yep. They did confirm my son had a pulse

Is that what they said at tryouts? Yikes. In my opinion if done the right way it could be done. Make it more of a developmental team, different schedules, cheaper price. But that won't happen. Just like 2023 last year, when you just take everyone that is the product you put on the field. I don't like to judge but baffled that parents would pay that much considering what they are getting.
I was wondering if channy would do the same thing this year, I guess it's just more of the same.

I believe development is that plan for the 3rd team but assume channy will want his money. All teams getting 10 tourney and winter training as part of the tuition per his little parents chat last night. Last year it was 7 tourneys and pay as you go in the winter.

10 Tourneys? Holy macrel batman.

I'd rather more practices / scrimmages / clinics than 10 tourneys anyday!

2 or 3 fall, 2 or 3 spring and 5 summer is not really overwhelming. At some point they need to play.

Then sign up for clinics but you know the kids love the tourneys.

It's actually perfect. End by mid July

well if they do 3 teams which is crazy, they should give them names or colors like every other team

Can't see them getting a 3rd team off the ground. There wasn't even enough goalies to have 3 teams

There were 6 goalies at tryouts.

ahhh, I thought there was 5. Good luck getting 2 of them to play on a C team

The C team will be equalivant to other organizations B teams & as you get older the talent gets that much better. Their A team is going to be faniminal if they pick the right players.

Lots of solid kids to choose from. Just worry how many were there to get an early workout before committing to another club, or go back to their existing club.

can't see many wanting to play for a C team

Sure ok mike. Just like the 2023 c team.

If my son doesn't make it this year, can he still get in to heaven? Oops, I mean Chaminade ?

Yes, there are additional admissions requirements to get in besides where you played lacrosse in elementary school. Some may not believe that....I'll let you in on a secret. There are kids at Chaminade who never even played lax. Shocker!!

Oh yeah....and there are kids that have played for a certain coach who were unable to get into Chaminade

How were numbers at WP and taz?

took my son to both. numbers were About the same. No where near 85 trying out for Taz.. In total maybe (2025/2024) Attempts to suggest that boys are defecting from WP to Taz with your "tomatoe helmet" innuendo is lame. Not saying it wasn't the club but I think we all know what you were insinuating. Unnecessary

Glad someone said it! Someone should clue in the Taddies that this is 10 year old lacrosse!!!!

Was at both. There were no WP helmets at Taz tryouts but there were Taz helmets at WP tryouts. Couple of Empire and 1 or 2 Igloo helmets at both. Plus the WP helmets are pretty awesome, not sure what the other guy is making fun of.

I was at both and you are correct about Taz no WP helmets but one wore his town helmet and at the WP one I did not see any Taz helmets. Either a WP parent or A**.

it is a sad state of affairs when adults result to ratting out 10 year olds. Mind your business, watch your own kid and get a life. What a bunch of freaks.

that is correct

O'Shea with O'Reilly are great coaches. Depends where else you are thinking of going. Express you will get fall, winter, spring/summer practices & fall tournaments. Depends what you are looking for. O'Shea & O'Reilly will develop your son. They did mine.

You obviously don't know him. He is head and shoulders above what is offered out there. Not a mom and not from Nassau.

I know too much about him unfortunately.

At Taz at least 5 -8 players for the 2024 team were wolfpackers. They wore town team helmets (ESM, bayport blueprint etc). No orange helmets on the field, maybe some gloves. Don't know about 2025 wasn't watching and didn't go to Wolfpack tryouts.

It's amazing what the Taz Daddies will make up. Just because a kid has a BBP or ESM helmet doesn't make them a member of the WP. I hope you also realize that WP tryouts were the same date as Taz. Time to finish mopping the floors for you.

Went to a few tryouts this year. Just to see what was really out there. Lots of talent that's lost. With these big programs not doing the right thing. It's open the door for others programs to pop up and make a difference When you see it with your Owen eyes. And not from a persons mouth You will understand So like I said lots of good lacrosse players out there just don't know where to go after the bigger team say no.

WP tryouts are today and there were some WP testing the waters which means nothing until the say yes.

Taddies and their lying ways. Do these guys do anything else with their lives? They lose to every team that the WP beat at some point, but only care about beating the 91 WP last season. And then make up stories about TAZ tryouts and the WP kids that were there. 1 kid left the WP for Taz..that's it! Get over it. Sad thing is the guy writing this is probably a dad of a kid who rides the pine like the other 13 they don't use on the sidelines.

Where did those boys go?

A better place where they could learn. The sport. Not get screamed at. Lol

Not a good sign when top players leaving. AA better focus on these younger years or by the time black ice gets recruited he will have nothing coming up.

A bad coach/experience can take down a grade. just ask 91 with their 2024 b team. oh right the don't have one

Igloo is a strong program, and they will fix whatever it takes. Except for black ice, they have been around for ONLY 2 SEASONS. IF people did leave, I am sure they have their reasons, and that is fine. Will they be the best, nope. Will they be competitive, definitely. Will the kids have a blast and get better....without a doubt.

why would anyone move too igloo? nicer uniforms? thats all i can think of. they have 30 kids on team, coach screams all day long, and its the most expensive. ah yea no thanks

might want to check your facts. way off, on everything you just claimed.

I know at least one went to Express. Express team will be very good. Alot of new talent mixed with quality kids from last year.

Great guy who makes sure he is heard. He actually coaches and teaches the kids. If you are looking for a good experience if your boy isn't the best of the best but wants to work hard and get better Tony B is the right guy.

very well said and agree. And if you notice, his yelling is 95% positive. Enthusiasm the better word.

Yeah about the 30 kids, but the rest seems spot on.

no, but something tells me that its more then the 200$ difference. Most of these large travel teams are going to be close. Igloo total cost includes everything. Entry fees, everything. No surprises. At the end of the season, its probably close to a 3 or 4 way tie for most expensive. Nice discount for returners on Igloo this year.

Not a cheap sport anymore, anywhere.

he's conflicted and spread too thin. Also that type of "enthusiasm" doesn't motivate young boys. Just makes them play tentative. He's at his best coaching clinics for the little ones.

He's committed - over 85 practices and he's at every single one - if the coaches are committed make sure your kid is as well - very rare to find a coach who is this dedicated - why are you paying all that money then... he's going to push as hard as he can... stick with PAL if you just want your kid to have fun and run around for exercise....

I've been around this lacrosse cesspool for awhile. TB is one of the finest persons I've come across. He can have my kid on his team anyday.

My son doesn't play for him but I've seen him coach and talked with him. He seems like a great guy & coach. Stop the bashing!
If he was a jerk I could understand but people are just jealous or not happy unless they are bashing someone.

Great guy, solid coach but if they really did have 85 practices, which they didn't the team should have been much better. They had 80+ kids at tryouts to chose from and they ended up being just a decent team. We'll see how it goes this year.

Weakest team in the organization.

You guys are insane. The kids had a absolute blast. Were we the best team out there, no. Not close. Did the kids get better? Yes, much. Tony scheduled an additional 10-20 practices. Was at every one of them. Enthusiastic all the way. Judging a group of 10 year olds on win - loss records is insane.

For some reason people love bashing Igloo. Their pricing model was deemed expensive two years ago. We never paid another dime in additional fees. Now, you look at the rest of the teams, and Igloo is not the most expensive anymore. Especially for returners. Our coaches actually come to practice. They actually care for each and every kid, not just the top group.

Late tryouts this year will hurt Igloo, but cant fault anyone on that. AA actually trying to give the kids August off.

How did their tryout camp go? Good turnout? I know a few of their better players moved on. Also, if AA wanted to give the kids Aug off he shouldn't of had tryouts in Aug.

well said and true

I agree. My son is back up goalie and has been playing for tb for 2 years. He is a great coach, genuinely cares for each of his players. He is a great role model for any child that plays on his team.

If he is so great why is he loosing some of his top players???
He is a good guy, but when half your team doesn't want to come back, there is more to the story. Good luck starting from scratch.

Sounds like another bitter Dad or Mom on this board whose kid did not make the cut...this year or last. Does it make you feel better?

The bar lowers every year to make that team. With a 25 player roster they basically will take anyone who shows up this year.

It's a shame because they were a decent team last year but now they need to start over again.

nothing bad ican be said about the outlaws, they really do have so much to offer

So all these teams that these parents Are sending these kids to teams that are 4,000! So in 4 years that's 16,000$. When you see it on paper it puts it in Perspective, what really these parents thinking? Good luck on waiting for your call from the multiple teams that you are trying out for which you paid &75 for, etc

30 kids total for every age group combined? Or 30 per grade?

Sounds like you will hear that alot more this year based on tryouts....

hopefully 24 will play it straight up this year.

My son played on 24 last year. And all the boys where 4th graders so I don't know where you get this info from but then again you have no clue. So you just talk.

you filled your roster poaching from other teams and then gloating about your program. If that is how you roll, then so be it!

not true

Aren't kids allowed to play where they want??

Are you didn't ask to play. Poor baby. It's so funny reading boc

WE STARTED A TEAM WITH FEW KIDS LATE IN SEASON THAT WANTED TO BE ON THE TEAM. DONT FORGET THEY ARE 10. NEED MOM AND DAD TO SAY YES. AND YES THEY PLAYED ON OTHER TEAMS TOO. WHEN THEY PLAYED WITH US THEY HAD FUN AND WHERE VERY competitive THATS WHY THERE ARE 6-7 TEAMS THIS YEAR. SO WHATS THE PROBLEM
THIS WAS LIKE 4 months ago. This all took place you still trying to make 24 look bad. Not working. See you on the field with all 6 teams. As of now.

There were a few tournaments this year that there were in fact 5th graders playing down, that is the truth. Stop lying you're setting a great example for your kids.

Amazed JS and crew can't field another 2024 team.

why - plenty of teams to play on without playing on a B team

Agreed. It's very surprising from an organizational perspective. Especially given the high level of play coming from the 2022 and 2023 second teams.

Right...those are A level teams

Your from Levittown. Running your mouth is all you know

Big group at Igloo tryouts. It's the way a tryout should be run.

You're.

looking for travel program for my 2 boys, somewhere mid suffolk county area, rising 5th and 7th graders. can anyone advise on empire or tli programs?

How many kids at Igloo tryouts? How many teams are they having?

I love this guy who has said this now 3x. Except for ONE KID - the rest of the team made just about every practice. Not sure how you can question 10 year olds and dedication. Sour grapes maybe?

As long as TB is coaching everything will be fine and the calls have been made.

Did express field a 3rd team? Did 24 get a second team? How many team will there be this year at this age? The saddest part is 9 1 can not field a 2nd team at 2024.

yes, yes and so crazy they can't bring the titans or avengers back

So let me get this straight. We [lacrosse] and moan when big clubs add a b team as a money grab. Then we [lacrosse] and moan when the orange team hasn't added a b team. Cmon people

It's not bitching more than weird that the giant Orange can't field a 2nd team but 24 can.

Sometimes the 2nd & 3rd teams from an organization get ignored. Express can field a 3rd team because they know the coaches assigned are good developmental coaches. I'm not sure about 24, but people must feel that if they signed up for the 2nd team. The big Orange's 2nd coach moved to Express probably for that reason. Their 2nd teams use to get ignored unless you had that coach. All they care about is their top team, which is why they don't have a 2nd team.

Make your son an A player and you wouldn't have to worry about a B team. Seems pretty simple to me

Sometimes you need that developmental coach to become an A player. And not every kid will be an A player no matter how much their daddy tries!

Heard the coaches were TB and a Levittown PAL coach

Make your son an A player, sounds simple to you. What a stupid statement.

What a stupid statement! Maybe their son has other interests and their father hasn't put all their eggs in the son becoming a "lacrosse star" like your son. Get a life.

Moved to express b/c his kid was not getting enough run on Crush. Express is t treating him any differently. He is a b team coach, that's all.

He's good at developing kids. Perfect B team coach.

"Make your son an A player". Seriously? Share the formula with us as it must be some magic elixir that you are more aware of than the rest of the parents out here/there. Maybe you have one for other sports as well? My son loves soccer, basketball, even that non contact sport golf. Wish I knew how to make him just like Jordan Speith. Wonder where I can buy that????

Spoken like a parent who has held his kid back to be on a A team!
What's the matter with these people? Holding back there kids! To play lacrosse?? These Parents should be ashamed of themselves. Why do all other sports have a fair aged based system? This is a great sport, and its getting a bad rep. You can't hold back these older kids. besides being unfair, The injuries are adding up. They need to enforce these age requirements building a safer sport where kids can develop and have fun. Believe me as a parent it will ease the tension on the sidelines knowing that the other teams are plying fair at the same age. PLAYING FAIR!

with tryouts over. Which teams got stronger

Comical that people feel the need to rank. Rosters have changed. Who cares. Kids get better, and continue to love the sport....those should be the goals.

All four are great teams, but not sure how anyone can say that Madlax is not #1, unless you are trying to rank them based on a handful of Summer tourneys where Madlax was missing key players that didn't travel or took the summer off. When Madlax was at full strength, it swept its Spring league (which included Bethesda), and beat both Taz and WP. Taz has NEVER beaten Madlax, and some of Madlax's wins over Taz have been rather lopsided. Taz came close to beating a depleted Madlax squad at LaxFest, but still couldn't get it done.

WP would disagree. Farmingdale college event. But then Taz would disagree 4-0 and so it goes as BLC has noted wins. Great 4 teams

No - not new here. But, continually disgusted by it, and compelled to point it out! A browse through the BOTC forums usually makes me feel like I need to take a shower afterwards!

WP went down to MD and lost to Madlax by 2 when they had a full squad. And then beat them by a margin at Laxfest (the first game on that Sat by a WIDE margin. Taz will give them a run for their money also. Putting them at #1 is something a MD dad would say. The team depends on 1 big middy and 1 attackman to do all the work. Any team on this list can beat each other at any given time. Stop with your "take the spring off or didn't travel" BS. They are very beatable.

you forgot Levittown.

Same poster that responded to you earlier here.

I hear you. Honestly I find it a bit troubling that grown adults know so much about teams of 10 year olds that their kids are not on. How do they know about which 10 year old <club x> added this year? How do they know that 2024 <club y> is "almost, but not quite as good" as 2024 <club z>. It's borderline disturbing how some of these folks are such 10 year old lacrosse fanboys that they "know" all of this and can rank teams of 10 year old boys, and puff their chests and say "yeah my son's 10 year old team is way better than that garbage 10 year scrub team"

Madlax without the tall middie is just another "A" travel team.
Top 5 on a good day

You are saying this and the team has never even had a practice and the coach has yet to even reach out to the team. Did they upgrade, sure but WP and Taz are already practicing and they both had limited turnover. Enjoy a lot of 3rd and 4th place finishes Express Mommy

Exciting. So I guess they replaced their entire attack, defense and goalie? Wow!

Sorry not a Mom. But I see the boys that have decided to play for Express..Pay attention...Don't be angry. Its just going to happen. Remember this thread. I will tell you I told you so.

A few things you will need to get used too with that coach:

-He'll miss half the practices
-Practices will be once a week max (Taz & Pack will be 3x per)
-No winter training (You will be paying the B team coach for winter training)
-Coach won't know your kids name outside of the top 6-7 kids
-He will miss 2-3 tourneys per year.
-His focus is on is HS team and his 2019 team

Good luck and enjoy, coach's lack of commitment will hurt what could be a talented team.

Sounds like a parent who's kid was cut. Half the team is new. Excited to see how this team turns out. Heard they are starting to practice. The coaches 2019 team is now committed so he will have more time for this team. You may be surprised.

You might be surprised that all of his 2019's are not committed and still has to work with his HS kids.

Everyone has started to practice. The top two teams have been going since tryouts in mid August.

Scary you losers are so willing to burn out your 9/10 year olds.
Careful what you wish for you may get it.......

Stop it, everyone has not started to practice yet. Sure Taz and WP never stop but most top clubs start next week and you know plenty of clubs won't start until 2017.

This coach is also responsible/influential for probably for more college commitments in the past 20 years than anyone.

Your going to say its a bad thing that his 1st priority is getting his 2019 team all committed first? Once that is done it seems reasonable that the 2024 team will be treated the same way. If the crazy's really are as crazy as I think then they should be falling over each other to get a spot on his team.

Kids are in 5th grade chill out...

How did their 1st practice go? Did coach actually show up?

Then do not put your name as the coach if you are not going to coach. Seem simple.

Your going to say its a bad thing that his 1st priority is getting his 2019 team all committed first? Once that is done it seems reasonable that the 2024 team will be treated the same way. If the crazy's really are as crazy as I think then they should be falling over each other to get a spot on his team.

Kids are in 5th grade chill out...

I know three players with A team invites who declined. It wasn't a high bar to make that team

Three? Try ONE declined

well....the ONE that declined wont have to deal with a coach that never shows. Enjoy....i'd rather the "b" team !

A few things you will need to get used too with that coach:

-He'll miss half the practices
-Practices will be once a week max (Taz & Pack will be 3x per)
-No winter training (You will be paying the B team coach for winter training)
-Coach won't know your kids name outside of the top 6-7 kids
-He will miss 2-3 tourneys per year.
-His focus is on is HS team and his 2019 team

Good luck and enjoy, coach's lack of commitment will hurt what could be a talented team.

hen do not put your name as the coach if you are not going to coach. Seem simple.

The team that everyone is talking about, that has a X in its name. That has 3 teams for 2024/ Is the most expensive one out there. By far.
Why anyone would pay that for a coach THAT NEVER SHOWS....
I have a bridge to see if anyone looking!

Parents/Kids follow great coaching and that's what these kids are getting. It's all about development at this age.

True. How come the development of WP and Taz are so far ahead of the age group. Watching those teams is a different game completely. Are the coaches that good at those 2 teams?

For one the kids and the coaches are committed to the same goal developing to be the best team they can be.

Both teams for the more part have been playing together for 3+ years and have coaches that go above and beyond with year round practice. Sure they have great coaches but It's just a much bigger commitment with those teams.

Both the WP and Taz have a majority of the better boys at this age. As of right now they are far ahead of everyone else in this age group. All 4 coaches give it their all and the parents are behind their sons 100%. I agree with the above poster watching those 2 teams play against other teams and each other is a whole other level.

And being on the best team doesn't always mean it will be the best situation for your son.

It also helps when you take the starters to one end of the field to practice and the rest of the players to the other end with a dad assistant for duck duck goose

Lol. I gladly invite you to come watch there practices. You are sadly mistaking. But what ever makes you feel better bud.

Don't post if you don't have your facts straight!
One - it's not the most expensive one out there, even with the new price this year that includes almost everything and you get what you pay for! Other clubs that are less you get very few practices & 1/2 the amount of tournaments!
Two - the coach that coaches the 2nd & 3rd team is always there! Unless something major in life comes up. He threw in so many extra practices last year!! For FREE! It was the kids who didn't show! NOT the coach! So don't go posting when you have no ideas what you are talking about! Try getting Igloo's numbers and comparing...

Look at every age group. Historically, Big Orange and one other team are heads and tails above the rest. Many lax dads put there athletic kids in really early. 2nd grade. These kids can throw and catch and there's generally a kid that can take faceoffs; that's what makes them the best in 2nd and 3rd grade. All of the early talent lands on 2 teams. However, that generally ends in 5th grade. For all past age groups, this is the year that the gap closed and more competitive teams came to play. I'm not saying the Taz and WP won't still be top 2, but teams will be closer. Look no further than the 2023's. Express and Bandits were the top 2 clubs for 3 years. No one else was even close. But last year Igloo, Shore 2 Shore, Warriors all came knocking. Bandits lost to Igloo, Express lost a few games. My prediction is that more talented players are going to start playing travel this year and some of the non-starters from WP and Taz will move to other teams. It will make for a great year of lax.

Sorry bud, I know igloos numbers. It is posted on their site. Express is not, and for a reason. BUT, I know what they are charging. Looks less then Igloo...but.....scratch the surface. Igloo MUCH cheaper for returners. And for non returners it is close to the same, but Express not listing their winter practice. So its more.

Does that make one better then the other, nope. Just giving the facts.

Hear some LI and Md teams may meet in Baltimore on nov 20 for a tournament million is putting on.

Igloo $3100 5 Tourneys w/winter training included
Express $2800 8 Tourneys - $300 for Winter Training

Boy the express parents are sensitive. Let's hope this will be a great year of lacrosse for 2024.

Should we just have a seperate thread for the daily Wolfpack vs. Taz crazies discussion and leave this thread for everyone else?

That would be great

I agree with this comment 100%. 2-yrs ago it was all WP and last year Taz matched up with them. This year you will see Express step up to play with both of them.Its called parity. Its part of development. The taz and WP parents don't need to get so defensive. It will be more fun and more competition.

Warning ---- Taz Vs Wolfpack discussions can cause irritable Bowel, dizziness, blindness, jealously, rage, delusions, loss in confidence of your son's ability, and an overall disgust for any 10 year old that can play Lax at a high level.
If any of these symptoms occur please consult your PAL Coach immediately and arrange a fall clinic to show you that your son is at least still better than the town kids......

Express way to far behind to compete this year vs the big boys

Are you the same person that said Taz could not play with WP???again, It will happen. Enjoy the games, they are going to be close and exciting.

No they're not. Couple of big boys on the teams that can play ball

because they are 11 years old...HOLDBACKS

Express is not behind! behind in what???? they are just starting 5th grade. many of the boys are top players on other teams that decided to play for Express. They will compete with Taz and WP for top spot.

Sounds like the person shooting their mouth off comes from a town team and all the daddy talks about is how his son made the Express A team.

The little guys have the adv in many ways because quicker at this age. This will change and they will get pushed around as they cannot dodge and create effectively. There is some exceptions but few. The athletic kids who have decent size and are assertive will win out. They may not be coordinated yet. So parents of shortys who are skilled because they play a lot enjoy it while it lasts. If both parents are relatively short then enjoy now. Say what you want but this is deadly accurate.

Its already happening

My son is the BEST goalie in 2024. Plays for his town team because I don't believe in travel lacrosse at this age. He will try out in 6th grade for a ,7th grade team because PAL is over. abt him but I'm not gonna tell. He just wants to play with his friends

We all have kids in pal. There is no secret goalie. He very well might be good but the best in the age group are from north shore out east, south shore middle island and south shore nassau west

Skill will also trump size. Now if you have both that's another story.

Size is a very big factor in this sport in this day and age. The days of a 5"9 kid being able to hang at the collegiate level is diminishing quickly. Yes if you are a 5"10 Phenom you can make it but most are not. Look at the top 25 schools to play at rosters, the attackman are 6ft + 200+ lbs. the middys are even bigger. Defenseman are forced to be big to handle these size players. Even outside of lacrosse the athletic world is getting bigger and bigger. Compare athletes sizes now to 20 years ago. Big change. If you don't think this is happening go to Dicks and look at the Under Armours mannequins and how big they portray athletes. And that's not a stupid example because the mannequins are wearing the size clothes that are on the shelf next to them. Of course skills matter and always will but size will matter just as much. Both of them and you have a serious threat on the field. My sons are on the smaller size so I see it first hand how they get pushed around even though their skill level is pretty high.

8 players out of 100s playing. Yeah those numbers make sense.

How can your son be classified as "the Best" in any category,if he doesn't play against the most talent players / teams??

If your son is the best we would all know who he is. Lax world is a very small place on LI. Stop your BS, either step up your kid to face the real talented boys or go back you your wife and tell her how great your son is. Dead beat

Have seen it play out time and time again...its not just size although size does play into it...once you start getting into the middle school years when it picks up...the better players have the combination and balance of a variety of factors including skill, athleticism (speed/size/agiligy), IQ and aggressiveness/touchness (intangibles)...when they get to middle and high school...all the kides, at least on the better teams, are all insanely good....they tend to have the unique mix above all to varying degrees...I have learned and watched that all things being equal the determining factor between a top 5% player and the top 1-3%s players (the ones going to the traditional powerhouses, etc.) are the intangibles (being aggressive to goal, toughness, competitiveness to win, etc.)...after that everything else kicks in....now there are some exceptions where a shorter/smaller person comes in but again this is only a few (maybe a team has 1 oddly smaller attackman or a middie)...this can change year to year (intangible and physical attributes)once kids hit puberty...I laugh when these 5ft 9 dads think there 4th grade kid who is a middle is the best in the world...he is gonna be quite surprised when they put the bigger kid who plays LSM on him...oh no! what is poor pappa gonna do know????? boo hoo

go to some 7/8/9 grade games and let us know the size of those players...

Yet, another stellar post.

The "Best" hidden 2024 Goalie, the phenom D1 [lacrosse] midfielders, nauseating ranking between touting WP vs. Taz, of all the years I have my boys playing on the 2024 board takes the cake. There is no other year message board that is this amusing. I have to guess that most 2024s are only children or the only boy. Or parents (can't just blame Dads anymore) are unrealistic or trying to live through there kids.

Even if you really felt your 5th grade child was the "best" goalie on Long Island what balls does it take to post that? Did it look good when you clicked "view post"?

Even if you really felt your 5th grade child was the "best" goalie on Long Island what balls does it take to post that? Did it look good when you clicked "view post"?

Don't feed the troll, if he had a set of B@#LLS, he would of said what PAL team. /discussion

This is a great post and so true!

I saw Syracuse announced their freshman recruiting class. 16 players! You think travel playing time is bad with 22 kids. Good luck with 3x that amount. Everyone on this board gets nuts about their kid playing in college. Focus on using the lax to get him into the best academic school possible. College lax goes by fast, especially with a roster of 60+

What fall tournaments are teams doing?

All clubs will wash each others back so all tourneys will be filled and everyone will make money, except the parents.

What tournaments are in MD?

A lot of invitationals are happening this season. 2 best teams on LI get invited down to MD to play their 2 or 3 best teams. Then the MD teams come to LI for the same set up. It keeps the top teams sharp.

Could not agree more on the trash talking. However the point that was trying to get across, is that as the boys get older other teams will start to get better.There wont be only 1 or two teams that dominate.Other teams will become more competitive.It happens in every age group.

Until then... Like sand thru the hour glass. ...

Travel LAX is competitive and there are winners and losers. A lot of posts about everyone catching up and evening out. Good luck with your wait and you will see approach.
Get measured and develop.

huh? Are you quoting a soap opera? Nobody said anything about waiting .Its happening. At every grad.year around 5th grade, more teams become more competitive.there will be more then two.

Is Igloo going to show up in the fall this year? Lots of turnover with those guys.

Why do you care so much, was your son one of the kids that were cut or didn't make the team?
Or give the organization a call their number is listed on their site

Igloo? Most of the good kids LEFT Igloo for other A teams. They filled those spots with kids from B teams. Decent kids but not a A team. They will play in B brackets or easy tournaments, watch. They may win, but it will be B team competition, not A.

There are only two A teams in this grade and neither took an igloo kid. Who does your kid play for? Probably a B team like mine.

Please keep this nonsense going. It's entertainment while I table my morning deuce. Get a life!!!

Realistically, the entire grade level is weak. To only have enough quality players to make 2 highly competitive teams is a shame. Look at 2023 and 2022. There are WAY more top level teams. Even for Big Orange to only have one team speaks volumes of how down a year it is.

In most cases, yes, but not on this one. My son is on one of them. The age group is mediocre. Can you explain to me how it isn't??

But you are acting like that 2nd tier of teams is mediocre, when they are actually solid. Express 2x, Outlaws, Igloo, are all solid teams and there are some really solid town teams at this age too. Commack, BBP, ESM, RVC, etc. Sure Taz and WP are the cream of the crop but there are plenty of of good teams at this age. There has been some really competitive games the last few years between teams not named WP and Taz. Call them B teams if you like but it's good solid lacrosse for a bunch of 10 year olds.

WP > Taz

Non WP or Taz stir the pot

24 > WP & Taz

Agree. WP has the BBP and Commack kids playing on the team. Taz is also made up of some solid PAL kids also. Impressive 10 yr old lax all around

Not true at all, unless you are a mommy from Manhasset and thought your little crew were the top kids. All of their key starters are back and they upgraded every position through tryouts.

One of the top kids went to Taz and was not replaced but they will see where they stand on the 10th.

Taz added 1 top express and 3 WP?

not one of the top kids, and he was replaced. This Express team will take home some tee shirts this year.

That is not true. At all. The team is MUCH MUCH better. the boys that were added....Well you will see. no need to make predictions..lets enjoy them play.

And how would you know this? Especially since it couldn't be any further from the truth. You just don't like Express. Every starter came back. All the ones who left weren't asked back. They were replaced with much better players.

Let's be honest here...one 2nd and sometimes 3rd line middie went to Taz to be a backup. He was replaced by Express

The problem would be that all the starts came back and express did not upgrade the starts.

That's a joke, right? Because the starters on the midfield line are far great players and they added to the attack and defense starting lines. You will see. All top players.

Guys enough with this already with comparing kids. Act like grown adult men and/or women. These are kids you are talking about. Treat others how you would like others to treat your kids.

Enough already let's talk about something else, oh how about lacrosse....let's start how is 24 lax second team ? Or are there any new teams that are looking to make a statement. How are the outlaws looking for this year? Will truefully blue jump into the A brackets?

They lost to the two top teams last year by Wide margins. There is no statement being made this season.

I guess we will see soon enough. 1/2 the team is new. Will they have it together for the first tournament? I'm sure they will at least give a good fight.

Good players. Part time coach who does bare minimum. No chance with the big boys who go 3x a week all year. For sure will pound igloo and outlaws though

Basically the GC boys came back as starters...everyone else is new.

The "big boys " ?? Did you just say that ? Hahahahah. You are a loser. I'll bet your "big boy" will have trouble making your Wolfpack team in a few more year when all the other kids open eyes of the coaches. The "new flavor" always tastes better. You will see.

whatever you want to believe. Is it every week? No. Is it most weeks, yes. Some is optional but everyone shows. I can tell you last year one of the top teams had 100+ practices and played 50+ games

No team is practicing 3x a week in fall or winter. they go to 2-3x when they can get outside in late spring.

How many new players were picked up by Taz this year? How many went elsewhere? I can't imagine there was too much turnover.

looks like Taz picked up 3 players (1 being a 2nd goalie since team only had 1 last year) - 4 boys are no longer with team

Really really big games, like the boys don't sleep for days before and after, it's insane! I mean you have to see it to believe it, NOT. What a loser you are ^

So what u call a County Championship game? A really , really big game ?? What a loser you sound like

Funny 2 different posters and a lost same response. Calm down pops. It's only 5th grade. Your little Rabil still has plenty of time to hate it , not grow, level off . Hopefully not but most of the time , that's what happens . So take a deep breath and talk to something other then lacrosse with him.

Big games in 5th grade? Good grief. You're the one who's pumping up his head with this. "Son, get to sleep, you have a BIIIIG GAME tomorrow". These are 5th graders!

Alot of haters out there. 5th grade dads being put down because of "Big Games." You guys should of seen 4th grade games! Anyone who has seen a pack-Taz Game knows whats up.
I hope one day my boy can experience that level of commitment responsibility and team work.

It's not THAT odd... You are at tournaments and sometimes watch another game, when your son is not playing. Back off a bit!

My kids have been playing travel lacrosse for years. My little guy is 10-yrs old. I am aware of certain towns that find it ok and part of the norm to hold back there kids for sports.But with this 2024 age group, I have noticed and inquired so (not making assumptions) on all of the top teams and in most cases up to and over 80% of the team is made up of kids that should be in 6th grade. So go ahead start the banter about if your kid is good enough he would make the team. Well...He did make the team! but I still find it ridiculous that we as parents and more important, the club owners find this ok.

While I can't vouch for the %, I have to say, when I look at my now 13 yo, who has always played on age-appropriate 2021 travel teams, if he had been playing on a 2022 team, he would have been very dominant due to his athleticism alone. Speed and strengthwise, it would have been a joke - he wouldn't even have needed to be more than adequately skilled to achieve that dominance. I just don't see the logic in pretending that a boy is better than he is by playing down!

The people that don't think there are Big games at this level are the ones who have sons that either play on a low level teams or just sit the bench on a mediocre team. Or at no point were competitive in their own life. Being excited for a Big game is what puts the boys on top teams playing at a top level. This is not just about Lax but any sport they play or even the bigger picture which is Life. At what point does any game get big or competitive? I saw this with my older son " oh they're only 10,11,12,13 all of a sudden they are 16-17 and being left behind by the rest of the boys who took the road of getting excited for big games and treating them as such. I am by no means saying your kid should be miserable playing the sport or not take time off to be a kid, but if he is going to stick with it and has aspirations to play on the top tier teams than the road starts with his drive towards each and every game and what he can bring to the field for his team. Not much different than life.

they are called games for a reason. A "big" game is one the mets lost last night, cost their organization millions in lost revenue just from one or two possibly three series. Now thats a big game. Our 5th graders playing for the Hershey Squirt cup not so big. I dont care what team you are on there are no big games in 5th grade.

Pack Taz games ? You mean the games where the idiot parents go crazy on the sidelines ? Oh yea those games ... Yes I have seen one. And you parents should check yourselves. LOSERS !!

Again, it's only a big game to you, in your own mind. Kids at this age don't care nearly as much as you do. You really need to get over yourselves and enjoy your kids being 10 years old. The kids forget "big game" losses 15 minutes after the game, while you lay awake wondering what might have been, thinking about how you're gonna spin the loss on BOTC

Last year my son , who is a top player at another age group asked me sadly just to drop him off at the game and let him play without me on sidelines. Yes sidelines , not on the field like a lot of us nuts wind up. He said he and some of his friends get nervous and embarrassed by us. Truth. I gave him his request and he torn it up as he does most of the time. Now I sit a few yards away , by myself. People , the kids hate us before , during and after these "big games" as you call them. Trust me.

I see no harm in treating every game like its a big game, every test like its the sat's . regardless of level- if the competitive juices are not flowing for any game, than why bother playing, yes, I think the parents take this very seriously as 1000's of dollars are spent and countless hours at the field, so what . I see nothing wrong with having a child get a good night sleep before a tournament, a test, a recital, whatever. if you don't take travel seriously, than why play . of course the big game does not matter in the grand scheme of life, but. why do anything in life half assed

I feel like the people who [lacrosse] about hold backs are the people who's little superstar just doesn't look as good as some of the other kids. That's parent ego and it has no place in youth sports. And please spare me the whole "it's a danger to the other kids" act. If you're afraid of your boy getting hurt, then maybe the sport isn't for you. My kid is one of the smallest on his team. He beats them with speed. He still takes his shots, but he learned a long time ago to get back up. It's part of the game.

Up until about 12, one year or even less equates to 'miles' of difference between kids and their abilities and athleticism, so the whole "what difference does it make" comments are very uniformed. Arguing about holdbacks from 13 yo and up is pretty much where that argument falls apart. That said, the sport should be age based, NOT grade based for obvious reasons, and USAL seems to be trying to move that way.

Wait a second. You are stating that 80% of all the 2024 kids are hold backs? Thats nuts. My kid is on a town and travel team and none of the kids on his teams should be in 6th grade. His travel team does have 2 december birthdays, so I can give you those kids as "holdbacks" but that's it. 2 of 45 is not 80%

I agree with you 100%... difference between most 10 year olds & 9 year olds is very noticeable. Even within 10 year olds is a huge difference. A january birthday vs a september birthday is huge. Tougher to see differences between a 15 & 14 year old.

And USAL very much may want to move to an age based system vs grade based, but they don't have the muscle to pull it off. Until the clubs make the change, you'll continue to see teams build by grad year.

But we're not talking about a full year. We''re talking about 3 months, and in many cases, less. Also, since when does USAL have a day in anything??

USAL has the muscle if they want to ue it - they can make it so the insurance coverage offered through membership is only valid if a league/tournament/etc plays in age based formats. USAL has already carved out exceptions to the age based ideal that cover areas where participation rates are lower, but LI and MD are not that!

If a holdback beats up on an age appropriate player so be it, but it will always be just that. An older kid playing a younger kid.
Life is unfair and so are youth sports. Get used to it.

I'm so freaking tired of people coming on and complaining about holdbacks. Guess what?? There are kids that are bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic, have a higher lax IQ, etc... than your son. It will always be this way. Do you know why US Lax doesn't do anything about it??? Because it's youth lacrosse and it doesn't matter to anyone but you. That's the real reason. They have much more pressing concerns than your kid playing against someone that is, on average, 6 months older. This is all meaningless. The sooner you accept it, the easier your life will be! Just let it go.

Real mature. My point exactly.

If USAL didn't care about it, and others didn't care about it, USAL wouldn't be expending the time and money to try and change to an age-based system. Perhaps you should refer to other more mature sports organizations that have evolved to this for the same reasons - first and foremost, it is about safety of the players; level competition is a secondary consideration. It is apathetic attitudes such as yours that prevent any organization from improving. Personally, one of my sons is a December b'day who could been in the grade below, then playing 'down' and dominating, but he plays on age with all his on age friends, and he is also big enough to play with the holdbacks that play down at his grade year - I've seen my son play down on a couple occaisions, and he looked like Rabil out there against that age group, but a middle of the road player in his on age team. That doesn't make it right, and I was under no illusions that he should be playing down just to achieve that false accomplishment. Before 8th grade, it matters a lot, and that is supported by most studies on athletes and maturity - you're entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts. There is enough diversity in size, strength, ability, etc, etc within a 12-month age band, yet you want to suggest that expanding that band as much as 24 months has no bearing, despite the studies that suggest otherwise? Seriously??!

Spoken Like a parent who has held his kid back just for lax....All other youth sports have age requirements..so should Youth Lax! And when they do your bigger stronger faster hold back will have to sit the bench when playing a game fairly with boys his age.

my son is 23 and was held back to play for Recon 2024

I agree with this post 100%. Nicely put! Thank you!

Same coversation over and over. This is the way it is. Is it fair no. Have your son play another sport. If he chooses to play this sport, deal with it. I don't mean to sound rude, but there isn't anything left to say on this. Its pretty simple deal with it or leave.

Obviously you're concerned about your sons safety. I would suggest picking up your skirts from the dry cleaner and leaving one out for him. Pathetic.

Go have a catch with your son and use your time wisely. Jealous little man

You Are mistaken. It should and does matter. If there is no one governing the youth tournaments then they will and are becoming more dangerous and violent. I see it all the time. The coaches are recruiting older and older kids to participate.This IS done.so that they have more wins more wins equal more $. So as the hold backs are much more common then so does the playing down concept come into play.When does it stop.You Need to have a set rule for AGE not grade.

I wouldn't worry about Team 24 this year. Their travel kids are committed to real travel teams this season and now they are basically Levittown PAL.

Except for TAZ no 2024 team matters in this tournament. If the WP is not there to play them, its a cake walk for the team.

Before 8th grade, it matters a lot, and that is supported by most studies on athletes and maturity - you're entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts. There is enough diversity in size, strength, ability, etc, etc within a 12-month age band, yet you want to suggest that expanding that band as much as 24 months has no bearing, despite the studies that suggest otherwise? Seriously??!

Obviously you're concerned about your sons safety. I would suggest picking up your skirts from the dry cleaner and leaving one out for him. Pathetic.

Nice try DB - my sons are both solid kids who also play football, so absolutely no worry there! But, as a youth coach, player safety is at the top of the list - therein lies the difference between actually running a league/sport/team versus the self-centered, ignorant, and uninformed parent.

so much for express A being dominant- lost their first game of the year to BBL

Your kid is a 23 and you had him play with the 2024s for team 24. We all saw it at JDRF last year, it was sad!

You got the wrong guy. I am defending Recon against this guy from 24 slandering Recons name claiming they cheat when Recon has never had a 2024 team.
We all know 24 used holdbacks at Viper , JDRF and SFS.

And only beat a first year club by 6 not a good showing so far. I am sure they will say BBL brought older kids.

only by 6 goals? are you serious? that is the silliest thing i have ever heard. If your team could beat a team by 20 would you want that? or would you want your coach to show some class and move the ball and not rub it in anyone's face? just curious what type of jack [lacrosse] you are.

Taz 10 Express 1
Taz 13 Express 0
Between the two Express Team they managed .5 of a goal.

Build Blocks Lax from NJ were very good. Taz won 8-2 in finals.

to a point I agree but I think express brought this on themselves.

If Express A doesn't make a statement Channy will have a heartattack

They lost to the two top teams last year by Wide margins. There is no statement being made this season.

I guess we will see soon enough. 1/2 the team is new. Will they have it together for the first tournament? I'm sure they will at least give a good fight.

Not so much. Bye schwajle. See you in June. Que the recent college grad assistants.

All you people shoot your mouths off. First it was Wolfpack. Then it was express. You bring in the haters and then you act hurt and shocked when you get called out. After you get beat. If you just shut your mouths no one would say anything.

JDRF & SFS???? Really, you are going to complain about rosters for those.....
- SFS is basically a charity pick up game, and if you are concerned with "winning" at SFS, you really are missing the point of the day
- JDRF is a 3 game jamboree, not pool play with playoffs. Again, missing the point of the day if you are worried about standings and cheaters.

Both help generate money for great causes. If you want to complain about a team using holdbacks, or non-roster players at a championship style tournament, go ahead.....I won't even bash you for complaining that it was at Viper, which is basically a town tourney (oops, I did)

You need to get a life, but yes, BBL was a great team

Just love reading all the chatter about 5th grade LAX. I WAS one of the maniacal Dads on the sidelines, desperate for my son to perform at his very best every time he took the field. Played for one of the often mentioned teams(elite A teams) for past 2 years. Now on new team with coach that treats the kids as individuals within a team, emphasizing having fun while practicing 2x/week and really improving stick skills, team play and field IQ. FACT-half the kids playing travel will either be out of the game by 7/8 grade, or will be surpassed by better athlete who picks up a a stick little later and kick butt on pure athleticism. I for one am no longer taking 5th grade lacrosse like it is anything more than 5th grade lacrosse. Decided not to add parental pressure to a 10/11 year old as the travel/club game is pressure enough. As long as my son is improving, having fun and getting good coaching, likely he will continue playing vs hating it 3-4 years from now. And if not than so what? No scholarship?? He also plays travel soccer and CYO Basketball. Just like a 10/11 year old should. Happy raving to those living vicariously thru their children.

How did the mighty "24 Lacrosse" team fair yesterday...????

I brought my son and his buddies down to watch yesterday (his team was not in the tourney). They have friends on both 24 and Legacy. Thought both teams looked really good - was great to watch the game at that level. Was also great that the boys took a lot from watching a high-level game like they played - so, instead of fart jokes on the car ride home, they actually talked about what went right and what did not for both teams.

sorry...new to this...not sure if I had a typo or the [****] in my comment above is censored

They have friends on 24 and Legacy Taz. All really nice kids.

Well, you could say, atleast they showed up.

There was no competition at this tournament. Its time to only play in tournaments that are invites. Taz, WP, Bethesda, Madlax should only be playing each other, As your team gets better and you feel you can compete with them the invitation will be extended to your team. To enter into these tournaments and beat teams by 12-13 goals is a waste of time for everyone. Your son only gets better by playing the better kids , its that simple. Your kid out there scoring goals and making passes means nothing if he's doing it against B players. Even scrimmaging a lower level team is a waste at this point. Eventually when your son gets to middle school and steps on the field with these A players the game is going to spin him into the ground. You cant build your skills against lower level players and expect to step on a field with boys who have been playing on these top teams for 4+ years and your boy is going to be able to handle it. I've seen this with my 2019 son. Playing against low level teams gives a boy a false sense of success and the fall from that is much harder than getting out there with the top boys and trying to compete at their best or worse they get to a team with top players and sit the bench because they were never put in a true competitive atmosphere. Its no different with my daughters team so this is not a boy\girl situation.

WHY CANT TAZ PLAY 2023 LIKE WOLFPACK

Definitely not a boy/girl issue. It's clearly a you issue. Do you tell everyone at work how great your kids are? You must be a blast to be next to at tournaments. Better yet, you should forego tournaments altogether and just start hitting showcasss. You're absolutely crazy. And, I'll go one further. Maryland teams have no interest in trekking up to LI. They have fall and spring leagues where they play the top teams on a weekly basis. They don't need your kid to make them better.

Invitationals only in 5th grade... what a dope.

They like to beat up on the lesser teams. Makes the coaches feel good. I mean they are up by 10 goals and still not putting their backups in. Sad but true.

This guy is such a tool box . I really few bad for his kid !

Simple Play up like all real good teams do

you mean play up...2023 "B".....

Suckers or suck-ups!!!! Every one of you!!! Those who think that their son is the next Paul Rabil are in for a rude awakening. He might be good now but chances are, with lacrosse expanding around the country, he will not even be offered a scholarship.
Then you got the suck-up parents who will say anything to get the kid more playing time. Praise the coach then talk sh.itt about him after he leaves. Pathetic!!
Then you have the parents of the kid barely playing but happily forking over a couple of thousand just to say your kid plays travel lacrosse. Owners must be laughing all the way to the bank! Fillers!! Pathetic!! And these same parents who don't mind when their son sits to let an older, illegal kid play just to get a t-shirt!!

Save your money and take your family on a nice vacation.

Try 2023 A. Step up or shut up

Thanks for the advice genius, but why don't you just mind your own business, stay off this forum and spare us all your bitter little lectures.

But why does Taz needs to play up to prove anything to anyone?? They are playing in the correct age group and they are winning, until someone else's beats them, they are still the top dawg for 2024 on Long Island and the team to beat, hats off to Taz!!!

TAZ has played up and all but one of there scrimmages all last year where against 2023 teams as well this year already. The difference is they just don't brag about it. Bottom line is which ever team your son plays on, if there happy great if not move on. Very simple, don't understand all the back and forth crap.

Sorry, but your kid isn't the next Paul Rabil. I hate to be the one to burst your dreams. Just because you turned out to be a nobody, don't live vicariously through him. I'm sure he will do better than you since you set the bar so low for him. Fork over another 2 grand please!

Whats the problem with best on LI?

Seriously??? Is Taft a joke?
Oh they aren't playing Longboards - I mean Taz. How convenient! Ha! There is no way they can compete against Taz players. That's why they don't have them scheduled to play them. It's their tournament!

That would be something....

I'm not saying they would beat Taz, but they can certainly beat a team with a few Taz players. And the rest of the teams, besides Express (who scares no one) I've never even heard of.

Lets all wish the 2025 91 Blast team the best of luck saturday and see how they measure up. They are obviously very confident and hopefully their play will back up Poppy's big chest. GOOD LUCK !!!

That team is in for a rude awakening this weekend....
Then everyone will cry that the older kids beat up on them...silly.
if your gonna play up not knowing the competition play b or don't complain after

No Taz or Wolfpack. I see no real reason for them not be fairly successful.

This is not last season. Teams change every year. Losing to an older club looks a lot better than losing to a club on grade level. It's a chump move. The team is not nearly good enough to be playing up. I hope the kids and parents enjoy spending a Saturday getting beat down.

I don't have a problem with teams playing up, but play in the B division. We're already missing the two top teams in the division. Some people actually don't care about T-shirts and just want their son to play competitive lacrosse. Playing a team that's a year younger is not going to make our clubs any better. They're too small and theres going to be a lot of tears.

I just saw that every A team in that organization is playing up. So according to you, every one is avoiding their year. These teams may get beat , but I admire people challenging themselves. Come springtime, when lax is in full swing, no football/soccer conflicts 3 or 4 times a week. All these teams will play each other several times. Worry about your own son chief. Wishing 9 year old kids to get beat down, that shows what type of person you are.

If every Org did this everyone would be playing grade based.
They have no idea how good the grade based talent is until they actually play a tournament there. So silly. Playing UP sounds flashy but a beat down playing up and a beat down on grade is still a beat down.
For all those PC people..... Beat down=a lopsided game where a team gets outplayed on both sides of the field.---- Zero development value.

At 10 years old I prefer my son playing against kids his own age. I wouldn't want him playing up nor do I want him playing kids younger than him. Here is a big difference in size at this age. Just play your age so everyone gets good practice.

No one is wishing for 9 year olds to get beat down; however, teams play tournaments to win. Size and strength are competitive advantages that can and should be used in the game of lacrosse. How is it helping a team playing at grade level if they can't play as hard as they have been taught to play because their opponent is tiny? Also, they are not as good a team as the older teams from that organization. The don't compare to WP last year or Bandits two years ago. There is no comparison. Play B divisions. Leave A divisions to teams that play A level lacrosse.

If anyone here thinks the Blast or Geese can even compete with the Taz\WP at a tournament you should leave the sport now because you are as clueless as they come. Not only would there be a 15 goal difference but they would get hurt physically. I've seen all 4 teams play and its not even close. You have all lost your minds. You don't know how good these 2024 teams are until you play against them. Speed and IQ are light years ahead. I've watched Blast\Geese kids run away from a ball instead of getting hit. This is not something you see on Taz \WP even during last years season. Stay on age until you are ready or watch your kids come off the field stunned by what just happened to them. Unnecessary across the board

I agree. But they are afraid to play Geese. Sound familiar? Didn't this happen with the pack last year?

I get it, duck, duck, goose... really, the geese were o-fer last season and Express were less of a challenge. And how do you figure they are ducking 2025 Express by playing 2024 Express. Explain that to me.

pretty simple. you lose to 2024 express and easy excuses. You lose to 2025 express and clear you're not as good as you thought.

Playing up makes a lot of sense if you look outside the microcosm of Long Island lacrosse. When you take a LI team down to Maryland, every kid is bigger than them. Just a fact and Im not going to bother speculating as to why that is.

Regardless, when the kids play against bigger kids they have to use skills they may not need against kids their own age. Simply put - move the ball or get crushed. It is a good way to see what breaks on your team when faced with kids who are physically more powerful than yours. It is a smart move.

So Taz and Wolfpack are both playing Blatant and guess what...WP are playing up and Taz is playing for a tee shirt. Unreal.

how do you know?

Call Blatant if you have a team registered. They will be happy to tell you

It makes no sense if you look outside the microcosm of Maryland. If you get beat up bu big kids on LI or Md, you're still getting beat up by big kids. And, to your argument, if size was the only concern, then move to the B divisions so that you're not wasting the time of the A division teams.

Exactly! Do you think 5th graders WANT to play 4th graders who think they are all that? I hope Blast gets their a$$ kicked. Stay in your own year A bracket. You have good competition in this tournament. You deserve an A$$ wiping if you play up.

Its a no win situation for them...

and you all know 2025 Express A is not getting ducked under any circumstances. Those folks who think that can quack IF they ever beat the Geese. After that then they have earned a shot at the Blast. Saying that Blast is avoiding them is just foolish.

Are you people talking about 4th graders ? Ducking ? Are u serious ? And I thought the 2022 parents were crazy. I wonder if the 4th graders have a forum to trash talk. I mean they are the ones playing here right ??

Go back to the 2025 thread. No one cares. Deadbeats

Blast won 5-3 last year vs Express...you are acting like Blast are so much better.

Exactly why they won't play them.

5 - 3? Really? Was at that game, playing next and it was about 8 or 9 to 3 and the dope entering the scores put in a 5. Don't pin your hopes to that dream.

So what you meant was 2022 Express is not good. Will they beat 2025 Blast though?

All these so called 2024 A teams had better soundly beat the 2025 team, thats all I can say. If they lose, the mommies and daddies will all have lots of explaining to do at work when they try to spin how this happened to their little Pannell.

yes, you are so right. I am so nervous.. what will my boss and colleagues think if a 2025 team beats my sons team. It would be the ultimate humiliation. I would have to resign, possibly move out of state. What a tool

Trust me, there is nothing to worry about. That team is far from what Wolfpack was last year. They would struggle in the B division. They're an average team that plays in a below average grade with no dominant teams.

Isn't this a 2024 thread???
Go bring your 2025 nonsense to another thread.
You are a day away from a hard reality check.....

Either way you slice it, the trolls will find something wrong.

If you lose, forget it. You'll never hear the end of it.
If you win by 2 goals, you should've beaten them by 15.
If you win by 15 goals, you beat up on a 4th grade team.

There is no winning for any of the A bracket teams because the trolls will talk sh*t either way.

Have a fun weekend everyone & enjoy it.

It would be 15+ goal difference 2025 Daddy. Your age group is weak and there is maybe a handful of boys that can play. You cant call yourself a strong team and run away from a hit instead of picking up a ground ball. I've watched 2025 games at 3 different tournaments last season, the ball spends more time on the ground then in the stick. You don't belong on the field with the WP or the Taz unless you want your son to walk away from the game for good. Total *** kicking. Now go back to the 2025 thread and pump your chest in the kiddie division. Joker

Let's just enjoy a beautiful Saturday watching our kids playing a game they love.

Not sure if I have even heard a bigger bunch of losers talk [lacrosse] about 10 year old kids. If you cant pay for your kids college yourself you are a loser so get off the thread and get back to work.

Wow, what a tough guy you are. My son is on that team and we all know they belong. Bring your little boy (and his 2024 team to back him up) to the parking lot and I'll let my on grade, on age son kick his fanny. Then you can see a total *** kicking you total jealous, bitter loser.

We know how you spend your time at work, "my son is on the 2024 LIE A Team and I'm so proud of him". You better win. And based on all the other blowhards have to say here, you better win big.

Many travel teams in 2024b bracket, who's the favorite there?

Seriously, who is posting all of this BS - sounds like a bunch of 11 yos, I might be gracious with that assessment . . .!

The Blast will get absolutely trounced, plain and simple,bigger , faster, stronger,more talent and field IQ..
Their coach is an idiot for going A bracket,if he was following what the elite teams in the adjoining age group do, he'd put them grade up in B at best. and against town teams.

Would guess ESM, Millon, Express and Greenwich will make the playoff bracket.

ESM is an A team. They have no business playing in a B bracket. Sounds like they are gunning for a t shirt.

Team legacy home of the average

Express 2x Champs Today

I heard blast really proved they can play up! Ha ha!! If I was a parent on that team I would be furious. That was a complete waist of time for them and the teams they played.

Saw 2024 express/Esm ship game. Just curious to know where is Esm from? Very agressive bunch of boys, many penalties thrown there way.

The only thing that was aggressive about ESM in that champ game was their crazy mommies. Boy were they an annoying bunch. Guess they were expecting to win. And if you really saw the game it was clear who the aggressive team was and it wasn't ESM.

They had 5 TAZ kids. Please stop

Impressive that a town team was even in a Championship game.

Taz kids everywhere yesterday. ESM, Scrambled Eggs and basically the entire Longboard team that was handing out uniforms yesterday like they were candy. They wound take any kid that would help them win but at the end of the day Express were the Champs and the Longboaed coaches were left to recoup all of the uniforms they handed out.

perfectly stated! I saw the same thing! But it was great competition and practice for fall ball. Just sad they were constantly adding kids as they finished playing for other teams.

Hey people don't get your panties in a bunch apparently this happens all the time Taz brings in a kid from Connecticut for every game.

first it's the holdbacks complaint. Now complain about on age kids playing. As long as the kids are on age who cares what team they are on. They must be having fun

10 year old win at all costs? my kid played 5 games yesterday and was totally burnt! I can't imagine subjecting him to even more games. This is sure to all backfire.

Honestly as long as the kids are of age and are having fun does it matter how many teams they play on? It is the parent's job to worry about the chance the level of burn out. It happens at all levels south shore thunder 2023 and Strong island saints 2021 just to name a couple.

complain? I believe it said it made for great competition. And guess what? It back fired! Express beat them and played with the same team from start to finish. They are the successful team developing their kids AND they won!

ESM=Trash. Worst lax parents\coaches out there. Has always been that way

Express 2024 won in both brackets, great job to them. Really unsure why there win is getting broadcasted, they should have won. One express team played a town team and the other a multi town town. The Express B team had some players helping them out from their other team, not cheating at all, they needed to fill roster spots. Express A won in a really exciting game that came down to last few seconds. Let express enjoy the W, they don't get too many when wp or taz are playing in same bracket.

Express played TAZ this weekend and won!

Haha ESM Mommy. Nice try but no cigar. Express B had no help at all from any outside team and they actually only had a 15 man roster for the finals due to other conflicts. Not one Express A kid played with them. Those boys were actually watching and cheering for them before they had to get ready for their own game. Leave the adding of players to the Longboards, that's their pathetic game.

I think/hope that was meant top be a joke as everyone played Taz this weekend. Taz boys were all over the place, Longboards, ESM, Scrambled Eggs, Peque, and even the 2025 Geese.

Longboards is not a town team and those kids do not need any help. Also do you play lacrosse to lose sound like someone is a little bitter.

They don't need any help other than all the jerseys being swapped for taz kids for the finals..
The days are numbered for the little ones, move to attack ,then gone in place of bigger, faster, stronger atheletes.

wont there always be a place for the very fast smaller kids with great sticks?

afraid not. attack kids are getting bigger stronger and just as fast as the little guys.
same thing with defensemen. the size and athleticism of the kids at post h.s. level is amazing. that doesn't mean you cant enjoy watching your child play in these younger years, but if dad is 5'7 and mom is 5'0 its not a rosy picture for potential size.

what is minimum size ball park on average kid needs to be to play attack in college

Yes. The bench

The sport is being played by bigger, stronger athletes. Can a small fast player make it? Yes but they are far and few between and are rarely seen anymore. They also need to be a ridiculous player. 6'1 210-225 is an average size for a lax player at the higher levels. Not hard to look this up, check out any college roster and you will see the #s

Matt Cavanaugh was considered tiny at 5'8" 175lbs. He was dominant. Dillan Molloy is listed at 6' 220 lbs. Lots of leg strength.

Hofstra has 9 attack on their roster. 6 are below 6 feet. 2x are 5'8" and you know sizes are inflated. Similar story at Stony Brook. 6 of 11 attackers are under 6 feet.

Thanks,took your advice. Looked at Stony Brook's roster and there are 20 players that are under 6' and 200lbs. So, you're correct that it certainly helps to be 6'+ and 200+ it definitely doesn't mean a smaller player doesn't have a shot to play at that level.

So 2 out of 3000 players? What?? Name 300 and you have an argument. C'mon now

Do the both of you know what Average size means? Yes there are players under 6ft but not as many that are above 6 ft. Wait wait ahhh you got it. Sorry guys the other poster is right, athletes are getting bigger

Plenty of room for the under 6 foot kids. Denver has 22 of them on their roster and they are the gold standard

Look at most any D1 roster and at least 1/3 of the players are under 6' and 200lbs. Again, being a big kid certainly helps, but there are plenty of smaller players that make it to that level. Arguing about it on a 2024 forum is a little ridiculous.

what is small? Jordan wolf, jimmy bitter rob panel, sankey? then look at kids like kevin M - headed to Michigan etc etc etc- I understand what your saying , but a crafty , quick, tough gritty player should be able to play somewhere?

unc has 17 kids below 6 feet closer to 5 foot 9 and at least 5 less than that

Settle down, you missed my point. Cavanaugh was the exception to the rule. Molloy is not considered big at 6'; however, he's 220 pounds.

duke has 16 kids below 6 feet this year - glad no one told them they were too small

NO, Please, not this argument again!!!!!

Look at all sports, are the players any of them getting smaller?

Football? Basketball? Baseball? NOPE.

But lacrosse will buck the trend so the average kid size wise can still have a chance at glory in his parents minds. CooCoo.

Why is the littlest kid on the field always the coaches son?

Matt Cavanaugh was considered tiny at 5'8" 175lbs. He was dominant. Dillan Molloy is listed at 6' 220 lbs. Lots of leg strength.

So 2 out of 3000 players? What?? Name 300 and you have an argument. C'mon now

looked at syracuse, hopkins, maryland, UNC and all had 15-20 players under 6 feet tall. Cavanaugh, bitter, sankey, manny, pannell. Those are just a few of the elite MLL players that come to mine. Bigger is better all other things being equal. And players today are bigger than they we in 70,80, 90s - but you could say the same about most sports.

Look at all sports? You mean look at all NCAA sports.... what about wrestling and soccer???they are sports?no need for super big fellas. I watch quite a bit of college lax. The teams are not huge.

while you see a lot of rosters with 5'10 or 11" . sure that's under 6' but huge difference between that size and say 5'3" or 4' kids. small and crafty? that's not going to help if you are really small. there are many big, fast strong and crafty kids.

You really are thick headed aren't you? Nobody said that being a bigger player doesn't give them an advantage. But, about half of all college rosters are kids 6' and under. To say that 10 year olds that are on smaller side now will never have a chance, makes you sound stupid and uninformed.

My kid at 2024 just sized out. Too big... Not "crafty" enough.

Wrestling? They had to create a superheavyweight class because there was too much disparity. Soccer players are longer, leaner and faster while carrying more weight. To argue against nature is just dumb, dumb, dumb.

I'm sorry your son is small. But I bet he is crafty.

no one is arguing against nature - no doubt kids are bigger now than ever before - and harder and harder for a smaller guy to compete against a 6 foot 4 long pole who can also run with the wind., however - there is some truth to the fact that 6 foot 4 may have a tougher time defending against a smaller attackman who is actually tougher to cover than a bigger guy due to the size. im not saying its the norm, but some of these kids can get so low, it makes it harder for these bigger guys

what's the point here? If your son's pediatrician says your kid won't hit 6 feet they should stop playing?

Nah, just like pointing out stupidity and ignorance when I see it. Please keep it up. This is fun.

wrong

Glad the Wolfpack played up this weekend so that they could make it to the finals and then be declared "co-Champs" when the tournament organizers didn't make them play the Warriors. What a crock.

Ok, we get it. Just because you and the little Mrs. are both 220lbs+ you think that your little Johnny will be big and that alone will help him leave those shifty little attackmen in the dust. Good luck

Nope, just both tall and athletic, as opposed to crafty and teeny, tiny.

PS, the recruiters look at the parents. Yup, size does matter.

You know where they don't care about size? At the hedge fund where I work. Hit the books and be coachable and there will be spots at top academic schools which is all that matters. As soon as you get into college forget summer lax and get an internship. If you think travel lax is competitive wait until you see college kids competing for the best jobs.

You won't be saying that when he's making more money in a year then you have in your entire career.

Get Low? Really. Like go through his legs? Go watch a Varsity practice. Watch how a 6"4' 220lb longpole matches against a 5-foot nothing attackman. Even just in an isolated one on one drill. The long pole will drool over that matchup.

College coaches will spend time sizing the parent(s) up at a visit. Just had it happen. Even offer the height of parents/grandparents and siblings (everything helps). There is no doubt that lean 6"5' Long Island kid that can run like a gazelle is an asset on any roster and coveted by out of state ADs and boosters.

BUT this is 5th grade youth ball. The kids have not hit their growth spurt or puberty yet (except maybe the really holdbacks). Stop worrying about college and let them learn and enjoy or eventually love the sport.

Ask a varsity player. Once Schoolball starts it all changes. New kids suddenly join. Lacrosse becomes faster and there is much more contact. No more Daddy coaches or watching on the sidelines in practice. They practice or play 6 days a week. 7am practices in the rain on the weekends. The sport isn't as fun and kids move on.

Why not just let them enjoy the sport now. For now just forget how big they are or will be and where they are going to college. They are 10.

Suddenly it's not about size anymore.... are only the teeny tiny kids smart too? Only in lax I guess. And at the teeny, tiny fund. 10 million to get in and must be under 5'8"!

Now that is an ignorant statement. ESM has hard working dad coaches who give up their own time to coach a great bunch of hard working boys and great parents. ESM is a town team that held their own against a strong travel team that played unbelievable defense. ESM is not trash and that is sad that you would have to stoop to name calling. Shame on you.

ESM moms were not the loud ones. The one Express mom was hooting and hollering like it was the olympics. At least the ESM TOWN team did not add players to their rosters for the Championship game like Express did.

Why not just let them enjoy the sport now. For now just forget how big they are or will be and where they are going to college. They are 10.

Well sh*t, you guys would know right?

Actually, yes I would. I have a daughter who has commited to a D1 school that she will be attending this fall and a son who is in his 2nd year at a D2 school. Hold your negative comments trolls.

Alright, enough of this size garbage already.

Who's playing Blatant this weekend? Wolfpack (Playing up) Taz (scared to get tested), Igloo, 24, Outlaws? Anyone else? Looks like it will be another beautiful day.

what about if both parents are short , but both well over 200lbs.? is that good?

Don't worry there's another tryout next year. One day Dad, one day! Keep those fingers crossed

Blatant called last night and said our team isn't tall enough to play this weekend. hehehehe

wanted - 6 foot 5 male 6 foot female to chaperone my son and let him call you mom and dad to his college visits- will pay for all travel

kind of exactly what I posted last week. This thread is becoming a forum for insults and beat downs for those with kids not playing on "the best of the best" IN 5TH GRADE. Pannell-MLL Offensive Player of the Year-how big? Big enough when you have mad skills. Kids grow at different times and develop at different times-physically, mentally, emotionally. PERIOD. Rest is all BS. If your kid is on TAZ then good for him and I guess good for YOU. That should at least assure him of a scholarship and financial success. ROTFLMAO

Given blatant was still looking for another 2024 team I would expect that either both are playing up or neither

It's posts like this that make checking out this site worthwhile. Thanks for the laugh!

No Pack this weekend unless they get added to 2024 A. There is a filler spot in there right now.

Didn't they play up at the Havoc and then not play the final and declare it a tie against Warriors? What a joke!

Taz should just go up to the 2023B or A bracket to even out the 2024 bracket

Just discovered this website. This is youth lacrosse! Half of these kids aren't even going to be playing lacrosse in 5 years, and there's a good chance you parents that comment on here will be the reason. Stop living your unsuccessful athletic careers/boring marriages and home lives through your children. These kids go out there and play to have fun and people like you ruin it. You people need a serious sit down on a leather couch in a heavily bookcased office of a professional. Or maybe just a long hard look in the mirror. Jesus Christ.

Well said. Sad thing is that they will ignore you and continue with their nonsense. To think that they are parents is frightening. If their kid read what they wrote he would say, "damn, my dad's an assh.ole!!"

Awesome post. Hopefully this will shut people up. It won't though to many parents living through there kids.

Concerned Brother,

Great post. Just one question...
How tall are you?

You seem to have the same problem you speak of.

If you guys were smart you get your boys some golf lessons.

why an A and a B bracket with 7 total teams in the tourney this weekend? I will never understand this. Good luck to all, have fun.

True no height or weight requirement. Heard 91 is going to start a club team up soon after the WWE team.

thats great news! Little johnny can hold on another year!

They are working on the A bracket.

all true "brother", all true. These parents are absolutely out of their minds over 5th grade lacrosse and will surely negate their children's interest to some degree if not entirely long beofre they get that scholarship they desperately desire for their child

Now that's a great idea. No team nonsense-coaching-"my kids was treated unfairly". Hit the ball-add em up-PERIOD. Not a lot of injuries and kids will learn honesty, integrity, and how to be responsible for their own actions/score. Hit it, add em up and see how you did. There are many public facilities today for practice and play that are affordable. It's not just a "rich man's sport. One thing statistically-FACT: kids that play golf get in a lot less trouble in school and out, than kids that play team sports. Not going to expound on why, it is what it is. BTW-have a daughter? Get her to break 80 and see how many scholarships are available for Girls golf.

Schedule has been updated.

Taz Should Play up- Waste of Time for them- Challenge them instead of just winning- Coach is SCARED

Welcome to the 2024!! Enjoy!

Hahaha Golfers get in less trouble than team sports athletes!! Hahaha this guy is the best I've seen on here. Tool of the year! Could be the dumbest statement ever written on here. Hahaha I've read it all now. Golf is a great sport but this guy is such a fool with that statement he should take a Driver to the head

Taz should have gone to the 2023 bracket once the WP pulled out. Hate to say it but they must be looking for tee shirts these fall. The 90% of the team is the same so there is no reason to stay in the 2024 bracket in the fall w/o WP those kids need to be challenged.

Read back a few, outlaws are gonna stun them

Have you learned nothing from express. Say nothing and let the boys play. Do not make prediction on this site.

You seem to be on the wrong website. You are looking for "Back of the sandtrap"... BOTST.

Sandtrap? is that golf? Hee hee-everyone's a comedian.

Will Taz have other players from the rest of the tri-state area besides Connecticut?

You obviously weren't there Scoop O'Callahan

So let me get this straight? Connecticut really!! So they are probably the best right now at this age group. Wow, Pretty insecure to me. The parents must be happy and feel safe about there kids spot on the team.

Feel safe? Shouldn't the best kids make the team. Maybe that's why the rest of our teams can't keep it close with teams like Taz.

Funny express and 9 1 have Tons of out of state kids

so it's not about the kids??? I feel bad for the Taz kids who got bumped for this guy. The team has a lot of talent. But talent doesn't get better when there sitting on the bench all game. It's a shame. You always have to look over your shoulder in 10 yr old lax.

Who is the DELETED

What other teams does the DELETEDplay for?

"Wow, does he really live here? I thought they just flew him in for games!"

How does a kid practice on long island, when he lives out of state. Is this actually true.

Beware team 24. His father was a mudder, his mother was a mudder

if you are feeding to branching their brand out to other states that's a [lacrosse] of a lot different. Apples and oranges buddy.

Ferry and and car ride and he is there in about an hour. Same as living On Long Island . 9Done has at least one kid from NJ on the team. How many kids on Long Island play for the Dukes Nationals team? They practice in another state. Hockey kids have been doing it for years. The Ferraro family bought a house in Iowa so the kids could play Hockey with better kids. They both made the NHL

Are you talking about practice, practice. Are talking practice , come on man.

Yeah but NHL you make several million dollars. MLL you make 15 grand a year if your lucky. Maybe making a few hundred a week giving private lessons. If my son had a good shot to make several million dollars and have a dream life, I'd also allow him to play out of state.

team 24 doesn't need to go to NJ to find better kids, they have older better kids right there in Levittown.

Are you saying that this players parents take a ferry to practice 2-3x'a a week. That's pretty impressive.

I've seen DELETED play for Duke's Nationals 2023. Looks like Legacy is at it again. Having older players in a lower age group to TRY to bring their name up!!!

He is a great on age addition to TAZ and will help separate them even more

On age and on grade are two different things

You use the word impressive. I use pathetic and sad. I don't care how good he is, at 10 years old? My son loves lacrosse and is an excellent player but people need to get their priorities straight. Taz is good but not THAT good.

They lost by double digits even with them chtting the real score in half.

Sorry Goofy, on grade as well. Did you ever think he might of played up?

This is long island lax--- on grade ... so few are on age it everyone knows it .
Move on.

And Yet that comment is a shame. Leaving a kid back was supposed to be reserved for kids that were mentally and or emotionally behind. NOT so you could get a leg up in sports. So funny how soccer changed the age,to birth year. and all these kids ran for the hills.The lax hills.

Heard a tazzie daddy was drunk on the sideline and yelling at opposing players and coaches. Nice job. way to feed the stereotype.

Nice try. There were no "drunk" Taz Dads. Way to stir the pot

He was only mildly intoxicated. He yells either way. Could have been stone cold sober and he'd still yell.

Taz dad way out of line. kid got slashed. kid was OK. slasher got non-releasable 2 minutews. Both coaches checked on kid. Taz dad berating opposing coach. and Taz coach did not tell him to Shut his mouth. Taz coach owns this one

Isn't a non releaseable 2 minute penalty pretty harsh for an offense that was "no big deal"?
The next step after that is ejection..
I guess it is the dads fault,they should'nt really care when the kids are down on the field from an intentional act from an angry little boy who doesn't stand a chance in the sport other than his father running the team

It wasn't intentional if that's what you think!

And this is why US Lacrosse should make the change to go by birthdate rather than graduating year. Less injuries, even playing field and less cheaters. Whether your kid is mentally or emotionally behind they should play at their age.

Winding up and hitting someone in the back of the neck from behind isn't intentional!? Accidental? Get a clue.

The ref called a Two minute full time serve penalty on the coaches son, who was losing 10-0.This is a cause and effect situation. If the player doesn't take a baseball swing at the kid. We don't have any fireworks, but it happen. All parties were wrong. The ref handle the situation, the player should learn from it. Parents should stay out of it.

They absolutely should! You would be amazed how the landscape would change!

The Ref called a 2 minute unreleasable penalty on the play. It was dirty and late hit. The coach should use this as a teachable moment. He put the player back in the game after the penalty expire. Bad move. This will promote this behavior going forward.

a 10 year old who makes a mistake whether intentional or not should be penalized ,as he was AND spoken to by his coaches to hopefully prevent something like that from happening again, as he was. The dad who gets emotional and makes a mistake in calling out the coach and saying " Hey #$%^& teach your kid how to play the game" while said coach was one of the first people to sprint across the field to see if the kid was ok (thankfully he was) should have have been a man and apologized to the coach by simply saying he lost his cool when he saw his kid get hurt on a play like that. Thats all,,,people need to start realizing that you are standing next to peoples families on the sidelines. Nobody wants to see their kid hurt on a bad play. If the kids make a mistake they need to be reprimanded ..if the parents do they need to own up to their mistakes also.

Stop with the "keeping their starters in" all game BS. All of the kids on that roster played plenty. The team is just very deep. Simply tip your cap to them and move on.

No dog in this argument but, Stop crying already, every kid on that team is a starter. My son wanted to see 5-10 min of the game as we walked to his next game. We saw the play in dispute the defenseman made a clear ball was out of his stick the middie was well on his way down field and the other team player took a full swing to the back of a defenseless player with his back to him totally by surprise. Intentional or not as a parent your crazy if you think you wouldn't react the same way. It would scare anyone of us at that moment. Just my thoughts.

It really would make this great game fun again. The parents on the sidelines would be more respectable and become human again knowing that there boys were playing on an age appropriate playing field.

just an observation, team 24 needs to teach their kids to pass the ball in one of the their 50 practices this season.

For a town team

Horrible message!!! Down by 12 and Slash all you want!!

wth are you talking about? What mistake did any parent make?
Being Vocal about a very disturbing play on the field?
If I was an IGLOO parent I would be more than concerned about how the team conducted themselves on the field. There are bad plays and there are DANGEROUS plays...

That was a very DANGEROUS play and no one brings there kid down in the pouring rain for that type of behavior. SAD SAD SAD. Barone is a good guy and needs to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I did not have a player on either team but I did see the game. I believe that the player from Igloo lost his cool because they were losing. I do not believe for one moment that he, or any child would intentionally hurt someone. Does it need to be addressed? Yes, and I am sure a conversation took place. What concerns me more is that everyone is brushing over the fact that the parent on the sidelines was "mildly intoxicated"! I can't wait for the day alcohol is banned from these tournaments. It is out of control. I walk by some of these fancy tents that all the parents hang out under in between games with their solo cups and often wonder who's driving these kids home?

I sure they looked good playing in a bracket with two 2026 teams, a town travel team and to "C" travel teams

Sorry this was in response to an earlier post about Team 24 2025 team

Down 10-0 and he puts the kid back in after the penalty?

Classless and embarrassing Coach.

That's all on the coach and is disgusting. It's called "Sportsmanship" and "Self Control". Make it a teachable moment. As a coach developing young men it is completely irresponsible and reprehensible of the coach. He should be ashamed of himself. Garbage like this is becoming contagious on LI and needs to be identified and corrected.

No actually just the legacy golden geese team beat them by double digits in the Columbus Day tournament so you must be a parent from that team. So not surprised by your obnoxious comment. Too bad for the geese its parents like you that ruin sports for everyone else. And the team only played one 2026 team on Saturday. They played in the b bracket which is the right ability level for them so why do you have to put them down? They played mamas boyz in the championship who happened to be a very competitive team. Their goalie was awesome.

Remember Geese Daddy, "WE" didn't win anything. You sat on the sideline with your red solo cup living your life through a bunch of 8 year olds. Sad my friend, real sad. Time to get a life

They got hammered by express and geese in that tournament, lost to ###### b team and beat a rebuilding express b team. The bracket this past weekend was very weak. And they barely beat a town travel team and a weak Mamas Boyz team. Keep drinking the cool aid dude its only costing you %1600

You know the cost of playing for team 24? Doesn't sound at all like a geese parent at all because why would they care or try to find out the cost? more like a bitter PAL parent just trying to stir the pot. Get a life.

Not a bitter PAL parent douch. If you're happy spending that kind of money to play against 3rd graders and sub par teams you really are a moron. But hey who am I to tell you how to spend your money you loser.

Wow must have struck a nerve getting all crazy pants with your insults. It's 4th grade lacrosse. Grow up. Maybe it's not in everyone's budget to spend $3,000 to play on a travel team. Unless a team is hosting a tournament how would anyone know what other teams plan on entering? Why would a brand new b level team enter an a bracket? To get crushed? A level teams like geese, express, 91 igloo etc belong in the a bracket.

BASH the kids if you must [lacrosse] but they only played 1 2026 which had no business being there. They beat these Mama Boyz who brought 5th graders down for the finals and still lost. Those kids only practiced about 8 times together so they did well IMO. They are a very strong B team. Come spring the smack Igloo around.

Only team to beat them by double digits was Geese. They had only practiced 4 times at that point. Not saying they can compete with the big 3 but isn't that how you get better????

They played 1 3rd grade team that had no business being in that bracket. I think they are better then Igloo right now. Maybe we should pay $3000 to be on 2nd team of one of the big 3 so we can puff our chests out. Go get your shine box boy...

Why you ask??? Because they needed another team last minute. Other so called a teams must have been hiding.

Wow, sounds like the only nerve that has been struck is the parents who shelled out that kind of money to play 2026 teams, town teams and lower tier travel programs. Enjoy your T-Shirts, come spring what a joke!!

Lets talk about 2029 now
Go back to the 2025 feed.

What about 2036???

2024 should learn to recognize a double or triple team and pass to the open man. Running into and through a double and triple team gets kids hurt when they get older.

There is a couple of boys on that team that do that.

Yep, it's gotten that bad that the 2025 banter has jumped into the 2024 thread.

Who knows if the intentions of the first post about TwentyFour was to start (S***) or if it was just an observation but we all need to know that no matter what is posted on here, it will be ridiculed.

I get it, 91, Express, Igloo, Legacy all clearly "elite" travel teams, no question. Then there are your "B" teams or lower tier teams. I watched these "elite" teams and I was impressed. Eventually with hard work and some good coaching/mentoring, there will be several more A-teams.

Stay in that elite world, it fits for what you are trying to do, leave everyone else alone. Travel town teams need to back off start-ups as well. It's not fair to a kid that wants to grow as a player to be punished. All of these programs are good and they ALL meet or exceed what a parent is looking for so their child can become a better player. Some may be blinded by the big names, so be it, if they have the money, have at it.

So we bash B-brackets while bundled up under three layers of jackets and sweatshirts drinking coffee, while a child is out there busting their butt for the love of the game. Here's the challenge for the "elite" parents, it's your turn, put the gear on get out there and run up and down the field in rainy cold weather and prove to them that you belong in the "elite" division, oh wait, it has nothing to do with you, it's your kids that are playing, so why do you think it's OK for you to be their voice? Please stop with this "weak" team nonsense, ALL teams have their weaknesses from too many kids on a roster to undesirable coaches to ridiculous costs. It is what it is.

Forget Trump and Clinton for the fall of Western civilization, we need to focus on youth sports and it's not even the kids it's the parents. Again there are awesome teams out their but don't fault a 9 year old because of politics, because parents work and the travel team they have selected fits their needs but can give their child a little more than maybe a PAL team. PARENTS ruin sports, period. The only way your kid is talking like this is because they hear it from mom and dad.

STAY OUT OF IT. Let the coaches coach, let the kids play and if you're not happy look for another option. You add nothing to the team or the development of your child if all you do is BASH, BASH, BASH.

Chances are your child is going to be more than a professional lacrosse player and what will your response be, "NO WAY, we invested too much time and money into youth lacrosse for you to be a doctor, a fireman, a lawyer, etc."

Here is a suggestion (start bashing away) but I will provide anyway. Be a chauffer, be that ATM machine for when they need gear, be their fan, be their support, DON'T be their voice, they can handle it, trust me, but if they can't, that would be YOUR fault.

Back to the bracket issue. SO a new team goes to a tournament where they may not belong at the start, they get beat up, but I did not see one kid from that team with his head down crying, but I did see a lot of disappointed parents, WHY? ALL you did was drive them their so get over it. Hopefully it was a learning experience for the coaches who the parents pay to train their children. They make some adjustments, enter a tournament based on their ability as a new program (with NO CONTROL over who is in the bracket with them) beat some teams WIN, they wear their CHAMPIONSHIP shirts to school proud as can be and you MOCK them for it? Those boys earned those shirts, PERIOD. That is truly SAD and this is why parents have no place on the field.

When I start my travel program I guarantee the parents will not like it. The boys don't have to try out, the parents do!

PLEASE just stop.

Can't wait to see the masters degree rebuttals to this post but like everything else on this board, it's JUST AN OPINION, right?

#ALLHOPEISGONE

Best post I've ever read. Thank you!!!

Here's the challenge for the "elite" parents, it's your turn, put the gear on get out there and run up and down the field in rainy cold weather and prove to them that you belong in the "elite" division, oh wait, it has nothing to do with you, it's your kids that are playing, so why do you think it's OK for you to be their voice? Please stop with this "weak" team nonsense, ALL teams have their weaknesses from too many kids on a roster to undesirable coaches to ridiculous costs. It is what it is.

Forget Trump and Clinton for the fall of Western civilization, we need to focus on youth sports and it's not even the kids it's the parents. Again there are awesome teams out their but don't fault a 9 year old because of politics, because parents work and the travel team they have selected fits their needs but can give their child a little more than maybe a PAL team. PARENTS ruin sports, period. The only way your kid is talking like this is because they hear it from mom and dad.

STAY OUT OF IT. Let the coaches coach, let the kids play and if you're not happy look for another option. You add nothing to the team or the development of your child if all you do is BASH, BASH, BASH.

Chances are your child is going to be more than a professional lacrosse player and what will your response be, "NO WAY, we invested too much time and money into youth lacrosse for you to be a doctor, a fireman, a lawyer, etc."

Here is a suggestion (start bashing away) but I will provide anyway. Be a chauffer, be that ATM machine for when they need gear, be their fan, be their support, DON'T be their voice, they can handle it, trust me, but if they can't, that would be YOUR fault.

Back to the bracket issue. SO a new team goes to a tournament where they may not belong at the start, they get beat up, but I did not see one kid from that team with his head down crying, but I did see a lot of disappointed parents, WHY? ALL you did was drive them their so get over it. Hopefully it was a learning experience for the coaches who the parents pay to train their children. They make some adjustments, enter a tournament based on their ability as a new program (with NO CONTROL over who is in the bracket with them) beat some teams WIN, they wear their CHAMPIONSHIP shirts to school proud as can be and you MOCK them for it? Those boys earned those shirts, PERIOD. That is truly SAD and this is why parents have no place on the field.

When I start my travel program I guarantee the parents will not like it. The boys don't have to try out, the parents do!

PLEASE just stop.

Can't wait to see the masters degree rebuttals to this post but like everything else on this board, it's JUST AN OPINION, right?

Great post, everyone should *many won't* read this twice and take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself is that me? If yes make the proper adjustments and move forward.

Thank you. The level of insanity from these parents is insane. The kids forget their last game very quickly at this age, even after a tough loss. They generally don't care or know anything about other teams, other than they exist. Meanwhile you have the peanut gallery over here ranking 9 and 10 year old teams and their players. It's pathetic and frankly the fact that so many of you nut jobs are watching my son and his team this close is a little concerning.

Well written post. Fortunately the lunatics that come here won't understand it. Which is great, because I find their stupidity wildly entertaining.

Great post...The coach of the Longboards needs to take a long look..At the tournament last week you had kids coming from all different teams.
And in the Finals even more.And you still lost..Remember you have kids on the Longboards who are going to loose playing time so your TAZ kids can get another Tshirt. They lost 6 or 7 players last year because this was done repeatedly to them. Initially they did not mind because they won. But believe me those boys on the sidelines did not feel so good down the stretch.

It's amazing how many people can read a post like the one made above and not realize it's them the post is about. This guy is one of them.

Best post ever written on this site. i agree 100%.
my son does not play for one of the top clubs, but has played against them and it's true that the parents take the losses harder than the kids. these kids are out there hustling to the final whistle and improving. i used to get caught up and tried to coach from the side thinking i was helping. my kids hate it....ive become my sons amd daughters biggest cheerleader. i meet them back at the tent and nothing makes me happier than the smile on their face when i comoliment them on the tough ground ball they picked up or the pass they made. the kids notice the lunatics and will stop looking to play.

so to the original poster....i hope your kid is playing on my sons or daughters team.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of the negative posts on here are from the same handful of trouble makers for the past few years. Most Lax parents from A, B, C or whatever level are sane people that just want their kids to be happy. Good post though!

When I start my travel program I guarantee the parents will not like it. The boys don't have to try out, the parents do!
-- this is great -- i have seen kids in my older sons grade not make a team because of their parents reputation and behavior. --thank you for this post, it reminds that their is hope.

Sounds good to me, sign up my kid and put me on the rack!

Great post!!! 100% agree.
This should be seen by the other ages groups as well.

It is about time that someone pointed out (so eloquently) what many of us have been thinking. These kids work so darn hard, now just let them play their best and have fun. Stop pointing fingers at the "losers": They all worked their butts off in terrible weather last weekend....they all are winners for their efforts.

Out of state ?? By next year watch how many kids pass those " stud" as their daddies call them. The new flavor will come and see ya

Haha, did you just refer to this as "real life?" Whose, yours or your kids? I created that post for social awareness of a growing problem called "parents." So this is real life, B brackets are for losers and the other gem was the trophy's for everyone comment. If you knew me, I am The LAST person to be a fan of participation awards. My son and some of his friends work very hard to get better and that is important, not just showing up, so that's that.
The B bracket issue, well let's just say these were created by parents so that we wouldn't have to share a sideline with the the parents that refer to 9 years olds as losers. YOU'RE WELCOME!

They should be 10 by now and if they aren't in the top bracket, they should give back the shirt. It can be a teaching moment for all you parents with soft kids.

And I did not offer any thanks.

The initial thread was in response to an obnoxious comment regarding a 2025 team that was made on the 2024 thread. So your 2024 child may be 10 by now unless born in November or December but most 2025's should be born in 2007 and therefore would be 9 or soon turning 9.

Really nice thing to say a kids on the B team..... They are losers... guess what...you are the loser! And I bet you think your kid is the best player in the A team... he will probably quit playing lacrosse by 8th grade, or better yet, he will be on the B team and the kids you referred to a losers on the B team will have taken your precious sons spot on the A team.. then it will be ok to play on the B team, right?
You are nothing but a fool...get a life and let the kids just play.

Either you are first or you are not. Second place is the first loser!

You are an a$$...

Just face facts, it's a world of competition, everything is measured, even the number of calls you folks have to answer at the call center. Be the best or your job gets shipped to India. Or your kid gets sent to the B team, so teach your sons that they always need to bring their A game. I''ll repeat, you are either first or

LAST

And I'll repeat... you are an a$$.

Ok, just remember this when johnnie gets cut and you get laid off.

don't even respond to that loser. He probably dosent even have a kid that plays. Just some geek, with no friends or no girlfriend playing on the thread.

This loser pops on the thread once in awhile. A real d*ck. Just ignore him. Sounds like he got picked on in high school, so he takes it out on 10 year old boys. Ignore the little [lacrosse]

If you want to believe that, go ahead. You know the truth.

First or last. It's much more beautiful at the top and you know it.

Lol, jobs in India. I wonder if bill gates was an A larosse player. What's your point loser. Kids should watch tv or play xbox if they aren't on A teams. I was a B baseball player my whole life. Played baseball at a Division 3 school. I have a great paying job, a great family and a ton of friends. So I am at the top, loser, just listening to your ignorance, you are at the bottom. No scram.

DIII Baseball? Really, that is what you cling to and brag about at your "great paying job" and tell your "great family and a ton of friends" just before you post on here? That's really the funniest thing I've heard in a while. I hear the minimum wage is going up, so stand by.

I heard Express A isn't practicing again this year. Maybe kids will play for team 24 again this year?

Maybe they should all play for Mr. O again. The other guy is too busy apparently.

You should stay off this thread! Are you really that ignorant that you are belittling 10 yr old's that are developing, and a father that obviously is happy about that?? I was a div-1 wrestler in college, my job is pretty good where I don't have to pay too much attention to the min. wage. Most likely you or one of your family member's have worked for me the past. So be nice to my B team kid. I KNOW he is a good player and is having fun doing it.Also, you and your A team kid might end up working for him someday.

everyone should just ignore this total fool.. he is just looking to get people to come back at him because he doesn't have a life, and that is how he gets his thrill...

Only at the 2025 level

Usually the ones who one on here boasting about their fancy jobs etc. are the Pines blowing smoke. Just sayin.

Too bad we don't know who this guy is. Now that would be fun, to approach this little [lacrosse] on the sidline.

Did you forget to take your medication ?? Is that the problem??

Boasting on anonymous site, that makes a lot of sence. Its saying, not sayin.

So what will you do? Send your wife over to "approach" me? Just remind her to call me sir!

Lol, not only do you sound like a dic*k. You sound so dumb. like the other guy said, go take your medication. Goodnite [lacrosse].

See you on the sideline. Little man. Never mind, I don't watch the B games, they're not worth it. Better get your boy to work on throwing and catching.

Lol, you sound so dumb, you probably don't even have a kid. Find somewhere else to play loser. You should insult some of those kids in front of their dads. Oh that's rite you don't have the balls. Lol. Run and hide [lacrosse].

It's A Team or no Team, so you know where to find me. No need to insult the kids, their daddies already know their limitations unless they are delusional like you. Unfortunately for the everyone gets a trophy club, some kids just have it. Some just don't. I am thankful that mine do.
In the meantime you should consider diverting the $ to SAT Prep.

So let me know what sideline to come too??? WP or taz? based off of your quote they are the only true A-teams. Then we can discuss why I wrestled div-1 in college and why my b team boy needs to cram for his SAT's. Please man up A team guy.

It's probably not a parent. Just some spoiled little brat and his friends stirring the pot.

The fact that anyone thinks he is a WP or Taz parent that is writing these ridiculous things makes you an easy target for this fool. Ignore him and he will go away. Stop feeding into his BS and we all know his kid is a nobody. I know both the WP and Taz parents and when they read or hear that it is them writing it, it is laughable on the sidelines. And if you're reading this, man up and tell us what A team your kid plays on... because its neither of those 2.

Agreed, no way that's a parent. My guess 16 years old tops.

Seems to be this ridiculous posts in almost every year . The comments draw attention and keep us coming back to the site. Who would interest in that ?

I wrestled D-1, I played DIII Baseball, Oh Boy, the list of achievements from you B team daddies is just astounding. I'm so impressed with your athletic prowess. Do you still bore your family and co workers with the stories about how you finished tied for third in the regional qualifier? LMAO, what a bunch of losers.

Every post you write, your balls seem to get smaller and smaller. Lol.

To the moderator, post this fools IP address. I'll take it. From there.

Pack is playing at Mustang, I bet team's can still sign up.

There are a decent amount of age based tournaments, which is great. Just not one on Long Island. Maybe the Us Lacrosse will get it together & have an aged based tournament on the Island soon.

Thank you..Can't believe US lacrosse can not put at least one, on age tournament together on the Island.

It's impossible because all of the clubs are grade based. Get use to it. It's never going to change.

No travel clubs on Long Island are age based. Tough to find a team that doesnt have some holdbacks. Would be great but as this board has made it clear..... ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.....

The question is are all of the clubs grade based because all of the tournaments are grade-based? USL has the ability to dictate this if they wanted to, and one to do so would be to alter their insurance - if they decided to make insurance coverage contingent upon tournaments being age-based, the clubs would quickly fall in line, and things would change. This a chicken-egg/cart-horse debate.

agreed-the immediate response being so confrontational = probably a kid laughing behind his computer

"North Shore kids no doubt"-Really? Little judgmental. They don't have [lacrosse]**les on South Shore? That's funny

nice response. half kids won't like lacrosse let alone play by 8th grade. This parental "A" team stuff is hysterically STUPID

Great for your son and better for your story telling-now who really cares about your D-1 wrestling unless you are coaching their kid. Your kid must be under so much pressure. Poor little guy. Hope he lives up to your high standards. Will you beat him if he wants to quit the game by 8th grade

Thank you. Thank you for that extremely informative information. With that kind of pertinent information being posted, one could really learn something. Your parents must be very proud of you.
And yes, my kid sux, can't catch, he's on the B-team etc....

D1 wrestling is where its at.. we used to eat lacrosse players for lunch and pick our teeth with their sticks.

If you didn't go to a Big 10 or Big 12 school, you were a B team wrestler. Stop bragging about something that no one cares about even if it is true. And I'm not sure why you wanted a lax players stick in your mouth, but whatever floats your boat.

The only youth sport that has lost a higher percentage of participants in the last few years across the country more than football is wrestling. You obviously feel like you are a tough guy, but rolling around a mat with some dudes junk in your face does not make that so. Your sport will be close to extinct soon.

Hey Meathead. Keep your MRSA. This is actually a lacrosse board. You may want to check out Back of the Smelly Disease Laden Mat while Getting Your Nuts Grabbed board. Enjoy the sweaty balls.

Wow... so glad I don't live in Long Island. I googled some teams, as we have a tournament against them, and wanted to see how good they are and it directed me to this site.

I live in Western NY and yeah there is politics, but nothing like this. This past year was my son's first travel lacrosse experience and the Long Island Parents were the worst. We went to the Saratoga Shootout and beat the LI Experss in the championship game.

One of the LI Express kids got hurt and his mom tried to come on the field and ask if he was ok and the Coach said "Shut-up" get off the field... You guys are hard-core competitive.

The worst I have seen up here is the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Northeast are absolute frauds. They don't really care about Christian values and only care about the best players. I felt really bad for my son's friend who got looked over the following year. FCA claims they will take a "good" kid over a "good" lacrosse player any day, but they are lies. I thought that was bad, but all these posts on here make me realize I am way too invested in this to be researching other teams we are playing in Maryland this weekend.

I love watching my son play lacrosse. I love going out and throwing with him. I love being an assistant coach in his house team. I don't care at all if he plays lacrosse in college and would prefer he didn't. My son goes to Joe Walters boot camps and has fun. I researched afterward, then unless you are top of the game and training kids for money, or supplementing your income with you tube training you really are broke.

There is just isn't a huge payoff in lacrosse. Sense that is the case... lay off and have fun. Life goes by so quick, your son is going to resent you for not demonstrating behavior that is showing you care about others in the community. Anyway... shocked by these threads and so grateful there isn't one of these threads for us.

Get off your high horse. And stop making up things that make your story better, no Express coach said that to a parent. We might be nuts, but that did not happen.

And tell your son to have fun getting his teeth kicked in by the MD kids.

Weird you call out FCA but if your son played express at saratoga then you were on the fca team. Team is very weak and got man handled at nxt.

I was at that game and it did happen but you aren't telling the story properly. They played each other the day before (and Express won by a good amount of goals)and FCA was playing very dirty, started a fight, a FCA player gave an Express the finger. A 10 year old...Then for the championship game FCA brought players that were playing for the 2023 team. That coach and that parent have been friends for years. He knew if he didnt't tell her to be quiet with the way the game was going and FCA's parents cheering when a penalty was not called she would say something she would regret. Was it wrong, yes, but at least it didn't escalate. That coach knows his kids and parents. So if yelling Shut up controlled the situation, then so be it. I was shocked to hear FCA was. Christian organization.

No1 from 2023 played and no1 gave kid the finger. Yes, FCA 2024 does suck and got creamed at next. Enjoy your anon forum won't be responding again

So, you respond to a post and pretty much massacre the English language. Laughable.

100% incorrect!
I was there and saw the kid give the finger and was disgusted and I also watched a group of kids go from the 2024 championship game and then play for the 2023 team afterwards. Maybe they were playing up for 2023 but they were the primary players for the 2024 championship game and they were not there the day before. The day before they had maybe 2 kids on the bench. The championship game they had a full bench. I read posts on here and don't always believe it but this I witnessed. Not a team I would ever want my son playing on. I was very happy with who my son played for after watching that.

Guess I will respond. Well let me apologies on the behalf of the team then. We did not know he gave a player the finger and believe that must of happened by your response. Had the coach known he would of disciplined the child.

That said there was no 2023 kids who played up and the pinnies are reversible. Where there could be some confusion is that Adirondack FCA was playing in their first tournament and didn't have enough kids to play ( I think).

Sorry about a kid giving the finger.... think I know which kid would do that and will try and find out.

Sorry for my rant post yesterday also. I don't know why I posted because I knew it wouldn't do any good. I just want to let you guys know that in the Albany Tournament, Saratoga Shoot-out, the NXT Cup, etc... The Long Island teams typically had the loudest and most intense parents. You guys are way more intense than us. However, after you beat the FCA team on day one, the kids were ready for a battle and the parents pumped them up for it, so could see how intense it felt.

FCA scored like 3 goals the entire nxt cump tournament and got creamed by Long Island teams for sure. I guess we would be considered a B team on your level. That's ok with me. I might be more upset if there was anything other than a partial scholarship at the end of this rainbow.

SAT's matter way more to get into college than all of this is what I have learned with research.

Now you might respond of course that is your response if you son is on a B team or whatever, but honestly that isn't why. As a parent, I have no desire to see him win the lacrosse championship because there is no money for him to provide for his family one day. Now because that is his desire I will support him every step of the way, get him the best training, etc... But lacrosse will always be secondary to grades and will always be secondary to being a good person.

I will try and not respond again, and oh sorry for the bad English language above, was responding from my phone.

This is fun and a great way to not work! Have a great day everyone and just know that the culture of Long Island lacrosse isn't that way everywhere else. Think about how quickly your life has gone so far and what do you really want your kids to learn and remember about you as a parent and a mentor.

Sincerely,

Upstate NY - B Teams, and proud of it.

100% incorrect!
I was there and saw the kid give the finger and was disgusted and I also watched a group of kids go from the 2024 championship game and then play for the 2023 team afterwards. Maybe they were playing up for 2023 but they were the primary players for the 2024 championship game and they were not there the day before. The day before they had maybe 2 kids on the bench. The championship game they had a full bench. I read posts on here and don't always believe it but this I witnessed. Not a team I would ever want my son playing on. I was very happy with who my son played for after watching that.

This is like arguing about which 2 weak kids on the playground can win in a fight. Does it really matter who won? Or what happened? Go have a catch with your sons and stop wasting time.

Why would you say that. It's not like he can throw with his son during school. He is prob getting paid while typing all this.

Anyone know how Madlax and BLC are doing in the fall tourneys? Do those 2 teams look good so far this year?

I am told that Madlax 2024 is even better than last year. Apparently they have swept ever game this Fall. Most of them by 10+ goals. They beat 9d1MD pretty solidly this weekend. Don't know about Bethesda. But I expect they will be strong again this year too.

What were madlax scores from this past weekend

They beat Crabs 18-0, however it was the very first game that the Crabs team had played together. They beat FCA by a lot also. Their game against 91MD was more competitive, but I think they still won by 5 or 6 pts.

They beat Maryland 9/1 10-7, great game. The giant 13 year old face off middie must've have had 5 goals. Without him, they lose that game.

They got taken to the cleaners by the WP a couple of months back. One game by 10 goals. They better hope they got better.

There is no need to be snarky. Madlax beat MD 9-1 not WP this weekend. Also by your comments Igloo beat WP last couple times they played and Madlax has never lost to Igloo. So both WP and Igloo better hope they got better as well. These are 10/11 year olds. Let's just support all the teams and let them have fun! Win or Lose!

Let's not forget that Madlax also beat WP on 6/8 in DC and Legacy Taz twice in LI Lax Fest on 6/19.

I agree. This forum is a great venue to discuss youth lax and how's its growing. It's an awesome forum to talk about how our different programs are doing. But when we start taking jabs at teams/coaches/parents its gone too far. These kids are kids and I doubt very many of them even know that this website exists or that grown men/women are commenting on how they play the game; which is quite disturbing when you think about it. And the "giant 13 year old" mentioned by the previous poster is actually a giant 11 year old playing among his peers.

[/quote]Igloo beat WP??? Ha! NEVER![/quote]

Igloo can't beat WP but, Taz sure does everytime!

12 AT THE END OF NOV???

Sorry... Madlax has never lost to Taz not Igloo and WP has lost to Taz last couple times they played. Hopefully these teams will play great games against each other this summer including BLC, Brotherly Love, and other elite teams.

Maybe time to get over it and move on

Reality is outlaws, express, igloo, longboards, high voltage, TLI, ESM are all pretty close. What's wrong with that?

So his beef is not with O'Reilly. It's one of the 2 players that have moved up. Maybe it's jealously? Get over it!

Nothing is wrong with that except you are comparing 3 travel A teams to town teams and calling them equal.

the fact that Express B beat ESM at Havoc would knock them off the list.

So? What is your point? Good for the town teams to have that much talent and commitment.

My point was that you have Taz and pack. And then you have this group and it's ok to be in this group. The games are always close and competitive which is good for the boys.

EMS/Long boards and High Voltage are not town teams they all have a mix of WP and Taz kids with some town kids mixed in.

Close, but wrong. Longboards and high voltage are not town teams and I don't ever remember anyone making that claim. They have kids from all over. ESM is a true town team. They just happen to have a bunch talented kids that play of some of the top travel teams. No different than BBP and Commack.

Express OReilly beat ESM 2weeks ago. RVC beat ESM last year...don't categorize a town team with a club teams....Also Long boards is a pick up team for TAZ kidz. And high voltage is the WP pick up team..o need for them to be in the discussion.

Sure there is a difference. BBp beats ESM all the time as they do everyone else including Comack and the rest of them RVC and high voltage.

Why do you care? worry about your own team

I agree. Outlaws select parent here. Trying to stomach some of these nonsense posts. Obviously Taz and WP are untouchable but the Outlaw/Igloo match-up is great lacrosse to wacth. Evenly matched teams. Players and Parents all polite on both sides. No [lacrosse] on the sidelines during the game. It was a pleasure to watch. Was hoping to see them this Friday. BTW I will take average to watch my 10 year old enjoy other sports.

Yeah, TAZ brings in a kid from CT.

These days most of these Town teams are travel teams in the world of Tournament play. Our town is trying to do it but the talent and commitment just isn't there to compete on that level. When "most" people hear Town team they think PAL and they just should not. Yes there are some PAL teams that play as Travel team but they are few. Most of those kids have commitments to other travel teams. I don't condone comparing teams at any level at this age. It's just silly. But you can't really separate a town team and a travel team for the most part.

What tournament is this Friday?

"Sit on it " Potsie

You're missing the point Einstein. The point was that ESM, BBP and Commack are town teams, not which one is better than the other. Understand now dope?

Guess I will respond. Well let me apologies on the behalf of the team then. We did not know he gave a player the finger and believe that must of happened by your response. Had the coach known he would of disciplined the child.

That said there was no 2023 kids who played up and the pinnies are reversible. Where there could be some confusion is that Adirondack FCA was playing in their first tournament and didn't have enough kids to play ( I think).

Sorry about a kid giving the finger.... think I know which kid would do that and will try and find out.

Sorry for my rant post yesterday also. I don't know why I posted because I knew it wouldn't do any good. I just want to let you guys know that in the Albany Tournament, Saratoga Shoot-out, the NXT Cup, etc... The Long Island teams typically had the loudest and most intense parents. You guys are way more intense than us. However, after you beat the FCA team on day one, the kids were ready for a battle and the parents pumped them up for it, so could see how intense it felt.

FCA scored like 3 goals the entire nxt cump tournament and got creamed by Long Island teams for sure. I guess we would be considered a B team on your level. That's ok with me. I might be more upset if there was anything other than a partial scholarship at the end of this rainbow.

SAT's matter way more to get into college than all of this is what I have learned with research.

Now you might respond of course that is your response if you son is on a B team or whatever, but honestly that isn't why. As a parent, I have no desire to see him win the lacrosse championship because there is no money for him to provide for his family one day.

Great Post sir and so true on many levels. I would have to agree that the Long guy land folks are a little nutso but for the most part are very nice, at least the ones I have met.
Grades 1st, L-cross 2nd! God bless

Thank You!!!

I love the assumption that crazy lacrosse parents couldn't not possibly be interested in their child's academic success.

This is a completely false assumption. If you think we're crazy about lacrosse, you should see us when it comes to school work. In our house, if you don't get good grades, you don't eat.

Tough guy from RVC aka Garden City B Team, I'll meet you any time, I'm sporting a red carnation.

Absolutely the way it should be! If it's not and your child is having problems getting good grades, take the lax money and spend it on a tutor!

BBP and Commack are as good as they come.. and I'm not a resident of either of those towns. BBP has a bunch of solid WP boys and Commack has 2 WP boys that are as strong as it gets at there positions. They also have a middy that plays for the Outlaws I think who is real good also. We are 0-6 against these teams over the last 3 years and as much as it kills me to say that about them its the truth. We have a solid team as do other towns but not like those two.

High Voltage (Setauket Three village town) beat both of the teams quite easily.

they sure did... wasn't really a competition

Its not a town team or a 3V team. 3 or 4 different towns on that team with special guests every tournament. I have seen Smithtown kids, Mt Sinai kids, and Commack kids on that field. Stop your BS.

nothing wrong with that Mr D-

Sachem East beat Empire at Mustang and had it not been for some questionable calls could have beaten Long Island Sharks who had kids from all over the island. Great hustle boys and great job Coach #proud

Great job but that Sharks team was basically made up of Huntington/Harbkrfields kids that practiced 3X before the tournament

Sachem East beat Empire White lost to Empire Green 9-4.

Sachem East lost to the Empire A team (Green), beat the new Empire B team (White). Nothing wrong with being proud of your kid's team's performance but if you're going to brag at least brag with the right set of facts

And the bracket was won by a Greenwich team that had 0 kids on the bench. That's right 0 kids on the bench. How didn't they run them into the ground? And the answer is: These teams were terrible and they don't even come up to average on a good day.

Beeee TEEEAMS! Still not ready? The really good teams are waiting for you.

That Greenwich 5th grade team had "kids" driving themselves to the field. Embarrassment of a program

Knowing Greenwich they were 2023 kids playing. It there but they did that at the pumpkin shootout. The difference is better travel teams beat them.

Do people still need to have 2023 kids playing in a 2024 bracket? Does your team suck that badly?

Are you new to travel lacrosse? This trend only gets worse up through 9th grade when you get to single and double holdbacks, so that having older boys play down at 2024 and below is not shocking.

One Empire team is Suffolk. One is Nassau. Which one is which?

So WE all Know that WP and TAZ are the two top teams... (for Now) going into the spring season. Express A just beat Outlaws soundly on Friday. So I would say they are the 3rd team.But who falls in order beneath them? I would Go with Express O'Reilly then Outlaws then Igloo.

It's FALL BALL! Who cares?! At least wait until spring before you start rating.

Very rarely is a team at full strength in the fall or ready for "prime time rankings" as you love to do.

And even then, your rankings won't matter.... or make you any less of a tool.
Just let the kids have fun playing, why do you need to ruin it?

Do we have to hear from the Express O'Reilly lovers again? Please spare us RVC mommies.

Express is a below average team with a roster that has the ability to completely dominate face offs. Without that they couldn't compete. Really impressive and no one else comes close.

Looneys 2024 out of MD also beat Brotherly Love and finished second to last in HoCo Maryland Spring league. Madlax beat MD 9/1 in championship, then Bethesda, Annapolis, Hawks, Looneys and Diamondbacks.

It's FALL! Quoting these games are silly. May of these games are missing key players due to football or soccer.

Pretty big Invitation tournament going down in MD this weekend. Most of these top teams will be there. Lets see where they stand

Honestly someone on LI need to set up a travel lacrosse league in the spring that plays Friday nights or Sat. This will help the LI team keep up with the above teams. DTL/Blatant/igloo/ this would help all LI teams have an A/B/C brackets so all can play including town teams if they want.

So in the real world, that probably translates to 5'8" 165lbs in a $87K ranch in Ridge.

I'm 5"10, 195 pounds. My house is around 600 grand. But I got 10 inches where it counts.

Express played BBL there 1st game ever and after after only 2 practices. and it was close! Will be a different outcome in the Spring. FYI I know it is the norm to holdback in lax, But the BBL team were older, they were all at least 12 yrs old. and were huge. Just saying.

What do you think, that BBL had more than 2-3 practices? And don't complain about holdbacks with you 12 year old football kids.

Suffolk are the worst.... their kids all play down is the secret sauce... lol... inbred

I guess the meth business is good. Also the zillow estimates are typically over inflated.

That it is, thanks to your MOM who is a steady customer!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! Ha! Yes! And she talks like this ( you can't see but I'm pretending to be her and talk like I have no teeth) I win, bye bye!

Under an aged based system, you would be permitted to have your son play up if you wished him to play against older boys who you believe will be his opponents on JV and Varsity. It would be your choice. But if you were like the majority of parents, and thought it best that he play against kids his same age only, than you would be able to ensure that that happens. As it is now, parents have no choice. Their kids are forced to play against older kids whether they like it or not. And what makes it worse is there is a randomness to it. You never know the amount of older kids the opposition has until you get to the field.

And as someone else has said, age difference is diminished greatly once puberty starts to kick in. In most sports, including lacrosse, a freshman can play well against seniors. But a 9 year old against 12 year olds - good luck. Once the kids are 15 or so, age differences become far less determinative. But 14 or below, more or less, older kids have a huge innate advantage. Such advantage should not be forced on a kid

If you're from Suffolk, you don't need to pretend. Nice try though

Your gripe has been heard all too often. Travel lax in the Northeast is just a free for all. If you don't like it Change it. Or don't play.

It is what it is. I think it would be great to have the older boys have to ADMIT to playing down. If they choose to beat up on little boys so be it.. but lets let the bullys be known.

It's actually worse in the mid-Atlantic, but yes.

I don't mind the older kids so long as they're on grade. I do, however, hate seeing "different" kids change jerseys for the Championship game. That shouldn't happen...

If that ever happened on my sons team, I would pull him from that club in a second.
That's the only way you stop this from going on. Coach won't be able to pull that low lift BS if he can't field a roster to start out with.

that's exactly what happened last yr. about 8 kids on last years team had enough, so went over to Empire..But you will always find that Taz parent that feels it ok to put on the Longboard uniform when in need.

Giving his address would require cajones!

The LB coach has Napoleon complex.
The only way his mighty might twins can stay competitive as they are getting sized out right before his eyes , is to have a stable of larger athletes doing the work.
Win at any cost ,even if it is labeled a "town team"

Agree about the coach but they do enter Tourneys as a Travel Team

I am Elmer J. Fudd, Millionaire, I own a mansion and a yacht.

But we all agree suffolk is the phucking worst - right?

Express is Below average???Who are you rating them against? They are easy the 3rd best team on LI.They are a brand new team that will gel as season goes along.They are alot more then faceoffs.

It just feels brand new because schwajle never there. They are in the pack with the rest of the teams who get beat 12-2 by Taz.

Solid talent no doubt but lets not anoint them as #1 of the non AA teams before as you say...They have time to gel.

I mean they only beat Longboards and Scrambles Eggs by a goal each at Havoc.

Check scores again Tazzie..And don't count the final where scramble taz came over to join boards in there defeat..

Facts are facts = 7-4 and 7-6
Tie 6-6 vs an average Tri State
And a one goal game vs the Eggs
Taz 10 Express 1 on Columbus Day

If Express was so good they would be playing in MD this weekend, not some lame tourney in Farmingdale

My kid didn't make the cut on Taz so I might be a tad bias, but Ive watched them play each other twice and the WP seems a much more powerful team skill wise than the Taz. Somehow the Taz got by with 1 goal every game. If the WP made some adjustments this year it could be very different. If not it should be a toss up once again.

WP all the way baby! Owwwwwwwww Owww Oww Ow!

2 good teams for sure, wouldn't you think both teams would be making adjustments to improve.

Why would you make adjustments when you're the best two teams in the World?!? Nothing else matters & all other teams out there should just stop playing lacrosse.

To all of you creepy loser mom, dads, pee on assistant coaches etc who come on here and bash children, other parents, teams and coaches you should think real hard before hitting that button on what kind of person you really are and what consequences there could be as a result of your words. Proceed with caution because karma outside your cute little lax bubble can be tough. You might think it�s no big deal when your hammering away at that keyboard but boy oh boy you should. It�s a small world and you just never know. It's crazy that some of these weirdos are around kids as much as they are. The scumbags know who they are.

Trust me the Outlaws and Igloo will figure out a way to beat your face off kid and once that happens you will not beat either Express has the one of the best faceoff kid in 2024 and that is it.

Keenan is paid to win. He also has a personal brand which only grows as they win. The WP guy has personal conflicts which impacts their success. That is the difference between these two very talented teams.

How'd Bethesda and team 91 MD look?

6-5 and no

TAZ tops as a team and based on conducting themselves in a positive manner. Parents and players included. TAZ class acts can't say the same for WP

they are in their head now. all these 1 goal losses can start to demoralize a team.

d pole parents are trash

WP and Taz dominated Maryland Team. Nice job LI. Way to represent!!

As a Maryland parent the way the Taz parents conduct themselves is embarrassing to even LI

Isn't Keenen a owner?

Lets get into it. First I am a parent of another team that played both these teams today. Second I don't care about either team or for LI lacrosse for that matter. Third if you are talking about this game then you better know what your talking about. After reading for months on here the madness I had to see it for myself. Todays game ended with Legacy winning on some ridiculous bad bounce goal that gave them a 1 goal win. Wasn't the winning goal but turned out to be the difference. That's not the point, the difference between the 2 teams is easy to spot. The Taz runs more of an open set offense. This allows there better players to facilitate plays on their own. Dodging, cutting creating opportunities. One on Ones so an individual player can create something. The WP runs play after play. Every time they had the ball a play was called. The Taz started picking up on this and adjusted. The 91 team did not give there better players a chance to create something. Every time they could have went one on one and cleared out for something to happen they called a play. Sometimes coaches at this age need to let the boys play lacrosse and drop the play calling for a while. These boys will lose the love for the game if they are never allowed to shine on their own. On the Taz end their boys play off getting hurt a lot, I'm not saying you don't get hurt I get it I have 4 boys that played football and lacrosse but these boys went down a lot only to pop back up after killing some time. I saw it 2 or 3 times during our game. One boy went down and thankfully he got back up I never want to see any young athlete get hurt. This is my opinion and no one has to agree and I will not be given my 2 cents ever again, but after all the talking on here both teams are highly talented and very impressive. Coaches are as good as I ever been around. My background played in mid 80s so I know a little about the sport and currently have a son gunning for a spot on a local college team here. Not a pro at the sport but know enough to understand what I see. Good luck to all and it was a great day even if we didn't walk away fully successful.

Great post. I've watched them play other teams in Long Island but haven't seen these 2 play since last summer. You are right on with Taz and how they play! Same thing I've seen. How were the games against MD teams? Was it at least good competitive games? Yes Taz won by one goal but that's great competition. Will only make each team keep working harder. You can call that a loss for WP but as a parent by the sounds of it with a few adjustments things can change. Thanks for the recap.

Keenan plays the best kids more often, Aiello plays his favorite kids most.
Otherwise the 2 teams are very evenly matched.
In my opinion WP would be better with a different coach, who son isn't a player on the team

JA plays everyone, that's the difference between the 2 teams and also why it comes down to 1 goal 5x in a row.

Keenan is an owner

Enough with the excuses. TAZ beat WP five times in a row. They are the better team. Much happier with overall experience and coaching as well.

I understand the thoughts against "dad" coaches, if the dad is not qualified for the job. If the father has the needed experience and qualifications, then fine.

One brighter note, and should be first and foremost.
the Long Island teams went undefeated against MD, and it was a good competetive day of lacrosse

Is that why kids just quit? To much playing time

This is spot on. When the WP played open set they were very hard to beat

Exactly. That is how it should be but instead of CONGRATULATING both 10 YEAR OLD LONG ISLAND TEAMS who most of the boys either go to school together or are friends with each other as well as the parents, you will have fake propaganda like posts by lunatics who have so much hate its alarming. disgusting. Is this all that you have in your life? Go hug your kid and move on.

This is spot on. When the WP played open set they were very hard to beat

This is spot on, if the guy new what he was talking about. Taz runs a 1-3-2 motion. Never runs an open set. Go back to Lacrosse School. You need extra help!!

Kavenaugh 5'7", Sankey 5'5", Baptiste 5'9", Wolfe 5'9", Plenty more. The all the rosters have a bunch of kids 5'9" or under, some are major contributors. They also have kids over 6'2" that don't do crap. Pannell is 5'10"

Sport is changing. Just look at last year's Tewaaraton finalists. Still had Cannizzaro (5-9, 175), but the other four were Jones (6-5, 240), Landis (6-2, 195), Molloy (6-0, 220), and Reeves (6-2, 205).

How pathetic is the TAZ dad posting videos of his son with him screaming like a crazy also pretty sad how they need to get a kid from Connecticut. He is the perfect fit for the TAZ parents NUTS!

Very true, kids are bigger and stronger, but also much faster. 6'1 , 220 pounds is great, but if that kid (high school/college) dosent have speed, it is real hard to compete at a high level.

The Average height and weight of the top 5 MLL scoring leaders all season was 5 '10 and 200'pounds. Only Tom Schreiber was over 6 ft. Rice, Pannell, Holmann and Wolfe were the others.

Taz and WP have great coaching. Taz kids have the edge because of they have their own training center and those kids are working.

Dukes can get kids from all over east coast and they are not as good as Taz nor is the coaching anywhere near what Keenan is. Will be more people traveling to play for him in the future

you can work harder and increase your speed. You can't do anything about how tall you are.

Voice of reason...well done

You can work on speed and that will help, no doubt about it. It won't make a slow kid fast, a little less slow yes. The best players are the quickest and fastest players. Stick skills can be practiced, but at the end of the day a fast kid with a great stick will always beat out a big slower kid with a great stick. I took my son to high school, college and MLL games last year. I'm just shocked how fast these kids were.

And let me guess you are 5ft 8in and your son is tiny and fast? Fast is definitely key but I don't care how fast you are it is definitely harder to get past the big boys who are still fast but maybe not speedy. If you are small and not strong you can't get past them. You need both. And YES you can work on speed!!!!

or apparently how stupid your are

Anyone know of a good winter box program?

Are back to the size debate here again? Why is it that this age group is so hung up on size or the lack thereof? Physics don't lie but I swear some mommies on here will try to convince you that smaller somehow better. Just admit that bigger is always better in a contact sport and move on.

Love when people jump on BOTC to call out some moron for being dumb but don't even take the 2 seconds to double check what they type for spelling errors.

Can you make your point again?

WHAT is actually better..... IS Winning scoring defending...If you can excel at your position, it won't matter how short,tall,fast or slow you are.

That's not it. Your way off.

Every Express kid in the northeast will show up today. To bad Channy couldn't find some other teams for his squads to play. Sad excuse for a tourney when the host makes up 60% of the teams playing. Express vs Express everywhere today.

That was O'Reilly team that lost to the Geese 5-4. Coach briugjr C team kids to play but than decided he wound rather coach his 2025's instead and misses the 2024 games. The big fella is spread way too thin

I'm an Outlaw parent? I've watched lacroose all fall. Each of these clubs have a handful of special players and then some good players. Express had 2 good middies and the best face off kid at 2024. Wolfpack has incredible depth, solid goalie and a few special middies and attack. Not really sure what special players Taz has? Maybe it's just the coaching and a group of players that practice enough to win and be successful. Would any Taz kids stand out in another program?

Express is weak at middie beyond fogo. Attack strong as are a couple d poles.

TAZ has the best overall attack in the age group. Probably the best defense as well. Also a couple great mids

My son is not a middie but our middie's are our strong area.

Either way you lost to a 4th grade team. Lmao

There is nothing special about that kid at all. All marketing by a parent, nothing more.

True, I hear gatorade is looking to sign long island youth players to its new ad campaign. So therefore it is worth it for 10 year old kids to travel out of state ,not play sports with their friends , and to have a crazy schedule and to do homework in the car, sitting in tri state area traffic, or taking ferries. Because maybe just maybe that kid can be on the next gatorade commercial. Definately worth it.

He's the best player on their team...would say there is something special there.

If the TAZ has all average players and they are beating most all clubs soundly and repeatedly, what level players are on those teams?

Who needs facts this is America and facts have taken a backseat to because we say so. Needless to say I have seen this kid do some amazing things on the field bringing in to question my eyesight which was recently checked which has brought me to the conclusion I am watching someone special someone I one day will say to a group of guys in a crowded bar I saw that guy play when he was only 10 maybe 13 and I knew he was something special then only to be told if you say so have another beer words taking a backseat to my lying eyes. Fact is it's not the first time exceptional ablility seen in a kid has been questioned and won't be the last time... I'm just glad I might have the opportunity to say "I remember when " happy holidays

WP will beat TAZ in the next match up, and we have something special for the Big Kid from CT and it includes a trip to you know where. Mark my words. He has no place here.

Stupidity at its finest...
This is youth lacrosse we're talking about last time I checked.

I am marking your words this is a team sport and you seem to feel stopping the big kid from ct will win you the game sound like you see something special also just saying may the best team win

A Trip to you know where ..... he has no place here ...

Stick check!!!!!!

Just to set the record straight the kid is NOT a hold back. He is not 13. Lol. Where do you even get this from? Bottom line is that he is a GREAT player. He plays on Legacy because his uncle is friend with the coach and it was a family decision to be taught by one of the best youth coaches in travel lacrosse. It was his uncle from Suffolk County that helped his nephew find a coach to train a KID who's skill level warrented an Elite coach.

Nothing wrong with that but all I see are people trying to trash a guy that is committed to playing the game the right way and having his kid learn from a great coach. Nothing mentioned that he is respectful kid that does great in school, in addition to being a good all around KID. But all we see is guys saying he has no place here. OH YES HE DOES.

You all should ashamed of yourselves even trying to talk about the kid or the parents. Seriously. Imagine that was your kid. How would you feel? A little food for thought.

He did get caught thumbing the ball. Was doing it all game and finally the ref made the call

Thumbing the ball? The kid is just better than everyone at his age. Some idiot ref was listening to a coach because his kids were getting so outplayed he said he was cheating.

That's why he is so good. He is 10 yr old professional who has mastered thumbing the ball everytime he scores. LOL. You sound ridiculous. Kid scores 4-5 goals a game not to mention he is usually equal in assists but he thumbs the ball on those too!

But the ref called him! Seriously, this needs to stop. He is the best player at his position. Give up haters.

Wp has not beaten TAZ since 3 rd grade. Stop the boy from Ct is an excellent player but TAZ has beaten them 6 times. Enough. TAZ is tops and they have 5 kids that are best on LI including one from CT. FACT

He is no doubt Taz's best player but he was cheating all game. Wouldn't think someone that good would need to do that.

Why does he play with a fiddlestick?

He's the 2nd best player on Taz behind the big goalie. He's the real hero!

someone asked if Taz had special players?I thought the kid from Ct was special. He palayed great, and had a great shot.All positive.. But your lying to yourself if you think he is only 10yrs old.and not a hold back.

You obviously missed some key players. The big lefty attackman on Express is there best player... hands down!That being said they have some really good players. They are coming along.the Taz game was tight at half.

I know a kid will be coming in from Philly for tournaments in the Spring/Summer. You haven't seen big until you see this kid. He's really BIG.

yeah... also close at the start of the game when it was 0-0

Hysterical. Karma at work. I can't tell you how many times I have heard Taz parents accusing other teams of having older kids. Now you know how it feels. I couldn't agree more that parents should be ashamed of pointing fingers at someone else's kid. It is usually jealousy or a sore loser.

best part of this thread is that it is likely another taz parent making the negative comments.

Tell you what I would love to have him on our team as one of our goalies. He played us this past tournament, and last travel season a few times when we played wp and was lights out. In my opinion he was the better of both goalies. Not saying the other goalie wasn't good.
So backup? I dont think so. Very solid.

Agreed. Whether this is legit or someone trying to paint WP in a bad light, it's disturbing. What kind of low life publicly threatens a kid?

First, clearly this is someone desperately needing to stir the pot. The WP parents know that they lost to TAZ 5 times and wouldn't make statements like "we will beat them the next time." Stop starting crap and let it go.

Second, the kid from Connecticut IS a holdback. Denying that is pathetic. However, he IS in 5th grade, making him a 2024 graduate. NOT CHEATING! Get over it and let it go.

Third, the goalie leaving WP because he "wanted to be a winner" is such a poor reflection of his parents. I hope this is not the reason behind his leaving that team. Because that is just sad.

Last, both teams are built on amazing young boys who love to play lacrosse. I truly believe it is parents of neither team that make the comments on this forum about the teams. Please people, let the boys continue to love lactose and LET IT GO!!!!!

So your saying the 10 yr kid from ct on taz is not a special player hmm wonder what the kids would say overall the program is developing some solid players and standouts all the best to the coaches and the dedicated parents let's enjoy

Dream bud light commercial tinder swiping dudes 10 years from now You sound like an old boyscout leader hope your registered

The Big Kid from CT is 10 years old and will be 11 years old next year in 2017, and yes he is also a TRUE 5th Grader/ 2024 as well. NOT a Hold Back. Come on now he just a 10 year old kid who loves Lacrosse. Why don't you cut him some slack? What if it were your son?

Kid from Ct is older Fact, in fact he would be a very old 6th grader! Father is a maniac screaming all game. Sad that Leg a sea can't develop has to have a kid from CT. So much for importance of practice.

I highly doubt that the goalies parents would have him leave a dominant WP team that had some 1 goal losses because he wanted to be a winner maybe there is another reason? It is wrong that people think its ok to post and point out certain kids on this anonymous website. Don't you feel like a piece of [lacrosse], don't you people have jobs? I wonder what your bosses would think or better yet tax payers if it applies to you.

It was a really close game at half..6-5? is not close?and ref. missed a goal by express lefty attack-man. fun game to watch..back and forth..Remember when Taz could not beat Pack??? Spring should be fun.

Your Facts are WRONG. What 10 yr old is in 6th grade? You my friend are the problem with this forum. speaking like you actually know something. I know the kid very well and its simply incorrect. Get your facts right before you state fact.

don't forget the part where Taz then doubled their score and then some as well as the dozen or so shots that missed the cage.
Express maybe had 3 shots on goal the second half..

Please pick up a book. Punctuation is imperative.

So the 5th grade game wasn't even close....the 5th grade kids...12 year olds, that game, the kids who still believed in the Easter Bunny a few years ago, their game wasn't even close? You are a loser

So many things wrong with lacrosse brought up one statement:
- 5th grade kids should not be 12 years old. If yours is, don't worry about his lacrosse play. Get the boy at tutor!
- Parents citing old scores of games as 'not even close'. Stop keeping track. Chances are your son hasn't brought the game up since he got over it 4 minutes after the game ended. Did your boy have fun? That is all that matters! Nobody is being recruited in 5th grade....don't make it more stressful on your son
- The backhanded slap of how the kid still believes in the Easter Bunny. If not an imaginary holiday character, the poster will generally inquire if the child can tie their shoes yet.
- And the classy conclusion.....calling an anonymous poster 'loser'. You really got him good!!!

You actually couldn't be more wrong! Express had a good 6 shots IN A ROW in the 2nd 1/2 that either hit the pipe or the Taz goalie had an awesome save. Was Taz better, yes. But Express has a shot if they keep working together and iron out their kinks for the spring. Express is more than 1/2 new kids. Most of Taz has been playing together. Should be some good competition come the spring.

Maybe you missed the point, they are kids, what is the big deal, they aren't playing for anything at this point. Look at all these posts, which 5th grade team beat who. But hey, keep up the good work................loser!

GREAT post

Agreed Disgusting comment!!!

so you can't beat them, you'll hurt them??? They're 10

Hope wp kid gets thrown out of the game again

Play the ball not the players

Wasn't the score 12 5 TAZ? Didn't TAZ start there 3 rd line? Didn't express play there 1st line 75 percent of game? Express is a good team but please stop

Not "painting in bad light" they laid a TAZ player out in MD Disgusting!!!

I bet most of the posts on here aren't even from Taz, Pack or Express A parents. Definitely pot stirrers.

Obviously you are paying attention or you would not know what town he is from...Thanks for proving my point..Kids good..Again not an rvc mommy

Ok RVC mommy, you aren't an RVC mommy.... wink, wink. Just please don't hit us with the "OReilly is working them hard and they aren't a B team" garbage!

Now you are mixing B team with A team. This was talking about an attackman on A. O'Reilly is B. You just can't stay away from bashing O'Reilly. It is actually very funny.

This is not a WP parent...come on now people...

The Express posts seem pretty true. Don't bunch them in with the better teams just yet.
As of now they are still battling for a top three spot with the other "A" teams.
AKA, "the best of the rest"

It's not me bashing, it is you RVC mommies overselling, the poor guy has to deal with YOU!

The outlaws have a 2024 team? From what I understand they are two B teams because the coach of gold/black keeps all his town kids on the B team even if they are A players. Makes no sense.

players to commit. and the coach is nuts

If the kids want to stay with their town coach then not sure what the big deal is. They're 10!

I agree why can't they stay on that team and build a successful team as they grow. Not every kid should or want to play on a A team and get 2 minutes of playing time per game or just maybe they want to play with their friends.

Town coach should build a town travel program instead of making his parents pay the outlaws $2500 to get the same coaching . And kids can get a lot better sitting on the A bench practicing 2/3 times a week then playing 20 minutes for the B team that gets together once a week weather permitting

Town travel comes with too many in house favors and not a true travel team, its more like any boardmembers kid plus, the better players, it discourages the better kids from staying with it. They don't really take all the best players, its usually coaches kids, board members kids, favors and a few players that carry the team.
That's why most leave for travel teams

Then find a real travel team not one that relies on town teams to make the core of their teams . Don't you think the town coach made a ton of promises to get those parents to pay $2500 and more to follow him to a travel team

I imagine that parents can make their own decisions about whether or not to join this specific team. If this guy has a following of kids who want to play under him at that price point then he must be doing something right

I think most of them came to be on the only "A" team they could make it on,has nothing to do with following. That is why all the better players went elsewhere

I agree. The coaches must be doing something right if he has a following. Sitting on a bench is better than touches on the ball and playing time? Did I read that right? Nothing beats playing time, game time touches on the ball, and a great coaching staff. Clearly, that team has both. They are well coached and are a very competitive team. We have played them several times.

$2500 to play for the Outlaws B team coached by your town team PAL coach is down right stupid. A "following"? what is he a bartender or a hair dresser lol. That team does not have any travel A players or they would be on the other team I can assure you of that

Look I have no dog in this fight, but I'll reply anyway since you were replying to what I wrote. I'll repeat, parents can make their own decisions about whether or not to join this specific team. You can think it's stupid, but it's parents doing what is best for THEIR kids. Not sure why this triggers you so much. And yes, parents "following" a coach from one organization to another, would be "a following". Get it?

Daddy coaches have always ruined town teams. Always have always will. The problem is their kid is usually no where near as good as they think they are and that causes problems with everyone around them. Sad but true.

AMEN!!

Lol dad coaches ruined PAL you said. I got 2 ideas for you. Instead of complaining on BOTC, do something. A, become a coach yourself, volunteer your time after a long day of work, taking train home or driving home in traffic to coach 15, 20 kids .Or B, hire a coach. Pay a good coach probably 6, 7 thousand of your money. A non dad isnt coming for free. Do one of those 2 things. Don't be that annoying dad on the sidleines that just complains and complains. Make this PAL season better and do 1 of those 2 things.

How come no one's ever thought of that!! WOW, its because the dad coach board members have a tight grip on it and don't let anyone else get involved....duh

Dad coaches have ruined town teams? Am I missing something? was there ever a time where professionals coached town teams? If town teams have become ruined, it's because of parents like you. You complain on the sidelines while dad coaches coach your kid on a volunteer basis

First, how do you know i am not a coach,
secondly, anything revolving with town recreation always has people in place and leaves no room for outsiders,
lastly, MOST of these dad coaches have to put in the effort to coach because their son's , whom aren't half as good as they think, would not get the best positions or most playing time if they were evaluated from an unbiased coach.Why do you think PAL is like the Superbowl to half these guys, its the only limelight their kid gets for now.

Not in my town. Anyone who wants to help coach doesn't get turned away. Always room for assitant coach to come help. Did you actually say , duh. Are you 12 years old. Thats when I used to say that.

I am not 12 ,but I am smart enough to reply to a post ,to keep a conversation, rather than adding it in as a separate post.

First, I hope you're not a coach. Secondly, maybe that's the case where you live, which yeah that sucks. And third, I've had kids in town sports for 8 years now and all of the volunteers have been fair with all the kids. If the cost of having a free dedicated dad coach is their own kids getting a little extra playing time then so be it. My question still stands though. When were town based teams (take PAL) ever run by "professional" coaches (or as you would put it "non-daddy coaches"

You're an idiot. You don't coach because you don't know how to. Either you never played, are too lazy to learn, or you don't know how to deal with kids. Either way, parents like you on the sidelines are the worst! All you do is [lacrosse] and interfere and all that does is make the coach resent your kid. Good luck with that. Let me take a wild guess... your town has A and B teams and you think your kid is an A player? Sound about right? Let me answer for you. He's not. He's not nearly as good as you think he is and because you've never played the sport, you can't understand why no one see what you see. I don't even know you and I already hate you. I can only imagine how your sons coach feels.

Good lord. You've got a lot of excuses, huh? Seems like you're going to raise you're kid to have a lot of reasons why the world's not fair. He's going to be one of those lazy, flag burning, whiny little brats who gets offended when someone says his name wrong. Geez, be a man for God's sake. If you want change, make change. Coach the team or be an assistant. Get on the board. Do something except make excuses. And another thing, all of the coaches that I know in my town have very skilled kids and are actually hardest on them. That's how it works, little [lacrosse].

Couldn't agree more.

Be careful with the flag burning remarks, you could end up in jail or lose your citizenship.

Go hug a tree

Grab a whistle and help or shut up and say thank you to the guy that does. It's 5th grade PAL Francis.

You just summed up Outlaws Select perfectly. very toxic environment..

Thank God you used "you're" correctly.

Every team, in every sport has dad or 2, who just complains and complains. They know who they are, coaches know who they are, other parents know who they are. They [lacrosse] and stand on sidelines angry about something, every practice and every game. I coach PAL lacrosse and I coach basketball for my fifth grader. I coach my daughters softball too. I have to say there is always that pain in the [lacrosse] parent. I work long hours, than I race from train station, change from work clothes to shorts in parking lot. Usually on train ride, I'm emailing parents about practices, upcoming scrimmages that I try to line up, I'm also emailing the league about all other stuff, make up games, gym times etc. Practice ends about 7:30. Dinner about 8, when I get home for the nite. Forgot to say, I leave my house 5:30 am for train, its a long day. I coach a lot of hours to help kids get better at those particular sports, I played in college, I know the sport. Am I qualified to be a high school head coach, no. More than qualified to coach kids,yes, and my son is a very good player, he would be real good, no matter who his coach was. Nobody would ever say I favor my son because I don't, in fact he probably gets it a little worse, just so I don't have to hear those couple of people, who always [lacrosse] (behind my back of course). My point of this is, I have my 2 assistants. Nobody else ever asked to help.if you think you can do better ask to help. Grab a stick and whistle and help. Do something, devote your time , like us coaches do. I make zero money for this, I don't want to make money, but I do want appreciation. The dad coaches like me who do this, have jobs, families, homework that kids need help with, housework that needs to be done, etc, etc, etc. You should thank these people who try help your kids.

You want thanks? Not going to happen. And your kids aren't as good as you think daddy coach.

Best post ever on this site. Thanks for all you do. Sidelines parents have no clue what goes into it. And you do see the same parents involved in different sports. To coach youth sports and be involved in organizing puts a huge bullseye on your back. There are some that do so for the wrong reasons but most our trying to give your kid a chance to have fun and learn a game

Didn't even want to acknowledge this troll comment but couldn't resist. Anyone who plays on the Outlaw Select Team knows this not to be true Great group of kids and families who are playing on the Outlaws Select team to get coached up, become better players and have fun. Better than Taz or WP obviously not but our boys come to practice and the games and give all there effort. Furthest thing from toxic. What is toxic is a spineless troll hiding behind a computer making stupid comments he has no idea about.

Here's the other side. I coached in soccer, played in HS. My son loved lacrosse. He played PAL. Let me tell you, some real a-holes in Lacrosse. They decided my son was a B team player early on. In this town at that time, B team was treated as if they didn't exist. Less practice time, no scrimmages, not invited to clinics, not allowed to play on winter team, etc, etc,... we're not even a top lax town.
I got involved because my son loved the sport, and he was getting short changed by these "Dads". Glad I did, changed the culture and made a difference. Mine went on to play at a great D3 school. Only 2 others on the "A" team are still playing, also D3.
Younger son was bestowed PAL "A" team status. Coached that team too. I did it differently. Worked with all the A and B team kids. Ran after practice and Saturday shooting clinics for free, on my time. Had Defensive alumni come down and work with all poles, A and B.
Point is, many parents do get ticked off for good reason, there are plenty of guys that have no business coaching kids and are more than willing to push their kid forward at your son's expense. Don't be afraid to call people out for doing the "wrong thing". Just because they're donating some time, doesn't mean they're beyond reproach. Far too many in it for all the wrong reasons, particularly in Lacrosse!!!

Parents do appreciate the time and effort. I know I have time and time again. What they don't appreciate is watching the coaches kid who is no better then any other kid, never leave the field. What they don't appreciate is saying your team is SELECT when you barely practice. Then they go to a tournament get smoked by a team that does put in the effort. What they don't like is watching the dad coach scream at his team and embarrass 10 year olds in front of the other team and parents in a game.
Simply said, just because you played and want to put in the time for your kid doesn't mean you are qualified to be a coach. In this case you need a lawn chair instead of a whistle. You aren't appreciated because you treat people terribly and everyone sees it but you.......

I have to say there is always that pain in the [lacrosse] parent. I work long hours, than I race from train station, change from work clothes to shorts in parking lot. Usually on train ride, I'm emailing parents about practices, upcoming scrimmages that I try to line up, I'm also emailing the league about all other stuff, make up games, gym times etc. Practice ends about 7:30. Dinner about 8, when I get home for the nite. Forgot to say, I leave my house 5:30 am for train, its a long day. I coach a lot of hours to help kids get better at those particular sports, I played in college, I know the sport. Am I qualified to be a high school head coach, no. More than qualified to coach kids,yes, and my son is a very good player, he would be real good, no matter who his coach was. Nobody would ever say I favor my son because I don't, in fact he probably gets it a little worse, just so I don't have to hear those couple of people, who always [lacrosse] (behind my back of course). My point of this is, I have my 2 assistants. Nobody else ever asked to help.if you think you can do better ask to help. Grab a stick and whistle and help. Do something, devote your time , like us coaches do. I make zero money for this, I don't want to make money, but I do want appreciation. The dad coaches like me who do this, have jobs, families, homework that kids need help with, housework that needs to be done, etc, etc, etc. You should thank these people who try help your kids.

You're a good man. The board is full of trolls who are impersonating the worst of the worst parents.

Must be a town dad on the travel team sucking up to the travel/Pal dad coach. I have seen that team on the sidelines and the boys play scared because the coach rips them off the field if they make a mistake. That age is for developing not getting screamed at. Why is someone a troll for speaking the truth. Kids don't learn anything when they are afraid, hence that team hasn't progressed in 2 years....My son plays on another team in the age group and we have played that team. The coaches antics were sad to say the least. The referee asked the parents on the sideline if the coach was medicated.

Simply said, just because you played and want to put in the time for your kid doesn't mean you are qualified to be a coach. In this case you need a lawn chair instead of a whistle. You aren't appreciated because you treat people terribly and everyone sees it but you.......

Why would you assume all of these bad things without knowing the guy we're talking about?

What is making YOU assume I don't? I know for a fact everything written there is the exact truth...sadly

You know for a fact. You know nothing. Its not even close to being true with my team.

All true - ask around in his hometown about his coaching style. There are a lot of kids and parents who left the town travel team and went to travel teams because of his favoritism.

Like I said wrong person. My town dosent have a travel team, never had one. Sorry about your bad expierience, but I'm not that person you are referring to. I'm a long island dad coach, but news flash to you. There is more than 1.

Better than Taz or WP obviously not but our boys come to practice and the games and give all there effort. Furthest thing from toxic. What is toxic is a spineless troll hiding behind a computer making stupid comments he has no idea about.

Nobody is questioning the kids or parents. They are great kids and caring parents, I am sure. The comment was made about the coach , period. It wasn't a troll comment, It has been seen time and time again on the sidelines. Watch his son never leave the field because he is so awesome.Watch who makes the most mistakes. Watch him yell and scream and pull his players off, for being 10 and making a mistake. As a parent from another team we all watch and feel badly for them. This stuff isn't done in private it is out there for everyone other parents, included to see. But if your son is happy there, that is great.....

But you are the worst out there, and the kids suffer for that. And your kid is terrible.

You dont even know who I am, where I coach. You sound like an idiot.

Northport for sure

Can anyone recommend some quality indoor winter lax tourneys or jamborees. Long Island , Connecticut or westchestet

As a parent from another team is an interesting quote because it means you have no idea about how this team works. First of all that means you don't see how this team is at practice and the lacrosse knowledge they are gaining. Second of all majority of the team are return players. Would a parent return to a team if the coach was the horrible person you portray. I think not. This team does a great job getting players on the field. Is play time always even no but this is competitive travel lacrosse. If your baby boy isn't getting more play time maybe he needs to be practicing on his own a bit more.

Can anyone recommend good indoor training for the winter?

Don't have to see practice, everyone sees the product on the field and it is middle of the B pack at best. Coach preaches Select, competitive blah blah blah nonsense. Just to let you know it is 5th grade lacrosse where kids are supposed to be developing not Johns Hopkins.....

He's doing the best that he can with what he has to work with. Parent's have high expectations ...The best kids in the surrounding areas of Huntington are not choosing the Outlaws. They are middle of the pack and that's ok but expectations need to be toned down.

You sound like someone who had a son that might have played for this team and no longer does and your bitter. If your son is on the team than thst makes you aneed idiot for being so miserable and staying.But if middle of the pack means my son can still play other sports and at least compete at the Spring/Summer Tourneys (does Fall even count) then that's fine. Its not like any other teams who have multi sport athletes are going to touch Taz or WP anyway.

Yeah, the owner thinks he is God and that he knows everything, but is totally delusional about what's going on with the mass exodus of the players. here's a few clues... bait and switch, arrogant about players, no personality, limited practice, politics, etc

Middle of the pack is fine I agree. Blaming the parents for the expectations I don't agree with. The Top tier attitude comes directly from the coach and club, fact. LI lax is a pretty small community you don't have to have a kid on the team to know whats going on if you ask some questions..

Tony Soprano is from New Jersey not LI genius and move back to Baltimore if you're so disappointed. LI doesn't need another trash bag from MD, especially Baltimore

Joey Buttafuoco is from Long Island, not Tony Soprano. Go back to Maryland.

careful outing yourself daddy. 2024 is a small world so pretty easy to figure out who you are. Esp given on how far and wide you shopped your kid.

Tony Soprano from Newark NJ. Much nicer than long island.

Didn't the Taz and the WP go down there 2 weeks ago and smack every MD team around

IF the Mayor and Baltimore Attorney are examples of the great city of Baltimore you can keep it!! I'll take my Long Island politicians any day!!

We as a community need to support Strong Island Lacrosse. We can compete against each other all year but need to come together once we cross state lines. Maryland and their holdbacks are 2nd class @2024.

More don't like it because it's gross. You guys still rioting down there? Heard that was awesome.

Rather have my politician in Sing Sing than those absolute losers you elected in Baltimore, and absolute city of garbage, and I'm talking about the people! No worries though, Baltimore will shortly be the Detroit of the East Coast!

This poor guy from Maryland thought he would input his 2 cents and BOOM, clubbed like a baby seal. Welcome to NY!!!!! lol

Brutal lol. Tony Soprano would be proud. Except that show was set in NJ. Now thats a real dump of a place. They don't even have good lacrosse.

We all know that MadLax has the best 2024 Attack so take that back to L.I.

Do you mean the "13 year old" that crushed your kid's team? I am from LI and I wish you other LI dads would let it go. Makes you sound bitter. Just admit that Madlax has a good 2024 team (can't say the same for the rest of them).

It seems as if all the "top" attackmen for 2024 are all 12 years old and should be in 6th grade! I wonder how great they'd be playing in 2023?!?

This is exactly the problem with lacrosse. The rules are backwards. My son (4th grade with a Sept 2007 birthday) is playing 2024 this season. He had a decent fall, struggled a little, but I know he will be better for it. His game will get a lot better, a lot quicker, playing against older, physically advanced competition.

As a parent, why would you want your son playing against younger competition? Is he really being challenged and improving?

Agree a 100%

Exactly - in any other sport, CHOOSING to have your child play up is the gold standard for really gifted athletes. Having kids play down in lacrosse #1 is taking away the choice aspect from EVERYONE else, and #2 also non-indicative of any talent at all. I've posted before on these boards: my 2021 son played down once in an A 2022 game and looked like Paul Rabil in that game - on age, he is mid-level middie on his B level travel team! While exciting to watch in the moment, I wasn't really impressed as it is sort of what you would (should?!) expect under those circumstances.

I would like to say I am in agreement that all kids should play at there AGE! not at a grade there parents put them in.But your son is a young 2025 why are you making him even play with the 2024's?

How come this is only a problem with lacrosse but not basketball, hockey or football where it is far more prevalent?

#1 - I am not making him do anything, he asked and I said sure
#2 - Not that I need to justify to you, but his coach made the recommendation to play with 2024s. This club doesn't have a 2025 team and while my boy is a young 2025, he is big and quick.

And he is holding his own with 2024 kids. He isn't the best one out there, but not the weakest on the team either. And, most importantly, he is having fun meeting different kids and making new friends. Isn't that what it is all about?

Most other sports have gone to age-based team governance. Hockey and soccer have probably done it the best, and as i understand it, both were very bad prior, much what we are observing with respect to lacrosse right now.

There are strict enforced age requirements that come along with governing hockey and football. Like lacrosse they are both contact sports. Basketball is age based but obviously not strictly enforced.( no contact)

I left out football in my post because, to my knowledge, age has never been an issue for this sport for obvious reasons.

No there is not a strict governance on football. You can play up until the age of 19 in NYS. Do you know how many "holdbacks" there are in football in basketball? Inner city kids are left back multiple times. There are 18 year old sophs on some football teams. No one has EVER answered this question when posed.

I think they meant below HS age . . . the youth football leagues are very strict, and their insurance companies make sure of it!

You sound like a real winner. "Trolling" lax web sites for fun? Just that word alone makes you as bad or worse then the very parents you condemn so self-righteously, but you probably don't even understand that point...

This spring who will be the best town teams? And why do some town teams feel the need to recruit outside that town?

What teams recruit kids from other towns. I never heard of that. Do you have specifics or are you just trying to start a false argument.

There is not formality to "town teams" - on LI, basically it is either PAL or travel club lacrosse. That some towns choose to assemble a travel club that is predominantly comprised of kids from their town/PAL/school team is just a choice. But, like with any travel team, you need to have sufficient numbers, and maybe some go outside their town for that reason, or they do so to bring in a kid that is associated with someone else on the team, or they are just doing what most travel teams do: make their team more competitive via a more skilled player.

SYAG is actively recruiting kids at many age groups. You would think that in such a large are they could find enough kids to coach into good lacrosse players. Unfortunately, the coaches just want to win without putting in the work to make the kids better. Useless chumps. All of them.

Where i live, we have a "town team". We have at least 2 teams for each age group that plays PAL, but then hold tryouts among those kids to create a tournament team that plays throughout the spring/summer, even fall tournaments. There is no recruitment outside, and in order to be on the "town team" you have to register and play the PAL season

Garden City PAL is a town program and does not have kids from outside Garden City participate in PAL.

But all PAL teams are town teams, and therefore none have kids from outside the community. That is as much due to PAL rules as anything else.

Garden City is a bunch of stuck up think your better than everyone else town. Guess what? Your town sucks!! You're not on the water, you're next to Hempseed and Takes an hour to get anywhere. Your house is your wife is ugly and you're kids will grow up not talking to you!

No they didn't. Every kid is from the town. They just have some really good players for a town team. Stop with you BS and go have a catch with your son. Tool

You can have players from other surrounding towns in PAL as long as both PAL org's agree on it. The town where the boy lives needs to sign a document releasing them. If the kid is any good 99% of the time it doesn't happen but it can and does.

They bring in 2 boys from the grade below them to tournaments. They don't need any outside help.

if not, then PAL allows them to participate in a neighboring town's program, but it has to be a neighboring program.

Although, there were rumors about some shenanigans between Port Washington and Garden City last year @ the 7th grade group.

I think every town has PAL. I guess some towns may combine teams pending on how many kids register. I believe a lot of football teams that have low numbers combine with neighboring towns to make one team.

what did the English language ever do to you?

Shenanigans between Port and GC?? Why would GC need a Port player? GC boasts some of the best lacrosse depth in all of LI if not the state. Sounds silly.

Football is not part of PAL, so the community-centric rules that PAL has do not come into play for youth football on LI. I don't think NCYFL, for one, has many, if any, restrictions on where a team's players are from. And, yes, there are neighboring communities that have consolidated programs to deal with numbers.

GC doesn't have PAL teams when they hit 7th grade and Port does, so there was an opportunity for a 7th grader from GC to continue playing PAL for another year and was allowed.

GC middle school has plenty of roster spots.( at least they used to) 2 regular teams and a developmental team. no one cut.

Is the implication that Port has some of the best lacrosse depth in all of LI ?? I would have to disagree, solid, but I don't believe Port lacrosse can compare to GC lacrosse.

That may have been true, but what I understand happened was that the Port team ran short for a number of games and then more than a few GC boys ended up playing to help them field enough players.

Why are we discussing a few 7th graders from last year on a 2024 forum? Move this thread to the 2021's if it is worth discussing further.

I agree.But lets get serious Commack Daddy??? Commack has kids from surrounding areas.

No they do not. If you want to get serious daddy or mommy or whoever you are. Next time you see them play, point out the non commack kid. You point that kid out. Ill have that kids parents show you a drivers license to prove residence. Stop with your lying bullsh*t.

Another great display of intelligence.. Hope your kids don't read this and know you wrote it. I am embarrassed for you imagine what your children would think...

Pay no mind to these jealous haters. The team has no outside kids, so there is nothing to argue about with this fool. Take it as a compliment , the team is good enough for this dad\
mom to make stuff up. You should be working with your kid\team to get them up to par with a team you are obviously jealous of. Heard the same stuff about BBP and that's all BS as well. Top 2024 teams around, Sorry

I dont know what idiot wrote the [lacrosse] post. But I assure you there are boys not in the Commack school system that play from time to time on the team. You are correct they are a good town team but there is some confusion on the town team logistics in Commack. And stop with the catch with your kid thing. My kid throws to hard and runs to fast for me to play catch with. your 4th grade hold back playing up is not on his level.

Logistics, wth are you talking about. Man I'm busy, not commenting on this stupid horsesh*t anymore. Mystery man with the phantom teacher friend. There are 2 schools in the town, every kid on the team goes to one or the other. Attend any game you want, you point out any kid or have your teacher point out any kid. If that kid does not attend one of those 2 schools, ill hand you 1000 bucks. Plus ill get on here and say I'm wrong. There is not much more to say. I really hope you approach me.

I'm looking for monday or tuesday night clinics for winter. Anyone have good suggestions.

Unless it is someone who pays this guy he doesn't post what we put up. I've ,axe suggestions in the past and he doesn't post them.

You know what I am talking about. At some of the town tourneys last year and the year before. There were boys from other school districts on the team.surrounding areas i'll give you that. And You and I both know that the BBP coach does the same thing. No need to get so upset.Its town lax. but We all know its being done.

Who cares about PAL town lax? You still have boys at that level that don't know they are even on a lacrosse field. Keep the conversation on top Travel lax. Much better of a conversation

Their conversation is not about PAL lax, but town teams that choose to play in travel tournaments that have town divisions. Some of those teams, especially some from communities that have both strong PA and school programs that either play for a town travel team or also play for such teams in addition to playing for an open travel club. Are they A or AA teams? Generally, no. But, who made your arbiter of what travel teams could be discussed on these boards??

Boring!!!!!

Not at all. That's why the CT kid on TAZ isn't playing for Dukes anymore.

That's one kid what about the rest of the world

Lol. I was thinking same thing. If he does it, the lax program is great. If he dosent the program is no good. Are we talking about lebron james or a fifth grade kid. Some of the stuff written on here is so comical.

I watched that video that went out on the email. Limited. Shows whatthat they say is acceptable.

i actually enjoy the PAL season where some of the core kids in our town can actually represent together on a team. Travel breaks kids up when kids play for a travel team that suits them best, but having the boys who grew up together and still grow up together play together until HS is fun to watch. Pulling your kids from PAL is exactly whats wrong with the sport and sports in general. Travel used to let the boys all play the PAL season without putting a burden on them showing up for travel practice all week. Let the kids en joy the sport with the kids in the neighborhood along with a more competitive level during the summer. But hey your kids are superstars and too good for PAL. You'll regret not letting your 10-11 yr old have fun with his school friends.

Lets see where this goes

Nonsense! My son plays Duke's Nat. With CT Kid and It was made VERY clear to the TAZ coaches that Duke''s Nationals is priority over TAZ! There is more to youth lacrosse than just trying to "Harvest Wins" at all cost to make more money for your program. This is clearly why the CT KID can TEMPORARILY walk on to TAZ as their unquestioned #1 weapon. If the TAZ crew doesn't begin "KUTTIN" the comments, the CT KID could slide into another WOLFPACK!!! Overnight!!!

So do you recommend dukes national 2024

Fat Chance, no one wants someone with no loyalty. The Team will cut the parents (and their little superstar) soon enough.

REALLY!!! NOT! The TAZ team does NOT, i repeat does NOT need the CT as a TEMPORARILY walk on , he is a good addition but NOT the Unquestioned #1 weapon... REALLY. Defense is and always be!!. and the offense is small and scrappy without him. Go back to the Dukes National team, your probably upset because you miss him. I will make it VERY clear to you.. Stay in CT were you belong.. PS JA would not have that kid on is WOLFPACK Overnight!!!!! he is not a BP kid and cultivating HS athlete......its 5th grade lacrosse and means nothing except to you!!

You do to need my kid. I drive all over the USA showing off my superstar. I even dress him up in all kinds of uniforms like a circus. Sometimes he puts on the wrong uniform but nobody cares because I have the superstar you need.

Ok. First of all it is Christmas. Team Taz is One of the best if not the best in the entire age group. They were good before this boy join the team and they are even better with this boy on the team. The team is good top to bottom. Stacked on defense, midfield, attack, goalie and coaching. The boy from CT makes the top team even better. Jealousy is an ugly trait especially during the Christmas season! Go enjoy your family and be grateful for all of the things you have.

Btw if you knew the kid or his family you would know he would NEVER play for the Wolfpack.

Why not he plays for primetime in westchester as well- what's so great about this kid- he is a hotdog. And the father micro manages the crap out of him. It's sad

Some of you people are distgusting. You talk about this kid like he is a man or like one of these programs director.

I hope Larry and the other members of Back of The Cage are monitoring this forum. I truly hope that someone doesn't cross the line with the comments about a kid or his family. As far as I am concerned the lines have already been crossed. The kid plays lacrosse. That's it. No one deserves this kind of cyber bullying. Yes, it's cyber bullying and this whole page should be deleted.

A message to everyone keep the conversation about the teams, alliances, tournaments, etc. but this has to stop with discussing the "the CT kid" and let them have a youth travel experience EQUAL to your kid with a little Amoninity.

LEAVE THEM ALONE.

When you play on all these teams you really play on none of the teams. Part of the program even with the big machine organizations is to develop team chemistry and camaraderie. These nutso parents ought to think about what they are doing by making kids mercenaries.

My son plays on the Outlaws Select and he was not there you sure it was not the black team.

Wow parent of the year. That was the gold team and they lost twice to the Ducks black (6th grade) team beat the purple also (6th grade) and lost to high voltage.

Did you run home to write about kids because you were not loved enough as a child? Get a therapist.

Guy is the polite way of saying it. Again, your kid is the only loser in any of this buddy! I'm sure he's a cry baby jerk off just like his daddy! Do him a favor and walk out on your family before he's a hopeless a-hole like you.

What happened to being polite? Sounds like someone didn't get what he wanted for Christmas. Santa probably saw you all upset at your 10 year old Lax games and put coal in your stocking....

Can't be polite to men, and I use the term loosely who rip on kids. If that's your deal I will call you out every time. No one likes to see their kid shredded online. Like I said, leave your family, spare them the years of psycho analysis in the future

You just let a guy you don't even know on a 10 year old Lax message board get under your skin in a major way during Christmas time. Who are you the lax board police? You should revisit your therapy sessions and stop worrying about that guy. Who cares what he says, he was probably looking to hook a fish and you ran right into his line... move on bro.

Santa jam ? How was that ?
High voltage comes out of retirement ?

Haha they had 2 Taz kids and they hardly towed the line. You're a fool. Its a good team and from what I saw 90% of the goals were scored by WP kids. We lost to them also but lets not get out of control here and say they would be 2nd best. There wasn't a team close to them

You may be right. But if you look at the last 3 years of 2024 travel the WP have given every team they faced a pretty bad beat down. Including the Taz. This past season they beat everyone again handily and lost to the Taz 4 times by one goal. They also dropped 1 game to Bethesda in overtime. Another 1 goal game. If you look at the past games against the Taz the goal difference lays heavily on the WP side. Nothing to take away from Taz but one goal losses do not take you out of the top spot. WP may need to go back to what got them to the top and if they do all teams including the Taz will have a hard time against them. Taz is a great team and it should be a great Summer of competitive lacrosse.

Wp lost to Taz 5 times in a row and someone still thinks they are the top team. Delusional. Wp has not beat TAZ since third grade.

Well Wolfpack doesn't import 13 year olds from connecticutN

Oh jeeze, not sure what is worse the bait post or the hook line and sinker response. I'll go with B.

Or that you don't know how to respond to a post without copying the other message 4 times.

4 times by 1 goal. And your kid is a non event on the Taz team. That stings.Know the facts Taddie. One day your boy might get the nod, keep up the hard work and keep writing those checks.

the Taddie has his facts correct. 5x's in a row. Google it

The Black CT Kid is only 10 but he will be 11 next year. So give it a rest and he's only one player. TAZ has many other players just as good if not better. So watch out WP. Now here come more WP excuses. Now go -

It was 5 TAZ kids but they did "dominate",especially the 6-5 win over the Northport town team.
Good day of some extra lacrosse win or lose

Do any of you people understand that in a few years none of this matters? Once you start going to showcases who you play for does not matter. My older son is in the showcase mix now and at no point do they care who you play travel lacrosse for. the only thing you should care about is that your son is getting the best training he can so he can make an impact at these cases. It looks like that the talking heads on here have the sons that may not cut it in a few years and happen to be on 1 of the top 2 teams so they feel what they say matters. If your son has true talent, and I don't mean a big kid that just runs down the field and barrels kids over with out even thinking about passing, I mean the True players right now, size, IQ and some speed, but also is coachable and is progressing in all 3 of these areas, there is no reason to comment or run your mouth. In the end a handful of these boys will stand out and the rest will fall to the side. Some will even play om the same teams and talk about Travel lacrosse as a great experience and "remember when our teams used to battle it out" Now if the parents can just get a grip and stop the craziness everyone will see the truth. These times are for fun and experience with the hope that your son can make it to that next level. Its not for parents to pump their chest or relive what they may have left on the field through their sons. I'm sure someone will rip into this and that's your right, but one day you will see the big picture.

Northport played High Voltage at Santa Jam? Were they in disguise wearing Duck Costumes?

Northport 2024 must be an incredible group of laxers to lose by 1 against 5 taz kids. Kudos to the Tigers !!

Hey pal, there's no room for clear and rational thinking in this forum! This forum has become a magnet for parents living vicariously though their sons. Hopefully, their kids don't turn out like them. Just sit back and take solace that you are not like them. And yes, most kids playing at 10-11 yrs old now will not be playing at all by the time they are 17-18 yrs old.

High Voltage had 2 Taz players, goalie and midfielder. Northport didn't play Santa Jam.

Hub Jamboree is doing it right. Competitive games, on the cheap and fun for the boys. Bring a small roster and let the kids play. Only 1 face off per game, Refs did a great job letting the kids play while keeping them safe. My son can't wait for the next one.

What team had 5 TAZ Kids?

well said although your reasoning will fall on moronic 5th grade egomaniac daddy ears. Once 8th grade rolls around your helmet means nothing at showcases-just your talent and coach-ability. I think all the champion TAZ and WP kids should bring their 4th, 5th, 6th grade T-shirts to the showcases, so the evaluaters see those Chmp T-shirts. That should make a big difference-ROTFLMAO. BTW-ChristmasJamboree-teams had some kids that were biggest 2023/2024 kids I've ever seen in my life.

Too cerebral for this site-ROTFLMAO Nut cases for parents here.

agreed-I was there and my son will be there again

Serious question for parents with older kids. Play for a a B team against B teams with good coaching. Or play for a Taz type team. Which is better if you want a shot for your kid to be seen?

what grade is your son? This is a 2024 forum and no one needs to get "seen" yet in 5th grade. IN 4th grade get good coaching and have fun. To get on a "Taz" like team he better be pretty good right now, however there are many good programs and between PAL and Travel/Club he should have plenty of time to get to where he needs to be by 8th grade, when it really starts to matter. That's if he still even wants to play

I guess the question is. Can a child that has spent his youth playing for b teams in b tourneys still have a chance to play at a higher level when that time comes? I'm more curious what parents with older kids have experienced? In 8th 9th and 10th grade. If you are still playing for a B team. In B tourneys for whatever reasons. Would you say it's much much harder to play at the next level due to lack of exposure?

I can tell you the answer is a resounding yes. We recently had Taylor Cummings at our clinic and it is well chronicled that she started in MD playing Club for a B Team and most consider her the best woman's player ever. Some of the best players on our club at the older ages worked through our club and developed their games playing B. Lot of these kids don't get their growth spurt to later. Conversely some of our "stud" players now struggle as kids have caught up to them in both their skills and physical assets. Look carefully for the players that have vision, hustle, heart, dedication, and may be undersized alot of them flourish later in middle school and high school. We also have kids that transition into lacrosse from other sports a little later and don't have the stick skills as much as a child starting at 4/5 yrs of age.

YES!!!!
In some cases, those B team kids have an even better shot when they reach 9th, 10th, 11th grade because they aren't discouraged that they didn't commit already.
Don't buy into all the hype here that if you're not committed in 8th grade, you have no shot of play in D1 (or even college).

When it comes to recruiting showcases, the club team you are from doesn't matter.....sure, some directors may have broader coaching contacts. Once your boy is on the field, he'll get his shot to be noticed even if the college coaches are focused on someone else.

Congrats to the 2024 ); Tazzie who almost helped the Dukes take down the bandits. Its funny how even the Dukes parents can't stand his Dad.

Taz kid is a joke. His father puts a bullseye on his back. Encourages the kid d not to pass. It's just really sad. Father is 5 feet 7. Kid has no shot

Just because he was a college stud doesn't mean he can coach. In this case it is the exact opposite. He may be the worst coach out there. The kids hate him and the parents are too afraid they won't get to another program at this point. Best thing is to run not walk from any team he coaches..He is a complete cancer.

Let me guess, boy wonder doesn't leave the court and shoots everytime he has the ball? If the coach yells loud enough you stupid parents would see he is the best on the court, just like the lax field !!!!

I find it sad that you sit there and let this happen. Speak up and if others feel this way ,act. I know of a group of pal parents, about 10 families, who spoke up when their kids were in 5th grade and the guy was banned from coaching pal and the kids are still playing together for fun in local town tournaments and they are in high school.this guy made fun of and teased the kids to the point of quitting, walked off fields without shaking hands, cursed at the kids and one time grabbed the face mask of a Kidberated him in front of a bunch of people. get your facts together and get him out. No reason kids experiences should've ruined because of a POS looking to live vicariously through his kid who is mediocre at best.

Is this BM?

Any suggestions on removing this guy would be appreciated by entire community.

send in ramsey bolton

You all need to step up together and write letters to the director of the PAL and your own league director. You can't be afraid to step up. It's important to do what's right by all the kids. They have to act if there is a problem. If there are no concrete issues you may have a difficult time having him removed. If that's the case the group can ask for a release of their child to play somewhere else. Or if they don't get rid of him, don't play PAL. Play on a low level travel team like Mamas boys where it's affordable and your sons skills will still improve.

Been in your shoes my friend. Current College D3 player. Had many D3, D2 schools look at him between 11th and 12th grade. Even had 1 or 2 light looks from Low D1 programs. So, how did my B team guy get to that point? First you need to make sure your son really loves this sport and wants to excel at it. Yours is still real young. Mine wanted to be better around 6th grade. We went to a B level travel team. Only three clubs on LI at that time. We tried to have him play against best competition, and with best players he could find. The major key here is stick development, and overall skill development. Unfortunately, this takes money and time on your part. I found a great lax guy, who constantly corrected, and taught my son how to move, shoot, and shoot on the run. (number 1 skill for offensive player) If yours is a defensive kid, find a guy that knows footwork, and takeaway check skills. You need to train over and over to master these skills,year round. Don't give up other sports, but continue training once a week. Continue to find best players to play with.
As he gets older, find opportunities to have him play against older better kids, (if he can handle it physically)let him get his [lacrosse] handed to him. Makes them better on age!
Next thing, as soon as he starts maturing and even before, get him in well known strength training program year round. Doctors at special surgery have found low weight full body strength training is appropriate for kids as young as 9 or 10. Anyone who tells your otherwise, including pediatrician, is clueless.
Lets review:
-Make sure your son wants this, and continue to monitor his motivation
-train, train, train, keep playing the other sports he wants to play. Don't force second sport. One high D3 and one top 25 D1 kid here who gave up second sports in MS. Their Choice.
-play up where he can
-play with best kids you can, and against best competition
-strength training sooner rather than later, (NO SHOOTS AND LADDERS SPEED JUNK,) strength equals speed and agility. Never forget this!
- keep making sure they want to do this
- getting recruited isn't easy
- train, train, train
When gets older, there are so many showcases and individual events to get recruited out of.
Hope this helps!
My b team kid will play his senior year in college. Been playing since he was in 1st grade. In the gym today in the snow! Goes back to practice in snow and cold next week. Sounds like fun? They have to love it.

Great post.

"Play up where he can." Do you think this really is a good idea? Be very good for current level, be confident, be looked up to. Or go up a year, be average, be in a more competitive spot, not play as much.

Not sure the best way to go. My son is a very good 2025 and plays up on a top 5 2024 (my opinion relax all). This is our first year doing it. Not sure if it was the right move. Would be interested to hear from anyone here with logical experience.

Do you mind my asking which club your son plays with? My 2025 is doing the same....and here is the feedback that I've been given so far
There is no right answer. It depends on the kid and how they will react. Personally, I like the idea -- especially at a young age.

If they have the skills developed to be competitive (or the coaching emphasis to close the gap), being challenged by kids that will be a little bigger, stronger & quicker will only help his game. Should this turn out to fit your son, keep him playing up as much as possible

If he isn't competitive, you need to make sure he doesn't get discouraged. Hopefully this isn't the case, but if it is look to get him back on age until he is ready

Good luck to your boy

Thank you, and to yours. Good information and thoughts. I am not going to post the club name, will just get trashed by those who enjoy anonymous bashing. Discouragement is the scary part, hoping it does not go there.

This is 5th grade Lacrosse! There are only 3 true A teams on Long Island right now. One- that will change as they get older. Two,there is a alot ALOT of talent on the so-called AA and B teams.and they are all developing. Dont worry about college looks! worry about and making sure your sons are having fun and developing.

I think the order is AA, A, and then B . . .

There r 2 great teams and then everyone else. On any day the other teams can all win or lose to each other depending on who got more sleep or not. All the rest of the teams have a couple solid players, each team has pieces missing.

A, AA, B is all nonsense at this age. Silly talk between men who should know better.
The only real thing that matters is the coach and if you like his style. If your son is learning and having fun you are way ahead of the game.

There is no right answer. It depends on the kid and how they will react. Personally, I like the idea -- especially at a young age.

If they have the skills developed to be competitive (or the coaching emphasis to close the gap), being challenged by kids that will be a little bigger, stronger & quicker will only help his game. Should this turn out to fit your son, keep him playing up as much as possible

If he isn't competitive, you need to make sure he doesn't get discouraged. Hopefully this isn't the case, but if it is look to get him back on age until he is ready

Good luck to your boy

Thank you, and to yours. Good information and thoughts. I am not going to post the club name, will just get trashed by those who enjoy anonymous bashing. Discouragement is the scary part, hoping it does not go there.

Big fan on the better the competition - the better the plater. Practice included. Smart move in my opinion.

There r 2 great teams and then everyone else. On any day the other teams can all win or lose to each other depending on who got more sleep or not. All the rest of the teams have a couple solid players, each team has pieces missing.

A, AA, B is all nonsense at this age. Silly talk between men who should know better.
The only real thing that matters is the coach and if you like his style. If your son is learning and having fun you are way ahead of the game.

3 A teams

oh boy not this again. This has been hammered to the ground.
Let it be. Its embarrassing.2 Teams win against every other travel club by 10 goals.... No other clubs do this.

Hopefully by spring things will change.. But this falls measurements have only widened the gap.

2 true AA teams here on LI...after that there are 5 A teams, Than the rest that are learning are B.

My son plays on one of those two 2024 AA programs, not on the AA team in that program but their 2nd team. My son's team has crossed paths with all those A team's, the game's are becoming games and we enjoy playing them with big smiles on our faces. With the innumberable amount of practices coupled with the extraordinary commitment by the coaches this team should be a top contender In that A pool in next upcoming years.

Ok I'll take the bait. Legacy b is not competitive. Junior doesn't have the talent. Better off bringing the bounce back to practice.

Ok Sherlock. This group has recently tied 91 north, beat all non A teams and holds its own for many minutes againts A teams. The progress the team is making is on course to compete an entire game against that pool.

Sorry, nope. The talent is too concentrated. One line might not get blown out, but Tournament Lacrosse is a grind and the teams other than the top two just are not deep enough.

Ok. Sounds like you did lots of research on boys 10 year old lacrosse teams. Nothing to abnormal aboyt that.

3 A teams

Just wondering who is the 3rd After Taz and WP.. because it could be any of them...

the team his son is on, of course

Express can play with Taz. And should be considered in the A conversation. they proved it in last game. 6-6 at half.Be honest TAZ daddie No one is saying they are better then taz. But they are an A team now with the new kids that have been added. Nothing wrong with a little more competition in age group for this summer.

So now we are hanging our Hats on half time scores?

Seriously.. Thats the lesson?

If TAZ or WP doesn't win by more than 10 then the silly chatter begins. Dads find some stat that makes them sleep better at night.
It's ok to play for Express or 24 or Outlaws or even igloo.. ITS OK.. ITS OK!!

Half Time score!! Wake up people!!!

91 North?

You need to realize losing by double digit goals is not proving anything.
Once most teams go up big they take their foot off the gas, substitute every player and mix in new plays..
While your A team is still chomping at the bit and running their starters into the ground to try and make it a game
Let the team prove it on the field,and don't pick out a time during the game where the score is close.It makes it sound so desperate.

Do you remember when the pack would beat Taz by double digits?It was not long ago. Then Taz would start to make it closer.then Hello! you finally beat them.Its called growth and that brings on parity.It happens in youth sports.No need to fear enjoy the ride.

That was 3 Rosters ago. Not even close to the same team.
Outlaws played WP and the score was 0-0 for awhile at the beginning....
Anyone's game.

Not igloo. red headed step child of the club

third grade???
WOW, you still holding on tight

Guys stop the nonsense...Its Taz, WP who are the true AA...then A consists of Express ( Schwalje) , Outlaws Select, Igloo, Longboards, Express O'Reilly, Team LI, 91 Tri-State....everyone else after that. Pretty close to that order. Bottom line is we have good competition here on LI and hopefully represent when we travel.

So Express B is an A team? I think not. Please don't start that again.

Express B should be in conversation. But Longboard's is a pickup team if Taz is not playing.

Ok Brad, what happened when your nap was over? have you even practiced this winter?

None of the above...............it's 5th grade lacrosse, which means absolutely nothing other than the kids she be having FUN. If they are not, something is wrong.

express oreilly can hang with any of those other team besides Taz and WP who are much better. Are those teams listed better, probably, but both express teams are competitive. This year express A has upgraded and is much better. remember for tournament purposes it goes AA, A, then B. Are both express team "A" ? Yes.

No they are B but have beaten or played close games with the teams above outside of Taz and WP.

They are not A, AA, or B, they are 5th graders. Little boys who are happiest on Christmas Day & their birthday. Their parents are ultra competitive losers though!!

wolf pack left side attack stacked

Big righty attack is good. I watched pack play this past weekend at fusion. They all pass so well. Very unselfish It's nice to see

Wolf pack sideline is also stacked.... White trash parents!!!!

Our team struggled big time with the WP at fusion. You are right, big righty attack is hard to stop. Tough, smart player but also has a left which is rare at this age. As far as parents, didn't see anything white trash, just enthusiastic about their boys playing good lacrosse. No different than any tournament parents my team has been too. Team is good no reason to care what the parents are like

Are you going for the AA, A BS? Ok, everyone gets a medal. But if the first team is A then the second is B...lets get that out of the way.

I have no dog in this fight, but, the first and second team, or A and B team, assessment WITHIN an organization is independent of the talent that those two teams may have relative to OUTSIDE the organization. IE, an organization's second or B team might very well be in the same category of play as the first or A team even though their A team is better than the B team. The whole AA vs A is a bunch of crap - just keep it at A and B. The teams at the top of A will be apparent based upon their play.

LOL!!! OK Dad we get it already LOL!!

The lefty is by far their best player. We played WP in tournaments last year and have also played the town team he plays on in tournaments last year and he couldn't be stopped. Definitely stood out, some of the other kids that also play on the same town team he does which I'm not mentioning were also very good at that age. Big righty had a rocket of shot but didn't play X.

The whole team has good players. Each boy brings something to the table. Cant really say one is better than the other. Never beat them so cant really dig into them. Attack is as solid as it comes at this age, but size hurts 2 of them at this point. Our D was able to push them around but the stick skills is what killed us. X kid is good and smart with the ball, has some size also. Middies are quick which we couldn't keep up with. All 3 lines of middies are solid which is hard to find. D is big and can hit. Only success we had was the face offs went 50/50 so we had possession off the x half the time. Added some boys this year so hope we compete. one season can make a big difference, should be a good summer.

you play for this team?

Just based on the statement that the D is big and can hit means you have little to no knowledge of the game you are coaching. Defensemen hitting is over, kids will spend more time man down than playing good rotational man or zone defense. If that is what you're coaching these kids will not be playing competitive lacrosse for long.

We teach to cheap shot and play dirty like our founder #91

There is a big difference between teaching a defensemen to move his feet and use his body to make contact with a driving player than just hitting because they weren't moving their feet and got caught flat footed. Or just a straight out goon who is simply playing the sport to aggressively hit kids. You sound like a guy who read the proposal of new US lax rules and think that's the way the game should move forward in the future. The only reason a call is made on a good aggressive defensive play is because the parents on the sideline make an "ooooohhhh" sound and the ref throws the flag. This is an aggressive sport, always has been and always will be. Putting a shoulder into a player who is threatening to score is part of the game. Coaching 12 years on my 3rd son, go easy with rotational and zone defense talk, that's something every coach knows. Teach a defensemen to protect his area and rough some players up and the offensive player will think twice before going into that area again. Or we can just make it the girls game and blow a whistle every 10 seconds.

Not a fan of zone at any level in club . As the players start to get looks ,ZONE IS WRONG .
O and D players cant show their individual skills . IQ argument holds for 1 minute . Play to win, i get it , play to learn , play to show what your skills are that is really what its about .Thats not happening when clubs run zone D

Have any of your boys played lacrosse past the 3rd grade? Because on the HS and college level they are sending defensemen to the box for very little contact. If you think lacrosse is still a contact sport you are not paying attention to the game. I played 30 years ago, it was more like hockey then, not now. It is no longer an aggressive sport, if you think that I can only assume your older kids had limited success in the game. I was a defenseman in the 80's, did not coach my kids to play the way I did. Sorry, games changed. By the way, did YOU play?

Yup, college coaches want to see self absorbed selfish ball hogs who get penalized and put their team man down because they are proving that they can hit someone instead of learning how to play with skill and rotate properly.

The big righty attack definitely plays the crease or at least he did when we played them. Hard shot. I thought the parents were fine anytime we played.
Good luck this summer to all teams

X kid is good and smart with the ball, has some size also. Middies are quick which we couldn't keep up with. All 3 lines of middies are solid which is hard to find. D is big and can hit. Only success we had was the face offs went 50/50 so we had possession off the x half the time. Added some boys this year so hope we compete. one season can make a big difference, should be a good summer.

The lefty is by far their best player. We played WP in tournaments last year and have also played the town team he plays on in tournaments last year and he couldn't be stopped. Definitely stood out, some of the other kids that also play on the same town team he does which I'm not mentioning were also very good at that age. Big righty had a rocket of shot but didn't play X.

The big righty attack definitely plays the crease or at least he did when we played them. Hard shot. I thought the parents were fine anytime we played.
Good luck this summer to all teams

Please stop with the self promoting. "My team played this team and they had this kid who was awesome and I don't have a dog in the fight but but but i happened to be at this tournament and and and this kid was great and they had 3 lines of middie and and and they had the faceoff percentage could have been better but they and and and but i dont know them i was just happened to be walking by at the infusion tournament and man all of them are just pass so well. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, certain coaches of defensive players still have the "rip his off head if you are in my zone attitude" ... HV in 3 - Village is a clear example of this ..... it will change eventually...: I hope .....

We teach to cheap shot and play dirty like our founder #91

I'm sure you're a little jealous of his ring collection but let me tell you something. That man is great with kids. They love him. He teaches them right and clean. I'm not saying he's not very aggressive on the field or that offensive pansies hate (fear) him. But he teaches the kids to play smart and hard and they love him. I wish every coach put the effort into their kids that he does. On the field, he'll rip your arm off and beat you to death with it. That's called winning. Off the MLL field, he's one of the nicest and most humble people you'll ever meet.

Here is a glimpse, your kid is now 40, he has 3 kids and takes the family down to the Carribian, but he has to go inside the hotel because the sunlight gives him a head ache as a result of multiple sub concussive blows to the head as a 10 year old. Now I ask you, does that kid care many rings the now 80 year old has?

HV has nothing to do with 3 Village

Ok mr.expert here's a thought Go to a recruiting showcase , they never run a zone, go to a prospect camp , they never run zones . They want to see skills , d skills, footwork , slide- recover speed, cover, communication , etc. high schools and colleges are running more zone packages ,which I am personally not a fan of . I'm not a fan of aggressive body checking .

On Offense ,go to showcases and tourneys , show me a player who moves the ball and is the 2nd and 3rd assist guy and I'll show you a player who is having a hard time getting recruited .Thats Reality. Been thru a few rotations , in it again

You mean MLL ring collection? So his yearly from pro lacrosse is about what a substitute
teacher makes. Yes very jealous. I have a Casio watch worth more than all the rings combined. Your moronic post about ripping arms off etc proves you never played nor do you know anything about the sport. But keep believing your Knute Rockne nonsense.

You MORON, I was exaggerating what you sound like when you pretend to be all of these different people who watched, noticed and felt the need to report to BOC on how awesome your kid is and some of the downfalls of his teammates. Knock it off [lacrosse], not cool

Pretty sure no kid "fears" the defenseman. If there are any parents of attachment/middies, can you tell us if your son was ever scared to go to the cage? Pretty sure I already know the answer, but the never played lacrosse dad needs to hear it.

Want to bet?

Yeah, how much?

HV not Three Village? Those guys from 3v that are on 91, didn't they start their own PAL team to show up 3v? Heard they couldn't get enough players...

Saw the kid play in Bethpage yesterday for Eclipse. He was playing up with 2023. He's probably a very good 2024, but average 23. He has skill around the cage, but lacks speed and didn't really hustle for gb's or play much defense. He might have been intimidated by older kids, I guess. His dad wasn't bad. Directed the kid the whole time, but he wasn't loud or obnoxious like I've heard. I noticed he only pays attention when his kid is on the floor and only films his kid, not the rest of the team. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

This kid plays on so many teams it's beyond nuts. Taz, dukes, eclipse, primetime. And not sure who else

Everyone on here has a problem with a team, a coach, Dad, a player or the way a dad or mom talks about his or her own son or the team that he is on. All of this stuff is anonymous and a waste of so much time. 90% on this thread are trying to cause problems for either a team that did not accept their son as a player or a Parent whose boy does not get a lot of playing time and doesn't know how to approach the coach so they come on here and write things to get it off their chest . What is the sense of all of this? How about turning the conversation to weekend tournaments and how the teams played instead of the he said she said game. Anybody who listens to these threads and thinks they hold any validity against a team, coach, parent or a player is crazy. And if this is where you're getting all of your information from for youth lacrosse, stop. Anyone at anytime can come on here and write something and make it look like something else. Come on people. Been around a handful of these teams and they are tight knit group stop trying to pull it apart.

I heard the Jets and Knicks.

Why do you care so much about a 10 year old? Oh what's his blood type..... Black

I heard the Jets and Sharks. Best players are Tony, Riff and Bernardo. Boys look like they're dancing when they move the ball, and they shoot so hard the ball sings!

The kid is a ball hog. I don't think the dad points that out on film sessions at home.

I just find it a little strange that people are so concerned what team or teams this 5th grade child is on. I repeat 5th grade child. I got an idea. Worry about your own kid and your own family. How bout that. Mind your own business.

How about passing the ball. That's my business. I spend a lot of money for travel and nobody is correcting the problem. Why don't you mind your business!

That something thay coaches should correct. Your paying alot of money for inadequate cosching then. Sorry to hear that. The point of my post, which you seem not to understand, is if this kid is on several teams, that's up to the kid and his parents.

Hats off to these people. Somehow they manage to juggle all these schedules. It's quite impressive. I'm surprised these directors allow that. if ever a recipe for burnout Good luck

Good luck. This dad names the kid the "chosen one" in his highlight videos. I doubt the dad is encouraging this supposed fifth grader to pass to his non-chosen one teammates.

I remember a dad called his kid the X factor in middle school. what a d bag.

Why do you say "supposed fifth grader" when the kid is 10 years old? Do you suspect he is in a different grade?

Target is on his back by posting that highlight video and naming him "The chosen One."
To each is own. Good kid and good player at 5th grade.
Couldn't hurt that he plays for an already solid squad. We see how he looks this spring/summer before he is anointed.

Grade means nothing these days. He May be 12. Deal with it.

Good player but not the best attackman in this age group.

Come on now. You know he's gotta be 13

Who is the best attackman in this age group?

It's the exact opposite.

The father is a super nice person and so is his mom. They keep to themselves. Watch their boy and leave. Leave the kid alone. Father seems extremely knowledgeable and wants the kid to be as good as he can. Nothing wrong with that

If it was the opposite... then the kid is already burnt out at age 10 because it's not sinking in anymore.

10 years old. I know it stings for most of you hold back parents

Are you kidding me with that video I can think of 10 local kids just as good if not better. Good stick skills but certainly not exceptional I have 8 yr old kids doing the same tie drag. Also don't see explosive athleticism nor exceptional vision which would be differentiatiiors that are sustainable for long term elite caliber of success

How about speed. Not very fast.

Not a tazzie but your 8 years olds can not do the same thing. If the kids is anything he is big and strong and would manhandle the 2026's

Do you even hear what you people are arguing about. Is this a joke. This can't be serious.

And you scout for whom? Oh yeah, no one, and you never played, but can rate players based on your extensive lacrosse background. You are a T-O-O-L!

if his dad really refers to him as the chosen one yikes . My suggestion to the parent who is unhappy that he dosent pass.ask your club coach why he plays on so many teams and how Is that fair to any of the players .

Not my first dance I would suggest let's see where everyone ends up in a few years . Puberty ,genetics, girls,desire, parents, coaches , overuse.,injury a lot of variables .

Actually I did play have coached youth lacrosse for 6 years currently coach club and can tell you nothing exceptional. Nice player that is it . You however seem to passionate...why would you post videos of your son and call him the chosen one? You my friend are are the tool

I would hope a 5th grader would manhandle 3rd graders

First, I am not said kids father. Second, the YouTube video was not posted by his dad. It was made for him by his teenage brother a year ago. I am the mom of a 2023 teammate of his and the family is very nice. In fact, they have helped my son become a better player and always encouraged him. Why do you have so much concern over a 10 year old?

I could care less don't play that card honey. If you can't get the ramifications of posting a video of a kid like that with that title then you need to get back in the kitchen

The WP lefty attack and the kid who plays behind the cage for them are solid players.

Lefty on Wolfpack and big kid from RVC

TAZ attack is best in age group. Not even close

Madlax has a stud and so does Brotherly Love

Saw both of the two kids on Madlax and Brotherly Love at Young Guns and yes studs. Madlax I think you are referring to the big midfielder and this conversation is about attack. Irrespective I guess all of this will be put to the test June 3rd and 4th.

Small attack on madlax best in the grade...big middie is nothing but big.

From what I have seen on the tournament circuit. 1 Attack on Taz is solid on the right, another is pretty solid at left. 1 Attack on Madlax is good on the right. Express has a good attackman and WP has 2 good attackman one at left and one at X. BL had a solid attack too not sure what side he played. This is a handful of boys at this position that are probably top 5 0r 6 right now.

Where did you play then superstar? Let me guess, Levittown PAL, then you coached youth, so you coached your son, WOW that qualifies you for nothing. Lastly, you criticize kids, so you are a complete loser. I'm passionate about why an adult CARES about what someone else does. How did it impact YOU or your son? Let me help you, not at ALL! But, you feel it necessary to speak about other kids. Shall I speak about yours?

that's such a weak comeback. you don't think its a doosh move to put up a video and call a kid the chosen one? are you serious?
it doesn't matter where the posters coached or even if he ever did.

Unfortunately, the kid is a ball hog. Those type of kids are team killers and that attitude comes from the parents. Doesn't matter how much talent.

That's funny. I know the parents and the kid and that is simply NOT the case at all. He has a bunch of assist; many of which are to my son by the way. BTW - Do you even know said parents? But, anyone can say things Anonymously to degrade a 10 year old and his family on the internet.

You're son plays with him?

Well if kid is a ball hog, then the coach should be fixing that. If he dosent do what the coach says, no matter how good he is ,he will be not playing very much. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what a coach is supposed to do.

it seems as if ball hogs don't suffer the consequences as much as you think.
not that its the right thing but selfish players seem to prosper in this sport more than you may think is logical

Especially the chosen one's!

Participation Awards for everyone is the best solution.

And keep in mind a ball hog is NEVER a ball hog as long as he passes to your son.

Sounds like your two boys have some serious chemistry going. Malone and Stockon, Jordan and Pippen, and last but not least....The Chosen One and the Other One.

How about posting some videos just label it "The Other One" so we can find it.

We all know your son is better than this kid, and this Ball Hog is not a good player at all and your son is a much better player by far. We know

Nice to bully a 10 year and his parent anonymously without having to answer for yourself.
You should be ashamed. I wonder if your son read what you wrote if you would be proud having to explain yourself to him. Sounds like you are doing a bang up job of
parenting. Hopefully the stupidity you exude skipped over your kid and it wasn't handed down from your inbreeding.

What a bunch of dribble, not even sure what you are trying to say other than vague innuendo and nonsensical musings about lineage and IQ deficiencies. Like the one guy said lets see how it all goes down at Elite Eight. I for one am looking forward to seeing the boy wonder.

Oink, Oink... what happens in the tourney will not change that fact. Parents fault. Promoting it. Just like the moron posting video of that USPA team.

Attack, no matter what team that you all are so focused on ,the ball comes from who.... the Middies, If you don't have strong middies how's attack gonna get the ball and score?? All of you self proclaimed 5th grade lax lax experts should get schooled.
Did attack get it from the defense and middies? Usually YES. Check the ratio! Some of you have a lot of that time! Is it AIR.? Dropping out of the heavens to your kid??? No pay respect where they're received it from. It comes from the defense to the middies ( In the purest game) middies feeding them a majority of times and don't forget those middies -large or SMALL getting in the hole - why? - cause no one else is will go there -that what gets the job done . Size has nothing on skill!!! Attack is only as good as their defense and middie feeders are in play. PLEASE! Thank your kids for playing whether for you or them and let the game and those that play The purest prevail!

Oh trophies for all. No one is is downplaying the importance of others positions on the field. This post sounds desperate from the 4th midi line. Keep chugging away and fighting for those GB's. Your appreciated but the earlier posts were specific about attack. If you would like to talk about Middies then thats another conversation. And what about the DEE. We all know thats what wins Championships..
There are some diamonds in the rough...I'm going with 91 North Big Middie..

I agree with you. it does sound like a middie mom who just doesn't get the fact that the credit goes to the scorers. its unfair to some extent of course, but the scorers are the attraction in every sport.

Ok middie Dad! hahaha. Flexing his "my sons a middie chest" This just gets better and better. What a tool

hey the dad has to get his son to stop crying and threatening to quit because the scorers are so popular.

Honestly, good middies are a dime a dozen. When kids are just starting out, everyone wants to be a middie. That's the scoring posision because no one passes. The most athletic kids play middie and score all the goals unassisted. But then, after everyone can catch and throw, only the most skilled ones get moved to attack.

Imaging how much chest pounding he would do if his son was a 1st line middie!!! or even worse, if his son were the goalie!!!

Let Attack score off transition plays generated by the middies..... But try to win a game if the goalie can't stop a shot.

It's a TEAM game. Everyone needs to contribute from the 1st line to every single player on the bench. Much like every other sport, certain positions get the glory....but those who understand the game know that more often that not the goal by the super star attackman doesn't happen without the hard fought GB won in the DEF zone.

One of the dumbest conversations I read on here in awhile.

Agreed - how many of these tools have ever played any real competitive team sport??

sure guys at end of bench are just as important.

Let me say this. I have spoken to this boys father many times. He is nothing but pure class. The mom as well. The boy is considerate and well mannered and unlike my son, listens to his dad. His dad played for Maryland. He knows what he is taking about. In 4 years every 2024 will have a highlight video. Who gives a crap.

Yeah yeah yeah... great guy. Super father. Lax knowledge. Whatever. I've witnessed different. If you're going to post videos on FB and YouTube telling all who will listen (and he tags about 90 people in his FB posts) that he's the best (he has) then he needs to be the very best or people will talk badly about him. Such is life. Dad put a target on him. That's how it works. Now let this die... it's annoying. Quite frankly, the kid isn't good enough to warrant this much attention.

I too know the boy and his Mom and Dad, Great folks. The ONLY person targeting his son and his family is YOU, but I bet you would never have the courage or common decency to say a word to the kid or his parents to their face. �Funny how tough you can be Anonymously on BOTC and I bet you are one of the parents who smiles in people�s faces and talk about them behind their backs. You�re Pathetic and joke!

Amen

maybe in one of your many conversations this idea may have come up?

No, He's gotta be 13. Come on people give it a rest. BOTC at it's finest. He has to be a Triple Holdback.

This is grade based lacrosse. 05 babies everywhere!! stop with all this!! He could be 14! just play and getter done.

Sad. Not the way I grew up. If you were held back, we thought there was something wrong with you..

10 years old - Fact

Seriously, enough with this kid. Stop already. Its getting creepy. Let it go now.

His last name is Evans according to the video?? When did his Dad play at Maryland cause I played with Todd Evans (94-97/has no kids; happily awaiting his first child in May) at Maryland and there was no other Evans on the team during the late 80's and throughout the 90's. Was his dad on the club team?? I cant believe I am responding to this chat but someone asked me today if I ever heard of an Evans that played for the Terps any time between 87-99.
Best of the luck to the kid; dont blame him for his father's action. Those who brag are usually insecure and not nearly as good as they want other to perceive them to be, and If you are really are that good others will brag and talk about you.
Good luck 'kids'...parents shut up and try to enjoy it!

I think the only real reason why there is so much attention is because the kid is BLACK and our sport is still one that is closed only for us. Everyone else stay out. We talk about growing the game but we all know that even the natives are talked about poorly. This is creepy. It's like Cyber Stalking and Cyber Bullying a kid. I feel bad for him and his parents. Lock your doors.

Our 2023 team played against the kid, he is very good. He had 3 Goals and 4 Assist. Very smart player and used both hands. Unfortunately we lost by 2. Good luck to the kid. He has a very bright future. Complimented the mom and dad after the game and they were very gracious and super nice to us. Don't know what all the jealousy is about. Shame on you.

Reps, reps, reps, Grab a jersey and play the Game, its better than a play date and x box..... I'm for the kid and his family, keep getting better, work hard and enjoy it...good luck...

Shut up Mom. You are so far off. You are the problem with being politically correct. The kid is a ball hog. My son has played with him and so have his friends. Nobody likes playing with him when they have to watch him ball hog. Go back to where you crawled out from.

You're an idiot. You truly are. By "us", do you mean white people? You realize that the game was invented by Native Americans, right. Ever play an Canadian or Upstate/Western NY team, moron? The best of the bunch are Native American. donkey.

And is it racist to look at public posts on You Tube and comment? Can't see color from those posts of the chosen one.

The best of the bunch are not Native American. The best of the bunch are in the lily white upper middle class communities on the East Coast. The sport is for the wealthy, look at every D-1 roster, very few if any players from the inner city. Kids who DO NOT have money don't play lacrosse because it doesn't offer enough scholarship money. Football and basketball do though. If lacrosse ever does begin to offer substantial $ the sport will become completely different.

"gives the WP a run"? Isn't the last time WP beat TAZ when the boys were in 3rd grade? Think it's five in a row for TAZ

Teams make changes every year. Even small, subtle changes can yield large results. It could be a few new players, a new coach or assistant, players advancing in skill or growing, new or more rigorous practice schedule, etc... To say that one team is better than another before the season starts based on last season is foolish and meaningless. That comment sounds as if a Packrat is trying to project dominance, hoping that another team doesn't leap frog his son's team this summer.

CHOSEN ONE WILL DOMINATE

Last summer genius and they were weak 1 goal games. Go beat Bethesda and Madlax and then talk. WP took care of those 2 already. Something you just cant seem to accomplish. See you in Maryland Taddie

Why lose to Madlax the huge overage middie causes matchup problems?
Good player but my son was complaining cause he said his voice was cracking and he had dots on his face (he meant acne) this was last summer when they were in 4 th grade

Congratulations to the Boys 2024 5th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 thread. You have won the award for creepiest group of Parents and Coaches on the Back of the Cage. At least you maniacs will have this award when your kid quits lacrosse at 16 years old.

THIS WHOLE POST IS A DISGRACE. Larry Miller, Larry LarryMiller and every other administrator better take notice what kind of garbage is on this thread.

Mentioning a kid by name. How dare you POS's comment about a kid and the father by name and color of his skin. The only one's that know this detailed information are the parents on the kids own team. Amazing what tough guys you all are on an anonymous post. Just disgusting. This keeps up this will NOT be the end. Cyber bullying is unacceptable.

Get over it. You don't need to lash out at a ten year old just to make yourself feel better. We all know your kid got trucked and left the field crying. And then you spent the rest of the game explaining that your kid is going to be 6' even though you are only 5'8", and the only reason the other kids are bigger is because they must be older.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, so very true, every 5'6" dad explains how his son will be just like his third cousin from his mother's side who was 6'5". Hear it every time. there is a formula to average your son's height. It's not exact, but gives you a general idea. Some kids will obviously beat the formula, as well as some who will be far shorter than what it says.

Actually we lost by a goal my kid did well and if you think that kid is 10 give me a break

We could care less that your kid was whining after a game last summer. Do you really care that much that your kid's team lost to Madlax that you are still talking about it now?

I could not agree more. The rest of us are sinners. You are definitely better than the rest of us. We should all call you THE CHOSEN ONE.

It will the the chosen one when he goes to 9d1 or Express and whoops your kids. They know where it's coming from, Lol. The Chosen One may be level up to a better group of parents. Not the bunch of ignorant fools he is around. They deserve better.

Quite the contrary... PAL gets my kid a lot of lax chicks. It's good for his self esteem and social skills.

Thats comical. PAL will always play second fiddle but it is also made up of travel kids across the travel team landscape. Some town teams are stacked with travel team players.
Plus any conversation is better than Chosen one BANTER.
PAL is around the corner, The Elite 8 is months away.

CT Kid not here tonight. Taz should win this scrimmage easily.

secret scrimmage? Who won? Actually who played.

"Friendly" scrimmage and ur trashtalking, should have easily won..ur chosen one from ct wasnt there and neither was our 1st string goalie, ur team had two goalies that played, our team was missing 3 of our better players and had few subs, looked like taz had plenty of subs on the sideline,our team is comprised of kids only from our distict, none play out, you???? 24 kids tried out for the team,how many tried out for ur team, obviously pulling from ct to complete roster, most kids on our team are 11, im sure quite a few are same age on urs, truly sad u need to even post bs about the scrimmage just shows how pathetic u truly are..

OK??? What district? Why all the cryptic wording?

Both pretty sad, it's 5th grade lacrosse.

No trap just couldn't believe this jackass had to post crap about a meaningless scrimmage, since it wasn't mentioned lead changed multiple times and midway through the final quarter when game was stopped taz had a whopping one goal lead, so much for winning easily with ur hand picked team..

Kids in 5th grade are 10-11. Start 5th at 10 with many turning 11 as the school year goes on.

What do you not understand. TAZ 2024 scrimmaged 3 village 2023. Neither team is playing to win. They are just looking to practice and get better. The two teams and coaches have a great relationship and great sportsmanship. Just let it be.

Thanks for the clarification Bob. Hold backs are already 11. And who cares about a scrimmage .More to this board than just TAZ.

If someone has to explain a "DB" to you, then you're the one with the issue(s) . . . just saying . . .

id rather talk about PAL than this nonsense. PAL talk is fun to bust chops plus its more of a friendly rivalry than travel nonsense.

DB can mean so many things Mr [lacrosse]. Now go away, sit Indian style in front of your TV and paint your toe nails while watching Golden Girl reruns and stfu. Stfu means shut the [lacrosse] up

Everyone knows it stands for "dingle berry".... right?

let them come get measured . Someone has to lose right ? Not everyone can walk away the champion. I'm concerned for the coach and the parents for the shell shock they will experience ,But losing is part of the experience. Or maybe they surprise everyone ..

Big balls on an anonymous forum! In real life, you're probably a metrosexual coward. Regardless, you still haven't disputed my point: as far as Taz parents are concerned there are no other other lax programs that matter. Please - keep making my case for me! Likely you're living vicariously through your kids due to failed/unfulfilled youth athletic careers. I don't need that - my boys can play on B teams or not at all, just as long as they're having fun doing it. It's their childhood, not mine - I've got 2 mens NCAA sport careers under my belt - I don't need theirs! Keep chasing your dreams through your Taz kids! And BTW, you continue to act like a DB!

Here is one, the chosen one moves on from Taz because of there disgusting parents. Moves to WP or Express. Guess what, Taz isn't the best. He is the best player by far. If he moved he would shift the power balance.

What does the family get for playing there, some trashy parents saying disgusting things about a 10 year old and parent.

News flash, don't send your kid there.

Kids are great, Coaches are good but the parents are the worst I have EVER seen. Truly the worst. No one knew who he was before he came here and now it seems BOTC knows his whereabouts 24/7. INSIDE JOB. Now maybe your kid that was put on the bench can go back out and score NO GOALS.

This kid does not need to play on a 2024 team. It's that simple. He plays on very good 23 teams against way better teams in real tourneys. So get off your high horse

This was only going to end one way. A kid from a different state, who I assume does not make most practices, comes on to the team and is pretty much a ball hog. Make no doubt about it, the kid is a great player, but he is viewed as a hired gun. Plain and simple he took playing time from kids that were already on the best team. (2024) Then throw in the chosen one stuff and it just looks bad, to some parents. I'm sure it was great, at first, but it all comes back to playing time. Taz is not the only ones who bring in kids from out of state, and I have never seen it work out. The only ones to blame are the organizations that do this. (sometimes against the coaches will)

Awesome forum, especially the talk about a 10 year old; insert sarcasm for those who can't figure it out. Honestly, shocked the admins allow this kind of venom to be spewed on a forum regarding a ten year old. I know, I know, the name was never mentioned. What ever.

PS: Proverbial, my son stinks, can't catch, throw, cradle and oh yeah, his equipment smells.

Let me ques... Your son didn't make either team. Only reason you even comment.

Mark my words, lSave this post. In a couple years half of your boys team will go to express. Look at recruiting numbers. Keep thinking they will stick together. Watch them leave for 91 and express. U never played I guarantee it , if u did u wouldn't be a jerk about 5th graders.

Guys who played are the biggest [lacrosse]$.

That may be, but guys who never played are the loudest and never know what they are talking about. All they can yell is "Shoot" and when their little prince doesn't have the ball, they yell pass. Please, non players are the worst.

Don't forget the idiot mommies who yell " hit him" ! when little Johnnys doesn't have the ball.
that sounds really bright

Honestly, it's a tremendous waste of time. First of all, most spots will go to the 2023's. Second, most of those 2023 spots will go to Express kids. Third, at this age there is no game or tournament. Instead, you win an opportunity to spend about $2000 to go to a Brine camp down in Florida for 3 or 4 days in August (and pretty much no one wants to be in Florida in August). Better to wait until 8th grade when they actually play games and have some coaches there to recruit (if that's what you're concerned with).

The grapevine does not bode well for Brine and Express. Parents talk and its not pretty. Any news on this WARRIOR All America Team? Who is coaching?

The Warrior All America tournament looks like a cool concept, albeit expensive.
What's the rumor on this team? Will it be an open tryouts or is the team already handpicked?
How do you really separate kids at this age into the Top 22 or so?
Is there much separation in talent level?
Does anyone know who is coaching?
Would be impressive to see what the Top 22 from Long Island would do against other team from around the country....
Anyone have any thoughts?

Thought is we have 7 out of 8 weeks of travel lax tournaments june and july, sprinkled in with 3 or 4 town tournaments in april and may, plus our PAL season. A lot of families do non lax vacations that weekend because almost entire summer is lax. I think to spend another 1500 on that last july weekend, to sit through more lacrosse at umass would be tough on even the most insane lax families. Plus tryouts are 2 weeks later, then more money is due after that. Like roberto duran said"no mas."

It is Warrior so it may be DLT/91.

91 (and all of its sub/sister teams) has a merchandising and equipment contract with Warrior. You figure out the rest.

So the last post wants us all to assume ....

Are defense and attack normally the larger kids?

My son was born in Oct. of 2006. he plays on a 2024 team. Is he eligible to tryout for the 2025 team being that he is of the right age,but in 5th grade?

Age?? Lacrosse is what year you graduate, hence 2024, 2025. Stupid question.

Defense are definitely normally the larger boys, but now a days you have to be large for all positions. Attack should be large and strong as well. Middie you need the legs so sometimes they are the smaller boys. But if your son is small, good luck. He'll have good run on a B team but going into 6th grade next near no coach wants a small defensive or attackman.

October of 06 is 2024 (5th grade) in NY. Are you interested in having your boy play down? Really?

Hmmm, going to disagree on that one, lacrosse has no set size tables. Peruse every D-1 program and you will see what I'm saying. Not sure you have much experience in this sport with that comment.

Yeah, especially since they are all done growing in 6th grade. You're an idiot. They haven't even started growing yet in 6th and all the coaches look at is size...? You've got no idea.

Lacrosse is a speed + skill sport. Size has a place, but especially in the younger years a big kid can play anywhere, M/D/A.

Any one watch Syracuse this past weekend? They have a 6'7" middie and a 5'7" middie on the same starting line. Lane had three goals and Salcido had 3 and the game winner with 10 seconds left. It's the only team sport where you can have such different players stature wise, at the highest levels, playing the exact same position... So what makes them both great? Stick skills! It's the great equalizer in this sport.

Your question makes more sense now BUT what are you telling your son that he can't make a team in his right age group? He has to play with 4th graders in order to make it? I wouldn't.

Not making a team only makes you try harder. Unless you have a child that has never heard the word NO before.

That's just dumb. Gonna be tough to brag to all of your friends when he has to play against younger kids.

Someone need to set up a spring league for travel teams like the do in Maryland. It would be a great way to get teams ready for the summer season. Just one game a week would be prefect.

I understand, but the kid is not really older... just in a higher grade. Thought maybe this team/ tournament was age based.Not just grad class.

The boys all play PAL - they practice and scrimmage with their travel teams. They need more? And PAL serves a purpose for the community - those are the boys that will play together when they get to HS.

Saying playing down is a South Shore thing and the mighty North shore would never do such a thing. Please get over yourself. You people hold your kids back to shine in high school so little Thurston III can go to Duke because he can't excel on grade.

How is playing next Sunday the 19th?

Dude, each of these posts are from different people. Do you know how an anonymous board works??! I didn't post the south shore comment, because I can't say whether that is something that goes on down there. But I did post the reference to the specific NS schools because all of them are solid programs (I mistakenly left off Port), and I don't believe any of them engage in any rampant playing down practices - I know the program where I live and coach for, which is one of those I listed, does not have any - if anything, we have boys playing up! Try and follow along! And your [lacrosse] comment, IF it were true, says what about all of the other programs that get beat up by those I listed.

omg now you guys are comparing shores of the island, you are all pathetic.. whats next blue eyed kids vs brown eyed. I will take the brown eyed kids everyday just cause there are more of them.

There are more top tier travel teams in MD/DC/VA because they play a strong spring league against each other. btw, would be better for PAL because it could be more developmental

Keep trying to convince yourself your not playing your son down. You sign up according to graduating year. It's very clear. Lacrosse is not age based.

The big guy is offended. This is the world we live in. Sensitive to think it's elitist yet tough enough to call everyone pussies.

If the goal is for a stronger HS program, then not having local boys play PAL together t would likely hurt that goal. If your goal is simple for better travel teams and individual developement, then by playing together more against better competition will make those teams better. At the end of the day, this is a team game.

i am not telling myself anything that has not been put in front of me..Its what goes on,I get it. The number of 11 yr old b-day parties my kid was invited to(alot) in 2016 were only from lacrosse friends.
But the clear thing is debatable I believe lacrosse has an age cutoff of Sept 1st.No?

Correct. That's US lacrosse cutoff. I Believe, U9, U10 etc is your age on 8/31. I may be wrong, but that's what I read.

But Warrior games you since up specifically by graduation year. Twist it anyway you want. If you sign up for 2025 that is the HS graduation year not age.
Drop the topic and do whatever you decide to do and stop looking for someone to tell you what's right. Bottom line a boy with a fall birthday will have a tough time. Not saying it is fair but then leave him back if that's what you want to do. Otherwise play his year.

The answer is for warrior games, its graduation year. For most of the country, lacrosse in general, its the us lacrosse age cutoff. They use the U system, 8/31 cutoff.

What teams are playing in the shamrock shootout next weekend on Sunday?

it does not matter at this age if he plays with his age or grad year. if he gets decent playing time now, keep him with his grad year. if he doesn't, move him to his age level.

outlaws gold, i think greenwich team.

you don't get it. it does matter. if he is scheduled to graduate high school in 2024, that is where he should be playing since 95% of all events are grade based (only usl events are age based).
if your son plays on 2025 in a grade based tournament, he is play in down -- which is cheating. end of story.

They typically try to reschedule but doesn't always work out. Sometimes so teams just can't go because of other commitments the weekend they choose. Therefore no refund.

MD will be fine. Will move it to turf. Shamrock will get pushed back to another weekend. Similar to a couple years ago. Refunds? Ha, now that's funny.

Does your son play for Express or a team that is going to the tourney?

Warrior games? are many of the kids trying out at the 2024 bracket? is it a waste of time as the team is already hand picked?

Looks like the Sunday Tournament may be on after all.

Depends on if they announce the coaching staff

It's a 91 tourney

If your kid is a top player in the age bracket then he has a shot.. 22 boys make it. If he's a middle of the road player its not worth the time or money. Long Island is looking to make a run against other regions of the country. Don't get it twisted the plan is to go there with a stacked team.

Of course anything involving high fees and a profit will involve Channy. So the team will be Express and 91. I wouldn't waist your money unless you just don't care. Sounds like a waist of time and money to me.

$185 FOR TRYOUTS!! ALL CAPS. Seriously what is happening? All to have Channy and JA say no thanks-we are good with our boys. And where does that leave the 20 + TAZ boys that are tops in the grade? Will not be a true depiction of the best in the region.

Hopefully they take the true top players. Just because Taz wins a lot does not mean the whole team is filled with top players. And what about the top players from other teams?
I know I wouldn't pay $185 just to try out!

Snub the Long Island tryout and take all the taz boys to another team and teach them a lesson

Every dad on here that is complaining who the coaches are or the price have a mid level kid. They are going to choose the boys on skill level. They want to make a showing in this tourney. If your boy is worth it they will take him. They are not going to let a good player stay home if he can help them win. Get over the politics and put your cards on the table. Always whining Dads on here finding a way to point fingers.

20+ Taz kids? Hahaha try like 6. I haven't seen the whole team even get in a game yet

Ok-- let's go with 6. Regardless of what YOU watched -the point is JA and Channey not taking top kids .. from other organizations too!

Ok mid level Dad

your point that Taz wins without all the best kids would point to they have the best coaching. Right? If "they" (not sure who they are)really wanted to make a statement and put best team possible together, shouldn't they pick the best coaches to start. Yes? No?

And the assumption that every top kid even tries out. Who knows

Who coaches taz

You are such a tool

TAZ only wins because of superior coaching. Hahahahahaha!!!!
And Warrior isn't biased towards choosing a coach.... ZERO affiliation with 91!!!
Such Politics its silly.

This whole warrior thing especially for this grade level - 2024 - is a complete joke....means absolutely nothing at this age and given its the 1st year of this showcase I think they will have a hard time even fielding a competitive 8th grade team, yet alone a 2024 team (maybe they do but competition from other regions may not be great)....don't feel like you are pressured or missing out on something here...for the tryout fee of $185 and tuition of $695 in the the middle of the Summer is crazy. I have been involved in lax and coaching my kids for the last 10+ yrs and still have another 10-15 yrs left with my younger sons. My one son plays on one of the top 2024 teams (one that is always mentioned here on this thread) and I wouldn't even waste my time. Save the money, go away on vacation and enjoy your time with your kids as it goes by fast.

who cares if the team is rigged, hand picked, whatever.....the tournament means absolutely nothing at the end of the day...even to those who make the team....complete non-sense and pure money grab....guess you will have nice gear though

If your son is a top tier player than go for it. If you don't think he has what it takes then stay home. To bash it before it even takes place is ridiculous. If your not going to give your son a shot, then just keep your opinions to yourself. You speak in absolutes as if you know. And you give Dad advice as if none of us have been there, I have 4 my friend and if this is what they love to do and its a choice they want to make so be it. Enough with the "I know" and " Believe me" BS. Who asked your opinion to begin with? You are a dad who has a kid on a team whose Coach wasn't chosen to be part of this team. Stop being so transparent

top-tier, no-tier, A, B, C, D, Hold-back, Double-hold back, playing up, A, LSM, etc.....i think you get it?? The point is it doesn't matter at this age, that is unless a parent is willing to spend $900 on just tryout/tuition...if a kid wants to really do this, then I'm ok with that.

I am voicing my opinion because I don't want these people to get taken advantage of...that's it. If you do truly have 4 kids and honestly have been thru this before, you already know this event offers nothing, other than having a kid play expensive lacrosse already on top of a long and expensive season. Recruitng at the earliest and showcases where kids will step their toe in the water will only begin in 7th grade, and that's a completely whole other discussion.

i know one dad in my town that would want nothing more than flaunt his kid around in his "Long Island" gear. Than again he is a tool

Who would hand pick the team? Who runs it?

It's a 91 tourney

So it'll be all Wolfpack. What's the point of trying out?

I heard Channy has his paws in it too

So its sounds like his boy would make it and yours wouldn't. Jealousy at its best

its a warrior tourney, what team is sponsored by warrior. money grab

my son wanted to try out, so i said ok. he is not top tier, but better than middle of the road. he will play in some scrimmages, have some fun, see kids he has met in camps and team try outs. meet some new kids he doesn't know, he loves playing the game. its a saturday afternoon in april, i will spend the day with my son and it gets me out of yard work too. worth the $.

Just curious. why does 91 only have the wolf pack in 2024? ever other year has 2. almost every other big program has 2 at that year. didn't they have a 2nd team 2 years ago?

They had a second team 2 years ago but the coach moved over to Express and most the kids followed.
Goes to show it's the coach people followed not the program.

This post also means my son has no shot of making the team so lets find any way to bash it. Haha So transparent gotta love it. One day dad, one day

I heard well over 100 kids at Long Island brine tryouts for 23/24. Wonder how many 24,s will tryout for this. It's double the price of brine. Not sure how to justify that.

No

Not only is it double the price, then if you are "chosen" its another 695$ to join team. Then spend last weekend in July in Mass. hotels$ travel$ etc. and that's after spending June and July traveling up and down east coast for Club tourneys!

You guys need a box of tissues for your tears

Everyone is excited about up coming Lax season..Town teams 1st.. What teams are the most competitive? And What teams will be among the top travel teams besides the obvious Pac and Taz.?

not bashing it and not saying my son isn't trying out. maybe he makes it, maybe he doesn't, but lets not be naive. $185 try out, its a money grab.

You mean Taz then Pack

Complete money grab, its all a money grab. That dosent mean it wont be good. Its all about the money though. Money, money, money. Blackstones steaks last week 300 bucks for my wife and I. Money grab, without a doubt. But steaks were real good.

Closer to 60 at brine. maybe 10 24s

10 24,s sounds low. Weird

Yes you can puff that chest out but in the end they are still not a true top team until they can put up a win against every top tier team in the age group.

Wait.... is that really the standard now. You are not better than us, even though you beat us on multiple occassions. You haven't beaten the other teams we have beat.

Do you realize how stupid that sounds?
#1 Because you are banging the drum for your sons team, not the team you play on
#2 There can be more than one premier/elite/AA team in an age group
#3 You are ignoring head to head match-ups...... Sometimes teams match up well against one, but not the other.

FYI- This is 2017....New team every year Jimbob. Both teams added starters. Pack is a great squad and can compete against any team. Same can be said about TAZ. Holding on to Wins/losses from 3rd grade has to stop. Both teams were measured in the Fall and both teams dominated the grade.
Lets see how the spring/summer pan out before you start measuring.

......I asked about the town teams? and the other good travel teams..this is a 2024 thread not taz pac thread..you will see some more parity this year.

Poster does have a point. How can you be the top team if you haven't beaten every top team in the age group at least once? Not that hard to understand. If the WP beat every team at least once and the Taz has not then it does make sense.

WP and Taz both went down to Maryland in fall and beat all the md teams there. Great for LI

The original post says "Taz then Pack". He didn't say that Taz was better than every other team. He just said that Taz was better than Wolfpack. Which they are, since they beat WP the last 3-4 times they played. It doesn't mater if it was one goal games or not. WP hasn't beaten Taz since the boys were in 3rd grade. There's really nothing left to say on that matter. Head to head trumps all other modes of comparison.

Madlax?

they are 3-10 because they don't have coaches/clubs who put in the work off season. skill work is players job. team concepts are the coaches job. if you're coming into the spring without a basic offense, slide package, man up, clear, ride, you're behind. Look at your calendar. Before the june tourney season kickoff you have 8 weeks. Best case 12-14 practices with holidays and weather. btw, not everyone will show up. Good luck teaching and practicing the above. not enough time. Gap is only going to get wider with pack and taz vs 3-10

And Express B? You must be that Mommy again.

Agree

If you are on Taz or Wolpack and not first line in a few years from now you will be surpassed by all the boys who are on the teams 3-10 you mention. Or your son just may lose interest because they don't see the field. What is the point of putting your son on that team if they don't make it into he games? Just so you can say your son is on that team? You are doing your kid a disservice. Yes they practice with great talent but a 10 or 11 year old wants to play and they will grow to resent the sport. Think about that daddy.

You are horrible. It's 10 and 11 year old boys and I bet some of the top players who were on those teams (or even the bottoms players) will play division 1 lax while you watch them sitting in the bleachers with you son who stopped playing cuz you destroyed your son.

You are correct Express B won that tournament...and I believe they won most of the games in the fall.They deserve to be in top 10. ahead of true blue.

B team kids at this point will not be playing meaningful lax in HS at this rate! You know that kids are pouring into the sport that are real athletes, and all of your clinics and B Tournament wins will not matter. My son will be in the group you are watching my friend.

Says the guy while TB seems to keep putting boys into D1 programs, as well as number more into top D II and III programs. Yep - they all got displaced! You tools that somehow think that if your kid doesn't play for one of the top 5 'elite' programs, they have no future playing college lax couldn't be proved wrong more times than when every new year goes by!

Yes you can puff that chest out but in the end they are still not a true top team until they can put up a win against every top tier team in the age group. Argue all you want. but in the end that's the truth

Head to head competition is everything in all sports. WP has lost 4 in row. Taz has your number.

Look at Express website. All 3 teams. Every kid is committed to a D1 school.

You obviously didn't/ can't read all the words in my post - go back and thrash your English teachers for contributing to your [lacrosse] poor reading comprehension! (Also, let us know what school district(s) you attended so others can avoid them!)

What? Not sure where you got your info but no 2024 Long Island teams have gone down to MD and beat Madlax. Madlax absolutely smashed Taz when they went down there and Pack lost to Madlax at Bullis as well last fall.

Wrong. WP beat Madlax twice at Laxfest. The last tourney of the season. Beat them handily in one game and beat them by 3 in the finals. Know you facts.

Your SON made the A team. Not YOU. If you keep up this attitude your son won't make the A team next time around. No coach wants annoying parents.

I'm whatever makes you feel better, but the truth hurts sometimes. But even when it hurts, the truth also sets you free.

Sporting truths include "fast or last" and "A Team or no Team". If you have to, get your little guy a baseball mit.

Last I checked baseball players make millions of dollars a year. Wonder what you make, talking [lacrosse] about 10 year olds behind your keyboard. You are a cancer not only to this thread but to your family with your terrible attitude. Go kill yourself and save your son.

Agreed, that loser posts here a lot. He probably dosent even have a son who plays. He talks a good game, trying to sound like knute rockne. Just a loser troll, with no life. People fish,golf, play piano, normal hobbies. This lowlifes hobby is trolling 9 and 10 year old boys lacrosse threads trying to sound tough.

Kill myself? It seems you folks are taking yourselves a bit too seriously. When it comes to your middle of the road kids, they aren't playing A Team lax and they aren't playing high level baseball either. On the bright side, I'm sure your progeny are all looking forward to PAL. I bet they dominate.

Are you seriously categorizing 5th grade boys on their future athletic potential based upon today? You are clueless! Have you ever played any sport at a level higher than HS? Have you ever coached any youth sports??

Yes, I've played sports at a high level and coached at the youth level too. But I'm not a standout coach, but I am a good evaluator of talent, In both horses and kids. The top kids are there for a reason, athleticism. Good coaches see that right away, even if they often are tempted by big, fast kids that may not end up so big and fast. But young athletes, like fine wine and fine women, get better with age. But its you, the middle of the road want to be or never were parents with nice, polite but not quite there B team kids kids who are spending money on agility trainers and speed school in the hope that they miraculously step it up are the most clueless.

You're a tool! I played at a high level (probably higher than YOU), but I am not the one saying that all players who at 10 yo who haven't yet developed as "top tier" athletes never will. That's what you are saying, and, if you truly believe that, you shouldn't be near youth athletics, probably not near kids in general. Please let us know where you coach so others can avoid you like the plague!

Don't even respond to that di*k. Just some loser with no life, probably got picked on in school. He tries to sound like vince lombardi, but we know and he knows, he has no life and probably no kids. Just some loser who picks this thread to hang out on. We are all on to you di*khead.

So the troll and the indignant responder who claimed he also played are both full of it? Or just the person you decided was a troll?

Is it normal for my son to not have had any practice with his club travel team I signed up for? It's his first year and I expected a lot more. Or is this normal?

No...all travel teams should be practicing now and should have been since the fall. What program is not having practice?

Were I to give you my info, you could check with the NCAA, so yes, you would be wrong! You are entitled to you own opinions, but not your own facts.

So you're saying that you went to college and you still act like a child? Do your parents know that they raised a jerkoff?? College money well spent! You're a real superstar, aren't you skippy!

Keep on hating what you never achieved . . . if your son or daughter makes it, does it fill that hole in your life? I suspect for way too many, that's what's going on, and considering that ~12% or less go on to play after HS, that's a heaping amount of unfulfilled parents!

I did drugs and and hated all jocks at every sport.
Your lax world is a vehicle for my son to beat up all you weak insecure napoleon dads sons.
Let the beat down begin.

Funny because they went 7-0 in fall tournaments you idiot.

lol

i guess you must go around to every indoor facility and scout these teams. i know at least 4 teams on that list practiced all winter. I'm sure tax and wp will be great again. but maybe express,igloo and outlaws get a bit closer. team LI also has a really good team, but don't show up at a lot of the bigger tournaments.

not normal at all.

Playing in the fall against nobody. Come on, cut it out stats Mommy. Now I want to see their upcoming schedule so when they play any halfway decent team, we know what will happen.

Not sure where all the hate came from against team 24. Too many drinks again??? Missed another mortgage payment? Wife banging sons coach for playing time? It's ok, If you need a hug I am here for you little buddy. Now go get your shine box.. My shoes are dirty.

7-0 in the fall? Does the Blatant Fall Jam count? Just asking because they lost to Igloo, Taz and Outlaws at that tournament. Let's focus on the spring and summer and not dwell on the past because we all know how that gets altered. I'm sure at the end of the summer every club parent will boast about how great their kid's team was. Long Island the only place where every club team goes undefeated.

You must be a FN idiot. the 2025 team did not lose a game at that tourney you fool. If you don't believe me go to the team 24 website and look at the picture of them holding the championship banner. We beat the Outlaws 9-2. We didn't play Igloo or Taz at that tourney. Stop you bashing fool. Real tough behind a keyboard. Tell you wife to stop leaving her undies at my place.

Oh my mistake I thought this was the 2024 thread, I must be a "FN idiot". Oh wait I just checked, this is the 2024 thread. Funny that you have to resort to name calling and making comments about others especially when you are posting on the wrong thread. I think you should check again, those are probably your own panties under the bed. Now go back to 2025.

Dumb [lacrosse], check the previous response when I clearly stated that. I don't care what thread this is. You are calling out an organization for no reason. I will defend that organization against a little [lacrosse] like you.

I don't know or care about the club but if ever my son is asked to play or wants to play for them I will make sure he doesn't after hearing these classy posts from you.

So nothing has been said about the 24/2024 team. Just the 2025 team. Guess it's true...

This site is so classy.

From what I understand the 24/2024 team is solid but I would call it an A team. More like a strong B club.

This a just a comment to attempt to hate on the club. Leave them be. There are crazy parents on every team and all of you show it so don't go there.

When the team 24 "salesman" goes around talking about how great his team is, you better back it up come tournament season...

This should be on the 2025 thread, but let me put some facts behind this Elite 24 posting.... They played in a B bracket of 6 teams, 2 of which were 2026 teams and 1 was a town team. Your 2025 team did in fact beat Outlaws (who looked terrible) by a score of 6-2. You squeaked by Mamas Boyz by one goal to take home the 2025 B trophy. Let me further remind you... Your win against Express was against a 2026 team. Igloo 2026 was also in that division.

Let it go guy. You people bash a team, They defend themselves, and you all continue to bash.. Doesn't make a sense.

24 guy, first, you are on the 2024 thread and that team 24/24 is terrible. Second. The 25/25 team is also terrible, but don't go posting there, you are embarrassing yourself. They can't even catch and throw, but it isn't the kids fault it's yours, for telling them they are great because they beat up on babies. And don't get me started on your stats mommy wife. The view of the back of her head is all I can handle.

And who really cares about Team 24
ESPECIALLY the 2025 team playing THIRD graders? Is this a joke? Get off this link.

None of you learn.. You are all fools.

2024 parents don't care about 2025 teams. Just like 2023 parents don't care about 2024 team, and so on. This is just silly.

What promises have they not delivered on? I think they have 2 teams at that age.

Two teams? Really? Isn't there a saying that "two wrongs do not make a right"?

Don't you think their price drives people to them? They are not an A team but more like a B team. People that want to enter travel lacrosse may be more inclined to check them out due to price.

I get that you don't care for this team but they can't be that bad. I know a kid on 1 of the 2024 teams who is actually a really good player.

Considering that (too) many here on BOTC feel that anything below the top 5 teams at any age are irrelevant, it's really hard to take this comment seriously. There are many shades of grey between #6 and the "lowest" team, with a lot of sold players within, many of whom will go onto play college lacrosse, including D1.

There are a fair number of clubs in that price range, although the included 8 tourneys for that price seems like a lot. Most of the other clubs in this price are only 5 or 6 tourneys, depending upon age.

It is 5 in the summer and 3 in the fall.

I don't play, I have a 10 year old that does. I can tell you that he is on an A team, and if his Team were to lose to 24, I would force him to quit. No reason to waste the money.

I repeat, I would make him give up the sport if his team plays 24 and loses.

Your boy plays for 24 and I'm a loser? Too funny. I could make up the name of any team that my son plays for and it would be head and shoulders better than that. Frankly, the 2025 Geese would give 24 all it could handle. Maybe team 24 can find a 24/25 bracket to compete in.

Just cause 90 kids tried out. Doesn't mean 90 kids were gonna except position.

RIP Team 24. Funny part is these guys positioned themselves as "business guys" who would were going to be more transparent and organized. Total lack of preparedness and disorganized. Same over promise and under deliver. Doesn't say much for them as professionals.

Tryouts are free, of course they got 90, wink, wink.

Haters gonna hate!

90 kids for all ages groups

Weren't there some losers last year or two years ago about some travel kids from Bellmore/Merrick saying how good they were after they won a Town Tournament? Sounds like the 24 parents now. But where is that other Team? And same stuff from Express B. All are pretty much gone.

Only a handful are gone from Express B. Otherwise it's pretty much the same team.

just saying that you don't hear from the teams like that any more, thankfully. 24 will end up quietly going away like so many others.

Should have been free.

There like everyone else now. They might be slightly cheaper, but there making money too. So there open to criticism, especially when the "salesman"is on the sidelines talking up how great they are. Welcome to travel lacrosse Team 24. Looks like one and done from what I am reading.

They attract the bottom of the barrel as far as talent. They play in mostly lower end tournaments. You get whst you pay for. None of their teams will ever be top tier. Would rather play for the Yankees or the LI Ducks?

Bottom Barrel is not accurate at all. I can point to dozens of kid on 91, Express, Igloo that are not top tier. A kid in my town plays for 91 and is horrible. Lets face ALL these teams are money grabs.

Your exact words "They attract the bottom of the barrel as far as talent" So yes you did take a shot at kids. You seem to have a lot to say about this club. If they are soooooo bottom end why do you have all of these "alternative" facts? Mind your business and worry about whichever over priced club your kid play for.

Ton of clubs that fall below 24.

Why does it matter how much team course just because it's more money doesn't mean it's better that salesman guy Nick I actually know him great guy if you don't like him too bad I don't think he looking for new friends you want to got cut from the team will play for another team I just don't like 24 all good I guess everyone's computer tough guy my son plays on another travel team and next year we will be playing for 24 because we like what they Doing and That my opinion. I eve again people are so worried about other teams. But there's

He means well but yes a little over the top with the selling. Not sure if he has $$$ interest in the team or if he is just an overzealous father, I know a lot of guys like him and have seen teams break up because people buy into it instead of doing their own DD.

He is a solid guy and honestly cares about the program and the kids. Not $$ interest at all. Everyone has got this program completely wrong. They have delivered on every promise thus far and then some. Damn Express still hasn't issued Bags, gloves, helmets but keeps ripping payments from the complaining parents. There is no need to bash 24. If you don't like them then move on. I haven't heard 1 parent from this team complain.

but not as entertaining as when your wife finds my pecker.

Do you like outside? Have you seen the cat?

my son has a few friends on both the 24 teams and both parents and kids are happy. All equipment delivered, practices every week and extra training sessions for agility/speed. If your issue is with one person, don't let the half-dead nut spoil the bunch. It's a solid program that my family and i are considering. The Latin American coach seems very friendly as well.

The truth hurts I guess. The kids are not as talented or athletic as some of the top tier clubs. Again. The kids are great kids I'm sure, just on the lower end of pool as far as lax. Doesn't make them bad or anything.

yes...the idiot is the one talking about cats and if you like it outside. Compared to the nuts talking about 11 year old lax. Yikes...thank god i like my kid and his friends...this page always reassures me that i am not the crap father i think i am. Thank you all for the cheap therapy. My wife and I appreciate it. saves us $100s!! Like that insurance company. Bup.

The truth hurts I guess. The kids are not as talented or athletic as some of the top tier clubs. Again. The kids are great kids I'm sure, just on the lower end of pool as far as lax. Doesn't make them bad or anything.

Another one of the "top tier or you should just give up lax" crew . . . he tries to come across as not being in that crew by offering up the "the kids are great", but in reality he has contempt for any kid that doesn't play for the 'top teams' or in the 'top tournaments'.

They attract the bottom of the barrel as far as talent. They play in mostly lower end tournaments. You get whst you pay for. None of their teams will ever be top tier. Would rather play for the Yankees or the LI Ducks?[/quote]

You are a complete a$$ hat, did you really call a bunch of 5th graders bottom of the barrel? Karma is a [lacrosse] loser. [/quote]

I'm not saying they are bad kids, just saying 24 does not attract top tier talent like the other clubs. Its a bottom end club.
[/quote]

Your exact words "They attract the bottom of the barrel as far as talent" So yes you did take a shot at kids. You seem to have a lot to say about this club. If they are soooooo bottom end why do you have all of these "alternative" facts? Mind your business and worry about whichever over priced club your kid play for.[/quote]

The Latin American Coach is named Vinny and he is awesome. My sons has never been happier playing for a coach.

The Latin American coach is a guy named Alex and he awesome. Coached my son in PAL. Can't say enough good things about him.

Vinny coaches the 2025 team but still awesome. Alex is the 2024 coach and also awesome.

Great dude. Coached my son in PAL and they put my kid goalie and the guy would stand behind the net and coach him and encourage him. He is what a coach should be.

OK.... is this the Maryland or Philadelphia forum?

24 has some talent, but hardly practices compared to other programs. Once a week is not going to cut it boys... (50 practices LOL). They sold people on how they could compete with these teams. Nice guys, but not what was on there tryout flyer or what was discussed.

Definitely light on the practices. That needs to change in order to compete

apparently its a 24 bashing and WP/TAZ forum

Heard that Madlax picked up some big defenders and could have easily beaten Bethesda by more. FO middie wasn't even there for most of the first half and they were still beating Bethesda.

I saw the 24 team play Express A over the fall. Express beat them soundly, but that's what I expected. 24 seamed like a good team. and should have a good summer.What is all the hoopla about?

Your guess is as good as mine. People just like to pick a team to bash and the rest pile on. Makes no sense as things can change as these boys grow.

looks like a lot of teams bailed on Shamrock since date changed. combined 2023 and 2024 into one division.

Bethesda lost some players from last year. However, Madlax is really good.

You guys have no prob spending 185 on booze on a night out. My son wants to tryout, call what you want but just quality time with my boy.

It seems that all the bashing of the Warrior All American tryouts comes from dads who have sons who can't make the team. All of a sudden after being around the travel circuit and all the $ spent on that, the $ for All American comes into question. How can anyone say anything bad about this? It hasn't even happened yet. It could be an unbelievable experience for these boys and turn out to be well worth it. The bottom line is any basher of this has the fear of bringing their son down and not making the team. If your son doesn't belong trying out (and deep down you know the truth) then don't show up. But to rip it apart just shows weakness on your part. 22 boys will make this team and they should feel good about representing their region. But the jealous dads on here will rip it apart and then we will read "these weren't the best boys or it was an inside job or these guys are involved so I'm not going to tryout". Get over yourselves, either your son can play at this level or he can't. Period. Step up or shut up crybabies.

Sadly, I believe the Warrior thing will be a joke. Some of the best 2024's won't even be there for tryouts. In reality, it should be 8-9 WP, 8-9 Taz and 3-5 Express/Iglio/Outlaw kids. I expect the numbers will look nothing like that after tryouts. How can you let 2 travel head coaches coach the team? As an Outlaw parent, I'm not letting my son tryout as I believe he has no chance to even make the team or even get noticed.

Well spoken

Well looking at the posts on here, they won't even have enough kids to field a competitive team. I have seen a lot of reasons parents aren't taking there kids. Money, lax politics, don't want to go to mass in July. I only did one thing. I asked my son if he wanted to try out. He said yes, so we are going. If he makes it, great. If not, he gave it a shot. As long as he gives it his best, can't be disappointed.

Good for him for wanting to go. Hopefully the final selections are on the level and he is given a fair chance

Who are the coaches?

There's one kid on the Outlaws that has a solid chance to make the team. If you are not that kids dad your right,your son probably doesn't have a shot.

No lets get some PAL coaches to coach the team. How dumb are you? Tell it like it is, your kid shouldn't be trying out. Don't start throwing your opinions around as if you know. The other poster was right, deep down he shouldn't try out so you bash it. Typical Jealousy

Makes sense. They are a top team with some of the top players in the grade. Why wouldn't those boys have a great shot at being on the team? Call it like it is, the WP and Taz should take up most of the roster. There is one Outlaw kid that should be on it and 1 or 2 Express kids should be on it. Nobody else stands out at this age level on any other teams

Igloo kids are not allowed to try out.

You're a moron. No one gets on the team without trying out and spending $185. Their will probably be 6-8 kids each from WP and Taz and 6-8 others. Not because it's fixed, but because that's where the strongest kids play. Most of the WP and Taz kids WONT. Make the team though if that makes you happy.

Are you a professional scout? How much time do you devote to watching every 11 y/o on Long Island to know that the best 22 kids are on 4 teams? No one from team Long Island, true blue, etc? Not all 22 kids on WP and Taz are superstars. Maybe combined of 9-11 total. There are a lot of talented kids out there playing lacrosse that are not on those teams for various reasons. They want to play with friends, can't get to farmindale or Islip on a regular basis, they did not tryout for those teams cause they knew they weren't taking new players or did not have an in to get looked at. their parents are not insane about 11 y/o lacrosse. Etc. there were about 90 -100 kids at legacy tryouts last year. You think they all got a good look? And there were probavly 30 kids at 91 tryouts. maybe kids grew or practiced their [lacrosse] off over the winter and got better. How about we wait and see what happens before we say whose making the team and who isn't.

Unclear on how Warrior can be unbiased....Do you think coaches son makes the team?
Love to see how this pans out.

Who is the coach?

There is a board of directors and about 10 others that will be evaluating. all try outs are filmed and tapes will also be reviewed. this is not gonna be like your travel tryouts in the summer. this will be a true evaluation process of over 100 kids. each kid will be assigned to a team on tryout day. he will run drills with that team then proceed into scrimmages. you will also have access to the films and a highlight reel as well.

I think the lower end of 6-8 from each WP/Taz. There are a lot of talented kids out there that are not on powerhouse teams. there are even some kids on B teams that could be in play. A lot has changed with these kids since August tryouts and where they were placed.

didn't igloo tie express b ?

Has the 24"A" team even played half these teams???
That team needs to show up to something other that a weak B or town tourney before it makes any "best of" list.

After Taz/WP, every team can lose to any other LI team, on any given day. The boys are 10/11. They are still little kids. All you guys think this team or that team is so great. News flash, your kid still watches NickJr and crys when he has too much homework.

Make sure you like his coach and the kid is having fun and learning, period the end....The team vs team talk is all nonsense between people who should have their priorities straight, but don't.They then try and make themselves feel better by talking s**t about little kids.

They didn't make it? Or choose not to play there? I would say, unless your involved in those decisions your just assuming

JA should stay away from youth coaching.

Not a chance! Express fogo plays the game smart and is just outstanding. Taz kid does his best to compete with him but will always be below him. Plus express fogo is a team player and humble. Taz fogo just thinks he's the best, but never will be.

When you guys say fogo,do you mean faceoff kid or actual fogo? Do you know what fogo means? I can't imagine a parent would let a team make their kid fogo. I'm sure the kid doesn't like it!

Don't talk [lacrosse] about a child on here to make yourself feel better! The Taz faceoff kid is an amazing kid who works his [lacrosse] off! Get a life people let these kids play and enjoy the game they have a long way to go ! Enjoy your children they are happy and healthy and that's a gift!!!

There shouldn't even be a thread for 5th grade lacrosse, adults actually bashing 10 Year olds, my God what an embarrassment

Said that a team like express. Lost. To a pick up team.

Igloo took the spot if express this year. They dropped off a lot.

Yes a pickup team of 80% TAZ kids.... In addition the fogo kid is a really nice kid and no adult should ever talk crap about a child...LOSER

Well I must agree. I would never allow my kid to wear anything from FuBu.
It's a dead end, I'm sure all the homeboys would agree.

Ha ha express A- team. Get back to nyit with your schwajle stand ins.

Funny this is posted because they went head to head this weekend and Express kid proves himself over and over. Not that a 10 year old should ever have to.

bigger story was no one was there. only 4 teams in a combined bracket.

Taz playing in spring jam 4/29?

Express 3 2023's. LB 1 2023.

Express is a team... Long Boards are best available.

Those 4 teams should all play in the same bracket.

There should be a 2024 A bracket with Taz, Pak, Express A, Igloo.
Then a 2024 B bracket.
No reason to play up. Unless people are scared?

If the kids want it so bad, then the parents need to ask the coach to play up as well. Why not force the issue?

No 2023's on express.However, They were shorthanded. Good game vs Tazboards. Did the final second goal really count??? Everyday more parity in this age group.

Maybe he meant to say that Express has at least 3 players that should be 2023 because of their birthdays?

Last year express played Taz to 3 or 4 goals. Weren't this years games large margins? Seems like WP and Taz actually pulled away. Opposite of parity, which is not good for the game group.

Lacachusetts was there last year too. There may be a few teams that skipped Shamrock cause of date change. Greenwich team may be there too. And 24. Maybe 12 teams in it. Could do 2 divisions, or 3 conferences in 1 division.

Express A may or may not be able to beat Taz or Pak, but it could be a good game. They shouldn't play against all the other B teams. Igloo keeps posting how great they are, so have them play and see how they do. That's what spring tournaments are for. If they get smoked, they know where they stand. But if they put up a good fight they may be able to compete come this summer.

They won Summer Sunset vs 3x town teams when there was a better travel tourney in their backyard at Stony Brook the same weekend. Basically they were afraid of playing the Longboards so they beat up on some town teams

You are 100% incorrect as my son plays on the 2025 team and they in fact won the tourney. You can simply check the 24 website to see the boys holding the championship banner.

I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that a 24 2025 team may have won the tournament. I believe the responses are to the statement that the 2025 team was the only team that participated from 24. There was a 2024 team represented as well.

The 24 2025 won the B bracket, a weak on at best. They cannot compete on A level.

They can most certainly compete on an A level.

simple solution lets have a local tourney with Express A, Express B, Igloo, Outlaws, Team LI, 24, Longboards, Bluefish, and True Blue. We all know where Taz and Pack stand let these guys fight it out.

The Longboards team was once a town team,
the dad coach has since eliminated most all the town players and brought in Taz kids to help his little sons win at any cost.

They played a 2026 team and two weak 2025 teams in this tournament. What happened when the played the A teams before this tournament? They got destroyed! No way they can hang with A teams B at best, they might even lose to some town teams

yes. the 2025 team won the B bracket. but again, this is the 2024 thread. the twenty-four 2024 team went 1-2. lost 9-5 to outlaws, lost 8-4 to igloo and won 4-3 against 2 way select. do you understand?

i would put Outlaws A & B in this. some teams like t shirts and telling everyone how they only lose 3 games a year, so they enter in weak tournaments and would not play the bigger programs.

please guys. take this to the 2025 thread. no one cares

team LI 2024 team is all they have. most kids from that program bolted to empire. they hold this team together with t shirts in hopes to attract people back. they could compete, but refuse too. rather play town teams.

Longboards shouldn't be in this discussion.

does anyone have good advice on warming up a goalie pre-game? I have seen some coaches that struggle with getting shots to the cage and as well, crease cranking -- does anyone have a good plan for this? I feel bad for the goalies when these half-dead coaches shoot on them. Thanks in advance.

Warriors will be all 91, express & outlaw top players.

How was the tryout? How many kids? Who is coaching etc

was cold, well run and about 35 -40 kids. Coaches are Mike Chanenchuk, Tom Rooney, Brad McLam, Mike Brennen. lots of Express, Taz and WP. Only saw 1 outlaw there on D. 1 from 24 and a few others.

Plenty of Taz kids there. They'll be on the team for sure. The directors want a mixed group. That's why they didn't announce coaches in advance.

It was mostly 91, 2 Express coaches, 2 Outlaw coaches for 2024-2025. Mixed group of kids. 55 kids for 2024. All top players. Should be a great team who ever is picked. Cold but good day for the boys.

Brad Mclam from the Outlaws is a complete joke. He is a terrible coach. Watch him on the sidelines this Spring and thank holy G-D your kid doesn't play for him....Great college athlete, only proves sometimes it doesn't translate to teaching young kids.

if that's the Outlaws coach, walk don't run... If his son is on the team then you know why he is coaching....

After all the BS on this thread about the Warrior tryouts it turned out to be great. A lot of talent from different teams. Much more competitive then originally thought. Coaches are Shwalje and Chamberlain. With Brennan and McClam helping out for 2024. If your son makes this squad he should be proud of himself. I'm sure a few top kids didn't try out but this was far from a shoe in. LI will be represented by some seriously good lacrosse players. If the coaches play the right boys at the right spots and don't allow favoritism or nepotism to get in the way they will go far in UMASS. The way I see it that's the only thing that can uproot this whole thing. As far as talent LI is sending up a team that will be a legit contender.

Well said! Should be a very good team. You saw top talent from some top teams. From what I heard Schwalj doesn't play favoritism when coaching. So it should be great! Good luck to all the boys!

Why would anyone put their kid on this team. The guy drops the F-bomb like its "The". Total money grab. My kid would commit to Team.

Brad Mclam seriously coaching ? Seriously ?
This is a mistake.

From how is sounded, coaches and directors choose team together. I don't think anyone will make this team that does not deserve it.

So your saying that Mclam is going to just "help out" along with coaching Outlaws and Town and not get his kid a spot. I call BS. Travel lax has way too much politics for Mclam to get nothing in return.

Nope, just watch him coach and talk to his boys. Easy to spot a fraud.. His parents hate him and many are miserable..Lax community is super small, not hard to figure things out with a little research.That is what I did and stayed far away. A lot of A team talk, but mid-pack B results.
His boys don't have fun, they played scared to make mistakes.. Watch his games this spring, you will see...

From how is sounded, coaches and directors choose team together. I don't think anyone will make this team that does not deserve it.

What position does McLam son play?
They said he would help coach. Channy & Rooney is for the 2025 team. Schwalje, McLam & Brennan were 2024.
This isn't the type of team that a coaches son should take a spot from a kid better than him. That just isn't fair, but come on... It will absolutely happen. He's not going to coach with his son not on the team. Maybe they will make it 23 kids instead of 22.

Coaches are Schwalje and Chamberlain for 2024 with Mclam and Brennan helping out.

What happend to JA coaching the 2024? Was the little guy even at the tryout?

For what I hear JK and crew not happy with taz kids that tried out.... rumor or truth???

No, JA was not at tryouts. Nor were his kids at the 2023 or 2024 tryouts. Maybe you caught the "some kids sent in film and we are evaluating them" speech at the end? Yeah, that was for them and the others on vacation.

Why would JK care?

Plenty of Taz and WP there. Should be a no joke team even with write-ins for coaches kids.

Then who were the kids in the wolf pack helmets?

He doesn't. He wished my son good luck at tryouts. Just someone stirring the pot

I didn't hear them say anything about people sending in clips on their child at the 2024z

Truth of the matter is that none of the Taz or Wolfpack coaches are coaching the 2024's for the Warrior team. To me that's a good thing. Makes it more objective. Only coach with a kid that tried out is the Northport guy, if he is even "helping out"

Mark my words, there will be kids on this team that did not go to tryouts. Without question.

I think you need to re-read my post. None are coaching

I was at the warrior try out on Saturday. Here is the bottom line. They was no kid there that couldn't not make the team. Every player performed great. You could make up the team with anyone of those kids and would do great. As for the politics. Who cares, you can't change it, so don't worry about it. If your son was there. He should be proud of himself cause everyone held their own. As a parent you should also be proud of their effort and commitment to the game for even wanting to try out. As for all the people here that worried about us paying $185.00. Thank you for your concern, but don't worry as we will make that money back.

I agree with your post. the kids that were there were all good players and worked hard. They should be proud of themselves and politics is politics. It's everywhere. Kids have to learn that too unfortunately.
As for making up the $185, I don't know about that? But it was a well run tryout and my son was happy he did it. It's about the kids being happy and my son was happy and had fun playing with some excellent talent who love the game as much as he does.

Warrior will be the big Winner-
40 Kids @ $185=$7400

22 Kids @ $695 =$15290

$22690

Yep, I heard that. It's a shame that they would even try to pull something so sleazy.

The 695 gets the kids some cool gear that will heavily promote the Warrior line of gear. You gotta subtract that from your cash analysis to be fair. You can assume wholesale cost.

If your going to criticize people's English, maybe you should proof read as well. You may not get as far as you think. Just saying....

JK was very pissed so many Taz tried out.

FWIW, the typo was caught after submitting.

Anyone know how many teams are going to be in the spring jam in 2 weeks?

Spoken like a true bottom

looking at the warrior website. I highly doubt they get full teams from texas, south, florida and west. Will be combined for sure. Long island (could have a nassau and suffolk team) and mid atlantic (should have 2 teams MD/PA and DC/VA) will dominate. Hard to see more than four teams in this tourney unless they combine ages.

so only 4 out of 14 regions will have a team? do you even know what the 14 regions are?

they only have tryouts listed for 7 regions above plus tristate. guessing they add a few more.

Go away.

Find that hard to believe. I feel like he would want his kids out there to promote his club.

Texas and Cali are combining to form a "Southwest" region at the lower levels. Expect to see the same elsewhere. Might get South and Florida though. Travel isn't as much of a PIA from there.

Here's a thought for all those parents that cry poverty when their son's club tuition is due; you may want to think about the optics before signing your son up for a possible $1500 (when all is said and done) unnecessary event. You could see how that might look? One thing is certain, I wouldn't try that approach next September unless your son is the next Pannell. Even then you may be pushing it.

If they were smart they would have this event in Cali or Florida. Long Island has enough crazies who would travel for this. Not sure about the other way around.

Not if your kid is getting discounted tuition! You can take that to the bank. Can you say the same?

So when will the Long Island team be announced?

Emails went out about an hour ago. They listed the kids in the email. Took 24 and looks very solid.

Did anyone actually think they would get this done today.

Team is stacked.

24? REALLY? 24 kids? That sucks, maybe they figure they get a few dropouts for the x-tra large pricetag. But if they really took 24 then the PT is going to be not so good. 20 or 21 kids is fine at this age with 2 goalies.

5 or 6 A;
5 or 6 D;
8 middies;
2 goalies.

No fogo in 2024, so more than this would be terrible. You want your kid to be the 10th middie?

Take a look at the Maryland 2024 thread...
That's some crazy stuff!

I guess his summer camp really does cost an "arm" and a leg.

I agree it should be 21 kids max but they must have followed the Channy way which is take the money and limit the playing time

We need to be more positive. To Millon and his crew, best of luck. Break a leg.

Maybe you didn't wake up yet because I understand what he wrote and I didn't write it.

No igloo players. ?? Why not

Gotta live the tough talking parents of 10y/o lax players

A couple of fun games yesterday. Outlaws,24 and Igloo. Fun to watch the kids get better as they get older. Some good kids on all teams. Now if the weather would just turn for good it would be nice.

No doubt they were the most talented team out there last night. Some real good kids on that team. Too bad their coaches are punks, but that is to be expected from the 631.

All the teams were evenly matched and games were decided by a goal or two. Really don't think any one team stood out. Teams were very well advanced for 5th graders and the boy's seemed to be coached up pretty good.

spring jam lacrosse schedule out. whose in the running

ESM came with 15kids... There top 15 and the BBP/wolfpack goalie, What about the other poor ESM kids that wanted to play.??? guess they were not good enough? They had 8 coaches that had to be asked to get off the field at least 5x.....enjoy the tee shirts. oh wait, every boy got one in the fun day and well run tournament.

?? I have never met more ignorant, uninformed, morons. You can add 9 up anyway you like but doesn't change the fact that you're a fool. That goalie doesn't even play for WP anymore and he is from ESM not BBP and never was.... as for ESM... dude you need to relax and realize that ESM does this every tournament. They get right on BOTC and wait for that perfect moment to throw accolades at themselves, pretending to be from another town. EVERY TOURNAMENT! We actually have bets to see how long it takes... usually it's in the parking lot of the venue or better yet the sidelines. Point being... don't let them rattle you... It's just what they do! The put the CRA in crazy.

I don't know much about the teams in the other bracket but I thought it was strange that 91 and Express were placed in the same side of the bracket. The way they have the playoff set up they would only have a chance to play in the semis against each other , not the finals....who on the other side is better than either 1? Why not have them split?

91 and Express are in the same bracket because thats the A bracket, the other bracket is the B bracket, the 2 brackets does not cross and meet in the playoffs!

I think its an A and B bracket. The 2 winners won't play each other.

You are just mad that igloo does not play WP but do not sleep on the Laxachusetts Black they pushed Taz last year at NLF for a good 2/3 of the game.

I'm predicting right now that Laxachussets Black will be a lot better than expected. I guarantee they will have at least one or two enormous and skilled players who do not look like they can possibly be in 5th grade because guess what, they aren't.

Pink is A bracket. Navy is B. Top two from each play each other for A and B champs.

Agree on Laxachussets. Very strong

In MD, Madlax lost to the much improved Annapolis Hawks 7-6. They also beat Bethesda 10-9.

Top 1/3 express,1/3 taz and 1/3 Wolfpack. Sounds like an interesting team with a roster of 24- any different what the kids on those teams are playing for their spots each week... should be interesting practices and starting lines

Who cares about conn kid????

Ct kid doesn't waste his time with 2024 events. He only plays 2023 events

24 is a B/C team. We scrimmaged them. Was not impressed.

Thanks for your evaluation coach Danowski ! They are not a C team. Strong B team.

See where they stand after this weekend. Mesa orange, laxachusetts green and LI Outlaws all tough competition.

Then why tryout and accept the invite for Taz. It will be interesting this summer when Taz and Dukes play at the same time in different states.

Outlaws Select or Outlaws B?

Coach Danowski likes it outside. Have you seen the cat? Bop.

They had 3 subs and they are a great team with some really talented kids but the coaches are indeed crazy, especially when things go exactly their way. They must be good coaches through because they are one of the top town teams on LI.

Gold/B. They had a decent fall. Heard they could be the best of the B teams. But then again, I heard that on here so take it for what it's worth.

Esm lost many players on participating in this tourney once schedule was posted with real late game time not to mention driving an hour west to cantiauge park. A call went in to request change time but we were told there is nothing that can be switched or altered. We committed to this event and sucked it up. That day two boys backed out due to uncontrollable reason and another came late after he was released from stony brook e/r for an injury he received from earlier SCPAL game. We could have easily skipped this event but all these boys wanted to do it.

Outlaws Gold is a solid B team
Couple A type players with awesome coaches

Yup, super dedicated.

Then why aren't they playing with Select because the coach is a complete lunatic?

They were always coming with just 15 total. When asked for how many shirts were needed for their team Brent answered 15. This was a week prior to the tourney.

Also, the tourney was always 6:00-9:30p so that's a poor excuse. It does suck that a few kids had to miss due to injury or as you say uncontrollable reasons as it was a great evening of youth lax.

Seriously with this?
Esm 2024 program has 2 teams, obviously this invite was for our top team. There are some boys on our top team that could not attend so spots were filled from our 2nd team. Few of our parents backed out the day of, not the boys fault, if you are so inquisitive on knowing the uncontrollable reasons give me your contact information and I will let you in on the great story. We contemplated skipping the tournament all together but decided to stick it out. Could not imagine the press if we backed out of this event.

Get over yourself guy. The event would have went on with or without your team and still would have been great.

These coaches are 2 of the better coaches on the island. zero ego, really teach the boys the skills and the game. there is not a kid on the team that does not respect these guys and play their guts out for them. this team could be the best B team on long island, and better than more than a few "A" teams.

Who will be in the championship game against Wolfpack this weekend?

No, they didn't have 4 teams last spring. They only brought their top two; however, since there was no A and B brackets they mixed the teams to try to even them out so neither would be blown out. This year they are bringing all of their teams and keeping them at full stregnth

You mean their 6th graders will be on the top 2 teams and their 5th graders will be on their bottom two teams. They always have older kids playing for them. The parents on the sidelines admit to being up a grade. There is no way they are bringing 4 teams all in the 5th grade.

How is the Laxachusetts Green and White squads? Comparable to who?

MA is right up there in leading the charge on using the ever present holdbacks - it seems that they, MD, PA, and NJ are in a competition on which can do this more to their advantage!

US lax needs to do something! Its ridiculous. Every other sport does.

You people and your excuses! God forbid a team from off of LI beats junior's team! They must be cheating! How about this. They are the only viable option for a tremendous region. That team essentially attracts all of the talent in Massachusetts so they are able to make exceptional teams. Some of the kids are actually tall, too!

Oh, and US Lax has about as much power over lacrosse tournaments as I do. Tournaments are run by clubs, not US Lax.

My town team can take care of all of Massachusetts .

Try talking to some of their parents - they freely offer that so many of their boys are older than the normal year for the grade = they almost sound proud about it! This is not surprising - all of NE had the same problem in hockey before USAH reigned it in by switching to a mandatory age-based system. So, the question is, "Why was USAH able to make it happen versus USL?".

So no holdbacks on LI? Ok, got it. I didn't know that. Moron. Does USAH run the leagues? Tournaments? There are no leagues in lax, [lacrosse] for brains. Clubs set up tourneys to make money. The more eligible teams, the better.

Why don't you go stick with hockey. They're all used to the bitching.

You might want to go back and smack your teachers for your poor reading comprehension - show me where I said LI has no holdbacks?? And no, I didn't allude to that either. Yes, LI has holdbacks, but it is nowhere near the problem that exists in those other states. You obviously missed the whole "pride" in doing it thing. You are obviously also missing the bigger picture question/problem, which in the end has turned the sport into something that is much less than it could be. And, I have zero involvement with youth USAH - just happen to know a fair amount about it! Another typical anonymous keyboard warrior.

Try talking to some of their parents - they freely offer that so many of their boys are older than the normal year for the grade = they almost sound proud about it! This is not surprising - all of NE had the same problem in hockey before USAH reigned it in by switching to a mandatory age-based system. So, the question is, "Why was USAH able to make it happen versus USL?".

So no holdbacks on LI? Ok, got it. I didn't know that. Moron. Does USAH run the leagues? Tournaments? There are no leagues in lax, [lacrosse] for brains. Clubs set up tourneys to make money. The more eligible teams, the better.

Why don't you go stick with hockey. They're all used to the bitching.

You might want to go back and smack your teachers for your poor reading comprehension - show me where I said LI has no holdbacks?? And no, I didn't allude to that either. Yes, LI has holdbacks, but it is nowhere near the problem that exists in those other states. You obviously missed the whole "pride" in doing it thing. You are obviously also missing the bigger picture question/problem, which in the end has turned the sport into something that is much less than it could be. And, I have zero involvement with youth USAH - just happen to know a fair amount about it! Another typical anonymous keyboard warrior.

Tell me again how holdbacks are ruining the sport? When they get to middle school, do the 7th graders just play the 7th graders? 8th just play 8th? Is there JV9 for 9th grade and JV10 for 10th? Then surely it can't be possible that an 8th or 9th grader plays on a varsity team then, right? Those teams are just for 17 year olds??? Aren't they??

So tell me again, how are they ruining it? Furthermore, what is your evidence that other states do it more than NY? Because you heard so and so say that the other parents admitted it. Seriously, get a grip. You sound like a little Mary.

Hey, some teams like to cheat to get a t-shirt. That's fine. A team wanted my son to play down a year. We left that team. My son felt like it was cheating and he did not want to do that. Nor did I . I guess some people have no morals so they can brag to their neighbors how great their son is. Lol. Comical.

Anyone arguing that hold backs aren't an advantage is an idiot- go away.

Maybe you can go search out the ton of research out there speaking to issues presented by differences in physical ability /athleticism for just 6 months in the ages PRIOR to puberty? We already know your reading is suspect, so even that might not help you figure out what is the preponderance of opinion. This forum happens to be one for 5th grade - you want to argue that from HS ages, on, that holdbacks matter less, or not all, go do it on the 2020 - 2017 boards. And I'd probably be right there saying just that : at that point, it DOES NOT really matter.

Yes, that's why Outlaws "B" went 4-0 in spring lax jam yesterday. You should have said Outlaws A, Express A & B and 24. Is that a Joke.

That is awesome, almost as great as all the talk on here about how great 24 was. People seem to forget that at 11 kids grow and improve with winter practice. A kid could be a "B" player in August and an "A" player come April.

I don't understand people are talking about one thing and then someone throws out. They don't like 24. I don't get it if you don't like a team that's fine. Let the other people talk we don't want to hear your baby talk. Yesterday was good lacrosse. Express A looked a little out of place. But will bounce back. Igloo looked good. WP looked the same outlaws and 24 Improved a lot For all the other teams all came to play. All in right brackets I think. But over all good day of lacrosse

Very disappointing day

Well the exceptional teams with all the talent in Mass went 0-5-1 against Long Island A, thanks for coming down. Maybe some double hold backs next time.

Not sure I get the rationale to make a comment about Outlaws B being in the top 10 is a joke but 24 being in the top 10 you have no objections to. 24 lost to Mesa yesterday and Outlaws B beat Mesa twice yesterday.

I think everyone agrees with this post. Also Express played their 4th game compared to Igloos 3rd. No excuses but obvious Igloo wanted it more. I still think that 9 out of 10 games will go to Express. Than again, its 10 yr olds so who really cares. Congrats Igloo

A good day is a win by 1 or 2. Wasn't a close game, but I get that no one loves an excuse more than a loser.

Everyone agrees? Ask any person with a pulse the following question, if a team loses by 6, how likely is it that the losing team will definitely win the next 9 consecutive games? I bet you are a big winner in Vegas. "Than" again, you care and you know it.

Nice to hear igloo shaking it up a little and pulling out the W.
This talk of sportsmanship is a joke though right ?How they handled themselves in their loses is the furthest thing from good sportsmanship -

Oh stop...cant just give a compliment and let it go. Always something negative following a positive comment in order to make an excuse or just make yourself feel better. Igloo won against Express and there weren't any issues.When they lost against Wolfpack there weren't any issues either. Kids have friends on all these teams and none of them care once the games are over. The parents on the other hand are a different story. This same story line will repeat itself over and over again in youth lacrosse..kids/teams catch up eventually. Some kids that were stars in 3rd grade get surpassed. I wonder how many new kids Express A took this year? i bet not many. So to the poster who wrote that Igloo had only the kids that didn't make Express, to a degree you are right. Thing is they didn't make the team due to loyalties to kids and not necessarily talent (Whether or not they would have accepted the invite or not i can't say). Other than people spending 100 bucks for a tryout where their kids didn't really stand a fair chance to make the team, i kind of admire some loyalty to the kids that have been there. But if you really thought that out of the 100 or so kids that tried out for this Express team that none of them were better than some existing players...you are just kidding yourself.

Not sure I understand what you're referring to. I witnessed nothing but sportsmanlike behavior when they lost in the championship on Sunday. Great teams and coaching from both sides, great sidelines, great lacrosse, plain and simple. Suck it up express. You lost, it's fine, move on. Be a role model not a cry baby

For those people that like to rank 11y/o lax, anyone want to try after 1st big tourney of the spring. Lol

Lets play nice. They lost and they were fine with it.They were however, playing without some key kids that have been hurt.Hopefully they can make it back for the summer tournaments. I thought they played well vs WP. the big lefty attack on express and little lefty attack on Pack were real good.

The whole WP attack was hard to handle. All 3 of those boys worked well together. They started clicking and it was tough to stop.

Totally on the whole WP attack. I agree. I personally record every game of every team and I spend my days analyzing all the best 10 year old players. Then I rank them, first by team, and then by region. And then I put all their pictures up all over my wall with thumbtacks and every good and bad play, I note in a notebook that I keep on each kid. I really appreciate that there is a place I can come with likeminded people.

Stop

The issue is the lack of D talent at this level, no kids have been able to stop the Big Lefty on Express nor the Little Lefty on WP.
Those 2 are top talent at this grade level and at this age most teams have their weaker kids playing defense.

Not on the top teams. Watch Taz play D (really good athletes and play together), watch WP play D (really good athletes). That's what separates these two

It has nothing to do with weaker kids jackwagon. Defense is very difficult due to the concept of slides and team defense. Most teams focus on offense passing and scoring. You can't have just 3 kids back there that know the slides and how to play defense. You need 7 kids all on the same page playing team defense. It's difficult at every level and it's practiced a lot more then it is at the 5th grade lacrosse.

?? Lefty on express is big and that's obvious but the righty attack is right up there and the kid who plays behind the cage for the WP was real good. One kid on Igloo attack looked pretty solid as well. To pick these 2 boys out and say they are the best at the grade is just foolish. Good players yes but not enough to single them out. It also takes a whole team to make any one player look good and that is something I teach my son everyday at town ball as well as travel. Once they forget that, its all downhill.

Don't think Express A will meet Igloo again this spring or summer, guess it will wait until next season

Agreed, But in that defensive area is where the Express team has sustained a couple of injuries. Hopefully those boys can recover well enough to play this season.

It's the new defensive defensive coach coach igloo has that makes a difference as a father I see the difference

Doubt it.

Defense wins games at any age not gonna have any real success if u put ur weakest players there

Or could it be igloo is practicing 2 to 3 times a week. If outlaws and express did that you would also see a great improvement. They may even be able to give Taz and WP a good game.

Not 2-3x a week but consistently over the winter. Coaches deserve credit for their dedication. WP and Taz are still the top teams in this area. Igloo boys have gotten better which is all you can hope for at this age. If Express is like EVERY other top Express team in the organization they will work things out and be just fine.Good luck to all the teams this tournament season...just go beat the Maryland teams lol!

Tough to compete with Maryland teams. They all go 2x a week and play 1 or 2 games on the weekends.

time to commit to travel programs after this year and say goodbye to PAL. Its more frustrating for decent kids playing with kids who don't know where to go and can't catch or even scoop a ground ball. Plus these PAL coaches are over the top. Most of these coaches know the game, but can't "coach" kids. I know the double schedule is becoming too much and the conflicts are annoying. Its been fun PAL but after 5th grade bye bye.

ELite 8 tournament, we want to wish all the Long Island teams best of luck!

Same boat. My son plays both now. But after this year. We are done with PAL. Our town can't even get a team of 12 5th graders. It's a mix of 4th and 5th.

What town?

Wait the last 3 weeks are conflicted with travel tournaments . Next year all PAL coaches are required to take a full day coaching course and be level 2 certified to continue coaching. There will be more fall out.

PAL is dying. Plain and Simple. Yes you get a town here or there that can put something together and make it work, but the majority does not. Complaining parents, uncommitted kids that show up randomly to practices etc. If your kid wants to play this sport and I mean really wants to play, your best bet is the travel circuit. PAL puts kids on the field that don't belong playing together and that creates a major problem. I understand the $ it costs and that its not doable by some, but the sport as a whole needs to recognize what can happen at this level. You get a defenseman who plays on a tier 1 travel team go up against a kid who only picks up his stick 1 or 2 times a week on PAL, he's either going to get trampled or hurt. What's the sense of it. Than the coaches get the backlash because "my kid should be coached on how to deal with that defenseman" on the flip side I have to watch my sons face as he leaves a field upset from the lack of effort from some his teammates who really don't want to be there. Listen mom and dad if your kid picks up a stick to go to practice and then puts it down until next practice, he's not into the sport. Period. Take some responsibility for this. For those who have a kid that wants to get better, and wants to be on the field, the coaches and players are a much better fit at the Travel level. As much as I want PAL to work the sport has grown so fast that Travel has made itself the place where kids who want it can go out and get it without having to deal with a kid who is just out there because his dad played back in the day and rarely picks up a stick. Didn't make the rules here but its obvious what s going on. Writing those checks is sometimes painful, but the difference in my sons Travel team to his PAL team is light years and I think its worth it. Skill wise. coaching wise, teammate wise and overall IQ wise.

Great, thoughtful posts on PAL. Kudos to those who out there who want to have good dialogue. The ONLY benefit to PAL (just playing Devil's Advocate here) is that these are the kids that your sons/daughters may be playing HS ball with - so there should be some bond - -does not need to be airtight, but general knowledge is good. Otherwise - the way we think of it is this - PAL is dessert and Travel is dinner. Gotta eat right before you can have a little fun. And I love seeing my son hooking up against kids on his Travel team - that always is fun.

Before the weekend, I would have argued against this post. After yesterday's game, I have come around more so to this POV - my son is one of a half-dozen plus travel players on his PAL team, and they have almost no one after them that can even begin to play with them. The game goes south very fast when these better players start trying to do too much to make up for the other players - the aspects of team O and D disappear and a loss turns into a beat down. My son is now not enjoying playing PAL, and I need to decide if playing in the community program is worth risking him losing his enthusiasm for the sport altogether. If the travel kids bail, then the PAL team will not have enough players in general, and would only be a hot mess if they could scrape enough boys together. The only way I can see this working, and that might only be a band aid, is to combine with another age and have an A and B team of each - so, in my son's case, combine the 5th and 6th better players and the the same thing with the sames ages' lesser players - both would play in the 6th grade PAL division, but one would play top tier while the other would play lowest tier. That would work out for the A team - not sure how that would for the B team. Either way, this would be sticky for the parents of players that are on the B team for both ages - too many parents don't want to acknowledge that their little Johnny is both not very talented (which is OK, and could be for numerous reasons - years playing, etc) and/or not nearly as committed as others. Tough spot for the local organization, but they will have to look longer term to see if their action or inaction is going to kill the program.

So don't play PAL if it's so painful, what a bunch of empty headed belly aching. Simple solution dads/moms, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR PAL, see how simple that is. What a crock. PAL isn't going anywhere because there are more kids who want to start playing and learn than so called "studs".

LI Express is horrible - they tell their parents to "Shut-up", like in last years Rhino Tournament - Saratoga Shootout. LI express is a waste of money.... embarrassing to watch the parents get upset with coaching like that... gees... Express Garbage is more like it.

agree with both you guys. in my town some actually look down on you if you are playing travel. insane right?

Great PAL posts. I saw it yesterday as well. My sons game is compromised because of not enough help around him. He tries to do too much on his own to make up for this and either gets double or tripled teamed because no one helps or worse starts to question his own ability in these cases. In the end, community or not the concern is keeping my kid interested in the game he loves. If at one point he hangs up the stick on his own that's fine, but not because he thinks he doesn't have what it takes to carry a team of disinterested boys. Time to focus on Travel, it is the future of where this sport is going on the youth level. If you don't think so, read the new rules. The recruitment rules just blew up the whole scenario. Cant do it to early, but no rule about talking to Travel programs and coaches about their boys they coach. Adapt or become extinct

perfect reply.. love it

Going through this with my third son...

If we are still talking 2024 kids, what you guys see as their game being "compromised" is actually great for their game. Having "to do more" is very beneficial this young. Adversity is GREAT to help them develop.

Listen I bet every person here that is serious enough to complain about the level of play during PAL can list their sons weaknesses right now. Ask them to work on that stuff during PAL practices and games

PAL is cheap and so long as you can fit it in with your travel schedule is extra practice. Playing with their school friends I'm sure they enjoy.

From a dad who has done it, be careful bailing on PAL. I regretted it later

The grades where this is the biggest problem problem are 5th and 6th (and maybe even 4th) - once they get to 7th, they have MS ball to really focus on besides travel. If they play PAL in 7th and 8th (my older son does), it's a distant third, and just more touches for he and the boys that do decide to play I guess if your school's lax program is really poor, then this may not play out that way for these older boys, but I can't speak to that since ours is solid.

You should open up your ears more often. No one is bashing PAL. They want it to work, but the way its set up it is dwindling whether you like it or not. Been coaching for 13 years in PAL. I have never seen more towns scrambling for kids than the last 3 years. When you cant get a squad of 15-20 kids to make a team there is a big issue. We are not talking about 1 or 2 towns, we are talking many towns and its only getting worse. And when you say there are kids who still want to learn and aren't "Studs", check the registrations over the last 3 years...up or down??

What I meant by doing "too much" was that on defense, they are sliding to pick up where the player that should have didn't and now not only is the original player who should have slid in no mans land, the compensating player has left his guy, and this snowballs when you have half of the defense that just doesn't "play". You can't have more than one player covering for another. On O, instead of moving the ball since other players neither pop out or want/can catch a pass, they boys are stuck trying to dodge through double and triple teams = lost possession and zero shots. Middle to better teams see the lack of other threats and pounce on the few that can play - they can go for doubles and triples with very little risk.

I see this too. Was wondering if any town teams out there require their players to meet simple requirements such as running 20 yards cradling the ball with out dropping it, simple accuracy passes, catching a thrown ball 5/8 times, whatever. If so, what tests do you use?

PAL is a learning environment designed to keep kids off the street, not foster a parents need to win through his child.

Oh please STFU all of you...Just pull your kid from PAL pls...I know your kid is the next Rabil. You are ALL DBs with NO life..If you dont like PAL i suggest a tutor for your kids on Sundays because if they act like you they are going to need a really good education...

#StillMissingThePoint !

I have boys that all play travel. I've just been honest with the PAL coaches that travel comes first and they aren't going to be doing back to back practices. All midfielders so they run a bunch as it is. Even with the frustration at times playing with kids just learning to play,they always want to join!

You still don't get it - if our kids leave, there won't be enough kids left for a team, and then those other kids are SOOL. The mere fact that we as parents care about that fact, and don't just pull our kids out and would like to figure out how to make this work for EVERYONE means we are trying to find a solution. You must be a dream to have as an employee - no solutions coming from you! The only DB here is apparently YOU!

The purpose of pal is to provide an opportunity for all kids from different social and economic backgrounds to get introduced and participate in the sport, it wasn't intended to develop ur kid into a d1 lax player, not to say there aren't some really good town teams out there in which kids can thrive. Obviously theres lots of frustration with with the way pal is run/operated and if ur a parent who feels that way and ur kid has the talent and interest in the sport beyond what pal can offer, look elsewhere, there are plenty of club teams salivating to take ur money.

The only way to make pal work is to make it more attractive than joining a club team. There's no doubt that if pal brought in paid coaches who truly have the desire to teach the fundamentals and principles of the game and teams were balanced according to skill level, more kids would stay. As a parent I would have no problem paying an extra few bucks for better training. It would still be a bargain compared to club fees.

Tough spot for the local organization, but they will have to look longer term to see if their action or inaction is going to kill the program.

Here is a solution. Instead of towns, have districts of 4-5 neighboring towns. would be able to get 2-3 teams in each district. An A team, a b team and a developmental team. That's way each group would be happy and it would create an environment where kids could learn the game without incident or injury.

I believe most of the people that are frustrated on here have their kids playing in travel. We all want our kids to play for their town with their friends. I will only speak on my son, although I'm probably not alone. He is very competitive and wants his team to win. But when 1/2 the kids can't throw or catch he gets very frustrated. When your team gets the crap beaten out of them on a weekly basis, how is that fun?

Travel team cost 4 to 5 thousand, PAL 200 bucks. It should be light years ahead. So 10 or 11 year old kids , who want to attempt to try a new sport, shouldn't be allowed

i love the fact that when you mention your kid plays travel the first response is "you think your kid is going D1". No, how about the fact he loves the game and wants to play with a group of kids on his level. Is that so wrong? Than of course people follow with how much we pay. Oh I guess when little johnny plays travel baseball, soccer, hockey, or basketball they are free? Stop criticizing 10 year old kids because they play more than one sport and your offended he is not dedicated only to you. Your the head case, not the kids!

Not all clubs cost that much. And no one is saying they shouldn't. But the current PAL format in broken. Registration is down. Smaller town programs with not get enough kids to have a team. Then what?

When the pal director has 3 high schools in the district and a travel team yet still gets to put his own teams in the lower brackets, you can't expect him to care about your teams. Last season in PAL. Rather have scrimmage games with equally matched towns on times and dates that work for us.

The solution has already been presented offer what club teams do at the pal level, build it and they will come....

So in a nutshell, what the parents want out of their PAL tuition is:

Run by certified trainers
Paid coaches
Broken down into an A & B team
3 practices a week
Districts merged and the best of the best put on A, second tier is B and third team is developmental.
Head Coaches of the school districts to run the program.

All for the bargain basement price of about $200!

Does this look logical, reasonable or even sane to anyone?

PAL puts kids on the field that don't belong playing together and that creates a major problem. I understand the $ it costs and that its not doable by some, but the sport as a whole needs to recognize what can happen at this level. You get a defenseman who plays on a tier 1 travel team go up against a kid who only picks up his stick 1 or 2 times a week on PAL, he's either going to get trampled or hurt. What's the sense of it. Than the coaches get the backlash because "my kid should be coached on how to deal with that defenseman" on the flip side I have to watch my sons face as he leaves a field upset from the lack of effort from some his teammates who really don't want to be there. Listen mom and dad if your kid picks up a stick to go to practice and then puts it down until next practice, he's not into the sport. Period. Take some responsibility for this. For those who have a kid that wants to get better, and wants to be on the field, the coaches and players are a much better fit at the Travel level. As much as I want PAL to work the sport has grown so fast that Travel has made itself the place where kids who want it can go out and get it without having to deal with a kid who is just out there because his dad played back in the day and rarely picks up a stick. Didn't make the rules here but its obvious what s going on. Writing those checks is sometimes painful, but the difference in my sons Travel team to his PAL team is light years and I think its worth it. Skill wise. coaching wise, teammate wise and overall IQ wise.

Before the weekend, I would have argued against this post. After yesterday's game, I have come around more so to this POV - my son is one of a half-dozen plus travel players on his PAL team, and they have almost no one after them that can even begin to play with them. The game goes south very fast when these better players start trying to do too much to make up for the other players - the aspects of team O and D disappear and a loss turns into a beat down. My son is now not enjoying playing PAL, and I need to decide if playing in the community program is worth risking him losing his enthusiasm for the sport altogether. If the travel kids bail, then the PAL team will not have enough players in general, and would only be a hot mess if they could scrape enough boys together. The only way I can see this working, and that might only be a band aid, is to combine with another age and have an A and B team of each - so, in my son's case, combine the 5th and 6th better players and the the same thing with the sames ages' lesser players - both would play in the 6th grade PAL division, but one would play top tier while the other would play lowest tier. That would work out for the A team - not sure how that would for the B team. Either way, this would be sticky for the parents of players that are on the B team for both ages - too many parents don't want to acknowledge that their little Johnny is both not very talented (which is OK, and could be for numerous reasons - years playing, etc) and/or not nearly as committed as others. Tough spot for the local organization, but they will have to look longer term to see if their action or inaction is going to kill the program.

Here is a solution. Instead of towns, have districts of 4-5 neighboring towns. would be able to get 2-3 teams in each district. An A team, a b team and a developmental team. That's way each group would be happy and it would create an environment where kids could learn the game without incident or injury.

Sounds good. But have 2 teams per district. A tournament team and a developmental team. You can bring kids up to tourney team if appropriate. Then as kids develope you can have more teams. If kids want to move up, it will promote them keeping the stick in their hand and getting better. If not, then they still get to play lacrosse.

Schedule for Koehler tournament just came out, sad to see age brackets with 4 or 5 teams in it total, competition for town teams is becoming sparse, really getting to point of not being worth investing a day at the field..

Travel Clubs build a spring league with the best clubs competing every week like they do in Maryland. The travel kids would be challenged and happy and the PAL league would continue to develop players new to the sport.

Win Win.---- Do it!

All coaches should be certified
Do not need paid coaches.
A & B would be good
2 a week
Districts make sense
HS coaches involved in offseason training would be good.

That's gonna happen. But when it does, most PAL programs will cease to exist. Will not have enough kids to form teams outside of the large school districts. This convo is an attempt to tell PAL that they need to change.

Yup - that's the point that the other genius can't get through his thick head.

Need to change with the times. This is the wave of the future like it or not. Pal MUST adjust or die out. Either they work around travel teams or step it up. Now all you here is PAL directors and coaches complaining about travel. Or just make Pal for developing players, but be careful what you wish for. Coaching a bunch of 5th 6th graders who still can't catch or throw can be frustrating.

Blatant was last weekend

You can wish upon a star but PAL isn't changing, they won't raise the price because that would put certain people out of the market. It's going to stay the same, and the directors are going to say thanks, and if it dies it dies. So might as well leave now and sign up for the travel team you think your kid belongs on.

There is an A and B bracket for each age. About 8-12 teams per age. That's a nice turnout, except when you think about how many town teams are on LI and not competing in a single tourney.

Since when did they change mother's day to Saturday?? And yes blatant was last week and also had small age group divisions, just seems only big tournaments are those that combine town and club or just exclusively club, just saying...

once the PAL programs begin to stop. club teams are going to start extending their season to begin earlier and end later since there will not be a spring PAL season and no town teams will be playing in the late summer tournaments. then it will cost 4k in tuition

does anyone else feel as though there should be a better tie breaker that goals against in tournament play? can be a bit unfair when you have more teams in a bracket that there are games. if one team has an easier schedule they will obviously give up less goals than a team that plays a harder schedule.

Not surprised after the results of their last 2 tourneys. Maybe the B team can help you guys out

Fields are a joke. Not one of them is regulation. Half are rocky dirt and no where close to flat. Creases are randomly placed as well as the size of the restraining boxes. Ok maybe for towns tourney but not worth it for travel

What a dbag!! And I'm being kind.. Obviously ur little 5th grade travel superstar is not worthy of playing on such crap fields, but for lowly town kids it's ok. Im sure ur not happy either with the food vending truck because it's beneath ur travel kid who likes his food catered.. Did I mention ur a dbag!!

I saw a S2S kid playing with Manhassett 2024 PAL team. Is that necessary? The kid was there whole team never came out.

You gotta admit the fields are terrible, and a backstop and some balls at the end line would be a bonus.

they won't be happy when the games count and someone is keeping the score! lol

Funny because they went 7-0 in fall tournaments you idiot.

Playing in the fall against nobody. Come on, cut it out stats Mommy. Now I want to see their upcoming schedule so when they play any halfway decent team, we know what will happen.

Not sure where all the hate came from against team 24. Too many drinks again??? Missed another mortgage payment? Wife banging sons coach for playing time? It's ok, If you need a hug I am here for you little buddy. Now go get your shine box.. My shoes are dirty.

how did team 24 do in spring lax jam?

What's my point? Really? if you don't know, then you need to go to different tournaments. And I think my last post is a fair critique of a for profit/non-charity event.
On a running time tournament, it isn't right to not have fence just beyond the end line and extra balls kicking around either with the Refs (they have pockets, right?) or on the ground. Chasing balls into team tents can and should easily be avoided.

What does your son have to do for all your complexes to go away? Calm down. No one is still thinking about what a loser you were in high school, other than you. I have a feeling no one thinks about you, for anything you've done, ever.... If only your own dedication was second to none.

Ok. Today was just miserable. But next week Blatant spring jam. Suppose to be a nice day. Should be fun day for lacrosse. Who comes out on top?

Chosen one will be out of lacrosse in a year or so. Only so much a kid can take from father pushing so much. I have seen it numerous times throughout my years coaching and my boys playing. kids that are pushed like that get burned out early, is not fun anymore for them.

Becomes like a job! So agree - let kids be kids! The kid is ~10 years old.

Is the Blatant tournament this weekend both Saturday and Sunday?

Who cares? Kid is a great athlete. What he does or where and how often he plays is not our concern. Worry about your own kids and their teams and schedules.

For this age group. It is only Saturday. Spring tourneys are usually just Saturday due to PAL. Older boys play sundays. 8th grade and up

Blatant schedule is out. Well done getting it out this early.

I think we can all agree how the north bracket will turn out on Saturday. But I think the south bracket will be really fun to watch. Express OReilly, outlaws gold and force 2024 should all be close fun games to watch. Not sure about storm (would think they would be better with all the kids st try outs)or the Ducks.

you know nothing. those 2 teams would give very other team with the exception of tax and maybe wp a good game. there are players on both teams that could make any team out there. but they remain on these teams because of coaches and the lack of parents trying to relive their failed athletic careers through their children.

Watching B lax is like watching paint dry

What a jerk! There are some very talented kids that still play on a B team. They work hard and I enjoy watching them so speak for yourself.
Now baseball is like watching paint dry not B lax

Why are people such jerks? You really need to get a life outside of lax.

A Team or no Team, or PAL. Better get out the checkbook for those privates!

Futures will drop out of the tournament so it may switch brackets up.

There are a bunch of Express kids who are also on futures. Dealema!

It'll change. But isn't it only 4 kids? 4 kids don't make a team.

Yes the 4 kids are on the better end and without them playing it does dramatically hurt the team.who should not be in the A bracket anyway.It was a mistake.

No team 24 this Saturday??? Guess they still have not practiced enough to be ready for either bracket. C team

Hey bracket police, maybe they want to see how they measure up, even if it means getting beat on. You would shame them, I choose to say good for them and good luck.

They should come close. If they started practicing in September lets say and 4 practices a month they are probably hovering around 35-40. 50 practices will not cut it at the end of the day and you certainly won't attract talent losing.

Where is team Long Island,I have never seen this team at any tral tournament??
Are they a travel team or a town team.
Once the RVC team backs out the bracket will go to sh**
We all know Outlaws will not have to actually play the two better teams in bracket

RVC isn't backing out. They will play.

They are usually at Forsberg. They live t shirts. Strange because they have a good team. Maybe MG pissed off so many people they can't show at the better tournaments. Or they just avoid WP and Taz

You can be a doer or a watcher. My son would rather play. As for me and my family, we are past our playing days and now we'd rather watch our son have fun playing. And you can go to Hofstra and put on your ND gear (even though you never went to school there) and get your pompoms out and cheer and if they win, you can talk after about how you did it. Who's the loser?

Which weekend would be more convenient for you? Do you really think its that easy? Next week is memorial day and then every other weekend until August is booked with other tournaments.

YOUR small #99 son gets no playing time. Defensive coach--hah--lets see how do this weekend. You are the loser! Keep trolling here, at work and in Ltown.

They do their own tourney at Mitchel Field the second weekend of June. Most of their youth teams aren't doing any other June tourneys (Wink's recruiting time) and they'll add three more in July. The older youth teams are doing NXT, fl$ in 3d and RPI.

Yeah, cool. My son is on a good team, so we are gonna play this weekend then head up to foxboro next weekend and enjoy the semifinals from club seats in a real stadium. But you have fun big guy

Pack beats Taz at the Blatant today in pool play. Discuss.

Good game. That's going to be all summer long Who tops who. But the funny part is igloo talking all this smack about express and. They got there [lacrosse] whipped by them today. That's funny.

You can see that the boys in this age group are getting bether A and B. I will tell you who looked terrible was Outlaws Select. Kids don't want to play for the coach and the club is putting out emails asking for players for a Select team in late spring. Tell tale sign of major issues.... Select lost to RVC a town team, nuff said..

Outlaws B will beat Outlaws Select, no question..That being said Outlaws B parents are total white trash.The Mothers are coming straight off a Tender trap shift, to the game. Their coach is a fat slob who needs to take a spin class or 100.

Who won the championship game?

real classy express - by the way how come you son didn't play once during that game?

Taz still tops in 2024. wp goalie played great in championship otherwise would have been a 5 or 6 goal loss

Stay classy Express.

Was a great day of lacrosse. The south division had some great competitive games. Including the championship won in OT by Outlaws Gold. All the teams played very well.

Team Storm won the championship 5-4 after the outlaws coach tried bullying the refs into changing the score in their favor because they couldn't legitimately beat Storm. Sad that 11 yr olds are being taught by a coach that cheating is ok. Legacy 5th graders go home with both championships!!!

Don't know what this is about, but what kind of a [lacrosse] calls out a child's number. That's how low this [lacrosse] is getting? We are going to call out numbers now? Play fair. Put your own kid's number and team up now. You are lower than a troll.

Lmao. Call the whaaambulance for the Storm moms. Final score outlaws 6 storm 5. Was a great game though and all the kids from both team should be proud. Storm parents and coaches. Not so much.

I was on the sidelines watching, and to be honest I did not kn W what the score was. But your own coach said the Outlaws had a goal disallowed. Which did not happen, according to officials. And if it did, shame on the refs for not telling anyone. Only storm had goal disallowed for too many when on the field. You do not know outlaws coach but I will say he is a stand up guy, and would not cheat to win a game. With that being said. It was an amazing game and you should be proud of your kids. Both teams played as hard as they could.

A goal from each team was taken away. Storm scored with too many kids on the field, outlaw's had a penalty on them and scored. Later on in the game the outlaws director told referree to add the outlaw goal that was taken away.

That's the furthest thing from the truth. The Outlaws did not get a goal disallowed. Storm should be embarrassed by their coach screaming at 11year olds and their coach as they accepted their championship t shirts! It's not the MLL or the final four but to stoop to that level is disgusting

All the scores on tourney machine were all biased to not show how bad outlaws did in the entire tournament !
Outlaws 2024B was the only OUTLAW team to make a championship on Saturday . PB was relentless and clearly gave a goal to OUTLAWS and even the refs didn't agree. Sad display for outlaws starting from the top. Keep the shirt - we were measured and anyone who was there knows what happened.
Outlaws continue to sink deeper and deeper into a black hole of travel lax.

Let's be honest here...both coaching staffs are a bunch maniacs. You would think they were closing down the buffet table the way the Outlaws coach rants and raves. You take one kid off that team and he's out of a job. Storm has definitely gotten better over the years but still can't close out in the big games.

B Teams are a revolving door . Very difficult to keep any continuity especially in the watered down world of travel lax. Legacy had a lot of teams in championship games .something to be said for that.

TAZ/PACK played great lacrosse on Saturday. Head and shoulders above the rest. Long Island will be well represented next week in Maryland.

Agree. Enough with the animosity. These teams should love that they have each other to compete against. Each one of these players is getting better because of it. Great Lacrosse for 2024 boys. Now go down to MD and get it done

Come on. Stop it. Both goalies made great saves. You just cant stop can you?

Who is better Taz or Pack? Has Pack beaten Taz?

The 1st part makes no sense. How can the scores be biased? The Outlaws had a horrible day. As far as 2024 b championship. The argument I heard from Storm coach was the Outlaws had a goal disallowed. That actually did not happen. It was a great game. Every kid out there should be proud of the way they played and every parent should be proud as well. One team received a shirt, but it really should be about more than just that.

How can a team have a penalty on them and score? If there was an offensive penalty the game is stopped immediately. Maybe storm had a delayed penalty and the outlaws scored.

Taz sure is collecting a lot of t-shirts though, huh? The best play their best when it counts!

Watching the 2024B game I saw on two occasions the outlaw coach( taller one) stomp over to the score table and physically change the score card in front of that poor kid sitting there. The outlaw's goal was 110% disallowed, I heard the referee say, he could not get his flag out quick enough, the outlaw goal did not count due to a penalty. Many minutes later the disallowed goal was added.

Flag out quick enough? Why did he not blow his whistle and stop the play? Cause when the offense has the ball there is no delayed penalty. But here is something we can agree on. The officials were awful all day. To all teams. They have zero control of these games.

im an express father and have to say seeing taz and pack play is fun to watch

Why does everyone remember the too many men on the field but no one remembers the penalty on the Outlaws that disallowed their goal?

Which goal and what was the penalty?

Stop with all this. Everyone was aware of the mistake including the REFS. Outlaws did not win this one. SAD days for PB. Doesn't he know someone that can get him a shirt without cheating?

There was no score keeper which was the fault of the tournament. So both coaches flipped the scoreboard. Storm scored a goal but it was disallowed due to too many men on the field. They tried to score it on the board. They had 11 men on the field and 7 in their offensive zone.

How about the fact that the tournament director gave the win to Storm and the championship but then states later that the outcome wasn't changed and that he has no connections with the Outlaws team!?! Did daddy make them give the win to the outlaws? Or was he afraid of their coach too after he screamed and carried on at the refs to get his way? So unprofessional and embarrassing to watch. There are little kids on the field. Future men. Watching an adult throw a tantrum to win a $2 T-shirt.

How did he give the win to storm? He was sitting there when the game went into OT. Was that goal disallowed too? Lmao. Still no one can tell me the penalty that caused the outlaws goal to be disallowed.

When did the outlaws have a goal disallowed? What was the penalty? You don't know cause it never happened. Stop your crying mom. The t shirt wasn't that good.

Storm shouldn't even have been in the final based on their lose to Express. Blatant rules stated tie-breakers in the following order:

Points - Tied
Head to Head - Express beat both Storm and Force, the other 2-1 teams
Goal differential
Goals against

Only reason the Storm Daddies got in was because they got to play, and beat up on the Hitmen.

The Ref said after the game outlaws scored on a legacy delayed penalty and the taller ref was confused and that is where the disallowed goal conspiracy came up. You can't score a goal when you have an offensive penalty cause the play is whistled dead.

HE"S A TRASH CAN

Funny thing is through all of this. Why is the Outlaws director PB making a game decision in a game 1 of his teams is playing in at a tournament run by Blatant. I thought there was no affiliation. You can't have it both ways. Wonder who decided the tie breaker for this 1 because it is clear to me the wrong teams were in.

Did you dream that after your box wine on Saturday night? The only people throwing a tantrum was your coach KK and you and the rest of the white trash parents. It was not the division 1 championship loser. Stop crying and get over it.

the reason it was clear to you was because you have no clue what you are talking about. the 1st tie breaker is head to head, in a 2 way tie with points. this was a 4 way tie so it then goes by goal diff. maybe you run your tournament differently(sarcasm) but most tournaments are set up with these rules in place.

there was no score keeper there genius. both coaches where responsible for keeping their own teams score. so you already lied and obviously have no clue what you are talking about. i will just assume everything else you said is a lie. bye

this is wrong. head to head only is used in a two way tie. this was a four way tie so GD is used.

Who was PB to make any decision? Just give me that answer and I will concede all the rest.

Actually me and my buddy's go to Gossip. We can afford the extra $ for the dance, while you are working 3 extra shifts to pay for your kids lacrosse lessons. Do yourself a favor, spend the money on some botox for your ugly wifes. They were making the whole tournament sick. Couldn't find a pretty 1 in the bunch of wilder beast's.

Any businessman will tell you. Never mix business and family. Blatant took a hit on this one. Regardless of who was right or wrong it should have been the refs call or at least a blatant rep. Not PB who's team was playing. even if his team was not playing still not his call that's why you hire refs as Dopey as they might be you still hire them. Live with the call on the field

Actually me and my buddy's go to Gossip. We can afford the extra $ for the dance, while you are working 3 extra shifts to pay for your kids lacrosse lessons. Do yourself a favor, spend the money on some botox for your ugly wifes. They were making the whole tournament sick. Couldn't find a pretty 1 in the bunch of wilder beast's.

I'm sure you do. I will leave an extra $20 at Xmas under my garbage can lid when you pick up my trash.

And the call was Outlaws won. Good advice

Let's see, "me and my buddy's" completely incorrect sentence structure and it is buddies. "ugly wifes" incorrect, it is wives. "wilder beast", no such animal, they are Wildebeests. You are an ignorant moron who does not know how to spell or use correct grammar. Less BOTC, more Encyclopedia Britannica.

Oh. Your pissed they didn't tip you enough for serving coffee and passing out pretzels all day? Sorry, will get you next time. Btw. Your Roach coach was a little beat up looking. Maybe once you catch up on your child support you can get it cleaned. I'm a pretty good lawyer and could probably get family court to give you better visitation rights.

Outlaws WON Fair and Square- Stop your crying and complaining

You misunderstood, I wasn't serving the food. I was behind them in line trying to figure out how the [lacrosse] they got out of the cage. I figured they chewed through the lock.. Since your a good lawyer, you may be able to get a class action on the lock maker though. Good luck.

This guy just crushed the lawyer. Very funny stuff. Let's move on to the next topic. B teams looking much better. No Pac or Taz but nice improvement for sure.

The guy with the jokes just made my day. Thanks...

Is this the same coach who was running across the fields after express/outlaw game holding his cell phone in his hand screaming out for Pat?

The jokes about the Outlaw B mom's were insanely funny. I didn't see them but I will make sure to look next tournament. "Chewed through the lock" hahahahaha.

Lol. Funny thread tonight. I will look for them as well. Although in the 3 years of lacrosse tournaments etc. I kinda feel like that about most team moms.

This could only come from a sachem parent. Must've been a good game. And from what I heard, the coach that got thrown out was sticking up for his kids because the game was getting too rough and the refs weren't calling penalties. Or did the Sachem coach have those refs in his pocket too?? Did he throw another hissy fit to get his way again??

That's so funny! Guess you're as big of a bully as your coach. Makes sense that you'd keep playing for him. Sad that the only reason the B team even exists is bc it's the only team that's bringing money into the outlaw organization.

Let's put this all into perspective. They are 11 yr olds. Was it the end of the world? No. But they're 11. And I hope that they don't see any of this!

Did the coach cheat? Was it the refs fault? Or was it the tournaments bowling? As a parent who was on the sideline who did not have a child on the field the tournament directors should be completely embarrassed about the way they handled the entire situation.

I hope our organizations directors realize how horribly run the tournament was and that they pull out of all future blatant tournament because of this. Shouldn't they have put the kids first over their own agendas and the money that was coming into their pockets?

What a disgrace it is to see grown adults "bullying" others. How on earth does appearance have ANYTHING to do with lacrosse??? Isn't this what we teach our children NOT to do?!

Are these really adults writing all this nonsense? Come on folks. Enough

Sorry to break it to you, this whole site has nothing to do with Lacrosse. It only exists for people to act like savages because they won't be found out. If they had to put their names on it nobody would be on here. That being said, that guy had some funny jokes.

Just read the last 2 days comments. Completely disgusting and disgraceful. It's 11 y/o lacrosse. Get your priorities in order.

I think it is fair to say that every team on the list is a threat. They're all good. But Madlax is tops. They just won HoCo championship and they're the only team that beat every team this Spring. Madlax went 3-0 against Bethesda. Madlax beat T9d1 solidly. That is the game where Madlax was winning by 5 or 6 goals and T9d1 coach lost it. Madlax beat BL in March, but BL gave them a good game. I think it was a 1 goal game. Madlax's only loss this Spring was against Hawks. I am told it was a fluky 1 goal loss during Spring break and they were missing their best scorer. While the Hawks have some talented offense, the championship game really wasn't that close. Madlax was winning 5-1 when it gave up a small run at end of first half. But then they jumped back to a three goal lead and killed clock most of the second half.

For those not going to Elite 8. Whose in JDRF next weekend.

Other than the Hawks who they haven't played yet the WP beat every team on this list at least once. What happens next week who knows, but if we are going to look at past games that is the stats. I'm sure there is great lacrosse coming up and it should be close games throughout the weekend. Every team there has won or lost or had a close game with each other. Next weekend will tell a lot. Coaching will have a lot to do with it

JDRF is invite only this year? That said, it will probably be a lot of the same teams as recent years.

Prediction just for fun:

Madlax Taz and Wolfpack will be top teams. I say Madlax and Taz are last 2 standing

91 MD is legit. Mark Millon has his son on the team so lots of focus. Cable Maddux, owner of Madlax coaches and has his boys on the '24 team.

But WP has also lost to Madlax, BLC and Taz. Brotherly love has lost 3 one goal games to Madlax. Team 91 MD lost by 1 to Taz. Hawks beat Madlax and lost to team 91 MD by 1.

Should be interesting.

Bethesda went 2-5 in MD 2024 AA division this spring. MD 9d1 beat them 12-3. Madlax is tough as ever, and the Hawks are solid. Hawks split with 9d1 MD this year, both games went into OT. Should be good games.

All of these teams will match up differently. Madlax will most likely win it.

It is set up for 91pack to win

Will Millon be screaming about Madlax's "9th grader" at his own tournament? Brace yourselves if you've never experienced him in person.

Blame that directly on PB, guy is a complete jerk. Just look at how his team's did last week. Maybe instead of giving the kids a "rating" the parents should rate him. He gets a 0/5. No improvement..

The Outlaws vs RVC was a very tight game. The Express vs. RVC was not a tight game.
They are a decent town team but beating Outlaws easy? They won by one and were down at some points. How is that beating them easily? It was a good game. Express beat them by 3 goals and out skilled them easily. I wouldn't call that a tight game. But yes they are a decent town team, just the way you phrased it was way off.

Wasn't an express parent who wrote it but good try. Was an observation watching your mother's slurring there words at the food truck.. Ordering burgers like drunk animals whIle the kids play in the field. Total trash bags. As for the coach, he won't make it through the season. He has a heart attack in his future if he doesn't lose 100lbs.

Just an observation -but that rvc town team beat Outlaws select easily.Then played Express A tight ,and was told some of there better players played for Express in that game. Thats a good town team!! & Not from rvc next town over

Outlaws A is no longer in the conversation regarding ANY "A" Team. Its over.

Rolled by a town team. To future Outlaw parents, save your $ invest it in college.

Outlaws select is def not in the AA class with WP/Taz/igloo or schwajle. But they are only 11. A coaching change. Add 3 or 4 player and hard work in offseason could get them ack in a conversation.

Without a coaching change at Outlaws Select nothing else you mentioned will happen. I predict a mass exodus if the coach doesn't leave. The boys hate playing for him...sadly. They are only 11 and should be having fun, but they aren't and it is obvious.

You obviously have know idea what you are talking about. Outlaws Select hit a rough patch last weekend. Some people are making it like they were beating Taz and Wolfpack the last few years. Besides last week they have always played the bottom half of the A group closely. We have a tight knit group of kids and parents. There me be one or two parents who are cancers on the sideline but that is on every team. The coach knows who they are and how to deal with them. No coaching change is needed. He just needs some help. Type A personality and he tries to do it all on his own. My son knows this team is not the best but it's the coach he keeps returning for. Can he be a little more supportive of the kids when a mistake is made absolutely but this is the real world we are living in. If you go to work everyday looking to get a pat on the [lacrosse] for doing a good job you better wake up. My kid also plays other sports which at 11 years old is important not sure if kids on the elite teams have time to play other sports or even enjoy their youth.

Unfortunately I know exactly what I am talking about. The parents are just reacting to what they see in front of them. It is never a positive experience for the boys. Whatever you want to believe the kids don't have fun there. If your son does like the coach, that is great, stay there. I would bet $ he is in the minority. This has nothing to do with an adult going to work. This is a 10 year old kid who is there to learn and have fun. All the coach does in a rare practice is run plays. Lastly if you think enjoying your youth is getting yelled at by a coach like BM then I am happy for u, but not me. All the points you made were all reasons to run not walk.

this will be an all Long Island final.....

Honestly Eric Spanos is just to good

Freedom 2024 is the best team in the nation. With Ryan Shannon leading the defense and Jake McMahon leading the offense, they are unstoppable.

Of course, MM is helping the 9d1 teams by putting Madlax, Taz, and Hawks in the same pool. But let's say Madlax goes 3-0 (which is a big IF, because Taz and Hawks are both great teams), and Wolfpack goes 3-0. That would mean 91pack likely plays Taz in semi and likely plays Madlax in final. There is no easy road to the championship for any of the teams. Going to be a slugfest for everyone.

Are the 9th grader and the Chosen One going to play each other in Bel Air?

Hawks are just not that good. Madlax will cruise over them with full roster in attendance. Looneys beat them in Spring and they only won 2 games all year.

Defense is bigger (new kids) and the FO middie is now 6'3. He'll draw 3 kids on his way to the rack and dump it down if he can't get his hands free. Best bet is to shut him off and then they will spread out the rest of the offense and work the best match ups.

Good luck stopping the FO middie. He gave our team fits. He can light it up from 15 yds. out. Went left and right. But when you over play him, you get burned somewhere else. They have lots of weapons on offense. Even better on defense. They have a kid that is just as big as the FO middie that plays like a high schooler.

I watched the rvc/express game as i have friends on both. Even though express won every face off .rvc kept it close.I saw no difference in skill level. especially on the offensive side. it looks like express has a couple of week links on what could be a very strong club team.

Let me guess he daddy's son plays offense and wants a spot on the team next year. Tip - coaches don't like crazy parents.

Anyone notice the recent changes to the Elite 8 divisions? Now BL, Madlax, Hawks, and Taz are in same division, while 9d1 NY & MD are in division with arguably two weakest teams in tourney (Igloo & BLC). BL used to be in their division but they swapped them out for Igloo. That's down-right disappointing 9d1! Don't stack the divisions in your favor to increase chances of being in championship bracket. Pull up your skirt and balance out the divisions!

If that's the case then they shouldn't be playing. However, assuming that's an assumption and not based on fact, they should keep divisions evenly balanced as much as possible, based on what they know to be the true. Madlax and Hawks finished 1 and 2, respectively in HOCO league and Taz beat up on 9d1 in NY this spring-- what sense does it make to put those 3 teams plus BL in one division while putting Igloo (not good, shouldn't be in tourney) and BLC (went 2-7 in HOCO league) in their division. Essentially guaranteeing them a spot in championship Sunday. Meanwhile arguably best 4 teams in tourney will beat up on each other on Sat. leaving two of those good clubs playing in consolation games on Sun. Sad... Someone should say something to tournament directors...oh, nevermind.

Agree. BLC and Igloo should not be in same division, unless trying to ensure at least one of them gets a win, but that can happen on Sunday. 9d1 teams should be in different divisions, as should Hawks and Madlax since they already played each other twice.
WP, BL, Hawks, and BLC in one division. 9d1MD, Madlax, Taz, and Igloo in other division. WP and Taz just played each other twice so no need for them to be in same division. Same for Hawks and Madlax. Madlax beat BLC 3 times this spring so no need for them to be in same division. Make sense. I see WP, BL, Madlax, and Taz in Sunday final. Should make for a good championship bracket.

Now you've got 3 of the 4 best teams in one division and 3 of the 4 worst in the other. Enough said.

Madlax and Taz are the best two team and should be in opposite brackets. Then split the two 91 team and who cares about the rest.

??? WP laid into Madlax last time they played twice. One game was 14-4. They also split with Taz this spring. Go easy on the shout outs Mom. Or at least I hope your a mom.

Just last weekend Wolfpack beat Taz the first game then Taz beat them in the Championship. I don't think one team is better then the other. They are 11 years old and games are one and two point wins.

Taz won last 6 out of 7. They are better

Relax with who is in this division or who is in that division, kids are 10 and 11 years old. Let them play ,you sit back and watch. Don't be that nerd guy who complains about meaningless bullish:t.

Stop your crying, if your team is the best just tell little Johnnie to go out and win. It's his Tournament either suck it up or don't play. Just stop your whining, it filters down to your kids.

Not sure why anyone is scared of BL. The only team on this list they have beaten is igloo (and lost to them also)

I have seen them play. They have a dominant togo, stud attack, and are a very good team. I think they are middle of the pack but certainly don't think anyone should fear them.

Things didn't workout the way 91 Wanted at blatant.

usually schedules are out on the wed before. Need to know times so we can adjust schedule, please post. Thanks guys

Any Outlaw parents know which 5th grade team is going to JDRF tomorrow?

Outlaws Gold 2024

Which Sachem team is playing in the Summer Faceoff?

Sachem Rising

Where can you find the JDRF schedule?

I don't think they posted it. Years past it was on the Massapequa lax club site.

Schedule was sent to each teams director. It's not being posted anywhere

We will find out tomorrow. Taz was impressive today going 3-0. Rest of semi finals teams go 2-1. Taz plays 91 Md and WP play Madlax in semi's. The best game of the day was Taz verses Madlax. Madlax was up 2 with 3 minutes to play. Taz fights back to win on OT.

And the most pathetic post of the day goes to guess who? it's so apparent that your only purpose was to boast about your 5th grader. No wonder no one likes the TAZ parents. I hope anyone but Taz takes it home just to shut your pathetic excuse for parents up. One other thing- I hope the owners of your organization read this junk. If they do, they need to clean up their sidelines. The cursing and vile behavior is a disgrace to Lacrosse. I have been around for a very long time and have never heard/seen parents behave like such neanderthals.

Thanks for the update- Long Island should be proud- tops in both brackets.
angry man needs to enjoy the ride and stop hating . "Anyone but TAZ" - your soft .

How did BLC get left out with a head to head win over WP and an identical record? What was the tie breaker?

It just got awful quiet in Taz and MadLax land...

Three way tie is goal differential.

Good weekend. 91Md knocked off Tax in OT, and 91 Wolfpack beat Madlax. 91 Wolfpack won championship 6-4 over 91 MD. Great talent all the way around.

No hate. It would just be nice to sit and watch a good game of lacrosse without hearing F-bombs going off by your spectators. It's distracting and disrespectful. You're making a bad name for yourselves in the lacrosse community throughout the east coast.

Taz is just another step from sinking like a STONE.

Igloo should have stayed home.

Does Igloo have 2 teams at the 2024 level?
How do they go from the Elite 8 tournament

It's the whole organization

Idk what you what you were watching or listening too BUT there wasn't anyone cursing. As a parent of a team that wasn't playing TAZ we sat and watched their games.....there was only calls of who to guard and encouragement. Actually very freaking in the lacrosse world. So stop trying to bad mouth teams. We actually watched the whole team and parents have a nice dinner at the blue turtle that night!!! Guess what the kids were kind and and engaging with all. Parent respectful as well

The "Chosen One" should stick to doing his lacrosse moves on his demo tapes and Instagram account and not be the "selfish one". Unfortunately he is only ONE of the players on attack to kill it for his team!!! Let's not even breakdown the defense- last year weren't they the drive to this team??? The poor middies can't get a break. Transition and then humped up - -wow how the mighty had fallen!!
Lot of SELFISHNESS on attack with the stone and the other small guy on attack. They only pass to each other!!! Just a question on who's gonna choke it up 1st!!!!
Top teams know who's to play, too bad TAZ could've been great!
Can't want till the next BIG tourneys....

Or Taz in FL$ tourney playing nobody. Life is hard when you can't get the NLF invite.

Pack. Period

Agreed. He is all In for himself. The chosen one will sink the TAZ team along with some others. Should trim the fat but too bad they don't have a 3 deep line on attack. Maybe should take some of their 3 deep middies and move them to attack- might seem some hidden chosen ones -LMAO!!!

Is the chosen one #2 for taz?

Pear shaped stone.

Just in Taz playing in the Jimmy McGrath in late July. Big match up with Mama's Boys. I can hear the excuses now, it is just STONE's throw from Islip.

Any kid nicknamed "the chosen one" and idolized by his dad is going to try to do too much. Let's not blame the kid for not being coached up properly.

How does this site have a moderator if this clown is allowed to say a kids name?? This is a disgraceful!!

I heard he (#2) didn't even score against 91 MD.

Serious question. How does taz attack. Compare to pack attack? Any holes?

There is no McGrath tournament this year
St Paul's (Garden City) raised the prices so much
they couldn't afford to have the tournament

Relax, Taz will be fine. They lost 1 game in OT (ELITE 8) and only 1 other game (WP) this entire year. I think it's a good thing to see some parity.

Why do you care where Igloo plays or don't play at, you are not playing the entry fees for them, so beat it!

The year just started. A big difference from not losing at grade for several years. Half of the team will be on Express next year. Ask MC.

Attack daddy, I'm sure your son is real good. Relax. Keep it up for 8 more years and his books will be paid for at college. It's Monday morning, go to work.

How 'bout the Pack dad who went after their own coach after the win over Madlax, dropping f bombs and asking why his attack man son didn't get more playing time. What a disgrace!

Time to rebuild....HAHAHA...

Both are solid. Taz has some really solid boys even without the CT kid and the WP has a lefty and X that are some of the best out there. No holes on either team.

glad to see Igloo back in the B tournaments where they belong
Trying to beat town teams

Can't blame the kid, if coaches allow selfish play it's on them. And unless you know otherwise the coaches may be encouraging him to handle the ball because of his skill set and ability to score.

Okay so taz has beaten 91 li 6 out of last 7 games. Including last weekend. Taz beat madlax this weekend. 91 md neat taz in a 10 min ot after taz went down 3 0 most likely because the thought they would handle 91 md and we're looking ahead. If that makes you believe taz is falling apart then you are a fool. They say if no one is talking about you then you are irrelevant. Anyone who watched the games and was actually at tournament knows taz is very near if not at the opposite top of the food chain including your coach! Great teams and unbelievable weekend. My opinion is Taz and wp top of the age group With 91 md and madlaz not far behind. Anyone can beat anyone.

One of their attackers would be better off playing on grade for the Geese but Daddy/Director wont have it since he is obsessed with Taz

So your saying neither team is looking for additional attack man come august?

Kid seems to do just fine playing up. One of the best attackers in the age group. Jealousy is evil

Now that is some good stuff, that nobody saw... the entire place was watching Taz vs 91MD. Do give some details or is this BS? Lefty Crazy dad or Righty Loudmouth dad?

Wolfpack may have lots of openings at attack. From what I understand some of the parents almost went home Saturday

Don't know much about the lefty dad but the righty loudmouth dad has been booted from his own town team. Seems like a nice guy though

Agreed WP has the best attack Chosen One has skills I thought he lacked footspeed at some point that catches up to you. Was waiting for finals and watched Brotherly Love play Bethesda. I think the Brotherly Love attackman is in the conversation single handed brought them back from a 5-0 deficit with 5/6 goals and a super slick backhand shot. Needs to develop a left though

Untrue

Same Wp dad posts every few weeks that they have best attack. I guess if you keep saying it eventually people may believe it. Does that mean your defense at Wolfpack is awful sensed has always scores more than you do? What does it mean that taz defense as awesome since wp can't score against taz

Your grown adults talking about children YOU ARE GARBAGE

One of the best in 2024 even as a 2025.

Just one is looking to leave and currently looking for a home. Bigger news is the inquiries re: calls made to coaches to discuss possible positions opening on the Pack. Thinking tryouts this summer will be very interesting. Bottom line: you're only as good as your last championship win.

And Taz is at the For the Love of the Green tournament playing in a bracket with powerhouses like Eff-Ell-Gee, Taz's B team and town teams. Get over it toolbox. Lots of reasons why club directors sign the teams up for certain tournaments.

Just let it go
Now you are stalking Taz
Finish up your cigarette and
get back in your cubicle

Why on earth would parents go home Saturday.

Where is the moderator on this site? It is a complete joke what goes on here...Miserable people bashing kids.

No NLF and no 'Fest for any Leg a sea teams, it's not making the smart parents happy when they are paying for their boys to face such poor competition.

But the shirt chasers love it.

I just saw Taz playing 2023 this weekend. Don't know what you are talking about.

NLF doesn't allow *** to play in their tournaments...dunba$$.
They want to keep the t shirts for themselves.
They allowed them to play last minute last season to even out the bracket and guess what happened...

You keep believing that! Enjoy the shirts! But you can keep up with the real action on Tourney Machine! Lmao

9d1 wants to hide from taz lost last 6 out of 7. Just ask 9d1 directors. Avoiding geese as well. They will only play teams they can beat as and organization. Son they will have no one to play. Only top teams are JS teams. Others passed up by leg or igloo at every age.

My kid is in neither organization, but that's just dumb. They played them in Blatant. Went 1-1. different organizations commit to different tourneys for different reasons.

Wow, You really did drink the Kool-Aid! That is just insane.

Every good team on the east coast is on LI for the next two weeks and you are in some fantasy land.
Taz parents should demand that they get these kids into the right Tournaments.
Playing up in a beginners Tournament will not do these boys ANY good, no good can come of this isolation.

Nlf 2024 competition looks weak.

It's not as simple as that. Most of the competitive tourneys are invite only

Agreed. I think most don't realize that NLF events are invite only with a ton of politics. The Elite Eight Tourney in Maryland makes this weekends NLF event look like a JV tournament. As a Brotherly Love Parent we have beaten handily most of the teams coming to this NLF event; however, we weren't invited. My theory is that the local Philly based Teams Mesa and Triple H, who are members of NLF, don't want us at this event as they are both ducking us. Why do you ask? Simply because they don't want to be soundly beaten and then they can't self anoint themselves the best club in Philly. We finished 5th at Elite Eight and and I believe that is where Brotherly Love belongs right in the middle of the pack of the top eight. As a club that doesn't start practicing for the Summer Tournament Season until end of May, that isn't bad. On that list WP, Express, and Laxachusetts are the only AA teams. There is nothing "Super" about the Super Series

Mesa Orange lost twice to Outlaws Gold in Spring. They are a B team

And before that they lost the championship at Blatant. Gonna be a long summer kiddos. Stop the tit for tat. You won't be able to keep up with the changes. WP and Taz probably won't meet for a few weeks. How many from each time is on the warrior 2024 together? That should be the real powerhouse!

Totally agree. Nlf does not want competition. They want to only play teams they can beat and not allow better teams in region that have founding members. Unfortunately, it is beginning to backfire as other non-nlf clubs are beginning to dominate the club scene especially at younger ages. College coaches cannot stand the alliance and have made that known to anyone that is in the inner circle.

I heard they added a question to the D1 prospect questionnaire. "when you were in 5th grade, did you play for an NLF Team?"

Sounds like you're guaranteeing taz the championship this weekend, better hope they come thru otherwise it would be an embarrassment for their team and make you out be more of a fool than you already sound like.

Yeah....NOT. To weak, won't play defense on attack. Won't or can't run up to the 50 yd line to catch the turnovers he and his counterparts drop. Goal hanger at best

That's the exception, not the rule. The Bandits are far and away the best in 2023 and the Warriors are also one of the top teams in the grade.

Moron, that tournament is weak, if they win, they lose because the opposition is not good, if they lose, then all [lacrosse] breaks out. I'm not predicting anything, I'm just saying that organization is getting isolated and that's bad for the kids.

Nothing wrong with more tournaments . There is more to 2024 lax then the top teams. B teams need a place to develop and get better . Calling a tournament "garbage" because it's filled with B teams is idiotic.

All of this stuff written about this CT kid is by the Taz parents themselves. A lot of upset people on that team about how it was handled. No show practice, takes a spot of a kid whose been with the team since the start. Put yourself in that position and you would be upset also. Before pointing to other teams parents that are writing about this player look internally because that's where it is all coming from. Within the team it is an elephant in the room.

I am a Taz parent and I will tell you that our parents could not be happier. The boys are great, coaching is great and we still believe we are one of if not the best team in the nation. You all have nothing better to do then create drama to TRY to bring us down. It's your only option because you lost to us 6 OUT OF THE LAST SEVEN TIMES. Get over it, it's 5 th grade lacrosse. You are ruining a great friendly rivalry.

Nothing is wrong with more tournaments, but the discussion is what is Taz doing in a B event for weaker teams (that no one called garbage that I can see). Even playing up, there is a real problem if our kids get isolated.

Like u said 5th grade lax..Best in the Nation..CMON....who cares lady....5th grade lax. They wont be the best in 8th grade...Trust me when i tell u that..enjoy ur Tshirts at FLGEEEEEE this weekend

As we all read these threads it's obvious that this is one or 2 miserable WP dads

You my friend are the minority or a director trying to put out not just a fire, but inferno. Cant say I blame you. I spoke to a couple of your parents after this weekends events. They both said they were very unhappy with the way things were handled this weekend. It was a win at all costs attitude, fielding part-time players, which was bad enough when you are talking about 10/11 year olds that traveled 5 hours. The problem got worse though, when they didn't win. In the end the coaches caused an unnecessary rift which will be very apparent when tryouts roll around. Can you blame them? It was a slap in the face that will be hard if not impossible to recover from. That is a fact. Deny it all you want. It is out there and these parents are not even keeping it a secret.

Any one notice that Express 2024 A team is jumping into Laxfest after they find out that Taz, WP, igloo, Madlax, and even Outlaws are all playing different tournaments this year.

Well they have been scheduled to play LaxFest since January so I don't think it's a witch hunt here. Go back in your hole now.

Wouldn't they need to beat the 2023 team to win? From what I heard, the Tornadoes regularly smoke them in scrimmages. Not sure I'd send in your t-shirt sizes just yet.

You're bragging about being a top team in the nation yet saying it's 5th grade lax so get over it.. apparently your not drinking from the same cup you're trying to pour. What national ranking chart for 5th graders are you looking at???

Why do you think that is that the club Taz plays for did not get invited? Ahh yes, because The Pack is ducking??? That is the most obsurd comment of recent. The NLF is isolating them because some of your directors have made a bad name for themselves. Simply put [lacrosse]holes need not apply. Sorry to say but Team 91 is one of several organizations that encompass the NLF. The can just say I don't want to risk my 2024 or 2025 team lose.

Sounds like you're guaranteeing taz the championship this weekend, better hope they come thru otherwise it would be an embarrassment for their team and make you out be more of a fool than you already sound like.

Moron, that tournament is weak, if they win, they lose because the opposition is not good, if they lose, then all [lacrosse] breaks out. I'm not predicting anything, I'm just saying that organization is getting isolated and that's bad for the kids.

Wouldn't they need to beat the 2023 team to win? From what I heard, the Tornadoes regularly smoke them in scrimmages. Not sure I'd send in your t-shirt sizes just yet.

WRONG

Not wrong at all.

Taz already called in to the tourney organizers and requested fiddle sticks instead of t-shirts for their championship prize....

NLF Summer Championship and NXT are both elite quality tournaments. We'll be fine.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they wanted to have some "local" tournaments, and not make the parents spend money on hotels and food, so they entered a close tourney. They are not part of NLF so they found another.

NLF is only 9D1 ways of ducking TAZ, Pack afford another lost them again.

You realize that NLF goes much deeper than worrying about just 2024 lacrosse right?

Good thing the Tazzie's posted that they were 3-0 after day one at Elite 8. Funny how they didn't even make the finals. Pack is Back

Thanks for that horrendous piece of writing. Taz is playing in NLF at the end of the summer. They could've played in this one also, but chose to mix it up for the kids. No one wants to play the same teams every weekend. Get a

Wow Laxfest 2024 bracket is so weak. Only 1 A team. Express should own this bracket.

Nobody is ducking anybody. You people sound so fuc$ning stupid. You are giving normal people a headache. Stop already.

No one good in nlf 2024 anyway. Taz will be better off playing up. GettIng old Beating wp. Been there done that

Most annoying and arrogant DB award goes to Wolfpack parent. This Long Island stooge doesn't stop having a full blown conversation w his kid all game. Loved watching our Bethesda team make you miserable. Stereo type Long Island fool. Poor kid spent more time listening to dad than his coaches. He also complained about every kid to "move the ball". Fool.

Bethesda and Taz have Wolfpack number. It's about matchups.

Is this the Parent Coach calling out plays from the sidelines? Your HC must love you Dad!

the attack kids dad..in his 91 sweatsuit telling his kid what he needs to do.....embarrassing..
He is one of the parents the coaches letter was directed to...
"We will gladly give any parent their money back and put in a reference to any club they wish"....classic....parents are ruining it for the kids

Was at that game, walking the sideline with the play (there was no room to stay in one place and see anything - note to tourney organizers: can there be guidance to NOT have fans right against the sideline?!) - I heard nothing except Outlaws parents complaining as the game decidedly went towards TB! The Outlaws parents' reputation appears to be well intact and deserved!

This guy is making a nice name for himself- someone needs to get this guy a coach hat and whistle . The good news is that he appears to be getting worse. He is clearly a hot mess. He yells at his boy before the opening whistle and after the final whistle-
Sideline entertainment never ends .

Because that was the only game that was even remotely competitive for TB that day, and the TB parents are generally pretty quiet relative to what I see from other teams (including this past Sat), this is my third going through travel, so I've seen enough to gauge that. And even during that game, all I heard was Outlaws parents complaining . . . that and the coach screaming to his team, "Don't let them get in your heads!!". Guy is nuts.

Like that John Grisham book and movie, THE FIRM. Nobody ever leaves.

Every team has parents that act up. Get over yourself!!!! You are on BOC Complaining, so you are no better then they are. Parents are the causes of most of the problems..

I agree Igloo is a level below the big guys, elite 8 proved that with out a question of doubt but TB is a few steps behind the Igloos and Express's of the world. They will be 0-2 after Sat.

9d1 MD and Madlax are also playing at Big 4 HHH. Hopefully Madlax won't cry about the brackets again.

Hopefully the refs will be fair and not paid off by 9+1 organization.

Don't worry Taddies. Your little Johnny will still be on the bench behind the 13 kids that's plays and he will get his t shirt.

Please tell me this a joke. How is this possible?????

I'm new to this and I'm only voicing an observation but it seemed to me a few teams that are 2024 had more large more developed looking kids than other teams I noticed at least 4 kids on 1 team that definitely did not look like 5th grade...is this a common thing or am I just imagining it?

Yep that's the new normal. And taz kids playing with express. But it didn't help them

Ummm, 6-3 wasn't close on Saturday and today was a complete blowout by Express

Not true

Tourney machine -6-3 Saturday.. 11-1 today. A total of. 4 goals in 2 games by TB vs 17 scored by Express
SPIN THAT

I was simply asking if it's common to have kids taken from other teams either older or ringers I didn't mention any teams as these are 10-11 year old kids & 1 team had several as in more than 3 kids that looked obviously older than any other kids on any other teams & it could be they're just mature or possibly they are older

And yes I originally posted the question and there is no question that express was an excellent team they had a great fogo kid I am not insulting anyone I am just honestly wondering about the age because in football they take pictures and verify every kid at beginning of every age and I noticed they don't do that in lacrosse so it would be easy to slip in a few older kids

Crickets....

Nobody answered the question

Just because they are bigger doesn't mean they're older

They are most likely older probably holdbacks as lacrosse goes by graduation year not actual age.

There you are. While the rest of society are out for the night in restaurants, wearing nice clothing and sipping wine, discussing adult things. You are in your momma's basement crying that a 10 year old boy, who you obviously don't know at all, wore a different uniform onto a field. First of all, these are little kids playing a sport for themselves. Not for you and your lifeless, anonymous keyboarding tirades. It's quite obvious who you are. Get your facts straight before you keep posting

Yeah, let's use the final game to make sure everyone gets playing time - is that really the excuse you are going with? True Blue got beat by a better team. True Blue simply isn't deep enough to play with the strong clubs......too reliant on kids from Massapequa (and they'll pass over a strong player from another town for a Pequa kid who is friends with a few kids on the team). It's the same story for all ages. It's why True Blue will never be an A team. Strong town team, which there is nothing wrong with that.

At least 2024 made it to the finals this weekend. Other ages didn't do too well. The 3 wins by 2024 matched the total of their other 4 teams, combined.

IS WolfPack back or Madlax is back at the Big 4 HHH? lol

They don't have to be - the 80s called, and they want their youth hockey, soccer, and baseball leagues back!

24 parent had a serious medical incident on the sideline and the game was halted. It was a very scary incident and the teams handled it the right way. 24 also forfeited their semifinal game in respect for the family. This was the classiest move of the tournament and let the boys know there is things more important than lacrosse. Thank god for the EMT parents that stepped in as I am sure there were a at least a Dr there that shyed away.

Also said by the parents of the aforementioned sports' parents back in the 80s. It will happen - hopefully it will happen as a result of the sport maturing willingly versus it occurring as the result of a major lawsuit when inevitably an older kid hurts on on-age kid. Then, it will happen as a condition of obtaining insurance for teams and/or tournaments. Frankly, I am surprised insurance carriers are willingly providing coverage under the current grade-based system at reasonable rates.

Taz still better then both

There is no way every tournament is not insured - considering they are all held in third party locations makes that most likely the case. Someone dumb enough to actually put a tourney on without insurance is almost mind boggling.

class move by the 24 Organization--then again, with the people they have running the program, that was expected.

I think you missed the point - the TB starters didn't play much if AT ALL. The game was played predominantly by non-starters.

Yeah, let's use the final game to make sure everyone gets playing time - is that really the excuse you are going with? True Blue got beat by a better team. True Blue simply isn't deep enough to play with the strong clubs......too reliant on kids from Massapequa (and they'll pass over a strong player from another town for a Pequa kid who is friends with a few kids on the team). It's the same story for all ages. It's why True Blue will never be an A team. Strong town team, which there is nothing wrong with that.

At least 2024 made it to the finals this weekend. Other ages didn't do too well. The 3 wins by 2024 matched the total of their other 4 teams, combined.

I think you missed the point - the TB starters didn't play much if AT ALL. The game was played predominantly by non-starters.

Why else would a score of 6-3 turn into 11-1.

So, just to be clear, you are saying TB ,more specifically Coach Cat, played the better kids less in a championship game??

Or ,might it be the starters played less AFTER the game was out of reach? (4mins In)

Both games were not close based on any metrics -GB's , Time of possession, Shots, GB's,Face offs,

The only thing TB had more of was SAVES by an excellent goalie.

TB is a B team, Express is not.

TB already talking about re-tooling for next year. 2 teams. One will try to compete in A, the other will be B. There will be tons of movement this summer

6-3 might sound close ,but if you actually watched the game, Express had the ball for 95% of the game >>>True Blue goalie had at least 15 saves. He alone is the reason the score was only 6-3.

Learn to really watch what's going on.

The starters didn't play - TB's top middie didn't even make the prior semi game. In fact, the top two middie lines were run ragged in the prior games, to the point that even if they had played, they would have been worthless. You cannot play lax with 6 middies in tournament play in warmer, humid conditions, especially when the team may play as many as four games in a given day, and six on the weekend.

I wouldn't call that retooling - that was the plan coming out of last season, but they didn't get enough players at tryout to have 2 teams. Such is the dilemma for many programs that are not in the top tier: they can draw a decent group of the top 10 boys, but then the falloff can be steep, steeper for some than others. Just because a program/coach wants to build a true A team doesn't make it happen.

Express did not lose a face off and TB still kept it to 6-3. TB keeps on getting better no matter what people say. They keep catching ground on express just like the 2023 team.

You just don't get it... Your team didn't keep it 6-3..Your goalie did..He was shelled all game, both game...no help from "starters" or non starters..fact

what an arrogant jerk -- this is a parent on another team. you are truly useless. I have had interactions with him and his organization and he (and the team) is nothing but top notch. Grow up, Peter Pan.

Cheated another team out of an opportunity to play and avoided a loss.

You are a tool. Safe to assume you weren't there
Or were you the Dad in his pink shorts and whale shirt with his hands in his pockets, Afraid to help? If it wasn't for the two off duty FDNY firefighters things could have been a lot worse. The in site medical staff had no equipment or training for that situation. So for the poster Congress played. Next time step up or shut up

Every True Blue team had the hardest schedule, while express and 91 had the easiest. They did not want to see True Blue succeed and the teams did not do bad at all. Two made the championship and one tied two teams, which could've easily been wins. Express and 91 played the easiest teams and were set up to meet each other. Funny how when 91 loses they don't update it on the app or online. But everyone else they do.

What is your excuse for the 2022 True Blue team? Was that a hard schedule in the B bracket?
I'll side with you in 2023 that the schedule was set up so Warriors and Haugen met in the playoffs (same in 2022A with Marksberry & Channy), but both younger 91 teams weren't set up -- and they both made the finals. The app is even updated to show that both of those teams lost the finals.

The 2025 team played both express and 91. They gave true
blue A teams the hardest schedules. You can not deny that, it's evident looking at each one. First tough tournament and I think the teams out performed everyone not associated with true blue expectations

TB 2022 had a good schedule but needed to play better the 2024 only had 5 teams in their bracket

Express parents are the worst. Can't believe the coach told the mom to shut up when she walked on the field with her son hurting. Also, what is up with the parents standing behind the goalie line? Express is the phucking worst.

That's a lie . The 2023 bracket was not set up for Express. In pool play Express played True Blue & Empire which were suppose to be two of the best B teams.Since it was a 91 tourney - Warriors taken care of & played all of the weaker teams.

What are you talking about? Harder schedule? They all played all the same teams. There were only 5 teams! Stop with the excuses. The score for the first game was 6-3 because Express played liked horrible the first 1/2. Get over it. The 2 teams aren't even in the same league.

It's pretty obvious that the comment was pertaining to the TB teams across the board (hint: you could discern that from the inclusion of the word "every" in "Every True Blue team"). While you can agree or not with their position, at least argue the point being made versus the wrong one you attacked.

No such thing as a True Blue A team

True Blue is a good team for the kids who dont have the ability to make an A team. Their team is made up of decent athletes who work hard but they don't have any dominant players and their coaches are terrible across the board. If I'm a parent paying $2k for coaches like that, I would be extremely unhappy.

Where did Igloo 2024A play this weekend? I saw their 2024B team at the Strong Island tournament

Please explain how and why EACH of their teams' coaches are "terrible"? And if you're paying or have ever paid $2K to TB, you're the only one who did!

You obviously have not gone to a TB practice or game if you are making negative comments about the coaching staff. These young men hold my son 100% accountable for all his actions on the field, and once they are off the field, they treat our boys like kings. So maybe we are not getting the top tier talent on the field across the board, but I can assure you the coaching staff is looking to build talent rather than buy it.

You want to see how good TB is look at their college commitments

High School all Americans - all long island & even all county players are not really stack with TB players. You need a dose of reality & have no clue what you are talking about. Until you play & beat some A teams stay off this forum.

Tb parents get a discount on club fees every time they post something positive about the team, they're tying up other forums as well with their propaganda, bunch of syag wannabes

But guess where the college coaches see them playing? The top tournaments that only the top clubs play. TB players never get seen.
And guess who talks to the college coaches.

I'll let the 55 TB '16 and '17 boys that are playing or will play college lacrosse that they were never really seen . . . And the the same thing for a ton of other boys from other non 'top clubs'.

I have nothing to do with TB. But that last statement was idiotic, and everyone on here is now less intelligent for having to read it. You should go to the WP/Taz/Express DB dads forum 2017.

Interesting. How was the drive back to upstate NY after scoring 3 goals all day?

I get it. You want to see how your boys stack up against Long Island. I guess you got your answer. Now maybe hit the practice field and stay in jersey for the rest of your tournaments. More your speed.

Now we know how Igloo felt at the Elite 8. Maybe we can get another crack at you guys at the Battle of the Bees

Is the Tri Star tournament this weekend ran by Express?

Which team will the new Express Legacy kids play for?

Be careful of what you wish for. With what Igloo is doing with there WSYL team by bringing down players. Don't think your spot is secure if there is a young 2023 kid he will be playing in little Jhonny's spot.

Everyone likes to stir the kettle. They didn't play in any tournaments for the Express team.
Maybe they weren't good enough!

Does anyone actually care what Outlaws Select does anymore? Most of those boys are actively looking for new homes for next season. FACT. Coach is hated by his players and parents. Sad because they are good people and kids. Coach is a complete d**k. Watch him coach a game or sulk after a loss, if you don't believe me.

He needs to manage the kids playing time like it is a true select team or he will lose most of the players especially the new ones. Also stop calling plays every 3 seconds and trust that they will make a play. They will surprise you.

What tournament was Igloo in? How did they do?

Igloo is a joke. Some good players. But coaches are to funny. Really not good. They put a good show on. Pay a lot. I guess for the brand. What ever you call it. They lost there mojo. In the 5 th grade bracket good b team. Not anywhere need A. The 3 big organization still run the show. Igloo is just a lost puppy. Stay on LI AND PLAY B TEAMS Please In sure the parents would love that. It will also help with your program getting new players next year. Cause if you keep up this pace. It will back fire.

igloo is a B team and only win b tournaments ....when they enter a true A tourney they are lucky to even win a game...maybe they should start playing in town tourneys that might make the parents happy

the outlaws team at Tri -Star wasn't very good,

Have to love Expre$$ bringing kids in JUST FOR A TOURNAMENT. Keep it Classy MC, good to see that you are doing it at 2024, 2023, and ??? Great life lessons by the orange and black

Outlaws were there in the A bracket. Probably would have competed in the B bracket, but hey challenge them see what they can do.

Leave the kid out of it. Unless yours is perfect stfu. It's the coaching style that is the issue. All the screaming, chaos and micro managing every single pass. Nobody plays just wait for instructions.

Sorry bruh, check again. You could have just followed the 2024 Select coaches kleenex trail. Crying and moping around like another coach stole his rattle. Screaming out his plays like a complete loooon.

having him always on the field is almost playing man down,then when he slashes someone because he turns the ball over they go 2 man down

He is doing great, thank you for asking. No more sitting around watching the coach play his favorite player at attack then moving him to middle.

It was BL they lost to the top BLC in the finals.

They brought two teams and split up their AA team into two evenly matched A teams by bringing up their B kids. We played both teams and the one team we played in the Championship. One of their parents told me the split once the tournament dropped their AA bracket. They were not a B Team I think we beat them by 3 goals but I think it was a 2 goal game with 4 minutes left.They did beat us at Elite 8. They are legit and certainly not a B Team. Their righty attack is a force and generates about 75% of their offense and their face off kid is top notch.

So when the government raises the minimum hourly wage, do you celebrate by buying a new carport?

Madlax is the best anywhere by a mile. LI dads can shut up now.

Since there were only 4 AA teams BL and the other 3 were supposed to split up there teams. Each of the BL teams had 1/2 of the AA kids...

Elite 8 tourney, Madlax lost to Taz back on June 3rd 7-6 and if I recall Taz is from Long Island

It was the same Outlaw team

Just a question....I've lived on long island for 46 years and I have seen exactly 1 carport. Where the heck did that come from?

There are a million carports on LI.

Madlax beats Taz at NXT. Madlax has reloaded and gotten significantly better since Elite 8. Just ask Wolfpack and T91MD.

The guy is a moron looking to stir the pot. And it's true most ppl from Long Island don't have car ports.

If you're going to assign teams to some sort of talent or ranking categories, then you need to pick how many tiers that ranking will include. Then you need to come to a clear consensus on what being in one versus the other is determined by (teams near the bottom of one versus the top of the other will always bring about debate). None of that exists today - people like to speak as though there is a clear two-tier system, A and B, but in application, it's a one-tier system with the best of the best called out, and then a few more programs right below that, and then EVERYONE else - there are too many teams in the "everyone else" category ('B") for this to be a valid two-tier system. In a true two-tier system, there are are a number of good 'B' teams that would be more appropriately lower A teams. The only other way to do it would to have every team numerically ranked, and then define the decile that define the categories, IE, top 10 = A, 11 - 30 = B, etc, etc; this would actually allow for more than two tiers, which would also provide insight into matching teams up better for tournaments et al That isn't happening unless someone builds a system that tracks all of this based upon numerous objective factors (forget bringing in subjective factors like voting!). It also would only be valid for a given year since teams have turnover in players - each year you would start over, but there would nothing to provide preseason ranking on other than the previous year's team ranking. It would be an interesting graduate project for a former lax player in an appropriate field of study (statistics/math?).

I think the AA, A, B is fine and more than appropriate. The reality is that it is subjective at best when self anointing your own team/club. My son plays for AA and has blown out teams and gotten blown out. I have seen teams that should play AA but play A to get a tournament win. I do think an AA and A is needed. The reality is there are some super good teams out there in fairness that should play in their own bracket for both sportsmanship and to challenge themselves, as there are some very good teams out there playing quality lacrosse but just not "elite" but even that label is subjective.

In fairness. To 2024 only so many "elite teams". In the tri state area. Wolfpack. Taz, Then its 4-5 goal difference with express. Then basically 8-10 goal differential. With most other teams . If my son was on taz, pack, and we basically blew out everyone with exception of few teams, Maybe I would think play up. If it's about getting better. Taz played 2023 fl$ few weeks ago and was like 500 ish. But at least was competitive

Your point only supports that a valid two-tier system would have more teams in A than there 'are' now.

Why do you guys bother? No matter what weirdo name you come up with for your 2024 team, nobody can hang with Madlax. I love the comedy gold on this thread.

Idiot. Taz and pack beat madlax at elite 8. Take away the 13 year old and it's not even close

Another person who can't comprehend the aspect of something being more than about them. Clue: being self-centered is not a positive character trait.

What level you play on should also depend on the tournament your in and the other teams in it. There are a number of teams that can play in the A bracket in one tournament, but should play in the B bracket in another. You also need to think of the kids confidence level. You don't want to keep having a team get there [lacrosse] kicked by playing over their head just because they are suppose to be an A team.

Oh, it is so much fun watching some Madlax kid turn you LI dads into raving lunatics. It doesn't take much. And if you would think first, and rant second, you might be able to figure it out on your own. Madlax does tryouts every season and is constantly picking up new kids. In the Spring, Madlax had a small roster. This Summer, it has a bigger roster. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that they added kids. It is easy when you are the best team in the DMV area. Kids (or probably more their parents) get obsessed with their kid playing for the best possible team that they can possibly make. This is why the best teams tend to get better. Just look at Hawks 2022, or Crabs 2023. These teams consistently beat LI teams, and the gap will continue to widen. And the same is true for Madlax 2024. Just two months ago, Wolfpack dads were posting nonsense about smacking Madlax and Back is Pack. They got noticeably quiet after HHH. No bragging or making excuses because for anyone that saw the game, Madlax jumped out to a 2-0 lead and solidly controlled the entire game. Madlax moved the ball with ease. Won every GB. SOG were 3 to 1. Pack struggled to even get the ball into the offensive zone. Madlax's defense manhandled them. Wolfpack got a cheap goal at the end, and lost its composure. Game was called because Wolfpack was two men down. Total disgrace for Wolfpack. Madlax won with dignity and class. I am sure the next time they play, Madlax will win by even more. You are absolutely right that any team can get caught sleeping. That is what happened at Elite 8 when Taz beat Madlax for the FIRST time ever. Isn't the record like 10-1? Madlax was up by two goals with 1:30 to go, and took its foot of the gas and blew game winning shots at the end of regulation, and the start of OT. That will never happen again. See you at NXT! You should learn to be happy with your kid being second best.

As a Brotherly Love Parent that recently played all the teams in question here is my perspective on the rankings without a horse in the race.

1. Taz- Most balanced, outstanding goalie and togo.
2. Bethesda- Great snipers, decent face off and overall team athleticism (I do question the age of some of these boys).
3. 91 Wolfpack- Great execution as a team, well coached, balanced scoring.
4. Madlax- This team is really a one player team. Decent supporting cast but really only one player. (I really question the age of this one)

Take it for what it is worth. We beat the #2 team on this list but I think we got lucky with some great togo work and 6 goal effort by our main offensive threat. I put us about 5/6 on the top list.

Wait a minute. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Madlax was 3-0 against Bethesda this spring, beat Wolfpack at HHH, and has beaten Taz more times than I can remember (and their only loss to Taz was OT), and you are going to rank Madlax fourth. That doesn't make sense. I am a big fan of BL. Have said lots of nice things about BL and will continue to do so. Sure people like to bash Madlax's FO. But he is only 11, and he is not going anywhere. So all the jealous dads need to stop bullying and falsely accusing the kid. Give the kid credit. The kid is a beast and he works out constantly. He is easily the most complete player at this age group. But more importantly, there is no way that a single player can beat all the teams that Madlax has. Madlax's speedy attackman is incredible. He could very easily be the best attackman at this age group. Same thing for their close defender. He could easily be the best defender at this age group. People get so caught up with the middie that they turn a blind eye to all the other stars on that team.

At Elite 8, T91NY, T91MD, Taz, Madlax, Bethesda (boy did they get screwed), and BL all held their own. Hawks struggled but deserved to be there. Igloo stunk it up. If not Igloo, who is the next best team in the country that should have been there?

and if anyone believes this nonsense I have a bridge to sell you. The only thing Madlax dominates is soft players. In every game I watched of Madlax half the game is spent with both teams kneeling watching madlax players crying as they walk off the field. They should join a nice Ballet class and let the big boys play or is that your coaches way of stalling the game when they're up? Madlax did it all winter and carried it over to the summer. Keep an eye out. Coach is sneaky. FYI this won't fly in high school.

Agree 100% that's why we left

tryout numbers would double with a coaching change

AGREE. Way overdue.

T91MD beat Bethesda at Elite 8 and a month before that beat the 12-3 in the MD AA spring league. T91MD also beat Taz...Bethesda isn't that good.

All the teams have beat each other, all the teams are good. Honestly I think the days of any one team being dominant are over. Makes for more fun lacrosse anyway

I am not a Madlax guy, but can tell you that we've played them the last two weeks in a row, and they are the best 2024 team, for now.

Wow. That's awesome that your son plays on the best 11 y/o lacrosse team. That along with a 4.0 gpa and 65k a year will get you into a great college. Congrats. He will probably be able to put that on his Resume when he applies for a job.

Question: Does a Team Take the Free Clear via the Mercy Rule in an A Bracket?

It appears on the Looney site on Maryland Forum there is quite the raging debate. Brotherly Love 2024 was thumping Looneys 2024 and Looneys took the free clear multiple times, still lost the game, but then ended up winning the whole 2024 bracket because Brotherly Love got upset in the semis by Roughriders. My son plays for Mesa and we lost to BL 13-0 and never took the free clear. Which Team is playing with honor and integrity.

And apparently terribly

Most tourneys have that rule in pool play. Can't take the clear man up and work on you face offs.

How do the teams look in the Bulldog bash?

I found Team Long Island---- playing 2025's!!! WOW.

What tourneys play that rule??? That is beyond dumb! It's fine for spring youth leagues, but makes no sense when GA or GD are typical tie breakers for tourney pool play.

Actually a lot. NXT, Victory Series, Hogans Lax to name a few.

Madlax parent here. We are a very good team... NOT a great team. We can beat any team on any given day BUT we can also be beaten by a very good team like the Hawks did yesterday. Madlax parents are not on here talking crap - it is someone trying to stir the pot. I'm sure this applies to all the teams. There are really good teams out there - stop killing each other and enjoy the competition. Should be interesting and fun for the next couple years. Congrats to the Hawks!

Does L.I. Express Remember when FCA beat their snowflakes at Saratoga Shootout last year. They are coming to the NXT cup... so be ready for payback!

Haha...Igloo playing Bash at the Beach. All credibility lost for Tony B and his club. Elite 8 one month, C level tee shirt grab tourney the next. I wonder if he makes it through tryouts.

What is your problem with him? All I hear is how a good coach he is.

Good coach and good guy. Kids love him. Best part is he doesn't care what people think about him on BOTC and he just does his thing. Haters gotta hate.

What teams are people happy with and unhappy with and why?

Anyone know how warrior all American games are shaping up?

I don't think they are. They took people's money across the country and never picked teams . Everyone should get a refund

Zzzzzzz. They aren't.

Thought igloo was a top team. Playing another B/C tourney Sunday.

Wait a minute...a month ago the Chosen One was with Taz, two weeks ago the Chosen One with 2023 Prime Time, last weekend he was with 2024 Eclipse. It is tough to keep track of a skipping stone.

What's your point re this particular player? Who cares where he plays

I'm the chosen one, all else are imposters!!!

Instead of frantically coming here every day to clean up the mess from other arrogant Madlax dads, how about telling those loudmouths to shut up?

You guys have one overage kid. That's it.

Comical. His father is the one building up the storyline....kid is a good AA player, not great.

My son played for him - and when we play in the same tournament he always looks for his old Coach TB. Good guy, good Dad, good coach.

Exactly. Best for introducing littles ones to the game. You and him would be less than impressed now.

Team LI playing 2025s in Pa. seems worth it.

Yes I believe they did need last year. And yes they still do.

Not if you have seen them play lately.

They are a very good team..except when friends/family and $ spots are on.

And you think your son is better?

Nothing to think about.I know.YES!

They really shouldn't mix the two together as it sends mixed messages to kids. They are not a good club, yet they try to go to NXT cup. Maryland FCA is good, but Northeast FCA is chiot.....

Sad that Igloo is going to beat up C and D teams this weekend because their prissy North Shore parents didn't want to drive to Westchester to play decent competition.

They would be better off picking up the phone and playing Taz, Pack, Express, Outlaws, etc. but its all about the tee shirt for them. Lame as it gets

we get it you dont like Igloo. Thanks for the news though, very thoughtful of you and you may have a future as a reporter..keep up the investigative work, we are all very impressed.

As of now they play Hitmen and OShea. I feel bad for the kids on those teams. No reason for them to be playing Igloo. No reason for them to be there in the first place

What we don't like is "A" team parents ranting about if you don't play for a top team then you can't play. Then they sand bag a B tournament for Tee shirt

That B kid today could be the top kid playing division 1 lax in a few years. While your kid is burnt out. Never knock non A teams.
My son is on an A team but you never know where he lands.

How about kids learning to play a sport!!!!! I would love to see who your kid is and watch him on a ball field. I am sure he never makes any mistakes and scores every goal. I am also sure you are top in your field. You must be some piece of work. I actually feel badly for your son, because it sounds like you are a terrible parent with a terrible attitude.

I have one simple question. Why are so many "parents" on this site taking 11 year old lacrosse so seriously? The kids don't even rag on each other! I remember seeing Taz and WP kids flipping bottles with each other in between games one time. Laughing, having fun! Don't they know that they should act like the fools like their parents are??

My 11 yr old doesn't even have a phone yet. You know what he wants. A chance to win a tournament. Not to get blown out so Igloo can post on FB that they won another tournament. Where are the photos from the Elite 8. Oh right they are on Madlax's page

God, that must have been a special moment for you. Thanks so much for sharing that memory. Must have been like watching Romeo and Juliet live.

If your kid plays for 24 or the Ballers, he has a chance. Just beat igloo. If he plays for any of the other teams in that tourney. He had no legitimate shot anyway.

Check your tourney machine 2024 bracket again, now maybe your son has a shot on a new t shirt lol

Exactly-perfect point-they're 11 years old(most of them!!) Many will leave the game, some will be overtaken by athletes starting little later, others will continue depending on their desire, work ethic, etc. Parents project on their kids. I am/was one who had to check ego and mouth and let my son have fun and play. I'm learning parenting while he's learning the game and life. I am amazed at the anger and condemnation for parents and KIDS on this site. The kids act better than the parents by miles.

Do you feel better having gotten that off your chest? Because it was a waste of time. Nothing on here will change and neither will the comments.

But at least he won't be humiliated
Good go Igloo, they should play up in B tournaments
Good luck to them. I would stay and watch an all Igloo final

Its all about the CUP... whoever wins NXT is champ... phuck the world series of lax #wsolax

Taz by far better team

Select coach deserves to get cut. He is last on the "depth" chart. Karma gets served......

Which team would be easier to make as a middie? Taz or Wolfpack?

Outlaws are the joke of NXT. Parents seriously writing Outlaws and your kids number on your cars. Go shoot yourself!

What about attack? Or Def? Do they have any weak spots?

wp is weak at middie because if daddy/town ball. taz better but always looking for upgrades

Go to tryouts and find out .

Looks like Madlax over Taz and Brotherly Love. They look to be the best 2024 team this year.

Taz is a better team...give it 2 years..i bet express will compete with Taz and Wolfpack on LI....Enjoy ur TShirts....Oh wait Taz didnt get one this weekend because they played real competition

We played the outlaws, they were one of the stronger teams in the bracket. Where do they play out of?

Huntington, NY

Your asking as if tryouts are on the level. Let me fill you in junior. Tryouts are 100 bucks. 60 kids, 6 grand a team. These clubs have many teams, it's to make money. Every one of these A teams are picked before tryouts. Maybe 2 slots per team will be new and a good chance the coach knows who those slots are. Unless your kid goes into tryouts and looks like Paul rabil , he will make a B team. Any parent willing to pay, their kid will make some team. Those top A teams, unless the coach knows your son, almost impossible.

OUTLAWS coaches are awful...yell yell yell...u guys sounded like a@@holes...they dont know the game of lacrosse.They encourage late hitting etc....this isnt the 1990s..game has changed...The Outlaw coaches have not!!.I was there watching my son play for another team....Parents beware..stay away from Outlaws...

So.....I guess while TAZ is playing good competition your sitting around waiting for Express to send down some 2023s.
Maybe in 2 years you'll be ready. I sure hope so because Long Island needs some better teams. Keep us posted.

Guess your son

Guess your son is on the outside looking in

Same team parents attacking the same team all the time. Stop being jealous and move on. It's just lacrosse. If your not happy with your team, find another one. You can not blame other teams for your team losing all the time!!

Lmao. Sorry your coach was afraid to play Taz and Madlax so he decided to chase the Tshirt in the B division and you went back to GC with 3rd place. Yes. 4 championships with 7 appearances in the finals. Please stay away!

Agreed and same back at you. Was an amazing game. And SS parents were pretty bad. But they had a strong team too. I think the boys gave everything against you and their tanks were empty against SS in final.

What are some of the top fall tournaments on the island?

Fyi. They put 2 strong teams in each group. That way a weak team did not makes the final four. I guess your boy was on one of the weaker teams and went 0-3.

They were the only team that went undefeated so I'm not sure how you can say they don't know the game of lacrosse. I guess you believe everyone needs to get a participation award!!! Sorry your team lost go cry some place else MORON.

you need to learn to read...not a GC parent writing... Gc parent said we did not see that with Outlaws in semi finals.....Hope your kid can read and comprehend what he reads...LOL

Maybe if your sons team was not such an embarrassment you guys would have done the same. Perhaps you should get off BOTC and go have a catch with your boy.

I've got no horse in this game one way or the other, if you don't think a team with horrible coaches can win games or even a tournament, then you don't know much about sports . . . I have no idea whethere this Outlaws team is good and/or the coaches are good or bad, but my comment holds regardless.

Your statement is true and false. In 11 y/o lax a team with poor coaching can win. But it's usually early in the year. The late summer tournament teams that do well, is usually through well coached teams.

It kinda depends on who is in the tourney. Fall jam usually has some competitive teams in it.

It can be true any time in the season DEPENDING UPON the competition faced - IE, a team with horrible coaching can win a tournament if their competition on that given weekend is lesser talented and/or don't play well/near their abilities..

Madlax-Taz was another thriller. Shame they had to play in semis, not finals. Some incredible lax for this age group. Competition at its best. I think this is three games in a row decided by a single goal. Hope they get to play again soon.

Exactly....

Taz still has the better players by far over Pack

It's so funny!!! You happen to just be an innocent bystander!!!! No one teaches that . Grow up, and practice what you preach...

You Taz parents crack me up! Taz beats WP by one goal four or five times and taz is the best team ever to touch the 2024 bracket. Then, they get beat by Madlax three times by one goal and it's good lacrosse?? You parents are an absolute joke. Any one of these teams can win on any given day. BECAUSE THEY ARE KIDS!!!!! Get over yourselves and have a catch with your son!

3. 91 Wolfpack- Great execution as a team, well coached, balanced scoring.
4. Madlax- This team is really a one player team. Decent supporting cast but really only one player. (I really question the age of this one)

Take it for what it is worth. We beat the #2 team on this list but I think we got lucky with some great togo work and 6 goal effort by our main offensive threat. I put us about 5/6 on the top list.

Any changes?

Bethesda is not top 4.

With Madlax's wins over Taz at NXT and Wolfpack at HHH, I think you have to put them 1 for now. I would put Hawks in the 4th spot over Bethesda.

I do remember going on an important job interview about 25 years ago. The guy asked me when I was 11, what ranking was my travel baseball team. I was 23 then, so I said that was 12 years ago, I don't remember. I didn't get the job because of that answer. Remember these 11 year old boy rankings are so important.

To be honest you just weren't qualified for the job

Is it better to play on a great team and be a backup? Or play on a B team as a starter? Just looking for good advice. Thanks.

How do the teams look at the Patriot games for 2024

I truly believe if there was lines on these teams, some of you would be betting on them.

Yes, my son sux, can't catch, cradle, throw, run.............

B team as a starter. Sitting behind players will not get you better. Playing constantly in games will get you better. Then he will become the starter on the A with hard work.

I think it depends upon the coaches and the practices - if your son will learn and improve via the A team practices more than he will on the B team running first line, then maybe that is better. Best case scenario is to find a solid B team where he gets both good coaching in practices AND gets to apply that on the filed during games.

Weak tournament, weak teams.

Ask your son if he wants to play in games. Then you will have your answer.

Ask your son if he wants to play in games. Then you will have your answer.

It depends on the teams and the coaching. Some back ups still get plenty of playing time, and in time can maybe prove themselves and move to the first line. Also some B teams play in weak tournaments and he won't get better playing against weaker teams. It really depends on the team and the coach.

So what if player only goes in when it's a blowout?

At this age, you want him playing with kids that can throw and catch and understand the game. You want them playing in good competitive games, IMO much more important than being on a great team and watching. There are benefits to that too, but playing is why you bought them a stick, not to lean on. Dont get caught up in the my son is on "AAA Elite 24 Hours a Day Lacrosse" team, you will realize as I have it is meaningless.

Why is Wolfpack with the B teams at NLF?

Typical [lacrosse] response to a valid post.

Because their directors make the schedule. They do this to try to tire out taz. Unfortunately it does not work because Taz beats them anyway

It's more important to have the right training , and practice is most important. That's where a child will improve and learn . Learning to play lacrosse the right way is key. There are many good clubs that provided that . You want your child to be happy and have fun ,

WP really has an easy road as well. Unless laxachusetts split the yellow team. Geez.

Cool post. Don't be afraid to tell them that your team ranked last next time. We all believe in you and eventually that Assistant JV Coaching position could still be yours.

One of those teams is a C team. Has to be a mistake

The Farmingdale guy you are speaking about also owns a town travel team in Farmingdale called DalerNation. That program is horrible now. Complete money grab. Chased all the talent away.

So who will he play for this weekend? Taz or Eclipse? Explains why Eclipse ranked so much higher in the MA tournament. Will he play this weekend for 2024? Eclipse plays Taz. Should be interesting.

Did they say who was coaching or anything at all?

Why do you people talk about an 11 year old boy like this so much? Great kid, great parents. Hardest working 11 year old out there period!! The Evans family is world class!! I encourage anyone that has the chance, to get to know this family, nothing but good intentions .

Please delete this. No need to reveal names.

Why does it matter to you who he is playing for this weekend. That's the issue everyone is so concerned about this kid, maybe if your kid worked a little harder he would have the opportunity to choose where he plays on any given weekend. Also before you talk about loyalty the teams he plays for seem to have no problem so why not worry about your own kid and let this family be.

you mean 12 year old

Good coaching isn't reflected on wins and losses at this age
It's how many kids want to return to the team and how many develop a love for the game

No. We just want to know if he is playing so we can go and get someone to cover him.

It's actually really very WRONG that this kid plays for different teams. If my son made a spot on a team and this kid came in late in the season and played here and there I'd be pissed. It's the parents own fault they aren't making many friends. I don't care how GREAT people think they are. What they are doing is totally wrong. And just because he's 11 and the best now does not mean $hit! It sounds like the parents need to get a life outside their 11 year old son.
Personally, I want to know if we are going to crush Eclipse or now we know we have the "chosen one" that all of a sudden makes their team something they aren't.

You people don't have any idea about this boy. He is not a gun for hire. He shows up at every practice all year long. His parents drive him hours and hours. This boy is a great child, The kind of self motivating child that works at his game constantly. The kind of child you wish your child was as he probably refuses to hit the wall or make the sacrifices that are necessary to be great at something. Show some respect to this family.

We get it it's so unfair to your son that he shows up and plays more so I will take it out on the kid. Here is a idea take it up with your organization or the coach. You're a consumer take your business someplace else so you don't have to deal with this kind of stuff. It's the parents fault that they are not making friends. (thanks for the laugh) People on this site don't like each other, half of the parents on the sidelines hope for the player in front of their son looses his spot so little Jonny can play more. There are no friends here this is claw your way up to the top so Jonny can maybe get a $5k scholarship to play lax in 8 years.

Please stop pretending. Just show up and play who is in front of you and stop complaining

You're going to need to be more specific

If MadLax is just one player, then why can't Taz, 91, Brotherly Love, or LI Express score enough goals to win. The kid you all seem to fear does not play every play. Seems the MadLax D is the best out there. And, the attack are all smaller then the other teams D, but they lead the team scoring. MadLax is much more balanced and wins without a FOGO. Try coming to a game sober (or at least not hung over from a Springsteen concert) and you'll see a full team play. By they way, if you really have an issue with the age of any of the MadLax players, stop by the tent and let us know. I know you won't b/c only wimps pick on kids via anonymous posts. You should start worrying about your own sons and how they have a sorry father as a male-role model.

Where's the Madlax apologist who always insists that Madlax 2024 parents don't post here? Seems like he's wrong again.

Finally someone is trying to move to age base
NXT Sports
https://nxtsports.com/blog/entry/nx...to-adopt-us-lacrosse-age-segmentation-p/

Why so bitter? Madlax is the best 2024 team in the country!!! Deal with it! Also Taz is much better than WP! Taz plays more like a team and is not as selfish as WP. Go ahead stop our 1 middie. You'll
Son find out that we will still beat you. Then what, you will have nothing to complain about. Just accept it and enjoy the competition.

Dude don't take this the wrong way, but you sound like such a di$k. All those 3 or 4 teams beat each other. Wasn't elite 8 and past tournaments a reminder of that. Now stop being that guy, nobody likes that guy.

I agree. I think this is like one Madlax parent groupie that is running around all over this board adamant that Madlax is the best team in the country. I see their fingerprints everyone. Jesus dude pleas stop. Yes they are a good team....now get over it. Anyone of the top teams can beat each other on any given game. Goalie stands on his head, togo is off, hit a couple of pipes....just knock it off....guessing you haven't seen locker room in your life.

Enough of Madlax! Taz is the best team for 2024s!

My kid is looking to play on travel team next yr, was told to check out igloo, dont know anything about team or coaches was hoping to get some genuine, non typical botc feedback about them

Ok... So I did stop by the tent and the The big boy's dad was not there. He was at his other son's tournament. Is his father 6'5?
Was this boy born 12 lbs and 25 inches? How can a 2024 kid grow to be this huge at this age?
5-3 TAZ starting the fourth quarter and then the coaches told the big boy to go win it.... He Literally Ran over TAZ from that point forward. He's a great player and Madlax is lucky to have him. The statement about scoring may be true but I witnessed him bull dodge and put 2 Taz players on the ground, pass to an open attackman and score. This happened multiple times in the fourth. Madlax would be average at best without him.
The constant barrage of comments about the size of this kid is well deserved. He is over a head taller than everyone and moves like an 8th grader. He would be the biggest kid on some 2023 teams. I almost feel bad for the kid. Looks like a bully picking on kids.. Good thing he's "Of Age," Makes it all O.K.

The original post was obviously someone pretending to be a Madlax parent. First, no Madlax parent would misspell Madlax with a capital "L." And second, they would know that Madlax hasn't played LIE. It is too bad that people fall for the bait. But if you are going to post about an 11 year old kid, at least get the facts right. The big mid didn't run anyone over. One goal was a nifty backhand. The other goal was a laser from outside. The game winner was an unassisted goal by one of the attack. There are lots of big kids playing 2024. Freedom had a kid that was just as big. What sets this kid apart is that he is big and good. For years he played up with his older brother. Now that he is back on grade playing with his buddies from school, he really stands out. But that is not a reason to hate on him. Give the kid some credit.

Jealous of what lol. I'm jealous of some NBA players make 40 million a year. The greatest lacrosse players in the world make a season, what many of us make a month. Great sport , no question. To be jealous though, that's absurd.

Try coming to a game sober (or at least not hung over from a Springsteen concert) and you'll see a full team play. By they way, if you really have an issue with the age of any of the MadLax players, stop by the tent and let us know. I know you won't b/c only wimps pick on kids via anonymous posts. You should start worrying about your own sons and how they have a sorry father as a male-role model.

Ok... So I did stop by the tent and the The big boy's dad was not there. He was at his other son's tournament. Is his father 6'5?
Was this boy born 12 lbs and 25 inches? How can a 2024 kid grow to be this huge at this age?
5-3 TAZ starting the fourth quarter and then the coaches told the big boy to go win it.... He Literally Ran over TAZ from that point forward. He's a great player and Madlax is lucky to have him. The statement about scoring may be true but I witnessed him bull dodge and put 2 Taz players on the ground, pass to an open attackman and score. This happened multiple times in the fourth. Madlax would be average at best without him.
The constant barrage of comments about the size of this kid is well deserved. He is over a head taller than everyone and moves like an 8th grader. He would be the biggest kid on some 2023 teams. I almost feel bad for the kid. Looks like a bully picking on kids.. Good thing he's "Of Age," Makes it all O.K.

The original post was obviously someone pretending to be a Madlax parent. First, no Madlax parent would misspell Madlax with a capital "L." And second, they would know that Madlax hasn't played LIE. It is too bad that people fall for the bait. But if you are going to post about an 11 year old kid, at least get the facts right. The big mid didn't run anyone over. One goal was a nifty backhand. The other goal was a laser from outside. The game winner was an unassisted goal by one of the attack. There are lots of big kids playing 2024. Freedom had a kid that was just as big. What sets this kid apart is that he is big and good. For years he played up with his older brother. Now that he is back on grade playing with his buddies from school, he really stands out. But that is not a reason to hate on him. Give the kid some credit.

It's called jealously.

He wasn't born in '04 though. Which is fine because many Maryland teams have holdbacks/pre-first kids. It's the standard, not the exception. And to the poster saying they would be average without him, I think that goes for every team. Take the best player off of Taz/WP etc... and they are substantially worse.

Express 2nd team is great option

We? Are you playing in the game? What number are you?
Why don't you let the kids play and you shut your mouth! Another jerk-off living vicariously through his kid. 11 years old!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. Too bad no one around you lets you know how much of an [lacrosse] your are and how embarrassing it must be for your kid!

Face it, Strong Island dads. When Madlax 2024 shows up, you guys are playing for 2nd.

I love how much it kills you guys.

1st year of travel? Stick with a organization that has 2 teams in his age group. Express or Outlaws maybe good starts.

Elite 8 tourney, didn't Madlax lose to WP and Taz in the same weekend, the scores are still up on tourney machine if you want to check.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one, now beat it loser troll.

Long Island dads = blue collar trash.

My son plays for the Outlaws. He was on the Gold team this past year. They had an amazing year. Won 4 tournaments and beat some good teams. The director is a really good guy. He is fair and honest. We played for another organization prior and it was awful. I would at the very least look into it. You can call him and he will answer or get back to you very quickly.

The coach is a high energy guy. He is extremely committed to the team and familes. Teacher by trade, and you'll get a great experience with him.

Doesn't matter who the coach is... Madlax is the only team that matters in this age group! Don't waste your money! Stay on your REC team.

you are such a tool. you do this all year on this board and maryland 2024. Guessing you're not even a madlax parent which means you should seriously ask yourself why you are trying to stir things up. the answer is almost always your son got cut or doesn't play. i would guess this is an ex madlax mom who makes these statements so someone takes the bait to bash the team johnny got cut from.

I agree I have seen your coach and he is very committed. Your team had a great season and improved a ton, congrats. I will disagree about the Director, he is a complete jerk and always talks about Outlaws being a high end "Select " organization. I have had first hand experience with him and and can say his team's are mid level at best..
The end of season rating he gives your son is very informative, lol.
You call him and in 30 seconds he gives your kid a rating from 1-5 and hangs up. It was the most ridiculous phone calm I have even been on....

Outlaws suck! Madlax rules! Taz sucks! Madlax rules! WP sucks! Madlax rules! That is all you need to know.

Someone is having a conversation with themselves. Stop already You won some really bad b tournaments and everyone and there brother had to hear about it congrats coach you are self promoting enough already

Guess you will not be on new select team, to bad. Director talks to every parent and discusses kid coaches and team. Your right he sucks.

Express missing fogo. Shows they are nothing without him.

Eclipse used a bunch of 6th graders and still lost to Wolf Pack. Go back to CT.

Heard there was a long conversation regarding next year and WP. What positions are up for grabs next year??

From what i heard team was folding.

4 weeks of summer man, I don't care what's up grabs where. I'm laxed out. 4 weeks of beach,beers, barbaques. Then football heats up.

Eclipse was mostly 2023 kids

Sure you did

Just curious why do you say that about eclipse?

It was an entirely different team.

Anyone know if LI lax clash is on this summer? Can not find any info other the usual countdown from my tournament .com

What happen to Taz? Express gave them a good run. They lost to Eclipse and Wolfpack! So much for the best team. I'm sure they will be looking for new players.

Just enjoy the Tournaments!!! Great Lacrosse at a High level!!! TAZ, WP, ECILPSE, EXPRESS .. ALL GOOD TEAMS.

Pack clearly he best team on Long Island this year. Taz will re-tool. They need to find a replacement for the chosen one. Express needs a committed coach. They have a solid core but a coach that doesn't care. Crazy but tryouts start this week.

Better kids I am sure would want to go the Express way - tryouts coming up. The issue is from all accounts is the coach just doesnt care and is not committed. Coaching change coming?

Pretty funny. Wolfpack and Taz went 2 and 2 this year. Yesterday's game went to double OT. I would say the teams are pretty even. Great competition. Helps everyone get better

Express did not Give Taz a run. PLEASE.....TAZ-WP game was the best of The Tourney. WELL DONE BY BOTH TEAMS....

The coach is a director. No change in coaching happening.

WP dominated Taz yesterday. If not for unconscious performance by Taz goalie, score would not have been close. Outstanding job #11!! Eclipse barely competitive vs WP.

Easy Keyboard Cowboy. Down 4-0 and 5-2 is not a domination. Stop with this.. It was an incredible game and an incredible performance by the goalie but by no means Dominated. If I recall a shot made it to the back of the cage as the whistle blew in the first OT to give the Win to TAZ??? Gotta love the NLF with the quick whistle.
Pack vs TAZ are the best 2024 lax has to offer. Congrats to WP.

Eclipse is a very good team, one of their middies is one of the best 2024's I have seen in a while. I watched them play in the other semi final vs Triple H, it went to OT, but Triple H dominated 99% of the game.

True Blue played in A brackets and made every championship this year. They are up and coming at every age. I would check them out.

Easy cowboy. A brackets? Seriously? Very good B team. And would be a good starting point. But by no means are they top tier. Played in some weak tournaments. They beat some good teams. But mostly beat c teams. Definitely like T shirts.

Team 24 is a good option.

Making the championship in the LI Lax Fest and Patriot games is sounds like an A team to me. Both A brackets also.

Great lacrosse to watch, Great level of lacrosse, Just be proud of your children that they work hard and that they are part of it. STOP with who is the best... REALLY !!! GROW UP!!!!! its all about the kids ... NOT THE PARENTS...

Team 24 is a pre-picked team, you would be handing over a tryout fee for nothing. Igloo is a much better option if you want to spend $$$. there are so many teams, good luck I hope you find the right one so your kid can have a blast. Before their tryouts Igloo usually posts a packet on their website with every thing they do Fall Winter Spring and Summer. My 24 son doesn't play for igloo because I have 2 other older sons playing (non igloo) but igloo has always impressed me with their tryouts and information.

As a parent isn't that a good thing? Rather have coaches there worried more about coaching then making money. My son doesn't play there but doesn't seem like a bad model if that's what it is.

Are you saying 24 is better than Igloo?

24 2024 team is absolutely 100% pre-picked. Don't lie to people. The second team they will take from the tryout, but there A team which is a decent B team is all the same kids - pre picked. and if its not you need to stop one of your parents from trolling the sidelines telling good players parents to come over. The worst sidelines too, good coach but parents are the absolute worst around. Of course this is just one mans honest opinion. Igloo is an A+ organization, their 2024 team like most needs some work, but if they have good players at their tryouts they will get a spot.

I second the 24 pre picked claim.. u started with the 24 group unless u going to [lacrosse] off people that team is pre picked. I have 24 and younger would not go anywhere near them for 2024, to many better options... and the fool working the sidelines with th 50 practices claim, there's your problem.

Let me guess your part of another team and 24 is hurting your pockets. So talk [lacrosse] about one of those guys and try to make them look bad. Nice try. Anyway. Spineless. Tell him that when you see him. I'm sure that would go off good.

People on the team are "over the Moon"...move on and worry about your own team

Ill let Nick know next time i see him to tone it down. No need to rip the organization because of one over enthusiastic parent. Some parents need to tout their kids travel team in order to legitimize their choice. I bought a Kia once and told all my friends how great it drives, good on gas, Blake Griffin drives one, Motley Crue owns a few, you know all the things that would make my car seem legit. See what i did there compared 24 to a kia, i dont really drive one and thank god my son and I can choose our club program.

I don't understand why people come to this sight and talk a bout other clubs worry about your club. You think this guy is the only one who likes his team and wants good players to come to it. Please it happens all the time but you don't like him I get it. Who care move on.

Bring 2 gold coaches up

Is the team already picked or are they looking for players?

The older the boys get the less spaces on any team.

Outlaws 100 percent have spots. Looking to make a VERY good team.
Contact Them

Very true. the older they get the harder it gets to knock a kid out of a spot. You not only have to make the team you have to knock a kid out of a spot.

I heard Shore2Shore has a great 2023 team that competes with all the best teams, and they are opening up to other grades including 2024. I watched the 2023 team beat the express A team a few months ago- a group of talented kids. Could be a great option for anyone that looking to make a move.

Don't Lie-
outlaws have no spots..

Do they have other teams than 2023? Most the kids left that team this year.

Really? Please tell me that you are not a parent, if so, I feel so bad for your kid. What a pathetic comment. I'm not sure what is worse, the comment or moderators allowing a comment like that to be posted on a kids lacrosse forum?

Really??? Have you read this site before?? This is normal here. You don't like it get off the site. I am sure he didn't mean to speak badly of your profession.

So, you're actually justifying the use of his language and comparisons on lacrosse forum site. Must be the same parent.

In the fall it was express a- haugen

Thats always the big question. Who is coaching. Well? These answers should be there before any fees are paid, to any team imo.

why did kids leave 2023, if that is even a fact? Love the tryout rumors -

Bad program. Trust me. FYI all That's all I'm going to say

Can you please expand a bit without calling anyone out. That is one of the programs my son will be trying out for, however I am no sure how a outsider would be viewed since that team has been together for a few years and probably all live in the same area.. If it's daddy ball i can stay away from that.

You do realize if you don't use the quote feature that no one knows what post/team you are referring to?? Why is this site so hard for so many people??!

Let's be real- Most people that are on here complaining about clubs are:
1.) People who's kids did not make the team or 2.) people who's kids play on the team but they never see the field. Maybe the kid never sees the field because he isn't playing well, maybe he has a bad attitude, or maybe the coaches kid plays the same position and you feel it isn't fair. Regardless, you are not doing your kid any favors by spreading negativity and complaining. Chances are your reputation as a whiner will get your kid blackballed from every team, because nobody wants to deal with it. If you are not happy, and you think little johnny isn't being treated fairly, go find greener pastures.

whats a bad Program? how are the Outlaws?

not true at all!!! ALOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO BRAG !!! PARENTS WHO THINK ITS ABOUT THEM

Outlaws Going to be top team this age. Just watch and see. Maybe get on board before train rolls in
Skull and Bones
Pay no attention to the creeps that put down every program. Check them out and talk to those that have played , and know coaches

Will there still be an Outlaws "B" team?

Yep, that's a real risk on an anonymous board . . .

24 program is legit 4 Reels! They were able to go 4-0 in a very tough Yale bracket, without one of their main coaches, I believe the Latin American gentleman.

Two teams for the Outlaws.

OK Pat. Lets be clear everybody knows your program is terrible. Your 2024 select coach was the worst. He was either fired or parents hated him to the point where everyone was leaving. Now you are replacing him with the B team coaches and that is a smart move. That being said if the B team didn't have their center middie that team would have been terrible as well. He was the B teams whole offense.
Best of luck in tryouts but I would bet $ your reputation has already been hammered and you won't be getting much talent at tryouts. No parent in there right mind should let there kid play there.

Lol. Nice post. Clearly you played the team once and no doubt lost. I'm surprised by that since your team must be so well rounded and they only had one player. While the player you speak of is a great player. It takes a team to win. Stick with it coach, you will get there.

True fact ... every single Outlaws booster I have ever met left disgruntled and quickly. One year they were wearing all the silly garb and the next year they wouldn't even discuss it. Everyone a bad breakup. As being tops you guys didn't belong in any real A bracket. Pat put you in the A bracket with the big dogs at forsberg to impress the parents but kept you away from the top teams and you still didn't win a game. New players will come as they will grab another coach willing to recruit from his PAL roster and turn over the names

Been with Outlaws a long time. Didn't know they had boosters.

You are right we played them. My assessment was spot on and you know it. That boy is a very good player no doubt. The post wasn't about him though. It was about your terrible overall program. You will not get good players because your reputation has spoken for itself at this point. Your coaches are embarrassing. Everyone sees it by the product that is on the field. Any good parent should take this as a public service announcement.

True Fact.....you have no clue what your talking about. Outlaws went 2-1 in forsberg. All the boosters you ever met? Obviously you met them because they left the program, I'm sure they had valid reasons, but I'm also sure if they had a legitimate beef they would have told you. Your on here spreading this BS in hopes to get better players to your program. Then next year maybe you won't have to cry about losing a game. Just worry about your program and stop bashing others because your jealous your not here. Thanks for playing though.

24 you are trying out to make the second team, first team is set.

fact, everyone wants to be on the winning team. Fact, it takes time to build a good team, OUTLAWS need work, but they are working on it!! . The fact that you even replied to this post you are on a losing team, and you prob. blame everything around you for all the losses. Quit your crying and find something better to do. It takes a real man to put down others to make themselves feel better.

The 1st 24lax team is definitely not set. I know first hand. You are just spreading non-sense because you have an axe to grind. So sad.

OUTLAWS GOLD was a tough Team this year came a long way from last season. Their center mid outstanding , I agree with that. They def need more Balance on the squad. Maybe the combo will help them.

Our coaches are embarrassing, we don't get good players. So what does that say about your crappy organization? Cause I'm pretty sure we probably best you. Your attempt to bash this organization to attract parents to your program are weak. Everyone can see what your doing. Your probably from the south shore area.

That's great for him. Good kid, good player. Best of luck to him where ever he plays. Real difference maker.

That's the case everywhere. All teams do it. If there a better player he will get the spot. If not the same kid will get it if you can't figure that out then your to new to the travel game.

mid are placed left, center, right but can move anywhere, that person was just being a DB.

If by center mid you mean a face off kid, yes they can win you many games.. not so much against the better teams unless the wings and attack are good too Also against better teams with a good face off kid you will be lucky with a 60% win percentage. Thats 6 out of 10 for my Outlaw families.

A division is quite a broad term nowadays. Against Taz,WP and Schalje. Yes. They get smoked. Against any other A team on LI. They have better than a punchers chance.

Good numbers at Igloo tryouts. Still no announcement on head coach. Hopefully they make the tough but necessary (and obvious) change.

Instead of hating on the team. Bring your boy to tryouts. Maybe he makes it. But I doubt it. Because you probably left last year and are now so pissed cause your team [lacrosse] the bed all year and this team played really well. So why not trash the Outlets on BOTC now. Grass isn't always greener, but I guess you know that now.

Someone, maybe the owner, should have the stones to tell him what is obvious to every parent who has been there the past couple years. He and his kid belong on the B team. More top players will flee again

The Igloo team will be better this year simply because with the early tryouts they will pickup solid kids that were holed as b team kids other places but are good enough to play on A teams or A level players that want to practice closer to home. Its a good opportunity for kids/parents that feel its important to be on the A team in an organization. Very good coaches at Wolfpack and Taz but the reality is most anyone would be successful coaching at the 3rd,4th and 5th grade level with the talent that they have on those teams.Although it will be tough on some parents and kids, i'd expect half that Igloo team to be different this year. I really believe that the early tryouts were done specifically to get this team going.

Guessing you lack those "stones" since your not doing it. Takes a mighty brace man to send another in to fight his battles!

You can't use the word outstanding for any kid on a team like this. They don't play anyone. Unless these outstanding kids are playing against top level talent there is no way of putting them ahead of others . I watch this team play the WP and Taz and none of these boys did anything. It's time for the one or two kids on this team to move onto the better teams. Why would you keep them at this level? Having your son be the best on a sub B squad is not something anyone should be aiming for. I've been in the same boat and this year I have made a decision to move on.

Get rid of Shawn and the team will be better he's a daddy coach not a real coach. I'm not paying this money for this bs

The Igloo team will be better this year simply because with the early tryouts they will pickup solid kids that were holed as b team kids other places but are good enough to play on A teams or A level players that want to practice closer to home. Its a good opportunity for kids/parents that feel its important to be on the A team in an organization. Very good coaches at Wolfpack and Taz but the reality is most anyone would be successful coaching at the 3rd,4th and 5th grade level with the talent that they have on those teams.Although it will be tough on some parents and kids, i'd expect half that Igloo team to be different this year. I really believe that the early tryouts were done specifically to get this team going.

They also got burned doing late Aug tryouts last year

Any idea where they play winter ball I could not get that answer yesterday? I would think that is a pretty good question. Winter schedule and location

they played at Alley Pond park.

You're a dic$ and everyone here knows you could pay 6k and they wouldn't take your kid. Should you be getting ready for the 24 B team tryout?

I believe the 2024 group will now be coached or trained by Anthony Alexander the Director. At least that is what I heard.

Yet, you'll see him at attack, midfield and man up. Maybe he should bring a long pole to tourneys as well.

He could hand the current coach an all star team of WP and Taz and he would ruin it.

Guessing you lack those "stones" since your not doing it. Takes a mighty brace man to send another in to fight his battles!

Doing what? Firing someone who doesn't work for him? If only he was a brace man....he could come into your place of employment and fire you.

You guys are nuts. That coach is great (repeat GREAT) for kids at this age. Stop the hate. My son plays on a "better" club because of geography/convenience. I wish I could swing it to have my son taught by the coach of that team.

Pretty easy to talk about "stones" when you're not willing to show any yourself! Seems like you're "stoneless". Cowboy up and do something you BOTC warrior.

Where did you watch them play WP and Taz? On your 2024 youth club lacrosse game on XBox? Cause they played neither of those teams. And this team played some top level talent and won. Check your tourney machine and get back to us with some more enlightening BS.

Hey Stupid...you are posting anonymously and calling someone else spineless and a [lacrosse].

Hahah get ready for 24 B team tryout. I love it. Do your really need to get ready for that? or can you walk in after a day at the beach, sun burned and make that team. No offense but the 50 practices you had didn't work.

Express goalie just got lit up today in town play. That's why they are looking for a new one

Real nice. I hope this kid's parents don't have to read your donkey comments. When will you grow up??? Perhaps it's true, you don't have grow up only grow old. It would be great if your kid decides to quit lacrosse. Oh no!!! What will you do? How will you live vicariously through him now!!! Your hopes of another Paul Rabil just got shattered!!! Loser

It's a team game, moron.

Team game, jackwagon

Really we just played them. We are all friends. Parents get along. You have to go there with that bs next topic. Please

So your blaming a goalie for letting in goals ? How about the shots he saved. My god. Goalie played great today.

News flash . If you are talking about Express team in the Oyster Bay tournament that is the 4th team that have in that age group. They are a PAL team. Atleast one of the Pal teams that doesnt cut anyone

Express needs a coach that shows up before they need a goalie. Your an [lacrosse]!!!!

I understand the boy has to be lights out but are the coaches even open to taking new boys? Some are, some aren't.

It's set unless you got a call from one of the coaches or directors asking for your son to try out.

That team is Really good. I would always encourage kids to try out , you never know. I will say its one of the Top teams at that level.

That is one of the Best teams at that age level. IF you feel your son has the ability, its always worth trying. you never know. I will say , there is room for improvement on that team, Just like any team ...But Not Much.

I know the TAZ coach very well and he is no doubt open to new players. Great guy as well.

If they said no, nobody would attend tryouts. Tryouts generate a lot of revenue for the business. Most likely 2,3 kids will be added from tryouts. If 50 kids attend at 100 a pop, 22 kids out of 24 on team will make it. 2 will leave or be asked to leave, playing time, not a good fit etc. Thar means out of the other 28 kids, 2 or 3 will make it. Most likely coaches know those kids in advance. So unless an unknown kid, is lights out at tryouts, it will be real hard to make that team. It's not a bad idea to attend a few tryouts, 3,400 bucks, it may be worth it to see what's out there.

Wish.

lots of changes on all rosters. Besides taz and wp i say all other teams will have 6-10 changes.

Daddy Coach at its finest. Its like the textbook definition. This isn't 2nd grade, its 6th grade. Daddy has to move over and let the athletes get on the field. No clue why anyone would put $ over there.

Don't be surprised if TAZ and PACK make changes this summer. A lot of holes on both teams.

Every team can improve agreed, but don't say a lot of holes. An average or below average team there is a lot of holes. These 2 teams are in the top 5, probably in the country, so how can you say a lot of holes. That makes no sense.

Warrior all America looks like it flopped. Only 4 teams.

Anyone familiar with the tenacious turtles?

Omg I so agree and this is done on most teams where Dads coach and have sons on their teams. Why do you think dads coach for so long, so their boys can stay protected by them because if left on their own skill these boys would be on less talented teams. Sixth graders are at a middle school level and need to be on appropriate skill level teams.

Holes are everywhere especially on these teams that are committed to winning. Go to tryouts and get sized up.

unbelievable barone is still involved. Fail by owner. Boys will under achieve again

Correct me if I'm wrong, but every sport my son has played over the past 7 years, since he was 4 has been a dad coach. Youth coaches are usually dad coaches aren't they. How many people actually earn livings coaching youth teams. I'm sure there are some, but I haven't seen any. My son has played 3 sports a year. That's 21 sets of coaches/assistant coaches, every single one has been a dad coach.

Agreed. there will be a lot of turnover this year on all teams intending on heading to World Series in 2019. If there was a time to try to get on one of the more competitive teams, WP and Taz included, it's this year.

THE WORST. My kid didn't get a spot on this team after he put in 6 hours at two days of tryouts in 95 degree heat. Guess who didn't have to do that? Where was he?

What tryouts are this weekend?

True Blue. Should be a great turnout.

4 teams in the entire country at 2024! What a complete bust and failure. To waste a weekend of the precious summer that is barely left. Long Island wins every game by 10-12 goals. The organization that ran this should refund all the money.

It's not a dad issue, he's just a [lacrosse] coach. Team ruiner.

Daddy coaches are everywhere, Outlaws included.

Except for maybe 2 or 3 players the WP doesn't need to make any changes. They have some of the best kids in the sport at this age. Taz needs a few tweaks and they will stay in the top tier always and be a great opponent for the WP and Express is a couple of players away from being a top tier team. The few other teams need some overhaul to start competing at this level. Middle school is approaching fast and the goal should be to get your kid in a situation where the competition is at a high-level so when they do enter MS or HS they are prepared. Made the mistake with my 2018 and kept him in a semi to non-competitive situation and it turned out blowing up in my face when he got to MS/ HS. He's a good player but not the caliber of player that the kids who stayed on the high competitive teams are. Yes there will always be that one two or three kids that show up in middle school and grab the stick for the first time and become a stud but times are changing very quickly and these kids that are playing at a high-level now are moving the ball quicker faster and their skills/IQ are getting so sharp at a young age that it will be very hard for a large group of boys to just show up and think they can compete. Made the mistake once won't make it again

Express will have a much bigger turn over than you think...at least 10 spots up for grabs.

Most decent travel teams pay their coaches - yes, some of them have boys on the team, and some of those boys get better opportunities - playing time and/or team - than they might otherwise, but many teams have paid coaches with no connection to players. Don't mix in PAL, local soccer, and/or baseball, or any other community sports with travel - the former is almost all parents as coaches. It's an apples to oranges comparison with travel lacrosse.

Most are probably more qualified.

yes youth town sports cause they are volunteer ..but clubs should not let dads coach their kids age group even if they are qualified when they are getting paid thousands

Daddy Coach at its finest. Its like the textbook definition. This isn't 2nd grade, its 6th grade. Daddy has to move over and let the athletes get on the field. No clue why anyone would put $ over there.[/quote]

THE WORST. My kid didn't get a spot on this team after he put in 6 hours at two days of tryouts in 95 degree heat. Guess who didn't have to do that? Where was he? [/quote]

Your kid must stink.[/quote]

yes that's why we tried out...the whole team stinks so thought it would be the perfect fit for my son

Express will have a much bigger turn over than you think...at least 10 spots up for grabs.

Express B yes, not Express A
They just need a coach who will show up

What a ridiculous comment. You have no idea what you are saying. If you play for O'rielly you should consider yourself lucky. He cares about the kids and is a good dude. Anyone on here that says otherwise is either bitter or clueless.. You should get over A and B nonsense and pay attention to if your kid is getting better and having fun. This [lacrosse] is over fast and you are missing the view by worrying about your seat.

What teams are looking for an upgrade at attackmen?

Agreed- O'rielly is a very good coach. But the A-guy does not know how to develop or coach these young boys. Great HS coach, but He has NO clue about evaluating young talent.

Exactly my point. Worry about the coach and your kids development. The rest is all parents making themselves feel good. Is every team including Express "B" perfect, no. That being said O'Reilly always listens and is open to figuring things out for the betterment of the kids. Now if you think that is a bad thing, be our guest and find a better fit.....

Legacy guy here and will say oreilly busts his [lacrosse] training anybkid he can get. He gets them to play.

You are mistaken with Taz and WP. Seems some didn't get the message. It will be the best man for the job moving forward. No favors, package deals, or bigmouth sideline jerks need attend tryouts this year. Concerned about your sons playing time or lack thereof here's some good advice: go elsewhere. You don't like the assistant coach/owner: go somewhere else. Again it will be best man for the job even if he is out of state. Those teams show up to win. This isn't 3rd grade. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a large turnover.

yup. guess how many kids on the Express A 2025s and 2024s had O'reilly first as their coach.

How do you know? Question- Will you be leaving Legacy? not looking to start a convo as to why.... just asking if Legacy parents are having their kids try out on other leagues...

He gets most kids to love the sport. Agreed, he's not for everyone but compared to most coaches of B teaches he's the best you will get and your son will learn to love the game, which is what it should be about.

Anyone that has a chance to make either of these teams, would have received a phone call asking them to come down for a work out. But they will be happy to grab your money.

Call them. they are good at getting back to you. They might have lost you in the process. And if you want to have your son play for them, tell them.

I'm lost on how people can commit to even a tryout without knowing who the head coach is. Each club team is different from team to team. It's all about the coach!! Even great Org's have poor coaching.
Good luck.

What is the story with Shore 2 Shore? I know a new team but do they have kids coming in that can play? Coaches set up ?

REALLY

No, First round of calls went out for A. Depending on who accepts another round of A calls will go out if needed. Once A is set B calls will go out.

Coach is Isaac Neil is the coach. If they are serious about this team they will move the couple of 2024's on the 2023 roster down to the 2024 team otherwise if will be another team like 24 or worse.

Neal and Rooney are both involved with other clubs.... if they break off with NineDOne and Outlaw$ it may be good, if they split it may be bad.

Rooney is gone from 91 as his older boy is aged out of the program. He is all yours now. Take my Coach, please!

Neal and Rooney both left those clubs. They are both with S2S. Neal is head coaching the 2024s.

Pretty sure they'll bring 91 and Outlaws kids over. We went to their Free clinic, definitely won't be anywhere near as bad as twenty4

Last point on O'Reilly. At least when your get the invite and see his name on it - you know exactly what your getting. You may think he does too many teams, or not like his style, but your son gets 10 months of solid instruction. Not the mystery college kid, that shows up whenever and doesn't know how to respond to an email.

91 has "encouraged" a few of their lesser skilled players to tryout there. Those players may or may not be replaced based on the turnout at tryouts. There were no calls made from 91 to poach players, but there were some feelers put out to the coach to see if they had a shot. That was met with a simple, "see them at tryouts". He's not playing around this year. No guarantees, no favors. Positions will be given out based on skill and skill alone.

Pretty sure they'll bring 91 and Outlaws kids over. We went to their Free clinic, definitely won't be anywhere near as bad as twenty4

lol--worry about fielding a team without combining years-- go back to your busch beer and finish cutting your lawn.

That's so a crock of [lacrosse]. And you know it. S2S is a joke keep telling everyone your good. Stop. Get off this sight your a clown. Is this bar texting for your team.

I don't think Neal had a lot of contact with the 2024s. So not sure how many kids will follow

S2S is a farce. No shot at being competitive on an elite level. Glorified PAL team.

I did. You should get gmail. Friday evenings and Sunday mornings at the Hub in Syosset. 3 sessions/week in total, can go to 1, 2 or all 3. FOGO and goalie training available as well.

Coaches are key. Which is why I'm giving S2S a shot. Why not, when it's about how the kids develop. Not the sticker on the car that I lease. Some of you need to get your priorities straight, do what's best for your kid not your ego.

Noone wants Barone involved. Dont know Selhorn....but the fact that he trusts Barone to make tryout decisions is already a bad sign.

So if you have a sticker on your car, that team doesn't have good coaches?

You have to do what you believe is best for your son. Hope it works out. And you get what's advertised

Me too

Ok Todd

Is USPA Titans like Team 24, are they a travel team or hybrid. They are popping up everywhere if you look on their website they seemed to be already established.

But do you lease a brand new model? Don't you make sure that model of car gets the feedback as to quality?

Waiting is best, why leap in to the unknown with your son.

Titans just pulls the best kids from the top teams to make an all-star team then enters B tournaments. Really sad actually

How many teams is true having this year. They had almost 40 kids on the team last year

They did not have 40 kids on the team! This is not Express! But, yes, they had an unmanageable 28 or 29, and they are looking to go with two teams at the 2024 level, much as they have for the 2023s.

They say 2 every year and end up with one due to lack of coaching.

That is high for a new organization. They are asking people to take a hence they need to have a lower price tag the first year.

I think they might have two coaches available with no 2019 team . . .

2550 seems average to less than average for club teams these days. we all have to remember these are businesses and if they cant sustain they go out of business. Express and Igloo closer to 4K. I think 2550 is fair for good coaching.

what team is charging this price

Simple addition of the not included fees
reveals that the 2550 is really $3050.

Wrong on the Express price. Last year it was $2800. It was your choice to do the extra. And Express has been around and just won the World Series. This is a NEW. Club. Anyone who pays $2550 base price for a new club is stupid and desperate. AFTER they prove themselves in at least 2 years that price is fine. Otherwise it's ridiculous. They need to prove themselves before charging anything close to Express's base price. At least you know what you are getting with the other clubs.

Does anyone know anything about this Duke's Nationals team having tryouts at Hofstra?

What do you need to know?

So still the question remains: how do you figure a team proves themselves, if they don't charge money to get gear, play in tournaments, practice/Train??? The only reason Ezpress or any club for that matter, is "proven" is because they get a large number of kids to tryout and get to pick 30 from 120. Why is it wrong of another club to do the same? Should Division 1 prospects not go to Utah because they aren't "proven?" Or, maybe they start a new trend and battle the "provens." It's always so easy for the bench players to talk like starters, especially when they don't get much time...

2024 team is not very competitive. Strong at 2023

2024 is awful, save your money, they can't even beat 4th grade team

They grab different kids each weekend. The best they can get. So it depends on the weekend and who is free.
The Chosen One plays for them sometimes.

2024 is absolutely horrible. I watched them get man handled at Mitchell Field by that 4th grade Colorado team.

In defense of Dukes- Most of the kids work hard, go to mini camps, all year, but the fact is the director throws out his model when tourney pops up. Kids show up and start that don't go to mini camps, I got news for you Gonzo- You created the depth chart. If you hired 2 coaches, and ran the team like a professional, and lived by your rules, The team would have a waiting list to play. Stop taking short cuts

What a joke the Warrior tournament is. No competition what so ever for Long Island 2024. Complete waist of time and money.

You were warned...It's was always a complete money grab

I'm here and my son is having a great time. The competition is terrible. Nice for kids to play with some other kids they usually play against but that is it. Mistake made and making the best of it. Some of the kids that made this team aren't close to the level of the others on the team.

Nice try troll. Now go back and make the best of mowing your lawn. Or is that what your neighbor does while you're at work.

Warrior tournament is a joke. Weak players, weak competition and we paid for weak uniforms and a piece of crap helmet. At least we a going to win the Championship easy.

Or maybe it's because as his kids start to underachieve he has to switch clubs for yet another "fresh start".

Was looking at grrenport tournament and saw a team called
Kingsmen. Never heard of them. Anyone have any
Ideas who they are and where they are from?
Tourney machine didn't update results so have no
Idea how 2024 age bracket did.

No 2024 Kingsmen at oyster bay. It's kings park middle school team. Farmingdale won 2024 and Massapequa won 2024. There were 2 even brackets. Fun tournament.

And so did you . Extra lacrosse that doesn't conflict with existing travel club. 2024 isn't that good and all that means is that they haven't had the right kids at camp- this isn't a team -- it's a roster of ranked camp players that are invited to come and play .
They will always be as good as who is available to play- do the camp , get measured and move on. There is nothing like this available at the moment - if it's not for you don't go.

This is not a team -

Did anybody think about this first before putting the Warrior All American Games together..... other than how much money they would make. You can't even tell the kids apart with these horrible uniforms and the competition, well there is none. TAZ again with the Championship.

Agreed
Duke's national team is a joke for sure

Greenport was a fun day, watched some adult games after the 2024's were done.... Harvey's lacrosse club was a fun team to watch, Harvey Cohen tribute.. love it! Great day and glad the weather held out for the late games.

For all the hype, Warrior is just another crappy attempt to make money and without 91 LI pushing it a total disaster.
Advertised 14 regional teams, ended up with 4 in 2025, 4 in 2024, 6 in 2023, 5 in 2022, and 5 in 2021.

at least warrior was able to sell some more shty helmets, gloves and warps at $695 per player.

I saw the Kingsmen there, do not think they were from kings park. They look like a team made for tournaments . Not sure though. They seemed very solid .

Very nice to hear. Harvey was an unforgettable and absolutely great man. He is on the Mount Rushmore of Long Island Lacrosse. Unfortunately, 90% of the people don't have any idea of what he did for this sport and the amazing life he lead.

Very Familiar....Good for him. Lives in every state on the East Coast. Must be a tough commute to Wading River Elementary from Charlotte?
Next year. god forbid they do this again, I vote they give away the helmets and wraps at the end,,,This way I can see the same Clubs helmets playing for L.I., SouthEast and maybe Cali?
Complete ripoff

Not a Taz or WP guy but aren't 3 out of the top 5 point leaders WP boys? Why are you saying Taz dominated

2 of the 3 voted "all-American" were Taz Faceoff and Taz attack.

You know who looks familiar? The pack of losers with the fat beer bellies, quadruple chins and mastic goatees drinking themselves into blackout in front of their kids at the Residence Inn while one fat boy leads the "pack" on this forum to demoralize an 11 year old boy. That's familiar. Saw it all season with this crew

you will see more of the Harveys Lacrosse club in the future. Possibly at younger ages. It is good to hear someone is remembering a true GIANT.

Everyone of the WP, TAZ kids could have been picked "All- American" on that team!! The kids moved the ball to each other and it did not matter who actually scored the goal at the end. To say that "TAZ or even WP dominated" is incorrect, the LI team played good enough as a team to win.and the boys had fun playing and hanging out with each other. I will say this, Some kids did not belong on that team and it showed on the field!!

Yeah maybe your kid will finally make a team...

Tourney incorrect 8-5 win in championship. Warrior should correct this. Fact is team was a dominating true 2024 LI representation of talent! Congrats to these boys for their hard work and dedication. They played the game hard and pure. They were rewarded with the championship that they earned by being the best 2024's out their.

the correct statement is nothing matters in 2024 - they're 10 - 11 years old . . .!

Nice job Taz Dad. Tourney Machine was changed to 8-5. Now you can say your baby boy dominated my baby boy by 3 gigantic points.

"The beer belly has spoooooooooken!" If the tournament was such a joke, why do you stay on here and talk about it and make up things all day? Go landscape or change oil or whatever beer belly guys do on a Monday in Patchogue, LI.

Better than 1.....considering that was the actual score of the championship game. The LI 2024s deserve to have the facts correct since they weren't playing 2024s from the "southeast". Something should be the actual truth. Great job warrior for correcting the tourney scores!!

Wondering if we should try out for express 2024. I have heard nothing but negatives about Schwalie. Terrible team chemistry. Fogo won't leave the field. Coach doesn't care. Coach doesn't show. And more. Honest thoughts please.

We own this grade, lol, kid give the phone back to your mom. Stop playing on this site.

The LI 2024's know what the score was. Kids aren't logging on to stare at old scoreboards on tourney machine. The only people rechecking scores from past youth games is you. I wonder how boring your life is. Maybe focus on that

If you heard all these negative remarks and believe them, why even give it a thought? It's more like you tried out last year and he didn't pick you so you are bitter.

What team did your son play for this summer? Depends on his skill level and what he is used to with practices.

It's the same person who goes around complaining about everything. Hope you are happy with your new team. You can stop bashing express now.

Any info on the Long Island Dodgers ? Who is coaching 2024?
Tenacious turtles? Coach?

"We"??? What did you do on the field? And what exactly do 'you' own? Some T-Shirts?? I'm sorry you must live vicariously through your children to offset the failings you have had in life, but it's pathetic nonetheless! You attempt to criticize others by suggesting outward appearances imply character flaws, yet no matter what your appearances may be, it doesn't change that you are shallow and insecure.
