ve tried to be.
"We have never been on the same sideline no matter how hard you’ve tried to be."

False. All the parents are on one side and the players and coaches are on the other.

The top ten will beat each other often when they get to high school ages. Happens with all other years and will happen with 2025's. Those with older daughters know this is true.

No.

The thing thing special about Team Spallina is he beats selfish play out of them. The parents are cowed. Unlike most teams where parents are telling Little Suzy to "go to goal!", on Spallina's team the parents are afraid to open their mouths. So yes, they are on another level but it's not because of any particular talent the girls have. JS could take a bag of gummy bears and coach them to win. Each one would stick to a different tooth in your mouth.

When they get to their high school team I'll give even odds that at least half will do more harm than good. Mom and Dad will finally have an outlet to tell them "Go to goal! You play for Spallina. Your coach doesn't know what he's doing!"
Who cares..
8th grade and have not played a real tournament since 2019.There are going to be 12 very upset families when they do play because they will never touch the field.
Good Luck. You don’t get recruited by your team only by how you can play.

the girls who don’t play will be phased out by then

also the gummy bear reference is good even if it’s dripping with JS fanboyism. can’t argue with results

likely true for most teams, but not this one. their coach will do whatever it takes to develop or acquire the required talent to prevent that from ever happening. maybe some one down south will run with them on a given day, but no one locally can hang with them.

Stop. You're obnoxious.
This summer will tell a lot about many of the teams. I believe the gap will get smaller between many of the top teams. There will be some movement after this summer for sure. seeing that nobody was able to move this past year due to Covid. It is really Janelli, TG, Lomo and maybe legacy. After that the other teams just do not match up. Jesters at this age is not very talented and either is Elevate. If Janelli or TG add a few top players, they are not that far away.

these “top player” don’t grow on trees and are not likely to move. why would they?

also according to the dinks on this site didn’t a bunch of girls just move to top guns?

both false

those girls are just above average at best and not top players and they did not end up moving
Ton of reasons, Most which start with "Daddy thinks I should...."

The TG rumor has subsided for the time being, purportedly because the phantom girls in question were outed and have circled the wagons. My guess is it was rumor started by a jealous parent (or two) who believes their daughter is "on another level" and little Sally should be playing ahead of said phantom girl, since she was a fourth grade stand out and all...

yjs lost to elevate last night

im not sure what team it was but they couldnt catch and throw very well
Last night Jabroni lost to Elevate 23 and Lomomma beat South Side.

come on, three of those kids are decent and the other is probably better suited for the c team.

just a team in decline, happens all the time
Maybe they just had an off game? They are 3-1 in the league having beaten a few Varsity teams. Jeez...
Humanity and this site is in decline...
I've got a hard time believing kids on Jabroni's B team can't catch and throw, yet somehow they're beating varsity teams in games, and are top 15 in the country? I would also think we wouldn't spend multiple pages of this thread putting together a heat map of where the Fantastic Four will end up if they truly didn't have any talent. Let's just stick to talking smack about the adults and teams in general fellas.

2025 kids that are still playing at this point are ones that want to get better at their craft, should we discourage that? I'm sure we'll have a ton to talk about this summer with all the pent up movement from team to team from this past 'season' so let's work on our verbal delivery this offseason, and be ready come July. I'm sure you can do better than 'they can't and throw good', you're all better than that I'm certain of it.
Serious question for those that have been through this. Have a 6th grade daughter that generally plays Def and mid. Her team’s primary goalie went down with long term injury. Coach asked kid if interested in being goalie. Asked her and she is 50/50 about it. Thoughts? Feel like she would be good but don’t want her to get stuck there.

Maybe have her try it out at a practice or two. If she finds that she doesn't really want to be in there and has no intention of sticking with it, she will end up wasting an entire season. It is not everyone's cup of tea to be hit with hard rubber balls.

Let's just stick to talking smack about the adults and teams in general fellas.

2025 kids that are still playing at this point are ones that want to get better at their craft, should we discourage that? I'm sure we'll have a ton to talk about this summer with all the pent up movement from team to team from this past 'season' so let's work on our verbal delivery this offseason, and be ready come July. I'm sure you can do better than 'they can't and throw good', you're all better than that I'm certain of it.


Ah, no movement this year. Maybe next year. Maybe not.
Really wish Long Island had a similar spring season like the Mid-Atlantic Division of NGLL.

NGLL tried 2 years in a row to get a Long Island region going and not enough clubs joined. it took a pandemic for local lacrosse to finally happen. I hope we can see more local leagues in the future. Sadly it looks like another summer spent on the NJ turnpike for most of us.
To many egos to do a spring league like Mid-Atlantic. Plus you have 7th and 8th graders playing high school lax. Where as Maryland doesn’t allow 7/8 graders to play. How is Spallina going to coach his SB team, his 22 91 team, his 23 91 team and his daughters 25 YJ team. Heard he’s started recruiting for his babies 2035 YJ team.
Has any clubs played lacrosse this spring? summer season starts up this weekend with many clubs playing at Lax by the Sea. Interested to see how YJ Spallina does. they really haven't played much in the last 18 months.
The true barometer of this team and most others will be at the late june and july tourneys. Many kids playing varsity and JV HS seasons right now. The focus for those girls has not been on club team, but will be in a few weeks.

theyve practiced enuff his offseason and no local team is within 10 goals of them on there best day

nationally they will be fine to

the gap is supposed to narrow as teams get older , but here it will only widen
They are good, but what does Spallina do in a showcase tourney when he needs to utilize all 25 girls? Does he only bring the top 15 girls and leave the rest at home?
You think the teams nationally have gotten weaker? M&D? SW? Heros? CT Grizzlies? Wonder how YJ would do in the Baltimore area playing those 3 teams week in week out. The 2025 class on the island is weak.

Dude you are single handedly bringing down the club brand with your lack of basic English abilities. Please stop posting, or ask your 8th grader for assistance.

No way he plays everyone. If he does, I cant wait to see the tantrums. We all know who's kid will throw the biggest temper tantrum.

He'll never do it.

With the 2020’s, as each got committed, he played the not committed kids more and more. He certainly showcased his own, but all of those kids got a fair shot to be seen. Without a doubt.

Probably has nothing to do with majority of their team playing varsity and JV while your kid playing Middle school can get free for the weekend
JV playoffs this weekend too? didn't know there was a state tourney for JV teams.
If you had any idea how things work at the HS level, you would realize that the best JV players get pulled up to Varsity for the playoffs. It's called building a successful program and a winning culture. Some of you people make accusations without knowing any/most of the variables associated with decisions that are made. Believe it or not the team that is being targeted in this thread as being "scared" has many girls playing JV/Varsity. In most cases, the kids playing JV are the best players on that team as 8th graders. Therefore, they get pulled up to Varsity for playoff run, which begins tomorrow at Varsity practice........HS takes precedence over club in this case, just the way it is.
Jabroni is out of Lax by the Sea also. I suspect varsity conflicts not bracket fear...

All. Unless daddy has connections.
Steps Elite Blue needs to step up an play in the A pool. I've noticed that in all of their tourneys they place themselves in a very weak pool, and then setup the playoffs so they won't have to face the Pool A champion until the finals. It worked this weekend at Lax by the Sea. Hero's green ran out of steam while Steps Elite Blue was fresh. Look at Lax for the cure, etc. Great Club, but stop ducking the top teams.

The YJ way!
That A pool is tough to get out of into the playoffs. No thanks.
yja may go 2-2 with there schedule this wknd
especially with starters still in HS playoffs
Interested to see Spallina play this weekend. Don’t believe he will coach the girls, believe he will coach boys at Stonybrook showcase.
YJ Spallina will have 5-8 girls playing in LIC on Saturday depending on who wins County championships tonight......this team won't show who they really are until G8 in July
Noticed they dropped Spallina from the team name on Yellow Jackets website, and Lax for the cure schedule. I'm assuming he can't coach now they are prospective student athletes? or is he leaving for the Cuse job?

confirmed , they already reached out to a few girls on an other yj team to fill in for them since they arent playing at the same times
YJ Spallina forfeiting! Weak! Scared to play!
Forfeited at 4pm Friday night. Tournament can’t even fix the schedule with that little notice.

the bottom of his roster has never been treated right

poor parents have paid for every practice and now missing three straight tourneys

family first once you already got paid and there is no benefit of him training your kids if they never practice
Give it a rest. They are not attempting to duck anyone...a core of the team and staff are otherwise occupied this weekend. Kudos to them and their coach for showing and him accepting their loyalty to their town programs. Jamulli and Lombird also have the same issue. Chill out MD. See you in the summer...
Summer is almost over!

No you stop apologizing for him. They should have given more
Notice where a change could be done to allow all teams to get in their 4 games. Isn’t that what it’s about. Playing the games ? Took a spot away from another team as there is always a waitlist too. I hope someone would no show for his team.

Tournament knew Tuesday about this being possible and was confirmed Wednesday evening and Tournament refused to change it because STEPS didn’t want to play in a real division Only team that could of been moved there is the directors team and he likes to play in easy bracket
How does Steps division get 2 playoff teams. They are full of B teams! I understand the A pool with MND/Heros/Ct Grizzlies. But how does Steps Blue, skywalkers white get priority over the SW blue division.

Why do you care? Must be new to this so I’ll give you free advice. Don’t worry about the schedule? Don’t worry about who you play? Who scores? Lamenting the bad calls. Enjoy the day rooting for your child and her team!
sit back and take it!
Spoken like a true Steps parent who has the schedule bent for them despite everyone paying the same fees and expecting to be treated the same.

And the top 2 teams got byes in the first round--blows the mind.
Congrats to Janellli - Beat some tough Maryland teams to win the championship!! Amazing to see how much they have improved!!
i bet those four families who made a stir and bailed out over the winter are kicking themselves now

im sure that grass doesn’t look any greener no more
Those four families never left.....rumors
While we're discussing rumors, does anyone know if Rush 2025 folded? I know TG black told their girls no more using Rush as spring training, and I heard their goalie was now playing for YJ's E team.... Bueller? Bueller?

Pretty sure I saw a 2025 Rush team at Lax By The Sea a few weeks ago but I don't know any more than that.

TG like that with all their kids. EGO gotta go get over yourselves! All kids should learn from many trainers will make you a better player. People running from TG
25 TG have never had any player leave since they started. love how you all think you know everything. Try to put down other programs every chance you get. Not sure why you just can't be happy with your team and promote a positive experience for YOUR child without putting others down. Every team and every child will have their own journey. Let them enjoy the ride instead bullying everyone to make yourself feel better.

They’re the only program that tells kids who they can train with.

Except of course, that they don't. At all. The only thing ever asked is if you have conflicts, TG practices and tournaments take priority over any other lacrosse except school. If you think that is unreasonable, lots of other clubs will gladly take your money.

That's just foolishness. There was multiple 25 TG alums playing for YJ GALVIN in summer league last night.
25 yellow jackets are a strong program. Many parents will want to bring their daughter there.
Agreed.

Spallina, Janelli, Lomo all top 2025 teams. G8 should be fun.

I'm sure many will want to leave this summer also, carrying a roster of 26/27 kids is good for the pocketbook, not great for parent's and girl's level of happiness when they're buried on the third attack line.

Still no YJ tryout info? What's CR got up her sleeve?
Why is the great YJ Janelli team that crushed everyone at Lax for the Cure playing in an easy bracket again? Can they repeat the success found at Lax for the Cure?

just not much to debate anymore

lomo is the c team

top guns is more like average guns these days but at least they are throwing and catching better

legacy has yet to beat a good team, ever

that internal janelli turmoil was either untrue or not impactful, well for now at least and they are hard to bash at the moment though likely overrated

elevate’s rick springer style recruiting emails somehow continually evade my spam folder despite my best efforts

“yj blue” parents are not happy , but that will change once the team actually practices and runs the table for the remainder of the summer. still that’s a lot of cake you paid for a handful of free practices and 2 tournaments just to say you play for “coach blue” especially if your kid never plays
What did everyone who attended think of the LI 2025 tryouts for American Select this past week?
Ha!! Those elevate emails are insane!!

There absolutely is a second team. The website has been updated showing the two teams. So I guess you can include yourself with the clowns here.

Spallina not playing with their usual dominance today. Close game with Monster. Janelli lost. Not the G8 dominance that YJ was expecting.
What happened to the famous “four girls” for the yj? (Inside joke for those not aware lol)

Thx for the beer last night yj dads. - md dad
45 minutes away from the showdown Spalina vs Green

My prediction, Spalina by a lot

The “four girls” didn’t go to Janelli… YET. Maybe Janelli should take a look at them?

Uh oh
So is Janelli the A team now. May want to reconsider the set rosters
Not so much...

Really 8 Blue girls and 1 white girl on Command. that is almost 50% of the roster. also several Broadneck girls too.

Took them weeks and weeks to post any of the completed tryout rosters. Wouldn't expect to see them until maybe week of the tourney. Also highly doubt there will be practices.

Enjoy those two super exclusive teams
Spallina gap has closed dramatically. Difference between jamelli, lomo and spallina is marginal. Results should bear that out over the next week. Save the gibberish until after this weekend, then have at it with the supporting data. Web cheerleading, posturing and sideline histrionics by crazed parents is irrelevant and useless other than giving long island a bad reputation due to your behavior (thanks Jamulli parents for showing your color this weekend, easy to pretend to be classy when you're winning).

were you you even there? they seemed like the nicest kids at the event by many accounts. can’t speak to their parents but typically there is some correlation
Uh oh, if the gap is really closing, the whole YJ - A team model starts to fall apart. Don’t the B, C, D teams exist really just to prop up the A team?

Coach Blue can beat both those teams by as many goals as he feels like, last weekend was their spring training, everyone else is in mid season form. Lomo hasn't been able to keep up with Janelli at all in the last year, there's a big gap there currently.

Reflexive property states if Janelli beat hero's and hero's beat Blue, then ????

Let's hope we see it this week somewhere or another. And I think the YJ Amway model is working just fine, just ask the Queen. Cheers to a fifth and sixth 2025 YJ team for next year!
Can't fault the Queen Bee - have 10 teams, if you are going to have parents wanting to pay the $3k fee each year.

Oh boy
Who's coaching YJ 2025 Blue now? They had like 7 coaches on the sideline for G8? Is it the friends and family coaching staff?
Spallina vs. Janelli @ 12:00 today in Delaware. Janellis bracket was weak. Spallina by7.

And?
Spallina won by 6. Any further discussion regarding who the best team in the org is? Please take a seat and resume your pillow fight with Lomo. Told you your bracket provided you with a false sense of confidence.

It’s not about that. Parents were disgusting. You now know why your kid was B team all along. Get a hobby
Please stay by yourself and keep talking garbage about each other.
We don’t want you around any way. Keep patting yourself on the back and following the little queen around. Somehow you showed up Tuesday next door.

If this type of behavior doesn’t happen between teams it happens on teams. In the 2023 age group the parents got sick of it and left.

winning can fix a lot of things but not that if true
Are STEPS & Elevate really protesting the Team Blue win because of changing their roster after the deadline ?
It will be interesting to see what happens to Team Spineless
Team Blue did take elevates goalie the day before the tournament after trying to get some others to join the sinking ship
There are some crazed parents on each of the top 3 yj teams, and plenty of quiet under the radar nice parents too. It would be nice to group all of the crazy parents together on one team-I'm sure each team could come up with a consensus of five that bring the team and mood down, not up. "It's the ref's; it's the coaches; it's the bracket (too high or too low); she should play more; she should play less; she is a scorer not a defender;" It's about your daughter, not you. Park your ego and in the porta potty. No one cares where you played a quarter century ago. Ask yourself this, if your daughter makes a bad play who's reaction is more negative-in words, body language or tone-you or the coaches? If it's the coaches, then look for greener pastures; if it is you, and IT IS, STFU. You are painful.

Great tournament, venue, format and competition. Congrats Spallina and Steps Blue.

Be humble and kind. Don't burn bridges. The sands are always shifting.

On to MD...
Not only that he had the owner roster one of Janelli’s goalies the night before Nationals behind everyone’s backs . Biggest person move ever .

A 1 goal game decided at the end by save made by an ineligible player to seal or should I say steal it. Would the outcome have been different if US lacrosse enforced their rostering rules and didn’t allow you to add a goalie from a rival club to your roster days before this event? Giving you 3 goalies!!! Lesson to all you winning parents, you can be replaced that easily when there’s an upgrade available...... no tryout, no team practice, just show up and start for us..... I can’t believe US Lacrosse is ok with it? Where’s their integrity? Should make for an interesting mid Atlantic...
Team King took another teams goalie the day before nationals? And won. What was the deadline for rosters
The kid got a nice ribbon but she burnt a lot of bridges doing it Very bad form to put a kid in that situation and now deal with it

i know most of you view this as a negative , but I respect a guy who will do whatever it takes to win with no regard for mediocre kids and families he’s had to put up with for years or what most of you perceive as general human decency for that matter. the world is a hard cold place best learn it early. his daughter is lucky she’s the best 2025 in the country as she gets the same treatment as everyone else with no special privileges

better enjoy that ribbon because she wasn’t even his first choice, at least he’s a very loyal guy and will take care of her

seems like a nice kid and likely the second best goalie by a long shot but it couldn’t wait until tryouts
What happened to the goalie or goalies they had?

So the goalie he used was from the rivals B team. Yes, B team. So they are not a rival team. And it shows how much of a talent evaluator DK is.
He first attempted to take one of Janelli’s goalies . They rostered her first then asked . Then when they declined he attempted to strong arm them . This was done late Sunday night after G8 .
Is that common practice? Legal move? Poaching young girls?

Said the goalie parent
US Lacrosse rules stipulate you had to be rostered for your team by June 1st. NO EXCEPTIONS.

It’s right on the site.

Back story on who poached who is irrelevant. If she was added the night before she shouldn’t have been allowed to play with that team.

This has to be the second nonsense thing I have read today and I read this morning's Newsday so that's saying a lot.

Goalies get asked to play all over the place, it happens, it's happened with my goalie several times. He current club did not roster her for the event and someone else asked her to play. She was not "poached" she was available to play, this happens at actual events. We had our goalie go down at a recruiting event and a goalie who was warming up for the next game jumped in to keep the game going. Goalies are a commodity, you can't take a midfielder from your roster and make her a goalie like you would if you needed an extra attacker or defender. This is why the NHL requires home teams to keep a designated back up for both teams on site for their games in case two goalies go down. Granted they didn't get a beer league goalie here, the girl has skills and has been clearly working hard to move up

Say what you want about the coaches but never put it on the player who just took advantage of an opportunity to play.

No bridges were burned, just a bunch of bitter adults.

GFY

M&D parent here. I came to this forum to see if the NY 25 forum was as bad as the MD 25 forum. The answer is a resounding YES wink
Its literally the same complaints. People talk about M&D/you talk about Yellow Jackets, people talk about Skywalkers/you talk about Top Guns, people talk about Hero's/jesters or whatever decent NY team there is.

Same complaints - different states.

The Team J dads sitting in the lobby of the best western still licking their wounds Full disclosure I am a parent of a Maryland club team. Multiple Janelli parents abnoxiously tell a few of us how they are the best on LI after beating us a few weeks ago. Great to see the Spallina team blow them away. That’s what you get for talking a few weeks ago

Hey! I've only done that once or twice this week. I like to think of it as a conversation starter...

-legacy dad
The NHL and 14 year old girls lacrosse
Amazing comparison. Thanks for explaining that to us JS

If our other 2 goalies got hurt we could have gotten one from anyone of the other 25 or 26 teams that were there.


The win at all cost lack morals and integrity. So for the two
That support it (goalie dad and JS) should really think about that as they run round with their ribbons. Values and relationships will build great people. We could have won with out this stain and it saddens our family how it was handled with no communication. Very POOR and disappointed.
Every goal that tried out made a team. Congrats she must really be a super start
True Props to those that leave
Totally not true. This Spallina Mom should get mental help and stop trying to cast a shadow on Team Janelli. Just focus on healing yourself first then the team your daughters plays on.
Let the kids be kids and play but please stop making up nonsense up. Very sad attempt that wont work. We’re good just stay in your lane.

Bad is probably an overstatement. I don't think he's truly "bad". He's not killing baby seals or anything like that. He's more along the lines of a used car salesman.

He's an egomaniac with a Napolean complex. He cares more about his image than anything else. His image is what he's selling. And those sales bring him fortune and fame.

If you're useful to him he's good to you. If/when you become not useful, you'll be the last to know and only find out when you're stabbed in the back.

He builds youth teams entirely to support and showcase his own kids and further his own brand, using other people's kids to do so, and makes gobs of money doing it. This is comical because only one of his kids has any truel talent, and he's not a 2025. When you hear the "top 2025" that's media/social media hype. If something is said enough and written enough, it must be true, so he makes that happen. There are a handful of girls on the team that are better in every way but have to take a back seat. Just watch a game and you'll see the truth of it. I'll give you a hint, look at the middies who can run and know they're supposed to give the ball to the little queen. I don't know if this makes him bad. But the Lion does not trouble himself with the opinion of sheep. And he's very good at collecting sheep.

From the website:

"Important update: Rescheduling will take place once all games are completed on Saturday. We will work our best to give those teams that lost games makeup games. We ask for your patience in checking schedules early tomorrow morning. Teams that have a 7:30am game for tomorrow will still have that game at that time. We will try to accommodate teams that are flying or traveling long distances in scheduling as well. "

Fact he changes scholarship money yearly with multiple kids

This happens everywhere especially with the additional years of eligibility Daughter plays Big 10 and it’s wild 8!kids form my daughters team in the portal. Coaches have 5 classes of players to fit in four years of money

It does not happen regularly he’s been doing it for years.
Most schools meaning 98% give u what they agree from beginning. As long as ur not breaking rules. He threatens kids

Has anyone said anything good about him yet?

usually he’d come on here and defend himself, but where no one else has so far it would be obvious that it’s JS himself

his sheep better start saying nice things or tryouts are going to be interesting
The last 8 of 9 posts were from same t IP address. So stating something and responding to yourself is a dire effort Knock it off

Where are people going if not staying with him? Only a few options out there. A few teams are only 2-3 really good players away from being really good? Realistically options are only going to Janelli, Lomo or TGs. Maybe jesters or Legacy??? Unless they want to drive and play for Grizzles or prime time!!

Probably for the best as 3D Frederick tied YJ Spallina. It would be a shame for a little team from nowhere to win it all.

3D Fredricks ? Never heard of them but they tied Team King
Yes. Because we were mislead ……. such a waste the past two years A couple. Tourneys and a few practices we didn’t have to pay extra for. How does CR allow this treatment to the top talent.
It’s no longer Spineless’ Team. His Daughter and the 3E director are running it now. It’s Team Blue

There are a few reasons and they might be good enough or right for some people. The YJ name has meaning. Like it, love it or detest it, it's still true. CR has the best connections in the business, the brand draws talent and talent draws college commitments. Some other clubs make blips on the radar depending on the grade but YJ is the Queen Bee of LI Lax.

Second, JS is a good coach. Any kid who plays for him learns a lot as long as you're in the top half of the roster he deems worth speaking to, or your daughter has really good ears when the top half is being taught. Either way, he does have a lot to offer if you're willing to overlook the downsides.

Lastly, there are the fanboy/girls "My daughter plays for YJ Spallina" - does she? Does she play? "Uhhhh, well, ... she's on the team ..."

These reasons are enough for some parents to hold their nose and deal, or stink up ad nauseam. Mostly the latter.

Come on what were they supposed to do? Weather you are not able to control.
So much jealousy and detest on here, it’s quite disgusting. Especially from anonymous cowards. Amazing that BOTC allows people to identify players and coaches and shred them, endlessly.

Mostly true- you forgot to add the girls who make sure the ball gets to the only 2 that matter.... girls with ability who try to show it don’t play as much as the sheep who just do their job and play together.
Hearing rumors New York State games may not happen is this true

To be fair that is very true I have a few boys that play and both boys teams he has coached and currently coaches hve every player comitted D1 Biggest thing is kids have to play if they are playing a lot where they are smile and stay happy if they aren’t change teams. It’s simple. Don’t get caught in the drama don’t worry about playing with friends and status and find the level they belong at and are going to contribute. One thing I’ve noticed is on the girls side there are so many players on each team Have a great remaining summer
Sorry if I am late on this can someone explain to me the Under Armour vs American Select situation Friends daughter was basically strong armed into committing to other event

When I saw the boys reference I went and looked for Crush and you are wrong here in a big way . I was responding to the earlier one and saw your post 3 to Duke 2 to Michigan 3 to Syracuse 2 to Navy 1 Hopkins 2 Airforce. 2 Princeton I couldn’t find the other ones but I believe that is pretty good.

Select had tryouts before under armour and made two teams in Age groups then forced people to pay within two days and the price tag is very high 700 dollars so it probably eliminates people from under armour Pretty sleezy move to make a lot of money
JS is too busy to coach his "team" but not too busy to anonymously respond on BOTC. He'll show up now to keep his sheep in line.

Who did the 3 committed to Duke play for before they played for Crush? Wasn’t 91. They were developed by 91. How did they wind up on Crush?

It’s the same thing -they were 91 crush on the same team from the time they were little guys. Team 91 top teams all have different names crush shock warriors bandits Wolfpack. Crush is just the one everyone knows because of all the top recruits. It’s a litttle confusing on boys side but run way better
Crush is Team 91.
We a have a goalie for sale after the 3D Fredricks game..
Key word there is boys. He coaches girls.
On the girls side there is no way that coach is going to call another coach for your daughter. You are dreaming if you buy into his promise.

Was more surprising more than anything else because I believe the clubs running the new event coaches in UA. AMS Seems legit

All 3 played Dune Dawgs. They were brought over to 91.
The lack of rescheduling this past weekend in MD was a joke. Half of the '25 teams only got 2 games while the other half got 4. Scheduling certainly could've been altered for Sunday providing each team with 3 games total and then one playoff game. Same amount of total games, just more work for the organizers. Organizers are person if they do not provide a 50% refund to the teams that only got two games but were guaranteed 4. Not a credit, a refund directly to those 15 or so teams that incurred travel, lodging and registration expenses but did not get what was stated. Please advise.

LOL, who on BOTC would you like a response from? Problem is, there's that small print at the bottom of all the waivers teams/players/parents all signed that almost definitely says, "no refunds for cancellations due to weather." stinks for sure, but it's not the first time and it won't be the last.

I’ll say it. The UA tryouts we’re pretty disorganized. Before last years waste of time there were 20 local HS, College coaches/players doing the evaluations. You got a mix of local talent from all towns and clubs. Yesterday we had just the club coaches coaching the command/highlight teams, some local club coaches and JS. At least JS actually watched the games, but several games were played with no evaluators on the sidelines? What did they debate during their assessment period? This was not as bad as the American Select or NY regional tryouts but pretty bad. The only thing these event organizers do well is take our money. Great concepts with big name sponsors just run poorly by the revolving door of club directors putting their own stamp on someone else’s “tryout”.

Should be interesting to see what happens with Rosters because so many girls here already were rostered and paid their $600 for the AS event that happens on the same days.

That didn’t end well for that tournament Sons club team never returned to that tournament again
Believe AU is the Athletes Unlimited, the new womens league. They have a teams scheduled to play next week also.

Yes, interesting. So many kids already paid for AS, but tried out for UA and willing lose that money if they make it? Seems a little desperate. If you believe what’s written on here UA was such a joke, yet record number of kids showed up to try out. Seems like UA is still the place to be.
Think the YJ kids will get bullied from CR to go to the AS event

Not sure if that is desperate. If my daughter makes UA, we will likely still do AS. It's just another opportunity to see how you stand up o the best competition. I think AS will be a better event, because looking at the rosters, I see many of the top girls from other regions on there.
Yes I believe the American select will be the new top dog! I don’t know how other regions are running under armor but Long Island lost all credibility last year with bs evaluations/selections.

American Select allowed the Florida Select 2022 team to represent the Florida region at that age group. Not a single other player made the team. American Select has all the same problems as the UA event. Some, like this one, are glaringly worse.
Another season in the books...time for the cancerous parents to take their baggage elsewhere and TG, Lomo and Janelli shuffle their headaches...

Lost all credibility and then those same evaluators went and started American select and ran it the same way they did Under Armor last year

Do they play the same sport with uniform rules? The tryouts should be run the same way regardless of the region. UA/Nike should hire a woman’s director of Lax or work with the IWLCA and layout a process to select the best girls from each region and have them play, not rotate a bunch of $$$ motivated biased club directors in to coach it who can’t pick the best girls bc they have to pick their girls to validate their club fees and so they can say they developed her.

Do they play the same sport with uniform rules? The tryouts should be run the same way regardless of the region. UA/Nike should hire a woman’s director of Lax or work with the IWLCA and layout a process to select the best girls from each region and have them play, not rotate a bunch of $$$ motivated biased club directors in to coach it who can’t pick the best girls bc they have to pick their girls to validate their club fees and so they can say they developed her.

if long island wants to WIN the event then why not pick the BEST players. how can a legit duke commit who was an AA this year not make callback after being on the team the past 3 years???
but still the talent on UA is much better than AS

Talent is absolutely not better on UA, look at the rosters, many of the better girls went to AS. The Duke commit was hot and cold this season, didn’t play well and did not deserve to advance. You want the tryout to be fair, right?
We didn’t do AS after being stunk into 91s Warrior AA games a few years back. We decided to wait-and-see.

UA was a bit disorganized at first but I thought got it together pretty quick after the first 20 minutes. We’re not Jesters but the evaluations seemed fair because they didn’t know any of the other girls - and there was a lot of girls. I’m sure some got missed and that’s the shame of a tryout but overall the callback game was loaded with talent. Good luck to all the girls.

The Duke commit led her HS team to an undefeated season and LI championship and was an All American. Like it or not she will likely be the face of the 22 Suffolk Senior class replacing the BBP player who just graduated. The only up and down is the repetitive over exaggerated unnecessary head / shoulder fakes of the player likely to take her spot. Best of luck to those that make it.

Wait…a YJ didn’t get pushed through do to her reputation? Guess that’s what happens when CR isn’t pulling strings behind the seen. Don’t agree with her being the “face”. good player, many just as good or better many of whom will be Jrs.
Non traditional area players sometimes have to travel 3 plus hours just to try out so I’m guessing that is how they can manipulate the rules Not right at all but marylnd and LI are held to different standards

Selection process is skewed at both. Get rid of the club directors and club coach’s as evaluators. UA/Nike should have a much better evaluation process for their tryouts

The entire '22 class at BBP is not worth a mention. That's why they're not mentioned. The talent at BBP now starts with the '23s and that's what you'll hear about next season.

This is the 2025 thread and all the top 2025 talent from BBP was at UA.

American Select allowed the Florida Select 2022 team to represent the Florida region at that age group. Not a single other player made the team. American Select has all the same problems as the UA event. Some, like this one, are glaringly worse.

Almost the same thing happened with the North Carolina 2024 team. Large number of players from the "host club" that is clearly 2nd tier.

This is normal of startup events and why most don't last. If AS is still around in 3 years, and the other regions actually win a few championships to show some legitimacy, it will be worth considering. UA is flawed but when you look at the AS roster it is still just as flawed and for the same reasons. Club affiliations, friends, and family.

Manipulate what rules? You show up- have girls throw and catch, do some drills, play some games and hopefully have “independent” evaluators rate those in attendance and pick a team for the respective region. Drive 10min or 10 hours. Makes no difference. What am I missing
Harder to get numbers. Isn’t like LI or MD where everyone in that region is playing
What rules are being manipulating? Defining a region? Asking a player who didn’t make LI or Baltimore to play for the Southwest or another region unable to field a team?
What happens now with 1/3rd of the UA roster and the AS roster are the same? Which event tanks

For One year they are equal. Next year is where the events separate This year they will both be good Next year they will seperate. College staffs will probably have coaches at both so it won’t matter

Dads of players trying out were the evaluators. Can’t get more manipulated than that.

UA tryouts were terrible - again. Feel bad for the girls who really deserve a fair evaluation for this stuff. Many very good players were not invited back for the call backs, who are absolutely better players than the girls who made the team. My bet is, the LI teams will not do very well at UA this year

I know of a few girls that made both and are planning to do AS. I’m sure both will be good events, but UA will be eventually be most important to the graduating seniors selected for the senior game. It’s too bad the events conflict, I think there was room for both if they just staggered the schedule a few days
JS at work again. No morals

Agreed would of liked events separate tho
Many of the 25 "studs" on BOTH AS and UA rosters! Will be interesting to see where they go. JS's boys are all at UA (no boys for AS b/c CR doesn't care about them). Will JS daughter follow dad to UA? If so, there goes the rest of that team. Can't imagine that CR will be too happy about that.

The best players on 2025 Spallina are on UA. They did not try out for AS. There are some political appointees on UA that will need to be carried but they've been carried since 3rd grade.
Studs???
Several of those '24 DO NOT START on their teams. In fact, there are a couple that DON'T see the field during tournament play!!
What a tremendous drop off for the UA. My daughters had to show up to make the teams the last 2 years.
We seriously cannot believe that their are NOW-STARTERS on their teams that got the nod for UA.
These poor girls are going to get slaughtered. They are going to be devastated! And realize that maybe they didn't belong there. AndI UA has become a
second rate which hurts all of the girls that made team in past AND even the girls who made team this year. I'm sorry to lay it out like this and it's not the girls fault. We all apologize to the parents and girls who may or may not apply to!!

Both events will make a lot of money and accomplish what they want. Kids getting caught in the middle is the unfortunate part


Me act reason events should of been seperate for a year but money comes first

From what I see best players from YJ are on UA. Those kids didn’t need a back up plan.

What age group are you referring too with YJs on UA?
USCL posted their final rankings for 2025. Shocking that YJ Spallina is ranked #1. Playing all of 15 games, while M&D and Hero's played over 60 games this summer. YJ Spallina hasn't been ranked all year, but they somehow get ranked #1 on the final rankings. I'm assuming US Club Lax is in bed with Spallina and Yellow Jackets? They did not look very good this summer, and barely beat some teams. Heck they tied a 3D Frederick team that was smashed by MND the day before.

Where are the forfeited games for Spallina from Lax for the Cure? Oh, they mysteriously are listed with a Yellow Jackets Blue team, that really doesn't exist.

Hmmm, that does seem a bit selfish? Taking spots that others could have for their opportunity. What’s the point? YAY, you made both. Now you can put it in your recruiting profile. Can’t play both - so, now what?
Newbie here and apologize for my question in advance. Why do all this if very few scholarships to D1 schools? What’s the point? Just let the girls enjoy playing lax close to home without this pressure/money/time obligation? My daughter had played a few years, came across this site, and can’t even comprehend what is going on. What is your end goal if no/few full scholarships and a few $15k scholarships? I mean totally not a ROI.

You are 100% correct if you only consider scholarship money. What is missing from consideration is the opportunity that lacrosse creates. Athletes bypass much or all of the selection process for college applicants. Many/most athletes still need to meet admissions requirements for the chosen school but they are not put in the general pool of applicants. If the coach wants your kid, and she has the grades, etc., you're in.
Or consider the fact that you love the game and want to continue playing for a few more years? Truth is, unless it’s a good fit academically, lacrosse and fitting in-it won’t work out! Injuries, coaches switch schools, personality conflict affecting playing time, or burn out happen!

They also help finding other academic scholarships and scholarships that may not be well known.
rumors of six teams between nassua and suffolk this year with CR picking a true A team and breaking some teams up

with the gap year and the volume expected at tryouts things will be less on the up and up than usual as deals are already being made

nothing new here , but kids making one of the top teams without a private tryout our handshake deal is unlikely
[quote=Anonymous]rumors of six teams between nassua and suffolk this year with CR picking a true A team and breaking some teams up

Key word “rumors”. 98% of things posted on this site are rumors or assumptions
Any feedback on any of the teams that have had tryouts so far?

As long as YJ numbers stand past they have the numbers for six teams already. Just put 21 kids on a team instead of 26
The directors cause drama on every team by putting 5 too many players on these rosters
CR is a great coach and evaluator of talent. Well respected all around. She has a tremendous track record for helping girls of all clubs find good fits to play D1. Haters detest. Take a deep breath. Relax. If your kid is as good as you think she is, CR will validate that.

From what I see best players from YJ are on UA. Those kids didn’t need a back up plan.

truth, the spalina team wouldnt beet jesters without the 4 at ua

always heard that team was top heavy but didnt know it was so bad

no wonder joe recruited all winter
