Liar - Liar.

Guess you think your kid isnt good enough. This is all on Warrior they went to Express and 91 to run this region. They also went to other regions and asked the best clubs in those areas to run the ones there.

Why do people even care about this. I doubt the coaches care either its end of the summer and many kids will decline invite as it is expensive

Not all of us are worried about money. I own a tanning salon and a teeth whitening service. The little Bandit coach has already paid me enough for my kids to get through undergrad and grad school at Harvard. And I have 9 kids!

Making bank on short guys overcompensating!

Warrior names up--- gotta love the coaches sons/relatives on the team--
kids who werent at tryouts
whatever

26 kids on 2023 total money grab
love the last names of kids on team, just like the coaches -- so unusual, and kids who werent at try outs on rooster

Kids have to actually accept playing

How can I see who made the team . My son did not try out but I am curious as to who made it . It sounds like they already knew who would be making the team and the rest was a money maker .

Every kid on the team was at tryout. Your kid just wasn't good enough. Reality is hitting you harder than Tyson right now. Roll with the punches and buy him a tennis racquet.

AJ's kid made it???? That is the biggest laugh of them all.

Nice job AJ, way to be unbiased. Daddy's boy, BM would have used better judgement.

I bet half the kids decline. The price is too high

Warrior posted the names on their Instagram page. Look for Warrior All-American team

The timing of this event is just as horrible as the price.

Was his son even at the tryout or was he one of the grantee spots

Classless. Glad your kid got cut from Express.

Regans another one. Horrible player. AJ's butt buddy.

What happened to the stud goalie Haugen had to have. Not as good as everyone thought. his name not on list

Hate the event leave kids names out Everyone is getting nuts over an overrated event that people will pay large amounts of wasted money for

Hey idiot. I'm still on Express. Just didn't
Make this team.

because the majority were supposed to be 91 players. Now you know. Don't sign up next year.

Express goalie and Igloo goalie were the two best goalies at the tryout. And it wasn't even close. Just another casualty of the typical politics. They weren't the only one's either. It's a shame. Maybe a donation to the Stony Brook Girls Lacrosse program or a lifetime supply of shoe lifts would have gotten him on.

He didn't tryout and am guessing the video got lost in the mail.

So true. 91 goalie, while good, was the worst at tryouts. Maybe he had a bad day, but his clears were terrible and he couldn't stop anything below his belt. Like I said, maybe just a bad day. But if this tryout had any legitimacy at all, that kid would not have made the team. That's one of about 4 GLARING errors with this roster where Bandits made it over others. Listen, every kid they're was very good, without exception, but this was supposed to be the best kids. A bunch of Bandits made it because their parents are on their knees in from of D-bag JS.

Express has the largest representation for a middle of the road team. People can beat up 9-1 but just look. My son did not make it and we used it as a Barometer. From an outsider Bandits should of had the most representation

The new Haugen express goalie didn't try out he was on vacation bravo to his parents for not changing plans --
He has clears that of a high school student he's really good
It's a shame he didn't tryout

Mentioning kids by name is not cool. Spew your venom & jealousy but leave the kids out of it.

One would think the best teams would have most kids but somehow express has by far the most hmmmm Channy made some decisions behind the scene

What is the break down of club teams of the kids that made it?

The express goalie was on vacation he didn't try out
He has the clears of a hs goalie he's good

Nah too prestigious

Agree with this post but the original is so true. Kid is horrible

This is nothing more than a $2500 total cost lacrosse tournament. You parents are nuts. It's 6th grade and none of this matters at all. There will not be one College coach taking notes on these kids. It's such a total waste of money. The competition between clubs on LI is more than enough for our kids to compete and get better. This roster far from respresents the best kids. Outside of JS kids who are very good; the other coaches kids don't belong and there were plenty of kids who didn't show up.

I would guarantee if we ran a FREE tryouts for a top team on LI kids and the cost to go to the tournament was free....... we'd compile a team of kids who would kick this teams A$$.

You are wrong. With the exception of a few players, these are the top 6th graders on LI. There are kids that could have or should have made the team instead of a few of the selected players but move on. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter but being selected gives the kids a boost of confidence which is immeasurable.

I wonder if the other regions are as messed up as LI and teams are determined ahead of tryouts?

Think the way Warrior set it up set people to select the team the way it was. All those kids on one field for only two hours provided very little opportunity for kids that were unknown to make an impact.

Some of the better kids didn't even tryout. Their parents dont need some bs money making scheme to legitimize their kids talent.

Team is not the best because my son isn't on it.

That is the Truth. While the kids selected are all great players. I know of 3 kids that tried out (not all 2023) and were not "known" kids but were tremendous players. Non of those 3 made the teams.

While everything people say is all true. But let's look at it this way. If playing on the best teams against the best teams wasn't important, we would all just play PAL. Whether this is all driven by parents, kids whatever, I think some kids/parents are driven by these mile stones / tryouts/ tourneys etc. whether it's Brine, warriors, under armour , etc etc. stick in hand is good. Unfortunately this is a complete rip off. No one needs a helmet, gloves, etc. brine is 400 all in. And you get 4 days. With games and practices
