Girls 2025-9th Grade Fall 2021/Summer 2022 - US Lacrosse Community Forum

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to Girls 2025 (9th Graders) for the Fall 2021/Summer 2022 season.

Any info on Tilts midnight escape from 91 Bandits to jesters? Creative differences??? They weren't exactly the Beatles to begin with.... Jesters tryouts today should be a good watch - get your popcorn

Wonder if the girls who Bolted from AS regret their decision after their embarrassing performance at UA. Grass isn’t always greener.

What was the result from UA?

AS - The Black team didn't put up much of a fight against MD in the AS championship. The score was close for awhile, but it never seemed like Black was much of a threat.

they fought, just not on the field

hopefully all the kids get invited back despite the trash that raised them

I wonder if the girls who dumped AS for UA regret their decision. What a beat down LI Command took. Embarrassing!

Not even close. I get what you’re getting at. I’m sorry your daughter didn’t make the call back at UA try outs. I see you’re still hurt over it. That’s ok. It will be ok. Command dominated UA, unlike the b-roll at AS who went 2-2 to subpar teams. Command went 5-0, with a loss in the championship. Our team was man down 3 out of 4 quarters and still put up a good fight. My DO is a 24 and I wouldn’t change a thing. Funny most of ya were at UA try outs and so bitter. You just wish you were there.
Congrats on your loss at AS I guess

Lol, you were blown out by Maryland. Embarrassing. My daughter didn’t try out for UA. We made a commitment and stuck to it. You jumped ship for something better which blew up in your face!

What the heck are you smoking!!?? As far as 24 age group goes , I challenge you to compare rosters and team comp. at the two events!!! UA can’t hold a candle to AS in this age group!! Sub par comp at command level was at the UA!!! Look who you played! Keep smoking that gangia though …. You definitely high and delusional! I bet Your daughter not a top 2024… the top were in fact at AS

The top 24s on LI were most definitely not at UA tryouts. Which means your DO prob. Not a top 24. Comp. and games were amazing at AS in that age group. All the best teams were there. Great LAX, great event. Congrats on your loss at UA when you finally got some comp to play. I guess

Apples and Oranges. Check out the MD rosters and be honest as to where the MD top players were. They were at AS. Period. Not even a comparison to level of competition.

Who cares if you were in better event be happy if you weren’t you learned from something that no one could predict because they put them against each other. Enjoy your summers

big moves already after the first wave of tryout results

kids leaving top teams with legacy and top guns picking up big pieces

cr will have record numbers and teams and wont miss a beat

What are the “top teams” that girls are leaving?

Coach Blue's team is in freefall

i wouldnt worry about coach blue, hes well prepared

nothing is a coincidence

Managed outcomes. Yes, TG's picked up some new players for SS to yell at and should help them, they need it.

Lol, she got the pass on paying the $600. A joke . But the joke actually turned out to be on her. Sad that some people get to think they are above others

Just hope a spot wasn’t taken from someone else who could have had a chance to play!? That would be selfish

Exactly. It’s the entitlement that bothers me. When you don’t play fair. It’s hard for others to like you

So funny all this UA vs AS debate which tournament was better or worse and everyone on here is “the one my daughter played in was better “. “No the one my daughter played in was better “ bottom line people who run these Tournaments got double the amount of people to pay No one cares which was better CR and CS made people they “care about “ make an impossible decision.
Of course whatever one your daughter made was better. What else are you gonna say

So what wasn’t fair exactly? She made both teams and played at both tournaments….what am I missing?

The tournaments overlapped and it would be selfish to leave your team for one thing. These were both team events. She didn’t play both and did not pay for AS, but held a spot that someone else could have used. Selfish and entitled

Totally Understand your thought here but there are always waitlists for injury, not accepting a spot etc From what I understand and it’s a good source they told CR she was going to UA if she made it which makes me think CR left her name on roster for a reason to keep others from jumping. And yeah you don’t pay unless you accept a spot correct ?
This is so dense. Club directors filling pockets and people fighting over their decisions to further divide kids and parents

The event my daughter was in was better than the one your daughter was in pathetic losers Love this place where the parents of the bad to average kids come to complain Always good to watch wreckage

This is very true and as much as this is anonymous it really isn’t look at bottom 7/8 kids on every bloated roster Was told once by a coach “ do you think the top kids parents are on those message boards it’s all the mommy’s and daddy’s who’s kids can’t hang and it Has to be someone else’s fault

everyone who wanted a spot at the event got one, not a big deal

plus no one on that second team could have hung with those on the black team so not filing the spot was more strategic than anything

No doubt she didn’t deserve to be on All-tournament team! Great player. I think point being made is not many other girls would have opportunity to try out for both and leave one hanging until after both tryouts. Wasn’t an option. Had to pay AS. Just saying… different rules don’t sit well. Hence the entitied comments

Yeah agreed she was great at UA no doubt very unselfish and I agree w holding two spots isn’t great but if CR was told she was going to play UA if she made it and didn’t adjust it that way tht is on CR Many kids tried out for both families made choices it very much a CR move to not adjust

Ummm if she tried out for AS and made the team, she would have had to accept and pay before being put on any roster. That's how it worked. This has nothing to do with her talent or lack or lack thereof.

Those Rules prob. didn’t apply to them. Unless they paid and changed mind afterwards? Nah, doubt it. More like they got/get special treatment. That’s why everyone has been talking about politics for the last several months on this. Seems to be there are plenty of politics in lacrosse world, and Some people do get more advantages. The rest of our girls will have to grind and not be denied the opportunities based on their talent. It will get seen when they hit the road to camps and prospect days. Hopefully more of an even “playing field” there

Not even close. I get what you’re getting at. I’m sorry your daughter didn’t make the call back at UA try outs. I see you’re still hurt over it. That’s ok. It will be ok. Command dominated UA, unlike the b-roll at AS who went 2-2 to subpar teams. Command went 5-0, with a loss in the championship. Our team was man down 3 out of 4 quarters and still put up a good fight. My DO is a 24 and I wouldn’t change a thing. Funny most of ya were at UA try outs and so bitter. You just wish you were there.
Congrats on your loss at AS I guess

Talent was divided, but is was soooo much easier to look good at UA. Super weak this year. That said, although we didn't make playoffs, the talent from around the country at AS was impressive, as all the top players were in attendance. Keep thinking your UA beatdown was an actual representation of the top talent. Very funny Fake News!

Keep knocking UA. It’s the run very well. Hope it stays forever. They make it special and lots of fun for the kids especially when you win!

American Select did have an insurance policy, so if you signed up and paid for insurance, i believe you would have significantly saved money if you decided to switch from AS to UA.

Selfish like "Everyone pass the ball to my daughter so she can score." That kind of selfish? Never happen.

Never been more true “my daughter isn’t playing well it’s that persons fault “ some people are embarrassing just let your daughter have fun if she isn’t happy move teams. None of these showcases mean anything for two more years

To each their own. If it doesn't effect you why do you care so much? There are some crazy sports parents out there and certainly on here. I'm sure the same ones that are cancerous to whatever team their daughter is on, was on or will be on...

did lomo fold ?

i heard all their top players have been placed on other Yj teams , but what happens to the rest ?

LOL regarding the two recent Lomo posts... whoever you heard that garbage from is a poor source of accurate information... Don't let the door hit you on the way out...cancerous troll. LOL again.

tryouts are a formality

all these things are done behind the scenes

"tryouts are a formality

all these things are done behind the scenes"

Once teams are formed that is true. Most new players trying out for teams are known commodities, but surprise additions and cuts occur as well.

“Poor source of accurate information” ”? Is it accurate ?

"i heard all their top players have been placed on other Yj teams" IT IS NOT ACCURATE. It is completely erroneous.

this is where it gets awkward

everyone has made arrangements but didnt tell u

maybe its not you or your kid they are trying to get away from

good luck hang in there

Lol. Thanks for the info and bringing me into the loop-as if the actions of the 2-3 leaving was a shock to anyone... Are you familiar with the term addition by subtraction? Negativity brings down your daughter, the team and the sideline. Keep digging around and maybe you'll put more pieces together and have a deeper perspective on who is coming and going from each of the teams.

Yes our team is going to be better with the subtraction.

If the “mommy coach stays and keeps making it about her daughter, than it’s never getting better. Good players will leave! People are over that scenario. Keep that in the PAL level. Parents are wising up to this parent coaching stuff. Good players will walk. Plus, the crazy screaming dad who helps coach. Yikes

Hearing there has been a lot of movement in the 2025s? Teams are going to look very different this year. Going to be interesting to see how this all turns out. It’s Any clubs game on LI now, at this age group!

yja will be stronger too and still beats any other 2025 team by 5 goals easily probably more

Girls are moving to where they are actually going to get to play and be giving training and opportunity to PLAY on teams that get to play top competition at tournaments. Not always the case on the YJ multiple teams.

Yes our team is going to be better with the subtraction.

If the “mommy coach stays and keeps making it about her daughter, than it’s never getting better. Good players will leave! People are over that scenario. Keep that in the PAL level. Parents are wising up to this parent coaching stuff. Good players will walk. Plus, the crazy screaming dad who helps coach. Yikes

is that the dad that does the ron jeremy impressions mid game ? keep him around he’s gold

This is very true CR tries to manipulate the tournaments and close other local teams out of them and it keeps kids staying on 2nd and 3rd YJ teams but it’s total BS

Saw five girls from the B team getting ready to make the move to Spallina.
No surprise there. Goalie is next

How did you see them getting ready? Spallina recruiting them? Or the YJ coaches chat and make trades?

Agreed it’s insane how she blocks other clubs from every wring high profile tournaments.

"yja will be stronger too and still beats any other 2025 team by 5 goals easily probably more"

The spread has moved down from 15 to 12 to 7 and now 5 by pompous Mom/Dad from Spallina. Wow, appears the gap closed and that trend is continuing. Sound the alert!

It is an odd prism you view the world through. Good luck, hope you find what you think you are looking for...

That's ridiculous. Any college coach out there would blast whoever said that.

Yes Thanks for the $250. We've got a nice spot on the bench for them

So by overrated you mean the main pieces that were able to beat M&D, heroes, and Skywalker's over the summer?

Let's have at least a little dose of reality, they power the jabroni pony...

"They are going there to stand on the sidelines to replace the other girls who stood on the sidelines? Asking for a friend"

Negative trolls. Why even say that? How does it affect you at all? It's their CHOICE. I'm sure they are going eyes wide open and have a good idea of how things have been in the past. No reason to bash the people leaving, the team you are leaving or any of the coaches or players on any of the teams. Not everyone wants the same thing. Hopefully each of the girls (or their mom or dad that likely drove the moves) that moved from any of the teams is happier where they land. Love when a Mom is in shock a team didn't try harder to keep her daughter...because they know the cancerous parent comes with her. If everyone winds up where they want to be hopefully the negativity will die down... Can't believe there is still another week of this garbage commentary on the shuffling. Peace.

looks like people have wised up and realized that there are other good places you can play and not have to deal with the terrible culture JS allows

no one is afraid of him anymore

Also, at that age the girls know they need to go somewhere they will see playing time in the tournaments. Recruiting years coming up. Can’t sit in the sidelines and play 2nd fiddle to coaches favorites.

Exactly!! My advice coming from having 3 lacrosse playing kids. Coming into this sport, we knew nothing. Seemed like fun and many friends were doing it. My kids were mediocre at best, but decent athletes. I learned that this sport is all about politics. HOWEVER, if your kid actually works hard. I mean everyday. Doesn't have to be with a trainer, but that definitely helps if you can't/won't help out yourself (most of the best players had/have a parent that pushes them and trains with them EVERY day). So, it's not really a big secret. It's about how hard your kid works. If your kid doesn't want to replace another girl sitting the bench, I recommend she put the hard work in now. She must PROVE in practice why she belongs on the field.

Is it OK to ask to be dropped “down”
To a different team If you play for YJs? I’m sure many would like to move teams. Or, simply get a new coach

what culture?

the team hasnt practiced consistently since third grade and the head “coach” makes to maybe two tournaments a year

the talented kids make that team great not some absentee figurehead

So true half of the noise on here are peoples kids who aren’t good enough and Mommmy and daddy need someone to blame If you don’t like where you are leave and trust me NO one WANTS to be on the B or C team especially in recruiting years Top colleges don’t waste time with those teams I have an older daughter and this is so true regardless of CR’s claims. Your kid just needs to work and find the right fit

Just Ask the big Mama from BPPP she tried push out JS & MBS from YJB.

The Mom leads the poison. Enabling the daughter. Most everyone who plays lines up to pucker up. JS shows up every once in a while to keep the checks coming.

Very true YJ jabroni will be relegated to lower brackets in recruiting tournaments so you are better off being top gun or legacy instead of B or C team. Just go look at recent tournaments for 2023 and you’ll see.

If the team “has not practiced consistently since third grade” as you say, how does that make for a good team? Sounds more like individual play, making it a winning team? Half the team sits, so a few individuals can shine? That’s not a great TEAM. Especially in development years. Maybe HS age

Great thing with travel lax is if you don’t like it go somewhere else. Been around this a long time with older kids almost every year bottom 4 kids leave the team. New four kids come on and it’s a never ending cycle No matter what team your on this happens and those players have the right to do it.

Pretty interesting just went and looked and I see what your saying the top teams are playing each other while B teams are playing other B teams and I see how this would impact recruiting. Never thought to look at that just assumed It to be different thank you

Agree, can’t be true if you are seeing 50/60 commits a year. “A” Team doesn’t have that many players!

Top Guns??? Did they beat any YJ teams this past year??? I don't think so. Ditto for Legacy... 4th at best (now you can tell me to watch out because the team got so much better after tryouts. blah, blah, blah. At least hope is renewed. The field will decide over the course of the coming year...)

Exactly!! My advice coming from having 3 lacrosse playing kids. Coming into this sport, we knew nothing. Seemed like fun and many friends were doing it. My kids were mediocre at best, but decent athletes. I learned that this sport is all about politics. HOWEVER, if your kid actually works hard. I mean everyday. Doesn't have to be with a trainer, but that definitely helps if you can't/won't help out yourself (most of the best players had/have a parent that pushes them and trains with them EVERY day). So, it's not really a big secret. It's about how hard your kid works. If your kid doesn't want to replace another girl sitting the bench, I recommend she put the hard work in now. She must PROVE in practice why she belongs on the field.

This is very true. Find a spot that works for you. Reading this makes me laugh. Sounds like jabronis Need a red cup party Funny they act like they are so good and are an A team but most don’t have guts to tryout for top guns knowing they couldn’t make it why CR keeps you away from

Coaches line a sideline to see specific players that they have been in contact with or are aware of from their coach working to market the girls to schools that are a good potential fit academically and athletically. Coaching relationships are key in the process. CR is a reference, but not the marketer of individual girls. If you think coaches are showing up to watch a team and find a player you do not understand the how things work. Does a diamond in the rough appear occasionally, certainly, but that is not how coaches spend their time. Bigger programs have deeper relationships because they have a track record. Coaches within any of those programs vary greatly in terms of their recruiting relationships AND efforts to place their girls.

Is that why she has not been around & the Dad has been demoted on the Dad Coaching Staff?

Anyone care to opine on why CR places her tryouts after everyone else's have finished? Is this a case of Forced Loyalty to the Queen bee where you've decided to stay with YJ, or just another in a long line of genius moves by CR where you're already trapped in the hive after tryout results, even if you get placed on Markowitz/Galvin/YJ Rush, God forbid...

Less chance of a kid flipping clubs and she can place them on one of eighth teams in age group

Exactly!! My advice coming from having 3 lacrosse playing kids. Coming into this sport, we knew nothing. Seemed like fun and many friends were doing it. My kids were mediocre at best, but decent athletes. I learned that this sport is all about politics. HOWEVER, if your kid actually works hard. I mean everyday. Doesn't have to be with a trainer, but that definitely helps if you can't/won't help out yourself (most of the best players had/have a parent that pushes them and trains with them EVERY day). So, it's not really a big secret. It's about how hard your kid works. If your kid doesn't want to replace another girl sitting the bench, I recommend she put the hard work in now. She must PROVE in practice why she belongs on the field.

This is very true. Find a spot that works for you. Reading this makes me laugh. Sounds like jabronis Need a red cup party Funny they act like they are so good and are an A team but most don’t have guts to tryout for top guns knowing they couldn’t make it why CR keeps you away from
Tournaments we are in easier to say you can beat us instead of being able Easier to complain in anonymity B players B parents at least TG will play in top brackets through recruiting years

Very true YJ jabroni will be relegated to lower brackets in recruiting tournaments so you are better off being top gun or legacy instead of B or C team. Just go look at recent tournaments for 2023 and you’ll see.

Pretty interesting just went and looked and I see what your saying the top teams are playing each other while B teams are playing other B teams and I see how this would impact recruiting. Never thought to look at that just assumed It to be different thank you

There are always a few Cases where a kid out plays their place on a team but more often than not kids are exectky where they belong Daughters good friend was on B team and went before bottom 10 on blue[/quote]

Would guess prospect days could offset not being on the top team if they perform well.would think if they are On second team Big schools are unrealistic

Does a diamond in the rough appear occasionally, certainly, but that is not how coaches spend their time. Bigger programs have deeper relationships because they have a track record. Coaches within any of those programs vary greatly in terms of their recruiting relationships AND efforts to place their girls.

The issue is the brackets they are in many top coaches don’t even watch the lower brackets

As kids comitt they move kids up to get more looks. It happened with my daughters team

Some of the Red cup parents better clean it up or it won’t matter Seen this ruin a few on my daughters 2018 class

This is pretty much the final summer of “my team is better than yours” college coaches on the sideline next summer and the red cups stay in the car Then it’s about staying quiet and making sure your kid plays a lot our 2021 daughters team learned this the hard way

This is all the B parents trying to justify their kid not making the team and not being good enough “No one wants to play for him so I’m glad my daughter is on the B team “ lolol pathetic Truth is he’s the main reason to be there as long as he will be there which with his boys being at end of travel lacrosse it seems likely but really who cares either way pick a spot that works for your kid and accept they are a B player or an A player for a different club . Daughter plays on TG and it is so easy to see this is all the Jabroni parents saw it first hand at AS drunk in the parking lot in Delaware Read earlier claiming “TG hasn’t beaten any YJ teams “ hey at least we will be on top bracket in front of top schools while you will be relegated to the B fields. Crawl back under your rock

Sounds like panic from the A team to say that the B team won’t be recruited.
Stop it is not true!!

The issue is the brackets they are in many top coaches don’t even watch the lower brackets

As kids comitt they move kids up to get more looks. It happened with my daughters team

Looking at the YJ website it is interesting to see how many D2,3 commitments there are. Many many more than I thought many people living in a dream world

I would like to offer absolute fact to the contrary. Daughter played top team of top club. She kept 15-18 coaches in contact in the loop during recruiting. Sept 1st, all but one called. But all together had nearly 60 coaches called on Sept 1st, all saying they saw her play here, there etc…. I am nearly certain they just go to those games of top teams playing each other, looking for unspecified players. And CR markets her “teams”. But she also is a marketer of individual girls, and not always the better ones, ties and connections with her go a long way for your kid.

FYI - There was only 1 TG player on AS ( Red Team) but I'm sure you would know that.. Be happy

Have heard very similar which is why playing TG or legacy A is better than YJ B,C,D Look at the recent comitted lists and B kids aren’t going to very good places and to the contrary YJ teams across the board have been sub par

There may be a little bit of truth in that in upper grades, but for 2025, YJ has the top 3 teams on Long Island

If your coach isn't doing the work off the field through his network of coaches to help place your daughter it does not matter what bracket you are in.

Too funny. And when your team starts going 2-3 or 1-4 in the top bracket the noise will start about team not being good enough and then mutiny...

Nah no one cares anymore it’s all about getting recruited

Yes, TOP GUNS is the best team now with all the new talent. SS is awesome.

If you keep losing wouldn't you then be relegated to a lower bracket based on how your team performs as the season moves on? YJ 3 teams finished in the top 20. Seems like they eventually wind up meeting as they advance, no? The majority of the coaches for the top 20 college teams show up for the all star games and pluck who they want... Maybe the D3's are roaming the fields for opening day... All new to me. A lot of theories and self proclaimed experts on here telling everyone how it is...

Does a diamond in the rough appear occasionally, certainly, but that is not how coaches spend their time. Bigger programs have deeper relationships because they have a track record. Coaches within any of those programs vary greatly in terms of their recruiting relationships AND efforts to place their girls.

I would like to offer absolute fact to the contrary. Daughter played top team of top club. She kept 15-18 coaches in contact in the loop during recruiting. Sept 1st, all but one called. But all together had nearly 60 coaches called on Sept 1st, all saying they saw her play here, there etc…. I am nearly certain they just go to those games of top teams playing each other, looking for unspecified players. And CR markets her “teams”. But she also is a marketer of individual girls, and not always the better ones, ties and connections with her go a long way for your kid.

Have heard very similar which is why playing TG or legacy A is better than YJ B,C,D Look at the recent comitted lists and B kids aren’t going to very good places and to the contrary YJ teams across the board have been sub par

There may be a little bit of truth in that in upper grades, but for 2025, YJ has the top 3 teams on Long Island

That's a bit aggressive. I'll give you 1-2, but Lomo lost the bridesmaid pillow fight badly and is probably 5th/6th

Relax newbie mom. Go put on your TG shirt and watch your girl benched as you spend weekend a fret weekend away from your home.

So it's better to be on TG A which loses to YJC? or is it better to be on Legacy A which does not leave LI or play any top teams? This doesn't seem to make sense to us but we're new to the sport and trying to learn. To us as long as your kid is happy and getting playing time it will work its way out

Lol! Why would anyone want to be B or C player on YJ when they can be A players on other teams. Even the A players snub their noses at the B and C players, many of which are better than the A players but stuck due to f&f plan. Take the 2023 YJs for example. Mass exodus of B players after they beat the “A” team and got sick of the garbage. They went to TG and Legacy and help build those programs into powerhouses. Watch wear those girls commit to college

post tryout rankings

1. Spalina
2. Top Guns

Are you going to reissue these after YJ tryouts actually occur this weekend, or do you already know who CR is picking up and where she's placing them? If so, please share amazing creskin...

Just go where your kid is happy and try not to ruin it for her it’s all that matters

Sounds like wishful thinking from a new transfer parent hoping they don’t regret their decision of moving their daughter over to TG. How could you say they are now the best when you haven’t even played any games yet? With the addition of those 5 mediocre yj players, my guess is TG will be slightly better then they were before but no chance of beating the top MD, Heroes or YJ teams. Time will tell. Would love to see those match ups to put to rest these silly comments.

They were the top players on a top team. We would of had more join us but UA got in in the way. Others were looking to break out so you know.

Sounds like your a little nervous! Won’t be the first time YJ girls went to TG and made them the the top team on the Island. Much changes at this age. You should settle down and let the girls play!

1 YJ Blue still far and away the best lost 3/4 off bottom of roster not one of their top kids and I’m sure with tryouts they will fill holes
2. YJ B still clearly second best will be interesting to see who they lose to TG or YJ A solid team
This is where it gets interesting
3. TG good team YJ B is 3/5 goals better right now. Adding a few of the lower players from YJ will help a bit but not enough to hop into the 2 spot
4. YJ C solid team competes w top teams but not a team that can beat those top teams Good enough to knock off a TG or YJ B especially with best goalie
5. Legacy. Up and coming team that has improved this past year not able to compete with the top

You are making observations from last years teams. Many girls are moving around in this age bracket trying to find the best situation on a team before recruitment years come. Some of those YJ teams lost 4/5 decent players each. YJC team will def. not be the same. It will prob. Be the definite “C” now for sure. Some of their best left. It takes way more than a good goalie.

Legacy 2025 is getting the BBP head coach.

That’s great if you want equal playing time and don’t care if he puts out girls who can’t catch the ball in close games. Hi d rather my daughter be on a team where playing time is earned and the coach actually plays to win.

Maybe you don't understand that almost all HS level tournaments are showcases format where you are supposed to have equal PT to _show_ players to college coaches. Wins and losses mean next to nothing as long as you can still play in the top bracket. Girls have to be seen to get recruited and that is the job of a club coach. So yes, the guy is doing the right thing by his players.

Finding the right fit that will allow your kid to play get coaching and improve is all that matters

I don't think any of the YJ teams are at all concerned about who left their respective squads as they are each quite happy with what they know stayed and what will be coming in...I'm sure a few surprises still remain. How they each mesh will determine the revised pecking order. All three got better. TG's are excited with their new influx and improved as well... The rest is still the rest...

And yes, I know tryouts have yet to actually happen. but...

True, YJ tryouts have not happened yet, and yet there seems to be a lot of movement going on behind the scenes in this age group? I think with the shuffling, the two top teams will finally be determined as YJ Spalina (A) and YJ Janelli (B) ?

Plenty of movement coming and going between all 3 yj's and tg... save your rankings till rosters are set, and better yet, till the new look teams actually play each other.

Legacy is mostly equal(ish) PT but not always. The starters still start. Coaches will put their foot on the gas for specific games when directed by upper mgt. To say it is always equal PT is false, but as a program, they make sure everyone plays. It's a pretty good balance in my opinion.

Don't forget Jesters didn't develop this team. They hijacked it from 91 with some political moves. Now they are switching coaches again. Sounds like a bad game away from another Jesters melt down.

They were a much stronger group a few years ago when they were with 91, then a few of their top girls left for YJ. They seemed to slowly but surely get considerably weaker as the entire 91 girls side of the organization crumbled a few years ago. One of the dad coaches pulled the group together and carried them over to the Jesters last year. I don’t think most were happy with the arrangements with Jesters and were hoping for much more. 91 girls are back, so.. does that mean this 2025 team will be returning?

Someone should write a memoir about that 91 team, went from top 5 in the country to non-existent in the span of a few months. None of them will return to 91, it's just bandits with corporate rebranding, and Carol rose wins again....

Bro you need to let it go and move on

Only in your rankings were 91 a "top 5 in the country team." I'll give you on LI... Talk about living in the past though...it's over Johnny... heck that team was pre covid which seems like a lifetime ago.

It’s all about getting good training and the playing time. Also, who is going to help your daughter, when it comes time to help with recruiting. From what I hear, both these teams are good in both those aspects. So, where do you think your daughter will fit in more and be happier? What group of girls and coaches seem more to suit your daughters personality? If she’s having fun and enjoying herself, she will do not much better all around.

Take a look at both club websites and tell me who is better at recruiting. Sorry, but It’s like night and day. Legacy has a nice resume of schools for their girls. While the other club didn’t seem to fair as well with the 2022 class. Or at all?!?

Who cares. Is your daughter happy where she is playing, Not everyone has aspirations for the top schools. There is a place for anyone who wants to play in college. As a former player who was not happy at the school my parents wanted me to attend I speak from experience.

I agree that it’s supposed to be fun but my response was in reference to a recruiting comment. For those that are interested in playing collegiate sports then it needs to be discussed. The showcases start next year so it’s not too early to start paying attention.

Top 2025 Long Island Teams according to US Club Rankings-

1. YJ Spallina
8.. YJ Janelli
10.Top Guns Black
16.YJ Lomangino
24. Legacy

Top bunz must have a bunch of "quality losses". Unaware of who they beat to be ranked there...

They are picking up some good players, and so is Janelli. Rumor, 3 top Lomo girls leaving for Janelli. I think Top guns , and Janelli will go up in the rankings and Lomo team will move down with the moves.

I'd say about the same. If your daughter is a starter, I would say Jesters. If your daughter is bottom of roster, legacy, because they play everyone even.

Don't forget Jesters didn't develop this team. They hijacked it from 91 with some political moves. Now they are switching coaches again. Sounds like a bad game away from another Jesters melt down.

didnt that 91 team got to yjs not jesters ?

They were a much stronger group a few years ago when they were with 91, then a few of their top girls left for YJ. They seemed to slowly but surely get considerably weaker as the entire 91 girls side of the organization crumbled a few years ago. One of the dad coaches pulled the group together and carried them over to the Jesters last year. I don’t think most were happy with the arrangements with Jesters and were hoping for much more. 91 girls are back, so.. does that mean this 2025 team will be returning?

Someone should write a memoir about that 91 team, went from top 5 in the country to non-existent in the span of a few months. None of them will return to 91, it's just bandits with corporate rebranding, and Carol rose wins again....

Not sure the details of the merger but it seems like bandits has taken over.

3 lomos to janelli. Fact. 2 starters, each good players and one non-starter. None of the 3 were "best". a few janelli's and TG's to lomo as well. All 3 said teams got stronger. Spallina plucked one or two that he wanted. middle movement across the board. yawn.

Jesters also just got one of the 91 directors who did their recruiting. Any idea if they’re going to hire her to do recruiting for jesters too? It would be a smart move on their end to boost recruiting even more

Just wait for the rosters to be posted bud. Nothing was determined in stone at tryouts today.

That's because LI Jesters club began with the 2023 class which explains why their 23 team is so strong. LI Jesters are just more commited to their players, teams and its success so i just don't see a comparison anymore between Jesters and Legacy. Im not saying anything bad about Legacy but Jesters hands down is better.

Why don’t you wait a few weeks and get back to me on the 2023 class commits. Jesters have one girl who will go anywhere she wants who has only played with Jesters one season, and Jesters have nothing to do with her success. They then will have 2-3 other girls who might go to decent schools. Legacy on the other hand will have a much deeper list of quality commits. Don’t take my word for it…watch! Then tell me who is the better club.

The players that were on the 2022 team that just finished up will be sad to hear that they never existed.

LOL! Daddy 2023 coach relentlessly favors his average daughter. Please stop!!

Average?? LOL well I know one jealous anonymous poster that lost their player evaluation rights. I guess we will see where the average players play in college. Go back to sleep!

"just wait for the rosters to be posted bud. Nothing was determined in stone at tryouts today."

Valid point. Nothing has been made official.

Nothing determined until coaches call each other and tell parents who’s team they will be on and what coach promising a parent that their kid will play

Who comes up with these rankings. Highly doubt these B and C teams will compete with Maryland. Maybe spallina will rank amongst the US. Watch out for the jesters up and coming!

I actually heard the complete opposite. Coaches left and people frustrated.
What happened to 2022 jesters recruiting class?

"Nothing determined until coaches call each other and tell parents who’s team they will be on and what coach promising a parent that their kid will play"

I suspect that has been done already and teams were set. Heck, Jamulli wasn't even at the tryout unless he was in disguise...

She’s a coach of the 24s. I don’t know about her being a director or not, but she seems to have a lot of kids who like her.
Say what you want, but it seems like jesters program is investing in some good coaching and clinics.

She did the 2021 team I believe. According to other websites there are many other 22 commits they just never update their website

they didn’t update their website because 91 doesn’t care about the girls side , run away

No mention of Tilts as a coach on website and no announcement of hiring on social media.

My team is better than yours! My program is better than yours. Your team is a B team.

Exactly, just make sure your daughter finds a team she will actually play on in 6/7/8/9th grade that has good training and coaching ! That will make her better. It comes down to the player when recruiting times come around in 10th grade. Not the team! She needs to Be Playing in games in the younger developing years. Don’t have her sit the bench on an “A” team in those crucial years just to be on an A team.

Seems like a silly move on jesters part not to publicly announce a well known coach coming in. Thought they'd be better with marketing to fill their pockets by now.

What’s so well know about her? Self promoting on here doesn’t make her famous or somebody kids want to play for. I don’t read anything good about her last club..

This is so silly. Everyone accuses everyone of promoting themselves, especially if they have a child who plays. I think the other statement was just asking if she was actually with jesters now, in which I believe the answer is yes but with an older group not our 25s.

I mean being on a strong team is important but not as important as getting playing time

Nothing worse than a college coach watching you sit on bench while the ball hog forces to goal over and over.

And once recruiting time comes, the ball hogs get even worse. In fact, the amount of girls that “go to goal” vs. play as a team multiplies. It can be so frustrating.

It’s downright embarrassing for the girls who go to goal. Don’t they fell so exposed? Everyone knows what their doing.

This should be good

TG Mom/Dad, thanks for your assessment. Stay positive. Janelli and Lomo both got better as well. There were plenty of "headaches" moving around from the top 3 teams (all YJ by the way...). Good luck breaking into the conversation. You are still 4th until you beat one of them...

looks like someone was very happy to see one of the top TG girls go to lomo.

TG/ Lomo parents really working the page lately

Where did the girl who left YJS go?

TG only lost one girl while picking up 4-5 better YJS girls. Have to say they improved, don't think LOMO improved as much?

Nope , I pdon’t think Lomo would beat TG in any games in the coming year. TG improves with big pick ups from YJS and will be a big contender in the 2025 best LI team! Lomo will probably be #3 spot on YJs ?

1-YJS
2-YJJ
3-TG
4-Legacy
5-LOMO

YJJ & TG maybe equal, if they play 10 times they each win 5

Take the picture of that ranking now so you can save it and tell people it was true...

TG got some very good players and it will be an improvement. Why they went to TG is a mystery to me.

Because TG '23s set a tone. The first LI team to take over the YJs. Let's keep it rolling! Yes, I know it huts YJ loyals, but facts is facts!

This is probably a little strong TG was 4th best LI team and added a few players from YJ S that didn’t play very much in the midfield I know the players and while they are nice players they were Not game changers and left because Playing time the others I understand were defenders and I am not familiar with.
Problem with those moves are that those kids leaving their team helped the top YJ team because they grabbed two best field players on my daughters team YJJ plus our goalie. Our team then grabbed a few LOMO kids Think the TG team improved but still the 3rd best on LI Regardless good luck to all the kids in the Fall

yjj lost the best goalie in the 2025 class

YJS added two excellent middies and two goalies. Their losses were also additions by subtraction. Sadly this the best roster they have had. They are hands down the best on LI and top 3 in country.

Get over yourselves newbs. I can guarantee this is no veteran on the YJS team writing these comments. You’re embarrassing yourselves already and you haven’t even touched the field yet.
Beat goalie. Best middies. Lol. Enough already.

We are all excited for your TG enthusiasm and optimism. A few games will be worth 17 pages of this drivel...

Have been the best team without these additions. Additions riding coattails.

Ouch … the truth hurts. Eye opener
Good luck

Pathetic...

This whole thread is insane. These are young girls. They have access to read all of this. Girls have enough pressure from friends, school and life in general. The amount of pressure just being a teenage girl is a lot. So many parents on this and all the age groups are despicable. My daughter playing team sports has been a blessing and a curse. It’s hard enough without some random parent crapping on your accomplishments.

Couldn’t agree more! Being anonymous brings out all the trolls. It’s sad that these kids have to see it.

So true! But the kids see it at every tournament as well! Some of The parents are crazy even when they are not anonymous ! Embarrassing

What about the kid that worked really hard to make that C or D team. What if that’s where they belong and are happy to have had that accomplishment. People stink.

Yes they do! As many in the lacrosse world say… “There is a team for everyone that wants to play. The player just needs to be open to it”. They should add a section about the parent being open to it as well. Usually the player is completely open to it and happy to play the sport they love with their friends and be a part of a team. It’s the player’s parents and the other parents who can’t seem to get past their own egos. These type of parents are all over these forums (anonymous of course) and sadly along the sidelines as well. If the parents would just extract themselves from the process, the players and non-parent coaches would be so much better off.

6th, 7th and 9th? Now that's funny! I'll go out on a limb and say will not be the best in the country.

6th, 7th and 9th? Now that's funny! Is #1 the mommy coaches daughter? Even if not, team will revolve around her. I'll go out on a limb and say will not be the best in the country.

If it wasnt for their goalie, they would be fighting to maintain top 50 status this year... i think top 30 would be a real accomplishment for this team.

This has got to be the kids posting on here.... right? NO WAY adults are making these ridiculous post's

Can we clarify what country before we all respond with laughter?

S2S is making a huge push in the 25 class this year!

if you disagree with the fact that she is one of the best goalies in the age group and allows this team a 20 spot swing in rankings, then you havent been watching her play

Problem with that team is when they involved the parents in the coaching. Just like many other teams, that’s when people have problems. They were a very good team and then lost some good players. So, let’s see how they do this year?

I see the game. Best '25 goalie on the island hands down. They don't need to be in the top bracket to see how good the goalie is, that statement is true though for field players. Goalie is the exception.

YJS and TG black Goalies are just as good if not better than the Lomo goalie. They are a good team, but their additions are nothing to get overly excited about. All the teams seemed to improve on their weaknesses. It is going to be very interesting to see who is improved. It is a process and will take some of these teams the fall to come together. I don't think we will really know until next summer to see which teams really benefited from the movement.

How does the team revolve around the goalie? I thought someone was referencing the other coaches daughter. Either way, probably a good time to end this particular discussion. Looks like all the YJ's improved as did TG. Talent is talent no matter what team or bracket your daughter plays in or for there is just simply more of it on the better teams.

Bracket! Did someone say Bracket? "Is this team playing in the top bracket ? If not, how do you qualify this?"

Um because they still beat teams with losing records in the "top bracket" - hello Top Guns? I guess the talent is there.

janelli will still be good defensively but there is no one left who can consistently score

Oh because the BEST middies left. That’s right😂 Here we go again with this.

Omg first kids? You’re still focused on tournament wins? Lol. This is my 3rd kid. Trust me you’ll soon realize you’re not competing against the other team but actually
your own team too. Very soon becomes all about your kid. Wait until the invite showcase events. Guess what….only 10 or so get invited and the coach picks.

With the new middie Janelli picked up from Lomo, that team will have a very consistent scorer.

-2 +1= -1. Make sure she gets the ball and it doesn't get passed to the little girls

I think you should stop naming a specific player because it's wrong to do it on BOTC, it might be embarrassing for the girl and even more embarrassing if you're wrong. If she's great, she knows she's great, and kudos to her. Besides, the "best" goalie on Long Island will be determined about two years from now - when the offers start coming in from the college coaches, not on BOTC.

Correct... didnt want to embarrass Janelli.

Lol "Didn't want to play Janelli".

You really are in need of some validation, eh?

Sorry other teams disappointed you by not being at the event.

These are not Janelli parents stirring up the site here. My guess is that we have parents from other teams trying to screw with that team. Usually parents that left a team for one reason or another.

Your poor kids... I can just imagine what its like at your dinner tables..
Bunch of crazies here...

You don’t have to imagine who the crazies are, go to a game and listen. You’ll hear them, and they will be all around you! This is LI Lacrosse. Are you new in town? Lol

Ha...born and raised on LI...lol
It's mind blowing how delusional some parents are. Poor kids i suppose

yeah becasue I'm sure in MD,MA,GA,TX, CA,CO,CT,NH,OH, PA and everyother state that has competive travel lacrosse the parents arent having the same kinds of dicussions around the dinner table with they competive daughters.....it's just us crazy LI parents. Can you pass the mashed potato's? ...... that was a great ground ball yesterday which resulted in the game winning goal........

LI parents would never recognize a ground ball as a useful stat.

Is this a joke? They got beat, whether on age or a year younger. There’s not some scandalous hold back situation.

It was Janellis 4th game of the day, back to back and after playing top 24 team and other great comp. How many games did the 26s play and who? Janelli did very well in every game. So, when Lomo and Spalina are ready to play, can’t wait to see the comp between the 25s and see where they all shake out?

Lomo and Spalina had a play date the same time the other YJ teams playerd and lomo won 3 of 4 games.

Janelli had a shot two months ago in a big game and they got beat badly unfortunately as I was hoping it would of been more competitive. Let it all play out it is Fall lacrosse. Teams should be practicing and improving. There are great players on all the LI teams just let them play

Two months ago was not the “new” teams. Yes, looking forward to seeing it all play out. We shall see? Prob. Spalina -A, Janelli - B… then the rest.

They haven't realized that CR never lets her teams play each other. It only happened at her Mitchel Field tournament, and that has been gone for many years.

Those were good times, loved watching B teams beat A teams!

That’s quite an assumption. I think there’s a lot of variables with players choosing to leave, wanting to go to another team. Things have to be pretty [ChillLaxin] for a kid to leave a team especially one that can play

Was a mishmash, team was seperated. Let’s talk after Fall! BTW, where was Lomo again!?!? Practicing? Why weren’t they at another playing opportunity?

Janelli insecurities are comical. "mishmash" "team Separated" "where's lomo". Were you drunk when you posted? Why even post this garbage. An embarrassment to the team.

Worry about yourself...

plenty of competitive tournaments coming in November...

7v7 should be outlawed for club teams, they're awful, and certainly not a good representation of a team's abilities on a full field.

Get your popcorn, November is almost here

we will never find out

he specifically asked not to play her in the fall league because he likely agrees with u

Yes, you are completely correct. I know my daughter would be scared to go up agaist them now. she was thinking about quiting the game all together so she would never have to face them.

why do you think they care? is lomo that good now? if they are why worry about the 7th rank team in the country, why not go after the top dog. Doesnt that make sense?

I think it’s a puffing match to see who the real YJ B team is!? But, if they don’t play each other … hard to know? Question is, what team does YJ Queen put in the B spot at tournaments? If they played each other in the Fall local stuff, she could see! Lomo hasn’t been at anything! 🤔

yes, but you know as well as I do this 10pm fall ball lax isnt the full teams going at it. Kids have other sports and some parents dont want their 14 years old daughters getting home at midnight. I'm sure you would of had better participation if the playing times were a couple of hours earier.

You guys are starting to get into your recruiting years, why do you care what team is better? You are missing the boat here. It is about how much exposure is your daughter going to get moving forward. No college coach cares which YJ B or C team is better? All they care about is your daughter talented enough to play at the next level. period. Only people like you care about who they can tell their coworkers (who don't care) what level team their daughter is on.

Spallina team doesn’t seem to want to play the other local teams either? Janelli has been getting some great competitive games in the Fall league. The competitive play they have been doing in the league, will definitely help them in the Fall tournaments! They look good. Working on their plays in these league games is a great opportunity to get better.

There’s the key word, exposure. That’s why the argument of whose the “B” teams continues. Obviously if you are playing better teams at tournaments, you get more exposure! The “B” team usually gets better comp/games?. Probably gets more eyes on them? I don’t really think it’s for any kind of co-worker bragging rights! 😂

Yes. Look at the schools the B and C teams are going to. That should tell you everything you need to know. Occasionally a B girls will score a top scchool commitment, but that is the exception, not the rule. This class is no different.

So why then would you stay on a B or C team when you can go to another programs A team like TG or Legacy which are always in the top 2-3 brackets?

I predict that the girls on the team that comes out higher up in the standings will be set for life. The fall league results and standings most certainly are important to their futures. The parents certainly all seem to understand the gravity of the situation and have upped their level of intensity. The Queen Bee will be watching intently.

Legacy does not play in top brackets, they don't even play at all top tournaments at this age group. TG does......in my opinion its a better option than YJB or C

No chatter or dart throwing following this past weekend in MD? Shocked. No tourney machine results posted but looked like a bunch of yj 25 teams were all at the same venue...

i didnt even now why they were offensive or what the op was getting at.

Another tough weekend for Spalling this weekend!! STEPS blue with another cupcake schedule? Does STEPS play in any tourney that is not run by the head of STEPS?

they give them that light schedule in case something comes up and they can’t make it

Spallina team played 5 straight games Saturday I believe at Lax for the cure. They picked up another teams schedule. Yes Steps only plays in Steps run tournaments

Well, whatever they are doing it is working for them. Steps is ranked #2, for whatever that is worth, but they pretty much beat whoever they have played against other than Spallina, granted close games, but just win baby!

lomo playing all the top teams while spalina and janelli play no ones

even top guns shows up and plays good teams

I think you should recheck your TSIC app, jamulli played very good teams, and best all of them down like they were Galvin...

"jamulli played very good teams". In the Top Bracket?

Who did Queen Bee put in the top bracket these last few tournaments? Assume Spallina if they were playing.

Come on. You know you've already looked.

Lax for the cure roundup:
Jabroni beat eagle stix, grizzlies, and Philly blast A.

Lomo lost to NXT black, steps, and mass elite A.

Blue smoked Philly blast , steps , and team one wildcat (apparently from Chicago)

why are you so angry.
Calling the man Jabroni really?
you ever talk to him, nicest guy.

To be fair, I'm defending the guy at they easily had the toughest schedule and won all their games.... and I'm calling the team jabroni, not him.

Not sure why I would've talked to him though since I live in MD, I'm just here for the island infighting.

guess his team must have beat your then, because I sense some hostility

They acquired just as good players as that left. One maybe even better! So, they will be fine … just wait and see! Could give everyone a run for their money!

Who are you using for trainers for your 25s? Looking for a good trainer for my younger daughter, 2029, and my 2025 daughter.

what's the word on Junior Open for 2025s? Is it going to be well attended by the top players?

I registered my daughter. Two players who are definitely top 2025s I know also doing it. It looks to be well run but it’s expensive.

What is the cost? Will this be mostly Long Island kids? Will the girls travel for this?

Talked to a few MD moms and seems a few top girls from there are going. Seems to actually be talented girls from all over

Just looked at the American Select Roster for the 2025 in Long Island. LMAO. So they started AS to get away from Under Armour's nepotism to certain clubs. The entire AS Black team is Yellow Jackets. =) I have no dog in the fight but I find it laughable. Next year they are gonna start another tournament to get away from the nepotism of AS. It's gonna be with an affiliate club of Top Guns. After the tryout it will be a team of all Top Guns.
Now I get YJ has a lot of talent, but the whole team. Come on. Let's try to hide it a little.

I see mostly YJ, but also see Legacy, Liberty, and Top Guns girls on there.

What I think this tells you, is that the majority of the top players on LI are playing on YJs teams. I think most can agree to that? That’s the team that attracts them and they eventually end up on a YJ team if a top player. Not ALL top players, but majority do end up playing on YJs. Those numbers you looked up suggest this, as well.

I would agree to that. To an extent. If there were 7 or even 10 YJ on the black team, maybe. But the funny thing is, according to that roster, Spallina's best kids aren't even going to AS. There's 34 YJ kids in the top two teams. Not one Top Gun or Jester player. There has to be a Top Gun player that it better than the 34th best kid on the YJ. Also funny how it's almost the identical amount of YJ kids on each team. I don't buy it.
I have no dog in the fight. My kid wants to go to UA, but to say there is no nepotism at these events would be insane. Just like if a Jesters coach ran it, I am sure he would take kids that don't belong over others. That's the problem letting clubs evaluate the tryouts.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Just my opinion.

My mistake, there are two TG kids playing. One on each team. I was looking at the 2024. Which is still the same argument. .

You think there’s problems with the 2025 selections, take a look at the 2024s. It’s even worse in that year.

Please come back after UA tryouts and let us know what you think of that process? If your daughter a 25 and not on “YJ” Spalina , then good luck with that. Let’s see if you have same take on the YJ thing. Maybe it is the case, that most of the better players are on YJ teams?

Come on. Stop. There's six kids from Galvin's team going.

My daughter was invited to play in the Juniors Open on July 5th-7th. Before we spend any money on it and have her missing club team practices, does anyone have any insight into the event and whether there would be any value in it for a 2025?

I think the girls get better value attending a prospect ID rather than a showcase at the 2025 age. I don't think any of the colleges are looking at 2025 kids if there are 2024s there this summer.

Full disclosure, my daughter is attending AS and UA 150 so I love throwing money away. But I know it will be nothing more than her getting more experience against good players.

The only other thing i will throw out, is 2024 is notoriously a down year in the perception of the college coaches i have spoken with... so there may be opportunity for 2025s to be seen at events like this. But just like most other events you have to weigh the cost to exposure balance. My daughter is signed up, but approaching it more as another chance to compete against top talent rather than as an event she hopes to "be seen."... if the latter is the byproduct, all the better.

“Notoriously a down year in the perception of the college coaches I have spoken with” … can you expound in this? What college coaches have “you” been speaking with? Your daughters a 25? I don’t think you are speaking with any college coaches!! Lol

Yea I agree, the fact that you are claiming the 2024 group is a down group is a joke ! Then claiming to have spoken to handful of coaches and they agree sounds even more comical. Coming on here just to lie is embarrassing. It’s one thing to have an opinion , it’s another to make bold lies.

How many college coaches have you actually “spoken with” with that “perception”? This sounds like a 25 LI parent on a certain LI 2025 team that thinks they are all superstars and better than every 24!!! ??? Not! Maybe you have access to a certain LI coach due to your team affiliation?

All these showcases and tournaments like American Select and Under Armour promote college coaches on scene. I would think they aren't looking at 25s yet anyway when there are 24s and in some cases 23s there. Is this correct? If that's the case, why even go to these events other than competition which you get during the summer regardless going to the top tournaments playing in the top brackets. I would think you are better saving the 1,000$ and hitting two school camps in the summer instead. Curious to hear thoughts from someone with experience in this.

Definitely not looking at 25s! Although some delusional parents think their 25 is that special. Only reason to go as a 25 is for the experience of the showcase. So, daughter Knows what to expect for the year they will be being recruited! They will not be looked at otherwise. So, maybe attend one of these type of events. Other than that, spend your dollars on actual training camps and getting your daughter better for when it is her recruiting year. A lot of the extra stuff before eligible recruiting year are definitely money grabs. Use your $$$s on training and working on getting better, Not showcasing when no one watching!

The above is probably all true. But, when you look at the 2024 talent, it's still not all that great.

Pay to play at its finest!

Anyone have any thoughts on the UA 150 Rosters? Looks like it will be a good tournament. Lots of top programs there. I know it's a money grab and not a big recruiting event, but I think the kids will get good competition out of it.

It's a shame. While this site has many problems, there's not many forums online that has a large amount of users. Could be a wealth of information on this site if the anonymous posters would stop worrying about who made a team or a list and who didn't/

This will be a tough weekend in MD the NY and Mass teams mostly are still in or just finished HS seasons The northern region will improve week by week

did YJA gut Janelli ?

they have kids now who dont look so good

and random coaches

There is no Jamulli / Spallina argument... I'm sure Jamulli / Lamo should heat up soon though... you went 0-3! you went 3-0 but played bad teams! LOL lets hear it!

Spallina had a 1 goal game with a mediocre team. They are easily beatable

The jealousy begins

begins? its been obnoxious chatter for years

its ok to be a slightly above average b team

On another topic... some of the "top 25 teams" have silly schedules for the summer genesis.. like a top 25 team playing all 4 games against teams hovering around 100.... what's up with that? its good for the 100 ranked team to try and pull off an upset... not so much the other way though

I noticed that as well. Kinda hurts in the long run. Even with four 10 goal wins.

Those club lax rankings are nonsense. Losing ranking "points" because you don't beat a team by eight, nine, ten goals is sheer foolishness, and doesn't really send the right message.... To your point about playing lower ranked teams, I've seen where higher ranked teams actually lose points even when winning by 10+, and the ranking doesn't reward you after ten?.?.?.?. Fuzzy math at best and bad for the girls mentally by spending time looking at these rankings rather than just playing the games...

Not a fan of JS but come on. Capital Blue isn't a mediocre team. They also lot to PT by 1. I guess PT beat a mediocre team as well. Or maybe the kids at Capital are starting to get better.
YJS beat beat Heroes Green by 3 and they certainly aren't "mediocre." To say easily beatable is a little much. keeping it real, that team is excellent.

no surprise here

6 of the top 10 kids bailed on the yjb team with all issues going on over there last year

what was out there saturday looked nothing like the team it once was

It was pretty easy to see that the top talent for 2025 was at UA yesterday. So much for AS making it past their first year.

Long Island is the only region that had their top team and players at UA.
And that is all because of JS. Despite what we feel, Long Island isn’t the one and only in Lax. Most top teams from other regions have their kids in AS. American Select will be fine.

They may have been at UA, but will they be at Summer Genesis playing the top teams? No excuses.

Where will the top 24s who are in recruiting year going to be? I think most at AS? I would also think that’s where the top college coaches will be at looking at 24s!

Yes, 100%

they will be at both sites for sure'

Six of ten is a bit aggressive, although Coach Blue did go shopping at Jabroni Mart last summer....

Insane that that parents on Spallina think they are the one and only in lacrosse. Every other top team represents AS but I’m sure they’ll fold next year because Spallina isn’t there.

Roster is up

Wow......... 13 Spalina girls on UA. at least 6 others are from Jesters. What a Joke. 6 Jesters girls make it from a team that has trouble competing at the top level? I hope Caramelli feels better about himself picking all those Jesters girls to pump up his program.. Feel bad for all the girls that actually thought they had a shot at making it. Politics at it's best!!

I saw girls from YJ, TG, Leg, and Jesters at UA tryouts.

We need an AS vs UA game here on LI and skip the drive to MD.

Pretty sure the UA team would spank them. That said the UA other regions are so far weak. Jersey is like a really good rec team.

As stated earlier. It’s only Long Island that has their top kids at Under Armour. Everywhere else it’s AS. For whatever reason. You can’t deny that. Look at the rosters at the other regions.

13 YJ on UA, 17 YJ on each AS team... really?

Yup, and his kids always get picked for these teams despite others being much better players. Really a sad thing for lacrosse. Entitlement has no place in youth lacrosse!

Come on, the need to create AS was for the money. Plain and simple. THREE Long Island teams?

It's the standard CR/YJ model, create as many teams as there are parents willing to pay. It's a smart model.

Let’s also remind ourselves that the best players in the 25’ on Long Island are on YJ A (Spallina). The last 5-6 spots on the roster will be zero factors when it’s crunch time in any games.
The top 26’ kids are doing AS which is a huge Money grab and much easier to make especially when you are in the younger grade of UA. 3 teams for UA come on.
Do I believe some kids were top 20 and didn’t make it; sure but I also know the top kids in the grade made it and the same will be when they announce the roster for the older team today. Best 10-12 kids will make it. after that sprinkle in friends and family; rinse and repeat.

The jesters girls are good players, so are the spallina girls. Why do you care so much?

YJ-A barely beat a Heros Green by 3 goals down 5 girls to injury, and scrapped by a Capital team by 1 goal. Playing 4 tough teams this weekend saw the L's coming.

Right. He just noticed yesterday they were scheduled for 8 tournaments. Noticed right after the day Genesis finalized the roster.

since YJB likes plastering their #3 ranking around even after going 0-3 let them play YJA schedule

they wouldnt score 5 goals all tournament

they should practice more and post less

can someone list me those 8 tourneys? website is only showing 5.

Spotty WiFi in Baltimore maybe I counted more than 5
Live love lax ,summer Gen , lax for cure , G8, US Nationals , !Maryland cup they are also registered for the World Cup festival tournament as is my daughters team in Baltimore. Not sure the 8th tournament they are in

website has 6 posted not 5.....they added 2 and withdrew from 2. They are playing 6 tourneys. Not sure where you people get your information from.....half of the time it's made up. why does everyone care about their schedule if your daughter is not on the team? they have not lost to anyone except heroes in years and they were not at full strength either (multiple injuries and a kid at NYS final 4) when they won by 3 the other day. these are facts not assumptions nor fabrications

Thinks it pretty obvious why. They cancelled for the second year in a row after the schedule comes out because they are short players. Come out and say that Rankings means everything to them and they don't want to play top teams down players. But don't wait until the day the schedule comes out and go "oh we have too many tournaments."

People in Jersey are bored Not sure why people are so hung up on this Sounds like more of an error from the tournament director No team or teams are playing more than 5 tournaments so yes clearly there was a mistake here and coaches and teams don’t register their teams the clubs do

That team knew what tourneys they were registered for, for quite some time now. Why cancel now and not a month ago? I think the tournament schedule has been on the club website for months?

did you make hotel reservations?

If so, did you cancel them before the schedule came out

simple as that

Haha, hope you're not a detective. Guy left his job from New Jersey, went home and then posted from his house in NY.

The fact that you think it was a mistake by the tournament director is ridiculous. For the seventh time. Same thing happened last year.

No matter what the reason, who cares? it doesnt affect you so why are you so bothered?

Nothing on this board affects any of us really, we're here for the trash talk and cheap thrills, pure and simple....

That and to track Jersey's movements all day long.... He's in Westchester atm .

Spallina stud attacker did not play in LI games last night of top 40 Freshman, told due to injury (not substantiated), perhaps that is why they cancelled, did not want to compete without her, assume not given that there are plenty of other girls on the team... who knows?

That is silly. Spallina is not scared of anyone. Why is everyone so preoccupied with what his team is doing. Who cares. Worry about your own team and daughter.

Deja vu all over ……. Crazy posts all summer regarding who’s coaching and in what tourneys, and then they’ll show up at us lax nationals and beat everyone again. 60% of roster hasn’t changed in 6 years nor have the results. People leave team. People join team. Team wins.

No doubt best team in my opinion. But he also did the same last year. I can't see why it can't be both. Not jealous. Was looking to play them because as I said, they are the best. Now my daughter's team plays Eagle Stix which is still a good team but much more beatable. Obvious where my daughter plays now.

When Spallina plays they win, so leave it alone if they drop or are not in certain tournaments. No one can really argue this.

The ranking formula can certainly be argued as tainted. If you keep playing top competition but lose EVERY time team should drop much further down until they beat a team ranked ahead of them. Ditto for teams that win and drop. System flawed and the problem is that parents freak out about the rankings. I'm just yapping into the wind here, I know, but just sayin...

Agreed. Parents should know better, the girls who think they're beaten by a team before they even play is the bigger problem.

Good luck to everyone today. Perfect day for lacrosse!

Janelli had a bounce back weekend, 4-0 despite several injuries... Tales of their demise seem to be exaggerated.

not a relevant team anymore just another b team

the best players left and the rest of the talent isn’t that serious about lacrosse

If you consider the second best team on the island irrelevant, I guess you're right then

Looks like Spallina is at L4C and in playoffs. Is the update wrong ?

Saw that but they then demolished a very good Primetime team. I agree w the previous poster about the roller coaster ride of 9th grade girls

M&D lost to TG, who was beat by every other team for the last 2/3 weeks. Don’t get crazy. YJ will be fine, Heros will be fine, HHH will be fine. Anyone can win at anytime.

surprised to see YJ struggle with Hero's B team in the playoffs.

From what I saw, they barely made it to the semi-finals. Heros white nearly took them out, final score 3-2.

Certainly not their lawyer but beating Primetime by 10 with the quality wins they have this summer is not barely anything. Having not seen the game would guess it was the short games but I do think it’s funny they beat hero’s green by 4 and white by 1. Wins are wins at this age as we’ve seen I guess. No style points

They must have a fan base since it seems like every MD parent went to watch all their games. Wins or losses they still will be the most highly recruited 25s. Sounds like that’s what everyone is upset about.

just happy everyone is getting along better this year

no daddy ball
consistent coaches at every event
attending tourneys
and the girls treating each other with respect when things go wrong

the sky is the limit !!!

What quality wins are you talking about for Primetime. They beat Heros Green by 1, SW by 2. That's their best quality wins. Aces and Capital maybe.

Prime Time lost to Hero’s Green by 1 point at Lax for the Cure……

Primetime beat Hero’s who are ranked #1 PT is ranked 5th

Yes and Hero’s has had 3 subs for the last 4 weeks due to injuries.

Everyone has significant injuries Everyone Please stop acting like it’s only Hero’s. They are the only ones using it as a crutch

They are still showing up and playing without 6 girls. Not sure I can say that about YJ.

I don’t think crutch is the correct word. Hero’s is struggling no doubt, but Prime Time is still losing to them.

How many posts would there be here if you were required to attach your names to it?

Just yours I guess !! Wait……

Yes, we played much better on Sunday. We have a # of key players on the mend & there is a huge drop-off with our new players!!!

congrats to the town of riverhead school board you made a great decision

Is there something wrong with that. You people are nuts.

Got back from Under Armour 150. Play was great. Most teams were competitively balanced. My daughter had an amazing time playing with all different kids. Got lucky with the weather. Recruiting ROI non existent. Saw three coaches (Xavier, Clemson and ND) all weekend watching the 2025 girls once. Figured they would all be watching the 24's but there were a few times where there were no 2024 games going on, but the coaches didn't come watch the teams. Was it worth the 1K plus. Yes if you were going there to just play games and have fun. No from a recruiting standpoint. (Hopefully a 2026 parent sees this for next year.) I am assuming the AS will be the same thing for the 2025, but judging by the amazing time my daughter had, I'm sure she could care less spending my money. Plus this may be the last year where there is no pressure of just playing for the fun and not worrying about messing up in front of coaches.

UA 150 was some of the best competitive lacrosse I've seen, well balanced teams.
My daughter had a great time, so that made it worth it.

Nothing is wrong with it, people are jealous. Same reason people root against the Yankees. Also, the blue team is generally unlikable because people think they have an unfair advantage:

1. D1 coach training the girls and usually matching up wits with little Suzie's Dad during games
2. Farm teams playing at A-E levels to pull from, including elevates goalie system
3. CR - who just wins and wins again, it seems like she couldn't actually lose even if she tried to

2. Farm teams playing at A-E levels to pull from, including elevates goalie system
3. CR - who just wins and wins again, it seems like she couldn't actually lose even if she tried to

Nope. Pretty sure some of the parents from Spallina's team are included with the other nuts on this site. This site should be used for useful information. Instead it's used as a sounding board for parents talking trash about 15 years olds, their team, town or their coaches. And I'm not blind. It's not just here, it's everywhere. I listened to some clown from Ohio for two straight days complain about a 15 year old goalie throwing the ball away in the last minute of a game costing their team 1st place. Guy also cut up the D3 coach who "messed with the lineup." It's what happens when they live through little Suzie.

Is there something wrong with that. You people are nuts.

CRs teams looking much mor weak recently than in the past. No more YJ dominance. It started with the ‘23s and has trickled down.

Figured they would all be watching the 24's but there were a few times where there were no 2024 games going on, but the coaches didn't come watch the teams. Was it worth the 1K plus. Yes if you were going there to just play games and have fun. No from a recruiting standpoint. (Hopefully a 2026 parent sees this for next year.) I am assuming the AS will be the same thing for the 2025, but judging by the amazing time my daughter had, I'm sure she could care less spending my money. Plus this may be the last year where there is no pressure of just playing for the fun and not worrying about messing up in front of coaches.

No 25s are getting watched till November at earliest.

Really? Look at the records! 24’s getting nervous and should be. Not so many going high. YJ has fallen off . FACT

Looks to me like the new coaches still trying to figure out who does what on that team, costing them games.

Same with the YJ 24s as well. Changing up coaching on the two teams before this season is def. Costing them games.

The talent at yj24 hasn’t gotten better. 2-3 really good ones on Weiner team. The rest haven’t developed or gotten slower / out of shape. Gotta be a D1 athlete first.

Juniors Open for 25’s on boys side was not very good Hoping it is better for girls. Son is a 24 that age was organized well. many of the 25 boys parents requested refunds as teams were incomplete and for some games they played the Olympic rules of small sided.

Roster sizes at junior Open for girls is way to large. They needed to add another team and trim the rosters from 25-26 girls to 21/22. Overall play has been okay. Felt skill level at UA150 was better. I did appreciate the 2 hour practice on Tuesday, for girls to get to know each other. Wasn’t a fan of 2024s and 2025s playing 1 game at a time, when there was an open field available. Teams had to sit around 3/4 hours between games.

Rosters too big. Big drop off after first line went out on most teams. It won’t be an event we do again. Not many coaches there for the 24 kids.

Not an event we would do next summer. Coaches allowed girls to play selfish ball. Rosters too large.

You can’t do it next year anyway. It’s only for rising Jrs. ( unless you have another kid). Yes, money grab. Someone made ALOT of money on a useless event. But your daughter did get her roster and photo put up on Instagram. I bet your daughter also played in All LI Lax game. Wake up!

It’s grad year 24 and 25. Talking to parents across all teams say same thing, certain club coaches trying to highlight their club kids who can’t finish at cage. Shame.
Lots of film will be had of those kids turning ball over, so I guess that was worth it. Good times.

25's talent level was higher at UA 150, but liked the team practice and venue for this event.

Yes, it needs to be managed a little better and shortened by a day. Could have done scheduling better as there was way too much time sitting around. Competition was great. Lots of the top girls playing. Don’t see why coaches wouldn’t attend this? it’s great competition

Poor choice of dates right after the 4th of July. Even college coaches want a little down time. Not to mention the first day of the event (July 5) fell during a Dead Period so no coaches could attend that day regardless.

Coaches there today and watching 2025's

Lots of coaches on the side lines at the last game for Champions.

Who attended? Which schools and coaches?

Girls didn't play games on the 5th so they weren't missing anything anyway...

what were they there for then

I guess they came to see the winners of the bracket. Stanford, Denver, Virginia, many others,

Coaches were definitely focused on 24's but my 2025 had SportsRecruits looks from coaches there during her games so they must have been paying some attention to 2025s? It was a fun event but not the best use of funds for someone on a budget.

Check in and each team had a two hour practice. I thought it was a well run event, quality competition, and the girls seemed to enjoy getting to know each other.

Stanford, Colorado, Rutgers def watched 25s on last day.

Coaching varied a ton by team. Our daughter's team got real coaching. even put in some plays and D schemes. Other coaches did nothing buy manage subs.

Only complaint was that the rosters weren't balanced by position at all. Our team had 7 defenders while some others had less than 4 and had to rotate middies through.

Same happened at UA 150. Many teams had 12 midfielders and despite emails saying you would play the position you signed up for, many middies were playing defense. Lotsa parents were upset.

Juniors Open was a disgusting money grab. You fell for it. Next time donate the money to a charity if you’re going to throw it away anyways.

Where were all the promised coaches at Juniors? There was some, but def. Not the amount that was said would be there. That’s too bad. Was great competition and would be a good event if coaches came. Maybe just dragged out a bit. Needs a little tweaking with scheduling, make more affordable and get coaches there. Who cares about the media stuff?! Need coaches there watching!

Agree 100% with this. Thought it was well run, but if the coaches aren't coming to watch then it won't last long.

Especially, not for what it cost!

will YJA have any new players on the roster for nationals like last year?

steps could not have been happy based on what happened last year

YJA YJB and YJC have always been interchangeable. Was funny last year hearing the kids cheer the girl taking the draw. Wasn’t a very common name although they have two of them on the A team. B and C had the same two as well. 😁

B and C YJ teams are interchangeable with the A?????
Name one year where that’s the case?

25 Jannelli is very good but still 6-8 goal difference with Spallina.
26 big difference
24 is 8-10 difference
23 huge separation between A and others.

No knock on B and C teams at YJ, just can’t justify them being in the same tier

the new player last year came from another club

Do yourself a favor and read last year's thread, much more UN-moderated and some really good material. The whole four horsemen saga was fantastic, and turned out to be complete nonsense....

Thanks. It was entertaining. Funny how all the top teams bend the rules as much as possible. My daughter and her friend watched the championship game on the ride back last night after getting bounced. They weren't shocked that the reclassed Steps 16 year old was allowed to play in the nationals. They said she posted her game winner on Instagram so it wasn't like they were hiding it.

Yes, just another holdback. Not impressed.

Rules for US Lacrosse Nationals: All players competing in the 15U division (2025) must have been born on or after 9/1/2006.:

I believe girl in question was born in September of 2006. No bending of the rules.

I have heard different stories of her age. Doesn’t matter. Still should change the rule to be more like all other sports. Your born in 2006 you play with kids born in 2006. Would stop the ridiculous reclassing.
