By the looks at how they usually play come Spring, I can tell you what they don't do over the winter: PRACTICE

Depends on team and what the parents request from coach or they organize on their own. Outlaws don't practice in winter otherwise.

The second team plays in a league and has indoor practices scheduled. Also they have played in Santa jam at Hub. Team has been busy.

B club

B club wanna be. They are a C club because PB is a total jerk. He is a D owner and doesn't know how to speak to people. You don't get a mass exodus of kids if kids want to be there, believe me.

Show me any club and I'll show you a line ten deep of parents willing to complain and badmouth that club, especially when those parents are given a forum in which to do so anonymously. Anything said on here has to be taken with a grain of salt. It's really disgusting that parents who act friendly to each other on sidelines, while their children play on the same team, will then run home and from behind the protection of their computer screens, badmouth and disparage those very same people. It's scary that this is the example we're setting for our kids. Not every club, coach, and team is a good fit for every kid, or parent, for that matter. Unfortunately, one size doesn't fit all. If you're happy where your kid is playing, stay where you are. If you're not, move on. Just because a team is not the right fit for you and your son, however, doesn't mean it's not the right fit for mine.

Isn't his son the coach of the team where everyone left? Don't know if it purely PB's fault alone.

That's why we left. Our new team has 3 coaches on the field at all times. Practices are 2 days per week. It works for us.

Someone is just trying to stoke the fire in this age group. Make whatever comments you want but there is no dis-function on the Outlaws 2023 1st team. The coach is great and is a motivator. He is teaching the boys and there is real talent on the squad. Do they have the depth of some of other LI teams? Probably not and this may be why it will become more difficult to compete but the kids are encouraged and, in their minds, feel they can compete. At least for this team, put aside the past as it is old news which has been covered extensively in the fall. It's a different team and the head coach has been great. He is approachable and accessible. Kids have one team practice a week in the winter and can sign up for Outlaw or other clinics to supplement.

Don't sweat it. Some people are just bitter. There are lots of good teams. Maybe that guy's son is a player from one of the top 5 teams (Igloo, Express,Bandits, Warriors, S2S) but plays 10 minutes a game. Is that worth the $$, travel, etc..? Not to me. Id say it's best to find a team that your kid plays quality minutes. That's way more important.

Can you guys stop with the top teams this is 11-12 year old Lacrosse. My son is on a so called top 5 team and is a starter. A co-worker of mine son is on a so called B team and he is as good as my son probably better. Oh my god did a parent actually say another kid could be better then there own. Anyway stop harping on the top 5 teams, your kid is better then another kid, Who cares!!!!!! half of these kids may not even play as they get into HS. Like the prior poster stated there is nothing useful on this thread.

So Travel Lacrosse evaluators, Coaches and assistant coaches have passed on little Jimmy for a few years and yet " yet he makes the so called "A" players look silly when he blows past them."

And you are of the perception that its his height???

This could be the classic "B" team Dad seeing what no one else sees. Holy delusional. Keep plugging away. Nothing wrong with B teams but there is a reason why he gets passed over. His height???? C'mon Man!!!

I get a kick out of the politics behind how the kids get chosen for travel teams on the top club circuit. I've been in the scene with my boys for 10 years (one of them 2023). My 2023 son is better than his friends and he's on a "B" team because of his height, yet he makes the so called "A" players look silly when he blows past them. He has been overlooked because we don't play politics with the owners or coaches, and at previous tryouts the evaluators only look at height. My older son has become an amazing player with A+ grades. It'll be fun to watch him get recruited to a top lax school when he was always on a "B" club for most of his youth.

My son is also short and he also blows past the bigger kids and makes them look stupid. He is very difficult to defend. He plays for a top club and get asked to play for others. I think the evaluators are probably looking at your height, not his. Either that or they don't want to hear your mouth. Start looking in the mirror, pal, that's likely why your kid plays where he does.

Says the b dad... short kid dual . A VS B.
If you can play lacrosse you will get noticed no matter what the dimensions.
No excuses.

Would love to match him up against you and your son so he could not only make you look silly, but also kick you in the nuts!
