It's the start of the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group
Anyone go to the Tomahawks this past weekend? How was it?
So I hear there is a ton of interest in the Outlaws at this age group? I think they will get a lot of attention from Express kids that didn't play and if the other team combines it will create overflow to Outlaws. I think we should all be smart and take our kids there.

There, it's settled. Outlaws it is.

Promoting tryouts doesn't really help is my opinion. How about list the coaches for each team. This is what I would love for all clubs to do. People follow coaches, it's that simple
There are going to be some unhappy former Smash and United parents and asst. coaches in this age group soon.

Shame... to have such a rare thing as two elite teams in one club and break that apart is such a mistake in my opinion. No I am not a parent of that club, just shocked because I don't see the ones that don't make it staying. Good news is plenty of options for those kids.

On top of it they are recruiting top players from other clubs. Creating a dream team. Will be untouchable
All the Maryland teams beat up on smash all year they need to rebuild.
Yeah, not really. Outlaws is a B+ team. No kid from smash, United, express, igloo or any other A team, town or travel, would leave to go to Outlaws. Unfortunately for the B+ teams, the A teams will get stronger this year and there will be more separation between A and not A but outlaws should dominate the B bracket.

Not really. You can only play 10 and teams will shorten the bench. This is the business of winning.There is little separation between the top lines on the top teams. Just comes down which goalie makes a critical save or a field player makes a big play, etc.

Recruiting kids from other teams ? You mean soliciting. And I'm sure you know those kids will leave a place they are happy at for this "dream team" you seem to be part of.
Beat Hawks
Lost to 91 MD by 1 goal
Tied Bethesda and Lost to them by 1 goal
Killed by D-Backs
Hardly "Beaten Up"
Yeah sorry, but outlaws were an A team last year, big time interest in them this year. WI'll move up a few notches behind express and 90+1. Unless express loses their Manhasset kids to igloo if they follow KC. Lots of things going on this year.

Manhasset kids should definitely follow KC , 91 kids who don't make "combined" team will leave ...all looking to go to igloo ..should be very interesting to see the change in teams this year...

the core team is not moving anywhere from express like they did last year. united was all the hype this time last year and look what happened. just do what's best for your kid.

if your kid likes screaming in their face the entire game, smash/united and/or outlaws is a good choice.

that's what they were trying to do with United. the behavior of the coaches trickled down to the players. it was pretty disgraceful
Outlaws and TLI can try and create as much attention as they want. They are both glorified B+ teams. Every time they played in a real A tournament, they were beaten up. But that's ok because they do well with the alliance they are in.... Keep avoiding 90+1 tournaments, and beating your chest that you are an A team.
Yes Igloo.
Igloo 2022 is in every game they play. They are a FOGO away from being best team in group Lost to Smash at laxfest by 1 goal, and lost every faceoff.
Lost NXT finals to Annapolis cause they lost every faceoff.
Lost to United too maybe 1 out of 3 at FO
Only piece of

Thanks for your opinion. Outlaws don't need a huge influx of talent. Already competitive. Keep us rated B+ ! It doesn't matter to us. Takes a lot of pressure off of us and onto you when we play you. Great coaching staff is getting all kids to improve.

EVERYONE get on the Outlaws train!!!
Outlaws come to Maryland.
TLI at this age are no more.

Team LI plans on fielding a team at every age group. Coach from 2022 age group left to take a paid position with a competitor, he was a great coach but we have a replacement
THE OUTLAWS ARE THE BEST CLUB OUT THERE!!!
Ignoring record and skill level.
Well, like most teams on LI, they have a nice douchey name. I think the directors take it as a personal challenge to come up with the most ridiculous team names.

My Son's play for FCA and Crabs. Certainly not jealous. Maybe FCA should have opted for Bible Thumpers or something?
Seriously. Smash, Crush, Outlaws, Hitmen? I could go on.
Sounds like adult softball or hockey league.

[lacrosse], Crabs isn't much better. Something that craws around in the bay or even worse it is a STD, lice found in pubic hair of humans. Take your pick. I like the second one as it best mirrors the Crabs youth lacrosse organization

How was the talent pool? This is a very talented and competitve age group. Good luck to all the boys!
The talent is the same at every age group respectively. Go on the other age threads. You hear the same BS. I do because I have multiple kids playing.
Agree... there is a lot talent at this age. It will be interesting to see these teams coming out of tryouts. None of the top 3 are taking a step back.

Haha, so true! There is talent at every age, no more or less! I have multiple kids as well and laugh every time someone comes on here bragging about talent at certain age groups!

Who was bragging? Post simply said or implied that for a bunch of 6th graders, they have talent. Good luck to your "multiple kids". SMH

who are the top three teams? because United and Smash are supposedly combining because United's plans didn't pan out.

You wonder why the sight is filled with the garbage that it is. The above quote from the moderator in response to the discussion of the Crabs name...

A lot of good teams out there, but it is unlikely that another LI team will surpass Express, Icebox, and Smunited at this age group.

Actually it's Smash's plans that didn't pan out. And they are not combining. Open tryout with new kids and taking the best players. Well most of the best. I'm sure a few might sneak on .

Really?? Guess what, you turkey, I could care less what you think of me. Go find somewhere else to be, will ya?
Oh and news flash, this site was filled with garbage long before I got here.
I'm not a smash parent (egads!) but lets be honest the MD kids are a good year, year and a half older than the LI kids. And that's just the kids on the MD teams, not the guest players they recruit.

Exactly my point. It was in response to the previous post. Calm down

This sport is largely grade based and yes this is what happens. Incessantly complaining about it doesn't change a thing. US lacrosee has responded and adopted the new guidelines that they requested go in effect next season. Let's see which clubs adopt it and which don't
I'm not a smash parent (egads!) but lets be honest the MD kids are a good year, year and a half older than the LI kids. And that's just the kids on the MD teams, not the guest players they recruit.
You're right. You're not a smash parent. Anyone who uses (egads!) must be a grandparent

Doesn't it get old making the same excuses? What was that in response to? Or are you still bitter about some game your son lost? NY cut off is 3 months later, so year and a half is a bit much. I know, every kid bigger than yours is a hold back, blah, blah, blah.
I'm not a smash parent (egads!) but lets be honest the MD kids are a good year, year and a half older than the LI kids. And that's just the kids on the MD teams, not the guest players they recruit.
And in many cases, the MD kids are the same age or younger. Their schools go by 9/1 cut off which means that with the exception of reclassed kids, roughly one third of their rosters might be born in '03. The rest are spread over 1/04-8/04. That's not an advantage worth using as a crutch. We all know who the clubs are who attract holdbacks, and it isn't more than a handful.

You're right. You're not a smash parent. Anyone who uses (egads!) must be a grandparent
So LI teams never recruited? Do not have at least 1 holdback on every team?
attracting holdbacks? Only one club in MD actually encourages parents to hold their child back and it starts at 6th-7th grade level. Age guidelines and class year teams have some type of holdback. Its not a terrible thing except where it is the norm. So lets be honest
that igloo team is pretty darn good as is. didn't change roster midseason like others / guest players. teaching the kids the right way to compete...with integrity. win or lose.
Is that the same team that were guest players on the Dukes that crushed the Igloo B team? Talking integrity on this board is laughable.

they were not guest players-part of the original team -get your facts straight or stay quiet
And they played against their own B team. Got it. Got the facts. Thanks
And they played against their own B team. Got it. Got the facts. Thanks
So what? The clubs don't own these boys. Can play whenever and wherever they want.
And they played against their own B team. Got it. Got the facts. Thanks
Why do you care?????

And your point is?
The only awesome Igloo Black Ice team is 2021! Now that is a team with great coaches, kids and integrity...watched them play and they represent LI lacrosse. They do not have parents like 2022 A walking around with their kids bio and YouTube videos selling their kid's talent to anyone who will listen. The gaps are closing up!

If you can play on Express, 91, Igloo, fl$ or Team Long Island A team, you should. As boys getting older and will start recruiting soon, I would stay away from second teams in an organization.

It comes down to the coach and his commitment to the team. There are Lotsa of examples of 2nd teams that are great and some not so great, we all know that. Get a dedicated coach and you'll be happy. So don't stay away, call the coach, get his plan,ec. Ask all the questions up front and the decide.

Your B team coach can be committed, but good luck getting organization to get your team in the Philly showcase or adrenaline. Or getting players individual invites to showtime or jake reed. That is where you will have problems. You have another year before you need to worry about that, but get yourself on an A team if you are a player who thinks they can be recruited early.

Not entirely true. Clubs have connections that some do not. Also you can't club hop to say you're on an A team because a 2nd team you have concerns over. Do the research, ask the questions, call the coach, call the director. If your son gets good coaching and plays at a level that challenges him, you'll be fine.
Express tryouts today, let's see the drama!
Playing on those teams and not being player 1-15 is a waste of time. Better off getting pt and improving.

Your B team coach can be committed, but good luck getting organization to get your team in the Philly showcase or adrenaline. Or getting players individual invites to showtime or jake reed. That is where you will have problems. You have another year before you need to worry about that, but get yourself on an A team if you are a player who thinks they can be recruited early.
Entirely true!!!! All clubs can not get you in these spots, but NO CLUB will put B teams in those spots!! NONE
Not entirely true. Clubs have connections that some do not. Also you can't club hop to say you're on an A team because a 2nd team you have concerns over. Do the research, ask the questions, call the coach, call the director. If your son gets good coaching and plays at a level that challenges him, you'll be fine.
Tryouts are over. Who would you pick? United with Coach Campbell (RC) or Exp A Channy?

Were you dropped on your head recently ? A team or B team. RC great coach but Express is top team.

You saying United is A team and Smash is B?
Depends on the kind of kid u have. Lean towards United
The better coach will make your son better. A, B, best team is all eye wash.
United will be a solid team, this year as well as the elite team that was put together. Outlaws upgraded supposedly. Igloo upgraded too apparently. How do you know express is the top team?
any opinions on the Mike Winkoff teams?
any opinions on the Mike Winkoff teams?
They do a great job and play top competition. I think they already had tryouts ??
Winkoff team will be most improved- will compete hard with the best. Kids from GC, Huntington, CSH came aboard.
Tryouts are over. Who would you pick? United with Coach Campbell (RC) or Exp A Channy?
Exp A and its not even that close. You shouldn't waste time thinking about it. United is not the same team, they are just keeping the name and that's about it. United will not compete with any of the top clubs as they have done in the past. They are a true B team now.

What team does he coach?
Are the teams set for Express AA, A, 91, Igloo A, B and Outlaws As, A, B?
No
That not true. Teams were picked before tryouts. They were trying to get a few pieces to replace some weaker kids from last year. I heard some kids never even tried out and were put on the select team. I think that's criminal to take peoples money knowing they will not make top team.

Every year. They do secret practices with new kids. Absolutely promise them spots. It is amazing people bring this up every year and seem surprised.

I think the new names are Elite and United. I personally Liked "Smash these United Nutz" better.
Elite team is going to be very solid. I think it is made up of half United and half Smash Kids and a couple of new kids. They are going to be strong at every position and I am guessing they will be the team to beat this year and the favorite to win the WSYL.
With regards to United or Channy. It depends, if you are one of Channy's favorites and plays than stay with Channy. If you are not one of the top 15 players on Channy's team don't expect to play in tight games. Then I would go to United.
There was kids switching teams this year but not as much as I expected. Igloo and Outlaws got better. I don't know about express, but if they lost the big lefty to a Texas team then they took a step back.
Looking forward to another great year at this age group. Best of luck to all the players

That comment was for Outlaws not Express.
Winkoff is a crook just like the others. He'll take your tryout money but make a deal with certain towns and cut kids who have been on the team.
It's not a crime when YOU are handing them the $$$

Winkoff is a vindictive piece of garbage. Have heard too many stories about this guy and how he treats people. I'm glad his 2019 team fell apart. Karma is a [lacrosse]!

You are wrong I know for a fact that Outlaws do that because my son received a call last season. You guys are very quick to attack the Outlaws but are a first rate organization. Think the real problem is Mommy and Daddy have an unreal expectation of where Little Johnny fits in
Outlaws are a legit B team, A- maybe. Decent coaching, they pull some good kids from around where they are based. They never compete with the better teams. Here is the issue, and it's not a knock on the outlaws lax program, the parents are so douchey that when they get one big win a year the parents start acting stupid like the team is an A team. It's the most insecure parent organization there is.

This is most accurate statement ever on BOTC!
We had a fine season w fl$ a few years ago. Respected their philosophy for the younger guys (skills vs winning). Practices / communications weren't great, Lost all respect for Mike W when our son decided to move on. He was nasty and condescending. It validated our son's decision for us.
We will see. My bet is outlaws wind up in the top 3 on LI this year. Right with 90+1 and express. Igloo right there too. Legacy got better also. Everyone quick to jump on outlaws. Look at what this age group has done the last 2 years. 1 win? What about playing express tough 5-6 times. Smash 2 goal game that outlaws outplayed them. Igloo a 2 goal game. Give credit where credit is due. They are a good team that can compete and will compete with anyone. They have added a few big pieces too.

That's a common theme when dealing with Mike. The rest of the management of that organization is much better, but Mike ruins it.

Hi mike ! Great to see you on BOTC!
I admire the optimism but outlaws are not in the same conversation as express , 91 or Igloo. At least not yet. Good luck though. Parity is good for everyone.
After watching tryouts the last two days I hope that Iglo is willing to make some changes to both the A bad B team to be more competitive . You need to be able to score against the better teams so please put kids out their on the fields that can do so. . Here is hoping they do so because both teams could be pretty good.
No way. Igloo is locked in to keeping the same core kids on A that truly belong on B or on different club. That will never change. That was shown last year when they added a B team but didn't move the appropriate players down to B. It's unfortunate bc that is what's keeping them from being the top team at this grade level.

For love of whatever is a very biased club towards kids from GC, Set and CSH. My son was cut a couple of years ago in favor of a GC kid at his position. 8 months later they were begging me to have my son come back and "tryout". I said he's not trying out, but you can offer me free tuition and a spot if you want. Oh, we can't do that they said... Long and the short, my son goes on and commits to a top 25 D1 program. Not sure where his replacement is in the process. Things happen for the best!
Before I make a deposit, can I get opinions on Hitmen, True Blue and Recon? Thank you
No Igloo A's were at Express tryout so your statement sounds false to me.
Recon and Nelson would be my choice
True Blue coaches are not all in
Hitmen move kids down to round out teams
Before I make a deposit, can I get opinions on Hitmen, True Blue and Recon? Thank you
Recon I do not know anything about, Hitmen at this age have a very good coach, they are a solid B team. My son played them once & we know some of the families, all seem to be happy. True Blue had 2 teams at this age last year. My son played their top team twice last year. Not very good. their second team had the Adelphi coach. but check to see if he is going to be at games and practices. During the spring Adelphi is always in the D11 Tournament and early summer he has to recruit. May not be around much.
Recon and Nelson would be my choice

So you tried to shake them down for free tuition?? And they said no??
Terrible. You showed them!
No Igloo A's were at Express tryout so your statement sounds false to me.
So you actually think you need to go to express tryouts to make the A team or be offered a spot ??!! That's great!

United was completely dismantled is correct. Only things staying the same are the name and some of the coaches. We know 2 kids who were offered spots on United and to be honest with you they would not make any of the other A teams on Long Island. The team lost a lot of top notch talent and will be lucky to be an A- team this season. Don't understand paying all that money to be on a 2nd team, but to each is own as they say. Good Luck and hope you get your moneys worth

I think I did! Went elsewhere and committed to a great school, with an awesome scholarship. My son wouldn't have gone back if they paid him go back. Shakedown? Not even close. Pay back for messing with a kids head, absolutely.

You couldn't make it anymore obvious you are part of Recon - I have 2 sons on the last team you mentioned. Both have played up but never down. I've been with them from the start about 5 years ago and between both my boys been to basically every tournament they've done and they've never once played out.
We did destroy your 5th grade team with out 6th grade team in a 5th/6th combined bracket. Your coach was upset but knows my son is actually a 5th grader playing on that team, yet he still liked to tell you differently.
Oh and that same 6th grade team beat your 7th grade...I try not to get into this stuff but it's pretty funny how wrong some people are....
My son is playing his age this year because 7th grade is stacked. Depending on how they gel - looking at a B++->A range.
Where did you get all this info from? Yes some kids were brought up to the elite team some kids from smash came "down" and weakest players were replaced. How does that translate to being a bad team? They should be able to compete in every game still. And as of right now the only coach is RC the assistant has not been chosen.
Nobody said United was a bad team. What was said is they will be nowhere near as strong as they were last year. Every position is not as strong as it was last season.

Keep drinking that Kool Aid pal. Spent several years there and moved on. Wankoff is a petty little man. A handful of good coaches there (i.e. Dunne) but Wank himself is a disaster on the sideline. If you enjoy spending your summer with a bunch of incredibly annoying and pretentious Manhasset, CSH and GC parents, you will fit right in at For the Love of Wank.

Blue fish 4. Express is in a different league
Depends on which express team you are talking about. Their 1st team is in a different league but the 2nd team is right in the mix with Hitmen based on last year. I don't think anyone really knows what their 2nd team is going to be this year. It depends on who is willing to pay top dollar for a 2nd team they can be very good but I think most people will not accept and pay $$$ for a 2nd team. They will find a cheaper alternative which has the A team attached to it even though it's really a B team

Don’t know anything about Bluefish to new..
Hitmen is also a good well run organization
with some very good talent my son has played with them for the past two years and I will tell you the only teams we should lose two this year are the big 3(Igloo, Express & 91)
Don’t waste your time with True Blue I've heard nothing but bad reviews about the directors..My son made the better team last year run by SB and I have friends that played on the second team..They give a great speech at tryouts and will tell you what you want to hear but way over promise and way under deliver
in my opion it sounds like they are all about the money ( which is fine but dont tell parents your only in it for the kids and that you dont make any money off this..haha!)
I admire the optimism but outlaws are not in the same conversation as express , 91 or Igloo. At least not yet. Good luck though. Parity is good for everyone.
Same crap different year.. probably the same guy spewing this against the outlaws. He doesn't give up.
Not in the same conversation? Yes Express beat the outlaws every time they played but NEVER was it a blowout. They beat United and lost to Smash by a couple of goals and didn't play Igloo A but beat the other Igloo team thoroughly like they should have. It's time to stop bashing a team because your son didn't make it. The bottom line is that the Outlaws play EVERYBODY and can compete with anybody. They are not a B team. Put them against any of these other programs like legacy, team li, empire, hitmen, etc. and they will destroy them so please don't tell us they are not in the same conversation.
any invites go out for Igloo yet?
Some calls went out today.

Depends on which express team you are talking about. Their 1st team is in a different league but the 2nd team is right in the mix with Hitmen based on last year. I don't think anyone really knows what their 2nd team is going to be this year. It depends on who is willing to pay top dollar for a 2nd team they can be very good but I think most people will not accept and pay $$$ for a 2nd team. They will find a cheaper alternative which has the A team attached to it even though it's really a B team
Which makes zero sense. In my opinion, you should place your son on the best team he can make, with committed coaches. That can be A, B, or C. And if convenience is a factor, you should maybe reconsider. Obviously cost is a big factor, but research the your son's options, call the director, call people on the team, wtc.
[quote=Anonymous]I admire the optimism but outlaws are not in the same conversation as express , 91 or Igloo. At least not yet. Good luck though. Parity is good for everyone.
Same crap different year.. probably the same guy spewing this against the outlaws. He doesn't give up.
Not in the same conversation? Yes Express beat the outlaws every time they played but NEVER was it a blowout. They beat United and lost to Smash by a couple of goals and didn't play Igloo A but beat the other Igloo team thoroughly like they should have. It's time to stop bashing a team because your son didn't make it. The bottom line is that the Outlaws play EVERYBODY and can compete with anybody. They are not a B team. Put them against any of these other programs like legacy, team li, empire, hitmen, etc. and they will destroy them so please don't tell us they are not in the same conversation.
So you are saying good B team?
You never give up do you? Can't we all just get along!
any invites go out for Igloo yet?
Why are you worried about a club team that lost to GC ?
Didn't team Li beat outlaws? Just sayin...to which the outlaws dad will respond...but then outlaws destroyed them in the finals
any invites go out for Igloo yet?

Stop pounding your GC chest
most of that team played for Igloo when they were little, and could play for most clubs right now
Bottom line, GC has a huge pool of kids that play lax...
they coach them up right and they play well together.
No need to put down Igloo or any other club.
Be proud; not pompous.

Highly doubt the previous comment came from anyone from GC. Igloo is a class organization that has strings ties back to GC.
And same crap he says about Express. Go away you troll.

Agreed. That post did not come from GC parent. GC is a class team. Great kids and parents; and yes, a large number of them were on the original Igloo team. GC is good; very good. It was a great win for them, and most of the Igloo parents were upset that Igloo lost (obviously), but enjoyed an exciting game of lax. With that said, igloo is better than GC. Igloo played a horrible game and it still came down to a braveheart. If they play 5 times, igloo wins 4. But on that day, GC won and they deserved it. Again, very good team and a class act.

Based on last year, yes.team totally different this year. Will be much stronger than Hitmen. Players from A last year moving to second team. Too many on A last year.
we just got an acceptance letter from true Blue which is weird because our boy didn't try out for true blue.
Obviously a clerical error.
Does Express really take 30 kids per team? That's a huge roster!

Blue fish 4. Express is in a different league
If you’re talking about competition wise it would be:
1)Hitmen
2)Express B
3)Recon
4)True Blue
Don’t know anything about Bluefish to new..
Hitmen is also a good well run organization
with some very good talent my son has played with them for the past two years and I will tell you the only teams we should lose two this year are the big 3(Igloo, Express & 91)
Don’t waste your time with True Blue I've heard nothing but bad reviews about the directors..My son made the better team last year run by SB and I have friends that played on the second team..They give a great speech at tryouts and will tell you what you want to hear but way over promise and way under deliver
in my opion it sounds like they are all about the money ( which is fine but dont tell parents your only in it for the kids and that you dont make any money off this..haha!)
You are basing that on last year. Express has a completely different team

Call and ask.
True Blue oh Geez deez nuts! Another Byer Be Ware. Promises coaching will be Adelphi Coaches and what do you know, they are NOT. They lost to Hitmen and at best are C+.

This is also a WSOL (World Series of Lacrosse) year so teams will consolidate talent on their A teams.

That's the goal.
Super team? Wasn't smash a super team too? How'd that work out. Express still team to beat.
Have all igloo 2022 A and B calls went out?
Why does everyone on here hate True Blue? My son played last year and I was very happy, great parents great kids. My son is not an elite player but found a home at TB.
Super team? Wasn't smash a super team too? How'd that work out. Express still team to beat.
Didn't Express and 32 merge this year to form a super team? my prediction is that the Smash/United super team will beat the Express/32 Super team.

the smash and united coaches deserve each other. both lost their minds last year when they were losing. the behavior trickled down to the teams. they better win. wouldn't want to see that meltdown.
This is also a WSOL (World Series of Lacrosse) year so teams will consolidate talent on their A teams.
WSYL changed age cutoff, so very few MD teams will attend - the only possible challenge. Whatever LI teams decide to go will take the crown (again). It's a long way to go to play your neighbors.
So you have inside information that no Md teams will attend ? Maybe they should send age appropriate kids like the rest of the teams. You sound bitter that your sons team will not be going. As if going to Fla for a camp in January for a 7th grader is better ?? Oh I forgot , he's gonna get recruited.

I think teams in MD don't want to go because they don't see the need to fly to Denver. Yes, most teams will have 2 or 3 kids that don't make the age cut off, but that's not a deal breaker. The main point is that it's just too far and not worth the time and expense.
In my opinion, it seems to be more of a PR opportunity above a best of the best championship for the clubs. However, it looks like a wonderful experience for the kids.

As if $30k over 5/6 years of club lax isn't already a lot ? What's another $2k ? If u build it , they will come. Sorry to pull a baseball quote.
That's exactly right. Clubs are trying to brand themselves so they can advertise that they are the best team. Should be an interesting year. Good luck to all the clubs and more importantly good luck to all the kids.

With travel off the island, hotels and everything that comes with it – easily.
However, Cali or Texas teams like WCStars, $10G is starting point, from what I was told by a parent on such a team. Talk about traveling to tourneys and spending the summer going up the east coast.
True Blue parent, glad your happy with your son playing on this team. It's not an A team like the organization claims and I think that is why people are ragging on it.
Have igloo 2022 B calls went out?
Have Igloo 2022 A calls gone out
I noticed that this year their is a big push in 2022 for the clubs to have two A teams. Is this because of that Jr. Championship out in Denver. I also noticed they never seam to move kids up to the better team, they rather take new kids, just wondering.

Jr Chanpionships is a moneymaker. Two teams is all about money. Nothing else.
91 is only team with two A teams. No one else even close.
So if I get a call now it would be because someone else rejected the spot? I just don't want my kid to be used as a filler so the org gets their money and my kid hardly plays

Yes. But no one rejects a spot at igloo. People love the $3000 gear.

Are actual rosters posted somewhere with names so you know who is actually on the team? A lot of teams are being put down right now but does anyone really know who is on each team?
Last year United was an A team. Heard that Smash/Select took the best kids from both teams so people are speculating that now United is a B team.
Last year United was an A team. Heard that Smash/Select took the best kids from both teams so people are speculating that now United is a B team.
I understand that but, there were reports that there was over 150 kids at tryouts. Hard to believe they couldn't put an A team together. Either way I just wish people would stop bashing kids and teams before they even see them play. This year 7th-8th grade is the biggest physical change in all our kids. All the teams could be different come summer season.

I agree. The 2nd teams of the 3 top teams will all be very good.
They will probably all be A quality teams. In any event... please call the coach and get the full rundown. You should all have the fall schedule and winter plans by now.

I don't know about 150, but well over 100 kids were the the tryouts. I was told that there Elite team took the best kids from United and Smash and few from other teams. There second team will be an A team and be very competitive and well coached. At this age it is about the practices and coaching. No college is looking at a 7th grade kid.
Many players fleeing 91+one at this age group because they want to be on an A team and consider only Elite the 90+one the A at this group.
What are the big fall tourneys this year?
How many True Blue Teams for 2022 and who is coaching? Nothing listed on website.
This year I think they have one team for seventh grade and Bentz is coaching that Team .

TB and A Team? Not blasting them at all because the kids play hard but they are NO WAY an A team. What happened to the second team? Sounds like a good time to change clubs!

I can tell you if Igloo didn't make at least 5 changes to the B team then we will have to play in B brackets and not the A bracket that most of these kids deserve.

90+1 rebuilding could not compete with Express last year.
Igloo & Outlaws all gained talent. Look forward to a great competive year for 2022. Best age group in many years. All games will be competitive. Good Luck All!

All games will be competitive. Every team adds... it comes down to those who added players that will be on the field in the last 5 minutes of the game. I notice more and more that parents are accepting of what is now a High School mentality on these AA teams. In other words, some kids don't play in games at all in big games.
I agree the talent level of 2022 is special. Best I've seen in a few years. A few standouts but for the most part, great teamwork and coaching across the board. This season should be a blast. Good luck to all the kids.

Just hate it when parents suck up
To keep kid on the team and in the end the team is not as good..I have been there done that
From what I have seen... I am of the opinion that most clubs don't invest in 2nd teams. And people have kids that are tweeners. That means they can't really crack the lineup on the top team because the talent is very high and the 2nd team is an after thought. I have noticed that now the top clubs at this age are making an effort to have very competitive, well run teams.

You think second thought , wait until recruiting starts. You do not want to be on any second team.

That's the problem. People have that think you must me on the A team in 7th grade to be recruited. With all the showcase and prospect days out there all you need is a club reference. That's not to say an A team isn't helpful - it's just not critical. Trust me, if your son doesn't make the top team now, it's okay. Just get good coaching/training and if your son can play come HS.... all will be well. Biggest mistake, getting on to a team and not playing.
Some parents can't seam to get it through their thick heads. The only thing colleges are interested in is the finished product! Do you really think in your minds that they care how many championships little johnany when he was 12 years, old just try pulling that crap with college recruiters and see what happens. Their already having a problem with players in college with performance anxiety. That's what you want to do, put even more pressure on your child! Like they don't have enough to worry about getting g their school work done!

No college wants a "reference" from your club coach that you pay. If in top high school , maybe your coach can help with process. If not , you need to be in front of college coaches . Like it or not , B teams won't be able to provide the exposure. Not to play at high level college. Recruiting starts summer of 8th grade. It doesn't make any sense, but that's the state of lacrosse recruiting today.

That's not to say an A team isn't helpful - it's just not critical. Trust me, if your son doesn't make the top team now, it's okay. Just get good coaching/training and if your son can play come HS.... all will be well. Biggest mistake, getting on to a team and not
No college wants a "reference" from your club coach that you pay. If in top high school , maybe your coach can help with process. If not , you need to be in front of college coaches . Like it or not , B teams won't be able to provide the exposure. Not to play at high level college. Recruiting starts summer of 8th grade. It doesn't make any sense, but that's the state of lacrosse recruiting today.
I agree, but you need the club reference to get into showcases. Correct, B teams won't play in Team Showcases, but all players can play in individual showcases and that where you need the club reference. Plenty of A and non A team players received commitments that way, not via the team showcase. B teams if structured correctly is okay to be on. That can be a big 'If' but it's my opinion and I could be wrong.
[quote=Anonymous]From what I have seen... I am of the opinion that most clubs don't invest in 2nd teams. And people have kids that are tweeners. That means they can't really crack the lineup on the top team because the talent is very high and the 2nd team is an after thought. I have noticed that now the top clubs at this age are making an effort to have very competitive, well run teams.

It more about being the time their parents want them to commit . 9 out of 10 kids have no idea what they want yet..parents want to brag and use it as leverage with other schools to say their kid is the real deal. Answer me this. How does a kid in 9th grade commit then switch schools within a few months. That should say enough of how stupid it is to commit so early

It's absolutely out of control. But it is what is happening. If you are a blue chip kid and want to play at a top 10 school, you are recruited by end of 9th grade.

Their are two kinds of kids that play lacrosse in college, the first one is the kid that is average to very good and gets a little help or no rids. And the other one is the kids that plays off the hook and can possibly play D1 and get a little help or a fill ride. You can drag him to every little event an send him to all the show cases, trust me when I tell you it doesn't if he is on a A or B team or what club he plays for, if he's really good they will find hm.
not sure about Outlaws, I heard their FOGO was MIA at tryouts. Anyone know where he went?

How does not matter if he is on an A or B team when the A team is the only team going to the best recruiting tournaments? Isn't that where the colleges are?

Where did you hear this? The KID was at tryouts and is not going anywhere.
Was at 2nd tryout. Still on outlaws.
Back to Outlaws-Thanks for your concerns

Does it matter if the kid is on Outlaws A or B team when both teams play completely different showcases and tourneys??
Is that what are telling you?,if your son is not on three select or A team he has no chance at playing D1? Sombody is feeding you a load of crap.especially at 12 years old.
don't count your chickens....kids come and go!

WHO CARES!! He didnt even have to tryout what does that tell you about the team! Like everyone says they don't take new players that is why they are a 2nd rate team and can't beat top teams.

Wow! Seems like you care enough to get your facts wrong about the process. Sounds like someone's kid didn't make a team and now are out for revenge. Worry about your kid and stop commenting on other kids and organizations that your kid can't be a part of.
well you sound like an arse !
No sht Sherlock, don't even bother or waste your time talking about playing college ball. None of this matters until the product is finished, that's 12th grade.

I will say with conviction that you are out of bounds! My kid did try out and MAKE the select team as a Middie. We chose to go back to ninety two. But I was talking to the parents of the team and they told me 85% of the team will be the same!

API/Diamondbacks and Hawks are the 2 top from Maryland
Hawks are tops in Maryalnd. API has dropped off. Watch out for FCa to make a big move this year.
So without causing too much controversy who will really be the top team this year? I heard a lot of negative stuff here recently. I just moved here and my kid can play at a high level I'm looking for a place to put him, any suggestions?

One of the top 3 from last year. And I suggest you visit the websites of the top 5 teams and maybe you'll get an invite to a practice.

Also, to some extent, depends on where you live. Traveling 25-30 miles to practice can get tiring. Try to find a solid club with a good 2022 team as close as possible to where you are.
Where do you live and what position does your son play if you don't mind answering.

How about where to you move from and where did you play last year ?
Exactly. If your kid is as good as you say he must have played at a high level. Unless you moved from Alaska , in which it's very possible 91 has a team there now too , you should have an idea who is who

We moved from Ohio. He plays Defense and was considered one of the best in his age group.

I'm not the Ohio guy but all you have to do is google Long Island lacrosse forum to find this site. Why do so many have a problem the question. No wonder why Long Island has a bad reputation. We look like a bunch of A** holes the guy might be a fake or he could be a new to LI great way to welcome him
I think we're all professional critics on this site and can sniff out a fake. If a kid was 4th grade maybe , 7th grade and Ohio isn't in the dark with lacrosse.
why do you people act like classless jerkoffs..Answer the guys question or just refrain from typing a douchebagg comment. 2022 smash,unites,xpress,igloo,outlaws and the town teams that are good Manhasset,GC,Port,CSH,
I'd throw Northport in there as well.
Now that some of the travel teams have started practicing, how are they looking? What Fall tournaments are teams playing in?
I heard that Igloo added some players that are going to help them this year (Mid, Att, FO). Outlaws also upgraded. I think that Express stayed about the same which is good for them. The Super team had their first practice this week and I heard they looked very good. Team Zummo added some players and should be more competitive. United "A" also had some practices and I was told they will be competitive as well?
Thoughts?

Come on. He's new to the neighborhood. Don't take advantage.

I wouldn't
I would, they beat every town team on Long Island at least once in the last 2 years.
Let me guess Northport hater, GC dad?? If not them, who WOULD you put amongst the top 5? Never said they were the best, but right in the mix--Farmingdale too.

Stop. You are embarrassing yourself. And dragging your town down with you.
I am not from Northport. They run a good program, its great village and town and they have one of the better teams at the age on LI--you do have to trek out to Suffolk though--all the same could be said for Smithtown and Three Village (Ward Melville school district) as well.

The "head coach/owner" of the former Smash, has become the epitome of the lacrosse [lacrosse]. While he's been an embarrassment on the sidelines with his screaming lunatic approach for years, what he did to his assistant coaches for the past 5 years at tryouts this year is astounding. His new nickname is now "Fat Channy". Brian and Jim, I sure hope all that the money you guys are making is worth being partners with him.
Do tell, do tell. What happened. Those assistants were class acts.

Agree. If you're not spending over 2K and driving up and down 95 every June and July weekend your 7th grader should quit playing

In MD the rec leagues have no top level talent. It's nice to see in NY there is still an option to play rec at a high level.

Last year, my current 2021 son played PAL, MS and travel - PAL was just another another opportunity for touches and workouts, so fail to see why that would be a waste of time, especially considering the low cost and local aspects. He'll do the same thing this year IF our local organization has enough boys for an 8th grade PAL team.

The reason why people care about our Rec Program is that it is an indication of how the HS program will be when these kids are of age. Big difference between NY and MD. In NY it is all about the Public schools and in MD it's about the private schools.
That being said here are the top 2022 Town Teams in Alphabetical order. All these teams are very good and could compete with the top clubs if they had all their players, i.e GC beating Igloo at NXT;
1. CSH - Power house small school
2. GC - Perennial Power house
3. Manhasset - Perennial Power house
4. NPT - Hit or Miss Teams
5. Port - solid teams but no County Championships
6. Smithtown - divides talent between two HSs.

Unfortunately Safety and Overcrowding issues at many of the Balt. County and City schools force parents to the private schools (or they move to the Hereford zone or Howard county.)
The vast majority of kids at these private schools get some financial assistance, so very few of the kids are total silver spooners.
Many Public high Schools in Maryland can play with the Top Private or Public teams any where in the country. Boys are being recruited weekly from these schools to play D_1 lacrosse.
So any options on the Hitmen? I heard they are gonna be a VERY good team this year! I think they will run with Outlaws and those caliber teams.

That's what u heard Dad? Come on with that.
Hitmen will be able to compete with the recons and true blue's. That's it.

Hitmen will do well in the B bracket at Blatant until they run into the Bandits, "playing up", in the finals. Just like last year.
Hitmen good team last year. Not so sure about this year. They are definitely way better than True Blue which is C team. Do not think Hitmen will be able to get past Igloo, Bandits, Outlaws and Express. BBBDXp

"good team last year Not so sure about this year" haha! why because your son who played with us last year is now playing for someone else..Hitmen will do well we lost one somewhat decent attackman and picked up a better one we also picked up a really good goalie who will be a great addition.. not looking to compete with the top 3 A teams(Igloo, Express or 9+1) we'r just looking to do the best we can against the best capable teams we can play with..
Sorry daddy, we were not on Hitmen last year. However, we played against you twice. Go back to Hershey to jog your memory. Careful what you write about previous players and new players. You just revealed yourself.
What teams traveling to Maryland this weekend for scrimmage games?
Shame on you for writing this about your old players who left! SHAME SHAME SHAME...by the way...invest in some training for your own child or children.

Outlaws have a good path to win the Columbus Day tourney in East Islip. They just have the beat the World Series Champion Organization (Leg____y) Andre Aggassis (f/k/a the Thunderbuddies), For the Love of Manhasset and a few B teams. They can relish their first NY title Monday night.

Ha, dark horse pick. My bet it they never beat any of the top 4-5 teams and that they hold their own in B brackets. There isn't one A team in this tournament at this age.
Crazy how much hate there is for this team. Truth is only the new 91, express and igloo are better right now. Not understanding how they won't beat 4-5 top teams when they are in that mix. Don't give me united, shell of the team it was. Lost 1/2 of team. My guess is by the end of summer they will surpass one of those teams ahead of them. And no my son is not on that team but played them a lot and know what they added and what everyone else added. And it's only fall. Wins and losses mean nothing. Except to the crazy parents
Duke's looked weak today
Attack were small and not athletic at all
Express bigger and more talented

Big deal, you beat the, now. Wait until 8th grade . You get rolled, all th,e hold backs. Mc knows it's coming.
Express top dawg at 2022 right now. Sorry Duke's. Not even a game today And yes attack was soft. Shut them down 7-2 at half?
U can't beat Express 2022 with your 9-1, BLC, API, crabs or any other club right now.
World Series is an easy W if we go.
NLF more important ?

Damn dude ! Take it easy on the guys wife. It was a fall lacrosse game against a team that doesn't play together and has new roster every year. FALL BALL.
And talking [lacrosse] about every Maryland team after 1 Fall scrimmage day. . Way to go ..
You guys take the bait every time. Not even an express parent! Some troll who loves stirring the pot.
Don't Duke's have a bunch of LI kids too?
Yes the attack on the Dukes was less than stellar. Loved the dad screaming on the sidelines.
So let me get this straight ... You drove 12+ hours round trip spent $200 on a hotel room plus gas tolls etc , beat up on a pickup team and your happy about that ?? Man , you need a hobby other then your kids lax team. Actually his team for now . When it really counts in next few years we will see how many of the same faces are still there. seems like you guys have ally of traveling down south for not yet recruiting events for the rest of the fall. Have fun !!
Duke's parent screaming? why?
It's a pick up team. Probably correct in the
Fact that
They mad at wasting money on travel lax that don't matter for squat
You guys take the bait every time. Not even an express parent! Some troll who loves stirring the pot.
Sure!
Some of the people on here are such idiots. If certain kids want to play on multiple teams it's a personal choice Some people have the time and or the money and or their kid can handle it or not. Everybody needs to mind their own business deal with their own kids and stop judging everybody else's lives . People posting crap on here obviously jealous their kid wasn't invited or asked to plan a team or didn't make a team .

Don't forget time to scream up and down the sidelines too. The examples people are setting for these kids is just terrible.

Ha ha, they are in that mix. They can't play within 10 goals of any of the top teams and they are at best a very good B team.
Stop with the negativity and let the boys play. University of Maryland Lacrosse was a great host and gave the kids a unique experience to play on campus and in the stadium. The people with nothing nice to say should be ashamed. Golden Rule
Funny thing is everybody knows exactly which dad people are referring to. I had forgotten to look yesterday but he usually dresses accordingly to whichever team his son is playing for at the time. Hence igloo is blue on blue sneakers and blue blue blue outfit. So I'm a little curious if he wore his Dukes colors yesterday. I'm sorry I meant his sons Dukes colors
LOL
You are delusional. What son does your son play on. Put it here so we can set up a game. Bet you won't do it. Show some guts.
Lol. Crazy daddy. Sad actually

So sad Dad , you are your sons promoter ? He is probobly saying to himself Dad , STFU.
Again I say, crazy [lacrosse] dad's. I wished I had the money to get my son on multiple teams and sleep away camps. Not jealous, just focusing on getting good grades and playing competitive lacrosse. Had a conversation with D1 coach who said some of the best recruits are the boys who are not living and breathing lacrosse, but play multiple sports and with good grades. Yes, grades count regardless of the past comments on here. Scale back the lacrosse and get a tutor if you need it.

You had your youth it has come and gone not it's time to get over what u didn't accomplish as a youth and let your child have his time. Get over yourself already if you don't know by now it's not what u strive for it's what you should help your child strive for.
LOL on the Igloo and Dukes clothing comments. We all know who that is. Cracking up.
Dukes depth chart is a jokes kids not on it played and kids on it did not get invited. What a joke nothing more than a daddy ball team.
So your sons team beat express, igloo and 91
Impressive. Lol.

Well I guess my kid can't suck that bad if he actually tried out and made the travel team of his choice and YES he starts also.... did I mention our team won I believe it was every tournament last year so ummmmm YEAH HE SUX ALRIGHT!!!

Actually yes my sons team did beat igloo and 91 last year. So I will let you put 2+2 together
And before your response is "did my son even see the field?"
That answer is also a yes
He actually tried out and made the A team 3 years in a row now and gets atleast 20 mins playtime each game. I think I may have answered all of your future insults you may feel the need to respond with .
So does this guy dress in team colors from head to toe or does he dress like his kid or both? That's really funny, how come nobody gave him a nickname like sweet perm guy? I don't actually know who sweet perm guy is but that's an awesome name and somebody should name this other guy
One word on the sweet perm guy, "classic".

The post's on here bring out the sarcasm in everyone. No one ever has anything pleasant to say about clubs kids adults refs coaches or even siblings so it's very easy to be arrogant and sarcastic in posting. I highly doubt most people are as crazy as we sound on here. But it is comical and reality tv like on here
I truly can't stop laughing on here. Not at the A level with those dad's, we at the B level have the troll dad on True Blue that stalks the rest of the teams bragging about his son. Hmm, I wonder if sweet perm guy and penguin are related to him? Ha ha.
Who won the 'Ship at the Marina today - Outlaws Select or Leggy See Rebels?

We need to get penguin one of the cool lanyards the sweet perm guy has.
Amazing - what Admin chooses to publish and what is chosen to be censored.
Just to clarify as the originator. Sweet perm guy is a Madlax parent. Anyone that has played Madlax 2022 knows who I am talking about unless he had already been kicked off the field by the refs before you got there and was hiding under the bleachers at Blandair.
The lanyard parents are API. Two different animals.
They sold that express team as a 2nd A team. Wow.
how cool what it be if the penguin wears a sweet perm wig to holloween havoc and iPad dad has bright orange vest on with a penguin mask ??
They sold that express team as a 2nd A team. Wow.
I know parents on that team whi weee told it would be A/B team, not even close! Over 24 kids there today and maybe 6-8 MAX can catch or throw! No FOGO, no LSM, can't clear ty ball or win a faceoff! These kids have a long year ahead of them!

What was the result of the championship game?
Outlaws won by 3 or 4 goals.
Outlaws won by 3 or 4 goals.
Everyone knew what the outcome was gonna be! Legacy is almost the same B team they were last year. Outlaws went from B to B+ so they were the better team today!!!
O'Reilly coaching my son's 2022 team regardless of what you idiots think is far better than some of the coaching staff out there. Considering we are catholic school bound. At least MC and O'Reilly know who my kid is. They training/coaching alone is excellent. Don't care A, B, C or D, it's about the coaching for us.
Legacy a whole new team. 75% new players. Nothing close to where they were last year. Much improved with a few united TLI and dukes kids. They will be competitive
Not a knock on your kid at all, Im sure her's a great kid..but I hope he's Catholic school bound for educational and religon purposes because the chancees of your B team son seeing field time at a St Anthonys or Chaminade is probaly very slim at best..

right because kids don't improve. can you at least get them through puberty. give it a rest already. you made your point. don't play for MC. we get it. move on. broken record doesn't begin to describe you.
Legacy a whole new team. 75% new players. Nothing close to where they were last year. Much improved with a few united TLI and dukes kids. They will be competitive
VERY untrue ! My son is on the team out of 20 kids there are 14 that were on the team last year. Your math is incorrect!
is this about outlaws or 91
Are you a coach in the catholic schools? Didn't think so. Kids make improvements and the gap closes with others. A or B, I don't care and as far as college goes, playing lacrosse would be a bonus. I have a 529 plan with my son on high honor roll and he is a good lax player. Not my observations, but from other coaches. Not worried here and certainly not living in lalala land.
They sold that express team as a 2nd A team. Wow.
Channy doesn't sell anything but the truth. Don't kid urself everybody knows that and they still choose to have kids play for the team
if you are in catholic school or heading to catholic school, it's a no brainer. whose everybody? mind your business. you sound bitter.
Mind my business? It was a PUBLIC post, you sound idiotic with that response. And by everybody that's exactly what it means, anybody and everybody in this lax universe that knows channy. I'm not bitter at all it just tiresome hearing people complaining about him selling bs about a team being a second A team or B+ team etc. Not many people like him or how he takes anybody's money but yet most ppl still line his pockets, so unless your kids on the "2nd" A team what are you whining about then.

Clueless statement.
So we have:
-sweet perm guy
-i-pad guy
-Penguin
Has to be some others, no? I got $100 for a better one than sweet perm guy. Instead of beating up on the kids and teams let's make fun of the dads and moms. Just my 2 cents
Best post . So true leave the kids alone. It's the parents who deserve the gossip

Against who? B teams yes they will. Outlaws are not as good as the big 3 and still beat up on Legacy pretty good.
They are a solid team. 5th beat out there on LI. Is that so bad? By your theory everybody stinks except express. Nobody on LI will beat them this year. But they all will be competitive games. Isn't that what you want? Express, 91, igloo, outlaws, legacy and fl$ will all be good. LI should be proud.

Gonna be tough getting all the kids in enough. Yea great idea with your super team of 28 . Most kids will get in 8 min per half of an average game in tournament play.

Its funny. 2021 outlaws were mocked and called leftovers for nit winning. 2022 is mocked and called tools for winn the same tournament. I guess there is no right answer for the trolls

I'm sure they will be very competitive. it will be hard to watch, however, all the egos in that lot gathered together in a close setting. bring your earplugs.

Your assumption would be correct. Lots of Igloo helmets. Please stop with the "town team beat a travel team" nonsense. Just because they were in town jerseys doesn't make them a town team. So much for integrity
the final score was 12-5, and that team was far from being a town team, but it really doesn't matter, it was a great day to be at a tournament. The 91 team is mostly new kids, its going to take time for them to gel.

Yes lots of igloo helmets as a lot of the Syosset kids play for Igloo and a few play for express and a few play for many other clubs not igloo or express that play on that team. not sure why that matters as they live in SYOSSET. And yes their were 2 kids that were not from Syosset playing on the team as there were many kids away for the weekend and only had 14 kids total for the tournament. For the most part it was 90% the Syosset team. it was a great day of lacrosse and the kids played hard. Also not a great tournament competition wise.

first off Syosset has some decnt talent with a a coupl of stand outs but lets not down play that there were 3 or 4 non Syosset kids that played key roles and created and or scored most of the goals, with out those kids the outcome would of been VERY diffrent..those key kids never came off the field and made a huge! diffrence..there were also 8th graders palying down..congrats on the win but come on...

Are you the coach of that team? Where do you get your info from the fairy godmother? No 8 grader on that team. You are all missing the point. This isn't about how good Syosset is it about all the parents that paid 5000.00 to be on an A team. But are finding out fast that this is a C team.
Smash played all weak teams. But they won a t-shirt!
Very weak teams. All C teams. One close game. Not impressive at all.

You must be crazy! The Briarcliff team was a bog good team. My kid does not play for either team. That new elite team is very very good I saw NO weaknesses at all.

Maryland teams will beat the super team

Haha!that’s a slap to the face of the parents who brought their kids down to help you win your t-shirt..what about the 5 or 6 A team kids you had playing with you from in and out of town those parents paid "5000.00" to be on those "A" teams and without those kids you wouldn’t of made it to the finals let along the semifinals..So your point is invalid and ridiculous
As far as the 8th grader no I didn’t get my info from the fairly god mother I got it directly from another Syosset father who knows the kid personally..LOL!
What was penguin dad and iPad dad wearing at the Halloween Havoc while cheering on the Syosset team?
That Briarcliff team is not strong at all. It is a 7th and 8th grade team. At best it is a B 2021 team by Long Island standards. Just because they beat up on a town team and a D team it does not make them strong. No need to call anyone crazy either. A weak 2021 team played Your team close. Accept it and move on.

Briarcliff is a pretty good town team. CSH played them last year and won by a few but they were apparently missing a few players. Are they up to elite travel level, no--but they would compete just fine with the top LI town teams you hater...
Blatant will be a good test for these teams with Express, Super Team, Igloo and Outlaws all playing. My Guess it will be Express vs Super Team in Finals with the Super Team winning the ship.

Misleading. No Black Ice players are going to be on the Igloo 2022 Arctic Blast team. Black Ice/Avalanche players who have birthdays after 9/1/2003 (and therefore are eligible for the World Series) could be on the Igloo World Series team -- just like Zummo did last year with his 2020/2021 team that won.
If you think that other teams that want to go to Denver aren't going to do the same thing, just look at what happened last year when Black Ice lost to older kids.
You still have to be one of the four teams that qualifies out of the North Region to make it to Denver -- now that lots of teams in the Northeast are playing year round, that might not be as simple as it seems.

That's good. So a pretty good town team with mixed ages game a good game to the Elite ? Not bad.
Super team over Express, I DO NOT THINK SO! Good luck guys. Black Ice players on 2022, why???? To win at any cost? All that says to me and others is that Igloo 2022 feels they need the Ice kids to win because they can't do it without them.

Didnt Igloo 2022 lose to a town team at NXT...
Didn't super smash play in the 8th grade bracket?
Yes you must have missed previous banter. They played a few below average teams and played Briarcliff in the final game. They beat them but was a pretty good game. I think they are the team to beat this year but we will find out Saturday at the Blatant!

All kids that are born after 9/1/03 from Arctic Blast / Aspen extreme / Black Ice and Avalanche make up a separate WSYL team-----Totally separate team
You are correct ALL TEAMS that plan on attending the qualifier will surely attend with the best players that they can possibly bring in accordance with the rules set by the tournament. Why wouldn't they? Instead of wondering who is bringing 2021's to the tournament stop to think in some cases that 2021 kid could be younger than the 2022 player.
This is age based. Where's the issue? I know the Super Team will be taking kids from Blaze and Ambush too. No outrage here.

Don't know who you are but you are probably the biggest loser that has ever posted anything on here. Ever.
Blatant will be a good test for these teams with Express, Super Team, Igloo and Outlaws all playing. My Guess it will be Express vs Super Team in Finals with the Super Team winning the ship.
Any truth to the rumor that some Black Ice Players are now playing for Igloo 2022 because they qualify for the WSYL?
Igloo used black ice players to win tournament in Tampa also.
That is BS-stop trying to cause trouble
Onto the fun. All the top teams are in action at The Blatant. Great schedule, great tourney across all the divisions.
Responding to my own thread. I also like that if you lose, you can at least get a chance if youre 2-1 to get into the bracket as the 2nd team. That Express v Smunited game will be fun to watch. The loser probably gets Igloo and the winner gets the Outlaws or Rebels. Good stuff. This is basically the WSYL preview.
... and there are a few non LI teams that will be competitive at WSYL qualifier that will like be much stronger than outlaws and L Rebels.
Dont know about WSYL preview being that most teams will be different
Blatant will be a good test for these teams with Express, Super Team, Igloo and Outlaws all playing. My Guess it will be Express vs Super Team in Finals with the Super Team winning the ship.
Super Team and Express in one pool. Winner of that pool will play winner of Outlaws/Igloo A pool in the title game.
That's not the way it will go, Winner of Pool 1 will play 2nd in Pool 2 and vice versa. So my guess it will be the super team vs Express in the Ship.
Should be a great day of Lacrosse regardless who wins and it's nice to see all the LI teams in the same Tournament. They should be playing each other all the time - only way to get better.
Express,United,Igloo all playing in 2022 National Championship in Baltimore
Why would united be playing? They are a B team. Effellgee, lehgc and outlaws way better than united.
what national championship in baltimore? i thought the WS was in Denver again?
What happened to all the hitmen talk of stepping up and playing the A teams? Got to give igloo 2nd team for constantly playing the top teams. They're in A at blatant while hitmen again in a B bracket.
Stop it isn't the Hitman parents saying those comments it's someone stirring the pot like most posts on here. My son plays for them and none of the coaches, parents or players claim to be at the level of those teams. Great bunch of kids who love the game and getting a good experience and playing hard. That's it.
What happened to the Outlaws 2002 bracket at Blatant?? They moved all the other good teams to the other bracket!! Nice work!! After the schedule was written and posted. Embarrassing.
Way to change the schedule to get your own team in the playoffs!!
Outlaws will beat Igloo A this weekend.

They were barely competitive at the Havoc so there is NO WAY they can play in the A division.
Outlaws will beat Igloo A this weekend.
They wont have to play any real teams until playoffs. Will be well rested. fl$ played Outlaws to a one goal game last week and now fl$ moved out of their pool play!!!

You know who makes the schedule!! They do it to the other gold team too. Typical Outlaws move!!
Outlaws will beat Igloo A this weekend.
Not a chance ! I will say they lose by a minimum of 4 goals!
Schedule was not made to benefit any individual club. We talked to directors and tried to get the top 4 teams split up among each division and the bottom 4 split up among each division to create balanced divisions.
We accidentally published schedules with 2 teams flip flopped, were called by a director when we posted, and immediately just flopped those 2 teams, it wasn't the Outlaws.
Just to make sure everyone knows this is a Blatant Tournament, not affiliated with the LI Outlaws. Every director/organization gets treated the same and gets to call in schedule requests multiple times before the final schedule is released. We do our research and try to create the best match-ups for all involved in all divisions.
Outlaws win by 2

You people really are crazy. There is no way a B+ team like Outlaws will be a true A team like Igloo. Lets be realistic please. Outlaws are basically the same team as last year and Igloo who was very good last year got better.

So club directors call up and complain and you change the schedule ?? Top three teams in second pool. Very clear what happened ! Only one team benefited from the changes.

SuperTeam and Channy definitely top teams. Are you saying that For the Love of Manhasset or Igloo B is also top three? No, Igloo A (Arctic Blast) and Outlaws Select are the other top teams in that bracket.

The way the schedule is written , those will be top 4 teams Sunday. Express and 91 will be in finals. Would have with other schedule too. Outlaws would not have been.

Outlaws beat both teams that flip flopped last Mon-
Hate to burst your bubble but outlaws beat Effellgee by 4 goals last weekend if that's the move you are referring to. Where you get your information from is lacking
This has got to be the Penguin. Always complaining or bragging.
added black ice players so of course better!
Honestly , you people need a hobby. Other then youth lacrosse !! If they move Express or Super Team to other bracket you have Igloo. So what's the difference ? IMHO those three are all very close. Within a goal or two. Did u want outlaws to be with them instead efelgee ? Please. Let the kids play. [lacrosse] , I don't even wanna go and listen to grown men and women obsess over their kids lacrosse team. I bet your kids don't either
My kid plays for a B team with a great coach and doesn't have to deal with all the pressure of crazy parents and crazy coached screaming at him while he is having FUN! That is the way its supposed to be people!

If no difference why change the schedule ??
Where u been ? Schedules change all the time. What , Express and Super Team can't be in the same bracket ??

They can be in same bracket and can and will still play each other in final. Schedules change all the time. Not usually to benefit the organization running the tournament.
Benefit who ? If I'm MC or Deez Nuts coach I'd rather play Igloo B then Outlaws in pool play. Have a nice day pal.
No at age team can hang with Express! Good luck all you will need it.

There definitely may be a few surprises in store at the B bracket. Can't wait to see the boys hit the fields. Not looking forward to hearing the screaming parent on the sidelines of Hitmen tho. Hopefully, they have the flu.

That's not true. Many will go on to be good DIII or college club players and their dads will die a thousand deaths because little Johnny didn't pan out.
y a da of a D3 player dies a thousand deaths because the kid didn't pan out? playing college lacrosse is not exactly an abject failure. you really need to take a knee .
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No at age team can hang with Express! Good luck all you will need it.
Did you really say that? They were the best team last year but to say that nobody can hang with them when they won by 1 or 2 goals most times is just crazy.
You people should go watch a top 20 d3 team play a game. You might be surprised at how good these teams are. Not only that, the players on these teams are putting in 3.5 hours a day in practice and the weight room. I have seen many d3 teams beat d1 many times in fall or early spring formats.

You won't be talking that trash in a few weeks when you come to MD,. At age team? All teams play by the same rules. Express is no different. Express at at least 2 kids last year that could play up . Just like every other team in the country that is playing by the same rules laid out.

And the D3 refs let the kids knock the snot out of each other. The safety first reffing at D1 has yet to trickle down.

Express will come to your house to play, most MD teams won't go to the island for the challenge.
Partly because the D1 kids are a lot of spoiled prima donnas , being handed more oppurtinities due to money that don't like to be hit. It was a physical contact sport once. I'm sure the same ncaa refs will call a head penalty in D3 also.
They are all top teams. The Express can win this weekend or not even make it to the final, that a how much parity exists between the top 3 on the island and the MD teams, Hawks, Diamondbacks, and probably 9.. MD. That was 6 of the elite 8 last summer. No super team, they are all super!

Did not Express earn that they are at a higher level than the rest who are at parity with each other until proven else.
This has to be a MD daddy. They get so frustrated that the little FOGO kicks all of their holdback/reclassified kid's [lacrosse] every time.. that's when the kids get frustrated and dirty and start taking cheap shots. Cheaters never prosper.
I would really love to know who the loser is that sits on his computer and gives nicknames to all the dads. Show your face. I bet you are the biggest loser of all. We should all give you a nickname. Keep stirring the pot and hiding behind your computer you geek.

MD teams play in 2 of the best spring leagues in the country, so they are challenged twice every weekend and home in time to enjoy life outside of 7th grade lacrosse.
Stop making excuses. You people never come to LI.
Same way that little fogo gets manhandled by a certain LI team's fogo and we all have to listen to his family cry and yell at refs. Goes both ways fella.
can't wait to see the comments (i mean excuses) after todays tournament ....weather was bad, field conditions terrible, refs made horrible calls , shortened games , teams were missing players....blah blah blah

Cheaters? Really so there is not a single holdback or pre whatever on the Express team? Or any Long Island teams? Classic sore loser comments from a dad that brings another families kid (Fogo)into his rant on an anonymous site . That player happens to probably be the best at his position in the entire country and everyone loves to watch play.Without him that team would be nothing. Be grateful .. Leave him off this site and out your argument to call an entire state of teams cheaters . Teams that follow ALL GUIDLINES and rules laid out for them for regular season and any tournament all year. Regular season that is more difficult than anything Express does all year. Express does travel well because they don't get challenge ALL YEAR LONG.
Stop making excuses. You people never come to LI.
You people! love it.. Maybe you have been under a rock the past 5 years. Md teams come up to LI a few times a year every year.
Why would they come any more than that? Most teams at this age group play in the 2 hardest leagues in the nation. That is not even up for debate. Which is exactly why LI clubs and coaches come down to MD to challenge their teams.

I agree. It's a great way for LI teams to play up against kids 1-2 years older in the same grade bracket. MD and PA team play down, a always have, always will. When teams need to prove age MD and PA almost always lose to their LI age appropriate peers.

Gotta admit though there are some lunatics out there that earn a name. On your own team and opposing teams.
In my opinion, it's so sad that the directors of smuntied took two legit A teams and broke them up for a zero sum gain. Such a rare thing they had.
Very true. I'm sure you'll hear the excuses of today's performance. Kids had football , only fall ball , goalie kept them in the game , sun was in their eyes , yada yada yada.

Come on' Coming on here spewing that crap says a lot about how completely wrong you are. and reaching for some comfort.
'almost always ' what does that even mean. either they are or they are not. Do you mean they might have 1 more holdback than your team. oh wait or do you mean your club or team has absolutely no holdbacks or pre grade?

Ha ha, Igloo beat the hold Backs!
blatant was ok today Igloo looked solid ,Express played well, new 91 looked bigger on def but noticeably slower. Overall alot of parity at 2022 which should make for great year.
Ha ha, Igloo beat the hold Backs!
Ah and here it goes THE HOLDBACKS COMMENT!!!! I guess your a previous looser to express. Yes igloo won. To a holdback kids team? Nah to the age appropriate team. Igloo had a great turnover they have improved immensely and they won.
Congratulations igloo

Almost same igloo team. Lost a couple, picked up a few. Everything finally clicking.
"Express is #1 until proven otherwise."
They were dominated today so I guess they were proven otherwise
Igloo faceoff kid can really work. Improved a lot. Making a name for himself out there.
Igloo has a solid faceoff guy. Really making a name for himself out there.
Stop it daddy of Igloo face off guy.
Probably the little fogo's contingent from jetsey. They had 3 cameras rolling today. Cried everytime kid lost a faceoff. Arguing with other fans. Hate to see how express parents act when they start losing. Because igloo was waaaaay better today. Express parents were besides themselves. But none more than the camera crew. Classless.
Igloo has a solid faceoff guy. Really making a name for himself out there.
Thanks Mom!

Didn't know the caboose lead the express train...
Igloo played well today. Even more impressive was Igloo's 2nd Team. Enjoy it while it lasts. Look up the word humility in the dictionary and study it.
Super Team?? They were not good at all. I do not like 91. Never have. With that said, have to respect how good they have always been. But today, they were not good at all. They were dominated by Express and Igloo, and igloo B team gave them a game. I'm assuming it's just that combined two great teams and they are feeling things out. Nothing jelling yet. I'm sure they will be back to form soon enough, but today, it was just ugly.
Does igloo have 1 or 2 FOGO's?
Igloo parents declared the team the SPORTS AUTHORITY CHAMPIONS OF THE UNIVERSE.

I agree. It's a great way for LI teams to play up against kids 1-2 years older in the same grade bracket. MD and PA team play down, a always have, always will. When teams need to prove age MD and PA almost always lose to their LI age appropriate peers.
What team are those ? what clubs ? you guys can't be that stupid to think that your club or coach plays against teams that are cheating the RULES.Knowing a team is 2 yeas older..2 years? Come on' Coming on here spewing that crap says a lot about how completely wrong you are. and reaching for some comfort.
'almost always ' what does that even mean. either they are or they are not. Do you mean they might have 1 more holdback than your team. oh wait or do you mean your club or team has absolutely no holdbacks or pre grade?
Looks like I hit a nerve...
How did it work out today for ya?
That Express "B" was not looking good at all today! Dominated by a town team and Hitmen! A lot of angry parents today!
Super Team?? They were not good at all. I do not like 91. Never have. With that said, have to respect how good they have always been. But today, they were not good at all. They were dominated by Express and Igloo, and igloo B team gave them a game. I'm assuming it's just that combined two great teams and they are feeling things out. Nothing jelling yet. I'm sure they will be back to form soon enough, but today, it was just ugly.
Igloo has to be most improved, BOTh teams looked super impressive.
9* let egos ruin a good thing, Igloo will over take them and surpass them by the summer.
Express was impressive as well and will continue to be top dog.

Same crap, different year. Looks like Igloo may be the only top organization that has been able to develop a true, quality 2nd team. It's too bad LIE can't get its act together.

Coming from an Express parent: Everyone, starting with the two head coaches, should let the kids play and give it some time. No such thing as instant success, except for lottery winners. While Smash and United were two excellent teams, it appears that the majority of participants were interested in forming one team. That's their business and people should stop hating. Best believe that the newly formed 91 team will compete as one of the top teams in the country.

I agree - Igloo was very impressive today. Big difference from the team that lost to GC at NXT.
Express still very good but still relies on only a few tremendous Players.
It's hard to be a Super Team if you don't have the Ball. They better address their faceoff issues or it's going to be a long year.
Outlaws Stunk today. Shot selection is terrible. Coach better get that under control fast or they will have a tough time beating town teams.
Big improvement from the Rebels from last year. They are a few players from being a very good team.
Great day of Lacrosse. Glad to see all the island teams playing each other, I hope it continues.

It's been acknowledged by that Igloo was lights out today! Legit stud team that is going make for snow great lacrosse this spring! Winning one game, 8-5 in the spring shouldn't replace an Rxpress team that beat LITERALLY all of the tops teams from Boston all the way down to Texas! Let's talk after the summer and see who is king then! Express was all the best team all of last year!
And how about that Igloo second team! Impressive!
How about TZ of the wsyl champs embarrassing himself and team by getting tossed in a fall game! Hack!
"Took them apart" - get real. Igloo played well today. Remember what happened last year after Blatant. Igloo went to MD and got spanked by several teams. Fall Ball - don't get ahead of yourselves.

Are you crazy that Express B was dominated by a Town Team? Go back and read the scores Hitmen. They played well and scored, what happened to you? Can you say blowout. Hitmen NEVER dominated Express B, again look at the score. Express B parents not crazy or upset or venting against MC on here. However, to come on this forum and post such carp to stir the pot, well maybe you should lick the spoon idiot. Express B is a work in progress just as other newly formed teams. Not claiming to be anything. Not beating chests, etc. Will b e happy to scrimmage or play Hitmen Amy time or any day. Careful what you divulge on here, you, you just may expose yourself.

Igloo beat express in the same tournament last year. Calm down. Yeaterday was the day to beat the super team.

Not based on yesterday. Legacy seems to be getting shaft after making playoffs. You don't get credit for being good or playing a close game. You get credit for winning games.
The 1 and 2 teams are ranking team selves higher and complaining about ranking ?? I don't understand. Just because you didn't lose as bad as you thought you would doesn't mean you are better than other teams who actually won a few games.
Igloo playing in Maryland this coming weekend could be some good match ups for them. Lot of good teams playing
That Express "B" was not looking good at all today! Dominated by a town team and Hitmen! A lot of angry parents today!
Nonsense on each point. What's your agenda?

Exactly, poster from above should read the prior blast from an Express B parent.
That Express "B" was not looking good at all today! Dominated by a town team and Hitmen! A lot of angry parents today!
Nonsense on each point. What's your agenda?
I'm not the original poster and I have a son the express team. Final score doesn't reflect the game. Hitmen pretty much controlled the game for the first 30 minutes. It was 3 or 4-0 at half time and they had a lot more opportunities. With 10 minutes left a kid who moved from hitmen to us picked a clearing pass from the goalie. Then he scored 2 more goals. He was carrying the team on his back clearly pumped and trying to prove something to his former team. I forgot who scored the 4th goal for us but they were all within about 8 minutes. Hitmen scored with about 2 minutes left and then held the ball to end the game. We got 2 fluky goals but hey they count. I don't think dominated is the right word that implies a large deficit but they admittedly controlled the game for most of it.
I'm sure we will see them again and I'm looking forward to it. We relied on one kid for the most part once we practice and play more we will be much improved.
What was the score between Hitmen and the town team? Umm, that would be 9-0, can you say shutout! Yep, for Express B and the town team (whom have played together for years and are a good B team), 9-3. Keep the nonsense going Hitmen. We know who you are that is posting!
Looks like fl$ is that tweener team. Not quite an A team and better than most B teams. But props for playing in the A bracket and taking your lumps instead of hiding in the B bracket and cleaning up like Empire last year
fl$ had a nice showing. Both of their face off guys are hurt but they still held there own.
"Took them apart" - get real. Igloo played well today. Remember what happened last year after Blatant. Igloo went to MD and got spanked by several teams. Fall Ball - don't get ahead of yourselves.
Its fine Express Daddy. Yesterday your sons team got dismantled and the better team won. Let it go !

Hitmen are a B team that claims they are a A team. They were not very impressive in the Havoc or the Blatant! They would get killed in the A division!!!

No one got dismantled. There will be wins and losses this coming year by all the tops teams. Igloo is going to have to win consistently like express. Remains to be seen. Teams in this division are highly competetive. Parents are just crazy.
Honestly all the teams looked sloppy yesterday. I don't think coach should be happy with their teams performance.

They didn't "kill " anyone. And they weren't sharp. Sharp enough to beat all the teams but not sharp enough. I'm sorry I forgot , now your a lax God. Prob never played they game but know everything. I'm not saying who's better then who and that nonsense. I'm stating the truth. A lot of sloppy play. Any team going to Maryland to compete , playing like that better improve quick

It doesn't make sense...they lost 9-0 to three village which is a very good town team, the same team express lost 9-3. Express then lost 5-4 to hitmen - point is what does the town game have to do with anything? Also if you want to play that game - how many games was that same Express team shut out in columbus day?
Not saying with a full team they'd win yesterdays A bracket - that's not the case at all and everyone knows that, but they'd be similar to the outlaws and at least compete with the lower level A's while testing against the higher level ones. Missing 3 of their best players definitely hurts and that's why they dropped from A bracket to B bracket in the last month. Either way they never claimed to be an elite A team. They ended last year as a high level B/low level A and with a full team should be right around there again come Summer.
Good luck to all the teams heading to MD this weekend. That tournament is looking pretty good.
He's just as bad as the bald express defenseman daddy. Thank God he left before game ended. I guess his kid didn't smell the field

Express B yes did not weather well in Columbus Day. How, where were you Hitmen. It was an A tourney and we are a B team which tied the other B team. What is your point? Stop stalking Express and worry about your own team. A little bizarre how you keep come after the Express team. STALKER
my apologies legacy beat aspen a little over a week ago and actually beat them up pretty good final score was close but the game wasnt
I am new to making no sense at alll so pardon me if I make sense...isn't the score the best indication of how close a game was?
It depends. A lot of teams let kids play that may not be completely ready for big games to get them exposure. When the score tightens they put the top players back in. It solves two problems. Parents who want to win and parents who want their kids to play.
They were at havoc the following week (we went 2-2 and played some A teams as well) and blatant this week. They do two Fall tournaments and then add as they are invited. No one's stalking anyone - it's a small lacrosse community things come up in conversation especially when you have players moving teams and keeping in contact with each other. That's what it's about, playing lacrosse, getting better, and making new friends you wouldn't have met otherwise. Of course winning is great too, but just competing and having close games is enough. Just because the jerseys they are wearing change doesn't mean they should stop being friends and talking about their common interests ie lacrosse.
As for the stalking, if you mean stalking is talking to some parents from Express on the sideline at half time about how their Fall was going and what tournaments they've done or will be doing that's how we (some parents) found out what happened at Columbus day weekend. It's probably also how you found out we got shut out our first game and played to .500 at Havoc...unless you weren't one of those parents we were talking too and you're the STALKER lol

A lot of unhappy parents with kids not seeing the field on aspen. Personally I'd rather have my son play. Not everyone can be an A player but kids will never get there not playing. All they have is we won.

It depends. A lot of teams let kids play that may not be completely ready for big games to get them exposure. When the score tightens they put the top players back in. It solves two problems. Parents who want to win and parents who want their kids to play.
Thanks toolbox it was a 1 goal game and never more than 1-3 goal lead, legacy squeaked by and will never beat igloo again, so no, this was not a hey let's put all the bench warmers in
I said lots of teams. Igloo B parents really are all riled up. Wonder why. At least at Express kids are guaranteed playing time for better or worse. A lot of unhappy parents with kids not seeing the field on aspen. Personally I'd rather have my son play. Not everyone can be an A player but kids will never get there not playing. All they have is we won.
That's the best...express kids are guaranteed playing time. Ha ha, express A teams carry 28-34 players and pick up and drops kids all year. Only in 9-12th grade do they carry a 24 person A team and an "as many as they can get away with B team". Channy will keep the same 10-13 on the field the entire year and not think twice about it. Good luck with thay
I don't get why people want that for their kid. If there was an opportunity to earn time by working hard at practice, I see that. If not, your son learns hard work and dedication by making all those practices gets you nothing. Nice life lesson... all hard doesn't get rewarded, I am of the opinion that everyone should play. We can all live with the bench shortening in the last 5 minutes to win, but at least every kid contributes.

If your son improves and is capable of making plays he will play. He will play the best 10 or so. Could change week to week . Who's got the hot hand. Life lessons aren't if u go to practice and work hard you will play. This is a select travel team. Best kids play. No favorites. Just talent. Not good enough to play in certain games .... That's a life lesson
I am a Hitmen parent and we are not even close to Outlaws Select, the 2nd 91 Team or Igloo B. I really don't think that could be a Hitmen parent posting, but if it is your are delusional. I don't put to much stock in fall tournaments because the players will be developing a lot between October and June when it matters. But all of you need to relax and stop posting about 12 year old boys!!! There is a ton of talent at this age group. I believe on any given day any one of the top teams, ( Igloo A, Express, 91, Legacy and Outlaws) could be one another. I watched a bunch of different teams play in the A and B brackets on Sunday. What I noticed was the daddy influence. Pretty much every team had players where you could clearly tell they spent too much time listening to Daddy at the kitchen table and not enough time listening to what the coaches want them to do. Think that will be fixed in most cases by the time we see these teams again in the spring and summer.

12 year old lacrosse is not about life lessons. It's about improving and playing for a good coach and great environment. The extra win or two will mean nothing in a few years.
If coach is going to play the "best 10 or so," then why take 30 kids on the team? There's a batch of good middies that will never get the chance they need to develop.

The A team is a whole different ballgame. We are talking about B
Good coaches at this age find a way to make it work. If they don't than you should find a new team that fits your kid. They take 23+ kids for practices. Like every level practice is where kids develop and get better. If that is not happening and your kid is not learning and growing in the game , its not a good fit. These days its clear what teams and even entire clubs play only the numbers. 1-10.

Everything young people experience is a life lesson. But your latter points are spot on. Good environment that provides encouragement and rewards hard work.

FACT!
The "new" LegASScy team. The ego maniac TZ coaches them!
I am a Hitmen parent and we are not even close to Outlaws Select, the 2nd 91 Team or Igloo B. I really don't think that could be a Hitmen parent posting, but if it is your are delusional. I don't put to much stock in fall tournaments because the players will be developing a lot between October and June when it matters. But all of you need to relax and stop posting about 12 year old boys!!! There is a ton of talent at this age group.

Think that will be fixed in most cases by the time we see these teams again in the spring and summer.
I think what happened are people posting inaccurate information regarding lots of teams and trying to stir the pot. Truth be told, a lot of good competition in the A and B brackets. It's fall ball and we have a long way to go before the spring and summer season. What's unfortunate, parents from teams such as Hitmen, Express, Legacy, etc. post things about kids that are specifically based that anyone who knows them knows who they are referrig to in their posts. If the posters would indeed stop this nonsense, life would be easier. Daddy's living life through their kids. Rant over.
all posts are pretty much spot on ,some parents need to understand if your kid does not get much playing time and not on field during tight games its time to move on , all the practices, clinics,and private instruction doesn't mean anything if you cant produce on the field. Now is the time to make a move to a team were u can get as much time as you can if it means moving to a B team accept it . No help to your son if hes on a A team if not playing. boys are still only 12 still plenty of time to develop if you let them ..
If coach is going to play the "best 10 or so," then why take 30 kids on the team? There's a batch of good middies that will never get the chance they need to develop.
money money money !!! that's why guess you haven't realized that its a business and these coaches, owners do not care about your child wake up ! as long as your check clears your kid can be on ANY team ...its whether he will play or not
You got that right, it's all about the playing time.
Maniac, TZ is hungry to win with 21 kids on roster. No different than 91 who has 2 maniacs, express has it's ruthless money grubbing maniac, igloo penguin's with their fake up front cost model, or any of the others. In case you think I'm crazy why have 28-32 players on a team, because profitability goes up, up, up!! TZ has 21, who's the ruthless maniac now??

They do get a chancw. Many are not ready yet. Plenty of players got a chance to play in the big games this weekend. Let's face it, 2022 is highly competetive.
Blah blah blah. Every age is competitive. A lot of kids playing is more like it.

Agreed. You can't get better watching from the bench. What's more important, to be on the "A" team but barely seeing the field or playing on the "B" team and getting a ton of reps as one of the go to players?

Agree. The combination of parents' egos and the historically poor attention paid to development of B teams by organizations dooms the B teams to failure. It's a never ending cycle.
It is funny how this site has become a high school cafe. Parents in here disrespecting kids, coaches and the game. Social Media cowards! So many of these kids play great and loser parents make it about the W! Grow up, look at your fat and bald self in the mirror and realize your time is done and talk about the unbelievable goals, the great saves and laugh at some of the crazy ref calls.

This is the most spot on post I have seen on this site. You are a parent that obviously gets it!

most parents know that going in especially if you have been on the team for a couple of years. it's not a revelation. not fair maybe but not going to change either.

The B team if it's not neglected, has a dedicated coach and doesnt have 30 kids on it. To stay on a team and hope for blowouts to get minutes makes no sense to me. But to each his own and it's my opinion.
Agreed. Best post I've seen on this site.
Spending $3k to play on a B team ?? Why not save your money play town . Train yourself on wall maybe some training groups. If u live in a decent lacrosse town , most youth coaches know the game also. Only making the Godfathers rich otherwise

Great Question. Play on an A Team but don't get in much in tight games but practice with better players all the time or be the go to guy on a B team and be the one of the best guys at Practice.
At this age I think it would be better to be on an A team so you can practice with better players. A teams practice alot and their only a limited number of tournaments.

It's a tough balance because in practice, the best players coaches know and trust, don't really "practice" at their highest levels and the coach doesn't care. Playing against other competition, pushing yourself and making name for yourself on a B team could help at a tryout later! Kid be that stud that comes out of no where and now has a meaningful seat at the table! I think playing lots of minutes is the better option! My opinion! I'm not a guy who knows what is what in this racket but what I think would make sense! Bottom line, I like to see my kid happy and actually learning! Whatever comes after is gravy! God bless and good luck to all of our boys!
At this age I think it would be better to be on an A team so you can practice with better players. A teams practice alot and their only a limited number of tournaments.
My opinion at this age is opposite. Play on B and gain confidence but hit the wall and get better.

And if you don't make an A team in an A club? What do you do, stop playing? Do what is best for your kid and stop judging what other people do. If your kid is improving you made the right choice.

I understand that. When these tourneys like Elite 8 come up and every game is a nail biter, you son can watch 5 games or see less than 5 minutes. Granted practicing more at a higher level will improve the player, but not playing at 12 years old is not worth being on the practice squad. Again, my opinion and if your son is happy that's all that matters.
I agree. It's tough at 12 to build confidence if they're riding the bench. It's also difficult spending money on hotels and traveling four hours and watching your son take that hit to his confidence. I think playing on B at this age is better.
much better confidence builder playing b level as a starter , then not playing much at the A level. unfortunately some parents don't get it! Just because your kid is at bottom barrel of A team doesn't make him an A player. do whats best for your kid and not your EGO !!

Riding the bench at any age, but especially at 12 y/o, is a confidence killer. Saw it first hand with my guy last season. We just had to take a step back this year from the madness. He is much happier, I am much happier, and in the long run, playing competitive town ball and a B team, hitting the wall, and engaging in some private training is working for him. To each his own, but we had a miserable experience on a top A team last year.

well said!
could agree with you more..
Well you sound like a sane parent which is refreshing to read on this blog. Your son is lucky to have parents who won't put up with or stay stuck in the madness. Good luck to you and your son.
Last opinion on this, although it's a good topic to discuss. If your son isn't playing, ask the coach I am wasting my time and should I go elsewhere? You'll suddenly become important because you will be treated as a client should. We are the clients and that is forgotton way too often.
All of a sudden we have become reasonable and rational! This is the kind of discussion we should have been having in here!
I think if we parents truly think about our boys and not bragging to others that my boy plays for such and such A team, whilst "riding the pine", it would be very beneficial for his development. Most B teams aren't the most glamorous but your son will grow.
If your son is like mine, being on a B team is making him hungry, he's working harder and super motivated!
Our son didn't see much time when he started playing A and we encouraged him to look at B but he had his heart set on A so we told him we will always support him but if he didn't step up and earn time, it would be tough to commit to the travel, expenses, etc the following year to watch him ride the bench. He took it as a challenge and thankfully earned more time and made the most of it; now he sees all kinds of time. I was always of the view that a kid needs PT to get better and he should play B. But he WANTED A and we supported him 'going for it' as any parent would, and he delivered, which REALLY jacked his confidence. Could have gone either way and we were lucky; but not making it would provide another valuable lesson: that life goes on and u have to pick yourself back up.

The hold back argument is so boring.
Maryland parent here congrats to igloo battle of the bay.
Express and Igloo have very good teams
Agreed!
At all positions.
Great to see them compete at such a high level.
Going to be a fun year.
MD parents calmer than Long Island parents.
Richmond team was very good
Duke's beat Express in losers bracket
Chaney emptied the bench
MD parents calmer than Long Island parents.
That's because they are in 7th grade. You'd have to be a little off to get so worked up over it
My son played this weekend in MD. Great weather, great competition. Well run tournament. Big difference relative to LI, the refs let the kids play...not talking about kids getting hurt but NCAA rules, consitent calls, physical but not out of control, also parents seemed to handle themselves better than on LI. Just my observation.
We had boys there too. Aggressive play, consistent refs, amazing weather and high level lacrosse. Tournament well-run and friendly. Fields not groomed well and inconsistent. Parents got along despite a few obnoxious crazy people. We heard teams flied kids to Maryland from around the country and that was interesting. Our kids been on same team for years and won some lost some but are a team and stick together. That lmore important than win at all costs or should be
Says the express dad who refuses to write the word "Igloo" after losing to them twice in as many weeks. Both teams very good but Igloo owned this tournament (2021 2022 and 2023). Fall ball whatever Igloo came out of the gate strong winning Balatnt and Battle by the Bay back-to-back weekend sgoing 11-0 beating express twice Smunited an older Hawks team and a very good Richmond team twice. Form is very quiet after a full weekend of elite lacrosse because smunited parents hiding and express parents humbled.

Obviously you are not humbled! Take a seat and breathe tough guy! Not enough to congratulate Igloo for a tremendous weekend. You don't have to be a tool your entire life! Hack
It's sad that Express parents come on here for months bragging about wins and being the best etc etc...... Then igloo wins (another) tourney fair and square, minus 2 key players that couldn't make it AND with no "guest" players from out of state and you can't just let them have their win. The roster hardly changed from last season. They didn't win because of 3 new players. They won because they worked together as a team. No bragging here. Facts are facts. Get over it and move on.
Hey express dad!! What happened to the texas train? Did it miss the station? what a j--k off you are for posting that last week !!
Savor the flavor Icebox. The Texas Train will be in the MD station next week
I guess the texas train missed the md station
Simple fact of the Igloo-Express matchups. Express faceoff kid didn't dominate at the X like last year. AND it was a great game
tool bag statement for sure! Leave the kids out of it. You are an equal tool for bringing it up.

I guess some of the idiots on here might believe that. Clearly a bigger faster team from just a few months ago.
Are you guys really having an argument over 12 yr old lacrosse. Hahahahah.
You sound surprised. 1st time on botc?
Fall ball but igloo already beat ***super team, Express A and now your older Hawks.
Seems like a lot of former smunited players on Igloo now so there's your super team
Nah others teams getting settled. Simmer down

You're the idiot. NO HOLDBACKS. Kids grow.
i had to read that three times. crazy an express parent says that when helmets change all season, kids flown in from around country and 30 kids on team and please stop screaming all game especially mr video and mr. defense. let everyone watch the game in peace. too much.

MR. DEFENSE His son cant stand him

I love it when the Igloo parents make posts impersonating opposing team parents. Very nice. Igloo has the greatest parents in the world.

That's just dumb.
None of the kids are that big in comparison to some of the bigger kids on teams Igloo has played against
None of the kids are that big in comparison to some of the bigger kids on teams Igloo has played against
They were just as big as any other team this past weekend and bigger than most.
Doesn't mean a thing but thats the truth.

What tournament were you at???? You are delusional. The kids range in all sizes and we're definitely not bigger than most of the other teams. Get your eyes checked
Igloo won the tournament. Stop saying it is because they have holdbacks and now saying they are bigger than all the other teams. Stop trying to come up with excuses why your son's team didn't win. Enough is enough.
Can't we just move on.
Elite 80 this coming weekend.
Should be fun to see all the boy's
Playing together from all the top team.

That's funny since Igloo parents have been the biggest complainers of kids being bigger on other teams and falsely accusing them of being holdbacks. I agree bigger doesn't mean holdbacks. Don't like it when it's pointed at you, maybe now you'll just let the kids play without all of your complaining.

Top teams? I was a first come, first served after the Igloo teams got first right of refusal a week earlier. The talent pool will be very mixed.

Agreed. The parents need to stop this poison from spreading before it gets to the kids
The kids are fine. In spite of crazy dads, the kids are the more mature ones. Check your kids Instagram posts. Kids from Express friends with kids from Express and so on. Funny comments back and forth and nothing hurtful. The dads on this board could learn a lesson from their sons.

This is biggest money grab of all time. These colleges are still looking at 2018 and 2019. You think anyone getting recruited in 7th grade??? ^ years before college. Do the math on how much money the club and coaches are making on this event. And it is safe to say, not one 2021 or 2022 will get committed.
All money to promote Igloo and an attempt to get the program exposure with college coaches, paid for by the participants.
Where else can the 2022 boys get coached by 13 of the top coaches in the country? The price is very reasonable for the day in my opinion.And the reality is this is an event to help Igloo gain notoriety as a top club. Nobody is expecting their 2022 kids to get committed at this thing BUT the hope would be the coaches would say "Wow they have got a lot of talent in the younger ages to lookout for in the future..I should keep coming back to this thing" That will only hope the boys that participate in this event for years to come. Stop the hate on this event, if you knew how much was being put into it you'd be embarrassed for trashing it.

I have been to a few of these things with my kids over the years..unless he is a top 20 player you are wasting your time and money..these are the ultimate money grabs . This is just the latest one that's all..Same gimmick and it will find the same suckers

not all 13 coaches are coaching the 2022. From my understanding there will be 1 coach for each team (4 teams 2022) so your kid will be seen by 4 coaches. not bad but not great either for the money.
Will you people just knock it off??? If you don't like it don't go! Jeez!

Great marketing
not true....the coaches will be running 4 different stations for drills 3 at each station so they will be coached by them all in some capacity. As for games they will have 2 coaches assigned per team per game so they will spend a bit more time with 6 of the coaches

Loser? Maybe 15 0f those kids will commit before their junior year. The rest after. Spending this money on 12 year olds is stupid. And these coaches are doing for the money. Not to find the best middle schooler who hasn't ever played a middle school game no less a high school game!
Of course it is a money grab. Why do you act surprised? Every club is a money grab you just hope your kid enjoys him/herself and gets better if that is what he or she wants to do. This forum is so negative. We all know what this is or at least we should by now. At the end of the day this is a game played by twelve year olds.

If you don't want to go then don't go i decided to send my kid for the experience my choice my money.... not looking to get recruited just looking to go have what sounds like a great experience .......but thanks for your input MR. Lax
Spend more money and get more experience with Duke's Nationals too...double up and it will be a great day.
Igloo won the tournament. Stop saying it is because they have holdbacks and now saying they are bigger than all the other teams. Stop trying to come up with excuses why your son's team didn't win. Enough is enough.
Not an Igloo parent - but have to say that they are very disciplined and execute.. they make very few mistakes.. and that's what will win lax games. They are playing well
Curious and have a question. How does a team play in Denver? There seems to be some behind the scene's chatter that doesn't make sense. Express Chaney and Igloo A both thinking they are going? How do they know already. Not stiring the pot, just asking so I can shut the big talker show down.

I am getting the feeling that you are a bitter dad whose kid didn't make/get asked/invited to one too many things or you choose not to spend the time or money so now you come on here and preach hatred about everything. Focus on your kid and what he is doing and don't worry about the rest of us.
I'd heard that Express was not entering a team for the WSYL (don't know if that is true or not..never know). If they were to enter a team you'd have to believe they would have a very good chance to finish in the top 4 of the regional qualifier which would make them eligible.Same could be said for Igloo

This is how this works. People say stupid things. Other disagree. Everyone has a opinion. It's called a forum.
People love to stir the pot and make everything negative.Win as a team, lose as a team.

Just contact them. They are hurting for decent teams. Most teams are terrible, but are willing to pay the fees and travel expenses. It's a lot to pay for a B level tournament.

again..team needs to qualify first. Lots of good teams/organizations around. Not just any team will make it to Denver at least from this area.

A bit hypocritical to post at 5 AM. Please be sure to tell us all how great Igloo's showcase is this weekend. Maybe even pretend to be from another program
Are all the top teams bringing compilations to WSYL?
Are all the top teams bringing compilations to WSYL?
No - most are skipping it and only playing real tourneys.
Good one!..no reason to go to this tournament if you have no chance of winning.Long way to go and expensive if your team makes it to Denver. The idea that a team may qualify but really has no chance to win or make it to the final is a legitimate reason for SOME clubs not to go. For others, they have kids that don't qualify age wise and because of that they either wont be competitive without them or simply don't like the idea of competing and leaving a few kids behind. As always its about the experience you want for your son.

How was the Elite 1K i mean 80 on Long Island. My thoughts is its the biggest waste of $. Do you really think these college coaches care to look at 7th graders? They did it for the quick loot. some parents are just out of their minds thinking their kids will be getting a lax scholarship. Open your eyes and get them a tutor.your kid is too young for this type of event.

You are such a loser. The kids had a great time. It wasn't about recruiting it was about a day of lacrosse interacting with college coaches. Stop being such a killjoy loser idiot find something else to do with your spare time. You are a total [lacrosse]
Igloo killed it today. Unreal.

You are a COWARD! Hater, who's kid never grew and turned out to be a bench rider and you are miserable for it. Go crawl in a hole and sign your kid up for the debate club. Loser!
"That felt good"
Hope the kids had a great time, with great coaches.

Thanks Dad. Let me fill you in on a few things. First of all it's my money!!! If I want to light it on fire that's my prerogative. Second of all my son had a great day. The weather was perfect, he had an opportunity to play with his friends and some kids he usually plays against. He had a chance to meet and play for some of the best coaches in the nation and....it was a very very well run event. My guess is you spend more in a month on booze than I spent on this event so while you sat at home nursing your favorite scotch I chose to spend a day watching my son have a great experience....and to me that's priceless.

And one more thing....thank you for the advice but luckily my son doesn't need a tutor

Great experience. Getting coached up by some of the best in the game. Playing with other talented players. Agree they won't remember anyone's name but that's what makes it even better for this age group. No pressure, no clipboards. Just play.
Great to hear it was such a good experience. Hopefully they will have it again next year and have 8 teams for the 22's like they did this year for the 21's so more of our boys can attend.
Denver HC spoke to each group and then had Q&A with parents after he spoke to the boys. Not a rush job either
Answered every parent question and then headed back onto fields to coach
Would they then change the name?
They weren't looking at 22s. Wake up. They were at 19-21s. 22 session same time as 19-20s So 22 help pay the cost of the day. Guaranteed next year is bigger and better. Coaches all made notations in their books during the session and coaches have all parent info that's to TA
If you are with one of those"other programs" boy don't they really care about your kids . Funny heard some feed back on ways they discourage there kids from attending this event and THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEM SELVES. VERY SAD TACTICS PULLING INVITES TO SHOWCASES so SAD WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LACROSEE COMMUNITY ITS ONE THING TO NOT LIKE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE KIDS ... HOPE PARENTS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND RUN FOR THERE LIVES. AND TO THE GUYS WHO DISCOURAGED KIDS FROM COMING YOU REALLY NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT AND WHO THIS IS ABOUT . ITS ABOUT THIS GREAT GAME THAT WE LOVE AND HOPING WE CAN INFUSE SOME KIDS WITH THE SAME LOVE . STOP THE HATE.
Actually the event was about Igloo trying to build its brand with some college coaches and getting those who attended to subsidize the effort. Don't fool yourself or try to spin it.
God forbid a club other then nine T one has something we'll run with top college coaches. They can't handle the truth !!
Subsidize [lacrosse] there wasn't a parent or player that left there and said boy what a waste of money like the majority of this NLF CRAP .....PLEASE ENOUGH... TAKE A WALK THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS AND AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME .... YO BOZO SEND YOUR KID NEXT TIME

It was about Igloo kids being guilted into doing it. Probably 3/4 Igloo suckers and 1/4 even less smart. How much money did these coaches make and what was Igloos take????

You are really out of line calling any of the kids suckers. Nobody was guilty into doing anything. You really need to move on about this
only way this would've been a waste is IF the coaches were no-shows.
TA mustve paid thru the nose. but it was worth it
What makes it worth it? It was a recruiting event. Did your 2022 kid get contacted by any coaches from Saturday?

So No?
Do you think its a problem if a 2022 player plays on more than one team?
Me personally I think if a kid has an opportunity to play they should and no club should EVER tell a kid they can't play anywhere else. Especially after making their tuition payment.
Sounds ridiculous but it happens. Just think of this this way, if the parents told the club coach once the team was formed they can't add any players or coach anywhere else how would that sound? Crazy right, so what gives the coaches the right To tell a kid they can't play anywhere else except for them. NONE. They would drop them in a hearbeat if they found someone better. Just sounds crazy how some of these guys think. They have no loyalty to your kid but if the kid finds another outlet outside of their lacrosse empire they go nuts. Makes no sense.
Do you think its a problem if a 2022 player plays on more than one team?
Me personally I think if a kid has an opportunity to play they should and no club should EVER tell a kid they can't play anywhere else. Especially after making their tuition payment.
Sounds ridiculous but it happens. Just think of this this way, if the parents told the club coach once the team was formed they can't add any players or coach anywhere else how would that sound?

Where does he play when both teams have a tournament the same day in different locations? Unless both teams know in advance when the kid accepts the offer that there are tournaments he might not make, you put the rest of one of the teams at risk.
Say the kid is a FOGO on a NY-based "A" team and on the Duke's National team. What happens when he decides to play for the Duke's team at Hogan's Summer Exposure the second weekend in June instead of for the NY-based "A" team at LI Laxfest the same weekend. Now you have an "A" team playing in a competitive tournament without their FOGO - and with very few exceptions, nobody is carrying two killer FOGOs.
The only way this works is if both teams know about the conflict and still decide to add the kid to the roster knowing that there is a chance that they will be S.O.L. if he wants to play for the other team that weekend.
Either that or Duke's has a National roster of 70 kids and a copy of everyone's schedule in the northeast so that they know where to get players for any tournament that they want to enter.
If you are with one of those"other programs" boy don't they really care about your kids . Funny heard some feed back on ways they discourage there kids from attending this event and THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEM SELVES. VERY SAD TACTICS PULLING INVITES TO SHOWCASES so SAD WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LACROSEE COMMUNITY ITS ONE THING TO NOT LIKE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE KIDS ... HOPE PARENTS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND RUN FOR THERE LIVES. AND TO THE GUYS WHO DISCOURAGED KIDS FROM COMING YOU REALLY NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT AND WHO THIS IS ABOUT . ITS ABOUT THIS GREAT GAME THAT WE LOVE AND HOPING WE CAN INFUSE SOME KIDS WITH THE SAME LOVE . STOP THE HATE.
My son plays for "another program" and he felt very welcome

Mind your own business. Why do you care about what other people are doing and what their kids are doing so much?
Subsidize [lacrosse] there wasn't a parent or player that left there and said boy what a waste of money like the majority of this NLF CRAP .....PLEASE ENOUGH... TAKE A WALK THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS AND AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME .... YO BOZO SEND YOUR KID NEXT TIME
sad that you consider this an "Experience of a life time"
you must not get out much LOSER!!!!
How was the Elite 1K i mean 80 on Long Island. My thoughts is its the biggest waste of $. Do you really think these college coaches care to look at 7th graders? They did it for the quick loot. some parents are just out of their minds thinking their kids will be getting a lax scholarship. Open your eyes and get them a tutor.your kid is too young for this type of event.
Thanks Dad. Let me fill you in on a few things. First of all it's my money!!! If I want to light it on fire that's my prerogative. Second of all my son had a great day. The weather was perfect, he had an opportunity to play with his friends and some kids he usually plays against. He had a chance to meet and play for some of the best coaches in the nation and....it was a very very well run event. My guess is you spend more in a month on booze than I spent on this event so while you sat at home nursing your favorite scotch I chose to spend a day watching my son have a great experience....and to me that's priceless.
^ love this response... phuck you... he will burn his money so look a different way phucko.

Is it a problem to play on multiple, no. I'd like to know a little bit more why you would want to play on multiple teams given the amount of time one team takes......if it is because you aren't getting fair share of playing time on the 1st team, I'd ask 'why are you staying there?'
You may want to ask yourself though, is it fair to the team (and your sons teammates) that you are taking up a roster spot knowing that potential conflicts may come up?? Probably not
I don't agree with a coach or club mandating anything to parents who are paying. It is your money....but this is travel sports (not specific to lacrosse), not the land unicorns and rainbows. Will a team drop you if you are not committed, absolutely.
Now, i don't have a problem with a coach discouraging people from playing on another team. Why would he want a player on his team that may not be fully committed? By taking a spot on a team, you are committing to be in attendance for all practices and games/tournaments
So to wrap up, go ahead and play multiple clubs all you want....but don't blame a club if they drop you, or don't offer a spot next season. You are bringing the conflicts on yourself
Nice, is this a lacrosse thread or the Jerry Springer show. Class act both of you.
Good Tournament tomorrow at Lehigh. Express, 91 AA, Edge (Canada), 91 A, Leading Edge (NJ), Blaze (Rochester), NJ Thunder, Dukes

Disappointing? Because the coaches/parents put win only expectations on these kids instead of just letting them have fun. Who cares who wins as long as it's good competition. Now it's great if they win, of course. But disappointing, really? If my son payed hard, had fun and lost, oh well. I would never say disappointed...

Ha ha, 91 tried to enter a tourney they could win to shake of the embarrassment of the last tourney. But uh oh, Dukes entered, ouch if 91 loses, do you just shut it down and spare the parents and unfortunately the kids the stress of trying to win? Do you call yourself a B team? Do you admit united coach was better than smash...oh boy
Last year United beat Express in spring , lost by a goal in last seconds in summer at Elite 8. Fall , express beats Superteam handily so far. We'll see what happens next.

Express parent: will be a cold one, but I agree, should be another good day of lacrosse. Wish the instigators would stop with the negativity. 91 2022 was and is a very talented bunch of players. Stop judging and measuring. Be certain, both teams will develop and compete at the highest level.

No way Dukes beats 9-1. The talent is just not there
That's not dukes national team. Different animal. Not happening.
where are duke young guns from? do they have anything to do with duke national team?
Any special guests playing for express today??
How'd super team do today?
Super team played great, almost pulled upset over Express in pool play. Express squeaked out championship by a couple. Fun day of fall lax.
Igloo parents had drones video the games...coaches are studying film tonight and will distribute playbooks tomorrow.

Tight, competitive games that could have went either way. Like it's been for a year now. So combining teams was a zero sum gain, likely because the bench shortens in these games and the top 10-13 on all the teams are all great players.
Super team "almost" upset express? Really? This team was put together to beat this team. They have 4 losses so far this fall. Let's be honest here, they do not look like they will be a top team. Lot of unhappy parents and more importantly kids on that team. Deny it all you want but deep down you know it's true. A mistake was made by 91. By the summer season I see this team as #4 or #5 on long Island. Sorry. But look at that team. It's not there.

Brutal commentary about 12-13 year olds. Its fall ball and which sounds like a miserable daddy trying to justify something . Sad to come on here talk like that about a ver good program and a top level team . Fall Ball lacrosse .. Pathetic
what a waste of time for express and superteam to drive 3 hours to beat up on b/c teams and then play eachother twice ,should have stayed home and had a play day with igloo and outlaws

Outlaws were there at Lehigh also. They just played in the B division and lost to headstrong.
No reason to leave Long Island. That's why Maryland doesn't travel.
Boys got to play on a great campus, in a neighboring state, and see another university. Good to go against different teams and let all of the players play. All of the top Long Island teams will have plentry of opportunities to play eachother. Play days amongt themselves would get old fast, plus some of the parents are so unpleasant to be around.
Parents unpleasant to be around so true, Quack Quack
yes why leave LI at this age group plenty comp here. That being said Express and 91AA 2 best at KOH 2022. However, not that close. They did meet twice with 1st game close because express played more of there bench. Champ game once 2-0 lead channy shortened bench shut them down. Not close and a alot of screaming. Express top 12 play well as unit. New 91 look out of sync. After the top3-4 middies look less atheletic ,Bigger at d-pole but notably slower at times and less atheletic as well. This is fall ball things will change with practice.
Sorry sir that was outlaws gold. But good try.

Kids are being taught to hit kids with sticks while they are down on the ground after the plays. The problem is with the coaching.
Yes who cares about the outlaws lol

The 91 2nd team looked pretty good this weekend!
Yes the A team played well, but 91 players and teams would have been much better served sticking with Smash and United. Unfortunate for the kids that the coaches tried to fix a good thing.

I think it was FAT part which is referring to the other coach anyway
Yes, but depersonalize it for a second...there should be no place on BOTC for anyone being described like so. Bad enough that today's young generation see it elsewhere. Maybe we should agree to disagree.

I think the play you are referring to happened in then 91AA/Express Game. A player with the ball fell to the ground and still had the ball in his stick. The players were hitting his stick to dislodge the ball. They were not hitting the kid and the Ref was right there and even said Play On. It was not malicious at all. It's part of the game.

The SuperTeam will be fine and I bet will be the top team come Summer. If you took 12 kids from Igloo and 12 from Express do you think they would be gelling with only a couple of practices? No! The Kids are just getting to know each other and what their role is on the team. I think both United and Smash beat the Express/32 Superteam a few times before they started playing like the Express team they are today.

Then I don't recall the play but know both the Express and 91 coach's coaches very well and know they don't teach or condone that type of play.
Thanks 91 coach, we've heard that line before.

Enough with the "gelling". That's like a new lacrosse term by parents who never played the game. Lacrosse is lacrosse. IQ is IQ. Play the game. At this age it's simple.
Give it some time. Still a strong bunch of players and experienced coaches who know the game. Fall ball.
well of course they are 12 year olds and they have time . A lot of talent at 2022 level no one team truly dominating like 2020 age group. that's a good thing

What does fall ball mean other then it rhymes ?? These kids barely put down sticks since August fall tryouts now 2 days a week practices been going on for a month. So what does fall ball mean ? No excuses. I forgot , they need time to "gel"

The SuperTeam is not practicing twice a week, they have had only 3 or 4 practices together. And Gel is not a new term.

Have invites gone out for NLF at IMG in January?

yes, call them.
Black Ice always the Team to beat
not getting invited unless your on a team that belongs to NLF organization, what don't you understand??
Yes who cares about the outlaws lol
Outlaws Select are irrelevant ! They never want to play in too many tournament with the top Long Island teams! I don't know why PB is afraid to face the real competition ! Although they did go to Delaware to avoid competition and got killed by a Maryland team!
What is your beef with the Outlaws? Did your kid not make select? its ok let him play elsewhere!

Why is this everyone's response when a team is criticized? The ability to recognize that most of these clubs are run by unscrupulous people doesn't mean that your kid got cut by said club.
Picking a club is like having to choose between Donald and Hillary. Just a question of how dirty you want to get.
Have invites gone out for NLF at IMG in January?
yes, call them.
This is a real question, what are the benefits to sending a 12 year old to the IMG Camp in January? Between the cost of the Camp, Flying, Hotel, Food it is probably a $1500/$2000 expense. I am thinking about doing it but want to know if it is worth it. Have done the NLF camp in Boston the last 2 years and my son enjoyed it but didn't really learn anything.
Looking for some honest feedback because I am on the fence. Thanks.
NLF camp is useless if your son is a middie. Too many middies on each team, plus fogo, plus lsm. I was told IMG is beautiful, but they're are not looking at 2022's. So I guess if u have money to burn it can be fun, otherwise wait.
I agree, I think it is a nice getaway for father and son. I don't think anyone is taking their son to be looked at. I'm going to getaway from NY weather and have my son enjoy the facility.

I'm getting away for a few days with my son for a different and new experience. People are going to say negative stuff no matter what. Either their kid wasn't invited or maybe was and they don't feel like spending the money which is their personal choice. Everybody needs to stop with all the background noise and just focus on their own life and their own kid and move on. That's my advice. you know somebody's gonna come back at this with some wise [lacrosse] remark – just ignore it
Agee with last post ,IMG academy is beautiful we all know this age isn't being requited but what an experience for the boys to get a chance to play down in florida on a January weekend . Enjoy
Who is playing in The Fall Classic this weekend, did the eskimos run to their Igloos already for the winter?
You will have to till spring for another shot at Igloo.

It will be worth the wait. Great to have 3 top teams on the island, should be a fun summer!

LOSER
Who's he 3rd top team? Hope you don't mean super team. Not going to be there. Team is imploding. Sorry.
Throwing a question out there:
Ok to celebrate on the field after an assist, goal or great play?
Old school: never
New School: celebrate for a first down when losing by 20 in the 4th quarter.
Any thoughts?
I try to keep it under wrap but then i am the party killer...
I laugh and then i am encouraging it..

SuperTeam will be fine and will be the top team come summer and you know it.

Didn'tthey loose some players already this fall?
Unfortunately, the demise of every team will
be the parents, not the players.
in 91's case it appears to have been the coaches and or leadership
I don't know what anyone is talking about, but if you're talking Super Team, it's the parents for sure
You are right, you don't know what you are talking about. It certainly was not the idea or concensus of the Smash and United parents, but rather all club leadership and coaches.
Deez nuts are all mixed up now...mixed nuts. You always get a few that don't taste so good or really belong in the cocktail mix. All you crazies thinking you were the next crush--too funny. High water mark for that team was 4th grade...
Deez nuts missed you where have you been. Lol

4th grade the lost to Diamondbacks. 5th grade was high water.
Team 92 super team got deep nuts beat by B teams today. Went 1-2 at farmingdale today. Oh boy. I know we will hear how they played up. So what.
My son ( 2021) was invited and I checked SW Air from Islip and $700-900 depending on time and day of flights. Rental car, hotel 3-4 nights? Camp is $595.
Figured roughly $2000-2500. We would love to go but it's a bit pricey. If it was on LI , no brainer. Since he is a 2021, will plan for next year.
I think every time a pitcher throws a strike or a fielder makes a routine play, they all should do some kind of pre-rehearsed dance.
Team 92 super team got deep nuts beat by B teams today. Went 1-2 at farmingdale today. Oh boy. I know we will hear how they played up. So what.
So they should have destroyed alll of the 2022 teams instead????? Not a very competitive 2022 bracket. Playing up was the right move for them. Why are you so concerned. If your son isn't on the team or playing against them today why would you care??? Creep
oh you sound very street! Face it they played so-so 2021 teams and did not compete very well. I know it is hard to take but they are only 12 , get over it move on.
If I was the head Coach of the super team I would have played them in the 2022 bracket.
They need to build conference. Some routes could have definitely help. It's a long winter with no games. Just my opinion.
Mayflower Madness Schedule?
Bring that super team to Maryland beat them in 3rd grade 4th 5th and 6th. Will beat them again in 7th grade. #SuperDeezNutsTeam can't win in Maryland.

So I take it you're from Maryland huh? why don't you stay on your boards and keep off of here
Big statement crab face...newsflash, they aren't winning on LI either. Little lax drones time has passed them by--parents keep springing for shooting lessons and drills and makinng them go outside for 100 more lefty throws a day and it don't matter. Stay humble MD, its what everyone used to like about your state. and we won't be competing against you in the near future anyway when you drop back to '23's---go bother that site and figure out who your enemies are going to be at that age group.

Maryland is full of teams that can play with LI top 2or maybe 3 teams, every day all day. Week in and week out MD teams play each other and there is no hiding . So lets not go crazy and start running off at the mouth. Competition is much greater and always has been.Whicj is why LI travels to Maryland 3 or 3 weekends in the Fall. What do you think would happen if MD put a SUPER TEAM together or stacked a team with all the talent. They do not because there is ton of top talent all over . Pretty sure they did send a ALL STAR team up last year and beat everyone they faced.
Enemies? In MD we call it competition..

Is that why all your TOP CLUBS come to MD 3 times in the fall and 3 times in the summer. To play weaker teams? They come because the talent level is much higher and there is 10 teams that can run with your so called top 2 teams.
Which is also why MD only travels 1 time a year to LI.

Diamondbacks only team close to being able to support that boast - but not quite.
I'll warn the 23 thread you coming...
Nothing like saying you are a top Maryland team stacked with 21's, throw in a '20 and then have the balls to say you wipe the top LI teams.
Majority of LI teams have integrity, and play the year. No holdbacks or double holdbacks.
Go brag on the Maryland boards.

You gals talk so much [lacrosse] to each other that it is not enough for ya , you have to try to bash another state. Be thankful you don't live in MD because if you did your kid might not be playing lax anymore and you would be a laughing stock..
Happy Holidays- we will see you this Summer when its time to come play in MD against very good teams .

Hey Maryland dads as u go in to the winter months remember this, Express beat all of your top teams this passed summer and igloo went undefeated at your battle on the bay this fall. Happy Thanksgiving

Classic cry babies. First time ever Igloo ever beat the Hawks which like the Express have holdbacks . This is a fact. So don't start crying about holdbacks when you have no clue . That excuse is for weak minded daddies that have to explain to johnny why he can't play. LI has maybe 2 teams that can roll with anyone. Be happy you have that. and stop trashing an entire state that has way more talent.
Is it Maryland or fairyland? I always get that mixed up!
No it is fantasy land were 9th graders can go back and play 7th grade all over again
On the morning of July 4th,Team Igloo Black Ice and Legacy Lacrosse, both from New [lacrosse], advanced to the Championship Game. The festivities opened with a ceremonial procession featuring all 24 teams. The Championship Game was broadcast live on ESPN2 and viewed by hundreds of thousands of fans.
Oh yeah, where was the Maryland U13 teams?
Playing in 2023 and 2022.

actually Green Turtle, Koopers, Lax Factory & Bethesda had teams there
Three of the final four were from Long Island. There were Maryland teams there and all of them did not do well against long Island and other states. Age verification precluded Maryland kids from playing for a May 1 cut off date. September 1 cut off will stop many more from Maryland from attending. Those who are too old will claim they did not want to pay to play the same teams they can always play close to home. That would be a fair argument but there is no reason to not go to the qualifier which is close to home and treat it like a tournament. The only explanation for not attending the qualifier is the kids were too old. We will see what happens this year. Hope to see everyone at least play in the qualifying tournaments so we could put to rest who the better teams are and who the older teams are.

Igloo has to do it all Spring and Summer before it starts bragging.
Express, Hawks and API had good battles last Spring and Summer (Express vs Hawks, 3 and 1) and Express vs API, 1 and 1, split wins).

If you know anything about lacrosse, you can't argue otherwise.
NLF is invite only pushing out the smaller clubs. They will not invite a good team if not part of NLF

I'm sure they are invited. How does igloo choose their tournaments? Seems like they mostly stay on the island so not sure why they wouldn't go to NLF.
Igloo not invited...self-proclaimed Sports Authority champions of the universe. Maybe Igloo can have another showcase that weekend and pay coaches to come watch their players again, giving their kids a second experience of a lifetime.

Igloo is not welcome. End of story
Igloo is not welcome because 90+1 and Express both veto them out of the events. The reason is two fold: 1) Igloo has really good teams and both NLF Clubs do not want to lose to them at their own tournaments. 2)Afraid that allowing Igloo to participate in NLF events will promote players to go to Igloo and grow that organization. Which is not something the two Long Island NLF clubs want. But NLF isn't fooling anyone, you don't have the very best teams in your events, sure you have some of them, but not all of them. This is because each NLF club gets to veto out one club they don't want to see at their events. For the crabs its the Hawks. For 90+1 and Express its Igloo. For Laxachuettes its Sweetlax or 3D. Bottom line is parents are starting to see through the mafia of the NLF. By not inviting the best teams regardless of where and who they are is a mistake. The NLF would do better financially and strategically by allowing the very best teams to compete. It will make the event better, and mean more. Also making the event a must attend unofficial national championship. It is that simple.

Agree with a lot that but lets be honest abut Igloo 2022. If they roll the table this year then they will be invited to all the top tournaments. They have greatly improved and are very good.
What will you be saying when they are invited to the NLF and any other top tournament. It looks like they are already committed to MIllon's 2022 Championship along with LI other top 3 or 4 clubs.

Also making the event a must attend unofficial national championship. It is that simple.
Wasn't Hawks at NLF on LI last summer?
[quote] Agree with a lot that but lets be honest abut Igloo 2022. If they roll the table this year then they will be invited to all the top tournaments. They have greatly improved and are very good. It looks like they are already committed to MIllon's 2022 Championship.
Bet the ranch that Igloo won't be rolling the table and that they won't be playing in the NLF either. Go to Vegas and put everything you got on it. And a reminder, Igloo got rolled-over at Millon's Elite Eight last year...flashback friday!

Igloo this fall is MUCH better than igloo this summer.
Gotta Say thats Orielly has done some job with that 2022 team. Played GC34 to 8-6 game and handled Lightening very easy. That team has improved so much.
Great stuff. Awesome to see the players developing. Hard work boys! Well done Coach
I'm sue u need a break. Igloo 10-0; two championships in the fall. Beat express twice, 9-1 super team. All comers. If I were u I wouldn't want to see them either.
How did the outlaws do at the mayflower today?
Or we can just kick your son's (not YOUR) team again.
How did the outlaws do at the mayflower today?
Tied Port

Incorrect. Port beat them
Lost to vikings/igloo by 1, beat express north and beat leh-g-c rebels.
Does it really matter. Tournament was garbage. Kids not into it. Teams were missing kids / juggling kids around. Next year keep it.

You're a loser and a sour sport. Some kids play on their town teams and on a club team. Nothing wrong with that. Enough with the excuse digs. And your stupid hyphenated team nicknames are even more embarrassing.
port won game vs outlaws by 1 ,should have been by a bunch more. port has few kids that play for igloo b team ,fl$ and express but always like to represent there town
They are playing with 2021 kids I hope so
which team plays with 2021 kids ?
They are playing with 2021 kids I hope so
What the heck are you saying???? STOP

Ha ha, outlaws parents saying they are an A team and can hang with anyone and then the lose to a town team, and then come on here and say that it was igloo or 2021, classic. Outlaws is a legit B team, maybe the top B team on LI.
Garden City beat Igloo last summer
So I would than have to believe you feel Igloo is a B team?

The igloo parents always thought that they were the best...just ask them. Now they want to show us how smart they are too.
Stat mom,ipad dad ,penguin ,sweet perm .Love the names

Yeah, lets name call and bully then pretend to be shocked when you raise little Johnny to follow in your footsteps.

Wrong. You use the verb that reflects the subject noun, not the adjective -- here it is "the real test . . . IS" not "the real test . . . ARE". Now go crawl back under your rock, Grammar Police.

And the constant bashing. It's really gotten out of hand. Everyone is so angry and hateful!
Because you have the vast majority of BOTC parents NEVER having played Lacrosse, in most cases the parents I have come across have played NO sports other than Little League baseball. But they are experts on all aspects lacrosse and youth sports. That's why they bash, they don't know. Sad
Yeah, not really. Outlaws is a B+ team. No kid from smash, United, express, igloo or any other A team, town or travel, would leave to go to Outlaws. Unfortunately for the B+ teams, the A teams will get stronger this year and there will be more separation between A and not A but outlaws should dominate the B bracket.
So no one should go to the Outlaws according to you.
What exactly is a B+ team? You have no clue when talking about A teams or B teams. Its very simple. If a team competes in the top bracket at
ALL tournaments they are an A team.
Good or Bad. Last summer they competed against every top team. They ducked no one. According to you there are Three A teams.
Teams that go into the lower divisions Like United, Ducks, Hitmen, Empire to name a few are B teams. If the Outlaws start competing in the lower divisions I would agree but we all know that is not the case. You sound like a disgruntled individual who didn't make it.
The Outlaws have picked up a few new players and have received a lot of inquiries about available spots. Let's see what happens.

Why do players keep leaving the Outlaws every year?
Who left? No one. Any turnover that was done to improve the team.
Hate to break it to you pal-players leave every organization every year. Kids leave outlaws, yes. 91 super team all ready lost 3 kids this fall. Express lost some this year too. Stop thinking this only happens to the outlaws.
Tons of kids left Outlaws this year. The Middie and Attackman to name two.
The attackman got cut. Not sure what mid you're referring to. Hardly tons. You're reaching. They added less than 5 new players out of 23. Seems like not a lot of turnover.
Attackman did not get cut, that is a complete lie!!
Ok parents. Enough. It's 8pm. Go hug your 12 yr old boy.
Attackman did not get cut, that is a complete lie!!
No your right he wasn't cut, he didn't come back because he was offered a spot on the 2nd team and the parents didn't want to take that spot. So they went elsewhere.
A middie left the team because he wasn't getting any playing time. Same as every team with a guy on the bottom of the totem pole.
Nope not the case! That's a bald faced lie
Nope not the case! That's a bald faced lie
Just curious, not involved but seems like you know something or have direct knowledge. Why don't you just tell us what really happened? Sounds like your kid left the team but could be wrong.
2022 Outlaws had two kids that shoot laser beams. They are big and I saw some rockets come from them

Too many kids to look at at once and combining 7th and 8th grade is just silly. U had 7th graders who are no where near puberty, going against "8" th graders who have. Got the sense the teams were already picked by the time they got started.

That is the same BS as last year. As usual it was a complete waste of money.
No1, their warner that many small kids their, no 2, the ones that were their had superior stick skills, your kid must have not performed well, and what's with all the travel kids dusting off and we're in their old school helmets? Are they supposed to be undercover?

It is a 7th and 8th grade team, so they will do one combined to see if the 7th graders can keep up with the 9th grade boys. It was just like any other tryout. Some boys stood out, others blended in. The ones who stood out will probably be picked.

I think this will be the true measure on the best rising 8th grade team. The timing of it being the end of the season and the location will hopefully mean all the best clubs go. The Elite 8 last June was best youth tourney (from a competitive stamdpoint) I have been to. Lotsa 1 goal games, overtime, etc. It was a tourney where the winner could have also been 0-3 any other given day. That's how tight things were.
My club just informed me that my child has officially become a 2022. Interesting since he has played 2021 up until this year and the farce of the age group has led our club to move them. I guess if you aren't cheating, you aint trying. Look out people our team will be big and nasty. To unrestricted age guidelines and stupidity for not enforcing it.

This isn't really hard math: in Maryland, if your kid is currently in 7th grade, he will graduate in 2023, not 2022, because he will repeat 8th grade! Not much for subtle sarcasm are you?? Unfortunately, the sarcasm reflects the truth in MD more than not! Don't feel too bad, though - PA is giving you a run for your money in this holdback game!

This is classic whining from parent who feels his child is being slighted in some way. To say an entire state of young men that play lacrosse are cheaters and will be held back says a lot about you , and believe me , we won't attach an entire region to your comment . Lets also not pretend that LI does not have hold backs or age discrepancies on their teams.(especially in high school ) The amount of parents holding their child back is a very very small percentage of the thousands of kids playing youth lacrosse in the state of MD. It is really not hard math at all. Fortunately the sarcasm from your statement reflects your stupidity and ignorance to young men in an entire state . Thanks for reminding us all how sad some parents are .
You keep telling yourself that - you might even start to believe it . . .

FOR THE LAST TIME...it's age based. Grade does not matter.

Express has a player that goes to school in Texas.
9d1 "AA" Cold Spring kids leaving for the Channy Train? Kids have already changed their bios on Instagram according to the Express players.
In Club lacrosse it is perfectly ok to have players from other towns,cities and even states. Unless a tournament specifically states that it is not allowed. WSYL is the only one that has restrictions. Not uncommon or even an issue for all clubs.
They've lost at least 4-5 kids this fall so far. Says a lot about how things are going over there. Channy train up to 34 players now. That's just as crazy. Couldn't crack the 91aa lineup but they think they are going to get playing time on a better team with a coach that plays 13 kids.
They''all get a shot, but if they don't produce immediately then they will move down the bench. And do the math, not enough playing time to go around.

Why? Sounds like little Johnny is losing playing time.
Are the NY teams going to the WSYL taking there 2022 teams, mix of 22/23 or having there 23 teams play up?

Nope, I am not a hopper. I think it creates a bad environment. But the parents and some coaches just continue on. Why the current parents who see the adds don't complain is beyond me. So like I say every one has a choice. Just wouldn't be my choice to have my kid be the 7th or 8th attackmen, 10th or 11th middie or 3rd goalie. Btw, going to the extra clinics doesn't translate into extra playing time. You as the client should be asking the coach how the heck he is going manage playing time? It's not HS yet.
Maybe that's why people hop, bc these program directors treat their kids lousy. The kid shouldn't be sentenced to be stuck with that team.
That is a good point. Basically, 7 TH grade players vary in physical development and makes it difficult to project future success so loading up players that are more developed is what clubs do to gain an edge. Simply put Clubs are businesses and must put a competitive product on field no matter the cost. So players pay the price and sometimes very athletic players my be cut because a club feels pressure to win now and sacrifices developing that child. However there is a silver lining for some meaning speedy , athletic multi-sport players will always rise above this lunacy of club lacrosse. Just keep them loving the sport no matter what there skill level and it will build character.
Curious whether your club coaches issue any type of position statement on playing time. If you care to share, I'd like to see what they are saying.
Maybe that's why people hop, bc these program directors treat their kids lousy. The kid shouldn't be sentenced to be stuck with that team.
Your kid tries out for a team and makes it and takes a potential spot from someone else and because someone (I am assuming in most cases it is the parent) isn't happy it's okay to leave the team and join another? They should have to stick it out and change teams after summer tournaments are over. Better yet, shame on the team that just keeps taking kids. I would never want to have anything to do with any organization that just keeps stacking the roster. Embarrassing
Produce and you play. If not they will recruit many other guys to take your spot. Tough lesson for late developing 12 year olds.

Yes it is a tough lesson , but with boys it always comes back around in High School. Hope this boys can stay passionate about the sport until then,

Produce amd play, yes. I agree, but this is about kids and families committing time and money only to have their kid moved down the bench because the team adds, that's the issue we are discussimg. Does anybody think a roster of more than 6 attack, 8-9 middies/lsm, 6 poles and 2 goalies can work from top to bottom? I don't see how, but I am interested in hearing of how others think it can.
It does not work, but these clubs are a business. These club owners will gladly take your money, (which u are giving freely ), and put up with a little bitching from the parents when their kids aren't playing. Buyer beware. At some point parents have to wisen up and move their kid to a team where their kid will play. Time to put egos away Mom and Dad and do what's best for your child. Your child's wont get better sitting on the bench.
I don't think it is right to add kids once the team has been established after cuts. But you have to do what is best for your kid. If getting limited playing time on an elite team, move down a notch to the next most competitive team. If the kid is really good, but on an incredibly stacked team he will ultimately fare better by playing against the elite teams and enhance his chances of being noticed. Worked for my son! He was a starter on an elite team at U13, but did not make their U15 team (influx of new kids and holdbacks). Made an equally elite U15 team, but limited playing time (holdbacks). Following season he jumped to a lesser, but still a highly competitive team and committed as a sophomore.

Here comes the Outlaws basher. You sound pathetic. Time to get a life man.
Problem here is that the Outlaws 2022 have like 4 or 5 of their best kids that will be 13 by the time this tournament comes around. Isn't that against the rules??

1st day of winter, does anyone have a fall wrap up for LI teams?
No one cares Penguin. Go back in your Igloo. It's 12 year old fall lax

You must be a disgruntled Super flop parent. Not such a Merry Christmas for you 😢
1st day of winter, does anyone have a fall wrap up for LI teams?
I'll play along for conversation. Igloo had the most success this fall, Express still loaded with talent and played well, still roster is way to big, Smunited still needs to gel, but they are well coached and will be fine, Rebels were a nice surprise as that team improved greatly, Outlaws Lotsa of talent and can compete with anyone on the right day or not That's my opinion, please get the wise cracks in early.
Hey SUPER TEAM Dad ...Jealousy will get you nowhere.....
1 Igloo

Did outlaws win a game? And who are the rebels?????
Rebels are zummnuts. Who outlaws beat 2 out of 3 times they played. But they have improved a lot. Played express tough twice. The real question is where does super team fall. Lots of defections. I'd go igloo, express, outlaws, zummnuts rebels then super team. Saw them all. Played them all.
Do the Rebels have a 2021 team
Any LI teams played against STEPS 2022? What was the result?
Steps is a very good program but the best LI teams will beat them by 6+.
Yes, except for STEPS lost to United 3-2 this summer and took the last 20 shots of the game and missed all of them.

They will be the 3rd ranked team at the end of the summer. They will not beat igloo or express. Everyone else they should defeat, starting with both 90+1 teams.
Both 90-1 team really
The second team is a C team at best.
The fist team is falling apart.
The Outlaws will beat Rebels
Leg a sea first rate talkers. 3rd rate program and YOU know it

They did not beat them in the fall. Have the putlaws improved since the fall?
Outlaws beat the rebels 2 out of 3 times THIS fall.

Beat them every time and you can talk about them. Beating them sometimes doesn't give you that privilege.
I wasn't asking for your permission to talk about them [lacrosse]hole. Someone said outlaws didn't beat rebels this fall. That was wrong. They beat them twice. And by the way 2 out of 3 is most of the time.

Pathetic they play down w 2023 in Tampa. Dukes are embarrassing to the sport
Who is this penguin guy he is pretty popular?
Dukes has a u13 team playing. Hopefully playing age appropriate
In the youth divisions (15U, 13U, 11U), the age cutoffs are as follows:
11U: all players must have been born on or after 6/1/2004
13U: all players must have been born between 6/1/2002 and 9/30/2004
15U: all players must have been born between 6/1/2000 and 9/30/2002

you're pathetic

You do know that the tournament in tampa goes by last spring/summer age groups? Meaning a 2023 team (if they also meet age guidelines) is appropriately in U11

They know why but will never admit it- no point in wasting your time trying to find out.
Here's a clue-fill in the blanks: DI_GRU_TL_D D_D
why so much hate for the dukes?
Their roster of paying kids is around 100 and they only use the kids above the travel line in actual games.
They also bump paying kids for non paying 'guest' players when they really want the W.
Every tournament seems to involve buying a New Jersey or helmet or some other pice of gear.
Did I miss anything?

Yea, you failed to mention that you don't have a clue what you're talking about, and that you're a scorned person. You are, or you wouldn't care so much about a team that your kid is not on.
He's always been a slime ball. Why would u expect that to change?
Well Dukes went 4-3 down at Dicks and lost to FCA. Maybe they should play even less kids.

Waa waa waa. You sound like a wash woman. Stop bi&#@ing and moaning and worrying about what the Dukes are doing. It's not like they came on here and said they were going to win the whole thing.

FCA and Dukes were the two youngest teams there. Don't think they were expecting to win. Both making the quarterfinals was a surprise. The age cutoff was 6/1/2002 and the other teams were all 2021 teams

Thanks for seting the record straight. So according to you, all kids paying can attend every tournament - none are turned away.
You are also say that they never ask kids not paying to play for them (or move a different clubs practice to be at the same location as a Dukes tournament to make it easy for non paying kids to play)?
They also just have 1 pinnie for the kids playing and not multiple pinnies, helmets, shirts: gloves etc throughout the year?

Your kid must be so proud of his daddy, acting like a complete as*hole. Bet you act the same way at his games when he gets very little, if any, playing time on a c division team.
Since you asked, no, he has never been cut and plays aa division and runs first midfield. Sorry your kid can't keep up.

If the Dukes were a 2022 team, then they had to be 90% holdbacks. They beat us 11-0. Not taking anything away from them, but, for the "true" 2022's, my guess is that they did not see the field during the games. Most of the team had different helmets and I guess that somewhat makes sense since they billed the team a the only true national team there. The Dukes lost to Team Carolina 2021 4-3 on the first day. But, those games were abbreviated 25 minutes. And, they Lost to the Tampa Tarpons 9-8.

You know express was #1 last summer. Igloo was #1 based on this past fall. We'll have to wait and see who is #1 this spring.
#1 based on what? Th isn't the NCAA bowl championship series. It's club lacrosse that you pay through the nose for. Give me a break, remember, there is no ranking for club, only High School then college. So really, it doesn't matter
No comparison, fall vs spring and summer.
The teams are great and equally matched and are the best. For me I am focused on my kid being happy and enjoying it (no not the dad of the kid who got cut from the A team) Having gone through this with an older boy, you want them enjoying it. My oldest is a Jr, you think he cares that Extreme was the #1 2018 team when he was in 7th grade and his team lost to them more than once. No... he doesn't even think about it. I hope he just has good memories of youth sports and all those mornings, nights, and weekends we spent focused on lax he grows to appriciate it. Thankfully he still loves the game and will play on the next level.

#1 based on what? Th isn't the NCAA bowl championship series. It's club lacrosse that you pay through the nose for. Give me a break, remember, there is no ranking for club, only High School then college. So really, it doesn't matter
Based on performance at A level tournaments against top competition.
Express beat the top teams all summer and igloo beat them all this fall. Pretty easy to make the call.
Is every tournament an invite ? So you can be signed up and not play many tournaments
Anyone playing any indoor tournaments next few months
How did igloo and express go this fall ? Did they play

I hat that you call him this!!!but...SPOT ON!🤣
Igloo beat them easily in blatant finals. Score was 8-5. Express scored 2 late goals to make it close. If express doesn't win faceoffs (and they didn't) they are not much better than most of these top teams if at all. And the faceoff aspect has caught up to them big time.

Great talent all the way around. All talent evened out. Easy win...no way...as evidenced by the penguin and the other crazies losing their minds on the sidelines. Relax and let the rest of the year play out. Igloo was an afterthought before they got the 9-1 refugees.
Only 2 kids came over from 9-1
Should be a great year.
relax! remember igloo went 0 & 3 to start the spring at elite 8 last year and lost to a town team over the summer at nxt. show some humility & ease up

Very true. Lots of unhappy Duke academy kids.

Thanks for bringing back memories from last year. And this year they beat express twice and won two tournaments.
Igloo is a team that has a core of kids that have been playing together for 5 years .Its taken some time but these kids have developed into a team that has a well disciplined and patient offense and very good defense. They play together as a team ,they are well coached and no selfish play. That's why that this team will be very competitive this year. Igloo does not have to count on 2 or 3 boys to carry them in certain games all the boys contribute. Yes Fall ball doesn't mean much but kind of sets the tone for the spring season. With that being said good luck to all 2022 this season ton of talent in this group, and remember in a few years when some of these boys are going to the next level, no college is gonna care what club team u played for or how many tournys you win. In the long run Its all about your son getting better on the field and more importantly in the class room..
...and lots of happy hard working ones that love to play lacrosse #thanksDukes

Good points. We will see how igloo does
Agreed. Express parent here. I think KC needed a year of getting to know the boys. Combine a solid core team, quality new additions and the best club coach out there, they will be tough to beat this coming season. Other teams do tend to focus on 2/3 key players. KC has Igloo playing like a team. I believe they will have much success this spring/summer.

I tend to agree. When the talent between these teams becomes separated by coaching and Igloo, in my opinion, has the best coach. Express practice is a bunch of the same drills.

Fall Ball only doesn't mean much to those who lose. All games count and matter.
Same drills over and over gets redundant and they aren't "teaching" anything new..
so why do igloo players go to express clinics and showcases?
Same drills over and over gets redundant and they aren't "teaching" anything new..
No new secrets to teach. It's called hard work and repitiotion. The better kids and better teams are ones who do the boring drills over and over.
Because MC is the only one that has them. $50 a pop too. That guy is a genius.
Best kid on LI goes to whomever has a clinic when free repitions is key. Why do you hunk a player can't do a clinic from a rival. The parents are smart to diversify. Go to as many clinics as you can afford they do help. Pricey but help.
so why do igloo players go to express clinics and showcases?
Why do you care? Just mind your own freaking business. Everyone really needs to stop worrying about what everybody else's kid is doing
Now Igloo has the best player on Long Island? Please stop being ridiculous.
The point was against the stupid statement of "same drills" and "no teaching"
so why do igloo players go to express clinics and showcases?
Same reason express kids went to igloo prospect day for grade school kids. Crazy parents can't get enough!!! Need to spend the money!!
express did not go to igloo event
Express players did not go
Express players did not go
Yes they did. And Missing the point
so why do igloo players go to express clinics and showcases?
Same reason express kids went to igloo prospect day for grade school kids. Crazy parents can't get enough!!! Need to spend the money!!
Your logic is flawed - Igloo parents claimed elite 80 was the greatest experience known to mankind since humans landed on the moon.
Express players were not "approved" to go by AA.
Aa is starting to see the effects as his teams are growing older His club does not have access to featured summer events that are swarmed w coaches. HHH, NLF events Crabfeast. So it is shrinking the opportunity for his kids to be seen. This is why he is trying to create his own event. Which is smart if he can do it. It was my main concern keeping my son with his older igloo team. Time will tell
Express players were not "approved" to go by AA.
"Not Approved" Only MC can take your money ? That is some racquet. You are not allowed to send your kids to individual events??
MISINFORMED MY FRIEND YOU ARE MISINFORMED
MISINFORMED MY FRIEND YOU ARE MISINFORMED
Those are question marks. Inform me. That's what a poster said above who appeared to be a parent of a player.
Express has a tournament in Delaware that day
who cares about igloo aa or elite 80!
who cares about igloo aa or elite 80!
Igloo and all the coaches and players who went.
coaches were there for the money
coaches were there for the money
And MC goes to things because he likes spending times with your kids? Or you think maybe .....the money?
Can't wait until spring.
What tournament will these two powerhouses meet again?
Try to follow me here: club teams are for profit businesses, college coaches scouting at a program's showcase does not have to be for money, unless you are Igloo which needs all the help it can get trying to expose its players to the college coaches
Igloo will not have trouble getting players placed.
In due time.

That is very naïve if you think Igloo came up with the idea of paying coaches. They are paid at every event. It allows them to recruit and put a little money in the low paid assistant coaches pockets.

The only 2022 attackman on Petro'd radar plays for Express, not igloo
Don't be a fool. Let's not go there about the kids. And for your information Johns Hopkins is one of the top ranked schools.
Hopkins is #10 on US News & World Report

All you elite 80 dummies drinking the cool aid No 22's are being looked at There isn't even a 21 committed yet.
Let's not get crazy now ,express runs 99% of there offense thru there middies, that's about it.

So? The admissions standards for recruited lacrosse players at Hopkins are basically nonexistent. You can't compare Hopkins to even schools like Notre Dame or Duke, much less the Ivies or good NESCACs.
The above re: hopkins and recruited athletes is FACT.
Where are the Dukes out of? Where do they practice and are they a national team as the kids are stating? Just wondering as I have been hearing a lot about this team.
Where are the Dukes out of? Where do they practice and are they a national team as the kids are stating? Just wondering as I have been hearing a lot about this team.
The Dukes are out of Philly. They hold "minicamps" from NY to MD, which are glorified practices. They draw talent from all of the best clubs from NY to MD and the kids involved seem to enjoy it. Minicamps are like 60 bucks a pop on top of fees to be on the team. They are a National team, but who shows up on any given weekend depends on who is available because all these kids play on different teams. They also roster twice as many kids as a normal team and use a travel depth chart to determine who gets to suit up and who doesn't when they have more than enough. Depending on your perspective, it's either a money grab or a way to supplement your kid's playing experience, if he makes the travel cut. There is some daddy ball even in this.

Very true for non-lacrosse players trying to get in.
Many, many lacrosse players with less than stellar grades have gotten in to JHU.
Ivy leagues have much higher standards.

Yes you can compare the admissions standards of Hopkins to ND or Duke or NESCAC's, even the Ivies. It is not easy to gain acceptance to Hopkins. It is one of the top universities in the US and there is very little, if any, "bending the guidelines" for a lacrosse recruit. You either meet the standards or are not accepted.

They were going to let my son in with a 3.0 and 23 ACT. He is a standout lax player. He decided on a different school, but the offer was made.

Completely incorrect. Makes no difference who the coach is, the admission standards apply to all. There is a "little" wiggle room at Hopkins, but believe me, not much.

I'm very familiar with the process. My son was recruited and played at Hopkins and graduated in four years. He had the grades etc. but there were a few teammates who just barely met the requirements or were a few ticks below and this is where the "wiggle room" came into play for the coach. JHU only gives the lax coach 2, maybe 3 at most, for players in this category. Hopkins wants new admissions to have the requirements as they want and expect the student to be successful and to graduate with a degree. A few needed an extra semester but did graduate with their degree.

True, not just for my son, there are others on the roster with similar academics. Fact! My son would have gone, but we were concerned with the ability to maintain eligibility, plus the full tuition at his current school was hard to pass up! You can believe whatever you want, this is what happens when you are a top recruit, much is overlooked, with the exception of the Ivies.

Live from Dukes Nationals tryout / clinic.... boys on their 145th minute of the same 5 v 4 drill. Sitting here watching poor goalies get peppered. #wasteoftime
Dukes concept of National team is good. The execution is where it falls apart. You can NOT have a National team with Dad coaches.
Seriously? The coaching, execution, and enthusiasm doesn't get any better. They say its nor for every kid... I guess they should add its not for every parent.
#helicopterdad ... haha... yes sir, you should go draw up some sweet plays...
Yeah I hear ya, like when I took my son to the brine national tryouts and they were supposed to have their own coaches. 1, they had local coaches. 2, they combined 7th and 8th, and they did not say that in the E-mail. And 3, they took all the 8th graders, it seemed like the had the team picked in the first ten miniutes.

Who were the coaches?
2022 events are money grabs for this year.
Even the most ambitious coaches aren't going to verbally commit to a 2022 until summer of 2018.
The coaches were from different schools on the island, one of the kids father's that my son plays travel new them. It was well worth the money to me for the amount they played. But I know from the kids that tryout red out from our school to the kids from our travel club, they picked the biggest 8th grade kids.
If the teams are picked for the Brine National Teams, why are they doing a second tryout? Two teams and is it a waste to go back for the 2nd tryout if you didn't get a "no thank you" email?
I don't know what their thinking is? I also don't understand why kids were their from other states trying out if the team or teams, are going to represent longisland!
Last year several LI kids missed the LI tryout, so they went to the MD tryout and participated for Team MD.
Hello, money grab?
Wake up. 11am today, CHANGE happens
Maybe Trump can clean up youth lacrosse
The LI kids did not miss the LI tryout. They didn't make the team,so they played out of state.

My kid played for Long Island. I was there. You are wrong in your statement. Some of those kids were not able to go to the tryout. End of discussion.
I'm not talking about my kid, dude. I'm talking about other kids. So yes. Whatever I said. Is 150% true. It's sad that it makes you feel better to say bad things about other people's kids. Worry about your own kid.
THAT IS A MONEY GRAB. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE TIME AND THE MONEY IT IS FUN FOR THE BOYS. HOWEVER KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE THESE ARE 12 AND 13 YEAR OLDS

12 and 13 years olds?? It might be to late for many at this point! If you are not on a top team or have at least gone to 4-5 top future prospects camp, might be time to take up baseball.
It will be a good day when recruiting gets to 7th grade level. This 9th grade recruiting is for the birds!
Are you on drugs? Or did you just peak in the 6th grade?

Please, please, please tell me this post is sarcasm! (The sad part of it is that there are posts that that are this dumb on BOTC that are NOT sarcasm, so you really can't tell anymore!)
You can breath a sigh of relief, that is not an adult making those immature comments.

People, please don't tell me your kids come on here. Mine doesn't even know about this website
Anyone hear anything about 9d1 defections to express? that seems to be the word i am hearing. an attackman, two midfielders are the latest.
How many kids are on that team? seems like a lot.
It's not about how many. Peaple choose to put up with it to be on the team and won't confront the issue. That's their choice, not mine. I kinda like watching my kid play sports, not stand around.

Me too. They play a lot of different teams. I would see my kid actually play them rather them be on the team and watch. Only 10 players out at a time. What happens when your kid is the 40th player? You should leave and stop trying to be somewhere your clearly not wanted other than a pay check.

4 kids have left 91 for Express. Question is why are they leaving and why is express taking them?

Why would they go to Express?
I know when they get a new coach who brings kids there, they get a free club fee, but why the others?
The evil little guy pulling strings again? told you that 91 team would undergo major changes..

I think they are trying to set a record with the first 40 man travel roster. To each his own.
I do not get why someone would send their kid to a team with a roster of 40 kids. Just seems odd.
But wait, isn't 91 the greatest?? why would they possibly leave given that "fact".

Good Question
5th best team on LI after this summer
Do the math, even if each player was a double A player, there's not enough minutes in the game. Parents have to decide if they want their son on the bench of the greatest team, or playing and developing on a team that may not be the best.

91 went backwards with this years science experiment. Real shame!
One big issue in this as that there is no discount for being on the 2nd team and there is usually not equal treatment between the two. So people who don't who have A level kids yet, but want the practice and commitment of the top team will digest being on the top team and endure no playing time and dense rosters.
What is the purpose? To say your on a team and not play. To be on the team means playing on the team. If your on one of those teams and your child doesn't play that is pretty sad.
While game play is certainly an important aspect of player development, so is coaching, practice and training, team comradery and the overall experience. Hard work, determination, attitude are what will be a life skills and those that are committed to the game will improve and compete at the highest level, in club and in school ball. Additionally, high school and college lacrosse preperation and placement plays a big part of the process. Naturally, people should do what they feel is best for their child and what the kids enjoy doing.

Is there equal treatment between the starters and players 30-40 at practice? If so, no one is getting the reps they could otherwise get with a 21-24 kid roster? If not, why not play down or on a different team.
If I follow your logic about reps, how do the high school and college programs do it with even larger squads?
If I follow your logic about reps, how do the high school and college programs do it with even larger squads?
For starters, they practice every day and typically have a lot more field space, coaches, etc. To each his own, but I don't understand the value of being the 40th kid on a 40 kid roster. You can't tell me they are getting the same reps as the other kids even in practice. Man up/man down, have a seat. New offensive plays, give me first and second middies and starting attack....
High School and college teams have starters and scout team. There are your reps, get it done.
I do not get why someone would send their kid to a team with a roster of 40 kids. Just seems odd.
Is there really 40 kids or is this just an typical BOTC BS I heard there is 28. Saw them in the fall and the side line had a lot of players, didn't count by definitely not 40

Thanks professor
The 40 man roster comment was in the context of a joke. Who knows for sure and who cares, my kid is not on the team. But I don't understand why they just wouldn't form another team. It would have to be decent, not elite, but probably better than any B team. That's what makes no sense in my opinion.
They have a roster of at least 35, but sure there will be more additions in spring and summer.
Why isn't there a travel winter league that most of the teams play in. Maryland has one and it seems to help develop their teams. Or at least expose each teams true weakness so they know what needs work on as a "team" to get better. It seems like each club up here hides there teams till early spring. Why?
When is Long Island going to totally re haul their officials at the youth level? By far the worst in the north east. Before you lash at Maryland,I'm from Long Island. So much money in the sport at the AA level, bring in college or higher tier high school. Tired of some retired guy who never played the game looking to make a few bucks at the expense of the athletes who put a ton of time in to only have it thrown away for cheap officiating.

There is and it's 7v7 boring lax. Money better spent on practice. If it was a full 10v10 amd orginized with standings and playoffs, it would be more alluring, in my opinion. But indoor time is too valuable. However, the costs likely work better for outdoors. But like anything else, it has to be run properly like those Maryland leagues.

The answer is never, Officials cost money, and unless the parents are going to buck up some serious cash you are not getting a college official. They pay the officials $50-100 per game, a college official wants about 10X that. Who's paying that?

Maryland has a couple Box leagues for the 2022's (6 v 6) but nothing full field with 6x6 goals.
The Box games are great for the middies and attack, but I'm not sure the defense and goalies get much out of it (other than having fun).

Channy would have a hard time selling it with the "A", B team he sold parents! He would rather you pay for him for private lessons, move your son up, give him token minutes and continue to strike YOUR ego! Meanwhile your child and pockets are getting robbed!
Edge, so cal express, No greyhounds and palm beach revolution.
According to MD 2022 board, Millon added 4 more teams to his National Championship event.

Officials for all sports are lacking - it's not just lax, and it ain't happening without $$.
Yes--Edge, So cal express, NL greyhounds and Palm Beach revolution. That's 4 more teams!!
Yes..... that is just what the sport needs, more lax with more fees.
Its now Express Deez nuts... a few cancers jumped ship from deez nuts to infect express.

one has to really second guess that business move from 2 viable competitive teams to one Team trying to find itself.
Yes, true with probably over 20 previous players from those teams spread out making other organizations better.

Those are the things that keep you nuts coming back here. Can't be march 18, 2017 quick enough.
Heard that Outlaws are losing players and parents aren't happy having PB as a coach. A lot of kids not happy with the playing time kids have been getting last year and this year. Outlaws are a sinking ship!

Who did you hear that from? Sounds like an opinion, unless YOU are one of the disgruntled parents.
People have no clue. Lost two players in fall. Then picked up two more. One from express. Not sinking. And by the way, unless their kids are starters, all the parents are disgruntled about playing time on every team. Thats why kids the four kids left 91, with others begging express to take them too, that's why kids left express, that's why kids left outlaws, and so on and so on. That's the sad truth. Not everyone can start. Trust me it's the parents ego, not the kids.
So YOUR gonna tell me there is not trouble in paradise? You also know PB is not a good coach and most of the parents aren't happy with the way things are going.

You refer to trouble in paradise in 2022 lacrosse.
News flash every team has one of you. Disgruntled parent trying to stir the pot. Maybe you should just concentrate on getting your son training so maybe he can get to play on a team like 91, Express, igloo, outlaws, etc. Your method trying to bash a team and hope it miraculously generates a spot by players leaving won't work. Trust me, ANY of those teams will replace a player they would lose with someone who has better character than someone like you. Sure the kid is a spitting image of you. Good luck.
PB burnt his bridges and drove the club downhill. That's why the teams have had an exodus of kids.

Well if that were true they would have no teams and not be good at all. The fact is they have some average teams and some very good teams as they get older. It has always been that way with them. Now please go somewhere else and grind your Axe. I am sure parents on the team can see who is the guy with the agenda is. Not really that hard to figure out, especially when his own kid tries to start rumors to spread to other players. Its really sad.

Outlaws are far from "paradise"
You mean their is a problem with team sachem?

Exodus?? Wasn't this established in an earlier post. Exodus is the ninth studio album by Jamaican reggae recording band Bob Marley and the Wailers, first released 3 June 1977 though Island Records. Exodus is a reggae album, incorporating elements of blues, soul, British rock and funk. The album was a success both critically and commercially; receiving gold certifications in the US, UK and Canada, and was the album that propelled Marley to international stardom. "Jamming", "Waiting in Vain" and "One Love/People Get Ready" were all major international hits.In 1999, Time magazine named Exodus the best album of the 20th century
I really don't care if kids are leaving the Outlaws. I don't care kids are leaving Express or 91.
All that matters is the final score when these teams play.
Should be an interesting year with 9d1 experiment gone bad, Outlaws supposed burnout coach with everyone leaving, Express with a 40 person roster, Igloo self proclaiming they are the best team out there. TZ and the Legacy are going to be outside looking in. Just not enough talent. Let's see which team blows up first.
We will all find out soon enough. to be continued...

On LI, although teams come and go and things seem to be sped up, you can go back 5,6,7 years and you will hear close to the same things about this age 7th grade (or there abouts)..
Here is a snid bit of the current HS years around this age.
2017 - Turtles could be the best team ever but they wont last, are they an express or a stand alone team, 91's not bad but who is this True Blue team, Where are the Jesters / Outlaws
(at least they had the oyster bay league in the summer to settle things)
2018 - express or 91 Channy/Locasio which one do we go to how will the split effect the kids, families, What happened toJesters?
2019 - Orange vs White or Mule vs Schwalje. Who is DD. They will all stay away from each other. (what happend to oyster bay league)
2020 - Crush could be the best team ever. It wont last. More orange vs white talk, Who is Legacy, who cares its crush and no one else
history does have a habit of repeating itself (add Pride/Outlaws/Riptide/Gladiators etc - i know i missed a few defunct teams that should be mentioned).
Very few kids come out of no where, if so this is the last year of that, its not the 80's anymore. I have seen the top players really remain atop. But the the most important thing out of all of this is... is that the kids play, they play for fun and realize they play to win. They play for their team and know they are a part of something greater than themselves. But they themselves are important to any outcome. They learn sportsmanship (how to win and lose) celebrate the wins and deal with the loses. Sometimes those loses are far better games than the wins. Just get on the field, the rest works itself out.
Great book not in a literary sense but in the minds of your 7th grade lacrosse player. Called up: A lacrosse story. I know there is so much about early recruiting but let them escape to a time when a kids dream was playing up for your town HS, when that meant something (who cares if you not at a power house team).
Respect those that give it to you straight (sucks to hear) but its better than those that placate you and drag you on and on! Have a sense of reality every once in a while (while still letting your child dream big) you are the parent. No one can tell you want is best for your child, EVER!!!
and it isnt always about the final score!!!
(My opinion, I experienced this with 4 kds - 2 in college recruited as Jr./Sr, 1 Er and 1 waiting, hopefully by Jr year).
What are the odds that the NCAA rules against early recruiting and adopts the US Lacrosse proposal that limits contact until Jr year? I think it's 50/50. I, for one, like limiting coaches contact. I realize that the club coaches will probably still talk to college coaches. So, your club director would become the go between until Jr year. But, wouldn't limiting contact until Jr year make more sense? In the non-athletic world, kids don't visit college until their Jr. year.
It is up to the NCAA to make the call. I know they don't want to have the responsibility of enforcement. Lacrosse is not a revenue baring sport.
I am not sure what any of that means??? Outlaws are alive and well and competitive at every age. 2018 may be last Jester team standing, but very good team still out there!
Love the excerpt about who is True Blue. Hey, they are a low to mid B team despite what the parents claim. A few good players but not in the same caliber slate as Igloo, Outlaws, Express, 91, Legacy, or even the Hitmen which by the way, may be the long shot to watch in the B Division. Just my opinion. Ok let the rant begin.

Don't pay any attention. Just a rant of an all knowing wanna be parent that never was. Cleary the guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Around ? They are going to college.
For the Record Outlaws 2022 Has not lost any kids since fall
Then it was a Unhappy Face off kid- Unhappy cause he was #2 and a Small middy with Complaining Parents- I would Say addition by subtraction

Well we're gone now and happy. Couldn't stand the team parents and owner was a [lacrosse].
Maybe the reason why he was second was because he was small! My son is small and for the last 7plus years he's been playing all I've heard was in lacrosse size doesn't matter. Now with all the 2022 teams gearing up for Denver, I noticed at tryouts they all took the biggest kids not the best. Even on our team we picked up som great players that are small because they got bumped off their clubs A team because of their size! Great for us!.

You are delusional! I am currently a parent on the 2022 team and it is pure [lacrosse]. I am unfortunately stuck here since i'm paid in full. The egos on this team are crazy, from the team "MOM" to the owner who is too cheap to hire a real coach! I will say it was never this bad in years past but now it's getting too much to handle.

So are you saying not one LI team has a holdback on it?

New Outlaws Skull and Cross bones car magnets now available. Don't be caught at the beach or strip mall without them! And new to the store -stick on skull and crossbones tattoos for the couple of moms that don't already have a real one on the small of their backs next to the pineapple or on their shoulders or breast. Love the Outlaw lifestyle, not worried about the lax--more solo cups, keep us all smilin!
Somebody's grasping at anything to get at the outlaws. Pretty sad scand, pretty sad.

That's the same on all Outlaw teams... A lot of the kids on "A" do not belong on "A". He who kisses PB's butt or cries gets to be on "A". The good players keep leaving. The better clubs don't have that bs, and the tryouts weed the kids out.
were can u find the updated teams going to 2022 championships in july?
Call Millon , but really in the big picture why?
I am not sure what any of that means??? Outlaws are alive and well and competitive at every age. 2018 may be last Jester team standing, but very good team still out there!
Don't pay any attention. Just a rant of an all knowing wanna be parent that never was. Cleary the guy has no idea what he's talking about.
You are delusional! I am currently a parent on the 2022 team and it is pure [lacrosse]. I am unfortunately stuck here since i'm paid in full. The egos on this team are crazy, from the team "MOM" to the owner who is too cheap to hire a real coach! I will say it was never this bad in years past but now it's getting too much to handle.
i hope and pray this is a kid posting and not an adult. You are an embarrassment. Time to grow up and show your kid the right way to behave. You sound like one of the Snowflakes still upset with the election results
What a loser to come on here anonymous and bash your kids team. Talk to PB and get it straightened out you sound like a great part of organization and a real pleasure to be on the road with.
Somebody's grasping at anything to get at the outlaws. Pretty sad scand, pretty sad.
Wow what a [lacrosse]! If it was that bad why did you tryout? Makes no sense to me, go play for another team I heard your looking anyway!
Can we please stop talking about the Outlaws!!

And Yes the days of a travel team operating out of a garage are clearly over. I'm sure they helped launch the travel Lax scene years back but they are CLEARLY finished.

I am a parent on the 2022 team as well. Instead of bashing your kids team on here under an anonymous account why don't you just approach PB and get your money back ? If your kid is good enough to be on this team he will not have a hard time finding another team, you will be gone and you can be happy. PB is very approachable makes himself available to kids and the parents. I spoke to him on more than one occasion and he responded with his honest opinion. I didn't necessarily agree but nonetheless he is a stand up guy. Nobody wants a sour parent around trying to spread this type of negativity. If PB don't give your money back let it be known on the sideline and the team will.

So being the fact that PB will NEVER give anyone there money back, you are telling me that you will take up a collection and get me my 2500 back? We all know most of the parents on the sideline had a hard enough time coming up the money in the first place there is no way I'm getting my money back. I will just stay and hope things get better even though after being here for a few seasons I know it won't.
Does legASSy get auto invite for WSYL based on win last year or do they have to qualify ?

So you were there for a few years and went back and still not happy. Should not have gone back if you didn't like it. Your fault. Should have found another club. Stop bitching already.

First of all who ever this is full of $hit. You wont pay me back and I can't believe your happy with the Outlaws. The coaching is mediocre at best and like I said you get to play according to how much you kiss PB's A$$. All you parents are back stabbers and liars who talk behind each others back on a constant basis! I thought this was my last stop I guess not.

Your last stop? What is this a merry go round? Outlaws have some amazing talent at 2022 and you son is lucky to be on the team(if he still is). Try and spread all this BS but in the end it doesn't matter. Its this simple if your kid is good he will play and that goes for ANY team. Tired of hearing the EXCUSES about PB as a coach. He was there from the beginning of he season. Here is the problem, YOUR KID isn't good enough. HE WOULD PLAY A LOT IF HE WAS. Never heard of PB sitting his best players because of politics. Its a joke and so are you. Whoever you are you should just leave now and be a cancer elsewhere.

PB is too busy getting his [lacrosse]kissed. LOL. Tell that crazy parent PUCKER UP!!! Idiot.
Person saying all this is already gone. pretty easy to figure out nobody could be this miserable and still on team/ now that would be a true idiot. outlaws did not drop out of national champ. go away it's getting rather boring
Outlaws did not back out.

They are listed in the Inside Lacrosse post from yesterday.
Is it me but when did the Outlaws become the lightning rod of 2022 lacrosse when you have 40 express players, 9d1 experiment, igloo retooling,TZ and leg-acy trying top be an elite team and the rest of these teams trying to say they are A division teams.
The definition of an A team is a team that goes to all tournaments and enters the A division with the intent to play any club. If you enter into a B division at ANY tournament you are a B team. That would include the empire's, hitmen, legacy, ducks, bluefish, recon, etc. Don't tell me your an A team when you don't play in the A division of tournaments.
Outlaws has a dad should go to another team and move on. We are tired of PB references and how awful it is there. Everyone can say the same crap. There are plenty of teams if you swallow your pride.May be the right thing for your kid.
Express needs to cut players or the last 15 players should be looking elsewhere. having a roster at 40 is ridiculous when the average game is 40 minutes.
Anyone see 9d1 lately?

Your and idiot ! PB told the team they are NOT doing it!
You are wrong . They are doing the 2022 national championship down in MD. I guess you didn't book your hotel yet. GOOD. please dont. Nobody wants you there anyway. You can't be a parent on this team,and not know that. Must be scan.
During the player waiver/registration process, LI Outlaws appears as one of the team selection options. Looks like they paid their fee and will be attending.
Why are we even entertaining the idiot bashing the Outlaws. Like it has been said if your that miserable and stay you need to seek help. The Outlaws are a good team but not even in the top 5 on Long Island so why are we talking about them?

That is correct. Anyone on the outlaws has already booked their room and completed registration. Everyone is ready to go except the alleged parent! Won't miss your a$$.
That is a very simple person or maybe a child.

So says you. Maybe not as simple as you may think. Obviously you are not going to Denver which was the original plan.

With the weak small Middies that this team has you will miss anyone with any kind of size! This is exactly why you can't beat the better teams, your team is all small kids!!!
Unanimous team decision not to go to Denver. If you were part of the team you would have been aware of that. It is now obvious who this hater is.
Now we know you are foolish. Hysterical.

You really have no clue what you are talking about. Don't know where you have been but the small kids got cut. Midfielders are good. Team is much improved from last year. All I can say is we will see what happens. Stop quacking and go back to the ducks where you and your kid belong. B parent

Who are the top five?
I think we all know the top teams by this point.
Okay I'll do it again, because it's usually leads to some fun if we keep lighthearted. I have absolutely zero professional credentails to make this list... Just saw some good lacrosse from these boys and read every ranking thread here...
The Rebellion crew
Smunited
Icebox
Josie Wales
And that team with the small roster...
1 igloo
2 express
3 outlaws
4 le-g-c
5 91
Until 91 gets their act straightened out that's where they are after the fall. Watched them all this fall.
I don't see 9d1 losing to Outlaws or leg a see no matter what's going on over there
The anti-Outlaw troll is back
Why not ? 9d1 barely beat Igloo Aspen 6-5 in the fall, and that was before the mass exit of players.
Every team has off days..look at Igloo vs GC last season. Not a knock on Outlaws at all...good team just wouldn't put them over 9d1 that's all. They had some exits but still have plenty of kids to draw from...just an observation .
Igloo and express probably have most of top players in the age group on their teams it's hard to beat teams with that much talent and coaching. I don't see to many teams beating them

That is a fair point. But 9d1 and Outlaws are the next two no matter how you figure it. Then its everyone else. Don't try and be a troll and say it isn't. Leg isn't there. Come April 8, 2017 when they try to go to wsyl and get smoked by the other teams reality will set in how far away they are. Not hating on Leg but just being honest.
Since team LI jump ship and is now Empire A, they could be contender?

Sorry - I had to jump in here.. I never post - but I read this and its obvious this person has no clue who is on the Outlaws. The 2022 Select team has some of the biggest middies for the age group. There is also a lot of size in all the positions - so again - know before you speak.
Since team LI jump ship and is now Empire A, they could be contender?
They will be solid but their two best players that scored all of their points did not follow them over to Empire.
So they will do like last year, say their a A team and play in the B Division!

Seems he's anti all teams that his kid doesn't play for
Igloo,express, 9d1,Outlaws and Igloo B
Dude, go back to the Ducks and don't worry about the Outlaws, we don't want you back!
Express,Igloo, 9d1,Ducks,Igloo
Dude, go back to the Ducks and don't worry about the Outlaws, we don't want you back!
Who plays for the Ducks? My kid does not.
Who cares what team your kid plays for? As long as both the parent and kid are happy! At this age coaching is the most important thing, not winning or losing . Who cares if you go to Denver or Maryland to play for a championship that neither one of you will remember about in 5 years! Parents need to stop living through your children to make up what you were not able to accomplish as a young player.The amount of money we all play these travel programs for 10 years could pay for college and not need to worry about a stupid lacrosse scholarship! GET OVER YOURSELVES !

Amen.
Igloo B is just that. a B program with a few A players. And have never seen the Ducks at an A tournament.
I agree with most of the rant other than the Denver part. People can say what they want about it being a "B" tournament and it's a money grab etc etc. Most of the folks that say that have kids on teams that don't have a chance to win...and that's ok. And normal travel tournaments don't matter. Denver is different because the only reason to do it is for the chance to play on ESPN. It's about the experience and I challenge you to find a kid that's played in it and made it to the final that doesn't remember it.
Igloo B may be the B team in the organization but they are still top 5 on Long Island which is what the original poster asked..top 5
They are not top 5. They are a good team but not top 5.
Express igloo 91 outlaws and rebels are top 5 in no particular order. Igloo B has never beat any of those teams. Well coached but not there yet. But unlike the empires and the ducks and the old team like, igloo B plays all the top teams. Don't duck anyone. Play in AA brackets.
Are the Ducks a out east team?
I have never heard of this team.
Where they around last year?
Have they every even played any
of the top teams in this age group?
Igloo,express,9ty1,Outlaws,Igloo B

Ducks are a 91/DSM off shoot...similar to Empire, Jesters, Beach Bums.
Around last year, but don't think for all age groups. I've seen them entered into some tourneys, primarily MLT tournaments. Couldn't speak to the level of talent, but I'd have to believe they have some strong pieces just like any of the teams around here.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.....
Bunch of Scrimmages this weekend; legacee and Express down in MD, 9D1 on Li against some CT Teams. It would be nice to hear how the teams do without all the hostility.

Simple
Express EatsLegacy
CT Eats 9D1 Experiment
So much for no hostility.........Express and Legacy will not be playing each other. Good luck to 9D1 vs Ct, hopefully 9D1 is coming along better than the fall. I'd much rather see 9D1 in Md this weekend. I don't think playing against a Ct team will be a true test for them to determine where they stand.
igloo players are still hibernating
Why is Express playing Legacy in MD? What a waste of money.
No they're getting killed in philly
Express 0-2 at Mesa playday so far losing to laxachussetts and mesa.
Express Channy 2-1
9-3 win over Mesa
9-8 loss to Laxacussets
9-6 win over Bbl
according to tourney machine
How'd our LI boys do down in MD?
Missing star middie and attackman.
win and lose as a team. will be a long journey and lots of fun
which Ct teams scrimmaged with 9D1 and how did they do?
which Ct teams scrimmaged with 9D1 and how did they do?
It was the CT Chargers. 91A played the 91AA first. Both teams looked rusty as expected considering it started at 9 AM on a very cold & rainy morning. 91 A then played the chargers very close game with the chargers beating them by 2. Quality definitely got better than the first game. AA then played the Chargers and beat them by 10 or more. They looked good. Much better then the fall.
This guy is just spreading misinformation. Why do you both to get on here and spread wrong info? 9D1 AA team decisively beat the CT team by almost double digits. 9D1 A team lost by 2 goals. CT team did not bring their goalie and used the 9D1 goalie for both games who had a ton of saves. The 9D1 goalie is extremely good. It was about the kids, not about who won or lost. Everyone played a lot and had fun. 9D1 reached out to the teams who are playing in WSYL next week to scrimmage, but no one wanted to come out. Cheers to the CT team who came out to play.
Lets not talk about misinformation. I was at the scrimmage yesterday and 91AA beat Superstars 4-2, which is far from "almost double digits" Superstars did have their goalie at the scrimmage, but he was out injured. The 91 goalies played well. Also, not sure why the 91 parents catch such a bad rap, they were very gracious in hosting us. Best of luck next weekend and stay healthy.
So the Express Train and its 40 person cargo can not win without 1 middie and 1 attackman?
The bad parents left 91 at the end of last year, that is why. Should be better going forward.
Igloo was the only team that brought-down a half a dozen 8th-graders for WSYL. The world was terrible when Legacy did it to them last year and now AA has subscribed to the same practice.

Are you serious? Obviously the organization does not want to partake.

As an Outlaw parent told me, they are ok not doing the WSYL and pay $6,000.00 a family to play teams from Long Island. They will just do the 2022 National Championship and the NCAA Futures Tournament instead.

Sanity from a Long Island team? Unheard of.
There must be a formula that correlates your chance of winning this tournament to how expensive it will be. The less of a chance you have ,the more expensive you make it so you feel better about not going to it.
Do the math. Traveling on the 4th of July week. Hotel during 4th of July week. I would guess that's around $3500 all ready. Before you get to denver. That's just for 1 kid and 1 parent. To each his own...but to me it's not worth it. To some it's no problem. I don't bash either way. But I'm glad my team is not going. Wether they could win or not. I pay too much for travel lax to begin with. Don't want to double the price for 1 tournament.

I'm sure there is a formula that makes sense. If you bring hold backs, 8th graders like the penguin and disrupt your team to win at all cost it could be done. Is that worth it at 12-13 year old? No it's not.

Double? Triple or quadruple is more like it and the reason WSYL is bashed is because the only real competition will be the teams you just played in the NE qualifier because MD and Philly teams are not participating.
don't be so arrogant. diamondbacks team is equally as strong. top teams from california, colorado, texas and southeast region will be competitive too.
don't be so arrogant. diamondbacks team is equally as strong. top teams from california, colorado, texas and southeast region will be competitive too.
No team (including Diamondbacks) will come within 5 goals of the top 3 Long Island teams.
good luck to all teams going to Denver, gonna be a great experience for the boys . millon tourney gonna be fun

No team (including Diamondbacks) will come within 5 goals of the top 3 Long Island teams.
Saw LI Express Channy (if they are one of the top 3 LI teams) play close matches in a March scrimmage against clubs with 3 or fewer practices under their belt. One of those clubs beat them.
Good luck with the 91 castoffs... Channy, the NEW greatest thing now... They'll implode that too.

Last year even with a 5/1 cutoff, the Maryland "2021" teams could not compete with LI in the WSYL. This year with the 9/1 cutoff Maryland teams will be at even more disadvantage because many of their 2022 players are too old. This is apparent when looking at what teams are participating in the qualifier, or rather what teams are not competing. Actually very funny. My 2021 son just missed making the cutoff this year, and even after going last year we would have gone back because it was such a positive experience. Congrats to all the teams going. Expensive trip, but well worth it for your boys. You will not be disappointed. Anyone who says it is a worthless tournament probably has a 2022 that should be a 2021. Every single player and family from our team had an awesome trip. Enjoy!

Everyone I have talked to said it was one of the best lacrosse experiences they've ever had. My 2021 did not go but I am hoping my 2023 will be able to experience it next year. And I completely agree with your opinion about why certain teams are not going. They like to make it seem like they're not interested but we all know what that means... to old. I hope that those of us with kids not manipulating the school system will continue to support it.

My son's MD 2022 team decided not to go after informally polling the kids. We do have 3-4 players who didn't make the age cutoff. That is the reason we aren't going. The kids decided they didn't want to leave the older kids behind and the parents and coaches respected that decision. It's unfortunate because it seems like a nice event, but we are moving on and will tune in just the same.

Seems like a decent decision by your players. Good luck this season.
There must be a formula that correlates your chance of winning this tournament to how expensive it will be. The less of a chance you have ,the more expensive you make it so you feel better about not going to it.
I'm sure there is a formula that makes sense. If you bring hold backs, 8th graders like the penguin and disrupt your team to win at all cost it could be done. Is that worth it at 12-13 year old? No it's not.
why are you so concerned
Has anyone ever done the worriors tryouts that's happening tomorrow? Is it like brine?

I'm guessing that my son would have voted the same way... it would be very hard to vote against the best players that are on your team. Not to sure he wouldn't have wanted to go in his heart of hearts though.
How many kids tried out for Warrior today?
80 or so. High talent level.
80 or so. High talent level.
I listened to the speech from the coaches to parents at the end about some players submitting tape that couldn't make it. Total BS. Did anyone see something about players sending in video to make the team? Didn't think so.
This is another 9d1 crap, Not a fair
Syosset Shootout crappy hosts
Yeah that was a load of crap. So they covered their [lacrosse] when they put kids on that team who never tried out. It will be a 91-Express team with maybe one Outlaw peppered in.
80 or so. High talent level.

Channy is the 2022 coach - this is so he can put his boys who were away for Spring Break (or playing the Syosset Shootout) on the squad.

Agreed...couldnt help walking away believing the team was picked before the kids got there. Basically did line drills and shooting drills for an hour and then scrimmaged. No 1 on 1 's...nobody looking to match kids against each other .Midfielders in the last group got 1 shift each.Then you throw in the video stuff..yeah ok.Just say that we already told kids that aren't here that they are on the team

It's the worst run event that I have ever seen. They really pulled a fast one. Next time don't bother.
I thought I saw a 91 kid from crush, why would he be with 2022 kids?
Are you talking about the tourne or the tryout?
said. This is why so many other teams are popping up. The bs that is out there with big organizations is said. Oh well hope we all Learned A good lesson.
Brine one is the same way! They already picked the teams prior. It's all BS!
Too many kids on each field that' was the problem. Made it tough

If Channy is involved, the boys not playing for Express won't get a fair look. It's a real shame He shouldn't be allowed at the tryouts. Saw it last year with the Brine event as well. That was not the best LI based team in VA last July. It was obvious that some boys who don't play for him should have been there and weren't because they don't line his orange and black pockets. But it does teach the boys early on that it's more important who you know and not what you know.
Hate to admit it but the best players are on three teams so good chance a majority of the selections would come from those teams. If your not on one of those teams you had to know the chances were remote

That's not true. If you took the best players from some of the other teams in this age group they would give the big three a good game. There are plenty of very good players out there on other teams that chose to not play for the big three by choice. Look at what they are doing in Three Village, Northport and GC for example. Playing for their town year round is more important to them than playing for an outside club. Also, now with the new recruiting restrictions being put in place the high school coaches will once again play a more important role in this process.

That may or may not be true, but if someone makes the team who wasn't at tryouts then the whole thing is a sham.
Actually it's the opposite these new rules give unfortunately more power to the clubs as power brokers.

Agree 100% and spoke with one of the coaches who said he refuses to watch any videos of kids weren't there then no good
I 100000% disagree. Clubs will so much more important now.
I 100000% disagree. Clubs will so much more important now.
It really depends on what town you live in and the strength/history of your high school program.
This will become like basketball. If you're not playing for one of the power brokers it's hard to get a look. Like basketball you will also see kids moving across the country to play on loaded teams that attend all the right events and get the looks.
Everybody can speculate all you want but if your kid is really good they will find him!
True. But the clubs will pivot and will continue to be the intermediary. Nothing I read said anything about club comtact. If I missed that please post it. Because that would change my opinion.
Clubs will be important, but only after junior year. College coaches (at least the honorable ones) will pretty much ignore kids until after their Sophomore year. There will be no need to gamble on the kids that developed early any more.
Good quote by Kevin Rice "New recruiting rule is a great step, I barely played on my HS team until junior year. The best freshman rarely turns out as the best player"

So, will coaches being dipping into 2022 before the recruiting deadline on 4/26 ? Will parents be pushing to make contact before ? Or, does it stop at 2021 until Sept 1 of Junior year ?

The new rules are effective immediately as in last Friday. The NCAA has clarified this.
That's classy. LI teams pulling from 2021 every chance they get

Everything I've read says Immediately following the 4/26 meeting.
Update: April 15, 3:30 p.m.
An IWLCA spokesperson provided IL with clarity regarding the effective date for this legislation. After originally being reported that the rules would go into effect after the NCAA's Board of Governor's meeting on April 26, it's now apparent that that step is not necessary.
"We have just received confirmation via email from the NCAA that the lacrosse early recruiting proposal became effective yesterday. An official interpretation should be forthcoming," the spokesperson wrote IL via email. "This means that all recruiting contact begins September 1st of a prospective student-athlete's junior year. Any recruiting contact with younger PSAs is impermissible under the new rule. ​This is different than most of the measures passed yesterday that will become final at the close of the NCAA Board of Governors meeting on April 26."

Out of curiosity, why don't the MD teams send their 12-13 year olds to the age appropriate tourneys. If I'm a MD coach or parent, I'd be curious how they fair against other age appropriate clubs. Can only imagine that the experience would make those players better.

The system has to change so that all teams are age based before there is wide-spread support for age based tournaments. Now that there is less incentive for kids to align with the graduation year for college coaches to evaluate 7th and 8th graders, hopefully the teams will be age based at least through middle school. Until then, the age based tournaments will only get marginal support and be 2nd rate tournaments.
Anyone hear anything from the warrior tryouts?

Teams already played and Vikings beat ESM decisively so no real point in redoing it.
How about the fact that ESM was disqualified from the toiurnamemt for having 8 and 9 graders playing on the 7 grade team Nice try ESM. But cheating gets you nowhere. You cheated, you were disqualified. Glad to see the tournament did the right thing. Next time do not cheat to try and win.
ESM had older kids and still got beat by Port Washington by 3 or 4 nice job
Are you serious? Obviously the organization does not want to partake.
As an Outlaw parent told me, they are ok not doing the WSYL and pay $6,000.00 a family to play teams from Long Island. They will just do the 2022 National Championship and the NCAA Futures Tournament instead.
Sanity from a Long Island team? Unheard of.
The wsylax would be a waste for Outlaw. If you can't make it don't go.

He is back. The outlaw dad that was kicked off the team. You know best.
Thats embarrassing since I'm 38 years old. Thank you for your very helpful comment
Results are on the website
How do kids who were not at the tryout make the team? Fixed.
Results are on the website
Not at all surprised to see that half of the 24 kids are from 9D1 AA and six are from the Channy Express.

What did you expect? A fair tryout to the kids that showed up. How dare you think that would exist.
5 attackman for warrior....2 are the coaches sons that wasnt there...3 spots were open and 20 kids showed up to compete...9D! took my money...Live and learn i guess....They got me this time.

if this money grab was aged based, there would have been four attack spots open...
With new recruiting rules, hope you all have refundable tickets to Denver. Nothing matters until summer of 10th grade now. Keep you #20 kid out of 24 players or in Express' case out of 35 players on the top 3 teams, see you in 3 years.
Denver (wsyl) has nothing to do with recruiting you moron!! Its just an expensive tourney, if you don't want to participate thats up to you stop the bs, I guarantee any kid who is fortunate enough to play at mile high for a championship on TV will never forget that experience!!! Give it a rest all ready and move on jerkoff!!!
1/3 of the 2021 team didn't go to the tryouts

It is true. All in control of Dynamic Sports. Except, they are cutting the other clubs in on it. Bottom line for them is everyone makes money. Bottom line for the rest of us it's a monopoly which we pay for them to get rich. $185.00 for a tryout and they pick kids that didn't show up is a joke. That is why Brine will always be there.
Brine should vs Warrior Champs?
Brine should vs Warrior Champs?
Or have 2 teams from the area like Brine did.
Hey , don't be fooled who you think picks the Brine team?? wake up people !!!!
3/4 of warrior team will probably make up Brine team
Aren't most of the boys on both teams?
OK good question , So who does pick the Brine teams ( for all grades ) and who are the Coaches?
Come on...You know this wasn't legit. Kids made the team that weren't at the tryout. If you didn't tryout you shouldn't be on the team. That's all you need to know. All the attack on the team is 91. No other kids from any other organization made it on attack. That's ridiculous. One more question, did anyone from 91AA not make the team? People won't be back next year. Warrior blew this one.
same guys that picked the warrior team are some way involved in brine , at least last year they were last year
3/4 of warrior team will probably make up Brine team
Absolutely not.
Aren't most of the boys on both teams?
NO.
Aren't most of the boys on both teams?
NO.
Will boys who did not show up for the Brine tryouts show up for the Long Island Pride games on May 5th?? I'm getting disenchanted on this tryout process.
Gross behavior by parents and players at Spring Jam today. Going to be a long season if this is going to be the behavior we see!
Smithtown kid trying to throw fists... what parents though? Annoying brooklyn?
The Smithtown parents for one. Trying to justify that kid throwing punches. The Brooklyn parents were ridiculous and so we're the Massapequa parents. Yelling to put a body on a kid or take that kid down is just unnecessary. No wonder kids think throwing punches is appropriate. His parents probably patted the kid on the back and told him next time punch harder. I was on the field behind that game so niy sure what started it but I will give both coaches of that game props. The Smithtown coach flew on to the field and grabbed the kid throwing punches. He them pulled the entire team off the field and laid into them about how it wasn't how the game is played. Not sure what the score was of that game or how they count it because they didn't finish playing. Kid should have been tossed from the tourney!
Will boys who did not show up for the Brine tryouts show up for the Long Island Pride games on May 5th?? I'm getting disenchanted on this tryout process.
With the new rules for recruiting in place, these events are really not worth it.

Thanks Papa Smurf!
what happened to the Panda?
The panda is not from Long island. Jersey kid. He's not better then the f/o kids picked anyway.
So who's the favorite for the Spring Lax Jam this Saturday?
I'm sure Express will win this one with ease! No real competition here!
Coming from an Express parent: still early Spring. 91, Outlaws and Lax will be there...should be fun and good competition.
Didn't 91 just beat express 2 weeks ago?
Short memory. Express has lost 4 times in the last month. They're not winning anything with ease.
WOW its so quiet on here! Usually every parent bragging about how great their kids team is!

I guess that's what happens when your area does not have a viable club league playing games every week.
We have a town league that plays an 8 game thrilling schedule, Why would anybody want a structured multi level competitive league with standings and a playoff system.
what 2022 teams participate in the league?

My kid is playing MS ball and PAL, so 5 - 7 practices and 2 - 3 games per week, along with 1 or 2 club team practices per week - how much more can you really expect of them??! SMH
Team disappeared from own tournament this weekend
Why?
So NineD +1 dropped out of Spring Jam. Where they afraid they were going to have to play Express?
nine d 1 coming off a thrilling victory over express at WSYL I don't blame them for dropping out !!
Think they did want to play Outlaws/ Losing to them would be devastating
Like the last time they played
Probably missing a couple kids so they run and hide

MS and PAL is not really the same level as club teams though.
So weak. Team therapists must have suggested it.
Thats funny! 9D1 would not lose the the Outlaws if half their team was missing. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Outlaws have not come that far that 9d1 or Express need to fear them.

He is playing club in addition to MS and PAL - so games and practice for three different teams.
Express wins championship today. Avenged previous loss to Laxachussetts. Some good teams. Mesa was good. Outlaws will be in the mix this summer. Easily top 4 on LI. Tournament run poorly. No one keeping score. 10 minute tie breaker between express and outlaws is no way to decide who plays for championship.
That's 10 minute tiebreaker was a ridiculous idea. Congratulations to Express
Would you have preferred a coin flip

Do your kid and yourself a favor. Learn the word NO. Your son's body will begin to break down. Please give one up. Been through this before. If kid is a top player, PAL is a complete waste of time at this age. I get he plays with his friends. But his heels, ankles, Knees and back will start to bare the brunt of this...

I agree. Way too much. PAL is not worth it if he is playing on the school team then he is already playing with his friends drop one. For the sake of the kids Body.
Express loses today in a scrimmage to legacy rebels. Lose yesterday to laxachusetts. Maybe they should start playing some more of that 36 man roster. Not just the same chosen few that pay the most $$ for training.

I get your point, but realize this whole thread started with someone suggesting a spring club travel league INSTEAD OF playing PAL - adding that into the mix over PAL would be more intense and, therefore more wear and tear than PAL! My point was that the added PAL was already probably too much.
what other teams played??
Scrimmage would be meaningless if it occurred the day after they kids played 4+ games.
Cantiague Park, this was an arranged game with referee's and Leg- asee won 11-8. It was a good competitive game and I wish all LI travel teams would do it more often.

I agree
was that express A or B team that lost to leg ??? any other teams play ??
Express AA (channy), and to the guy who said post tournament 4+ blah blah blah, no one likes an excuse more than a loser. Express is a very good team but they got beat, tomorrow is a new day. Good competition makes everyone better.
It was a scrimmage. Kidd that don't play that much got get some run.
Express won. Stop the nonsense
Sorry but express lost 11-8. Teams are catching up and surpassing them. This is not last year. Too many kids over there also. That team is ready to implode. Channy can't say no to the $.
Either you are stupid and can't count or you are a loser trying to promote fake news. Regardless you need help
Express did lose, but played kids that usually do not step on field. Looks like the 38 kid roster is ready to implode. This is not on Chanenchuck. This is on parents that put kids on team. 2022 has 5 very good teams on island
Come to practice on Saturday and we'll broadcast the game so you can count the goals. BOZO
I wasn't there but Channy never takes his foot off the gas especially when behind. Seems likes a fishy excuse.

This is funny. Kids that are on the team got to Play in a scrimmage. The only one that is really laughing is Channy on his way to the bank.
I wasn't there but Channy never takes his foot off the gas especially when behind. Seems likes a fishy excuse.
Express was up by 3 to 4 goals most of the scrimmage, so your logic does not add up.
um who cares? If you aren't on that team what's it to you?

If minutes decrease, they never reverse the other way. Sorry, speaking from experience.
Look at the bright side, you kid gets a bunch of t-shirts claiming hes a champion and daddy gets to spend $8,500 so that he can brag that he plays for Express!

Its not just express , I see it on most teams if your kid is not on the field in tight games or on man up or man down its time to find another team at this age

Agreed. It's all about playing time. You cannot get better at anything when you are watching from a the sidelines....
Let's just say that you are right about "playing time" being everything, what about 40 plus player high school and 60 plus player college rosters? Players can improve and experience the sport and the team by training and practicing and challenging starters. There are only so many starting positions and so many lines and so many minutes in games. What may make sense, is for coaches to schedule other tournaments, games and scrimmages for the players the consistently get less minutes and give them the opportunity to compete in games.

That's HS and college....youth is where you need to play because 1) you will get better and give yourself a better chance to see the field in HS and college 2)No matter how much you play/train at the youth level you may not get to play when you get to HS or College . So you'd rather have your kid be on a team and not play at the youth level just for the sake of learning to be a team player and not see the field for for say 8 years? Stupid..get over the playing on a big named club
Dad. It's for your son not so you can tell your friends your kid plays on a big named club
If the boys play with one of the top club programs, they will likely get plenty of game time with their PAL and school teams. Compete with and against the highest level players in select club lacrosse. These are personal choices that each boy and each family make. People do what they feel is best for their kid.
Someone referenced 38 kid roster. That's a a giant exaggeration, correct?

It's easy to play with very talented kids, show me a kid who excels around limited talent, and that's a great player.
Not at all and exaggeration! Last year this was a fact and they only ran like 15 kids all year! I personally did not play on the team but a good friend of mine did.
Express just posted tryout dates - August 1 and August 3 for 2022. Will 9D1 hold theirs in July to respond?

Slight exaggeration.....I believe it's 34

34 kids x $5000 per kid=$170K for one team....

(as the directors laugh their way to the bank . . .)
I my opinion, not being on the most elite team is okay. It all works out. It's been said before and it's true. You and your son should be enjoying these moments and creating memories that last years.
Not judging, been there.

I am creating memories with my son by taking him to the tournaments. It's over for the summer by the end of July. Some people ship their kids off to sleepaway camp the day after school ends til the end of August. You people should be directing these comments at them.
Whos in Blatant next week- Hope top teams are
I heard a lot of the teams are doing it from what I heard.
It's a shame the NCAA Qfinals at Hofstra are the same day... I am sure the boys would like to see them play.

Blatant 2022 and 2021 divisions are Sunday. QF at Hofstra is Saturday.
Expect 9D1, Express, Leg-uh-see, Outlaws, Igloo in the A bracket.
This is only a one day tournament?
It's a shame the NCAA Qfinals at Hofstra are the same day... I am sure the boys would like to see them play.
Leave it to Blatant to make another blatant blunder. Isn't this the same person who professes to be a college recruiting expert?
Leave it to a stupid armchair lax crud dad to say somthing dumb like that. 13 year olds should have better things to do if they aren't on the field. You must be a Democrat!

So why did your Director sign up for the tournament dip $hit?
I guess he was forced to by the Blatant guys, right? By the way, you should only hope he helps your son get recruited. The guy is honest, on the ball, and very competent in the recruiting process. Followed up on everything for our older son. Oh and the Coaches we met with had nothing but the best to say about how he handled things. But don't worry, when the time comes I'm sure the 90+1 guys will take care of everything for your son who's the 9th middy on the AAAA Super team. Good luck!
All the late add ons get scholarshipped. My son did 2 years ago its not all about money but all about winning !!!!
So who's the front runner to take the Blatant Spring Jam this weekend?
so the greenwich warriors show up to a lot of tourneys on the island, travel and town. how is it on their website it says they take from any town in NY and CT???? wouldn't that exclude them from town tourneys?

If you don't beat them then you stink! Town or Travel, they are not very good
So who's the front runner to take the Blatant Spring Jam this weekend?
I heard ninety + one dropped out something about being scared to play real competition !!!!
All of the top 2022 top teams will fight it out at the Million championship in july save the bs till then enjoy the season

Only 4 clubs in top level, but all top teams.
Igloos, express, legC, outlaws
My bet is on igloo.
thanks! let's all run to vegas
2nd time this spring 89 plus 2 dropped out

Obviously there is trouble in paradise!
So funny when an Outlaw parents groups themselves in the top four of a 5 team bracket and the 5th team is the B team in an organization. Only game outlaws will win is against igloo B
We're are all the other clubs A teams? It's the same old 4 or 5 teams!

Didn't that Outlaws team lose to a town team at the Mayflower tournament in the fall?
2022 Select did not lose to a town team
They are Very good, go in any tournament and do not duck anyone
89 plus 2 Runs from the competition
I also think they have beat Leg a C last 3 out of 4 times

I guess it wasn't a great day to be an Outlaw ! Ha ha ha
Igloo A and Igloo B just had their smush - unitedd moment. B looked great A barely neat legaC and got mopped up by express
So 91 keeps ducking out- But they are A ??
Outlaws play any and all- Call them what ever makes you happy
I call them a Good group of kids that play hard
Igloo A and Igloo B just had their smush - unitedd moment. B looked great A barely neat legaC and got mopped up by express
You joke about it, but kudos to them that they can produce 2 very good teams at the age group. You don't need your kid on an A team, you just need good coaching and dedication.
Congratulations to Igloo Aspen Extreme. The boys train and play hard and have developed nicely. Definitely deserve their success. Not just today, but competitiive play for more than a year now. Well done!
That's what happens when you play everyone. 2nd igloo team always plays in the top bracket. Only gets you better. They beat outlaws in braveheart, beat express, probably would have beat leg a C and express again too if best player didn't get hurt. And for all those bashing these teams for losing, think about it. Outlaws, leg a C, express and both igloo teams always play everybody. No hiding. You rip outlaws, why? They lost to the 2 teams in championship-beat leg a C, lost to an igloo A team in the last minute of a game they totally outplayed igloo. Rip leg a C, why? They played everybody tough today.
All this while 91 sits home and hides. That's when we should be asking why?

Completely agree - no one team blew any teams out of the water today - great competition - this age group is phenomenal.
The igloo organization should be applaud today and I'm an Express parent!! Orange and black could have had what Igloo is doing but we have two teams with 35 and 28, a B team where some kids can barely pass or throw! Pathetic at this age! Maybe all the clubs need to look at producing competitive teams, the money will be there, the talent is certainly there! Maybe pass on a few private lessons or be honest and tell mom dad, Johnny not built for this team or this level of lacrosse! I'm not sure how Igloo figured it out, good for them and those boys!!!
Yes 91 they had it and could have twiked the teams a bit but no... Horrible business move. Terrific talent at 2022, alot to go around and remain competitive.

What clubs should do at tryouts is pick the top team and then have another tryyout for the 2nd team. Because 2nd teams when orginally picked are good. But too many just tryout for the top team. Then those kids that make the 2nd team say no. Makes building a 2nd team hard.
This past weekend should benefit both Igloo squads. "A" team learned that no team in the top 5-6 here on LI is handing them a win just because of what they have done in the past. "B" team hopefully gained some confidence that they can play with everyone and learned the effort needed to do so. A few of their boys were really spent by the end of the day.

I agree somewhat but Igloo built this 2nd team out of parents and kids that liked the coach and sincerely wanted to play there. Igloo's tryouts were some of the last so even if kids didn't make the A teams of other clubs they accepted invites anywhere they could rather than take a chance of not making an Igloo team and being stuck without a team. Igloo should really benefit from earlier tryout dates this year.
Just lost to Igloo B team, so much for Outlaws Being an A team that can play with anyone and is in the top four.
Outlaws is a joke with PB at the helm.
Could not agree more! Bad move !
Lol...who is it that hates the Outlaws organization so bad? I'm not an Outlaw parent but saw them play this weekend. The team is good and played everyone tough....what else do you want from them?
The person/people that bash outlaws are known to everyone in the organization. They go to the team because their kids sat the bench on some of the "big" teams and think outlaws is their "backup". They think they will go there and their kid will be the savior and play every minute. When they see there is actually talented kids on the team and their kid still isn't playing every minute, the sideline and BOTC b*t*hing starts. They end up leaving and have to make excuses why their kid still didn't play EVERY minute on the "backup" team. They don't accept being part of a team. They went to outlaws to BE the team and it didn't work...ego crushed.
Lol...who is it that hates the Outlaws organization so bad? I'm not an Outlaw parent but saw them play this weekend. The team is good and played everyone tough....what else do you want from them?
For them to lose and implode. That is what being a full blown hater is about. Lol.
Reality check is that we have good competition throughout the island and that is healthy for the sport.

It's definitely and Outlaw parent. The dysfunction on that team starts at the top and seeps its way to the sidelines! Yesterday was only the beginning and already there is dissension in the ranks! I think the Outlaws are set to implode!

WOW If this $hit is going down after one bad tournament what gonna happen when they get killed next weekend up in Boston?
Outlaws are going to implode after some pretty good games yesterday. Lost to igloo B in braveheart, seemed like the end of the world until igloo B goes out and beats express next. Then outlaws take igloo A to the last minute of the game. Implosion imminent. Express last week was ready to implode after only about a 1/4 of their 35 man roster see the field. Parents going crazy about it. Implosion imminent. Leg a C gets beat by igloo A yesterday and dismantled by outlaws. Implosion imminent. But wait didn't they just beat express a week or so ago? 91 can't field a team for any of these tournaments. Ducking and hiding after the winter of mass exodus. Implosion imminent. Igloo A getting upstaged by igloo B. Getting handled by express easy. Barely beating outlaws in last minute. Parents must be up in arms. Implosion imminent.
But guess what. The kids are having a great time.the coaches are loving the great competition. Wins and losses happen. Compete hard and enjoy the ride. Parents please stop going insane over every game. It's just a game. None of these teams are imploding. It's great to have express, igloo, outlaws, leg a C, 91 all competitive. And igloo B, welcome to the party. You proved yesterday you belong.
Bottom line is any team can have a bad game/ day happens in every sport, u forgot to mention leg a c lost to outlaws and Igloo A but ended up by beating igloo B so easy with welcome to the party crap . and just a few weeks ago 91 beat express at ws qualifier . Igloo B went 0 and 3 . Lets just wait till end of summer then u can talk all u want , hope we all at least can all agree there is a ton of talent at this age and on any given day anyone of these teams can beat oneanother .And please save the missing /hurt players excuse all teams had similar situations

Well said even though it will fall on deaf ears! Parents or Ex parents always want to bashed the Outlaws or any other club they play or played for !

The igloo organization should be applaud today and I'm an Express parent!! Orange and black could have had what Igloo is doing but we have two teams with 35 and 28, a B team where some kids can barely pass or throw! Pathetic at this age! Maybe all the clubs need to look at producing competitive teams, the money will be there, the talent is certainly there! Maybe pass on a few private lessons or be honest and tell mom dad, Johnny not built for this team or this level of lacrosse! I'm not sure how Igloo figured it out, good for them and those boys!!!
What clubs should do at tryouts is pick the top team and then have another tryyout for the 2nd team. Because 2nd teams when orginally picked are good. But too many just tryout for the top team. Then those kids that make the 2nd team say no. Makes building a 2nd team hard.
I agree somewhat but Igloo built this 2nd team out of parents and kids that liked the coach and sincerely wanted to play there. Igloo's tryouts were some of the last so even if kids didn't make the A teams of other clubs they accepted invites anywhere they could rather than take a chance of not making an Igloo team and being stuck without a team. Igloo should really benefit from earlier tryout dates this year.
That doesn't seem like a hard thing to do. Find a good coach run the team. I would lI've to hear everyone's feedback on this once and for all. Would you rather watch your kid play a lot on a 2nd team and watch the team develop and play on a B team. Or be rostered on an A team and never play in a big game, just garage time minutes.
Me, I am selfish... I actually enjoy youth sports and watching my.son play. Don't care if it's A, B, or C. Not playing, sucks and I don't want to hear how valuable it is to practice, and how that helps your son improve. To what end... work your but off and get 5 minutes in a 13-1 game. Get real good on the 2nd team and get moved up the following year.

Only it is....its hard to build a good 2nd team in an organization. Just look at your last sentence. " get real good on the 2nd team and get moved up the following year" well now there is a void to be filled to stay competitive. And in all likelihood you aren't losing a backup lsm. So now you need to replace an "A" caliber player with the tryouts not helping because they are so late. That Igloo 2nd team has some boys that could have played on other clubs "A" teams this year but the parents and kids chose to stay.Add to that the fact that those parents were ridiculed and were told they were crazy for keeping their kids on a "B" team. So who knows how the rest of the season will go for those kids but no matter what , one thing is for sure..it's not easy

Interesting., thanks for the insight. Because there is parents on clubs that wouldn't never consider that path. And I won't just say parents, it takes the club to guide this as well.

The other part of what you are saying is very true. Your kid needs to play. So many kids are already pigeon holed into a position . Some of the middies on that team (3-4? maybe) are big , strong and fast. Can you imagine how many times those boys/ parents have been told they should put a long stick in their hands...because their stick skills aren't good enough at 7th grade! "they can play on an "A' team as an LSM, defensive middie or close D" they are told. If your kid is lucky enough to find themselves in a situation where they can play a bunch while being able to work parts on the weaker parts of their game...keep them there. No college is looking at your kid next year or the year after anymore. Have them play and develop . No reason to sit the bench on an "A" team just to say you are on one. And if your kid is an athlete don't let them get put in a spot they don't want to play at this age.
I would take playing time on a B team over sitting on A any day of the week. How else does your son get better?
"Parents or Ex parents always want to bashed the Outlaws or any other club they play or played for " Does this make sense?
No. Incomplete thought.
OK I will break it down for you. The poster is obviously a parent whose child once played for the Outlaws! The parent is bitter that PB did not pick his or her child to play for the Outlaws again thus bringing the EX into the equation! Bottom line is simple Outlaws are a good team but not a great team. Express has their number and so does Igloo even though it was a close game ! They are NOT a B team they are probably a A- team but certainly not a AA team, they have too many weaknesses!

Since your the youth lacrosse expert please list these weaknesses !
If the outlaws think they can hang with igloo becouse they lost by one goal think again

You mean Igloo A right? That's the first time the B team ever beat them.
If the outlaws think they can hang with igloo becouse they lost by one goal think again
Stupid outlaw parent trying to get people to say, Outlaws has beaten igloo X times in the past...who cares, igloo and express are the two best teams, both AA. Igloo, outlaws and others are B teams, call them A- if it makes you feel better.
It's nice being Igloo B, no pressure, just come to play and have fun! Plain and simple, just have fun!
That's the way it should be. Wish my son played for Igloo B
That's the way it should be. Wish my son played for Igloo B
Same here...
My son plays for igloo b. Great kids and parents who are committed to staying together. The hard work shows. Last year started as a new team. Several jesters kids. Played mostly b last year. This year decided to only play a brackets no matter what. This past week the boys learned that they can play with the top teams. They might not win a lot of championships but they are not hiding and will only get better.
Oh god what's makes igloo B so attractive they are a B they went 0 6 at the world series qualifier. It was the fist time they beat outlaws and lost to lagecy. They ate a true B team and I am sure there are un happy people there too like all teams
Coming from Express > those boys work and play hard. They can compete with the best teams. Respect
igloo is a B TEAM sorry when they beat 91 IGLOO AA and Express then they are A team who have they beat that was good
We played you guys twice on Saturday. Express parents were very nice on the sidelines. It was a good day for all the boys.

What you fail to realize is that at the World Series qualifier other organizations (not all but most) were able to and did bring in kids from their 2021 teams that were age eligible to play for their teams that made them better. Not only did Igloo B not have the luxury to do that...they lost arguably their best midfielder to the other Igloo team for that tournament! They have some really good players but they are not deep . The cards were stacked against them in that qualifier and they knew it going in and still showed up.
Its funny how everyone is talking, express, leg-a-cy, igloo and outlaws. Where the [lacrosse] is 9d1? how is it that they dropped out of two events in the last month and no one mentions anything. Something is definitely wrong over by those guys but no one is talking. The whole thing just seems strange that June is a week away and they have played in ONE TOURNAMENT this season with a couple of scrimmages.

igloo is a B TEAM sorry when they beat 91 AA IGLOO and Express then they are A team who have they beat that was good
They just split two games with Express Channy on Sunday (won 3-2 and lost 6-3). They haven't played the other Igloo team yet. 91 AA either didn't bother to sign up for the Blatant this past weekend or backed out. They beat Outlaws and lost to LegUhC. LegUhC beat them twice this year, 6-5 in October and 5-4 on Sunday. Not too shabby for a team that didn't exist until September 2015 and that is the second 2022 team of an organization.
So, by process of elimination, you are either a 91AA or 91A parent who is pissed at losing your perch on top of the 2022 heap (which sounds REALLY pathetic as you read it), a LegUhC parent who after going 1-2 on Sunday is angry that someone suggested that Igloo's second team might be able to compete in tournaments with A-level competition when for some reason people on this message board don't say the same about your team (which you probably shouldn't care about), or a parent from another team who desperately wants to be included in this ridiculous discussion. Either way, I'm sure the Igloo Aspen players, coaches and parents don't really care whether YOU think they are an A team or a B team.

Outlaw parent here... This past weekend had some nice lacrosse... all teams had trouble scoring - but I would not call Igloo Aspen Extreme - a B Team... They are strong and have some big powerful players... they can hang with any team in this age group.

What do you have against the Igloo B team?
igloo is a B TEAM sorry when they beat 91 IGLOO AA and Express then they are A team who have they beat that was good
They beat express moron. That's what they are the topic of this conversation.
If anything came out of all this, at least Igloo B elieve made some noise in the travel circuit!
IGLOO Aspen are definitely A
Igloo tryouts are coming up in July, hope to see more boys this time since this year is much earlier!!! Good luck all for the rest of your summer tournaments all!
Igloo aspen extreme are more of an A team then the outlaws for sure.
Igloo aspen extreme are more of an A team then the outlaws for sure.
Oulawas parent trying to get something going again, nothing doing guy...both are B+ teams, difference is Igloo is fine with that and Outlaws can't accept it. outlaws so much wanted to be grouped with igloo A, express etc. sorry
I wonder if LI went to an age based system who would be the top team at this age. Express- no way 1/4 of their team would be playing with 8th graders. Igloo, same deal. 91-same deal. Just wondering
Duke's National shows up in Boston playing 2022 with a full team of 15 year olds. Lost to Express 6-5. Imagine if they showed up with 7th graders?
Reality check: express is playing with quite a few holdbacks too. Don't deny it.

Ha ha, Dukes Nationals...you still dragging your kid all over the country to play lacrosse? The middle school and travel isn't enough at this age? You say "he loves it, he asks me if he can play more" he would prefer to be at the beach, trust me. You say "he is with his friends from lacrosse". He would prefer to be with his friends from school face timing girls from his grade. Has nothing to do with the kids, just the dads...just saying.

Misinformed, but keep telling yourself this if it makes you feel better

Not
So what team will be good then at the WSYL because holdbacks can't play
Holdback: another word for Cheating
Double holdback: another word for psychotic parent and cheating
15 year old playing as 7th grader: dangerous, psychotic and cheating

Hello... they all just played in an age based system on a weekend about month ago. One semi final game went to OT and Igloo won it. All competitive close games, which is the case when the teams play grade based. Everyone gets so obsessed over the holdback issue, give it rest. If it is within in the rules, that is it, no further discussion needed. And if you think a team is not following the rules, go to the tournament director and lodge a complaint. Coming on here and calling a team cheaters is a waste.

The holdbacks would be replaced by age appropriate 8th graders and then you would all complain about that

Let's not forget about the guest players that don't live in New [lacrosse] state anymore but keep reappearing at tournaments . And let's not forget about your ever-changing roster which is growing like a cancer. You people are all in such denial. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would be embarrassed to be a part of your organization.
Are Express and Titans the same organization? More money in Chaneys pocket?

Who cares, the guy puts out a good product.
Express looked good playing against Dukes this past weekend. They played well as a team. But a roster of 30 plus kids don't know how many got to play. Dukes had the more talented team but do not play well as a team. I think the kids on Dukes team are trying to prove they are the best players on the field. Don't know if the Dukes model is working.
I think you're correct. The Duke model may be more of a Showcase type of organization than a team.
Son has been asked to get in the faceoff X a bit more. Can anyone recommend a head that is widely used for good faceoff work but can handle being a middie who plays more then FOGO? Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. Any other opinions? STX Duel had been mentioned frequently to me also.
Don't have a view on the Duel, but the CEO is a head that fits the bill of being both a good offensive head and faceoff head.
Reality check: express is playing with quite a few holdbacks too. Don't deny it.
Not
Absolute fact ! My kid is one of them !! I will also tell you there are 5 other kids that are holdbacks too!!!!
Igloo aspen extreme are more of an A team then the outlaws for sure.

What happened to the Outlaws this weekend? I think reality is smacking them right in the face! You will see them disappear off the circuit again so they can go play B teams in Connecticut and Pennsylvania so they can get some t-shirts!
Express 22 is going to WSYL. All players have submitted birth certificates. Explain the holdback theory. Coach P (from Hopkins) twins are 2021's, playing down on 2022. Deny that? Their bios are all over the internet.

That is definitely someone who has played on this team !
How about the panda??? Hold back. He's not going to wsyl. Without him you're an ordinary team. That's why 91 beat you. That's why igloo and 91 will both beat you again. No fogo. Just admit some of your best players are older than most. No big deal. Every team has some. Don't act like you dont.
Igloo does not have any holdbacks never has never will every kid 04 birthday
How old are they?? Stop with the grade non-sense.
Igloo does not have any holdbacks never has never will every kid 04 birthday
Igloos WSYL has 8th graders on it
It will be the second try for some. Experience of a life time? Only if you win

04 birthday .... the only thing that matters for an age based tournament. 6th,7th, 8th grade doesn't matter. Grade has zero, ZERO to do with anything. "Second try" has ZERO to do with anything. Honestly, I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand. The only determination is age, anything else that is mentioned means that you do not understand a very basic concept.

They are true 7th graders that have been playing up since they started playing lax. They will have to play 2022 their correct age and grade this summer and next year.
The Igloo WSYL is different from their Artic Blast team. Don't blame them, embrace the rules. And play to win
No mention of express's panda? Panda doesn't qualify for this tournament but some 8th graders do. How old is this kid?
Who the f is panda? Stop talking in codes or don't talk at all.
Who's going to be at NLF?

Complete hypocrisy! Igloo and its owner wanted to take it to the Supreme Court last year when Legacy did it to them, with rising 9th grade players. AA decided to practice a different set of rules this year. It will be interesting to see how it impacts the team chemistry and program dynamics: take 8 boys from the 2021 team and deny 8 boys from the 2022 team, to form a special team for this tournament. Players and families make annual commitment to an elite lacrose club, sign-up, pay the full tuition, go to every practice and every tournament and are then alienated from their team by being replaced with older boys; because Igloo is embracing the rules or cheating the system. This should not at all be the spirit of youth sports or example that adults set for children. Why not compete as the team that you are? You better win, with two handfuls of 9th graders. Good luck! By the way, do the WSYL rules allow for players to participate in the tournament multiple times and consecutive years?
No mention of express's panda? Panda doesn't qualify for this tournament but some 8th graders do. How old is this kid?
Best part is that he may reclass again
Teams listed for NLF on Tourney Machine, but not schedule yet.

Regardless of the actual count, it is completely unjustifiable to the Acrtic Blast players that are being deprived of this unique opportunity to play with their team. Shameless act by the program.
Heard 9dee1 has play day sun- Who against?
totally agree --- just wrong thing to do. ironic as igloo is the first team to cry "holdbacks" when they go against the maryland teams and play the big boys. respect to the programs that are competing in the world series with the players that are actually on the 2016/2017 team rosters.

I have sympathy for your disappointment but I think I disagree with your conclusion. I don't want to spend the time nor the money to go to Denver with anything except the best on-age players. I know it's hard and a little embarrassing that your player wasn't chosen but I don't think you get to do everything regardless of ability. The people going want the best chance to win the thing, and I also think that the boys are old enough to really face the realities of competition. Hopefully the decisions were merit based and not political.

You are a total moron. Every team at the qualifier had kids that are in 8th grade but are age appropriate according to the rules. People complain about playing with the Maryland "Big Boys"because when it's a "grade based"event Maryland has kids that are a year or 2 older than the typical 7th grader on Long Island.No such thing as a hold back on WSYL rosters which is why Maryland cant send some teams. Maryland cant compete with LI without using older kids...or "Big Boys" as you'd rather call them
That is competely false because the majority of teams participated in the WS qualifier as a true 2022 team and did not recruit or bring down 8th graders/soon to be rising 9th graders.

AGREE 100%
Try 5 and funny thing chances are they still will not be the oldest

You have no idea what you are talking about.Legacy set the precedent last year and the size disparity was clear to everyone watching, including the announcers on tv. So in order to even the playing field, organizations created teams that utilize kids that fall into the age requirement of the WSYL tournament regardless of the grade they are in. What's great is all these elite Maryland 2022 teams mysteriously cant/won't field a competitive team for this event now. Fire away with the lame excuses ...let me save you from having to type the most popular ones 1) it's a lame B/C level tournament.2) our team decided not to do it and exclude 2-3 who miss the age requirement (we will ignore the fact that they are the best kids on the team AND would be considered a hold back at 2022)
Bottom line is that the current best teams in Maryland can not compete against best teams on LI when there is an age limit.
No one disputes this, It is a shame, as in years pass MD could compete with age restrictions. No more.
the physical maturity of igloo's 2021 team players who were recruited to arctic blast will also be clear to everyone as well. let's see if the second time is a charm for igloo's rising 9th graders who played in the world series last year with black ice. maybe those players can be personal tour guides for all boys who will be experiencing the event for the first time and the announcers will have already practiced pronouncing their names. take pictures and bring back souvenirs for the boys who were excluded from this opportunity. keep rationalizing it and maybe you will overcome your moral conscience.

Not true: For starters 91MD and Diamondbacks can and this is coming from a NYer who played and has kids with two of the top clubs. Stop trashtalking and show some humility.
How is igloo going to get around the age base rule at WSYL

API Diamondbacks have lost players. They are not as competitive as years before. After the wsyl tournament I doubt this team will exists. Some players already playing for other clubs this summer.
How is igloo going to get around the age base rule at WSYL
By using age appropriate black ice players
If you can't beat them (Legacy, with rising 9), join them (Igloo, with rising 9). Apparently some at Igloo believe that there are ringers in team.
WHO CARES !!! By the time these kids are in High School half of them won't be playing! All you psycho parents are living through your kids should really get a hold of reality. Let your kid be a kid and HAVE FUN

Maryland teams don't think it's worth the hassle to kick 3 or 4 kids off the team and have tryouts to replace them for one weak tournament on the other side of the country. That is why NONE of the top 5 Maryland teams are going to Denver. Have fun playing a bunch of scrubs and a couple good LI teams. See you at the Millon tournament for a real National championship.
don't forget how you greased $ the coach
No that's not why the Maryland teams are not going to the World Series they just can't field a competitive team at the correct age requirement that's why Long Island teams are the best in the age group but that's okay we'll just come down in July at Millon and beat up on your Rising 9th graders. Oh excuse me 8th graders

So if they are on the top 5 2022 teams...what reason would you have to kick 3or 4 kids off for the WSYL? Can't have it both ways . Can't deny you have 3 or 4 holdback per team on your top Maryland 2022 teams and then use the fact you have older boys that don't qualify as a way to put down an age based tournament.

The age cutoffs for wsyl (which change year to year) determine who is on or off the team for this one tournament. The other leagues and tournaments all the Maryland clubs play in have different rules (that don't change year to year.). Why revamp your team and disrupt your summer for one tournament that is not up to the level other tournaments you could play in? Marylanders are not that stupid.

Sad state youth lacrosse is in. Development of players in 3rd tear for most big name clubs. NY is no better than PA,MD,VA or anywhere else. Teams in those states follow the rules given for each league and tournament. Rules that most think should be changed due to the bending of those rules. None of which makes them cheaters. Teams also have kids from other states on them that have tried out and paid dues.Which is also not cheating. Some of the youngest players on these teams might happened to be the biggest, fastest and strongest, which is not cheating. Aside from the top High School leagues in the country which accept holdbacks as the norm, it is safe to say every club or team is bending the rules to favor them at every level. It does not matter what State you live in.You can't holdback a player in High School and have them return to that same school. So this is why it happens in 7th and 8th grade.
If your player wants to compete at the Elite level from now to High School than this is what they have to deal with.
The level the 2022's play at is remarkable and fun to watch. It is also clear which teams are developing and being well coached. For me that is all that matters, losing to a team that might have a few holdbacks, or bending rules somehow doesn't mean the end of my sons world. Especially when EVERY team is doing it somehow/someway.
I personally think its a shame the best teams from MD will not be at WYSL. Teams that should be but can't because of the new cut off date. This tournament could of been much better. That is not taking away from all the teams that did make it.
Cheers to new rules that ALL have to follow on every level anywhere in the country.
what is sad is that some clubs are not playing as a team, rather drop these boys who are on the team and bring down those boys from the grade above. just directors/coaches doing whatever it takes to attempt to win. no regard for the kids on the team, their well-being and their overall development. what happened to playing with what you got, trying your best and accepting the results - win or lose?

That's Lax, ME FIRST!
NLF schedule is up. 3 different pools. I got Express in the 'Command' pool. T9-1 in 'NexGen' pool and Hawks in 'Raid' pool. Although NexGen is the smallest pool, it may be the toughest.
Hawks runs Raid, easily.
91NY, BLC or Lax Nexgen (coin-toss)
Express, PrimeTime or 91MD Command

Which 91 team is supposed to be the better and the same for Express?

Bottom line is that the current best teams in Maryland can not compete against best teams on LI when there is an age limit.
No one disputes this, It is a shame, as in years pass MD could compete with age restrictions. No more.
Maryland teams don't think it's worth the hassle to kick 3 or 4 kids off the team and have tryouts to replace them for one weak tournament on the other side of the country. That is why NONE of the top 5 Maryland teams are going to Denver. Have fun playing a bunch of scrubs and a couple good LI teams. See you at the Millon tournament for a real National championship.

I think it's embarrassing to admit how badly you have to cheat to compete. Changing the roster would show that it's not just 3 or 4 kids. This way you can keep hiding the truth.
Hiding the truth' You sound stupid and bitter. Do you not think that every league and tournament has to have a roster check with verified age and grade for each club. These teams all play within the rules of every game they play.Thats why the new age cut off for WSYL prevents the few kids and teams from playing. These teams are not cutting or dropping these kids from the team or recruiting new players or bringing players down like most teams are to make the cut. Please stop with Maryland teams are all cheaters - by the way those top Md teams will be in LI next week and everywhere else this summer LI teams will be.
You pick the obvious favorites. Don't bet on March Madness, as you would be a loser every year. Express & Hawks are among the top teams in the country. Clearly, Command is the strongest division. NexGen is completely stacked for 91, so that they are set up for what is believed to be an east path. Little does Sal & Josh know, but BLC & Laxachusetts will be challenging. Hawks win Raid easily. Igloo not invited to this party.
the physical maturity of igloo's 2021 team players who were recruited to arctic blast will also be clear to everyone as well. let's see if the second time is a charm for igloo's rising 9th graders who played in the world series last year with black ice. maybe those players can be personal tour guides for all boys who will be experiencing the event for the first time and the announcers will have already practiced pronouncing their names. take pictures and bring back souvenirs for the boys who were excluded from this opportunity. keep rationalizing it and maybe you will overcome your moral conscience.
my kid earned his spot by working his [lacrosse] off. my moral conscience is just fine, thanks
totally agree that it is wrong to exclude players who made the arctic blast team this year. those kids earned their spots, are committed to the team, worked hard, paid, etc. unjustifiable to be alienated from the team and denied the opportunity to play in wsyl.
You are asking those kids that made the team to spend all that time and money getting to Denver without the best possible team. Why would they do that?
Clearly you fail to understand the concept of team. Let's try another approach. No kid left behind? Now do you get it? Arctic Ice is a team and Igloo chose to drop players from the team so that they could bring older players from Black Ice. Simply, that is wrong. May work for the specific WSYL tournament rules, but it is not right for the boys who were rejected.

MD teams play down, always have always will! Cannot compete on age and never could. Going back to when MD teams were U based. U13 U15 etc. When playing in grade based tournaments they always played in the younger grade brackets. Now all your best teams are loaded with older kids. No big deal, our kids like playing up it makes them better. The number of MD D1 commits continues to decline and LI and NY hold steady. Don't forget to bring Jr's electric razor, you want him clean shaven so he looks younger, and don't forget his license. You wouldn't want him to get pulled over while driving to the next tourney.

This is not the military, this is competitive sports. Rejection sucks and I have sympathy for how you and your son are feeling being left out. I have been in both positions. The problem is that if the club does not take the best team then the best players will go to a club that will. You are asking for blind loyalty and in theory I like your way better. Get a nice group of boys together and stay together and have fun and learn some things. But it gets very frustrating for the elite players when they know that with a few changes they could win it all. And it's stupid for a club to not give those kids a serious chance to win with the best players because they cannot afford to lose those kids. Winning draws talent, it's the way it is.
The Millon championship will show who has the best teams. Young guns and wsyl split the best teams this year so now neither is a top tournament. NLF not too bad this weekend, but missing igloo.

I love how the Long Island dads love to whine and complain about Maryland teams cheating because they might have 3 to 5 kids with summer birthdays. But the leagues and tournaments are all grade based (which Long Island clubs went to first) so there is no cheating, the teams are just being fielded to make the best team out of the players that try out within the rules of the leagues and tournaments. Now there is a tournament that is age based and the Long Island teams fielded the best team to win that one tournament, saying they have to pick the best team to be competitive and they are just picking the best kids that try out within the rules. I've got no problem with that, just don't go from being the biggest whiners to the biggest hypocrites. So no more saying the Maryland teams aren't at WSYL because of holdbacks and can't compete without those couple of kids. It's just most Maryland teams chose not to make a special team for one event (which changed the rules after tryouts for most clubs were concluded, if WSYL kept the rules from last year the teams would be eligible) and leave behind a couple of kids. So here's to a summer of no excuses regardless of the tournament. If you think a team is cheating, ask for a roster check (which includes birthdays) rather than making up lies about kids being 2 years older or driving (it's gotten old and it's wrong to make up lies about kids), otherwise just let the kids play the game.

New [lacrosse] actually is 3.3 times the size of Maryland by population.
Looking at the two best teams in the country.
Maryland Terps are 28% Maryland kids and 20% New [lacrosse] kids
Ohio State is 16% Maryland kids and 13% New [lacrosse] kids
Maryland had 4 teams in the NCAA tourney
New [lacrosse] had 2 teams in the NCAA tourney
Looks like MD is doing pretty well with only 1/3 the kids NY has.

Question: 1 + 1 = ?
Seriously- look at the university of MD roster. Most of the team not even from MD. Do your research before you open your mouth
Take another look, use your fingers to count and shut your trap.
It's just there best players are from Philly...
It's just there best players are from Philly...
So your argument would be based more on a qualitative position. Appears to be 3 players from PA (not Philly).
It's just there best players are from Philly...
Or Canada. Not NY though
Seriously- look at the university of MD roster. Most of the team not even from MD. Do your research before you open your mouth
Correct - only 28% are from MD. If it were 50% or higher then most would be from MD.

Population statistics for NY are overwhelmingly high due to NYC - with that five boroughs of NYC, lax a sport is either unavailable or sparingly played. If you want to do a more appropriate population analysis, take the populations of all other NYS counties - IE, exclude the boroughs of NY, ~40% of NYS' popu;ation - and then let us know what that says.
Marksberry is the top ny 9d1 team and Campbell is the other. Both are very good.
What would the rankings be for the coaching staff for the top LI teams?

I guess that is why we never hear from the smash these nuts guy? I miss his comments

Last year they had Smash and united - two great teams. They tried to combine them to make a super team, but wound up losIng a lot of kids in the process. So Smash and united became AA and A.

If you had to create a top 10 national ranking of 2022 clubs, would it be all LI and MD teams?
Greyhounds from Richmond beat up on LI Express - Chaney in the Fall at Petro's event and playing at national championship. 1-2 teams from VA, PA. Upstate NY kids don't travel as parents not as psycho, but routinely prove talent is top notch (Cuse area and Rochester). Will see If Texas Mustangs can hang with the NLF crew this weekend. Soco Express sound legit and Maddog west. Colorado tough to judge, but some solid pockets. Anyone know anything about Laxachussets 2022, Palm Beach Revolution or BBL, 3D NE?

Those rankings are a joke based on how wsyl teams did in their qualifiers. They did not take into account how crappy the competition was at some of the qualifiers. The LI teams should all be at the top of the list, then everyone else. None of the top MD teams were at the qualifier and Diamondbacks were the only AA team present, so no wonder they blew everyone out.
I hope the $7k entry fee and $60,000+in travel expenses are worth playing 3 competitive games against your neighbors in a cool stadium.

You paid to be on tv. Make the most of it. Ratings and ticket sales sure aren't footing The bill.
I paid to have a good experience with my Son and the families on his team. If the team is on TV that is just a bonus.
The other Maryland AA teams have to many holdbacks they can't qualify .Those teams aren't good without their holdbacks . Here comes the Maryland teams excuses...

Not going, but it's puzzling how people care how others spend their money. Heard nothing but good things about the trip. Btw, if you haven't heard it's age based, not grade, so don't whine because a team is playing by the rules.
So I noticed that Empire Black is in the "A" division for the Lax Fest. I also noticed that last weekend they were in the B division in the Summer Face Off. Well Empire is back up to there old tricks and yes they LOST to B team so they are still mediocre at best!!!

Maybe the other 90% should be playing age based . . . ?
when will lax fest schedules be out

Age based is the only rational way to organize youth sports. I have never heard a cogent argument in favor of grade based.

You guys are a bunch of wusses, so what are kids are 1 or 2 years older get over it.

Says the guy who has no clue about the huge differences in athletic ability in even just 6 months at this age. If it didn't make such a difference, then there wouldn't be holdbacks et al.

What do you think the 85% of kids playing in Maryland have to deal with?

The lack of self awareness is staggering.... there is nothing "wussier" than playing against younger kids. And then to brag about your team or child like they're the best at lacrosse takes a extra dose of stupidity.
You people are all a pack of losers! Your talking about 13 year old kids ! Its really sad that you people put this much stock in lacrosse. 90% of your kids will not get a scholarship and if he does it won't pay for the books. A professional lacrosse player makes less money than a 16 year old kid working a 7-11. Honestly you people really need a hobby !!!!!
Well said. But I bet he won't get it.
why do we debate this like a bunch of fools? the only ones with the power to change it are the clubs and they aren't. what if the major li clubs and a an org like the nlf decided no more grade, age based to 15 and then they are in hs and can participate as jv and varsity. the debate would end and never be spoken of again. because every club and tourney would fall in line. but wishful thinking....
this link has an age table based on birth month. it makes so much sense. but with tryouts announced already, nothing changing anytime soon. so stop blaming each other, the clubs have the tools at their disposal to clean this up. us lacrosse took the first step, can't say they didn't respond.
https://www.uslacrosse.org/sites/default/files/public/documents/rules/age-group-chart-090116.pdflove to hear everyone's thoughts on this. try and keep the stupid to less than 3. lol
Is any 2022 team going to Denver that is the same team that plays all year?
9D1

Same for Express
Express has older players that didn't qualify for wsyl. Starting with fogo. So it's not the same team. Kid takes EVERY faceoff at every other tournament they play in.
Express loses to T9-1MD
9-1 loses to laxachusettes
T91 Md loses to Texas
Laxacussets loses to Bethesda
T91 Md loses to Texas
Laxacussets loses to Bethesda
Doesn't make a difference 6 get into the winners bracket. BLC, Hawks, Mesa, and Laxachusetts should make it. Then that top divison will have a 3 way tie between (express v Crabs winner and the other two 3-1 teams which will be 91MD and the Mustangs.) There could be no LI team in the final 6.
True Blue parents, here's a tid bit. You win a no name tournament or tournaments and beat your chest while claiming you are an A team. Until you play Igloo A and B, Express, 9D1, Outlaws Select and Gold, you are not an A team. You should have been playing in the B bracket today with the rest of us. My money would have been on Outlaws Gold for sure.

Bethesda and Crabs out
bethesda beat laxachusettes but are left out- goal dif >head to head it appears

why do you hate True Blue
Fat Crab taking the lead on moving to age based. Ha! The whole Crabs model is built on reclassing kids. He had bad spring when they ended early recruiting - going age based might just kill his "not profit" business. Won't happen.
no igloo ! 90+1 not best on LI
Not a True Blue hater in general. Just tired of some local daddy's who run their voices to who ever will listen this team is the next 9D1, Express, etc. and can compete with the true A teams in Long Island. Some of the better players left this team and moved on to better B Teams.
Hawks playing 22 with roster of 10th graders. So sick of the cheating in this sport!
no igloo ! 90+1 not best on LI
True, but it's the best until Young Guns and Millon Championship. Hawks the better team today.

Sachem rising. Do yourselves a favor and don't enter B level travel tournaments.its way above your league
no igloo ! 90+1 not best on LI
Igloo get any better playing in tournaments like that?
Sorry, Igloo will never be part of NLF
In the super semi's I though the smaller field helped 9D1LI over the faster 9D1MD. 9D1LI no match for Hawks on the bigger field.

Congratulations to the Hawks, the top team this weekend. An already great team, the boys have improved and are playing at an even higher level to start the summer. Express looks forward to future competition with your team.

BBL still rocking those three 9th graders. Silly,
Oh stop your whining you ran the tournament which gave lane choice and picked smaller fields to help advance . That being said 9D1 A beat this Hawks team in John Carrol last year. So lets see whats different bigger yes, better B/N the pipes yes yes slower yes yes yes and finally added 9D1 B coach from last year who still has no answer for a big boy field . Hawks better

False - sore loser. #11 on 9-1 and the goalie on the Express were bigger than any Hawk.

In 7th grade, but how many should be in 8th if we are being honest. Plenty of ex 2021s on that team.

Embarrassed? Grow up!!! The smaller, younger 9d1 team played hard in their 4th game of the day. They left the field with their heads high and look forward to a great year of lax. The NLF tournament was a high end competitive event with a ton of 2022 talent. Hawks were clearly the best of breed. Let see what happens in MD

You should play rec if you really feel that way. Those are the rules they use.
That's why most of the top MD can't go to WYSL they are to old . They will say it's not a good tournament but it's because half the players can't qualify because they are to old . Baltimore is the melting pot of HOLDBACKS ..
Those 4 Should be in 8th grade then-CHEATER
Not in MD.,

Grade based tourney, get over it. Clubs have the power to change this and they seem reluctant to, but they travel to Denver to play age based.

The 91 coaches should be embarrassed, the way they manipulated these brackets. Laughable draw for their team. Weak, pathetic and shameful
Really 9D1 smaller oh maybe your talking about the coach on the side line. Open your eye's.
Anyone who holds their kid back before Kindergarten reg. other than for scholastic reasons is a 'Cheater'. Pure and simple. Can NEVER be fully trusted.
And believe me, their close circle of so called friends (and town) know this. And if you don't think people don't talk about these parents behind their backs, they do. And it's usually not positive.

The blame should be placed on colleges. They wanted to see the kids broken down by graduation year for evaluating their incoming classes. Before the new NCAA rule, this would have applied directly to the 2021s and 2022s a lot this summer. Now that it is pointless to look at a kid until after their sophomore year, there is no longer any reason to use graduation years for middle schoolers or even freshmen. Let's hope the clubs do the right thing and institute the 9/1 cutoff for each year.
The two teams at NLF with the biggest kids were Laxachsettes and Mustangs. Tough teams you really had to work hard against.

No crying here! More like celebrating a well earned win in our tournament. Traffic – none. Stop justifying your losses. We had a great time at our tournament by the way
This grade has tons of great teams, coaches and players. No one should be embarrassed on how they played. The parents from all the teams were great. There was, and is, a lot of high level competition in this grade. Hawks were clearly the best team this weekend but it is a long summer and many tournaments to play. MD teams, LI teams and the other teams from around the country played their butts off and it was fun to see. Good luck to all the teams the rest of the summer. It should be fun to watch.

They really did a great job of Manipulating the Brackets - playing Laxachussetts first and losing and also including BLC in there bracket who beat Laxachussetts. Then the manipulated the playoffs by playing T91 MD who beat LI Express by 2 in pool play. Express and 91 Brackets were tough. Hawks had the easiest Bracket.
Lot of great lax this weekend and this age group is deep. A couple of more Faceoffs won a few less penalties and I think anyone of these teams could have one; 91md, 91, Express, Crabs, TX Mustangs, BLC, Laxachusetts and obviously the Hawks.
Should e a great summer. Enjoy these next couple of years because they will go fast.

Clearly somebody cares enough to start bashing a team that was not invited to a tournament and do not care that they weren't invited. Obviously you care enough to respond
Igloo's play on the field has NOTHING to do with why they were not invited, they are simply no aligned with NLF. NLF can lick the bottom of my shoes...
Really? Doesn't sound like BBL's style. Who are the 8th graders on BBL 2022?
Igloo has beat most of the teams in your precious NLF just not invited cause of politics which is a shame all top teams should be able to compete in any tourny
As far as tournament go, NLF could have spent some of the tourney fees on endline balls, scorers tables, and clock management personnel. It would have been nice to let the refs know the rule quirks ahead of time also.

Really surprised at all the flags thrown. LI had the reputation of letting the kids be a little rough., but this weekend every time a stick barely glanced a helmet, a flag was thrown. I'm used to flags only being thrown if the head reacts as if there was some sign of impact. At least they were consistent.

Bravo LI Knights!!!!! Slowly building a strong team and organization over the years. They belong in the A division what a great way to build your organization and attract talent!!!!!!
True Blue parents, here's a tid bit. You win a no name tournament or tournaments and beat your chest while claiming you are an A team. Until you play Igloo A and B, Express, 9D1, Outlaws Select and Gold, you are not an A team. You should have been playing in the B bracket today with the rest of us. My money would have been on Outlaws Gold for sure.
why do you hate True Blue
That's funny. Outlaws Gold stinks, notice they get the weaker teams perfectly picked since they sponsor the tournament. They get there A$$ kicked my Millon every time they play. Millon is a solid B team nothing more. Outlaws are not even a B team !
not true. 91 and crabs are the most disliked. Dam we finished 3rd. Need to work harder.

WOW. Statements like that just prove how bitter and low you are. People like you are the ones you can never be trusted or liked by anyone. Talking behind peoples back and calling kids cheaters on an anonymous site speaks volumes for you and who you really are. The landscape of lacrosse has its flaws. Coaches still coach , players still play. NLF was evenly matched and had huge kids and tiny kids on every single team. Pretty sure the coaches and players did not complain. Only sore loser daddies. It sure has [lacrosse] doesn't need cowards like you in the sport at all . Take little johnny and go play tennis. Excuses,excuses, excuses is all he hears from daddy.

Didn't they come in last at the world series qualifier?
Igloo the last team to beat the Hawks?
How is Igloo 6 when they weren't even in the tournament?
True Blue and Dark Knights both registered in A in Li Laxfest but changed to B
Scared Yes they are
Lets go win the B lets not change our kids

Why does he try out for a team he has no interest in playing for?
How is Igloo 6 when they weren't even in the tournament?
Because their 2022-only team has lost only once this year to Express Channy. They went to MD and beat Hawks and they've beaten Channy and other top teams several times this year.
Igloo the last team to beat the Hawks?
T9-1MD beat them Indoor over the winter at NXT.

Anyone who holds their kid back before Kindergarten reg. other than for scholastic reasons is a 'Cheater'. Pure and simple. Can NEVER be fully trusted.
And believe me, their close circle of so called friends (and town) know this. And if you don't think people don't talk about these parents behind their backs, they do. And it's usually not positive.
WOW. Statements like that just prove how bitter and low you are. People like you are the ones you can never be trusted or liked by anyone. Talking behind peoples back and calling kids cheaters on an anonymous site speaks volumes for you and who you really are. The landscape of lacrosse has its flaws. Coaches still coach , players still play. NLF was evenly matched and had huge kids and tiny kids on every single team. Pretty sure the coaches and players did not complain. Only sore loser daddies. It sure has [lacrosse] doesn't need cowards like you in the sport at all . Take little johnny and go play tennis. Excuses,excuses, excuses is all he hears from daddy.
Hawks 18-Diamonbags 6. Silly troll!!!
Hahaha I agree, as many parents do with the prior poster saying holding back a child prior to kindergarten is unethical when doing it strictly for athletic reasons. Looks like you may be one of these cheaters. Oh, and the post didn't say the kids where cheaters. Said the parents were. You must be very proud of yourselves.

Madlax, Diamondbacks, Crabs, and FCA are probably in the 10-20 range. All had even or losing records in hoco.
not true. 91 and crabs are the most disliked. Dam we finished 3rd. Need to work harder.
having your A team beat up on your B team should move you up quickly
Good thing we won't see you at try-outs - we are way tougher than that - go cry somewhere else!
Tough, Igloo is not.
Wanna bet?
not going to make a donation to the igloo organization when we know try outs are a joke and teams are set already ! or wait did you not get your call yet ?
indoor, winter. please. Stop grasping...
MD/DC is the best area for top teams and is certainly stronger now at this age than NY/LI.
True Blue and Dark Knights both registered in A in Li Laxfest but changed to B
Scared Yes they are
Lets go win the B lets not change our kids
WEAK WEAK WEAK
I agree ! weak move. If your an A team in one tournament and win it you should play A in all tournaments !
MD/DC is the best area for top teams and is certainly stronger now at this age than NY/LI.
You mean "at this grade" - before we start the 136th episode of "holdback whining." MD/DC may have more depth but the top several teams in LI are just as good as the top teams anywhere.
Lets see next week when they Play A Teams
Bravo LI Knights!!!!! Slowly building a strong team and organization over the years. They belong in the A division what a great way to build your organization and attract talent!!!!!!
'
They just bailed on the A division for LI Laxfest ! I would be embarrassed if I were a parent on this team ! Super Lame jumping to the B division when you just won an A division Tournament !
MD/DC is the best area for top teams and is certainly stronger now at this age than NY/LI.
Too soon to tell if this is true but what can be said for certain is the MD/DC teams are good teams for this " grade" but you are wrong when you say for this " age". We all know why.
At this age or this grade? Big difference

And believe me, their close circle of so called friends (and town) know this. And if you don't think people don't talk about these parents behind their backs, they do. And it's usually not positive.
So your excuse as to why your kid's team lost is that people are cheating and planned this out 8 years ago by holding their kid back? And that these people started their kid late in kindergarten purely for lacrosse? And they had the foresight to know that youth club lacrosse was going to go grade based in Long Island and trickle down to MD? All this after their kid might have played 1 season of rec lacrosse? And these parents would all come together to put their kids on the same team (since the MD teams are all holdbacks)? All so they could be on a winning team 8 years later in 7th grade? I think you win the conspiracy theory game.
That's funny, my son plays on outlaws gold and every year he tryed out for true blue he makes the A team. He doesn't want to play for the bubble head twins!
Who are the bubble head twins??
May
Bubble Head Twins....That's Funny!!! I heard them called a lot of things but not that. Maybe now that they moved their team into a B division they can stop telling the parents that they are an A team. And the parents can stop bragging that they are an A team!!! I'm friends with some of the families on that team and I keep telling them that if they want to be an A team you have to play the top teams, compete with them and beat some of them. I sent a text to them earlier and nothing but crickets!!!!! I cant wait to see the Bubble Head himself and ask what happened!!!!!!! Oh they got spanked by the Knights last Sunday and this weekend would have been worse!! Would have killed the coaches Ego!!!!

If any of the 3 teams that were moved to the B bracket win the tournament, then they should have stayed in the A division. If they don't, then the B division is where they belong
The Forsberg was a B/C tournament none of the big teams were there
Even the Outlaws Select played in a more talented tournament

NLF had 2 md teams and 2 LI teams in final 4 and md vs LI in championship. Both areas have great evenly matched teams.
Igloo the last team to beat the Hawks?
T9-1MD beat them Indoor over the winter at NXT.
Express and Igloo beat Hawks in same Tourney (Battle on the Bay) in the Fall.

No one has a full team at fall ball events.

Don't feed the fat penguIn.
MD/DC is the best area for top teams and is certainly stronger now at this age than NY/LI.
We will see at the WSYL who has the best players on age. My Guess is LI will have 3 teams in the semi-finals.

Yes you did but we didn't have our holdbacks, I mean older players, I mean our whole team wasn't there.
Not a problem if your kid is one of the 85% younger and more than holding your own. We keep telling you that instead of complaining you need to spend more time working with poor little Johnny, but you cant stop crying long enough to help him raise his game.
After they do that, tell them to invest in a few sore and time keepers.
BLC killed 90+1 MD in spring league, so might wanna bump them up to top 5.

None of the top MD teams are going to wsyl. LI teams changed their lineups just so that they could go. Winning wsyl is as prestigious as winning beachlax this year. Millon championship is the only real championship this year.

Not True - the whole 91 team that made it to the finals of NLF is going and 95% of Express is going. Igloo and leggeec have different teams for WSYL.

it has nothing to do with that. If you are calling yourself an A team you play in the A bracket. Outlaws Select play in the A bracket . They win some lose some but play where they should be playing. You will never get better being an A team and beating up on B teams !!!!

Iglooooo bringing 8th gradrs to WSYL anything to win.
Why does it bother you what True Blue does
Or better yet why do you care? Were you hoping to play them for an easy win? If the super teams consider themselves AA teams them maybe TB is an A team. If rose teams are the A teams then TB is a B team. But don't let it keep you up at night
guys and Girls - there is no longer a true championship to these teams the water has been muddied.

You guy are a bunch of b******!!!!!
In Maryland it like the wild west.
Igloo playing by the rules at WSYL.
At the Millon tournament players will be coming in from
All over the country to play on your Maryland teams.
Iglooooo bringing 8th gradrs to WSYL anything to win.
using the word "grade" for this tournament = idiot
Iglooooo bringing 8th gradrs to WSYL anything to win.
imagine your Son has been playing with Igloo for years and this year he is looking forward to going to WSYL and he is told he can not go because a young 8th grader is taking his spot - Stay Classy AA
Iglooooo bringing 8th gradrs to WSYL anything to win.
It's age based in case you didn't hear. That means some kids might be young 8th graders. In fact, all clubs should just have a wysl team, apart from the grade based team. Maybe that will reduce the whinning a little.

Every tournament has to show Proof of age and grade!
Ask for a roster check form your coach and he can get one for every team entered in any tournament.
Coaches and teams can have access to all that information .

Other than WYSL, what tournaments require proof of age or anything else??! My sons' club doesn't even have that info - with 3 boys going through travel lax, with at least 4+ different organizations, I can say that I have never provided any of that info to them - all they have is my sons' USL #, and I highly doubt they do anything more with that other than verify that it is valid, and I doubt USL has more than the DOB provided to them, maybe validated against a Birth Cert if you sent it into them. No tournament paperwork I've been asked to submit as a parent has been anything other than a waiver - no proof of anything required. The whole non-WYSL tournament scene is the the honor system, thus the wild west.

'They' Who is they? Everyone except LI teams? Its funny you act like every team is just cheating. There is 20 teams signed up for MM tournament from all over the country and all have agreed to the rules and outlines provided. Just like all MD teams had tryouts and follow all rules and outlines provided by the leagues they play in..WSYL changed the script after all teams were set. Hence the MD teams not going . Please stop talking [lacrosse] when your own towns don't get along and cut kids just so they can go to WSYL. LI doesn't even invite the best team(Igloo) to play in the best tournament they hold all year. Express had 40 kids on sideline and played 10 all weekend. Every team there was just as big as the next. It was very good competition. Wait, didn't MD9-1 lose to NY9-1 too . You might want to stay home the rest of the summer cause it sounds like you will cry and whine after every tournament. Unless you happen to win one.

I have never provided proof of anything either and have seen numerous people claim to use fake USL #'s to avoid the fees. USL asked for birth certificates but like everything else in Lacrosse it was only a suggestion. I am beginning to think this might be the way to go because what exactly am I paying for? It's every man for himself with no oversight or real safety rules in place.

You do realize in the grand scheme of things, this "championship" is as meaningless as the next youth tourney. You think Matt Rambo is going to tell his kids about the national championship he won as an eighth grader? If it isn't enjoyable because you feel disadvantaged, then why come? Get with you club director next year and tell them you only want to play on the island. At some point, you will have to come to terms with the fact that your kid will be competing for a limited number of spots in college recruiting classes with kids a year or more older. Call them what you want, but the coaches simply call them assets to their team if they are good enough whether they are hold backs or not.

You think Matt Rambo is going to tell his kids about the national championship he won as an eighth grader? If it isn't enjoyable because you feel disadvantaged, then why come? Get with you club director next year and tell them you only want to play on the island. At some point, you will have to come to terms with the fact that your kid will be competing for a limited number of spots in college recruiting classes with kids a year or more older. Call them what you want, but the coaches simply call them assets to their team if they are good enough whether they are hold backs or not.
Did you just really compare youth sports with college? Is that really your argument? Of course when they are older then the only thing that will matter will be ability! That does not negate the basic point that there is a huge disparity in size due to puberty during these years. And that kids that cannot compete on age should not be allowed to use the school system to manipulate the playing field for everyone. There is a disadvantage or else why do you do it? You don't need to worry about it being enjoyable for me or not, nothing that you say about me feeling disadvantaged or not enjoying the competition really addresses the issue. You are bringing up things that have nothing to do with the problem of there not being an even playing field for many of our youth. It will change so enjoy it while you can.
guys and Girls - there is no longer a true championship to these teams the water has been muddied.
There is no league with unified rules so stop trying to compare each other.
The different game have their own championships and the winners of both are talented players. But what they mean vs each other nothing.
Regardless of age rules the top teams are paying at Millon championships and lots of top teams are skipping wsyl and young guns this year.

Collin Heacock (Matt's MD teammate) was asked prior to this season what his favorite lacrosse memory was and he said it was when his RoughRider team beat the Crabs to win an event like this. I would imagine winning NCAA is now his #1 memory, but these events have a big impact on kids for the rest of their lives.

Extremely sensible perspective
Simply question to all
Which would you choose age based U9, U10, U11, etc, etc, or grade based?
I would prefer age up to U15.

Age based - it's not even really debatable. I'm sure someone advocating for grade based will make an argument, but any such arguments are vastly inferior to age based.
millon should post rosters and ages for all teams for his tourney ,teams are still gonna play just would be nice to see what ages are include in 2022 group

Let's hear those arguments and make this productive. Because I agree with you, but would love hear a rationale for grade.
No insults please - everyone is entitled to their opinion.

AHHHHHH WRONGGGGG get facts straight
Guys and girls about WSYL how many of the Legacy team are in HS now, face it, there will always be those that are younger for their grade that will be of age for this. in this game they will be the oldest for the first time in their lives.
If it is that controversial, why play in it? Get together with the other LI teams and start a league, make it age based. Then no complaints right? Don't pay for tournaments you feel are rigged.

Well your solution is way better, come on BOTC and complain repeatedly while doing nothing. Good job! Keep at it, it will surely change, everyone is listening and will soon comply to your sour grapes on BOTC.
Why isn't igloo doing LI Laxfest? Are they avoiding Express and 9-1?
Igloo the last team to beat the Hawks?
T9-1MD beat them Indoor over the winter at NXT.
Express and Igloo beat Hawks in same Tourney (Battle on the Bay) in the Fall.
No one has a full team at fall ball events.
Freedom beat Hawks in spring scrimmage.

They don't have 7 players from Black Ice. Three at the very most. And for the 100th time, WSYL is a U tournament. Grade is irrelevant.
NICE...now we are putting credibility to a play-date scrimmage. Just to give full context, Hawks beat Freedom 13-2 in early spring tournament at Hopkins in a "real-game". Either way, the teams continue to change, the boys continue to grow and mature at varying times, and most of all THEY ARE 7th GRADERS THAT HAVE A LOVE FOR THE GAME! It doesn't really matter, these teams are only as good as your last tournament!

Hey, cry baby, I put forth a legitimate solution. Create a league of Long Island travel teams. Have them play each other every week locally. You don't like it, you're doing nothing you whiny squat. What a complete jerk you are. Keep pissing and moaning on here squatter, nothing will change because no one listens to whiny little sissys.
we already beat them up. next.

Why isn't igloo doing LI Laxfest? Are they avoiding Express and 9-1?
Nobody is doing L.I. Lack-fest this year -- just the two 9d1 teams, Channy and Outlaws. Looks like that "clear sky rainout" from two years ago has finally had its impact. Most of the top 2022 East Coast teams are at the HHH in Philly this year. Zummo and AA have their boys at other tournaments before taking the corporate jets to Denver.

How about you put your own league together, we'll call it "snowflake kids who are afraid of kids their own age". But then your kid would be on the bench....
Which LI clubs are coming down to Philly this weekend to get beat on by MD teams?
This weekend is the LI Laxfest.
Waaaaa, hold back, waaaaa, he's older. Quit your pissing and moaning and just play! Pansies

Best of LI at Lack-fest. Best of everywhere else at Big 4HHH in philly. Can't fault those guys for not driving off the island every weekend.

When is playing by the rules unfair - jackass
A couple weeks ago, Blatant tourney Igloo B beat Outlaws Select in a braveheart and beat Express Channy in the same tourney, but lost only 3-6 to them again in the finals. You can check on tourney machine if you need proof that igloo B can play.

Starting line of Channy wasn't playing that day. They were playing in Florida
We will find out if Igloo B can play tomorrow, they are in a tournament, in the A division with only 4 teams.
So why aren't they at Laxfest then?

Good thing you have 50 players on the team!!!
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses, so no one on the Express channy long bench can cover the starting line down in Florida? Boo hoo, face it, lost is still a lost! Stop your crying and beat it!

Does anybody see the schedule at Farmingdale today
Outlaws Play at 1 / 353 then if in playoff 630
Nin d 1 plays one game at 520- then playoffs
this is complete BS my schedule makers
But what else would you expect- they are Team nin d 1

Your only complaint should be with your club, they entered your son's team. I was out at Lehigh yesterday and that was the best run tournament I have ever been to. Great facilities, extremely organized, well officiated, etc, etc.
It's a 90+1 tourney. That's why they switched their first game from playing against Express to playing Outlaws. Gotta collect the t-shirt

Does anybody know we're the 2 2022 91 teams practice?
Did igloo bring their 8th graders to beat up on the B teams at strong island? Classy.
Igloo brought all their teams to sweep strong island played small teams instead of going to play at lax fest and have competition Alexander is a master mind and laughing all the way to the bank

Surprisingly SuperStar pushed Igloo to the limit twice only winning by 1 and 2. May be igloo is overrated.
Express beat 91 8-4. Controlled the whole game. Never really in doubt. In the semi's 91AA over 91A. Other semi was express over outlaws 5-4 in the best game of the tournament. Both teams played great.
Does anyone know the semis and finals scores? Tourney Machine seems to have crapped out with that bracket.

Its what we called protest of a tournament that doesn't refund their money back when they cancel the 2nd half of a tournament on a bright. sunny day.
yes LOL that always happens, but best game yesterday was Channy vs empire surprisingly.
Knights played in B bracket and nearly lost to C level opponents. Then were devastated by Tri-State 9-1
They backed into playoffs playing a very C schedule. And then got there [lacrosse]es handed to them by GC34. in last 2 games they were outscored 14-3
True Blue and Dark Knights both registered in A in Li Laxfest but changed to B
Scared Yes they are
Lets go win the B lets not change our kids
WEAK WEAK WEAK
I agree ! weak move. If your an A team in one tournament and win it you should play A in all tournaments !
If any of the 3 teams that were moved to the B bracket win the tournament, then they should have stayed in the A division. If they don't, then the B division is where they belong
The Forsberg was a B/C tournament none of the big teams were there
Even the Outlaws Select played in a more talented tournament
it has nothing to do with that. If you are calling yourself an A team you play in the A bracket. Outlaws Select play in the A bracket . They win some lose some but play where they should be playing. You will never get better being an A team and beating up on B teams !!!!

Good thing these teams moved they did not even compete in B Bracket.
Gee thanks GC parent remember your commenting on BEE division like we care
Coincidence that tourney machine crapped out in the final that 91 lost... Congratulations Express
Score?
Very suspicious how this happens to a lot of T9-1 playoff games.
Should have stuck around empire daddy, you missed best game. Express over outlaws 5-4 in semi's. Express dad here.

that was 2 years ago get over it !! protesting what losers .. more like afraid to play real teams so go in a weak tourney and win you claim to be the best then go and play b and c teams and then brag about winning
Express beat 91 8-4. Controlled the whole game. Never really in doubt. In the semi's 91AA over 91A. Other semi was express over outlaws 5-4 in the best game of the tournament. Both teams played great.
Express played great and absolutely controlled the 2nd half of the game. I think there was some doubt when the score was 3 - 1 91 before express took control of the faceoff X.
Nice try Outlaws daddy score was close but not better game.
Hey Express Dad I saw all games Channy/ Empire was best game and then Outlaws/channy. Channy 91 Champ game a let down!
Superstar played the Igloo 2nd team
You brought it up..didnt see any comments about Igloo winning anything?
Can 90+1 arrange schedule to make finals at DENVER that's the question?
Hey 9-one daddy. Stop putting it on 1 player. Kid works hard and competes. As does all Fogo athletes. Win and lose as a team. Great game, parents well behaved and boys are at the top of their class. Enjoy. The recruiting pushed back. So, the boys are having fun and the parents have time for a deep breath. 2022 loaded with great talent.
Great comments, agree 2022 is loaded and they're 7th graders.
Which Igloo team is going to Denver?
Are teams going to WSYL age 13 early 14 or is there 15 year olds on teams??
Are teams going to WSYL age 13 early 14 or is there 15 year olds on teams??
13/12 year old kids. cut off is 9/1/2003.
You have got to be the same guy that keeps bringing this crap up. Either a slighted parent or just a total trouble making a loser. Get a life
Both Canadian teams will be very strong.
Both Canadian teams will be very strong
Evolve Canada very strong
Can 90+1 arrange schedule to make finals at DENVER that's the question?
Probably can.
Did igloo bring their 8th graders to beat up on the B teams at strong island? Classy.
I just checked tourney machine. 2023 is the graduating class after 2022. Currently 6th graders not 8th graders.
Although a little confusing by the way the brackets are listed. I think 2022A played in the 2021A bracket, 2022B played in the 2022A bracket and the team you thought was 8 th graders 2023A played up in the 2022B bracket. Either way 6 th grade not 8. Still weak tournament

Although a little confusing by the way the brackets are listed. I think 2022A played in the 2021A bracket, 2022B played in the 2022A bracket and the team you thought was 8 th graders 2023A played up in the 2022B bracket. Either way 6 th grade not 8. Still weak tournament
I was at Strong Island with one of my kids - Igloo basically had their top teams play up age wise. For instance their top 2023 team played in 2022 B.
Igloo outclassed mostly everyone at the tournament. It was a nice tournament, just mostly not teams that can play with Igloo's top teams. Igloo should have just sent their B teams. But looking at their website, they didn't list this tournament on their schedule, so this was probably just something they added for a free weekend in their backyard. The 2023A team looked like 6th graders to me - they just play at such a high level people probably assume they are older.
I didn't see where the 2024A team played just there 2024 B team

Sachem rising. Do yourselves a favor and don't enter B level travel tournaments.its way above your league
Kids were put in a bad position. Mostly 6th graders. Former coach entered them in tournaments they shouldn't be in.

Daddy ball kids and other non athletic 2023 Igloo kids. They seem more like a bunch of goof balls under AA's headless horsemen. Keep funding black ice because its all over after kid graduates.

Not to be rude but you checked tourney. If not listed didn't play or maybe post in 2024 thread. Only reason 2023 is mentioned on this thread is some idiot thought 2023 was 8 th grade not 6th.

You are a fool. igloo has the top 2021 team, the top 2022 team, the second best 2023 team etc. Good balls? Like Cromwell who is head coach st Manhasset? And assistant coach of the lizards? You are a tool.

You are quite possibly the biggest do#ch@bag in the world
True Blue played worse than Vipers. Again I say, stop telling everyone that you are an A Team. Sorry True Blue, you are the bottom of the B Bracket so face it.
So True Blue is a B team. Why are you so obsessed with this.

No ones even arguing that about this age. That's why their in a B bracket. I'm not a parent of True Blue but it's fair to say the younger teams are A teams. Also some of the older ones too. I have some friends on the teams and they love it.

Stop it - that doesn't mesh with the whole elitist lax mentality! Only those self-anointed teams get to decide where the line is between A and B!
Sure, as a parent I really want crazies like you with that additional information. And you might want to take look at Millon's rules and selection criteria before you comment. Get a life, quit complaining, and spend more of your time in the yard helping little Jimmy learn to compete.
So no one is allowed to discus True Blue without people thinking we are obsessed? This is hilarious. Daddy's taking great pictures of your attack and middies just standing around while the defense and goalie are getting a workout. See ya in PA in a few short weeks True Blue and don't forget to wear your mom and dad team shirts.
Igloo, T9-1, and Express in separate divisions. Who wins the 4th division?

Express not a lock to beat API
Hey Express Dad I saw all games Channy/ Empire was best game and then Outlaws/channy. Channy 91 Champ game a let down!
90+1 Texas 2022 team should be embarrassed with what they brought to this tournament. Some of their players could probably drive themselves from Houston. I hope they got a lot out of beating up on B teams with older players. Should have been in the A division to boot, but that wouldn't have been good for business if they beat the 90+1 LI teams as well. Just pathetic...

Stop living vicariously through your kid and try leading by example once in a while.

There's no defined way a kid will look at a specific age. My son is 13 and has many friends born within 2 months either way of him. Some could pass for 15 easily. Others you might think are in 5th grade. All of you passing judgement on kids and teams based on looks should google the range of height and weight a 13 year old might fall in and the range of ages a kid might hit puberty. Better yet just visit any middle school classroom and see how much it varies.

Don't think it matters that they were playing B teams. 2 of the teams played pretty close games. Give them another shot and things may go a little differently. Believe it or not the biggest issue of the game was intimidation of size for the first 20 minutes after that things were relatively equal. They played Empire 5-2 and Tri-State 6-3.
Three Village switched to B when they saw the competition. Great 2022 town team. Why not hang in there and see how you can compete?

Texas kids are not bigger. In lacrosse they are just older, owing to the fact that in NY kids are younger than Texas kids grade on grade. Believe it or not I have seen multiple teams from Texas at hockey tournaments and their hockey teams are not any bigger than anyone else's teams - because hockey uses a birth year system.

Three Village doesn't have the bench to run with 3 of the 4 top club teams on Long Island. They had Express A, Ninety one AA, and the Outlaws Select. I don't blame them for switching
Tough game schedule that Express Channy 2022 set for themselves at lax clash. LOL.

What a concept! But how are they developing so well playing on age? Why aren't they as lucky as our kids and being forced to play older boys? Very strange...
Your very simple, Channy's schedule is against the 2 teams that worked them most in lax fest ,it sure wasn't 91 so is your point at the top of your head
LOL on that reply about the Channy lax clash schedule being against 2 tough teams that worked them hard last weekend. Anybody giving an objective glance could only acknowledge that they have the easiest schedule in the entire 2022 division. Their other game is against Laxachusetts' B team.

They would have smoked outlaws. Outlaws is not a top four team. They are a top B team, maybe 5-6 in LI
Outlaws would beat 3village by 10 goals. I guess this guy is back!
Yes, the Outlaw troll rears his ugly head. Time to get a life man.

Not nearly as good as the A team, thus they are a B team. Chaos is a Texas team with a bunch of kids 1.5 years older. Tough for a B team to play against kids like that
Is everyones excuse for losing is that the other team was 1.5 years older or they had huge kids on their team. They must be older

Express tournament at Mitchell Field quite entertaining today. Psycho coaching at its finest with 3 Village, Express and Prime Time. Do these coaches realize these boys are 12 and 13? 3 Village coach nearly ejected, Express coach cost that team a game, with Prime Time just down right demeaning. [lacrosse] poor excuses as coaches.

Igloo's B team is a decent A level team. They are a bottom end AA team, which is the typical result when they enter AA level tourney's. Again, at the A level, they are competitive. Just not as deep as the AA igloo team.
The igloo AA team is playing with 2021 players. The other igloo team is all 2022.

Wrong - that is PA Chaos and they were in Virginia Beach this weekend. This is Chais Lacrosse from Dallas - that's why their players had the Cowboys Star on many of their helmets.
Express in control at Lax Clash
Not the Express A coaches. Express B could have won the Three Village game but the coach was called on a tech. Is a huge screamer just like the Three Village coach. Truthfully, I would ask for a refund as the coaching is terrible on both teams. MC could do better.
Igloo B had AAplayers this weekend and still couldn't get it done
They are nothing without Black Ice
Lax Clash weak. Some games 25 minute, some games 30 minutes. Different rules on every field. 1 ball basically at each field. Very poorly run.
Yeah, Express in control ... with their cakewalk schedule today

Why do you care? It's really creepy and scary to be this obsessed with the Igloo "B" team.... they are harmless and no threat but you still care so much... why?

Have they played Express or T9-1 yet this summer?
Yes igloo b is playing this weekend.
Wow. Lost to Chaos? I thought Igloo's B team was nearly as good as their A team.
Igloo's B team is a decent A level team. They are a bottom end AA team, which is the typical result when they enter AA level tourney's. Again, at the A level, they are competitive. Just not as deep as the AA igloo team.
The weekend was a B tournament and they only won 1 game
Igloo B is just that a B team and with out top 3 players
They are a C team.
Igloo B had AAplayers this weekend and still couldn't get it done
They are nothing without Black Ice
Oh yeah? Who were the AA players?

Sorry let's only talk about your kids team
Express in control at Lax Clash
Not the Express A coaches. Express B could have won the Three Village game but the coach was called on a tech. Is a huge screamer just like the Three Village coach. Truthfully, I would ask for a refund as the coaching is terrible on both teams. MC could do better.
Please ask for a refund. And let us know how that goes. Or if you are part of either team, just leave.
No refund needed for us, we are not on the Express train.

Didn't that B/C team (as you called it) beat Express AA at the Blatant a month ago when Express AA was missing three of their top players? What's your point (if you even have one)?
Take the top three players off of any good team and let me know how you think they will do against real competition. Now, to make this fair, you have to be really honest (with us and with yourself), so when you think about who's going to replace those three boys and how they are going to do, you're not allowed to assume that your Little Rabil, as amazing as he is, will do just as well as the top three who are out this weekend (even though we all know that your Little Rabil isn't getting the run he deserves only because of politics).

OMG can anyone please beat Express ! They are making all of us look bad!

You are a true [lacrosse]!!! many stick with excellent coaching. There are kids on B teams right now that will blow kids on A and AA teams away coming soon.

Express has been beaten already this year and other teams are absolutely catching up.

They are 1-2 against the Penguin this year (without any brown snow players).
Express is actually 5-1 against the Dream team this year for the 2016-17 season. Beat 9D1 at fall Blatant, twice at Lehigh, last weekend and this past weekend, Express beat themselves at the WSYL qualifier, and Express won all 3 championship games vs 9D1. All great games, see you in Denver 9D1 dad.

Not a 91 dad, but there are some inconsistencies in your posting, isn't last weekend and this past weekend the same? How did Express beat themselves? Did they play an intra squad game?

Igloo beat Express twice and lost once. Igloo is clearly the team to beat and if you dont know that you are watching the wrong game.s
its a trend at igloo. AA playing for A and 2021 playing for AA. Classy.

Well.... you will all find out in a few days. Of course whoever loses will claim 2021s are playing but on age. Blah blah balh.... I think Igloo will win it all.

AA has never played for B/C. 2021 born after 9/1/2003 only plays for the World Series team, never in any tournament. Climb back under the bridge, troll.
No chance. Igloo has not had any competitive games since the qualifier. The chemistry of the World Series Igloo team will be no match for true a true team. Those ninth graders will feel the pressure and the eighth graders will be thinking of their true teammates who were left behind. How much do you want to bet?

You are the biggest loser troll on here -classy is your favorite word. Get out of mommy and daddy's basement and get a real job loser
WSYL will come down to face offs between igloo, express and 91.
Igloo should make the championship and it will be a pickem between express and 91 and the winner of that game will win the steinfeld cup.
Hmmm..lets talk about trends..which team will look different for the WSYL because they have boys that don't qualify due to their age?

Igloo had a special 2022 team and they busted it up to bring older players who lost last year. They could win WSYL but the damage has been done. Money graaaaaaaaab.

igloo has the best coach in the age group and will probably be a better version of what was seen at the qualifier. Even playing poorly they were still the best team there. 91 will beat Express just like they did at the qualifier because Express has a couple key players that play the regular tournaments but don't qualify for the WSYL. I agree that leaving kids out was a poor decision by the organization. That said it should be another fun 4th of July for the Long Island kids
When are you people going to realize that every game is anybody's game???? Stop wasting your time and brain cells (or lack thereof) and quit it with the predictions!!!!!

Why? As long as it's light hearted, it's just conversation. When people get silly, then I agree. Waste of brain cells. It will be interesting to see who wins this and then 2 weeks later in Marylamd. But it will be fun for the kids as the paren'ts watch on with stress levels rising.

If that's true then those kids should not be playing sports...that is not a competitive kid.

Using the word "grade" for this tournament means that you are to confused to be worth explaining anything to.

I won't be surprised if the 4 LI teams make it to the finals. Legggaaacee and Igloo are bringing 9th graders - Express is losing players due to age and 92 is really the only team that has been playing Tournaments with their WSYL Team.
My Guess - Igloo and 91 in Final with 91 winning, but won't be surprised if Igloo or Express wins. I will be schocked if anyone else wins or even gets into the finals.

Agree here that using the word grade for this tournament is absurd and an attempt to diminish kids or teams with innuendo. Of what exactly? If there are kids that normally do the opposite of the sad play down / hold-back / re-class norm and the boy plays not only on-age but normally "plays up" a grade or even 2 if you are talking about a 9th grader being able to qualify by DOB - well good for that kid to have a chance to be one of the older more mature kids for once in his freakin life if he wants. This tournament will hopefully gain more and more traction and will help US Lax and others to get their acts together and realize that playing by grade until 9th grade - is ultimately ridiculous. There are cheaters every where you go - they are literally at every tournament - often times countenanced by the host or tourney directors - its a sham - but it is the unfortunate reality. I for one find this tourney uniquely interesting because it is your only true apples to apples comparison. Say what you will about "the best 7th graders not being there" - but the fact is - if the best 7th grader is 15 well than that's just ridiculous. At 15 we were playing Varsity not 7g or 8g lax. Joke.

Yeah, let the age kids (even if going to 9th) thrive. I laugh at every post that says the bringING 9th graders. It's age based and it's like they can't process that a team will gear themselves accordingly. This tourney is growing and I predict this will continue to grow. E.g. clubs will hold separate WSYL open tryouts and it won't be the defacto grade based team. They'll charge separate tryout fees, practices/training fees, etc, etc and we will coming running.

Stop using logic you two! The holdback "grade" based parents are going to have their head explode! They can't even figure out that the term "grade" doesn't apply here.
And charge them $75 a person for the extra tryout. Stop complaining people. You all drank the Kool Aid. Look in the mirror. No one to blame but yourself
igloo was the biggest protester of legacy's guest playing 9th graders participating in the world series last year and this year igloo is doing the very same thing by bringing 6-8 players from the black ice team. total hypocrisy. it is unfortunate what happened to the black ice team last year. i guess the director and coaches thought if can't beat them, join them. conscience: do two wrongs make a right?

Maybe that would lead to other non-WSYL teams also going age-based, and eventually tourneys as a whole - wouldn't that be refreshing??! It would be hard to go to a pure WYSL approach with one team
within a program without throwing the rest of the adjacent grade teams (6th & 8th) into turmoil. There is then a further residual affect on the whole program even further out from those two teams, at least below 6th. So, the question then becomes does WYSL drive programs from 2nd grade up through 7th grade, which reshapes all or most of the pre-HS club landscape, or do teams decide the status quo is more lucrative, and WSYL is just a extra? USAL could be a bigger player here, but they are not stepping up.

My initial post about this was neither a defense for nor an indictment of any specific program or team. I honestly don't care about Igloo, Legacy, Diamondbacks or whomever... Let's try, for once, not to waste our time determining who is the lowest of the low in the race to the bottom that youth lacrosse has become. I think that there is a basis for some actual discussion about this as opposed to the sad usual drivel we have to sift through here. "My errrrr my son's club team is better than yours", "Our kids are just older - stop your whining", "hold-backs are just somehow smarter and richer than all the rest"... Quack Quack - what a colossal waste of energy.
When people try so hard to diminish something it does make you wonder why? This tournament never claimed to unseat the self proclaimed "Top 2022" team as the best 2022 team in the country. It is a tournament that is exactly what it says it is - a tournament for highly skilled young players born on or after 9/1/2003 (who can and are willing to prove that about themselves). Yet the defenders of the grade based status quo try to tear it down - why? I like that someone, somewhere, with enough clout to pull this off has at least interjected the idea of "on age" competition mattering back into the discussion.
Rip me, rip it, I frankly couldn't care less - but there is no rational argument against age based youth competition that holds any merit (maybe the town rec - let them play with their classmates - and I mean maybe). The idea that kids, who love this game, are forever saddled with this silly, rigged system we currently endure is lazy and pathetic. But your welcome to it if that's the one you like - you have a lot of the cards at the moment. I'm sure there's a future generation of wealthy boys (that is my favorite argument against those opposed to hold backs that somehow we would all do it if only we had the resources) who will thank you for it at a victory pool party after their team of 15 year olds beats another team with 13 year olds on it. Nice job boys way to dig it out! If you think it doesn't matter have your current 2022 team play your current 2024 team and see how they do.

Unfortunately this is what every club is doing now. Can't beat them join them? Why not. Nothing is done about this anyway. Two wrongs make a right? Again nothing is done to prevent this..I think there are more parents that would want Lacrosse to go age based, not grade based. Birth certificates and photo I'd's. Sooner the better before a child of 12 or 13 gets seriously injured because they're playing against 15 or 16 year old young men. The Laxblack 2023 team was a perfect example of this at Tri star lax clash this past weekend. How could these tournament directors turn a blind eye to this? It was more than obvious! It wasn't a couple of players from this team, it was all of the team. Any of the other players from this division could have been seriously injured. It's like beating a dead horse though, Until parents demand the change, it's going to remain the same until someone is slapped with a lawsuit. Everyone is paying enough money to play travel lacrosse. It should also ensure the safety of these boys. My question is...how can these PARENTS allow their sons to absolutely maul these boys that are at least 2-3 years younger or more depending on how many times they've been left back. Is that a conscience checker? Absolutely. Would I be a "proud" parent? Nope

Best post I ever read on this site.
I think the reason some teams were up set was because rules were changed in January/ Febuary. At least now rules were set way in advance .

YOU'RE WRONG! Move on and GET OVER IT!
Totally agree about Igloo, it is obvious and most all but Igloo recognize the wrongdoing of depriving the true team of being a team and dividing the boys. A real shame that egos and adult self interest took precedence over all of the 2022 boys on the actual Artic Blast team.
Beyond the qualifier, what other games has the 2022 Igloo team with 9th graders had and how did they do?

It is a tournament that is exactly what it says it is - a tournament for highly skilled young players born on or after 9/1/2003 (who can and are willing to prove that about themselves). Yet the defenders of the grade based status quo try to tear it down - why? I like that someone, somewhere, with enough clout to pull this off has at least interjected the idea of "on age" competition mattering back into the discussion.
Rip me, rip it, I frankly couldn't care less - but there is no rational argument against age based youth competition that holds any merit (maybe the town rec - let them play with their classmates - and I mean maybe). The idea that kids, who love this game, are forever saddled with this silly, rigged system we currently endure is lazy and pathetic. But your welcome to it if that's the one you like - you have a lot of the cards at the moment. I'm sure there's a future generation of wealthy boys (that is my favorite argument against those opposed to hold backs that somehow we would all do it if only we had the resources) who will thank you for it at a victory pool party after their team of 15 year olds beats another team with 13 year olds on it. Nice job boys way to dig it out! If you think it doesn't matter have your current 2022 team play your current 2024 team and see how they do.
Best post I ever read on this site.
Eh, I've read better.
Beyond the qualifier, what other games has the 2022 Igloo team with 9th graders had and how did they do?
You're still being stupid, not a grade based tournament

It's probably the most on the level tourney in the youth lacrosse world. It is astounding that people think you should follow a flawed system in a tourney that clearly wants a level playing field.
It is not about "the tourney", it should be about the boys and the team. The group of boys that have played together for the entire lacrosse season and or multiple years, the ones that have gone to practice every week throughout, the ones that hangout together in the tent in between games, the one that bond at the hotel on the lax weekends, the ones that socialize off the playing fields, etc... Not about recruiting older kids from the team a grade above to replace team players and try to compete just for the one WSYL tournament.

You would be one of the egomaniacs, living vicariously through your child and the 9th graders
Every tournament should be age based. Any arguement against that is illogical .
Cutoff is sept. 1... stack kids born in sept.
There always a way to "work" the system. Hold backs are a joke and are looked upon that way from the parents coaches etc.
When a boy stands out -- bigger faster stronger -- 99% of the time it's because he's a holdback.
Sad because it's just assumed .

I love it when people make these kind of guesses! Keep telling yourself anything you need to so that you don't have to deal with the rejection. I get that you're licking your wounds but calling people names is not the way to deal with life's setbacks.
Guys, these kids are not 2-3 years older. They are in some instances a year older . Still unfair, but if you exaggerate the numbers your argument loses its luster. Remember you cannot be over 19 and play varsity sports.

This is not meant to be argumentative but just my opinion having been through the recruiting thing four times. The age based vs. grade based argument has no right and wrong answers it just all depends on your goals.
For my kids the goal of a summer team grades 2-7 were to become better lacrosse players, make new friends, have fun and also win some games and age or grade based teams were immaterial.
Once you start playing in the recruit tournaments, prospect cams and prospect days age no longer matters. The college coaches recruiting your kid only wants to see freshman play against freshman not 15 year old play against 15 year old .
IMHO you should not be worrying about winning tournaments after 7th grade, only the clubs care about championships and that is for their web sites and tryout turnouts.
Unfortunately this is not USA Hockey where a kid is registered by age and is on one team and can only play for that team and if he wants to change organizations he needs to get a release. In youth summer lacrosse, your team is who shows up that weekend or even that day and has the same jersey as the rest of the kids. That is not cheating as long as the kid is age or grade appropriate for that tournament.
When a team is selected by grade and then wants to enter an age based tourney you will almost always have to get additional players to make up for the kids that are grade appropriate but not age appropriate, you will see this again in two years when you put together your USL U15 National team.
good luck to all of your sons, don't burn them out and do everything you can to keep this fun for them

I have no arguments with your points, although I think:
* that you can extend your point about not worrying about winning tournaments after
8th grade, especially considering the new NCAA recruiting rule
* that you can still borrow from the USA Hockey idea to have kids legitimately certified as to being on age through U14 - the commitment/release aspect of USAH is above and beyond the considerations here

Its unclear what you point is ... but as for the argument that age based is flawed because teams can stack themselves with Sept born kids if Sept-Aug is used, or January kids if calendar year is used ... we are not trying to achieve perfection. Ideally, we would have a division for kids born Aug 1, 2005, a division for kids born Aug 2, 2005, and so on. But there clearly are not enough kids for that. There are also most likely not enough kids to have a 2005 major divisions (Jan-June) and a 2005 minor division (July-Dec). But a 12 month window is easily achieved, and most importantly it provides for fairer and safer competition for all kids. It is a significant improvement over a grade based system where a kid can bizarrely play the same division two years in a row just because he decides to repeat a grade.
In hockey no one, and I mean no one, ever complains about the birth year system. Occasionally, you will hear someone say "Oh, my Johnny has a bad hockey birthday", but it is never in the form of a complaint - more like an "Oh well". None of these parents advocate for a different system. I have also never heard a parent say "oh look, that team probably has a lot of january or february kids". No one says this, because its stupid. If all kids are born within the same 12 month window, its as fair as it can ever be, and everyone accepts that.
In hockey, if I put a AAA 03 kid into a AAA 05 game, he would smoke those kids. Yet in lacrosse, this same thing happens all the time.

I absolutely disagree with this statement - "The college coaches recruiting your kid only want to see freshman play against freshman not 15 year old play against 15 year old." In NY, in the summer, a freshman/rising soph will be a youngish 15 year old, or 14 but close to turning 15. But yet most other hotbed states use a school age system that makes their kids a bit older, and if the kid is a holdback, that compounds it. Thus, it would not be uncommon for a freshman/rising soph from MD or MA to be, say, a summer birthday kid who turned 17 a few weeks before the event. This can be a huge difference for most kids. If the 17 yo (albeit a young 17) is dominating the young 15 yo (or maybe old 14 yo), is it because he is better, or is it simply because he is older. The college coaches don't care how good you when they are looking at you. They only care how good you will be when you are in college. They are in the projection business. They are trying to identify kids who project to be great college players when they are older. If kids are two years (or more) apart in age, at a time when the younger kid is not yet physically mature, then how in the world can you protect whether either of them will be great when they are men and age differences mean almost nothing. If I am a college coach, I want to watch apples play apples and oranges play oranges, which means have the kids go up against kids their same age. Then I will have a better idea who has game. And even then, I will have to use my noodle, because amongst 15 year olds, I will take special notice of a kid who looks very good but still has the body of a 12 year old. I would expect a higher upside for that kid.
igloo was the biggest protester of legacy's guest playing 9th graders participating in the world series last year and this year igloo is doing the very same thing by bringing 6-8 players from the black ice team. total hypocrisy. it is unfortunate what happened to the black ice team last year. i guess the director and coaches thought if can't beat them, join them. conscience: do two wrongs make a right?
YOU'RE WRONG! Move on and GET OVER IT!
Totally agree about Igloo, it is obvious and most all but Igloo recognize the wrongdoing of depriving the true team of being a team and dividing the boys. A real shame that egos and adult self interest took precedence over all of the 2022 boys on the actual Artic Blast team.
not wrong...friends son on the team and the parents completely complained about it !!! so your wrong ! now igloo doing the same thing ! typical hypocrisy..

The big reason/difference is that in Hockey the end of the rainbow is the NHL draft and it is age based were as the pot of gold in lacrosse is the verbal commitment to a roster spot and admissions and that is grade based. I am not saying this is good or bad, just that it is what it is.
People that don’t want to talk about reality or shine light on the extent of this [lacrosse]-backward system like to conflate issues. What does college recruitment and even HS play have to do with how youth sports should be organized as far down the line as 3rd grade and even younger? The fact is - for “2022†boys (at least in the state of NY) a player who is turning 15 within a week will be just fine for HS sports unless things have changed. Most on age kids are 13 and the USLax age cut off has another 2 months to go before some 12 year olds even turn 13. So this July you WILL have a younger 2022 still 12 playing against an older “2022†who can already be 15 and the older boy is in no jeopardy as far as HS sports are concerned. I know I am taking extremes, but the extreme case is greater than 2 full years. The regular reality is that the difference is generally closer to 2 years than 1. So please with the its only 1 yr.
If things ever went age based, “uber elite†players could always play up and then they and they alone would have to deal with the consequences of their decisions not everyone else. Someone please make the argument that this system is better. You won't because you can't - so you'll resort to name calling, insulting me and/or my kid, blah blah blah... As if anyone cares about the insults from an anonymous blog. Save it - only one side of this argument has any merit the other is just a round about way of saying - "that's the way it is and for some of us it's currently advantageous so we like it".

Inflating numbers doesn't help your point. If one is a holdback, he is likely a summer birthday so up to 15 months different, and that is only for the very young 2022. Those are likely 0-5 on a team. The kid that is 2 years older (or greater like you said) just isn't out there. Sure you heard about 1 kid somewhere so I'll give you there might be 1 or 2 in an entire league or tournament, but probably zero. I'm not saying grade is better than age based or vice versa. But if you don't like the system petition the league, club, tournament directors, etc. to have it changed. Just don't make up excuses and say that other teams are all holdbacks 2 years older than another team or make assumptions about how old a kid is based on size. And don't call people cheaters that are playing by the rules of the league or tournament you are choosing to pay and have your kid participate in.
It is all grad year based to make it easier for college coaches to evaluate kids for different incoming classes. That's why no one plays up. Now that the colleges have 3 less years of kids to worry about there is no excuse to use grade based through middle school. No college coach is even looking at 7th or 8th graders anymore. (Just look at the sidelines of these "recruiting" tournaments for 7th and 8th graders - no folding chairs at all)
Clubs and tourneys need to implement the age cutoffs until high school starts.

Is there any truth that in NY a senior in HS cannot turn 19 before the day of graduation or they are not permitted to participate in athletics?

Go back an read what was initially written.
A.) I never made up an excuse for anything.
B.) I never said “all holdbacks†were 2 years older – I simply pointed out that under the current system they can be in “extreme†cases - without putting HS in jeopardy.
C.) I never mentioned size once.
D.) I never called anyone a cheater for exploiting the rules to their advantage – I just pointed out that the current system allows them to exploit the rules to begin with and the ones that do it are very happy with the status quo. That’s not calling you a cheater – I guess I’m calling you an exploiter – better?
See - when you say that you’re not saying grade is better than age based you are actually telling us all exactly where you stand – doesn’t take a genius to make that read. I can’t help it if you don’t want to recognize the reality - which is many times the difference in age between a true holdback and a younger kid on age for his grade is closer to 2 years than 1. It is the reality - especially when you start playing teams from other states with other school calendars to begin with and they add on their 3 or 4 months for Jr. because “he wasn’t really ready for kindergarten at the time – so we thought it was best to give him another year to matureâ€. If you really believe what you wrote - you should do a little digging about what “holdbacks†really are – they ain’t only a few months for a kid with a summer birthday here and there. And for you guys who’s first kid this is you are in for a treat – this year coming up is a very special and fun year for your son – he’s going to have a bunch of new classmates. “ Jr. just wasn’t ready for HS (for some made up reason or another) so he’s going to repeat 8th Grade for academics or for a little more maturity†- so on top of the holdbacks - next summer your son gets to begin enjoying even more “re-classesâ€. Great system for youth sports – total Joke.
If your kid likes this game and shows any real promise where maybe he can play at the college level – get him to a proper teaching environment, tell him to hit the books as hard as he hits the gym. He can get there without this garbage – that’s the great big secret nobody wants you to know. You don’t actually need to do any of this nonsense if you play for a good HS team and have great grades. So - regardless of the age differences, the scores of these games and what club your son was or wasn’t on when he was in the 7th or 8th grade means absolute squat. My initial point was and remains this is a jackass way to organize youth sports and nobody has stated one valid reason why it isn't. I am going to go petition my club and all the tournament directors I can think of – so I’m signing off. Done wasting my time on this - but it’s been sort of fun.
Guys, these kids are not 2-3 years older. They are in some instances a year older . Still unfair, but if you exaggerate the numbers your argument loses its luster. Remember you cannot be over 19 and play varsity sports.
Many are one to three months older but rules are rules .

Go back an read what was initially written.
A.) I never made up an excuse for anything.
B.) I never said “all holdbacks†were 2 years older – I simply pointed out that under the current system they can be in “extreme†cases - without putting HS in jeopardy.
C.) I never mentioned size once.
D.) I never called anyone a cheater for exploiting the rules to their advantage – I just pointed out that the current system allows them to exploit the rules to begin with and the ones that do it are very happy with the status quo. That’s not calling you a cheater – I guess I’m calling you an exploiter – better?
See - when you say that you’re not saying grade is better than age based you are actually telling us all exactly where you stand – doesn’t take a genius to make that read. I can’t help it if you don’t want to recognize the reality - which is many times the difference in age between a true holdback and a younger kid on age for his grade is closer to 2 years than 1. It is the reality - especially when you start playing teams from other states with other school calendars to begin with and they add on their 3 or 4 months for Jr. because “he wasn’t really ready for kindergarten at the time – so we thought it was best to give him another year to matureâ€. If you really believe what you wrote - you should do a little digging about what “holdbacks†really are – they ain’t only a few months for a kid with a summer birthday here and there. And for you guys who’s first kid this is you are in for a treat – this year coming up is a very special and fun year for your son – he’s going to have a bunch of new classmates. “ Jr. just wasn’t ready for HS (for some made up reason or another) so he’s going to repeat 8th Grade for academics or for a little more maturity†- so on top of the holdbacks - next summer your son gets to begin enjoying even more “re-classesâ€. Great system for youth sports – total Joke.
If your kid likes this game and shows any real promise where maybe he can play at the college level – get him to a proper teaching environment, tell him to hit the books as hard as he hits the gym. He can get there without this garbage – that’s the great big secret nobody wants you to know. You don’t actually need to do any of this nonsense if you play for a good HS team and have great grades. So - regardless of the age differences, the scores of these games and what club your son was or wasn’t on when he was in the 7th or 8th grade means absolute squat. My initial point was and remains this is a jackass way to organize youth sports and nobody has stated one valid reason why it isn't. I am going to go petition my club and all the tournament directors I can think of – so I’m signing off. Done wasting my time on this - but it’s been sort of fun.
Easy there. I think you need to reread what was written. You said in extreme cases but also said "many times the difference in age between a true holdback and a younger kid on age for his grade is closer to 2 years than 1." which isn't true. You call it garbage, nonsense and jackass way to organize. Yet you pay into it. Why not just do rec if that's how you feel? Good luck with your petition, I hope you're successful. PS my kid isn't a holdback. Just tired of the complaining.
TB stay on the porch with the B ball
I live in Maryland and this is holdback central . This is the private school game pre k then reclass later for boys. Theirs a lot of those kids ...

Is this why you don't see these teams at the WSYL. I know the Diamondbacks are going and Crabs went to the inaugural one, that's it.

No it's because WSYL changed the rule after tryouts. So teams picked kids based on one set of rules and then it was changed. So those teams chose not to change their teams based on one tournament that has changed its rules every year.

Rumor has it that next year the cut off date will change from Sept 1st to July1 st.
igloo was the biggest protester of legacy's guest playing 9th graders participating in the world series last year and this year igloo is doing the very same thing by bringing 6-8 players from the black ice team. total hypocrisy. it is unfortunate what happened to the black ice team last year. i guess the director and coaches thought if can't beat them, join them. conscience: do two wrongs make a right?
YOU'RE WRONG! Move on and GET OVER IT!
Totally agree about Igloo, it is obvious and most all but Igloo recognize the wrongdoing of depriving the true team of being a team and dividing the boys. A real shame that egos and adult self interest took precedence over all of the 2022 boys on the actual Artic Blast team.
not wrong...friends son on the team and the parents completely complained about it !!! so your wrong ! now igloo doing the same thing ! typical hypocrisy..
Stop igloo dad your not fooling anyone. I know parents at igloo too and the decision was a big issue for them.
im sure it was ...lol
Lie I said. It will be the norm, trust me. They will run these teams in the future as separate teams. Separate tryouts, separate practices and extra fees. And that way there will be no whinning about some kid that is replaced for an younger kid in the grade above. All.good from where I sit. You play win a tourney like this.
Safe travels and good luck to all attending WSYL this weekend. Our team chose not to go, but I hope it's a great experience for all involved. Will be watching on TV.
I really think the Millon Championship will continue to grow and wsyl will continue to have fewer and fewer of the top teams.

Interesting. But where do people get these rumors from?
I really think the Millon Championship will continue to grow and wsyl will continue to have fewer and fewer of the top teams.
Millon will do a national championship for 2022 and 2024, which are the two years his sons play. He will not expand it bryond those two years. WSYL will continue to be a U13 showcasing vehicle.
With the new recruiting rules, there will probably be some U15 championship that will be hyped like the World Series is. And nobody on these boards will agree that it is set up correctly.
The Maryland teams like Hawks which is the best grade team this year has 5 holdbacks, the crabs same , Fca the same , Bethesda 4 ,Roughriders 3...also some A teams . That is why they can't go to many holdbacks and they wouldn't be good with out them...Don't let them tell you different ... million's tournament is to be holdback central . Remember these are best teams because their players older and play down to be good. It's very sad

I have disagree. WSYL has the same founders and sponsors of the MLL. I think it's going to be around with that type of influence. Everyone on this blog will be watching the final or dvring it. Why? It's really cool that the kids get this opportunity. Millon, high quality tourney, but that's it. This has branding and PR opportunity for a club that translates to revenue. The WSYL will grow. The Crabs, Madlax, Laxachusetts and others will jump on board at some point.

That logic is not in the spirit of the games. Teams are supposed to compete, not a group of boys (in the case of Igloo and Legacy, a handful high school-bound players on each) who are recruited to join a middle school team just for one tournament. I imagine that this assembly of boys for both programs did not play in any other games, leagues, tournaments but WSYL. Just put a roster together for one tournament. That is not what the overwhelming majority of participating programs did, rather they chose to compete as the true teams that they are, which is both honorable and respectable.

Hawks only has 4 kids older than 9/1 cutoff. 3 of the 4 would have been able to play wsyl last year when they had a 5/1 cutoff but couldn't this year because of wsyl last minute age requirement change.

As long as wsyl has age requirements different than the vast majority of teams, they will be a 2nd rate tournament. Either the teams will have to change to match wsyl or wsyl will have to change to match the teams to be considered a legitimate championship.

When you say the wsyl has "age requirements different than the vast majority of the teams" - do you mean that the wsyl has actual age requirements and that these teams have specified age requirements that are just different? Or do you mean that wsyl age requirements just don't line up with the ages of the players on these teams because they are older?
Junkyard Willie be back. Y'all just a bunch a jive turkeys. Talking bout we did this and dat. We ain't dun nothin but cause beef in a forum. Kids be playin and u ain't. Jive turkey flapping off at da lip

I hope igloo wins WS because their reputation already lost. Stuffing a team for one tournament teaches the wrong lesson to a "team". Legal? Yes. Ethical? No.

"spirit of the game"... honor and respect.... there is none of this in the current grade-based system, nor is there true fair competition. You like it the way it is, fine, but to call the status quo "honorable and respectable" is such a farce.

Surprised that Igloo/ Cromwell would do this. Is this true?
I'm sure it wasn't Cromwell's fault. That came from the top. AA

Uh, brainiac. Igloo has grade based teams but for this one event Igloo has a WSYL team. They train together all-year (in addition to) the grade based team they are part of...and then they have additional practices for the WYSL age-based team. They do double duty. A lot of lax.
How did they satisfy the requirement? When a weekend was open for all WSYL players to go to a tourney outside their main grade based team, the WSYL team played in tournaments. Is it that hard to understand?

Thank you, exactly the point! Igloo's actions were with total disregard for the true team, the players, the families. Igloo first, people whatever. Everybody on the outside knows that the 2022 players that are at the World Series deep down know that their teammates who are missing were left behind and deprived of the experience.

Are you referring to the kids that committed to Igloo 2022 and the parents that paid Igloo $3K for the year, only to be excluded from the World Series and denied what some people say is one of the best youth sport experiences? You have a distorted view on the world. Hope your kid is prepared to be on the receiving end of rejection. Trust me, it happens to every human being at some point in life.
90d1 has soft schedule at WSYL what a joke..........
WSYL is hardly one of the best youth sport experiences. Hockey, Baseball, are just a few examples of better

That is not what the overwhelming majority of participating programs did, rather they chose to compete as the true teams that they are, which is both honorable and respectable.
I disagree, respectfully... I have no problem with a club putting together the best U13 players they can as long as those plans are communicated by the club. i.e. the WSYL team is separate and there will be tryouts for the team. If kids are hand picked and other kids are bumped, that stinks, yes. But make it clear that making the grade based doesn't mean your son is on WSYL team is fine. Trust me, the LI clubs better start now, because this event is growing, they have TV and major corporate sponsors, plus a leadership team that knows what they are doing. It's inevitable that Maryland, Philly, and Boston construct U13 WSYL teams. And going out on limb... but I'll guess those teams will be 'Super Teams'.
Lie I said. It will be the norm, trust me. They will run these teams in the future as separate teams. Separate tryouts, separate practices and extra fees. And that way there will be no whinning about some kid that is replaced for an younger kid in the grade above. All.good from where I sit. You play win a tourney like this.

Clubs are starting to forget about the A and B team format and trying to build two balanced teams. Will prevent people from leaving from a B team after tryouts. So if they choose to qualify for WSYL it will be the best 25 kids from that age.

Hopefully those future Super teams will comply with the rules and play in 2 other tournaments outside of WSYL. Still no evidence that Igloo's Artic Ice or Black Blast competed in 2 other tournaments.
The WSYL require a team to play in two tournaments after the qualifier. How did this Igloo team with Black ice players satisfy this requirement? Lost all respect for this program.
I bet somewhere AA is so very very upset that you have lost respect for Igloo. Everyone forgets from time to time that this is a business as well. He put together the best product he could to represent the Igloo brand within the guidelines of the WSYL...oh the shame! Take a quick peek around at the stuff other organizations pull on a regular basis.
"business", "product", these are kids, you fool. Rules aside, it is wrong in so many ways. Keep justifying it to yourself. Win or lose, it is shameful. Just like what Legacy did last year.
It's a business first and foremost...whether I agree with it or not means nothing...just me smart enough to get the big picture
You nailed it, its a business. It's all about winning and making money. if they win they attract better players which leads to more wins and in return they get to charge more money. It's cut throat, no loyalty If a better player happens to come along then it s good bye to the last player on the bench just like pro sports. The only difference is the pro teams pay their players, youth lacrosse the parents pay the clubs.
The clubs make money of their merchandise, just like pro teams. The parents become walking billboards for the clubs. The next step is charging parking fees at the tournaments ( the top clubs run most of them), then after that they will be charging admission to the tournaments as well. If you want to see your superstar play you have to pay. The parents will come here to complain but will never say anything to a director. they will keep handing over the money. The clubs will continue to develop new avenues to raise revenue.
You don't have to agree with it but its a business, and its all about the money. The kids are just part of the money machine.
Nobody in Denver is beating Igloo. It isn't even close. #1 in the county.

Very good for a combined team.

Didn't know JS coaches Express now
Not going to be a cakewalk for Igloo.Couple of teams look pretty good
Fredericksburg may as well be in Alaska, please be specific as talent level in a rural area is clearly not northern va.
congrats to API on beating express. Speaks volumes of talent in HOCO as they did not make HOCO playoff in a stacked 2022 league. They have been solid and well coached for years. Beating Eclipse and LIE on day 1 is impressive.

Can't wait to see Igloo get destroy in MD at Millon's 2022 National Championship. Results will be very different without the 7 ninth graders. And yes, Igloo parents will be the first complain about it not being fair because of holdbacks.
You must be so proud; black ice lost last year so they will win this year. Lost all respect for that program.
So because they reloaded and appear to have fielded another good team, you've lost respect for igloo. Should they have stopped trying and quit?

Take a peek at the website and checkout the points leaders etc..you may be disappointed to see that the 2022 boys are still doing the majority of the heavy lifting for this team.Sorry..i know that doesn't fit into what you are insinuating.

Igloo could bring the world series team to Maryland
And they still would be young then any of the your
holdback teams.
Well 2 teams gave up 50+ goals in three games what is that about and guess who's divisions there in. Also if you gave up over 20 goals in just 3 games your wasting our time and should not be in this WSYL tourney. This will never be about the best 13 YO's. Much to much manipulation and truly the ultimate money grab.
Good point, but quarter round 1pm 1st white plays 2nd gold. LOL
You must be so proud; black ice lost last year so they will win this year. Lost all respect for that program.
They are so worried that anonymous blogger lost respect for them, lol

Igloo and any other WSYL team would of lost to the 4 finalist at Young Guns this weekend.
Why were they winning to that point in the game? ...despite likely losing majority of face offs to top FOGO likely in country, still came out on top? Please enlighten the group

Not insinuating anything. Just stating that Igloo using 7 kids from their 2021 team. Seven kids who played last year.

If they fit the age parameters, then yes they should. What reason would you give to say they can't play?

Gee, I don't know.... are they AGE appropriate? Of course they should if they meet the AGE guidelines!
I'm a parent on this Igloo World Series team and there is not 6 or 7 players from Black Ice on this team. That is just a lie. There are two players from the Black Ice team who are over a year younger then their piers in their grade. The age would mean they are 2022's in any state besides New [lacrosse]. These two players also did not play a lot in last years World Series because the cut off was 5/1 which means they were a full 16 months younger at the time they played. Last year Igloo decided to bring their normal team because the rules first started 5/1 cutoff and 2021 grade, and then they changed the rules 2.5 months before the championship tournament to straight 5/1 allowing players much older to participate. So Igloo already promised those kids they could go. So to sum up, All players playing except for 2 are new players to the World Series, the 2 players in question are younger then a lot of the boys attending this year's event, so because this is a age based event this is completely fair for everyone. All Teams knew the rules, all teams had the ability to participate; don't an organization for following the rules and participating. That just doesn't make sense.
Express fogo ineligible. Too old. That's hysterical.

Let the spin begin. Igloo tryouts must be coming up. Mo money.
Express already lost a game, and will not be able to beat Igloo. They deserve to lose and hopefully take a solid beatdowm after their unsportsmanlike behavior yesterday. Shame on the coach!

Sorry..but you wasted your time writing this.People on here don't want the truth. They would rather exaggerate,twist,turn it to suit their agenda. Some people just like to write this stuff to get a rise out of people . Some like to try and justify why their team won't win.The last group of people are just plain stupid.Good luck to your son and his team
You do realize the WSYL posts the kids DOB on their website
You can count how many 03's are on every team

No need to explain. What the club does is their business. From my view, they run a great program. And I am not an Igloo parent.

Nobody with any intelligence or sense thinks Igloo has done anything wrong... unfortunately there are stupid people out there and you can't argue with stupid! Waste of time. You can try to explain but they are not rational! Good luck!!

It will LI vs LI in the first quarterfinal game, likely.... Express vs 9! - shame one to get knocked out early. The Express loss to API will make them a #2 seed and 9! will be a 1 seed.

Yes you are correct 2 players with 12/03 birthdates. There are another 5 with 03 birthdates prior to 12/1 but are within the rules. don't lie to make yourself feel better. its no big deal just about every team has players with 03 birth dates.
Igloo beat PT 2022 in OT, PT coach cost them the game! Not knowing the rules, PT wins FO, coach calls a timeout, refs hand the ball over to Igloo! Great game, tough loss for PT. Thanks PT Coach!
You must be so proud; black ice lost last year so they will win this year. Lost all respect for that program.
So because they reloaded and appear to have fielded another good team, you've lost respect for igloo. Should they have stopped trying and quit?l

Haha I guess we all know who YOU are.
everyone is hating on Igloo, but how about Express. Express didn't bring the entire team, looks like they left about 10-12 of the 36 players home

Those parents make that choice for their kids to just be on the team. Since the roster size was locked at 25, yes... some had to be left off. To each his own. Practice and training are needed and good things. However, nothing like game experience (in a meaningful game).
What a shame...that you are such a loser and have to
Wish teenage boys a loss..it's a game..
You should learn sportsman ship and how to be

The last few games have been jokes... as a result the coaches have been able to play kids that will not be playing in the Semis or Finals if they make it.. its been a good opportunity to play kids now so they at least see the field.
Looks like Express Vs. Igloo for Championship. 91 not good at all. a disappointment.
Looking at stats 91 only in quarter's because of easy schedule. Legacy not good either.
well guess you have someone on those teams moder
Looks like Express Vs. Igloo for Championship. 91 not good at all. a disappointment.
Don't be to sure Prime Time took Igloo to OT today and lost to them 6 to 4 in the qualifier. Third time is a charm.

GO PRIMETIME!!
Everyone talking about Igloo and 8th graders from BI but I can you you for a fact prime time has at least 4 2021 kids playing for them . And there were a few on Tri-state ...so enough about this non sense by the way it's a u-13 tournament...lol I hope to see 2 great semi final games.
I have seen all the 4 teams in semi's play this year and all good teams BUT to bad the semi's are not on TV they will probably be better then final. Anything to further lacrosse is ok with me play on Boys.
Wow.....what happened to Team 9+1?
Epic fail making this super team. What a shame......just shows you the advantage of keeping the core of a team together from 1st grade. Huge. Then they blow up 2 great teams.
Feel bad for the boys.....

That's funny because other teams are showing quite the opposite....
Primetime wins 10-7, beats IGLOO! So I guess the westchester/connecticut teams can ball.
Finally!
Igloo parents can finally shut up! Bad mouthed every other team since the fall and have shown nothing since then.
Guess thats going to be long flight back for the Igloo parent who wrote that crap! Westchester/Conn. boys can ball out!

Same thing for igloo. Had a great 2022 team and blew it up to win the WSYL. Feel bad for those kids not the people who made that decision.
Who was the igloo coach threatening a parent after the game?
PT 2022 better than Igloo, DONE!
Crickets after the upset.
Let's just make 1 thing clear prime time had better team but 1 thing is for sure that was no way in he'll a 2022 PT team they had several kids from express north ....so yes they were the better u13 team today
2022 should not be mentioned on here when discussing the WSYL
only U13
The best U13 team will win
Again it's not Igloo
Igloo was behind most of the game and as it got into the 2nd half, they started playing like dirtbags. Butt ending kids off ball between the legs, poke checking players in the face mask off ball ...
WSYL follows the hot dog eating contest on ESPN2 that's to much to swallow LMAO!!!!!!!
Express beat Prime Time a couple weeks ago at NLF 12-7. Will Prime Time get revenge? Prime time went 0-4 at NLF. How fast things change.
That was a different PT Team
And it was a different Igloo team too
Yeah, Express is playing for championship in Denver. Good stuff for Express and Channy!

It's impressive what they've done and legitimizes their program because it's the closest you can get to an even playing field
Every year the WSYL is a joke because it's too far for the better teams in that particular grade. Why not have it in Philadelphia, LI or Baltimore? Every year it's the same thing 2-4 good/great teams and the rest of the teams are garbage.

Its a fun experience I am sure for the kids. End of the day are they the best 24 teams? NO. But LI is probably top 2 in the 2022 group along with t he Hawks.
And don't kid yourself it is more the age issue then distance thats why no Freedom, Crabs, Mesa, Hawks, etc as all of those 2022's have multiple reclassed kids.

You're a joke. Watch it they do it right. It was awesome to watch. And the announcers called put the Crabs for ducking the event. EX press rules the youth lax world!!!! Deal with it.

I'm just glad to see igloo playing anyone that plays at the AA level. Where have they been all summer?

The teams that try to compete with the express or Igloo teams don't go to Denver because they are too old and can't comppe when age is checked. You just saw the best teams play that are legit teams.
This should not be a surprise to any team that has played Igloo. This team and organization are notorious for using racial slurs and demeaning language on the field especially when they are losing and know they have lost. It goes beyond trash talking. So butt ending kids is parr for the course and not a surprise. For this behavior to be tolerated by the club means that they are lead by some serious dirt bags.
Yeah. Every lax family has the money to pay for their family to fly out to Denver. Every single one.
Igloo was on a good tragectory with this 2022 team but AAlexander got greedy. His club, his call but if it ain't broke...
Congrats to Express and all the other teams that competed at WSYL. It is a memory that will last a lifetime for each player that participated. Stop with all the negative comments, these kids are 12 and 13 years old. I for one am amazed at how talented these kids are, and enjoy watching them get better each year!!

You sound like one of the suckers that paid a ton for a tournament with worse teams than you play in your local tournaments.
I heard that WSYL is going to a 1/1 cutoff date next year to be more in line with soccer and international rules.

My Kid played and won last year. Please put on your brakes. This is not a "world champion" event. It is called branding. Be careful. The best teams do not go, and you will see where you actually stand soon enough. Ask that to the kids who were stars last year where they fall now. Enjoy the moment, but understand the event is a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Igloo and prime time had weaker brackets ...
Wish not granted MB... hahahahaha
I heard that WSYL is going to a 1/1 cutoff date next year to be more in line with soccer and international rules.
They will never do that. With a 1/1 cut off date Long Island teams will win every year. The only chance to have another area have a chance to win will be a cut off that is earlier than the 12/1 Long Island school starting date. a 9/1 date helps other areas as the natural grade teams will have more kids born 9/1 to 12/1 which results in older teams than Long Island. It almost worked this year. A 1/1 date would hurt the off Long Island teams as they have more older players.
Keep the 9/1 cut off but make it also grade based with the only exception is if a kid was pushed up a grade.
you guys are all [lacrosse]holes...be happy for long island. Congrats express!!! 3 years in a row Strong Island representing
I have to be honest and I am not a fan of the express program from my own experience, but they looked amazing. Prime time looked very good as well. Express clearly the best team when firing on all cylinders like that. In general a big shout out to all the competitive youth lax programs putting that level of play out there at this age. These kids played the game, and not just in the championship, at the highest level I have ever seen.
Yes but 91 had the easiest they r awful what huge bad business move they have a waste at 2022 ,who would ever go there now . B coach gives you B results. 2016 well, was A better Team bottom line.

The coaches, the parents and the directors should not allow such behavior. There is no place for that conduct in organized youth sports.
OMG. 13 year olds get to play on national tv on the 4th of July. Pretty darn cool if you ask me. The parents of holdbacks are just angry their kids can't play because they are 16 in the 8th grade.

It is cool. Big infomercial paid by the extravagant tournament fees. No better place to play east coast teams than Denver. Suckers smh
Long Island is Mecca. Denver is a joke. Move the Wsyl to Long Island.

Part of it is growing the game and that requires a locaton outside the NE. I don't understand why people are so negative and take every opportunity to complain about something. The only thing that is rough is the money, I get that. But start fundraising once the roster is set. Bottom line for 2017 the Express is the best U13 in the world. Congrats for that.
Hate to say it they are not even the best U13 team on LI
And they will get beat at millon by hawks AGAIN easily.
PT 2022 better than Igloo, DONE!
How is PT 2022 better than Igloo ??? The PT Team that was in Denver was a mix of 2021 / 2022 kids... just like most other teams changing things up for this tournament.
Return both teams to 2022 version and Igloo will win.
Congratulations LI Express! Job well done.
I think that calling the 2017 Express team the best in the world is outrageous. They won that tournament. Congrats and have a safe trip home.

Igloo lost with Black Ice players. Did Express bring 2021 kids down to play? We all know some Express kids were to old to play. prime time brought 2021 kids. The 2021 kids helped Igloo and Prime time a lot. Can you say the same for Express?

Because Body by Jake told me so! Besides, I had to go through 10 mediocre one country teams to get there. Take that!
Where were the Hawks at the WSYL? I wonder they couldn't make it?
This whole conversation is silly... of course there are other teams out there that could have won, of course playing 2022 teams might be different, better, worse etc- but this is a U13 tournament and any club that felt they could put together a great team can go. Many do not, but that doesn't make it a less than tournament. You go, play who is there and earn the championship among those teams. It is no different than the Dicks National Championship in Fl. It's for fun and the kids love it!
As for the experience- couldn't be better. If you have the money, it's a great experience for a kid. Denver is an amazing place to visit, sight see after, and vacation. Don't knock it just because you don't want to or can't spend the money to do so. There are many experiences that some would like to participate in but can't, in all walks in life. If a team or family wants to go- fundraising is possible and will lower the cost. For what the kids experience, it is a great time. If they are in the championship game, even better. What kid doesn't think it's cool to hear their name on tv and have friends and family watch?
My son wasn't there this year, but did get to experience the WSYL in the past and it was totally worth every penny. We speak from experiencing the event and would do it all over again. If it's not for you, so be it, but it's certainly an experience others want and enjoy. To each their own.
Congrats to Express this year. Congrats to PT for a well played game. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Denver!

2022 igloo is 2-1 vs express this year. Igloo should have brought their real team. Probably would have done better. Express has great chemistry because it was the same team all along. Igloo messed with their chemistry and it back fired on them. Hopefully LI represents well at Millon. Going to be hard. All those teams will be bigger and older than LI teams.

There is a reason igloo is not at NLF or LaxFest.

Maybe they should make the cutoff 7/1 rather than 9/1. Better competition & still U13.

last year age cutoff was 5/1, this year it was 9/1 (announced after most rosters already finalized), next year the cutoff is supposedly 1/1. Seems strange to me
It's sad that such a great event brings out the worst in people. My son competed this weekend in Denver. His team didn't do well but he had a blast. I don't know if he plays at the next level but we're not counting on a scholarship so it doesn't really matter. These are kids. It's a sport. It should be fun. For them.
Hawks has to many holdbacks ... half the team is holdbacks
I'm the champion of the world!!!!!
Hawks has to many holdbacks ... half the team is holdbacks
4 kids born before 9/1. Only 1 of them before 5/1. You'll have to find another excuse for losing to them.
Someone is jealous?????
Don't worry mom or dad you can fist pump when you 16 year old scores in his next game against 13 year olds
7 teams at WSYL are also doing Millon National Championship: LI Express, Diamondbacks, Igloo, T9-1, BBL, LegSee, & SoCal Express.
The top Maryland teams will be at Millon Championship as well: Hawks, T9-1MD, Bethesda (DC Express), Madlax, & Rough Riders.
Other teams are Palm Beach Revolution, Team Carolina, Triad, 3D NE, LI Outlaws, Superstar, Richmond Greyhounds, and CT Chargers.
Is this the first tournament to get the big 4 teams from Long Island together? Express, Igloo, T9-1, & Outlaws
Express look good or should I say 3 players (15,20, and Fogo 21) looked good and strangely never came off the field. 20 must have played 43 out of the 48 mins.. with a 7 goal lead you would think coach would give a few other middies a shot.

What was meant by they were I eligible for this tournament?
Just got back yesterday from the WSYL. What a great event, first class all the way. Made the kids feel like pro athletes. Yes it was expensive but well worth it. It's was also great to see kids the same age play against each other. If you have the chance, go to the tournament, it was awesome and my son's team didn't make the finals.
I also got to speak to some of the ESPN guys and they think it is crazy that Lacrosse a contact sport is not age based. Kudos to Quint for calling out the CRABS for not putting in a team.
9/1 is the cutoff because that is when school cutoff is in MD and most of the country. This also makes sure that is a U13 Tournament. Last year with a 5/1 cutoff was a joke. Most of the legggaaaccc kid were 14 at the WSYL. stick with the 9/1 date. At least that gives the MD/Penn kids a chance. got 1/1 than LI will always win.
Express look good or should I say 3 players (15,20, and Fogo 21) looked good and strangely never came off the field. 20 must have played 43 out of the 48 mins.. with a 7 goal lead you would think coach would give a few other middies a shot.
Express Dominated in the Playoffs - FOGO was unstoppable. He went through 91, API and PT like a Hot Knife through butter. He is the reason they won. Would argue that 91 and PT are deeper but they never got the chance to show it. Played Defense the entire game.
It would be interesting to see who would win if there were no faceoffs after every goal.
[quote=Anonymous]Express look good or should I say 3 players (15,20, and Fogo 21) looked good and strangely never came off the field. 20 must have played 43 out of the 48 mins.. with a 7 goal lead you would think coach would give a few other middies a shot.

And if football didn't have extra points, and no three pointers in Basketball. What a moronic statement
Basketball use to have a jump ball after every basket, so maybe alternate possession would even the playing field .

Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about. The Express kid is a stud. Did you hear the Express Coach? He said the kid starting taking F/Os three months ago. HE HAS BEEN TRAINING AT FOs for THREE MONTHS and killed it. BTW, he comes from a very athletic family. Pretty sure you never played in the NFL; his Dad did. Yes NFL, not the NLF.

Other teams are Palm Beach Revolution, Team Carolina, Triad, 3D NE, LI Outlaws, Superstar, Richmond Greyhounds, and CT Chargers.
Is this the first tournament to get the big 4 teams from Long Island together? Express, Igloo, T9-1, & Outlaws
Funny outlaws dad, outlaws is not even close to Bi lg Four and can't come close to running with the Big 3

What a moronic statement...what is your definition of "close"?
Outlaws lost to Express by 1 goal at Laxfest and 1 goal to Igloo at Blatant. Sometimes they play well sometimes not so well.. inconsistent is how I would describe them. But enough with the not even close BS.

Always has to be the Dad? Sorry, that guy has no reason to brag about his son. Kid did it on the field in front of a national audience. My son plays for 91, different year. Unlike you, I appreciate what this kid accomplished and am happy for him. Your jealousy is pathetic. You, and your little fogo are scared of what this kid will become. Sorry pal, your future plans have major problems.
He's been facing off for Garden City team.....dude.
He has been playing and facing off for years with GC team. Now just Fogo's for Express.

Actually Express true FOGO who takes all the FOs during the AA games over the past 3 years didn't make the trip because why, is is too old? But wait, its only the MD teams that have kids older than 9/1, so I read! Can't wait to see who starts next weekend at Millon's "true" National tournament, my guess is the kid that plays against true AA competition and not the Denver joke of a tournament!

Is it grade based or age based ? Must be great to have two great FO's. One for every occasion - now that is great planning & organization.

Sorry but Maryland holdback teams would not do well if the holdbacks were removed. At least Express won with a proper age team. If it was a weak tournament and Maryland teams were afraid to play without the hold backs then those teams from Maryland must be much worse than we all think. Give it a rest. You can't call a tournament weak when your owe team was afraid to play in it.

All teams that went dropped kids and added kids. Most top MA, PA, and MD teams weren't willing to do it. So enjoy your NY championship, but it is extremely far from being a world championship.

Agreed. Does a kid born in July or August really have a tremendous advantage over a kid born in September ? I don't think so.Make the cutoff 7/1 & you'll make it more competitive.
MD can't compete without cheating. Period. You need older kids to beat up on younger kids to feel good about yourselves. You could never beat Express with on age kids. So get over it.

You realize that you can play that game all day. Does a kid born in June really have a tremendous advantage over a kid born in July? Set a cutoff date and accept it. This is what they are trying to do with the system.
If it is 7/1, a summer birthday kid could play in the WSYL two years in a row and in that second year its a big advantage quote=Anonymous]

Maryland teams just chose not to leave a couple kids behind. Some teams from NY or elsewhere chose differently. If the cutoff were announced before teams were set more teams might have participated. NY teams went grade based first by the way. If NY teams don't like it, go back to age based and don't participate in grade based tournaments and see if other areas follow. But don't call teams cheaters for playing by the rules you set. And don't call teams afraid for choosing to stay a team. Just be happy for all of the kids that are doing well at this level and are playing by the rules, regardless of which tournament it is.
Hawks beat API 18-6. API not even a top 5 team from Maryland anymore.

Why - because they don't have any holdbacks? MD and MA are pathetic...
...the sounds of the serf population from the Burger King bathroom stall. All of your chatter means less than the scribbling on a carnival porta-potty wall, smeared in cumulative streaks of each and every one of your diarrhea. You all waste your days in the sewer while the real players and their families are celebrating good times. It's an honor to attend that event. Instead of aiming to win for your kids, instead of getting in the backyard with your kid and training, you air your stinky diarrhea here. P.U. you stink!

API has holdbacks did not bring them to Denver and if API went by NY school age cut off half the team would be 2021.
API does have holdbacks. Please try again.
If you think that API with or without holdbacks could beat the Hawks you are high. If the Hawks played man down the entire game API would lose by 7.
Hats off to API for bringing an age appropriate team to Denver within the 2017 WSYL age guidelines. Great job!
MD can't compete without cheating. Period. You need older kids to beat up on younger kids to feel good about yourselves. You could never beat Express with on age kids. So get over it.
I didn't see Express's normal fogo on TV. Who knows who else normally plays but was too old by the current year's definition of U13. Kudos to express for putting the best kids that met this years definition of u13 for one weekend! Now back to real tournaments with the normal teams.
Hats off to API for bringing an age appropriate team to Denver within the 2017 WSYL age guidelines. Great job!
API will beat Hawks at Millon Championship - 1st game. Both teams will have their holdbacks. You heard it here first.

The words of the prophet ...
Hawks have proven to be the best 2022 team and Express is the best U13 team. No need to debate holdbacks, it is within the guidelines. However, I love hearing Quint Kessenich's opinion. Simply said grade based encourages reclassing and nobody wants to a 6 foot kids vs a 4 foot kid. So let's go LI clubs, time to switch this grade based nonsense.

Way to get overly particular in defense of the indefensible. Why don't you, or anyone else for that matter, explain why grade based is actually a better way to organize this sport at the youth level? In the past, when the madness reached its peak, with recruiting going on at the earlier years - maybe it could have been explained or rationalized. But, now there is simply no recruiting happening in any meaningful way (and by that I mean even seriously watching players) prior to at least kids being in HS for a year. So if you make 9G the first year that you compete against your "graduating class" rather than your age group that would seemingly make sense. Let 13 year old kids play against 13 year old kids and once they become 9g they can be the class of 2022. Seems to make sense. Doesn't fix the hold back, re-class, pre-first type thing entirely, but once you reach HS you are playing kids older than you are anyway. Why should a kid have to endure it as a youth while they are just learning the game?

Every single LI team left kids off their roster for WSYL because they were to old! That is a fact. Please stop acting like LI is the little sisters of the poor. The way those clubs treat kids is embarrassing and strictly a money driven ploy .
Express heavy favorite for the Millon Tourney!
25 man roster, that was the limit for all teams in Denver, so unfortunately some players could not attend. This wasn't a PAL tournament.
Schedule is up on Tourney Machine. It's includes team rosters. Express has 35 kids listed. That's a lot of kids sitting on the bench.

Teams are playing their best lacrosse, Express looked really good this past weekend. 1 loss in this tournament might not mean anything. hard to see teams going undefeated.
Oh my, didn't Express loose to API who couldn't even make semi's in HOCO? And to make the comment that there the 25 man roster was the issue why they left one of the best FOGOs in the country at home makes no sense, the answer is age idiot! I just love watching the constant excuses with no merit. I sure wish everyone had to put their name to their comments, then I am sure that the whining and complaining about 1 to 5 month age difference would stop. You should be pleased that your son is playing against the best competition! I can't wait until 1-year when age based is a reality, what is daddy's excuses then? I guess there will be another excuse why he ends up being a 3 year JV player! Helicopter dads, so sad! This coming from a dad with a kid that has played up for year and now within the age limit...just enjoy that we are seeing the best competition in the world between NY and MD.

I'm just curious what great team didn't go to the joke of a tournament in Denver bc any top true 2022 team was there or atleast tried to qualify maybe ur kid was cut from the 24 count roster that was only to be brought! This was an adventure of a life time and a memory that will never be forgotten or replaced by bitter dads who son didn't make the Denver teams.
Get over it already
LI EXPRESS WON THE FINALS NOW MOVE ON TO SOME OTHER TOPIC OF FIGHTING
Could be a lot of kids sitting on the bench but if the parents continue to pay thennits there fault also..... can't blame anyone but who Evers involved so since ur not involved what do u care? Really get a life as long as ur child is happy where he plays who's business is anyone else's choice to you. Grow up already and stop being jealous.
Personally if my boy wasn't getting time in I would never pay top dollar just to practice. I would have him rethink his goals or train harder with a lax trainer. Then try again to be part of a team and not a bench warmer. I can't imagine that boys enjoy sitting through a game like donkeys while most others are playing
Enough about Express already. Lets talk about the 9d1 and Igloo experiment? How did that turn out for them? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

They are attempting to launch a 2nd A team for the kids that don't play and a mix of others from the outside. Makes sense after seeing what Igloo has been able to do with 2 teams and what 9! had with United and Smash. There is a lot of kids that can play at this age level.

HOPEFULLY, they won't jam that team up with another 35 kids! If they find the right kids, it could definitely be a very good competitive team.

It seems to me, and could be wrong, but some top clubs have not had the success this spring/summer that it has had in the past. Express has done really well, and that goes for Legacy as well. Really impressed with how they have been able to grow as a club. I think those two clubs are now the top two on the Island, in my opinion, and I am biased as my son plays for one of the clubs. But just going off the eye test, that's what I see. I think talent will migrate there as we head into tryouts.
Hawks have proven to be the best 2022 team and Express is the best U13 team. No need to debate holdbacks, it is within the guidelines. However, I love hearing Quint Kessenich's opinion. Simply said grade based encourages reclassing and nobody wants to a 6 foot kids vs a 4 foot kid. So let's go LI clubs, time to switch this grade based nonsense.
so what are you saying, there isnt any age grade appropriate 6 footers? Wrong, I saw at least one!
Way to get overly particular in defense of the indefensible. Why don't you, or anyone else for that matter, explain why grade based is actually a better way to organize this sport at the youth level? In the past, when the madness reached its peak, with recruiting going on at the earlier years - maybe it could have been explained or rationalized. But, now there is simply no recruiting happening in any meaningful way (and by that I mean even seriously watching players) prior to at least kids being in HS for a year. So if you make 9G the first year that you compete against your "graduating class" rather than your age group that would seemingly make sense. Let 13 year old kids play against 13 year old kids and once they become 9g they can be the class of 2022. Seems to make sense. Doesn't fix the hold back, re-class, pre-first type thing entirely, but once you reach HS you are playing kids older than you are anyway. Why should a kid have to endure it as a youth while they are just learning the game?
Holdbacks and Reclass has always been the cowards and made fun of. Nothing has changed. No respect for older kids playing down. Sorry.
If the grade based competition does not fit within your ethical arena, then simply do not have your son participate in the grade based system. There are plenty of tournaments that have the age based categories that clubs can participate in. But to participate in something and then complain about that system when you know the rules up front is a cop out by adults. If you know the rules going in and agree to play, then STFU. You have no basis for your tired, sorry whining.

Even if its your sons best friend and he misses the ever changing cut off by 1month, 1 week, even 1 day. Or if best friend is only a few days older and have been playing all sports together and in the same class together.
The no respect is guys like you that play in a system that is set and then complain about it on a site that caters to it.
Not all these kids are out to cheat or get an on field advantage. Their birthdays just happen to fall on a date that an entire sport can't get behind and support. Plenty of leagues and programs out there to play in .

It's that simple, wish it was. And there is people like me who debate the issue aND those who just complain.
Spoken like a father has held his son back so he can be a lax bro.

Does anyone know who the divisions are running at Bull Dog Bash in Yale? A, B, C, D etc????

Channy is trying to put together a second A team. Unfortunately, the parents of the non Denver roster, but part of the 40+ refuse to go and would rather have their son ride the bench and never play just so they can say, my son is on Channy's A Team. Who are the fools here? $2800 for what? No championship t-shirts because there are usually only 24. To proud to play on a second strong team? Not fools, idiots!
Does anyone know who the divisions are running at Bull Dog Bash in Yale? A, B, C, D etc????
Looks like they broke the teams up in fours and divisions of A B C and D for some. No name teams in the 2022 other than Tri-State, Brotherhood (PA) and True Fool, I mean True Blue. Weak weak weak tournament for the 2022s.

To each his own. Some don't like the B team/2nd team tag or will place their kid on an A team of a lesser club. Who cares. The 2022 age group is so deep that when these kids get to the recruiting years there be 8 LI teams that will be considered elite.

Channy used up his 2022's for his moment in the sun. Now they mean nothing and he'll focus on the 2023 Haugen team for 2018 WSYL. In the meantime, the 22's will be playing the same 5 teams as they are and have been playing all year - all over the country - but the same 5 teams none the less. People pay to put their kid on the bench are wasting their money.

Tri-State 91 a decent team, and the PA teams are good. The rest, well not so good. Interested as to why Tri-State and True Blue played in this tourney if they both claim to be "A" teams. Again, playing in tourneys where clearly there is NO real competition. ICON did well this tourney too, but they do not claim to be an "A" team. Overall, Deez people are nuts!

Edge. 91. PrimeTime. Leading Edge. Express. Same team, different field
Prime Time comes back 5 days later and beats Express. You gotta love the parity.

Is Express still "king of the world" ? or has their crown been lost already?
Congratulations to the PrimeTime boys and parents. Good game, good win and good tournament
Express is the best team still, they did not play there game and everyone has those days. No one can beat them when they are on their game

Quite possible, but the better team won on July 4 and the better team won today. Move on, next tournament.

Today was at Prime Time Summer Inv. It's on Tourney Machine. Score was 9-7.

Congratulations to Primetime on today's win. For the record, Express has beaten Primetime 4 out of 5 games this Spring and Summer, Express scoring a total of 45 goals against Primetime's total of 28 goals.
like the guy said, they keep playing the same teams in different venues. why would anyone pay for that? Save hotels, flights, road trips and play at the same field every week, then run to this forum and d*ck measure. saves time and money.
a loss is a loss

Let me save all of you, your Sunday afternoon. "Holdback" "Reclass" "Classless" "My team is Best" "You're a Loser" "Delusional" "Money Grab" "Double Holdback" "T-Shirt" "Stinky Lady" "9D1" "Zummnuts" "Cheater" "Ripoff"
That sums up the last 10 years...
Have a Nice Day

BAHAHHAHAHA
Today was at Prime Time Summer Inv. It's on Tourney Machine. Score was 9-7.
Ref's home cookin
Come on pt is a good team. Better than they played at Denver, you can be better on any day. Not saying they are better than express most days, just today. but it's a good team!!
Amy team can win and lose at any time. Especially kids. We played a team last year and they beat us 7-1. 1 hour later, we beat them 9-2. I should say my players did. That's the point, we (you and I) haven't lost any games this year. Kids play and move on. We sit here and do this.
Parity... you forget Prime time beat Igloo in the semis last week. They are good. If they won a few face off last week and didn't slide off the high crease, it's a different game. I am.sure Prime Time adjusted to that.
Could be a lot of kids sitting on the bench but if the parents continue to pay thennits there fault also..... can't blame anyone but who Evers involved so since ur not involved what do u care?

I would thing it needs to be completely independent from the AA team. It can't be a combined practice with the AA team. Needs it's own identity and then it can work. If it is headlined with a coaching name because some parents need that, then it may not be as successful as it can be. Igloo created this and that 2nd team is legit.
Express Dad, get a life. Congrats Primetime. Saw no excuses out of them when they lost. Just saw the rankings. New #1. As Express knows though, you are only as good as your next game! Stay down on the farm.
Yes 9D1 had it and lost it with a self inflicted wound.

Igloo had it for about 3 weeks in the fall.

Vegas has Laxachusetts winning NLF this weekend. Good luck to all the teams. Don't be surprised if HHH and Empire step up to the challenge too.
if it wasn't for the PT 21's they would have never been able to compete. PT 21's D much stronger then igloo 22's. not to mention all of the 22's that are really 21's!!!!!!!

Except they're all "age appropriate" for that one tournament. You should really be complaining about all the LI Express North kids on that team who got run at the expense of PT kids - oh wait ... Igloo did that too. Never mind.

And people love to bash Igloo for using the age appropriate kids from their 2021 teams BUT at least those kids are from the organization! They didnt cherry pick kids from other organizations
Okay, both of you clowns are right. Primetime and Igloo were wrong for depriving the 2022 team members of the opportunity and rather filling the roster with players from other teams and clubs.
Igloo used on age players from their own organization. All legal
Look the WSYL is over, move on already, if you still want to talk about the WSYL, move it to 2023 now since they are on deck to go, congrats to LI Express.

All will be decided at the Millon championship this weekend. Prime Time is riding their momentum, Express has a pretty good record from early this summer and Igloo, T9-1, Legacy, and Outlaws have something to prove.
Attention to detail, as Primetime is not playing in the Millon National Championship.

Yep. And none of them will beat Hawks. But thanks for your tax dollars.
hawks have 14-15 year old kids on the team..most of these boys in 2022 are just turning 13...Hawks should win it with these kids that should be going into 9th and 10th grade but parents see nothing wrong with it because its the norm in MD and MA and Canada

. . . and NJ and PA.
Black ice is at Naptown so the 21 Igloo team that lost to PT is their B team
Well the only thing 9D1, Legacy and Outlaws is a tolerance for mediocrity.
Hawks have proven to be the best 2022 team and Express is the best U13 team. No need to debate holdbacks, it is within the guidelines. However, I love hearing Quint Kessenich's opinion. Simply said grade based encourages reclassing and nobody wants to a 6 foot kids vs a 4 foot kid. So let's go LI clubs, time to switch this grade based nonsense.
so what are you saying, there isnt any age grade appropriate 6 footers? Wrong, I saw at least one!
Way to get overly particular in defense of the indefensible. Why don't you, or anyone else for that matter, explain why grade based is actually a better way to organize this sport at the youth level? In the past, when the madness reached its peak, with recruiting going on at the earlier years - maybe it could have been explained or rationalized. But, now there is simply no recruiting happening in any meaningful way (and by that I mean even seriously watching players) prior to at least kids being in HS for a year. So if you make 9G the first year that you compete against your "graduating class" rather than your age group that would seemingly make sense. Let 13 year old kids play against 13 year old kids and once they become 9g they can be the class of 2022. Seems to make sense. Doesn't fix the hold back, re-class, pre-first type thing entirely, but once you reach HS you are playing kids older than you are anyway. Why should a kid have to endure it as a youth while they are just learning the game?
Well said and makes complete sense.
wish it were true. But Saw UNC and MD looking at 2021 at a tournament this past week. there are not even in HS (although some looked and sounded as if they were going to be sophomores) and were bigger then 2020's and some 2019/18's. cant even make this stuff up.

Only 4 kids born before 9/1/03. Only 1 kid born before 5/1/03. Hardly "stacked" with holdbacks.

That is 5 older kids. Can make a big difference. Also, how many born Sept, Oct, Nov 2003. Probably a bunch. Team probably has 8-10 kids who would be 2021 in NY. Basically half a team.

So I take it those 5 holdbacks are their most dominant players and get the majority of playing time at their positions? So 5 out of 10 on the field at one time, no that isn't stacked.

You would be correct. Without those 4 kids they are an average team. Maybe the big kid should learn to use his left hand instead of just trying to bull dodge through kids that are actually supposed to be going into 8th grade that he outweighs by 50 lbs

It is True.. The end of watching 2021 is here.. Only a few leftovers of coaches are wacthing this summer...VERY LITTLE....and soon it will be none watching..
So that excuse for grade based holdbacks is out... They cant even approach the kid for 2 more full seasons of lacrosse...
Remember the big need was to watch 8th graders because they needed to give them a offer in 9th grade..well its 11th grade now,,so with old logic 10th grade will be the huge year..but I bet some will be watching 9th going into 10th in summer too with 10th the Big year....8th No one will watch..Sorry apologists ..
Does 2020 Crush have 2 -2022 age players on their team?
No. They are in grade 2022 but age wise they should be in 2020
Well the only thing 9D1, Legacy and Outlaws is a tolerance for mediocrity.
Although they have not won a Ship 91 has had a pretty solid summer - Lost in the Ship to the Hawks at NLF, Lost to Express in 2 Championships in a row - Laxfest and Tri Star and Lost to Express at WSYL when they ran into a buzz saw at the X. Along the way the beat some pretty good teams including PT with their older kids, BLC and 91 MD. 20 and 4 this summer.
No. They are in grade 2022 but age wise they should be in 2020
Both holdbacks. Really 2021s playing up on 2020.
Only 4 kids born before 9/1/03. Only 1 kid born before 5/1/03. Hardly "stacked" with holdbacks.

4 total born before 9/1. 1 of them before 5/1. Only 4 holdbacks. 3 summer birthdays and 1 repeat.
Calling out a kid about not using his left when then kids is actually "of age" and is just playing his heart out to do the best he can...really? You are a coward coming on here anonymously and calling kids out that you have no idea of the facts. So sad that your jealousy brings you to the point of calling out a legit 13 year old that just so happens to be tall. Don't you know think that kids hit growth spurts at various ages, actually, I would't expect that from someone that flaps off at the mouth without merit. Put your name out here coward and then see how much of a big talker you are...you are just trying to strike up conflict but can't back it!

Makes sense. 6 year grandfather clause transition period to get all "overage" kids out of middle school sports.

Maybe I am missing something but if a kid is ~14, and therefore more age-appropriate for a 2021 team, and this is a 2022 thread, how is that kid playing up??
Predictions for the 2022 Championship this week. I betting the team with the most Holdbacks Wins and then their parents say it's only 1 or 2 years so get over it.
Enough about Express already. Lets talk about the 9d1 and Igloo experiment? How did that turn out for them? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
It seems to me, and could be wrong, but some top clubs have not had the success this spring/summer that it has had in the past. Express has done really well, and that goes for Legacy as well. Really impressed with how they have been able to grow as a club. I think those two clubs are now the top two on the Island, in my opinion, and I am biased as my son plays for one of the clubs. But just going off the eye test, that's what I see. I think talent will migrate there as we head into tryouts.
Good luck trying to migrate to Express Channy with a 40 plus roster already!
Channy is trying to put together a second A team. Unfortunately, the parents of the non Denver roster, but part of the 40+ refuse to go and would rather have their son ride the bench and never play just so they can say, my son is on Channy's A Team. Who are the fools here? $2800 for what? No championship t-shirts because there are usually only 24. To proud to play on a second strong team? Not fools, idiots!
They already had some practices and in my opinion it will not meet expectations. I am of the opinion that second A teams don't work when they are formed this way. i.e. parents who think their kid should be an AA player and throw a headline on it to appease them to accept the team invite. Second A teams only work when they are developed independently and gain success through practice and on the field. The progression has to be upward, not downward. There are many examples of this working and the common theme is independent of the AA team. Again, just my opinion and I could be wrong.

Talking about 2020 Crush kids who are 2022 grad year in school. Assuming they are both 2021 based on DOB, don't they play up on Crush? No one has said they are playing 2022 even though they could under the current rules (holdback or not).
Igloo used on age players from their own organization. All legal
Yes legal. But stop saying "it takes a team..." when you cut kids from your AA team so older kids get another chance. Not good for the "culture". But yes legal.

Except Junior has been known to play for the 2023 Bandits when they play up in 2022B brackets - again all legal because he is NOW a 2022. And the only problem people ought to have with that is that the organization calls them a 2023 team (false advertising).

Lots of smoke and mirrors. Jr, who stands in the crease the whole game(better get a couple) should be entering 9th grade, but often plays 2 years down, And another prominent Crusher, who is now a Blazer, should be entering 11th. Can't make this stuff up. Only in the Lax world! Keep pumping that brand.....yet they love to put the Crabs down??

JR has always played up and that is a fact my son played with the organization Not a fan nor hater but know the boy. Never reclassed started school late Could technically be a young 2021 but is and has been a 2022 since K. FACT. People think he's a 2020 because he plays up on that team. I personally give them credit because he plays up not down. Regardless as good as he is and he is elite. The team we have at express is very deep and talented

Yes coaches will evaluate and get players to their prospect days and use those to connect
hawks have 14-15 year old kids on the team..most of these boys in 2022 are just turning 13...Hawks should win it with these kids that should be going into 9th and 10th grade but parents see nothing wrong with it because its the norm in MD and MA and Canada
Only 4 kids born before 9/1/03. Only 1 kid born before 5/1/03. Hardly "stacked" with holdbacks.
So I take it those 5 holdbacks are their most dominant players and get the majority of playing time at their positions? So 5 out of 10 on the field at one time, no that isn't stacked.
Hawks vs express in the final is my prediction.
Technically? What does that even mean? June is a late birthday? I snif a holdback. What is tue is he is a good player who sometimes plays up and sometimes plays down. Age wise, a true 2021 FACT
Good luck to everyone down in Maryland for 2022 championships should be a great finale

Depends on whether you use the 5/1, 9/1, 12/1, or 1/1 for your definition of holdback.
So who played goalie for igloo the 3 game?
Just counted 35 boys on LI Express. How many actually play?

What next fogo gets hurt let's borrow a player from a different team....submitted rosters mean nothing just another black eye for MM and youth lax
Checkout express roster..kids with no jersey #'s listed. How can you verify that. They could be anyone! And knowing chanenbuck$ probably way older kids.

Surprised at some of the scores. Freedom and Big 4 HHH should probably been there instead of some of the weaker teams. Any other clubs that should have been there instead some of the weaker ones? I thought LegggyC and Outlaws would have done better.
So who played goalie for igloo the 3 game?
Younger brother of a 2022 player. I think he was a 2023 player.
The goalie for HAWKS IS A two time holdback ...

You guys are complete tools. Igloo is using the goalie from their B team. The goalie who got hurt is one one the best goalies at this age. No they don't carry two goalies. Our prayers are with any player on any team that gets hurt and nobody cares if they replace that player with an equal or lesser player. Read back on your posts, you sound like monkeys. "Sucks kid got hurt" "black eye for MM"...you are a jerk off. The kid broke his leg, maybe that's a good time to keep your mouth shut and wish the kid the best.

Should not have been allowed. It's on the coach if they didn't bring a 2nd goalie. Why bother with rosters, it's all BS. Which team did they borrow from.

Not borrowed in house. Stop crying

They would never bring in guest players., that doesn't happen. But those 12 or so that don't play in meaningful games love the training and practice time they get. It will improve next year when 2nd A team is rostered, which will be lucky to be a B team.

doesn't matter who it was or why he was there, if the payer was not on the submitted roster should not have been allowed to play. This tournament had rules that stated all players must be on the submitted rosters. Rules are rules!! I blame the coach for not having a 2nd goalie,
So who played goalie for igloo the 3 game?
They let them add a player mid tournament. No verification of grade, name , nothing. Complete BS! So much for the strict roster and grade verification.
Interesting igloo won last game vs palm beach 10-9 with borrowed goalie. Sucks kid got hurt but injuries are part of the game. Igloo carries 20 plus kids and no one plays goalie???

are you really this big of a [lacrosse] tool? clearly your boy sucks or you are an igloo hater. If you're upset they still won with someone two years younger then you should get more shooting reps for your pathetic kid.

Admirable but doesn't change that igloo broke the rules because he was not on roster. Doesn't matter if he was 5 or 15 wasn't on roster games should not count
On a separate note, wow outlaws really suck. Why do they keep trying to play up with the A teams. Should play with the B teams and win some/lose some vs. traveling to just lose all the time. Bottom line, if you are not in the top 4-5 in your own backyard then you are a B team.
I really thought it was a joke but Express DOES have 35 on the roster. How does that work? Does each kid play 1.5 minutes? I guess kids are okay with that if the parents are willing to drive them there for 1 minute of fame. I can't afford the tuition, the travel expense and the upkeep of equipment so my kid can play 1 whole minute. Kudos to the Express parents who can! So jealous!!

Okay Palm Beach mommy - I know it's tough that an 11 year old beat your team and if it makes you feel better go ahead and keep embarrassing your team & kid on here...
For the record. It's a youth event and I have no problem with them adding a goalie. However, the rules state you cannot. As below from the site.

Classy responses from igloo moms and dads. Get over yourselves. These are 13 year old kids. You need more hobbies and less dependence on your children. It is a GAME.
Express is out. Will any LI team even make it to semis?
Seriously, even when goalie leaves in an ambulance? You lost to a 2023 goalie. Get over it!
Maryland parents are an embarrassment. They should see themselves on video. And they only way for an MD team to win is to holdback and/or reclass you kid. Also embarassing
Express is out. Will any LI team even make it to semis?
Igloo and T9-1LI both should make it.
Well if you ain't cheating you ain't trying, right?
T9-1LI loses to Bethesda by 1
Igloo beats Richmond Hounds by 1

You are hysterical you come on here and you are preaching class! ROTFL!
Outlaws went 2-2. Actually had a really good showing. Not sure why you bash this team. Obviously you weren't at the tournament. Express goes 3-1, 91 goes 3-1, leh_g_sea goes 0-4. Igloo still going at 4-0. Don't see where the embarrassment lies. But I guess the outlaw hater is back. Scan it!!

Same goes for that 3D New England team. How many 14 year olds can a team have on its roster. Having 2-3 freak size kids on a 2022 roster seems normal. They had about 8-9 dudes with their "man body".
The kid who played goalie plays baseball he don't even play lacrosse ... true ...now that even makes it funnier

Face it.. you love The Outlaws... we love you!
All one goal games last round.
Checkout express roster..kids with no jersey #'s listed. How can you verify that. They could be anyone! And knowing chanenbuck$ probably way older kids.
They would never bring in guest players., that doesn't happen. But those 12 or so that don't play in meaningful games love the training and practice time they get. It will improve next year when 2nd A team is rostered, which will be lucky to be a B team.

Yup we all know that...they don't duck anyone, they just travel far distances to lose, they are a legit B team, should stay home and play the B teams
No guests for Express, 23 players. Posted roster is from the fall.
Outlaw troll is back! Get a life! Boys don't shy away from tough competition. All games this tourney were close. One goal either way. Maybe u should get your son some more training so he can make and play on an A team

Ha ha, 1 goal...there was only one A team in your division and they throttled you 12-6. Other games were one goal b-c they were B teams. "Boys don't shy away..." idiot, boys play in the tournaments their parents and the coaches put them in...no shame in being a good B team
Too bad Igloo didn't have a magical run in Denver with their 8th graders against lesser competition. Maybe they should have brought their true team to Denver. Hope the goalie is ok.
That game was a lot closer than score, they played them in a two goal game earlier in year. Game was 6-6 at one point and Bethesda's keeper played off the charts in 2nd Half. BBL just lost a one goal game to a team that almost beat the Hawks. I wouldn't consider them a B team what so ever. So Cal is also definitely not a B team.
If you really knew lax, then outlaws would impress. They are a awesome hard working bunch. By the way this is a invitational top AA tournament. Sorry your son could not play. outlaws going to draw lots of talent. Number 4 on island which is the hot bed of lax. That's pretty damm good. Go back under the rock you crawled from, your a loser
The goalie for HAWKS IS A two time holdback ...
Lol. That is funny.
Best of the worst: 91 Maryland Moms & Igloo Dads! Good luck boys
Nothing magical about a kid in surgery. All the best to the family

What are you talking about? There was no B team in our pool. Bethesda was the real deal and the team you know. BBL went 19-6 playing a full AA schedule this season. I saw where they loss to 91 LI by 1, Igloo by 2, and LIE by 1.
No B teams in this tournament. Hate to break it to you. Let it go. Let it go. They are 12-13 year old kids. Do you feel like a big man coming on here trashing them? I don't get it. What are getting out of it? If you have a kid on the team and he or you are not happy, just don't go back. Go somewhere else. I'm sure they be happy to have your kid play for them. You on the other hand.....are what's wrong with youth sports.

Don't feed the troll. What team is his kid on? Hmm... crickets
Outlaws lost to Igloo B. Enough said...Shhhhh, I got you in a head lock, you are going to sleep...go to sleep, you are asleep don't even say anything. So, Igloo A, Express, 91, Igloo B, GC town team...then outlaws

Igloo parents sound a lot like 9D1 parents did before combining for a WS super team. Used to be a classy organization but winning turned the parents toxic. Sad day when it should be about the kids winning one for their fallen goalie. Instead, jackass parents make this about them. There are a few former 9D1 parents on the team so not a surprise. Something about those Long Island clubs.

Sorry everyone! That would be an Igloo parent. They can not help themselves. Total fools
Jealousy is an unattractive trait. Keep the jealousy posts coming. People turn ugly when they don't win
Watch the former 91, now express parents jump ship for the new number one, Igloo. Pathetic.
Skull and cross bones nation is growing whether we are an A or B team. Who cares. Play, have fun, bring your red solo and enjoy. It's life style. Nice to see more and more of the skull and cross bones tats on the small of the mom's backs as well. Cult is growing. B player Igloo/91/Express castoffs welcome along with the crazy moms.
Self proclaimed. The team won one legitimate tournament with top teams this spring and summer. Igloo offers players to join for free and they decline. No thank you
Sorry to break up this AA team conversation. My son can't make one of those teams, and would ride the pine if he did. What are the good 2nd teams. And not just ability, coaching, commitment to the team, etc. Please refrain from the wise the cracks as you begin to type. Thanks.
I know Igloo accomplished this very successfully. Who else is on that trajectory. And who can share what Igloo successful.

Playing on a second team within an organization is probably not your better bet - those teams seem to get second string status to their better counterpart within their organizations, and then when they feel like it, they bring boys from their top team down to their lower team to win - this displaces playing time for players that are ACTUALLY on the second team and is antithetical to the whole idea of having the second team. Igloo did that yesterday with Black Ice players playing with Avalanche yesterday. You're better off being on the top or only team in an organization that might be hair below the top teams.

Yes the director is a class AA clown but I still had respect for this program entering the year. No more.
"Winning while cheating" and crowing about it.
I'm talking about the adults.
You would think such an exalted organization would know how to adequately field a team, and not cry about people hating them when they decide that the rules everyone else has to play by don't apply to them.
Their boys are talented enough to have had one of their own on-roster players play in goal and still win. Especially if their contention is that the "substitute" was "two years younger and not even a goalie."
The coaches actions cheated the boys out of celebrating a true win (you know, by the rules).
Probably would have won anyway--but still rings a little hollow.
Parents, you should really just tone "your" championship down a bit.
But nice work to a hard working and talented group of boys.
One thing is for sure some Igloo people are sore losers and sore winners. The parents are to blame for the behavior of a select few. Congrats to the boys.
Does anyone know this Express coach who running the Express "hybrid" team for Channy? JK? He says he has been coaching with Channy 2022 but people say he is lying. Seems like he knows how to run a practice.
No idea what to think.......
Express also lost to Igloo B in same tournament . I hope this is a kid making these posts and not a "grown man"
You hope huh. Get real. The point is Igloo toots their horn when they have losses too. Sorry if Igloo B gets roped in with them but it is what it is. They are not liked very much

But you didn't get on tv did you and you boasted about winning the whole thing before you got there. Just stop your utter nonsense. You even brought in some 2021s. Who are you kidding. This weekend was all one goal games. Get off your high blue horse
Okay psychic, history speaks for itself
Skull and cross bones nation is growing whether we are an A or B team. Who cares. Play, have fun, bring your red solo and enjoy. It's life style. Nice to see more and more of the skull and cross bones tats on the small of the mom's backs as well. Cult is growing. B player Igloo/91/Express castoffs welcome along with the crazy moms.
They have gone from a legitimate organization to a JOKE! They are showing every single tournament how mediocre they really are. The ship is sinking time to JUMP OFF !
You are a bitter parent. My son is on Outlaws.. talent is there.. team needs more consistency. We are absolutely staying!
That makes you and idiot ! As long as things don't change there you will always lose to the better teams. The talent is not there may some kids are really good but since The Outlaws consistently lose against better competition its obvious they are not an A team !
Don't let the door hit you on the way out!!!
These are 12/13 yr old kids... they continue to learn and grow...
consistency will come. I must be an idiot if I believe that right?
I asked my 13 yo son, and he said he would take the WSYL any day over any tournament he has ever played in. Ask any college player if they remember any youth tournaments and they will say no. Every kid that played in Denver will remember that experience, especially Primetime and Express.

That's cool. I get it. The trophy is shinier even if it took less effort to get it. Just like participation trophies - it's all about having a positive experience that everyone can grow from.

Bingo - flying across the country and everything else about the experience outside of lacrosse is what make it memorable . . . driving up and down the east coast on 95 for 4+ plus hours or more in summer traffic is so memorable, especially to go play on the same college and high school fields, year in and year out . . .

Igloo did it two years in a row and couldn't pull it off. Even with a ""select team" Less effort is just a bitter lie
16-20 on this list had no business being at this tournament. Any other team with a few breaks could have went on a big run.

What happened? Just a few weeks ago this tournament meant nothing? When Igloo was favored to win it..it meant nothing right? A "B" tournament...right? Congrats to Express for winning and Primetime for making it to the final by the way both teams played very well out there and deserve all the accolades that come with making it to the final. They showed up and they won, good for those kids.Everyone on here still claimed that the Millon tournament was the only true Championship for the 2022 age group. Take a look back on thread if you need to refresh your memory. All the teams showed up and played their hearts out and on this particular weekend Igloo was the best. Tournament is called the National Championship and everyone on here put all the weight on it to determine who was REALLY the best at 2022 team and guess what..Igloo won.......The End
Coach sent a blast email out begging parents to stop embarrassing themselves and hopefully it works

I applaud the effort to have rankings but they need to be updated weekly based on performance. Publishing rankings based on 3 days of playing by just a few of the top teams is a joke.
Also, how can inside lacrosse have any journalistic integrity when they sponsor and cover weak tournaments, then ignore tournaments with higher levels of competition.
And broke the rules doing it

Igloo cheated. Sorry, playing a non-roster kid is cheating.
They probably didn't have to cheat to win, but they chose to.
Some don't think that makes them "the best team" that weekend.
Iglloo won, end of story?
Give me a break.
They are a good team, obviously. But only when they win while playing by the rules can take that stance.

Integrity...that's funny. You do realize there's no integrity with any grade based tournaments. Million tournament didn't have higher levels of competition, nobody who has seen what goes on at the grade based tournaments really takes them seriously. It's good competition but in no way rewards lacrosse skill, just be happy if you can compete well. Skill will win out once puberty is over.
You didn't complain when the rankings were posted after the qualifying rounds, did you? Rankings are legit based on legit age for the WSYL. Case closed.

And by "top teams" do you mean grade based because that equals older, not better.
My son plays for another program at a different age group and I'm no fan of AA, but give it a break. Igloo won with a goalie they dropped in off the sidelines following a devastating injury. Big deal. let it go. They won. Stop being weenies and sore losers about. As for the roster rules-extreme extenuating circumstances here and I'm sure if they dropped a defensemen in they still would've won. Whoever is complaining is a loser. Igloo berat your team last weekend. That's it. Its over.

how is their goalie doing? what happened to him?

Top teams that meet the requirements for 99% of the tournaments and skip the 1% of tournaments for which they don't meet requirements.
how is their goalie doing? what happened to him?
Compound fracture of his left femur. He had surgery Sunday morning and he watched the finals from the stadium in a full leg cast.

Igloo parent...still thought this was funny
Now that the tournament season is over...do kids still move around to different teams at this age group? Does the recruiting rule changes affect this decision by clubs and kids alike ?
My guess is there will be very limited movement. Most teams are set at this grade. Your son would have to really bring it to a tryout to get a spot on one of the top teams. Im sure some parents will try to make a move for their kids because they want their kid on a winning team, not a good reason for change.

Any kids that come to the top teams are usually selected well in front of tryouts. Tryouts are to fill the other teams.

Easy answer. The clubs do not have to and should not change. All the grade based bashers act like there are not age based tournaments or leagues however, there are plenty. So take a stand and not allow your son to play in grade based and only participate in age based, but whatever the case shut up the whining about grade based.

I disagree. Seeing what took place at 9D1 I would say that an overhaul is likely. May be your best chance to make that team.

What makes it myopic? The fact that there are age based and grade based leagues and tournaments is the reality. And if everyone who complains about grade based being unfair has their kids play age based, all will be right, no? Or do you want to see an age/grade/height/weight requirement league? The bottom line is you have your son play either grade or age based events. There really is no other option....is there? No myopic responses needed.
Fake news! Has already been proven wrong.
Proven wrong on the field or do you mean someone hacked InsideLacrosse.com to make Igloo the new #1?

Thank you for your not so "short "rant . A simple fix would be to age base like Youth hockey (born in 04 play 04). Contact sports before High school should be age based simple fact.

Agree 100%. Now you take up the fight with every sports governing body so that this can finally get fixed. Start with football! Hockey is already done and maybe soccer too? This shouldn't take you long. Only lacrosse, football, water polo, rugby, basketball (yes contact), girls lacrosse, wrestling.....start there.
Cmon man, you are smarter than this BS sound of music solution. You have to be. Please say you are?

Try again. As for leagues, there is only one grade based league in MD and plenty of age based ones. Plenty of age based tournaments as well. But if you feel that there really aren't that many, start your own tournament. I am sure it will a hit with all the grade based bashers out there.

No, actually I have not. But what is obvious is that you helicopter parents feel the need to tell people about themselves and their families. However, the bottom line is that there are options for however you see fit to play your kids. But instead you rather whine and cry about people abiding by rules you deem unfair in some leagues and tournaments. Stop crying and enter those events you feel fall within your ethical bounds as you would want your kids to play. But for your own dignity, stop the crying.

I guess Channy saw it coming two years ago when he asked me to hold my A+ student and AA athlete back to be on the 2022 team. Thanks but no thanks.
Yeah ok
No, this is exactly right... maybe hard for you to understand but when your kid is smart and athletic you don't have them repeat a grade in school.
Let me guess. You are at 901 now
Nope
So you stayed with the guy who made such an outlandish proposal.
Attack on Express is 10/03 DOB. played both WSYL and MM tourney. Should be rising 9th. HOLDBACK

Maryland kids are already 14 and their cutoff is September 1st. A one month hold back because NY is December 1st is not a factor. We are talking about the kids 50 pounds heavier and a foot taller. That's dangerous at this age. And the thirteen year olds beat the holdbacks anyway. The point is safety at this age.
Did Express have their Texas kid with them again? Now why would that be allowed?

Maybe LU should get up to speed with almost the rest of the entire country and change your school cutoff to 9/1. They maybe you can stop bitching about a couple months difference.

It's not a couple months. Who are you kidding. Holdbacks at this age are obvious. Kids and coaches won't answer simple questions, like how old are you..

He lives here in the summer. He's not a holdback btw
US Lacrosse establishes eligibility guidelines to promote a safe and sportsmanlike environment. US Lacrosse believes that leagues, associations, and other organizers of youth lacrosse should provide playing opportunities that, as much as possible, aim to establish a "level playing field" among players of similar age. Source: (
https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/age-eligibility-guidelines)
I applaud US Lacrosse for doing this. And I remain confused why the clubs just can't change. The WYSL showed us that age based still produces the same level of competition.
Easy answer. The clubs do not have to and should not change. All the grade based bashers act like there are not age based tournaments or leagues however, there are plenty. So take a stand and not allow your son to play in grade based and only participate in age based, but whatever the case shut up the whining about grade based.
There are not plenty. They are few and far between
Try again. As for leagues, there is only one grade based league in MD and plenty of age based ones. Plenty of age based tournaments as well. But if you feel that there really aren't that many, start your own tournament. I am sure it will a hit with all the grade based bashers out there.
There are few..myopic comments

Oh......okay.......but his permanent residence is in TX, correct????

Yes - sure. They will just change the school cutoff for the purposes of lax! As though any locale could just go out and change their age cutoff for any reason without serious considerations of cost, organization, planning, etc.
Ask Millon, both 90d1 MD and 90d1 LI have players from Texas.

I missed the governance in travel lacrosse about residence requirements relative to a club. Where can I read about this??

Any kid that is on multiple club teams that doesn't go to the weekly practices month after month and just shows up for a couple games is a ringer.

That's an internal club problem, but not an issue for opponents . . .

Why don't you ask them for yourself since it's bugging you. No rules have been broken. You sound very bitter. This is about safety at this age concerning holdbacks. The kitchen sink is not needed

So Maryland is filled with them. How about the fact that the kid misses his friends. Go haunt someone else

Not bitter at all. Just calling it like I see it just like everyone else does. The kid does not live here in the summer – and if he does he stays with his friends when there are tourneys and does not have a residence in New [lacrosse].

Pointless is correct. bvcThere are several multi state programs. The Starz draw from the West Coast.

Skull and cross bones nation is growing whether we are an A or B team. Who cares. Play, have fun, bring your red solo and enjoy. It's life style. Nice to see more and more of the skull and cross bones tats on the small of the mom's backs as well. Cult is growing. B player Igloo/91/Express castoffs welcome along with the crazy moms.
They have gone from a legitimate organization to a JOKE! They are showing every single tournament how mediocre they really are. The ship is sinking time to JUMP OFF !
You are a bitter parent. My son is on Outlaws.. talent is there.. team needs more consistency. We are absolutely staying!
That makes you and idiot ! As long as things don't change there you will always lose to the better teams. The talent is not there may some kids are really good but since The Outlaws consistently lose against better competition its obvious they are not an A team !
If you are unhappy playing on the Outlaws just leave no need to trash the team. There must be 50 Travel teams to go to! Have fun !

So none of this is really about himdbacks but rather LI parents wanting full control of telling other teams who they can have on their roster and play. Good that the truth finally came out.

New [lacrosse] cut off is not a true cut off. Will not be used and shouldn't be. Cut off is 9/1 and works for most of the country.

The truth is NY 12-13 year olds just played maryland 14-15 year olds and won. Kids got beat up.in the process. The so called holdback is still born before your cutoff. It is about holdbacks. Regardless of what you say

You are losing about 40% of the team! The better players are all leaving for other teams ! Parents on the sidelines talk way too much and are all talking about leaving
Talk doesn't mean anything. Lots of daddy's talk a big game. The good players will be back and hopefully they will fill some of the weaker spots

Do you really think the kids at Brine had to tryout? So being negative and just encourage your son to do his best. I doubt they are looking for a lot of players, they have two really good teams and that's it. Unlike Express which will field as many teams as possible.

It was hot
From a non Igloo parent. Tryouts we're great.. very well organized and a lot of talent. Even if you didn't want to join it was worth the $100.
Didn't MD 91 just beat a bunch of NY teams for the title @ Millon?
Maybe it was fake news.

Nope Igloo beat them 7-6. And it was like the 6th one goal game in the championship bracket. That's why there is little movement in these rosters.
These teams will add kids that come to them or know them from the 2nd team, very rarely through tryouts. Tryouts are for the 2nd teams, which is fine. Hopefully it's a good situation. That is a team that has a non daddy HC who is dedicated to developing the kids, dad's are good assts. can't have a dad HC at this level, they can't help but favor their kids (my opinion). If it's the right team your will son develop and if he works hard and earn a spot on the top team. Which will happen to a lot of kids over the next few years. This long process and a patience is a virtue.

Some people on here sound like such whiny brats. When are you all going to realize that everybody loves to hate the team that won????! Now all of a sudden that team has a bad reamputation??? Has everybody forgotten about the reputations of the other teams? Or are we just gonna focus on the team that won? all of a sudden everyone's whining that the team doesn't take new kids which is not true. Things are never going to change on here I guess.
Enjoy the rest of your summer
If kids at the trout were better than the kids at Brine, then they would be at Brine. Duh
that is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard....not every kid that is great went to brine ..please half brine team are b team kids
Talk doesn't mean anything. Lots of daddy's talk a big game. The good players will be back and hopefully they will fill some of the weaker spots

Don't flatter yourself. Most everybody always disliked igloo. The team won one tournament and that doesn't change the program's reputation and how all feel about the majority of the parents.

Dude, being a bit of a hypocrite don't you think? Unless you put your name to the post what makes you different from the other guy?
if there were "really good competition" at the tryouts why will none of those boys make the team...guess cuz teams are set and tryouts are all about the money
Does anyone know this Express coach who running the Express "hybrid" team for Channy? JK? He says he has been coaching with Channy 2022 but people say he is lying. Seems like he knows how to run a practice.
No idea what to think.......
The instruction is novice at best. He has not been coaching with Channy.
Stop the presses. The Tenacious Turtles are back and having youth teams through HS! This should be good.

Stop the presses. The Tenacious Turtles are back and having youth teams through HS! This should be good.
What age groups. I heard only 2023 with maybe one other.
Why should it be good. It's the same as any other club starting up. They will struggle in my opinion, unless they fully outline the plan. Coach, practice schedule and location for fall, tourneys for the fall, winter workouts, full spring and summer schedule. And cost. But no club yet has come out as an A team, so expect a B team, which isn't bad. I just always want to see dedication. Not a coach or club that can't answer an email.

Is it the same people behind it or did they sell the name
name is owned by lacrosse unlimited. The original team was phenomenal, they had talented kids went out and paid a great coach to coach them.. An enormous amount of money behind that team, including practices at their own facility and at one of the members house.

I don't know much about them but I do know they were real good. My understanding was that they were independent then merged with Express. So is this an Express offshoot like 9D1 has with their other teams or is this a true independent Org.

I'm not sure if I'm correct but I thought the Turtles were part of Express. I this an offshoot of Express?

Why did he leave the Bluefish?
What happened to the 2022 Warrior All American Games??? I heard half the team bailed and they invited anyone who they thought would pay the $$??? I know a lot of quality kids that tried out, mine included, that didn't make the team. What happened to being competitive? True Blue, Empire B and Ducks B kids invited without tryouts?? Sounds pretty fishy to me! Just another grab.

I heard they couldn't generate enough interest in MD and had to hold multiple tryout dates because no one showed up. No surprise the kids on the island have backed out. The website doesn't even list a Maryland team.

Ducks? Ruffling feathers? Good one! What positions? I can't imagine that anyone from the Ducks team would beat out the talent I saw at tryouts. I can't say for sure because I've never seen them play. They don't play in AA or even A tournaments. Those kids at the tryout were incredible.

The summer season is over and tryouts are already under way. The Brine was last week, who would really want to go to this? Sounded like a good idea in March, now it's like enough. Take the vacation time you are using and go somewhere and leave sports gear at home.
They would have called the kids that tried out and didn't make first!
Sounds like you are talking to yourself
Where are all the GC34 players scattering to after the faceoff kid lit it up at the World Series?
No one is baling, just testing the open market to see where they stand talent wise... One fogo doesn't make up a whole team.

The only reason that kids from town programs like GC and Three Village only need to test the water to get into the good showcases over the next 3-4 years. That's what the clubs can do. The new rules in my opinion are better for the clubs, because the timeline is compressed and clubs will play a larger role. And WM wouldn't be State Champs without the Express kids on the roster.

Aren't four of them (including the goalie) joining the other GC34 kids on Eff Ell Gee? Don't they already have a package deal with Wink?
Talk doesn't mean anything. Lots of daddy's talk a big game. The good players will be back and hopefully they will fill some of the weaker spots
Absolutely not true I know for a fact at least 8 kids are leaving. I'm sure that you will lose the big mouth daddy too !
Well that would be a mistake of top kids are leaving... not sure where they are going to end up...but unless it is a move to express 9d1 or igloo they are moving down the food chain
You are delusional.Outlaws are not even a top 5 Long Island team not to mention that your not even in the top 25 nationwide! Please stop your a B+/A- team at best !
Outlaws has gone downhill over the years and there's no turning back. Absentee arrogant owner, terrible clinics, coaches who don't care, etc.
The Kings clothes never look quiet as good the second time around. Good luck with the TT's redoux. The guy has an over inflated view of his transformational lax prowess...he'll attract the disgruntled and the delusional.
Someone can still not get over Not making Outlaws or maybe being a BACK up
Outlaws 2022 is Solid-
Definitely a top 5 team on the Island, and as seen in there last tournament definitely a top 20 team in the nation. Some people need to get a life and stop spreading fake news. STOP LIVING THROUGH YOUR KIDS and just enjoy that there are so many great players at this age. Lacrosse will continue to get more and more competitive with so many people starting to play.
Who is everyones TOP 5 Teams on the Island for this age
Mine is
1.Express
2.Igloo
3.91
--------- I think the top 3 can be interchangeable on any given day
4.Outlaws
5.Legacy?/fl$?

Igloo B Beat Outlaws and fl$, so:
5. Legacy
6. Igloo B
7. fl$
Agree. Igloo B could give legacy run for that 5 spot. Who can challenge those big 3 from the Island?
Outlaws beat igloo B also. So stop. By your logic igloo B should be ahead of express too...they beat express too.
The top teams are: 1)igloo 2)express 3)91 4)outlaws 5)legacy 6)igloo B 7) empire green(old Team LI) 8)fl$
At the 2022 nationalchampionship igloo won the whole thing and express finished in the top 5. 91 finished 7th. Outlaws finished in 13th. Legacy finished 18th. Not a bad showing for LI. Outlaws are definitely top 5. My son's team played them numerous times and they were good. And yes my son's team played all the above teams also. And I've been coaching/playing/involved with lacrosse for 33 years. I know lacrosse. Enjoy this grade of kids. A lot of talent. And for those of you parents that think winning these games at this age means anything, you are in for a rude awakening. It's all about getting into college. And those coaches DO NOT CARE who wins.
1. Igloo/express
2. 91
3. Legacy
4. Igloo B
5. Outlaws/fl$
We know who you are Outlaws dad. Outlaws did not beat igloo, outlaws is not in top 5
Legacy not even in conversation
1. Igloo/express
2. 91
3. Legacy
4. Igloo B
5. Outlaws/fl$
Why rank after the top 3? The rest are irrelevant when it comes to competing with other top teams.
looking at the a teams - aa teams are pretty set igloo express 9d1 and are very talented so my son wants to maybe tryout for the "second teams" of these organizations - thoughts

You know nothing about lacrosse...probably never heard of the sport until a few years ago... Outlaws lost to Express by one goal at laxfest... Empire almost beat Express... teams are catching up and that scares you because your son is no longer on the team.
Igloo B beat Express...legacy and fl$ are not in same class yet... we will see what 2018 before brings.
looking at the a teams - aa teams are pretty set igloo express 9d1 and are very talented so my son wants to maybe tryout for the "second teams" of these organizations - thoughts
Nothing wrong with it. It all comes down to the coach and is he going to give it the same attention that A teams get. Nothing worse than spending 1000s of dollars and they can't return an email. Express is starting their new hybrid team with the former Excel coach. If they can get some the talent to stick from tryouts the team might be good. It's brand new so most of the roster should be up for grabs at tryouts.
Most "second" teams from organizations do not travel to good tournaments with good competition and if they do.. you will get placed in the B bracket if the A team is present. All depends on the level of skill on the team and what you and your son are looking for. Igloo did it well but 9D1 and Express did not.

And before that one game Express beat Outlaws and every other team by double digits! Stop being dilusional , Outlaws cannot ever hang with Express or 9d1 or Igloo A. They are good but not AA just not!
Outlaws last 2 Games against express and Igloo A Teams were 5-4 Losses
That's defiantly is a B Team

Another issue with 2nd teams is a dad as the HC. That is a recipe for frustration. Dad's can be assts. or coordinators. But not HC, they can't help but favor their sons. That's my experience. Interested in this Express Hybrid team, though. But know nothing about the coach.

Again that is after Express played like 3 games and were spent. You are not being realistic, how many times have Outlaws beat Express? None! They beat 9d1 once back when they had 2 teams. I dont care if its only a one goal game its a LOSS. So stop with your it was close talk!

The loss by one goal argument is almost pathetic as the coming in 13th place in Maryland being a good showing.

Its 2022. It's new team for a combo of the bottom half of Channy's roster and kids selected at tryouts.
I have a son on this Outlaw team. True we have not beat Express and beat 91 only 1 time. Also true, if you were to ask each kid the teams record after the season they would have no idea. It is the parents that get hung up on wins and losses. You want your child to be part of a good organization where they will learn and get better. There is no better way to learn than to get hands on experience. So if my son is getting playing time and he is part of the winning and losing experience he will grow from that. Stop trying to rank organizations and teams it means nothing. It should be about the experience you child is getting from it and each child will have there own opinion. Maybe all of the parents should take the time and ask if there child is happy where they are instead of putting them where the parent wants them because the team is ranked highest on there list. You can rank us 20th in that Maryland Tournament and guess what.The kids don't care. Only the parents.
Hey genius....they played the same amount of games as express did that day. Know the facts first. It was both their 3rd games of the day. Semi finals. But I guess only express was spent. I think you are thinking of 91 who only played 1 game that day. And still lost to express. Get over it. Is express better...yes....but to say outlaws can never hang with them is just wrong. They hang with most teams. Proved it in MD. And Btw most of those kids are all friends. They don't care. YOU do. Which makes you pretty small.

Outlaws hung in 13th place in Maryland and has never beat any of the top 3 teams (with the exception of beating 91 once). Lost to Igloo B...makes Outlaws a B Team. No biggie

Again perpetuating the idea that there is AA and then everyone else is B . . . such small mindedness and one of the things that will hold the sport back in its maturity (which BTW is way different than growth!).

I find all of this hilarious. People think their kids are so good because there on this team or that team. Take best kid on Express and put him on Outlaws and now they are best. I will take it one step further take top 2 or 3 kids from top A team move them to top B teams and now they are in the mix.

This is all water under the bridge at this point. Both teams will have much improved rosters going into 2018. Let it go already....
Who cares. Does your kid enjoy the team, the coaching and like his teammates and do you like the other parents (don't under estimate that). If yes, who cares.
Did Igloo start making calls from tryouts.
Did Igloo start making calls from tryouts.
Yes, all done.

The concept is good, combine the best kids in the age group that are on the B team, kids at open tryouts and those that don't play.
Heard ONE Very large team, and each week kids compete to play A. Those that do not play Hybrid.
Do you really think for a second that will change week to week. Have to give them credit they figured out another way to rake in the $$$$$$$

That also sounds like on any given weekend when the A team is available, they will send A players down to win the T-Shirt. There are no roster rules in tournament lacrosse, but this just seems to make that potential issue worse.
Rumor Has It Igloo AA is losing its 2 top players any truth to the rumor
Who knows what will eventually happen. The Hybrid team had a couple of weeks of practices and played two games. It was primarily comprised of players from the existing 2022 Express B team with a couple of players from Channy's A team that didn't make the Denver roster and a few recruits from other teams.

And what it will become is the overflow team. Everyone that does political nonsense to be players 25-35 on the AA team will now be placed here as a first stop. Perfect strategy. That way there isn't 35 kids on the sidings for AA, but probably will be for hybrid. No thanks

You are going on two years now with this hate outlaws ridiculousness. They can absolutely handle A tournaments. To be the best you have to play the best. Simple really. The buck doesn't stop with 3 teams.
Yes. Going to Express. Figured it's time to impress college coaches. Igloo no real relationship with recruiters.

And you are going on three years of "outlaws dont back down from no one" what you see the Warriors movie too many times. This isn't a gang fight...Outlaws is a B team, should play in B tournaments and maybe go 50/50, Kids will be happy. Who knows maybe go 60/40. The kids would love that, parents cant handle it...would rather say we lose every time in A then say we are solid B.
Which is accuate
Igloo done or igloo still making calls ?
Which is accuate

Maybe some last minute B team calls still to be made.
We are solid B, solid C, solid A, solid AA, solid D. Take your pick the letter doesn't mean anything to anyone except the PARENT whose kid can't make the team he wants him to play for. That letter don't mean sh*t to the kids, just to the way too involved parents. It shouldn't concern you what tournaments any of the organizations play in or what bracket they join, move on, get over it. If you weren't such a loud mouth maybe you would still be part of the team. Hope your "little guy" ends up somewhere where he is happy. It is about the kids not you.

Not true
Get a life people
Summer is here
Funny, I just felt a cold Artic Blast. Winter is coming....
And you wonder why Igloo parents get such a bad rap. Let your kid lead his own life; and get one for yourself.
Does anyone know anything about this Duke's Nationals team having tryouts at Hofstra?

2022 champs !! all good here and no one is leaving just coming
And still as arrogant as ever. No thanks
Hey genius....they played the same amount of games as express did that day. Know the facts first. It was both their 3rd games of the day. Semi finals. But I guess only express was spent. I think you are thinking of 91 who only played 1 game that day. And still lost to express. Get over it. Is express better...yes....but to say outlaws can never hang with them is just wrong. They hang with most teams. Proved it in MD. And Btw most of those kids are all friends. They don't care. YOU do. Which makes you pretty small.
Outlaws hung in 13th place in Maryland and has never beat any of the top 3 teams (with the exception of beating 91 once). Lost to Igloo B...makes Outlaws a B Team. No biggie
You are going on two years now with this hate outlaws ridiculousness. They can absolutely handle A tournaments. To be the best you have to play the best. Simple really. The buck doesn't stop with 3 teams.
And you are going on three years of "outlaws dont back down from no one" what you see the Warriors movie too many times. This isn't a gang fight...Outlaws is a B team, should play in B tournaments and maybe go 50/50, Kids will be happy. Who knows maybe go 60/40. The kids would love that, parents cant handle it...would rather say we lose every time in A then say we are solid B.
You are wrong again for the twentieth time.
How about something different. And somewhat positive. Can every share some positive experiences for Express, Rebels, 9! and Empire at this age, both 1st and 2nd team. I know can't all be bad or nobody would go try out lol. My son wants to tryout for 2 clubs of the 4 listed.
Come to the Outlaws tryouts , see for yourself
Why are you engaging with the Outlaws Troll? He is a sad man with a sad life. Do not engage

This is the Director Gonzo - Bozo trying to spark interest in this assbag team. He posted this in every forum. Loser.

Looks that way. I mean at least try to fake it by changing up the Post. Weak and very Lazy!
Express and 9!. Empire is a joke. Their AA team couldn't even compete against A teams.
Everyone's experience is different. I would only say you don't want to be on anyone's second team. Would rather play for a lesser club and be on their first team

What are you talking about we only lost to Express by one goal at laxfest

My son plays for the first Empire team. He's had a great experience with the team and the boys showed a lot of improvement this past year. The coaches are engaged and encouraging. I'd recommend this team to anyone.
I'm sorry if that other poster considers that to be a "joke".

The ONLY second team you would want to be on would be Igloo Aspen Extreme, they only enter in the A tournament bracket.
At the Warrior Games with the LI team now and getting ready for the playoffs. Here's my honest take. It's definitely a lot of fun. Some different kids playing together and getting to know each other is very cool. The boys are loving the gear! The team is very good, but almost too good. South is pretty good. Tristate looks like a mix of some decent West Chester/Ct kids and some weak kids from LI that couldn't make the LI team. Not sure how that happened, but I'm guessing they needed a certain number for ever roster. I'm not sure why New England didn't have a better showing considering it's in their backyard, but I'm thinking it may have been a situation like the other team and just grabbed whoever. All in all, you would expect an LI elite team to sweep, but hopefully they can get some more interest from other areas next year. I'll be back again next year though, provided he makes the team.

So that is the challenge and why you see the bigger rosters on the AA, because people feel that way and won't put their kid on a B team. People honestly feel that way, I have seen it. However, there are good 2nd team examples where 2nd team's are a lot better than a clubs 1st team. I would rather have my son on a big clubs 2nd team. Why? They can attract better talent in my opinion. But the risk is 2nd team neglect factor. However, the coach is the x factor.

In this 2022 age group, the only second team you want to be on is Igloo Aspen Extreme, they do the second team the right way, only enter in all A brackets for tournaments!

There is enough kids that Express, 9!, and others can do it. They just have to make the investment in it.

Just asked for positive feedback and people can't help themselves.
Empire has only one A team in 2022, they lost to express by 3. And the team defected from team LI

Which teams are Black and White? The White team my son played and they seemed to be pretty good. Better than A teams like the Bluefish and Hitman.
Bluefish and Hitmen are B teams
Hitmen actually are fielding an A and B had some players from other A teams come over. not sure how good they will be guess we will find out in fall.

True Blue anyone? How were the numbers at this tryouts anyone know?
How about Express owner approaching coaches he doesn't know from different states and asking if they want to change their local teams over to express?? He asked our coaches then started to sales pitch the parents

not anymore losing some key players will not be able to compete in "a" anymore

At this age level, I believe it's:
Green (first team)
Black (second team)
White (third team)

Not a Channy Apostle but who cares? He's trying to increase his geographic coverage like 9D1 does. What team does your son play for?

Word is,They will still go into the A brackets, replace the key players leaving by new "GC34 A players", they will fine!
GC34 players will be there for 1 yr then head back to GC34 to play for the high school team...They will be the best players on that Igloo B team.
Hitmen actually are fielding an A and B had some players from other A teams come over. not sure how good they will be guess we will find out in fall.
That's funny !!! They couldn't field an A team if they tried. The have some solid players but overall just a B team !!!
Come to the Outlaws tryouts , see for yourself
Save your money!Both teams are already picked they will take maybe about 2-3 more players on both teams. I know that PB is not really looking for many players which is why they will always be mediocre !

Did GC34 crumble like Manhasset32?
In the process... dysfunctional at this age group with coach dad's trying to protect their kids that don't have it...

Right - because nobody in high school ever plays travel lacrosse. Some of the GC kids won't go to GCHS for HS. Have fun Hitmen daddy.

You can't play both travel ball and high school in GC?

First of all my son played for the Dukes and the coaching is excellent! He also plays for his Long Island travel team. They basically try to get the best players and its nothing different than every other team does !
Silly question here, but what A tournaments did the second igloo team play last year besides blatant that all the top teams were at? NLF? No. L.a.x.f--st? No. Tri star? No. WSYL? No. 2022 national championship? No. Sensing a trend here, you? They do not play in A tournaments. Their A team does. And all you gc34 players fell for it. Suckers!!!!

False... there are open spots at M, D, and A

Yes, you can. Their 2021's have been doing it successfully for years... move on troll.

yea one of each as previously stated ! He never changes things too much and that fine unless your looking to play on an AA team that actually want to win !

Just like Three Village. Stupid in my opinion, but I guess they have HS success. But ask WM which players were instrumental in ther state title? That's right Express kids led the way. There is enough tourneys to allow kids to do both.

Think you missed that question mark at the end of the sentence - that signifies a question, not a statement...!
Based on BOTC, there is NOT one travel club that everyone is happy here. Seems to me there are issues on every travel club, so good luck on tryouts in August, hope you all will find a happy medium!
The grass isn't always greener, just different. All clubs have baggage. You just have to find the one with the kind of baggage you can live with. Hopefully most importantly your son is learning and having fun. The rest is eye wash

You want active coaches that respond to emails, give detailed plans, and that can coach. Daddy coach can be a red flag, depends on the coach.. You're paying a lot and owe it to yourself and son to fimd the best spot. And if you ask questions during the tryout the process and don't get an answer, that's means to me you're not valued as a client.

That's assuming all kids from last year stay, and parents won't reveal intentions. That's the tricky part. Because players on A teams that play B brackets is the better kids look to move on, which kinda stinks because you cant develop a team. The grass isn't greener.
