Oh look, the queen beee is here posting. I guess it's a good change of pace from making empty promises and running a subpar club program that is stuck in some nasty honey.

AS others have said it will take time and commitment for this program to really develop and gain a foothold in the area. They have to start somewhere. At he HS level they are only going to get families that are newer to club lacrosse or disenchanted with their current team. Give them 5-7 years and then lets see. Unfortunately, in my experience, no new lacrosse programs in our area have been patient enough to build a reputation and stick with it for the long term. PRIDE seems to have some staying power but most fade away as the passion fades. Lets see what YJ can do to attract and retain talent n their younger teams....i do agree seems crazy to have a 22 team and charge them for less than a year of competition. Suppose that was a re branded Rattlers team?

All of the teams are just re branded Rattlers teams with lots of empty promises.

As a newer family I am not impressed. There were many things promised and we have received nothing but confusing emails that are not coherent from the director most of the time. Considering the cost and poor performance of the overall club we will not be back. IMO I believe they will be able to make it as the current leadership has already dimmed any prospect of a prosperous future. Even replacing her now will not fix the reputation, the damage is done.

Hopefully someone has dropped a case of Spectracide on this unBeeelievable joke of a program and put it out of its misery. It's almost spring time and the flowers aren't blooming with this Bear ravaged hive.

NGLL season is coming up soon. Looks like the little stingers didn't make the cut for playing this spring.

American Select team results are out. How many YJs made it. Certainly a strong presence at tryouts....

[Anonymous]

A significant amount of YJs were from their south team, not their Mid Atlantic program.

That’s buzzworthy. RJ

As we saw with UA, it will be a buzzkill when those not ready for prime time girls get stomped in DE.

The False promises Queen Bee is coaching the 2023 AS team, so I'm sure there are some that will be chosen. Such a shame to see this tainted with bad honey.
