yes it seems like every time true blue loses there is some kind of excuse, and its funny how they have all these new great players already on the team a day after tryouts.
Anyone going to the outlaws tryout tonight? Can anyone share any insight into either team?

While possible, and there may be some preliminary contacts, especially for a new very talented player, I think TB is waiting until their last tryout day, which is next Monday, to form their teams for most ages. There are some notable exceptions to that, but I don't think the 2023 teams fall into that category.

No one waits until the last tryout to form a team. You risk a chance of losing players or not getting the ones you want. Everyone wants commitments immediately with a down payment. Thats why everyone is having tryouts earlier this year. Don't believe the clubs telling you that they want everyone to get it out of the way so you can enjoy your summer. Next year tryouts will be in the beginning of July, wait and see. They get earlier every year.

TB top 3 next year, will compete with anyone even with top MD teams.
Both Outlaw teams were talented last year. Combining the select and gold. Should be a very good showing at the tryout from what I have heard.

Great coaches who are committed to the boys development and want to compete but not at all costs. Don't listen to any noise about years past and lack of commitment from the coaches. This past year dispelled that notion as the team practiced consistently and regularly. Team will get better as the kids get older / stronger. They will look to narrow the gap between themselves and the top tier teams. There are opportunities on the team if your son is athletic and / or has good skills and coachable.
"Not sure what the hang up is with TB they are a solid team. Someone on here keeps posting they make excuses when they lose I don't think they do. Every single person on here complains when they lose they all say the other team had holdbacks that's the common excuse. I get it you don't like TB for whatever reason your entitled to your opinion. There a good team well coached and each year they get better not sure where all the animosity comes from."

My guess is because TB beats the $3k/year B teams and has been gaining ground on the A teams.

The above post is not a TB parent, but with a few new additions to Panthers, we'll be very good!

Oh my, if that isn't the funniest sh&$ I've ever heard on all of BOTC. Are you also taking the bluefish and Bengals? You won't come close to any of the top 10 clubs.

We will find out soon enough. Too many tryouts over next few days and weekend. They most likely will send out invites today or tomorrow to lock kids up. Parents won't wait 4-5 days if going to other tryouts.

Someone is stirring the pot. No Outlaw parent has come on BOTC claiming either team will compete with all the top A and B teams.
can someone provide some input as far as coaches go for these teams. are they invested and put the time in, good with the kids? good environment/families? i know throwing questions out like this can easily sink into a cesspool but i'd appreciate genuine feedback. i've heard some info from people i've spoken to but would appreciate more background.

That's funny since 1/2 the team left the Outlaws last year and had a Great experience last year on the Express Team We'd never go back

Same old story. Can you let it go. You are happy at Express and the ones that stayed plus the new families are happy with Outlaws. Your experience was not great in prior years. It has changed for the better so please stop bashing the Outlaws for an issue that was resolved a year ago.

Not likely you will get many constructive answers. Here is what I Have observed or heard .

Recon-fairly "new". Both teams are fairly competitive and the parents I spoke to at a tourney seemed happy.
Hitmen- Not as competitive. Fly low on the radar. Don't hear much about them either
Icon- there older teams are very competitive. The 2023's seem to be inconsistent. There was a mad exodus of kids a year or 2 ago.
Bluefish- I didn't see them at many tourneys. I don't think it is an overly competitive team.

Woukd love for others to weigh in. Not sure they will because they aren't one of the top!
Confused, are you speaking to the families that left for Express A, Express B, Igloo A or Igloo B - issue is resolved, best advice, just be quiet.

Why would someone from Express A bother with True Blue.
Why would someone from Express A bother with True Blue.

Exactly Express Dad typical pompous jerkoff remark. Most teams can be good with a bunch of holdbacks and 2022 players on it.

Hitmen and Recon tied a couple of times this past year. I believe both teams got solid talent at tryouts and both should be improving. Coaches for both teams are returning as well. Probably comes down to which practice facility are you closer too.

Icon not enough information

Bluefish - came out of the gate with a lot of teams their first year then all the younger teams started to look elsewhere. They still have younger teams but they're not competitive and often borrow kids from other teams. This depends on the team but I know the 2023 and 2022 team did this. Nothing wrong with it just stating facts.
So I guess by now Igloo has sent out invites to all of their pre-tryout invitees Was there much turnover? Did they land the lefty attackam they were after? Will it be another year of daddy ball? Will coach Leprechaun still be forcing the offense through his kid?
Has anyone heard anything after the Outlaws tryout?

Yes, a lot of kids got bumped to "B". The holdbacks stay under the cover as a 2023 grad year, and yes daddy ball remains.

What a bunch of whiney grown men!!! Let me state I am not with igloo but have watched them play against my son quite a few times and they are a well coached, very disciplined bunch of talented kids. And parents who have tons of class on the sidelines...unlike most of you on here.

by offense you mean the binder full of plays he calls? that the way lacrosse is played right with a binder of laminated plays every time down the field? Or maybe I'm just stupid and confused igloo for a football team instead of a lacrosse team.

Your life must blow if your down to trolling some team your kid can't make.
The Icon '23 coach is Pat Mcabe, he is also the director of the Icon program. Look him up, u would b hard pressed to find a better coach around. Multiple National championships as a player and coach, US Lacrosse hall of fame, team USA .........etc.

They were looking for a righty, and from what I saw there were a bunch at tryouts. I'm sure they got one, but none were noticeably better than what they had. Definitely no difference makers. I guess we'll see.

We know a bunch of 13 year old's who can make the team for now, and a few who shouldn't be on the team.
Where does Recon practice and what towns are the players from that make up the team.

They used to practice in Plainview, Hicksville, and sometimes in Farmingdale, so central Nassau . . .

At this age I would think so. It was invite only when they started. Would be hard to start swapping out players now. So unless someone voluntarily leaves I woukd say it is a waste of time and money.

Pimples?
Excitied to See the talent At the Dukes tryouts tomorrow. Should be top notch
They seem carry a lot of kids on both teams, and it appears a lot of them are attack too, but the starting Attack line on A team seems to be pretty solid.......
They could prob use another lefty or size though to round them off.

Recon did cut down the # of players from last year and I think they will do the same again, need better depth at attack position.

You are dreaming! Maybe they get 60. They don't even let the kids keep the pinnies. So dumb, did these bumpkins ever hear of marketing?

Their will be a decent number of kids since they combine their tryouts with their minicamps which is comprised of already existing team players. Thanks duke coach for reminding us about your tryout!

There were 105 kids total including the kids already on the team, so there were about 55 or 65 new kids max and that was for 4 grades.

I don't know anything about this dukes team but damn are they annoying!! They've been plastering there organization and this tryout minicamp whatever you want to call it all over botc for past few weeks.. hopefully theyve packed up and headed back to where they belong
DUKES can beat any of your LI a$$'s
Whoa big tough guy, when you play with a team of holdbacks you should win a$$
Classic AJ, afraid to play top Dukes team. All other top Express teams play, but AJ doesn't want to take the fear of another loss.

<yawn> cough-cough-Holdbacks-cough-cough
Dukes Nationals plays Long Island Express B Team and needs a bunch of Holdbacks to win. Shameful, very shameful.
I wouldn't be talking too much smack about AJ. Not only was he a great player, he is a good Coach. He is building something legit. Let's see what Dukes can do, besides your sh?t talking. Just another [lacrosse] in this site. Any good Coach, player has tasted defeat....part of the game A&&hole.
LOL.LOL.Sorry your son could not make Express. You should be happy that your son is on a solid B team like the Dukes!
Dukes showed up to play the best Express team, all were shocked to see a B Express team show. Sorry they took an beating.

At least that explains why you brought at least 4 holdbacks and 2 2022 from World series of lacrosse with you to play a 2023 team.
Even the guy wearing the black and white striped shirt couldn't believe the age difference
Way off base, if you weren't stuck in B tourneys all summer you would have seen the big kids playing for PT and FCA. All 2023 teams. Sorry you were playing Laxachussetts White all summer. Oh, it ok, you can still mislead all your friends and say your son is playing for the Express!
Hey man, we were home in 30 minutes - don't much care who is a 22 or 23 or how many were wearing WSYL gear, the kids were out gunned, but played hard. I will tell my friends that some sucker paid $2k a year to play on a national team that travels to play B teams.
Can someone summarize? Hard to follow what happened.

My son's team played next. I caught 3/4 of it, but what I saw was a silly waste of time
dukes and Express have beef pretty funny. Whats even funnier is Express parents complaining about the Duke holdbacks I guess they forgot they have about 4 or 5. Not including the kid that plays on the 2022 then goes down to 2023 games real class act Express is.
Dukes brought several teams to play Express teams on Sunday at Cedar Creek Park in Seaford. Their supposed 2023 team played the Express' Haugen team (2nd team). Dukes team had several players that had recently participated in the WSYL, as was clear by some of the gear they were wearing. This years WSYL event was for 2022's, not 2023's. It was crystal clear for anyone that watched the game, that several of the boys that played for the Duke's were older. Regardless of whether they were holdbacks, reclassifications, etc., they were noticeably larger and more physically mature then the Express' team. The Dukes program has to have victories to market their program and concept, and if it means that they need to stack a team to do so, it's what will sell the program to the parents that are looking for that result. Unfortunately it is the state of youth lacrosse today, that victories are more important then the development of the players, and organizations that are competing for players and revenue will do what they have to accomplish their goal. At the end of the day, these were exhibition games played by young boys that probably spent their afternoon at the pool or beach, and gave it far less thought then most of the adults that spend their time on these threads.

Funny how Dukes showed up to play Express A but played Express B. Express B showed up to play Dukes 2023 but were Shocked to see Dukes 2023 team full of 2022/2021. I guess both were unhappy. Hahaha.
Ha Ha .....keep talking loud mouth. From the way you are talking, Your a disgrace to the sport, and probably never played competitive ball. All good teams lose more then once, it's all how about how to rally back...respectfully.

Pot meet kettle. Express does the same thing. That 3k/year is all about player development and nothing to do with lining MC's pockets. Lol!

Dukes are a joke. Not a team.. Holdbacks and grade up garbage.
1 WSYL player on DN 2023 and he's an 10/04 birthday so he'll be eligible next year too. Yes, definitely bigger faster stronger, just not older. Keep telling yourself that they are holdbacks if it makes you feel better, but please stop harassing the 12 year old boys during the game.

There are ZERO hold backs on 2023 Express Haugen, all of the boys are 11 & 12, can't speak for any other teams.
Pretty True assessment, by this poster! No real standouts at any position on Dukes, except for their goalie, he played very well. Just bigger, stronger, older. Congratulations you beat an age appropriate B team. I you played Haugen's team, you would have got your asses handed to you.

HAHAHA You must be that fat Dukes parent that came waddling over to the stands to claim your son was only 12. Tell him to enjoy his size advantage because judging by the gene pool he's destined to be 5'7" 315 waddling around the crease
Throw all the cheap shots you want, won't erase the fact that PT got hammered in the finals, good luck next year.

10/2004 birthdate makes him a 2022 in NY. So yes, he is older than players on a NY team. 2023 in NY is Dec 2004-Nov 2005.
So who organized these games? I just see it as Apples and Oranges when you have a organization that is pulling kids from various clubs together a few times a year to play together vs. a club team whose kids all come from a similar geography and put their club team first and foremost. Why didn't express play their A team? Why did Express B offer to play this game knowing that the Duke's team is what it is. (Very good players from multiple regions consisting of a 2023 team with kids that would be 2022 had their parents elected to not start them in school a year later for whatever reasons). I see neither club benefiting from this. Maybe Duke's should go play True which seems to be following their model. Maybe Team 91 should put together a team with their various regional clubs. For Express being able to play a good team in their backyard I guess is a no brainer...not sure what Duke's gets out of it. What was the final score? Sounds like it wasn't competitive?
Now That's Funny!
Express does the same thing some balls calling out Dukes. You had at least one player for sure playing in WSYL and he played in the 2023 LI Laxfest bracket then played in the 2022 bracket, stop crying Express you got beat at your own cheating game. Your program does the same thing bring holdbacks and older kids to try and win a tourney so you can boost up tryout participation and numbers for more teams = more revenue for the owner. Got a taste of your own medicine sucks right.

Nobody on the Express team that played the Dukes yesterday is a holdback. They played a "B" team. That team isn't responsible for what some other team is accused of

"YESTERDAY" being the key word. You cannot say "express doesn't bring ringers in for the sole purpose of ensuring a win" otherwise you are a flat out lier!
That's what a well rounded team looks like... After the beating, you're left standing around looking stupid because you can't even figure out who did it to you. And yes both goalies are fantastic, unfortunately, only 2-3 shots were put on goal. Next time and your best team like the other age groups.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, not one player on the Express team played in WSYL, your an IDIOT!

So you admit you cheated. Thats all we wanted to hear.
Just like LIE 2022 bailed on playing in the 2016 NCAA Futures Championship. It was raining.......
It seems like no one can handle a loss, or win gracefully! None of you were on the fields; the BOYS (young boys) were, go coach your child to play the best they can in ANY situation!
End of story!
All this, can and will be settled at the 2018 WSYL. Show up and let the boys settle it on the field. All the banter, back and forth means nothing until then. Good luck to all, until then, enjoy it, it goes way too fast.

Because the Express 2023A coach probably respects that his kids want a break and a little summer when they can get it, and probably said "No thank you".
This was already settled on the field. The Express Hedstrom will NOT qualify for the WSYL, face the facts, they are a B team. A good B team, but they should never be on the field with the Dukes Nationals.
Let's all stop talking about this, really culprit is MC. He knows who the Dukes are and the type of teams that they have. Shame on him for putting under manned teams on to the field to get killed. I am sure he charged all the kids $25 for the thrill of being sacrificed.
What a nut.
Let the WSYL dictate?
You are high. Holdbacks and Daddy Ball.
Let's go to Denver to see who the best team is?
Save the money, Long Island.
Who was the last A team from Long Island that the Dukes played? What was the outcome?
The owner of Duke's Nationals (gonzo) is a long island native from Sachem. Gonzo and MC put the day together so they could have an additional opportunity to evaluate their players. Both teams had a bunch of top players missing due to family vacations. Fun event and not official. Equivalent to college fall ball.

No LI team made the finals at NXT Cup. 91 Warriors lost in semis to a team DN beat.

Last year played 91 Bandits and Igloo, lost to both by 1 goal.

They have Improved a lot over the year and have beaten a bunch of MD AAs this year. They are a legit AA team, as good as anyone, and getting better.

If you play them bring your best players or you will get buried.
WSYL is the only event where there are rules that have to be adhered too. It's the only way to level the playing field. Age appropriate lacrosse, with no holdbacks. The current rosters of ALL the top teams wouldn't qualify due to holdbacks.

True Blue will give them a run next year, that's for sure.
Looks like RECON lost there top Middie and Defender to another program.

He didn't charge a cent. In fact, he threw in 2 extra tournaments this year at no charge. Tryouts had been scheduled for monday night. It was an exhibition game. I didn't care about the outcome. I just wanted my son to get a good run in and knock the cobwebs off so he went into tryouts without any rust.

All of this nonsense is just BS between parents who never stepped on a field themselves
Dukes lost to the Bandits 6-5 at Dicks TOC in FL. Express Hedstrom should not be on the same field with them. Hedstrom is constructed to competitive in the B division. Not to compete with the top teams.
Interested to see if S2S gets a good turnout at tryouts with the second team forming.

What program did they go to and why did they leave?
Everyone seems to have good thing to say about them, expect they carry to many kids and need some better attackman. I guess if they fix that, they sound like the perfect team.

Exactly the problem with the concept of the Dukes team. Dukes is trying entice the kids from all the AA teams to come on board. There is no incentive for these kids to leave their great LI team to travel, practice once a month and play for a team their club team could probably beat. Dukes says it is an adjunct to the regular local club teams, but most of the Dukes tournaments overlap with the Club team tournaments so that makes no sense. This whole team is a $ grab. Maybe good for kids in remote places that don't have access to competitive club teams, but it makes no sense for the players AA Long Island players they are looking for. Please take the Dukes show back to Phillie.

Then you are not talking about RECON's "top" middie and defender. Maybe you are thinking of others, but definitely not their "top" guys.
That is what their website says.

I play on a AA LI team and play for the Duke's Nationals. In my mind everything is a money grab if you make poor decisions. All I care about is getting my son the best training that will make him better. I care as much about my teams coaches as they care about my son. "If he stops producing they will drop him and move on, quickly!" So far the cost/benefit of the Duke's Nationals makes sense because my son is getting something that my regular club team cannot provide. Yes we win youth games but who truly cares about getting another t-shirt every week. As long as my son gets the training he needs to achieve his college lacrosse goals then I'm in.

LMFAO no they didn't dummy
Who is he
After reading this thread I have come to the conclusion that True Blue is the most annoying team on Long Island. Please stop talking about how good your team is. No one cares. Especially since your team has been inconsequential.

When your pulling players from B teams it only makes a better B team. Not a A or AA team.

So your saying the training is that much better at Dukes than your current LI AA team...you are clearly lying. The 23 Dukes coaches are not bad but they are not bringing anything special to the table. Good try though some people might actually believe this...

There is no incentive for these kids to leave their great LI team to travel, practice once a month and play for a team their club team could probably beat. Dukes says it is an adjunct to the regular local club teams, but most of the Dukes tournaments overlap with the Club team tournaments so that makes no sense. This whole team is a $ grab. Maybe good for kids in remote places that don't have access to competitive club teams, but it makes no sense for the players AA Long Island players they are looking for. Please take the Dukes show back to Phillie.


I play on a AA LI team and play for the Duke's Nationals. In my mind everything is a money grab if you make poor decisions. All I care about is getting my son the best training that will make him better. I care as much about my teams coaches as they care about my son. "If he stops producing they will drop him and move on, quickly!" So far the cost/benefit of the Duke's Nationals makes sense because my son is getting something that my regular club team cannot provide. Yes we win youth games but who truly cares about getting another t-shirt every week. As long as my son gets the training he needs to achieve his college lacrosse goals then I'm in.


"I play on a AA LI team" ? Where are you on the depth chart?

They did 100%


Then you are not talking about RECON's "top" middie and defender. Maybe you are thinking of others, but definitely not their "top" guys.


Nope, top guys

The defender that went to TB was a good player but he was not even on the top defensive line, didn't start. If a middie left I know for sure it was none of there top guys.

What program did they go to and why did they leave?
Everyone seems to have good thing to say about them, expect they carry to many kids and need some better attackman. I guess if they fix that, they sound like the perfect team.



Recon is very deep at defense and middie, there strong points. If they lost someone it was definitely not their top player, top middie and defensemen close ties with the coach,parents and players.

So your saying the training is that much better at Dukes than your current LI AA team...you are clearly lying. The 23 Dukes coaches are not bad but they are not bringing anything special to the table. Good try though some people might actually believe this...


Hey Coach... Sounds like your feelings are hurt. ha!
So was the S2S tryout legit or was it a money grab?

You better go back to school so you can come up with a better argument than that, Mr. "I play for an AA team". You are precisely the over involved parent living vicariously through their kid that Dukes is preying on. Dukes coaches bring nothing to the table. Here on Long Island we may be competitive but we aren't stupid.

Their tryouts were cheaper than the others we paid for. My kid had fun, lots of S2S helmets, but the ones without held their own. A parent said they're having 2 teams, which would be good because of their location and coaches
Anyone at turtles? Stony brook too far, and I emailed them some questions that went unanswered. Curious how the turnout was.

Did they get enough of a turnout to think they'll have enough kids to field 2 teams?

So there was a big enough turnout to field 2 teams? I heard there were less than 40 kids including the S2S kids. Can't field 2 teams out of that!

Dukes are not meant to be a primary team just another source for playing outside of your kids club/town team. Nothing wrong with concept but when run by daddy coaches who don't adhere to their own depth chart they set in place things go south quickly. Lots of turnover as result which has adverse effect on their ability to win

Ain't heard nothing til you stand on a sideline with them! Red cups in hand. The drunken display is down right embarrassing.


I've been to numerous tournaments since these boys have been in 3rd grade. At every single tournament every single sideline parents have red cups. I've never seen any TB parent out of line and in all honesty never seen a parent of another team out of line. 99% of the time all parents are routing for there team. So again its obvious you don't like TB or the parents for whatever reason but stop the nonsense, none of that is true. Good luck to all during tryout season and whatever team you son lands on.

Again lets agree to disagree you don't like the organization maybe you used to play for them maybe not. I have had a good experience with them. I think Cat is a great coach. Does he yell at a ref once in awhile yes nothing wrong with that. I'm pretty positive other coaches yell at refs also. BTW if screaming is intimidating to you I think you should pick up your skirt and man up...

Screaming by a 300 lbs. gorilla is intimidating to a 11/12 year old boy on the opposing team.

It's a good team. In all honesty I don't think they are fielding a 2nd team based on turnout last night. The team was invite only. Now I think they are trying to upgrade a few spots.

2024 calls went out, and 2023 had their last try out the same night. Considering that Cat runs both 2023 teams, I'd surprised that calls didn't go out as they did for 2024.

Too many kids is an understatement.. A few of those kids don't belong on an A team and are taking up space on the roster . It really is about who you know .

Clearly there are bigger issues @ Bluefish. He's not the problem.

The Bluefish obviously tried to get the Massapequa kids to leave other teams (mostly True Blue) by hiring Powers. That did not work.
Bluefish has and will continue to field B to C level teams mostly filled with GC kids who don't make other competitive travel teams. The beyond arrogant head "Fish" should concentrate on trying to make the playoffs with his college team which never happens. Good thing that the very strange, and very rich Insurance Company dude who pays for everything at Hofstra likes him.

What team are you talking about? And why do you say That?
Recon B team is looking for attackman . Recon B team is looking for kids . Last year was actually a 2023/24 team. I know they are trying to have separate 2024 team this year. That means spots are open . Goalie is the coaches kid but plays very well most days . Defense was solid last year. They need a few more middies and maybe a FOGO. Very good core . Coaches are solid. Kids seem to like them and parents were pleased.
You are correct there dude.....kids are over that [lacrosse] . Parents never let it go

Any team that has more than 22 kids is in it for the money at that point, no matter how good the club is or how reliable it is. Whatever the reason is that they say they need more kids, they need to look at that first and fix that, not bandaid the issue and add more kids. How can a parent except there kids to learn, develop and grow if they are only playing 5 min or 10 min of a 40 min game (tournament or not) because there are three or four lines, or better yet, like some of the top team out there, kids that never see the field.
Got my call last night for TB Bengals.
Really good source told me a top Igloo Middie was at Express last night trying out for Attack. What's going on in the Igloo camp.
Express 2023 repeat in Denver 2018!!!!Take it to the bank

Good team. Strong core, looking to add a few key pieces. If you have a strong player but stuck playing for a top program's B team or if you aren't on one of the 'elite' teams (Bandits/Igloo/Express), you should check it out. Good coaching (head coach doesn't have a son on the team), play in top tournaments and compete at a high level. I'm sure someone will find something to rip but everyone's got an agenda on this site.

If you have a strong player but stuck playing for a top program's B team or if you aren't on one of the 'elite' teams (Bandits/Igloo/Express), you should check it out. Good coaching (head coach doesn't have a son on the team), play in top tournaments and compete at a high level. I'm sure someone will find something to rip but everyone's got an agenda on this site.


Then why did they pitch that they were looking to field another team? Why not just say that?

It's called "we take as much tryout money as possible first, then tell you we're fielding a second team later".

Send a note to the coach or director or ask at the tryout. I doubt they were trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes when it came to potentially fielding a second team. Maybe the demand wasn't there or maybe there's something else going on, can't hurt to ask.

For the first team they need some size on the midfield line to compete with the out of state teams who all seem to be fairly large and they need a strong face off player (can be one and the same player). Their primary face off player was hurt for the first few tournaments last summer and they didn't have an adequate backup. They are going to make a push for Denver if that's something you are interested in.

How is there attack are they looking for help at this position.
S2S looking to upgrade at all positions . As far as a second team, there is more demand than what showed up Tuesday night. They will field a second team, only if there is enough interest.

Are they having another tryout?
Yes. Igloo lefty middy trying out for Express left attack position. Not happy with Igloo being excluded from better tournaments.
Outlaws select, what positions are open if any? If my son doesn't make select, is the "B" team worth a shot? Sunday is their tryout...

They are having another tryout today. I was at the first tryout in talking to the coach it seems like they are definitely looking to upgrade the offense

Every 2023 team has older kids that can't go to Denver (not sure why there is not much interest in that tournament). Express not the only one. Igloo. S2S. All of them.

hmmmm he's changing positions because of tournaments??? It's more likely igloo already has a good lefty
Heard express is taking kids from programs off Island for 2023. Is this for Denver or common practice
Feel sorry for those that have been with program, and get bumped
Express taking kids from "off the island"? From where?
Its a paid travel program...they can take kids from China if they want!!!

There was one big kid there from primetime (out of state as you say) that was able to dodge to the cage at will except for on the big kid on D. I don't think most of the D for the A team was there last night so maybe that's why it was so easy for him but not too may kids there without express helmets.

What I did not like is the fact that a lot of A team players did not even show up for the second day or not show up at all. I guess their sports are safe.

Every A player was there except 2 players. Don't know why you need to lie .... You either have no idea who is on the team or looking to stir the pot. Team has improved each year and will continue to do so this year. Best of luck to whatever team your son makes because obviously it wont be this one.
The Prime Time Kid, just ran down the field, through all the defenders, and shot the ball, didn't pass once. Not sure that will work against a quality defense, or with attack men that never get passed the ball.

Seriously you don't have to lie and no one is trying to stir the pot. Express has 3 teams
There were 21 poles there on day 1 and all but 3 had on express helmets. Day 2 they only had maybe 16 poles with two of them without express helmets
They had 3 goalies day 1 and 4 on day 2, each with a express helmet on. With 3 teams that carry 2 goalies each.

So please tell me how you speak for the org and everyone was there. Come on man we all know they will take 98% of the kids on the A team back all they have to do is show up to 1 tryout.

Hopewell Junction. He also played in Denver! But he's a 2023!
Wow you really are psychotic.....you actually sat there and counted players and broke down by position..You should see if MC needs a statistician. Easy does it rain man...Seriously, you need to get of this site and seek professional help...and yes they are probably keeping most of the at team in tact like many irganizations do...why mess with a good thing ...a tweak here and there...btw 2 kids missing...lol

But three were express. Hard to believe. What helmets were the three?
Really !! No way!! Who is trying out for Attack from Igloo?
Too muck story telling on this site
It's the Igloo lefty who played with all the Express kids at Brine. Duh. Why is this a surprise.
outlaws beat both B teams
Why were there no Tornados at tryouts?

Let's see how many practices he makes. He lives 2 hours away. Not sure how that will work either.

You're right. Low turnout. I think most of the team is leaving to express. Saw a lot at Express tonight.

Outlaws is probably better than recon. Empires not close. Maybe recon improves this year and makes it close. Save yourself the travel and go with recon.
Not sure why someone would leave a team after playing there for the last several years. Especially, going into a big year.

What happened to BM?
Recon A
I know parents from this team and they are not happy with the amount of kids and the fact that a few kids should not be in the A team . I was thinking of having my son try out this weekend which is why I asked . I get it coaching comes with perks and if a kid is not that good they will be on the team because his daddy coaches . If I am paying money to travel I want to be on a team where everyone earns playing time it's not PAL . i am sure it's a well run organization but they need to cut back on the roster .
Recon is a joke Bad coaching. Decent team. But coaches don't know anything. Don't believe anything good you here from that team.

Thanks, I will. After talking to a couple of people, they said the Recon coach for that age group does a good job compared to the Outlaws coach.
Anything from S2S tryouts? Second night? More kids? Any new talent?
There were no Express tryouts last night??

Just trying to keep it real.
was anyone at the S2S tryout last night? Curious how the turnout was.
Recon B beat Outlaws this year . Recon B is gonna get better this year . They are the best team of those 3 .
Igloo Middie that was at Express can and has played both positions (Mid/Att). Excellent player that will be a huge loss for Igloo and a great pick up for Express if he goes. Express better add some new players if they want to win in Denver as constructed now there better players wont be able to play.
Channy doesn't care if they show up to practices, as long as the check clears.
Only Igloo player at Express tryouts was a defenseman. Don't worry about Express. Team is in great shape for Denver. Start trolling some other team or come out of your hole and identify yourself

A number of reasons. 3 dad coaches (nothing wrong with that in some cases) aka daddy ball, did not win much, I am sure the kids were excited to go to practice and play games.

I agree. Recon B coach works very well with his team and the players respond well to him. Hands down, I would definitely choose him over Outlaws B.
Heard Outlaws picked up some very good players from other teams. Are there spots still available going into Saturday? My son is on one of the "AA" programs, but I am getting ticked off from the expanded rosters and off-the-island players, thinking of making the switch.

You sure know a lot for someone who is not on the team. It's funny how all of a sudden there is negative stuff said about Recon right before their tryouts.

False, there best Midfielder was at the tryout. He also played on the Brine team with some of the Express kids. Keep telling yourself that Igloo isn't falling apart. I will be honest Igloo does have nice swag, hahahahaha.

Why do people care about Denver? Just a honest question. What is the extra cost per player/family? Airfare. Hotel. Etc. 3k? Bring the family and 5k? I seriously dont get it. Enlighten me please!!

Great Organization, tuition is really reasonable, they are there for the players and families with very little turnover of players that are committed to them and the coaching is great on both teams.  Yes, coaching does have it perks if you have a kid. I don’t think it is a negative thing and playing time if definitely earned, but the only way to avoid that is to go to a team with unattached coaches or coaches that stay with set year. But typically coaches with kids on the team have more vested interest in making that team as a whole better, and keeping the kids together to grow, and not there just for a pay check.

Roster is a little big on both the A and B team (not sure about the other ages).  Hopefully they scale it down a little so the kids can have more playing time and it would resolve that. 

Definitely need a few more practices added through throughout fall and summer but they will compete well this year, even if these so called kids do go to TB that everyone keeps on posting about.

Tryout are probably one of the cheapest around. Come out and see for yourself what is all about.  Ask them question there, or if you get a call.  They are all standup guys and will tell you how it is.

You are totally wrong! Only one Igloo kid at Express and he was definitely a defenseman.

I agree with you 100% I think with the change in the recruiting rules the rush to sign kids out of Denver is over why not take your family on a extended vacation.
Think twice before you leave.

Very good players from what "other teams?" Are the Outlaws "A" looking to revamp their entire roster or just tweak it?
So I suggest you not tryout for Recon and I hope that those people who are not happy go elsewhere, although as far as I know, everyone seemed pretty happy.
No team is perfect and I for one am happy not to have to go to tournaments to watch my kid not play! Not every kid gets equal play time, but every one plays. Also, weather it's "daddy coaches" or favorite players or teams wanting to win at all cost some kids will get preferential treatment.
It took sometime, but Outlaws have rebuild 2023 Select. Do not miss those parents from a few years ago
Still probably looking for a couple kids this weekend to finalize.
My Son has been on team a few years, and we love it.
Over 50 practices last year

Family memory?
If you really were part of Express and really were at Brine, you would realize your mistake....Really infatuated by Igloo midfielder huh? Maybe your son should have tried out for them. Oh wait their tryouts are over....Sorry!!

Don't think any AA players will go to Outlaws until they prove themselves more, it might be a step back.

Sounds like a desperate advertisement from an organization that has now lost at least two more starters this year by choice not because they didn't make the team. If it was so great you would not have to tell everyone about your 50 practices and a few spots still available. Good try though.

How many do they have at each position? How many goalies do they carry?

So Outlaws select has a coach with a son on the team?
Who said anything about writing checks, if you are good and coming from out of state, director will make a deal. Capisce

What starters left?
Seemed that many returning players were not there or wore different helmets
Roster was a bit big last year. That will be corrected . As. Stated before the Recon B team was a mixed team. This years roster shouldn't be more than 23-24 at most ...
9-mid
6-att
6-def
1-fogo
1-2 goalies

And yes the coaches kids play on the team
B goalie is the coaches kid ... almost always played the second half . I think that was by design . Kid had a tough year . Team had small leads or was behind at half a lot . Other B team coach plays D I think as for the A team ... I'm not sure where they play

If I am paying money to travel I want to be on a team where everyone earns playing time it's not PAL . i am sure it's a well run organization but they need to cut back on the roster .



Great Organization, tuition is really reasonable, they are there for the players and families with very little turnover of players that are committed to them and the coaching is great on both teams.  Yes, coaching does have it perks if you have a kid. I don’t think it is a negative thing and playing time if definitely earned, but the only way to avoid that is to go to a team with unattached coaches or coaches that stay with set year. But typically coaches with kids on the team have more vested interest in making that team as a whole better, and keeping the kids together to grow, and not there just for a pay check.

Roster is a little big on both the A and B team (not sure about the other ages).  Hopefully they scale it down a little so the kids can have more playing time and it would resolve that. 

Definitely need a few more practices added through throughout fall and summer but they will compete well this year, even if these so called kids do go to TB that everyone keeps on posting about.

Tryout are probably one of the cheapest around. Come out and see for yourself what is all about.  Ask them question there, or if you get a call.  They are all standup guys and will tell you how it is.



How many do they have at each position? How many goalies do they carry?



Recons starting 10 can hang with anyone, besides the top 5, they need to develop some depth.

My Son has been on team a few years, and we love it.
Over 50 practices last year




Sounds like a desperate advertisement from an organization that has now lost at least two more starters this year by choice not because they didn't make the team. If it was so great you would not have to tell everyone about your 50 practices and a few spots still available. Good try though.

So Outlaws select has a coach with a son on the team?


No. Neither coach has a son on the team.

It's obvious the reply is coming from the organization (Coach), and not a parent. A coach can hold 500 practices, if the majority of the team isn't developing, what sense does it make? Every organization has age group(s) which struggle. Outlaws isn't known for their 2023 group, A or B... Coaching plays an important role just as much a the child's ability. Not a knock on the organization, it is what it is...

Don't think any AA players will go to Outlaws until they prove themselves more, it might be a step back.


Just a ploy to get kids at tryouts this weekend...

Yes! Give express your money and you can show up to practice when you want. Most clubs wouldn't [lacrosse] their teams out like that. It's the Express way.

1-fogo
1-2 goalies

And yes the coaches kids play on the team
B goalie is the coaches kid ... almost always played the second half . I think that was by design . Kid had a tough year . Team had small leads or was behind at half a lot . Other B team coach plays D I think as for the A team ... I'm not sure where they play


Why so many middies, or are LSM included in those numbers?

What teams did the B team play?
Where did BM go?
Hello Mr. Anonymous.......Call me and I'll be happy to speak with you about anything to do with Recon Lacrosse. Harry Jacobs 516-315-3002.......I'll wait for your call!

What other director would put their name and # on this board and ask for a phone call, way to go Mr. Jacobs, your a class guy and so is your organization. From everything you do with Shootout for Soldiers, the community service you arrange for the players, and the way Recon lacrosse is run. Thanks for all you do and happy to be part of Recon lacrosse.
BM is still at Leg a cee. Tornados will pick up some players this year.
Is BM going to Recon?
Harry, I don't know you but that is awesome. But we know the loser won't call. He's hiding behind his computer as usual. Pathetic

That is a good question. I wonder if he is still there

None

That's because they tried out for other team's and couldn't make it. Still a mediocre team that plays in bad tournaments against B teams.
They ABSOLUTELY did lose starters

Wow, that's rough calling 12 year old kids mediocre! I would hate to have you as a father...
Not a good track record. Lost a bunch of kids last season and now a few more for 2018. Where did they all go?? A or B clubs, and were they impact players?? I know outlaws has some studs, and believe a few played for Brine and Warrior teams.

Maybe the owner should take a hard look as to the reason why the lost bunch of kids didn't have a good track record.

That's OK, both 2023 coaches are class acts for the Outlaws. Kids really look up to them...
Have your kid play Outlaw if you enjoy red cups at game and your kids have an edge. It's the Outlaw way.
All good for outlaws , couple mids left but replaced by better players
It was actually 2 packs. First pack of 5 went to Express, and the 2nd pack of 5 went to I***o in 2017. In 2018 2 more went to I***o, and others to go elsewhere. All from thier Select team. Great job Outlaws, your a second rate organization and this proves it.

I heard the middy with no stick skills will be missed.
Please Oultlaws stop. Nobody cares who left why they left who you replaced them with. What parents your glad left which ones you are glad stayed. It was the same drama last year on this forum. Yes we know you are all recovered. Top dog in the age bracket. GREEEEEEEAAAAATTT!!!!! Can the people on this forum please move on from you? Thankyou
Is that normal with that many kids jumping ship??

Coaches should take multiple kids leaving as a sign and try and figure out why. They don't because 90% of the time there is someone waiting to pay. Many of these clubs don't care about the kids they care anout their bottom line. This is why they put 30 kids on a roster (still baffles me why people pay for this). I wonder if coaches reach out when players leave to find out why. Sometime kids leave because they think the grass is greener or they want to be on a "name brand team. I would bet sometimes they leave because they don't like the way they are coaches or the dynamic if the team. If I owned an organization it would benefit me to have loyalty from my team. If I couldn't achieve that I would want to know why. Some of these organizations are just too self absorbed.
I'm given Recon tryouts a shot tonight.

Same story a year ago "All good for outlaws , couple mids left but replaced by better players." It will be the same story this time next year.

Some parents are just happy that their little johnny is playing travel and that's okay. Which means the Outlaws will always have players to field their two teams. Again, there is nothing wrong with that.

100% accurate. Most oof these LI club owners could run a successful business outside of club.

Many good points. Also, your kid must have the drive and desire to put the work in in order to get better. That said, this time of every year parents have leverage over the organization and coach. One very important point; what does the team do in the off-season. I know many organizations offer clinics at an additional price, but as a team is the coach conducting practices, readying the team for the upcoming spring?
Last week, I traveled out east for the turtles tryout; very impressed with leadership, organization of the tryout with many reps and level of competition wasn't bad at all. fl$ is holding their tryouts this week. Another class organization. So if you're looking, well worth considering. Unfortunately we read the same old complaints from the outlaws organization in this age group year after year. Nothing changes if nothing changes...

That's not good. I know their top tier team didn't do very well this year, many think they are a "B" team playing in the "A" bracket. Don't know about the second team. Sure it's easy to blame it on the talent level, but coaching style plays a huge part in youth sports. Some of those coaches should not be anywhere around kids... Parents do your research before joining an any organization especially one like the outlaws.

Everyone knew last year was a rebuilding year, it was not a secret. Attackmen all coming back and added speed. Middies got faster and more skilled with additions, Will roll strong two lines. All middies have good shots. Will put out three big defensemen and will be harder to play against. Excellent goalie. This year will be much different.

Sounds like your team is set. But the flyer still reads positions available on all teams, with two more rounds left?

Always spots available for players that will upgrade a team. No ones position is safe until all tryouts are complete.

Outlaws said the same thing last year and look- same result- nothing changed. B team at best
Son is gonna tryout for empire. Heard good team but don't play in A tournaments. Just what my son needs since he just started playing last yr. Is this accurate?

fl$ may be class act (I don't know from experience) but their 4k price tags is ridiculous. I would put Express, Igloo and the others that charge more than 3k in the same bucket.

I wonder if coaches reach out when players leave to find out why. Sometime kids leave because they think the grass is greener or they want to be on a "name brand team. I would bet sometimes they leave because they don't like the way they are coaches or the dynamic if the team. If I owned an organization it would benefit me to have loyalty from my team. If I couldn't achieve that I would want to know why. Some of these organizations are just too self absorbed.


Many good points. Also, your kid must have the drive and desire to put the work in in order to get better. That said, this time of every year parents have leverage over the organization and coach. One very important point; what does the team do in the off-season. I know many organizations offer clinics at an additional price, but as a team is the coach conducting practices, readying the team for the upcoming spring?
Last week, I traveled out east for the turtles tryout; very impressed with leadership, organization of the tryout with many reps and level of competition wasn't bad at all. fl$ is holding their tryouts this week. Another class organization. So if you're looking, well worth considering. Unfortunately we read the same old complaints from the outlaws organization in this age group year after year. Nothing changes if nothing changes...



fl$ may be class act (I don't know from experience) but their 4k price tags is ridiculous. I would put Express, Igloo and the others that charge more than 3k in the same bucket.



Very true. How much are the turtles charging. And what do you get. Didn't go. It was too Far East for us

More like have your kid play lacrosse if you enjoy red cups at games. Every team has a group of fathers that deem it appropriate to drink at tournaments. Please.
Empire played in 2 A tourneys, 1 AA tourney and played up in a 7th gra de bracket. They're an A team without the drama.

Is your grammar always this bad or only after too many sips from your red cup?

Where do they practice and what towns are the kids from
Empire practices either at Miller Place high school or Comsuwogue high school. Kids are from all over.
Practice either at comsewogue hs or miller place hs coach is assistant varsity coach for comsewogue. Most of kids are from northeast of the island a few from a lil west . Good team good coaching bringing on another varsity coach as assistant both no kids on team
Has anyone ever moved on from Outlaws 2023 A/B teams without any attached drama? Reminds me of the NY Knicks...
A team without the drama. Now that's funny. Parents fight with other teams parents every tournament. And you played A tournaments? Wow, you have been brainwash. Get a clue dude.
Decent turn out at Recon. Lots of non Recon helmets. Well run tryout.
Good luck to all the boys there.
Wow, an assistant varsity coach and now bringing on another assistant varsity coach. Is this a joke or you afraid other kids will take little johnnies spot on the team .I don't think anyone is impressed you have an asst varsity coach as your head coach. Thanks for the laugh though.
Two kids that left for igloo are very good players.
Is there another tryout for the 2023 turtle team?

We may have missed out on an opportunity to pick up good talent at that position (which bith teams can use) because the coaches kid got so much time in the net.

No sense racking your brains over it. If you say something, look for another team and kiss your deposit goodby. I find it to be a good practice, staying to your self, but when mingling say a lot of "nothing."

Looked like yesterdays Outlaws tryout had enough talent to field both of their 2023's. Especially looks good for their second team which will make some noise this season.

Sounds like you know this from experience. Fors ypur kid play on this team? This is what is wrong with so many organizations. I realize daddy coaches are part of the deal but if I owned one of these organizations I would want the best talent at every position I could get. That may mean a daddy coach has to be real and their kid may need to take a back seat. Harry Jacobs is a stand up guy and his organization does a lot of good. I wouldn't think egos and behavior like that wouldn't be tolerated. If an organization isn't willing to do what's best for the team beyond the daddy coaches kids then maybe it is time to take one of those other offers.
Any word if S2S had enough to field a 2nd team?
Someone is angry. Calling out the 2 outlaw kids that left for igloo. Mentioning 2nd team and first team 3rd line . I would have to say they are two very good middies . Outlaw parent, you have to start wondering why so much turnover. Quality kids just not happy....uummm. What could it be!! Don't blame the kids please.

Where did you get this piece of nugget from? He was not the head coach last season so unless the current long time coaches leave it will be the same 3 guys, all dads.
Like to hear from parents of players that did the Brine tournament in VA last month. What did you think? Were the players top shelf? Good experience? Think there is any benefit for a 12 year old to do this? Thinking of this for my son for next year. He's a 2024.

Agree! Many parents just don't see it. The funny part about it, the coach thinks he's doing a great job... Outlaws raised their price, two hundred extra from last year, only one extra tournament. Leave while you still can.

So you were on one of the teams last year; you mentioned "we" missed an opportunity.
Did these coaches play college ball? Are they HS coaches? Trying to get a feel as to whether or not it is worth the price. Seems like they are good at the other age groups but this group does not seem to be as strong.
Is Express having 3 teams this year?

Recon tryouts are over. Unless you are saying they make exceptions.....huh coach?
Having a pedigree of having played and come from a "big name" program doesn't make one a good coach. Look around! Many programs have this and coaching is sub-par. Yes the coach is a varsity assistant and yes he played in college. Most importantly, Yes; the kids learn and enjoy playing for him........

Which Express team?
True Blue was 1600 last year with a college coach on a AA team. I could not imagine paying north of 3k each kid for summer lacrosse. They substantially improve every year also.

You're correct. Express is $3,800 for tuition alone this year + Box and I am sure there will be extras and that does not include travel expenses. I guess if you want to beat the bandits you need to have to bandit tax also.
Expresses 2nd team is very good, borderline A team last year. Won every B bracket entered last year (4), by a lot. Several upgrades this year, 3 new assistant coaches, no daddy coaches. Looking to qualify for Denver.

Base price is under 3k. But there are optional extras, which I think is probably common.

Can someone please explain to me the fascination with Denver? I get that it's a great experience for the kids but really people what is rush to go there and see your friends that play on other li teams in the semies or finals?

I am guessing those kids aren't waiting for a supplemental tryout. Recon invites are supposed to go out Wed. So unless they didn't get enough talent at the tryout or they get turned down invites they won't be holding a supplemental tryput.

They can say their kid was on the team. Even if they don't play.

You're correct. Express is $3,800 for tuition alone this year + Box and I am sure there will be extras and that does not include travel expenses. I guess if you want to beat the bandits you need to have to bandit tax also.


Base price is under 3k. But there are optional extras, which I think is probably common.



Express base is $3,800 + Box + Denver =$5,400 before travel and all the other stuff.

Not the email I got. It's under 3k base. However, there extra charges for optional things. And yes, Denver isn't cheap.
You must be special than....$3800 base
WSYL is a once in a lifetime experience, for 13 yr olds. There are rules that have to be adhered too, so the playing field is equal. But most of all, it's the comradery, and memoirs that will last forever.
is there consistent quality of teams at WSYL?
i heard they barley had enough to field 1 decent team at 2023...daddy ball at its finest.
They need to replace their #1 middie / face off kid, that went to another club. Unless they picked up a similar player, they will feel the loss. Head coach is the same, and does a great job with the players he has to work with.

It is billed as the national championship, but it hardly qualifies as truly being such due to WSYL being age-based, while the rest of the lacrosse world is (unfortunately) grade-based. Many better teams, particularly from the mid-Atlantic, do not wish to field teams specifically for this tournament, so they don't participate in the qualifiers.

Can someone please explain to me the fascination with Denver? I get that it's a great experience for the kids but really people what is rush to go there and see your friends that play on other li teams in the semies or finals?


Our team went to Denver and we went 2-3 and every parent and kid said they loved it. Without a doubt best lacrosse experience to date. The organizers of this event really immersed the kids in a great week that was jam packed with activities, fanfare, and fun. Not all games are competitive but that could be said about any tournament especially in pool play. It is extremely expensive, but honestly most of us are blessed with lifestyles that can afford the cost.

We also went to the Brine Tournament in July in Virginia and by contrast there was a lot of standing around, "huge" gaps in time between games that were underutilized, and just wasn't the same atmosphere and camaraderie.

When it comes to Denver it really came across more as a celebration of lacrosse, family, and country. I know it sounds cheesy but for those that have attended...they will understand where I am coming from. When it comes to being outside and beautiful, Colorado is fantastic. If you are more of a couch potato and into more sedentary pursuits the lure of the state won't be as compelling.
Like you stated won B and ran when put in an A bracket at Tri Star .... Good one

I call BUL*SH**

I know , I know you need to see your 14 yr old dominate a bunch of 12 yr olds. So it being age based steals all the fun from you

You obviously can't read - my inclusion of the word "unfortunately" should have clued you in on where I stand, and flies in the face of your conclusion . . . try harder next time!

These mid-atlantic programs (and we all know who they are) can easily field a team to qualify for, and attend, the WSYL. They simply choose not to - for two reasons in my opinion: 1) they are concerned about being exposed without the edge in age that they are used to; 2) they are all in with regard to grade based, and do not want to do anything to move the lacrosse world closer to age based.

In my opinion it is the only gauge of a true champion ... just because most tournaments are grade based that does not make them a better gauge of who is the best, in fact quite the opposite. Not really that hard to win in a grade based tournament, just depends on how low you're willing to stoop with the holdbacks. I've seen many an outstanding lacrosse team with amazing players and plays get pushed around by kids obviously older and of course "win". Anyone could coach a team of older players and "win" a tournament. The WSYL and any other age based tournaments are the ONLY tournaments that qualify as any sort of championship etc.

They said they send them out after first tryout. You can keep coming back to try and be put on higher team or lower team.

Hope the coach will work with my son, it's his first year playing. Have a lot of the kids been with the team a while?

Good choice. That club is perfect for beginners. Both teams are equal.
Thanks, good to hear that both teams are relativity equal. Just hope, since the coach played lacrosse at UNC he will help my son better grasp the game. Thanks again!
Another poor turnout at Leg a C. I must not be at the super secret real tryout

Yes, remember Tri Star, hid in the A bracket from STS, PT and Lax Black - got run over by Express A and Express North, good one.

Express. They will win by some ridiculous amount and still not put in any of their 2nd, 3rd or 3th string players. So most if the kids won't even touch the field. Parents will brag their kid was on the team even if they never touch the field.
Any word in the S2S 2nd team?

That's generally not the way the 2023 Express team rolls. There is depth and parity and all kids play.
My son accepted a spot on the 2nd team.

1st time I've heard this about complaint about Express Haugen. Sounds like an angry parent. Agree with statement about depth and parity and playing time. Playing time is more equitable on this team than most. BTW there isn't a third line that I am aware of
2nd Team at S2S, no way not enough quality players.can pretty much only field one mid-level team at best. unless your from manhasset or rvc your out of luck.

I don't think they had a 2nd team so that guy is just talking nonsense. I see this comment all the time but how different is it from teams like express A and Bandits that attract 150 kids at tryout when you know they already spoke to the people they want on the team and everyone else is just there for the 2nd and 3rd team.

S2S didn't have anywhere near those numbers at tryouts. So 2nd team unlikely.

Were you at the tryouts? If not you have zero to add. Would you say other 2nd teams have no talent? S2S did good things with their first team so I would think there is a draw there. I was asking for people that were at tryouts. Not sure what being from Manhasset or RVC has to do with it. I know the guy that started it is from Manhasset but what does that have to do with RVC?
How competitive is FL$ at this age group, would they be an A or B team, and why do you never see them at local tournaments, any info would be appreciated.
just spoke with my son who plays for express. and said it's true for big games - they play first line defense, attack and two lines midfield. and he said thats what all teams do. when you want to win the game, thats what you're meant to do. all kids know that.

You had to ask your son for this info?? You've never watched him and his Express team play??!

Your forgetting 91 has a very good team at this level. If they have enough players on their Bandits team that qualify age wise, they will be a tough team to beat. Not a fan of the organization, but the team is good.
Agree that the Bandits are the top grade based team @ 2023, but a couple of their top players will not be able to play in Denver unless JS gets the rules changed....

One mid level team at best? Maybe they're not top 3, but still good. Stop letting your bitterness cloud your view. I'm sure your son is happy on his team. And what, they wouldn't take kids from outside of those 2 towns if it improved them?

It means not enough kids accepted the invitation. So to feild a team they need more. Usually looking for back end players that will pay but not see the field when this happens.
Go to last tryouts or call organization

If their attempts to do it with 2021 year are any indication, I wouldn't hold my breath. That team mostly ended up being the players that didn't make the A team, and a lot of them were from Nassau . . . it was a very weak A team, if not just a flat out B team .

No outlaw select players are going. If you get outlaw B players, you're still a b team.

yes they are a great team of 15 and 16 year olds, bummer they cant play in the 2023 @Denver they would win it all
Probably the same ones that were competitive last year and qualified. If they take 4 teams from North East, will likely be 2-3 from LI and 1-2 from CT/Westchester.

Played them this summer... I'm sure they have some summer birthdays but 15/16 I think not. Their ball movement and stick skills were so impressive, very motivating for my son to see that level of lacrosse.

Maybe you should leave your current coaching position and apply at F$G, according to you they are "only" c level team...

They are a low B team or a good C team in this age group


They sure will. I know some Express, Outlaws, and Legacy kids coming over.


All that tuition money and there only a B/C level team, I hear they get good turnouts at tryouts


Maybe you should leave your current coaching position and apply at F$G, according to you they are "only" c level team...


I am the original poster just want to know if the Nassau 2023 team is a competitive team?
F$G does a lot of very well run clinics during the year, I've also never really seen them at many tournaments but I would think they have a very good team.

The only spots to replace are the coaches kids and that's not happening. No upgrades.

Are you assuming that kids are being offered scholarships (wink wink) to leave Express B or is it the other way around?

So those teams develop the kid and then the "A" teams grab them. Ok, then I guess Outlaw and Recon are doing the right thing for their players and developing talent.
I thought recon has an A and a B team. Is it really a B and a C yeam?

Looks like True Blue kept every single player from last year and added kids from 91, Express, Recon and Outlaws. If your sick of daddy ball go play for Coach Cat. TB on the rise at all ages.
Express B fogo should have been on A, but the A fogo has a dad that coaches the A team.

Igloo, recon, outlaw, express all showed up. All the good ones made teams. All the good ones stayed. Bunch of igloo, Recon best midfielder, express B best mid/fogo. I don't know if outlaws made any or stayed.

TB's Massapequa proportions are down - on some of their teams, they aren't even the largest number of boys from one area . . .
Don't know the reason why the Outlaws feel it necessary to have 3 rounds of tryouts which span nearly a month.

They place you on a team after the first and you can go back to the others to see if you can move up to a better team. Also I am sure they are trying to see if anyone else shows up because they did not like the results of their tryout

I highly doubt JC or Cr are posting here on BOTC and Cr isn't even from Massapequa, nor are those two the only Directors/owners of TB.
Who are you talking about?
It lets Families vacation, and probably most is gives kids options. We all know those that go to 4 tryouts a summer
Numbers seemed to be way down at the 91 tryouts from last year. Maybe a sign that there are too many teams.

My son played on Express B last year, and will again this year. The player that your referring to was the primary face off kid, but not a fogo. He was a middie that took face-offs. He tried out again this year for Express A, but was not offered a spot, and has taken a spot on another team.
F&G will remain with only one team. Did not establish a Suffolk team. A little disappointed but they remain a well well run organization with quality coaching... Compared to the coach my son last season, I can't complain.

Agree, they also run very good clinics, but like some asked earlier what tournaments are they at and how good is this team?

Good talent, most importantly coaches with "legit" solid backgrounds, proven track records within the sport.

Kids team played them on a few occasions and went to a clinic in the past yr, seems like a well run program but not competitive enough on an A team level, at least not as of this summer
Any thoughts on the Fighting Ducks (be nice!)? Thinking of having my son try out for them...supposed to be a good B team but get killed against the good A teams...

Many travel coaches are "legit", but there are a small number that advertise/claim they played lacrosse for certain universities and in all actuality they never did. Having played college lacrosse for a top program doesn't mean someone will make a good coach, but don't lie in order to bring more $$$ into the organization. It's not difficult to determine the truth.

Do your homework; coaches experience, any daddy ball on the team, coaches communication skills, and does the coach act like a lunatic during practice/tournaments in the sidelines... Just my opinion, if I'm paying upwards to 3K for someone to coach/interact with my kid I want to find out a few things about the coach and organization.
Far from truth . Spots are available

Legacy does suck. There were 30 kids at tryouts. Don't know how they are going to field anything worth while.
thanks...Coach is the Assistant varsity coach at Bay Shore and no kids on the team...only heard good things about him and his experience at college and MLL...

Are you talking about Legacy coach?
Has everyone's son received his invite(s) for the organizations they want to be apart of? If not, what is your second choice?
I heard Shore 2 Shore moving forward with a second team. I was told they have 15 kids commited so far and are expecting more kids at supplemtental tryout on Monday.

Their are so many quality teams out there. I can't imagine S2S having a competitive 2nd team. Their top team lost a lot of speed last year. But, who knows. We'll need to wait until we see some games.


How many teams will be playing box lax this winter? How many tournaments?

Talent is most likely coming from kids that didn't make their first choice. At this point the top clubs sent their invites out, so it's down to the clubs that provide late multiple team options. It's all about the $$$$

Only a few teams. Tryouts came already. November will be the first tournaments in Philly.

They brought a few Outlaw coaches over. They must be serious about getting going. Not sure how they go from one team to many teams in one year. That's a big leap. Wonder why all of a sudden?
3 years 3 Programs for one outlaw coach- Other one would not have been brought back. Good luck with them
One of the coaches who switched over, on paper was listed as a Board Member - Director of Middle School Player Development last year for the Outlaws. Tell you the truth I don't know what he did for the organization if anything.
Are there any Box specific teams on LI or is it just part of some yearly programs?

Bad judgement on the Outlaws to criticize a varsity HS coach. Seems like all their Board are HS coaches. Aren't they supposed to be high quality? Why would someone with an excellent reputation leave? Are all the other HS board members leaving? Seems like Trump's council is falling apart.
Ducks are good B+ team but get beat easily by the a teams. Coach is good, but unless you are top 4 attack top 4 def or line 1-2 middie, be prepared for very little playing time.

Coach, whats your definition of high quality, and yes H.S. coaches are supposed to be of high quality. Further more, someones reputation is subjective not objective. So, If they don't live up to their so call excellent reputation they are not retained. Finally, your political views have nothing to do and should not be mixed with youth lacrosse.

Here is the funny thing about HS coach coaching a 12 y/o club team. Their 1st commitment is to HS. So when spring comes, where is your coach going to be? I guarantee not on the sidelines of his club team.

The director of player development who left Outlaws for S2S did nothing in that role. Never was at one of our practices. We saw him at tryouts and than never again. He didn't do anything that he was suppose too.

Wow. I don't know what to say. In all my years of coaching this organization doesn't hold itself out to be credible at any level.

I second that notion. Was at tryouts last August, but never shared any of his high quality or excellent reputation at any team practices.

Wait, give credit where credit is due. He ran the winter clinic, which wasn't included in the tuition, held in Deer Park. A complete waste of time and $$$.

It's on the same day the Outlaws are holding their 3 round of tryouts. Being he's an Ex. Outlaw Director he most likely trying to scoop up some remaining Outlaw on-lookers...
Coach, seems as if you have an underlying message. Noticed you linked the Outlaws organization with Trump. Blame somebody else, it's the flavor of these times...

Yes. They'll be better than the other B+ clubs this year.


Kids team played them on a few occasions and went to a clinic in the past yr, seems like a well run program but not competitive enough on an A team level, at least not as of this summer


The reason why a stand alone Suffolk team wasn't established. Don't know the level of talent last years team had, but if the above is true, won't be any major gains if any.

The director of player development who left Outlaws for S2S did nothing in that role. Never was at one of our practices. We saw him at tryouts and than never again. He didn't do anything that he was suppose too.


I second that notion. Was at tryouts last August, but never shared any of his high quality or excellent reputation at any team practices.

Sounds like all of the HS coaches Outlaws scooped up. They need better ownership.

its late in the game to only have15 committed players. Curious if they will actually be able to fill a roster.





I would think if the team was going to be terrible they would have just scraped it. They have a team that is competitive at that level. Adding another that is crap doesn't help them if they are trying to build the brand.
When is 90+1 going to post results from their tryouts?

I had the same questions and I reached out to them. They said they were looking for players for 1 team. I don't know what people keep talking about second team. You should email them
Supplemental tryout is for both teams.

The team is going to be highly competitive. Same model as the top 2-3 clubs.

You sound confident they were abble to get the right talent and enough to fill a roster.

This is BOC someone does not want you trying out so you can take playing time away from their little superstar. Why don't you contact the coaches and ask them the question.

How competitive is S2S, I know there not a top club and they slipped a little this year from last but where do they rank after the top clubs?

I get it but if you can't ask questions in this forum and get any legit answers/information than what is its purpose? If it us just a place where men that have nothing better to do than live vicariously through their kids they should just shut it down. If I was one of these club owners I would have a registered name and be answering some questions especially if wrong info is being given out.
Keep things in prospective, and never forget it's all about $$$.

History speaks for itself. All clubs offer spots on A team immediately after first tryouts - in many cases before. Supplementals are to see if the club can put together another team. And at $$$ per player -- the club makes out either way.

I could see your point there, but then what are your thoughts on the 4th and 5th of that top 5?? Bandits, Igloo and Haugen have top 3, is 4 and 5 up for grabs depending on how the rosters fall based on tryouts?

No A players pulled ever my friend. Took Empire green behind the wood shed in Devens and then put a total team effort in against Express North to end the season with the big W. Don't hate because your A team got beat buy a bunch of kids that were told they were athe B team. They never believe that and it showed. You would be better off on Express B than most of your so called A teams. The only reason they are considered a teams is because they are that organizations first team. Hahaha
Express B has NEVER, I repeat NEVER pulled from A.

Hilarious!
Express B lost twice to True Blue last year not even close games, stop Express B people. At least the Warriors parents are claiming to be in the top 5 anymore. 4 and 5 would be True Blue and Empire Green. I think Express A will end up 1 then Bandits then the next three are a toss up. Good luck in the Fall and Winter see everyone in the Spring.

What's wrong with a few tryouts. Gives a chance for kids that didn't play well in a tryout to come back and have another chance. You don't always have to find something negative.

This is awesome! Neither of those teams play in ANY quality tournaments! Actually, at least True Blue played NXT. They got beat by a bunch of scrubs, but at least they played. Empire played in LAXFEST, which is a shell of what it once was. Get out and play some elite talent. Everyone on here is tired of both of you!

Nothing is wrong with a few tryouts. Since you draw large number of talent, why can't the tryouts be cut down to a week (2 tryouts) to fill rosters ?

Great. Now you and your son can have more opportunities to get the same answer. Good luck Northstar!
Its a Good system, gives kids options. Some people are just miserable in life, and have no other outlet.

Empire green lost to the warriors and will never come close to beating express. TB also only lost because they were the only team to play back to back games. First express and then Empire green right after. On one of the hottest days. Please

I can't wait for every half decent team on LI to bury True Blue this year. True Blue is the worst team on Long Island for many reasons mostly the smack talking, red cup holding parents that think they are the s#$t

From the outside looking in it appears that way but the parents and kids on the team are happy and there is a CORE group of kids that remained with the team this year. You don't need to bring up that so many kids left the last couple years as that has been discussed to no end. The team lost a couple of really good players this year for personal reasons and no fault of the program. The reason there are still spots open is because the program is not just taking the best 25 kids at the tryout. If the talent doesn't meet a minimum threshold then the coach will not take the player. This gives the program room to add players, without having too many on the roster, if or when a kid or parent have buyers remorse and are unhappy with their current team. Continuous emails clogging your inbox is a small price to pay. You can dislike the Outlaws all you want but the team has really gelled in the past year and will continue to improve. They hope to be competitive with other teams but the main goal is for the kids to get better and have a positive experience.

here we go with TB excuses. It never ends. So let's get this straight - when you have a DECENT ( I use that term loosely) season and win a few games, that puts you in top 5? But when you lose, it's because it was hot and you played back to back games? Do you ever see a top 5 team on this board with excuses like that? no you don't. and you won't.
and I don't even think Empire Green and the Warriors ever played each other this summer so not sure where that bit of info came into this conversation.
If either of those teams keep the core kids/starters together for next season, they will beat TB again, and again

Okay, thank you for explaining why the tryouts last over a long period of time.

They paid half their new players to join TB this year from other teams, so they may have a good roster, but If i had to buy a team, I would except them to be #1 too.
S2S really lost ground this year. They did not make the finals in any meaningful tourneys. Coach have dropped to lower quality tourneys. The first year they were a big surprise, but they can't attract any new A level talent.
Joe are the 2023 LI Sharks ?
How are the LI Sharks? My son is a decent player and heard they are a Up and coming club?

They are better b/c they raided top players that other teams developed with the promise of scholarships
My son made the Outlaws 2023 B team. Have not met the coach/es . What is his coaching style, demeanor, etc? .First year playing travel.

This could be the dumbest thing I've seen on BOTC and that's saying a lot.

TB charges $1750 they make so much money that they are scholar shipping all new players just to be good, you are a moron. How about they are a good team, well coached and some parents out there realize that and think there son could become a better player being coached by a College coach.

What teams did they draw players from? Did they poach from Bandits/Express A/Igloo A? Did they get any players from the top two lines of those teams? Give us some details if you're going to imply such vast improvement. Team struggled at NXT from what I saw.

Wonder why they never went to play on TH when they had to pay to be on the team??? Shocking, not really. Dangling free tuition in front of people, then boosting how kids came to you b.c they got tired of the teams that helped develops them. But at least you admitted that TB is screwing over the other families. It's one thing to say the tuition is for pract space and extras, but i guess TB banks cash to recruit kids to play over the ones that paid. Wait to next year when those scholarshipped aren't anymore and see what happens.

Every club has their scholarship kids. They are the all star kids the Club doesn't want to lose. And the parents who are smart enough to use that to their advantage. Why not save $3-$4k a year if you can?
And with recruiting rules changed, they can save a lot of money and pay when it's going to count. Everyone does it. Sounds like your issue is that smaller Clubs can now afford to do it-- so free tuition is not so exclusive anymore.

The fact that you guys think TB needs to recruit kids is insane. Everyone comes for coach cat. He does not need to give away free tuition. You all are jealous. Grow up.

If you think they are banking enough cash with their tuition to the extent that they can offer up a whole slew of scholarships for one grade, let alone others, then maybe you should go back and learn some math!

As compared to what - a HS coach or a perennial club team coach? Wow - a college associate head coach (NOT and assistant coach) of a top D2 college program is just so low on the list of coaching accomplishments!

So , you are saying that there are no daddy coaches ( including asst's) coaching TB. Remember you are under oath.
The obsession with TB is out of control. I'm not a TB parent; however, I have seen them play in several tournaments. Sometimes they look very good, sometimes they look mediocre. They have beaten good teams a few times, and they have lost to bad teams a few times. That's what you get with kids this age. Did they get some new players? I'm sure they did. Did they offer scholarships to them all? I'm sure they didn't. Maybe they offered one to a very good player, but who knows. Most players who move from team to team at this age are doing so because they were not getting playing time at their former club. That's not to say they can't be difference makers though. They certainly can on the right team. Talk to me about which team is best in 2-3 years when many more kids have hit/gone through puberty. Until then, enjoy the experience with your kid and stop caring about too 2,3,4 or 5 teams.

Most all of the teams below the 7th grade are all coached by JC - are there fathers that coach TB teams above that grade? Absolutely, but that isn't relevant to this age group. And even then, considering some of the lax pedigrees of said fathers, they seem to be fully qualified and accomplished coaches. And, as though there is no fathers coaching the 'top' programs . . . !

You really want to break down what it actually costs? Because it's no where near the tuition clubs charge. Profit margins on travel lacrosse are double digits. Most clubs are using school fields for free in spring and summer and run their Club out of their own home so minimal overhead (very few exceptions). The majority of tuition money goes to Directors and Coaches. So if a Director forgoes a few dollars for better talent the theory would be it will pay dividends in the long run. Maybe you should go back and learn some basic fundamentals of business!

Except when you have as many as 30+ kids (parents) that failed to pay their fees last season . . . and when you're only charging half of what other clubs are, I don't see how TB and similar clubs are making the profits you think they are.

It's true. It was holdback grass. It was much older and taller than the other grass. It just wasn't fair. When is US lacrosse going to do something

100% does dbag and all 3 of there kids are on the team
Can we move on from TB and move on from bashing all the teams, every week it's someone new. Can there be any informative info. put on here. It really is a shame the stupidity that goes on here. I hope most of you realize half the people that post about a particular team are not even on that team, they are just looking to stir the pot. They are looking to get a rise out of all you parents that respond to this nonsense, grow up. I really doubt half the posts about TB being the greatest and all the excuses for losing games were from a TB parent. That goes for the same for any other program just TB happens to be the flavor of the week. Some people love TB some people hate them, some people love Express some people hate them etc... Let's use this sight for what it was designed for, good luck to all in the upcoming season.
Wow! Cyber bullying at it's finest. People are saying TB makes excuses, yet all the talk about free tuition for better players to join. That's an excuse in and of itself. If you lose it's because TB gave free tuition to quality players that other organizations developed. As a father of a newly recruited TB player, I cannot say the previous teams developed him at all. The position he plays had zero training from his previous 3k/year team in regards to development. Don't fool yourselves. Natural talent trumps all the BS your over priced club will tell you. All the money on the world cannot transform your B rated son into an All American.

Explain exactly how JC is a hack - explaining would require specific details. And i'd rather my son played for a coach that yelled at the refs than a coach that verbally rips the heads off of his players - saw way too much of the latter last season from some of the 'top' program coaches.

lol natural talent. You do not know lacrosse at all. Athletes who train hard and put in the time are the ones who are successful. Practice and on your own time is where you get better. Not during games.

All the money on the world cannot transform your B rated son into an All American.

Typical TB lie, "father of a newly recruited TB player". This post was from an assistant coach, whether it was JC or a daddy coach.

We shall see Which team are you speaking from?
TB charges $1750 they make so much money that they are scholar shipping all new players just to be good, you are a moron. How about they are a good team, well coached and some parents out there realize that and think there son could become a better player being coached by a College coach.
[/quote]

How about the coaching staff and the success they have brought in different players. Top players who were sitting behind daddy coaches sons got fed up with it. You all are morons thinking they give out scholarships. Your just jealous they left your teams[/quote]

Wonder why they never went to play on TH when they had to pay to be on the team??? Shocking, not really. Dangling free tuition in front of people, then boosting how kids came to you b.c they got tired of the teams that helped develops them. But at least you admitted that TB is screwing over the other families. It's one thing to say the tuition is for pract space and extras, but i guess TB banks cash to recruit kids to play over the ones that paid. Wait to next year when those scholarshipped aren't anymore and see what happens.[/quote]

If you think they are banking enough cash with their tuition to the extent that they can offer up a whole slew of scholarships for one grade, let alone others, then maybe you should go back and learn some math![/quote]


You really want to break down what it actually costs? Because it's no where near the tuition clubs charge. Profit margins on travel lacrosse are double digits. Most clubs are using school fields for free in spring and summer and run their Club out of their own home so minimal overhead (very few exceptions). The majority of tuition money goes to Directors and Coaches. So if a Director forgoes a few dollars for better talent the theory would be it will pay dividends in the long run. Maybe you should go back and learn some basic fundamentals of business!

Typical costs

-Uniform including shooting shirt = $100
-Tournaments ($1800 to $1200 each ÷ 24 players)= $75 each
-Winter indoor training space - $300 hr ÷ 24 players = 19 each for 1.5 hrs
-outdoor training space - $150 hr ÷ 24 players = 10 each for 1.5 hrs

Add up what you get from your club and see how much the club banks. Most coaches don't get paid all that well either

They are looking to get a rise out of all you parents that respond to this nonsense, grow up. I really doubt half the posts about TB being the greatest and all the excuses for losing games were from a TB parent. That goes for the same for any other program just TB happens to be the flavor of the week. Some people love TB some people hate them, some people love Express some people hate them etc... Let's use this sight for what it was designed for, good luck to all in the upcoming season.


I guess the crap talking wont stop, ladies and gentleman grow up please

Coaches get paid ~$1,500 - 2,000 for head coach, a little less for assistant. There is also expenses for travel and hotel for coaches for away tournaments. You left out a lot on uni costs - helmet alone more than double the costs there. Add in a bag or anything else {jacket) , and you are beyond $100 before the helmet! 24 players? Not that many on every team - probably not the average based upon all of the teams my 3 sons have played on over the years with numerous programs.

Ok so do the math
Uniform. 100
Tournaments (5) 375
Indoor winter (15) practices 285
Outdoor practices-- free. No one is paying for those fields! After school anyone can use the fields

Total 760pp. So for TB it's a 2 for price of 1. Half the team is paying for the other half. JC gave up 11 grand and based on how many teams he's coaching he made it up in other grades.

If your son got cut you should be happy. At least your not the schmuck writing a check for someone else's kid!

Not that many on every team - probably not the average based upon all of the teams my 3 sons have played on over the years with numerous programs.[/quote]

Then divide it by the number of players on your team. Most teams average 22 players, but a lot of the b/c teams more for some reason, Truthfully and off subject. Take away 3 or 4 players for coaches kids and scholarshipped players.

$4500 for 3 coaches ÷ 18 players (hopefully that is better) = $250

You can Google the price of helmets (cascade s $295) and other equipment/clothes they add in as "extras" but since the club's buy in bulk or partner up with companies, warrior is doing it, they get pretty steep discounts on the stuff. Wonder if the gets passed down or in their bank?

Plus most tournament are far less than the 1800 ( even Google that) but figure $100 on the high side per player

Hotel room, what around $250 a night. Gas and tolls, another $100.

Insurance, (even though most just seem to bank on us lacrosse) $45 a player.

The point is, less than $1000 of what you pay goes towards the actual lacrosse experience, not including the extra clothes and equipmet some clubs required to get.

Some clubs out their breakdown the cost of were all the tuition fees go to, but most just give a price, that GOES UP every year, and say pay this.

Head coaches on teams average 3500-5000. Igloo hc makes 10,000.
I have news for everyone. EVERY club has scholarships. The guy standing next to you is not going to tell you he's not paying.

I've got one, and my tall friend has one. I wear blue.
Every team probably has 1-2 free rides, every team has kids recruited and promised a spot before tryouts, every team has kids never given the chance to prove themselves vs. some of the starting line that is perceived to be stronger or is the coach's son or the coach's sons best friend. It's the ugly under belly of this sport and youth sports in general. Find a team that your kid gets decent minutes and you can afford. If you are spending north of $3000/year on youth lax to watch the starting line play the majority of the game then you are getting hosed. Unless your kid loves collecting t-shirts and taking pictures where it's obvious they didn't see the field since they are not dropping in sweat. This BS on BOTC is out of control. good luck to all kids. I hope they all improve and have fun this coming season. Fellow parents sit back and enjoy your kids. They'll be off to college before we know it and you'll look back at all this nonsense and realize your craziness on this site was for you trying to fulfill YOUR dreams of being able to say your kid plays for one of the strongest teams.

I echo that 100%. On top of the fact the post was articulate, concise and realistic which most of us won't admit, it would be great for everyone to be able to come onto BOTC and get decent information.
Why did Express Haugen take so many kids this year? Roster size getting close to 30. Are there so many hold backs that they didn't have enough to go to Denver? Or is this just like the 2022 team that has over 30 kids but only 15 play?

This is the Express status quo - half a team subsidizing the other half! Keep laying out those big bucks so you can say your son 'plays' on Express!

Is the original post from an Express parent? How do you know they have taken 30 kids. I am not an Express parent but I know many people on the team and we have discussed team dynamics. Nobody mentioned the team size was expanding considerably from years past.

Well they added players this year, at least 3 of them so unless they got rid of someone they are approaching 30

Whether or not you agree or disagree with this post, parents will do whats in their families/child best interest. If paying 4K in tuition fees for youth lacrosse floats their boat, fine there is no law against that. Some kids don't have a problem with not seeing as much playing time as others, but go along with collecting tee shirts, that's fine to. If you don't have a problem with daddy ball, that's also fine. If you feel BOTC is out of control, turn the channel. My point is , the market is flooded with many different options for parents to select from, it's not one size fits all. When you mix children with competition, and so called status, couple that with parents emotions, organizations know parents will spend above and beyond for their kids. But remember, everything double edged, there is a flip side to it all.
Express added a lot more than 3. Wait for that first practice. They didn't want to cut kids they should have so now we have to many kids.

You forgot to mention that most club owners are slimy scum bags.
Not an Express parent, however a good friend son on team and he said they are at 27 players to date. I guess you will see at the Coloumbus tournament they are supposedly playing in it.

That seems reasonable given they have a few players that cannot compete in the WSYL due to age ineligibility and they want to field at least 24 kids for that event. 27 is large but not wholly unreasonable given the potential for injuries.

That seems reasonable given they have a few players that cannot compete in the WSYL due to age ineligibility and they want to field at least 24 kids for that event. 27 is large but not wholly unreasonable given the potential for injuries.


Its a lot of kids when only 14 of them will play, there will be a lot of unhappy kids/parents. The will all complain but they will keep coming back for more.

Leg-a-cee, True Blue, Empire are a few teams I've heard

Those are B teams. Express will win the t-shirts again.

AJ has a very good track record of playing all kids equitably. This may not be the case for the big games but he compensates for this and, over time, all kids get enough playing time. How do you know he will only play 14 kids?

So why go into the tournament?
How come no empire kids try out for real A team? Are they happy playing in B tournaments to try for a T shirt? Or simply not good enough?

This is the Express status quo - half a team subsidizing the other half! Keep laying out those big bucks so you can say your son 'plays' on Express!


Is the original post from an Express parent? How do you know they have taken 30 kids. I am not an Express parent but I know many people on the team and we have discussed team dynamics. Nobody mentioned the team size was expanding considerably from years past.



Well they added players this year, at least 3 of them so unless they got rid of someone they are approaching 30


Heard of at least one of their players on attack went back to his old team
Did Express field 3 teams at this age level again?

maybe you should have your son try to go to a different team before the start of the season.
Testing.
Nope. Check the email. Even the kids that played zero minutes in some games are still on roster. Ridiculous. Why they stay for the torture I don't know. Embarrassing for all of us. And now we added 5 more kids? I get we have to defend the title in Denver but still.

What "real" A team??......Last year, the team played in A division for all tournaments......."Good enough you question?"......PLENTY, Just happy with the team, unlike many others. And Yes, they can hang with a majority of the teams out there....

Yes my friends son was offered a spot on there third team. Listen I think its nuts Express can care less about that team, but if people are craziness enough to lay out the money Express would be crazy not to capitalize.
I think with Express A showing last year in tournaments and there additions this off season puts them ahead of the Bandits and make them the preseason #1. Anyone want to complete 2-10 or 2-5

Problem is last time they played Bandits won big. This time of the year everyone makes additions and thinks they have the best team. Let the games play out. Express is definitely older

If your not on the team why do you care? If your on the team you already know what you have signed up for so no surprises.

Yes it is 27 and we happen to know someone who isn't on list that is playing as well. Could easily be 30

Outlaws can be subbed with 91 Warriors. Igloo needs to drop a little more. Other than that this is a good outline going in. Who knows who will come out on top.

Great Post! Have two in college. One high D3 one mid D1. Neither of them played on any of these super teams. Played where they could get on the field and compete in decent tournaments. Did well in individual showcases and prospect days. Both had interest all up and down their spectrums. Both chose situations where they could be successful academically and athletically. Point of the story, play on a team where your son is on the field and getting better against the best competition you can find. With new rules fall of 10th grade and following summer mean everything for recruiting now. Until that point, play on a team that gets your son the most reps. 7,8 and 9th is your time to get better and improve. These new rules are great for the slow growers and late bloomers. Measure your son's travel team by how much better he is after the travel year. If he's no better find another team. I remember when my son played travel, he would come back to his town team and play so much better. That's what its all about. Getting better. Somewhere along the way travel has become more about the name on the jersey than improving as a player.

So Haugan must be a B team for going to OT with them
Is it true that True Blue is running a charity tournament in summer 2018?

Very good post. It takes some time to educate yourself navigating through the youth lacrosse maze. I found a organization with a coach that has improved my sons game. The team is very good, most importantly the coaches put the work in and the team is sold on their coaching philosophy. Along with that, the team more or less flies under the radar. You hit the nail right on the head, it's seems like it's all about the name than developing the player. Beware, don't get involved in the lacrosse "reality show." Form the outside, I see it going on all the time. Some parents will literately befriend others, and then cut the friends head right off without blinking an eye.

on LI
1. Bandits beat express soundly last time out added top defensemen
2. express- beat Bandits once got beat up second time. suspect coaching, added talent
3. True Blue on the Rise talented with good coaching
4.Igloo starting to lose talented kids huid from big tournaments
5. S2S Good core of talent added some quality players
6. Empire
7. Outlaws


Outlaws can be subbed with 91 Warriors. Igloo needs to drop a little more. Other than that this is a good outline going in. Who knows who will come out on top.

How can Empire be #6 when they beat #3 True Blue. BTW until TB beats Igloo & S2S they will always be ranked behind them.
Whoever is posting all this stuff is a jackass.
Who gives a flying frogs fat [lacrosse] if Empire is ranked #3, #6, or #23?What matters is that the kids seem to be really enjoying themselves and are improving. They are playing in pretty good tournaments and doing well. The coaching is awesome and they treat the kids great. Parents all seem to get along also. If the team continues to stay together they will just get more competitive.
Empire did good against express. Only lost by 2 [lacrosse]. Definitely improving.
Great post best laugh of the day, not an empire guy but more teams should go by this moto

TB tied S2S 2 years ago. And TB went to OT with Express. Last time S2S played Express they got smoked. Looking forward to next meet up!

TB also got smoked by Express in their first meeting 13 to 5. Sad when you base your average season on one game that you almost won.

I would agree. Blatant number one and Columbus Day number two. The day after Thanksgiving Tri Star starts to get weak by seventh grade because less teams go and teams that do go are never close to full strength anyway. But that one is probably number three.

If it wasn't 95 degrees that day and we didn't have to play back to back games and you didn't use holdbacks and then we would of won.

Most of these posts are not even from TB. Can we please move on from this.
TB struggled against out of state teams that were not even that good. They did not come close to playing the best teams at NXT and did not do well. They made some questionable player moves this tryout season. Taking bench players from other teams or kids from other teams B team shows that TB was either not that good this past season if these kids make an impact or they won't make any impact at all and TB will not improve. Don't expect much from TB this season.

Oh stop it. It is the best fall tournoment
Outlaws will be top 5 team LI this year.
All the people posting about TB are not TB parents, its some dbag trying to be funny. All you dads out that keep responding are even dumber for going back and fourth. The kids are 12 years old who cares whose team is better or ranked #1 as long as they get better have fun is all that should matter as a parent. Unfortunately half of the dads on here never played a sport and they are living through there kid. 90% of the kids can care less what the name on there jersey is, they just want to have fun with there friends and play Lax.

No parent from the Outlaws are making any such predictions. Similar to the previous post, kids are just looking to get better and, with a significant number of players returning, have a stable platform to continue to improve.
Rating 12 yr old lax teams. Lol. Must be sad being so pathetic. Who cares! They have fun and get better, that's what matters Losers!!!!

Which local Fall tournament is better than Blatant? They have a division for all levels of play. It is usually in October so the weather is still good. Are there better tournaments off Long Island? probably. But for Fall ball and Locale it is a great option.

Listen, somebody asked and we answered. Unlike you who added nothing to the conversation. Why don't you recommend a tourney and say why its a better choice than the one's we mentioned.

The TriStar Express run tourneys are awful and glorified play days. They are moving from Post Thanksgiving to the last week in Oct this year but buyer beware.

Channy must have thanksgiving plans this year.

Maybe because people do travel that weekend and there is another tourney LI that Saturday. What should we all be wary of, btw. The tourney has been well run in the past both the Summer and Fall events. My guess is they will bring in some out state teams by moving the date. Thanks for useful and insightful input...

Northport would crush the Outlaws select, double select, and triple select.

How about Shoot Out For Soldiers? Wouldn't this be better than lining your pockets with garbage? We'll be there. Will your club?

There are thousands of people in Huston TX that have lost everything, and people are insulting one another comparing which team their 12 year old son plays on is the better team. Come on!

Sometimes yes sometimes no. They are somewhat of a hybrid team. When they are at full strength with they Honey Badgers they could be considered an A team. But when tournaments conflict not so much.
The Northstars team hasn't played together for over 2 years! Proves that their is just a bunch of sh** stirrers out there.

So how many kids play on that team that are on the Honey Badgers and do you happen to know what positions?

You are thinking about the South Shore Thunder, not Shore2Shore (S2S). This past summer the only LI team S2S lost to was Express. They beat Outlaws and Legacy. Never played the Bandits, who had beaten them the previous summer and they never played Igloo but who from the Island did?
What is the prediction the 9D1 teams? Both of the teams are always in the chase, will this hold true this year? Please keep responses civil.
Nortstars are a bunch of B players that play for Express Hedstrom that couldnt make a A team but pissed off. Move on with your sour puss

Beating the outlaws and legacy is not saying much. Need to play express, bandits, warriors, true blue and empire.

The question wasn't to debate if they are an A team or not by your standards. Call then the 1st if that makes you feel better. If you don't have an answer for the question move on.

You're putting Warriors, True Blue and Empire (Empire!?!?!?!) in the same category as Express and Bandits? S2S has played Express multiple times in tournaments over the last two years and beaten them twice and lost more than that. How many times have those other teams beaten Express? (the answer is zero)

S2S doesn't "need" to play those teams. If they are at the same tournament and they are matched up, then they will play them.
Is this the Same S2S that lost to SYAG, Outlaws and Igloo last year in scrimmages? Solid team but not elite level by any stretch.

You are referring to the wrong team. S2S is different from South Shore Thunder which pulls kids from Express Haugen.

South Shore Thunder does not pull kids from Express Haugen. They are a total separate team put together from Merrick, Bellmore and Wantagh. They are all good friends and they enter in around 3 tournaments. The kids all play on separate club teams Haugen, Trueblue, Recon, Igloo and maybe a few others. They play together when they can all for fun.

They don't have a new team. They advertised as if a Suffolk team was forming, did a quick bait and switch then added to their last years team. You say New Team, so what are you saying about the kids that played on the team last year who are returning. Better watch what you ask for, you'll be shopping for another team again next year.

I saw the new kids at tryouts and they're a much needed breath of fresh air to jump the club up another level. Don't be scared to play them.

FL$ at the 2023 is a non entity, they will not compete with Bandits, Haugen, Trueblue, Igloo, Empire and S2S. Even Hedstrom, Legacee and the Warriors would beat them. They have never had a good team at this age group, plus they play in horrible tournaments. I have never seen them play anywhere. But good luck FL$ I hope your team does well this up coming season.

Another level up? after the supplemental tryout? Good luck.
Not saying much you will beat empire. Express beat them by 2 [lacrosse]
Now that's one funny statement. Best of luck to those players

Empire is terrible. They've never been a good team. True Blue played well in one tournament and crappy in 5 others. S2S didn't play a quality team all season and Igloo barely beat SYAG and got smoked by all quality teams out of state. It's still Bandits and Express and Express is on the rise.

Why don't Sachem and your Empire team that plays B tournaments an hides from top teams Play in some A level tourny an see what happens
I understand your frustration with NP, about 10 families combined have left your teams over last two years at this age group and a total of 15 families from multiple towns Huntington included have specifically left the top team, trying to isolate negative comments to NP might be good for business, but issues are wide and deep. Continuing to post disparaging nonsense about other peoples children will only continue this negative loop, your call, but probably best to let it go.

Fl$ secret? It is no secret. They charge a lot of money and most tournaments they enter are their own tournaments and sometimes do tournaments with 3D. These are B level tournaments but since they run the tournament they can call it an A bracket. FL$ at their own tournaments set up the brackets so they play the worst teams and put the best teams in the other brackets Top two make the play offs from each bracket and they get smoked by a better B team in the playoffs after going undefeated beating C teams in pool play. They then tell their parents how good they did by making the playoffs when in reality they only beat the three worst teams that joined the tournament. 2018 is FL$ last good team. After that they are B and C teams at FL$. It's no secret. You never see them at the good tournaments at any age group. If they went they would have to enter the B bracket and explain to the parents why they are not playing in the A bracket. Easier to enter their own tournaments call the bracket filled with B teams an A bracket which they don't pay for and charge the parents a lot of money and control who they play to get in the playoffs. It is that simple.

So based on your wisdom S2S didn't play any quality teams, therefore when they beat your express A team at one one the blatent tournaments, this must make you one of this low quality teams also....

Other programs/parents want to drag them into their soap opera lives because misery loves company.

Or it's because they're not very good, play in weak tourneys and claim to be one of the top teams on the island.

You poor thing. You're basing the stature of your team on a fall tournament? Come on now, we all know that fall tourneys don't mean anything. Fall is a time for trying new things, new kids, new positions, etc... the only tourneys that matter are in the summer. Did you play any real tournaments last summer? I don't think I saw your team anywhere.

You get great coaching and they run some great clinics, as of this 2023 team I heard they made some improvements this year.

All tournaments matter, that's why the kids play games. To win. Losers like to start chirping excuses. Very funny!

We don't claim anything.....it's the pot stirrers that claim that. As for not "being any good" and playing in weak tournaments; you know where to find us and/or contact our coach to play/scrimmage......oh that's right, you don't have a kid that plays.

I guess arrogance must be in the eye of the beholder. My son is on the team and we have not witnessed any arrogance on the part of PB or any of the coaches.

This must be your first year. I saw a lot of them at tryouts also.


No. it is not my son's first year.

We're not giving away our secrets to BOTC.


Fl$ secret? It is no secret. They charge a lot of money and most tournaments they enter are their own tournaments and sometimes do tournaments with 3D. These are B level tournaments but since they run the tournament they can call it an A bracket. FL$ at their own tournaments set up the brackets so they play the worst teams and put the best teams in the other brackets Top two make the play offs from each bracket and they get smoked by a better B team in the playoffs after going undefeated beating C teams in pool play. They then tell their parents how good they did by making the playoffs when in reality they only beat the three worst teams that joined the tournament. 2018 is FL$ last good team. After that they are B and C teams at FL$. It's no secret. You never see them at the good tournaments at any age group. If they went they would have to enter the B bracket and explain to the parents why they are not playing in the A bracket. Easier to enter their own tournaments call the bracket filled with B teams an A bracket which they don't pay for and charge the parents a lot of money and control who they play to get in the playoffs. It is that simple.



You get great coaching and they run some great clinics, as of this 2023 team I heard they made some improvements this year.


F%G seems like a very well run organization, coaching, clinics, etc. But as another poster indicated, you don't see their teams around, they sanction their own tournaments which allow them to bracket their teams to their advantage. At this point who really knows the level of talent the organization has attracted, but the $3900.00 price tag(swag and all) is a bit too rich for my flavor. Even if considered, practices would have to be held around the corner for me for that price. All in all, there are great coaches and kids apart of this organization like many others.

So based on your wisdom S2S didn't play any quality teams, therefore when they beat your express A team at one one the blatent tournaments, this must make you one of this low quality teams also....


You poor thing. You're basing the stature of your team on a fall tournament? Come on now, we all know that fall tourneys don't mean anything. Fall is a time for trying new things, new kids, new positions, etc... the only tourneys that matter are in the summer. Did you play any real tournaments last summer? I don't think I saw your team anywhere.

Why do fall tournaments not matter? Do you make the rules?


All tournaments matter, that's why the kids play games. To win. Losers like to start chirping excuses. Very funny!


Express beat S2S by 6 in the spring and gap is only going to get wider.
Regarding F$G, why would somebody pay all that money to be on an B/C team, I know they are not seen much at tourneys but they have to be competitive and have good teams for people to pay that kind of money.

Unless those choosing this team for their sons are paying with your money, why do you care?

They have grades where their teams are more competitive - not sure they are worth the $ even then considering there are cheaper programs that are at the same level as they are. That said, you seem to be another one that thinks the lax world exists as AA and then everyone else are B and C teams. Once again, particularly on LI, there are a bunch of teams that are not AA but ARE A that fall between AA and B.
$3900 is my bar bill at the club...

How would you know? Please explain in detail everything you know.
Empire needs new attack. All 3 starters are no threat against good teams. When is the last time they beat anyone good? Can't score with the good teams. Everyone knows that.

What club teams where the kids from that attended their tryouts?
S2S should really be playing in town tournaments with the amount of kids from Manhasset on the team.

Best part of empire is watching the parents argue with every team. Lol

Really!!.....I guess you were stalking them at their tournaments last year..Huh?...They play whom ever is put in front of them. Can the team improve? Sure...As can ALL teams......(They are 12/13 yo remember!!) Obviously you have a vendetta against them and they have taken camp in between those 10" between your ears!!
You mean parent(singular).

who cares other than you? you must be pretty bored to have to think about this all day, enough for you to post it. maybe you work at a gas station, and it pisses you off that they are car pooling and not making them fill up at your place. why don't you throw some nails into the street so they have to stop to get their flat fixed.

all we've seen the last couple days is "team x" sucks, etc etc. are you that uptight and insecure? i hope your kid is able to tune you out for his own sake. you must be a dream to be around.

He/she has a point. Fall tournaments are used to see what's working and what isn't. Generally, there are new kids that coaches are trying to get a feel for (at different positions). Also, not everyone takes fall seriously. There are players that don't show for practices/tournaments, etc... The boys play/practice all fall, winter and spring to prepare for the summer season. Of course they want to win all of the tourneys that they enter (coaches AND players), but make no mistake, it is all prep for the summer.

Why not True Blue? Are they afraid? The coaches are big talk and NO action for the biggest baddest club on LI. Blatant is supposed to be the best tournament as spoken by "anonymous".

Incorrect. In the past FL$ has taken 30 kids. They will give out more than 30 offers because they know not everyone will accept. Sometimes 30 do accept. Last year the 2021Nassau team had 9 attack and a hand full of defense because all the attack accepted the offer. They moved attack players to defense. They still had more than 6 attack.

SYAG won't be there because Igloo traditionally plays in this one. SYAG coach's kid along with another player are on Igloo.

I live in Sachem and it's so confusing/frustrating on the youth level. SSC, SYAG, Rising Elite (north only) waiting on something from the East side, LI premiere and the East and North clubs. Add to that, all the good kids play club. All that and it doesn't translate to the High School teams.

FL$ gets about 40 to 50 kids at tryouts. Sometimes a few more. In the old days they would limit tryout numbers it to 69 kids and it would be filled in one week. So the best players would go to them. It has changed now. This is now a last resort team for most. Not all but most. Until a few years ago they did not have any teams younger than 7th or 6th grade. They are relatively new to youth lacrosse. They need to make changes in the way the do things to get back to the glory days. They need to make changes at the youth level to attract talented kids , develop and keep kids from leaving. It is a shame because they have so many college connections but they now lack the talent to do anything for the kids.

All teams are picked the the same way . You could have 9 attack, 12 Middies, 10 poles the way they do things. You have been lucky so far that has not happened yet but it could happen.
Does anyone know the cost to play per club? regardless of A or B?

I don't think they lack talent, they have some very good players, just not sure how deep the team is.
A lot of talk about F$G, but it seems like nobody knows how competitive this team is, just curious are they any good

They don't have anymore A teams. All are B level teams except for 2019 and 2020 which is B plus. From 2021 and younger they are B level and get worse each year.
Syag,trying to make it a program. Trash at the top. High school teams stink. Join Soccer. Jokes on you!!!

SYAG (I mean Empire/Warriors/Igloo/Bandits) not practicing this weekend.
Syag is made up of sachem and empire kids that can't make any other team so they tend to stick together. B team at best
Can somebody tell me when is last time Sachem won anything at high school level in lax?
Complete Losers. We are hanging out with the family enjoying the last few days of summer. When your kid is sidelined for overuse injuries, and is a burn out in 10th grade with major anxiety problems because you forced him to fulfill your dream in life, don't wonder what happened.

The youth program construct doesn't set up success on the next level.

There's no reason for that team to be called SYAG anymore. Most of the starters are from other towns and play for other teams.

This topic is so old. Get over the name already and move on.
They have 23 or so kids on the roster, 4 from other towns.

They don't have anymore A teams. All are B level teams except for 2019 and 2020 which is B plus. From 2021 and younger they are B level and get worse each year.


Yet another "A team" idiot = if your team is not AA, it"s B!
F$G has very strong teams, they have excellent coaching, run great clinics that attract kids from many different teams,

No such thing as AA. There is A and B. AA is a marketing tool. Anyone who gets fooled by that never played a sport and will never understand.

Must have been able to take a litttle time out from your family on these last summer days to troll BOTC just at the right time to see the post you are answering. Loser and stop answering your own post.

Enough. Fl$ is a b team. They lost to 3 villages 11-3 at their own tournament. They are not A or AA or B plus. They may not even be a B team. If you don't understand what that means we will make it simple. They are not a good team.
Correction. Not that it makes a difference but FL$ lost to Three village 13-2 not 11-3. They entered the lax clash weak B division and finished 1win 2 loses. They did not enter the A division.
4 kids cause of friends not talent obviously. Leave them Be

Is this really a hard concept for you?? AA is a subset of A, comprised of the truly elite teams. So, AA isn't its own classification
What is AAA? I Heard an owner telling a parent at tryouts that this is the team that they were trying out for.

My kid plays on what you would call AA. I call it A. I don't see a separate category of AA for three teams on Long Island. Sorry. I see A and B. Top 5 are A with two or three on top which you would call AA. The rest are B. It makes more sense to call the top 6 A and the rest B. It makes no sense to have three teams AA teams and the next three A and the rest B. I will tell you as with my older kid who also plays on what you would call AA and I call A -- the colleges don't care. They know which tournaments are the good ones and they watch the top division. Does not matter if it is called A or B or AA. At the prospect camps they don't care or ask if a kid plays A ,B or AA.

Cite any other mature sport where such an assinine approach to classification exists. And we're talking about Long Island, where despite growth in other areas, is still top 2 in the country for the game. There are more teams on LI at EVERY age group that deserve to be considered A than just 5! In any reasonable classification system, every tier will have teams that comprise the top, middle and bottom of EACH tier - that is accomplished by five teams how?!
Because there are not enough players to fill the number of teams on Long Island and the better players try out for the top 6 teams. Hockey has less players but less teams. Baseball has many more players than lax. So with the few players and the many teams for lacrosse one would expect only a hand full of A or AA teams. Does Long Island have more than 6 A/AA teams in any age group? If so who are they?

Again, missing the point that any category will have top, middle, and bottom teams at that category You are saying there are no middle or bottom tiers to A based upon the claim that there aren't enough players to do so. Huh? The middle and bottom tier teams in any category will lose more often than not to the top tier BY DEFINITION, yet your logic makes them B? Yet, the middle A tier teams dominate the (true!) B teams, and even most of the bottom A tier teams consistently beat the B team. The same thing plays in in any classification system, be it A, B, and C. Only A, a being the highest classification, warrants special 'recognition' of its top tier, or AA. The current shortsighted/exclusivity system taken is why most non-academic tournaments have improper team participation and very uneven levels of play, a classic symptom of immature sport and an inhibitor of the sport moving up the maturity curve!

This is too far over the top. Fine a team that fits your child, your financial, etc, and move on from there.

What you are referring to is the micro level - lax as a sport at the macro level is mired in an existing situation where growth is being stifled (not stopped - there IS a difference) by the status quo. This status quo is maintained by ignorance of the problem or an outright resistance to change by the self-proclaimed elite of the lax world - either way, it is preventing the sport from maturing to what it can be. The above classification approach wasn't over the top for baseball, soccer, hockey, etc - it is what is necessary for any youth sport to be considered "well organized", which in turn allows participants and teams to play at appropriate levels, tournaments to provide proper experiences as competition, etc. In total, organization at the macro level will increase the experience at the micro level - not sure why anyone looks at this through such a myopic POV, and can't see why the current system is holding lax back.
Who are the 6 A and AA teams on Long Island for 2023? There are are not 6. There are 4 or 5. Can anyone name 10 A and AA teams on Long Island for this age group? Absolutely not. That's why calling teams A and AA does not work. Not enough teams. A,B and C works. You can't call teams that are really B teams A which you would have to do with the AA, A and B system.
Empire A.

AA is not its own tier - it's simply the best of A. Thus, AA can't essentially equal A. I won't argue that I any age group that the divide between AA and the rest of A may be wider than expected, but that does not mean there are no other A teams.
A and AA 2023 teams are igloo, 9d1, express, s2s, true blue, outlaws and empire. Can argue some of these may not be an A team but it is a real struggle because most teams are not A level. If any other Long Island team goes out of state and plays A or AA teams they will be crushed. In fact most of these teams will be crushed by out of state A teams. True Blue struggled with out of state A and B teams.

The majority of the so called AA teams have holdbacks (90+1,Express,Igloo). If you go outside of New [lacrosse] the holdback issue is even greater. If every team is age appropriate you would not see a disparity. Express A team from last year has at least 5 kids on there team that cant play in the WSYL. Plus they added the new kid who cant play in the WSYL. So next July 4th weekend we will see who the top team is in 2023. in the end who cares, I'm actually kicking myself for even responding to this stupidity. Right now the two best teams on LI at the 2023 age group are the Bandits and Express Haugen, after that its a crap shoot. Its Football season anyway enjoy.......

Yes. Next summer. How about you call the director of either one and ask for private tryout.

This has nothing to do with True Blue. Facts are facts. True Blue did not do well at NXT against B teams. The point was there are not enough teams to have a AA catagory. The hold back argument does not change things. You can't call hold back teams AA. Those who have older kids know you have only seen the start. Wait until 8th and 9th grade when out of state teams start to reclass kids. You will see teams with 100 percent turnover from the prior year and some being made of mostly hold back and reclassed kids with 16 and yes from Canada sending 17 year olds to play Long Island 14 year olds.

Outlaws are definitely AA

Very accurate assumption. We can beat any of the above teams this year. We reloaded and are stacked.

I didn't realize there was so many people watching the NXT results. Exactly my point the teams that have the most holdbacks, reclass whatever the case maybe are right now the better teams. The teams that have all on aged players are pretty equal. With that said each year the kids get older that gap narrows, but from 6th-8th grade its very obvious. Once 9th grade rolls around 99% of kids will have hit puberty and the playing field levels out. I do like the laughs that goes on here so fire away moms and dads.

In Ninth grade the Long Island 13 or 14 year old will be playing 15 and 16 year olds. The gap won't close until later. Go watch a top tournament 2021 division. It is gross what is going on.

I wouldn't be surprised if we go deep in the wsyl next season. Don't forget, the holdback teams will show their true status for that event.

That's right. I can name a few holdback clubs: Igloo, Express, 91. We will be far superior once wsyl comes.

Long Island has won every year so far. This coming year better be the same. Honestly this is the year 2023 that has the most boasting and bragging parents compared to any other year. Let's hope it's not all talk and Long Island can win again.

You have to go to the qualifying regional tournament and place. The teams are seeded and chosen based on the place they finish.

They were in an AA bracket. How is that playing against B teams? Your jealousy is comical

Another smart guy with a son that is a B player on True Blue that does not know what it takes to be an A player or team. Just because a bracket is called AA does not mean it is has AA teams. The Sons? AA? The Sons went clean two years ago and cut all the Holdbacks so you don't have that excuse. Those teams may have felt like AA to True Blue because True Blue is a B team. Trust me when I say no one is jealous of True Blue. Second rate organization. Every board has True Blue parents claiming to be an A team. If you are good and A or AA you won't have to keep convincing us. The loss to the Sons does not help your claims of being an A team.

True Blue teams at 2021 and 2020 are legit A - and at half the cost as the other teams they contend with . . . you may not like it, but at the end of the day, that doesn't really matter and you lax 'elites' are ruining the game for everyone! Another "AA or B" idiot . . .

So then your taking a shot at the players that stayed. Seems like a good plan for team morale.

No way true blue 2021 is an A team. Who have they beat? True Blue 2020 team got crushed by a Long Island 2021 team. If that is your standard of a A team you have no clue. Look at the tournaments true Blue enters. All awful. It is people like you who have no clue of what an A team is and keep coming on here saying your team is A that frustrate people to no end and results in the negative post about your team. All true blue teams are B level no matter how many times you say otherwise and no matter how many names you call people.

Don't knock the AA, A and B system because your kid is on the bottom of that and can't make a good team. If your kid was on an A or AA team you would be in full support of calling teams B. You know it. I bet you are the guy that says hello to everyone face to face and would never call anyone a name to their face but comes on here and starts the name calling. Can't win an argument the last resort is call names. Trust me you are making True Blue look bad with your post. We all know your response already but go right ahead and say it again. I for one will not respond to you again and I hope no one else does either. If True Blue enters AA or A tournaments see you on the sidelines. Good luck to your kid who has to put up with you.

Missing the point - according to you bozos, there is no "A" - you all cite the "AA" teams, which even I don't disagree with, but then everyone else is B or lower. By your own definition there is no "A". It's asinine!

Don't knock the AA, A and B system because your kid is on the bottom of that and can't make a good team. If your kid was on an A or AA team you would be in full support of calling teams B. You know it. I bet you are the guy that says hello to everyone face to face and would never call anyone a name to their face but comes on here and starts the name calling. Can't win an argument the last resort is call names. Trust me you are making True Blue look bad with your post. We all know your response already but go right ahead and say it again. I for one will not respond to you again and I hope no one else does either. If True Blue enters AA or A tournaments see you on the sidelines. Good luck to your kid who has to put up with you.

For the record, over on the 2020 board, in posts asking for the top LI 2020 teams a few weeks back, TB was listed in the top 6 by numerous posters, and there was no real debate that ensued on that list . . . that pretty much makes them accepted as an A team.
d luck to your kid who has to put up with you.

Comment was made that TB had NO A teams - you don't want to read it, move on by . . .

If they are stacked, then why did PB send out an email this morning stating that they still need a FOGO and another D? And, this is after 3 tryout dates.

If you can't control the face-off, it is pretty hard to put the ball in the net because you are on defense the whole game. The team has some very good players. There are kids on that team that can play for almost any team in the grade.

But, the team suffered badly last year because there was not a real good FOGO. They never beat one of the 4 elite teams last year--never even got close to them. They lost twice to TB and Legacy. They got smoked by IGLOO, S2S and Express Haugen. This AA team only won 1 tournament, and it was in a class A (eg.B) not AA division. Unless they massively upgraded at every position, I would be very surprised if LIOutlaws qualify for WSYL. Good luck trying though.

You seem to know a lot about them and who they played. Either you are on the team or just left. What good players do they have since your the all knowing.

You have made pretty fair evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the team. You can add consistency in the level of play as the team has moments where they appear on par with many of the elite teams and then the level drops off. What you should also realize is no Outlaws parent is going to come onto BOTC and make such claims as it just opens the team up to ridicule. Several people have posted in the past that the Outlaws are looking for the kids to improve and for the team to get better. The kids have 4-6 years to really improve in order to have a shot of playing at the next level. That is the ultimate goal. Not winning the WSYL which would be nice but, in the long run, will not get the boys into college.

In the future, if someone makes such a claim, it is not an Outlaw parent.

Outlaw ownership; Realize, this forum is mostly used by former members of your organization that were apprehensive about voicing their opinion while apart of the team. If they did so, in most cases ownership will back the coaches and their kids will suffer at the coaches mercy, and don't say it's never happened! So when they do leave, the organization is open to criticism from the parents and all that comes with it. I guess it's okay for a half baked coach to ridicule a 12 year old kid, but it's not okay for the parent to do the same to the coach?
Who knew that there were so many talented players floating around that could have been scooped up by the elite teams, but instead decided to head to the the LI OUTLAWS!!! That's fantastic news for the OUTLAWS that the have miraculously stacked their team with a brand new AA roster!

Who will be superior? Dream all you want....the only teams fromLI that will be there will be Express, 91, and Bandits. [/quote]

What makes you think this was posted by an Outlaw. A D*CK is a D*CK and just calling it like it is. You are the guy that has so much free time on your hand that you stir the pot. If it is not the Outlaws it will be another program. Do something constructive with your life.

I hope you all realize and have enough common sense that's not a TB parent, just some jerkoff thinking he is funny...
This can't be a TB parent. Whoever you are please go away and stop trying to sand bag the program. We are so tired of hearing your nonsense.

I keep seeing references to TB being some fraud or scheme, yet not following exactly how that is. Does someone want to explain? From afar, it seems like they are like about every other lax club out there.

Rip off who? lol it is one of the cheapest ones and one of the most talented ones.

I keep seeing references to TB being some fraud or scheme, yet not following exactly how that is. Does someone want to explain? From afar, it seems like they are like about every other lax club out there.


That's a far very stretch

... and your coaching qualifications are what exactly??! FTR, it's Associate Head Coach, NOT Assistant.
TB gives a lot less than other clubs that is why they are less expensive. Less practice time, less tournaments and less expensive tournaments. The older years they are not invited to the top tournaments. Even the younger years they don't go to the best tournaments. They go to the less expensive tournaments. They are not a full year program. Close to $2,000 for what you get is actually expensive compared to the other teams.

Full year program? Tomorrow will be already be practice #4 and we will go 1 or 2 days a week until its to cold. At least 10 Winter workouts, then we go back outside in the spring. Cant get much more year round then that. 5 Tournaments in the Summer and 1 in the Fall. Kids get uniforms, bag, helmet, gloves, jacket, shooting shirt not sure how much more your team gets. Price of tournaments I know nothing about. Good luck to everyone this year...

Turnout has been fine at least 18-20 at every practice. I really don't understand the hatred for TB, the idiot(s) that post all the top 5 stuff and that TB is the best is not a TB parent. Whoever you are you don't like TB or Cat we get it. Try doing something constructive with your time instead of bashing a Youth Lax program or 12-13 year old kids. Again good luck to all the programs this year see some of you at Blatant.

Please, I asked a simple question concerning you practice schedule, being that some kids play dual spots, especially football. 18-20 kids per practice is very good for the fall.

I am not an igloo parent. My older one did it last year. Organized great and kids played equal time. No favoritism to the igloo kids. Not many coaches but the ones that were there were the best of the best. They were amazing with the kids. Very active when training the kids and very active on the sidelines during the games. Last year they gave free video not sure if they are doing that this year. As you know recruitment is much different now than it was last year. They are only looking at 2020s and older. If you are doing it for fun definitely do it because the coaches are very into it. If you are doing it for recruitment you may want to wait a couple of more years. One last thing. People talk a lot about the igloo owner. If you go to this event you will see how organized he is.
2024 has had over 8 practices since tryouts. They will continue to go twice a week until the fall tournaments are over. That will be over 20 + practices for fall alone. I know this is not 2024, but you have made a false statement. Everyday you bash True Blue. Leave us alone and no one will respond, very simple.

You don't understand the hatred? Well let's start with this. The true blue parents are out there promoting this team like they are the greatest thing on earth and either do not tell the truth or will leave out important information. You are getting about 15 to 18 kids at your practice. However what you failed to tell the people is that the practice is combined with the A and B team. If you really felt this program was so great you would not have the need to leave out facts and not tell the truth. The fact that the truth is not being told shows that deep down inside you're not confident that your true blue program is as good as you claim.

You can't be more direct AA!! But this isn't AA just in case anyone is wondering.

2023 is practicing Saturday alone the B team is at 1. What is the big deal anyway? The same coach is coaching them getting both teams better. No parent sees a problem with it, you just want to find something bad about the program. That is nothing bad. Try harder next time please. The new Kids from igloo, 91 and all these other programs talk about how their kids learn more in one practice then their whole lives with other programs. Both teams are getting a college coach and enjoy it. It is a family program people do not care about whether they practice with A and B they are happy to be apart of the program. You guys should learn, not everything is about competition and who is A and B. They compete at the highest level everyone has fun and there are no issues in the organization like you guys. The only bashing comes from other programs who are jealous.

Did you practice twice a week last year in the Fall? From what I understand there was little to no practices last year until Spring. If the practice schedule has changed you can't claim someone is making things up. Also Fall tournaments based on a prior post is one tournament this year which is not a lot for almost 2k. You want to be left alone but look at this thread. True Blue parents are posting. The same stuff is being posted on the other threads too.You want to say what you want and don't want to be challenged. It does not work that way. People will always disagree with post. Someone posted the other day that in the 2020 thread True blue was ranked number 6 so that makes them an A team because no one challenged it. Well what the 2020 post really said was there is a new team in 2020 that no one has ever seen and they will ranked ahead of True Blue so that makes True Blue Number 7 on a 2020 thread that the main arguments for a very long time has been that there are no A teams after the top 3. So don't talk about false statements and being left alone. These post promoting True Blue are all over the place. If True Blue was good it would be annoying to keep reading these post all over the place but the fact that they are not so good results in the responses you are seeing.

My two sons have played with TB and they practice as much every other week in the fall (one of my sons teams has been practicing weekly since mid -August this season), about the same or more during PAL/school season, and then 2 times per week thereafter through the tournament season. They attend the same number of tournaments as they had with other programs, five to six. Winter training was extra, but that also was in line with other programs they've played with. How is that less than what other programs offer? Further, how is that a scam?? Personally, I am not looking for tournaments during the fall nor during the spring - both of my boys have more than enough to do with football and then school ball during those times to be traipsing around to tournaments in addition to those other commitments, so I see that as a benefit, not a downside.

I don't want practices twice a week in the fall! My kid has 5 football practices a week into November - squeezing in a lax practice once a week or every other week is already taxing their body. Talk about over doing it - then you wonder why kids burn out and walk away from sports!

Full year program? Tomorrow will be already be practice #4 and we will go 1 or 2 days a week until its to cold. At least 10 Winter workouts, then we go back outside in the spring. Cant get much more year round then that. 5 Tournaments in the Summer and 1 in the Fall. Kids get uniforms, bag, helmet, gloves, jacket, shooting shirt not sure how much more your team gets. Price of tournaments I know nothing about. Good luck to everyone this year...

Turnout has been fine at least 18-20 at every practice. I really don't understand the hatred for TB, the idiot(s) that post all the top 5 stuff and that TB is the best is not a TB parent. Whoever you are you don't like TB or Cat we get it. Try doing something constructive with your time instead of bashing a Youth Lax program or 12-13 year old kids. Again good luck to all the programs this year see some of you at Blatant.

The fact that the truth is not being told shows that deep down inside you're not confident that your true blue program is as good as you claim.


Your right both teams did practice together the last two times. I only gave you the A team numbers if you want me to be exact there were at least 40 kids with both teams, I was only speaking on how many kids were there from the A team. Also the people promoting the team are losers from other teams trying to stir the pot. I'm a TB parent and I'm confident that its not the parents on this team saying we are AA and we are top 5 and we are the best like I said just someone stirring the pot and you guys continue to feed into it. TB doesn't have to status that 90+, Express and Igloo but all I can say is that its a very good program my son has gotten better each year he loves the coaches and his teammates. If everyone just worried about there program there wouldn't be any issues and this thread could be used for what it was originally meant for. I'm done responding to this stupidity I wish all the kids luck.
On to the next topic....

Is this MC looking in the mirror? Only 4K/year c team in the group. A fool and his money are easily parted!

At least I'm not an assistant coach.


Or a high school coach who barely played in high school never mind college

Did you practice twice a week last year in the Fall? From what I understand there was little to no practices last year until Spring. If the practice schedule has changed you can't claim someone is making things up. Also Fall tournaments based on a prior post is one tournament this year which is not a lot for almost 2k. You want to be left alone but look at this thread. True Blue parents are posting. The same stuff is being posted on the other threads too.You want to say what you want and don't want to be challenged. It does not work that way. People will always disagree with post. Someone posted the other day that in the 2020 thread True blue was ranked number 6 so that makes them an A team because no one challenged it. Well what the 2020 post really said was there is a new team in 2020 that no one has ever seen and they will ranked ahead of True Blue so that makes True Blue Number 7 on a 2020 thread that the main arguments for a very long time has been that there are no A teams after the top 3. So don't talk about false statements and being left alone. These post promoting True Blue are all over the place. If True Blue was good it would be annoying to keep reading these post all over the place but the fact that they are not so good results in the responses you are seeing.

You need professional help.
This True Blue thing is old already.

Thanks for making my point FOR me - keep on trying, though . . ..


You are posting this idiot stuff on behalf of TB on other threads too. You must be the the TB director. Again you are not making TB look good and showing your insecurities. I don't like the term AA either but I don't think people who luse the term are idiots.
I'm going to ask two simple questions to True Blue parents and hope I get an honest response. But seeing what true blue parents are posting ihere my bet is that I will get a name calling answer. Do you think it is a conflict of interest for the owner of true blue/the coach of the 2023 team to be giving private lessons to certain members of the 2023 team for an extra fee? Also Do you think it would cause favoritism to those kids who pay the extra fee as opposed to the kids that are not paying the extra fee for the private lessons?

First off, what proof do you have that it is a TB parent making these comments? 99% of the posts are anonymous. This site is a troll's wet dream.
To answer your question, as a parent of a TB player, it is possible that there might be a conflict of interest. It would be foolish for the coaches to jeopardize the teams' chance at winning and becoming a desirable club to play for by favoring a potentially less skilled player because he takes lessons from the director. However, every club has it's "extras" at a price. Shooting/defense clinics, box lacrosse, optional training, etc. Additional training for a fee is not TB exclusive. It is par for the course in the club lacrosse scene.
Let's be realistic here. You asked these "simple questions" not to get an intelligent answer or to gain any useful information. You are just trying to stir the pot trying to seem as if you are not doing so. Which team does your son play for?
This True Blue thing is no longer entertaining. I know one organization that hopes it continues.
Get over true blue and move on already. Seriously just stop talking about it.

Stir the pot or point out that negative things going on with a club may not be obvious? To answer your question I won't say which team because I'm not on here boasting about the teams ever and am smart enough to know that any team I mention will be torn apart. I would not subject myself and other parents on the team to that. We all do a good job not posting about our teams to avoid what you are going through. But my kids all play for a team that is considered in the top three in their respective years and each Is considered a AA team by those who use that term(I don't use that term). They all start too. But that makes no difference. You answered my question with an answer you can't possibly believe. Good luck to you.

Yes JC does privates agreed it could be a conflict of interest however only two or three kids that go are on the A team the rest are on the B team trying to get better. Also the 2 or 3 kids from the A team that go are kids that start and could play on any team they would tryout for. But good luck stirring the pot some more, you almost came off sincere (D-BAG)

No other clubs' personnel offer privates to players? What world do you live in?? You're critiquing one club's actions when that is the status quo! SMH. And while the practice COULD lead to conflicts, are you aware of any pervasive and/or specific instances thereof with respect to TB and this? It would seem to me that there is agreed upon conflicts with the some of the big three programs and their coaches as it relates to the privates they coach for - older ages than this board, but relevant in that there are all kinds of conflicts within club lax in general!

It's not a conflict if both parties agree.

You guys are getting way too deep into this. Lacrosse travel teams are private clubs, if someone disagrees with the inner workings within that club set by the directors, you leave. The only reason this is an issue, someone opened up their big mouth and told a parent(s) who they thought were their friend. Keep your mouth shut, worry about your own kid.

It's 7th grade summer lacrosse what conflict of interest is there? Lol, coach cat only plays the best kids and does not have favoritism you can ask any parent that. He puts in who the thinks will do the best, end of story. If he did do what you were insinuating, then all of the kids that got moved to the second team would still be on the first. Stop worrying about us and worry about yourself. What a joke.

Believe me coach Cat isn't worried about anyone's opinion on this web site. So keep wasting your time posting all the nonsense and see if anything changes or anyone cares. Unlike another owner/director who constantly on BOTC trying to defend his program.
Ok. Let's change the subject for the love of god.

My son just joined a new club. A bit pricey in my opinion but it is what it is. That's a whole other discussion. I just added up all their practices and before spring/summer kicks in, they'll be at about 30 practices. So figure may June July they'll get a lot more. That's a a lot. How much does practice go towards the yearly cost per player? Some are ad various outdoor fields, winter is indoors. Just curious and trying to get some normal dialogue going.
Parents remember when you brag or call names it means you lack confidence and are insecure. I hope these are not TB parents acting like this. Just let the director promote the team the way he wants. He does not need you to do it for him.

Don't know the amount of $$ owners pay their coaches per practice, but clubs which use public school field space only require a permit. Clubs are in business to provide a service, but most importantly to make $$. But back up even further, I don't care how much you are paying for tuition, if your son's skills/game isn't improving during the season, assuming he (your son) and your family are fulfilling your roles, no amount is worth it. It's all a personal preference. you'll find some as you see here, like certain clubs/coaches and others may have a totally different take on the matter. Don't throw good money at something bad.

So your feeble attempt to ridicule TB is acceptable, yet you don't want to open yourself up to the same treatment? Kick rocks fella. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You obviously have a vendetta. No one, who doesn't have an axe to grind, would bother posting what you posted. Your posts tell more about you than the team you are trying to slander.

Not public school space. And yes he's getting better. Been with good coaches but we moved and can't really make the drive work where they were. And I wouldn't waste time or money with coaches or teams that don't help my kid. I was just throwing the question out there out of curiosity.

I went to tryouts for Legacy. Total joke. No evaluations so I'm thinking either Bayport kids or a phantom team will be showing up.

RIP OFF for 12 year olds. Anyone that signs their kid up is the same person who puts their kid on an Express team with 30 kids. Chase the fake dream.
Don't understand someone paying $435 at this age for scrimmages that coaches are not even going to look at because they can't talk to the kid for another 4-5 years.

Call it what you want and tell them not to go if you want but they are right. We as parents need to stop chasing the dream. The coaches will work with these boys but there is no way they are looking at them at this age. I am sure you're loaded and I would never tell you what to do with your money but i would prefer to take that and drop it on good seats to a ballgame for me and my son to hang out.

The coaches will work with these boys but there is no way they are looking at them at this age. I am sure you're loaded and I would never tell you what to do with your money but i would prefer to take that and drop it on good seats to a ballgame for me and my son to hang out.


You got that right.
I think everyone is forgetting what this is supposed to be used for. It seems everyone here should be professionals by now. Why is this turning into who has a bigger stick. Just let them play and learn. Just because you can afford to play at a higher level doesn't make your kid better. Take it from someone who spent 1000's on his kids for this crap. If your kid is good he will be good. No need to go off on the other dads. Use this for what it was designed not a pissing contest. Some people actually come here to find out stuff,

Just my opinion.

It is a great experience but more suitable for 2019-2021 and not for 2023. Kids are just too young to worry about catching the eye of a college coach for recruiting purposes.

Why is it not good at all. I don't think they ever came on here saying they are trying to get to the WS or anything like that. Maybe a kid decided to play after all and would fit right in with the team. Please stop it people they are in 7th grade.

In most cases parents do whats best for their family, it's not one size fits ALL. I consider us fortunate here on Long Island, there are many programs/options to select from.

i think he was more saying that if they are looking for kids to fill out rosters now, there's probably not much to choose from-quality and quantity. 2023 they are still trying to do 2 teams, not sure which one or both has # issues. the other years they have just one team i think. fact is there are a lot of clubs out there to choose from.

Not really. The term is used loosely for a faceoff midfielder. Most teams with minimal exceptions have the faceoff midfielder play on a particular line. If the team only has one "FOGO" that player may actually face off and get off for the other midfield lines.

3 Kids From Gold went to fl$- Good luck with those parents
There are only a handful of teams that can compete day in and day out against each other. I'm not saying they are all equal but I think you will get pretty good games every time they play. The first two are still a little ahead of the pack. Years past I would have had Igloo with 90+1 and Express but haven't heard good things out of there camp. Any other team at this age group I think these six teams beat pretty steadily and convincingly. Im talking just Long Island before everyone starts to go nuts.
90+1, Express, Igloo, TrueBlue, Empire, S2S

Gold is the 2nd team.
its Bandits, Express A and Igloo A, then everyone else. If you disagree, you are delusional. Once your kids team has beaten these teams more than once, then come talk.

I think Express A will take top honors this year, but not at the WSYL, overall they will do the best in tournaments IMHO. However in the WSYL there best players can not play. 90+1 will drop to 2, I believe that Igloo Empire and TrueBlue will be fighting for that third spot. I think S2S will be an absolute disaster this year. Good luck in the Fall to all and will see everyone next year or maybe at a fall tourney.

So you have to beat these teams more than once to be considered same level..According to you? NM daddy.. what a joke

With a 30 man roster loaded with holdbacks I agree they will be top dog on the island, but at the WSYL all the holdbacks cannot play so again I have to agree with you that they won't win it all. Thanks for your opinion express daddy.

WOW this site has reached a all time low. You're upset at a guy for stating the same thing you just said? I guess you just wanted to type something to be heard. Oh my fault you added that they have a 30 man roster to the comment or maybe you just articulated it a bit more than he did. lol. This site is great.

Why "will S2S be a absolute disaster" as you put it? Did their main players leave the team or do you know something about their additions not being up to par.

Look we can all admit the Outlaws have had a issue the past few years with turnover. Some like the coaches some can't stand them. Can we move on from that one or at least read a few pages back if you want to go over that again.

fl$ will take care of them and make them better. I'm sure they'll get more Outlaws next year as well. It's a good feeder program.

Not sure where the original poster gets their info, S2S will be improved this year, they picked up the best player from my sons Express B team, another very good middie from Igloo, and two very good attackmen. Their defense has always been good.

So fl$, a team that has not been on any radar at this age group, get three kids from a "B", another clubs 2nd team. Now they are going to be a dominate team at this age group. Do you read your post out loud before hitting the submit button?

Nice try BR.
Ummmmm, not true. Their best close defenseman is back (along with the rest of the D), and their LSM, who may be the best in the grade, is back as well. More fake news from the liberal left?

So fl$, a team that has not been on any radar at this age group, get three kids from a "B", another clubs 2nd team. Now they are going to be a dominate team at this age group. Do you read your post out loud before hitting the submit button?[/quote]


The real question is "Do you know how to read"? Where did anyone say F$G is going to dominate....[/quote]

You post about taking players from other teams. Talk about how you will make them better. You talk about them being outlaws best "b" players. I'm sorry I misinterpreted your intentions. Guess you meant you plan on staying mediocre. Enjoy the view from the cheap seats again.

Select is B and PB can't stand to look in the mirror and admit it. So keep going in the A division and get your butt kicked. It's time to bring in your UNC coach and rebuild your club. Good luck.

What are you talking about? The convo was about FL$ and Gold. Please stop with your personal vendetta against the Outlaws and PB. The Select team is very good and has no more issues than any other club team. It's so obvious that you are only posting this to bash the program because they didn't like you and either your son wasn't good enough, or you were an idiot and no matter how good your kid was, they just couldn't deal with you anymore.

What UNC coach? Please don't start that, you might fool some people but not all. Yea, right UNC!

It's why he left and is never happy where he goes. Some people just lead miserable lives and love to live in the negative zone.

No where does it say the Gold coach is a UNC coach. Nobody said he was a UNC coach. Hew played there and the Outlaw website clearly says that.

All B teams from all programs go through this claiming that the B team is really the A team. It always turns out the A team is the better one. This is know exception. I'm sure the Select team is better than Gold.

Gold lost to Brooklyn at lax fest. Normally beat up on the pikes of express white. Decent b level but come on. Be realistic. There's not enough koolaid on long island to think select would lose.

Spoke to our head coach about scrimmaging the select team to determine who the A team should be. Said PB would never let it happen. Does not want the controversy.

Why don't they put them in the same bracket? Could only be beneficial for the program if they could both make it to the finals at a tournament.

Just curious what tournaments has DN played in and won? And who did they beat ? You make a pretty bold statement for a mediocre team at best.

Dukes is a PA team, and they're awful. All of the PA boys got bumped off of Dukes National by kids that know how to play lax.
Didn't the Bandits beat them at the finals of Dicks? Must have been a different Dukes team.
Lots of clubs still holding supplemental tryouts. Not a good sign for some if these smaller/newer clubs
Throwing alot of shade at PA considering you all infest our fields like roaches at a Hempstead Motel. Back to the original question....which clubs are playing any of the PA Tournaments. this fall. Love to listen to the True Blue parents again at a B level tournament talking about how elite their team is....

You haven't figured out that those posting about TB aren't TB parents but [lacrosse] stirrers?! If not, I've got some bridges to sell to you along with you saving $2,500 per year on your health insurance and how you can keep your doctors!

True Blue will be there and expecting to win. Hopefully you'll be there so we can wipe your noses when you cry over the loss.

Looked at the tournaments they posted. Only a NY Fall Tourney, guess we will have to wait for the "B Slayers" to come to PA.
If you really think that your a bigger idiot than the PA parents
bashing TB on here. Its two or three that left TB or JC and cant
let it go..they should just move on and worry about their
own future with MC and the $5k price tag thats right around
the corner..but hey not bad for those that are scholarshiped
that dont even start..lmao

Express got a few studs from PT. Big, fast and skilled. The same 2 guys that took the [lacrosse] bandits to a braveheart a few months ago. You got a few guys based on their birth dates to fill out your WSYL roster. It'll be no contest. Express by 8 goals.

Westchester board making reference to 2 '23 Prime Time players going to LI E - could be the same guy posting on both boards to substantiate it, but maybe not . . .

Does anyone have a humble bone in their body?
Haugen's team is carrying 6/7 more kids than last year. Such an embarrassment. Kids won't even see the field and still want to go along for the ride. Daddy coaches with the big guy keeping his fogo son on the field too long. This team will be lucky to last the season.
Sounds like an ex- PT parent trying to talk up some nonsense about her son joining Express. Stop the self promotion, you're embarrassing your family.

Not only that but we have an enormous roster. Partner that with a pushover coach could get ugly. Practice reps will be difficult
Low IQ, me-first player coming your way to LI Express ...

All teams are expanding their rosters this year because they need players the will fit the WSYL eligibility requirements. 4-5 kids from everyvteam don't make the cut but the club still needs to represent. The fact is that Express added some high quality players and Bandits got a few roster fillers that will never see the field and a big slow pole. We'll see how it plays out, but since we beat them last year, we should dominate them this year. Little vs Big is not a good matchup.

There is not one kid on my sons team that is a holdback. Every single kid is 12 and will be 13 next year, so not every team has 4-5 kids that don't make the cut. Only Haugen, 90+1, Igloo you know all your so called AA teams that need older kids to win t-shirts.
This thread is hilarious for the last 2 months it was bash Outlaws, TB, Empire, Fl$ etc... Prior to that it was Express, Igloo, 90+1 and some guy BM. Now we are back to bashing 90+1 and Express does anyone have anything legitimate to talk about on this thread or will it always be a [lacrosse] session by parents about 12yr old boys and there teams. What a shame!!!!!!

What exactly would you like everyone to discuss? All you seem to do is come onto this board and tell everyone how lame they are. What legitimate topic are you bringing to the table?

I'm not the original poster, but what your saying is its ok to bash 12 year old kids and teams that's real mature. However I do think you are lame if you are bashing kids (KEY WORD- KIDS) that makes you lame in my book. Sad thing is its not just 2023 its every age group but 2023 is one of the worst groups.

The only clubs that are not being hammered are those that are probably in the lowest tier talent-wise - it's fairly obvious why they don't get hammered, and I don't think any of it has to do with their business model.

Recon does a nice job of engagement with the kids, community service, cost, and transparency.

Recon does do a lot for the community. It was something that attracted us to the tryout. Problem was some of the coaches on the field acting like aholes. My kid is a B player anf was offered a spot on their B team. We deckined because of the way the one coach barked at his son through the entire tryout. Hard enough dealing with daddy coaches. When they treat their own kid that way I can only imagine how he treats the others. The fact that they are hokding supplemental tryouts proves I wasnt the only one that declined their invite!

S2S doesn't get a ton of bashing. It will be interesting to see if that continues now that they have expanded. Hoping they didnt just turn into a money grab with their 2nd team.

AJ's Loyalty to some of the boys and their families on the team will be the teams downfall. They picked up a big middie from P/T, but he is not a play maker, he doesn't pass the ball, and will not succeed against a decent defense. Channy is still trying to sell the first and second 2023 teams, that they are both going to the WSYL, hopefully no one on the second team is buying that crap. For those families that are paying the increased tuition to play on the first team with an inflated roster, you need to have your heads examined, especially if your son is not already receiving quality minutes on the field. For all tournaments other then the WSYL, they will play only the top players (including the WSYL ineligible players), and then you will get hit with an additional charge to go to the WSYL, and your kids will again not see the field, because Channy wants to repeat last years victory. $3,800 plus the WSYL fee, travel expenses plus, is not worth just being able to say your son plays for Express' first team. Without time on the field, your son will not develop into a better player down the road, when it really becomes important. P.T. Barnum said "There is a sucker born every minute", as long as people keep paying, you can't really blame the directors of all of these travel organizations for accepting the money. As always, buyer beware!

I guess these clubs didn't read the WSYL rules because there is a limit on the number of players you are allowed. So when all of those extra kids who paid $3,800 bucks to play can't, what happens then? Creating huge headaches for themselves and definitely not looking out for the players. It's kind of ironic that the teams who have been cheating with older players to win all these years now all of a sudden want to be legit! You can't make this sh** up!

You completely blow any credibility by speaking poorly about the new mid from PT. He's a great player and very nice kid. Too bad the NY families accused him of being a holdback when he played with Dukes Nationals against LIE.

I wasn't speaking ill of the young man from P/T, my point was that his addition to the team is not going to solve the bigger problems that exist with the team, nor will it improve the situation for those boys that spend most of their time on the sideline.

I am not proposing any club in particular. I was pointing out that while the concept of Recon is good, the whole thing gets soured by daddy coaches that think their kids are the end all be all and act like jerks. Many of these clubs that still don't have complete rosters are suffering because of the way some of these coaches behave. While the nig clubs have the same problem they fill rosters because they win games and have made a name for their organizations.

I think they get their share on here. Time will tell on their team. How do they look? They usually do a .ca tourney. Will be the first look at all the new teams for the programs that pay.

Prime time dad just sign your name. You've been trying to pump your son switching and his impact on express. Your the one ruining it for your own kid while making an a** of yourself

Maybe they saw some talent in extra kids and are hoping the competition for playing time brings out the best in all the kids. For 12 y/o boys it's a long time until summer season.

Let's discuss which clubs are NOT getting hammered, and explain why? They might have a better business model.


The only clubs that are not being hammered are those that are probably in the lowest tier talent-wise - it's fairly obvious why they don't get hammered, and I don't think any of it has to do with their business model.


S2S doesn't get a ton of bashing. It will be interesting to see if that continues now that they have expanded. Hoping they didnt just turn into a money grab with their 2nd team.


I think they get their share on here. Time will tell on their team. How do they look? They usually do a .ca tourney. Will be the first look at all the new teams for the programs that pay.

S2S is looking very good. Going twice a week and well run practices. Can't say anything negative so far and all the kids get along.

Recon does a nice job of engagement with the kids, community service, cost, and transparency.


Recon does do a lot for the community. It was something that attracted us to the tryout. Problem was some of the coaches on the field acting like aholes. My kid is a B player anf was offered a spot on their B team. We deckined because of the way the one coach barked at his son through the entire tryout. Hard enough dealing with daddy coaches. When they treat their own kid that way I can only imagine how he treats the others. The fact that they are hokding supplemental tryouts proves I wasnt the only one that declined their invite!


Was the coach from the A or B team.

His kid was a goalie. No clue if he is on the A or B team. Coach was barking at him to bring him water, yelling at him and kept putting him back in the cage taking time away from goalies that didn't have Recon helmets on. My kid isnt a goalie, but if he talks to his own kid that way and clearly felt his kid needed to be seen (when the rwality is the kid had a spot) told me that he wouldn't be the kind of coach I would want for my kid. Daddy coaches are a necessary evil but can ruin an organization.

My son is on Express. I believe both Express B teams will be at Blatant. I know legacy has a tournament Columbus day in which is team is playing in.

Last year the B teams were:
Igloo b
West Hampton beach
BBL helix
718
Exp. white
Exp. CT
Momma’s boys
Outlaws gold
Force
I would imagine this year should have a similar showing.

What were the A teams? Was Blatant the tournament that was played in the down pour last year?
Yes the weather was terrible. A division was:
Syag
Express haugen
Express Hedstrom
Igloo black
Outlaws select
Legacy tornadoes
Three village
Recon
Shore 2 shore
2 way select

It would be interesting to see if half those clubs (no names) could even compete in the A bracket this year. I think this will be an exciting year watching the B+ teams play each other. The playing field is spreading out, and it's great for the sport. I'm glad BOTC changed its anonymous filter. We're tired of reading about how a couple of teams are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Thank you Orangepubichair for the list.
It would be nice if they had B+ brackets at these tournaments. I mean who wants to watch a true B+ team beat up on a lackadaisical team that tend to play in these tournaments.

What the [lacrosse] is a B+ bracket? If a coach thinks they are better than the B teams play up for better competition. Many won't do this because they want to bring home a t-shirt. If people would get over the we always have ti win and hust try and develop 12 year okd KIDS this sport would be better off!

The reason for the multiple brackets is to ensure good competition for every level of teams. The big programs that have 2 teams in our boys age bracket don’t want to play each other at tournaments. People on here always complain that one team plays down to win t shirts and how they would get killed in a true A bracket. Instead of B+ how about A, B,C brackets. Who cares. What I care about is my sons team playing a team that is a little better or a little worse. There should not be 15-2 games in any bracket. But with only A and B brackets... Sure some tournaments have AA brackets, but that’s few and far between for the local tournaments. My son has been on both sides of blowouts. It is not fun for anyone..

We are playing at TR park on Columbus Day, so maybe they are moving fall brawl to an earlier day or maybe just a different organization altogether? I wasn’t told a name for the event though.

You probably need to wait till around Wednesday. In the past, legacy some outlaws, some express, Warriors and I think South Shore Thunder (which will carry some Igloo and True Blue kids if they are not playing with their main clubs). Don’t think and 91 teams will be there this year though.
The schedule is posted.

Wow, that's interesting. The parents don't even know about the fact that their kids would be playing in this event. If you are one of the owners I would suggest that you start telling the parents.

Huh? Love these RIDICULOUS random posts. Your screen name tells me ypu are a tool. I am not an express Dad, but minus the White team which is just a money grab the other teams still win quite a few games. The A team is at the top of the top 5 list.

So now that they have the option to post anonymously again, all the jealous, little trolls with nothing of value to add to any conversation come back out from under their rocks to spew their usually stupidity. If you have something like this to say, grow a pair and attach your name to your post.

Which organization is the best at teaching, training and developing the kids to become better lax players? I'm not asking for the best or top team but for the lacrosse club that teaches and produces better player.

Everyone's going to have their own opinion as to who's best. Helps to have a team with "better" teams. that way they are working on more than basics and can get real work done. That's not to say the lower teams aren't getting work done. I've seen my son's on different level club's and it's night and day the level and type of practices they can have and what can be worked on. Do research, ask people who's opinion you trust, and try yo make the best decision for your son.
[quote=Anonymous]Which organization is the best at teaching, training and developing the kids to become better lax players? I'm not asking for the best or top team but for the lacrosse club that teaches and produces better player.

Everyone will give you a different answer, but look for the one that keeps the sticks in their hands the most. Love them or hate them, but 91 includes weekly trainings all winter and then both teams supplement with box training and tourneys so you’re getting training a minimum of 2x a week. I think Igloo offers weekly winter clinics too, but last year they were in Queens. Not sure what Express does, but I think the do some box tourneys. Not sure about the training though. A lot of the smaller teams have awesome coaching, but may not have access to the same amount of time as the bigger clubs.
The only way your son gets better is by playing. These teams will take 26 kids to Maryland and only play 12 kids. Your son does not get better watching other kids play.

F$G runs many clinics throughout the year, during Sept. and Oct. they have a clinic once a week plus an hour and a half of practice time, in the fall there is another two hours a week of indoor clinics, in the winter they do box. They keep the kids busy all year round.

If your kid plays any other sports in the fall and/or winter, you also need to consider what you are looking for.

A lot of the smaller teams have awesome coaching, but may not have access to the same amount of time as the bigger clubs.


Express does 3 fall tourneys, 10-15 fall practices, intensive winter skills training by top instructor George Powers and box



F$G runs many clinics throughout the year, during Sept. and Oct. they have a clinic once a week plus an hour and a half of practice time, in the fall there is another two hours a week of indoor clinics, in the winter they do box. They keep the kids busy all year round.


True Blue has 10-15 practices, 1-2 tournaments in the fall, winter training indoors from Coach Cat, and then summer ball begins.

That's just team practice, what are they doing to work on skills and improving the skill set and lax IQ of the kids.

Two points: 1. if your team practices don't regularly include drills that improve skills and lax IQ, your coach isn't doing practices right! Supplementing team practices with clinics/sessions that emphasize positional situations and skills is great, but they should be supplemental - not the only source for those development opportunities. Pro athletes still go through such drills and exercises as part of their day-in-day-out team practices, so please spare me any argument on this point. 2. Unless your team winter workouts are on a full field and limited to game situation instruction, then almost all teams' winter workouts are pretty much limited to skill development, IE in direct contrast to your inferred critique.

All of that happens with the head coach. you need to find one who knows what they are talking about and truly cares about the kids

Some of the bigger organizations hold open clinics during the winter outside of team practice for skills and IQ. Leg and Outlaws both offer that. I’m not sure about the other bigs.
keeping kids busy...lol..have to justify the cost somehow huh

What do you think its going to be free, if they put in the time and effort to train your kid and your happy with clinics/program, yea there should be a cost.

Why is Legacy in the "C" division at the Columbus Day Invitational? I'm sure they could take Outlaws and 3 Village easily. Any thoughts?

I think they lost a lot of players from last year's team so maybe they are taking it slow out of the gate but they are playing in basically the B bracket of their own tournament.

We will see how the measure up but from what I’ve seen, that’s a safe assessment of the team

Legacy didn't take tryouts too serious. Heard there were no evaluations. Guys with clipboards goofing around and not writing the better players down.
Too bad... they could have been a contender.

Every team has practices and does fall tournaments, what are they doing different or more than any other team.

More doesn't always equal better, just as different doesn't always equal better. Provided the quality is equal, I might opt for less because my kid is committed to other sports in the fall and winter. I also may opt for an equal quantity for less money, again assuming the quality is close to equal. And the whole quality aspect of this is 100% subjective as well - there are many different coaching styles and some may be better fits for certain types of players than others. This plays out in ALL sports at ALL levels, including the pros. I'd say that the OP's Q is not a simple one to answer - there are a lot of variables that would go into the mix to answer that Q. You can't simplify something that is not simple to start with. Considering no one here knows any details about the OP's son, his ability/experience, location, finances, etc, no one here is going to be able to provide a truly meaningful answer - basically all he is going to get is a lot of recommendations for the most well know/established clubs, which I could easily argue are not the best options for many of reasons the variables mentioned.

Your coach knows the details.
It’s a scrimmage, so you won’t see it on tourney machine. If that’s what you are looking for.

Just checked tourney machine, are you stating all the teams in 2023 division are b/ c teams
Legacy is playing Express C, TB B, and the Ducks. Enough said.
As far as the 2023 division goes:
Outlaws, express, empire, and three village are all good teams.

On Monday there is a four team round robin S2S A and B, Igloo A and TrueBlue A. Ducks were originally slotted for this round robin play I guess they opted out and entered the East Islip tournament. The TrueBlue team in the East Islip tournament is the B team. Looks like crappy weather anyway so the round robin thing may not even happen. Good luck to all playing on Monday.

And almost none of them have probably ever had a kid coached by him either, so opinions from afar are just that - less than informed. And while it may be a vocal group here on BOTC, it might not really constitute a lot in the actual scheme of things.

I'm an outsider to this conversation, but I do have experience with JC and I don't like it at all. I don't know if all the others have the same bad experience that my son has had.
fellas TB is a good team Coach Cat is a good coach. Im sure there are a ton of people that don't like him or the organization just like a ton of people hate Express, 90+1 and Igloo. People hate BM, AA and JS not really sure why and i don't care. I really wish people had better intentions on here but unfortunately they don't. Just looking to bash a program or coach thats the norm. I know some jerk off will respond and say thats what this is for so whatever. Listen whatever team you play on you obviously like your coach and organization, so good luck with your team but please stop bashing other teams its shallow and uncalled for. If you think you team is the best great if another guy thinks his team is the best great in the end who gives a [lacrosse]. None of this matters until these kids sign with a college and 90% of them will not be D-1. Whatever I guess I'm in the minority i Just want my son to have fun first get better and learn the game, but who am I.

This TB guy is relentless with the self promotion. Give it a break. Every day we are subjected to how you justify yourself as an A team.

On Monday there is a four team round robin S2S A and B, Igloo A and TrueBlue A. Ducks were originally slotted for this round robin play I guess they opted out and entered the East Islip tournament. The TrueBlue team in the East Islip tournament is the B team. Looks like crappy weather anyway so the round robin thing may not even happen. Good luck to all playing on Monday.
[/quote]

Tough sledding for s2s b team. They probably havent even played a game yet and they are playing 3 a teams? Good luck. True blue vs igloo vs s2s a should be good though.[/quote]
This TB guy is relentless with the self promotion. Give it a break. Every day we are subjected to how you justify yourself as an A team.[/quote]

What makes you think its a TB guy and where is the self promotion. Where in these prior posts is the person making a claim to be an A team.

TB vs Igloo, TB vs S2s, will be good? I think it will be a blowout for TB to be honest. Stop promoting yourself.

Your right an absolute blowout, we shouldn't even show up. We are going to lose all 3 games by double digits. Thanks for letting us TB parents know how bad we are. I had such high hopes this year. My man you really are a jerkoff.
It may be a tough day for S2S b but kudos to them for giving it a go. I am intetested to swe how they do. It will be their first time as a team playing an actual game. And remember this is a scrimage, nothing more (although I assume there will be lots of chest beating). Good luck to all the kids playong this weekend. Hope someone will report on how it went.

Make sure you post the scores Mr. "A" team!
Why isn’t express haugen or the bandits there at this round Robbin
Here we go....The trash talking begins

Igloo, yes. S2S, no. Doubt it will happen anyway. Weather looks terrible.
Haugen, Bandits, Igloo black ice or whatever their A team is called. They are the top 3 2023 teams on the island. Put them in whatever order you want. Sure on any given day these teams may lose to a s2s or TB or Empire A. But 9 out of 10 Times the y will get beaten handily. Who gives a crap. The question is wether your son still enjoys playing lacrosse, the coaches are training them properly and the families you are with mostly get along. Some people will love a coach and the person next to them will not like them. It could be playing time, it could be the amount of yelling they do. Who knows? Some parents are win at all cost people, some are not. Find the right spot for you and your son and go from there.
TB took express to a braveheart in a Championship game a couple of months ago and should of won! Igloo hasn't played anyone in a year. I think you are being a little premature in your rankings. STS added some new pieces and so did other teams. I guess we will find out at the WSYL when all the teams with the holdbacks have to play on a level playing field for the first time!
Mark Millon putting together 2023 championship next summer like he did this past summer for 22s. July 15 in Md. anyone know which lsland teams are playing?

Good teams have a history of winning. Yes, TB took Express to a braveheart. But they lost. They also lost to Empire the same day. They also lost to some very mediocre teams at NXT. I’m not saying they are a bad team. They aren’t. They are very good. But this age group is filled with very good teams. I couldn’t consider them a top team until they can prove to win consistently.

Well, that's a start - I have no horse in this race, but I have yet to ever see anyone on BOTC acknowledge TB as being anything other than a bad or B team from non TB parents.

Yeah and their hothead coach blew his gasket. Don't know why he's always mad, can't he accept he doesn't belong in the division?
TB coach should have to put on a muzzle when he checks in at tournaments as a condition of entry.

What do you expect it was so wet outside how were the kids suppose to play their best, if it was dry outside the results would of been much different.
Only saw one game posted at legacy tournament, did they play any more games and if so how did teams fare?

Outlaws need a coaching change. They really should NOT be playing in the A brackets. Just because they enter in a top bracket doesn't mean they should be there.
Horrible afternoon!vhnmye

Games called after 1st game. It was right decision ....

According to you only Bandits, Express A and Igloo A belong in this so called division. So I guess only the GS Warriors Cavs and Spurs belong in the NBA you guys are really delusional. Ill agree they are the top 3 LI teams in this age group. However that doesn't mean TB S2S Empire etc are not A teams. Grow up, again this is 12yr old Lax.

Agreed - the absence of logical thinking on the parts of some amazes me every day!
No, they played one game in the pouring rain, and then cancelled the rest of the tournament after that!!!
The rain stopped and it was a mass exodus out of there.
Should've cancelled before the downpour or let them finish playing.
What a waste of time!

Unless you have a kid on the team, your opinion does not mean squat. The conditions were deplorable today and only showed which teams were better at playing lacrosse in sh** weather, not which teams are better at playing lacrosse.

Don't care about your team or your coach, or the result of your kids one and a half games played, I didn't make the post you are so offended by but I'm calling you out on your bs weather comment made behind your anonymous computer screen. Every kid played in the same deplorable conditions and no doubt if your kids team happened to win the tournament its because they are better at playing lacrosse and had nothing to do with their foul weather coping abilities. Stick to indoor lax it will suit you better.

They called it midway through the second game. Windy as heck down on the water. Silly thing was that they called it just when the rain stopped. Completely ridiculous.

Empire Green has really fallen. Not sure what happened, but they really struggled today. Must’ve lost kids. They barely beat Igloo B and we losing to a town team before the game was called. Hopefully they can right the ship.
Town team was killing empire. Ship has sunk.
3v town team looked like best team there today.
It's time to bring in a professional ranking system for our 12 yo kids

It’s fall and a lot could have gone into though. Time will tell.

First time they ever played a game together outside of practice, and they looked very good. Definitely legit. They held TB to one goal by halftime. Goalie, Defense, Attack, and Midfield will be very strong come Spring time. Nice coaches and the kids were polite. Kudos to them. Thank you to TB for playing them.

So now you want to judge the future of these teams based on a couple of games played in the fall in a ridiculous conditions against a town team that obviously brought down some of their older boys so rhey can win a fall Tournament.
You missed it, way over your head. I think the posters point was when ever TB loses a game there is always an excuse, holdbacks, the referee, too many games that day, too hot out, best player didn't play, ect......

Unless you have a kid on the team, your opinion does not mean squat. The conditions were deplorable today and only showed which teams were better at playing lacrosse in sh** weather, not which teams are better at playing lacrosse. [/quot

the excuse wagon is rolling out!! May I suggest you have your kid take up an indoor sport like bowling so you don't have to make a fool of yourself posting nonsense bs..



"Excuse wagon" after one game. Don't think so, buddy. And the only thing that hit a nerve, and continues to hit a nerve, is how all of you sh** talkers have lots to say from behind the safety of your computer screens, yet, you all went silent during those few days that you were unable to post anonymously. I just don't get why any of you care about any of teams aside from the one your own kid plays on. Worry about your own son and his team and coach.


Don't care about your team or your coach, or the result of your kids one and a half games played, I didn't make the post you are so offended by but I'm calling you out on your bs weather comment made behind your anonymous computer screen. Every kid played in the same deplorable conditions and no doubt if your kids team happened to win the tournament its because they are better at playing lacrosse and had nothing to do with their foul weather coping abilities. Stick to indoor lax it will suit you better.


JC doesn't have an indoor lax facility.


Where?

What makes you think my kid doesn't play on the team. We are a B team, that is it.


No your not. Your one of the Northstars who was there.
What are the top 4 teams then? Sounds like Igloo, Express haugen, 91 Bandits and then True Blue. How are they not A? They just beat S2S which is probably the 5th team.

Doesn't . . . Doesn't . . .Doesn't !

Secondly, why reference JC as though he IS TB - he is one of three Directors, and not even the largest owner of the three!

S2S Lost by one goal to TB, and Tied Igloo A.

So since you can't follow more than one thing at a time let me clarify for you. The comment about the score was a direct reference to poster stating that TB should now be top 4 because they beat S2S. I simply asked what was the score of the game TB played against Igloo. We've heard about how they did against S2S-A and S2S-B but no mention of how they did against Igloo.

It was a total blowout. Do you know why? Answer: it was raining, cloudy day, windy, it was in Oyster Bay, etc....
What was the score of their game against Igloo?[/quote]

In the A bracket:

S2S A lost to TB 6-5
S2S A tied Igloo 6-6
Igloo beat TB 16-4

Despite the records and it being a scrimmage I don't think there was any doubt about what the order of these teams should be. TB is not there yet but have improved and are getting closer.

It was a good day of lacrosse - they should do these more often.

It’s not even worth debating. The gap between the top three and the rest is massive. Just look at the TB/igloo game. Igloo scored at will. Effortlessly. TB snuck in a couple, but it was all by force. Everything had to be a layup because the crease was cramped with no less than 2 players at a time. Even Paul Rabil couldn’t find a clear shot. The amount of dropped/missed/bad passes is unacceptable at that level of play.

It’s fall and a lot could have gone into though. Time will tell.


The worst team out there was the Outlaws.


No, I watched. It was probably Empire. The wheels came off of that team yesterday. But it could have been an off day. There will be more opportunities.

First time they ever played a game together outside of practice, and they looked very good. Definitely legit. They held TB to one goal by halftime. Goalie, Defense, Attack, and Midfield will be very strong come Spring time. Nice coaches and the kids were polite. Kudos to them. Thank you to TB for playing them.


what was the final score? true blue is good i'm surprised it was only one goal at the half. thanks for the info but i guess your son is on the team. seems kind of rosy outlook no disrespect intended. good luck to them though. plenty of time for all the teams to get work in before summer starts.

3v will spank TB. Not even a game, ask Empire A. They will tell you.

I stayed and watched the game after my son played. 1st half S2S B held TB even though it was played all at their goal. Score at the half was actually 2-1 TB. Goalie made some good saves and the defense held their own. Second half was a different goalie for S2S (not sure if they made other changes) He let up 6 goals and the defense didn't look as strong. Not sure if TB played at full throttle (coach was screaming like the game meant something). Final score was 8-2. Team has potential. Considering it was their first time playing as a team, they did ok. Curious to see how they do in the spring. Are they playing any tournaments in the fall?

So now you want to judge the future of these teams based on a couple of games played in the fall in a ridiculous conditions against a town team that obviously brought down some of their older boys so rhey can win a fall Tournament.


Obviously you have some factual info to support your age bias claim, mind sharing it with us??

3V doesn’t even beat all of the Suffolk PAL teams, but now they’re a top travel club. That’s a joke. They played two extremely weak teams. Accept it and move on.

Listen Im a TrueBlue parent and a realist. We beat S2S A 6-5 lost to Igloo A 13-2 (Thats the score not all the other scores that were posted) and we beats S2S B 8-3. Bottom line Igloo was the best team there and S2S and TB are pretty equal they play 10 times it would probably be a 50/50 split or either team wining that 6th game, it could go either way. The S2S B game against TB was a lot closer because all the non starters played majority of the game middies played Defense Attack played Middie etc. All I can tell you is its a long time until the Summer season and JC will have TB ready to play. Call us what you want A,B,C,D don't bother me one bit. Im here for my son to learn get better and have fun. This is a true assessment of Monday, have at it Dads rip this post apart if you like but its 100% truth. Oh 3Villages is an excellent town team but I don't think they would beat us, just my opinion.

Stop drinking the tainted cool aid. Your dribble of a post has too many errors. You must be the guy who comes on here every day spewing about how much he loves JC. For all we know you are JC. You love listening to your ranting and yelling whether it be at the Ref's, kids, or on BOTC.

So you only beat a team that has been together for less than 2 months by 5 becuase of your second string? Doesn't say much for your bench strength! Either that or S2S B will dominate the B bracket.

You are just getting BS from parents/people outside the program. Ignore the non sense. They have't even decided if they would try to qualify. So whomever is writing this crap is not part of the program. Just some (lacrosse) stirrer who is acting like a parent. It happens all the time with TB, people posting crap as if it was parents. Thats all it is...garbage.

Go back to the part about thicker skin. And the Yankees are on so you get baseball analogies. My kid and I like lots of sports. We don’t just put all of our apples in our town team lax basket and get on our knees for his coach. We like football,soccer, basketball, snowboarding and girls, too. You and and your guy obviously like a shaft in your hand a little too often.

You guys need BM

you have to go to denver to figure out who the best team on long island is? that is pretty sad.

Statement one TB did switch players to other positions. Middies did play Defense and a couple of the Attackers went to Middie. Yes JC does yell and teaches also sorry if you are offended when a coach raises his voice, I apologize if it hurts Little JoJo ears.

Statement two tour right it is a shame that Denver has to decide the proper best team in the 2023 age group. Its the only true tournament out there. All on age kids playing on the same field wow isn't that nice. Sorry Maryland, PA, and the Big 3 on the island its sucks that your holdbacks can't play.

Good luck to all in the Blatant...

As usual the big three will be playing in Denver with one of them winning the championship. Same old - same old.
Good luck to all at Halloween Havoc tomorrow. It's going to be a great tournament.
How will the big three compete in Denver with all their holdbacks, won't they be age'd out?

Did he end up with another team?
The real question is can the holdbacks play in the qualifier. My bet is they will. Since i've never seen anyone ask for proof of age at a Long Island tournament ever.

Very talented & very deep. Every year they say the same thing. One of the big three have been in the finals every year & have won the championship two out of the three years.Expect the same results next summer.

That’s the thing, everyone assumes they’re all holdbacks. Think people will be surprised when they see they’re really not. No more excuses to fall back on.

I don't think there are as many pre sept 1 bday as people think. Given how innacurate almost all factual information is on this site is say it's a non issue.
Rosters with proof of age, birth certificate, school documents, etc. will be required as they are in Denver. April qualifier at Cantigue park in Hicksville, will be the true 2023 tournament to see where teams are ranked! So put up or shut up!
Why is Denver WSYL the new gold standard? It’s been around 3 years now and that’s all the matters to some people. A lot of teams across the country don’t even enter the WSYL.

Not sure if it’s true or not but, the WSYL will soon have some East coast competition.
Which of these will be the 4th team to qualify?

Prime Time
Shore 2 Shore
True Blue
Warriors
Empire
Outlaws

TB parents keeps spreading the holdback rumor, in their minds that's the only reason they lost to those teams.

That's the first truth I've heard on BOTC, and especially about the JC wanna be's.

Your right the only people that ever bring up holdbacks are TB parents, its not the hottest topic on BOTC just TB parents bring it up, what a tool.

Qualifiers as well
Our team went last year and they are required PRIOR to the qualifier as rosters and documentation are due PRIOR to the qualifiers.

What was the score of the games those two teams vs Igloo?
Sharks are the up and coming team.
Empire "A" can play with anyone. Remember top 5. I've been reading this for 2 years! You people are clueless.

Keep telling each other how good your club teams are. Hysterical. People need to get a life. Empire, Tb, igloo and S2s are not in the same breath as Bandits and Express. Not even close talent wise.Sorry to break the news to all you Daddy's.

Thanks for setting things straight! Sounds like the bandits and express should have their own dedicated forum so the parents can pat each other on the back and share stories of greatness and victory all the while mocking any other team for believing they can compete on the same or close to the same level.

If the kids are 1) getting better and 2 having fun then the program is good. At this age, "talented" teams are usually just 2-3 kids with good genetics that control the game. Let's be real.

Were talking about the other 2 teams that are going to qualify besides Bandits and Express you idiot, pay attention to the conversation if you attention spans allows that.

Look at Laxachusettes Black. That team beats almost everyone. Bandits beat them, not sure about Express. But, they have an absolute stud middie and a sick goalie. The rest of the team is average.

Once again- nobody is concerned about hold-backs. It will be the same teams as usual that qualify.

Bunch of kids?? I believe they added 3 kids. Nice try.
Denver means nothing. It will not get your son into college, and to be honest, you're financially better off playing local. These Owners and Dad's are chasing a pipe dream.
That's exactly what was added. It was only 3.
Warriors chasing t-shirts today. Are they goinf to enter tournamnwts and play against teams that actually pose a challenge?

Don't worry about the Warriors. They have never ducked anyone. They are a good team & will be just fine.Worry about your own team.

Right. Because this is what this forum is all about! But thanks Warrior dad. If it makes Johnny feel better to beat up on b/c teams so be it.

Yes. They are required to play in that one every year.
Why so butt hurt... the warriors are the 2nd team for 91 in 2023. They have never ducked anyone or played the wrong bracket.

The team with the least amount of older kids who dont qualify. Who does that remove immediately? We all know the answers.

Then again.

Who cares about that tournament.
Chasing t-shirts! Daddy ball! Holdbacks! Too many on the roster! A tournaments! B teams! That’s all you old ladies talk about. What’s the goal? To have your son become a better lacrosse player? Or is it to be on the best lacrosse team in middle school? You want to know who’s going to play at a high level in high school and college? It’s really easy. It’s tougher to extrapolate how skilled a player will become in the next few years, especially since most of these boys haven’t hit puberty, so don’t bother looking at the play in the field for a few years. Look on the sidelines. See all of those pleasantly plump, 5’7” and under loudmouths? Those kids are doomed. I don’t care how good they are right now. They are currently enjoying their glory days and so are the parents.

Holdback Daddy
Nobody but the dads living thru their kids care about WSYL. Keep falling for the club nonsense. Can't fix stupid.
Empire Or Outlaws couldn't beat a B town team. Enough with them already.
Is Haugan the coach of the Express A team? Or Powers?

Outlaws need a new coach. Sinking ship for several years now. Empire is working on getting better.
What teams are playing in Blatant? Will it be Express A, S2S, Igloo, Warriors, True Blue, Outlaws Select, Express B? Who else? I don't think Legacy is doing it and I'm pretty sure that the SYAG team has finally gone away so they won't be there either. Are Bandits doing it?

Went to it last year (Pumpkin Shootout up in Purchase) very well run tournament, good competition, don't know which teams are going this year.
Leave it to Blatant to not have the schedule up yet, even though their website says they'll have it out one week prior to the tournament. Typical bs. I'm sure they'll be selling blatant swag at the entrance.

This is an over used complaint. Schedule almost always come out on Wednesday. Please don’t act as if your new to this. Why wouldn’t they sell merchandise at entrance. It’s what you would do, right? Isn’t that what happens at every tournament?

Don't false advertise. Then put it down on the site that you will have it out on Wednesday.

It’s just an example of how half-assed Blatant is. No one else is signing up, but they still can’t get there [lacrosse] together to put out the schedule. There will be no balls on the end lines either, which always wastes time every game. There won’t be enough refs, as usual. It’s a joke. And not putting out the schedule shows how little they give a crap.

Have you ever had to make a schedule for over 100 teams. No, you sit on your throne and complain. Preliminary schedules most likely went to the directors already. Then they ask for time changes and division changes. All gets tweaked again to accomodate the requests. Then you have teams signing up late with others pulling out because they probably didn’t pay. All has to be tweaked again. Seems like you have all the time in the workd to come on here and complain. Your weekend is probably wide open, so sit tight and wait. If you can’t, call your director and ask to be removed from the tournament. Pumpkin picking is going to be rocking this weekend.

Again, you don’t have to attend. Call your director and tell them you don’t want your money to go to this tournament. If they refuse don’t show up in protest. The website, if you read it, says it will be out the week before. That can be any day up to and including Friday. It does not say it will be out exactly one week before. What’s the point of putting balls on the end line when kids warming up or walking by just take them. Their will be plenty of refs, you will be on the sidelines calling every play, it’s an interactive tournament.

Wow you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Even the so called best ran tournaments post the schedule on the Wed before. What happens when the post early and make changes they get accused of making adjustments to favor one team or another. Maybe they had a issue and had to wait a little to post the schedule. Why don't you call big man here is the contact number Call Us (631) 629-4988 and tell them how you feel. When did so many grown men learn to behave like children. What is it cool just to rant for no reason now?

I guess your not a fan of pumpkin picking. What do you have against pumpkins. Pumpkins are just as good as apples. But on a side note, they are going downhill fast you say, but yet you are begging for a schedule for the tournament you’re attending that they are running. Stupidity also doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Many of the boys play football and/or soccer in the fall, as well. They need to commit to one of the teams. I think, in order to put the best product on the field, they should have the schedules out as early as possible. This would allow their other teams to adjust their schedules accordingly.

This tournament should be pretty good its run by Dynamic Sports which owns 90 + 1, fighting ducks, and empire.
Everybody knows everything. Why don't you make the schedule loser. These guys have a lot of details to work out. Get a life, your already crying and it started a few days ago. Stop living thru your kid. I'm sure he could care less when schedule comes out tough guy.

That was a pretty amazing post. You managed to use almost every one of the overused cliches that are used on this board. If you threw in some “holdback” references you would have aced it. Oh, and by the way, you’re a little late to the party. The schedule came out about 2 hours ago. Go get yourself a chicken panel and settle down, you damn guindaloon.

Some good looking games this weekend. Good selection of teams. Weather looks nice. Here's to the kids having a good time and injury free.

Building Blocks Lacrosse. I think they’re out of the Philly area. I don’t think I’ve seen them play field lax, just box. They were a decent team though.

Dynamic Sports is a marketing and operations company. They partner with these companies to help them organize and achieve goals they want by marketing for them and handling some of their operations. i don't think they actually own clubs or the tournaments. pumpkin shootout is run by my lacrosse tournaments.

BBL is out of North Jersey. I think BBL Black is their top team. So my guess they are not that great, NJ teams have a hard time fielding full teams in the fall. To many hockey kids.

Better off staying on LI at Octoberfest


Went to it last year (Pumpkin Shootout up in Purchase) very well run tournament, good competition, don't know which teams are going this year.


This tournament should be pretty good its run by Dynamic Sports which owns 90 + 1, fighting ducks, and empire.


Dynamic Sports is a marketing and operations company. They partner with these companies to help them organize and achieve goals they want by marketing for them and handling some of their operations. i don't think they actually own clubs or the tournaments. pumpkin shootout is run by my lacrosse tournaments.


91 Directors own Dynamic and mylacrossetournamenrs.

So what? We're still better than Blatant and Outlaws.
Why did the outlaws make an A and B bracket, but then made it possible for both to make the same playoff bracket. Why wouldn't they even out the brackets, since they made it possible for both brackets too compete in the same playoffs. Instead of having an A and B, have evened out brackets.

They do have some kind of affiliation with the teams mentioned above.

You're asking why would a org make the match up in a tournament advantages to them? Not being a smart [lacrosse] but they are trying to make sure they get to the playoffs.

They call themselves an "A" team so they should play Igloo, TB, S2S, etc. Otherwise, they should call themselves a "B" team.

They are playing a express north team that went a bad 0-3 at Halloween Havoc and Igloo B team. The only real challenge right now are the warriors, but that is why you play the game so one of those teams may surprise them.

The B bracket is playing in the morning and the A in the afternoon. How can the two outlaw teams make it to the same playoff bracket when they are playing at two different times. Did you read it?

For Outlaws, or anyone, to win that tournament, they will need to beat Warriors, TB/S2S and Igloo. That’s a tall or for any club.

You are correct but look at the match ups. Select plays the warriors and if they don't loose by too many goals they can end up in 2nd place going into the playoffs.

Why do you care? It is not unusual for the "home" team to be given some advantage to making the playoffs. All the club sponsored tournaments do it. Either way, the Outlaws have to advance. If the team does then it will face the teams in the other bracket.

True, but that’s to be expected. Have you ever seen the Bandits schedules? Total joke. The Warriors get forced to play the tougher teams while Bandits play their 3rd string and save their top players for the playoffs. Every tournament is the same. You still have to beat the teams to win. No one gives a crap about playoffs. It’s about who did you best to get there.

Ok. Thanks for pointing that out. Not sure who the “we are” you refer too. But I guess we are happy that you think so

Dynamic Sports manages the admistrative aspects of the member clubs. It allows the clubs to get better deals on gear and such. They probably also get a discount on the mylacrossetournamnets tournaments. The clubs are owned by the club directors or owner whatever, but not by dynamic sports. Separate entity. This info was gotten from the head director of one of the member organization.

Dynamic Sports Management owners/founders are Sean Chaimberland and George Breres. They are also 2 of the directors of Team 91. They are also the directors of Mylacrossetournamnets. Separate companies owned and ran by the same people. Call it what you want.

I

I kind of agree about the Bandits and LI tournaments playing no one in the first round with that said they can play and compete with anyone and win 95% of there games. Warriors are not that good and after they breeze through there bracket they will lose to either S2S, Igloo or TB they can't compete with them. S2S and TB should be a competitive game and Igloo should win it but you never know thats why you play the games, good luck to all….

Yes but they bring their teams to these tournaments that they run, making them competitive tournaments.

I think the playoffs will be Igloo vs Outlaws and Warriors vs S2S. Most likely Igloo vs S2S in the final with Igloo taking the win. I think TB is a good team, but I’m not sold on them yet. They had one significant win all last season against the Warriors, but lost to Empire the same day and then got destroyed by BL and Rising Sons at NXT. They really haven’t played too many teams yet. Scrimmages in fall mean nothing. Tournaments in fall mean just a little more. I think the top three are still Express, Bandits and Igloo, in that order. Then there’s a drop off.

No, you must be.
I agree Igloo should win it but Warriors can not beat S2S TB or Igloo. Outlaws Select have no shot in beating any of the 4 mentioned.

True, but that’s to be expected. Have you ever seen the Bandits schedules? Total joke. The Warriors get forced to play the tougher teams while Bandits play their 3rd string and save their top players for the playoffs. Every tournament is the same. You still have to beat the teams to win. No one gives a crap about playoffs. It’s about who did you best to get there.
I

I kind

Do whats your predictions fir the B bracket?


I would think bbl and outlaws gold maybe? Don't know if s2s has played a game yet. Force, white, hitmen basically even.


S2S played TB A and lost 8-2. Will be interesting to see how they do.


Score was 6-3
Who won the Blatant Tourney ?

Igloo by a bunch.
Well, do we still think True Blue is a AA team?
My favorite thing about today? Hopefully TB will STFU.
Looks like Igloo A is legit. S2S showed that they are contenders. Warriors still top 3. But the real question is how Igloo would do against Express A or the Bandits.. but right now they are the class of the A division...

I totally agree, and the teams which dropped off the most are Outlaws and TB.

That’s it. As I have said all fall. Bandits, Express A and Igloo A are a class ahead of everyone else. Everyone wants their kid on an A team, so we will call S2S, Warriors A teams and the top 3 AA. Take out the top 3 and we have a very competitive A bracket at most local tournaments. Like it should be..
Igloo has met all of the Challenges this fall. Warriors are definitively a step behind. S2S could be in the discussion if not for the meltdown yesterday. Questions remain.
The 3rd Express team I think White (?) is just bad. Shocking they are that bad with so many kids on the sideline. BBL team and S2S looked good
Note to The Blatant Organizers. Your refs. were consistently terrible. I had 2 kids playing yesterday, and every ref. In every game made horrible calls. Luckily it was bad calls on both sides, but their bad calls definitely affected the outcome of several games.

Meltdown? Was that after Igloo gave S2S a shellacking in the championship? Gotta love a good Monday morning water cooler story.

BBL had about 5 men on their team who did all the running and shooting. Not many subs on the sideline to make parity with the other clubs they faced.

S2S looks legit for a club that's brand new. I don't think they had any games as team before yesterday. There was a solid core that I saw.
Igloo, S2S, then Warriors then a big drop off to everyone else.

S2S lost to Igloo 4-3 in pool play, then Unfortunately lost three players including their primary face off specialist to other activities by the Championship Game. Someone else posted a comment about the referees, I have to agree, especially in this Championship game, one ref was bad and the other clueless, making some really bad calls and no-calls on both teams. Tournament organizer Mike Brennan was there, and apologized to both coaching staffs.

Is this a TB parent or ?? - what's with all the excuses, you lost in pool play then you LOST 10- 1 in the finals. All the teams played in the same weather on the same fields and yes with the same crappy refs.

Not really. It is the third team in the age group. Their B team is a legit B or A- team while their A team is a AA team until they prove otherwise. These are kids whose family can afford the tuition that want to say they play for the Express.

Classy E.M.

All kids did a great job in the south bracket. But the Outlaws organization must consider making a coaching change to their B level team. I watched and heard him on Sunday, it's the same old stuff. Feel bad for the kids and parents.

Nobody cares about Outlaws. Their owner ruined the club many years ago. They're a dinosaur now. Extinct.

That Gold coach should replace the Select coach, and that is an honest fair assessment.

The BBl team had to have kids that were older on it. Those kids were huge! Not sure they could have played in the North group but didn't belong in the South. The 3rd express team had no chance. Can't be fun for those kids. I felt bad for their goalie. Thats a big nut to pay to get slaughtered every tournament. S2S was impressive for their first time out as a team. Even with a kid barfing in the field they won. They will be a contender in the spring. The Hitmen had the easiest schedule of the day. Would have liked to see them play S2S.

Hitmen should reach out to S2S to get a game scheduled. More of this should go on.

What does it matter what team my kid is on? We played BBL and their giant kids. I didn't see the kid Barf on the field but was told by another parent. My kid has friends on other teams. I talk to parents while I am at a tourney. I don't think anything I said was out of line. If you have played against the Express White team in the last few years you woukd know they struggle big time. Losing 11 or 10 to 0 isn't fun for anyone. S2S is intriguing because they had such success with their first team. This was the first showing for them. I would think many eould be curious how they did. S2S and hitmen woukd have been the most competitive game played if it happened.

Daddy ball is when a coach has a son on the team playing. While you were listening intently to other conversation on sidelines, did you notice the team they lost to outscored teams 31-4 in three games. They should have been in other division. Guess there were no quiet whispers you over heard concerning that. “Heard over saying”, LOL what’s next “you don’t have skin in the game” or my favorite “I have a friend who is on that team”. You’re a funny guy. Don you feel better now or are you “taking it one day at a time”.

Okay Skippie, how about the other two games? Excuses, excuses. Talk to your organization, they assembled the brackets. Didn't have to listen intently, I should of said, some Outlaw parents were over heard saying it's the same old thing with their coach. Feel better now? Be mad at yourself and no one else. LOL

Ok, so know your listening to conversations between coaches and parents on other teams in a middle of a tournament, then run on here to share what was said. Didn’t know you had such deep concern about Outlaws. Weird that one would do that, no? You also heard that conversation when they were down 7-0 right? Like, did the coach call a timeout and have a mid-game meeting with the parents and you ran by whistling in background to eavesdrop. Which lie are we going with? Not mad bro, just pointing out you’re full of it. But I think we’re getting somewhere, you have a weird obsession with the outlaws and worrying about them. Mad your kid didn’t make Select team and put on Gold so you left for another clubs B team maybe?

LOL - the poster is not saying the Outlaws parents were saying that TO THE COACH - he's saying there were saying, "it's the same old thing <with their coach>"! IE, they were saying whatever wasn't working with coach before is still not working! LOL - nice little tirade you just went off due to a misinterpretation - what a maroon! And no, I am not an Outlaws parent, nor was I there, nor did I hear about any of this - just reading this board and amazed at your post after reading the string.

Good luck to all the boys playing this weekend
Anyone wondering how it is possible the Boys 2023 thread was not updated for almost 2 days especially ahead of a tournament weekend?

Interested to see what happens with S2S this weekend. With their faceoff guy they tied Igloo twice. Without their faceoff guy they were blown out twice. They beat the Express HBs the past 2 years in the fall but lost 3 times in the spring. Last year was tough to gauge because they played all except one of their tournaments without their faceoff guy. I am trying to figure out if they belong in the top teams conversation - are they an AA team? They play in the Channyfest on Saturday against the HBs. Although I heard the coaches embarrassed themselves last weekend at Blatant (again).
Is it Empire green or white playing this weekend. Weird no color attached to the team. Thanks

They're definitely AA in the excuse ranking! They play fall games to win and others are playing to evaluate new players.

Seriously? Did your sons’ coach tell you that after losing? These are tournaments, not scrimmages. Everyone is playing to win. You can compete and evaluate at the same time. Most of these top teams only added 4-5 new players, it’s not as if they turned over the entire roster. Express is playing to win this weekend that’s for sure.

S2S lost to Igloo by one goal in the pool game last week, with their primary face off player, they lost 9-1 in the Championship game without their primary face off player, and four other players that left for other activities. The week prior the two teams tied after playing a scrimmage game in Oyster Bay. As far as any coaches Embarrassing themselves, any coach on both teams had every right to lose their SH$%#!, the referees were beyond horrible. Hard to believe these two idiots were the referees for the final game of the tournament. Ridiculous call, and no-calls were committed to both teams!

I am constantly amazed about the amount of times, people such as this poster "are trying to figure out if one team belongs in a discussion, or is a AA or a A, or a B team. Please people, get a life. Spend your time on something that actually matters, raise money for a charity, volunteer your time for a good cause, but please get a grip, none of this is really very important. Of all threads on this website, this one is the most active, and dysfunctional, and frankly an Embarrassment!!! I am embarrassed that I have a son that plays in this age bracket, and glad at the same time, that this will all soon be behind us, when he moves onto high school and college.

The current state of Youth Lacrosse is a sad one, not because of the kids, because of the dysfunctional parents that are trying to live vicariously through the children. Stop blaming the People that run the Express, Outlaws, 91, S2S, Igloo, True Blue, or any of the others, they are business people. As long as parents are willing to spend thousands of dollars chasing a dream with a low percentage of success you can't blame them for cashing the checks. All I know is players like the Thompsons, the Powells, the Gaits, all came up playing youth lacrosse in a less formal town setting, and they all did just fine.

End of Rant...

That "success" for some (most?) is only measured by virtue of a player moving on to play in college is the saddest indictment for those that hold such views.. .

Invalid argument. Travel lacrosse was not as prominent when they we’re playing. Now kids are working year round. To go a step further, the Thomson brothers had an advantage because they played fiel and box lacrosse, while most of their US counterparts played only field.Pttvbx

What was the score in the final?
5-3 S2S
All games were well played. Even teams that lost played well and whether you were 3-0 (S2S) or 0-3 (Outlaws) there was mutual respect for one another after all the games. Except for one game between Express and Empire, no game appeared to be a blowout. Sometimes the match ups don't work and the Empire team just lost but not because they are not a good team. They just didn't have it that day against Express. It was a good day for the 2023 lacrosse world.
s2s attack looked great this weekend
Anyone play 2way ever? They were rather good and big. Were told by an upstate guy that they are a select holdback team from upstate. Either way, not a fun game to watch. Otherwise a good Saturday for lacrosse.

Yes we know them. Lots of holdbacks, and they do the PG plan as well.

2Way was a solid B team (could beat most teams but get destroyed by the LI AA teams in playoffs) from Westchester. But they supposedly picked up a handful of players who left other programs. The scores from the Pumpkin Shootout were silly- comp was weak. Who were those teams? They cater to the Greenwich area, so holdbacks have to be a thing. Eclipse, PT, Express North, 2Way ... only way to know if on-age is if they enter WYSL.
Wait..... Which Outlaws team went 0-3? Gold? Isn't the SELECT team going to Colorado?

Let it go. You keep bringing up the same crap. Nobody from the Outlaws 2023 Select team comes on this site and ever claims to be better or worse than another team. They don't make claims they will be going to Denver and they don't try to belittle other clubs. They are trying to get better and this weekend was a good step in that direction. They went 0-3 but all games were hard fought and each of the opposing coaches would back that up.

Great step forward. New coaching and management needed... quick.
Is Express using kids from the grade above like they are in every other grade?? Seems to be how they are operating this year.

2022 playing on 2023
2023 playing on 2024
2024 playing on 2025

What exactly do you mean? This is an empty statement not backed by anything.
http://www.insidelacrosse.com/artic...uth-lacrosse-il-13u-world-rankings/50682
Inside lacrosse just released U13 world rankings. Anyone surprised Sweetlax is on there when they don't have a World Series team yet. They going off of prior 2023 teams?

This year is different. They just threw names at a wall and whatever year you landed on was the team you were assaigned to.Hope that helps. Any other stupid questions don'y hesitate to ask.

Interesting, #2 was knocked off by an unranked team on Saturday at their own tournament, as usual pre-season rankings don't mean SH*%! Same can be said for the WSYL, major money grab, that means nothing a year after families spend thousands of dollars to fly out to Denver to pound their chests!

Someone is angry....We all know the rankings are BS....If they were legit S2S would be on that list. It was a good game and congrats to S2S!... I would imagine that your son doesn't play for either team and probably wont be going to Denver...No need to criticize others. The teams that won the WSYL the last three years have pretty much proven to be the best at their grade level and had to get by some very good talent in order to win.... Enjoy the fall and try and let go of some of that animosity. Its not healthy

If the WSYL means nothing, than what lacrosse tournament for 12 years does mean something?

Please don’t tell me you or anybody else Is that gullible to believe this ranking stuff. 75% of the teams have never And never will play against each other. Not to knock legacy, but 14, really? Please, what do these pollsters do, check scores every week. Get injury reports and advance scouting. If you believe in this ranking stuff call 911 immediately, you’ve just overdosed on the koolaid. this list almost reads how which club runs the most tournaments.

No it was the smartest because he said what a lot of people are thinking. 2/3 of the teams there can barley compete in the B bracket on LI, so this is just a tournament between the top 6 and 4 of them from LI and the eventual champion from our area. Why go out there? To make memories and chest bump?

I see now. You are the sort of person that must have the last word or, when someone tells a story, you have to top it. Have your day as you are either NOT a parent on one of the better teams or, if you are, your son is not getting significant playing time so inciting others against what was probably your former club is the only way you can get excitement through lacrosse.

If you follow the ridiculous rankings that came out they would drop
Out of top 25 because they lost twice to an unranked team. Just shows you what a joke that is.
I watched the Dukes/Igloo semi-final game - best game of the tourney. Igloo was impressive with their ball movement and adjusted their game plan from Saturday to Sunday. Both teams looked sharp for fall ball.
Two great games, played by two very good, well coached teams. I'm sure they are looking forward to playing each other again.

That's pretty funny......

My understanding is the Denver trip is a great event. It is really well organized and is a great experience. My son's team won't qualify but he really wants to go and I think it would be really fun.

The joke is your inability to read and comprehend 2 short paragraphs of disclaimers. Just might be the reason you had to hold your son back.

Smartest post I've read all year.



Guys you all know if you had the chance to attend WSYL with your son we would all take it in a second regardless of cost. I don't think anyone on here would pass up that opportunity or that experience.

We're paying the money to get away from you! Actually it's a bargain.


That's pretty funny......

My understanding is the Denver trip is a great event. It is really well organized and is a great experience. My son's team won't qualify but he really wants to go and I think it would be really fun.


This event is not going anywhere. In fact, it's going to grow. The people behind this know how to get things done. Plus they have corporate sponsors and TV. Is it a lot money, yes. But not a money grab. why? The feedback from people I know that went said it's incredible. I suspect that clubs will soon have separate tryouts for a WSYL U13 team, forget doing that is another revenue stream opportunity. Winning this or being on TV is very good for the club's respective brand. Plus that U based team can go play in the new NXT event as well.

Mam, I think you are one of those rich wives whose husband works his butt off while you go shopping at the Miracle Mile. You make me puke.

If you follow the ridiculous rankings that came out they would drop
Out of top 25 because they lost twice to an unranked team. Just shows you what a joke that is.


The joke is your inability to read and comprehend 2 short paragraphs of disclaimers. Just might be the reason you had to hold your son back.


Yes because the two short paragraphs tell us how the rankings are made up, who makes them and criteria used to rank . Maybe the reason why you got left back so many times. Thanks for your valued input.
It's not a great day to be an Outlaw. Shhhh keep the secret. Otherwise we'll hear from PB on here.[/quote]

Let it go. You keep bringing up the same crap. Nobody from the Outlaws 2023 Select team comes on this site and ever claims to be better or worse than another team. They don't make claims they will be going to Denver and they don't try to belittle other clubs. They are trying to get better and this weekend was a good step in that direction. They went 0-3 but all games were hard fought and each of the opposing coaches would back that up. [/quote]

Great step forward. New coaching and management needed... quick. [/quote]

Let it go? But it's OK for you to come on here and get your message across. We know; all your parents love the coach and organization, we only want to get better, we are reloaded, blah, blah, blah! Give me a break!
[/quote]

I see now. You are the sort of person that must have the last word or, when someone tells a story, you have to top it. Have your day as you are either NOT a parent on one of the better teams or, if you are, your son is not getting significant playing time so inciting others against what was probably your former club is the only way you can get excitement through lacrosse.[/quote]

You sound like that delusional Outlaw guy again. Can't BOTC get rid of you?[/quote]

Awesome comeback!

Right, just like the waste of time "Warrior Games" from last summer. $1,000 for some really nice gear and 2 days of beating up on other LI kids who didn't make their team but were asked to fill the other teams that couldn't get enough kids. Have fun lining up with all the other lemmings....

We did Warrior Games and had an awesome time. We’ll probably go to Denver as a family and have a great time there too. Guess it’s what you make of it. Try not to be such a negative nelly. Life’s too short, enjoy it!

The unranked team is a NATIONAL TEAM comprised of players that don't live 100 miles from home operations of the club. WSYL expressly forbid it. Like saying that the American League All Stars is a better team than the New [lacrosse] Mets.

We went to the WSYL last year. Phenomenal event. Kids had a blast turned it into family vacation. Colorado is beautiful in the summer, awesome swag etc. We have been to a ton of tournaments on the circuit and there is nothing that comes even close.

My experience is that the Naysers fall into the following categories:

1. From Maryland and since all the clubs are re-classed they don't qualify.
2. Have an agenda vested into a local tourney that competes with the WSYL such as Young Guns in Maryland same, weekend.
3. Are just a negative person and the world just sucks .

Someone is angry....We all know the rankings are BS....If they were legit S2S would be on that list. It was a good game and congrats to S2S!... I would imagine that your son doesn't play for either team and probably wont be going to Denver...No need to criticize others. The teams that won the WSYL the last three years have pretty much proven to be the best at their grade level and had to get by some very good talent in order to win.... Enjoy the fall and try and let go of some of that animosity. Its not healthy


No animosity, just saying these rankings don't mean anything. For the record, my son plays for S2S.

Please don't leave out my kid was held back and is to old to qualify with his team. So I will throw stones at great lacrosse concept -an age appropriate tournament.. the concept- play, compete have fun with boys your own age. Thank God some one is trying to get it right!!!

Very Valid post, and if you bring a family of four, the trip will cost you much more then $4,000. All to probably play teams that are base a few mile away on Long Island, stupidity at it's finest!

In S2S case, they have boys that are not age eligible, therefore are not entering a team. This ranking is for teams who are attending the WSYL.

I think he is referring to Dukes. Aside from the 100 mile gauge from home club being a factor, let's not forget, more than half on that 2023 team are NOT age appropriate either. At best, they are pick up team of hold backs that show up in a 2023 bracket at big name tourneys, wearing a jersey that says "national" and think it means something. They shouldnt even be in the same conversation as the other top clubs.

The only reason S2S is not on the list is because, up until this year, the club was comprised of one team. They will be at the qualifier, will be noticed and be on peoples radar for the future. No point is debating national, local, irrelevant, best, etc. The regional qualifiers will come soon enough and the four or six best teams on that weekend will be eligible to go to Denver.

By the way, it is an extremely expensive trip. I think Express is quoting an extra $8,500 if the player goes. I have heard from others it is at least $6,000 but, if you can afford it or think it is worth it, it is one of the greatest experiences for the player and the family. Even if you don't make the finals.

6k is what people spend on their son's travel team and clinics throughout the year, and it adds up to about 60 practices. I'll take that instead. I'd also rather go skiing in Colorado for a week with the family for that price.

Those are the registration costs?? What do these costs cover???

STS is aware that birth certificates need to be verified for qualifier right. That is why Igloo moved a player that is on STS. Too old. We know they have a few.
I am sure that all of the teams vying for Denver have a few hold backs on their regular roster. The makeup of their qualifier teams will be a little different than their regular teams, but most teams have built out their rosters to cover for their ineligible players. Some teams will be more affected than others. I am just glad that teams are finally being encouraged to roster on age players.

I think S2S is on the rise. They can compete with anyone. The issue is going to be with leadership. DK's track record is not great and the guy running it blew up Manhasset 32 in this grade then moved out of Manhasset. The 2 act like baffoons on the sideline. Let's hope they get their act together. It would be nice if a club could be run the right way

I think they might only care about their original team. Don't know how much time they spend with the other teams. I heard their original team had 3 Fall tournaments. How many did all the other teams have? That should be a good indication as to where their focus is.

So are the Crabs, Dukes, laxachusetts, mustangs, and West coast starts. They just all have to leave their holdbacks at home.

Other teams had 2.tourneys. All teams have been going twice a week, one clinic type, one team practice since September. We know our schedule through the spring. Very organized, well run from everything I've seen so far. Mixed results from the tourneys I think but they were everyone's first games together. So far I've liked what I've seen.

Interesting, #2 was knocked off by an unranked team on Saturday at their own tournament, as usual pre-season rankings don't mean SH*%! Same can be said for the WSYL, major money grab, that means nothing a year after families spend thousands of dollars to fly out to Denver to pound their chests!




The unranked team is a NATIONAL TEAM comprised of players that don't live 100 miles from home operations of the club. WSYL expressly forbid it. Like saying that the American League All Stars is a better team than the New [lacrosse] Mets.

We went to the WSYL last year. Phenomenal event. Kids had a blast turned it into family vacation. Colorado is beautiful in the summer, awesome swag etc. We have been to a ton of tournaments on the circuit and there is nothing that comes even close.

My experience is that the Naysers fall into the following categories:

1. From Maryland and since all the clubs are re-classed they don't qualify.
2. Have an agenda vested into a local tourney that competes with the WSYL such as Young Guns in Maryland same, weekend.
3. Are just a negative person and the world just sucks .


Shore 2 Shore is a national team? Since when?

The only reason S2S is not on the list is because, up until this year, the club was comprised of one team. They will be at the qualifier, will be noticed and be on peoples radar for the future. No point is debating national, local, irrelevant, best, etc. The regional qualifiers will come soon enough and the four or six best teams on that weekend will be eligible to go to Denver.

By the way, it is an extremely expensive trip. I think Express is quoting an extra $8,500 if the player goes. I have heard from others it is at least $6,000 but, if you can afford it or think it is worth it, it is one of the greatest experiences for the player and the family. Even if you don't make the finals.


Let's get real. That's ridiculous. I don't care how much swag or whatever experience they get. If it's really that much come back to reality. I'm sure parents run the spectrum from broke to rich but this is insane. Call me cheap or a [lacrosse] or Debbie downer all you want.

It was asked before, but what do these prices include? Is it the quote for the year’s tuition PLUS the cost of Denver? Or just the cost of registration for Denver?

You couldn't be more wrong with this statement. S2S has been practicing often & all their teams from 2023-2027 are getting major focus. They have clinics every week then typically 2 practices per week. 2 tourneys so far & winter is scheduled to be pretty busy as well. Great organization from top to bottom.

I think S2S is on the rise. They can compete with anyone. The issue is going to be with leadership. DK's track record is not great and the guy running it blew up Manhasset 32 in this grade then moved out of Manhasset. The 2 act like baffoons on the sideline. Let's hope they get their act together. It would be nice if a club could be run the right way
[/quote]

You either have no clue or you are trying to spread misinformation because everyone who had any skin in that knows full well that the Igloo coach broke up Manhasset 32.

The club is run great and the coaches are great people who are well liked both within and without the organization. Maybe not liked by you but that’s your problem, not theirs. They had a bad moment in the Blatant Championship game but nothing worse than what I’ve seen first hand from pretty much every coach across all of the clubs and at several age groups. At that same tournament the 2022 Igloo and Express teams got into a full out brawl, including parents. That was buffoonery. Yelling at a ref out of frustration happens every now and again. If your son’s coaches go a full season without having a choice word or two to the refs your son’s team is either winning every game or the coaches don’t care enough.
The clueless were the ones who fell for that bs then got cut after helping them start the S2S program.

And that's other thing about having multiple age ineligible players. [/quote]

STS is eligible for Denver.[/quote]

So are the Crabs, Dukes, laxachusetts, mustangs, and West coast starts. They just all have to leave their holdbacks at home. [/quote]



In that case STS won't have enough players to fill the roster ...... unless they pull from their B team

It looks like he's trying to say the cut a few players that helped build the program. I think that's how these programs work but i guess the person feels like his son was part of the original team and got crapped on.

It is no different than any other team. They swap out less strong players for stronger ones. That's why it is a tryout.

I know a lot of teams have older players but i saw S2S and express play the other day and none of those kids are big at all. There must be something in the water out here. The MD and Boston hold backs look like grown men
Because those are 2 years older. Start Kindergarten a year later and held back a year

Ok, but it’s an age requirement, not a height requirement. Just because you’re a year older doesn’t always mean your bigger.

There are absolutely no holdbacks. Sorry if you are ineligible, but that's your problem.

My son did this 2 summers ago and I agree, it was a great experience. He loved representing his state, and playing with new kids. We couldn't do it last summer due to our vacation, but would recommend it!

I don't actually. I am just amazed that people buy the B.S. they are fed. Pick a camp because your kid wants to go. Snwd them with no delusion except that it is a camp and it should be fun. At 12/13 He isn't being scouted. You are a payday for their organization.
Warrior is another major scam and rigged for 91 and Express

Disagree on that one. You get a lot for your money with Warrior Games and it was a great experience. Top players play for the top teams. Who do you think they’re gonna take for an all-star type team to represent LI?

Come on you have to be kidding me. Were you at the tryouts to see how the teams were picked for the scrimmage. All Bandits, HB and some warriors on one team and everyone else.

Oh, ok Mr "independent evaluator" of 91 or Express. I know plenty of kids better than yours and they're not on your two clubs. That's why your reputation sucks! Are you going to do the famous line up again this year where you face all the kids in the opposite direction and look at their helmets? Total scam. Don't waste your money.

The 2023 Warrior Try-Outs last year were a JOKE!!! After they ran the boys through drills to supposedly get an idea of their skill levels, "so they could divide them into two equivalent teams", two teams were assembled: One made up of 91 Bandits and Express Haugen and the other everyone else. The team of gypsies dominated play over the 91/Express team, but the roster when it came out was comprised of 90% 91/Express players? They were the only team to lose at the Warrior Games by the way.

$185 fee to find out that the team was basically decided before they even walked on the field. Fool me once shame on them, fool me twice shame on me! If your son is not on one of those two teams, save your money and get your son some individualized training or pay for a tutor for their weakest subject, it will be much better spent. Anything that J.S. has a hand in, will never be objective. There were many better players at the try-outs that day that were not offered a roster spot, hopefully they will all stay home this year.

It was worth the money just to listen to Kevin Warne.. dude was great. If you can afford it, why not all the kids had fun.

Best kid at the 22/23 was the 22 kid from Koopers. Whoever posted the 6' 160lbs your wrong. Every coach knew that kid's name and went out of their way to speak to him.

Your right, that was the best! "We are reviewing a load of film submitted by sixth graders" How many Sixth Graders have film to submit? How did he say that with a straight face?
Better competition at Brine and the 23 LI team won. Compare that to the daddy-picked 23 Warrior team that lost.

$185 fee to find out that the team was basically decided before they even walked on the field. Fool me once shame on them, fool me twice shame on me! If your son is not on one of those two teams, save your money and get your son some individualized training or pay for a tutor for their weakest subject, it will be much better spent.

The best was when the director said kids that couldn't be at the tryouts sent highlight videos. Really!!!


Your right, that was the best! "We are reviewing a load of film submitted by sixth graders" How many Sixth Graders have film to submit? How did he say that with a straight face?


Couple of things. No, no one sent once video and made the team. They said that, but everyone’s on the team was at tryouts.Yes, there were too many Bandits on that team. The little righty attack, the little lefty attack, the twin that doesn’t face-off and one of the defenders. With that being said, there was no one there that was substantially better that would have made a difference on the team. All of them were in 2nd group that didn’t come in until the second quarter. And they were not happy about it. But, the overall experience was very positive. My son plays mid and he was on and off the field as much as anyone else. Warrior did an amazing job of creating bonds between kids from different teams and even different states. Many people rip it saying it was a joke, it wasn’t. They say the tryouts were fixed, they weren’t. With very few exceptions, the best kids at that tryout made the team. Quick question about Brine for anyone that was there; was it a straight 2023 team or was it a 2023/2024 or 2023/2022? I’m considering it for my guy this year since Warrior was so good.

Ha ha. You've got to be kidding me. Your statement above basically means that there are no good players on any other teams on LI. The goalie from legacy was the best out there that day and he didn't make it. He was one of 3 players that was on the hand picked team at tryouts that did not play for express or 90 + 1.

That comment proves my point. Why take his parents money. Tell them he's too small and you won't pick him even if the stands on his head. Let them choose to waste the $185

TB the only team that keeps getting spanked and continues to stay in the top 5.
Warrior tryouts & games were a JOKE!!! Not worth the money or the time. The other "regions" couldn't even field full rosters & took Long Island kids. C'mon...

True Blue has lost a few games but is definitely in the top of the second tier of teams. 3Village is a very food team as well

Bulldog Bash this weekend. Bandits and Warriors will be there. Will see if 2Way has gotten any better.

LI would have lost at Brine too if those boys from Mid-Atlantic were there. Mid-Atlantic was the better team. Not even close. They had the best player at every level with the exception of goalie.
I have no problem with Wolfpack playing up, but how are they playing up at the Mustang Classic AND Yale Bulldog Classic on the same day? They must be an amazing team!

This is honestly NOT a dig, but a legitimate question. When did they have "the good players"? Saw them play in the NXT Cup last summer and didn't see standout talent so I'm trying to decide if that team had the players you're speaking of or not.
To think adults are on here bashing kids,and teams so openly is really pathetic also extremely funny how for a few weeks people lost their guts when they actually had to provide an email address (loss of anonymity) let's keep this board productive and keep the high road. It's sports two teams play one team loses, some players better than others etc.

They get a bad rap because of some of the parents. They had two games end early because the refs could not deal with the crazy mom at October Fest. Let the kids play they played well that day.
Bad rap because your not an A team really, parents on empire are the worst and one of there dads went on the field during express game while his son was screaming and crying to get off the field, and it’s not just the dads, the moms are worse.

I think you better get your facts straight before calling out people. Don't judge a book by its cover (oh, that's right...you can't read!). The fiasco transpired secondary to the "all powerful Ref; who was horrible" bad mouthed the father after he calmly questioned a blatant "no call" on the field.,Yes maybe the going on the field was over the top.....but, if you didn't see or hear the whole scenario then you shouldn't be commenting.
empire parents are always the problem. Doesn't help that most of them are from the Syag team. Can you say Trash!!!

I thought the purpose of parents on the sideline is to root for your kid and their team, not to question refs about calls, that would be the coaches job

Bad "no call" ok, go on to the next play or better yet let the coach handle it. I agree, complete TRASH!

Just remember, parents bring their deep seeded internal issues with them to their kids lacrosse tournaments, then compound those issues with booze.

Your response alone supports; Empire parents=trash!
Officials are not allowed to engage parents on the sidelines, except to remove a spectator for inappropriate behavior. And when they do engage, its a distraction from the safety of the game. I don't care if you call yourself a "student of the sport" and think you know all of the rules, you cannot expect an official to engage spectators on the sideline. If you want to make the calls, go spend hours getting certified,going to mandatory clinics and training. It take a certain someone with thick skin to be an official. Leave it to the coaches to question calls. And if you cannot control yourself, go stand alone in a corner. Your embarrassing and distracting your son. FYI: I am not a youth lacrosse official, currently.
Props to all the kids that played in the ridiculously cold temps this morning.
So how bad did the bandits beat the Wolfpack at Yale?
The love for Empire is amazing.
EmpireA. Hahaha
Any Empire team is irrelevant. Green, white , blue, yellow mid tier b teams at best

Looks like they skipped the playoff. Same as the playoff at Mustang.
It was cold as [lacrosse] at the Mustang. Ducks beat up on lower year B competition. They really should not have played in the tournament. They won’t play A tournaments because they would get smoked, so they do the same to B teams. SMH.. And as I said earlier, hope you took the over with the Empire B team...
Ducks are terrible, Empire A worse. Don't get too excited, you beat empire other garbage team. Relax
Who lost to the Wolfpack 2024 yesterday?
Which express team was in DE? Yikes

The second team. The results were the same at blatant. Great kids but lots of better options to spend $3800. I wonder if they are still telling parents they plan to qualify for the world series.
U pay 3800 for a club team you need ur head examined.

They blew out 1 team. They ties and the score of the other game was 6-4. They didn't let the Bandits play the. Because they would have been destroyed. If that's destroying the competition in your eyes, so be it. Wolf pack parents are insane!

They blew out 1 team. They ties and the score of the other game was 6-4. They didn't let the Bandits play the. Because they would have been destroyed. If that's destroying the competition in your eyes, so be it. Wolf pack parents are insane!


why didn't the bandits play?

But... what is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing every year expecting different outcomes. I feel bad for my friends son still stuck on that team.

But Outlaws didn’t lose to Predators. They went 3-1. They beat the Predators in last game. I guess it’s insanity when you post fake reports over and over also.

Hey Dumba$$ - Stop feeling bad for others and worry about yourself. Outlaws lost to 2024 Wolfpack but won the rest of their games. In fact, they beat a team 6-1 that tied the Wolfpack 3-3. Mind your own business and worry about your own teams progress. The kids on the Outlaws will be just fine without your d-bag remarks.

Love how losing to (one of) the best legit 2024 team in country is supposed to be some epic failure. Outlaws handled a decent Preds team soundly and took care of business against other squads.

I don't understand why the Outlaw parents care what the trolls think.... you guys sound very defensive because you lost a game but seriously who cares! As long as you're getting good coaching let them talk....

The Outlaws have a "B" level 2023 team. Being the Organization provides professional coaching, are some of the "B" players given the opportunity to move up to the select team during tryouts?

Crickets because the question is nonsensical and there is nothing to answer. The program is fine and the team is happy. To borrow words from Mark Twain " The tales of the Outlaws death are greatly exaggerated".
Is it true the Outlaws and Empire are going to combine programs ?

The answer is usually no. It's not just the outlaws, most organizations do this. If you already have a captured paying customer why go out of your way to lease that customer. These teams are more focused on obtaining new customers.

This is a stupid answer. A team would be stupid to nit move talent up if they deserve it. The would risk losing that kid to a better organization. They have a better chance of finding a new B twam player.

Sounds so much better saying we LOST to one really good 2024 team and then 3 good teams. We know those teams you played against are good, but you never mention anything about the the level of play concerning your team? Then you step climb onto your soap box and speak for everyone's benefit on how someone else should communicate their opinion.

Your point is?
This is the most boring back-and-forth waste of time discussion. Ughhh. It is the equivalent of the Sopranos season when they spent several episodes on Carmela focusing on her estate planning issues. Snoozefest. Move on ...

The qualifier is on April 7-8. The top 4 from each will go to Denver. Our region includes teams from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New [lacrosse], Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Not sure which clubs will be going to qualifier, but I would expect Bandits, Express, Igloo, S2S, Warriors, Outlaws, Laxachusettes, Eclipse, Prime Time, 91 Tristate, maybe Sweetlax, maybe Express North, maybe True Blue.

Express, S2S, Igloo, and 91.

I'd be willing to bet that Laxachusetts has too many holdbacks to field a viable team. Keep in mind all of these teams will be different without their ineligible kids, even if it is just 1 or 2, some teams will be affected more than others. April elimination will be interesting.

If our region includes those areas how did (Igloo, 91, Express, Prime time, Legacy, Eclips, Tristate and South Jersey) Did they change the rules because this area sent 8 teams last year.
Don't forget Empire A.
New Jersey teams are in the Md Atlantic region for WSYL. However, for the NE region they did take 6 teams.
on a side note, what with the paging on the site always showing the next page before it has any entries? is it a "bug" or a way to generate ad revenue? pretty annoying....let the bashing begin lol

Sometimes two of them before you get to actual posts. And all of the sudden there seem to be intermittent CSS issues causing the posts to be all off to the right in a narrow column. . . .
So I guess we will see how bad the 2024 Wolfpack will beat up the A-Teams this Saturday...

We'll they did beat Outlaws Select and MB.
Madlax 2024 won't be there, so Taz has a chance to win some games.
I wouldn't be bragging beating the outlaws and MB. Living thru your 6th grader , what a loser you are.
Wolfpack parents are worse than Empire A parents if that's possible.Tell us again how great you are please.

They tied Eclipse. That’s not a good team. C level at best.
The big bad WP. Lol.
hey pack what happened ?no bandits to help you get to co championship this week?
Maybe Wolfpack should play 2025.
Who won 2023?
Wait.. are there 2023 parents on here talking about and bad mouthing a 2024 team? Haha what a joke. You’re supposed to beat a year younger team and your pounding your chests about it? I don’t see any of you fools playing up a year. But you should be proud of your boys

My guess it's the ultra obnoxious wp parents especially that brings out the worst in people
The competition tosay was a joke. Besides GC and BBL nobody was competing in the red division. The 91 team was beyond terrible. I can't believe Icon still exists at this age. The older teams are decent but this grade is terrible. If that was Recon A they have fallen from previous years. They were all over the place. Empire white.....what can you say. They need a C bracket. The Orange division wasn't much better. Express looked ok. The Wolf pack didnt look as strong as usual but they play up so you can't say much. I was surprised that Massapequa did so poorly. Did they have a lot of turn over from.last season?

Massapequa was a decent team. They were in over their heads at this tourney & played terrible. Can't win when you score 6 goals in 3 games.

Yes, yes. And if they would have played 2024 and crushed everyone you would have said they didn’t challenge themselves and should have played up. Go away sideline troll.

You guys are so funny, you all think Lacrosse is like a death pool. If you lose a game or don’t win a tournament you tell
People they shouldn’t exist. What are you going to do with your life in 6 years when all this is over?
You guys are funny. Take any of the top kids off the so called b/c teams and those are the kids that will be taking your kids slot. LOL. Don't think that that your coach care enough about your kid not to replace them in a split second. Love LI lacrosse.

GC should have been in the other bracket. 91 team lacked depth and teamwork, Icon and Recon showed what teamwork can do for average talent. GC and BBL had both talent and teamwork. Tristate was just as bad as 91, just got lucky playing Empire.. Empire is just a mess.

Is Wolf Pack a 2023 team or 2024 team playing in the 2023 bracket?


2024
The 2024 91 team was VERY good, especially considering they gave up a foot of height or more, and 70 lbs, to every one of their competitors. They lost a close game by 2 goals, tied another game and won one. What more can you ask of a 2024 team?? Truthfully, they embarrassed all of the older, far larger, competition.

Didn't the little 91 2024 team beat them 8 - 3?

I would concede that the Eclipse team wasn't the most talented team, but they are by no means a C team. Their offensive game plan was to use their 170 lb midi's to run over the wolfpack 70 lb midi's, which the ref's allowed. That fact made it a bit challenging at times for the 11 year old's, which were far more skilled. If not for an inadvertent whistle, that was another victory for the 6th graders.

GC should have been in the other bracket. 91 team lacked depth and teamwork, Icon and Recon showed what teamwork can do for average talent. GC and BBL had both talent and teamwork. Tristate was just as bad as 91, just got lucky playing Empire.. Empire is just a mess.



Thanks for the expert commentary, mommy. You are an [lacrosse]. Obviously, you've never played the sport, because you sound like a jacka$$. Go back to the field hockey site.

They tied Eclipse. That’s not a good team. C level at best.

Yes, yes. And if they would have played 2024 and crushed everyone you would have said they didn’t challenge themselves and should have played up. Go away sideline troll.



I would concede that the Eclipse team wasn't the most talented team, but they are by no means a C team. Their offensive game plan was to use their 170 lb midi's to run over the wolfpack 70 lb midi's, which the ref's allowed. That fact made it a bit challenging at times for the 11 year old's, which were far more skilled. If not for an inadvertent whistle, that was another victory for the 6th graders.





I totally agree. The size difference was enormous. It looked like little boys playing men. They lost one game, by 2 goals. The little kids looked great!

Why wouldn't the refs allow that? It is a physical game you know. Don't be mad the pack did not do good at all.
Massapequa is soooo bad. They are also mostly TB kids. Ever since they got destroyed they went undercover.

And what was the excuse for losing to Express North’s B team? Stay on grade level with your little kids.

Where are you getting the game results from? The youngest age group on TM is 2022.

I'm not a WP parent but that is the boldest 2024 team in the tri-state. Reality check, they are a 6th grade team playing 7th graders.
A lot of Sandusky’s in here.

I'm not sure I understand your statement. I think the general consensus is that they are a 6th grade team that should be playing against 6th graders. Just because the coaches chose to play in fall tournaments with historically weak 2024 competition, does not make it right. As a 7th grade team, there is no reason to play them. It's a no win situation. If they beat them, then it is expected because they're older; however, if they lose or even play a tight game, the 7th grade players (not parents, the kids themselves) feel incompetent. No one wants that. There are plenty of tournaments that they could choose. The coaches do it as an ego boost for themselves and then we have to hear excuses from all of the parents about how the kids were so big, their kids were being run over, etc...

There are divisions for a reason.

Lacrosse tournament "divisions" are a disaster - fall is even worse. Huge issue for the sport as you never know what you're going to get in most tourneys . . .
In response to the poster who didn't understand my position on WP playing up (BOTC only does 6 layers in a thread).

To be clear, WP is a bad-a$$ program. That is my position.

Fall tournaments and fall ball in general don't count for anything at the middle school level and only serves to identify what the team needs to work on during the off-season.

That WP kicked it up to 2023 tournaments to test their team is both bold and kind of hilarious.

Come Summer, I am certain they will be playing at their grade level and hopefully play and test my son's program.

yeah, go howl in Farmingdale.
I am certain that the AA teams in any grade level could beat the B/C teams in the grade level above; there is nothing extraordinary about WP.

Sorry guys. I'm sure you hate the little 2024 team beating up on your 2023 teams. Yeah, it's embarrassing I'm sure! But, Wolfpack has played up in tourneys, every year, since they started in 2nd grade, so this is NOTHING new. Since there are only a couple of 2024 teams that can compete with them, they are always looking for new worthy opponents. So don't expect your little nemesis to go anywhere, any time soon. They have beaten almost every 2023 team they have played. And the games they lose are like the Express game this weekend... a hard fought, ultra competitive, 2 goal loss. But more often than not, it's like last weekends performance at Yale, where they won the 2023 championship. So, you really think they are going back to 2024?? Yeah, our "little wolves" will be stalking your big boys for quite some time to come. Get use to losing. The 2024's did.

I’m curious as to which 2023 Team your son is on and how badly they lost to wolfpack.

Wolfpack plays in 2023 A division and plays who ever is in front of them, and most times, wins. Too bad your sons 2023 team can’t say the same.

They didn't be even beat B teams at Yale lol. And they didn't win the championship because they didn't play the bandits. They would've lost by 20!

Really?? Nothing extraordinary? Wolfpack is the premier 2024 team in the country. How’s YOUR sons 2023 team doing??

I know. Your son was on the Massapequa team this weekend right? You are probably still ashamed after the beating he got from our “nothing extraordinary” team of 11 year old 70 pounders. Can’t say I blame you. But be careful. I hear, jealousy can eat you alive.

I see the 2024 dads troll the 2023 thread. Wow. Nothing better to do?

Thanks for all the attention guys. There is no bigger compliment than jealous haters taking shots at the best of the best teams. Absolute confirmation of a teams supremacy. Taz and WP are the best of the 24’s and can beat most 23 A’s, twice their size. Keep the jealous hate coming gentlemen, It makes us proud!! Thank you!!

Fall tournaments and fall ball in general don't count for anything at the middle school level and only serves to identify what the team needs to work on during the off-season.


That WP kicked it up to 2023 tournaments to test their team is both bold and kind of hilarious.

Come Summer, I am certain they will be playing at their grade level and hopefully play and test my son's program.





I think you need to take your little wolves and go back to 2024.



Sorry guys. I'm sure you hate the little 2024 team beating up on your 2023 teams. Yeah, it's embarrassing I'm sure! But, Wolfpack has played up in tourneys, every year, since they started in 2nd grade, so this is NOTHING new. Since there are only a couple of 2024 teams that can compete with them, they are always looking for new worthy opponents. So don't expect your little nemesis to go anywhere, any time soon. They have beaten almost every 2023 team they have played. And the games they lose are like the Express game this weekend... a hard fought, ultra competitive, 2 goal loss. But more often than not, it's like last weekends performance at Yale, where they won the 2023 championship. So, you really think they are going back to 2024?? Yeah, our "little wolves" will be stalking your big boys for quite some time to come. Get use to losing. The 2024's did.







So much for the "pretend you've been there" comments a month or so ago - everyone knew it was [lacrosse] when that was posted. I have no skin in the game for 2024 and just from reading BOTC, I can't stand WP or Taz based upon then parent comments alone. Way to make a "name" for yourself.


Nobody likes wp or Taz parents, they'd have you believe it's because of jealousy and not their downright arrogance


You poke the dog, you’re going to get bitten. This dog BITES.

One thing is for sure, they demolished your sons team, isn’t that right jealous daddy? You really can’t get over it, can you? Don’t feel so bad, they beat most 2023 teams, not just your sons sorry a$$ Team. Thanks for keeping the talk up about WP though. It’s the sincerest form of flattery. The boys are use to it, after 5 years, but they still appreciate being the “talk of the town”. Keep it coming!!
Word on the street is that both Taz and WP are reclassifying to the 2023 age group, in hopes of finding some competition. If it’s true, doubt they will find it there.

Once again mistaking negativity for jealousy, talk of town is positive only in your eyes but you can keep up the front, it serves your purpose well. Humility is an obvious trait not shared by wp and Taz parents, beating teams a grade above is not some heroic feat as u would like us to believe especially in the world of lax holdbacks, two grades above maybe you have something. No matter what your kids success is on the field having you as a parent, they have already lost. Keep your self indulging we love the exposure comments coming since it's the only thing you and the other 20 or so parents have going for yourselves and it makes you feel important...
If the WP ever plays a true '23A tournament they will certainly have our respect for the effort. When they get throttled, the coaches will only have their parents to blame. Qualifier in April, all are welcome!

Hey d-bag Daddy. Lets get something straight. This all started by you and other jealous daddy’s who felt threatened by a 2024 Team playing up against your older boys. I realize It doesn’t look good when your team loses to these little boys. So to make yourselves feel better about yourselves, you decide to attack our boys. A classic response to success, by losers. Let me tell you something insecure 2023 loser daddys. You poke this dog, you WILL get bitten. Badly.

Ok clown. What are you going to say next? You’re giving out tickets to your gun show? You came on here to brag and kick lacrosse and you’re all out of bragging? Seriously bud, give it a rest. You sound like you are in a Will Ferrel movie.

That's insulting to a Will Ferrell movie!

Ans no one attacked your boys - they're attacking their [lacrosse] parents... like YOU! And, again, I've no skin in the game - my son has never played either team, so I couldn't give two [lacrosse] about them. But for you vicarious living, no personal accomplishment parents, I wouldn't probably even give either team a thought. Go away... please!

Lol!!! That’s so awesome! Jealous??? Your team is a very good group that plays in a weak as [lacrosse] age group. There are only 4 good 2024 teams between LI and Md! 2023 is a powerhouse age group! We don’t need to play up to find competition... it’s all here. 5 very strong teams at least, and even the next tier provides excellent competition for them. Heck, even 3rd their teams are very skilled, as your little tiny boys found out last weekend. If you want to play up, stick to the weak New Hampshire, Upstate, And Connecticut town Team spring you chumps played at Yale. There’s not a single LI 2023 team that that your teeny tiny Wolf Pups could challenge. Saying you’re the best 2024 team is like bragging about being the tallest [lacrosse]! Lol!
2024 WP and TAZ the Worst ever infinity.

Move on.
Is there any WP Fall Tourney video footage out there?

It would be great to see them beating up the 2023 teams!

We destroyed your so-called "A" team Outlaws. Bring on your other team. We might have a more difficult time with them.

Is this whole thread a joke? This seems like a parody of the absolute worst lacrosse parents imaginable.

Thanks for the laughs.
2023 parent here. You parents have been bashing this 2024 team since they played up this weekend. Grow up. The team is just looking for some competition. Sounds like they did a pretty good job. You sound really insecure. Kinda pathetic.

Perfect example of not being able to please everyone, blow people out and you have the "play up and challenge yourself" crowd, play up and you get these sorry losers.

I'd be too embarrassed to say anything if my son's team lost to a younger team. I'd keep quiet and hope it all went away.
Outlaws were missing 3 of their best players that day. You won the big game. Stop the silliness.

Here come the sorry excuses... two weeks later. Blah, blah, blah. What took you so long??

Coincidentally, WP was missing their best defenseman that day, and two other top players. Guess we are even then, huh??

Loser!

Outlaws lost 6 - 2. Not competitive. WP missing top players also.

3D Tri-State 2023 lost 13 - 4. Embarrassing.

Can't say I'd find it embarrassing.... every day and every team is different not to mention my self worth is not tied to lacrosse.

Wow wow wow, once again still talking about our awesome boys and their dominating teams!! Being on one of the best teams in the nation brings with it lots of attention and jealousy as you can see. Now I know how the new England Patriots must feel . One day in the not so distant future when my kid is playing at a D1 ivy league college, maybe I'll leave some tickets at the gate for you to watch him play. But in the meantime keep up the conversation, I look forward to reading all your constructive commentary.

Sorry but unless your rabil is on bandits igloo express or s2s you have nothing to say about 2023. Massive drop off as evidenced by these results. My suggestion would be to get him more training if you can afford it.

Sorry but unless your rabil is on bandits igloo express or s2s you have nothing to say about 2023. Massive drop off as evidenced by these results. My suggestion would be to get him more training if you can afford it. [/quote]













Finally, a rational though by a 2023 parent. First one on this thread. If your son is not on one of these four teams, you need to be nervous about playing 2024 Wolfpack. The result will very likely be embarrassing.
If those are the only teams, why did WP refuse to play the Warriors in last year's Halloween Havoc?
Seems like a pattern: they only like to brag about beating '23 B and town teams b/c they know they'd get crushed against better '23 teams.

Once again mistaking negativity for jealousy, talk of town is positive only in your eyes but you can keep up the front, it serves your purpose well. Humility is an obvious trait not shared by wp and Taz parents, beating teams a grade above is not some heroic feat as u would like us to believe especially in the world of lax holdbacks, two grades above maybe you have something. No matter what your kids success is on the field having you as a parent, they have already lost. Keep your self indulging we love the exposure comments coming since it's the only thing you and the other 20 or so parents have going for yourselves and it makes you feel important...


Hey d-bag Daddy. Lets get something straight. This all started by you and other jealous daddy’s who felt threatened by a 2024 Team playing up against your older boys. I realize It doesn’t look good when your team loses to these little boys. So to make yourselves feel better about yourselves, you decide to attack our boys. A classic response to success, by losers. Let me tell you something insecure 2023 loser daddys. You poke this dog, you WILL get bitten. Badly.



Lol!!! That’s so awesome! Jealous??? Your team is a very good group that plays in a weak as [lacrosse] age group. There are only 4 good 2024 teams between LI and Md! 2023 is a powerhouse age group! We don’t need to play up to find competition... it’s all here. 5 very strong teams at least, and even the next tier provides excellent competition for them. Heck, even 3rd their teams are very skilled, as your little tiny boys found out last weekend. If you want to play up, stick to the weak New Hampshire, Upstate, And Connecticut town Team spring you chumps played at Yale. There’s not a single LI 2023 team that that your teeny tiny Wolf Pups could challenge. Saying you’re the best 2024 team is like bragging about being the tallest [lacrosse]! Lol!

Wow wow wow, once again still talking about our awesome boys and their dominating teams!! Being on one of the best teams in the nation brings with it lots of attention and jealousy as you can see. Now I know how the new England Patriots must feel . One day in the not so distant future when my kid is playing at a D1 ivy league college, maybe I'll leave some tickets at the gate for you to watch him play. But in the meantime keep up the conversation, I look forward to reading all your constructive commentary.


You better hope your 11 year old ivy league D1 prospect isn't found smoking crack behind his middle/h.s. dumpster!

Ahhh. Dufus. I don’t make a habit of bashing fellow 91 teams, but I’m going to make an exception here, since you started the bashing.

You must be referring to the championship game that was never played because the Warrior coach REFUSED to play WP, after WP beat up on the rest of the 23 teams they played. WP lobbied to play that game. Warrior coach REFUSED.

I want to be clear. You are saying your coach told you parents that WP didn’t want to play them, correct? Your answer will get back to him.

If that is true, he is lying big time to you.

WP has tried to play Warriors SEVERAL times. game or scrimmage. They have ALWAYS declined. Why? Because the two teams are very evenly matched and there is a very real possibility WP would win. No down side for WP to play. Huge downside for Warriors to play. VERY embarrassing if they lose. That’s why they STILL REFUSE to play WP.

You 23 parents need to come up with some better stuff, because you are getting killed here.

Oh jeez - now we've brought out the, "if your son doesn't play on one of the top teams, they don't matter" [lacrosse]. These lax elitist asswipes are the other bane of the BOTC boards!
2023 is very fortunate that 2024 Taz does not play up. Coaches choice. If they did, 2023, less the top 4, would be dominated by two 2024 teams. Hmmm. Maybe we should make that happen....

I'm not a Tazzie, but you need to have some knowledge of your [lacrosse] if you are going to be a good pot stirrer. Very weak effort here. Everyone knows that the 2024 3V team is horrible since their best players don't play on the town team. You're a very rookie pot stirrer.
Lol, re-read the post. He is talking about 2023 3V...

Loser!


Ha ha ha ha. Classic Outlaw [lacrosse]. I'd love to see my boy beat your sorry a$$ again. Will you then call yourself "AA" when you lose again?


We’ll see who’s sorry when I slap you around like my little [lacrosse]. It was a fall tournament and we were missing players. Your attitude will change come next summer.


Outlaws(2023) always have excuses for both teams. Some of their other age groups have good teams(2024), but 2023? PB, a overhaul seems necessary for your 2023 age group and I'm not talking about the kids!

SYAG and Sachem Sports Club merged their lacrosse programs and 6th grade is the last year. After that the North & East Clubs take over. It hasn't been very successful in IMHO. But this is big step and the current league leaders are doing a great job of righting the ship and will fix the mistakes of the past.

What is the likelihood of them taking any 2023's? Last year I don't think they took any 2024's. Trying to decide if it is worth going to the tryout. Even if my kid did make it, it is a big time/money commitment- I am not sure I see the return on having to take a week off from work in the middle of the summer to pay for a crappy hotel to sit on a hot field in Delaware. Is it really worth it?

You have to love the money making scheme these programs dream up. They are saying some areas will have a pride series games that will require an additional player fee

Do you know if they are doing a 23 and 22 team or just one mixed team with mostly 22's?

22 & 23 combined team. The format isn’t changing. The other teams being made for the different regions are all 22/23 so they won’t change it to accommodate one region. Most of the players taken when my oldest played we the top 22’s and the bigger of the 23’s.

The liability will be couched in the use of a grade-base system - by virtue of using grades, USL, along with all of the other more direct parties, will have created an inherently unsafe and/or dangerous situation whereby players of disparate ages are playing against each other in a full contact sport. Further, despite USL age guidelines, there is no attempt to govern these guidelines, and any players who are more than one year above age for their grade are already in violation of the guidelines. And from practical application, no one (!) at any level attempts to validate even players' grade levels - not teams, not tournaments, not the USL. There are players playing down 2 years from their 'normal on-age' level based upon the proclamation that they "intend to" do a PG year![/quote]

As to liability issues, assumption of risk is part of the analysis. At present, parents are putting their kids on the field while having no idea how old (or young) their opponents are. So it would be hard to defend these claims with an assumption of the risk defense. There is never any disclosure as to the age of the opponents or those participating in an event. Moreover, as has already been mentioned, no one in travel lacrosse - not clubs, not tournaments - requests verification of grade or age. This appears to be negligent in and of itself. No one exchanges rosters. There are no game sheets. Youth lacrosse tournaments are completely lawless and quite seriously unlike any other youth sporting event I have ever known.

Moreover, the toxic environments on sidelines negatively affects parent's prospective of the legitimacy and transparency of the competition. Everyone just assumes that a big, fast and skilled kid must be years older, when sometimes he really isn't.

Something is wrong with a sport when teams are supposed to be at the same level, grade-wise, but almost to a man one team is bigger than the other. This NEVER happens in age based sports. You can travel up and down the east coast with your kid playing soccer, hockey and baseball, and teams from every state will have basically the same average size as every other team. Some teams will have some freakishly big kids, but its balanced out by the small kids on the team. And everyone is fine with the freakishly big kid because they know his birth certificate is on file with the national (or state) organization, his name is on the roster submitted to same, and it would be easy to determine if cheating were involved.

Youth sports certainly has a win-at-all-costs side to it, but you would be surprised at how little cheating really occurs when everyone has confidence that the rules are being followed by everyone and that there are controls in place making it likely that cheaters will be caught. Stated differently, coaches and parents that cheat in youth sports in issues of eligibility really don't want to do it. They just think they have to in order to balance out cheating done by others. Left confident that no one else cheats, coaches and parents rarely do.

Just my thoughts.

I totally disagree with this post. First Kit Kat is too many pieces that means you get very little field time. That Kit is the A team but the Kat is not worth it and does not stand up to AAA level. The "Snickers" is led by parents that use too many red cups. Almond Hershey was good 10 years ago but they are only riding on reputation and brand they are now very under-rated and average for 2023 class. Baby Ruth is all name recognition and over priced very little development and need I mention the Caddy Shack event? The Reese PB cup is a solid team but how do you think they get the "Crunchy?" They rely on holdbacks some are 16 already and why did they not sign up for the world series of candy this summer? I am do not have a dog in this fight but Twix has some exiting new things on the horizon.

The liability will be couched in the use of a grade-base system - by virtue of using grades, USL, along with all of the other more direct parties, will have created an inherently unsafe and/or dangerous situation whereby players of disparate ages are playing against each other in a full contact sport. Further, despite USL age guidelines, there is no attempt to govern these guidelines, and any players who are more than one year above age for their grade are already in violation of the guidelines. And from practical application, no one (!) at any level attempts to validate even players' grade levels - not teams, not tournaments, not the USL. There are players playing down 2 years from their 'normal on-age' level based upon the proclamation that they "intend to" do a PG year!


As to liability issues, assumption of risk is part of the analysis. At present, parents are putting their kids on the field while having no idea how old (or young) their opponents are. So it would be hard to defend these claims with an assumption of the risk defense. There is never any disclosure as to the age of the opponents or those participating in an event. Moreover, as has already been mentioned, no one in travel lacrosse - not clubs, not tournaments - requests verification of grade or age. This appears to be negligent in and of itself. No one exchanges rosters. There are no game sheets. Youth lacrosse tournaments are completely lawless and quite seriously unlike any other youth sporting event I have ever known.

Moreover, the toxic environments on sidelines negatively affects parent's prospective of the legitimacy and transparency of the competition. Everyone just assumes that a big, fast and skilled kid must be years older, when sometimes he really isn't.

Something is wrong with a sport when teams are supposed to be at the same level, grade-wise, but almost to a man one team is bigger than the other. This NEVER happens in age based sports. You can travel up and down the east coast with your kid playing soccer, hockey and baseball, and teams from every state will have basically the same average size as every other team. Some teams will have some freakishly big kids, but its balanced out by the small kids on the team. And everyone is fine with the freakishly big kid because they know his birth certificate is on file with the national (or state) organization, his name is on the roster submitted to same, and it would be easy to determine if cheating were involved.

Youth sports certainly has a win-at-all-costs side to it, but you would be surprised at how little cheating really occurs when everyone has confidence that the rules are being followed by everyone and that there are controls in place making it likely that cheaters will be caught. Stated differently, coaches and parents that cheat in youth sports in issues of eligibility really don't want to do it. They just think they have to in order to balance out cheating done by others. Left confident that no one else cheats, coaches and parents rarely do.[/quote]

Yawn...... no one cares.

The problem is that there is no enforcement because there is not incentive for that enforcement. If USL would not allow players on the national teams or such if they played in tournaments or leagues that are non-sanctioned and there was a desire to play on these teams, then there could be enforcement. They could require cards with birth year and current grade, backed up with transcript, or just move it to birth year teams like hockey and soccer.

I may be wrong but the sports that have age requirements as mentioned in the original post are typically run by non-profit organizations with a board of directors and policies for which they adhere to. Other than PAL which, for most towns, is not super competitive, lacrosse is a for profit sport and the Directors are not a board and little to no governance. Don't get me wrong, the directors are smart business men who saw an opportunity and capitalized on it. Begrudge them all you want but the rules will not change until serious injuries take place and are well publicized. I don't think anyone really wants that.

USL is the proximate equal to USAH - club lacrosse uses USL as a governing body, possibly not looking to buck that because USL is a comparatively weak governing body. Were it that USL decided to be a better overseer of their sport, as is USAH, then you might see club teams move away from them, but a complete lack of a governing body would be worse than where are today. USAH is comprised of largely the same for profit types of clubs as lacrosse, and at this has a similar number of members.

It's true, no one cares. Injuries? The reason why wavers are signed and clubs require you to provide health insurance and agree to health wavers during registration process. Remember, no one has a gun to your hear compelling your child to participate. During play, If You think you child's safety is at stake, a reasonable parent will pull their child off the field, so the onus reverts back to the parent(s). But unfortunately many parents sit back and complain but will do nothing to challenge the system.

Meh - Waivers are frequently tossed out in civil actions. they dissuade some from bringing action, but not all.

No one exchanges rosters. There are no game sheets. Youth lacrosse tournaments are completely lawless and quite seriously unlike any other youth sporting event I have ever known.

Moreover, the toxic environments on sidelines negatively affects parent's prospective of the legitimacy and transparency of the competition. Everyone just assumes that a big, fast and skilled kid must be years older, when sometimes he really isn't.

Something is wrong with a sport when teams are supposed to be at the same level, grade-wise, but almost to a man one team is bigger than the other. This NEVER happens in age based sports. You can travel up and down the east coast with your kid playing soccer, hockey and baseball, and teams from every state will have basically the same average size as every other team. Some teams will have some freakishly big kids, but its balanced out by the small kids on the team. And everyone is fine with the freakishly big kid because they know his birth certificate is on file with the national (or state) organization, his name is on the roster submitted to same, and it would be easy to determine if cheating were involved.

Youth sports certainly has a win-at-all-costs side to it, but you would be surprised at how little cheating really occurs when everyone has confidence that the rules are being followed by everyone and that there are controls in place making it likely that cheaters will be caught. Stated differently, coaches and parents that cheat in youth sports in issues of eligibility really don't want to do it. They just think they have to in order to balance out cheating done by others. Left confident that no one else cheats, coaches and parents rarely do.[

Yawn...... no one cares.



The problem is that there is no enforcement because there is not incentive for that enforcement. If USL would not allow players on the national teams or such if they played in tournaments or leagues that are non-sanctioned and there was a desire to play on these teams, then there could be enforcement. They could require cards with birth year and current grade, backed up with transcript, or just move it to birth year teams like hockey and soccer.


I may be wrong but the sports that have age requirements as mentioned in the original post are typically run by non-profit organizations with a board of directors and policies for which they adhere to. Other than PAL which, for most towns, is not super competitive, lacrosse is a for profit sport and the Directors are not a board and little to no governance. Don't get me wrong, the directors are smart business men who saw an opportunity and capitalized on it. Begrudge them all you want but the rules will not change until serious injuries take place and are well publicized. I don't think anyone really wants that.



And still.... no one cares.

That was one of the best thought out posts . And your response is yawn and no one cares?? Please stop with the ignorance!!


No it wasn’t. It was copied and pasted from the 2025 forum, you lemming.

I have a serious question for you. Why would anyone want to change it??? It’s a system that has proven to be successful. The players who have been through the LI club system have become some of the best to play the sport. It has provided opportunities for young athletes to follow their dreams and even attend some great schools they they may not have otherwise been accepted into. Your son is either too small or your hero is Katelyn Jenner.

Before you say “it’s going to take a serious injury before the system changes”, keep in mind, I’ve been hearing that since my eldest played youth lax a decade ago. The only thing that gets hurt is the pride of the fathers who think their kid is a dwarf god.

Why change it?! Maybe the system has been 'successful' DESPITE it being the [ChillLaxin] show that it is, IE, there is a ton of room for improvement; IE, youth lacrosse is about 10 - 20 years behind where every other major youth sport has gotten to. Maybe that's why!

That's for sure. I think most of their pride is compacted in the large round bowl of jelly just above their belt line.

In total agreement, got to laugh about the serious injury argument to changing the age rules. My son has been playing football, lacrosse, and soccer for the past 6-7 yrs, the number of injuries his now 7th grade football team incurs in one or two games is more than the other two sports combined have incurred over all the yrs he's played. Not saying you can't sustain an injury in lax, but nowadays if an opposing player looks at you the wrong way a flag is flown, forget throwing a full body check!! Many parents on sideline have commented on how the sport is becoming more and more non- contact. Changes should be implemented but please drop the injury argument to support your cause.

Not sure how we got from changing rules to "kid is a dwarf god". My guess is the guy just wanted to say something witty and picked any post. You don't need an injury to know it makes more sense to have kids play sports on age. Other sports have strong enough governance to support it. Lacrosse doesn't. Once the kids get to HS then all bets are off. JV or Varsity, the kids have to learn to play with older boys.

Pretty sure all of our kids are in 7th grade. They will be playing with and against older kids from now on. Your argument is officially outdated.

Not sure where you are but my kids play on-grade until HS - separate 7th & 8th grade MS teams. So, "no" until they are actually in HS, that isn't true for everyone. But, please - continue to think you and your world are the center of the universe.

MSers playing up = weak program. Good luck with that! Even if given the choice, which would NEVER happen in our program due to the level of play/talent, I'd opt for my son to get the reps on his MS team where he can develop, along with playing with his classmates, of whom 7 all play on the same travel team together.
What does everyone think about Box Lacrosse? Doesn’t seem like too many LI teams participate.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of my existence... and my kid will be playing JV next year. I guess yours won’t.

That must be one terrible travel team.

I love it. There is no better way to develop stick skills and field vision/decision making. The speed of the game requires quick, tight passing and tons of off ball movement. The smaller “field” requires players to keep their heads up and constantly look for the open teammate. The 30 second shot clock requires them to make those decisions quickly. No stalling or holding the ball.

Field lacrosse dominates LI, and therefore = no Box. The most Box is done in PA, CT, NJ, CO, and west coast. My son plays on 91 and I think that's the biggest Box program around.here.

I think Box Lacrosse is up and coming on LI. Won’t be long before we see more of it here I think. More teams traveling to play, then LI hosted tournaments after that.

Not so sure. 91 put a big push on it last year. It obviously had dissappointing results, as far as participation goes. This year, no push at all from the 91 organization. Some teams are doing it on their own, but practice time is very limited and so are the tourneys this year.

Totally agree with this. Really does sharpen their skills and you can see the difference come spring.

I am burning my kid out because he has 1 lax practice a week? This post was asking if the kids play box in the winter. My kid goes to his once a week practice because it is a requirement for his team (that he choose) He plays other sports because he likes them. What's the problem? This board makes no sense. In onr breath people are putting down the organizations that don't practice enough. Then they put down the ones that practice too much. As for playing other sports, I think that is a good thing.

It's awesome when you want to wake up at 6am on a Saturday. Have fun, I'll be enjoying my sleep.
Box is definitely picking up steam. 91 has done it for a few years now, but before this year it was a separate team (and another $2000). Now I think Bandits and Warriors just do it on their own and play in a bunch of tournaments. I think Empire does it as well. Legacy has the NOTB branch that runs some box teams. East End Box is a team that practices pretty Far East. Island Box Lacrosse has teams for anyone interested and they play in some tournament and practice on Saturdays. Even some youth girls teams are starting to get into this year. And most of the tourneys are close. Philly, NJ and Bethpage.

Didn't the 2023 Outlaws have a box team last winter? Someone told me they played all winter, don't know if it was box.
I believe so. Express is doing Box again this year too. Not certain what the poster was saying about it not being popular. Seems like just about everyone has implemented into their winter training regimen.

Do qualifier tournaments for the Denver trip have to have the same roster? Can older kids help qualify the team, then not go to the actual tournament in Denver? Also, I heard there is a different cutoff this year. Anyone have it?

What happens is that the top 4-5 club teams all have older kids than the school cut off, and when they go to Denver the older kids don't come. That's the trend.

So, qualifiers do not have the cutoff? I thought different?

Older kids can not play in qualifier. Teams need to submitt age-appropriate rosters to play in the qualifiers.
Anyone know anything about the New York State Regional Lacrosse Championships?

Dukes Nationals is a PONZI Scheme. G is a crook, and the players are ball hogs. Won't be getting anymore of my money.

It would have been great to crush you, but you were to scared to come down and play us.

Sounds like the Warriors beat up on your kids team pretty good in the past. By they way it's spelled "buffoon." But now, maybe you should incorporate a daily regiment of age appropriate reading besides BOTC to strengthen the basic skills you fell short of in elementary school. Not being able to correctly pronounce or spell a simple seven letter word is a total disgrace as a parent!
Bandits won by 25. No joke.
That's because the bandits keep stealing their best kids!

Easy there Mr. “I Aced K-6 English”, before you start lecturing people on basic English skills, perhaps you should look up the meaning of the word “Regiment”? The word you were looking for is “Regimen”. Should we now say what a disgrace of a parent you are?

I am sure that was someone trying to stir the pot. Think about he score and then remember you're talking about a controlled scrimmage.

It was a Box Scrimmage I think. I believe Haugen doesn’t play Box competitively, they’re learning. Why the Bandits are teaching them, I have no idea. Pretty weird.

JS makes stupid money off of box. Probably charged the Haugen kids $30 for "indoor space" lol. 20 bandits + 20 haugen = 40x$30 = $1200 when he probably pays $300-400 for the space. Easy $800+ so maybe $400/hr and lets say he cut Hagen in for a piece - $300 an hour?

It's never about "need" . . .
Please. Not competitive in box is one thing. Loosing by 25 is embarrassing. The gap is just too large. Will be a big surprise for Express this Spring. Guess they won't repeat in Denver.

Keep believing they will not be competitive as they roll over your little Johnny's team. They have too much talent on a team that has been together for 4+ years and have added a couple great players in the past year not to be able to compete and win.
Wow, lost by 25? How is that even possible? Did they have a goalie?

Haugen's team doesn't know how to play Box. They're just a good field team.
Since when is $1200 “stupid money”? Not exactly paying off the mortgage with that kind of cash. There is no other reason for Club other than money. If you think these coaches have some other agenda you’re not very astute. Same goes for college prospect days, very few kids getting recruited at these events, it’s money in the pocket for the coaches, especially the assistants who are paid very modestly.

1200/hour then he splits it up....even if he gets $300 per hour cash, that is nice bank. And he gets to spend "quality time" with his kids (He, He) while you pay him. Even the girls are getting subsidized by other suckers, I mean teams. The guy is a cash generating son of a gun!

Got to admit, he is tan for this time of the year. Did he have the red, white, blue knit hat with the pom pom on the top, pulled down just above the eyes? What a joke!

I think that teams from Long Island Maryland and upstate are exempt from that But regardless wonder how many teams from those hot beds will attempt to attend

Outlaws are in!
Outlaws are in over their head
everyone has to qualify, no automatic bids...
How does a team from the north qualify? Is it based on the qualifying games at catiague park? Or is it also based on a teams past summer games?

They allow B teams at Denver? The PB family is delusional.

The qualifying tournament for the North region (NY, CT, MA, NH, ME, VT & RI) is April 8-9. According to the rules, the top 4 teams from each region will be invited to the main event in Denver; although, last year the North region had six: 91, Express, Igloo, Legacy, Prime Time and Eclipse.

Have the flexibility to combine studs from both of our teams in order to make up for families that cannot attend.

It comes down to what team fits your pocket-book and your sons needs the best. Don't know anything about any of those two teams, but by reading some post on here the two organizations (teams) are not spoken highly of.

Legacy would lose to outlaws. Just because you pay big money doesn’t make you guys good

If you are going to pretend you are another person responding to your original stupid post then at least go through the motions and wait for it to be posted and then respond.

Dumba$$. If you are going to pretend you are another person responding to your original stupid post then at least go through the motions and wait for it to be posted and then respond.


I was responding to the outlaw claim that they are the joke. Legacy is a B team at this age. Name one good team they have beaten.
Until PB and his partner feel their pockets getting a little thin the Outlaws program will not change.
Hate to break it to you guys but the whole tournament is a B tournament once you get out of the northeast qualifyer. You'll all find out. The atmosphere and everything is great but $5000+ to play in a weak tournament is a lot. The kids will love it though. Just don't expect much competition. It'll be express bandits or S2S winning this. Express will have the most 8th graders playing so I'll give them the edge.

PB is jerk and they'll never compete with anyone again. Coaches leave, players leave, even skull and bones mom's
leave because everyone sees the truth. Even MB brought the A team down to B at best.
Empire has to be the conversation. They are loaded.

8th graders that are the right age! Good for them. They should be able to play.

Says the parent of the 8th grader Didn't say anything bad just said 8th grade. You getting defensive throws red flags
The championship will be Bandits vs Igloo. Played against both. They are in another tier by themselves. They are both practicing as we speak. Everyone else will be fighting for 3rd.
There is no mention of how many rams qualify from each region. You could see as many as 10 from the northeast region. Because it's the strongest, and the WSYL wants more teams.

Igloo had practice before school today.
Can any team play in the qualifier?
Outlaws Will surprise everyone thus April - we have practice set up all winter and will come out of the gate in force, see you all in April
I'll say it again. Although they are age eligible express will win this again because they have the most 2022's playing on their team. Chan will not lose. He's been recruiting kids from all over for this. Yes I know AJ is the coach but Chan is the recruiter.

I can vouch for that. We have a whole new team. The worst players left and now we're stacked with top talent and the best coach in the 2023 division. We'll be top 3 in the Spring. You'll see.

Rabble-rouser...you don't have a kid on the team. No one who does would come on here and make such a statement. Why don't you get a hobby or do some charity work to occupy the obviously abundant amount of free time you have on your hands instead of coming on here and trying to start something.

Express motto - cheat cheat cheat - just speak with ant current parent about the " new " players that show up for practice, the only reason half the kids are on the team is to pay for the " new " kids trip to denver.
Did Brine,Worriors and Denver. Best experience and competition, Brine!

I don’t see how any 2022s will get into the qualifier. You have to send proof of age and grade when you register.

The last two statements are so dense and I am guessing the same person. The Outlaw parent stated no Outlaw parent would come on BOTC and make a claim the team will be "top 3" in the Spring. The person didn't say he/she doesn't come on BOTC. Many people go on BOTC to get a laugh and occasionally read something interesting. You are just a silly person that really has no life. Your son will realize you are a jerk when he leaves for college. Your wife, who probably already knows you are but stays only for the kids will also leave you when your son leaves the house. You will be left a shell of a man but you will always have BOTC.

This whole thread is completely ridiculous, both of you should get on with your lives
If you are born between 9/1- 12/1 2004 you are eligible and in my son's school district kids born between those dates are in 8th grade 2022. So I see how there can be some 2022 kids on these teams.

On or after 9/1/2004 not between 9/1 and 12/1
Anyone born after 9/1/2004 can play. It does not matter what grade they are in, or even if they go to school. Its like any other age based sport. Other than this, the other qualifications are tied to residence (must reside within a certain distance of club's home field) and participation (must play in a minimum amount of tournaments).

In NY, anyone born from 9/1/2004 to 11/30/2004 would normally be in 8th grade at present, although some of these kids will be in 7th grade because they were not promptly enrolled in K when younger.

Listen, if you look at the teams who have won it so far (Crush, Legacy, Express), only one was a grade based team. And even that team had holdbacks; however, the holdbacks fit within the age restrictions making their presence completely legitimate. Legacy made an entirely new team based on age to compete 2 years ago, and their plan worked perfectly. They took the best kids from the organization that met the age criteria and won it. Express used a similar tactic last year. More teams are going to do it this year. That’s not cheating. Cheating would be doctoring birth certificates or trying to sneak a non-certified player onto the field.

Sounds like it’s a heavy flow day. Clean yourself, grab a glass of wine and settle down. That argument has been beaten to death and no one want to hear it again.

PAL offers it through 8th grade - a lot if towns don't field teams because of school and club commitments, but if enough kids want more time, their town will do it. It essentially becomes a game-only obligation - no kid wants to practice with their PAL team after their school practices. And if it's all school kids, then they already are practicing together at school. My older son's team for 7th and 8th grade had 1/3 private school kids - they still didn't practice, but almost every one if them plays club and they've all been playing PAL together for years. Regardless, it's much more recreational at 7th and 8th grade.

Yeah, because every other sport is full of people doing it wrong . . . think about your actual argument a little before you make lame attempts at trying be snarky . . .

Stop being a tampon Warrior Dad. There is no A Division. You're jealous your little guy can't make the Bandits. Pipe down and enjoy your spanking.

Keep dreaming. 6th grade 91 Wolfpack crushed that team this fall at Yale.
I heard they’re actually college freshmen who have taken estrogen to appear to be 7th and 8th grade boys. Crazy right warrior mom(s)?

That’s true right everyone?

It’s a known fact.....

They pump these older boys / men full of estrogen to win because they need to cheat to win. They don’t put in more time, or effort on skill development.

The only reason they win is older boys, fixed tourneys, blown calls......

It’s exhausting listing to the lame excuses you make up.

RESPECT them, they work harder and as a result are better. At lacrosse and will most likely be better in life because they’ve learned that hard work pays off.

Sit back and admire their talent, stop the hate- it’s pathetic....
Son plays Superstar you guys are entertaining. AA IS 8/9 grade my older boy playing in that div

Express used a similar tactic last year. More teams are going to do it this year. That’s not cheating. Cheating would be doctoring birth certificates or trying to sneak a non-certified player onto the field.

Go to any forum or do a search. This has been discussed ad nauseam. Maybe you should complain about daddy coaches too. Haven’t heard that one in about a minute.
Everybody just get over it! Just give the Denver championship to the Bandits now, they have no competition!
So it’s a 7/8 bracket, you have some 8th graders and are trying to justify playing in B bracket

And Me Superstar it’s 7/8 no 9th graders....but maybe that’s how your older team is doing so well.

Stating fact, no justification, just fact. Quit whining about what these kids are doing.
They are a highly dedicated and skilled group of kids. Leave them alone and worry about yourself and your kids everyone always has something bad to say, no one ever says “holy [ChillLaxin], those kids are good”...
Give credit where credit is due and stop trying to minimize what they do. They work harder that’s why they’re better....

It’s crazy that you and adult (by age definatly not action) are jealous of a group of boys.

Ooooohhhh I just found out Bandits team is split, they have 1/2 their team playing on 91 white and 1/2 on 91 blue..... so any way you slice it (literally and figuratively) 1/2 the bandits are slaying everyine else.

Ok they should play up and not be allowed to run with a full squad ever....

They shouldn’t be allowed to play with their own age or split so everyone gets playing time because they win too much??? Do you hear yourself? Are you actually serious?

What if they had 11 7th graders and 2 8th grader’s? Where should they play master?

You need to stop weighing in on what others should do and focus on what you should do-
Or leave the 8th graders at home

Can't hang with the 8th grade? They'd get crushed. We would have loved to have seen the dirty players get rolled over.
Any teams playing Shamrock.feel like every year the weather is terrible but kids and coaches want to play
My son Plays SuperStar box and our teams are grade based. So a 7/8 grade team or 8th even with hold backs can play in the lower(A) bracket if it chooses. AA is always straight 8th grade including hold backs. A or lower division is usually straight 7 or 7/8 teams. 91 has been playing down for last couple of years so it makes it hard for a straight 7 team to play a 8+ hold backs team who are often 2 years older and obviously much larger.

I'm sorry but the 91 teams were not "obviously much larger". While they might have had one of the biggest kids (one kid in particular was really enormous), across the entire roster of players, I was surprised at how small their players were. And the better players were definitely smaller guys.

It snows every year at the Shamrock. Not a good tournament unless you're a polar bear.

Oh, ok mom. Sounds like like a little anarchy from within the clubhouse.
The Penn Lax team has several 7th graders and that’s back to back AA wins for them.
Same Express that was soundly beat by S2S????.
Most of the AA teams were 7/8 blended, heavy on the eighth graders. The A teams were mostly 7th graders with perhaps a few 8th graders mixed in. I agree about the Bandits, they were not the biggest team, but definitely the most talented team in the bracket. There were certainly bigger kids on some of the other A teams. I know that the Bandits team was age appropriate for the A division, but based on their talent, I would think that they would want to play in AA for the challenge, but that is their choice. I also wondered why they had two teams in A, plus warriors, they certainly could have put a team with the bigger kids up in AA, but again, that is their choice. Putting all of the bull (and the shots at team parents) aside, no matter what anybody says, that Bandits team is very talented, and this is not coming from a 91 parent.

No thanks on this one
My son loves that Bandits come down here to PA and play against any one of the two Bandit Box teams. He knows they are better and loves that they want to play against lesser talent and not go up a bracket. My only gripe is the dirty play by a few of the players, and they know who they are (no need in calling kids out). It's the same couple of kids and a blind eye goes their way every game. Sad part on the coaching for allowing this. Interesting that the two Bandits teams didn't play each other, and don't mind beating everyone else. Would love to see them go up to 7/8 AA and play some very good competition. They might not want to lose is my guess.

It seemed like a lot of the dirty play came from the Brotherly Love 7/8 A this past weekend.

What did BL do that was dirty? In 5 games they might have been man down 3 times. One bigger kid did hit a smaller kid about 8 feet from the boards and the kid flew into the boards, had he not hit the boards there wouldn’t even have been a pentalty called.

Move on already. Does it matter now? NO! Two long days with a bunch of screaming parents, in a hot stuffy arena is more than enough.

Yeah bring little 99.
Not a 91 parent, but why do they get knocked for playing in their age group. Sure they would be challenged by older kids, but if they don't care, then why does anybody else. My only real point of contention is doing things like splitting the team in half and playing in separate pools in a division, winning both pools and then leaving. How about entering one team and sticking around for the championship, regardless of the fact that they will probably win.

Total arrogance on the coaches part. But take a look at who you are dealing with.

I don't know much about the coach, or the individual players for that matter, but I guess that is the only reasonable explanation.

That 91 2023 crew is doing it totally right in my book. They are great players (on age!!) and even a better team. I've seen them pitted against bigger/older teams fixated on beating them up and I've seen them toy with random weak teams while being nice about it. They've been together for years and those boys know how to win. They get so much BS about not playing up or their competition or how they will peak as 4th graders or whatever. All smack talk. I wish my kids played on that team.

You are full of it... not a 91 parent. You are probably the coach. How would you know who is on age? You wish your kid sat the bench on that team? I wouldn't want my son playing with some of those dirty players and picking up those bad habits and attitudes. Dirty play runs in the family.

For what it's worth..the "not a 91 parent" is not a 91 parent...not sure about the "doing it totally right" poster....Frankly, I could care less about 91, the parents, players, coaches, etc...if any kid wants to play dirty, talk trash or have a crap attitude so be it, then the tone of the game is set and they should expect, and accept, an equal response from the opposing player. I have always taught my son to play like a gentleman, but I have also told him that if a kid takes a dirty shot, then that kid has now made a choice about how they want to play and that they should not be surprised when it comes back at them.

That 91 2023 crew is doing it totally right in my book. They are great players (on age!!) and even a better team. I've seen them pitted against bigger/older teams fixated on beating them up and I've seen them toy with random weak teams while being nice about it. They've been together for years and those boys know how to win. They get so much BS about not playing up or their competition or how they will peak as 4th graders or whatever. All smack talk. I wish my kids played on that team.

You are full of it... not a 91 parent. You are probably the coach. How would you know who is on age? You wish your kid sat the bench on that team? I wouldn't want my son playing with some of those dirty players and picking up those bad habits and attitudes. Dirty play runs in the family.


For what it's worth..the "not a 91 parent" is not a 91 parent...not sure about the "doing it totally right" poster....Frankly, I could care less about 91, the parents, players, coaches, etc...if any kid wants to play dirty, talk trash or have a crap attitude so be it, then the tone of the game is set and they should expect, and accept, an equal response from the opposing player. I have always taught my son to play like a gentleman, but I have also told him that if a kid takes a dirty shot, then that kid has now made a choice about how they want to play and that they should not be surprised when it comes back at them.


Winners concentrate on winning and losers concentrate on winners. Think about it!

The 91 guy sounds like a hammerhead.

You just proved my point!
Warriors destroyed by Empire. Told you we were coming after you Warriors. Now we know who is better.
You need to get over yourself, empire won by a goal! That’s not destroyed, also if you were there you would know what really happened, stop trying to stir the pot!
Battle of the bottom feeders. Not impressed.

Sad part on the coaching for allowing this. Interesting that the two Bandits teams didn't play each other, and don't mind beating everyone else. Would love to see them go up to 7/8 AA and play some very good competition. They might not want to lose is my guess.


It seemed like a lot of the dirty play came from the Brotherly Love 7/8 A this past weekend.


What did BL do that was dirty? In 5 games they might have been man down 3 times. One bigger kid did hit a smaller kid about 8 feet from the boards and the kid flew into the boards, had he not hit the boards there wouldn’t even have been a pentalty called.


Not every dirty play gets called...you said it yourself


Move on already. Does it matter now? NO! Two long days with a bunch of screaming parents, in a hot stuffy arena is more than enough.

Bandits are afraid to lose. Play up a level at 02. We're waiting for you.

O2 lololol
What a bad loss for warriors. Ouch
I think people would be more forgiving with the Warriors if they didn't try to act like an A team. They are a very good B or a lower level A. Their coach doesn't help that with his preaching

People are so funny. Parents from both teams were rubbing each others asses (big and small) after the game, then go home and post trash about one another.
Um, the warriors won the tournament! That must really kill/ouch you!

Jealous much! You obvisouly don't know the scores, otherwise you wouldn't be posting nonsense.
Does anyone know if team Empire beat team Warriors this weekend?
Yes the score was 8-7 Empire. Check tourney machine, all scores posted there except the championship which was Warriors 11 - Eclipse 5. BBL won the consolation over Empire by a couple.

Or shut your mouth and just play. Typical second team nonsense parents have superiority complex and bash everyone and everything. Coach tells everyone they are a top team then you lose to empire. That's how
You lose to empire you should quit.

It wasn't a USBOXLA sanctioned event. Get informed before you speak.
It was a joke obviously! lets get a few things straight, you weren't there obviously otherwise you wouldn't be pounding your chest about the win! Empire barely beat them! No one on that team walks around thinking they are any better then what they are, they are a bunch of boys/parents who just want to be competitive and play lacrosse at a high level. let me remind you this team you want to put down so much yes may be the B team, however has never ever played in a B division yet seems to beat alot of A teams and win some tournaments as well. That really just kills you doesnt it!! "A" team dad where ever team you are from! Stop your nonsense and stop being so disgruntled! Its lacrosse and your putting down young boys, hope that makes you feel good!
Gosh, it kills him that Warriors lost to Empire. He'll be on med's to recover.

Empire didn't beat the Warriors. After the game, tournament organizer, who at the last minute was assigned to Ref the game apologized for missing the two goals scored by the Warriors. Evidently, who ever is posting trash wasn't at the tournament.

I am sorry that I am uninformed...is there a website that you can refer me to where I might find this information? Perhaps one where there is tournament info and a place where parents can exchange knowledge that is beneficial to the kids, and ultimately, the sport? That would be great...

They were kind, social and supportive of all of the boys (many are friends with boys on other teams). They don’t deserve to be spoken about by a bunch of bitter people with nothing else in their lives other than youth lacrosse.

While 3V and GC are great town clubs, and have been doing it right as far as keeping the town kids together and away from club (for the most part), neither can really compete against good travel clubs. They might pull a win against a lower tier club, but that’s it. Fortunately for them, they see the bigger picture and understand that it’s not about winning tournaments at 12 years old. They’re developing future varsity teams.

I agree. Most towns do a terrible job at youth development due to politics or parent coaches who don't know the game.

Agree. Although some town programs are worst than others in regards to this topic, just remember, the majority of the town programs are run by parent coaches who volunteer their time, and those parents often say "it's all about the kid's." Yea right, your kid!

Ward Melville wouldn't have a state title last year without their Express developed players. Sorry, truth. Point is their is room for both, but just not in some towns warped policies.

Massapequa does a nice job at the youth development level all the way up to varsity. The varsity coach is fully involved. Most varsity coaches at the other big towns are absent from any future development.
Many, if not most, B and C districts/towns simply do not have enough players to draw from to field competitive town teams - as such, that inability to field competitive town teams versus the A travel clubs (of which there are more on LI than many want to admit, especially amongst the lax mafia!) is NOT ALWAYS an indication of poorly run youth programs. In reality, club probably benefits players from smaller towns more so (not only) than larger towns for this very reason. Here's a simple exercise, especially for C teams: take two competitive C team rosters and combine them (If these two programs also happen to be neighboring, even better!) - if they are already competitive in of themselves, you now have a roster where 20 starters are culled down to the 10 best, with the a huge increase in depth for that combined team. This exercise can be done for any age group, youth through high school - it is still applicable. It is for this very fact alone that what CSH has accomplished is even greater than what it appears. (And, no, I am NOT a CSH parent!) One could even make the converse argument: that many of the A programs under perform given how many lax athletes they have to draw from, even the successful ones.

Very general subjective statement. Throw in the town "mafia lax parents" into the mix and see how far you get. As an example, look at the drama 3V goes through fielding so called "A" and "B" teams, parents go crazy! Folks living in the same community cutting each other to pieces over youth lacrosse/sports. As some say, pay a good tutor for your kid in the beginning, it will take him further along in life than paying the astronomical prices compared to youth lacrosse.

You missed the point - most non-A districts' programs are lucky to have one team at youth - while I sympathize with towns that struggle with the A vs B squads, you need to realize how many more have just one team, which is a mixture of kids from great to terrible, all stuck playing on the same team. Hence why I said club is more beneficial to those towns' better players. Further, there are solid clubs that will develop boys that are not the 3, 4, and 5K per year (plus other expenses) - too many people get caught up in the "shiny things". I'd say that if you are not playing on the top clubs' top team, you are wasting your money chasing "shiny things". And that's not even getting into the issues with a certain club preying on this by having teams that almost mimic a college-sized roster!

My son enjoys playing the game along with being apart of his current team but it still irks me paying travel lacrosse prices along with the time that goes along with it. And that's just lacrosse! It's all subjective and each parent has to determine what best fits their kid. Therefore, it depends on who you ask, if there are clubs out there that will develop boys that are not in the 3-5K per year range.

It's like Kentucky Blue Grass over here, and my little Johnny doesn't have to deal with the horse manure anymore. You reap what you sow. Enjoy your new crop.

Anyone can beat Legacy 2024. Just ask True Blue 2024 who recently beat them. Don't come on here saying 2023 teams can't beat Legacy when they get beat by 2024 teams who are not in the top four.

Don't know much about taz since not in our grade division but I'll share two things I do know about them. First looking on the 24 forum they are not well liked and the parents are total dbags, which is prob why they are not well liked. In response to negative comments they immediately throw out the jealousy card. Second my kids 23 team played them last year and beat them by at least 2-3 goals maybe more. In summary original poster coming on this forum to brag and stir the pot is a true example of what that team is all about

Pretty sure it's not an invitational tournament. My son played in it two seasons ago. It's not really a box tournament.
Yes, it isn’t real Box, but still a pretty good mix of quality teams.

The post didn't mean invitational tournament. I'm sure it meant that Warriors is the C team, but don't tell them. They think they are an A team.
C team, you talking warriors or Empire ?

The warriors would only drop down to a C/B team if your son were on the team. Fortunately that didn't happen!
All the hate for the Warriors.. It just jealousy... Outside of the top 3, Bandits, Igloo and Express, They can run with anyone out there, win some lose some.. That's why you play the games. But I will tell you this, how many 2nd teams in the age group can show the success they have? Not a one..
Who won the HHH Eclipse game?
According to my son HHH won 11-9 but I wasn't there so cant verify.
Sorry that is posted There game against Express isn’t

Diude, don’t reply to this anymore. It’s the same parent who’s kid was on legacy, left because of not playing, then went to the outlaws and left for same reason. He is bitter person a keeps writing the same legacy and outlaw stuff over and over.

The Outlaws and Legacy are prime examples of what is wrong with Long Island club lacrosse. Both teams have a hard time beating the second teams for 91 or Express. They market themselves as A teams, but rarely compete well in A team tournaments. The Outlaws, specifically, are a team with some very good players. But, for some reason, they can not beat the Warriors or True Blue and they lost to 2024 Wolfpack. The organization can not hold on to quality players. Igloo and Express A have key players that used to be Outlaws. The coach in this age group seems like a good guy. He coached at Walt Whitman. The D coach seems good too. Why can't they get to the next level?

answer: it's because of the coaching, the ownership is difficult to deal with, disorganized, and couldn't give a rats [ChillLaxin]about their players.

The previous post was extremely well thought out and pretty accurate. The last post is just another stunad who doesn't have a clue.
I’d rather be playing on Legacy or Outlaws than sitting and watching like the kids on the bottom half of Express and 91’s AA’ and ‘A’ teams.
When organizations have a difficult time retaining 'quality" players, take a look at ownership and coaching. Rightly so, if parents are willing to shell out hard earned money, and time in order for their child to play on a club team, owners/coaches in direct line with the parents must have the skill set dealing with the consumer (parents.)

Well thought out and articulated post to describe the demise of the club listed above. If it weren't better elsewhere the kids would be coming back. The CEO and management need to step down to stop the bleeding.

If the ownership has no integrity, this just flows down the organizational chart. Any self-respecting coach will eventually leave a program if they have no confidence in the people that they work for. My son plays for an out of state program, so no loyalty to any of the clubs being discussed. While others may disagree, I believe that my son plays for the best 2023 in our area, and despite being asked to join other teams, I stick with our club because I believe that the directors and coaches are honest and decent people. I feel that they are looking out for the best interest of my son, there is a lot to be said for that. I am not naive enough to think that they not also out to make a buck, but I have no issue paying the fees because of my perception of the program. No director or coach from our program walks around with a holier than thou attitude, and they have a remarkable bond with the players. I believe that a lot of this has to do with not only assessing a players talent during tryouts, but attitude as well. While player's jumping ship for greener pastures is inevitable, we see very little changeover year-to-year. While that may be attributable to the overall success of the club's teams, that speaks volumes for the program.

This is true. Make no mistake about it many kids who on the top three or four teams that don't play and sit on the bench many times can not make another team who are considered in the top 5 or 6 on Long Island. This is especially so as the kids get older. Years of sitting on the bench financing the top ten to 14 kids playing time on the best teams causes the bench players skills to lessen while kids playing on other teams get better. Each parent has to make a choice what is best for thier kid. There are reasons to sit on the bench for a team like Express if the kid is in Catholic school. It may be a valid reason it may not. There may be reasons to sit on the bench for the 91 teams. Everyone has different circumstances and we make choices for difetent reasons. Just help your kid make the best choice for him and don't let it be ego driven. Unfortunately many choices are based on ego and not in the best interest of the player.

I love most of the recent posts. People giving honest opinions on what's right or wrong with youth lacrosse without bashing specific programs. Each of the programs have their perceived strengths and weaknesses. Some programs have better coaching, training, tournament selection, etc. You want to bring up directors that is fine but for all the negative things said about Chanachuk, Brennan or the others, there are many more positive things to say about them. Before bashing them, try having an actual conversation and then make a determination. Don't criticize them for making money. Who wouldn't want to make money being involved with a sport you love.

Maybe everyone has turned the corner and the kids can get down to playing lacrosse. It gets more fun as they get older and hopefully there will be more parity. If not this year then next year but it will eventually happen.

Make no mistake about it many kids who on the top three or four teams that don't play and sit on the bench many times can not make another team who are considered in the top 5 or 6 on Long Island. This is especially so as the kids get older. Years of sitting on the bench financing the top ten to 14 kids playing time on the best teams causes the bench players skills to lessen while kids playing on other teams get better. Each parent has to make a choice what is best for thier kid. There are reasons to sit on the bench for a team like Express if the kid is in Catholic school. It may be a valid reason it may not. There may be reasons to sit on the bench for the 91 teams. Everyone has different circumstances and we make choices for difetent reasons. Just help your kid make the best choice for him and don't let it be ego driven. Unfortunately many choices are based on ego and not in the best interest of the player.


I love most of the recent posts. People giving honest opinions on what's right or wrong with youth lacrosse without bashing specific programs. Each of the programs have their perceived strengths and weaknesses. Some programs have better coaching, training, tournament selection, etc. You want to bring up directors that is fine but for all the negative things said about Chanachuk, Brennan or the others, there are many more positive things to say about them. Before bashing them, try having an actual conversation and then make a determination. Don't criticize them for making money. Who wouldn't want to make money being involved with a sport you love.

Maybe everyone has turned the corner and the kids can get down to playing lacrosse. It gets more fun as they get older and hopefully there will be more parity. If not this year then next year but it will eventually happen.


Now see, you personally named 2 club directors along with giving them your kudos. But before that, you say to others, don't bash organizations. Well, I've had personal dealing with only one of them, and this person along with some of his coaches should not be interacting with parents/consumers. I know in this age group they have also had huge turn overs on both teams. So, I along with many other parents decided to take our money elsewhere. It's not one size fits all, and don't let some directors/coaches put the fear of God in you, leading you to believe their club is the only show in town for your son.
All this means is your set of circumstances were not a good fit for this club. There are many who's circumstances are a perfect fit. As consumers we have to do our research and pick the right club. I personally would not rely on what is said here. When picking a club for my older kid I checked here on what was being said. The talk was so bad about this one club you would have to be crazy to join. I ignored what was said here and did my own research. I called the director. I talked to people making sure any info given was not based on info learned here. Talked to the coach too. We took a chance on this club. Years later it was the best decision we could have made. He has d1 offers, had fun and got a lot better. Had I listened to what was said here and not researched myself who knows what would have happened. Choosing a team is like anything else. Rely on credible info and remember what works or what does not work for one may work or not work for you. All these teams can lead to a great experience or a bad one. It is up to you to make the right choice and leave immediately if it does not seem right.

Same experience with my family. Glad I left. Sooo happy I did so. My son now has a coach who believes in him and his game has excelled. And... The coaches are better!!
Club, pal, middle school. Gonna be a busy spring. Not sure if numbers dropped for pal this year, last year we dropped a team. Travel was twice a week till end of October, once a week since then once a week.

Are middle school games crazy, or same as pal? Do people get more insane lime Travel? Maybe depends town to town?

I know last year our numbers were down for PAL. Many towns have their own special inner workings that favor some, and on the other hand push some away. If I would've of known then what I know now, I would of just allowed my son to play travel last year. Only due to the fact, for us, PAL practices did conflict with travel practices. Furthermore it's a no brainier, for me to determine which team took president over the other. Was it fair for the other kids on the PAL team who showed up to every practice, who didn't play travel, to play less than my kid who missed several practices? No. So this year even though our town has a 7th grade PAL team, he will only focus on travel and MS lacrosse. I don't know how insane our MS lacrosse is, but know some towns are over the top. It's important to realize, it's not our kids that are over the top (insane) it's us Parents who are. Likewise, if your son is thinking about switching teams, do your due diligence; speak to the director, don't be hooked only by a coaches resume, find out there are and daddy coaches on the coaching staff, it could be a game changer. Lastly, be careful especially going forward into MS and HS. It's not one size fits all. We've worked too long and hard to throw money at any travel club lacrosse which we are not satisfied with. Don't become a prostitute in order for your kid to play a game. But hey, to each is own.
I know people tend to only care about the A teams but I am curious what people's thoughts are on B teams this year? Recon still advertising they have spots? S2S B team will have A first showing, People are saying the Igloo B team gained some new talent. Thoughts?

Recon A isnt strong so not sure how a B team would Be? The benefit of S2S B and Igloo B is that they practice with their A teams, so they get solid coaching, and it’s like being on a scout team in college; you always have to “play up” to your competition in practice. Solid plan.

Igloo B has been around awhile. Do you think they have gotten better? S2S B hasn't played as a team yet so we will see if they are getting a benefit from that model. Recon "A" is a B team. What teams will be top of this bracket?

Hypothetically; Lets fast forward a bit. One kid plays on 91 top team and the other plays on Recons top team. Now both of those kids enter the same showcase(s). Is it possible the kid from Recon may in fact receive more offers from top collegiate schools than the kid from 91 top team? I think it all depends on the schools needs and the individual. Take a peak at some D1 rosters, what's the average size (height/weight) of the smallest player, then do an overall average. Point being, I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth paying some of the outrageous tuition fees asked by some of the top clubs. Just a thought.

The player from a top team has an advantage because he has been playing against better competition more consistently and for longer. That said, the next couple years are awkward because kids are maturing differently. By 10th grade almost all the kids are past this stage and, more or less, fully grown. For both individuals and teams there is more parity. There will always be the elite teams but the competition is much less one sided and enjoyable as a player and parent.

I see your point, but the way you put it, your first sentence is neutralized once 10th grade rolls around, which was the point I was trying to make. I truly believe, as you said kids mature differently at different stages, so playing on a top team at this point, worth the outrageous prices some clubs are asking? Truthfully, it all boils down to the parents opinion and whats best for their family.

S2s b we'll have to wait and see. Could be decent, could be bad. Igloo b was solid last year. I don't know if recon had enough for 2 teams. I don't think they're second team was that good, and did they lose pieces from the 1st team? Don't know what they are trying to fill.

You are right but you definitely take a risk. The player needs to be self-motivated beyond the average player in order to maintain the intensity in the years leading up to 10th grade.

The big difference I see between A and B teams is the speed of the game. At this point, everyone should be able to pass and catch at a reasonable %. I see the A teams just doing drills faster. Call it intensity, self motivation, whatever, but the increased speed of the game is emphasized as a top priority. Athletic talent will always find a way to be shown. Playing against better players makes you better. Why is this? Because they move faster in every aspect. A decently athletic kid can dominate a B team because he is faster, stronger whatever. These A team kids cannot rely only on athletic ability, they need the IQ and athletic ability. The B team coaches cannot always make a drill faster based on the kids on the team. There might be a couple studs, but no depth. B teams that win b tournaments usually are the teams that have been together for a while and play a well coached game. They don't rely on a couple studs to win, they play a true team game. There are definitely kids on b teams that could be on a teams. Maybe they want o play other sports, or the travel aspect does not work. Puberty is a expletive. The slightly undersized middie or attackman that is quick, is about to get smashed in middle school. Unless he is a D1 level player, he will not be the go to guy. Its the bigger kid that might not be as fast, but can survive the beatings that are to come...

Funny isn't it. It sounds like he's afraid his little Johnny might lose his spot. I've watched A and B play together. It makes everyone play better. You always get a spoiled kid who think they are the next Rabil and won't get in a drill with the B kid. It only hurts little Rabil because he'll never learn to be a real teammate. Oh, and all the kids know what a loser he is.

yes the A players should be challenged. The B players are always challenge . Playing at or above your skill level is the best for all involved. You should not feel so offended , not worried about your b kid who prob is a true C player with the way you snapped.

The player from an A team only has an advantage if he gets significant playing time, if he's sitting bench most of game and the player on a B team plays most of the game than who really has the advantage. If a kid is good than he is good, college coaches are not going to care what team he plays for at the individual showcases, better player will be noticed

just because a child gets bigger does not make them better. SPEED , I.Q, SKILLS . ETC. THE A PLAYERS GROW JUST AS MUCH AS THE B PLAYERS:

Recon A isnt strong so not sure how a B team would Be? The benefit of S2S B and Igloo B is that they practice with their A teams, so they get solid coaching, and it’s like being on a scout team in college; you always have to “play up” to your competition in practice. Solid plan.
solid for the B players not the A players. Not a big fan of that .


Hypothetically; Lets fast forward a bit. One kid plays on 91 top team and the other plays on Recons top team. Now both of those kids enter the same showcase(s). Is it possible the kid from Recon may in fact receive more offers from top collegiate schools than the kid from 91 top team? I think it all depends on the schools needs and the individual. Take a peak at some D1 rosters, what's the average size (height/weight) of the smallest player, then do an overall average. Point

The player from an A team only has an advantage if he gets significant playing time, if he's sitting bench most of game and the player on a B team plays most of the game than who really has the advantage. If a kid is good than he is good, college coaches are not going to care what team he plays for at the individual showcases, better player will be noticed
You are missing the bigger picture . Practice is where the children really learn. To practice with children at or above their skill level makes them better.

Their are some clubs which their A and B teams don't practice together let alone scrimmage each other.

Yeah, they are not making the most out of their training and development of their farm system. I've seen B players move up to A and A players move down. It's a fantastic development idea. The pro's do it as well.
That is an extreme rarity at least within the same program. There are definitely excellent B club players but they will typically have to leave the program to make an A team. It's less to do with skill level and more to do with the program bringing new kids in before moving kids up. Think about it, it is much easier to bring new kids onto an A team an retain the B team player who probably likes his coach then to move the kid up to the A team and then recruit kids onto a B team. On the point of A teams practicing with B teams, it is not the kids that care because they are kids and will be friendly no matter what. It has more to do with the parents on the A team. Nobody would admit it on this forum but they think it's a disadvantage for their son to play against a B team player.
In the same token the B players benefit from practicing and scrimmaging their A team— they are challenged and will get better. However the A players are now practicing down and are not being challenged. So they will be at a disadvantage and a little surprised when they face their true competition come spring.

Disagree. My son is A and the coach moves the kids to a half field when working on plays. Line drills with B doesn't make your son worse.
You will see when the kids get older and play in the showcases that have no politics and are out of state when all star teams are picked who the best players are. The kids from the top two or three teams many times are beat out by what we call B players from B teams and are picked for showcase all star teams over long islands top three team players. These same players Come back to long Island for a show case and the all star teams are filled with players from the top two teams. Colleges don't care what team a kid plays for and in fact pick kids from B teams over starters from the top AA teams many times. Just because a kid is on a AA team does not make him an A player and a B team kid is not always a B player. Success for college recruiting will be based on individual merit not because a player is wearing a certain club helmet. You will see starting with the rising sophomores all this AA and B debate means nothing. Train your kid and challenge him while you make sure he plays a lot and has fun.

The player from a top team has an advantage because he has been playing against better competition more consistently and for longer. That said, the next couple years are awkward because kids are maturing differently. By 10th grade almost all the kids are past this stage and, more or less, fully grown. For both individuals and teams there is more parity. There will always be the elite teams but the competition is much less one sided and enjoyable as a player and parent.

Haha, you hit the nail on the head. The top dog dad's are hilarious to watch. I have an older son who was on a B team and now is heading to atop D1 program and none of the kids on his clubs A team have the grades to get in and didn't get in anyway regardless of grades. For those dad's who have kids on B teams who love to play the game of lax... Keep playing and studying, your future is bright.

Don’t think Bandits have any holdbacks
Which best team isn’t going to WSYL?
Bandits 100% have holdbacks so does Express and Igloo.

Empire, TB
I have to say even the top 3 LI programs (Bandits, Igloo, Express- no particular order) without there holdbacks are still going to be a tough out. So we will see on April 8th who is in, no need to bash any programs prior. Can anyone confirm if its 4 or 6 teams from this region that make it, Ive heard conflicting stories. Also does anyone know if they post all the teams playing in the qualifier prior.

Most teams have holdbacks, the question is whether or not they are age-eligible for the WSYL. I think that all of the Bandit holdbacks have birthdays after 9/1 so they will be playing as currently constructed. I was told that S2S isn't even going to qualifier because their 2 best offensive players are already 14 (or turn 14 this month). Express has holdbacks, but not sure if they were born before 9/1. I guess this is all speculation anyway because we don't what kind of funny business teams will try to pull to circumvent the rules.

False rumor. Best kids aren't the two you mentioned. S2S parents don't want to go. Waste of money. Denver does nothing for your kid other than bankrupt parent.

Totally agree but they should at least go to the qualifier. I can almost guarantee it will be the only time you will get all these top teams into a single tournament for the next four years. Doesn't hurt to qualify and turn it down.

Lol nice try - they don't want to go or simply can't compete because several kids don't make the age requirement anf they can't take any kids from the 2022 group because they don't have one, also the B team is in its 1st year and they have unknown talent- if any.

I noticed that you confirmed that the team has 2 fourteen year old kids though. And they are the 2 best. Without them S2S is Empire.

According to the S2S website they are going to qualifier and must feel very confident because they also have Denver trip on calendar.

If I were running and event like this and a team qualified and then refused the invitation, that team would be denied future opportunities.
I would have to agree, The WSYL is a huge Money Grab, and a complete waste of time. Each of the Previous three years of it's existence have resulted in the final four teams being from Long Island. I have heard that it's such a great experience for the kids etc. Although it may be a great experience, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to travel to Denver on the week of July 4th, to provide a Great experience for your son and his team. Several of the Organizations have taken trips to Maryland, North Carolina etc. to play out of state teams, visit college campuses, and watch college games. This folks, is a Great idea. The boys get to play against different teams, watch some great college lacrosse, and bond as a team, for a fraction of the price. The reality is, that it is a great marketing hammerhead for the Larger Organizations such as the Express, Igloo, 91 etc., if they win it, to further their recruiting efforts, by bragging about it on their websites. Winning or not winning this event will have zero affect on your sons future in the sport of Lacrosse. This event is designed to play to the ego of the parents, not the kids. Do you really think for a minute, that any of these boys would be crushed if their team decided not to participate? I have a son in the 2023 age group, as well as sons in older grades. Events such as the WSYL carry no weight with College Coaches, when they consider to recruit your son. Save your money, put it towards getting your son a tutor to raise their grades, have them volunteer their time to better their community, and become a better citizen. If they are a quality Lacrosse player, the College Coaches will find them. Put the thousands that you will spend on a trip to Denver, in their 529 College Savings Plan. Unless the Organizations on Long Island Collectively refuse the invitations to events like this, it will continue as intended, to fill the pockets of the Club Owners, the egos of the parents and nothing more. Buyer Beware...

Nice work Dad! Let the record show your son is obviously one of the best on the team and not being able to go just kills you.
WSYL will be obsolete in a few years. NLF Club Championships will get more TV coverage and cost parents much less $.

Why would you possibly care what other clubs/parents decide to do with their lives. If you do not like the WSYL, so be it, but don't come on here and say that it is a waste of time or a money grab. Some programs have decided that they want to participate in the event, the reason is irrelevant to you. Just because you think that some other trip or event is more worthwhile does not mean that every other option is meaningless Enjoy your trip to Maryland or North Carolina, I am sure that you and your family will have a great time, and it will be a great family/team bonding trip, that is awesome, but don't come on here and preach to everybody else that you know better. The fact that Long Island teams have won the last three years is also irrelevant to you, why should that be a reason to avoid the tournament. Long Island has some awesome lacrosse programs with a lot of history, but many programs across the county are starting to catch up, it's only a matter of time.And for what it's worth, despite your feelings, I bet your son would love to play in the WSYL, but that's my opinion, so you should not care.

While extreme, I think that it is a fair statement. Why waste everybody's time going to the qualifier if you do not plan on going to the tournament, other than a pure ego trip to say that you beat one of the WSYL teams if you do...big deal

Umm, isn't that the point? Play good competition.... Kinda of ironic to bring up ego when talking about going to Colorado to play LI teams, lol. Seems like someone wants a tshirt for the office

Buyer Beware...

Well said!


Why would you possibly care what other clubs/parents decide to do with their lives. If you do not like the WSYL, so be it, but don't come on here and say that it is a waste of time or a money grab. Some programs have decided that they want to participate in the event, the reason is irrelevant to you. Just because you think that some other trip or event is more worthwhile does not mean that every other option is meaningless Enjoy your trip to Maryland or North Carolina, I am sure that you and your family will have a great time, and it will be a great family/team bonding trip, that is awesome, but don't come on here and preach to everybody else that you know better. The fact that Long Island teams have won the last three years is also irrelevant to you, why should that be a reason to avoid the tournament. Long Island has some awesome lacrosse programs with a lot of history, but many programs across the county are starting to catch up, it's only a matter of time.And for what it's worth, despite your feelings, I bet your son would love to play in the WSYL, but that's my opinion, so you should not care.

Just caught this post... My son is going and I'm pissed that I have to lay out the money for this jerk o$$ event. I don't want him to be an outcast with his club, but come on! Rip off. The owner is the only one who actually gives a sh*% for his ego.

Go enjoy the mountain fresh air and grab yourself some legal rolled up green tea, it will ease the pain of your empty pockets

These are right up there for the stupidest responses ever. The original question was why to go to the qualifier if you don't plan on going. Because you can play the same competition and not have to travel to Colorado. It is probably the best tournament on the island this year for this age group... If a team doesnt go just take the next place finisher with an asterisk. At least when they get spanked people know it because they made a donation.

It was just someones opinion, calm down. I'm sure there are many parents on here that would agree, the event is a over blown complete waste of money. Likewise there are others that think the opposite. I'll say one thing, along with some parents walking the sidelines with their red cups in one hand, now in the other hand they will have their choice of weed rolled into a blunt.
Talking about Red cups. Empire going to Denver?
Talking about Red cups. Empire going to Denver?
This is all bs pansy a** nonsense, you can debate until next spring about the value or lack thereof of the tournament, it only comes down to what your kid walks away with from being a part of it and not about bragging on a lax forum for the mentally challenged about your kids victory

I don't smoke, only my kid does.
Congrats to the 22/23s who made the NLC. Gonna be a tough team to beat...
Ok you go to WSYL does the club buck in anything for it , Hotel ? Airfare ? Maybe a party or dinner one night ?
Was it too cold in Delaware for the LI Express teams? Not a good showing - especially from the 23s. Looked like some trouble on the sidelines - team and parent sidelines.

Because, as it was pointed out, when will you ever get Express, Team 91, S2S (maybe), Igloo, True Blue, Legacy, Outlaws, Recon and many other teams in the same tournament. Never!

Finally. Someone gets the joke. The LI qualifier will be the best tournament on Long Island this year for the age group. The best teams may not even get to play one another head to head unless they make the finals in Denver but they will probably play each other at the qualifier. Oh ya, if the team is lucky enough to make it and chooses not to go then another team will take their spot and everyone moves on. There is no sanctioning body that will tell that team they cannot participate in other tournaments because they decided to forego traveling to Denver.

Best of luck to all the teams regardless of whether they make it or don't make it to Denver.

For the record, it was just my opinion. I am not professing to know what's best for everyone. You are free to do whatever you thinks is best for you and your son. Just one man's opinion.

Here's what happened. Express beat a very good Crabs team , lost to a very good Hawks team & beat a weak NXT team. All the parents are happy & this is a good team. Hope that clears things up , now go stir the pot some where else.

Parents are not happy at all and more importantly neither are the kids Same crap! Keep adding kids that do not pass the ball and the same ones get rewarded with more playing time
To add insult to injury, those new kids are not paying and the kids not playing are subsidizing it all. It’s a great system until parents get tired of Johnny watching the entire game from the sidelines.

How do you know so much about what happened down there? Either you are one of the disgruntled parents or a friend of the disgruntled parent who told you something in confidence. Either way, swim in your lane and mind your own business.

You should have kept BM. That was the good old days when the team was better than everyone.

You should probably find a new club, it doesn't sound like you are having much fun on this team. You are a parent of a kid on the team right? Otherwise you're a creepy pedophile like guy who knows a whole bunch of information about boys you don't know. So which are you?

Keep trying to deflect your teams problems, the ship is sinking.
Sounds like parents chasing a pipe dream, initiated by a coach who can careless about them. Consider doing what's best for your own family, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I see it happening often, coaches blowing smoke up parents jerks, parents become disgruntled and move from team to team. Hey, there is nothing wrong with the Express program, if parents are willing to pay to have their kids belong to a over maned team, so be it, no one put a gun your head. Remember, without our kids there is NO such thing as travel teams...

My son moved to a couple of clubs over the years and finally found one where the coaching is great and the talent is very good. I never thought he'd be able to finally get on a club team that was very good at such a late date, but I'd advise all parents to keep searching for what your son needs and you'll eventually find the right fit. The only thing I didn't like about the experience was the $100 tryout fee per club. Good luck on the move away from Express. There are better alternatives!

What is the NLC????


National Lacrosse Classic, used to be called the Brine All American Classic. Maverick is the Sponsor now. Really a great program, this year will be in DE. Run by Ron Caputo, assistant Duke Coach. Evaluations are done by out of state coaches, so there is no conflict of interest. Different then Warrior debacle where JS and AJ called all the shots and made up 95% of the team from their players. The NLC is well worth looking into, it's a four day event, two days are training, clinics etc. and two days of games.

I would agree that is why you don't see much chatter on here about the Warrior games. People know the tryouts were a donation to the express/9d1 fund so they have decided not to be suckered again.

Why would you possibly care what other clubs/parents decide to do with their lives. If you do not like the WSYL, so be it, but don't come on here and say that it is a waste of time or a money grab. Some programs have decided that they want to participate in the event, the reason is irrelevant to you. Just because you think that some other trip or event is more worthwhile does not mean that every other option is meaningless Enjoy your trip to Maryland or North Carolina, I am sure that you and your family will have a great time, and it will be a great family/team bonding trip, that is awesome, but don't come on here and preach to everybody else that you know better. The fact that Long Island teams have won the last three years is also irrelevant to you, why should that be a reason to avoid the tournament. Long Island has some awesome lacrosse programs with a lot of history, but many programs across the county are starting to catch up, it's only a matter of time.And for what it's worth, despite your feelings, I bet your son would love to play in the WSYL, but that's my opinion, so you should not care.


For the record, it was just my opinion. I am not professing to know what's best for everyone. You are free to do whatever you thinks is best for you and your son. Just one man's opinion.


I think it sounds really fun. My son really wants his team to make. Money well spent? If it creates some good memories and the kids have fun I will be happy.

Could not agree more, that is what it is all about. Basically, a great family vacation to Denver with a few lacrosse games thrown in.
The same sht that goes on the sidelines of most LIE games. Once the red cups come out, parents start chirping about playing time and ball hogs, etc and the next thing you know it starts getting personal.

A great family vacation is a trip to Montauk without a couple of games.

Really? Is this first hand knowledge or your brilliant analysis based on no factual evidence. In order to give your statement any credibility you need to share some details.

You need to face reality or start paying attention to what is going on during your games, maybe you should take it easy on the red cups, them maybe you will be more aware of what's going on around you.

Either way, spending time with the family is what counts...some of the best times and conversations I have had with my son are during the car rides to tournaments...no distractions...no xbox...and as far as this year goes, no Fortnite...

Yes, I am denying there is an issue and frankly, I'm not really paying attention as to what is going on.... because right now I am focusing on making an ENORMOUS pot buy
when I am in Denver.

Rocky Mountain High! Colorado!
red cups are on every sideline. this is also a mini vacation for the parents.

its not the alcohol that makes the parents crazy, they already are CRAZY!!!

Dude, do you seriously believe this guy after dropping at least 10k on club costs and possible trip to Denver is gonna acknowledge team issues and paint his kids situation as anything but rosey???

Now that is funny.
Does anyone really want to go to Denver in the summer? My son's team is going to the qualifier and will likely be invited (not definitely, of course) and half of the team does not want to do it. I've spoken to parents from other teams as well and, though they would never admit it to the coaches, they have no desire to spend that extra money to fly away from the beaches that they wait 10 months to go to. It's the 4th of July for God's sake. It's just such a stupid idea. The NLF tournament at Lehigh is a much better option. No need to do both.
The NLF is a great option and the age difference is within 18 months of graduating year. ESPN will be doing some games, which the kids get excited about and of course, there will be a lot of red cups and MILFs to chat about for the parents.
My sons team is going to qualifier and NLF Club Championship as well. I want his team to do well at qualifer but frankly not real excited about all the extra $ just to goto watch alcrosse in Denver. Competition at Lehigh will be just as good and way less $.

You are 100% correct. I think my son's team will be invited but I have no desire to attend with a family of 5. I would rather be someplace by the water, however the NLF aka the Lax Mafia only invite mostly member clubs so it's not truly open to everyone.

I've discussed attending the WSYL with a dozen coaches and even more parents and have heard nothing but great things. Can you say the same thing about the NLF? The teams are full of holdbacks, they blackball the best competition, and the directors are the same unscrupulous owners that parents are warned to stay as far away as possible. Yea...lets support that.
NLF ON ESPN THIS YEAR!

Our team is in the same boat. A few of the parents I spoke to would pass if given the option. Airline tickets, car rentals, hotel, food, expenses, etc, I don't believe it's worth it. I agree, we'll get a bigger bang for the buck at NLF. In contrast, the organization is only concerned about their bottom line($$). The exposure the comes along with winning the WSYL in regards to recruiting more kids($$)/advertising/marketing far out weigh the parents concerns, their wallet!

NLF opened the Club Championship up to about 30 teams. I saw a posting of the list of competing clubs and it was both substantial and varied. Not just the NLF members. I'd rather my son play against holdbacks in PA than play diluted, weak teams in Colorado. It's too far and is being played at a terrible time.

They have to open it up to be relevant, however, because so many people/clubs are turned off by the core NLF teams, they may not be interested in the NLF tournament, regardless of the fact that it will be a very competitive. I realize that there are great teams in the NLF (some of the best nationally), and the convenience is a plus, but you do have to deal with the holdbacks (yes, I know that it is a part of lacrosse life, so spare me the lectures), for better or worse, and putting aside the cost/convenience, the WSYL is an opportunity to compete on a level playing field. My son has, and will, have the opportunity to play the NLF teams at other national level tournaments, so the WSYL offers something different. While some may view the opportunity as a waste of time/money, others do not, and guess what, that's OK

Interesting enough they did open the tournament up, but unless you're a NLF team you can't play in the bracket that plays on ESPN. So once again the mafia disenfranchising kids to pad their pockets and build their brand. You can't make this stuff up.

It's the 4th of July for God's sake. It's just such a stupid idea. The NLF tournament at Lehigh is a much better option. No need to do both.


I've discussed attending the WSYL with a dozen coaches and even more parents and have heard nothing but great things. Can you say the same thing about the NLF? The teams are full of holdbacks, they blackball the best competition, and the directors are the same unscrupulous owners that parents are warned to stay as far away as possible. Yea...lets support that.


NLF opened the Club Championship up to about 30 teams. I saw a posting of the list of competing clubs and it was both substantial and varied. Not just the NLF members. I'd rather my son play against holdbacks in PA than play diluted, weak teams in Colorado. It's too far and is being played at a terrible time.


Interesting enough they did open the tournament up, but unless you're a NLF team you can't play in the bracket that plays on ESPN. So once again the mafia disenfranchising kids to pad their pockets and build their brand. You can't make this stuff up.


Don't play for a Mickey Mouse club and it won't be an issue



Yes play for two of the biggest crooks in the sport just to sat your son is on 9d1 or express, while they never get any game action.

WSYL posted, smooth sailing for 90+1 A and Express A, that was to be expected. Looks like S2S, SweetLax, TB and Express B will be the toughest bracket. Meaning who wins it, not saying there the best teams please don't misunderstand me. 4 equal teams the games should be good. Well anyway good luck to all the teams there, hopefully we keep the Championship on Long Island.

"they're"
S2S is probably the best in that group should handle TB and Express B without much of a problem not sure about Primetime though. STS alresdy beat Express A when they played. It's going to be 91, Express A, Igloo A, S2S, the rest depends on how many teams they take. The only certain thing the WSYL has done for long Island is bring all the best teams here to Finally play in the same Tournament now if we can only get them to just play each other there would be no reason to ever leave to play Elsewhere. All the out of state teams would flock here to try and enter tournaments.

Honestly, it depends on whether or not S2S plays with an age-elible roster. It they bring their current roster, then I would agree with you; however, there are at least 2 critical players that don't meet the cutoff. They are impact players on that team and they can change the game. If they stay home, as they should, then S2S struggles in every game. I'm not sure about the rosters on the other teams, but Primetime is definitely solid.

I don't see how S2S or any other team for that matter can allow age ineligible players to participate. The rules are clear and it would bring undo criticism on those boys and their families.

I would bet they aren't the only team with this issue. I had heard that they decided as a team they weren't going. Guess we will have to wait and see who qualifies and who goes.
where is this schedule posted?

S2S couldn't handle TB last time they played - they Lost
Igloo B, Express B, Warriors and True Blue are wasting their time. S2S will be lucky if they hang in.

Hey, anything can happen. Look at Loyola of Chicago.
TB is the best team on LI.You'll see once we destroy your teams!

None of the teams want to get destroyed. All of these teams want to get better and you can only do that by playing better teams and learning from mistakes. Encourage the teams instead of being a hater. This is a great tournament and will be the only time you will ever get all the best teams (AA and A level) on LI area playing one another.

We'll what???? Lol. This is just comical. If any of the teams above win and the usual A teams don't, it will because they had a good day and the other had a bad day. Those B...I mean AA teams will spend 10k to get pummeled in Denver.

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. So if a lot of people do it this year it may just to have their kid go against some of the best kids in the age group. We all know it's a donation to the JS/Chan teeth whitening fund

More people are taking advantage of the send in your video clause to make the team. No need to attend tryouts anymore.

Thanks for the info. I can stay home order take out with the $ and send in a video. This seems like a win win for everyone involved. I don't think JS would be too happy loosing out on the donations.

The best kids aren't showing up to play your son. They're already picked. They're not coming to the event. They mailed in a video.

Smarten up people and stop handing over your hard earned money so easily. Before shelling out that amount of coin, ask yourself; a year from then, will the Warrior Games make a difference in the over all scheme of things?
Correction 4-5 ineligible players and everyone knows who they are...so we will be watching ....

Isn't that why they play the game? Don't we tell them to give it their all every time they're on the field because any team can win on any given day? No one is forcing anyone to go. There are players on many of the teams that will not be attending. That's fine. This tournament is about the experience. It's not all about winning; although, most LI teams are going to win far more than they'll lose. And FYI, no scholarships will be doled out in July; however, the boys will likely remember the experience for a very long time.

$10K? Please... I don't fly first class smile
I would love to see a team knock the Bandits off the mountaintop but I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon! And accept the fact they are going to win Denver!

All of the people that are trashing the Warrior Games obviously didn't attend. I was there with my son and it was awesome. The kids had a great time and they were able to spend some time meeting and befriending kids that they normally play against. You people that say it was fixed are off your rockers. Was the team made up of mostly Bandits and Express? Of course! Those two teams make up many of the top players in the age group. Many S2S and Igloo kids opted not to try out, instead playing in the Brine games. There were still several players on the team that were not on either of those teams.

Furthermore, the reason that there's "crickets" for the All American Games this year is because many of the top players will be playing in Denver. Most people figure tha that's enough of a monetary commitment for 12/13 year old boys.

Oh stop it tell everyone how the tryout was done and how the teams were split at tryout. You can't have a team of all Bandits and Express players on one team and everyone else at the tryout on the second team. Then last minute they said oh we are looking at video that will be sent in by players. People are not stupid if you were there to watch the tryout and you would understand why people won't pay to tryout for a team that's already chosen.

Ok. The tryout started like every tryout. Kids were broken up randomly into groups and rotated through different drills. Drills that determined which players showed the most skill. Then, for the second half of the tryout, the kids that were deemed most skilled went on one team (the players were mostly from Express and Bandits because those teams had many of the best kids that were at the tryout). The second group of players went on the other. During those full field scrimmages, some players on the second team showed to be better players than expected. Similarly, some players on the first team did not shine. When the final roster was assembled, most of the kids from the first team and 3-4 kids from the second team were invited to the games. That's how tryouts work.

You must be JS or Chan. Either way, you're a total fool. That's the problem with your shams, you keep telling yourself that you're not crooked, but the public knows your a bafoon. I was there, I saw, and my son listened to the bs speech. Go back to your blow hole.

Then last minute they said oh we are looking at video that will be sent in by players. People are not stupid if you were there to watch the tryout and you would understand why people won't pay to tryout for a team that's already chosen.


Ok. The tryout started like every tryout. Kids were broken up randomly into groups and rotated through different drills. Drills that determined which players showed the most skill. Then, for the second half of the tryout, the kids that were deemed most skilled went on one team (the players were mostly from Express and Bandits because those teams had many of the best kids that were at the tryout). The second group of players went on the other. During those full field scrimmages, some players on the second team showed to be better players than expected. Similarly, some players on the first team did not shine. When the final roster was assembled, most of the kids from the first team and 3-4 kids from the second team were invited to the games. That's how tryouts work.

You must be JS or Chan. Either way, you're a total fool. That's the problem with your shams, you keep telling yourself that you're not crooked, but the public knows your a bafoon. I was there, I saw, and my son listened to the bs speech. Go back to your blow hole.


Sounds right. Person must have some skin in the process to post that type of reply. Believe me, they will sell your the Brooklyn bridge if you pay for it.

Furthermore, the reason that there's "crickets" for the All American Games this year is because many of the top players will be playing in Denver. Most people figure tha that's enough of a monetary commitment for 12/13 year old boys.

You are a buffoon. That is how it is supposed to work but if you think that is really what happened then you have not got a clue.


That's exactly how it went. And no, I have no skin in the game at all. Either you weren't there or your son is not as good as you think he is. You trash an event simply because your son didn't make the team. You have no clue what you're talking about.
Can't wait!!!

Are you saying that there are only 25 or how may players that had on that team good enough to make the roster that day. If you believe that then there is no need to speak with you. The process was clearly rigged. You don't go down the line and pick random numbers and have all your players + players from the co sponsor of the even on the same team and everyone else on a different team. If you told me they did this after a 3 day tryout then I would say yes they had enough time to evaluate each of the kids and no kid outside of that group has a remarkable 1 day so his skills were miss judged. They decided who they would take after doing a few small area drills plus 3 kids from the other team

Are you really that big a fool to have taken this post as being serious?!
The North \ South split is going to kill the Warrior Games this year. Bad move. Also give the MVP Awards out to the kids that deserve it this year. Was a political award last year and given to a member of each club team so that people come back this year. Be smart people and this can last a long time

I don't even understand your post. It was a one day tryout. That's all the time they had. The team was only playing in one tournament; why would they spend 3 days on tryouts?

There were 25 or so kids on that roster that showed more skill and talent than the other players at tryout. There were very few Igloo or S2S players there. There were a lot of Express and 91. There were a handful of Outlaws, some Ducks, some Legacy and some TB. There also a bunch of town kids that showed no signs of being on a travel team. Of all of the teams mentioned, which are the best? Bandits and Express. Why are they the best? Because they have the best players. It's pretty simple. I never said that the other players weren't skilled players. I think that every kid at that tryout was an above average player, but there are only so many positions to fill. And they were filled with the kids that had the best tryout.

MVP awards were chosen by opposing team’s coaches based upon performance during final game. How could that have been “political”?

LOL> Come on. Wake up, the poster is right. Amazing how it was chosen by coaches but each Travel program got at least 1 MVP. Orange squad should have taken home most of the MVPs according to the stats, but do that and you get less registrations from people who think its an inside job. And if It was the last games performance why keep live stats of the players during the day? And if a player has a weak showing all weekend but shows up in the last game he deserves it?? My advice is get rid of the MVP thing all together and it will make for long term success but Business prevails as always

Maybe you should get your kid some lessons. It sounds like he got the first true evaluation of his skills and it damaged your ego. How long did you ground him for after he didn't make the team? Did you let him know all of the excuses for why he didn't make it? Get used to that, dad. Sounds like you're going to be making excuses for your kid for the rest of his athletic career... which sounds like it will be about a year from now. Tell me his position and I'll list the 12 kids better than him.

For someone with no skin in the game you seem to know a lot about what happened. Are you saying both coaches kids are better than the other players that showed up that day? That's just one example but I don't think you are being truthful about "not having skin in the game". Maybe your son is not a player but, since you know so much, you must be an organizer. Bandits and Express definitely have great players and picking them is an easy option but the purpose of the tryout was to pick the absolute best and that was not the case. I am not saying they didn't assemble a great team but it wasn't the 25 best.

That was the general consensus for even the people that made the team. They didn't choose the best 25 from the tryout. The easy cop out was taking bandits and Express kids because they are the best team.

Well that backfired didn't it? Because they were the only LI team to lose. JS had to get his teeth whitened again from grinding them down watching.

Your comment proves the (they picked the best players from the best team) wrong. They picked the usual suspects from the people lining their pickets and told all others thanks for the donation for being in our company now go away.

Very Funny! If your son does not play for 91 Bandits or Express Haugen, keep your try-out fee in your pocket. If you go anyway, don't blame anyone else for wasting your money. AJ not coaching the team this year, so it will really be the JS Show! Buyer Beware!!!
Hey, did you hear the joke about the old guy and the guy with a year round tan and shiny teeth?

Yea that's the one about the two guys stealing money from parents. Well not stealing because the suckers line up to hand it to them and then say thank you very much.
Four pages of this nonsense ! Our coach from warriors is coaching no JS or AJ both bailed out As did most of bandits and express. So now maybe your average kid can make it this year

Honestly, it depends on whether or not S2S plays with an age-elible roster. It they bring their current roster, then I would agree with you; however, there are at least 2 critical players that don't meet the cutoff. They are impact players on that team and they can change the game. If they stay home, as they should, then S2S struggles in every game. I'm not sure about the rosters on the other teams, but Primetime is definitely solid.


I don't see how S2S or any other team for that matter can allow age ineligible players to participate. The rules are clear and it would bring undo criticism on those boys and their families.


That can not happen all roster that are registered for this are the only names allowed for WSYL. Rosters are frozen so eligibility is legitimate

We were just exposing the fraud from last year. We'll see how it goes again. I'm not bringing my son down. I was fooled once. I'm sure I'll hear about how it goes on BOTC, and how many Warriors get picked from 91's "B" team.

It they bring their current roster, then I would agree with you; however, there are at least 2 critical players that don't meet the cutoff. They are impact players on that team and they can change the game. If they stay home, as they should, then S2S struggles in every game. I'm not sure about the rosters on the other teams, but Primetime is definitely solid.


I don't see how S2S or any other team for that matter can allow age ineligible players to participate. The rules are clear and it would bring undo criticism on those boys and their families.

That's exactly how it went. And no, I have no skin in the game at all. Either you weren't there or your son is not as good as you think he is. You trash an event simply because your son didn't make the team. You have no clue what you're talking about.



Are you saying that there are only 25 or how may players that had on that team good enough to make the roster that day. If you believe that then there is no need to speak with you. The process was clearly rigged. You don't go down the line and pick random numbers and have all your players + players from the co sponsor of the even on the same team and everyone else on a different team. If you told me they did this after a 3 day tryout then I would say yes they had enough time to evaluate each of the kids and no kid outside of that group has a remarkable 1 day so his skills were miss judged. They decided who they would take after doing a few small area drills plus 3 kids from the other team


I don't even understand your post. It was a one day tryout. That's all the time they had. The team was only playing in one tournament; why would they spend 3 days on tryouts?

There were 25 or so kids on that roster that showed more skill and talent than the other players at tryout. There were very few Igloo or S2S players there. There were a lot of Express and 91. There were a handful of Outlaws, some Ducks, some Legacy and some TB. There also a bunch of town kids that showed no signs of being on a travel team. Of all of the teams mentioned, which are the best? Bandits and Express. Why are they the best? Because they have the best players. It's pretty simple. I never said that the other players weren't skilled players. I think that every kid at that tryout was an above average player, but there are only so many positions to fill. And they were filled with the kids that had the best tryout.

You're a total [ChillLaxin]wipe JS/Chan


Maybe you should get your kid some lessons. It sounds like he got the first true evaluation of his skills and it damaged your ego. How long did you ground him for after he didn't make the team? Did you let him know all of the excuses for why he didn't make it? Get used to that, dad. Sounds like you're going to be making excuses for your kid for the rest of his athletic career... which sounds like it will be about a year from now. Tell me his position and I'll list the 12 kids better than him.

Maybe it will be a good opportunity for the Bandits kids to actually have a life and meet other kids after throwing two years of their lives away, five days a week, focusing on one sport that, at best, will get them a few bucks for college....

Watch out for TB, coach Cat has them practicing 3days a week 2.5 hours a day, he wants this WSYL bad.......
Where's this yrs PAL thread, season has started, makes for an entertaining read
Ok, so at the warrior Long Island North Tryout there at 31 kids here for three grade. I am Loki g at the feild right now. When the roster comes out and all three teams are full, you will know the fix was in.
I find that hard to believe with all the hype associated with this event. Can anyone else confirm? Maybe the south tryouts will be different.

Believe it. They combined 23,22,21 tryouts into one. There were more evaluators there than players. They said there was some varisty event that everyone had to go to for 22,21, had to be some reason right? 2023 may be combined with South, they will let you know. This is what happens when you dupe consumers and go to that well to many times. Last year there were tons of kids at tryouts, but you tell everyone kids who sent in videos may be on the team. 70% of last years team were those videos senders. People just Stayed away because they are not supporting this nonsense anymore.

It should be considerably less if they split it North and South
All this chatter about the LI teams but remember that the coach from Baltimore whose 2023 team played in the warrior all American event crushed the stacked LI warrior team. S2S and LIE have played this coaches ACS 2023 team that is comprised of his best players from that mid Atlantic team based out of Baltimore. That ACS 2023 team is unbelievable and easily beat S2S and LIE. If that team played in the WSYL it would win it all. Very well coached and very good players. I’m not taking away that our LI team are very good but you have to see this ACS team play out of Baltimore. They play fast and they play at a high level.
They couldn't qualify for the WSYL - age restricted tournament. Also, Express split games with them two weeks ago - went 1 win and 1 loss.

Considerably less? There were 30 kids from three age groups.
Heard half the ACS team was missing due to local play days. When the entire team is there no way LIE can hang with that team. I also heard the second game ended in a tie and they had no goalie since both goalies were not there. All of there studs were not able to play. Lie is good but that ACS team is unreal.
How do they let players who didn’t tryout make the team. So someone sent in their highlight film and that’s enough? Bet they edited all bad plays, lol. This will be the last year for these warrior games. Complete joke run by 91.
Anyone know about numbers for LI South tryouts?

Hey Flat Brim. WE know it’s you. If they played in WSYL is a comical sentence as not many would be eligible otherwise you would be going this sport has hit the bottom
Who is flat brim? I live in LI and was impressed with the ACS team.
the south tryout was 2023,2022,2021 combined. maybe 35-40 kids total. my kid told me it was only 10 2023's, 4 mids, 4 attack, 2 def. not sure the breakdown of the rest of the group
I truly believe most of the kids are on teams that will be playing next weekend and thus they choose not to attend or had practice today. There are also a large number of people who saw the sham job they pulled last year and realized it's a 91 money maker so they decided not to attend.

Spallina is Coaching the Long Island north team, doesn’t matter how may where at tryouts. The team will be stocked with his people, they just didn’t have to come.
Spallina is not coaching he sent email to his team stating that he is not coaching according to what I was told and there were no Bandits there

That’s not what Warrior all American is advertising on one of their social media sites. On March 21, they posted a picture of Spalina and the Warrior coach stating they are the North coaches, along with photos of all the other coaches. Check out insta.... what you are told and what is true are far apart.

You have to take it as true, even online, dopey. It was on warrior all-Americans istag... social media site. So that is what they are promoting a week before their tryouts. If it isn’t true, then they have even more of an problem than no-one coming to tryouts. They flat out lied to everyone or didn’t make a timely correction. Decline numbers are one thing, it’s not just them. Brine has to combine 2023 and 2022 to make a team, only 15 kids showed for the last tryout and they took everyone to fill out roster. Seems warrior may have two problems.

They are a great team, no denying that. But, to be fair, that "stacked" MD team split games with the "stacked" LI teams; each winning a game. Biggest difference is that the MD team was a year older than the LI team. And the MD team had one dominant player; the 14 year old kid from the Hawks. Without him they would have gone 0-2 against LI.
Uhhh yes all this talk about LI teams it's the Long Island board. Go on the Maryland thread and talk about Maryland teams. Yeah real weird people talking LI on the LI thread. You my friend are depriving some small village of a pretty good stunad
The Mid Atlantic team, AKA the Atlantic Coast Stars, would have needed to play in the WSYL in 2016 for all of their players to be eligible. Your comparison is invalid.

The "14 year old kid from the Hawks" actually turned 13 three weeks ago. Same old story with you LI parents. There's no way some kid from Baltimore could actually be better than my kid right now. Kids mature at different times. Don't worry, your kid still has time.

They are a great team, no denying that. But, to be fair, that "stacked" MD team split games with the "stacked" LI teams; each winning a game. Biggest difference is that the MD team was a year older than the LI team. And the MD team had one dominant player; the 14 year old kid from the Hawks. Without him they would have gone 0-2 against LI.


You are right! They are a great “team”! That is why they are successful. They don’t have one dominant player...they are all dominant players! Each contributing to the success of the ACS team. I know it’s hard to believe but every kid and all of the families like eachother and respect one another. You can’t compare the dynamic of this team to a LI team that tears eachother and everyone a part every chance they get. That is why this team will go far and always be the team to beat!
Igloo got slammed. HAHA. Why go after igloo team. Talking about winning or losing against specific teams. You have no clue and probably never played organized ball. The truth will be told soon. JS, AJ, SH and DK are all class act coaches. Some much hatred on this site

Take it easy Hawks Dad. Stay on your own forum and you don't need to worry about getting called out.

Proud ACS Dad - not Hawks Dad. I know the family and the kid well. He's 13 (barely) and is one of the youngest kids on the team. Again - I know it hurts to see a kid out there who is that good. I would echo what the last poster said. Our team has dominant players all over the field. What's better is that they all get along and support each other. You guys should try it.

Iron clad team. You mess with one...you mess with all!
You have to take it as true, even online, dopey. It was on warrior all-Americans istag... social media site. So that is what they are promoting a week before their tryouts. If it isn’t true, then they have even more of an problem than no-one coming to tryouts. They flat out lied to everyone or didn’t make a timely correction. Decline numbers are one thing, it’s not just them. Brine has to combine 2023 and 2022 to make a team, only 15 kids showed for the last tryout and they took everyone to fill out roster. Seems warrior may have two problems.
[/quote]

Brine will have 2 LI teams. They always combined 7/8 - get your facts straight. Warrior is a joke with no competition, Brine has regional teams from all over the country - not just the 91 teams from Florida, NC, and TX.

Ok so you have a combined team, always. That makes the number who showed for the Brine tryout even more alarming. 17 Kids from 2 age groups at the 3nd tryout. The first tryout had maybe 30. How many 7th and 8th grader play travel on Long Island, has to be close to a 1000. Competition can’t be that good when nobody is showing. It’s a great Idea, just needs more work.

I agree - the team is really good from what I saw.
Igloo A and LIE each won a game --- they havent played one another in over a year--- How can you claim who is dominant...
how is igloo is rounding up kids for WSL legit???

So will the Warrior gamers have another tryout or only video tryouts? I can't imagine taking the kids that showed to the tourney.... GB needs LI to show up at the tourney...

They will tell you they had private tryouts and others attended the younger division tryouts because they had conflicts. They already planted that seed at the tryout. I am sure their were
Some good players at the tryout and a few will make it. We will know soon if they post it, it’s been five days already.
WSYL North Qualifier predictions? This weekend.
T minus 48 hours until the first blood is drawn at Cantiauge Park. Thirteen year old lacrosse rock stars will be pulling up their Under Armor in order to brave the driving snow of central Long Island. Bottle tans will run down the face of legendary coaches, leaving strains of orange and tan. Pale skin red headed coaches will be driving their legions into battle against inferior foes. The greatest Midfielder in Long Island history will try to prove his mettle as a u13 coach. The Manhasset/Rockville Center kids will have to leave their Vineyard Vines behind, hoping beyond hope that their Dads do not drink ALL of the hot cocoa. Second teams from the top programs are wishing for a miracle, which can only happen in blizzard conditions. South Shore Daddy's with their tattooed extremities will simply be wearing their usual tank tops and cut-off jeans, as if 35 degree weather was just like a July day at Field 6. Teams from upstate NY will feel like they are at home, destroying any home field advantage the Long Island teams could have hoped for. One could cut the tension with a knife.

Play on young men. Prove everyone wrong. Make sure that all of your team practice, private lessons and wall ball pay off. May the best 4 or is it 6 teams qualify. Fair thee well, my youngsters. It is only snow, rain, sleet, hail, freezing rain, gale force winds. Remember what your PAL coaches told you, "if you don't like the rain, play baseball!"
Were you waiting all week to post that. Sounds well planned. Probably written on monday. Probably tweaked it on Tuesday and Wednesday , typed it on computer this morning and couldn't wait to launch it to the BOTC world today.
So silly ....remember when so and so beat so and so in 1979. Who cares and let it go.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. 13 year old kids. All great teams competing this weekend, may the best team win.

Funny post. I think it characterizes the LI club scene.

Why take a harmless post which was meant in jest and pokes a little fun at LI stereotypes and is factually correct given AJ is arguably the best if not one of the best ever midfielders (forget LI) and be a jerk? I don't think you can help yourself but it is only so funny before your of your fellow dads flips your red solo cup and knocks you on your butt.
How are teams with older kids (LIE, Igloo, S2S) thinking they can qualify for the WSYL? Do they have to leave these kids off for qualifiers? Each one of those teams have major influencers that don't make the cutoff. Not putting a blame on anyone for anything, just curious.
Have any of the teams even been outdoors ?

They are simply playing without any of the kids that don't qualify.

Come on, there are plenty of red cup daddies that want to brag their kid made the AA team... they can’t make a team going to Denver, so they do this. GB knows that LI dads will spend tons of money on lacrosse especially if their kid is a B player. Oh wait, only on a B team because A team politics... SMH

They are simply playing without any of the kids that don't qualify.


If only it were that simple. They are filling those spots with 2022's that fit in the age cutoff. They are well within the rules to do so, so this is not a gripe; however, it kind of goes against what the tourney was supposed to be though, doesn't it? This was about playing teams without all of the holdback issues, but now there will be, at minimum, 4 teams (the aforementioned, plus Legacy) from LI alone (who knows what the rest of the North teams are doing) that are bringing in 8th graders to try to win. Also, the rules clearly state that all players on the qualifier roster must play with the team in at least 2 other tournaments besides the qualifier and the WSYL. I highly doubt that any these teams will do that considering they would need to play in the 2022 divisions of those tournaments. Before you jump down my throat saying "sorry your kid isn't good enough to go to Denver", he will be going. His team is the 2nd or 3rd best in the grade and his team is bringing on extra players.

I'm sure there is enough depth on those three teams to replace the 1 or 2 kids that are not age qualified. Hope that settles your curiosity.

Stop the whining & complaining. First, you wanted an age based tourney , now you want an age & grade tourney , eventually you'll want an age , grade , height & weight tourney. Stop looking for excuses as to why your sons' team lost.

Before you jump down my throat saying "sorry your kid isn't good enough to go to Denver", he will be going. His team is the 2nd or 3rd best in the grade and his team is bringing on extra players.


You don't get it....

Please elaborate.

They are simply playing without any of the kids that don't qualify.

I'm sure there is enough depth on those three teams to replace the 1 or 2 kids that are not age qualified. Hope that settles your curiosity.


C'mon, Dad. Your team is stacking its roster with 22's to make up for the players that are too old. And with the exception of the Bandits, all of the other top teams are carrying 3-4 kids who don't make it.

Stacking it's roster ? Like I said - 1 or 2 kids. Seems like you're already looking for excuses if your sons' team gets beat.

Suprised they had enough to field a team. I'll be shocked if more than 14 kids are actually signed up.


Come on, there are plenty of daddies that want to brag their kid made the AA team... they can’t make a team going to Denver, so they do this. GB knows that LI dads will spend tons of money on lacrosse especially if their kid is a B player. Oh wait, only on a B team because A team politics... SMH



I guess we know your son is on a B team.. With the kids they took, it should be the Warrior Not-All-American Games...

If only it were that simple. They are filling those spots with 2022's that fit in the age cutoff. They are well within the rules to do so, so this is not a gripe; however, it kind of goes against what the tourney was supposed to be though, doesn't it? This was about playing teams without all of the holdback issues, but now there will be, at minimum, 4 teams (the aforementioned, plus Legacy) from LI alone (who knows what the rest of the North teams are doing) that are bringing in 8th graders to try to win. Also, the rules clearly state that all players on the qualifier roster must play with the team in at least 2 other tournaments besides the qualifier and the WSYL. I highly doubt that any these teams will do that considering they would need to play in the 2022 divisions of those tournaments.

It's an age based tournament.. end of conversation. If you want to gripe/ not gripe look what the other regions are doing with clubs having tryouts for WSYL only teams.
North will send 6 teams from this weekend
Igloo,s2s,91x2,express,trueblue... prob PT too
With the way this winter has gone there isn’t going to be much that can be made from this weekend. Most teams haven’t even been outside it’ll be interesting but I know that all these teams will look much better in a few months

Speak for yourself! How do you know which teams have and have not been outside yet??
I am confused- there are only a very few, very young for their grade 2022’s that would make the age cut off for WSYL. That doesn’t make any sense.

Was never a true age based tournament. It was a concept which has been corrupted. How many years has the Age cutoff switched? and Why did it move in different years.

Exactly, my 2022er is born in October and would play in a second. He is not. Be he can. Why? It's not grade based, it's actually the fairest tourney out there. In fact, I am shocked that all clubs don't have a separate team. It's another revenue stream. Sorry you can't debate it. If a team is flowing the rules, it's done. Conversation over. Just like when NLF or Millon holds their national tourney it's grade and rosters will be slightly different. And any planned 8th grade repeater is now a 2023, then he he plays in the WYSL or US Lax nationals in August as a U13. And after all this... 91 and Spallina aren't losing this year.

It could happen. They've lost before. They're not Crush. Odds are very much in their favor to win it all - but they aren't unbeatable.

And you hate it don't you! Exposes all the older boys who are using the system to look bigger/better/faster when really they're just older. Those 22's who are on age 23's are the real studs and I'm glad to see them have a chance to compete on age.
Some interesting results out there so far. Lots of blowouts.

Age based.....seems appropriate to me that anyone born after the cutoff should have the chance to participate. My sons team did not fair well....oh well.

There were many teams that didn't do well today. The top teams were on top and everyone else proved they were out of their league. Express and Igloo B teams shouldn't have bothered. I am a little surprised at the Warriors. The Leg a C dsd that was beating his chest will have to come up with a good excuse for their performance today.
I personally think the express 22 kids they added puts them over the top as the best team. They are huge
And a friend of my cousins neighbor just gave me the winning powerball #s

And that's why they are playing 22 even though they are the same general age as our kids. They are the true D1 athletes, assuming they keep growing of course
What??????

Lol! Guy, they're playing 2022 because they're in 8th grade and graduating in 2022! You're hysterical! Listen, my son's team brought in 22's also, I'm not criticizing, but let's be real. Teams that don't take advantage of the age difference don't stand a shot in this tourney! My kid is a September birthday and if he played next year (he won't) he'd be a monster! Lol!

I dunno. I heard him tell the Bandits that not one of them had the potential of Crush so they better work harder than Crush. True statement that he said it and his words were on point. They're still a great team but they will have to work hard to win.

It does when you never make room for better players because you’re loyalty to your current players that can’t play gets in the way.

100% true.
I have read a lot of back and forth on here about True Blue. But, my God, they have three of the craziest coaches I have even seen in a chikd’s Sporting event. Non stop screaming at the top of their lungs, directed at their player, other team and refs. They were literally on the feild half of the time screaming. One coach kept running half way to the cage, screaming. There was no call the ref made that was correct in their eyes and the other team should have been man down the entire game according to them. . It was pretty shocking to see what was written on here in real life.

My 2023 plays 2022 all the time. And he will be graduating in 2023. You might be right about those kids but some kids choose to play up.

It's a one-year age window for eligibility - you can't really make an argument that it isn't "age-based"!

100% true.


Now add daddy coaches into the mix.
Curious why anyone still pays big bucks to have their kids play on the big name b teams. Might as well stick to pal after this weekend’s performance. JMHO
No surprises today. Bandits, Express, Igloo and S2s ranking 1-4 in that order. Primetime proved to be a serious contender and earned the 5th seed.
Personally, I am over the Bandits. Let them sacrifice everything in their lives to be the best of the best (which they are for now). I actually hope they win in Denver, just to make everything they have lost out on in the rest of their lives mean something. They showed up today as usual; they were awesome, polished, and flawless. While the rest of the top teams were finding their barings, the Bandits were honed to July accuracy. We all know that it does not come without sacrifice. And we all know that at the end of the day, this all means nothing. This is 7th grade Lacrosse- the new normal.

The kids and parents love him. Why do you guys care so much?
Great weekend of lacrosse. Saw some really competitive games... Now you can see why all of the previous winners came out of the Long Island Region. Play on age and no region comes close!
Said no one ever...
Not a 90+1 parent but hey are legit, no team at the 2023 age group has a shot. Express A with all there cheating ways will always do well but still can't beat 90+1. Igloo looked pretty good thought they would play better and S2S is better then I thought. My sons team competed played in every game went 3-3. They absolutely can't compete with the aforementioned teams. Good luck to all during the travel season. I would 100% be surprised if anyone beats 90+1.
Happy for the Cold Sprong Harbor Igloo Dad thay the finished 2nd

S2S is doing something right. So impressed with them this weekend. I am curious to see if they can make something great out of their second team and other age groups.

Oh, sorry, you think people care. That’s sweet. Nobody cares don’t worry. I think it’s just the shock of watching grown men, not yell, but lose complete control of their facilities during a kids game. But, carry on, love them. Till the next sideline show they put on.
Great behavior by the parent is S2S challenging igloo parents and the director of the tournament to a fight
I am very happy to see people giving credit were credit is due. The top 2 teams are the top 2 teams. 3,-6 is "any given Sunday". Some teams have 7th grade players ineligible due to the ever changing birth cut off, and it hurts them big time. Even if they are NOT "hold backs" (I hate that term), USA Lacrosse needs to get a hold of this showcase disaster with no real rules. But, LI has serious talent, even though no college coach is looking at them at this age.
Good Luck this season. Enjoy watching your son make friends and develop skills.

The igloo coach said something uncalled for to the parents son.
Congrats and good luck to all the teams that qualified! But for me me I can't justify spending 6 grand when we all know what team is gonna win it all!
It would of been nice if our team was more competitive this weekend during the tournament, but honestly we just don't have the talent nor the commitment to be one of the top teams, which made the weekend even more miserable. On top of it feeling like mid February opposed to spring outdoors. Nonetheless, I would of been really pissed if a miracle had happened, some how we placed 6th and I was sitting here making reservations for Denver on July 4th weekend to watch 7th grade lacrosse and deal with the non sense of some parents, only for our team to get knocked out of the running by the second day.

If you knew your team didn't have the talent why would your coach even put the kids through it. Hoping for some miracle? Why as a parent if you were against it, would let their kid play? You have choices here.

So true. It's so annoying to listen to him. He thinks he's a D1 coach. He really needs his ego checked.
Think his ego got checked this weekend. Luckily they didn't have to play Igloo, Express or Bandits. Maybe now all the "we are a top AA team" stuff can go away. You're a good team but to compare yourselves to the top of this age group is crazy.

If you knew your team didn't have the talent why would your coach even put the kids through it. Hoping for some miracle? Why as a parent if you were against it, would let their kid play? You have choices here.


You put your team into a tournament like this even though there is not chance of winning because the team gets to play against really good competition. For some it can be a deflating experience. For a coach, child or parent it is an opportunity to measure themselves against the best to see what they are doing well and where they need to improve. Some coaches walk away saying "we did okay but we need to improve on this or that in order to be competitive". Some kids walk away thinking " I was able to stop the best attack player or I beat a great defender". This gives the kid the confidence to continue playing and working to be better. It's not always about winning. If you are not one of the top six you can choose to look at the weekend as a failure or you can take the small victories achieved and build on it for your kids future success. Winning is great but if you never lose you will not learn anything.

If it was warmer out we would of been able to run our offense better, then everyone would have seen what TB could really do, watch out for TB when the weather conditions are more favorable.

What!? What happened to start this? Parents need to relax!


The igloo coach said something uncalled for to the parents son.




No surprise there. Parents would be appalled if they heard half of what he says to the kids on his own sideline

6 grand for your family. Don’t forget now all the players will be chipping in to pay full freight for their coaches airfare, hotel, meals etc More like 10 or 12 grand when all the bills are paid. And don’t forget the scholarship kids......
Outlaws is officially a "B" team. They really need to stop engaging the kids in this type of beating.

There were too many balls on the end lines. They prepared for not have any extra balls on end lines. Also it was cloudy out, they prepared for having the son in their eyes the whole game. Those are some of their regular tournament excuses.

Which coach was it?
So are they taking 6 teams from the North? What were the final rankings?

That's one theory, but if all coaches thought that way, obviously all don't, there would of been many more teams at the qualifier. Future success is only speculation, but in the here and now, I can guarantee the six top teams were; committed, prepared, made changes during tryouts, and sold on their coach's overall plan as a team. But don't lead your group into battle if you know they will be over matched, if so in the end your the only one to blame.

One thing I heard again and again this weekend that it was great to see REAL 7th graders playing against one another. Every team had some big kids, small kids and a lot of medium sized kids. No old kids tilting things. It showed which teams and programs rely on their holdbacks. A few teams surprised with how well they did while others were overrated. No doubt best 6 qualified. No doubt best 2 were in the finals. No doubt best won.

If your kid played in this tourney i don't see how you don't lobby for age restrictions in club lacrosse. Why go back to incorporating holdbacks this summer for these clubs?

Game of the day: PT vs S2S.

As for overly-aggro coaches, every team seemed to have them. I don't mind it. Top teams all have multiple coaches pushing these kids and the kids respond to it. I think some coaches say/yell/scream many more negative things than actually coach and they seemed to be on teams who didn't qualify. Their frustration consumed them and they come off as pathetic. Those are the wannabes who need a reality check cuz their team record reflected their team's reality.
Agree with everything you said as well as original posting... PT vs S2S was a great game to watch!

What agenda are you pushing? You are not making sense and you are unnecessarily disparaging programs and coaches where the team didn't make it as a qualifier. I am happy for you that your kid made the qualifier and I can compliment you without having to put an individual or a program down. Up until your post, I have been pleasantly surprised in most of the comments. Some comments about TB coach being aggressive but they are probably the first to agree and the parents on that team don't seem to mind so its not your problem. You make these generic comments that are dumb and demonstrative of your inability to put together an intelligent thought. If you can't add value to the discussion then stay away.

While it was exponentially better than playing MD, FLA, PA and Mass teams with their 50% holdback rosters, let's be honest, very few teams there were completely made up of 7th graders (REAL 7th graders). There were teams constructed for this tournament and there were 7th grade team. Express had multiple 8th graders, Igloo did, Legacy did, Prime Time did, Preds, Eclipse and Express North did. And, all of the 8th graders on the teams were impact players that don't normally play on those teams. With that being said, they were all well within the rules to bring those players on the team (provided they play in at least 2 tournaments that they are entered into the 2022 bracket before the WSYL in Denver). Therein lies the problem. No event is going to be completely legit until the sport goes completely age-based. For example, are those teams playing those rosters all season in grade based tourneys? Are they playing in NLF events? Laxfest? Is that justifiable? Or is it cheating because they're 2022's playing in a 2023 bracket? It was definitely a step in the right direction though; of that we can all agree; however, more needs to be done. Hopefully more people will recognize the benefits of age-based events moving forward.

6 grand for your family. Don’t forget now all the players will be chipping in to pay full freight for their coaches airfare, hotel, meals etc More like 10 or 12 grand when all the bills are paid. And don’t forget the scholarship kids......

If your kids team had qualified , I'm sure you would be all in for Denver.

Please do a better job fact checking. Not all those teams have 8th graders, it really delegitimizes your argument.

Express did not have multiple 8th graders on their roster - get your facts straight - there were two (2) 8th graders. You got an age based tourney now you want an age/grade based tourney . Stop complaining & making excuses as to why your sons' team can't compete.

Who cares. Its not grade based. It age based. You can have a 10th grader on the roster if he meets the age.

I gather your sons' team lost to some of the above teams & you need an excuse for their poor performance.

One player would be singular. Two players would be multiple. And, those two were the best players on the field. I'm perfectly fine with the way my son's team performed and how is has performed in the past. I'm not making excuses for losses. But to those parents claiming that it was great to see true 7th graders playing against one another, they are likely avoiding the reality that many teams there were playing with multiple 8th graders. For the record, I'm 100% in favor of age based lacrosse. But, when the majority of the teams in the area are grade based, it's very difficult to do. Like I said, if those teams now contain 8th graders because they are brought in to compete in the WSYL, then they can't play in 2023 brackets at tournaments this season. Are you willing to play in 2022 brackets until July 4th and concede the majority of the tournaments this season to compete in Denver? Or will those teams just play their 8th graders against 7th graders and say it's fine because there are "only 2"? Will that be acceptable in your eyes because it fits your agenda? Again, I'm not, nor was I before, complaining about the teams. I'm explaining the constraints of the current system.

Achually, you just proved his point correct with your reply. You are saying 2 players, that defines “multiple”, which is his point. 2 2022’s on a roster can make a huge difference. Think running them both at midfield for half the game. CAn help you control and dictate the game.

If you knew your team didn't have the talent why would your coach even put the kids through it. Hoping for some miracle? Why as a parent if you were against it, would let their kid play? You have choices here.


You put your team into a tournament like this even though there is not chance of winning because the team gets to play against really good competition. For some it can be a deflating experience. For a coach, child or parent it is an opportunity to measure themselves against the best to see what they are doing well and where they need to improve. Some coaches walk away saying "we did okay but we need to improve on this or that in order to be competitive". Some kids walk away thinking " I was able to stop the best attack player or I beat a great defender". This gives the kid the confidence to continue playing and working to be better. It's not always about winning. If you are not one of the top six you can choose to look at the weekend as a failure or you can take the small victories achieved and build on it for your kids future success. Winning is great but if you never lose you will not learn anything.


That's one theory, but if all coaches thought that way, obviously all don't, there would of been many more teams at the qualifier. Future success is only speculation, but in the here and now, I can guarantee the six top teams were; committed, prepared, made changes during tryouts, and sold on their coach's overall plan as a team. But don't lead your group into battle if you know they will be over matched, if so in the end your the only one to blame.


That is the dumbest thing I have heard. This is youth lacrosse and not a battle. If that were the case then most college teams shouldn't bother putting a program together because they know they won't make the NCAA tournament. You probably shouldn't bother going to work because I can pretty much g'tee you are not the top 6 in what you do. Mind your own business and don't raise our sons for us. Our kids may not be on the top 6 teams and that is okay don't tell my kid to give up and to measure his ability based on one tournament.

By the way, i have learned over the years, the biggest instigators on this site tend to be parents of kids that don't get much playing time on the top teams. This sounds like you and your justification for keeping your son on a top team even though he is not playing that much. You may point to a ton of stats and say he scored x # of goals this tournament but it was probably garbage time. There are going to be kids on the teams that did not qualify that will blow the doors off your kid, if not now then in a couple years because they are actually playing.

There are so many flaws with this post, grammar notwithstanding, that it pained me to read it. Essentially, you're (note the spelling) saying that if a team can't win then it has no business playing? Your (see the difference in the spelling?) ignorance is truly mind boggling. I'm assuming that your son plays for the Bandits, because otherwise, by your rationale, you would not have been in that tournament. If that is in fact true, I certainly hope he's not one of those tiny kids with the fat, short dads, because they are going nowhere in the long term. You should record and enjoy every moment of "the here and now", because you won't have much more. That team is a system of players with superb coaching. Most of the players are replaceable part of the machine. The lefty attack and the faceoff middie are 80% responsible for the team's success... the other 10% is credited to the coaching. Just like Crush, a whole bunch of the small kids will be left uncommitted when the wheel stops turning.

And if he doesn't play for the Bandits, then maybe you need to reevaluate your theory, because it's idiotic.

Bring them on, cant wait.
Incredible amount of TB negativity after this tournament. Teams that beat TB couldn’t be bothered posting about what’s in the rear view, which leads me to believe it’s sour grapes from teams they beat or former players that couldn’t get minutes. The best teams won. No doubt about it. Nobody is making excuses from this team, so focus on your own inadequacies and stop with the nonsense.

Scroll back a few pages and read what the TB dads were spewing. People like that make it easy to dislike a team. When they get showed up like they did this weekend it has a little bit of satisfaction attached. As for being in the rear view....the top teams don't care. They are going to be winning in Denver! TB's ship has sailed.
My "old kid" is one of the smallest on his team....no puberty yet and a "real 7th grader".....but sorry son....your aged out. AGAIN, US Lacrosse needs to get its ducks in a row. Decide once and for all how to govern the youth program.....

TB parents seemed to think they were going to dominate and be at the top for Denver. Funny to watch these days beat their chests only to get knocked down when reality hits. I am sure they will be back to beat their chests again when they dominate the B bracket.

Good Luck this season. Enjoy watching your son make friends and develop skills.

-------------
One thing I heard again and again this weekend that it was great to see REAL 7th graders playing against one another. Every team had some big kids, small kids and a lot of medium sized kids. No old kids tilting things. It showed which teams and programs rely on their holdbacks. A few teams surprised with how well they did while others were overrated. No doubt best 6 qualified. No doubt best 2 were in the finals. No doubt best won.

If your kid played in this tourney i don't see how you don't lobby for age restrictions in club lacrosse. Why go back to incorporating holdbacks this summer for these clubs?

Game of the day: PT vs S2S.

As for overly-aggro coaches, every team seemed to have them. I don't mind it. Top teams all have multiple coaches pushing these kids and the kids respond to it. I think some coaches say/yell/scream many more negative things than actually coach and they seemed to be on teams who didn't qualify. Their frustration consumed them and they come off as pathetic. Those are the wannabes who need a reality check cuz their team record reflected their team's reality.


While it was exponentially better than playing MD, FLA, PA and Mass teams with their 50% holdback rosters, let's be honest, very few teams there were completely made up of 7th graders (REAL 7th graders). There were teams constructed for this tournament and there were 7th grade team. Express had multiple 8th graders, Igloo did, Legacy did, Prime Time did, Preds, Eclipse and Express North did. And, all of the 8th graders on the teams were impact players that don't normally play on those teams. With that being said, they were all well within the rules to bring those players on the team (provided they play in at least 2 tournaments that they are entered into the 2022 bracket before the WSYL in Denver). Therein lies the problem. No event is going to be completely legit until the sport goes completely age-based. For example, are those teams playing those rosters all season in grade based tourneys? Are they playing in NLF events? Laxfest? Is that justifiable? Or is it cheating because they're 2022's playing in a 2023 bracket? It was definitely a step in the right direction though; of that we can all agree; however, more needs to be done. Hopefully more people will recognize the benefits of age-based events moving forward.

Express did not have multiple 8th graders on their roster - get your facts straight - there were two (2) 8th graders. You got an age based tourney now you want an age/grade based tourney . Stop complaining & making excuses as to why your sons' team can't compete.


Achually, you just proved his point correct with your reply. You are saying 2 players, that defines “multiple”, which is his point. 2 2022’s on a roster can make a huge difference. Think running them both at midfield for half the game. CAn help you control and dictate the game.


The problem with that argument is that each state has a different cut off for grades. NY is Dec 1st, Maryland and Mass are Sep 1st, It does not matter the grader the kid is in, only his birthday and ability. Having a kid born in September 04 (2023 in MD and Mass) and a Nov 05(NY) is huge, but not unfair. NY State Ed is the bad guy here.. Do what US Soccer did, birth year only.. I believe hockey already does this. This tournament is the only way to get a true age based national champion. Its 7th grade so not really that important.

TB is definitely not bottom tier, we just had a bad 2nd day, beside the top 4 we are one of the top teams.

I'm not sure I understand. Is your son a "real 7th grader"? As in, was he born between 12/1/04 and 11/30/05? Because in NY, that's the criteria for 7th grade. If he is a holdback, that's fine, but he wouldn't be considered a true 7th grader. I know that people on LI, for the most part, don't hold their kids back for lax. They hold them back because they are not physically, emotionally or developmentally ready to begin school. It's extremely common and the only people who have a problem with it are crazy lax parents. For the record, I'm with you 100% on ending this garbage. Find a criteria and stick to it. The problem is that people are looking to US Lacrosse to dictate and uphold the rules, but hey have as much authority as my grandma.
I saw on the MD board that people were trashing a top team, Annapolis Hawks, for switching to a zone defense. What teams run a zone now? What are your feelings playing for a team that runs a zone and playing against them? I think Empire, Igloo, TB run a zone. Bandits too, but I think they run a backer zone. What are your thoughts?
I think you should worry more about the Math and English portion of your son's education rather than scouting out 7th grade lacrosse defensive schemes.

In a few years ALL this crap will be a thing of the past! Nothing is going to change, why would it. Plenty of money is being made by the Lax Gods...

Thanks for the advice, but he's already doing great in school. I was just trying to post something that I was curious about and that didn't involve trashing teams, parents or players. I'm hoping to hear some pros and cons and engage in a respectful exchange of opinions. Maybe you should follow my lead.

Triangle and Diamond Zone is the best.

Bandits are the only team I know to consistently run a zone.

That's why they call us the Bandits because we steal your thunder.
World Series pays each team $3k for Coaches (combined) to cover flights. Don’t be duped into paying for them.
What if your son was born in another state, with a different cut-off. And he was delayed when he was 4. So you say as a parent "lets take our chances for him socially and academically". Then sports come into the picture and he plays with his friends for 6 years and now.....BAM....Can't play with your team..!!!
Beating a dead horse US Lax......Get with the program and go to birth year. Ugh!!!! WSYL....Putting emphasis on???
Bandits played Man vs express. My son did not have a chance to play them but we came back for the championship and they were man to man. I have seen them in the past play both
This just goes to show how pathetic Long Island is. How in the world can a player be in 7th grade, playing 2023 brackets and be born before 9/1/04. Literally holding the kid back 2 years?? Disgusting LI Trash. Play your son on age and see how he matches up. Fools

A tight zone defense will definitely keep the scores down. It's just far more difficult to put the ball in the net when 1/2 the team is standing in front. The drawback is that it's a less exciting game to watch. If a team doesn't drop passes and backs up shots they can control the ball for 10 minutes at a clip. I think the defenders still need to be athletic, though. I would not say that it hurts their development as players in the least.

Probably gets funded by the $300 registration fee paid by each player

A kid born on 8/31/04 is a 2 year holdback but a kid born on 9/1/04 is ok.?

Lol! Guy, they're playing 2022 because they're in 8th grade and graduating in 2022! You're hysterical! Listen, my son's team brought in 22's also, I'm not criticizing, but let's be real. Teams that don't take advantage of the age difference don't stand a shot in this tourney! My kid is a September birthday and if he played next year (he won't) he'd be a monster! Lol!


Why would you not let your son play IF he is of the right AGE. It is an age based tournament and a good one. Your lying Mr.Monster

All players must be born on or after 9/1/2004. Each player will be required to submit a copy of their birth certificate.

Unless you are submitting false birth certificates...

If my son's team finished with a 3 - 3 record I would not be making snide remarks about any other team. Bottom line - those top four teams were more talented , better coached & worked harder in the off season than the other teams. PS: your son's team did not compete, they were not ready or prepared for this tournament & you can blame that on your own organization. Don't belittle what any of those teams accomplished.

I agree with this. Weird how some responses to this post get all bitter and picking at little things. Bandits rule because of great team play, Express no doubt #2, followed by strong S2S and Igloo and PT crews. They all will beat down the next level teams in the area. As for "cheating", clear the guy meant more about their rep and style (pulling big players from wherever) than actually cheating. And if his kid's team went 3-3, they are good but not best of the best, and he admits that. Others should do the same.

Yeah right where are they ? I belong to then on a young team and they are sub par organization. Charge high prices , add extra tournaments then hand cuff you to pay and very tight what they give as of uniforms and equipment as a team (Still haven’t received helmet yet) They have 1 good team in there organization and it’s the 2024 Taz that’s about it.

Leave Legacy alone. They had a bad day at the qualifiers. Played True Blue very tough & lost in a very tough game ( 7 - 6 ).
Comical
Big 5 team wouldn’t have qualified in North and they are ahead of S2S....when you can only beat bad teams 3-0 time to think of it is worth going.

Thank You

I know what the rules are and the age cutoff, however Express brought at least 2 players from 2022 to play in the qualifier, to me thats bush league. Don't know if any other teams did the same, there a good team, no need to bring kids from the 2022 team down. Im not looking to bash anyone, they are the second best team on the island followed by Igloo and S2S. I watched the Bandits S2S first half and the Bandits dominated in every aspect of the game, IMHO there is no team on LI that can compete with them. If Express and Igloo play them 10 times they may get lucky and win one highly doubtful but a possibility. Good luck to all the kids in the upcoming school/travel seasons and good luck to the 4 teams that made it to Denver, keep the Championship on LI.

You don't really believe Express was the only team to use age qualified 2022's.
You don't really believe Express was the only team to use age qualified 2022's.

No I don't, I just know Express 100% did. I don't want to accuse other teams unless I know for sure. You would be naive to think not I just don't know for sure.
It's an age based tourney. As with all age based sports (is soccer, hockey, baseball,AAU hoops, there will be young kids from the grade above that qualify. There is nothing bush league about it. It is actually what is suppose to happen as opposed to the current normal where kids that are 1 or 2 years older than the standard age beat up in the smaller an less develop, standard age kids.
True Blue didn’t qualify? I guess Walmart will be open July 4th after all, since the entire Walmart cashier staff will not be heading to Denver with their kids.

School ball is school ball. You are going to be mixed in with players of all levels buts its good preparation for the travel team season.
My 7th grader is the oldest, so this is the first school ball experience. He loves playing, but likes travel better. The weird thind is that 7th and 8th are combined and play in the same game. The better kids play 1st and 3rd and the less experienced kids pay 2nd and 4th. There are no cuts, so there are close to 50 kids on the team.

Unfortunately some middle school programs have synchronized teams for the those two grades while other schools have a separate team for each grade. It's tough to get a lot of playing time and this is one of the reasons club ball got so big. Does your son play on a travel team?

Yes, he does. He likes travel ball better. I don’t see any benefit to a combined team. Reduced playing time for everyone. Some kids don’t even play until the end of 4th quarter. As a parent with no interest in the team other than my son, it’s baseball painful waiting until it’s his time to get back on the field. Having an A and B team seems so much more logical for everyone involved.

In a perfect world, they would not combine the teams but due to schools budgets, I think they cannot afford having 2 teams. It is not only paying the coaches but providing the players with equipment and the travel to the away games. Just have your son use the time on the middle school team to work on his off hand and weaknesses in his game and look at it as a way to prepare for Travel Ball.

very true. regardless they split games, so good competition against each other. glad the weather worked out for everyone on sunday. who's going to andy forsberg?
Do you think Outlaws, True Blue, or Legacy should play in "A" divisions after the beating this weekend? Is it right for the defense to get bombarded, and the offense to never touch the ball? Money grab for club and no game time for the kids. Thoughts?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. They go down and beat on some of the bad teams and people will tell them to move up.
How did that Legacy team beat the Warriors at the World Series Qualifier... They got beat up and almost lost to the bottom 91 team....

My son has played both of these teams. I can agree that the S2S coach may be crazy. Haven't seen the express coach like that ever.
My son has played for both and they are terrific coaches who care about their players!!

The ‘bottom’ 91 team would beat the Warriors.

91 Spartans lost to Legacy 8-7, 91 Warriors lost to Legacy 8-5.

The Spartans are better coached and hungrier - Warriors have never lived up to their own hype...

Don't know the coach for the Spartans, and I'm sure he's a nice guy and does his best for the team. But to say his team is better coached compared to the Warriors is a blunder on your behalf. What hype are you talking about? Now if you son would've made the cut to play on the Warriors, I bet you would be singing a different tune. I think you are too caught-up in your own hype.

They brought in 4 '22's for the qualifier. They have since left and Legacy is back to their old selves.

I would have figured that because nobody showed up to their tryouts, and now all of a sudden they have a team?

They lost a lot of players from last year so maybe they are in rebuilding mode.

Anyone who needs to have 8th graders play against 7th graders is a total person bag.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then that's every AA team in 2023. They all have numerous holdbacks, plus 2 of the AA teams brought down 22's to play in Qualifier. They were legal according to the cutoff, however they are not on the 2023 team they are on the 2022 teams. Whatever, this is beating a dead horse this is how it is like it or not.

Parents allowed that to happen and they still didn't qualify... That's ridiculous!
tell that to express and 91.. Also every team in Maryland
Team 91 now with a National team?

The National teams are a joke. Look at the scores from the 2023 Dukes team at NCAA Futures this wknd: they outscored their opponents 48-6. How does destroying other teams help their kids get better? What does it say about Sportsmanship when you’re blowing teams out by 10 or more just to put a picture on your website? Stay classy Dukes: we’ll see you at WSYL, oh wait, all your kids are older so you couldn’t even field a true U13 team. LOSERS!

Its an age based tournament. Anyone born after 9/1/2004 is eligible. Next year, it will be anyone born after 9/1/2005, and so on. How is this unfair? It doesn't matter what grade the kid is in. Lets say you have two kids both born on Oct 1, 2004. One is in 8th grade (where he should be under NY school rules), and one is in 7th grade (probably because he started kindergarten late). How does the 8th grader have an advantage?

This is why the grade-based culture of lacrosse is bad for the sport. In sports which are age based (mostly every other sport except lacrosse) no one cares what grade a kid is in. All they care about is his age, since age is far and away the single greatest determining factor concerning a child's physical development. But yet in lacrosse you have stunads who will say "hey, that kid who was born on Oct 1, 2004 shouldn't be on the field with my kid who was also born on Oct 1, 2004 because that kid is in 8th grade." You might as well be complaining about the color of the kid's shoe laces. Such complaint will have the same amount of merit.
AS tryouts will take place in July for next year, I was wondering if there are any clubs out there as good as 91, Shore 2 Shore, Express, Igloo?

I appreciate any positive feedback.

What’s even more embarrassing, durning one of his teams beat downs against LI, the owner of Dukes was getting into a cursing match with a parent and challenging him to a fight. But not to be outdone, he went over to the other teams coaches and started yelling at them. But, talk to his coaches, nah. They whole weekend they kept their starters in and barely played their bench. Their coaches kept yelling to attack the cage. Really winning 23-3 and still have your first string in. This G guy is a piece of work. He made a complete mockery of travel Lacrosse this weekend at all divisions. A lot blame has to go to NCAA Futures tournament because they allow them to come back every year.

Any feedback on these teams? Also, if there no openings, what club would be next to look at?
Is Summer face off for all the unknown teams? My sons team talked about entering but decided it wasn't worth it. Mamas Boyz and the GC team are the only team I recognize. Anyone know if these are new teams?

They subbed their kids when they were killing our team. It was definitely men vs. boys but they subbed OK.

All of the teams you mentioned have had success. Some at both the A&B levels. I think any team would take on a rockstar. If tour kid is a middle of the road player be open to one of their B teams. The only B team in this group that we haven't seen on action yet is S2S. They have only played publically a few times. My sons team played them in the fall and beat us. They looked pretty good considering it is a brand new team. All the other have established A&B teams for awhile. Think about location, some travel more than others. Who does your kid play for now or is he new to travel? Be careful.of the clubs that make money grab teams. While Express has some very successful teams, the 3rd 2023 team is terrible. Pure money grab.

The 2023 bracket are all established teams. Icon is out of southwest Nassau, Mamas, 91 3rd team is new this year, GC, Sachem North (probably PAL type team) E3 is from the Hamptons, Empire B and Express C have both been around for a couple years with little success.

Haven't seen S2S yet because I think they don't have enough players to field a team. Although, it would probably be a better choice to tryout this summer if there aren't enough players already. However, I have seen teams fall apart because of no commitment from management or coaches for their B team. Parents walk away. Find out how the coaches and management treat the teams before you tryout.
Another aspect to consider regarding coaching, does the coach or any of his assistant coach(s) have kids on the team that plays your kids position. Not in all cases, but could definitely be something to consider steering away from. The teams mentioned above, I don't think their is too much of a turn over each year with their A & B teams, as with others. That said, at this time of the game, your son should try to find a team and remain there.

They fielded a team. I saw them in a tournament in the fall. They came in second. Coach opted not to play the championship game because it was freezing out. The other team had won all 3 games, so he felt they earned it. So unless kids have bailed since then they should have a team.
Unless you are on a legit A team, find a place with good coaches and good parents where your son can get good playing time. Right now, our kids need all the field time they can get. This is when their lacrosse IQ can really begin to take off. Standing on the sidelines, not seeing time will do little to make them better. Also, you spend a lot of time with the parents. Find a group that fits your social game.

This tourney was a joke. GC should have won the whole thing. Should have been GC and Mamas boyz in the finals. GC blew out every team they played in the bracket, they played the "harder" teams as well. Icon played the weakest teams in the bracket and barely beat them. When they were faced with a semi- legit team they got blown out of the water. Kills me how they rig these things.

Saw all the S2S teams today except the 2023 team which fell apart.
That's funny because none of the s2s teams played today. So maybe you meant yesterday? But I guess you didn't mean the 2023 teams, either team. Let's take it s step further- if you saw every s2s team play yesterday then, you must have been busy on Saturday at Andy Forsberg. But wait, the 2023 teams played on Sunday, not saturday.

Maybe you have more than one kid so you were there both days. Maybe you should pay more attention to their games instead of grinding whatever axe you have against a team that hasn't even started their tourney season yet. They (my sons team) have a tournament every week from June 9th through mid July. Come on down and see them play and give your imagination a rest. Good luck to all the rest of the summer.

Probably a jealous club, but I'm sure if S2S was built with one team to where they are now, then this new team might be very good. Who knows, we'll see on BOTC. I saw on the website that Hills West Varsity coach is their coach. No daddy coach. They're going to have to produce.
Express had a great joint practice with S2S A team yesterday. Parents were great and coaches were amazing. Coaching boys and making them better. That is what it should be about. Hope to keep doing this in the future.

I agree. Too many teams at all skill levels not to take advantage of things like this.

The 2023 bracket are all established teams. Icon is out of southwest Nassau, Mamas, 91 3rd team is new this year, GC, Sachem North (probably PAL type team) E3 is from the Hamptons, Empire B and Express C have both been around for a couple years with little success.


This tourney was a joke. GC should have won the whole thing. Should have been GC and Mamas boyz in the finals. GC blew out every team they played in the bracket, they played the "harder" teams as well. Icon played the weakest teams in the bracket and barely beat them. When they were faced with a semi- legit team they got blown out of the water. Kills me how they rig these things.


Yeah that was horrible... Icon was average and Mamas played crappy competition. Sure they look great against week competition. GC would have killed them. When they play true A teams, they lose badly.. Check out the Foxbourough tournament stats if you disagree. Without GC or MB, the other 6 teams were a lot closer in skill level. E3, Icon and 90+1 were all about equal and the Sachem, Empire and Express teams were just horrible, no offense on them..
I have not seen the 2023 S2S team this year but I see they are playing in the Adrenaline Platinum Cup in Delaware this weekend. Looks like some good teams will be represented with Igloo, Brother Love, Denver Elite, FCA Md among a few others. This should be a good test for S2S; Igloo and BL looked very good this Spring.

I think S2S has an easy draw and should win their bracket walking away. It is a talented team and ranked in the top 10 in the WSYL.

Icon barely beat the Express team. The 91+1 team isn't much better. GC and Mammas were the only ones with a shot in this tourney. It was a complete C bracket.
The NLF this w/e has a lot of B teams coming in. express will beat bandits like a drum in the finals. None of the other teams have a chance
With the exception of laxachusetts black.
Don’t forget your red cups
Hey you get what you pay for. Next year the price will increase like everything else in the NY metro area. Everyone will be around 3k next season mark my word. It’s all about what’s good for you and your child , how far you want to travel for practice and the right coach. I rather have a great coach with a child on the team because he’s all in. Been on a team with a Hs coach and was a complete mess when he’s there or not in the spring and really didn’t care.

Very true. My son's friends have a HS coach and he never shows up and no communication or commitment. Total money grab.
Bandits will win the NLF, Express is not as good as them. After what I saw at the Qualifier Bandits are the superior team, they put a beating on S2S and beat Express handily. Don't know much about the out of state teams but on long Island Bandits are the best by far.
They will have a little trouble with Crabs. Size, age and physicality. Same with the Laxachusettes Black team.

Those 2 teams will bring 14 and 15 year olds and then parents will cheer as they score on kids 2-3 years younger.
Are the Outlaws folding as of next year? The Rebels are advertising one team per grade, besides that what other differences will there be? Will MB coach the 2023 or the Outlaws B team coach?
1, the outlaws are not folding! 2, the Rebels are totally separate cut the crap!
And yes, you will all trash the Rebels and then we will see you all at their tryouts,haha!

MB should coach the Rebels and put the very good Gold coach on the Select team to resurrect that program.
Good luck with the B coach going to select, leave while you can!

^^^^^^^^^^^

Not a Bandits parent or a player, just someone that can see that the Bandits are the best team on Long Island. Haugen, Igloo and S2S in my opinion in this order are the next three. I shouldn't have said they will win the NLF because I have never seen the Crabs or Laxachu... play, heard they are great teams. When it comes to 2023 Long Island Lax Bandits stand alone. Good luck to all teams at the NLF.

Crabs are a shell of the team they were last year. Lost their best players to Hawks and some left with FB on his Stars team.

First off, they are an awesome team. The best around. But, has anyone else noticed that the Bandits always play an easier schedule than most of the other teams? It seems like its been this way since NLF began. Why is that?

True. Laxachusetts has turned holding back into an industry for themselves up in Boston.

Stars aren’t a main team. More like a national team that has kids from crabs hawks and a few other dmv teams. FBs kid still on crabs. They aren’t as strong offensively because their best attack is playing on 22 team this yr
the season kicks in. seems like everyone is playing. hopefully igloo and s2s can make it an all LI final @ Platinum. A lot of good teams at NLF. should be a lot of high level games. i know people crap on the warriors, but they don't shy away from competition. might not do well but they'll fight. And the True Blue tourney. Good parity in the "b" bracket. should be some competitive games for them all. not sure how the "a" goes. i guess outlaws or igloo? don't know who the jersey team is. i haven't seen s2s or recon play.

weather looks better than expected. good luck to all the kids.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Take a look at Tourney Machine True Blue Panthers are playing the two other toughest teams in the tournament, so stop with the easy schedule. The only other team that will give TB Panthers somewhat of a game is Outlaws Select. Its a TB run tournament thats the only reason why the Panthers are in it.

Look Again they are playing Outlaws Select, Jersey Thunder and Recon which is a 2022/2023 combo, take a look before u open your mouth.
Ya know what, sorry but the warriors let more talented kids go then they have. Rotten at the top. A far cry from a professional Bandits Team. Warriors have gotten worse every year because of nepotism. When in 4th grade 11 kids play and 13 watch and are orange cones at practice it figures theyd all leave. Funny as many have gone on to succeed on higher ranked teams. Not flaming but fact spilling.
HOLY RE CLASS. this is embarrassing

Sorry TB dad. I seem to have struck a nerve. Like I said they are playing Recon and the Jersey team. I have seen that Recon team play and they are no A team.

Warriors had a rough day, same said during their last tourney. But you hit the nail right on the head; NEPOTISM ! Coach is a smart guy, I doubt he doesn't see what is happening, but what will he do about it, if anything.
Express outright beat them...but laxachussettes should be embarrassed having a bunch of 14/15 year olds play 2023...It’s rediculous...Someone is going to get hurt....

Good thing TB played that really good Recon team. Even with their 8th graders they lost every game!

TB dominated today. The Outlaws are a good team but their coach is awful. Recon had 8th graders and still list every game (some of their kids were huge) Igloo played ok. I expected more since they re a very established team. S2S wasn't as bad as I expected. They have 2 solid goalies and their defense was pretty good. They need to work on their offense. They didn't win a lot of fce-offs and don't seem to have much fire power. The Jersey team was fair.
The Outlaws coach was reacting to the bad refs who were a joke who gave TB 4 consecutive 2 man up and a 5th 3 man up. It was a joke, with the refs throwing flags.

The parents are insane also. TB player gets whacked in the knee twice as he is crossing the midfield line. He was hit so hard, he started limping. A flag is thrown. Then the loudmouth outlaw parent starts hollering like a drunken stunad how that could possibly be a penalty. One of the parents dropped F bombs like a champ. Classy group of people...

Insane, that's a nice way of putting it. As usual the Outlaws coach screwed his team by going back and forth with the refs the entire day, then refs got tired of his crap. It's happened before. When is leadership going to learn?

Thee Outlaw coach was insane in several several games. I caught part of the S2S game and he was acting like a nut. Arguing with these refs. I will agree that some of the parents are insane as well (moms no less!)

I didn't sew this whole game so not sure if the refs botched it or not but they Outlaws wouldn't have beat TB anyway. If they thought they had a chance they would have played the championship games instead of giving ut to TB. For the record I am not a TB parent

That was the Championship, non True Blue Parent who just watched part of the game. It was decided before the game to not play two back to games against the same opponent. It happens all the time, but you need to stay to hear about it.
Outlaws coach always acts like a baby at every tournament. Good luck Rebels.
Hats off to True Blue for putting a shoe in Outlaws mouth.

I am not a TB or Outlaw parent so I have no skin in the game. Outlaw coach is disgusting. If Outlaws thought it was so bad they should have asked to play the extra game. TB is better than the Outlaws. Stop whining and move on. Someone should wrangle that mom with the short blonde hair. She is a nightmare as well.

The saying is a “foot”. Anyway I love how true Blue parents come in here once a year to talk a big game after they win their one tournament A year. If your so awesome, you would have been at at harder tournament, even if this was yours.

very equal teams. Could have gone either way
S2S won the Platinum Cup. Igloo lost in the semis..
What happened to Crabs. Beat 91 and Express last year.

https://www.uslacrosse.org/sites/default/files/public/documents/rules/age-group-chart-17-18.pdf

They must be in the 13u age range to play 2023
There were plenty of holdbacks on the teams at Adrenaline. It is not like WSYL where they check birth certificates. Brotherly Love, Denver and West Coast Stars- definitely had a lot of huge kids. I am sure Brotherly Love would be going to Denver if their team had made the age requirement- they are very good.
91 will always get the people who want to tell others their kids plays for 91. Unfortunately what they dont say is that he and 10 other kids watch the select few get all the playing time - very little real coaching or development going on with that team. The best kids have already left.
They say the Platinum Cup is age restricted but the organizers don’t check. Multiple non-LI teams with kids one to two years older than U13. They asked for people to verify but it meant nothing. We asked parents from other teams the ages of the kids and they were more than willing to tell the ages

Looks like they didn’t check rosters. S2S has multiple players over 13U range.

Going to guess this is the warriors you are talking about we have lost a few great players and there are some strange decisions during tournaments the Bandits have almost no players leave their team and their roster is very small compared to other teams so everyone plays Warriors are a mess right now

That's the talk around the campfire.. See how the summer plays out. With Denver out of the mix, maybe teams will even out a bit. Parents and kids wont put up with crap with just a t-shirt on the line. Also, the recruiting tournaments start next year. Won't get seen on the field with a coach who plays 1/2 the kids..

Not sure who you are comparing to when you say ‘very small’ roster? Bandits had 11 players on the sidelines when no on was serving penalties for unsportsmanlike ie, yelling at refs. They get that from their DB coach who likes to lecture the refs on rules. 21 players maybe 1 or 2 less than average.

Sinking ship at Outlaws.
Development is key: if your kid is watching and not playing it’s time to move on.
Not age restricted, and the range must have been huge! Teams such as Brotherly Love, Denver Elite and West Coast Stars, had some very large players.

Yes I was referencing the Warriors about 14 players playing and 11 watching ! It isn’t right! We have 25 plus kids and it isn’t like we are winning games meanwhile Bandits have a roster of 20 with players hurt I personally think all summer rosters should be no more than 20! Also stayed with my son to watch the championship #10 on Express two late hits for penalties but even worse was flipping the bird at the crowd was eye opening to say the least game got heated but was a great game to watch. Emotions run high when the stakes are high. I will say the people who run the tournament should have better refs for big games Regardless I think people take this too seriously my older son is best friends w kids he used to battle neck to neck
Knock the crap off take the loss and move on it’s 7th grade lacrosse. These kids on Both teams are so talented ! The coaches are actually good friends and these are all Long Island and city kids! I tip my cap to the Bandits well played well coached and I know my boy and his team will be motivated to try and beat the Bandits this week. See everyone this weekend
Any of the MD teams that were there are guaranteed to have older kids. It just a fact of life down there.
Warriors have 20 total, 18 and 2 goalies. Knew they were going to have a rough weekend playing NLF, but decided to be challenged as usual. That being said, every kid played in every game. One player broke his wrist in the first game leaving the team with 17 field players. They’re a good team, not elite, but not really B either as they’ve shown for roughly 4-5 years.

Kids leave and move on to greener pastures, great for them especially when they are successful on their new teams. Some parents hold grudges and can’t let that go...

PS: both Bandits and Express along with S2S and Igloo (just speaking of LI teams) are unbelievably talented as 7th graders. Watch the sports and appriciate it.

Have a great summer!
Since Bandits, S2S, Haugen, and Igloo have shown to be the best on LI, who are the next top teams after them?

Ohio Resolute's had 2-3 men on the team, there weren't really any kids on any team nearly as big as them. S2S, BBL, BL all about the same size...

Looks like they didn’t check rosters. S2S has multiple players over 13U range.


Apart from the S2S holdbacks, what really stinks is S2S won the Platinum Cup over Brotherly Love via Braveheart. Awful way to decide a tournament, win or lose. They should just flip a coin, and call the winner, "winner by coin flip". Then we'd all know it literally could have gone either way.

But it's all about the $$$$...let's go, next teams line up, blow the whistle!

What are you talking about. I would gather you know nothing about the team. How can they have a hold back and a regular team. That would mean hey went around LI and recruited every hold back out there to have a full team of them.

How much longer do you want to beat this dead horse ? They are going to Denver with age appropriate kids & are now entering grade appropriate tourneys. Everything legit & above board. Call or write the head coach & maybe he"ll mail you a roster.
When talking about holdbacks in the context of the WSYL, its important to define what you are talking about. In NY, the school age calendar goes from Dec 1 to Nov 30, so for 7th grade in the current year, it would be children born from Dec 1, 2004 to Nov 30, 2005. Therefore, technically, a kid born on Nov 30, 2004 is a "holdback". However, said kid would be eligible for he WSYL, because such uses a Sept 1, 2004 cut off. Thus, for purposes of WSYL-related discussions, some people may be defining holdbacks to include only kids born before Sept 1, 2004.

For the NYC suburbs within NYS, there are very few kids born before Sept 1, 2004 in 7th grade. Its highly unlikely that any LI 2023 team has a sizable amount of kids born before Sept 1, 2004. A lot may have been born after Sept, 2004 but before Dec, 2004, but very few would be age-ineligible for the WSYL. Prime Time has several kids age-ineligible for their WSYL, but I suspect those players are from CT.

Solid field at the event but the weather made it a disaster. I watched BL play BBL at 945 at night and that was before our game. The teams than had to turn around and be there at 8am...and hotels where an hour away. The facility is excellent just need to build some hotels within a reasonable distance.

Do you understand the word " sarcasm " ? Lighten up.
Say what you want about the 1 or 2 holdbacks on bandits, express, s2s, primetime and the other teams that are going to Denver, but please don’t compare these teams to Brotherly Love, Crabs. Lax Black etc. who aren’t going to Denver because they couldn’t field a team within age restrictions.
There are ZERO holdbacks on the S2S Team. There are four players, that cannot, and will not be playing in Denver, because they are over the age limit by a range of 2 days to 2 months. None of the boys have been held back or re-classed etc. I know this because my son is on the team.

The Braveheart is a [ChillLaxin] way to end a Tournament, I agree for both sides. However, prior to the Braveheart, they played a 3 minute overtime. The Braveheart went on so long, both teams actually subbed players, because the initial players were exhausted. Each Goalie made 2-3 saves during the Braveheart. It had to end at some point, there were teams waiting to play their next game on the sidelines. Oh and by the way, Brotherly Love reached the Final, by beating Igloo in a Braveheart.

Interestingly enough, I was standing next to and speaking to the mother of the goalie of the Brotherly Love Team, and she wasn't nearly as disappointed as this poster? Get a Life, and stop living through your son...

Wait. So your saying you don’t have holdbacks or reclassified kids, but four kids are not playing because they are over the age limit. So your telling us S2S is outright playing older kids playing down? That’s shady, no?

Stop living through your yesteryears. Your days have long passed you by.
What grade are those 4 kids in?

If they’re in 7th, they are 2023 eligible but, essentially playing down since most 2023’s are turning 13 this summer while your crew will be 14.

If they’re in 8th, S2S should be playing in 2022 brackets - cheaters.

Super job, S2S. I hope you get great pride beating younger kids - it must make you so proud to relive your pathetic athletic career watching your team cheat all summer. Kids get better playing on age or up, not beating younger kids for T-shirts.
Exactly if they are not of age then they should be in 8th grade not 7th grade.

They are all in 7th grade. Based on birthdays parents have a choice of pushing a kid in K ahead or holding them back (making them the oldest or youngest in a grade). PAL and travel teams go by school year. Until that changes they aren't cheating. Other sports have moved to age based , which would push some of these kids to play up. The WSYL has moved to age based. All of S2S kids that played in the qualifier were of "legal" age based on the rules. A kid with a Jan birthday will be in the same grade as a kid with an August birthday but is almost 7 months older. Cheating? Nope. Just because they are older doesn't always mean they are better. The Recon team that played this past weekend had huge 8th graders (several of them) and they lost every game. Stop making excuses why your kids team lost or can't compete with these teams. The S2S is talented. If your kid is so good try out. Otherwise stop whining!
It's the same excuse that Laxachusetts and Crabs use. "So what if he is 15, he's in 7th grade..."

In 2015 it was 9/1
In 2016 it was 5/1
In 2017 it went back to 9/1 because it is supposed to be a U 13 Tournament.

In 2016 Legacy loaded their team with 14 year old's and killed everybody, they did not cheat but it was not the spirit of the WSYL.
We didn't go but heard Bech Lax was terrible. Evenly matched teams but the games were never played. Hope some people get their money back. 9'1 has a coach that was pulled out of the crowd to help. How can a club charge thousands of dollars to have a volunteer coach? Havent heard complaining about the guy but why cant Mark M get qualified people on one of his "elite" teams?

Stop crying about the age of 7th and 8th graders. Most kids in 7th grade turn 13 during there 7th grade year. Are you going to complain in two year that the kids in high school are to big and your son cannot play with them because they have better skill and are more athletic? This is pathetic, take your kids off the lacrosse field if you are so worried about the sizes and ages of the kids.
i find it ironic that everybody is screaming about age, especially since the older kids on the teams aren’t always the bigger and stronger kids. It all comes down to one variable- puberty. And sorry folks, the age of onset for puberty does not live by the age based rules. The haters all want to get rid of the big strong kids because their kids haven’t grown yet, but you will only partially solve that problem with enforcing age based rules. All the biggest and strongest kids on my team are age appropriate.

Poor comparison. There are no 15 yr
old 7th graders playing on L.I. Beside the fact that the L.I. teams handily defeated both of the above named teams this past weekend. It's talent over age.

Agreed. Change the age to whatever you want - the top 4 teams will still be the top 4 teams. Moving one or two kids up or down a grade will change nothing

“Stop crying about the age of 7th and 8th graders”, says the parent of the kid who has always played against younger kids. And once you go to the straw man argument about HS lax, everyone knows you are wrong. HS sports are HS sports. No one is arguing HS sports should be based on age. Youth sports, though, are different. Grade based youth sports proponents are like flat earthers. They keep pushing a position that everyone knows has no merit. The bottom line is that you have spent the last several years living in fear that youth lax would go to age based and force your kid to play against kids his own age. Luckily for you, any switch will come after your kid is done with youth sports.
There is no objective argument that favors grade based youth sports over age based youth sports. It persists in youth lacrosse because the club level is controlled by a small number of guys who own the major clubs and run the biggest tournaments, and these guys, with some enabling from college coaches, are making money and monopolizing the top talent, and they fear losing this if they make a change.

Do you really believe that a kid born in July or August has a tremendous advantage over a kid born in Sept. or Oct. Let your kid play PAL & call it a day.

There is simply no downside to switching to an age based system in youth lax. The exceptional athlete that is currently on age, but enjoys competing against the older holdbacks can still be challenged by the older kids by choosing to play up (a 2007 can play with the 2006s).

As for the puberty argument, yes, on age kids who hit puberty early have an advantage, but this advantage is limited to physical ability. They are still age appropriate mentally, and this is a big part of the game. An age based system eliminates, though, the kids that are BOTH well into puberty and older. These are the kids who really don’t belong with the younger kids.

And when arguing for a change in a system of any kind, you do not have to prove that the new system is perfect. You just have to prove that it is better than the current system. Of course an age based system will have big and fast kids who hit puberty early. But it will have less of these kids, and hence will be better. And of course a January bday will have an advantage over a December bday, but this will be the maximum advantage seen. A grade based system with holdbacks often sees kids with a nearly 2 year advantage. The former will be better than the later
When are any of you going to understand that your kids could care less about scores of old games? Less than your kids, highschool and college coaches aren’t checking the tourney machine almanac and penalty box minute sheet. You guys seriously ruin a youth sport. All of you.
How Stupid are You?

There are four players that do not qualify for Denver, but are perfectly fine for Grade Appropriate Events, and are within the dates for New York State Schools, (started kindergarten at age 5).

I don't know how to make it any clearer. No Holdbacks (started school late), or Re-Classified (repeated a grade).

Before you spend your time bitching and moaning on this thread, at least do your research to understand what the terms you are using mean!
All players are in seventh grade. Four Players miss the date cutoff for Denver. Clear enough stunad's
All players are in seventh grade. Four Players miss the date cutoff for Denver. Clear enough stunad's
The S2s kids are either reclassed or started school late or they would be eligible for WSYL FACT
Believe it or not the world of lacrosse doesn't revolve around Long Island. Each state has it's own rules & regs. at what age a child can & should begin school.. If these schools start at a later age so be it. If L I teams do not want to participate in out of state tourneys then please stay home.. The complaints about size & age have worn thin.

You need to work on your math skills. I will help you. If a player does not qualify for the WSYL, than he was born on or before August 31, 2004. So, lets use August 31, 2004 as the birthday. A child born on August 31, 2004 turned 6 years old on August 31, 2010. In NY, current 7th graders started kindergarten in Sept of 2010. Thus, anyone from NY that is not age eligible for the WSYL was 6 when they started kindergarten, and not 5 as you say. These kids undoubtably started school late.

Now how stupid are you???

a lot. that's why they have two teams. One team hold back, and the other team normal age.


The 2 teams have no connection other than the name on the front of their jersey. There's no mix and match of the roster. And look at that [ChillLaxin] eating grin you are wearing. One stupid comment you know isn't true in the first place and 2 pages of this stupid conversation. And by your comment, wouldn't the holdback team be the second team that is not goimg to wsyl? So they recruited a team full of holdbacks to be the b team?

Having watched my kids play many hockey games against teams from MD, PA, and MA, it is pleasure seeing our opponents be the same size (on the average across the roster) and appear to be the same age (both from an on ice prospective, and in the lobby at the rink). No one in hockey cares what grade a kid is, or what age brackets a state uses to group their children in school.

But when my kids play lacrosse against teams from MD, PA, and MA, all of a sudden the kids are bigger and look older. Why is that? Do they suddenly get younger when they play hockey, only to get older again when they pick up a lacrosse stick?

And yes, NY teams need not play against teams from other states. But why not have a uniform standard that everyone can adhere to? If you are in MD, PA, or MA, what is the downside to having the kids grouped by age and not grade?

Stop crying about the age of 7th and 8th graders. Most kids in 7th grade turn 13 during there 7th grade year. Are you going to complain in two year that the kids in high school are to big and your son cannot play with them because they have better skill and are more athletic? This is pathetic, take your kids off the lacrosse field if you are so worried about the sizes and ages of the kids.

Do you really believe that a kid born in July or August has a tremendous advantage over a kid born in Sept. or Oct. Let your kid play PAL & call it a day.


No but at this age a kid born in July has a huge advantage over kid born the following June. Your statement is a terrible example of what is really happening. It not a 1-2 month difference in these situations.

Not if the kid is Italian, they reach puberty in 5th grade.. why LI teams are so good.

The tournament was good except for the weather. Would have liked to play all the games..
how does everyone like their draw for laxfest? I know that my son's coach is happy.. We actually have a shot at the semis this year..

Seems like they made an a, a, b+, and b. Right? I would think you would flip farmingdale and ducks or garden city. garden city always seems to be in the b, and then runs away with it. Do they ever go the tougher route?

Easy to explain you have no life, go try to find one and leave the kids alone....
Not to mention, the Express A team for 2024 isn't that good.

Got it. S2S dad gets caught in a lie. Attacks poster. Classy.
Fact is we now know at least one kid on the team is a major holdback. Probably a lot more. Explains a lot. Doesn’t it.

So is lefty really a 2023?? Hmmm wonder what you might find on Manhassets PAL roster ?!
The holdback situation is just embarrassing. I’m embarassed for the poor kid whose being raised around kids years younger while he purports to be the same age. False sense of reality and the Protective bubble you’ve placed around Johnny Bearded Boy will come back to bite him when he finds out that life isn’t as easy when mommy and daddy aren’t setting up the wins and trophies.

I’m not holdback apologist, believe me; however, do you think it’s possible that the parents held the kid back before kindergarten because he was not physically or developmentally ready to start school? Or do you think they were really thinking that it would help him in lacrosse when he’s in 7th grade? Also, no one is going to protest anything because it’s a grade based tournament and the kid is in 7th grade. I swear, you True Blue parents will complain that water is too wet.
Interesting weekend at Lax fest. Lots of teams playing dirty. That team from Jersey was ridiculous with its dirty hits. S2S (both teams) played like crap. Higgins needs to do something to help that 2nd team. I got to see them play 2x and they have zero offense. Their defense was better the first day. The 2nd day their goalie was a sitting duck. The GC team should have played in the A bracket. They have kids from both S2S and Igloo A teams on it. They are a good team but should try and challenge themselves a bit. The ither teams in the A bracket had easy schedules and still their was no rockstar among them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He wasn't ready for school yea that's the reason thanks for the clarification.
Nice weekend at the LI Laxfest congrats to the Bandits, they are still the team to beat on Long Island (Not a Bandit Parent). All the teams in that bracket played tough there weren't many easy games. Good luck to all the rest of the summer and see some of you at Tri Fest.
[quote=Anonymous]There are ZERO holdbacks on the S2S Team. There are four players, that cannot, and will not be playing in Denver, because they are over the age limit by a range of 2 days to 2 months. None of the boys have been held back or re-classed etc. I know this because my son is on the team.


This didn’t age well!

That NJ team is an affiliate of 91
After WSYL and now this weekend, can we now finally stop hearing about how good True Blue is?? You guys are a strong B team. There is nothing wrong with that.
Accept it and enjoy watching your son play lacrosse
Ouch. Maybe the holdbacks didn’t play for S2S? Or maybe only the 2 day and 2 month holdbacks played and not the 12 month holdbacks? What happened S2S dad?

Knowing Higgins for many years I don't think he gives a rats @$$ about a team his son isn't on. It really showed out there. Glad I don't have to deal with that debacle.
Is there a schedule yet for the upcoming weekend? @ LaxClash ?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I read the standings correct S2S was also 1-3. You could've taken TB out of that bracket and inserted Igloo A and they would've had the same record 1-3 or maybe 2-2. Please stop with the TB bashing we are not the top 4 its ok, you don't like the program for whatever reason its ok. There isn't one TB parent that goes on here and pounds there chest that we are the best its some PlayLax(s) stirring the pot. Label us what you want A,B,C,D we don't care, if it makes you feel better calling us a B team then so be it. That was an extremely tough bracket and I'm proud of the way TB played. Would like to have seen a few less turn overs but that's part of the game. Good luck the rest of the summer to all even to the guy that keeps stirring the pot...

Wasn't looking to bash Igloo just saying you could put any other elite program in that bracket and more then likely the same result would have happened.

No you must be right, the parents decided when they had a son that we must hold him back so he is the biggest and best lacrosse player in 7th grade. You really need to get a LIFE, step away from the computer and look out your window, I am sorry, first go upstairs out of your parents basement then look out the window and see the real world outside.
Number 17 will get dealt with. Dirty hits are not forgotten.

No
No surprises in LI this weekend. (Including traffic)

Winning teams moved the ball well, and played zone defense.

Losing teams didn't.

Did the Express A team really only beat TB by 1?


No


Yes they did. Same thing as last year also

If you watched the games, most winning teams switched from zone to man as well as a mix in some situations during the game. Nothing wrong with zone because it's a team effort. If one part breaks down its easy to beat. At this level, and with such disparity in kids development, different situations call for different strategies. If you watch or have played the game in college, most use a mix or switch between man/zone to confuse the offense. Obviously, as you can see, zone does work.

The ither teams in the A bracket had easy schedules and still their was no rockstar among them.


That NJ team is an affiliate of 91

Knowing Higgins for many years I don't think he gives a rats @$$ about a team his son isn't on. It really showed out there. Glad I don't have to deal with that debacle.

That may be but it makes S2S as an organization to have [ChillLaxin] teams out there. I don’t get why he bothered making a second 2023 team
Lax fest was a good this year. The teams in the b bracket seemed to be at least close to each other. Did not get to see GC play, so I cannot comment on their A bracket chances. The winning teams took advantage of mistakes against similar skill teams and beat the teams they should beat. The only thing I will say is that the Millon team were rather chippy.. and the empire team almost won for once.. On that note, the teams that did better had shooters, where the losing team did not have a kid that attacked thr cave, or if they had one, they had only one and he could get locked down. Give any of these teams 2 legit scorers.. like a couple from the A teams that ride the bench, and they would make it to the bracket round. Looking forward to the Purchase Tournament this weekend.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I read the standings correct S2S was also 1-3. You could've taken TB out of that bracket and inserted Igloo A and they would've had the same record 1-3 or maybe 2-2. Please stop with the TB bashing we are not the top 4 its ok, you don't like the program for whatever reason its ok. There isn't one TB parent that goes on here and pounds there chest that we are the best its some PlayLax(s) stirring the pot. Label us what you want A,B,C,D we don't care, if it makes you feel better calling us a B team then so be it. That was an extremely tough bracket and I'm proud of the way TB played. Would like to have seen a few less turn overs but that's part of the game. Good luck the rest of the summer to all even to the guy that keeps stirring the pot...

Wasn't looking to bash Igloo just saying you could put any other elite program in that bracket and more then likely the same result would have happened.



Is what your saying is that True Blue is an elite team

Ego and money grab. Someone has to supplement the A team scholarships.
Losing to Express by only 1 goals proves True Blue can play with the top teams!
If you aren't happy where you are you could always get on the Chan Train. Just bring your check book and your solo cup and they will make room for your kid on the bench....I can assure you the grass isn't any greener over there, or anywhere else for that matter. What are the other choices for these B team kids? The S2s B team is brand new. It takes time to attract talent and develop kids- it doesn't happen in a weekend.

Ok. In the Blatant Tourney TB went 1 - 2 & in Lax Fest they went 1 - 3. That's a record of 2 - 5 & no playoffs. On paper doesn't look very good.
test
Wasn't looking to bash Igloo just saying you could put any other elite program in that bracket and more then likely the same result would have happened.

Is what your saying is that True Blue is an elite team

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No I said Igloo is an Elite team stop trying to twist my words. TB is a good squad and they paly hard. If it makes you feel better talking s**t about 12-13 year old boys go ahead boost that ego, I'm sure you were a stud athlete. Good luck to all and see some of you at Nassau CC this weekend, looks like another tough weekend.

There's not much attraction when you have new clubs popping up all the time, like the Rebels, or 91 making 5 teams in the same age bracket.

Teams that stink don’t attract talent. That is why teams like Express White, empire white, Icon, sharks etc don’t get better or they fold.. New kids come from other crap teams. The kids don’t leave because they can’t make other teams and their daddy’s want to be able to say they play travel.
Wow, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed...Maybe the kids would rather play lacrosse on a team that you says "stinks".. better then sitting around playing fortnite, or getting in trouble..
Oh, and by the way, what team does your precious son play for , some AA team I presume???
Why did the Bandits pull out of the Lax Clash

I am sure your kid plays plenty of fortnite. Just because they play lax doesn’t mean they don’t get in trouble. Your just bitter that your kid can’t make a better team. These teams that get beat on a regular basis even when they play the worst teams out there are straight up money grabs by these organizations. They know they have a pool of dads living vicariously through their kids that aren’t that good at lax. I would put my kid on an AA team or solid B team any day before I paid 2/3k to be on a C team

Well I guess the rest of the lower class lacrosse world citizens should pack up their stuff and leave before they offend you. We wouldn't want you to have to pass their tent on the way to pick up you latest championship tshirt. You should hurry before the team store closes. You're probably due for a new "insert super dooper club name" polo as it gets worn every weekend. Have jr. Keep working on that full ride you keep telling everyone about.

Seems I struck a nerve....I would be mad too if I spent that much cash to have my kid get crushed every weekend. Did H. make you promises? Are you just realizing now you have been duped? Or worse do you play on one of those other teams that Maeve get better. S2S B has the we are new excuse.
In looking at the schedule for this weekend it looks like Laxachucettes has a lot of money grab teams as well. They have a lot of 2023 teams playing this weekend.

Does anyone know what happened to the Bandits? Hoping to get a legit answer.

Teams that stink don’t attract talent. That is why teams like Express White, empire white, Icon, sharks etc don’t get better or they fold.. New kids come from other crap teams. The kids don’t leave because they can’t make other teams and their daddy’s want to be able to say they play travel.


Well I guess the rest of the lower class lacrosse world citizens should pack up their stuff and leave before they offend you. We wouldn't want you to have to pass their tent on the way to pick up you latest championship tshirt. You should hurry before the team store closes. You're probably due for a new "insert super dooper club name" polo as it gets worn every weekend. Have jr. Keep working on that full ride you keep telling everyone about.


Seems I struck a nerve....I would be mad too if I spent that much cash to have my kid get crushed every weekend. Did Higgins make your promises? Are you just realizing now you have been duped? Or worse do you play on one of those other teams that Maeve get better. S2S B has the we are new excuse.

No, try again. My kid is on another team. But a team you would look down at probalbly. But stop and think about what you say. Although you'll never see it because it's only the best for you right? With your logic, every kid in every sport should just quit what they are doing if they aren't on the best team. Hoops? Quit. Soccer? Quit? Did they fall skiing down a blue diamond? Quit. Nothing with striking a nerve, just gets painful after a while listening to it. But I guess every team has one of your type. people rolling their eyes when you walk away. But hey, keep posting away.
Who are the Annapolis Hawks playing in Lax Clash this weekend?

Check Tourney Machine its posted.
Ok. In the Blatant Tourney TB went 1 - 2 & in Lax Fest they went 1 - 3. That's a record of 2 - 5 & no playoffs. On paper doesn't look very good.

Your right it doesn't however four of the losses are to Bandits, Haugen, Igloo A, S2S A. Those are the top four teams on the island according to 99% of the people on here. Unless the poster is from Bandits or Haugen, I'm pretty sure you would have the same outcome. And on any given day Igloo and S2S may steal one from the other two. They did lose a game to 3Villages by a goal which is a bad loss again no one saying they are the best they are a good team. I'm still would love to know where all the hate for TB comes from.

The parents are out of control. Quite possibly the worst of any team, in any sport, at any age group on Long Island. Big mouth sore losers AND sore winners.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I disagree with the above statement. Every team has that out of control parent, the parents on TB are no different then the parents of any other team. You have some that red cup it like all the other teams, they cheer on there kids and the opponents kid and they yell at refs like every other parent does when they feel there was a bad or non call made. Your entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine and I'm sure some people agree with me and some may with you.
Last year in Maryland the warriors (91 long islands “jv” team) lost to the hawks in overtime......I’m sure the bandits are terrified of the Hawks...eye roll

This year's Hawks are a much different team. They added some of the top players in the Baltimore area. They are the top team at 2023. Watch them play and it will be clear. They dominated the MD league this spring and did not make the finals the year before.

When you say added, are we talking about revlassified 8th and 9th graders playing down.
I was thinking the same thing. Or else the bandits would be scared of the Hawks in Denver In a week and a half also but they aren’t cause their kids are only 2023 in Maryland! 2022 and 2021 most everywhere else.

Bandits have never lost to the Hawks so there's your answer for that. . The actual answer is the Bandits were never signed up for this tournament it was a mistake as the Warriors are in. Actually surprised so many teams headed to Denver are playing this weekend especially teams like express and primetime being that both will be missing players in Denver. With our team most of the families are leaving for Denver early next week and this weekend was designated as a practice weekend for our boys to get ready.

If you go to the Bandits web page it lists their tournaments - Lax Clash is listed. True - Hawks have never beaten the Bandits... but there is a first time for everything, you never know.
If the Hawks were really too old for the tournament, they wouldn't be playing in it.

Everyone knows that the school cut off date is different in Maryland then it is in NY. That's just a fact of life. A 2023 is a 2023. Maybe they are just looking for a challenge. Hopefully they get it.
Sorry, I actually meant who are the Hawks? We are new to the club scene and didnt recognize the team. Obviously they are out of Maryland are they going to be good competition?

Do you realize that these two statements are laugh-out-loud silly. "A 2023 is a 2023" is another way of saying - Hey, if the kid PLANS on graduating HS in 2023, than he gets to play on the 2023 team. Which means age is irrelevant. If age is irrelevant, than how can anyone be too old? Its an impossibility. The bottom line is that there is no such thing as being too old for a tournament. This is sad, and should be so for both the older kids and the younger kids.

Hawks definitely have the athletes to cover Bandits big L Attackman and L Middie. You stop those two kids and you can compete.

It may seem hard to believe, but there are teams from L. I.that are looking forward to competing against the out of state teams. Good luck to all this weekend.
The Hawks aren't going to Denver for obvious reasons.

Just for perspective to the "new to club lacrosse" Next Level won the east qualifier for the WSYL 10 to 5 and the semi-final 7 to 1. In the MD club league they lost to Hawks 17 to 3. They added several players from Crabs. Public schools in MD and DC/VA have a similar age cut off. It is the private schools that have kids start late providing the age advantage. It is what it is but some teams are months older than others. The Hawks also do not play in the WSYL but have their own National Championship at Naptown. Another top DC area team is the Madlax DC dogs. They will be a favorite at the Millon run "National Championships" in 2023 age group. The top teams will face one another at times but there is not a true way to define a TOP team at this age. In a few years it will not matter as the focus shifts to showing not winning.
Hawks didnt add any players from Crabs this year. Why would you travel to Denver when the majority of the top teams are right here on the East coast? Yes they do have maybe three holdbacks but not the boys that everyone thinks are. They also beat DC dogs in the NAL tournament last week in the championship. Yes I am a Maryland father checking out the New York forum. I will say you guys have as much drama as the Maryland forum its pretty entertaining.
That is why u13 works...Levels the playing field. Why would 15 year olds want to play against 13 year olds?

Be honest, if your kid had the opportunity, he would want to go - and not suggesting that your kid is not good enough - I understand, and appreciate, the fact that some programs/parents simply are not interested in the cost, and some clubs could not do it without filling in for kids that do not make the age cut-off... but just because you have decided not to go, or that it is a waste of your time, which I respect, you can spare everybody the negative comments, just be happy with your decision and move on.

My $5,000 I'm saving by not going is going to pay for 1 year of college for my newborn. Keep telling your club how amazing it is. Tryouts are coming there is another $100 per player for you.
What do people know about the Rebels? Is this just going to be the Outlaws with new uniforms? Or do you think the Rebels will attract better kids and improve?

Hey big spender, let us know which college cost $5,000 for one year .
NOT Outlaws
Most new coaches, and many new players

Apparently you only read what your want to read, and conveniently ignore the rest.... perhaps you should take some additional time and focus on the words "appreciate" and "respect".....or perhaps your reading comprehension is the product of the college that cost $5,000 per year...

MB is the same coach with different uniforms, no regrets but we're staying with the Outlaws. Outlaws has a long successful track record and better name for recruiting. By the time Rebels can get going my son will be out of high school.

It's not about getting my son into college - it's about a fun, life experience.
Outlaws has been a sinking ship for years now. Rebels are a desperation to continue to grab money without going only as tournament hosts. Any fool can see what’s going on here. They are probably just trying to dissolve the outlaws quietly.

keep telling yourself that. NCC is cheap. That's about all you'll be able to afford once you built a fortune for someone else. Spending quality time at the beach is a life experience, not 5k for 3 days. I'd rather have my son play with his friends locally on his current club which doesn't con people into going to Denver.
I understand the hawks and crabs being upset but they could of went three years ago when they were age eligible
You have NO clue
Rebels Rule

One question, did your son's team play in the qualifier
Oh so. Almost the whole 2023 Outlaws team is leaving to go to Rebels so how do they rule??
It's not about getting my son into college - it's about a fun, life experience.
***Exactly, maybe I don't need to sacrifice my kids college fund in order to go. It seems that what people who aren't going complain about. I'm counting down the days to go!!!***
Why have tryouts if whole outlaw team at 2023 is getting a spot.
I am sure they will have some turnover like all teams

Again, that is great, your decision -.but what right do you have to come on here and be critical of those people that have chosen to go to Denver - nobody came on here and suggested that you are a "sucka" for not going to Denver - you made a choice not to go (or play for a club that does go), some have made the choice to go - WHY DO YOU CARE - if you are so comfortable with your decision, let it go, enjoy the beach and let your son enjoy time with his friends on his club team. I'm sure that you will have some nifty come-back about how you are just expressing you opinion - and that we are all too thin skinned to respect your opinion - but the truth is that you just want to come on here and stir the pot with your holier-than-thou wisdom.
Laxachusetts, Crabs, Hawks, Express North... you won’t see them in Denver. They only play when it’s their 15 year old vs. your 12/13 year olds. They have a “hold back World Series”, called NLF National Championship at Lehigh. Where your 12/13 year olds get to face their bearded triple Re classes. Cheating culture has been saved by their “profits” (used on purpose) Bacon Brothers! The most greedy bacons in th nations.

It’s BACON!!!

This situation could easily be solved by just switching to birth year play, youth soccer has done it and has leveled the playing field. Best situation would be to switch to birth year play at U13 when it really starts to show up as puberty kicks in for most. Dominating at grade 7 when some players are nearly 2 years older than others is truely laughable.

Take your complaining parents and children to Denver and let the real teams play in the NLF tournaments this summer. When you are back and want to see real lacrosse come out to the NLF National Championship at Lehigh.

Take your complaining parents and children to Denver and let the real teams play in the NLF tournaments this summer. When you are back and want to see real lacrosse come out to the NLF National Championship at Lehigh.

I agree 100%.


As is no NLF teams are going to Denver....but I do agree that the complaining is annoying, put your kid where you feel comfortable and be happy


Real teams... SMH... Until there is total aged based teams and tournaments, this discussion is pointless. at 13 and younger a holdback will most likely dominate the competition.. My son is a B+ player, put him on a 2024 team and he is A+, one year is HUGE!!

On a good 2024 team your son would still be a b+ player.
You guys do know where the scourge of grade based youth lacrosse started right?
Express started all this reclass nonsense on LI. Watch at lax clash today. Express will have 2-3 kids from their 2022 team playing for the 2023 team. And yes they are rising 9th graders. On the Denver team. Age eligible but this is a grade based tournament. Chan cheats more than anyone out there.
Ok, I’ll bite..
Looks like we got 3 more brand new clubs starting this year, and claiming they are only going to be AA quality, amazing uniforms, etc, etc. Next thing they'll tell us is that they'll be in Denver for their younger team. I'm about to puke
Going to be an interesting day of lax. The Massachusetts and Maryland teams are already off and running.
So the Rebels are a Brand New Team, right.... how do they have many new players..wouldn't all players be new to the team.

Yes, but MB thinks he is taking his key players and the bench players stay at Outlaws. Unfortunately he doesn't know the real scoop.
And Hockey....cut and Dry....2004,2005 ect. It's easy if US Lacrosse would recognize the problem with youth lacrosse. They need to have more control or we will continue to play in the "Wild, Wild West".
Interesting day. S2S not a big dog..... and that “B” team couldn’t score points if their was no goalie! Warriors proving they are in the wrong bracket yet again. Laxachucettes has amazing bench depth considering they have so many teams in the age group. Long Beach showing they can beat most of the B travel teams.

Time has passed for the Warriors, along with other glaring issues that only former players/parents are aware of. Those players were after thought's. Left for other top organizations, then played against the Warriors and beat them. My son became so disgusted with them, that's why we left.
S2S fogo is legit. Holdback hawks will win the ship in our backyard today!!

On the money except LB has 8th graders there
You’re all disgusting! Chatting and gossiping about children game scores? Hard pressed to believe any of you work in a place other than fast food counters at rest stops. I hope your kids read this trash dating back to when they were in 1st grade. You should not have the authority to raise a child. Pigs! All of you!

They let you feed on this crap, then use your emotions to pay $3k a season to wear the winning uniform. How dumb are you? Who raised you?

Do you stop in for the good company?? If we are dumb for shelling out 3k to play on one of these teams, that our business. Why are you in this forum if you aren’t shelling at $$$ for your kid to play??
S2S fogo is pretty good (legit), but misses WSYL by 2mo. He is/was 7th grade this year. I know this because I approached a friendly face on the sideline and blatantly asked. He does not have the "holdback" size or maturity, that's obvious that most would not question his age.
Overall, perfect lax playing weather, very competitive (a lot of close, 1 goal games) in that bracket.

This was a strong lacrosse weekend. There were no blowouts in the upper A bracket. Every team had BIG, strong, talented kids. Not sure why hawks are referred to as holdback hawks. They didn’t look any bigger than any other team. Lots of impressive play today.

Wow. You’re a loser.
Thats correct every team had a few big athletic kids as would be expected at this age as they all mature at different times. Whst i dont understand is the parents and the trash talk within earshot of the kids. Some of tge LI parents take being a FLID to a whole new level.

I just don't understand the LI parent obsession with the notion of holdbacks. All of the teams had big, athletic kids. The Hawks weren't the biggest team there this weekend. Not even close - that was clearly Laxachusetts who lost a few games. I was particularly appalled by the focus on two of our kids - calling them out by number, telling your kids to target them, etc. Like it, believe it, or not, they are 13 years old. I don't have a problem believing that your 6'5 240 pound goalie is 13. He was lights out in the game and I enjoyed watching him play. PT and LIE had phenomenal players with excellent coaching. The parents, however, were embarrassing. I wish that our parents had ignored them but it was pretty much impossible with what was coming out of the LI parents' mouths.
Best of luck to your kids. You never know - some of them could be dorm mates in 5 years.

Congrats your first on line. Let me guess you son plays on a top team that needs to bring down older players to stay a top team. It was a joke at this weekends Tristar LaxClash. All the teams attending WSYL tournament had their older boys there playing to warm up. No one is even trying to hide it anymore. It’s you that needs to go.

I just don't understand the LI parent obsession with the notion of holdbacks. All of the teams had big, athletic kids. The Hawks weren't the biggest team there this weekend.

13 years old now ... but if they turn 14 before December 1, 2018, than they are a holdback as per NY's school calendar year. Yes, I understand that MD and other states use different school calendar years that make their kids "older" per grade, and yes I understand that there are many kids who started kindergarten late due to issues having nothing to do with lacrosse, and yes I understand countless other points relevant to this issue .....

However, all of this nonsense and vitriol can be eliminated if the following were to occur: 1) youth lacrosse separates kids based on date of birth and not grade in school (use Jan 1 - Dec 31, or Sept 1 - Aug 31 - it doesn't matter, just pick one); 2) have birth certificates and official rosters be submitted by the clubs to US Lacrosse each season (certificates need only be submitted once for each player if they are in year 2+ for the club); 3) have an official score sheet for each game, in triplicate, with a roster sticker for each team placed on each copy. The ref and each team's coach signs the sheet after each game, with a copy to each of the teams, one to the tournament, which sends a copy to US lacrosse (each team will have a manager to do this stuff independent of the coaches).

This is exactly what happens in USA hockey, and as a result, ALL parents and coaches trust that everyone is of age and legitimately rostered. Parents can still be jerks to each other concerning penalties and dirty play, but no one bitches and moans about holdbacks, overaged kids, kids driving to 7th grade games, passive aggressive comments meant to be overheard by the other team's parents, etc.

And yes, the next Paul Rabil that is sleeping at each of your houses can play "up" if that is what the parents and the coaches think is best for the kid and the club.

———-
Or we can acknowledge that this is lacrosse and not hockey. I agree - more stringent guidelines could level the playing field - but that doesn’t mean that all states will change their school ages... which means the argument then comes with playing with your age appropriate teammates or your peers that you will be in Highschool and college with. My 14 year old 9th grader played against 19 year old seniors in Highschool. This argument becomes a mute point in a year. Unless you make the rules or host a tournament in which you decide the rules - it is what it is. Just go with it. You won’t have any control over it in Highschool and college...

It was good lacrosse this weekend, regardless of age differences or crazy parents.

People that continually bring this up are diminishing their child’s or their child’s team’s efforts. You are essentially saying you can’t win against them, because they are cheaters - which they aren’t. Or if you win .,, you are so great- because you beat the cheaters. How about we send the message that hard work pays off and eventually things even out. It’s a life lesson and one that will prove fruitful in the future when they are playing with teammates within a 5 year spread, not just a few months.

There was great lacrosse this past weekend. All teams had big, strong, fast kids! Enjoy it. It won’t be around forever.
Does my son enjoy playing? Yes
Has it been a great experience for him? Yes
Has the lax team brought in an entirely new circle of friends? Yes (for both he and I)
Is he getting high quality coaching? Yes
Am I willing to pay for that? Yes
Do I think club lacrosse teams should make money? Of course, it’s a business.

Is his team winning tournaments? No, but reasonably competitive
Can his team beat up on the big teams? No
Do I fault those big teams for being deeper in talent? No
Could my son play and start for one of those teams? Yes (but I’m not from Long Island, nor willing to commute to practices out there)

Have I accepted that 2023 is not age-based, that ages vary, and my son must face older/bigger kids? Yes, in fact doing that is exactly what has made him a stronger and more competitive player over the years. If he had played down and beat up on younger kids, I am confident that he wouldn’t be the player he is today.

Do I agree that hold-backs by manipulative parents is an issue? Yes, but I’m got bigger things to worry about in life.
Good luck to any of you heading to Denver this weekend....safe travels

Well said. I’m more concerned with roster transparency. I’ve told the coaches I’d rather see the team have a close loss to a quality team than a blowout win to a team with less experience. My son’s team is in a position where they win games against B and lower tier A teams, but lose to the stronger teams. The problem is one game they’ll lose by a very small margin. A week later, they get destroyed by the same team. I would just like to know if the outcome was due to poor performance or if they lost due to rumors of the other team loading their roster with players that don’t normally play on that team. I welcome good competition. The experience prepares our boys to be competitive when they reach HS and if they are fortunate, college.
Hawks by far were the biggest team there....Very well coached and talented players but not many 13 year olds on that team...I would gather a couple of 15 year olds as well...But whatever makes you happy I guess...Good luck the rest of the summer!
I remember when I was a kid the big achievement was that you played up a grade. You were the one always talked about. No, it’s the opposite. The badge on your shoulder is playing down a year, because that’s the easier road. Not hard to see the problem and difference.

I just don't understand the LI parent obsession with the notion of holdbacks. All of the teams had big, athletic kids. The Hawks weren't the biggest team there this weekend. Not even close - that was clearly Laxachusetts who lost a few games. I was particularly appalled by the focus on two of our kids - calling them out by number, telling your kids to target them, etc. Like it, believe it, or not, they are 13 years old. I don't have a problem believing that your 6'5 240 pound goalie is 13. He was lights out in the game and I enjoyed watching him play. PT and LIE had phenomenal players with excellent coaching. The parents, however, were embarrassing. I wish that our parents had ignored them but it was pretty much impossible with what was coming out of the LI parents' mouths.
Best of luck to your kids. You never know - some of them could be dorm mates in 5 years.


13 years old now ... but if they turn 14 before December 1, 2018, than they are a holdback as per NY's school calendar year. Yes, I understand that MD and other states use different school calendar years that make their kids "older" per grade, and yes I understand that there are many kids who started kindergarten late due to issues having nothing to do with lacrosse, and yes I understand countless other points relevant to this issue .....

However, all of this nonsense and vitriol can be eliminated if the following were to occur: 1) youth lacrosse separates kids based on date of birth and not grade in school (use Jan 1 - Dec 31, or Sept 1 - Aug 31 - it doesn't matter, just pick one); 2) have birth certificates and official rosters be submitted by the clubs to US Lacrosse each season (certificates need only be submitted once for each player if they are in year 2+ for the club); 3) have an official score sheet for each game, in triplicate, with a roster sticker for each team placed on each copy. The ref and each team's coach signs the sheet after each game, with a copy to each of the teams, one to the tournament, which sends a copy to US lacrosse (each team will have a manager to do this stuff independent of the coaches).

This is exactly what happens in USA hockey, and as a result, ALL parents and coaches trust that everyone is of age and legitimately rostered. Parents can still be jerks to each other concerning penalties and dirty play, but no one bitches and moans about holdbacks, overaged kids, kids driving to 7th grade games, passive aggressive comments meant to be overheard by the other team's parents, etc.

And yes, the next Paul Rabil that is sleeping at each of your houses can play "up" if that is what the parents and the coaches think is best for the kid and the club.

Or we can acknowledge that this is lacrosse and not hockey. I agree - more stringent guidelines could level the playing field - but that doesn’t mean that all states will change their school ages... which means the argument then comes with playing with your age appropriate teammates or your peers that you will be in Highschool and college with. My 14 year old 9th grader played against 19 year old seniors in Highschool. This argument becomes a mute point in a year. Unless you make the rules or host a tournament in which you decide the rules - it is what it is. Just go with it. You won’t have any control over it in Highschool and college...

It was good lacrosse this weekend, regardless of age differences or crazy parents.

People that continually bring this up are diminishing their child’s or their child’s team’s efforts. You are essentially saying you can’t win against them, because they are cheaters - which they aren’t. Or if you win .,, you are so great- because you beat the cheaters. How about we send the message that hard work pays off and eventually things even out. It’s a life lesson and one that will prove fruitful in the future when they are playing with teammates within a 5 year spread, not just a few months.

There was great lacrosse this past weekend. All teams had big, strong, fast kids! Enjoy it. It won’t be around forever.



The post I believe you are responding to speaks to youth lacrosse, not HS lacrosse. What are you are doing is raising a straw man argument - arguing against a point that no one is making, thus creating the illusion that you have "won" the argument. No one, and I mean no one, has ever stated that HS lacrosse should be age based. There is not on single sport that organizes kids by age and not grade at HS. The discussion is, and always has been, about youth travel lacrosse, which everyone understands is defined as 8th grade (or age equivalent) and below.

Your argument about cheating and life lessons is lame. Again, you use a straw man technique. No one is arguing that a team with older kids who are nonetheless in 7th grade (or "plan" on graduating in 2023) is cheating. People are arguing for a change in the system rendering such age differences non-existant, unless you want that for your son, in which case, you choose to have him play up. The argument about life lessons is just simply wrong. There are no life lessons to be learned in soccer, hockey and every other youth sport that groups kids by age??

And no one needs to prepare at the youth level for the wider age spread at the HS level. The HS level is about ability - nothing more. Further, at HS, the age gaps mean less. Your Freshman son who played varsity is a prime example. He played there because he was good enough. If he wasn't, he would have been on JV or the freshman team (if applicable). Again, ALL other sports which use age based youth systems see their kids play in HS. If the kid is good enough, he gets to varsity at a young age. If not, he doesn't. The kid doesn't need to play against 14 year olds in 6th grade in order for this to occur. You are creating a cause and effect when none exists.

If you watched the NHL draft, nearly every kid drafted (you are eligible when you turn 18 prior to Sept 15 following the draft) was coming from a junior team (or sometimes with a European, a professional league). Junior teams start at age 16 and go to age 20. Professional leagues are obviously leagues for men. ALL of these players played age based up to, and through, age 15. When they got to age 16, the best of the best jumped into the big pool of junior hockey where age means nothing and played against kids up through age 20. Club lacrosse can do the same - play per birth year through 15 (or make it stop at 14), and then thereafter, play on a "junior" team vs the best kids age 16 (or 15) and above - through 20. The bottom line in hockey and other sports is no one is worse off because they played on age up through their early teen years. And these sports are much more popular and have higher participation rates than lacrosse.

Not a single 15 year old on that team. Only ONE kid turns 14 before August. The kid everyone thinks is so old (we all know his number) just turned 13 in March. Sorry it is so difficult to give the Hawks credit due.

Good luck in Denver LI parents!

I’m on your side bud. I wish I could afford to have my kid in hockey and lacrosse. Unfortunately I’m just a working class shlep. You know, the one you look down on when you have to sit next to him on the train. I’ve never had anything handed to me in life and I’ll teach my son the same. He’s an on age Faceoff kid who’s worked his butt off to complete at the level he does. I’ve taught him there are no excuses in life regardless of inequality. You probably think any adversity can be overcome with money. Unfortunately money can’t buy you athleticism.
All of the Hawks boys are 13. Some of those games could of went either way but Hawks prevailed. So if the only excuse you have is the holdback card then play it. Its a shame the actions of a few put a damper on such great competition up there. I’m not sure whats worse the few loud mouth parents that dont know the game besides to yell “thats a hold”, “that boy is 20”, “work his back” or the traffic. The boys on the teams were very respectful and showed great sportsmanship.

I wouldn't want to be on this list:
Rank in order of crazy LI coaches:
1. MB from Outlaw/Rebels
2. JC from True Blue
3. Long Beach
4. DK from S2S
5. ?
6. ?
JC and DK very out spoken yes do they curse yes but two excellent coaches IMHO... Don't know anything about Long Beach or Outlaws coach.

Congrats to Hawks. That kid is impressive. I figured he might be older too when I watched in spring. A friend who has a kid on your team told me otherwise and I believe him. I hope the boy and his parents take it as a badge of honor that people assume he's older.

I have 4 kids. My oldest is in college, one graduating from HS, a 2020 and 2023. So I've been through the club evolution as a parent and occasional coach. Prior to about 2013 every MD club and tournament was U11, U13, U15. That includes Crabs, Looneys. Breakers, Hawks, Green Turtle, Madlax or any others that were around at the time. All of Crab, Madlax or Hogan tourneys were aged based. I agreed to help a 2020 team that my son made in 5th grade. When the HC coach told me the tournaments would be in NY and NJ I was pissed. The reason was that we couldn't play in the local events is that we had 2 kids born in the summer of 01. They only tournaments by grade were up north. I pleaded with Hogan and the Madlax guy to let us in U11 but they would only let us in as u13. I found it interesting the the NY teams and tournaments organized by grade since it is to their disadvantage. Ultimately all the MD teams and tournaments switched and followed the lead of NY and switched their youth teams and tournaments to grade. So when I hear and read the complaints from LI about playing against older kids I hope you realize where this started.

It's also where this can change. LI has the most clubs and they travel the most. Ie Hawks were probably the only MD team in the tournament last weekend. In other word tournaments need LI teams to make $. If your teams changed to US Lax age guidelines and only played in age based events, the other regions will follow
Can someone please make the MD boards open so the MD crab munchers can go back to insulting each other again?

Sorry. Go back to howling at the moon about playing against older kids when the problem originated in your back yard. I think I will have crabs this weekend. Best
People cheated way more when it was age based because no one checked. Not sure how folks who keep saying "go age based" don't see this?

At least, even if a kid is held back 10 times....if he is a 2023 he is at least playing by the rules. Might not agree with it, but it is by the rules.
The better teams do not complain & make excuses about the competition they face. When weaker teams enter 'A' divisions & lose they feel the need to find fabricated lies & excuses as to why they lost.If you want a level playing field then play against your own level & stay out of the 'A' division. Accept the fact the some teams are more talented & better coached than others.

Yes. Please open the MD boards so we can leave these Anthonys and Vinnys alone.

Take it easy buddy... just checking my son's schedule (his team is in the B bracket). Honestly hoping it is a mistake. Our guys play hard but can't compete with S2S.
That is the S2S B team. The top S2S team will be out in Denver.

Not the original responder but do feel the same way. There are no other LI teams in that group so are you stalking the kids, the LI teams or the LI lax board? They say admittance is the first sign that you have a problem.

This is the LI, Westchester, and CT forum. Are there no teams from those areas in the group? Check again. Sorry that I asked a legitimate question on this site. Glad to hear it is the B team. I was unaware they had one. Best of luck to the A team in Denver.

So what team does your kid play on? You seem very familiar with the S2S A team. If you are a regular on the board there has been a lot of conversation on their B team.

Take it easy buddy... just checking my son's schedule (his team is in the B bracket). Honestly hoping it is a mistake. Our guys play hard but can't compete with S2S.

CT team will be playing S2S this weekend. So, since there is no CT forum I can assume that I am able to respond in the 2023 forum here?

Why the animosity towards this guy, it was a fair question and it got answered. Just because somebody has posted about S2S B team before doesn't mean that he saw the posts (and it is a new team), maybe he's not trolling all of the forums like some of the people on here... and for what it's worth, pretty sure I saw S2S A team in a B tournament at Mitchell Field last summer
Yes you have my permission to post...
This guy posts a benign, reasonable question and then has to deal with obnoxious stunad(s) responses. The attitude in those responses gives this sport a bad name.

Now that's embarrassing. Hooville & G lacrosse not exactly Annapolis Hawks. I would keep those wins under the radar. Beating 'C' teams is nothing to brag about.

This tournament field was questionable at best with no top rated teams from the region. No Madlax team in a Madlax tournament? The fields are really in the middle of a farm with nothing close by. I wonder why any team would travel to play in this event??

TB dad you are making your self look like a fool. You must be one of the dads on the team that everyone can’t stand. TB will never rise to the level of a top team. If you need to come on here and make sure everyone knows your kid played and won it means no relevant teams were at the tournament.

I thought it was just a north shore tryout But if true, 3 teams is crazy unless you have committed coaches. Most teams don’t.
Express vs Bandits on course to play at 6pm tomorrow on ESPN. Express has 2 of the top 3 scorers in the tourney.

Too bad express and bandits had to travel to Denver, spend a bunch of cash only to play each other. I’m sure evolve and next level will have something to say about that first.

Yes but its TB North Shore and there gonna add more age groups, there thinking is North Shore kids don't want to travel to south shore for practice, that's why there emphasizing "all practices will be on beautiful north shore fields"

Yup - such a shame. All of the participants must have had a miserable time. Staying on the island would have been the same experience.

Why? Despite the naysayers. It is a world class run event. And kids get chance to play in front of millions of people on ESPN. Make no mistake this event is here to stay and has become the priority for clubs to attend. Plus the competition doesn't seem so one sided, it won't be long before another region makes the final. I am a little surprised Maryland and NE haven't sent a team yet. That said, tell me who plays club lax won't be watching or DVRer the final? Is it a lot of money to go, yes, but teams have a year to fund raise. But everyone that goes loves it.

Top scorer is a great player but a 2022 on channys teamof course makes the age cut off tho. I get teams of other areas doing this but Long Island teams shouldn’t have to kids who are on this team all year take the back seat. It’s frustrating
What happened to Igloo at WSYL??

Next Level pulls off the upset and takes down Express. Refs call a onesided game so WSYL lives another year and doesn't turn into a Long Island event in Denver.

I guess Next Level & Evolve didn't have much to say.
They stink
Igloo who?
Crabs went to the finals of the first WSYL, as they started to enforce age based teams some teams like Crabs couldn’t qualify. Last year’s final was Chan v Prime Time a non-LI team...granted Express kicked their butt they did get to the finals! The question is, will teams continue to fly to Denver spend thousands of dollars knowing they have no chance? Look at the disparity in the scores....it’s a lot of money to spend, I think it will get harder and harder to justify when you could easily spend it on a family vacation to Wallyworld!

Hey if you have that kind of coin to spend so be it, but if not, once all the emotion and hype settles it's extremely difficult justifying spending that amount of money on youth lacrosse. Which lends me to believe the organizations are the ones benefiting from this event...
Seems like a real waste of time and money to fly to Colorado to play in an averarge to below average tournament, which is really what is if you take away the big name. Marketing is very transparent. This is definitely not a representation of the best teams. But a BIG waste of time and money!
Don't worry we will be in Delaware in a couple of weeks playing better competition for less then half the price!
Do you see the Express dad actually wearing the team jersey in the team jersey in the stands? What a hammerhead.
NLF will be at Lehigh with ESPN there and a couple
Of weeks. The writing is on the wall for the wsyl.
Teams will have their regular players there and the competition will exceed Denver.
Wow, some real low level trolls here. Let me get this straight, igloo loses once and they stink? An express dad wears his sons team colors and you criticize? I guess S2S going 3-3 makes them irrelevant too?

I have no son on one of these teams. I've just met and know a bunch of kids and families on these teams from our time at tournaments. Anyone here who's kids play on Long Island does. Can't we celebrate them? Feel good about them having an amazing showing in a national tournament? Even if we chose a team for our son that didn't go? I felt happy for every kid I recognized. Good for them and I'm so happy their families got to experience it. But then again, I'm part of the rational, mature majority.

Keep trolling, you show your jealousy.

Yea, nothing like 15 year old playing against 13 year olds.. If that's what it takes for your son to win, to play against kids a year or 2 younger, whatever you are a loser..

Parents are so deranged. They now call their cheating year-older kids "regular" players. Hey! "Regular" players are on age. Irregular kids are kids that are a year older kids that play down. That aint "regular". Those are loser kids that can't play with kids their own age.

They stink And so does S 2 S.
OK... OK... OK. We get it. The Bandits claim the on age title... Hawks, Duke's, ACS claim the grade based... Nobody cares. Move on. Next topic.
In my opinion this tournament should be geared towards the rising juniors. Include the younger teams but showcase the rising juniors. With the change in recruiting this would be the best opportunity for players and teams to showcase their skill and it actually be worth the trip. When this tournament came into existence kids were getting commitments in 9th grade. Now its September of Junior year.
When will the Nonstop complaining about age and holdbacks in youth lacrosse come to an end. If you did not notice in this age based wsyl tournament the avg ht of the kids was prob 5'8" + weighing up to 200 lbs, at 13 years olld!! Big kids come from big parents. Kids will always mature at different rates just fact of life. Once the kids hit JV and HS age will mean nothing. For those incessantly complaining about age at this grade level you only care about winning a tshirt and bragging about your kids team success. Having your kid play against better competition will only make him better, regardless of what goes behind it. Holdbacks are a fact of life, nothing you can do about it. Concern yourself more about the quality of coaching and how your kid is developing as a player than the age of opponents on a field. As always too much emphasis on winning those big tournaments than letting your kid develop. With a little hard work and time it all evens out in the end...
Two LI teams playing each other in Denver. Total waste of money for the families who don't have the money to blow.

I disagree, there are enough showcases out there for juniors. I have no son playing anymore so I have no interest in this other than enjoying really good young lax players play.
Keep it with the younger guys just like baseball LL does.

Actually, everyone cares except for the 14U player daddy's whose kids play on 13U teams because they aren't good enough to play on age in their own 14U bracket. How embarrassing for all of you!!


Bandits win the 13U. Which team wins the 14U?? Still Bandits 13U!

w.a.d.r. what a dumb idea. keep it age based. my rising junior just finished a prospect day with his 2020 group. at 15 years old he was almost 3 years younger than some of the private boys and 2 years younger than most other.there should be at least i tourny where boys can play on age,even if it is only for a b.s. world championship.and yes my boy did better than most at his position. he was selected for the all star game.has been playing up since 1st grade.

So your team lost in Denver because you couldn’t bring your holdbacks. So WSYL is no good? Were you the one last week saying “real” teams were playing In Denver? Guess you weren’t as “stacked” as you thought. Good idea to refocus on the “cheat to win” plan to regain your “reputation” Great example you set for youth athletes !
Any player that gets held back for anything other than academics (or growth factors), is a cheater - parents are cheaters as well. Period. And the rest of the true age players and parents they know or play with hold them in contempt. And you are simply ignorant if you think otherwise. Must feel good to cheat to ‘get ahead’ - Don’t worry honest kids and parents. Karma will catch up to these losers.

Are you insane? The average height and weight was no where close to what you claim. Nice to make up facts to try to fit your agenda.

So I assume you let your 13 year old drive and drink alcohol. Because, as you argue, they will all be doing this at HS, so why not at 13?? Right? Do you realize that the "its grade based at HS" argument is just false. What you do at the youth level should be about what is best for the youths who are playing. It should not be - let's just copy what they do in HS. No other youth sport says "let's do at our youth levels exactly what they do at HS, because you know, they will all be in HS eventually". Otherwise, baseball will have LL play on a ML size diamond, hockey would have checking at Squirts and Pee Wees, football will not use weight limits, etc.

The maturity argument is lame also. Of course kids mature at different rates. So do the older holdback kids. An on-age kid who matured early has an advantage; an older holdback kid who matured early has a bigger advantage. The strawman arguments don't work. No one is looking to eliminate kids who mature early. An age based system will just limit their effect (because they will just be more mature - not older AND more mature).

The "better competition" argument is also lame. Just find your kid's level on age. Or have your kid play up. Under any age based system, a parent will still be able to have their kid play up if that is what they want. Further, your team can play up if they seek better competition and the organization thinks its best for their development.

"Concern yourself more about the quality of coaching and how your kid is developing as a player than the age of opponents on a field." Just more of the same boring lame arguments. Maybe you are not capable of such, but most adults are able to multitask - their brains permit them to monitor their child's coaching and development while also "concerning" themselves about the ages of kids on the field. You may be able to do only one of these at a time, but most adults can handle both.

Great game WSYL 91 and LIE!

You are truly the gold standard for our kids.
Arguably, I'm new to the youth lacrosse scene, but what makes lacrosse unique vis-a-vis other youth sports? If football, basketball, soccer, etc. can utilize age-based teams/leagues, why not lacrosse? College recruiting is not a valid argument since all of those sports are also played in college. I guess the entrenched powers have reason to keep the status quo, but it seems like the current system encourages kids to be held back in school just to gain an advantage. Maybe the solution is just too obvious to work...

No gold standard just just a bad attempt at cheating.
When do kids start dropping out of travel lax? In watching some of these tournaments, some of these kids are really terrible. Of course as long as someone is willing to pay these organizations will creat B and C teams. My son plays on a solid B. He is a fogo so a unique position and continues to develop the talent. There are kids on his team that can even catch consistently, barely run for the ball. It is like they don’t want to be there. I just can’t imagine forking out 3k to watch my kid give zero effort or bring a team down. So curious if the numbers start to dwindle.
Obviously Long Island has the best players in the country. Every year at an age based tournament 2 Long Island teams are in the finals. Strong Island Lax!

Spoken by a true FLID.
A lot of credit to Chan, he figures out how to bring down the best player in the tourney to stock AJ's team. Makes Igloo and S2S look stupid.
LIE, you got a great team your players are phenomenal and they were great in Denver.
However, you have to class it up a notch or two on the sidelines.
.
Not saying you need to hit Brooks Brothers, but perhaps something better
From a non-east coast parent, why was the crowd yelling boo and other choice words at Spallina? Is he hated that much?
If you want to know the difference 1 grade(8th graders) can make just look at express. The first team all world players were both in 8th grade. Now the one player is great and a starter on the Chan team and would start for any team out there. 1 year people. What a difference.

You do realize that this is a ridiculous argument and not the norm...although people seem to whine about it incessantly.

Please do the math. The majority of all private and public schools have age limitations in high school. A student athlete cannot be 19 before the start of their senior year (some states July 1, Aug 31, Sept 1)... If you are thinking that kids are 15 in 7th grade >>rising 8th grade... That means the summer after 8th they are 16, the summer after 9th they are 17, summer after 10th they are 18 and the summer after 11th they are 19....making these students ineligible to play their senior year in high school.

Do you really think that youth lacrosse would trump being eligible/ineligible in high school?

Until a program or organization that hosts tournaments and leagues enforces the US Lacrosse age guidelines; which is the only way that all of this is remedied.... please stop griping and just deal with it.

All World team......geez
was that booing you hear at the end of the WSYL game?? It looks like Express, down 3, drops back to let Bandits run out final seconds and then a kid goes in and scores with 5 seconds left. Stay classy Bandits.

Nope! Re-read my first sentence. Love that team. Special respect to those boys that commute to play with you. Tons of heart.

My family watched the replay on ESPN last night. My youngest asked me why the one mom who was jumping in front of the camera like she was on MTV’s Daytona Spring Break was so purple? Then the guy who looked like a meth-cook with the beard got footage and I had to answer a whole slew of other questions. Then he asked me if the “normal people (families from 91) were going to be safe with “those other people”. Well it all got really weird trying to explain it all. You probably can appreciate his concern.
Why is it wrong to wear your son's jersey in the stands? Everyone at the event was wearing something from the organization their son plays for. The Dad you call a Hammer Head has probably spent countless time and money supporting his son to get him to that point. The fact that he is proud of his son is admirable.

Ummmm. nope, cannot appreciate your concern one bit. First, something must be wrong with your tv if a person appeared purple. Second, if your kid is making comments like that, maybe you should expend some of the energy you use critiquing people's appearances on teaching your kid to not men rash judgments about people based upon their appearances. People like you you are exactly why there will always be prejudiced people in the world.
Sorry you and your son had to WATCH a replay of the game on ESPN. It was an awesome experience being there. One that you will never know....I guess your son wasnt on one of the 4 Long Island teams that made it. When you come down to express tryouts make sure you say hello!

Sticks and stones will break bones but your words will not tarnish the pride the parents have for their boys. Congrats to 91, Express and all the teams that made it to WSYL. Work hard and play hard!!

Regular team? I gues you mean You need to see your Holdback 14/15 yrd old Johnny beat up on 13yr oldsHaHaHaHa


Yea, nothing like 15 year old playing against 13 year olds.. If that's what it takes for your son to win, to play against kids a year or 2 younger, whatever you are a loser..



You do realize that this is a ridiculous argument and not the norm...although people seem to whine about it incessantly.

Please do the math. The majority of all private and public schools have age limitations in high school. A student athlete cannot be 19 before the start of their senior year (some states July 1, Aug 31, Sept 1)... If you are thinking that kids are 15 in 7th grade >>rising 8th grade... That means the summer after 8th they are 16, the summer after 9th they are 17, summer after 10th they are 18 and the summer after 11th they are 19....making these students ineligible to play their senior year in high school.

Do you really think that youth lacrosse would trump being eligible/ineligible in high school?

Until a program or organization that hosts tournaments and leagues enforces the US Lacrosse age guidelines; which is the only way that all of this is remedied.... please stop griping and just deal with it.




The prep schools that make up the MIAA do not have to follow the state guidelines for age if they do not want to.
Lots of jealous people out there. Sad, really.
Please stop bashing those who attend the WSYL and to those who participated try and understand that there are differing levels of participation and importance of lacrosse in our children's lives. My son and I attended this year and it was an amazing experience as his team won a few games and got blown out in some others. Back home we have tons of friends that just don't understand what my son wants to do and accomplish in lacrosse partly because their kids have other interests or just haven't developed physically yet. I don't bash them and vice versa.

Please stop with the True Blue nonsense. They do not belong in the same conversation with those other 3 teams. I believe TB went 1 - 3 in that tourney.

Interesting in that I don’t know many of those teams. No, I don’t care to handicap the bracket. Why would I? My son is playing in that tournament. I found the group interesting since it is on LI and there aren’t a lot of the usual LI teams playing. I then asked a simple question what other tournaments kids were playing this weekend. It was a simple question. What’s your issue?

Isn't their coach a loud mouth assistant of a D2 school who thinks he's the coach of Duke?

Not many teams would have done better than 1 - 3 with the schedule TB had in that tourney.
Congrats to 3 Village winning the Bash at the Beach. Beating the other A team in the finals to win a T-shirt at a B tournament. Hope that both teams in the finals coaches are really proud of themselves.You brought your teams to beat up on less talented kids instead of playing one of many a level tourments today... double digit wins really make your kids better 🤦‍♂️

Not a 3 Village parent (and my kid wasn’t at that tournament) but I don’t think you can complain that they one. Maybe they didn’t need to drive up scores but they were the better team. If they were on grade they had every right to be there.
Guess the Express teams ranking of number 2 in the “World” lasted 10 day with a terrible showing at the Millon tournament. They struggled in every game.
The 8thgrade attackmen who scored 90% of express’s goals at WSYL was not there. He’s back playing with Chan. Without him they’re a very average team.

A lot of close games at the Millon Nat'l Club Championships for Rising 8th Grade tourney (what a mouthful) in MD. Express, S2S, Igloo, all in tough games and didn't win it all. The teams who won a lot of games are dominated by what we call holdbacks and what they call normal. The LI teams are very good. Maybe the local boys should take these same squads and go back to the same tourney next year as 2024 to keep things fair because kids their age from down south are in that class.

You don't know the half of it. Check the MD forum link for inside scoops-- winning teams were poaching players anywhere they could to point where Millon kicked a kid out. And if he kicks a kid out after playing his own son in the tourney though he just finished 8th grade then you know stacking rosters is out of control.

You need to get over it. Everybody gets their butt kicked now and then. No one knew how weak the teams would be at the tournament. Trust me, if those teams knew how weak it was, they would have skipped it. I’m guessing you’re one of the LI moms who started drinking at 9:30am and couldn’t shut up on the sidelines.

They went 4-1. Got to the semis & lost to a very good team that went on to win the championship. Not a exactly a terrible showing.

When a team that competes in the A level tournaments or A level brackets of Lax Fest plays a known B tournament instead of an a tournament they know exactly what they are doing. There are different level tournaments and brackets so there are competitive games. No one learns a darn thing from a double digit loss. Ward Melville could have run up the score more, but they have some class.

At least True Blue knows that they are not a B level team and don’t drop down to win a T-Shirt. Look, I know my kid isn’t not a superstar. We play on a B level team so he can see the field and play against kids of similar skill and athletics ability.
What does True Blue have to do w this? Where did they play?

It's the wild wild west out there. Any team not from LI had a ton of holdbaks. Half the Philly Freedom kids are hired guns pulled from the Duke National team. The True team was huge and got caught taking trying to have the Hawks kid play on the team for the weekend. DC Dogs was the best U15 team in a rising 8th grade bracket.
Agreed. I was there. LI Express is very well coached. I don't think lax will ever be without cheating until US lax demands ID's like hockey and lacrosse.

I'm not an Express parent. The top 1/2 of talented teams had very close, some OT, games. And yes, MD forum looking more bitter than LI, imagine that.

The only terrible showing was by the outlaws during the Express game and then the following day they get into a fight during a game. They are a poor excuse for a team, blame the coaches because they are not teaching the kids the game, especially the coach that feels it's ok to go across the field not once but 2x a game to call out people. And some of the parents - holy crap you need to grow up and stop screaming at kids and coaches4az

I know some people want to think this, but truth is if you call the Rebels office they will answer and explain to you, like they did to me... that they are completely separate and will be ran very professional with a lot of backing... my son will be trying out, and I would suggest you call and speak to them about what they are putting together... the guys at blatant have been great so far... go rebels!

I guess we should ignore the fight express had in the first game against Texas I guess we should ignore the express parents yelling at 13 year old players on the field (reason why coach went over and ask you to stop). I guess we should ignore the express mom asking the Outlaw mom to stand up and fight. How do your coaches teach the game? Boys, this weekend your all benched for the tournament because we going to bring down our 2022’s and play, so watch and learn. Should we ignore that also? Having older kids play tends to make coaches look better. I guess your leadership is what we should aspire to follow.

You need to get over it. Everybody gets their butt kicked now and then. No one knew how weak the teams would be at the tournament. Trust me, if those teams knew how weak it was, they would have skipped it. I’m guessing you’re one of the LI moms who started drinking at 9:30am and couldn’t shut up on the sidelines.


When a team that competes in the A level tournaments or A level brackets of Lax Fest plays a known B tournament instead of an a tournament they know exactly what they are doing. There are different level tournaments and brackets so there are competitive games. No one learns a darn thing from a double digit loss. Ward Melville could have run up the score more, but they have some class.

At least True Blue knows that they are not a B level team and don’t drop down to win a T-Shirt. Look, I know my kid isn’t not a superstar. We play on a B level team so he can see the field and play against kids of similar skill and athletics ability.


You can keep thinking that if it makes you feel better.

I guess we should ignore the fight express had in the first game against Texas I guess we should ignore the express parents yelling at 13 year old players on the field (reason why coach went over and ask you to stop). I guess we should ignore the express mom asking the Outlaw mom to stand up and fight. How do your coaches teach the game? Boys, this weekend your all benched for the tournament because we going to bring down our 2022’s and play, so watch and learn. Should we ignore that also? Having older kids play tends to make coaches look better. I guess your leadership is what we should aspire to follow.


I know it sounds like weak chest thumping but I don't see how I could ever tolerate having my son on a team where some unknown ringers just show up and play on his team unannounced, taking away playing time and disrupting team cohesion. I have always said I'd just yank my kids and get my money back. I get why people take it. But it is weak to me.

Outlaws is now going to be REBELS which is still going to be trash. You can't hide MB or PB.


I know some people want to think this, but truth is if you call the Rebels office they will answer and explain to you, like they did to me... that they are completely separate and will be ran very professional with a lot of backing... my son will be trying out, and I would suggest you call and speak to them about what they are putting together... the guys at blatant have been great so far... go rebels!


Sorry it's still a wolf in sheep's clothing, still the same nonsense you even get a fancy new uniform.

That game was pretty close, closer than the score of 10-5, and outlaws missing 5 kids. Top kids going to Rebels and lots of kids from different organizations I have been talking to will be at tryouts...

You're posting your own club post. Still the same lies.
That game was not close at all. And, keep in mind that their "face off" kid knocked both Express face off kids out of the game with what seemed to be pretty serious injuries because he had no knowledge of how to correctly face off. Instead he used his stick as a weapon, which was encouraged by the coaches. A disgraceful way to play the game.
It's time to get new Rebel tats on your mom's back. Right next to the "it's a bad day to be an Outlaw" tattoo.

That will look super with the Rebel tank top and cut off jean micro mini skirt. When are tryouts? Will I need a pick up truck if my kid makes the team?

No we are going to follow your lead and grow huge guts. Then squeeze into our 13 year olds game pinnie to stand in the bleachers while chewing on gum like a cow.
Any opinions on the 91 eval camp? Don't think my son will make the JS team but is it worth giving the Warriors a shot if he makes the team? Were they competitive this year, What about the teams structure? # of coaches, winter training, practice location, daddy coaches, etc...
Thanks

A lot of close games at the Millon Nat'l Club Championships for Rising 8th Grade tourney (what a mouthful) in MD. Express, S2S, Igloo, all in tough games and didn't win it all. The teams who won a lot of games are dominated by what we call holdbacks and what they call normal. The LI teams are very good. Maybe the local boys should take these same squads and go back to the same tourney next year as 2024 to keep things fair because kids their age from down south are in that class.


It's the wild wild west out there. Any team not from LI had a ton of holdbaks. Half the Philly Freedom kids are hired guns pulled from the Duke National team. The True team was huge and got caught taking trying to have the Hawks kid play on the team for the weekend. DC Dogs was the best U15 team in a rising 8th grade bracket.


Not true. We played freedom a couple weeks ago at summer slam and it was the same team. We won at summer slam but they just played better this time.
I see Bethesda listed in the 2023 AA Division at the NLF tournament this weekend at Lehigh U, but I have heard from numerous parents that they are not going because their season is over.

Is the NLF aware of this, because it will not be good /fair for our team to come play only 1 game because the NLF was not on top of this.

This is actually pretty funny considering that two different people, with no vested interest in Freedom, have told you that they have seen most of the same kids all summer...and yes, there are usually a few black and green helmets on the team all summer.

$3,500 all in plus your own clinics.
Did Bethesda get disqualified at NLF in Lehigh? Appears so by their scores 0-1 losses both games.
Did anyone else hear that the Duke's LC are starting Duke's Long Island?

See the quoted post from a few days earlier.

I was talking to a parent from the Madlax team that told me that Bethesda had never registered or planned to be in the tournament. So basically the tournament organizers for this age group, who I heard were the 91 people, (that's what I heard) knew all along but left the mistake on the schedule.
91 tryouts today-26th
Expres July31-1st
Igloo July 31-1st
S2S Aug 6/8th

Have to think there is a bit of a shuffle this season with boys trying out for Express who intend on going to one of the Catholics. S2S gonna be picking through the scraps to field a team.

Run away? Why?

The HC treats them like an A team, gets them great Warrior gear for cheap or free and they practice a ton and play at the right level.

They play serious box lax and they do well with what they are handed roster wise after JS takes the best kids away from them. If you want your son to get a chance to play and he is an A-/B+ player then you can not go wrong. If your boy can make and play for the Bandits or Honey Badgers, then you wouldn't be asking. I say let it rip.
How much player movement will we see on the most competitive teams on LI?
If you like the organization, does it mean much to try and change teams now, if your sone is on one of those "so called top 5 teams" on LI?
A standout is a standout when they play in the right tourneys! Right???
I don't want to create a pissing match. Just a realistic opinion from experienced parents. PLEASE

S2S needs a new coach, he jumped ship. There must be chaos in Fantasy land over there. Is Kelly next to go?
What happened to the "world Champions" at NLF?? The NLF didn't even have top competition, and Bandits couldn't even make playoffs. This "world Champion" business needs to stop, it's embarrassing!!
Who jumped ship? Sounds like someone is stirring the pot prior to Igloo and Express tryouts

They have nothing to be embarrassed about actually. They lost in the semis to a team made up of kids 2 years older, pulled from other teams and not even on the original submitted rosters! Now THAT’S embarrassing!

What’s embarrassing is making excuses for losing. Funny you bring up double holdbacks. Pretty sure the “best 8th grader” is one. So this practice is obviously condoned by the coach.

Kelly might go with Hagans, who knows the real reason. Heard it was a disaster over there this past year.

Kids are saying one of the coaches sons told everyone he's going back to Express. Could be an issue if others follow.
Why no prices yet ? Lacrosse privilege sport for sure !

I think the bigger question here is do those "standouts" actually play on these top teams? we all know there are plenty of talented kids on these top teams that don't touch the field (daddy coaches, politics, tons of other reasons). Teams that roster 30 kids and play 18-20. I think this is when those kids and parents need to make a big decision on staying there to save face and saying they are on a top team or changing to a team that offers a better opportunity for their son to play, prosper and be seen. You can only be seen if you are playing the game.

Not the same poster as above, so save your foolish responses. How can you honestly knock what is obviously a pretty accurate statement. While I do not have a kid that plays for 91, there is no question that they are the top 2023 team when age is the deciding factor. The last two weekends of lacrosse were ridiculous, if this keeps up, every club is just going to play kids down and there will be absolutely no advantage anymore. What if 91 were to bring down a few 22's or 21's to play in the 2023 bracket, I bet that you wouldn't be so smug with your comments anymore, and you would probably be the first to complain that they only won because they used older kids. Just think of the distinct advantage the 91 kids will have when they get to high school, they will be use to playing older, bigger and faster kids, while the holdback kids will be in for a rude awakening when they realize that they are mostly average at best.
Can anyone advise on how the playing time is on Igloo, S2S or FL$ 2023 teams.

Any bad experiences with players on Igloo, S2S or FL$.

Not the same poster as above, so save your foolish responses. How can you honestly knock what is obviously a pretty accurate statement. While I do not have a kid that plays for 91, there is no question that they are the top 2023 team when age is the deciding factor. The last two weekends of lacrosse were ridiculous, if this keeps up, every club is just going to play kids down and there will be absolutely no advantage anymore. What if 91 were to bring down a few 22's or 21's to play in the 2023 bracket, I bet that you wouldn't be so smug with your comments anymore, and you would probably be the first to complain that they only won because they used older kids. Just think of the distinct advantage the 91 kids will have when they get to high school, they will be use to playing older, bigger and faster kids, while the holdback kids will be in for a rude awakening when they realize that they are mostly average at best.


You mean like 2022 91 Smash does when the same kid plays for 2020 and then down at 2022? 91 Smash is a great team with him, but just average with the usual competition without him. They all do it - just sayin.

S2S Aug 6/8th

Have to think there is a bit of a shuffle this season with boys trying out for Express who intend on going to one of the Catholics. S2S gonna be picking through the scraps to field a team.


S2S needs a new coach, he jumped ship. There must be chaos in Fantasy land over there. Is Kelly next to go?

Kelly might go with Hagans, who knows the real reason. Heard it was a disaster over there this past year.

Kids are saying one of the coaches sons told everyone he's going back to Express. Could be an issue if others follow.

Hagan's went to Rebels. Wow, what happened over there? Couldn't win Denver and now coaches are leaving.


You guys should really make sure the kids give you the right info before you pretend to be Louis Lane and rebels to the internet wires. He was the coach of the second team. He had nothing to do with the first team.
This conversation is one of the many reasons why club lacrosse should move to age-based. Use calendar year, or Sept 1 to Aug 31, it doesn't matter. But just play like against like. No more drama or bad blood, and more even competition for a larger pool of kids. A super team can just play regional tournaments against other super teams, or play up. Dominant kids can play up if that is what the parents want. A much better and more predictable way of having kids (especially ones from different regions) compete, get better and have fun.

Frankly, it's all a mess. Unfortunately, teams are unwilling to walk away from things like the NLF that provide a venue for the holdback events for fear of losing players. While US lacrosse is not perfect by any means, it could be a vehicle for change if the directors of the big clubs showed some support instead of simply giving in because "everybody else is doing it"

The directors in the big clubs dont just give in, theu support and encourage that status quo.

There is a reason that the summer club circuit does not have verifiable rosters at every event..

News flash "He was fired". Kelly might be next.
I’ve heard of the key players is leaving S2S. Could be an issue for S2S.

F$G gets all the players on the field every game, the better players might get a little more playing time but everyone plays.
My son went to some clinic run by F$G last night, how competative is that team I heard they have a good training program all year round.
Since all the WSYL hype has went away, there are a lot of good alternatives out there to choose from. It's time to focus on lacrosse as a whole opposed to just practicing to win upcoming tournaments.
Hearing a lot of great things from Rebels tryouts a bunch of kids showed up day one and from what I have been hearing a bunch more kids are going to be there on the 6th 7th and 8th good mix of helmets from different my son wasn’t there but after what I have been hearing I think I’m going to check them out wondering what other people thoughts are
At our son’s age, you should be more concerned with field time than who is coaching what. While some coaches are probably better than others, by now your son’s basics should be on point and should now be increasing his lacrosse IQ. You only get that with game time on the field. You need to find a place for your son with a decent coach and where he will play a good amount of time. Sure, your son might be good enough to be on a AA team or A team, but would he see the field? There is no reason to sit the bench just to be on a “named” team.

played them at Hershey. They were good, but their best shooter had an Igloo helmet on, this years helmet.
My son was there and will NOT be going back. This is shaping up to be a low B team at best. Save your time and $ unless that would be an improvement for your kid
That team will not be good. I doubt they make it through the season intact

We were there as well. Notheing new just a rehash of bad things gone by. We will take the loss and not go back. I agree that this is a weak B team in the making
DK is out. Washes out of Express, Igloo and now S2S.

My thoughts are..... run as far away as you can, same coaches with most of the players from the old organization. My sons team played them last year and kids are good but several parents are nuts. The coaches complain alot especially when things don't go their way its everyone else's fault attitude. Coaches not setting any good example and out coached.

How do you know who the club is selecting? Maybe they are taking some of the new talented kids that showed up?

Hysterical. Total joke seeing a post like that. This age group and all others were garbage at those tryouts. B team is being generous. They’re going to need to pay coaches salaries so they’ll be taking whatever they can get.

So now you know who they are selecting AND you were at the entire tryout to see the talent level for the entire day?? It’s clear you have an agenda against MB, but I was there, it was great and know many others have felt the same. If you have any beef why don’t you call their office instead of making things up behind a computer screen? Don’t come back to the actual tryouts.

Maybe this is another’s club direct who feels threatened OR heard a lot of his kids were at the Rebels tryouts?

If you are still looking for that right team when tour son is going into 8th grade... look in the mirror, maybe you are the problem, not the coaches....

Who is the coaching staff for 2023, I heard a bunch of very good players from top teams are trying out.

I don't know what game you were watching but there was no player with an Igloo helmet,
Maybe tour spelling is the problem.

91 got 100 kids at tryouts for 3 teams and the top 2 will probably take 4-5 kids. If you’re content to pay for Coach’s kids and watch them take all the PT stay where you are....

Couldn't be more wrong. If you are looking for a club for your son, talk to the parents and kids on the team. Don't believe any negativity on this site. Go do your due diligence and go to tryouts and make your own observations. There will always be animosity on this site. It's appalling.

So what was the big fall out? I think you will seee movement at this age because kids are being perused for high school. O’Rielly is actively recruiting kids for his new coaching gig at LuHigh. If he places kids from outside express you may see them move over to Express. Problem with that is it will bump out other kids.
91 tuition is $3800 for 2023 Bandits and Warriors teams
PLUS a 3.5% processing fee (are you joking, can you say money grab)
So its actually $3933-

91 tuition is $2995 for 2023 Spartans
PLUS a 3.5% processing fee (money grab)
So its actually $3100-
Where is DK going????

Aside from the bandits, there are much better options out there. Some at half the price or even less. There’s a team consisting of 100% age eligible players that beat the warriors twice this past season that costs around $1800.

The Warriors are not a 4K team, especially how much they struggled this year. Hope kids had other tryouts in their pocket besides the Warriors... Like someone said earlier, run the other way.

any thoughts on that F$G team, thinking of given tryouts a shot
Team 91 rosters starting to come out.

So far they have release 2nd grade 2029 Pride team
35 players listed...... what?????
They should rename that Romper Room

Also released 3rd grade 2028 Orange team
24 players listed .... still too many
And 3rd grade 2028 White team
28 players... riduculous.Money Grab. They dont care at all about this team.

Just tells you to expect overloaded rosters for older grades as well.
Can you say money grab?

Heard they are good, but there is a lawsuit pending.
Look for thread on BOTC forum for info.
You need to decide whether that affects your decision.
Congratulations to the 2023 Warrior Team from Long Island for winning it all!
