Did it and won. Where were you?

I am willing to bet it is not even a parent associated with an MD club, just some schmuck that has nothing better to do than see if he can start a fight anonymously.

We have been traveling to play MD teams for years and I have met dozens of MD and PA parents and kids and they have always been 1st class competitors. Likewise most of the families on LI are also 1st class. However, in all cases we have some nut jobs and apparently one or two of those nut jobs have infiltrated an otherwise enjoyably sight where I come to see what is going on with this age group.

Like anything else in life, take what you want and leave the rest. Simply don't respond to the nut jobs and they will get bored and leave.

As for the re-class year, anyone can do it, I choose not to follow that trend. While it may be helpful on a lax field and in some cases academically, it is not the right decision for my family even though that might put my son at a advantage for a coveted d-1 lax spot.

I love the sport and would love for him to play at that level, but would much prefer that he keeps his straight A gpa and goes on to a successful, meaningful and productive life and career.

Lax is fun, but until they start giving more than 12.5 scholarships and until the pro teams start paying real $, it will remain just that-fun.

Direct from USLacrosse.. "U13:
All players must be 12 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition. It is recommended that when multiple teams exist within a program, the program should consider physical size, skill, and maturity when organizing teams."

I must have imagined all the guys with sleeve tats yelling for "Johnny" or "Vinny" to knock somebody out.

When?

WOW! That put an end to this thread. Good!

Express Piranhas? Are they a 2018 team?

yep!!

The Express 2016 is a pretty good team. The Turtles 2017 is an excellent team.

This Express 2018 team is just ok.

Was probably referring to the Dicks TOC this winter.

Who are you? Ah, I get it, you want to see who takes the remark and argues it?

Better luck next time...Have a nice day.

Express 2018 wasn't there.

Saw the turtles two years ago and they were great. Are they all 9th graders now? I assume half have verballed

You cannot ask a simple question on this board without some sort of sarcastic or rude response. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Yes they are the 3rd team in 2018 for Express. 1. Terps 2. Wolverines 3. Piranahs

If the Terps are the best 2018 team on LI, you guys are in trouble.

I didn't think they let the inmates out for the weekend? Maybe they are giving you internet access now?

What don't you get. They are the best team for Express in the 2018 age group. No one said they were the best team on LI.

Don't play into this guys hands, he started the last thread with the exact same statement. IGNORE HIM!

You are right....this is clearly a kid or an adult with a very small brain.

Just for a laugh - How true?

Back to Lacrosse. The 2018 group is filled with many talented players. I've heard some have been asked to play at the HS level.

Are there any playing on Varsity?

Any playing/starting JV?

Please, no BS and no names. Best to all the players at this age group.

Ward Melville doesn't allow

I know Connetquot has 3 8th graders on JV..who start..

2018 terps scheduled to play 91 and crabs Saturday. Love to play the best around and not have to drive...

Lemme guess. Extreme kids ?

2 out of the 3

No conflict of interest there...lol

I could name about a dozen players who played for their dad coach at a H.S. program. Usually the coaches kids are very good. I'm sure this is the case here.

So true!

Danowski and Rotanz come to mind... No question of the kids talent in those two cases...

Where and when are they playing?

Same situation with Connetquot. Coach's son is a stud, who was completely toying with the middle schoolers as a 7th grader!

Big deal JV is a joke.

If they are that good Im sure they will go to one of the Catholic schools next year.

Matt Danowski did not play for his father in HS, John Danowski was coaching Hofstra at the time. When given the opportunity to play for his dad, Matt chose Duke over Hofstra. I am not sure of his grades but maybe he couldn't get into Hofstra (for all you Express parents the last part was a joke)

Anyone have insight into the Nat Invite Best of Best individual showcase for 2018's on July 4th? Was invited but would like more info than the site provides before registering.

Any insight is appreciated. Please don't tell me it is a money grab - I think they are all money grabs - it is the one thing I know already.

Nat 175 has historically been a very good venue, organizers have great connections with many College coaches. The 2018 events they added are specifically for those kids who are trying to play at the D1 level. They say they are capping the grade at 84 players. Which equates to about 4 teams. It seems that 175 added this because the coaches are looking for showcase type venues to observe 2018 players this summer. Whether we agree with it or not, it seems like interest in early recruiting is accelerating with no signs of slowing down.

Does anyone have any insight into the 3d Box/Field Elite Mid-Atlantic camp?

Worst case its just a really good (overpriced) clinic. Keep in mind the Brine is Jun 30, July 1st, 2nd & 3rd. And Best of the Best is the 4th. And the weekend before is huge tourney weekend.
