It's the start of the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group
So Express HB'ers are bringing in hold backs? wth?? Have some integrity. That is CHEATING! Spin it anyway you want. If you can't Beat the Bandits then CHEAT to TRY and beat them!! Sad. I guess the September 01 birthday doesn't matter to them. CHEATERS & LOSERS

They have a bunch of kids who have birthdays prior to Sept 2004. Their best Mid is a July 04 birthday. 2 of the city kids are early Sept '04. That's the only way Channy knows how to beat teams.
Is it any different than S2S ? I'm sure Bandits are doing it. That leaves the coachless Igloo

The 9/1 is the age cutoff for US Lacrosse sanctioned events. Doesn't seem like it is going to have a huge impact on 90% of organized lacrosse activities.
When you say HB is bringing in holdbacks, are they going into 6th grade? Until tournaments and clubs align on age based structure, grade based is going to rule......and all the issues that come with it. So like it or not but as long as it isn't a kid going into 7th grade, they aren't cheating
Well we won't have to worry about those teams in the WOrld Series Lacrosse Championship in 7th grade because THEY are going by September 01!!!

When they play in "U#" sanctioned tournaments; they are 100% CHEATING!!

It's amazing the guy is such an obvious AH and yet desperate parents bring their
kids to Express tryouts. Seriously, I don't get it. Why subjest your kid to playing on a 3rd line, or be the 2nd FOGO or play for the B team when your kid can play 100% of the time on an AA team at one of the other otganizations like Outlaws, Legicy, Empire.
Legacy beat Igloo. Cutoff was May 2 so Legacy brought some older kids. The World Series realized it was a gray area so they are making it legit and using September 1 this year. So Express, 91, and a few other teams will have to show up with half their teams.....and obviously not their better half!

When was the last time anyone played in a U# tournament??? This will have no affect.
Is Icon going to have a team at the grade level? Rumor is all the kids from last year are bailing.

This is a critical year for the 6th graders. Parents should be very very
Much aware that it's extremely important they land their
kids with an organizations TOP team where he will play his fair share. Winning tournaments/tee-shirts is not what this about. In a year or two,
College Coaches could care less about scores of games, what club you play for or the jersey you wear. They will sit on the sidelines and watch the
Kids who are playing on the field. Find a team with stability with coaches who
are committed to making your kids better. Those tryouts are where you should be.
Tryouts and what parents should be doing:
Ninety One - Bandits
PROS: are the best but will always look to find the one or two players who have improved so much that they are better than existing kids. They will dominate again because of JS ability to coach winning team.
CONS: He will carry a small roster so he can run with his best Kids most of the game. You know in advance what you get with this team - if your good, you'll play, if not, you'll sit. Not many open spots to steal so crazy that parents would try.
OPINION: Avoid!
Badgers -
PROS: probably the most athletic team with some depth. Fairly solid at each position. They should do well but other teams are clearly closing the gap. Alot of depth at midfield With 2 very good goalies.
CONS: team is self imploding. They had trouble this year moving to the next level of play even though they had the goods to do so. Parents control the coach's decisions which is a recipe for disaster. Alot of coaching "favors" on the team that hmders their ability to play the right kids. Still very unstable situation that sill take
Another disappointing year to fix.
OPINION:Avoid!
Igloo:
PROS: 1st team to beat the Bandits. Great accomlishment. Solid team
Made up of a bunch of hand picked Manhassett 32 players from Daddy coaches. They proved this past year that they can compete and will again this year.
CONS: turmoil with coaching. Head coach leaves after providing a solid
Season. 2nd time AA has made that change at the top which doesn't allow the team to get settled. Will they change it up every year?? I would caution going to this team this year because of the uncertaintybof too many variables.
OPINION: Go check out tryouts
Out-laws:
PROS: MB is doing a great job rebuilding this organization and team. New coach with a winning experience and record. Some good players. They will find ways to have goodntournament showings.
CONS: you nust never know what you will get with this team mostly because
Of the constant changes at the helm. Rebuilding year. Will have mostly disappointing runs at the better clubs.
OPINION: checkout tryous
Legacy:
PROS: up and coming organozation and team. Recently won world series which showed alot of naysayers that they are for real. Very solid group of core kids with some obvious holes. Consistent head coaching and new coach coming in with a winning record should provide an immediate lift to the next level. Tremendous opportunity for kids who want and should be playing in the first 10 spots.
CONS: depth at various positions. Need to show they can compete.
OPINION: Go to Tryouts
S2S
PROS: DK has done a great job with what he has to deal with. Had an impressive year with some talented North Shore kids. They will be competitive again this year.
CONS: not 100% sure of their model. Mostly local Manhassett kids so the pool isn't their to continually feed the A team. Hand picked additions. No real tryouts. Not too sure that model can sustain itself very long. Not a place
If you want exposure.

Don't bother. Personally picked few from Manhassett.
spot on summation
The team that has spots open that nobody ever talks about is True Blue. The coaches of this team are the varsity coach of Massapequa because his son is on the team, and the coach of Adelphi.
Seems to me that this would be the team to try out for.

Agree JC is a good guy
Team has been up and down over the years primarily because of JC and his inability to put a winning team together. They had good kids at one time and were pushing hard to be the best but they all left because of the uncertainty. THE ARE A LONG SHOT!! too many years away from being anything good if at all possible
AVOID!
Now we are cooking with gas. Thanks for the info. Someone with knowledge do it for the b teams. Trying to figure out what to do with my son. He's a goalie, played onbsame team the last 2 years. decent offense, bad defense. Doesn't really play town other than pal as its a mess/political. Hard to be objective sometimes as its stressful watching. I feel like he has the talent for it but it's always odd man breakaway or shooting point blank for the last 2 years. Do I stay where I am or leave? If leave where do we go? Not sure if he would start on better level team but I don't want him to be frustrated all the time. Any helpful input appreciated.
With K. Cromwell taking the Manhasset HS Head Coaching job, does that now make IGLOO the number one destination for Manhasset kids playing in 2023???
You need a job!

NO. I would only have a child play on a grade that KC is coaching, otherwise it's useless. High School coaches don't play politics when they are trying to save their job. They need the best player regardless of their club team.

They will go to where coaching is best, wherever that is. And that might not be igloo.

This is perfect. Thank you. Helps Quite a bit.
S2S is no more Manhasset than Igloo. When Team 32 split up, one of the 32 Coaches went to Igloo with 8 or so players. The other 2 coaches took the balance of the 32 kids and formed S@S. S2S is going to trim away some of those Manhasset 32 kids and are actively recruiting kids, including Igloo kids. There were several very unhappy Igloo parents, who are facing yet another coaching change

I just don't see how anyone would take these opinions seriously from an anonymous poster. This critique is based on rumors and hearsay and not facts. If your son is good enough to compete with the best teams call the club directors to get the facts.

NO. I would only have a child play on a grade that KC is coaching, otherwise it's useless. High School coaches don't play politics when they are trying to save their job. They need the best player regardless of their club team.
think Manhasset kids will definitely look to go to igloo now even if KC not coaching that age group
They will go to where coaching is best, wherever that is. And that might not be igloo.
Correct. It's about solid consistent coaching. That's how players get better and teams win. Proven formula.
JC and his inability to win?lol. Now I know you are a fool! Adelphi does nothing but Win! How many of the teams that you mentioned have a college coach coaching other than TRue Blue and the Bandits? TB tied S2S and beat the outlaws this year. Unfortunately a few teams entered the NLF and avoided playing a lot of teams. Many players on TB have been recruited by the Big teams but believe in JC. Just look at his TB 2017 team and all the prestigious college commitments he has gotten them. Good luck with all your Daddy coaches and teams that don't have coaches or are changing coaches again! If you want a great college coach and a team that is on their way up then I will see you at tryouts on Saturday! And if he feels that their are enough good kids he will be coaching the B team also! Not giving it to some Daddy like the other clubs

Well, Dennis Bonn coaches at the Outlaws and you don't see CSH kids running to the Outlaws.

Are you talking about true blue?
Yes. JC coaches True Blue 2023.
JC is a terrible role model for kids

Have they come close to beating any of the top teams, which by the way are all All coached by so called "daddy" coaches.
JC is a complete tool. he doesn't help any kids for recruiting. Look how many kids are going to Adelphi. Adelphi will never be successful when he is on the side lines. Plus TB took a beating with Massapequa kids running over to the Blue Fish. All directors are from Massapequa. They will lose more this year.
Bluefish lost many games this year by double digits. Was that with the massapequa kids?
Yes the Bandits have a daddy coach but he is also a professional and college coach! Probably the best coach at this age group. Blue Fish? Maybe the B Massapequa kids went there not the A players. Their are kids from 9 different towns on TB. Oh and as far as recruiting goes yes Adelphi but also Yale Maryland and other top schools. Don't be a hater because you know you are paying a lot of money for some half [lacrosse] coach! Do your homework and find the best coach for your kids skill level.
Looking for solid Program that has a lot of practice and is competitive but right below the A bracket teams that dominate. I'd rather see my kid have more playing time and gain experience than wear a big time jersey and watch from sidelines. Suggestions?
How many practices does TB offer in fall and spring? Where?
Once a week until tournament season then a couple of times a week. Massapequa and Adelphi

I love when a club takes credit for a commitment from a kid who spent a majority of his travel career with different club. TB 2017 were mostly the Express team that moved over.

Not enough. They will never be a good club. More issues than practices.

Isn't the Massapequa varsity coach a "daddy" coach

PROS: probably the most athletic team with some depth. Fairly solid at each position. They should do well but other teams are clearly closing the gap. Alot of depth at midfield With 2 very good goalies.
CONS: team is self imploding. They had trouble this year moving to the next level of play even though they had the goods to do so.

OPINION:Avoid!
Igloo:
PROS: 1st team to beat the Bandits. Great accomlishment. Solid team
Made up of a bunch of hand picked Manhassett 32 players from Daddy coaches. They proved this past year that they can compete and will again this year.
CONS: turmoil with coaching. Head coach leaves after providing a solid
Season. 2nd time AA has made that change at the top which doesn't allow the team to get settled. Will they change it up every year?? I would caution going to this team this year because of the uncertaintybof too many variables.

Out-laws:
PROS: MB is doing a great job rebuilding this organization and team. New coach with a winning experience and record. Some good players. They will find ways to have goodntournament showings.

Wow.... Thanks Mr. Free Time. So all kids on LI should tryout for those 3 teams and avoid the rest??? Spoken like someone that spends way too much time reading these boards and not enough time watching what's going on out on the field. Thanks for the advice, but I'll make my own decisions.
Are you serious. Wow
I hate the term "hold backs". If the player is is a rising 6th grader, then it's not cheating. Has anyone a parent of a supposed "hold back" why their son is in that 2023 class? Consider the child who at 3/4 years old was developmentally delayed in some way, struggled with speech, was in occupational therapy, on the autism spectrum, maybe ADHD or the family religious and educational views differed from the state, or the kindergartener started school in another state where the cutoffs are different. You just don't know......................As the rules are currently, if they are a rising 6th grader, it is NOT CHEATING!!!!!

Complete money grab!!! They had 22 kids on the roster after tryouts and added 5 or 6 players before the first tournament all from Massapequa! It's the Mohawks alter-ego. Don't bother if your not from Massapequa. The players from the 9 other towns are just a check to cash for JC!!
Heard Outlaws select has a few spots available. Think with MB coaching they will build a solid team. Sounds like a great opportunity
Lol, how a person knows so much about youth lacrosse teams is a little strange. Just odd man. You must be the one guy on the block that gives the kids nickles for halloween.

Of the constant changes at the helm. Rebuilding year. Will have mostly disappointing runs at the better clubs.
OPINION: checkout tryous
Legacy:
PROS: up and coming organozation and team. Recently won world series which showed alot of naysayers that they are for real. Very solid group of core kids with some obvious holes. Consistent head coaching and new coach coming in with a winning record should provide an immediate lift to the next level. Tremendous opportunity for kids who want and should be playing in the first 10 spots.
CONS: depth at various positions. Need to show they can compete.
OPINION: Go to Tryouts
S2S
PROS: DK has done a great job with what he has to deal with. Had an impressive year with some talented North Shore kids. They will be competitive again this year.
CONS: not 100% sure of their model. Mostly local Manhassett kids so the pool isn't their to continually feed the A team. Hand picked additions. No real tryouts. Not too sure that model can sustain itself very long. Not a place
If you want exposure.
OPINION: Hand picked
Wow.... Thanks Mr. Free Time. So all kids on LI should tryout for those 3 teams and avoid the rest??? Spoken like someone that spends way too much time reading these boards and not enough time watching what's going on out on the field. Thanks for the advice, but I'll make my own decisions.
No problem AH. It's meant as an opinion to help guide people. It's expected that everyone will make their own decision.
Always so angry???
No, not always. Just when I waste my time reading some moron's nonsensical dissertation of the state of youth lacrosse on LI for the 2023 grade level. That was pure and complete dog crap. Your opinions are as useful as ejection seats on a helicopters.

Tryouts and what parents should be doing:
Ninety One - Bandits
PROS: are the best but will always look to find the one or two players who have improved so much that they are better than existing kids. They will dominate again because of JS ability to coach winning team.
CONS: He will carry a small roster so he can run with his best Kids most of the game. You know in advance what you get with this team - if your good, you'll play, if not, you'll sit. Not many open spots to steal so crazy that parents would try.
OPINION: Avoid!
Badgers -
PROS: probably the most athletic team with some depth. Fairly solid at each position. They should do well but other teams are clearly closing the gap. Alot of depth at midfield With 2 very good goalies.
CONS: team is self imploding. They had trouble this year moving to the next level of play even though they had the goods to do so. Parents control the coach's decisions which is a recipe for disaster. Alot of coaching "favors" on the team that hmders their ability to play the right kids. Still very unstable situation that sill take
Another disappointing year to fix.
OPINION:Avoid!
Igloo:
PROS: 1st team to beat the Bandits. Great accomlishment. Solid team
Made up of a bunch of hand picked Manhassett 32 players from Daddy coaches. They proved this past year that they can compete and will again this year.
CONS: turmoil with coaching. Head coach leaves after providing a solid
Season. 2nd time AA has made that change at the top which doesn't allow the team to get settled. Will they change it up every year?? I would caution going to this team this year because of the uncertaintybof too many variables.

Nope. Not even close. But even if he did, he could make another team. You, on the other hand, will always be a d-bag.
Are the open spots for outlaws select for the attack position?
Seems like he struck a nerve with that one. Lol.

CONS: not 100% sure of their model. Mostly local Manhassett kids so the pool isn't their to continually feed the A team. Hand picked additions. No real tryouts. Not too sure that model can sustain itself very long. Not a place
If you want exposure.
OPINION: Hand picked
Wow.... Thanks Mr. Free Time. So all kids on LI should tryout for those 3 teams and avoid the rest??? Spoken like someone that spends way too much time reading these boards and not enough time watching what's going on out on the field. Thanks for the advice, but I'll make my own decisions.
I think the OP assessment was pretty accurate especially about the team that held tryouts at Farmingdale last night. My son decided to accompany a friend last minute as we had no plans on trying out for this team. Things were pretty standard for tryouts until they pulled everyone off the field and split Bandit/Warrior players into two teams that will scrimmage everyone else. Now there must have been at least 12 coaches in that age group but 11 of them stayed on one side of the field the entire time and per my son told the loan coach on the other side of the field to let them know if anyone stood out. I don't know what hand picking the few you want is called but I would assume that's what it looks like to me.
Yep. That's everybody now. 50 practices or its just a waste of time and money.
Where are the badgers from?
Very accurate assessment of programs above...Pretty common knowledge as well...No need to kill the guy for stating what we all know is true...the person who is critical of the assessment Is more than likely one of those parents who jumps from team to team wearing out their welcome and is trying to relive their childhood through their sons 11 year old lacrosse team. This should be a forum for honest advise and assessments of programs. I also find it childish that certain programs can't be mentioned by name. Most people are really starting to look at this website as a joke...It has turned into a soap opera where kids and teams are disparaged by jealous parents...

So true and agree 100%. I come one here to learn as much as I can so I can make sound decisions. I hope that assessment was accurate.

I can't find anything on them. Is this a name of an age group or an actual club name.

Maybe not 50, but 100% agree. For the amount of money these clubs are, I expect a decent amount of quality practices expecially in season. you want dedication from the coaches and other players on the team and the parents.

Badgers -
PROS: probably the most athletic team with some depth. Fairly solid at each position. They should do well but other teams are clearly closing the gap. Alot of depth at midfield With 2 very good goalies.

That's silly. They split for scrimmages, all teams were completely mixed. Just happened to be that 1/2 the kids there were Bandits/Warriors. After that scrimmage they changed the teams to included kids that they were interested in getting better looks at. Next week they will further scrutinize the 20 or so non-warrior/bandit kids and narrow the lot down to the 10 they are looking for. It's a tryout? How else would you figure out who to take unless they play against high quality kids?

Not so sure he does. He didn't last year. Last year I asked him at tryouts if someone was going to be the coach. In fact I asked that someone too. Both AA and the unnamed coach said no. The unnamed coash did in fact coach and is coaching again. They will let you know after tryouts who the other coach is

Haggerty is the coach. This plan was put in motion 2 years ago when they got rid of DK. Selhorn was brought in to be a buffer for Haggerty - because AA knew everyone would leave if Haggerty was the head coach. As per Igloo, before last year's tryout they said Haggerty was not going to coach. Then low and behold, after everyone committed to the team, Haggerty was the assistant coach. Now, after 1 year with Selhorn, Haggerty is the head coach. The whole thing was a sham. They flat-out lied to everyone.
IT is a crappy situation - but their master plan worked beautifully and the suckers are us.
Buyer beware on that team - there is zero integrity - ZERO

Ok parent/coach. The original assessment was unless you're invited it's difficult and you should not waste your time. What happened yesterday proves exactly that. Even if they narrowed it down like you said don't have 1 coach looking at two teams and handling subs for both teams while 12 coaches look at the other field. If it's getting a better look as you say then send the other kids home because you're not giving them a fair assessment, which proves the OP point.
I know it's hot out there man just relax it will be ok. Jr will make the team again and all will ok in your world.
True Blue a money grab? Lol. They are one of the least expensive teams out there! And the kids they added were from numerous towns including Massapequa. They are only taking 21 this year. Learned their lesson from last year. Sounds like a Massapequa dad is worried about his kids spot!!! And yes the assistant coach is a daddy coach who won a state championship with his Varsity HS team. Look around and tell me what most of these other coaches have won? True Blue is Great Coaching that is reasonably priced. Sorry Haters!!!
How many times can you write the same thing? I think you have made your point. What is your obsession with the coach? Just move on. I have a son who was on that team. The program is well run, the coaches did a nice job and my son improved.. The indoor training was especially good.
As per US Lacrosse the cutoff for 2023 is September 1,2004. If you are born before this date and are playing in 2023 then you are CHEATING!!!! Reasons don't matter age does. Go try out for 2022 where you now belong!

LOL. That's the truth. He won't tell anyone because of the internal problems going on and doesn't want to ruin the tryout numbers.
Nice try, over 30 kids at supplemental tryout alone.
Parents and players alike are sad to see Coach Selhorn go. Although I don't agree with AA's decision regarding Paul, there is no need to bash Coach Haggerty. Every one of our kids became better players thanks to the work of all 3: Paul, Sean, and Joe. If its such a crappy situation, please feel free to bypass tryouts this year. Take your drama elsewhere! Our kids will continue to grow and get better. Feel free to go back to DK and STS.
BTW Buyer beware... As a parent of a current player, Igloo went above and beyond what I expected of them this year!

S2S is more than just Manhasset. Kids from Bethpage, RVC, NYC. It is proving to be an opportunity to poach kids from poor coaching at other programs and the normal over rostering at Express.

As good as they are, and they are very good, there is no future in that team. They won't be invited to recruiting events in a few years and the top kids will bolt to the teams that will offer them more exposure. It's a sad truth, especially since all of those parents already think their kids are going to be committed in 7th grade.

That is complete BS. Express and NinetyOne are not the only clubs that get asked about players. If your kid is good; coaches/colleges will find him no matter where he is playing. But, if you are in the middle of a stacked team, don't stay
Go find a team where you will start and be on thr field more often. I never heard of a college coach asking about the kid on the bench. You have to be playing.
Tenacious Turtles did it........sustained themselves as a top team that was hand selected.
As for the ridiculousness and delusions of people on this page, RELAX. The bashing and bitterness are unhealthy.
If your son had a negative experience, MOVE ON....there is always another team or coach who will connect with him. It's not about you....its about the player. Be educated enough to provide the resources for your young player to thrive, develop and improve and have fun. But do it with integrity and accountability.

Exactly why AA brought SH to Igloo. Looking to duplicate the Turtles Model of success. When will Powers start training the team?

It's just the way it is. Believe me, or don't believe me, it doesn't matter. The quality players gravitate to the teams that will get them the most exposure. S2S will never be able to do that if they are only developing a single team. Clubs get invited to showcases, not teams.

Was last year their first year? Is this years team done already? What % turnover?
If the turnover is less then other teams that they compare to, then they have happy kids....isnt that all that matters?

Depends how you read it. If you take out the grammatical error, notice the w in with is capitalized so that should have been a new sentence. The next sentence should have been a comma. If typed correctly it would have read "With MB as the offensive coach, heading in the right direction". Sorry I am a bad Typer and writer.

Would think so
Attack, Midfield, Defense, Goalie, you name it! There is going to be a Mass Exodus from this team to other organizations, after all of the drama and broken promises last year.

S2S played in the Nlf tourney this summer
At the tryout, there were kids that were invited. The coaches knew their names and kept those kids on the field the entire time. For top teams,you are wasting your time if you weren't invite to the tryout. You could see players from other top 2023 teams getting all the attention.

Does your kid palm on S2S or was he invited to try out? Seems you were there. Curious what top teams you were seeing there. It seemed that they had a full roster last year. So are they losing players to attrition or will they be replacing kids?4
hOW DO YOU GET "INVITED" IF YOUR NOT ALREADY ON ONE OF THESE TOP TEAMS.
Tryouts that I was referencing relate to Team 91. The only kids that have a shot are those that were invited to attend. Clearly JS knew who was in attendance and spent time watching those kids. Quickly the main group of top players was separated from the other kids and the coaches were all watching that group.

The Coaches SCOUT other kids on other teams during the season. They make a note of local kids that play extremely strong against their team. Coaches also have certain team Daddies that do the same. These Daddies are marking certain players for removal from the team. These Daddies are usually some of the top players Daddies that threaten to leave the team if the Coach doesn't upgrade certain positions. They go out and look for the replacements. Once they have the list of kids they want, they call the parents and "invite" them down to the tryout, sometimes for free. Some are offered spots before the tryout even happens. With that said, if your son is "trying out" in hopes of making a top team, with no prior communication with the team, the chances of making that team are infinitely small. By the time tryouts role around most top teams are already set. With the exception of maybe a spot or two. The reality is, your basically trying out for a clubs second team, if that club's top team is one of the best in the grade.

you are spot on but forgot that those Daddies are usually up the coaches [lacrosse] and never help recruit a kid who is the same position as their son. Pretty embarrassing . Then by 8th grade their own kid is having his spot taken by a new kid. Funny to watch them squirm !!!

The smartest coaches have a daddy at each position. You get to watch them pick off the other daddies kids. It's very Machiavellian.

Last minute substitute because a Md team bailed. Didn't get invited to the end of summer championship.
Anyone at the Recon tryout tonight? Curious how the turn out was.

I'm going to go with you weren't there Mr. Bitter. It was mostly recon helmets. Maybe 60-70 kids. Overall decent skill level. Could be solid b team. Why would you have an issue with that?

That was my observation also. All but one coach looking at the invited kids. The one coach is left to evaluate players, and sub lines for both teams.

Obviously wasn't there. I would say about 80 kids between 2023+ 2022 . A lot of return players but quite a few new.
There was several new players at Recon last night should be a solid B+ team.
True Blue cancelled Tryouts due to weather. Fields get shut down by town at a certain heat index. They moved them to next Saturday and Sunday. For the half an hour that they practiced some really good talent. Some new kids that are just deciding to play travel look like hidden gems. I guess their fathers don't get caught up in the B.S.!

Mostly recon. Based on previous comments they had a large roster last year so nut sure what spots would be open. Saw an empire, Tru blue helmet, some I didn't recognize.

Bunch of Bluefish helmets, a couple of True Blue kids, couple of Express bags.
This Recon team was pretty good last year, but true too many kids on the team. Hopefully they will cut it down this year.

From what i saw last year the best two attack were both lefties. Both on man up and played more than half of every game. They do need righty attack. Hope this

I believe they had 27/28 kids last year, really way to many kids. i would ask them how many kid they were looking to put on the roster this year before you take a spot. They seem to be a pretty standup club, but like others have said on this forum, if they don't answer you or tell you they don't know, its your kids playing time you are gambling with.
Anyone go to the team 24 tryouts, and if so, how was the turnouts

I'm believe they had 25 or 26 including the 2 goalies. I saw them play at Forsberg and they ran all of the kids. They played a very uptempo game. I asked at tryouts and they said between 20 and 22 with the goalies. True Blue had 22 after tryouts and went into tournament season with 28 and tons of playing time issues and all of the coaches placing the blame on each other.
24 had about 4 or 5 kids at the 2023 tryouts from what I heard last night.
At tryouts tb said it will go with 2 teams. Keeping roster tighter than last year.

Helps.
Probably will need a lefty attackman also.
Do not let the door hit u on the way out -
How were the Outlaw tryouts this weekend? Are many spots available and if you missed the first tryout can you still go to the ones coming up?
Somebody's kid must not play. Haha

Yes, they need lefty's, middies, and a FOGO.
You missed the point!!!!!!
HMMMM. Independent team(s) WERE invited to NLF this past summer!!!!!
Most of the comments on this page are pure speculation.

Which team are you referring to?
Word of mouth. I would just be pro-active next tourney season and call coaches directly if you think you son has a shot of making those teams. Kids move around each year, and especially when USL really starts to administer the age rules.

Outlaws
Whois leaving outlaws? What's the rumors now?
Gotta love this:
1st Round of Tryouts were a huge success - We Had over 500 kids attend.
Notifications are going out and will be done by Thursday.
SPOTS are available on all teams. PB can be reached at ###-###-### to discuss organization or any team.
If tryouts were a HUGE Success with 500 kids; than why are there still open spots? Outlaws are known for ALWAYS having open spots because they can never quite field a team.

2023 outlaw select invites went out yesterday. Do we assume that no emails mean you didn't make it all together or black? My friends son got his. Why not send them all at once?
@why do you care ? BECAUSE this is some funny [lacrosse] .

Outlaws are looking for more players to upgrade. 2nd tryouts are coming up and plenty of open spots.

That's hilarious!!! I guess you haven't been on the team, or was kicked off when the old kids came back. There will not be a 2nd team no matter what JC will say at tryouts. He's lost his credibility over the last few years.
Yes JC said that he along with KO of Syosset Varsity will coach both True Blue 2023 teams this year. Obviously like any team you need kids to commit to a second team. I guess they will know by Monday with tryouts being this weekend.

Where did BM end up coaching?
He is at Legacy, look out 2023.He is actively recruiting. He will build a strong team and take players from AJ. Express is the big loser in the return of BM.
Who cares?

Rumors have it that AJ and BM are not the best of buddies as a result of of the whole Express breakup. Should be interesting to watch BM build a team that will eventually compete at a high level and try and beat his old team. Is his new team called the Badgers???
Did BM end up at 80+10+1??? Does that mean they will have 3 teams?

Except that no quality kids will follow him to that sub-par team.

Not from the half that got a call. 7 new kids made the team New kids are in, old kids are out. This team will be substantially better. We are happy.
So did BM go to 91 or Tornados? Where are they based out of?
He is going to igloo. Not to coach though

My son Is on the team. 7 new kids? Are you sure about that? Sounds like they will be carrying 26 then. Nice number. I didn't see 7 difference makers. Definitely not 7 better than what we had.

Someone enlighten me. In my book, BM is a verb for something that occurs after a batch of Metamucil. Who is BM? Thanks

Couldn't be further from the truth. Many many of the parents on the current team and past player parents have alot of respect for him as a coach. This is two parents who constantly say bad things. You are in the minority!!! Grow up already and stop representing the group who is in complete disagreement with you. V

Wow. Never seen so much hatred for a guy who built the 2nd best team in the grade for Express. You must seriously fear that he'll do it again with the Tornados and come back to haunt Express. Very funny !! Would love to see it.
Hey BM. If I were you, I'd work that Tornado team to the point they kick Express' a$$ so these two idiots and MC can shut the F up already. Just saying !!

Is probably focus on not getting tossed from that team and less time writting in this forum.

They'll have two teams, no worries. Non returners have been replaced and upgraded.
Who is not coming back from outlaws black or select? First tryout day was a hot one, besides a lot of kids where on vacation.
A friend of mine son plays defense and said they got offered a spot to play for another team that hasn't even had tryouts yet. They had a private tryout with part of the old team. Apparently teams are determined before the official tryouts even start.
anyone know how true blue tryouts went, was there alot of turnover and will there be two teams.

There were numerous outlaw helmets at the Orange tryouts and Tornados. They won't make Warriors or Bandits, but Tornados need a ton of help so they may land there, especially with Tornado top players jumping ship after a sub par season. I guess it's time to just wait and see. I don't know that the Outlaw players are strong enough to land at a top 5 or 6 club, but politics are everywhere.

Since outlaws are a top 5 or 6 team, that means they are not strong enough to to come back. Go play for tornados. Maybe you'll get what your looking for.

Once the faceoff kid left to be a backup to the backup middies on the Bandits, Outlaws dropped down to Tornado/Empire territory. The need to find a new kid to do that job and keep the team together.

What team exactly won the WS?? A mishmash of older kids who's birthdays fit within the dates. Not a true team. They exposed a loophole that will now be used by other clubs. They won't win again. They only had 31 kids at tryouts. At least 25 were below average. Unless you play for TAZ, you're meaningless to the organization.
A loop hole? Age based is not a loophole.How do you think the kids that were born after Sept 1st but are in the right grade feel everyday?They are playing kids 2 yrs older that are hold backs?

Face off kid wasn't there for a full season. They have very capable face off kids that can do the job. They did fine after he left. FYI, empire top face off kid was at outlaw tryout. If they are soooo good why tryout for the competition.

Empire face off kid was 100% not at Outlaws tryout. He isn't going anywhere. Get your facts straight.
Outlaws look strong and have some good middies to take face offs. This is the year kids start finding there way.

Yes, some left to try out elsewhere because they feel the grass is always greener and that their "little Johnny" is All World. They are the parents who were the problem......not the kids. There are politics everywhere. Unfortunately for the kids, the parents are the problem. The kids should be on a team that helps the child learn the game, helps them grow as an individual and as an athlete, as well as make friends and have fun.....Some parents want "the label" of "My son is on [****]"...but is being used as a pawn or doesn't see the field........Good Luck!
Agreed there were many problems at Empire this summer with parents but by the looks of who was at tryouts (or who was not there) it's going to be better. Looking forward to a great season.
How were Express tryouts last night ?
anyone know how true blue tryouts went, is there going to be 2 teams?

No, there won't be 2 teams. They tell you there will be be it won't happen. Look to tryout elsewhere. There are a few tryouts this upcoming weekend.

I heard that one of them didn't make the teams he had his kid try out for. That's got to be a reality check for him!
Mr landscaper. Keep throwing that fertilizer around. All you are doing is burning my grass. I heard that more than just Little Johnny left. Three to Iceland and three to Orangeland. FOGO to Outlaws. If all of that is true seems like a lot of money for your little johnny to play with his Pal buddies. Either way not buying it buddy. Try a different recruiting tactic.
As spoken by one of the DB's that left??!!...........Enjoy the land of Oz!!

Only one is invited to Iceland and only one is going to Orangeland. Trying out and making are totally different things. The boys need to have good tryouts. Most of them didn't.
This must be one of two dads that follow the coach around town all yr long.You are known as the team Rat. Snake!!

Yes True Blue is going to have 2 teams and JC is going to coach both. Phone calls will start soon through Thursday. If you don't get a call by the weekend then look elsewhere. They are trying to do the right thing and if most accept then they will have 2 teams.
Did calls start?

You are better off trying out for the Outlaws this weekend.

They'll said the same thing last year and then didn't call anyone. JC coaches every team and then come tournament time he is missing games and leaving it up to the assistant college guys.
Has anyone gotten any invites for yet for bluefish or recon?
Thank you
Thank you
Anyone know the deal with the academy team from the team orange program? Curious to know what it's about.

I heard that one of them didn't make the teams he had his kid try out for. That's got to be a reality check for him!
Seems they all tried out for several teams, and that was the case. Wondering if they are trying to staying together and if any committed to teams yet.

It's Stampede but they changed the pricing so it's more expensive and they don't throw you to the wolves so you can get your brains beat in. Underlying factor is they raised the price

Those 3 guys (2 dads and a coach) were terrible human beings. Good riddance. I pity your boys.
Terrible human beings? that's a bit excessive, no? you may not have personally liked them, but to go to that extent is overkill.
they are actually really good people and families with talented kids. Sometimes things just don't work out. It happens.

one went to Igloo, one Bandits, other left high and dry!

So are you saying the bandits and Warriors roster has already been made and the reason they have not updated the site is because they reached out to the players they want already?

Which is a stark contrast from every other club, right? Oh wait, every other club raised their prices too.

HA! you cant think that try outs actually matter...teams know and ask who they want before any tryouts.. unless their is a stud that comes out of nowhere ...teams are pretty set.. tryouts are just a money maker
Is it worth signing up for tryouts for the Outlaws? Are there any openings on either team?
Does anyone know anything about the 2nd team?
I'm trying to make a good decision for a few tryouts.

To much negative energy and time on this site who cares who goes where do what's best for your kid and that's all that matters.

Unless they put a deposit down, and even after that for some as well, no decision is final.

I believe they way they do it is they never fill a team totally and add a few pieces each tryout so by that logic space is avialable

Not worth Signing up for Tornados try outs. I guess just hoping people see the opening pic of their stacked World Series Team. They gave scholarships to get kids to play on team. Defense wasn't the problem, offense non existent .
So glad didn't see people considering Legacy? What a waste of time ? They aren't even a contender with these other leagues. Tryouts was just a money maker . 2023 year is a joke

Sad a coach of that caliber would have to resort to pressuring an 11 yr old. If that's how the relationship with that family is going to start, only bad things lie ahead.
I disagree. Either you want a spot or you don't. You don't get to shop around for 3 weeks and then decide. You are holding up another potential player from getting that spot. That's normal business practice anywhere. cars/houses/private schools/nursery schools -- all require a deposit to hold a spot. thay shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this stage of the game.
All the things going on in JS life, I doubt that's one of them. You really think he's chasing money, you are clueless!! Probably an excuse cause little Johnny the superstar didn't make the team.
You guys have no clue about JS.. He would never do that!
Once again ppl spreading rumors!!!!

Pressure??? You obviously weren't there. JS dangled the carrot and dad jumped all over it. The dad is a [lacrosse] but the kid is good and deserves to be there. He's the best defender on the grade. Best kid on Empire and number 2 isn't even close.

Let's see how people change their tune when it comes to recruiting. Take your time make a good decision. If they really want you they'll wait. If not we'll have tryouts starting in July.
Trust me the best defender in the grade is not at Empire. Hard to make a statement like that when Empire is a B team that plays in lesser tourneys. Best defenders at HB, S2S, and Bandits.
any openings on igloo for attack man, thinking of trying out this weekend.
We see things aren't going as planned huh?Lol
Go back to empire, they love you there .Just kidding!

Will you take an anonymous posters word for it? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you.
[lacrosse] is an understatement. Nobody likes that guy or the other two Heros that left. I would never take those kids dealing with those parents. Not worth it.
Igloo has spots open at attack. They are looking to replace a few on the top team. Dont listen to scared attack parents.

One of the dads trying to feel out Igloo. Sorry dad, if you played Igloo instead of chump B teams you would know that Igloo's strength is at attack and your kid won't see the field. It must be hard to accept that your kid is substantially less desired that you thought.

Have you ever been running really fast barefoot and stubbed your toe? You know how painful that is right? That what it feels like to stand next to a normal b-bag dad at a two day tournament. Now light that toe on fire, stick it in a hornets nest and then have someone run it over with their car. THAT'S how painful it is to listen to those parents every practice and game. Always complaining about number of practices, tournaments, not getting the ball, openly talking about other kids on the team in from of parents, complaining that "they didn't sign up for this garbage", one bitched that he wanted his kid on defense some games, middie some games and attack some games (seriously, I'm not even joking) and trashing the head coach behind his back to everyone that will listen. Basically their kids are all friends and the parents think that Paul Rabil could learn a few things from them. They make everyone within earshot uncomfortable and upset and bring the entire moral of the team down because they have said it in front of their kids so the boys repeat it to the other players. Is that clear enough? The team will be more successful without them. Only one was above average and they already have a more than competent replacement for him. The other two are easily replaced.

I heard They were at Igloo tryouts. They'll probably be at Otlaws this week.
This board isn't even helpful anymore. Everyone just bashes other teams and coaches. What is the point? Not everyone is an A team player and that's fine. Kids on A teams will get beat out by new players. These kids are 11. I would bet some of them haven't reached full potential yet. If you are threatened that someone is going to take your kids spot get off back of the cage and go practice with them.
I was hoping this board would be more helpful.

My son is having a great experience. He's been on his team for 3 years and has become a much better player with a much higher lax IQ than the rest of the boys he plays with on his town team. The coach is really fair when it comes to playing time and doesn't play favorites. His son isn't even a starter. Lines are constantly changing depending on who works the hardest and earns their playing time. The organization offers a TON of extra optional trainings from really high quality (D1 and MLL) trainers. The parents are awesome and we have not had an issue with any of them for years! Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to mention the name of the club on this board or my post will be edited to suit the needs and opinions of the mods and/or deleted. Can't expect kumbaya and unity when most of the big clubs, and a handful of smaller startups, are banned from being included in discussions.

Sounds like a coach wondering what he just recruited!
One would tell you how great his kid was, one would tell you all the kids sucked and the coach would try to run practices behind the head coaches back. Awesome Trio. Thank god they left

Jeez, what father in his right mind would keep his kid on that team. Amazing
Empire fogo was never leaving. Not sure where that came from. What's deal with empire goalie? Heard he was trying out for other places as well and was part of that Trio mentioned earlier with pole, the attack, and the coach?

Saturday will have a lot of kids who didn't come to the first tryout. I'm not sure if the lefties will be back. The teams need upgrades.

I agree. that parent with the bad mouth needs a slap. BTW the talent is not coming to Empire. It all just left. Good luck with the mediocre coach your are left with and have fun at PAL.
That said, I do believe this board could be used WAY MORE constructively and the kid bashing especially should have no place here. Moderator take note.
Why do you consider the coach mediocre? Just because you were displeased and decided to leave ?..... Kids gained a lot of lacrosse IQ and enjoyed playing..... THAT is what it's all about..... NOT your ego!

Mediocre may be a compliment. He's a defensive guy coaching the offense with no offensive background. Way to complex, they are 11 years old and they have as many plays as his varsity team. None of the kids on the team even listens to him on the field and their are no reprocussions. Like I said, mediocre is a compliment.

I am APPALLED by the antics on here. Bashing 11 year olds? their parents? fellow coaches? all because not everyone agrees on how things go within a certain organization? or how they handle leaving a team and doing what is best for their son? We are all doing or at least trying to do what is best for our kid, to give them a good opportunity to play the game, learn the game and have fun. I have never met a bunch of people (grown men) so concerned with what someone else is doing. Terrible example to set for your kids. And before you start guessing who is behind this post - I am not a parent of any of the kids mentioned, no affiliation whatsoever, but I am DISGUSTED that any parent on Empire who spew such negativity.
You can relax... Those negative people are now GONE....and are off to see the Wizard!!!
Let there be peace and happiness for the kids.
Let there be peace and happiness for the kids.
As a proud Empire parent I ask that everyone please end the non sense. For those who have chosen to leave, it's your choice to do what is best for your child/family and no one can ever take that away from you. Emotions are running high and frankly this has spun out of control. This year's Empire team will be different from last year's team and that's ok - but please keep in mind these are all young men who all get along and have respect for another. Maybe they can teach us something...Amidst the differences between some folks, it was a successful season and the boys had a blast every step of the way. Let's have some respect for one another and move on...for those who will no longer be part of the Empire family - good luck moving forward.
The man knows what he is talking about....S2S, Bandits, HB routinely led in goals against this summer. The top teams NEVER saw Empire this summer, except when looking at the B bracket.

Empire coach is a joke. Has zero idea about offensive play, lies to parents,lies to kids, has one practice a week cause of his HS team. Makes kids cry, fights with his asst coach on the field in front of kids. I can go on and on. How many kids have left the team? What's that tell people. Any parent that would stay there is just as bad as that coach. Look how many kids left. It's for a reason. Oh, and don't forget to bring the extra ten dollars if they practice cause that coach is only in it for the money. Waste of money if you play for a coach like that.
Not sure that is accurate. Or the kid is telling truth

Sounds like the words of an angry assistant coach or one of his cronies. Just go away. We're better without you. All three of you.

Did anyone go to outlaw yesterday or did everyone go to igloo. If you went to outlaw how was the attendance for 2023?
If you went to igloo why you worrying about Outlaws tryputs. Take care

You always have that one person the meeting that has to say something even though there is no substance to what he/she is saying.
If you know the answer why can't you just answer? Why do you care if they want to know?
That is very accurate, also remember in a few years when top programs receive invite only they will send their top teams at every grade. Recruiting becomes top priority in few years for parents and when they see theyre left out, parents run.

Because everyone knows the question if anyone went to outlaws or did they just go to igloo tryouts was asked by a outlaw parent who knows the answer. They just want to feel better about themselves. But in case you were wondering, there were tons of kids at outlaw tryouts.
There were a ton of kids at Igloo tryouts. Saw a lot of Outlaw, Empire, Express helmets there.
Those are from the B teams or kids that were cut.

No. You're incorrect. Those are the quality kids from outlaws (select team fell apart towards the middle to end of last season), Empire (the team was terrible and played terrible teams in terrible tournaments. Worst organization of 2023), Tornados (very weak team. Ended up playing B divisions because they got destroyed by A teams) and Express Channy (roster was a huge joke. Took everyone. Playing time suffered) that are trying to find a better fit for next season. Everyone from those teams, except the developmental and average kids, are looking for a solid club to join.

Interesting, kids that were cut? Who was told they were cut yet. love the policy if some teams tell kids they need to improve because they will look to replace them via tryouts.

100% accurate.
At the end of the day 90% of players return back to their original team. There are only so many spots for movement on other teams. Parents test the waters on other teams knowing they can fall back to their previous club. Unless you're a parent that went scorched earth with the previous club and they, not children, are the reason you don't get an invite back. A few of them on outlaws and from reading on here, seems to be same with empire. Over reaching parents always ruin it for their children.
By the sounds of things, Empire is looking to be even worse next year. At least the horrible parents are gone, but now they are heavily recruiting everyone that got cut from all of the other clubs. Buyer beware with them.
Worse than what?

They are affiliated with 91. They'll fold at some point.
how did things with true blue turn out, did they do the 2 teams.
Igloo improved by grabbing kids that will make the team better. They needed help at D and seemed to find it. Most of the core stayed.
Outlaws is a good organization. They just need to better plan and Strategise. They had great athletic kids, just too much change and one dimensional.

I wonder if all of their players came back then if it was such a mess. Did they build both of their teams up?
TB ended up putting together a good team. Picked up a great defender three solid Attack and a solid middie. With there core players from last year it should be a great season. Kids love JC and he's doing a great job with them...
Did IGLOO pick 1 or 2 teams this year???

Yeah, because all of those Orange teams are always folding. Do you even have a kid that plays?

Many got offers to play elsewhere. Some already committed elsewhere.

Some of the Select moved on. Don't know if they replaced them. Not sure of their second team. Supposedly they have a new coach for that team.
Over 12 kids left select, Igloo poached em.

New coach won't matter much if a lot of select kids left for other organizations. The black team will ultimately be left with crap. All of the talented kids that attend the tryout will be placed on the select team and the second team will be left with kids that have no place on the team. Money maker for the outlaws and headache for the parents sounds like lots of fun.
i heard recon improved picked up a few new players

More accurate
Some where in between, but word is getting replaced by Very good kids, It works out for all. Just enjoy your son and support his team. No need to bash all.
I do not normally post on these pages, but wanted to set a few things straight.
The 2023 Select team has had a few kids leave for other organizations. A few of those that left were not offered spots after the first tryout on the Select team.
We have added/upgraded at every position, and we still have a tryout on September 10th to complete filling out the roster.
It is going to be a legitimate A team, with over 50 practices and tournaments against top competition.
If anyone has any questions that they want answered about the 2023 Select team they can call myself, Mike Brennan, at 631-487-6338. I will be coaching this team each year.

Wow, Igloo just got a lot worse. That's the dumbest thing anyone has written in a while. Why would Igloo, the #2 team around, take 12 kids from a substantially worse team? If you're going to make up a lie, try to one that makes a little more sense.

Why don't you do what he said and call him at the number listed. Do you really want him to explain it on here and open the flood gates to the unnecessary banter.
Igloo A team has Bandit mentality and only plays stars or kids with Manhasset zip code. Not necessarily a negative but be aware. Ask around if you are one of the kids cut from your original team (Express/Outlaws) and thinking its a good place to land. B team is new and who knows about talent level but at least you'll have a chance to see the field. Igloo 2022 B team was not competitive in its first year.
Go to Outlaw tryouts 9/10 if you are upset with your current club.

That's the truth and besides Mike is not sitting in here looking to answer questions. He gave his contact info for a reason..
Looks like the good old blue and orange stacked their bench, i mean teams, just so other orgs don't scoop them up. Its a shame a good portion of these new kids won't see the field next summer. This is how kids lose interest and get discouraged with the sport.really unfortunate.

Adding additional productive players is how teams and players get better. One of those teams lost some close games against top teams because they lacked effective subs, essentially ensuring that the starters had to go too deep and lost steam. The new additions, some will definitely be starters FYI, will play quality minutes and make the team better.
However, the other team is definitely just stick piling players to keep them from other teams. If my son was a middie, fogo specialist or goalie, it would be insane for me to move him to that team. They grabbed 3 kids. One was a middie who went from playing all game on his last team to the #7,8,9 middie on his new team. How is he going to get better without playing in tournaments? Would have been better to just do clinics.

Another way to get discouraged and lose interest is to play for a team like Empire, etc... Teams that promise the world but end up giving players and parents a false sense of ability because they play against the weakest teams they can find. They would have more competition if they played down in 2024 A division. Nice try, Shaun.
Has anyone been able to get an answer on how may kids Express is putting on each roster? My kidnwas on Channy last year and we moved to Whites team because my kid never played. He was asked backnowledge to White but I can't get an answer on how many kids will be on the team.

That's what they all say..
So what teams do we think improved the most after tryouts and are going to be solid and what teams do we think lost talent and why?
people are funny, 3 kids play 80% of the time on that team, being 7,8,9th middie vs playing the whole game, hm!
new to this, what is the story with express

Nobody knows except for the coaches and owners. We'll find out at 1st practice.

My kid actually really likedon't Coach White and learned a lot. He got to play once we moved him to that team. You just never know if they pull a fast one. I honestly feel like all of the big clubs (I am talking for B team players which I know we never talk about on here) do it. Sucks to have a coach your kid clicks with work in such a shady organization!
And I could care less about saying he plays for Express or that he played on their "C" team.....the horror!
12 kids left Select. Some went to Igloo. Some went to Express. Some on the first team and some on the second. For both clubs.
Would like to hear why so many kids left from the select parentd. Talking to the director gets you promotional pitch. Why are so many leaving? If you left id like to hear what your concerns are. And if you are some of the few staying I'd like to hear why. Thanks.

Where did you get confirmation that 12 kids left the team? If that's truly the case the Gold team will have a though year because they will be handed the kids not ready to play yet while all the talent will be sent to the select team.
Still where did you get confirmation that so many left.

You're right about the promotional pitch. It doesn't matter what club, they're all the same. It is useless calling and asking for an honest answer. There are some damn good coaches on Outlaws. Bobby Rooney (UNC), and Kevin Lavey (team USA). My son played for Bobby and loved him as a mentor. Lavey is brand new. I'd rather pay for great coaching than have my son sit the bench on a AAAA team. Some coaches couldn't care less about your kid and that's a bad situation. I think the Outlaws have a good thing going if they can keep their coaches and add more practices.

That's from coaches trying to keep kids they took from those teams. They don't want them to change their mind before they secure a deposit.

12 kids left select. Some from first team and some from second. So then 12 kids didn't leave select and your contradicting yourself because some were from black team according to your source.
When is this bubble going to burst? Stop coddling your kids. It is ok if he doesn't like lacrosse, its ok he doesn't make the A team. Just support your kid and learn every step of the way. All depends on how you talk to the kids. Outlaws, igloo, express....wth

They made it up to make it sound like the teams are crumbling. So hopefully those boys who were offered spots at another club take the spot and do t go back to Outlaws. It's a bad scare tactic.
Igloo B team will be like any other B team, the ugly stepchild and a money grab! The coaching will be half as good and most of the good talent will leave because they know that they are good enough to be on an A team somewhere else with better coaching. Unfortunately this is the case with the better teams. A lot of very good kids trying out for a limited number of spots. These kids and their parents know better than to stay with a B team. By the time the first practice comes half the team has found new homes and then they put the C kids on the team. Good luck with that!! Happens every year
Which teams are you referring too?
The information is very vague.
The information is very vague.
Bro. I think it's pretty clear if you read it without an agenda. 12 kids left Select. And they went to 4 teams: Igloo A and B and Express Haugen and Channy. No contradiction. People on those teams have their rosters so they know. Kids also talk.
Maybe Select upgraded all 12 spots but does anyone believe that? Teams try to improve every year. No problem with that. But parents should hear why 12 kids left a top team. That's a lot. And people should share information before we pay another $100 tryout fee or call and get a rainbows and unicorns view of the world from the club. The value in this site is sharing info.

Tornados only took 18 kids mainly because they wanted some room for these kids who are fed up. Go to Tornados. They will be good this year.

It's actually 20, and of those 20 only 2 new kids will have an impact. Probably still 2nd tier for another year or two.
And also because only 30 showed up to tryouts and 1/2 of them were absolutely terrible. Play in B divisions and you can expect B level talent to come knocking.
Has Igloo found a coach yet? If not, why would anyone even go to that tryout?
Igloo has a coach, and it's a very good one at that!

Do they really tell you what string they are going to be? And that is all based off of tryouts alone?

we all know the story with express, but maybe they were happy with their experience after the made the move. got plenty of playing time if he was orginally on the b team going to the c. maybe their kid had a good time and their parents enjoyed watching him have a good time. there are people happy with every organization, good and bad.

First string on a A/B team. It's hard to improve and be seen from the bench.

Yeah, we all know the secret (wink wink).
That would depend on the AA team and if they actually use the second line like colleges do. My son is second line middie on his team and gets minimal time. I wish he would go elsewhere where he would be a starter and would get better, but he has friends on his team.
BM will be the 3rd coach there if he lasts and he only brought 2-3 kids, one of which is his kid........

That's true, and clubs don't matter once you hit high school. Your high school coach will be your sons advocate for the school he wants to go to.

I don't know who this BM is but he must be really popular. It seems like he's the most talked about person in youth lax on LI. Is he that crazy or wronged so many people? I am officially curious

I don't know who this BM is but he must be really popular. It seems like he's the most talked about person in youth lax on LI. Is he that crazy or wronged so many people? I am officially curious
He's one of the best and will be replacing Igloo next year.
It's a balancing act. If coaching is good on the A/B team, then I would say go there to get the increased playing time. However, if the coaching is better on the A team and you have questions about the A/B team, then stay put.
That depends on the coach. Once you go to a B team coaching usually drops off. Also a lot of kids run from B teams so you end up with kids that still can't catch and throw good! That could frustrate your kid. See what the talent level is before you jump because your kid will get better by playing with the better kids in practice. 5 tournaments compared to 40 practices.

If your kid never gets to hit the field and execute what he learned in practice, he will not get better. His enthusiasm as well as his IQ will suffer. There is a lot to be said for game play. And when time comes for recruiting and showcases he needs to be where he will stand out most. College coaches go to tournaments -- not practices.
That's true, and clubs don't matter once you hit high school. Your high school coach will be your sons advocate for the school he wants to go to. [/quote]
So wrong....good luck if that is your approach

High school coaches come and go -- one BOE meeting and they can be out. Also how many high schools have dedicated resources and funds for college recruiting - from showcases to highlight reels to simply keeping stats. Maybe a few select privates. The directors of the top Clubs have far deeper relationships with College coaches. They have been feeding colleges top talent in the regions for years.

Summer lacrosse my friend...club coaches do the majority of the work. I can't tell you how many people I know that thought their varsity coach would help and it did not go anywhere. I'm sure there are a few good ones out there but in today's environment its mainly done over the summer.

There are no major top clubs in Ohio, California, Texas, etc. Kids are coming from all over the country in areas that lacrosse doesn't even reach the map. How are all of those players recruited without being on a top club, or any club?

Incorrect. All of those States have big elite lacrosse clubs with focus (and success) in college recruiting. Texas Elite, Sentry, Mustangs, West Coast Starz ( who have beaten LI teams many times!) 3D. Lacrosse is barley on the map in Massachusetts and Laxachussetts has very impressive list of commits

Read Myles jones article on the players tribune site. He explains how he got recruited to duke. Not one word of club teams or the outlaws he played for. He credited trying out for the Empire State games, which was a function of high school. He also threw a mention to his PAL club for getting him interested in lacrosse.

True. Most D1 player interviews about how they were recruited rarely acknowledge a club team, and most always talk about the influence of their head coach in High School.The best way to get recruited is Individual showcases and Prospect camps for the schools you want to go to.
If your kid is a freak athlete like Myles J that I'm sure it doesn't matter, for all the rest of the mortals, like I said good luck if you rely on your HS coach.

7/8 new kids. Some came from Badgers and others came because they knew he was coaching. 1st practice was pretty good from where I was standing. Extremely up tempo. Teams looks pretty good and there were 5 missing due to football. Time will tell.
Rob Pannell never played club lax. He only played at Smithtown West.5 foot 8, and 170 lbs. Very smart kid got him into Cornell, the list goes on.
Uh, pretty sure Pannell played Team LI...

He only got into Cornell after a PG year at Deerfield. He was a Quinipiac commit before that. I think he even signed a NLI. He supposedly was 5'5" Soph yr of HS. Apples and Oranges. He is the ultimate late bloomer. He played for the Jesters too.

Let's be honest, shall we? I really don't understand guys that come on here and say their team is the best after a single practice. Wait till you play a tournament in the A division against the top 5 or 6 teams and then tell how good they are. BM is not the head coach. He's the assistant to the assistant. The kids who came to Tornados did so because they never saw the field on their previous teams. Maybe it was badgers, bandits, igloo, etc... But if they didn't play it means they were not good enough to be on those teams. Tornados will be better than last year, but no one came because of BM. Except his kid and his friends.
outside of JS, BM is the best youth coach on Long Island.

That's laughable. He was terrible, demoralizing and could not relate to young children. Yelling doesn't always work. Sometimes a coach needs to teach.

Even though Pannell is not old, the landscape of club lacrosse and recruitment has changed dramatically in the last 6 years. There are now more clubs, more tournaments, more showcases. AD's and college coaches are not going to HS games to watch one player when they can go to a showcase and see 100. That's not my opinion, it's the way it works now. Football being the obvious exception.

Terrible??? He developed one of the best teams in the grade. Stop being angry. He's a good coach. he's loud and does a great job instructing the kids. and btw get use to it, college coaches are going to baby your kid. Petro, Tierney, Corrigan all yell.
Based on all the movement to other clubs this year, who do you think improved or dropped in ranking?

No club coach "gets" any kid recruited. If your kid is good, college coaches will find him and the ONLY thing a club coach does is be the liaison between the player and college coach. This whole notion that Channy/Express gets kids recruited is such BS. He does nothing special and trust me,
If a player on BM's team is highly desirable,
Yes he can be the go-between and get him recruited. You people need to stop drinking the koolaide.
He was a holdback too.

He didn't develop that team. He was handed the players, had two good seasons and then got shown the door because he was ruining the team. Call a spade a spade. 4 years ago all the Suffolk kids that could catch went to the Bandits and all the kids that could catch in Nassau went to Badgers. He had nothing to do with it. Anyone can coach the best kids.

I hate when this one Dad keeps bashing the guy. Do not speak for the entire team because you're Not even close to being true. He recruited our 5 best players from the South Shore who were not coming if not for his contacting those parents. The big attackman was a family friend and wanted to play for him for years, he put our best middy on the team without a trying out because the kid has a broken collarbone ar that time,he found and developed our best goalie at the hub and convinced the Dad to bring him to pracfice.
His departure had to do with differences with AJ and the Express directors who should leave our team alone.
He developed our team. That's the spade you shoukd be calling.

That shows how uneducated you are. That is 100% NOT TRUE!
BM took group of second grade boys and developed them into great team, the same way that JS did with the Bandits. Both are top notch coaches. Let's see where the Tornados are at the end of the year. My guess is that they are top 5.

Maybe if he was head coach. But he's 2nd assistant. He just needed to get his kid on a team and only wanted to coach him himself.

I'm really not sure which team you're talking about, but he didn't develop the Badgers. Clearly this is the egomaniac himself posting as a Badger parent.

It's so obvious who you are. You've done nothing but bash him the past year and a half. My post is 100% accurate and NO, it's not BM himself. I am a Badger parent who is tired of reading your crap. You divide our team. You're a [lacrosse] stirrer.
Wow, this one guy needs to get a life. He's a BM stalker. It's either a Badger parent who's kid didn't see enough time, a kid he cut ir Channy himself trying to minimize BM's success to make Express look good. Pick one but either way, you need to get a life and let it go.

100% false. DL is the head coach. He has been and will remain. That was made perfectly clear. If your kid was really on the team you would have known that. Your agenda is confusing. If your kid is not on the team, why would you post something like that? Oh, maybe because you are BM and you made promises to a bunch of people that you would be coaching? I guess you didn't tell them you were just on the staff because you promised to bring kids with you. Such a pathetic fool you are. Some of us appreciate Coach Doug for all that he has done for us and are not really excited that you are here. Your baggage and attitude are not welcome. Just run the drills you're told to run and let DL run our team.

So it's really going to be a work in progress again to see what happens.
1. Bandits
2-6. Igloo, express one, Warriors, s2s, outlaws select
Next batch is express 2, empire green, tornados, mamas
Next e3, recon, icon, hitmen
Next bluefish, outlaws black, express 3, force, 365, empire whiteams
That's everyone I could think of. And yes I'm bored. Long overnight shift and having trouble counting sheep.
Igloo was pretty good last year? half team? Why?

Politics. Coaches brought in their own and kicked out the others. It'll happen again next year. Coaches will be replaced as well. Happens every year with Igloo.

And it's getting harder to bring the year older players to tournaments when your playing really good teams.
Wow!!! if they upgraded that many players, Igloo will be the team to beat.
[quote=Anonymous]Igloo was pretty good last year? half team? Why?
They didn't dump half the team, they upgraded a few spots just like every other team. Stop trying to stir the pot.

Well, since Outlaws were the #1 team in the country last season, Igloo will should be playing up a grade this year if they got that many Outlaw players.
They smoked Outlaws when they played last year. Nice move.
Comical

I hope that parents of boys that really should be playing on a 2022 team feel really proud that their boys aren't talented enough to play 2022 and were picked up on 2023 team.(we all know who I mean)ADK Sad how teams resort to cheating to possibly take over the top 2023 title. Hope it comes back to bite you in your ***

So sounds like "upgraded" means they took Outlaw players from an upper grade. Nice. Wonder if it 's that same coach who cheated stacking a Huntington Town team with Manhasset Igloo players and got tossed out for cheating. Looks like history will repeat itself -- just hope it doesn't happen after everyone spends all that money to go to Florida!

WOW!!! Do you know every director or coach of these teams to get all this info or you just heard all this form other people and you take it as fact.
I take it you were one of the parents from the other team. I heard that Huntington coach is a great coach. Stacked team at 11 years old
Agree. Very solid team.

Sounds like you are patting yourself on the back. The team was great before you cut the players. Good luck with your downgrade.

It's the same answer every year... the coach took his crew from the Outlaws who he knows. Next year the new coach will bring his people from whatever town he might be from. If you play for Igloo you will have to deal with that.

"You heard" yeah ok- igloo was smart they had a good year and now they are fielding a 2nd team, with half the outlaw team leaving they will probably all land on the 2nd team. Problem is what happened that the team split up ?
It's the same answer every year... the coach took his crew from the Outlaws who he knows. Next year the new coach will bring his people from whatever town he might be from. If you play for Igloo you will have to deal with that.
People, Express and 91 had 150 kids show up for tryouts, Igloo close to 100. It's difficult process to take new players as someone has to get cut. Each team took players felt made the squad better but only time will tell.
What about true blue? not on your list
heard recon pick up some new players should be a very solid team

No F'n way bro. You Massapequa click can stick it where the sun don't shine.
S2S had a minor overhaul. They are operating like a college program, targeting a few kids that they see over the course of the season and then recruit them hard. Programs out for money will continue to run the tryouts.

No. We'd never play for JC.
JC is better then you think boys and girls. Pure lacrosse mind and loves the kids.
Old school hurts for most of you. Bring it back, coddling your kids is wrong.

I heard they make a lot of upgrades
Does anyone know of any A clubs who are still looking for players? We moved to LI in July and never had a chance for tryouts. My son was on an A club in the South. Looking for any suggestions.

Outlaws still have tryouts next weekend and it's close to CSH. Most of the other A teams already had tryouts but you could still try and contact the club directors. Good luck!

Isnt S2S mainly Manhasset players, I don't get why TB is being called a Massapequa team. Yes there are 7 or 8 kids from Massapequa on the team. Aren't most teams built with a core of one town. Anyway TB will be a solid team this year and JC is a great coach.

S2S made some changes and are not just Manhasset. Who cares anyway where the kids are from?
My point exactly, I just keep hearing TB is a Massapequa only team. In the end it's about the kids learning the game, getting better and having fun.

Because it's a waste of time trying out for a club when they tell you there are openings and only the coach is bringing in his crew.
S2S picked up 5 or 6 new kids.

Two Igloo teams at this level now? Really . . . Which one is the one that beat Bandits last year - Black Diamond or Nordic Edge?

Neither as igloo used older players from year up to beat them. They also replace about 10 players from last year. So it's nowhere near the same team from that game.

A bunch of the TB teams have a decent group of LVSCD kids.

Neither. Last years team had a 50% turnover so the team that beat the Bandits is gone.

The team that just cut half their players. Should have cut the coaches instead.

Man Bandit parents are still upset that a legitimate team beat them fair and square. Love it!!!! Sorry no holdbacks . Get over it already
So much talk and finger pointing. Step up and the best team will win the BIG T-Shirt.
Everyone has a Paul Rabil and rob pannel....Goodluck.
My hat goes off to all the coaches that take the time to coach and develope, and to the kids to have to listen to all the BS.

Hold backs play all season. It was kids brought in just for that tournament.
Actually someone whos kid was just cut for no reason! Last year there were players brought in that were not on team. Cutting kids that helped build this team for "favors" is ridiculous and disappointing. So many things occur in this organization that are unethical and we have turned our back to it. NOT anymore

Specifically a face off kid. It was already confirmed by Igloo parents when it happened. Let it go. Some teams need to cheat. Some don't. Igloo has been know for their shady practices since the club's inception. Time to move on and focus on football with a sprinkling of lacrosse

I think you have your stories mixed up, it was the bandits who brought the faceoff kid in at NXT.

Your kid got cut because the coach just brought in his buddies, so there really is a reason why your son just got cut.

But he was a 2023, not a 2022. He was the outlaw face man that jumped ship mid season. That's already been confirmed here.
They brought in Outlaws.
They destroyed the Outlaws last year

Igloo had that kid for the whole tourney. Used only when they needed a boost to get the win. Weak.

Bandits would have struggled to win the NXT without the guest FOGO....no helmet, no name on jersey, he just appears like a super hero....

It's comical, pathetic, and scummy. It draws our attention to what you really are, and since most people are not like you, it captivates us with what garbage you are doing to Igloo as a coach, and as an organization. That's why!

It was a different coach last year when igloo beat the bandits. It was a legit win. What a new coach does the following year does not have anything to do with Igloo winning that game. New coaches always bring in new kids. It is not surprising bench players were replaced with new players and some of the new players will start for Igloo this year. If this is scared bandits parents posting you do have every right to be scared. Igloo played you tight last year and with new bench players and some new starters those close games may have a different outcome.

I'm not a Bandit or Igloo parent but I have two friends that are on Igloo and neither one of them care if they win or lose. I asked both of them about older kids playing in that game specifically the FOGO and they both said absolutely not and I believe them. Whether you believe that or not I don't care, I just find all you parents hilarious. It amazes me to see how you guys ruin youth sports for kids. Good luck to all the next Paul Rabils....

I really hope that isn't supposed to mean Locust Valley Central School District..... I wouldn't classify any TB team as Locust Valley heavy.
True Blue has the Massapequa favored stereotype because the core of many of the teams comes from Massapequa. Plus, tryouts and majority of practices are in Massapequa.....and many of TB coaches live in Massapequa and are involved with the youth program there, so they get to know the kids before club lacrosse begins.
True Blue is not a Massapequa only team.....just where a lot of the team comes from as it is a local option for a large town

Thanks dad. maybe you should instill in your son to play out his commitment to his team instead of jumping ship before the season ends. Hope he enjoys being the back up to JS's kid

The two remaining coaches are not new. They were there last year and were the assistants and cut half of that team. There is no new head coach. Hmmmmm. the same 10 will play 90 percent of all games. That wont change because it's the coaches kids and there cronies.

New coaches always bring in new kids. It is not surprising bench players were replaced with new players and some of the new players will start for Igloo this year. If this is scared bandits parents posting you do have every right to be scared. Igloo played you tight last year and with new bench players and some new starters those close games may have a different outcome.""
Can't wait to see the boys crush you and your Outlaw backups. Maybe you can bring them all over to tryouts at our camp next summer.

at "our camp" daddy your not playing are you or is this a coach which is very Igloo like. Your a joke we watched you play stall ball in 5th grade lacrosse vs bandits. Who stalls in youth lacrosse The Outlaws will be fine we have great coaches that actually care about the kids
You are not very bright. That last post with the reference to our camp was from a Bandit parent busting on Igloo.
2015/2016 is in the books. Move on. Good luck to all this season.
I read all these posts about knocking all these teams , coaches and pointing out players and programs. Stop already, have a cranberry juice and SHut the &$@? Up...have a good season and cherish the memories with your kid(s).

It's "you're" not "your" a joke. Your grammar is a joke and you're obviously someone who didn't pay attention in English class.

Well this is a forum to post discussions. Following your advice to shut up would make this just a blank website. So if you don't like it, stay away. But that's for your input.
Igloo lost their head coach again this season. Did they replace him or did they just give it to the [lacrosse] leprechaun assistant?
Top 5 B teams for this year?

They still have the same assistant who brought in all the Outlaws. He's not a [lacrosse].

They gave it to the [lacrosse] leprechaun - it was the plan all along. He was always going to be the head coach from the moment they fired DK. That's the Igloo way - they just lie right to your face...

ok a hole but its ok to talk about which A teams are the best
Igloo $4K per kid is that true ? At 20 paid that's $80K budget figuring coaches kids play for free. Has anyone tried to wrap their head around that and what is the upside over a 5 year stint for $20K out of pocket before travel expenses. Between "tuition" (love that phrase) , travel and aggravation tax parent are out of pocket for $50K. Has Igloo had one D1 commit ? They have one good team that got smacked around in that WSYL game and all this talk about this group. Can someone explain what the bad blood is about, all we read is Lucky Charms and Outlaws Poacher and what jerks these guys are.
Does everyone realize that every club has a website? Go look for yourselves instead of making all these none sense accusations that are so far fetched from reality. Any organizations website will tell you all the correct info your bantering about! Seriously sometimes I wonder if any of you people have jobs!

One reason there is bad blood is because of the poaching, and once the kids get to Igloo, the owner switches coaches and the kids are cut. The naive parents who took their kids out of a good organization are told the grass is greener over in Jericho.

If he is really coaching that team; every parent should take their kid and run away as fast as they can. He's horrible.

$4000 to play 12 yr old lacrosse is crazy. There is nothing that any club can offer a 12 yr old that can justify a parent paying $4000. s
Stop please stop the whining ....it's getting old. Then don't tryout for the club. Don't knock until you try it. The tryout alone was top notch and competitive.
No A hole its not ok to talk about either (A or B), the whole post was sarcastic, hence the Bandits reference. The way all these parents talk about teams, coaches, kids is pathetic. I honestly cant believe the stupidity that goes on here. Again good luck to all, I'm sure you guys already have your kids verbally committed to D1 schools... :):):)

It is did you see their practice fields- part of the "tuition " pays for the in ground sprinklers and a landscaper to cut the grass. It keeps it really green.....

And I'm sure it wasn't free either and that's fine but $4K is a huge number and my point was what is the return on your investment. This is just club lax expense start adding showcases , prospect camps etc etc. A parent can be at $80K or more at this rate and there is no guarantee. I remember the days when clubs were $1K per kid and don't give the BS that tourney costs when up. Tourneys were $1500 now maybe $2500 so at 6 events thats an extra $6K in expenses. Uniforms are either cheaper or for free now because a club gets sponsored. Let us lookout at the club side 20 kids at $1K vs 20 at $4K that's $60K to the plus side to make up that paltry $6K in tournament increases. And being that you brought up tryouts $25 vs $100 and there are double the number of kids because of the mass confusion, it's like the stock market and how traders make $$$$ in a volatile market. Finally , the clubs chirp about loyalty and the lack thereof but see how fast a club releases a kid that is slightly better or is politically connected to the club or the coach. The whole fish stinks from the head on down.

Why only 2 helmets?
Pay for college yourself....it is cheaper than getting a scholarship thru club lacrosse.

You don't need club lacrosse to get recruited. Every college has prospect days. Narrow down the college list to the ones your kid wants to attend and go to those prospect days. Easy as that.

I just checked the website, $3100 for new players, 2400 for current players. where does the $4k come from?

So you think it's that easy ? I assume your kid will get better and be in competitive games and game situations on his or I should say your PAL team ??

That is the damn truth! Seen it dozens of times. Add up 10 years of club lacrosse tuition and travel expenses! That's more than any lax scholarship these days! Guarantee!
Also seen the stud lax players passed over by the D1's because they don't have the grades!

Not every kids needs travel lax to go to the next level. My damn cousin didn't come from a lot of money and made D1 and play pro all while playing little old PAL. You people are [lacrosse]....
This year Igloo is throwing in the extra bonus of playing down in Fla new years weekend. So pay for some really expensive flights, and break your family up for New Year weekend, or take out a second mortgage and bring the whole family. That's really necessary for a 6th grader

Sounds like it's going to cost a lot more than $4k this year ! And that doesn't include the "extra" training with the gnome that costs $20 each time your kid shows up!

24 didn't have a 2023 last year so they can't be on list. Bluefish lost games by double digits all summer. Don't waste your time with with this list.

Jeeze .. I'm sure igloo parents and players are glad you are no longer on the sidelines. I feel bad for the new team your son is playing for because your bitterness does nothing for your son.

Bangals only have a 2022 and 2021 team, and 24 is a brand new club that's still trying to put a 2023 together, so I am not sure how they are on the list.

The best B team now has to be Igloo since they took the Outlaws players.

True Blue is significantly better than the rest of the teams on this list. They tied the much heralded S2S team last year and added a few very strong new players. They will compete with everyone other than the top 2 teams next year.
They tied S2S when S2S goalie was out with a broken hand They don't come close when the goalie is playing He's 1/2 their defense
There is a Gnome , Lucky Charm and maybe a four leaf clover and it ain't even St Paddy's day.

1. recon
2. true blue
3. hitmen
4. bluefish
5. one of those "A" teams, B team
True Blue is significantly better than the rest of the teams on this list. They tied the much heralded S2S team last year and added a few very strong new players. They will compete with everyone other than the top 2 teams next year. [/quote
See you in the A brackets then

Agree
Thanks for your input Recon Dads. I know 2 kids on the team and they don't step on the field for there PAL teams. Good luck this year...
That doesn't say much for their PAL coach!

Not true. It is mandatory that everyone plays in PAL games or your coach and team gets kicked out. That's why some travel kids stop playing PAL.

I'm happy the kids enjoy playing and work to get better. This forum is just a parental genital measuring contest.

Are you playing tough guy? Another idiot living thru his kids sports life! Their mouths aren't running, stop your crap and let the 11 and 12 year olds enjoy the game of lacrosse and stop the BS that you bring to the table.
Grow the game not your ego!!!
Will the new Igloo Artic Edge play in A bracket or B bracket in tournaments. How competitive are they expected to be?
100% Agree. How many "normal" parents are on here looking for some good information and have to sift through psycho Dad Marinovich postings? Get a life, I'm hoping most people want their kids to play against appropriate level of competition (A or B) and improve on a game the kids love.

I don't see how you say growing ego, let the teams play and then see where everything lands. You all sit her and post about clubs that don't even have 2023 teams or new 2023 teams and rank teams that have1/4 of the roster different from last year. You want kids to get better and teach them to respect the game, how do you do that taking other team players mid season, playing kids down just to win, having a 25+ man roster. What do you team them doing that?
I think what was posted makes the most sense, fall tourney are right around the corner, practice smart and practice hard , and the most prepared team will win that game. But then others will be on here saying how that team only won by cheating.
Looking on this forum for actual lacrosse info, that is a joke. People just use this site to amuse themselves bc they are bored at work, nothing more. If this was a lagitament lacrosse forum, they would require all posters to register themselves and not post anonymously. That is one way to clean up this site quite quickly and make it something that would benifit the lacrosse community.b

As for now, it's a developing team and don't anticipate much. There will be cuts next year and will continue to bring in kids in clusters from our coaches, whomever they may be at that time.

The Recon coach is friendly with many True Blue coaches at various ages. A game outside of tournament play can easily be set up.

What happened to the Express A team? They cut some awesome players that were devoted to the club for the past several years. If this is the case, should I pull my son from the team knowing they're going to kick him off at some point? I'd rather have security of knowing where my money is going and where my son is playing.
Express A cut kids who were at the bottom of their roster. Did they bring in kids who were better? Probably not!!! Not sure why they did that. They brought in A/B caliber players. Must be a favor to MC. DELETED!!!!!!!!. They must have had a good tryout.
Let's talk about your kid, moron!!!!!!!!!!

No. It happens at every club. And some kids just leave on their own for different reasons.
Express does not cut kids. If true they may have left for another team or put on another Express team.

Those kids were "replaced" by holdbacks. So much for loyalty. It was already known apparently by the "inner circle" what was going to happen before tryouts, and at tryouts it became even more obvious when you saw these kids that stood a full head taller than most of these other kids in that graduating year. Pathetic

I like this. "Whomever they may be at the time" Since Igloo has a revolving door with the coaches This is the first truthful thing Ive seen come out of Igloo

Come over to Tornados because Igloo's 2nd team has to pay the same price for less quality tournaments, and the turnover will be huge.
i am looking for some intel on twenty four lacrosse. does anyone out there have any impartial, unbiased information on this club and what positions they are looking to fill. thanks.

Before you start believing what an anonymous poster might say to you, ask the club directly.

My son is playing on the 2025 team and I have to say I really like what I saw. Coaches were cool. Seemed to be talent at all levels. Most important my son is happy so I am happy.

Stop. Those kids cut from Express saw little playing time last year. Some of them for 2 years. Coach gave them a shot but they were behind. They were 3rd string and those are the kids that get cut. Nice kids but it wasn't a surprise they were cut. Maybe only their Dads were surprised. They didn't land on a competitive team so that tells you what you need to know. It's not harsh it's reality.

LY wasn't there 28 kids on the roster? It's impossible for any kid to get decent playing time when you are playing 40 minute games in a tournament.
When Recon decides to enter an A bracket then they will see TB. They enter B Brackets because the coach knows that they are a B team. If they got that much better this year then enter A brackets. This is a joke until then.

Stop the press! The Simon Cowell of youth lacrosse has deemed a bunch of 11, 12 year old kids playing lax not good enough. I wonder what will happen to them now that they were not able to make a competitive team at 11. We should do a trading places style experiment to see how they will turn out. Will they turn to crime and whatever else to survive the rough streets of Long Island or will they work hard and find a way to take the (MC who by the way looks like one of the duke brothers) down.
This is so laughable. Have some of you ever heard about this great equalizer call puberty. It's coming and up will be down and down will be sideways. Good luck to all and I hope you can hold Nike and the D1 offers from poring in for your 6th grader.

No. Express 1 (Honey Badgers to some) had 21 kids. But AJ didn't play kids equally, like most A teams. So the 5th and 6th attackman and the 6th and 7th middy and the 5th and 6th defender didn't play a lot. This isn't specific to Express. But if by the end of the year your kid isn't playing a lot there's a risk he will be replaced by the next shinny toy at tryouts.

No one said Recon is an A team, they said a solid B+ team. Your problem is that True Blue is a B team.

My sons team has been practicing for about 3 weeks now. Got sized for uniforms last night and got our fall tourny schedule. Like I said well run. They are looking to fill holes at the other levels but the 2025 team is all set.

Not sure why saying kids got cut is putting them down. It's not. Kids get cut all the time. It's part of playing competitive sports. Sounds like you support participation trophys.
Truth shouldn't hurt you so much daddy. Your kid is probably over it. You should be too.

What about when they are relaced by holdbacks in 6th grade.
Insane. But it happened.
Insane. But it happened.
Give you a hint. It's either the team you got cut from. Or the team whose tryout you ran to the next weekend and didn't make.
Nice. Why?

That's ridiculous. Repeating 6th grade? Really? Can you honestly say that doesn't affect a child psychologically? What is happening to Lax parents. This is the only sport this is happening more and more frequently.

A Bandit backup player just moved and reclassed. Didn't like his position and couldn't play anywhere else.

Maybe the kid is stupid like his parents and needed to get left back.
Maybe you should know the story. The kid reclassified to 2024. He is still 10 and doesn't turn until later this year. And he still plays 2023.
What does that mean? My son is 11 and in 7th grade. 2022. Doesn't turn 12 until late October. Would never think of reclassifying.

You people are desperate. Listen to yourself. The Kid reclassified. As if he has any idea what his parents are doing to him. So pathetic you people are chasing $5k in scholarship money. By the time a '23 is ready to recruit , the whole country will be playing. Good luck. I'm sure he's happy not being in class with his friends since kindergarten anymore. Losers !!

He was on the Bandits you moron!!! No need to reclass because he would be one of the best players out there in the sport. Now he can go beat on weaker players in 4th grade, awesome. Got to love bone head parents.
True Blue played in nothing but A brackets all season last year and won a couple of tournaments. If your kid was on some of the "elite" teams that now play in the NLF then you probably didn't see them. Unfortunately there are a few talented teams that aren't making Channy richer just to avoid the new age guidelines!

Until the "new flavor" comes around and the kid is just another kid. I've seen it happen a lot . Good luck parents

Every knows AJ doesn't have say in who makes that team. The badgers practice is he only one where you'll see Mrs AJ carrying AJ balls out on the field.
I am a little late to the tryouts. Is anyone going to Recon or Outlaw tryouts, and if so which is a better option? Thank you for any trusted advice.

Recon is a great program. They do so much with the kids and building them to become better adults as well as great Lacrosse players/teammates. That is my biased review as my son plays with them.
My friends son plays Outlaws and both he and the his son love the program.
Go to both and see what you prefer.
I notice a lot of the top clubs are quiet. I'm going to give you fair warning, the Tornados have improved at every level and will be chasing the top club next season!
Is it possible they are a little quiet because its mid september, football season and some people have other things besides youth lacrosse in their lives.

Every knows AJ doesn't have say in who makes that team. The badgers practice is he only one where you'll see Mrs AJ carrying AJ balls out on the field.
Pull your kid as fast as you can. Teaching your child about loyalty is far more important than being a Badger. Plenty of good clubs where loyalty shines from the ownership down through to the parents.
Think it's great things are quiet let the kids have balance and get going in school and fall sports

They lost in B tournaments last year. But this year they will be playing A bracket in A tournaments? Almost as miraculous a turnaround as Tornados! Can't wait to see them at LI LX FST.
People have no clue how big the gap in talent is between B and B plus teams to A. This won't be the first time parents think a B team can compete with the A teams after some changes were made to the B team. The jump can be made but it is very difficult to make it especially in just one year. Most older years have only 3 to 5 true A teams per year on Long Island. This year will be no different on how many true A teams it will have by 8th grade. One last note if your kid can't make an A team it does not matter. You will find that out in a few years kids get recruited from all teams A , B and even C and not all the kids on A teams get recruited. Don't worry about the label placed on any team. It has no meaning on how good any kid is on those teams.

Pretty sure Outlaws had their last tryout last Saturday. So you might be figuratively and literally late. I guess you can call to see if spots are open and ask for a private tryout.
There is a good deal of chatter about Express 2023 HB Team. It started out cordial about a parent asking if it is worth keeping his son on the team if all it means is he may get cut next year. From a parent where my son was cut from the team after playing with them for 3 years, and there were only 5 of us, the team dynamic was awesome. Kids loved one another and the parents all got along (let's leave the BM incident out of the equation).
My son was cut and, in the long run, it may be the best thing that happened to him. AJ is an awesome coach and you would know this if you attended any of his practices or really watched him during the game. Yes, he is quiet but don't mistake that for passiveness. He is very passionate about the game and making kids better. His only real downfall is his lack of communication. It may sound naïve but the team had a good season and everyone, at least I thought, had the hopes this would be one of those teams where the kids stay together through to the end of travel lacrosse. Had I known this was not the case, I could have prepared for the inevitability. With the exception of a few stand-outs on the team, there is very little disparity from the top to the bottom. I don't think saying a kid is a 7th or 8th midfielder is fair/accurate. I think the coaches were so used to the boys and their roles that, regardless of how they played, they viewed them a certain way so some of them were simply under-utilized. It's hard for a child to advocate for themselves and a parent can only change the coaches mind so much.
It was a big blow to my son as it was probably for any child cut from a team. It still stings and I worry he may not have the same passion for the game as he doesn't want to be disappointed again. I hope I am wrong but we did scramble to make a couple of late tryouts. He was not his best and it showed. We found a team and the coach is a great guy. He likes my son and I am hoping he brings out the best in him. If you have ever heard the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure" it rings true.
My hope is Express 2023 does great and I will continue to root for them and AJ... except when my son plays them
Go ahead and beat me up now!!!

Kudos to that guy!
Well said! Good for you - your son will rebound quickly because it appears he has normal parents! A rarity in this sport!
Wow, a breath of fresh air!!! I think we may have talked at one of those tryouts and appreciated your honesty around the subject. It's great to get feedback from normal people who are supporting their kids for all the right reasons. We all love this sport but most people on here need to look themselves in the mirror and ask some hard questions. I hope your son likes his new team! Good luck next season!

An alternative would be to have your son go to the B team on Express. At this age your son needs quality coaching and repetition. Parents think that their children should be on the A team or bust. I've been on both sides of the fence A & B, and the B worked out better for game playing time, man up, man down, etc. Most of the time on an A team kids sit the bench a lot more.

Nicely said. Just a matter of time that these kids that were cut, or kids that didn't make Express realize it's just a name and they CAN play on the same field against them. After all, they did play on the same team WITH them. Just think. Now your son is another team's shiny new toy. Hope he has a great season, and he rebuilds his self confidence. It's a tough age for these boys, but kids are very resilient.
It's like an avalanche and I can't stop. Thank you for the advice about considering a B team. My older son actually plays on what would be considered a B team and they are anything but. Many of the kids are just as good as the A team players but not better so the original players stay put. It kind of sucks but I actually agree with that.
That said, two points I want to make clear. We went to another club because I was extremely impressed with that particular coach and I truly believe my son and the team will get quality coaching. Regarding the A/B thing, since the quality coaching is not a concern as I stated, there is a psychological component. You may disagree but, as I mentioned in the original post, my son was under-utilized. I never said I didn't think he was an A team player. I want my son to believe in himself and we are using this opportunity for a fresh start. That B team may actually be better than his new team but putting him on the team, in some manner, is admitting defeat which we are not prepared to do at his young age of 11.
Please don't take the last sentence the wrong way... I made it clear I have no issues with B teams.
I hope this is helpful. Getting this out has been for me.

Completely agree with you. Confidence is key. Move forward not back. Congratulations on being such supportive and level headed parents.

His lack of communicaion is a BIG issue for me. The team/kids hut a brick wall with no warning. A coach who can't communicate is NOT a good coach. Sorry but it's the truth.
Did Icon at this age level fold?? They couldn't get a goalie last year and I heard many of the parents were unhappy. Curious if they held it together. I haven't come across anyone on the team.
Thanks to this guy for keeping this forum on a heading I for one appreciate. Willing to share specific info, offer an opinion, and let others absorb it. Thank you!
PS- not sure the guys who bombard the forum with silly posts realize there are many of us who don't know or care about random insider snipes like "JS ditched *** because BM is a sideline dad [lacrosse] who should be a B coach!" ... spare us.

I want to commend that dad for his truthful analogy on lax at 11 and showing support for his previous team and coach. If your son follows the same philosophy as you, he will be successful. 11 year olds need guidance and support. They need to know that their parents support them and only want whats best!!!!
Thank you for the support. The last couple days have been therapeutic. The few people that identified me have only had nice things to say and felt I gave them a voice as well.
I won't pretend I am not one of those parents that never complains. It would be foolish to pretend otherwise. What I can tell you is we should all take a moment to just watch our kids. They get on the field and there is no malice in them. They play because it is fun (and to win). When it stops being fun they will stop playing.
For the person that hopes my child has the same philosophy as me... I am the one that is trying to live by his philosophy. All I can do is try and make sure he continues to love life which is no easy task.
Back to lacrosse.... it's ok to live vicariously through your kids. Their experiences are your experiences. What you need to avoid is getting upset with them when they have a setback. Pick him up, dust him off and send him back out there making sure he knows you will love him no matter what (this goes for your daughters as well).

That's because they are jealous and can't do anything but take shots at the two best coaches in the grade!! Sad

No, they didn't fold. They held tryouts (and made cuts) and have rostered a team.
Why is playing on a B team admitting defeat? Did your older son admit defeat? A real shame you think this way. And maybe you should consider that your view is holding your son back.
You say your son was under utilized. That's code for not playing, right? Maybe he'd play more on a B team. That's not admitting defeat but it could be having fun. I'm sure you think he was an A player. But after being underutilized and being cut maybe not. What's the value in the label of A anyway?

News flash. More starters from B teams play college lacrosse compared to bench players on A teams. If you have older kids you will agree with this if you don't have older kids you won't agree with this.

What happened to the Express A team? They cut some awesome players that were devoted to the club for the past several years. If this is the case, should I pull my son from the team knowing they're going to kick him off at some point? I'd rather have security of knowing where my money is going and where my son is playing.[/quote]
What happened to the Express A team is they upgraded attack with 2 new kids, got one of the best goalies in the 2023 class, and added another great middy. A strong team just got quite a bit stronger. That is what happened. And the coaching group is solid, motivated, and committed.

What a fulfilled life you must have led thus far. While you continue to obviously live through your kid, please try not to be such a typical Express parent who is an arrogant [lacrosse].

I'm not sure about all of that, but this is competitive lacrosse. Like it or not, teams are trying to put the most competitive team possible on the field. If you think your son deserves a spot on one of the top teams because he could throw and catch three years ago, welcome to reality. PAL is for the "every one gets a cookie" crowd, but travel, at any age (5 year olds to 17 year olds) is about the best kid at the position. That's how it should be. That's why we pay several thousand dollars a year, to play with the best possible kids for that team. That doesn't mean your son's development will be stifled because he's not on one of the top teams; on the contrary, he may excel play more minutes. But don't hate on a program for doing what they're supposed to do.

This years trend seems to be trading out true 2023 players in exchange for reclassified hold backs. More than just that one attackman. On some teams rumor is they didn't even bother to reclass -- they are 2022's playing down. Unfortunately the sport is heading in a dark direction and until age restrictions and photo IDs are issued like soccer and football-- this trend will continue to get worse. So touting wins this year will be a bit ridiculous.

Obviously you are the goalies dad because that appraisal is a few notches above the others. A goalie can take a team from good to outstanding. He didn't do that with outlaws. Sorry to burst you bubble pops, enjoy your they year than come back and give a true assessment of the team.

People Pay to several thousand dollars to watch the best kids play and win a shirt? I thought people pay several thousand because they are getting great coaching to make their son better. If having the best player play during the games means they were trained by some PAL coach who bakes good cookies.
Blue fish is having tryouts again for 2023, anyone know how good this team is or what positions there looking for.

Seems like a couple of teams are still trying to out the rosters. Lots of teams out there now. Why not call express and see if they can have the 27th-30th kids?
Bluefish struggled last year. Don't know what kind of turnover or returnees they had

tryout for the Outlaws, they are looking for Middies, and Defense.

Last year was their first year. This year I heard a few players who are unhappy with their clubs are going over to BLue Fish and they are solid players so I predict this year they will do much better. The players who were there last year look much improved so they are doing something right.

Actually MOST of the parents that pay thousands for their kids to play travel.lacrosse do it because they are delusional that they are all going D1 on full scholarships.

Thanks dad. maybe you should instill in your son to play out his commitment to his team instead of jumping ship before the season ends. Hope he enjoys being the back up to JS's kid
And NO, I am absolutely not his father/uncle/mom/sister/whatever. I'm somebody who has seen him play quite a few times and been around a ton of youth lacrosse.

I think it was hit or miss w/ BF coaches last year, which is to be expected in their first year I guess. Seemed there was turmoil on the 2024 team, and the coaches for the 2021 team were "OK". Their other teams seemed to do well.

The Bluefish 2023 team lost about 90% of their games. I know it isn't all about wins and losses, but I don't think that qualifies doing well.

Let me restate: I think all of the HS age teams did well. I think all of the lower aged teams struggled, and they look to be having issues filling the 2021 and down teams based upon the supplemental tryouts E-Mail I just got from BOC!

AJ is just not kind of guy. "Keep the peace". He never does the right thing and is controlled by external voices in his ear. The team suffers as a result and will continue to suffer as a result. Cutting those boys after they have been on that team for years only to improve at best, marginally, was just a horrible display of the payback for loyalty. His own kid takes the spoy of better players. If he had any sort of moral backbone, his kid would be playing on a C team.

This is travel lacrosse, guy. There's no loyalty. Kids get cut when they can't keep up with the rest of the team. Doesn't matter how long they were there. Being one of 20 kids that can throw and catch at 8 doesn't secure a kid a spot for life. That's not how it works. The forces of competition should dictate rosters.

That's right...,the forces of competition SHOULD dictate rosters. Too bad the reality of the situation is that they don't.

They picked up some good players this year who were tired of the big club BS. And directors are standup guys. I think they will be a team to watch! as the cut throat mentality continues at other clubs more will come !!! They could surprise everyone in a few years.

Recon is doing the same. They'll get better each year. The big clubs have lost a lot of players because the big club owners lie to the parents and play bait and switch too often.
True dat! The lies deceit and politics is starting to get old. We don't need anymore helmets on the wall or free tshirts at this level -- most are already in the garbage! Kids want to settle in and grow with a team. There will always be minor movements for various reasons - but people are sick of the major roster changes and a dreaded tryout season waiting to see where the ax lands next. So many clubs are offering a healthier environment fortunately for all of us!

And they're tired of their kids not getting a participation trophy after the season, too!
How often does your team practice? Once a week in fall, once a week in winter, then ramp it in spring. Is that the normal?

Nah- plenty of those too. No room left on the shelf. Just want our kids to play hard, develop and skip all the BS.
What are the most popular fall tournaments & what teams will be going to these tournaments?

That's typically how most if the good programs do it. There should be at least 1 practice now a week leaving into the winter. Then a min of 2 practices a week during the spring and summer, gearing up for all the tournaments. At this age, they need to develop not only on an indv level, but as a team as well, and the only way to do that through practice.
Some programs do go overboard saying 50 practices, but in reality you should have 20-30 practices in a year with your team. if your not, i would ask questions, after all you are paying for it and they should want your kids to development, after all it helps there club name.

20-30 practices for $2500 fee? You are better off going to clinics for the whole year. It's cheaper and your son gets more reps.

i agree, but who is paying $2500 except the "top 4" clubs. The average club on LI is around $1600. if i am paying $2500 or more, then i am expecting a lot more then just practices for that cost.

Going to clinics all yr maybe cheaper. My son loves his teammates, made a whole bunch of new friends, and loves playing games and going to tournaments. I can't see taking that away from him to save a few hundred bucks over the course of the year.
Practicing once a week in the fall and winter alone will get you 20-25 practices. Once a week in March and April is another 8 more. Then twice a week in May, June and Half of July is another 20 more. Getting in 50 practices is not going overboard. I think that's s reasonable/achievable number. Most of the boys play football in the fall, I imagine, so going twice a week is probably a bad idea. Fall tournaments are meaningless anyway. Last year I put my guy in some trainings in the winter to go along with his weekly practice. I saw a big difference. The most important thing is making sure your son wants to go. If he ever tells you he doesn't want to go to practice then you're probably burning him out. It happens pretty often and generally means dad wants it a lot more than the kid.

Here's a good clinic... bring your kid to a high school wall and have him do wall ball for an hour.
Serious question. Do you think it's better to do wall ball or pitch back? An please say why. My son does a pitch back but I wanted to see if he would get more out of the wall. Thanks

Which ever one he likes the best and it keeps a stick in his hand.

wall ball much better. pitch backs take speed off the ball coming back. You want your son to learn how to catch hard and impferct passes. brick wall is perfect

They couldn't have upgraded their attack if the tiny lefty is still there. Outlaws goalie is far from the best and coaching is still the same, AJ. He's not very good
ENOUGH!!! It's like beating a dead horse. And no, I'm not an Express parent. Proof is in the pudding. Let's see what happens, and let the games begin

Who cares? Isn't there a express thread that this crap can be argued about.
Anyone else doing a fall or winter leagues. Only harding has one, but to many bad experience from them in there tournaments to try a whole league of theres. They only care about the money.

Unless you have a cage too. Then the pitch back is great for passing and catching on the run then straight to shot.

Reclassify starts to matter less and less as the kids get older. Even now, kids that are being reclassify are generally short kids that can't beat kids their own age or kids whose skill just didn't progress like dad thought they would. These are your former top team kids that started early and just didn't pan out. Just like all of the other former badgers and bandits that are playing for other teams now because they ended up riding the bench. It doesn't mean they're better, it just means the parents are getting desperate.
Who's starting to have practices already?
All top programs are practicing once a week.

Most travel teams definitely have fall practices, maybe some tourneys; optional winter workouts for some teams/mandatory for others; spring/summer practices w/ late spring/summer tourneys. PAL is the only "spring only" lax.

I heard the Outlaws are practicing 2 days per week, and they are still looking for players.
I heard HB, Igloo and Banditos are practicing 5 days a week.
Were talking about PARCTICE!!!!?PRACTICE!!!!Not a game...PRACTICE

I can believe the Bandits practicing 2x per week, but definitely not Igloo because they would have to increase their cost to $4,000 per year. HB is only going 1x.
I guess the Outlaws are trying to gain face for having 50% of their team quit on the coach.
Why do people have to prop their (son's) team up by putting another team down?
Yes, Outlaws are practicing 2x per week. Before anyone accuses them of thinking they are better or worse the practicality is it is virtually a new team with a new coach and there are couple of fall tournaments a few weeks away.
Half the team may have left this past year but, as I understand, that was principally because the previous coach was not readily available. The new coach comes with a fresh attitude and intends to be with the boys (assuming they want to remain together) for the long run. By having two practices a week he is demonstrating his commitment to the team.
The team is looking for a few players but the intent is not to pick up just any player. If there is a chance, however remote, a solid player hasn't found a team there is opportunity.
Good luck to everyone in the fall tournaments.

Igloo, Bandits, Warrior, s2S and HB only practice 1x a week. More than that in the fall is overkill considering those kids all play multiple sports in the fall.
Igloo is practicing 5x a week because the gnome is unemployed and has no other life

It's not overkill if the kids and coach are getting to know each other and are learning to play as a team considering half the team is new. I give the coach credit for putting forth so much effort and interest in these boys to form a competitive team. It's a win win situation. I wish them luck this year.

My son was on the team last season and we left because of the current coach. The current coach is the same coach as last season. It's the same old spin... blaming someone else. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Fall tourneys are silly. They only serve to get the boys playing with the new teammates and are not a reflection of the summer team. That's why 2x a week is overkill. No reason to go full force to win in the fall. Let the kids enjoy football.
Will not matter how many times they practice in the fall. They will never be able to compete with the top teams. Hopefully, the stick to "b" tournaments.

It will matter to them. The kids will get better. But, burnout is a very real thing. I'm sure that many of these kids don't want to go to practice twice a week if they're playing other sports, especially football.
You are all missing the point...
1) Yes, I am a new parent to the Outlaws team (formally with Express HB - so some of you will be able to guess who I am. Not that I am hiding).
2) We are not practicing to win / lose fall tournaments. Just practicing to get better.
3) The current coach took over very late last year and, by then, the parents were appropriately disgruntled so unlikely to change a formed opinion of the program.
4) 2x per week for a few weeks so the kids can become familiar with one another will not burn them out.
Whether we play in A or B brackets is the coaches decision. You providing your invaluable insight won't sway the discussion. Honestly, it makes you sound petty. I am sure that wasn't your intention but it is the impression everyone will have. Lucky you are able to post under "anonymous" so your identity is safe.
I have tried to stay positive but maybe there should be a new rule to the forum. If you post something negative, you must include your name. I guarantee there would be a significant improvement in the dialogue.

Travel lax is a year round deal now. If it is not the primary sport then what are you paying for ? PAL Football ???? 180$ or $2500?
Lost on why so many kids sign up for travel lax just to "keep up with the jones's".
prioritize every other sport then wonder why little Johnny's team can't win a game ? Or why Johnny can't crack an "A" team.

How is the Blatant Fall Jam tournament, do many top teams play in it?

prioritize every other sport then wonder why little Johnny's team can't win a game ? Or why Johnny can't crack an "A" team.

Just wow!
To what end should the boys be focusing on only one sport?
Even if your goal is college lax, then know that those coaches prefer multi-sport athletes.
Try letting the boys experience their childhood, including interacting with other boys outside of lacrosse, and being exposed to other sports, which bring to the table other physical and emotional elements.
Lacrosse can be a boy's "favorite sport" - that does not equal "only sport".
Throwing in a practice 1x per week for the fall in addition to their true fall sports committments is fine, and exactly what both my sons do and what I pay for, but if there is a conflict, the fall sport wins out.
Considering the numbers on LI that play travel lax, and the varying ability levels of those involved, not sure why you think it is some homogeneous thing - what exactly do you mean by keep up with the Jones??!
Lax only, all year round is not the recipe for most - it is likely to burn out most kids on the sport. Stop acting like that is or should be the norm, and stop depriving the joy of being a kid.

Ya, that's me and the world has done me and my kid wrong and rather than take responsibility for our actions we are blaming the world.
You, on the other hand, have so much to contribute to the world of lacrosse and society.
I really do appreciate you opening my eyes to all my short-comings. Rather than provide honest feedback about my experience I will grunt on the sideline. That's something you may be able to appreciate.
Go ahead... provide some more witty comments. Everyone really enjoys them.

Valid point. Honestly I kinda fell in this bucket. My son likes the game but in speaking with him turns out he liked the travel team more because his friends are on the team. I used to not mind because it's what all his friends' parents were doing. This year I thought about it and realized it's very silly to spend $2K on this when he could be focusing more on his two other sports that he's better at a combined price tag that's way less than the cost of travel lacrosse
Go play football, baseball, Soccer, Whatever... Jack of all trades master of none.. Your son isn't passionate about 1 sport more than the other? ????
You can afford to pay Travel LAX dollars and prioritize PAL Football?
Im sure your son will be fine.
I consider Travel Lax a commitment and a gift. Respect the opportunity to play. Alot of parents treat it like an activity. PAL Lax is an Activity ....
Keeping up with the Jones's....Signing your son up to everything because all the other parents are signing there kids up as well..Fear of not doing what everyone else is doing...

Dude, you're talking to the wrong guy - participated at the NCAA level in two sports, one being a top-10 nationally ranked football team. Most gifted athletes can be masters in more than one sport and actually you know . . . have a choice if they want to pursue one beyond HS. If the never try, they'll never know. And if you think playing football or some other sports somehow detract from a players ability to develop as a more complete athlete, thus improving them in lacrosse, then maybe you don't quite understand both the physical and mental aspects of athletics, particularity at the higher level. I know full well what the "Jones" term means - I was sarcastically critiquing your broad-brush comment that any kid who might play lacrosse but also plays other sports is somehow guilty of that. As a parent of one son who will play travel A lax, PAL lax, and MS school lax all in the spring, along with fall and winter lax workouts, you're opinion is that somehow his playing football is lack of commitment to lacrosse and I am somehow wasting my lax fee $ because of that? You're crazy! And I'll tell that most assuredly that my MS school son and my younger son, who has all of the same sport commitments minus MS lax, will be a better lax player than many of his travel teammates purely from having played football, especially in the physical aspects of the game. Get a clue!

These are little kids you're talking about. There are plenty of kids that play multiple sports and make every travel team. At this young age some are athletically inclined and can play any and all sports. There will come a time when the child will decide all on his own what sports he wants to continue to play and what he doesn't. He may decide he doesn't want to play any sport.
What percentage of kids on the top 4-5 are hold backs? I get that some are legit and done early in life for summer birthdays. Makes sense.
Other ones I don't get. 5Th grade. Average grades. Eh hold em back !!
What is the % for the top 5 teams? Just curious thanks

Exactly.... and there is plenty of research to support this, from a mental and physiological perspective. Additionally, it's common knowledge that coaches are seeking multi-sport athletes. Could it be that single sport parents are complete headcases??? You decide..

Only idiots put their kids in football. Also Long Island is a football wasteland for the most part. Crazy how much time, effort and money is spent. Rarely produces any top players much less pro players. All bravado to make their kids "thought". lol!

Why do idiots put there kids in football ? So you can only playa HS sport if there's a chance of playing pro ? You obviously never played a HS sport . Having great memories of teamwork , friendships , coaches you'll never forget , parties , cheerleaders, school spirit. That's what it's about. Not the $5k your kid might get by playing lax only all year round . Very ignorant post .

Thanks for your opinion, mom. Do you still make him wear dresses like when he was an infant? You might want to check his pencil case, there may be some that are a little too sharp in there.

I am sorry, is that the purpose of sport? My son is on a mediocre travel team, he is a mediocre player. But he tries hard, is rewarded for that, and loves his teammates. Lessons for life.
Please, step back and look at what you write, it is ridiculously sad.

How do you make your kid "thought"? Regardless, the post was referring to kids playing multiple sports as opposed to just lax year round. Football, basketball, wrestling, etc... the research shows that different sports use muscles differently. Strengthening them, and adjacent supporting muscle more completely. As far as football goes, I've seen far more injuries in soccer than I have in football. Especially at the younger ages. From concussions to worn out knees, soccer is the hardest in young bodies... most likely because it's been a year round sport long before lax started doing it.

I don't see you posting under your name, your under anonymous.
Again, I think you have missed the point... I have not said anything disparaging so why does it matter. Besides the fact that I have identified myself as a parent with a child that used to be on Express and is now on Outlaws (not to mention my older son still plays for Express). The former comment would dwindle the number of people to 3 and the latter comment means there is only one person. Those who actually know people on both teams and are not just posting for the sake of getting a thrill will know who I am.
Your posts remind me of the prowess of "El Gato". Stop acting like a fool before your sons new team disowns you as quickly as the HB parents/coaches did.

I know of 6 kids.
First of all, who are the top 5 teams (and who cares). Second of all, like it or not, its a fact of lacrosse that it goes by grade. Go to hockey rules and these teams would be all much different.....

You know who the so called top are. They are the ones that win all the time, and if you are on this board, then you already know who they are.
In the meantime, I spoke to my son last week and discussed holding him back next year. I called it for enrichment and since he's too young to understand, he said he is ok with it. He will tryout for Wolfpack, Taz, and another top team. He'll probably be one of the shortest kids on the team and therefore no one will know that he is a year older. This board has given me the wisdom and inspiration to control his life. Thank you to all the anonymous's who have helped guide me.
So your holding your kid back in 6th grade because YOU are obsessed with lacrosse. What about his friends hes been friends with ? Messing with a kids childhood over a youth sport is crazy. How do u sleep at night ?

That investment of time, effort, and money is evaluated by what you get back from it. Clearly, you fail to see the take aways that come from that - the learnings and enjoyment that a players receives. Perhaps you should review just how small the % of all secondary school student athletes go on to play at the college level, let alone beyond that. Such context should make you realize YOUR expected returns are unrealistic, sad, and, ironically, makes your investments riskier and of lower rate of return than what you criticize! I feel sad for your children for what they will miss out on, and for their resulting increased propensity to fail to meet expectations.
Forget College...Im talking about 11 year olds and I'm talking about immediate investments. This is now not high school or college. An Athlete can play any sport and I never said that kids shouldn't play more than one. I'm talking about getting the most out of the travel Lax experience and fulfilling the commitment to the team. Your son deserves all the tools to develop not just 1/2 the practices.
Signing Johnny up to every sport and not showing up to practice or games is not the commitment we should be teaching our boys.
Football is a HUGE commitment as it should be for reasons that are obvious to some.
I guess I'm the crazy person that thinks travel lax is something special and not just another sport that kids do to pass the time.

Got it - travel lax @ 11 years old is when you should be totally "committed", but when they get older, they can diversify athletically. You go think on your (il)logic there some more . . . And I don't know about what club your son plays for, but my son's coaches purposely schedule practices so that they likely don't conflict with football. Further, it's not just just for the kids' sake that they are doing this, because the coaches are also coaching . . . wait for it . . . football!
Team practices are important. Coaches are teaching plays and having the defense communicate. Clinics should be for reinforcement and reps.

good call with your son since he cant hold his own in his own grade. Good luck to him next year and to you who will be on the 2024 thread and not here

Football= concussions, broken arms, etc. There are other sports that kids can do to help with lax. I prefer wrestling, soccer, swimming, boxing, skiing.

I've been coaching youth football for 4 - 5 years - only 1 concussion and no broken arms or legs. Personally played football for 14 years of my youth/early adulthood - no concussions, no broken arms or legs. You've bought into the fear . . .

You can't beat curling and fencing for the hand-eye benefits. You know why Canadians are such good finishers and have great stick skills? Curling. Working the broom that hard, but with a delicate touch, does more than you could imagine. Might even be best to strictly work on curling in the early years and then take up lacrosse around 13.

I've been coaching youth football for 8 years and have never seen an injury of any kind. All of the soccer kids that played year round couldn't run by 15. Don't commit your kid to a single sport. It's a terrible idea.

Signing Johnny up to every sport and not showing up to practice or games is not the commitment we should be teaching our boys.

Got it - travel lax @ 11 years old is when you should be totally "committed", but when they get older, they can diversify athletically. You go think on your (il)logic there some more . . . And I don't know about what club your son plays for, but my son's coaches purposely schedule practices so that they likely don't conflict with football. Further, it's not just just for the kids' sake that they are doing this, because the coaches are also coaching . . . wait for it . . . football!
Football= concussions, broken arms, etc. There are other sports that kids can do to help with lax. I prefer wrestling, soccer, swimming, boxing, skiing.
I've been coaching youth football for 4 - 5 years - only 1 concussion and no broken arms or legs. Personally played football for 14 years of my youth/early adulthood - no concussions, no broken arms or legs. You've bought into the fear . . .
Did you play in the lingerie league?
I've been coaching youth football for 8 years and have never seen an injury of any kind. All of the soccer kids that played year round couldn't run by 15. Don't commit your kid to a single sport. It's a terrible idea.
You are so full of crap. I love it when you say you haven't seen an injury in youth football. The prior post said it all. You must coach in the lingerie football league!
Give it a rest. I can imagine the good vibes at the dinner table when jr asks if he can go play basketball with his friends. No son, you know you can't play any other sports. Now clean your plate and go restring your stick.
My son played youth Football until last year so 10 years old. Never was injured once playing (Running Back, Safety). My wife and I decided to pull him after last season after doing some research. Then last Lax season first tournament he gets hit legit hit but smacked his head on the ground - Concussion, so you never know. With that said my son breaks my balls to play Football everyday. I told him 9th grade we will revisit the conversation. He also plays Basketball and Deck Hockey. Just my 2 cents but kids should 100% play different sports... Good luck to all in your upcoming seasons, hopefully the stupidity will end on this thread...
Basketball is a great sport that works well with Lacrosse. An athlete that plays lacrosse will want to play other sports.
All sports have a chance for injury but to try and sell me on youth Football being a safe sport is ignorant. As a parents you make the decisions to do whats best for your boy. If Football is what you think is best so be it.

People wake up. Settle down with the dreams of D1. By the time your kids are of age , the sport is all over the country now. A lot to choose from. Unless your one of the top players it's very tough. A lot of work for little $$$$ . Let them enjoy their youth. It comes fast and leaves faster.

I've already stated that I played on nationally ranked college team, so keep on with the donkey, lame comebacks as opposed to an actual substantiation of your position . . .

I have 4 boys ages 11 through 19 and have coached them in baseball, football, lacrosse and basketball. Over the 13 years, I've coached over one hundred kids. And in that time, I've seen plenty of injuries. Concussions, acl's, broken legs and arms and noses and orbital bones. Most have come from baseball, 2 concussions, a torn acl and broken arm from lax, broken nose from basketball and only one broken finger from football. My point is that all sports come with inherent rust, but to paint football with such broad strokes of danger is insane. I have a ton of experience on the topic. More than most of you. Take it for what it's worth.

You need to learn to read ALL of the words! I said 1 concussion, but no broken arms or legs. Show me where I said no injuries? And then show me any sport with no injuries, including lax!

Thanks for your perspective but I'll actually stick with the research studies by experts which support the claims that football is dangerous and has long last effects on the brain.
So when you read about cte do you think it's all made up or do you just think it's worth the risk so you can "toughen up" your kid

Interesting how you cite a preference for wrestling, yet recent NCAA studies show wrestling as the sport having the highest rate for SRCs; men's and women's hockey also were higher than football. You don't seem so well informed if you think wrestling is a better option than football as far as danger for brain injuries go . . .

I don't see you posting under your name, your under anonymous.
Again, I think you have missed the point... I have not said anything disparaging so why does it matter. Besides the fact that I have identified myself as a parent with a child that used to be on Express and is now on Outlaws (not to mention my older son still plays for Express). The former comment would dwindle the number of people to 3 and the latter comment means there is only one person. Those who actually know people on both teams and are not just posting for the sake of getting a thrill will know who I am.
Your posts remind me of the prowess of "El Gato". Stop acting like a fool before your sons new team disowns you as quickly as the HB parents/coaches did.
OMG. Classic. Gatttttto. Only guy I know whos kid get cut and follows up with a Kiss A$$ post stroking his former coach/team. The very same team that cut his kid with no fair warning only to be slapped again by a HB parent posting stating they are glad he''s gone and then follow up with another post talking about the reasons why "his" new team practices once a week, like he has first hand coaches knowledge. If I were an Outlaw parent, I'd stand far away from "EL Gatto".

I think that the risks of cte come in the latter stages of the game, i.e., professional football players who are going up against the biggest, strongest and fastest to ever play the game. All while practicing/playing 5-6 days a week for up to 6 months per year. Not when 80-100 pound boys are playing and practicing 2-3 days a week for 3 months. That's like comparing driving your car to work with a driver racing in Taledega. Apples and oranges. But you keep telling yourself that, Mom. You can't bubble wrap him his whole life.

Legacy is the only club who would take BM. Still a B team and always will be.

Ok I will bite. Whoever posted this is clearly looking to stir the pot. Doug is the head coach of that team. I doubt anyone on the team, unprovoked would come out and make this statement. Congrats you got a response. It's amazing how far adults have fallen, it's almost high school.
You're kidding yourself if you don't think that post came from the egomaniac himself. Good luck to all playing, but remember, don't put too much stock in fall tourneys.

2x a week for the last 6 weeks. What, your kid's team is not putting in the work and you're angry?
My sons team practices once a week. Twice during tournament time (real tournaments, not fall tournaments). That's plenty for me!

I couldn't believe my eyes when it happened and even more embarrassed for the express organization. So believe the lies they have told you just to get kids on the team (some for free) I hear he will ruin everything just to try to beat the bandits and now his old team.
Was he fired, or did he quit Express?

That didn't answer any question. Who are you playing to sweep. The bracket was not full yesterday because other teams were asked to play. What is full, 4 teams, 6 teams, 3 teams etc.

What teams are you sweeping. Who is playing in tournament. Word is your still looking for teams to commit and it's Wednesday. Many top teams are staying home.
The 2023 bracket is full.
That didn't answer any question. Who are you playing to sweep. The bracket was not full yesterday because other teams were asked to play. What is full, 4 teams, 6 teams, 3 teams etc.
This is one of the very few times I an laugh at someone talking to them self. You are having this conversation with an anonymous poster and you're speaking form a position of knowledge. Here are a few issues with this conversation:
1. You don't know who posted the original comment about sweeping.
2. You bit and got sucked in almost immediately.
3. Someone responded that 2023 is full and hook line and sinker you bit again.
Have you for a moment stopped to think people are messing with you?

Discussion absolutely, however if you're the original responder, you spoke with knowledge of the so why ask silly questions. You had it on good word they were looking for teams. Also I might add again that you don't know who you were confronting about the team but hey discuss away.
Thank you for helping me understand the rules anonymous poster. Maybe my information was old and I was looking for an update. I think I asked some questions in the post. Is one of your rules to move on if you don't have an answer or just enforce your views. But thanks for giving me permission and your blessing to be able to post

No, because tornados don't have any hold backs.
If you are talking about the Columbus day invitational the Tornados aren't going to beat Warriors. Express White is a joke. Match-up with the Outlaws may be ok. Warriors will take the t-shirt since these will be easy games for them.

You never know. It's the fall. Warriors have a lot of new kids. Teams take time to gel. Who''s Express Hedstrom anyway?

Did you see Whites team play last year? 95% of the game is played knocking at their goal. There Goalie did what hid could but was a sitting duck most of the time. Not a chance they beat the Warriors. As for He'd stromal, it Looks like MC had enough kids for an extra cash cow this year!

Match up with Outlaws will be a great idea. They will have a great team this season.
Channy better be on the look out Monday, I hear the suffolk county police are really looking to catch one of those CLOWNS.
Tornados should win this easily. They are massively improved. You'll see.
Which team is Express Hedstrom? Is that the b team called Chaney last year?

They have been know to stack the roster with kids from other travel clubs, so it's possible. But then again, who gives a crap. The season starts in June. Until then it's all just practices and scrimmages.

Nope. Just a proud, optimistic parent. I've been to practice, you haven't. They are not the team they were last year. Mark my words, they are going to shock people! I'm not saying we'll beat the Bandits, but we'll give them and everyone else a game.
Looks like you guys can't wait to take that nice new shiny sports car for a ride in the fall. Would stink if you guys crashed it in your own fall tournament. No need to talk how good these boys are. Just let them go play and see what happens. No scholarships this Monday just a t-shirt.

Believe me, I'm not worried about crashing. None of the teams there will give us much of a fight.

If they do win and this post is true, I hope they're very proud. Maybe Express should have them play on White.

So your calling 6th grade boys "chumps" ? You are an adult and calling children chumps ?? If I found out who you are I would follow u in the parking lot and treat you like a chump.
Lol they just change the games in Monday. Tornados not
Playing warriors anymore and they moved the outlaws game to last. God forbid you lost the first game against outlaws then lose to warriors and start 0-2. Tornados now playing express b and c team in first two games then outlaws. If you improved so much why duck the teams. Play outlaws south shore and warriors. Weak, very weak.

They were never playing the Warriors. The teams they are playing never changed, just the ordering. They obvious want to see a Tornados vs Warrior final. Every club does the same thing by trying to position 2 best team in the finals.

You really are a moron. You're a [lacrosse] stirrer. Let me try and explain how every tournament does the seeding
6 total teams, 4 good teams and 2 not so good teams in 2 brackets, 2 good teams and1 not so good team in each division. Outlaws Select Is their top team and Tornados are their top team, so they are in the same bracket. Warriors are not their top team and SST is similiar so they are in the same bracket. Never wouod a tournament seed all 4 teams in the same bracket. The teams are properly placed. Could you argue that any one of the 4 be swapped, sure but it really doesn't matter. If you are a top 4 team, you need to beat another top 4 to make it to the finals. Stop causing trouble.

They will again this tournament. You wait and see. It's getting harder for people not to notice any longer. Lacrosse world gets smaller at this age.

There is only one bracket. So this entire response is nonsense. What makes tornados a top team. That's why you play and make your games easy.
Doesn't matter anyway. Tornados are now a top 3 team. You'll be very surprised tomorrow.
Tornado's will win because BM is the coach.

Someone just trying to stir it up. The coaches worked great together the other day during our scrimmage. I didn't see any ego's having to take control or head coach the team. I think we are going to have great season with the 3 coaches we have regardless of the outcome on Monday.

This is neither a Tornado Parent or Coach posting this. I''m a Parent and the Truth is, we are better than last year. How much better? Who knows and who cares. All we want as Parents is for our kids to play hard and try their best and by the looks of it, our coaches having them doing that.
Tornados still a B team playing B teams. They can't play on the same field as A teams. They will not be within 10 goals of Bandits, Igloo or HB's when they play.
I'll bite. Who did u scrimmage

I love when a HB parent puts them at the same level as the Bandits. You never ever got close. Stop making yourselves better than you really are, a B + team.

Duke, lost by a goal.
A 4-3 loss this past summer is pretty close.
My kids isn't even playing in today's tournament and I am curious to see the outcomes based on all the $hit talk! Hope tourney gets updated through the end. Good luck to all the boys playing today. Parents remember it is 6th grade fall ball. Relax!

That game was insanely lopsided. It was like one team was playing 2 men up. I'm not sure the Tornados team is ready for prime time.

You realize you are ridiculing children, right? So many of you on here are ridiculous and nothing more than common bullies. It's easy to express your ludicrous opinions and make your snide remarks from behind the protection of your computer screen and anonymity. It's sad that so many of you feel the need to put down these teams and the kids that play on them. Not all kids are good enough, or even want, to play on a top A team. Does that mean they shouldn't play? Why can't we let the kids play and keep the nasty, snide comments to ourselves? Is it really that hard to do?

You're right, mom; however, I think much of this is a response to a Tornado parent/coach saying that they would not be challenged by any of the teams today.

I get it. Your frustration should be with MC. The White team is a money grab. He held a tryout and took everyone. No skill evaluation needed. I feel bad for those kids. Can't be fun to get blown out every game. I feel bad for that goalie. Can't be good for his confidence. I get not everyone is good enought to be on a B or A team. U til they make a C bracket then they should have C teams. Or mix up the talent so they at least have a few kids who can score. What is even worse is a few of the parents on that White team. That one guy screams like a nut. If he doesn't have more than 1 kid on the team then he is yelling like that at other people's kids. I wouldn't pay $2800 to have my kid get pummeled every game. Did they cut scoring off at 11 today. Seems odd all the teams scored 11 against them.
You shouldn't feel bad for that goalie... he did a great job and his confidence shouldn't be down! He had some amazing saves and the score could have been a lot worse. A lot of kids playing for the first time together.
There were cuts from the tryouts, some kids that didn't make the express white team or other express team playing on other teams... so how is it a money grab if they were cut?
As far as yelling parents, tune them out if you dont like it...and why do you care so much if your not on that team??!

Shove it lady.
No problem with Express B coaching or how the boys played, however carrying 28 is just too many...
Let's stop the negativity and talk about that warrior team. They have some new players and together with a solid core from last year may be able to play with the elite LI teams.

Hate to burst your bubble but 95% of the team were returns from last year. The score could have been worse??? Losing by 11 is ridiculous and I know they were told to stop scoring. It isn't the goalies fault. He just bears the brunt of it. Hard for a goalie to feel positive about losses like that. My older son is a goalie and he puts a lot of blame for losses on himself. As for why I care about disgusting screaming parents....It is unnecessary. I wouldn't let him yell at my kid like that. As a parent from one of the opposing teams I wanted to tell the guy to shut up.

I get it. You are on the team. I am sincerely glad you are optimistic. And I like the other comments about kids of all skill levels playing. Everyone should have an opportunity. But obviously you are not a goalie. Not easy taking a beating all 3 games. Seems based on this tourney and what last year looked like it's gonna be another long year. And that's hard on everyone. Most on the goalie.

How did south shore do in the tournament?
You have a lot of insider information, don't you...
How do you know that 95% are from last year, and that they stop keeping score?
If it bothers you so much about the screaming, why not say something in person instead of posting it here? Next time you see him, go up to him in person and tell him to shut up!!
I'm sure you will meet up with him again

Lost to Warriors 8-3, beat Outlaws Select and Express Hedstrom 9-2 and 8-2 respectively. Probably would have beaten Tornados and Express White, but that's just speculation based on the outcomes against common teams.
BTW, heavy dose of Igloo, TB and HB on that team.

I know someone with a kid on the team that played last year as well. The kids that left did so because they were tired of the BS. It is unfortunate because our friends really like Coach White. He just wasn't given much to work with. You seem to know exactly who I am talking about. If he spoke to my kid that way I absolutely would say something to him. The other parents on the team should be horrified to have him there. I feel bad for his kid. If he screams like that in public, I can only imagine what he is like at home. If you are a White parent and think the team is solid and you and your kid are happy, than ignore all the comments. Tune it out like you told me to do with that ridiculous dad on your team! Seems that all these posted struck a nerve.

Seems early to be drinking the koolaid. Maybe they know somehow. Obviously the screamer is back. Not sure why other people let him yell at their kids. And you know typically people just tolerate it or try to move away from people like that. Based on the fact you are essentially defending it, its you or his buddy.
Wow...1st fall tournament new players on new teams. Best teams not even there. Some think they have it all figured out. Every year you hear about the screaming parent on the sideline nothing new. It will never change so don't try. The solo cups have not even been broken out yet. The only thing you need to ask yourself is did my kid have a good time. Did he enjoy plaing regardless of team he is on. Stop worrying where someone else is spending their money.

Don't bother. Tornados are warmed up. They'll sweep. Lol!
I watched the Tornado vs Express Headstrom game. Just as example, Someone please explain to me why would a parent want their kid.on a team (Express Headstrom) that carries 29 kids? First off, it's a B team at best. A few of those kids I saw were plenty good enough and would play twice/ theee times as much if they were on the Tornados. Tornados looked like they carried a light roster of about 18 kids so why would you not want your kid on that team??? It''s insane to me.

I wouldn't want my son on Tornados because BM is the coach. I don't want my son exposed any longer to his antics and behavior.
If you saw the Final against Warriors and his crazy behavior you would understand why you should want nothing to do with Tornados

You miss the point. The Tornados was just an example only because I watched the game. The point still remains, why would you have a kid on a 29 man roster at 11 yrs old? The goal is to have him play as much as he can.

I actually watched the game. Warriors blew them out and I''m not a fan of his but didn't see him do anything bad at all. He questioned the ref once on a goal when a kid was hurt but honestly, it was not a big deal. He was pretty quiet most of the game.

Agreed. It didn't take long for him to show his true craziness. Screaming at the refs like a complete psycho while a kid from the other team was writhing in pain on the ground. That's what you're getting Tornados. Have fun with that.

Even with a very small roster some kids played barely played. Run from that team if you can.

The most amazing part of this site is watching grown men speak up to a so called bully after years and when he's not in their face. My son is on the team and while I keep an eye out for anything I don't like form BM, I can't understand why grown men would allow themselves to be bullied for years and never man up and say something. Also you guys are quick to say what a bad person he is (maybe he is) but what does that say about you as parents that you would pay to or subject your kid to someone screaming at the and behaving badly as you guys say. I know that no matter how good the team is I will never stay if i don't like the atmosphere or the way my kid is being treated.
This site makes everyone a man. It's great to see you guys have finally found your backbone now that you don't have to deal with him.
I also thought all of the kids played. Yes some more than others but, I believe there are some teams that express team for instance where some players barley see the field.
Well Mr. Hawk eye tough guy, BM showed his true colors when he went after two parents after express/AJ tried to give him a second chance. And those parents stood right in his face and didn't let that piece of [lacrosse] bully them. He is a garbage and you will soon see. He doesn't treat the kids bad does stuff behind people's back, so take your big guy attitude somewhere else. If you only knew what he has done.

The tone of your post and sarcastic arrogant attitude repondong to a simply logic response shows your true colors. Perhaps you were/are the problem and nothing bit a [lacrosse] stirrer.

The more and more I read these posts, the more I now understand that it''s got to be a few parents out to get this guy. I was at the Tornado vs Warrior game because of the hype and I didn't see him act bad in any way. There was one moment when he questioned the ref on a quick whistle when a Warrior kid was hurt. Was he wrong? yes but the guy did not go "crazy" on the ref. These posts about him seem to be very very exaggerated.

Saaaaaaame angry parent over and over again. Find another hobby. The story is getting old.
Seems like alot of damage control...
Yes too many kids on express B. Coach is real good. Lucky for MC he is otherwise this team would have ayEzeYEXyEzEUD mass exodus.Alot of good players on the team. If they get the roster under control and can use the better players more they will compete . If not going to be hard to keep the better kids. There are 2 kids I know for a fact that ate already being asked to play for another team.

Any coach is good when you put half of Long Island on your team.

Why such a surprise? Exact same thing last year. They moved a couple to white, a couple to the equation 2022 b team. Don't you remember Columbus tourney last year they split the team into 2. Guessentially it was gonna be too much $ out of channy's pocket this year to do it again.
SST is a town team program and did well. They do have players who are on other travel teams that participate when they are able. I think this is a good way to keep your stick in your hand and pay as you go. 11/12 years old is 11/12 years old. Kudos for them.

Plus they brought in a STELLAR Dad coach. He's great. I asked him and he told me---GREAT. This awesome Dad recruited kids from another team to this debacle. Its a B team. These kids will always be seen as B players in the eyes of MC. There may be kids that are better than kids on AJ's team, but they will still be B players on LIE. And, if they find a shiny new toy on another team, then you'll be out. GOOD TIMES.

So it's ok for them to invite different players each tournament to try and win. But god forbid a club teams does that and everyone screams.

Words are important and reading is fundamental. They are a pick up team with maybe a core set but they only play when the kids are not playing for their main travel team so you won't see them at every tournament.
Now read slowly so you can understand. They don't make you commit after the first tryout and pay essentially locking you in. They don't bump anyone from the team to bring in a super star just to win that tournament.
No kid on the team but figured you did not read the words carefully.

They are very similar to Longboards in 2024 and some of the Mamas Boys teams. There is nothing wrong with boys playing on more than one team, they just cant jump from team to team during a single tournament. Since he said that they only enter tournaments that the boys on other teams aren't playing in, then all is good. People will continue to complain, of course, but that doesn't mater. Besides, they're not really stealing T-shirts, just going out and playing some competitive lacrosse.
SST is made up of Wantagh, Bellmore and Merrick kids. They are all friends and most play on different travel teams. They are doing nothing wrong or sneaky. Its been the same kids for the last at least 2 years that I know.

Why are you people even defending yourselves? You can do whatever you want and you don't have to answer to anyone. In general people have to much to say about what others are doing. Ignore the nonsense that other people post.
Sounds like you have more of an issue with the "dad coach" then the bloated roster. My son played on this team last year and is on the team again this year, and you are right there are some players that might be better then some on the top team. You are also right that this is the second Express team at this age group. What I can tell you is that there is a noticeable difference in this team since the addition of the dad coach you speak of. My son is much more excited to go to practice, and he feels that he is learning more then ever before. Even though they lost all three of their games this past weekend, they were very competitive against 91 and Legacy. Last year they would have done much worse. As far as him recruiting players to this team, that is not true. I have spoken to many of the fathers of the boys that came over from the organization where this dad and his son used to be, and they tried out for multiple teams, but chose to come to the Express because of the positive experience they had with this coach in the past. I guess a lot of these boys play together in the off seasons, and that had a part to play on where they landed. Remember they are still eleven year old kids, that like to play and hang out with their buddies. Hopefully they will trim back the roster, but I think these coaches will get the most out of these boys, make them a high level B or even an A team, and if their having fun, as a parent it will have been time and money well spent.
Good luck to the boys playing this weekend. Should be a great couple of days!

My son is much more excited to go to practice, and he feels that he is learning more then ever before. Even though they lost all three of their games this past weekend, they were very competitive against 91 and Legacy. Last year they would have done much worse. As far as him recruiting players to this team, that is not true. I have spoken to many of the fathers of the boys that came over from the organization where this dad and his son used to be, and they tried out for multiple teams, but chose to come to the Express because of the positive experience they had with this coach in the past.

So it's ok for them to invite different players each tournament to try and win. But god forbid a club teams does that and everyone screams.
Words are important and reading is fundamental. They are a pick up team with maybe a core set but they only play when the kids are not playing for their main travel team so you won't see them at every tournament.
Now read slowly so you can understand. They don't make you commit after the first tryout and pay essentially locking you in. They don't bump anyone from the team to bring in a super star just to win that tournament.
No kid on the team but figured you did not read the words carefully.
They never hold tryouts, the core of the team is the coach's kids and their friends. They invite players as they go along, and they do bump players when they have too many for a particular tournament.
Sounds like Shore 2 Shore.

Halloween Havoc. Express B won the B division. Express White lost all their games. The other teams in the bracket I am not very familiar with and they weren't very good. Warriors and Wolfpack tied for the Championship in the A division. Warriors need to step it up. Tying with a 2024 team isn't good.

Lol...they didn't actually play the final, just declared it a 1-1 tie and went home.

This is so dumb on so many levels. First, Bandits havent played any 2023 teams yet but lost to a 2022 town team twice. Wolfpack is a very good 2024 team, but get them out because you're ranking 2023's so they don't belong. Igloo hasn't played yet. Express hasn't played yet. S2S hasn't played yet. Empire hasn't played yet. The only teams on your stupid list that have even played each other are Warriors, Tornados and South Shore Thunder. Even after Blatant, rankings won't matter because it's fall. Teams like the Bandits have only practiced 4 times. Give it till summer and see how they rank after the spring tourneys.

They didn't tie you dope, they didn't play. Co-winners.
Bandits have NOT played so when exactly did they lose to a town team ?!?
Bandits haven't played any games they are practicing now thats it. So this is false . This is a warrior parent very excited that they have won a few C tournaments and think they can beat everyone now.

I may be a Warrior parent, but next year I will be a Bandit parent of a player who took your sons spot.
Pathetic that 91 dictates Co-Champs. Two teams enter to compete, they should br prepared to win/lose. What lessons are you teaching?
Warriors would mangle their younger step brothers

Coming from a 2023 team outside of this orgabization, I think it's a great lesson. One that is unfortunatly above your understanding of fairness and competition.

Not even close. Warrior parents know where they stand among all of this nonsense. I promise you that no Warrior parent is posting this garbage.

What a joke. Fairness and good sportsmanship are two qualities that many would not characterize with 91. Ask almost any team, player, coach, parent, from the northeast region who has competed against a 91 team in recent years.
The Mass exodus from Express has begun, Dads clocking their child's playing time because of 28 kids on the roster causing big problems.

Whatever that plan was, it was a plan for failure.
It's not PAL. The stronger kids on Express play a lot more. A bit early to worry though. The bottom of the roster will play less at Express and everywhere else. Don't fool yourself into thinking it's different at Express. The extra 4-5 kids doesn't change the dynamic that much. Stronger kids play more. Period. If you want equal playing time stick with PAL. You are paying for instruction. Enjoy the practices and worry about playing time in the Spring.

That all good and dandy. But 28 kids is way too many. At 23 some kids don't play to much and that is expected on travel clubs. The five extra are just to line their pockets with no intention to play them. That's what's wrong with this picture. Did they tell parents they were taking 28 and a bunch of kids won't ever see the field. Probably not because they would never have accepted.

Total BS. The kids that play here are the favored ones. Leave and you will see. Your kid was good enough to make the team in the first place--RIGHT? So, why isn't he good enough to get playing time? The Dad coaches kids play a ton. Last year, certain kids never left the field. I know. My kid was one of them. The team would be losing 7 8 9 to zero and some kids would be left on the bench. It kills your kids confidence. Horrible for them in general.
If you feel like your kid is getting the raw end of the deal on this team, either suck it up and stay, or go elsewhere. There are now plenty of other options out there. Express A teams are all really good and get a ton of support from the organization. But, everyone else--not so much.
Btw, all clubs are like this. Maybe, Team Novanta Uno has decent 2nd teams that get good support etc. But, at every place else, the 2nd team is the 2nd team. FACT.
It's a bad situation and a Dad coach makes it hard to manage. The parents of the new group of boys are not making this teams problems any better. Benching an 11 YO but taking his parents money is no way to run an organization.

I think the statement of an extra 4-5 kids is pretty accurate; however, when that equates to a 20%-25% increase in roster size, it seems kind of extreme. My son played Express Hedstrom at Columbus Day. I thought they were a very competitive team. They were in every game. But there just doesn't seem to be enough time to go around. Considerering starters will eat more minutes than non-starters, some of those kids are really going to suffer on the bench. 2 shifts at attack and defense, 2 goalies and 3 middie lines still leaves too many kids hanging. You just don't need that many kids. It's a poor business model that can't possibly equate to more income long term.
Last years bait was telling the children "If anybody asks who you play for tell them the other Express A team" That speaks Volumes...
2023 Express B has 28 players because nobody wants to go down to the Express C team.
This happened last year, and will happen again. Some boys went down on their own per request or were moved to the 2022 B team.
Now the 2022 A team had the same problem also. Too many parents connected to organization demanded their boys remain on that team, just to say they were on 2022 A, and had about 28 boys also.
A good number of the boys on the Express 2022 B were actually 2023.

The bottom 5-6 kids will be jettisoned to the C team at the end of fall. There will be 4-5 topurnaments for those kids to show what they can do. If they don't show enough, they will be moved. Come spring the roster will be shorter and everyone will get playing time. It's fall. Relax

MC doesn't know squat about how to run a business. He's all about the quick buck. That''s why 91 took a good amount of market share away with regards to quailty players. Express is a bottom feeding organization. It makes money because the consumer is still very naive about Lacrosse but soon enough the consumer becomes savvy enough to realize and the solid clubs will swallow them up .........no longevity in that model.
Only 5 were 2023
Express B will still have 28 on the roster, for Spring/Summer 2017, just like last year.
Does it really matter?
Why would you want to stay on a team with 28 kids and not play? Would it not be better to move down and play then be a bench warmer for the "B" team?
I wouldn't let my kid sit there and warm the bench

Even with the 5-6 the may move down, the C team will continue to lose 95% of its games. People are insane to give MC a dime!
Nice job by Blantant putting teams together so that the games are competitive! I feel bad for 3V, though. Tough draw for them.
Too many kids too many parent problems
Blatent put together a nice field, should be some good games this weekend.
Why leave after one tournament? Did your son not play a lot? Work hard and earn more playing time. But if you are raising a kid who wants to give up at first sign of adversity, then maybe the 2023 Yellow Jackets would be worth a look for you.
then why not make 2 "B" teams instead of a "B" team with 28 kids and "C" team that you say will lose 95% of the games?
Because then you would have 3 C teams. Dope!!!!
How does your wife or mother feel about that absurd comment? Clearly you don't have a daughter. I have no doubt there are more than a handful of 2023 girls who can run circles around your son. I've read a lot of ignorant and ridiculous comments on this site but yours takes the cake. Congratulations!
Does the Fall really mean anything?
Igloo playing S2S and Express A. Should be some good games. I don't know how much better S2S got, but this was a good tourney for them last year. I know Igloo and Express got better.

S2S did not get better. They took 2 more of the coaches friends - 5th graders no less. Team is turning into a joke...

That response is dumb. If it didn't mean anything to you, your son wouldn't be playing and you sure as [lacrosse] wouldn't be trolling a youth travel lacrosse board.
Fall tournaments really have no way of reflecting summer stregnth. They are a way for teams to get in some practices and play in some games to get the team to gel. Most coaches have several new kids on the team and lost a few too. They will need to see how the new kids fit in. To think that one team is better than another because they beat them in a fall tournament is a little silly. For example, last year at Blatant, Igloo and HB looked very weak. Obviously, that was not a true reflection of their teams because both went on to have fantastic summer seasons. Additionally, many players don't even play fall ball so it's impossible to get a true sense of how strong a team will be. Spring tourneys give you a better look at what to expect in summer. Fall is just basically scrimmages.

It will be tough for them to remain competitive in the future. Those boys will end up at Igloo or Express within 2 years. It's a shame, too. They did what a lot of people wish they could do; however, they are turning into daddy-controlled lacrosse.
Slow down. Don't get your panties in a bunch. What got you so riled up? Why you gotta bring his momma into this? Did you have a bad softball tournament? If there's a 6th grade girl who can play with the boys great. But you know it's a totally different sport, right?

MC only cares aboutique his A team. He sorta cared when his son was "coaching" the B team. The C team is a straight money maker. Now his B and Connor team are money makers. B will win and lose but alot of the kids won't play. C will continue to lose. Maybe win a game here or there. Those kids will feel defeated over and iver.
How many 2023 teams do the Outlaws have? How do they rank? I see Outlaws Gold is playing in the tournament this weekend.
2 teams at each age group
Gold is Outlaws C team. Select is their B team. They lost all their A players to Igloo and Expresss. They no longer have an A team at this age group.
How does Express B look?

Outlaws Select (A) is playing in A division
So Igloo and Express got worse?
I was with my younger guy last weekend at Havoc and saw Express B play some games. They went 4-0 and beat everyone by at least 10 goals, but they were beating the likes of fl$ so who can say. They seemed to be in the wrong bracket
I hope I can get over to see the family feud. What time does For the Love of Manhasset play the gnome and his pets?

People on here like to bash them because of the roster number, but they're a good team. They're definitely the top of the second tier. Put them with Outlaws, Tornados and Empire.

Last year, they were the B team but played in the A bracket this year they are the B team and were playing in the B bracket at Havoc. Maybe they should play in the A bracket like last year for a challenge if they are winning by 10 goals.. just a thought people, don't get crazy!
The 5 th graders that were playing with 2022's.., don't believe they went to the express B team.. Saw 3 of them playing for a different travel team together and 1 on another express team .., don't know where the 5th kid is... unless he's the kid on the b team.. How many are you saying are playing?

Not sure where you heard that but White only has one express team. Get your facts straight before you say it's bad for the organization and are you part of express? Then if not, why do you care?

Just a silly statement. All the trouble makers left the team. I hear they are causing grief over at express and no one likes them. Only lost 8 players and all were replace with better players and parents.

I get that you are a White parent, but the team is bad. The coach is a nice guy but they didn't even out the talent from the tryout. Blame MC.
I know Igloo having tough time getting kids to gel. S2S
And Express a good barometer Saturday
let's see the bald daddy's deal with first outing

Yes I agree, speak volumes about club. Addition by subtraction. It is not 12 players, did lose a lot of kids but not players.. every position got bigger, stronger and faster. Even the sidelines got better. Change was needed for sometime.
not a white parent, just saying that express white only has 1 team.. it said "white b and c team".

When are Bandits going to emerge from their secret Siberian training camp and whip them some 2023s? Or are they hiding in 2022 B divisions so they can "play up"?
Who are going to be the top 4 this weekend at Blatent?

I guess if you consider players that didn't make or got cut from their team and settle for a new team an addition, then good luck have a great season. I can understand a 4 or 5 player turnaround but that many players... not interested

Expecting some surprises this weekend. Should be good games.
I heard they're up to 30 players on the roster at Express B

30 kids...that's nuts! Looks like some kids will never see the field..
don't know why you would want your kid to play on that team. why not move them to the other express team and let them play?
You pay all that money and put in all that time just to sit there and watch the games? or is it just to say your kid is on the B team? I'd rather have my kid on a C team and play then sit and watch the other kids play. Just my opinion.

If you don't have a kid on that team then WHO CARES!!!! They can have 100 kids and MC can charge $1,000,000 dollars each. If that is the choice the parents have made then it has 0 to do with you.
Many on the board should spend less time worrying about how much money the programs make and just worry about your own son

The 5th 2023 kid from Express 2022 B went to a different travel team.
You mean Saturday!! LOL
Coming from a parent on Outlaws Gold, the current team looked better at the first practice a few weeks ago than the team's last summer practice. Upgraded all positions.

Sachem and no way they will compete with the Travel Squads... They would be good in a Town only Town Tournament...

It's football season and JS coaches that and is also busy with SB recruiting. They know fall is meaningless. Plus, they lost one of their best players to a football injury. The season starts in June.

Is this actually the 2023 PAL team or is it that team plus helpers? They were a very good team in PAL. My sons team played them. After 3V, they were probably #2. With that being said, the PAL team won't beat any travel teams so if they happen to win a game they should call themselves something other than SYAG, because that would just be more lies.

More like Outlaws trying to get themselves into playoffs
Three Village and SYAG are good Suffolk PAL teams.
Quite a few Nassau PAL teams would give them both a run, and have.

You don't have a clue. Do you know that in order to play on the 3V A team you can not play for a travel team? That A team is the team you play in PAL and it's the same one you'll play on Saturday. That's how they build a successful varsity program. Sachem? Not so much. That team on Saturday will lol nothing like the team that played PAL last year or in 2017. Not hating on them because they entered a travel tournament and not a town tournament. They can do what they want with whoever they want. But don't go in under a town name. That's cheesy.

Mr.Anonymous the ax grinder, keep it up. Any S2S comment and you are all over it....nice reactions.
Its the fall. Relax. Maybe focus on something else for a bit?
Not saying S2S is a bad team, they're not. But I think Badgers and Igloo got better and I'm not sure you did.
No matter the result, they will be good games vs Express & Igloo, which is a lot more than any organization on the Island not named ninedeeone can say.
Coaches are great, families are great, lot of talent on the field. Maybe they're not the top org at this age but they're in the top 10 in the country and that's pretty good. We can travel to any tournament and compete with the best - look at the record from last year and they're only getting better.
Tons of respect for Igloo and Express. We have quite a few boys who played on both of those teams.
Sorry your son got cut.

You just said S2S is top 10 in the country???? Based on all of those teams you've played nationally? You guys have never even been to Maryland. Get off the pipe, guy.

S2S is bragging about getting DELETED That's awesome!
Your calling children "scraps" and "trash"? What a despicable human you are. You're suppose to be a "grown up.l"
This under or over medication butthead is one person making all of these nasty remarks about kids.
Sadly, he/she is raising children and I feel very sorry for the children. It needs to stop.

SYAG is Sachem Youth Athletic Group, correct? SYAG is Sachem kids, correct? To enter a tournament under the SYAG name implies that the team is comprised of Sachem kids. I think we all know that this is far from the case. Good luck, nonetheless. I hope the boys have fun.
Thankyou Larry. Unfortunately you're correct. That parent or any parents that can put other teams or children down the way they do, without giving it a second thought, or feeling any remorse at all have no conscience or social skills. Is this how you speak to or treat your own children? Is this how you like being spoken to or about? I feel sorry for you and your family. Must be a miserable life. I agree that people who want to post anything should have to register. It's makes it too easy for the jerks to hide. Good luck this weekend to all of the boys. They ALL work really hard.

Sadly, this is what they are teaching their children. Miserable human beings.
Please let me know if things get posted that shouldn't.
Um, I have a clue, Mr. Blue.
I was just pointing out that there are other 'A' 2023 PAL tournament teams in Nassau County.
Three Village and SYAG played them last year in tournament play. They have try outs too.
Three Village has a great youth lacrosse club.
A sincere good luck to Three Village & SYAG!

Well, now u know that SYAG has 2 divisions. PAL town and travel.
Those kids are having fun, and playing as much lax as SYAG can provide. Everyone is open to interpret SYAG anyway they want. I believe the SYAG people just want to play and compete at their highest level politics aside.
Good luck to everyone playing in the Blatant Fall Jam tomorrow.

Then leave the non-SYAG kids home if you want to avoid the politics.
The great equalizer is here or soon will be.

So, are you saying it doesn't count that S2S beat Express? I'm pretty sure the game is supposed to go until the final whistle. Plus, if Express is so much better, why didn't they win the braveheart?
Stop already. We get it, you hate S2S.

The 3 best teams in the grade (besides the Bandits - they are #1) played each other today. It was a draw. Good lacrosse all around - the way it should be...
Express smoked igloo in the regular game but IGLOO destroyed express 12-1 in the championship
Badgers just got crushed 11-2 in the finals. Ouch.
With a bunch of new players on the Outlaws, the team did pretty good.

Your right it doesn't matter You have no life and must be a loser to correct the score if a blowout. You have to be kidding me.
Good job by Blatant with schedule in A bracket. Matchups were good games for the most part. Syag looked good. Igloo looked good and I know its only the fall but they made a statement today. Express A took a hit. Not sure how they are going to compete with the big boys this spring/summer.Some of the lower A bracket teams looked good as well. 2way select was better then their record today.Express B looked much improved over last year. Outlaws looked good for all their new kids. Was a good day despite the weather. Good job by all the 11yr old boys today.

Igloo's kid leaves to go to the Express only to get smoked in the finals
12-1. That is too funny. Karma at its best. Not impressed with Express at all. They took a huge step backward this year. Goes to show you when you build a team from coach's best friends kids. Sad.

Torrential rain and 30MPH winds --- fields were a muddy mess--- all the boys played extremely well considering the conditions they were dealt. They were wet/cold and true lax players for roughing through it. Congrats to all the teams.

Well let's see:
SYAG lost to Igloo by 6 goals but Express lost to Igloo by 11 goals. Seems to me that SYAG would have killed Express. Tornados lost to SYAG by 1 goal. So looks like the final 4 was probably accuarate. All very equal teams.

Express beating Igloo earlier was obviously a fluke since they lost to S2S and got killed by igloo in the finals.

Says the frustrated Express parent. Losing 2 games in a tournament is not something those boys are use to. Team is not that good.
and igloo beating express was obviously a fluke-- igloo doesnt have the legs that express does-- mud didnt help
12-1 is no fluke

Here come the excuses. They all played on the same fields, same conditions. Nice try. Can't anyone ever say "Great job"? You win some and you lose some. Another life lesson.

Outlaws looked good for all their new kids. Was a good day despite the weather. Good job by all the 11yr old boys today.
Agreed. Good job by all of the 11 yr old boys (and all of the 12 and almost 13 year old boys too)
You can't be serious . Tornados are no where as good as Shore to Shore. What a joke.

Here come the excuses. They all played on the same fields, same conditions. Nice try. Can't anyone ever say "Great job"? You win some and you lose some. Another life lesson.
Unfortunately that sentiment is close to non existent. The "My kid's team is great and I need to constantly state that they are better than your's" epidemic is the norm. It's impossible for these grown ups who are living vicariously through their kids to get that teaching them how to lose with class is what well adjusted people do.
When is MC going to step in and replace AJ? The team is now in free fall. One full season without BM and it now really is showing.

Oh boy. The magic Kingdom is in disarray. Implosion is next.

Stop trying to stir it up. I've talked to BM and he never says anything bad about his former team. He speaks very highly about the talent the Express team has. He likes the new challenge he has with the tornados. Let it be already.

Igloo
Haha! SYAG! Not exactly a tough schedule, fella.
Well let's see:
SYAG lost to Igloo by 6 goals but Express lost to Igloo by 11 goals. Seems to me that SYAG would have killed Express. Tornados lost to SYAG by 1 goal. So looks like the final 4 was probably accuarate. All very equal teams.
Did you just sat SYAG was equal to Igloo and Express? Tornados, maybe. But s2S , Igloo and Express are not equal to SYAG. That's a ridiculous statement. You should be banned from the sport for even thinking that.
Syag played nobody till igloo, then they got smoked. Stick to town ball
BM knows the Express would be better if he were running the team. The Tornados will catch the Badgers later this season. I saw him recruiting today between games. He never stops working.
It's fall lacrosse, take it easy. Same stuff was said last fall and Express had a great Fall & Spring season. Team is in good shape & will be fine , but thanks for your concern.

Not sure if Tornados will catch Express but no way would BM ever let that Express team lose 2 games in a single tournament. The team looks flat. No sense of excitement or urgency. That's when you know the head coach has to go.
You have to question someone who thinks comparing scores can predict who would win in a future game or who is better from a group of teams. Under that logic the team who wins the first game against a team will always beat that team they just beat and all the teams the losing team beats. So much goes into each individual game. Scores and final out comes can be altered by simple things like a hot goalie of how tight a ref calls a game. Also some teams when they take a lead may back off while another team does not. There may be a favorable match up that may not be there when the other team plays. The list goes on and on why score comparing gives you no indication of how teams will do against each other in the future.
The 4 best team made it to the semi finals.
SYAG
Express
Tornados
Igloo

WHAT? is that (a-b) x (c-d) / r x 3.124 = winner

Says one of the Express directors minimizing the damage. Honestly, they did not have a good fall ( loss all 3 at columbus day tournament and to an average S2S at Blatant). And they lost quite a few games in the spring. Got spanked by Bandits and followed up with a loss to Bethesda in one tournament. The team looks worse this year.

You're confusing Express teams my friend. Express A played its first fall tournament together today. It was Express B at the Columbus Day tourney.

Free falling with better talent. Not a good situation over at Express.

Try reading. The original post referred to LAST FALL8HBsrn. Express A lost all 3 games in last years Columbus Day tournament.
When the team plays laid back it is a reflection of the coach. BM kept the team on edge.

He/she is talking about last fall. What they're not remembering is that Express A played up at Columbus Last year. They lost to S2S in the fall, yes. But fall doesn't matter. It's a summer season. Also losing to the Bandits and Bethesda (the two of the best in the country last year) is not exactly a sign of decline.
Great tournament and all the teams played well considering weather. My son really enjoyed himself and at 11 that's what it is all about.

Oh, I guess your team lost then. Fall ball. New players. Went 2-1. Not 0-3. Granted, they didn't play the so called "top teams". But more importantly it's FALL BALL. Who cares?

I feel bad for that team. They only returned 4 players from last year because most of the team left. They struggled on offense last year and from the looks of things they didn't do much to improve the offense.

Why cant anyone make a comment about a team without someone else making a negative critical remark? The original poster did not make any negative remarks about any other team. Grow the [lacrosse] up
Saturday's tournament, if you look at the final bracket, proves there are 6 legitimate teams on Long Island. Teams that lost went on to beat the team they lost to which only makes for a more competitive landscape. There are probably a few more decent teams. Instead of arguing about who is the best, one of the club coordinators should organize a league in the spring for this age group. Something like OBLL but, at least with this age, there will be some consistency in the games. Sure, Igloo, S2S or Express may win most of the games but as many of you have stated, Legacy is up and coming and some of the town teams are legit. Outlaws looked pretty good and, for the benefit of the guy that said there are only 4 returning players, can get better once the team gels.

Their second team is a disaster. looked like they got a new coach.
Where do u get 4 players returned to outlaws.its around 11/12. Some probably not wanted back - coaches are practicing 2 times a week . Team will only get better

Would never put kids down. I said i feel bad for the team. I was talking about the 2nd team or Gold team. I am a adult so unlike you I don't call people names over the computer.
I stand by my claim that the Gold team does not look good. Not because the kids are not trying, they just don't have the players to compete.
That would be a dream. Spring league. No reason to travel. Love it.
I think you are full of it... nobody has been talking about the B bracket in the recent chats. The person that said they thought the Outlaws looked good had to be talking about the Select team. If you are a parent that saw them play then you should have been on one of the apposing teams. If so, you would not have made that comment because they lost one game by a goal. If your son didn't play them then you weren't watching your own kid because all the teams play at the same time.

My son was on the team last year and left because the practices were worse than PAL and to charge $2,000+ to have had line drills all season was a joke. Outlaws looks like it really doesn't care.

I am not sure how has your panties in a bunch. That person spoke about Outlaws Gold as a snark remark to comment made earlier that they replaced all players with better players. Now I know about the team because my son also played on the team last year and would have returned but the organization showed little regard for the paying customer. They picked up players midyear, now I know all teams do but some of these kids did not belong on that team. Not bad kids but they were clearly taken to just fill the roster. Like the other poster said $2400 and some of the kids could not catch consistently.
The only team they beat on a consistent
basis was express white and it doesn't look like that will happen again this year. So if everyone is saying express white is a money grab what is Outlaw Gold?

Regardless of which team it is that you are critiquing you should keep your comments that are degrading to yourself. You tried backstepping, and in your second paragraph you put your foot in your mouth again. You are taking it upon yourself to be judge and jury as to who should or should not compete. Who the heck are you?
Express White didn't look like a money grab yesterday. They actually played very well from what I saw. 2 wins and 1 loss.. Not too bad. Defense looked very good, offense as well, and the goalie did a very good job in the net. Much stronger team then they looked last year. With more practice, they are only going to get better.

I don't know what team your son played for but if a team returned only 4 players it's either because the organization did not want them back because of their skill level or they choose to leave. So however you want to slice it that's a very high turnover so something must have been up. I did not stick my foot in my mouth. I would never talk bad about a kid but as a paying customer you expect a to get what you paid for and as the parent above put it that was not the case. Where you and your no one can speak the truth talk when people spoke up and question MC about express white this week. No one said they should not be allowed to play, instead a lot of people felt the organization should charge less and focus on development. If everyone felt that was a money grab charging $2,000 and above then what does that make the Outlaw Gold team.
I know kids on the team and wish them nothing but the best.
8-10 outlaws select kids returned. 4 gold. Not a good year for this age bracket.

good for those kids getting a taste of a winning weekend. has to feel pretty good after some of the drubbings they took.
I can't believe it, a good showing by SYAG and we now have to hear how they are one the Top 6 on the Island until the spring. Help us!

Why can't you accept that a really good town turned travel team gave some top teams a run for their money this weekend? They played extremely well from what I saw and definitely held their own. Its a shame you can't give credit to kids who strive to do well and enter their first travel A tournament and land at the top amongst some great travel programs. You must be a parent of one of the teams they beat.
Can someone tell me, with the explosion of travel lacrosse, and with the parity that we saw this past weekend....how come there are not more games between teams? Why travel all over the place when there is such a good stable of teams right here on LI.
Seems obvious to me, but I am new to this stuff also.

Fall ball is bonus lacrosse. You can't judge teams by how they play in the fall for a few reasons. First, some teams will have a lot of new players that are not familiar with the offense/defense calls. Second, some teams don't really practice much in the fall because it's not necessary. Lastly, there are contributing team members that don't even play in the fall because it's football season.
To answer your question though, many of these programs run their own tourneys and the season is only essentially 8 weeks long. If the Orange team plans a tourney on the same weekend as Express or the Blue team, you won't see everyone. Also, it's nice to get off of the island and see some of the other teams. Many people on here claim that their team is top 10 in the nation, but have never played the top Maryland, Virginia, Phil and Boston clubs. Newsflash... they're awesome. A spring league would be great, but from what I gather, field space is the issue. That's how they do it in Maryland. All of the top clubs play each other every week. That's why there are so many more elite quality clubs down south.

The skill level of those kids are at a beginner PAL level. Why would a parent spend $2500 when the local PAL team cost $120. Go spend quality time with your son in the yard catching and throwing and have them play PAL " untill" he becomes good enough to make, at a minimum, a B team.
This team is nothing more than MC and KW exploiting the uneducated lacrosse parent. It's criminal and both those guys have the reputation of being nothing more than money grabbing clowns as the previous poster so nicely put it

Listen, town teams are made up of kids from the same town. That team isn't so please stop saying that. Also, the team beat a rebuilding Tornados team by 1. That team was never considered a top 10 team and played in a few B divisions last summer. They will be good come summer because they're doing the right things, but they're not there yet And that was the best team you played. You're not a top club. You had a good day with a very favorable schedule, but I'm not even sure you were top 6 in that tournament because you played nobody. Easies schedule does not equate to being a top team. Didn't they lose in PAL too? So you're saying that other PAL teams would be ahead of you? So that means at least 2 town teams in the top 6. Interesting theory. Go away please. You're an idiot.

Travel is about going off the island and playing teams in NJ, CT, MD etc.. if you want to play against each other locally, there are plenty of tournaments where ALL the teams can attend. Igloo, Express,STS, Tornados, Outlaws could have all played each other in the columbus tournament but didn't. Why??
They tried a league type format at the hub and it didn't work.
and I'm sure your son is the best player on the A team, right?
Why don't you worry about your own kid.. I like how you can judge what type of players these kids are. Did you watch your kids game at all?? or were you watching all the other games to see your sons competition to make sure he stays the best kid on the A team?? like I said, worry about your own kid, and stop putting other kids down, and stop worrying about how parents spend THEIR money, unless your paying for it!!

If you are happy with this team for your kid then so be it. You dont have to defend it to anyone. They didn't play any legit teams this weekend. They will be in the bottom at all tournaments, just like last year. Other organizations are following MCs lead and starting their own money grab teams so they won't be alone. Enough kids try out for Express but MC doesn't care to spread out the talent. That is just the reality. Sadly it is unfair for the kids. I hope this weekend was encouraging for the kids on that team
They should practice catching and throwing all winter.
Everyone please stop. Nothing has changed at this age. The top 4 teams are still the same: Bandits a clear #1, Igloo, S2S and HBs are next. They all played each other: S2S beat HBs, HBs beat Igloo, Igloo beat S2S. Good solid competition. Igloo then won the championship. Not sure what the big deal is that Igloo beat HBs 11-2 in championship. HBs beat Igloo 9-3 an hour earlier.
Can we all move on from the BM stuff. He won with the HBs team when they were in 3rd and 4th grade! Are you kidding me? They were 7 & 8 years old. 3/4 of the kids playing now weren't even playing then. He is a good coach, let him coach his new team and let AJ coach his team.
As far as everyone else in the bracket: look at who you played. When you played good teams in the playoffs I think it is clear what level you are at. Nothing wrong with where you are. Just don't come on here saying you are a top team in the grade. You had a good day - enjoy it. You coming on here making all kind of crazy statements is what is wrong with youth lacrosse.
There are going to be some good battles between the Bandits, HBs, S2S and Igloo. For now, the Warriors, Outlaws, Tornados, etc. are the next level. No shame in that. The boys are 11. Some will get better some will get worse.
Please make sure your son enjoys playing the games - try to be supportive and not ruin his fun. At the end of the day this is supposed to be FUN! Please remember that...

Well said...
One thing that can be added is, whether or not your son plays on one of those four teams, it doesn't determine how good your son is. Those four teams play great team lacrosse but there are individuals on other teams that may be better. Give your kid the strength to remain on a team that may not be the top 4 if you think they are getting the most out of the program.
There is something to be said about being 1 tier below. Your son gets to play against better competition which will make him better. If your son is really good then he has an opportunity to be a leader.

So you yell at a guy for ranking teams and then rank teams? I'm confused.

S2S is the best Fall tournament team around. They fall off considerably in the summer though. I'm not sure they belong in top tier until they beat a top team in the season. Fall tourneys don't matter.

Last year was S2S first spring season. They lost to HBs 5-2 at NLF, and 11-10 in championship game at Summer Exposure in MD. They tied Igloo 5-5 in NXT. They lost to Bandits at NXT in championship 9-3 (4-3 at half).
We get it - you don't like S2S. But don't let that cloud your judgment on their talent level. Clearly they belong in the group. Competition is good whether you like it or not...

It is crazy how most on this board are so worried about who is ranked where.
The bottom line is the kids will get better playing against better teams. I am happy Express, Igloo and S2S are all close.
Imagine how great this spring/summer can be if instead of spending a ton of $$$ to play average teams in Maryland, We can have 4 way scrimmages between Bandits, Express, Igloo S2S. Have a BBQ at fields and let boys enjoy playing cometitive lax and then hang out after.

After reading back the last 7-8 pages on this thread, I'm repulsed by the amount of negativity in all of the comments.
My heart goes out to the kids being raised by these individuals.
This is a sport meant to develop social skills, team concepts, to foster hard work and ultimately have fun. The fact that the focus is on belittling children, and coaches, that put in a ton of time so the kids can have a great experience - is a true testament to our current society (not good). The children of these individuals will probably tap out of this sport in the next few years based on the fact it's just NOT FUN anymore. Well done...carry on...

I'm pretty sure it said until they beat a top team. Not "losing by one at halftime". There's nothing wrong with being in the second tier. Kids will play against great competition and improve. They are a very good team; however, I'm just not sure they should be included in the top tier.

would be amazing wouldn't it.
You know I can understand the crazy parent that comes on here and bashes a team their son played for and had a bad experience. They are venting. It's immature, granted, but at least they have a reason that directly impacted their son.
That said, their is nothing sadder than the parent that comes on here and ranks and criticizes a team that their son has never played for. That takes loser to a whole new level.

According to your logic - the HBs shouldn't be in the top tier because they have NEVER beaten the Bandits. Guess they should be in the second tier as well. Please use common sense. Again, competition is good...

I agree with most a what you said, ave for the coaches - the coaches, and more so the directors (many of whom coach), spend a lot of time to make money. Make no mistake about that - there is no altruism in travel lacrosse!

I'd buy into that. That's pretty much why Maryland teams don't come up here. They do this regularly. Unfortunately, there's too much money in running tourneys so the big clubs will never agree to it.
Now you are talking... that would be a fun barbecue. Igloo brings the potato salad and Express can bring the coleslaw. Given the number of games we can even do a pig roast.
For all the directors that may be afraid tournament fees will go down... don't worry, the teams will still play in them and still travel off island so they can play against other competitive teams outside "Strong" Island.

They beat Igloo, though. I think it's difficult to rank teams because I can't remember a tournament where everyone has played. Heck, I don't even think all of the teams have ever played each other. To say that there is a top 4 is a little tough to justify. Also, where do you stop? Does Laxachusettes Black come into play? Warriors? FCA? Crabs? BLC? Diamondbacks? Brotherly Love? Outlaws? Tornados? Madlax? Dukes National? Edge? Looneys? Annapolis Hawks? 90+1 Maryland? How many teams have actually played all of these guys? Your rankings seem senseless until they do.

There's is no more HB or Honey Badgers.

Can we all move on from the BM stuff. He won with the HBs team when they were in 3rd and 4th grade! Are you kidding me? They were 7 & 8 years old. 3/4 of the kids playing now weren't even playing then. He is a good coach, let him coach his new team and let AJ coach his team.
As far as everyone else in the bracket: look at who you played. When you played good teams in the playoffs I think it is clear what level you are at. Nothing wrong with where you are. Just don't come on here saying you are a top team in the grade. You had a good day - enjoy it. You coming on here making all kind of crazy statements is what is wrong with youth lacrosse.
There are going to be some good battles between the Bandits, HBs, S2S and Igloo. For now, the Warriors, Outlaws, Tornados, etc. are the next level. No shame in that. The boys are 11. Some will get better some will get worse.
Please make sure your son enjoys playing the games - try to be supportive and not ruin his fun. At the end of the day this is supposed to be FUN! Please remember that...

The team with the most practices so far won --- and thats a good example. Practice hard and often and good things happen. Congrats to Igloo, they won this round!
Actually, Tornados have definitely practiced more. We've been going 2-3 times a week. We'll be ready in the spring.
But you said you were going to be ready in the fall. Remember you were going to win all the t-shirts! lol
Falls not over. Some clubs play more than on tourney.
If parents really want these LI clubs to play more, you should probably stop posting so much crap after the few times they play now.

According to your logic - the HBs shouldn't be in the top tier because they have NEVER beaten the Bandits. Guess they should be in the second tier as well. Please use common sense. Again, competition is good...
They beat Igloo, though. I think it's difficult to rank teams because I can't remember a tournament where everyone has played. Heck, I don't even think all of the teams have ever played each other. To say that there is a top 4 is a little tough to justify. Also, where do you stop? Does Laxachusettes Black come into play? Warriors? FCA? Crabs? BLC? Diamondbacks? Brotherly Love? Outlaws? Tornados? Madlax? Dukes National? Edge? Looneys? Annapolis Hawks? 90+1 Maryland? How many teams have actually played all of these guys? Your rankings seem senseless until they do. [/quote]
How many of those teams has Igloo and/or S2S played?

Exactly, they were a great team in 4th grade and today they are not. The differences are new kids and no BM. The new kids are better so they should be even a greater team, but they aren't.
The team is 85% the same group. 4 kids are different. The primary core of that team is the same. The chemistry BM instilled in that core is what remains. The comparison still remains. BM had them moving in the right direction and at 6th grade, they were on track to be the best team in the grade. Today, they are complacent and play flat which allowed others to catch up. That failure is 100% due to not having BM as the coach.
Like it or not. That team will always be the team BM built and developed. They were team that was hungry to win when BM was coach.

Long live BM. I want his autograph.
Whoever is writing this stuff about how great the Badgers were and how great BM is really needs their head examined. You talk about him like he was Bill Walsh coaching the 49er dynasty. The reality is he coached 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders 2-3 times a week year round and won some games. That is it - nothing more. With every year there is more competition and it gets harder to stay near the top. Move on.

But if we stop talking about him then we'll forget about him. I don't know what to do if there is nothing more to read about the legendary BM. I did hear that he is now a grumpy old man living in a cabin in the woods.

Are you serious? How much did they develop in 3rd and 4th grade? They couldn't walk and chew gum in 3rd and 4th grade. That he "developed" them when they were 7 & 8 years old could be the funniest thing ever written on this board. Please stop writing - it is embarrassing...

Crazy, is this a 6th grade thread?
All you will learn from this thread is that a lot of parents don't like some guy BM and that 91, Express, Igloo and S2S are the Elite teams in this age group. You also will get a sprinkle of parents complaining about the hold backs. You may also learn that only the A team matters. If you are coming on this thread did gain any useful information regarding 2023 Youth Travel Lax keep it moving.

The conversation either starts out negative or someone posts something positive and, hopefully a small number of people, quickly tear it apart.
I had a BM this morning. It felt good to clear things out and start my day.
Any tournaments this weekend? I know some teams are going to Rutgers, but anything else?

Tourney in Purchase had odd mix of teams. Only known teams were Outlaws, kinda Predators (using a different name Bail Bonds), and kinda 2Way (using a different name Machine) and Tristate 4+5+1. Outlaws, Preds and 2Way crushed everyone. 2Way beat Outlaws in finals. It wasn't 41 degrees and raining so everyone won.

Wait. Outlaws Select lost to a team called Bail Bonds? You are saying they lost to the Bad News Bears??

How did 88 + 3 do in Md today?
You must be on wrong thread. Neither 2023 team was in Md. Unless they have three teams.
Thought it was 88/3 NY just heard it was there Md team
9D1 one as well as Igloo 2023
Thank you to the Owners/Managers of my son's 2023 team, who don't feel the need to make us go to Anapolis for a 6th grade fall tournament.

It ends when you get over the fact that your son didn't make the team and you get a life.
Any word on how the Bandits did "playing up" at Rutgers this weekend against some of Jersey's finest 2022 (B) teams?

The games were not competitive. I looked like they were playing down a year at least. I saw one game where the team did not win a faceoff against them, however to the teams that played them credit the kids still competed.

I would like to thank them as well, it's better to keep DB like you away from other kids.
Why does everyone have to be so negative....
Your right I'm so mad that my sons team was Entered in that tournament.
It was in the 70s both days, the kids played outstanding lacrosse against some very good out of state teams, parents and kids were able to bond and have a blast before the winter..... your right it was absolutely awful

Brentwood Town Cup
A serious question for everyone. Over the past two years or so, travel lax has gone from a summer league to a fall/winter/spring/summer league. Assuming that everyone plays 5-6 summer tourneys, what do you think is the appropriate number of tournaments for fall, winter and spring? Should they travel in the sub-seasons? I'm not bashing any clubs or directors/coaches for their choices, just curious. In my opinion:
3 local LI fall tournaments
1-2 winter box tourneys
2 local LI Spring tournaments (late spring)
5 Summer Tourneys: 3 local and 2 away (Md, PA, Mass, etc..)
I'm good with practices throughout. Once a week in fall/winter and twice a week in spring and summer would be ideal.
For that much lacrosse, I'm comfortable paying these every-increasing costs.

Is that all included, our travel is about 1600. That includes 5 fall tourneys, 2 of which are away. There are practices during late spring and then into summer, all covered by that original payment. Then there is the extras, winter training, fall tournaments, spring tournaments, box training and then the coaches extra (I am bringing in a trainer for the offense or defense). All this adds up to lots of $$$$. Maybe I should have gotten a boat. Probably cheaper. Nah, I love watching junior. Ok off to work.
Where is all the 2023 chatter, I figured after this weekend of tournaments there would have been some D-1 signings...

How did the Sachem Tournament go????
Anyone know if all these fur thee loveee of the game clinks are any good?
Warriors and a team from Illinois went 2-0-1 (tied their game). The Illinois team won the championship game. The Illinois boys said they were 12-13 years old when asked. They were definitely bigger and faster. Warriors hung tough. Goalie made some fine saves to keep them in the game early.
Saw a lot of that Illinois team because they played all of their games next to my son's 2025 team (Sachem soccer complex has the fields right up against each other). I also have a 2023. The size difference was comical vs LIE North and LIE. Did not see them play warriors at all - may have been on a different field or at a different time. At face-offs, the Illinois team was a full head taller than each of the aforementioned LIE team's players. In NY, 6th graders in the Fall should be 11. Comical they would have to play against 12 and 13 year olds.
It really doesn't matter too much. It's still only fall ball; however, playing against admitted 13 year old kids is only going to make 11 year old kids better. It's a shame that teams cheat, but we all know it happens. Anyway, it was a beautiful day!
Look at that 2023 division for mayflower madness. 6 teams and only 2 are not express. Haugen will destroy all those teams, why are other teams even bother going to sit in the cold for that.

Only two were 13, but that's enough. Add that to a handful of 12's and they're a tough out. Sucks that no one could verify ages ahead of time. It's a shame. Why would a parent want their kid playing against teams 2 years younger? How does that make him better?

Just give Haugen the tshirt and have all the other teams stay home. They are just placeholders for haugens team to beat up on. I predict they let up three goals the entire tournament and out score everyone by at least 10-15. Time for the recruiting brochure photo op holding a championship shirt.

Channy's Internal express "waste of time" tournament. This is the exact reason why BM fought Channy to have the team do better tournaments. AJ is a good soldier or puppet. Sad.

look at it this way. all the other teams will get some decent games in maybe.

B team. Doesn't matter. The tournament in this age is all b and c teams except express haugen. They will crush everyone and pump out their chest. It will be a total joke. Check back here after tournament is over and you will hear.
2023 Division:
Express Haugen
Express White
Express North
Express CT
Outlaws
So basically Channy takes money from his own teams parents for them to play a in a tournament that should be an internal FREE set of scrimmage games. When are the parents of Express going to realize Channy is running a Ponzi Scheme.
Go play somewhere else.

9d1 does this all the time. But they hide it better. Mix a bunch of teams from 9d1, 9d1 tristate, empire and fighting ducks and call it a tournament. All dynamic sports management teams.

Hey Too bad the Haugen team won against express north.
Why can't they just update the scores. So stupid. Does anyone know the results from today?
can anyone recommend a comfortable goalie glove? or the least awkward one. thanks

Totally Agree. That team has the most individual athletic talent yet are going backwards as a team.
So who won the bracket? What were scores?
My son has been a goalie for 7 years and he uses the STX shield. This is without a doubt the best glove he has ever used. Especially the smaller size because the thumb does not bend the glove is compact and contoured, the larger sizes has a plastic Nuckle. Once your son try's these gloves he will never want to use another.
So your 2023 son has been a goalie since 3 or 4?
What a parent. Specializing a little early?

Maybe he has more than one kid. Or his son is a different age. Stop being a [lacrosse] for a second if he's trying to answer a question.

I know, I know. BM you are the lax God and when you left to go to leg a c, everything fell apart.
We can't wait to play your new MLL tornado team.
My son is 2022, that's what I get for trying to help, never again!
This is a 2023 thread...

No chest pumping!! My kid plays for Express North and I think we are a good team but I was not impressed with this glory Haugen Team. I was expecting this high caliber team to show up. Not even close.

Very surprising. How has North done against other LI teams this fall?
North has a very good goalie & face off kid. Rest of team is fair. Maybe Haugen's team will impress you next time. Remember this is only fall ball.

Your kid got cut. We're sorry he is a loser.
Thoughts on box lacrosse, who has the best clinic for it? Does it improve your game?

Box is a great way for players to improve their stick skills. It involves lots of quick passes, quick shot and precise shots. Most clubs offer a clinic/team. Many teams have started working on box skills on their own, as well. Unfortunately, it can get pricey. Talk with your son's coach to see if he knows of a good one.
It's getting cold at the north pole. Better build those igloos strong to withstand the pressure.

You're a moron.
Express Haugen is a talented team but seem to not play to win. If they would only play the better kids more they would win more... but then again something should be said about playing time and AJ doing the right thing. Remember the Haugen team has all daddy coaches as well.

Going on here and trashing your own son's team is a real classless move. If you don't like it, ask for a refund and find a different team. I'm sure BM will take him on Legacy. They need players.

No we don't need players. You can keep the swamp. Don't drain it. Maybe you can start a 4th team.

At least there's interest. The "boys in blue" can't even field one quality A team anymore.

Says the dad who thinks his kid is way better than he is. Listen Pops, the coaches play kids for a variety of reasons. The product on the field is the top reason, but not the only one. Being coachable and unselfish on the field go a long way. You seem like a tool who probably tells his kid that he needs to go to the cage every time the ball is in his stick. That's why he's on the sidelines and not on the field. Also, having a a-hole for a parent is not helping his chances of getting off the 3rd middie line.
A roster of 17/18 kids will be more competetive then 22/23. It's about the money with express and most organizations. All business!!

You're Welcome.
This is AJ. Listen, I know what I'm doing. I played this sport at Hopkins and in the MLL so please don't come on here and tell ME that I don't know how to coach Dammit. I will play the kids of the parents who kiss my butt and stroke me. Enough said. By the way, we might lose a few games.

Putting JS aside, AJ is one of the best coaches, if not the best coach at this level. BM is an assbag of a joke and a cancer to any team. He will be out of East Islip within a year.

I heard that He will not be out of Islip because he's coaching the Tornados. My friend said that he turned that team into an A+ team.

If you have lived on Long Island long enough, you will know that any sight of a Tornado or report of one in the area, usually is extremely weak and does minimal damage.

Wishful thinking, Twister. It's very easy to build a team of dominant 7 year olds when you are one of only two team options. The kids who have dads and older brothers that played always start earlier than everyone else. They go to Express or Orange. Those kids are very rarely the strongest player acfew years later. That's what happened with HB's. The pack caught up to them. Now BM went to Blue and brought 3 mediocre players and thinks the same thing will happen? Sorry. It doesn't work that way.

Which B teams have been practicing 1-2 days per week consistently?
If yours hasn't then what helps you get to your intelligent hypothesis?
There are no B teams except the Warriors that are as good as anyone else.
Im happy to hear you believe that stupidity.....

Yup, you got it right.... they are all on the verge of beating the Bandits and everyone else. Go back to your B team life and keep hoping they'll be A some day.
These are the same teams in every age group that claims to be an A team and none of them are. Every time they play the top teams in every age group they get beat by a lot. No reason why anyone should believe this year age group is any different.
Bengals

Recon

The only difference with 90+1 Igloo and Express and say Empire or TrueBlue is depth. The starting lines on TB and Empire can run with any of the starting lines on the so called Big 3.
Says the Empire parent. Haha. Your in fantasy land ! They haven't played a real team in 2 years

True Blue is non existent. Where did they play this Fall? Did Joe C feed you that crap?
Empire lost every one that counted.
Empire plays against 5 Th grade teams. And only won the tournament on a coin toss to get to finals.They are no threat to any A team.

Well played!
It's amazing how parents would rather have their child be on a team/organization because of the "name", and not have their child play or see very little play time, than learn and have more play time with other organizations. I guess it's the season for "giving" one's money away!

Actually it's the complete opposite and my son plays on True Blue we scr the Bandits last year and got pasted Empire is 90+1 minor league Big disparity in fact warriors are better than most A teams other than Bandits and express
Not sure what is left on Empire. True Blue will be competitive. Bengals, recon, ducks Hitmen all B teams. Express B is probably B plus.
Recon is a few players away from being a competitive A team.

Didn't Recon just do a fall tournament in an A bracket and get destroyed? That is called a B team by definition.

Not really. Any team can attract 3-4 solid players. That's the easy part. Then you hope that the team does well enough in the season or has a coach desirable enough to attract 2-3 more. And so on. If the team does not perform well, you may lose one or two of your core and take a step back. Depth is everything. Dept separates to good teams from the rest. The top teams have two excellent middie lines and one good one, 2-3 excellent attackment and 2 good ones, 2-3 really good defenders and 2 good ones, and a very good goalie. If another team is running out 3 stud midfielders but has little else, when those boys need a rest, the team gets lit up. It's all about attracting 18-22 solid players, not just 3-5.

Great post and absolutely true, but isn't that what the person stated those teams are lacking depth. There starting lines are solid but after that they are not as good.

Yes, but it is not clear from this post that the team improved via existing playeys' progress or via bringing in new players.

How about the PAL coach? Other top clubs have MLL players or coaches as their head coach. How can you grow when there is no IQ development?
They got crushed 2 months ago!! So in 2 months they are on now ready for greatness! Wow! Unbelievable! Everyone should join that team!!!:)

Yes, and that's like saying "the Jets would be just as good as the Patriots if they just had Brady and Gronk" or "my kid would have made honor roll if he didn't get D's" or "my wife would be the greatest if she knew how to cook and didn't sleep with other guys". The entire point is meaningless.
But if we all agree the B teams can have 3 studs. Then B team parents can feel better cuz I'm sure their sons are the studs. Justifies B team status if you believe it.

At least those boys are on the field earning "stud Status" not like your son who sits on the bench all season, but at least he can walk around school with his A team attire and think he's an "A" player (until high school lax start).
But your son would switch places with him in a heart beat. He wants that A team swag so bad he can taste it
Oh and the only reason my son doesn't start on his A team is BC I won't suck up to coach like other daddies. On ability, he'd never leave field.

That post is pathetic.
The problem with studs on B-level teams is that, while they likely have the ability to play for the top clubs (though not start... if they were good enough to start, realistically, they would be on the team), it's tough to bump an equal kid who's been there awhile. I'll also say that those top tier clubs have A LOT of boys who play minimal minutes. That's the issue. Do you want low minutes in games and highly efficient practices (no one dropping the ball, high reps, etc..)? Or do you want high minutes (30+ minutes in a 40 minute game) and less efficient practices? There are very few boys on the top 5 teams that have the luxury of both. Probably 15-20 players on the grade level. If your son is lucky enough to be one of them, then you're exactly where you want to be. If not, that's a decision that you need to make. We all know that these clubs are not getting any less expensive. Personally, I'd rather not spend a weekend traveling to Maryland and renting a hotel just to watch my son ride the bench. I think playing time is a premium over all else, but that's just my opinion. There are plenty of clubs on LI, you just need to find the best one for your kid.

The reason your son don't start is because he can't and he never will because of the reason you mentioned. You are only concerned with the swag that comes along being on a A team, not developing as a player.
Naw. I don't have to kiss butt for my son to start. Eventually AJ will coach his sons B team and the new coach will go by skills. Channy told me so when I paid the next 4 years in advance.
Bengals don't even have a team...they are all girls teams these days..the others we will see how they turn out this spring. Some had a solid Fall, some did not.
A and B isn't so clear cut either. Is it an A team with kids that were "left back" or is it an A team with legitimate kids playing their age? Some of these teams when playing their own age can compete with so called A team- when you mix in the "left backs" not so much.
I have a son that plays on one of the teams mentioned and I have friends with kids on some of the other ones. I don't think any of them except for maybe Empire and Ducks which is owned by one of the Big 3 claim they are. I think the others strive to get there and may, but I think their goals are getting twisted into saying they consider themselves an A team.
When it's all said and done its about how your kid improved or didn't improve. People don't realize your kid may be an "A" player in 7th, but once everyone else hits puberty they get left in the dust. There's a lot of time to grow and improve, even when they get to high school and beyond. It's about fun and an experience - no one is getting drafted out of high school for multi million dollar contracts and half the kids committing early aren't even getting the full rides people believe they are...

Fellas is it really to hard to believe that a kid not on 90+1, Igloo, Express are excellent players and can care less the name of the team they play. Is it possible that some of these kids can really play the game but want to play with there friends. Is it possible that there parent wants his kid to be happy and lets him decide what team he plays on. I know for a fact that a kid tried out for two of the three teams mentioned and made them both and he decided to play on a B as you guys described. So for the dope that stated your kid really wants the A team swag needs to get his head examined. Your thought process is very warped. A lot of the parents on here need a reality check and realize what this forum is about. Good luck to all the kids in there upcoming Spring season. Happy Holidays!!!!!!!
The problem is most of these parents have never played a sport and if they did it was not at a high level. Don't you know that every kid on the best team is better than all the kids on the second best team and so on. Also all the kids on the second best team dream about playing on the best team. One more thing if one team beats another that means that every kid on the winning team is better than all the kids they just beat and the team that lost that first game could never beat that winning team if they play again. The winning team is always ranked higher despite their record against common opponents. Sounds crazy but parents do think this way.

All I can say is 'Wow!!'
Really!?!? You willingly just described yourself as king [lacrosse]!!
Belittling 6th grade boys because they don't have as cool as sweatshirt as your son while he rides the bench.
Maybe, just maybe, there are parents who realize dropping close to $5K or more on a season of lacrosse in 6th grade is insane, especially to not play. But I'm glad to know that IF your coach made decisions on talent, that your son would play every single minute (of course he would -- he is your son!! wouldn't expect anything less)

Agree with everything you wrote up above.
I'm sure that more than half the time, people just leave comments like that just to start controversy since 99% of comments here are left anonymously.
Oh, and just so everyone is aware. My son is not on one of those 3 clubs, and from the sounds of it, he is better off by staying away. The positive for him with his club is that he is playing, learning, improving AND having fun - which is the only thing that I care about for him. Oh yeah, AND he still had time to play football this fall and hockey this winter.

Dear Bluefish parent
With all due respect if your sons playing Bluefish he couldn't sniff a spot on any of the top teams and my son is NOT on one of the either. Regardless of what people try to say there is a VERY LARGEdifference from Bandits then to next two Igloo and exp If yours son is comfortable enjoy it but to be fair there is a Big difference HappyHolidays

Agree. Never said there wasn't a gap. My point was that we found a club where my son is having fun and improving his game. The club is a fit for what we were looking for.
And he was still able to play other sports in other seasons.
My son also plays for BlueFish. The coaching is excellent and he gets a ton of playing time and improving greatly. He is having fun and is so happy. You can keep the toxicity at the above mentioned clubs., along with the winning t-shirts.
Bluefish is a very good C team

A BCD, the normal parents that aren't living through there children don't care what level their son's team is. Kid is happy, he is playing, he's getting good coaching and getting better. Sold
So I was in Lax Un-Ltd the other day and talking to the kid that worked there. He said he is a senior in HS and is going to Yale next year (Good for him). Guess what club team he played on 90+1- NO, Igloo- NO, Express- NO, he played for True Blue. Can you believe it a kid from TB is going to a great Ivy League school. Can the fathers out there believe it the kid didn't play on the so called AAAAAA teams.
Exactly. ....but wait, here come the blow hards to brag about their son's A team. By the way, the college coaches Do Not care that your kid won a t-shirt for a tournament in 6th grade.
Not that surprising. I know several kids that are playing D1 that never even played club ball. It's not necessary. My guy plays because he likes it, not for scholarships.

True Blue has 16 DI players between the '16 and '17 classes out of 51 boys playing or committed to playing college lacrosse.
Great points by all above. Colleges don't care what travel team the kid plays on especially in 3rd, 4th , 5th etc... I'm happy for all the parents that had stud players at 8,9,10 years old and even more happier that they won tournaments,that's great. Wait until your kids hit puberty some will get better, some wont and some may stop playing that's called life. If your kid is a player he will be recruited. Like so many sane people have posted in the past as long as your son is getting better, playing and most importantly having fun that's all that should matter to a parent. I guarantee you 9 out of 10 boys could give a crap what team they are on. The reason its even an issue is what there crazy parents feed them.

Your a fool if you beleive that any kid can play at those schools..probably the most ignorant comment this year.

Besides your comment being just dumb on its face, it's convenient that you ignored the 9 of those 16 boys that are going to 'legit' programs:
Yale (2)
Hofstra
Army (2)
Navy
Maryland (2)
Lehigh
Your use of "etc" implied that most were going to DI programs you deem insignificant. And St Joe's isn't even on the list for their commits! And of the programs you belittle, I know of at least 2 - 3 boys (none were TB alums) playing in some of those programs that had offers to play at top programs, but chose these schools over those for logistical/proximity reasons other than for lacrosse reasons. So, don't assume that lacrosse is the sole decision factors for where someone goes, and there are many upper tier D III academic schools stealing DI lacrosse players based upon their pedigree - 99.9% of all elite lacrosse players know that lacrosse is never going to provide for anything after school.

Wow, hold on a minute Joe Cat Jr wanna be.
My son is on one of the so called "big three". As we all know, playing on any team isn't always about talent. It's also about connections, money, etc. Most of the time tryouts are BS and teams are not looking to take on new players, they are just looking to line their pockets. There are a lot of great lacrosse players on Long Island competing for numerous teams.Some dont even play travel at all. I agree, 90+1, Express and Igloo all have talented players, but a jersey or club doesn't necessarily determine your lacrosse talent. As these kids get older the gap between teams will continue to narrow. Some kids will burn out and some will continue to strive for success. The parents on here puffing their chests out about what team their 12 year old plays on while at the same time disparaging others, are the same people that were toolbags in HS and continue to live vicariously through their children. If you and your child are happy with your program stay put. Good luck and Happy Holidays to all!
Interesting to note the original core of this TB team played for the Express, one of the Express parents created True Blue taking a handful of kids with them.
HOW MANY CLUBS TEAMS WOULD YOU SAY ARE ON LONG ISLAND NOW????? 70????? 60????????

Besides your comment being just dumb on its face, it's convenient that you ignored the 9 of those 16 boys that are going to 'legit' programs:
Yale (2)
Hofstra
Army (2)
Navy
Maryland (2)
Lehigh
Your use of "etc" implied that most were going to DI programs you deem insignificant. And St Joe's isn't even on the list for their commits! And of the programs you belittle, I know of at least 2 - 3 boys (none were TB alums) playing in some of those programs that had offers to play at top programs, but chose these schools over those for logistical/proximity reasons other than for lacrosse reasons. So, don't assume that lacrosse is the sole decision factors for where someone goes, and there are many upper tier D III academic schools stealing DI lacrosse players based upon their pedigree - 99.9% of all elite lacrosse players know that lacrosse is never going to provide for anything after school.
Wow, hold on a minute Joe Cat Jr wanna be.
What did I post that wasn't fact??!
You forgot to mention the overwhelming Adelphi and other D2 schools. Its just a feeder program for Adelphi.

Nobody wants to go to Florida to brag about their 6th grader you loser! JS really has a lock down on parading his kids all over the place. Does he offer loans to the parents so that they can pay for all of this crap?
"You forgot to mention the overwhelming Adelphi and other D2 schools. Its just a feeder program for Adelphi."
Maybe the concepts of math escape you - less than 20% of their committed players are going to Adelphi, while 31% are going on to play DI, of which half are legit programs. "Overwhelming" - you keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it does. But again, your comment didn't even begin to refute the basis of my question - what did I post that wasn't fact???

If I recall correctly it wasn't too hot for igloo last summer. LOL. Enjoy your trip to Florida!
Igloo 2023 can't bring their 2022s? So they don't show?

How many True Blue kids are going to play at Adelphi?
When is Adelphi going to win a D2 title?

Oh yeah keep telling yourself that taking a 6th grader to Florida gets him committed. You sound like a total sucker.

Actually, most are not committed. A few are, though. Don't believe the hype.
The organization has gone every year this is not different.

5 or 6 kids from Crush are committed. About the same +/- as most big clubs. Just as many from Express, Legs, Looneys, Hawks, FCA, Sweetlax, Crabs, West Coast Stars, etc... Do you see any of those other teams going down to FLA? No. Not one. Not even the good Florida teams are playing. So no, going down there is not going to enhance your 6th grade son's chances of getting committed. Most of the parents on the team don't want to go, but they're scared to death that if they don't their kid will lose playing time. Last year they wet and kids never touched the field. Sounds like fun, right? JS is just an egomaniac and wants his name and picture wherever he can get it.

Dominated??? That's silly. They played keep away for 40 minutes. Most boring game I've ever seen.

I get what your trying to say but if what your saying is accurate pretty sure he doesn't need to go to Florida to get his picture on things. All of his teams seem to do quiet well. I do agree his style is different but I have an older son an we have always competed against JS older teams he's aheck of a coach and the kids love him. I personally think he's mellowed out. Competition is not different than other tournaments if people choose to travel they travel. Also like I said my son is in the 2020 class and our team also went to Florida for this tournament when they were younger as did FCA Rising Sons And others so you are misinformed. Between recent commitments Crush has 11 of their kids committed some announced some Ivy's asked boys to wait. My sons team has 6 boys committed which is about what they should right now compared to crush it's all part of the journey. Merry Christmas and Happy new year let's keep this thread classy it's a nice group of teams
Igloo has gone last two years 9 1 has gone often in past as has express This is a tournament many top clubs has attended FCA Looneys Rising sons Dukes From year to year the participating teams change
Silly is Bandit parents making every excuse in the world as to why they got beat. Both games were competitive. Igloo lost 5-4 the day before and than turned around and won 7-4 the next day..No fluke, no guest players, no stalling , etc., just good coaching and hustle!
Older son went with igloo two years ago it was a fantastic experience boys played teams from all over weather was great and the event was first class Younger boys team elected not to go this year about a month ago not sure why but regardless. Enjoy if you are going it was a great time in all facets

Yes they were stalling. I was there. They took the air out of the ball (which was a smart move). Slowing them down was the right way to win it, but I wouldn't expect that type of game to go Igloo's way again. Bandits have too much ball movement/speed and they will be better prepared to address that slow down effort.

So your saying JS was outcoached
Are we really analyzing 5th Grade summer lacrosse that is almost a year old and now 6th grade. Don't think the bandits respected igloo and igloo got them. Good for them. These are kids who probably haven't experienced "stalling" or slow lacrosse regardless disappointing igloo bailed out of Dicks last minute. Any 2023 teams playing Box tournament in Philly after Christmas
Heard a few 9+1 Mom's went toe to toe down in Philly at the last Fusion box tournament.
Was actually quite the opposite The Native American moms didn't take well to getting beat soundly If you know anything about box up north it's the norm
That would not surprise anyone. 9 + 1 parents are the worst!! Not all of them, but the bad ones are really nasty.
The cost of lacrosse equipment is rivaling hockey woah

"Got them"??? bandits played a zone d and came up against an apponent that was prepared and executed.
Merry Christmas happy 2017

Ok ninety 1 dad. I'll watch the Ducks fly off Long Island.
They are a B+ team at best, but they claim to be an A team.,
Wonder why they play in with the B division at tournaments?

They will fail just like the Hurricanes did. Ninety 1 couldn't care less because they are a money grabbing farce just like their piney tailed dead beat cheating lizard owner.

I disagree. They've already outlasted the Hurricanes. Also, they have some solid JV and Barsity level clubs. Not elite, but solid. Also, if a B player is now a B+ player then the model is already successful.
I think it's great kids have a place to play. Some people are just miserable
Went to the Panell/Rogers clinic yesterday at the HUB. My son had a blast. There was a kid there I'm assuming in 8th grade he was the biggest kid in the group, he had an Igloo pinnie on he had a sick shot. There was also 2 kids with 90+1 pinnies on younger either 5th or 6th grade with sick shots one was a lefty. Love to see young kids play at a high level, it was a fun day. A friend of mine kid played in the Santa Jam I think he is a 2024, he said a boy was hurt in the tournament hoping he is doing well. Have a Happy New Year fellas and lets try and keep this thread positive.
good thing the bandits made everyone travel all the way down to florida. close games. just so spallina can add something to the mantle. i pray for those kids at the back end of the rotation that they are getting some time on the field.

What a pathetic waste of time and money this tournament is. National Champs?? HAhahaha. At the older grades it is more challenging with the Canadian teams, otherwise, why bother??
That's the chance you take when you play for the best team. You excel, or your sit.

Bandits have 18 kids so they all play most teams have 22-25. Bet you wish little Johnny had only 18 kids I know I wish ours did our roster is 23 kids way too much. Let's keep the 23 board on the up and up. Are we going to analyze and psycho analyze every tournament people choose to go to?

Just like the kids who went to Denver right? But y9u ignore the point they made families pay and take the time to go all the way down there for what for them is a an easy practice.
I hear ya on roster size. In a perfect world...
Please on roster size. Maybe 18 made the trek to Fl. there are more than 18 on roster. Spillina about the money. And yes he's classless. beating 10/11 yr olds by 18 goals. total [lacrosse]. take your foot off the gas after 10 goal lead.

I hear you on not going hard after a 10 goal lead, but when the tournament uses the goal differential to seed the teams, it encourages coaches to pad their team to ensure the best seed.
I also think, if a coach puts in the second line or even third line, because their team is winning by a large gap, it's not necessarily fair to tell the players that tend to get less time, just pass the ball.
I do see your point though. I think the competition needs to be better matched. If a team is so advanced, playing up is probably a better option. I'm sure the defense and goalies didn't see much action- not much fun.
Goal differential is major tie breaker so be mad at tournament rules and the 1,2 seed were nearly decided by that. Sorry Think a bigger issue in this tournament is Dukes coming w mostly 2022 roster.
Son plays on another 91 team. The Bandits do only have 18 players A bunch of us actually asked why their roster size is allowed to be so small or (ideal) never got an answer. Do not sure 91 makes much money off that team. I will say tho that if travel teams used that as a selling point they would attract players roster size under 20. LI could use a different model

Why are you whining? This is an age based tournament!! what is wrong with you? and 9* has no problem playing kids down, it's part of their club philosophy.
Did a little research on this tournament. Figure we can add some facts in here Through the years nearly all the top teams in EVERY age group have attended the Dicks tournament from U11. Starting w Tenacious Turtles, FCA 2018,90+1extreme, express 18, team 90+1crush, Looneys 2020,express terp, FCAMD 20, sons, igloo black ice, madlax, igloo 21, Bandits, Dukes That's a pretty good group of teams that's also w a little research sure there are more.
Not saying I agree or disagree with any arguments (staying clear ) just did some asking and looked through some websites
Our team was set to go about six weeks before and had to pull out

Guess my point was lost . Truth is I do not think either should be discussed but that one jumped out at more than a team securing a seed. It's all good 😎

They keep top teams rosters low so they can play their top players a lot. They wanna win the championships . They load up the B teams to offset the $$

Those were all teams that attended U11 According to directors of tournament older teams of top clubs don't go as often due to them Due to Recruiting years Surprised at volume of top teams that have attended

Turtles won U13, didn't play U11, I believe the same for Crush. The Dukes may beat the Bandits, both have similar records, should be the only good game in the age group.

9+1 would beat the Dukes Nationals 23 team by at least 10 if not more.
Turtles attended U11 and u13 trust me I was there lol. Crush attended i11 twice and extreme once

Nope, Turtles, Crush has already been beaten. Turtles were not until later
Turtles were beaten many times by ninth grade then many times in 9th. Crush lost to crabs 2019 never a loss to a 2020 as was proven in wsyl Not even a debate

Bandits won Dicks final 6-5, the gap is closing boys….
i am a parent of Dukes it was a great game let's keep this classy. Majority of our boys were younger 2022 players with the exception of the obnoxious CT dads son( he's gotta go)the Bandits were very small but tremendously skilled and tenacious I can definetely see how teams on age with them would struggle with their speed. It was a back and forth game and extremely clean with sportsmanship and class which was great to see. Happy new year

Hello? Turtles lost playing up, not in there own grade till sophomore year. Crush had lost a bunch playing up as well such as to Laxachusettes and Sweetlax . Crush lost to 2020 Crabs and are still crying about it while harboring their own hold backs.
Dukes are not really a team. Just a group of hired guns and still couldn't get it done.
2022 Fogo and midfielder kept the Dukes in the game. In a normal 2023 tourney, Dukes would be in trouble.

Duke's are weak with much older kids. Bandits are in a different league.
Dukes lost w a 2022 team but have improved
Bet you those bandit kids are the same age. Don't kid yourself. Duke's had 2 2022 kids that were the right age.
Just because they are in 7th grade doesn't change their age. Some bandits should be in 7th grade too. You know it's the truth

Dukes were mostly 7th grade 2022 regardless didn't break rules as it was an aged based tournament Couldn't imagine the Bandits playing against many 2023 teams. Otherwise great weather and a break from the north

Dukes had to pull kids from 5 states that isn't a team...
Great game. Thank you boys for the entertainment. Great matchup. I would go see that game played weekly.
Was he yelling "Notre Dame!!" Code for my stone don't pass?
He was! Kid has talent but dad puts a target on him Bandits let him get nothing and the kid had at least 5/6 turnovers got stripped a few times. Not sure why our. Coaches feel the need to keep the distraction around

One reason pure money grab..
Dad thinks he's Earl Woods. There's a reason his son has played on a dozen different teams. And it's not because he's talented. It's because over time parents and coaches can't handle the selfishness. Stop trying to squeeze blood from that Stone. Let him play and enjoy it before he regrets it all. And let the other parents enjoy it too.
Father is a freak. He videos practices. You know the drill where 2 kids lay on their stomach and coach throws balls out behind them. The father literally signals the kid to give him a head start. It's a fact.

They played at Halloween Havoc last year and the refs had to stop the game 2x to tell that guy to relax and leave. Then they lost to the Warriors and dad was fuming!
LETS BE CLEAR. I am a parent who was there. There was only 2 of age 2022 players on Duke's. (Midfielders). Neither scored a goal or had an assist but played well. The Bandits are an exceptional team that is very well coached. For all those who were there, they would understand that was the highest level U-11 of lacrosse in the world. I know all the other teams at 2023 don't want to hear that but that's what it is.
This was clearly NOT written by a Duke's Parent...

The 5 posts above this post are all from the same person...do you think he has an agenda he is pushing?
I was at the game. Bandits are an excellent coached team that fended off an Elite group of individual players. Duke's had one midfielder that was ridiculously fast and defended the best bandits and was unstoppable on clears. Haven't seen speed like that at this level before. They are changing the game.

I really didn't want to get involved but this stuff has to stop. First this tournament, at this are group, had two really good teams there, the Bandits and the Dukes. When you go to a tournament you want every game to be close. You gain nothing by winning by 12 to 18 goals and that was all of the games for these two programs. Second, the Dukes are made up of players from different areas that want to play more lacrosse at a high level. The way the program is designed works great for us. Third, the Bandits are a well coached team with a small roster, unlike all the other 9+1 teams, that play all year round. The fact that they do play together all year shows in there play and I think that was the biggest difference in the game. As far as the Dukes being individual players, you are correct for that one child who is coached on the parent sideline by his dad who thinks the game is all about his son. If you watched the game, or the tournament, you would have seen at least 80% of the goals were assisted for the Dukes. The game is available on youtube. The Dukes coaches were great they poured there hearts into these kids and my kid walked away with a great experience

Thats Funny. Lol. Its ok to laugh at a post once in a while.
As a Philly based club dad I follow 2023 team links in LI and MD. I find this post interesting as Ebe Helm is the founder of Dukes Lacrosse based out of Philly and the ONLY founder of Dukes. I don't see him in the picture for the DTOC 2nd place finish nor does he have a son on the team.
So what does that make you as the person who signed this FOUNDER??

Warriors beat younger Dukes National. TOTALLY different team fact. That was the younger boys
The biggest problem is the fact that Lacrosse can't get it right grade based or U system pick one and go with it too many different sets of rules that create all this unnecessary discussion. Every tournament same ages creates NO questions

Warriors are unquestioned B team YES to the best 2023 team but B team that's the truth the best player you had went to Bandits which is exactly the way it should be. Are the warriors good the answer is yes but a B team that is better than many A teams
I was the one who made the comment regarding the Pannell clinic about the older Igloo and the younger 90+1 kids. My son is not on either team, I was just paying a compliment to three kids who I thought were good players. I wasn't analyzing a clinic or reporting about it just paying a compliment. For the few knuckleheads who made comments about the post grow up. its kind of pathetic how you come on here and just bad mouth everything.

Incorrect. It was the 2023 team. Not younger team. There were LI 2023's playing for them.
Point being the LI kids that played in Florida were 22's from Huntington (outlaws) 3Village etc. yes warriors played 23 nationals Dukes did nothing wrong playing 2022kids they were legal

Just so everyone understands- the Dukes team that went to Dicks was the U11 team. All players we age appropriate. To say otherwise is absurd. It was an age based tournament.
Def age appropriate just majority 2022 kids and older But legal
I'm not sure what's going on here! The Duke's Nationals had two players that were 2022 on their U11 team. Both middies! Not sure why that's a problem. Do you think that it's impossible to beat the 2023 Bandits who also had a couple young 2022's playing? Is it hard for anyone to believe another program can put together a talented group of players that are also well coached. Not sure why this is a problem. The Duke's are a good squad at U11 Or 2023!
As a Dukes parent there were no rules broken all kids were age appropriate formTHIS tournament Were many 2022 the answer is yes but they all made the cut off some were a large impact and some made no impact at all. Not sure why this is such a knock on the Dukes that 2022 kids played age appropriate against a 2023 team
So was it 2 2022's or many?
It doesn't matter but it's funny that Dukes people have such different answers

Short of listing kids names it was many, and many from LI the thing is NO rules were broken as for this tournament they made the cut off.
My Sonia a 2022 and is a late May birthday
He is the younger of the 2022 and will turn 13 in 4 months
Hopefully the Dukes 2022 playing in a u11 tourney has a 124 IQ and dare I say Skipped a grade Fiorward

For all the people out there who that speak without facts. Just go to Dukesnationals.com and attend the next mini camp on January 14th. It's 3hours of high paced instruction for 60 bucks. All the players with be there 2022, 2023 2024 & 2025. Anyone who thinks they have the game to compete can come.
If you are graduating in 2022 shouldn't you already be 12. My son is 2023 he turns 12 in April. There is one kid on his town team who is in 6th grade but was kept back, he already is 12. Doesn't add up...
Age based tournament. So it's a mix of grades, which seems to always spark a debate for some reason.
11U - Born between 6/1/2004 and 9/30/2006
11U - Born between 6/1/2004 and 9/30/2006
Thanks I didn't realize that. I assumed age based if your born in 05 you are considered U11 didn't realize it spanned from 04-06

Because it doesn't. Obviously it would not span 18 months. 12 months in a year. US Lacrosse dictates that U11 eligibility is from 9/06-9/05.

You can be 12 years old in U11. You guys are crazy about Duke Players. When the game film comes out everyone will know the truth. I spoke with a Duke parent and there were three 22's, 37,30 and 1. 30 and 1 were the two 22's that made the biggest impact. 30 was a killer on the faceoff causing them problems and number 1 was their strongest middie and had the most impact of the 22 players. He was able to shut down their biggest weapons on the bandits and required a double team every time he had the ball on offense. His speed made it a difficult challenge but the bandits managed as the rest of the Duke midfielders weren't nearly as strong. Good game by two good organizations and it was the highest level of U11 lacrosse in the world.

http:/
Those were the 22's that made biggest impact scoring clearing etc. let's be honest here as my son was a 2023 pushed aside for 22's. There were no rules broken but the truth is it was a large number of 2022 kids perhaps the above poster is speaking of LI kids and even that was 4/5. That said our coaches were honest from the start that there would be games kids would play a lot and some they wouldn't. No rules were broken and it was a game with sportsmanship and class. Happy New year
My son is born September 2004 and is a 2022. Stop with all the nonsense. He would have been eligible for this tournament. I don't see what is so hard to understand. If you were born after 6/04 you were eligible for this tournament U11. Lots of 2022's qualify for that.

Yes, you are right. In the normal world, typically a 2004 birthday is in 7th grade right now and on pace to graduate in 2022.
Problem is within the lax world, many clubs that have a 2022 graduation year team have kids on the roster born in 2002.
If you are a Dukes parent, you are miss informed. There were 3 2022's and only 3.
#30 FOGO, #1 DMId, #37 OMid. No one was pushed aside for anyone, but playing time is not always equal.

I agree people get so caught up with the age. I could careless if your kid is age appropriate or if he is a holdback. If he is on the opposing team you play your hardest and whatever the outcome is that's it move on to the next game. With that said I think if they made each birth year the requirement this would alleviate any issues parents have.
Age vs Grade= Build a team accordingly.
Agreed case closed

Ridiculous you loser! That's how kids are getting hurt. They're getting tee'd up on and head to head collisions occur. I bet you're happy your kid looks like he is good against 11 year olds. Go back to 2022.
Bring the Right age kids and this won't happen.
I assume most confusion is because although it calls itself a U11 tournament, it is based on the your kids age classification as of August 2016 so many players were actually U12.

How many summer tournaments are U tournaments anyway - none. Most are grade. GO TO BIRTH YEAR
US Lacrosse Foundation has several sanctioned tournaments based on their "U" format. Not enough, but hopefully soon to be many more. They base the U age format, not on a calendar year, but a lacrosse year, 9/16-8/17, for this year.
He wasn't there. I'm giving you ignorant people an example of how a 2022 can play in that tournament. Keep whining though. Everyone is out to get your little boy
Do teams know their summer schedules yet ?
Take it easy calling the guy a loser. In most states September 1, 2004 is considered 2023. New [lacrosse] is one of the few that is Dec. 1.Thats why even if they start doing age based tournaments the cutoff will be 9/1. Which is basically keeping it grade based minus the holdbacks.

Bandits posted a couple. Both NLF's and Naptown
Warriors are doing a few spring, both NLF's, NXT, Young Guns, and Lax Fest
Tornados are doing Playday (Md) and Blatant in the spring and NXT, TriStar Lax CLash, and fl$ Shootout.
S2S is doing the 1st NLF, Strong Island Classic, Lax CLash, Legacy Invitational, and Rhode Island Classic. Plus we're doing a trip to Md and PA in the spring.
That's all I can see so far.

Last March US Lacrosse announced a u based program that spans only 12 months (sept/sept) now it's up to the clubs to adopt by this fall. That will once and finally end this debate and level the playing the field. I would be surprised if they adopt this. Or PAL and the towns can lead the way. But in my opinion and experience with PAL is that it is not well run at all amd town teams only exist for tourneys, not the PAL season.
Rec and Travel are age based for fun.
Club is grade based so college recruiters can pick who is coming in every year and evaluations and verbals can start at 7th grade.
Why s that so hard for everyone to figure out?

Wow, unbelievable. Way to put yourselves on the college coach "immediately cross out with red pen" list whenever they see that team and your name associated with it in their binders. Classy group indeed. . .
What an embarrassment. Should be banned from all tournament play.

I think he was referring to the owners greed more than he was making fun of b teams. At least I hope so.

They better keep the Husky kid on attack. All those "big hits" will be misses when they aren't playing games on a short field or against little kids. I saw a load of one man play and walking.

Who are they? I did not recognize a single team playing. was this a promotional video, because none of the teams were playing defense against them
If you watch the video, at the end it tells you their in florida. And if you look at the lines on the field they are playing half field, like out door box.

No one is running to sign up, that's for sure.
The teams they were playing are number 3 and number 4 placeholders at Dicks last week.

I am always amazed how grown men can act like HS girls and start and continue the gossip chain.
1. No one want to see kids go at it like that on a lax field but kids do loose it sometimes but those incidents look like both parties were involved.
2. The team is fully sponsored so if a kid plays until he graduates hs that over $28k
3. The owner of the team contributes an additional $1k to each full time player collage fund each year they play on the team.
Grow up people and start acting like men. You're calling kids trash

I honestly can't believe someone is justifying a video showing blatant penalties and provoked fights by saying it's "funded" and the coach is putting into a college fund and hey, kids lose it occasionally and have to gang-beat an opponent? And the voiceover? These are SIXTH GRADERS not UFC fighters? What college coach is going to look at that approvingly? Embarrassing to the sport. . .

Did you watch their highlight video? It opens up with one of their players starting a fist fight with a player from another team. When he gets tossed to the ground like a rag doll, a bunch of his teammates jump the kid and begin punching him in the face. I don't think that is the image a club should be putting out publicly. It clearly shows that the club is proud of, and encourages, that behavior.

Bandits, Tornados, Igloo practice 2 times per week. None of the other teams practice in the winter unless it is a clinic.

I head coach is great. It's good that they're playing a lot. I heard their first team lost a ton of players. My older son's team was a second team that the club didn't care about and after a few years they were better than their A team. Keep it going boys.
The Coach is great. He is focused on making our boys better which he has done a great job already. He donates his time all winter no questions asked. We couldn't be happier playing for the Outlaws and for the coach
Looking for a lacrosse sleepaway experience for my rising 7th grader-- any suggestions

B club wanna be. They are a C club because PB is a total jerk. He is a D owner and doesn't know how to speak to people. You don't get a mass exodus of kids if kids want to be there, believe me.

Show me any club and I'll show you a line ten deep of parents willing to complain and badmouth that club, especially when those parents are given a forum in which to do so anonymously. Anything said on here has to be taken with a grain of salt. It's really disgusting that parents who act friendly to each other on sidelines, while their children play on the same team, will then run home and from behind the protection of their computer screens, badmouth and disparage those very same people. It's scary that this is the example we're setting for our kids. Not every club, coach, and team is a good fit for every kid, or parent, for that matter. Unfortunately, one size doesn't fit all. If you're happy where your kid is playing, stay where you are. If you're not, move on. Just because a team is not the right fit for you and your son, however, doesn't mean it's not the right fit for mine.

Isn't his son the coach of the team where everyone left? Don't know if it purely PB's fault alone.
Someone is just trying to stoke the fire in this age group. Make whatever comments you want but there is no dis-function on the Outlaws 2023 1st team. The coach is great and is a motivator. He is teaching the boys and there is real talent on the squad. Do they have the depth of some of other LI teams? Probably not and this may be why it will become more difficult to compete but the kids are encouraged and, in their minds, feel they can compete. At least for this team, put aside the past as it is old news which has been covered extensively in the fall. It's a different team and the head coach has been great. He is approachable and accessible. Kids have one team practice a week in the winter and can sign up for Outlaw or other clinics to supplement.

B club
B club wanna be. They are a C club because PB is a total jerk. He is a D owner and doesn't know how to speak to people. You don't get a mass exodus of kids if kids want to be there, believe me.
Isn't his son the coach of the team where everyone left? Don't know if it purely PB's fault alone.
That's why we left. Our new team has 3 coaches on the field at all times. Practices are 2 days per week. It works for us.

Sounds like your kids new team is the berries! Keep your criticisms to yourself please. You may be better off spending more time playing catch with your kid or even brown nosing all 3 coaches on your kids new, super fabulous, wonder team, then commenting about 11-12 yr. old club lacrosse on the internet. Good luck. I am excited to meet you on the sidelines in the spring!
Just a ? For you..when your kid plays middle school sports next year, are you still going to be bragging about practicing 2 days a week? I really hope you are not going to have your kid specialize in lacrosse. It's a lot to do homework, play MS sports THEN go to travel team practice.

Don't sweat it. Some people are just bitter. There are lots of good teams. Maybe that guy's son is a player from one of the top 5 teams (Igloo, Express,Bandits, Warriors, S2S) but plays 10 minutes a game. Is that worth the $$, travel, etc..? Not to me. Id say it's best to find a team that your kid plays quality minutes. That's way more important.

Isn't it more about the quality coaching and learning how to play correctly than sending a kid out onto a field and say "go play"?
I Know the B team has been playing in a league and entered a few tournaments and has indoor practice time set up. We played them in Santa Jam and the parents and the team seem like a tight group. Most of the team is new.

My son is on this team and I feel the exact same way. Has been nothing but a positive experience so far. He is happy with the team and coaching as am I.
It seems these forums are really ranting sessions full of hate. Nothing useful whatsoever.
Can you guys stop with the top teams this is 11-12 year old Lacrosse. My son is on a so called top 5 team and is a starter. A co-worker of mine son is on a so called B team and he is as good as my son probably better. Oh my god did a parent actually say another kid could be better then there own. Anyway stop harping on the top 5 teams, your kid is better then another kid, Who cares!!!!!! half of these kids may not even play as they get into HS. Like the prior poster stated there is nothing useful on this thread.

I get a kick out of the politics behind how the kids get chosen for travel teams on the top club circuit. I've been in the scene with my boys for 10 years (one of them 2023). My 2023 son is better than his friends and he's on a "B" team because of his height, yet he makes the so called "A" players look silly when he blows past them. He has been overlooked because we don't play politics with the owners or coaches, and at previous tryouts the evaluators only look at height. My older son has become an amazing player with A+ grades. It'll be fun to watch him get recruited to a top lax school when he was always on a "B" club for most of his youth.
here's who cares about your superstar son.....
So Travel Lacrosse evaluators, Coaches and assistant coaches have passed on little Jimmy for a few years and yet " yet he makes the so called "A" players look silly when he blows past them."
And you are of the perception that its his height???
This could be the classic "B" team Dad seeing what no one else sees. Holy delusional. Keep plugging away. Nothing wrong with B teams but there is a reason why he gets passed over. His height???? C'mon Man!!!

My son is also short and he also blows past the bigger kids and makes them look stupid. He is very difficult to defend. He plays for a top club and get asked to play for others. I think the evaluators are probably looking at your height, not his. Either that or they don't want to hear your mouth. Start looking in the mirror, pal, that's likely why your kid plays where he does.

As an outsider looking in, this "A" dad sounds like a tool. He's gonna look ridiculous when the "B" kid takes his sons spot.
Says the b dad... short kid dual . A VS B.

I love it when the 5'4" inch dad or 4'11" mom goes on about size not being an issue, its all talent etc. you may have convinced yourselves but in reality I hope that you realize you have a very "short" lax future.

And its easy for him to get to the nuts because he is vertically challenged!
are we really now discussing an 11 year olds height? is this some sort of joke?
my son plays on one of the top clubs and 2 of the best players are the smallest kids on the team. They are quick, unpredictable, and like lil bugs that swarm and annoy the opponent.
Height has nothing to do with what club you make or play on.
That might the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on here.

My son is 3'5" and he is super slow and 30 pounds overweight and can't catch or throw, but he could run circles around your son!

As a parent that left I agree and diasagree with you. There were major problems the last few years, it was evident that's the reason why more than half the team left. MB or PB have been coaching this team since the second grade. That tells you sonething. MB was put into a touch situation last year and it was not his fault. The new coach just never showed up and it was way to late when the change was made. That being said, it is possible this team was a microcosm off how the entire club is run. How do you have a directors team be so disfunctional for so long. I know many parents there and your not practicing once per week. That was the plan but it hasn't happened yet in the winter., am I right? Most clubs, like my sons, have had almost ten practices since the last fall tournament. They will be prepared to go on the first tournament in the spring. I won't hear the excuse that it's the first tournament and we really have not had practice yet this year, another reason we left. You still don't have both coaches at every practice. That is a problem, no? So that issue was not corrected. yes there are amazing parents on the club and all the problems have left, maybe including myself. So good for you that your starting fresh. But how does PB take a parent back who spent the last two years bad mouthing the organization, leaves and joins another club. He gets kicked off that club for complaining and you bring him back? What message is that sending? This was not the first time he took a parent back that left who was nonstop complaining. These are some questions about how it was run launch 2nd grad and still happening. The parents that stayed are happy and I am happy for them because they are my Friends. But old news sometime is still tomorrow's front page story.

When he is that short, you really should just use inches. For example, my son is 41".
It's kinda like when those annoying moms say their kid is a baby for too long....."He's growing up so fast; next week he'll be 132 months old"

Good point! Thanks for the advice. And they say there are no gentlemen on BOTC. You are a good man.
Constructive dialogue and criticism... appreciate it. You bring up valid comments. In principal, the team is suppose to practice 1x per week but stuff happens e.g. holiday, weather, etc. By the time the Spring comes around the boys should have practiced 10 times. Add this to the fall where the team, most weeks, practices 2x is a pretty decent number. I am not speaking of the organization as I know very little about it. I can say your comments about PB seem accurate based on my minimal interaction. However, from my vantage point, MB is an entirely different story. He is engaged and the kids respond very well to him. Should we have more coaching available... yes but that hasn't had a significant negative effect. I for one am willing to give MB the benefit of the doubt and he has stated as such he plans to be with the team all through middle/high school. If this is the case, that continuity is invaluable. You know the saying though... trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me. You made the right call based on the information in front of you and the history you had with the team. Bash the Outlaws program if necessary but, for everyone's benefit on the 2023 Outlaws team, let's move on. Nobody has claimed this team will be the best on Long Island. I know the goal for my son is to continue to get better and he is taking a longer term view on his prospects beyond club and school lacrosse. Good luck in your new club and I am glad your experience there is better than the one you previously had.

I agree. There should be more intelligent men on this site instead of the annoying mom's telling everyone about how gentlemen
Of course it is BM. He is a straight looser

It's mid day and I'm bored. Does anyone have any good banter to spill?
Also, what happened to the person who was laid up in bed after surgery and posted the youtube of the Riverhead club team fighting at tournaments?

The video was taken down. It's too bad because it would be great to have karma catch up with the little Riverhead dirtbags and meathead coaches.
Remember the titans !
Can't wait for [lacrosse]'s this weekend. How many more clubs are going from the area? I heard only the best teams go. Any feedback?
Dicks happen already. Bandits won 6-5 over the Dukes Nationals.
Can't wait to see BM's team this summer. I am sure he will surprise us all. I can't wait to see him beat AJ and his old team. MC will have to react.

The Tornados is that the Legacy 2023 team?

BM is doing the right thing by his new team. He puts in the time and is really trying to make our kids better. The problem is that he doesn't have the athletes that he did on HB's. We have probably 5 high level kids and the rest, while good players, wouldn't make any other A teams.

Anyone know how he reacted on the field that day? Did he rant and scream or only play the same 10 kids the whole game?
Let it go. BM is now coaching Legacy and helping to build their program in this age group. He behaved appropriately in the fall tournaments so perhaps he has mellowed out. From what I saw, he played his entire roster. Some more than others but isn't that the norm. Even if he did shorten the bench, this is travel lacrosse do don't single him out for something most programs will do when necessary.
From someone he is not a fan or foe of BM but sick of hearing everyone continue to bash the guy.

Sore loser!
Those little "Riverhead Dirtbags" are children. Those dirtbags are best selling, published child authors who just flew a bullied child from Arizona to Disney with the proceeds from their books. A kid they didn't know. Their meathead father is a best selling author of self development and uses the proceeds from his books to protect women and children from kidnapping. Its pretty easy to call people dirtbags and meatheads from behind a computer without actually knowing what you are talking about. They took the fights out of the video that was produced by a company thy paid to make the highlights. The meathead flew us in to play against kids who stopped at nothing, including fistfiggts against our younger team to win. Forget lacrosse when I see my kid take a full speed cross check to his spine when he doesn't even have the ball. Our kids defended themselves and we will never teach them not to. If that makes them dirtbags in your eyes, then fine. But calcthem dirtbags - little kids - thats classless.

Your telling us that your kid never got in a fight on the field? You must be the fat father that leans on the kids spare stick on the sidelines and tells the kids how to play but never played the game in your life!

I think the point being made was that while fights happen, and maybe even defending yourself under questionable plays is fine, but neither should be featured so prominently in a video that appears to be promoting a children's team.
And furthermore, don't you think if a newyork team goes to florida that their not going to be singled out!

The only reason your team took down the fighting video is because of the outrage that your team publicized along with the death metal soundtrack. Go away loser!!
Just so we are clear, the last two posts go directly to the person calling kids dirtbags because my son was one of them!
that's right... mom with the tramp stamp!!

To be clear, BM does not run that team. He is clearly the 3rd coach on and off the field. They are not quite a true "A" team but some great kids who are working hard and getting better everyday. I think it is clear that someone higher up threw him a bone.
Nice of the Bandits to not run up the scores this weekend...
There are co coaches w Leg a sea. BM is one of the heads
Summer tournament schedules out or is my org slow
Just youtube Riverhead Lacrosse PAL high lights. They literally promote cheap shots and awful lax. Then at the end say if you are interested in joining. LOL. What a joke.

Now this is funny. How many of the Manhasset kids play travel? True town teams are just that...town teams. All levels. "32" was invite only.
Seemed like that team was basically a combo of two travel teams....
team 32 2023 has half the team already committed
Went to Dukes National "tryout" this past Saturday. Buyer beware. The practice was 3hrs and 10 minutes long. They did the same 5v4 drill for 2hrs and 30 minutes of it. The same 3 kids on attack the whole time - never rotated any 2023 attackmen (until the 2022s showed up - then they alternated with those 3 attackmen). This was the biggest disappointment ever. For new kids they gave them pinnies with no numbers on them. The coaches had no clipboards in their hands. This was not a tryout - a total MONEY GRAB! I will say it again - BUYER BEWARE!
Oh yes, and they raised the fee to $895...

So a "true" town team is a team where none of the boys play on a club team? Seriously? A true town team is a team where all of the boys playing live in the same town. Why would it matter that the boys are playing for their town and a club? Are you acknowledging that a lot of the boys that play club get better and have an advantage over the boys that just play town?

So now to qualify as a true town team the kids can't play anywhere else. Interesting.

No, that's not what I'm saying. Obviously, tons of kids play travel. What I'm saying is that to be a considered a true town team you can only have kids from your town. Whether they play travel or not is irrelevant. No extras from outside that play for your kid's travel team or anything like that. We all know that one or two kids can make a tremendous difference on a team. Many travel teams masquerade as town teams but have as many as 5 kids from outside of the town. There are very few true town teams that can compete with travel clubs. I was just giving kudos to Manhasset for beating some travel teams. There are a very small number of town-only teams that can compete with travel clubs. Three Village is one that comes to mind. To play on their A team (travel & PAL), you must be from 3V and not play on another club. Teams like that are the exception, but also why they are so good at Varsity level.

Not what I am saying. A true town team has plenty of kids that do not play club. Manhasset's team has only hand picked kids on 32. Great that the town can field all these boys, dont get me wrong. But stop with the holiness. It was made up of travel kids. Not inclusive of the bottom tier kids on all PAL teams

being that it was a 24/23 bracket, did 32 have any 24's on their team?

As long as they all live in the same town, they're a town team. All of the kids that play for Manhasset live in Manhasset. They are a town team, a very good one, but still a town team. Unlike teams that enter tourneys from Commack, Huntington, Connetquot, SYAG, etc.. that stack their team with out of town ringers.
you know darn well that you do not want the Manhasset kids coming to your team and taking a spot easily. probably would be able to skip the first b.s. round of tryouts.
Are you serious? A true town team should have boys of all ability play? So if a town has multiple teams in PAL in 6th grade and they form an A team, then they are not a true town team. Read that again and please recognize how ridiculous your point is. If you want to have a true town team then you need to have boys of all ability levels and they should not play club lacrosse. What town is following this model?

No one follows that model because it's moronic. What you're describing is a PAL town team. That's great. Everyone plays games against similarly skilled kids. However, tournaments are generally more competitive so towns very often make a True A team to participate in them, providing they have more than one team. You sound like you're new to the game so I'll give you a pass.

What are you talking about??? They are all already on travel clubs. Definitely 3 top tier plywrs, but the rest is filled in with Middle of the road players. Not bashing them, I think it's great that they won as a town, but it was a [lacrosse] tourney and against quality competition that team gets smoked... bad.

When you turnover your team 3 times in 3 years, you tend to alienate people. Just sayin'

There are never too many clubs/teams until demand determines it - there is a team for everyone of every ability. That's whats called growing a sport! If a program here or there has issues, there are many more that are filling up - the market abhors a vacuum.
They will be much improved. They picked up a few very good players.
They pick up a few players each year, but the prior post is correct. They have completely turned the roster over for 3 consecutive years. When you do that, you alienate a lot of people, and you end up with a few players who have also switched teams a few times and begin to run out of options

Then why has fl$, True Blue, Recon, Blue Fish, 365 Lax, Hitmen, etc. all folded or can't field a team?
I know 91 and Express have three teams, and a few other programs have two teams each. Is that where the kids are going?
True Blue has 2 teams for 2023, not sure where you are getting your information.

From my experience, TB does not focus on Fall tourneys - they hold regular fall practices almost weekly, winter workouts almost weekly, and then start up again outside in March for bi-weekly practices for the first half of PAL season, and then up the practices for spring summer tourneys. I think their thought is to let the boys play and focus on their true seasonal sports in fall and winter. But, they definitely have an A and B team for 2023.

For a team and coach who no one deems "good enough" to even care about, there are a bunch of you here on BOTC who seem to expend a lot of effort to disparage him every time the program is mentioned. Sort of a conflict in logic there . . .

Nope I said all this to his face a few years back when my older son played there. Did he like Nope, did he call me a few days later to talk yes, Did I change my tune... Again I do agree he is a good coach just don't like or respect person.
Sorry your kid didn't make the team but coming on here to bash the guy just shows that you are classless too! You said your peace to his face but you still have to rant? I call BS!! You didn't have the balls to tell JC what you really thought! Move on you ball less bottom feeder

My son is on the 2023 Hitmen team - they only have 1 team but it's been set since tryouts. Not sure where your info is coming from but I'd double check it.
So let me get this straight (and forgive me for assuming you're both women, but by the way you're arguing it surely seems like it).
-One mom on this board likes TB and the coach. It's probably a good fit for her kid. Great, that's exactly what you should be looking for.
-One mom on this board doesn't like TB or his coach. It likely wasn't a good fit for her kid. Not a big deal; it's pretty common. Fortunately, LI has limitless options for travel lax,
Can you dorks just exchange numbers a do this via text or while getting mani/pedi's so no one else has to read all of this bickering?

As of now Recon has 2 2023 teams. What is this terrible post?
If Recon really has two teams in this age group, that really tells you that a lot of kids want the Travel lacrosse experience. Now what do the travel haters do?

They do have 2 teams, the first team is a very good B+ team. They have 2 teams because its a very well run organization.

As opposed to what? You ask this like the poster is saying they are AA.
Who cares if they are an A,B,C or D club they have two teams. There are kids playing Lacrosse and having fun that's all that matters. I'm not a RECON parent just a parent that has had enough of all the jerkoffs putting down every other program unless its 90+1, Igloo or Express...

You belong in in the PAL thread, and your son is a perfect match for his B+ PAL team.
i'm a parent on 2024 TB (my son sometimes practices with the 2023) and came across this. (killing time at work ). usually very tolerant of things written on here, but from what i see with the boys (and the parents!) there is nothing but love and respect for JC. He treats them like men and gets every ounce of sweat out of them. I know zero about lacrosse, but watching him coach our boys is inspiring. My son is lucky to have him.

They do have 2 teams, the first team is a very good B+ team. They have 2 teams because its a very well run organization.
What makes them B+?
Where have they played at since last summer?
Last I checked, lacrosse is a summer season.
You belong in in the PAL thread, and your son is a perfect match for his B+ PAL team.
A team for PAL. And one of the best. Also on one of the best travel clubs and one of the best on the team. Thanks buddy.

Is this guy JC the head coach at Adelphi or an assistant
Did a couple of FL$ clinics this winter, very impressed with them. How is their 2023 club team never seen them at any tournaments.
JC is the Assistant Head Coach to the Head Assistant Coach, who cares if he is the Head or Assistant will that change your opinion of him.
enough said.....

No, the lacrosse community on Long Island has disapated. Sports Hub used to have camps, and clinics all the time, and so did a lot of the other clubs. It's a dog eat dog world here and you only get in to a private clinic when you're in the private good old boys club. Sad to see especially when the other states have great clinics and low cost running all the time.
Statement makes no sense, look in the camps & clinics thread. Otherwise do a little on line research. "Good old boys" network??????? What on earth are you talking about?

Who is in the clinic thread... Blatant and Hub clinic? Come on, what a joke!
My son's team is getting together for two 2 hour intensive practice. Working on rides, clears, fast breaks, defensive schemes, etc. Is that what's being offered at the Hub or Blatant????

Nope. Not at all. I can confidently say that no one plays more than him on any team. But I know coaches and guys with kids on all of the top teams and you didn't describe any of their practices. So either your kid plays on a bottom tier team or you're full of crap and you're trying to make someone feel bad by pretending your kid's team does more than his. Either way, you're a lying jerkoff and you don't know nearly as much as you pretend to.

Welcome to BOC. It's a long road ahead of you. Sit back and enjoy the comedy trip you are about to embark upon.
So the word on the street is that a few new super groups are coming together instead of going to Igloo, 91, Express, etc because the recruiting landscape has changed and the kids don't need the money grab of the top 3 clubs anymore. It's getting easier to get recruited without the club.
OK I'll bite...Please explain what you mean. 6th grade super groups?
What's better, Super Groups or Boy Bands?
we get it your going to re class your small son who will be average sized for one year then be a small 2023 stop plugging your son

Who they played is a big piece to be missing. You had the ability to identify one team but not the other. No one on the other team had not one piece of clothes with a team name, a bag or a mascot. Seems there was one clown there.

Who did they play? Any team can look good playing against a weak team.
They should compete with the Bandits this year.

A few pages back RECON was talking of being included with the AA teams - an ok team but they are not close to joining that group...
Highly doubtful this was written by an S2S parent, GC34 had a practice at the Hub at the same time, maybe one of their parents wandered over to watch and thought it was something more than what it was: a 7v7 indoor scrimmage on March 1st. Doesn't mean anything other than a good run for both teams.
Dominated!!
That GC kid is really short. If I was his dad I'd re-class him to 2nd grade and nobody would know.

Stop beating around the Bush and just say it. Otherwise zip it. And if they did make that claim, I would hope you would've been smart enough to not believe it. Nothing against them but no one's making a jump from b to a like that.

Express and S2S dominated the Brine. There are going to be some great games this summer.
S2S is a super group....first example of a team created around a strong group of players.kw
What exactly does "first example of a team created around a strong group of players" mean in reference to S2S? Don't all teams try to create a team around a strong group of players. Not being sarcastic but are you implying that no other team has a "strong group" of players?

This is a typical S2S parents' thought process. Take a good team, dissolve it, start a new team, pretend to be original. Smh. Let me know how the Rhode Island Classic goes. Should be some really steep competition.

You guys realize that there is no "team" at this age, right? This is one of the biggest wastes of money in lacrosse. Spend $150 to possibly get selected to spend another $700 (plus airfare and hotel and food) to participate in a 3 day camp in Florida in July? No thanks, I'll pass. Plus, the team is chosen by the Express directors.
That's why it was only Express and S2S. They're the only ones dumb enough to do this before 9th grade (when there are actually teams and games),
S2S is just one team, not a program. Assemblage of 32, RVC, Icon, Express, etc.
What are everyone's thoughts on Spring PAL this season for 2023?

i think you'll start to see some towns with multiple teams maybe dropping teams. Starting to see some of the less invested/less serious kids dropping the sport. Looks like out town is dropping a team. Should make the remaining stronger though.
We've seen pictures of players from our town who were in the 6th grade last year playing for badgers. Lost credibility in my eyes if u need to bring in kids a year older what's the point

He's correct. There are no games until the boys get to high school (9th grade). Until then it's pretty much a waste of time. Unless you wanted to go to inland Florida at the end of July and deal with 95 degree temperatures with 99% humidity. Wait a few years until it actually means something.

what are you talking about? they play games against other regions in virginia with everyone else. Last year 22/23 was youngest group. check tourney machine. this year its 23/24.
What Town were the supposed 7th grade Badgers from?
Do you mean the two hold backs who reclassified? Yes they are older but technically on grade because they are repeating 6th grade. This is why lax should adopt age-based rosters like soccer and hockey. Otherwise you encourage hold backs. And with recruiting starting sooner, you'll see reclass happening earlier and earlier.
Still haven't mentioned town????
Hopefully NCAA votes mid April to shut the door on early recruiting and this hold back/reclassified garbage becomes less prevalent.
Wow....fake lacrosse news. Brainiac wont reveal the town so called 6th grade holdbacks come from....

Bandits will be at the Warrior tryout in May that's why they weren't at the Brine
Is the 14 year old bandit going to be there.or does he have committments with crush and blaze?what a joke that is.he will be 20 by the time he graduates high school
Brine was good. Talented kids there and yes the Express kids and S2S kids stood out. Shouldn't they though? Two very good teams with talent. Other kids stood out as well, especially the tall kid from prime time. Good workout.

You think your young bully can hang with the Bandits ? Many have tried, and I'll bet that when his time comes, johnnie will wimp out like so many others.

Is your son one of the kids running around trying to slash and beat the [lacrosse] out of their opponent? I'll never forget a tourney last year. Warriors were playing outlaws black. Pole fromantic outlaws laid out a kid, dirty play, flag thrown, pole then runs to mid field and does the same thing to another. Walks off and coach just pats him on the helmet. I told my son to keep his head on a swivel if they played them. Stop teaching your kids that thug play = good defense.

"fromantic" ???? wth is that??
As per the Urban dictionary: fromantic
when people act romantic toward one another on a date even though they are just friends
similar to fauxmantic, but both people understand exactly what they're doing and do it on purpose
Mike and Jen went looked so cute together at prom!
Are they going out?
No, they were just being fromantic.

Accuweather has next Saturday at 47 and Sunday at 48 degrees. M'fer its always cold!
I wish they would just call shamrock off now with the pending snow. Rather get one last ski trip in.
Call it off, NEVER! Too many $ to be made. Maybe they will move it out a week, but that's it.
The Hub has an indoor tournament this weekend!

Millon is fantastic. well worth the spend
My kid did million he enjoyed it
Millon is excellent! A great reputation and has been around for years. A great combination of fun and somewhat competitive lax.
Watch out for True Blue this year, people will be surprised.
Jeez...well, thanks for ruining my surprise then, True Blue dad!

I think many of their teams have improved for this season, but even if it's true, and no one will know one way or the other 'til late June or July, you know you are going to get ridiculed here, so why post it? Just let the boys go out and play and prove themselves on the field.

They have added some very good players this year.
early recruiting at its finest.
But is it a quality event ? Or just a money grab?
Mostly comradery for younger kids. Coaching was good quality but the ratio to players was not very good. Older kids get some exposure to college assistants. Mostly skill work for a couple hours in the morning and games in the afternoons.

Depends on your expectation. It's a recruitment event where all eyes will be on the older relevant kids. No one will watch an 11 year old because they don't care. With NCAA likely to restrict recruitment till Fall of junior year next month, I'm not even sure how many people will waste their time going to the event at all. However, if you have expendable income and some free time, your kid will probably play some quality lax with some really good players.
Express Badgers lost 2 of 3 in Maryland.
They went 2-1. Their only loss was to Next Level, which is a very solid team. They beat Brotherly Love and Madlax. Madlax "accidentally" posted the score 10-2 them winning when it was the other way around, Express won 10-2. Funny how that happens at a Madlax event...

Here come the badger parent excuses. They lost period. Accept it.
"They only loss to a solid team". Oh please. Are you really going to post that they lost to a average team? They lost!!! They are losing more and more games. Pack is starting to swallow up big man Express. They were always overrated. Even when BM coached them.
Haters gonna hate....HAHA....No excuses...Actually won 3 of 4 .....Overall great weekend ....Kids loved playing on Hopkins field....Thanks AJ .....Not sure who BM is

What are going to be the big tournaments this summer that has significant attendance from the top clubs? Lax Fest is usually a big one but it looks like Igloo and Bandits aren't attending this year. Odd that the Bandits aren't there, given it's a 9D1 event. Why isn't Igloo looking to defend the t-shirts they won last year? Are they avoiding each other?
NXT had a bunch of top teams last summer. Bandits, Express Haugen, Igloo, S2S, Warriors and BL. Bandits, Igloo and S2S aren't going back, at least according to their websites. Express stopped posting their tournaments.
NLF tourneys on the Island in June and July should be well attended with Bandits, Express, Warriors & Laxachussets. What else?

Blatant runs the best tournaments. Most of the best teams will be at them.
The Blatant Fall tourney is a good local tournament and Spring might be okay too but Blatant only has one Summer tournament, 7/1-7/2. Are any of the top 5 LI teams registered?
I guess maybe we'd have to agree on the top LI teams for 2023. Didn't want to get into a ranking argument but based on last summer top 5 would seem to be Bandits, Igloo, Express, S2S and Warriors. Outlaws, Three Village, GC34, F$G, True Blue, Recon and Leg-ac-y are not in that category (let's see what BM does with Leg-ac-y but the 2023 team hasn't done anything to this point and it would be a huge step up for them to crack the top 5). SYAG and Mamas Boys are part time teams from my understanding and they've done nothing to show they belong in the top 5. Did I miss anyone? Did I manage to [lacrosse] everyone off? Not my intention but I guess it's unavoidable.
Seems overdue for some kind of Spring league strictly for these LI teams to battle it out. Leave Sundays to PAL and play an 8 game schedule on Saturdays with playoffs. Who says no? More $$$ for all the directors and gets the teams in great shape for the summer tournament season. Shocked it hasn't happened yet.

I would have to put Leg a cy in that top 5. How good is the F$G team I've never seen them at any tourneys.

The problem is field space and weather. I think the space can be found, but rescheduling for snow and rain could be a challenge. Look at the last few weeks. Two Saturday tournaments need to be rescheduled already. It's a great idea though. Amazed that no one has found a way to make it work.
Tornados are not in the top 5. Not even close, yet. But if they can win some games this season and then attract a few solid players, they could potentially move up. They would need to poach from one of the others teams though.

Are you telling us that BM can't grow his existing group? The almighty ex-badger needs to poach?

How is player turnover at this age going forward. Do these top teams make many changes to there rosters at this age?
Everyone is always trying to get better.

Essentially, yes. The "top 5" teams that were mentioned are still going to attract the most skilled players. That's the nature of the beast. And, I think it's fair to say that each of those teams improved from last season to this season, some more than others of course. Most of the kids that are going to be playing travel are already doing it, so I think the idea of a stud coming out of the woodwork is pretty slim. There may be second string players that are not happy with playing time moving from team to team; however, I don't know that they will swing a club very far in one direction or the other. I think that many on those teams have found their niche and will continue to grow as a team with minimal changes moving forward. The Tornados are a good team with very good coaching. Their starters can run with just about anyone. What they lack is depth at all positions. I think there is a precipitous drop off from starters to back-ups and that is what separates the top teams from the rest.

but BM is the Zen Master and can make the team great. He built the Honey Badgers for AJ, and Express. He then got shafted by them. He doesn't need to poach.

New to this board... S2S is who and is 2023 their only team?
S2S is one team and has a coach who got fired from Express and Igloo.

What you failed to mention is that every team he has coached including s2s is ALWAYS in the top 5. I am not a 2023 parent either but facts are facts.

Where is S2S bases out of, which town are most of the kids from?

Didn't change much? Things got worse. A whole lotta Daddy ball going on there - clearly some of these kids don't belong on the team let alone get significant playing time. Should be really interesting this year...

Not involved with S2S, but this comment got me thinking.
Lax is rapidly growing in numbers, with more and more teams being created especially at the younger years. I wonder how many of these kids are going to stick with this sport as so much emphasis is on win now...and if you're not in the club or on the best team by 6th grade, you're useless.
Thoughts?
Just win baby

This is something that I don't get. I realize that these 5 teams are really good. But, all of them (Bandits, Igloo, S2@, Exp AAAA) are coached by Dads. Most Dads will play their kids more then anyone else. It's just the way it is. I bet they think that since they spend so much of their time and effort coaching the team, that their boys deserve to play more than others. Granted, a lot of these Dads are very good coaches and have played and/or coached at the highest levels of the game. But, when it comes to playing time and who gets the ball on emo or whatever, the coaches kid will be the one. I know kids on these teams and all the Dads do nothing but complain about playing time. Remember--it's not what you. It's all about WHO you know. Carry on.......
Who cares who the top teams are, if your son shows interest in playing college lacrosse make sure you put him on a team where he will be one of the top 6 players of his travel programs AA team next year. These top 5 - 6 players will be the only ones who receive an invite to the very important elite recruiting events when the time comes.
All others will be left in the cold to fend for themselves.
Just a word of advice, take it for what it is worth.

This is something that I don't get. I realize that these 5 teams are really good. But, all of them (Bandits, Igloo, S2@, Exp AAAA) are coached by Dads. Most Dads will play their kids more then anyone else. It's just the way it is. I bet they think that since they spend so much of their time and effort coaching the team, that their boys deserve to play more than others. Granted, a lot of these Dads are very good coaches and have played and/or coached at the highest levels of the game. But, when it comes to playing time and who gets the ball on emo or whatever, the coaches kid will be the one. I know kids on these teams and all the Dads do nothing but complain about playing time. Remember--it's not what you. It's all about WHO you know. Carry on.......[/quote]
I'll be the first to admit it; if I coached one of these teams I would unquestionably give my kid more opportunities than others. It's in our nature as fathers to want our kids to be successful and if we can by dedicating our time to the team then so be it. With that being said, most of the kids on those 5 teams are high quality players. In all likelihood, they are the stars of their town teams and have been since k-1. The truth of the matter is that once they get on a team like that, there are a lot of kids who are as good, or better, than their son. They, the parents, have a very difficult time accepting for the first time that their son may not be the "full ride to Hopkins" player that they thought. Suddenly, he looks like an average to below average player on his team and they look for excuses as to why he's not playing as much as they think he should. Enter the "daddyball" excuse. While a dad may play his one son slightly more than he should, none of those coaches would do it at the cost of a game. And there are 21 other kids on those teams who have to earn their spots and time as well. That's what I tell my kids. Work hard and earn your time. If you're not happy, we'll find a club more suited to their skill level.
Playing time trumps all, imho. That's what I'm paying for. My kids wouldn't be happy as cheerleaders. They want to play and there are plenty of options on LI to find a team that will get your kids the time they desire. Some people just need to swallow their pride and accept reality and not make the "daddyball" excuses all the time.

Your advice sucks. Every kid who goes to a college Prospect camp or individual showcase has a shot. Nobody needs the greedy clubs except for the owners who need the income.

There are a bunch in Daddies eyes!!
Daddy coaches work out when there son is a stud. Otherwise its a struggle. Huge benefit is the commitment a daddy coach will make to the team.
If his son struggles, so will the squad and the morale of the team. Who wants to watch the coaches kid struggle time and time again and never get taken out. If your boy made 1/4 of those mistakes he would be pulled.
Find a legit Daddy coach who has a son that can play.

Exactly, that's why I put that in quotes; however, do you really think most of these people know that? Many still believe that it's in their child's future.
The real benefit of the S2S is that DK is a professional coach , no kid on the team.

That is not so true on S2S. There are definitely kids who do not belong on this team who get significant playing time - especially on defense. 2 years ago when DK was the Igloo coach he probably did the best coaching job I've seen in youth sports (with 2 older sons who have gone through this). Now he is a puppet being run by the Manhasset parents. It is a shame...

I would think blatantly cheating with older player would disqualify him for the "Best Coaching Job in Youth Sports" award.

They are considered a top 5 team. You're telling me that the defense is weak and the attack is terrible? I find that hard to believe. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Obviously they are playing more than your son and it bothers you. Find another team then. There are tons of choices and they will still take a new player if he will help the team.

What a different world this website would be if there were names attached. I guess S2S was the unlucky group to pop their head up on this board after a long winter. Where will the giant wheel fall on next? Igloo? 9one? Express? I know kids on most teams - been in this game far too long, watching it go from bad to pathetic. I guarantee that 99% of the kids are happy on their teams....all that matters. Dad's -- stop grinding your fangs. 99% also will not play legitimate D1!!! Enjoy it while you can

Manhasset. And whoever said Igloo will self destruct is a bitter person. That team seems to be getting stronger.

Obviously they won't take the team "as is" to the WSYL. But I don't know who will. Legs constructed a team of anyone that would fit into the age limits last year and I'm pretty certain every other club will do the same. This Igloo has already brought in extras last year and the year before to beat teams. I highly doubt this would be any different.

I know him very well. The midfield is locked. Only about 4 spots could possibly be upgraded.

So only about 40% of the starters. That won't upset anyone...
What did Express do this year for the WSYL?

It's less than 20%. There are definitely some defense that could use a transfer.

It's less than 20%. There are definitely some defense that could use a transfer.
How is there attack, do they need any upgrading on the attack position.
First of all, there will be 2022's that will be eligible due to the tweaking of the age cutoff. The best kids that are eligible will be on the team. You may think the goalie is safe, the middies, etc... but they're not. There are likely older kids that will bump them. Then tell me how much you love your team.

What's the tweaking? Nothing has changed. There's definitely Attack who should be tweaked.

No, the 2022's that fit within the modified age cutoffs

Everyone left because of the coach. Sounds like coach wrote the post.
Nope overheard parent shooting his mouth off, Bragging about how good the team is this yr, just wanted unbiased feedback since don't know much about them

Watched them practice. Top team. Practices are 2x per week. Didn't need those few who left. Midfield second to none and Attack much upgrade.
Outlaws Select is A Minus
Not with top 3 or 4 teams
Kids did leave , but nothing to do with coaches
More they thought grass is greener elsewhere
Team has been practicing all year.
Kids are 11 12 years old. Just enjoy where yours is. Time flies by
Do not Live through your kids. Live for your kids

Slight correction: we did leave because of the coaching, not because of the players. Kids were great friends, but the grass is like Kentucky blue grass on the other side.
When you say "older kid", does that mean they are in 7th grade? I am not completely following. If a team plays in grade based tournaments, and all the players are 2023 grad year, IS that CHEATING?
This site focus should be education about the game and forums about rules and where the game is going in the future. For instance, why has the boy's/men's game has become boring on offense because the fast break hardly exists? The shot clock not helping that much from what I can see. And I would never say I know everything about the game, just would like those types of discussions.
Best of luck to all teams this season.

Well, on the Outlaws side the grass is like Colorado home grown.
How is Bluefish at this age group, do they have a competitive team at this age group?
They weren't that competitive last year. Not sure if the have improved or gotten some new players this year.
Bluefish lost many players across all ages. In 2024 they have a hybrid team with 2025. The Bluefish are floundering.
2024 defected to 24 because coaches and parents didn't want to wait until after college season to start practicing.
How did the Warrior tryouts go yesterday ? Did many kids show up?

Every defender made the team.
Bandit face off kids were a lock.
Bandit and Express A were a lock.
Warrior kid dominated bandit face off kids.
Let me guess...you believe in the Easter bunny too!
Ton of talent out there mostly Bandits and express kids
The tryout should of had two fields going that part was disappointing thought that could of made it better
The Warrior games were a complete joke. The 91 kids never left the game. Jeez, I wonder why???

and apparently starting practice earlier hasn't helped them
I counted 11 defenders trying out total. How could they all have made it? There were a few that stood out.

They can't. There were about defensemen, 20-30 attack, 5 or 6 goalies and I think 30-35 mids. That's the best count I could get. and, the talent was through the roof. There were a couple of offensive standouts, but not many. The Bandits didn't look any better than most of the kind did there, but 2 Bandit coaches are coaching the team.
I will say this though, the evaluations were well represented by many of the top clubs. Coaches AND directors from Outlaws, 91, Express and Igloo that I recognized. I guess we'll see how it shakes out.

Warrior tryout was a Total rip off and an insult to every kid other than Bandit and Express A. They blatantly played the same kids for 90% of the time.

*about 15 defensemen
That's not true at all. Were you actually there?

I'm not sure about that. It just seemed like that because the entire Bandit and Express A teams showed up. There were a lot of them there! Only saw a few Igloo, Warriors or S2S which I thought was pretty disappointing. Those kids would have made the team better. I'm assuming that not all Bandits make the team. Maybe I'm being naive, but they just didn't show as well as I thought they would. I will tell you that the Express mids shot the ball every time they got it. Jeez, I hope they take teamwork into consideration because those boys were all out for themselves. AND, most couldn't hit the cage if it was 2x the size. Rosters are supposed to be out by Wednesday.

The 2023 Warrior Tryouts, if you want to call them that was a SHAM! The first part of the try-outs were a series of drills for the boys to display their individual skills, this was fine. When the boys were divided into two teams for a scrimmage, one team was made up of 91 Bandit and Express players (A Team), and the other was everyone else. This team is to be coached by Joe Spallina, A.J. Haugen and a couple of other token coaches, so it's interesting that the teams for the scrimmage would be divided this way. Play seemed to be dominated by the team of players from assorted other organizations, so it will be interesting to see how the roster shakes out and how many players from Bandits and Express A make the team, as opposed to some of the other players. My opinion is that the roster was determined prior to try-outs, and this was nothing more then a formality to add some legitimacy to the process. When the try-outs were concluded the players and their parents were asked to gather at the center of the field to hear comments from one of the events coordinators. The group was thanked for coming out and they would know something by Wednesday. They were also told that they had been reviewing film of players from this group that could not physically make the try-outs for over two months. Seriously?, How stupid do these people think we are? For starters, how many sixth graders have film to submit for review? Just another way for the powers to be (91, Express, Outlaws, and the rest of the Long Island Lacrosse Mafia) to justify putting together a team of their choosing, to showcase their own players, and collect some money ($185 per family) from all of the other poor saps that think their son had a legitimate chance to make this team on their own merits. I would Love to see the roster published once this team is determined, with the travel organization each player is from. My guess is there will be few surprises. What a disgrace!

With all due respect, and my kid does not play for Bandits or Express, I think they grouped the kids that they liked from the skill portion together to see how they would work together. And, half of the kids on the Bandit/Express team won't even make it. I don't think the game was dominated by the assorted group as much as the faceoffs were dominated by the kid from that team so they had possession much more.

Yes, total sham and everyone will know for next year. Disgraceful on 91 and Express! Whoever reads this, please take note for next year. Do not waste the $185, or more next year.
Sorry, referring to comment that it was a ripoff and blatantly playing same kids. Just not true.

There were a couple of Igloo kids, a few S2S, 4 or 5 Warriors. Who else did you expect to make the team? Right now, those, along with the Bandits and Express, are the best teams with many of the best players. Of course there are good kids on other teams, but if they were really good then they would have been on one of those 5 teams. I really don't know how you people expected this to go. Maybe if more Igloo, S2S and Warriors showed up it may have been different, but they didn't. I think that may have been a wake-up call to those parents who think their kid is substantially better than he is. Keep in mind, all of the kids there were very very good; however, that doesn't mean that they should all make the team. And in case you're wondering, my kid was there and will not make the team, but at least I saw how he stacked up against the best.

Oh stop it. You are phony and we all know that you were one of the organizers. Possibly even Channy himself. You know the game was joke and a fraud so please stop responding to how it wasn't.
Strange my son plays express yet there were many 2022 express players at the tryout that we did not know. Thought the Bandits had many of the better players then a bunch of express kids and as they are the stronger teams in the age group I am not surprised. Thought the Legacy goalie was tops in the goal

You're an idiot. Channy is not even part of the age group you d-bag. So you don't think that the kids from the best teams are the best players? And they wouldn't have the best shot at making a team comprised of the best players from LI? Really? What planet are you living on? Let me guess, your kid is the beast on his PAL team and you think he should be allowed to play for this team. And everyone at the tryout should have gotten a trophy and a cookie for doing their very best! Please.

That's a twist. Are you saying the 2022's were practicing with the 2023's? I'm not too sure I believe that one, sorry.

The goalie in blue?
funny how the brine tryouts included the entire s2s team given their coach involved. no bandits anywhere to be seen. Now warrior with spalling and express running it has their teams but no s2s. It is so obvious what is going on
Which goalie was in blue

Only 3 S2S players showed up. I'm not following your logic.

Doesn't Channy pick the teams for Brine? You're not making sense.

He's just big boned and that's the Bandits goalie.
That was the bandit goalie
Was actually one of the smaller ones. But for an adult to call a kid fat..
Unfortunately everyone's $185 was cashed before the new recruiting rules came out. 90% of the PARENTS there thought their kid was a shoe-in to be the next kid signed. 6th grade. CMON

Play seemed to be dominated by the team of players from assorted other organizations, so it will be interesting to see how the roster shakes out and how many players from Bandits and Express A make the team, as opposed to some of the other players. My opinion is that the roster was determined prior to try-outs, and this was nothing more then a formality to add some legitimacy to the process. When the try-outs were concluded the players and their parents were asked to gather at the center of the field to hear comments from one of the events coordinators. The group was thanked for coming out and they would know something by Wednesday. They were also told that they had been reviewing film of players from this group that could not physically make the try-outs for over two months. Seriously?, How stupid do these people think we are? For starters, how many sixth graders have film to submit for review? Just another way for the powers to be (91, Express, Outlaws, and the rest of the Long Island Lacrosse Mafia) to justify putting together a team of their choosing, to showcase their own players, and collect some money ($185 per family) from all of the other poor saps that think their son had a legitimate chance to make this team on their own merits. I would Love to see the roster published once this team is determined, with the travel organization each player is from. My guess is there will be few surprises. What a disgrace!
Yeah what a farce the two best teams with the best players will have the most representation ! People how does this surprise you. Best teams best players make the team sure a few others have a shot if other organizations had legit players there 91 and express would use something like this to poach them.

Its not a showcase, you moron, nor has it ever been billed as one. That's why it's for 4th-8th grade only. I love these dopes that have no idea what they're talking about but want to seem like they are in the know.

You're a jackass then.
I am very optimistic about my sons chances to make the 2023 Warrior team. We were away last week and could not attend the tryouts but I had a controlled practice in my backyard with the neighborhood boys to showcase my son. We were able to FaceTime the coaches and evaluators today which is much better than sending tapes.
Anyone here anything yet?
Hear not here... get your son a tutor!

Seriously? That's insane! Sorry, but there's no way your neighborhood kids could compare to the amount of talent that actually attended the tryout. It's actually not fair that they would even allow that. The conditions are not the same at ALL! Did you have to pay the $185???

I think everyone realizes its not a showcase, in the true form of that. Someone sounds a little testy. 185$ not well spent? Put it towards tuition - the kids that are playing on 4 different teams, and summer camps, and private lessons, will be burned out and sick of it once they get 1/2 through high school. And YOUR dream of THEM committing will be over. Trust me , I am in the know!

I have pretty good kids in my neighborhood. We ran the pick and roll over and over. My son was LIT. We didn't have to pay because we did get the shirt and shorts. Conditions were exactly the same, sunny and 70 degrees.

I'm going to get a bunch of orange pinny's for next year for the neighborhood kids and work on 1 awesome play all year so that it looks phenomenal on HD video. I'll put it on a DVD and send it directly to 91 corporate headquarters. I'll even wait for a beautiful day to film it. Thank you 91 for sharing with us how to get this done with minimal effort.

And my buddies all thought I was nuts for doing the same thing with my daughter for the UA All-American underclassman selection committee. I'm not the only one.
We also couldn't make tryout, we were flying to Rome for breakfast so I built a full turf lacrosse field in the back yard and hired the entire NY Lizards team to do a video with my son! I think he has a good chance since he usually plays on the varsity team! Yuk yuk.
Rosters are out! Looks solid! Most Bandits and Express and a few names I don't recognize.
One was S2S, two were Igloo. I guess they tried to spread it around. It's a good looking team though
Where do you find the rosters?
Where is it posted?

Maybe because the slimebag rigged money grabbers have caused it to be this way? Just a logical thought.

Yeah, from his teacher. She told you that you should read with him instead of forcing him to play lax. donkey.
Come on... you really didn't think your son was going to make the team did you? Well, at least you know you were only paying for a good practice (not game). $185 Warrior/91/Channy practice was wayyyyy overpriced.

Guess you think your kid isnt good enough. This is all on Warrior they went to Express and 91 to run this region. They also went to other regions and asked the best clubs in those areas to run the ones there.
Why do people even care about this. I doubt the coaches care either its end of the summer and many kids will decline invite as it is expensive

Not all of us are worried about money. I own a tanning salon and a teeth whitening service. The little Bandit coach has already paid me enough for my kids to get through undergrad and grad school at Harvard. And I have 9 kids!
Making bank on short guys overcompensating!
Warrior names up--- gotta love the coaches sons/relatives on the team--
kids who werent at tryouts
whatever
kids who werent at tryouts
whatever
26 kids on 2023 total money grab
love the last names of kids on team, just like the coaches -- so unusual, and kids who werent at try outs on rooster
love the last names of kids on team, just like the coaches -- so unusual, and kids who werent at try outs on rooster
Kids have to actually accept playing
How can I see who made the team . My son did not try out but I am curious as to who made it . It sounds like they already knew who would be making the team and the rest was a money maker .

Every kid on the team was at tryout. Your kid just wasn't good enough. Reality is hitting you harder than Tyson right now. Roll with the punches and buy him a tennis racquet.
AJ's kid made it???? That is the biggest laugh of them all.
Nice job AJ, way to be unbiased. Daddy's boy, BM would have used better judgement.
I bet half the kids decline. The price is too high
Warrior posted the names on their Instagram page. Look for Warrior All-American team
The timing of this event is just as horrible as the price.
Was his son even at the tryout or was he one of the grantee spots

Classless. Glad your kid got cut from Express.
Regans another one. Horrible player. AJ's butt buddy.
What happened to the stud goalie Haugen had to have. Not as good as everyone thought. his name not on list
Hate the event leave kids names out Everyone is getting nuts over an overrated event that people will pay large amounts of wasted money for
Hey idiot. I'm still on Express. Just didn't
Make this team.
Make this team.

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

So true. 91 goalie, while good, was the worst at tryouts. Maybe he had a bad day, but his clears were terrible and he couldn't stop anything below his belt. Like I said, maybe just a bad day. But if this tryout had any legitimacy at all, that kid would not have made the team. That's one of about 4 GLARING errors with this roster where Bandits made it over others. Listen, every kid they're was very good, without exception, but this was supposed to be the best kids. A bunch of Bandits made it because their parents are on their knees in from of D-bag JS.
Express has the largest representation for a middle of the road team. People can beat up 9-1 but just look. My son did not make it and we used it as a Barometer. From an outsider Bandits should of had the most representation

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

Mentioning kids by name is not cool. Spew your venom & jealousy but leave the kids out of it.
One would think the best teams would have most kids but somehow express has by far the most hmmmm Channy made some decisions behind the scene

What is the break down of club teams of the kids that made it?
The express goalie was on vacation he didn't try out
He has the clears of a hs goalie he's good
He has the clears of a hs goalie he's good
Nah too prestigious
Agree with this post but the original is so true. Kid is horrible
This is nothing more than a $2500 total cost lacrosse tournament. You parents are nuts. It's 6th grade and none of this matters at all. There will not be one College coach taking notes on these kids. It's such a total waste of money. The competition between clubs on LI is more than enough for our kids to compete and get better. This roster far from respresents the best kids. Outside of JS kids who are very good; the other coaches kids don't belong and there were plenty of kids who didn't show up.
I would guarantee if we ran a FREE tryouts for a top team on LI kids and the cost to go to the tournament was free....... we'd compile a team of kids who would kick this teams A$$.

You are wrong. With the exception of a few players, these are the top 6th graders on LI. There are kids that could have or should have made the team instead of a few of the selected players but move on. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter but being selected gives the kids a boost of confidence which is immeasurable.
I wonder if the other regions are as messed up as LI and teams are determined ahead of tryouts?
Think the way Warrior set it up set people to select the team the way it was. All those kids on one field for only two hours provided very little opportunity for kids that were unknown to make an impact.

Some of the better kids didn't even tryout. Their parents dont need some bs money making scheme to legitimize their kids talent.
Team is not the best because my son isn't on it.

That is the Truth. While the kids selected are all great players. I know of 3 kids that tried out (not all 2023) and were not "known" kids but were tremendous players. Non of those 3 made the teams.
While everything people say is all true. But let's look at it this way. If playing on the best teams against the best teams wasn't important, we would all just play PAL. Whether this is all driven by parents, kids whatever, I think some kids/parents are driven by these mile stones / tryouts/ tourneys etc. whether it's Brine, warriors, under armour , etc etc. stick in hand is good. Unfortunately this is a complete rip off. No one needs a helmet, gloves, etc. brine is 400 all in. And you get 4 days. With games and practices
You don't even have to look at the names listed, to know that this was a complete fix for this money grab tournament.
Of the five age groups, who were taken, approximately 130 players.
At a $185 a clip to try out, over $24,000 made in just try out fees.
Not even including the players who didn't make the list, scholarships, and family legacies.
Fields, independent evaluation? Crap, crap and more crap.

I agree that they should have had the most players on the roster; however, that doesn't mean that they were ALL better than the rest. Every Bandit that tried out made the team and they werent the best ones there. It simply wasn't the case last Saturday, and it's not the case outside of last Saturday. The little righty attackmen (plural) were NOT better than everyone there. His son (not the faceoff kid) is NOT better than everyone there. The goalie was NOT better than everyone there. They should have 2 defensemen (legit, fast, aggressive kids), 3 mids (the better of the twins and the two others (all 3 were excellent) and the big lefty attack (one of the top players at the tryout). If he wanted to sneak another X man on, there could be a case made, but he wasn't better than the rest. Maybe just even. That's 7 kids. All great. But the rest were the same, or worse, than everyone else.

You are wrong. With the exception of a few players, these are the top 6th graders on LI. There are kids that could have or should have made the team instead of a few of the selected players but move on. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter but being selected gives the kids a boost of confidence which is immeasurable.
No they are not the best. Not when tryout was on a holiday week a day before Easter. Many top players simply did not tryout. Because they were away. That day was picked to reduce the numbers at tryout so they can dictate who was on the team. Any other weekend the field would have been larger and more diverse. See what happens next year if they pick a different weekend, many on team would not and should not be in this team.
You don't even have to look at the names listed, to know that this was a complete fix for this money grab tournament.
Of the five age groups, who were taken, approximately 130 players.
At a $185 a clip to try out, over $24,000 made in just try out fees.
Not even including the players who didn't make the list, scholarships, and family legacies.
Fields, independent evaluation? Crap, crap and more crap.

so funny i hope these 9D1 guys are looking at these posts...they are criminals...like Xpress...same [lacrosse] diff program...
The entire format was set up for failure Two hours with all those kids on one field lol and honestly there were no bad kids there Everyone there was good or great so at the end in such a small window the obvious happened. Quick question tho and I am Not judging but same exactly set up leg a sea and Igg are running a tryout w that many kids there and they have two hours to pick a team how would it shake out
Weird express as we all know has NOT been a very strong group since BM left yet they had the most kids make it Nobody finds tha strange
Spring tournaments are about to start. What are some of the tournaments teams are playing

Absolutely agree with above regarding timing of this "tryout" aka $185 practice. I also find it interesting that it was well after Brine tryouts - maybe to avoid other top kids (that are not on the 2 orgs that dictated this roster) who did not attend this tryout because they had already made or tried out for Brine. Why not make it before Brine or close to? See the best of the best show up to both. They didn't want that because roster was already selected so this made it less obvious (so they thought) because they had less to choose from. Same reason you didn't see a Bandit at Brine - they already knew they would be on this team.

Too many !! Channy can still pull strings
they should have given out binky's at tryout for all the whining that is going on
Anyone know of any good camps for players that are somewhat
new to the sport
new to the sport
what does brine have anything to do with this ?events are different times during summer
Unfortunately I have yet to find a camp that actually teaches lacrosse. Not a lot of teaching going on out there. Most camps are just kids showing off their skills and HS or college kids just babysitting.
curious Did anyone tryout for Warrior that made the Brine already? Since we are talking about top kids that would have made both teams.
My kid did the lax position camp run by rotanz 2 yrs ago, thought it was quality training, and I have no affiliation with the man or his organization

Out of curiosity, are they similar these 2 programs/teams? My son didn't try out this year for either but id be curious for feedback and educate myself to think about for next year if either might be the right fit for him.
How can he walk around coaching knowing his kid has no business on that team? People pay $185 to tryout and a AJ's kid takes a spot?? That's just wrong. Why would you expose your kid to such ridicule from other kids? They may be 12 but they see what's going on. The kid will be scared.
Correction "scarred"
Thank you BOTC
Turn the page people. It's over
More importantly tournament this weeekend. Would like to see a warrior v Express game
All the top kids were not there thats a fact. You had kids from Pequa Merrick Bellmore etc that were not there but are definitely as good as the kids that made it and some are better then the kids that made it. Unfortunately these kids are not in the in crowd JS or AJ friends and don't play on your so called top 5 teams. Theses parents don't care about the pathetic stupidity that goes on with what team there kid plays on. Good luck in the tournament hope you guys win a 12 year old tournament. My son will never try out for any of these teams until he hits 9th grade where it starts to mean something...
I agree with above ^^^^^. It really cracks me up how these parents act, they are so blinded by a name of a team not what there kid is actually learning. Good luck to 90+1 and Express u guys put a nice combo team. To all the Dads that think this is a father whose kid wouldn't make the team it's not he would make it but I want my kid to enjoy his childhood and not be consumed with winning a t-shirt.
Yeah awesome lacrosse in Bellmore an Merrick. True hotbeds. Why have him play for the big teams ever? Wont the college coaches will be lining up on your high school turf just to try to even make eye contact with Bellmore an Merrick lacrossrm

My son made the team and he's extremely excited about it. He really enjoys playing and has met a bunch of nice boys through playing for teams and in special events like this. I'm proud of him.
I think it's a great opportunity and to each his own. Why is it bothering so many

warriors should handle express white
Because parents dropped $185 on what was slated as an impartial tryout when in fact the team was prob 90% or more already determined before tryouts even occurred. And as long as patents keep buying into the hype of gotta have ur kid on an elite team to be successful this non sense will continue, and yes to each their own.

AJ's son is a good kid and anyone that is a jerk to him should be ashamed. He gets along with everyone and has tremendous upside. Was it wrong for him to take a spot away from another deserving player? Probably, but you can say the same about JS's sons. One is great and the other average. It's a package deal. You want JS / AH, you get their boys.
Flying really quiet through this is the Warriors 9+1 coach who works for the company warrior and is coaching the team. How many boys from his team made it? He coaches the second team in this age group. Looking forward to seeing my sons team play his team this weekend and see the level the boys are that made it at Spring Jam
Excited to see the boys get to compete this weekend !
Looking forward to the tournaments should be a nice weekend

Shove it A-Hole.
Tremendous upside????? You're kidding, right?
Tune in the last weekend of July to see the team assembled by "Bucky Beaver Teeth", and his side kick "Tanning Booth Boy", get their asses handed to them by some other regional team, that picked a team of the best players, rather then just another opportunity to showcase their players, (and get a couple hundred saps to foot the bill). Would be worth the drive to UMass to watch JS Spaz out, and have a [lacrosse] fit, when things don't do his way! What the [lacrosse] is happening to our sport?
did anyone get the gametimefootage we were promised from the warrior tryout?

The sad thing is the 9d1 players are good enough to beat any other regional. So they will win, it is just the truth.

Like everything else that too was probably a nice piece of bait to dangle in front of the parents. It would be interesting to see what their response would be if asked by a parent who's child did the tryout.
Let's grab all the kids who didn't want to spend the money on that money grab and for FREE, practice a few days a week and play this Warrior team. I would guarantee; this Warrior team would looooooooose big time.

Because it was not a fair and honest tryout.

They'll win every game by at least 10. The best kids were selected with the exception of 2 coaches kids.
We played Hills PAL already. BM coaching with the 91 coach. AJ just stands there in the back with his arms folded like he was sent to the principals office. Very funny to watch. AJ's kid plays and it doesn't look like BM treats him any differently.

Is there a schedule out for this weekend? I know we keep getting distracted by Lough B guy puppet Posting
Lough leaves Outlaws and is bitter channy put him as third coach of B team so he spews at the Express Squad. SO yes what is happening to our sport.
Schedule is out! 91 WArriors vs Express Haugen should be a good one.

People may not like the conversation and calling attention to an individual coaches kid but when you have big enough lacrosse balls to charge $185 for a tryout, have 100+ kids show up only to disregard the proper process by putting your son on the team when he has no business even being at tryouts AND to follow up that move with posting the roster online with his name on it which was an "[lacrosse]" to parents display of arrogance. Sorry AJ, You deserve the backlash and attention you and your kid is getting. Shows your true colors of being nothing more than a scumbag Express coach.

They also sometimes split teams up evenly and with my older kids they have come down with hold back kids that were grown men as they do things differently in New England. Regardless will be nice to see some games played

Lough is great coach. Boys love him and the better kids followed him to Express. Not a coincidence that his Express team has improved and his old Outlaws team is on the decline. But talk is cheap. Lets settle this on the field.
Weather looks great this weekend for the tournament

Bummer. You're stuck for the season. A guy like that will bench your kid if you talk to him. How many kids are on your sons team? Same mess as last year?

So I'm guessing that you son plays for either Express A and loses playing time to his son OR your son plays for Express B and you think he is good enough to play for A and his son is taking your son's spot. Either way, as upsetting as it is, there are politics to every sport, boys travel lax notwithstanding. You can look at every team from Bandits to Express, Igloo to Warriors, Empire to S2S, etc... and find a kid (or kids) that don't belong. That's how it goes. Is it fair? No. Will it change? No.
That tryout had 75-80 really good players show up. I saw the roster. There were 4-5, questionable players on the team. The Tan Man put a bunch on the team that did not belong and AJ put his son. But seriously, what did you expect? They asked AJ to coach prior to the tryout. Did you think he was not going to bring his son? Why do you think both of Tan Man's twins are on it? Did you really think he was leaving one home? Would you do that? I can tell you that I definitely would put my kid(s) on the team if I had to coach it.

At the Mesa Play Day, They had Green and White which struggled in the "B" division and Blue which did well except for a loss to Crabs. I would expect Black to be their AA team.
Top kids from Bandits and Express are some of the best kids on Long Island. There are top kids on Igloo, S2S, and Warriors. Top kids from some of the teams did not show up. That's their issue. This event brought out the best kids. Kudos to the boys who made it. They deserve it! May they learn from the experience and develop their games to a better level by attending?...... yes. Does it cost money? yes Good coaching? yes. Play against good competition? yes. Great experience hanging with different kids when away? yes. Let it go and see what happens when Igloo has their top 80 event!!!!!

Well, we pay too much to the club as it stands, and this is total bs. We are shamed on the public site because of our owners antics. We're not paying the fee next year. Maybe the club will then have to raise the 1 hour practice to $200.

Seriously People Posting in an Anonymous Forum about Fathers, Coaches and Sons....6th Grade Lacrosse...GET A LIFE!
Against my better judgement, I am writing this reply to several of things that have been posted about me, or several other people that are involved with the 2023 Lacrosse Community. I make it a practice to stay off of this website, because I think it has degenerated into a [lacrosse] and complaint site rather then it's original purpose, for people to share information about the Sport of Lacrosse.
I have coached the game of Lacrosse for better then fifteen years at both the PAL and travel levels, and been fortunate to be part of several quality organizations, such as my home town Rough Rider Program, the Long Island Outlaws, and the Long Island Express. I coached four years with the Outlaws and had the opportunity to coach a lot of great kids, and make some great friendships with their families. I have no issues with it's Leadership in Pat Brennan or his son's. I have a Great deal of respect for Mike Brennan as a coach and as a person, and I count him as a friend. My move to the Express with my sons was a personal choice made within my family. I currently have the opportunity to coach both a 2023 and a 2019 team with the Express, and I am fortunate to be able to continue to work with and learn from two Extremely Experienced Coaches in Karl Hedstrom and Doug Schrieber, and both of my sons are having very positive experiences, playing with their teams.
For those of you that make comments about AJ Haugen and especially his son, you should be ashamed of yourself. AJ's Lacrosse pedigree speaks for itself, different then a lot of people that hold themselves out as an authority on this website, and are all too quick to criticize those that coach! To call someone a scumbag, or a group of coaches scumbags is just ignorant and cowardice. More importantly anyone that makes disparaging remarks about any child on this website needs counseling. My son did not make AJ's team at last years try-outs, because he did not perform well enough at try-outs to warrant replacing one of the players on the team. He was the first to admit it, after the try-out results were posted.
I take exception with people making comments about either my son or myself under the protection of posting anonymously. Those of you whose sons I have coached, know that I care very much about the boys in my charge, and that I care about the experience that they have with me as their coach. Does my style gel with everyone, probably not, but isn't that usually the case. If you have an issue with me, have the courage to take it up with me directly.
For all the people that spend countless time on this website: If you don't like your sons travel organization, it's leadership or their coach, go somewhere else. There are plenty of choice available on Long Island. For those of you that don't like how the Empire, Brine or Warrior Teams are selected, speak with your wallet, and just don't try-out. Your sons future in the sport of lacrosse will not be defined by whether or not they make one of these teams in sixth grade.
I was recently told that Mike Chanenchuk Jr. was cut from the Empire team,when he tried out, and obviously things worked out OK for him.
I'll end this here, but not anonymously,

For all the people that spend countless time on this website: If you don't like your sons travel organization, it's leadership or their coach, go somewhere else. There are plenty of choice available on Long Island. For those of you that don't like how the Empire, Brine or Warrior Teams are selected, speak with your wallet, and just don't try-out. Your sons future in the sport of lacrosse will not be defined by whether or not they make one of these teams in sixth grade.
I was recently told that Mike Chanenchuk Jr. was cut from the Empire team,when he tried out, and obviously things worked out OK for him.

Bravo Coach Lough! Always a gentleman!
You totally missed the point Pat and what does AJ's pedigree have to do with it? His kid took away a spot of a kid who paid $185 and is most likely better and deserving of the spot. That is flat out wrong. Plenty of coaches out there doing their thing without having to compromise the integrity of a tryout. PAL is where Daddy coaches should be. When it comes to families laying out money, Daddy coach needs to put his personal situation aside and do what is right. If he can't, don't coach.
This could have all been avoided if Warrior put up a disclaimer prior to tryouts stating that the 3 coaches boys will be guaranteed a spot. Maybe 10 less kids show up but at least it would have been upfront and transparent.

It really shouldn't be a mystery that the coaches would have their son's on the team. Maybe you carry a larger roster to allow for the three spots given to the coaches sons, and still carry the 23 or whatever number is deemed to be the ideal number for the roster. I was present at the try-outs, and my son did not make the team. I personally though that he had a great try-out, but since I don't make those decisions, I had to go along with it like everyone else whose son was not offered a spot. My larger concern was that evaluations should be done by an impartial group that does not have a connection to one of the travel programs, and therefore no vested interest in who makes the team other then the best players. This goes back to Warrior or Brine or whoever delegates the selection process to local folks, rather then having a team that would travel from location to location doing the evaluations. I would have liked to see more diversity of players representing more teams and organizations, but when the teams were split one team (91 and Express A), and one team everyone else for the scrimmage part of the try-outs, it was pretty clear how things were going to go. As I mentioned in my post, I will definitely think twice before plunking down a couple hundred dollars for one of these try-outs again. I don't know about Joe Spallina, but I do know AJ was specifically asked to coach this team, it was not something he sought to do. I also don't believe the choice of putting his son on the team was completely his to make. Just my opinion.

Also, it was crap when you know who walked down the line counting a kid to a number and purposely skipped numbers around when they organized the game. You think the kids didn't realize that? You think the kids are stupid in 6th grade? Not! They know exactly what crap favoritism is and what it looks like. They come home and tell us what happened at the line up. when more than one kid says the same thing you realize they didn't make it up.

Wow what a great statement. Is your PAL team with all outlaws, honey badgers and such still playing in the D division of PAL and winning games by 10 goals?
Funny also how posted and says"I dont ever post or read this site yet has posted twice in last hour. Playing Low level PAL w a team of travel players. you can sign your name and act the part but people know how you rant and rave. You even posted how your son had such a great tryout and should of made it. PLEASE We know you! You sign your name after ripping people to cover your tracks, Express will be better when your gone
Why do you think coaches coach their kids ? To get them on teams
I think it should have been assumed that the coaches sons would be on the team --- what's the incentive for them to coach ?
I think the problem is not fairly looking at the other 100 plus boys that tried out and divided the teams into express bandits and everyone else ---

I knew this was a bad idea, my sixth grade PAL team if that is what you are speaking of has 16 players, four of which play for the Express, two that play for Igloo, and one that plays for the Outlaws, the other nine play spring PAL only. Sorry that it worked out that way, and we play in Division II.
Guy never comes on this site is up to three posts in a few hours. Should of just said I don't usually sign my name lolol

You play in division II. I guess enough people complained to PAL that you were playing in the D division the past few years. Yes you're a role model sorry people talked about you. I have 6 travel players on my team. How about the other teams with none in your division. Oh why don't you tell us about the scores of your games the past few years..
Obviously you are a hater whose son is on the c team, didnt make warrior and his PAL team beat-- get a life buddy and some class

No you play in the c division, white. So you have a travel starting line Up and are destroying teams. Your average game is won by 8 goals. I checked and can post scores of you like. Most Pal teams are good with 2-3 travel players who can control the game. You have 7, should be playing in B if not A.

He's used the same excuse each year that this is the division that PAL placed him in. Ha Ha ha. he is too funny. I like the post though but people here know you and have encountered you over the years so please go preach how it's about the kids someplace else.
Oh you have the b###S to write your name, and count how many times he posted---

Wow, a failure to my son. How is it sitting in the cheap seats. Not everyone can have 15 years experience as a coach. At least I can teach my kids how to write. Your amazing lacrosse player son will work for him some day and we will laugh about what a failure we were at PAL lacrosse in 6th grade.
Ok angry daddy, sorry but your son won't amount to much especially if he is anything like you. Someone who posts anonymously and bashes people all because his son lost a game. You are in the running for loser of the yea, I bet your wife drives you from the games because your so angry that you lost....get over yourself

Coach,
While my son does not play on your team, I would like to thank you and all the coaches in both Travel and PAL. You sacrifice your time and family so we can all watch our kids play a sport they enjoy.
You know you can't win when no matter what you do it's wrong. You lose and your an awful coach, you win and your a psychopath that plays kids older than the group you coach or you play down. You cut kids and it's cause of politics.
People are always gonna cry about stuff, but none of them will ever step up to try and change it. They certainly are not going to sacrifice their free time or stand in front of you to talk about their concerns. Keep doing what your doing.

I have no issues with it's Leadership in Pat Brennan or his son's. I have a Great deal of respect for Mike Brennan as a coach and as a person, and I count him as a friend. My move to the Express with my sons was a personal choice made within my family. I currently have the opportunity to coach both a 2023 and a 2019 team with the Express, and I am fortunate to be able to continue to work with and learn from two Extremely Experienced Coaches in Karl Hedstrom and Doug Schrieber, and both of my sons are having very positive experiences, playing with their teams.
For those of you that make comments about AJ Haugen and especially his son, you should be ashamed of yourself. AJ's Lacrosse pedigree speaks for itself, different then a lot of people that hold themselves out as an authority on this website, and are all too quick to criticize those that coach! To call someone a scumbag, or a group of coaches scumbags is just ignorant and cowardice. More importantly anyone that makes disparaging remarks about any child on this website needs counseling. My son did not make AJ's team at last years try-outs, because he did not perform well enough at try-outs to warrant replacing one of the players on the team. He was the first to admit it, after the try-out results were posted.
I take exception with people making comments about either my son or myself under the protection of posting anonymously. Those of you whose sons I have coached, know that I care very much about the boys in my charge, and that I care about the experience that they have with me as their coach. Does my style gel with everyone, probably not, but isn't that usually the case. If you have an issue with me, have the courage to take it up with me directly.
For all the people that spend countless time on this website: If you don't like your sons travel organization, it's leadership or their coach, go somewhere else. There are plenty of choice available on Long Island. For those of you that don't like how the Empire, Brine or Warrior Teams are selected, speak with your wallet, and just don't try-out. Your sons future in the sport of lacrosse will not be defined by whether or not they make one of these teams in sixth grade.
I was recently told that Mike Chanenchuk Jr. was cut from the Empire team,when he tried out, and obviously things worked out OK for him.
I'll end this here, but not anonymously,
Patrick Lough
Coach,
While my son does not play on your team, I would like to thank you and all the coaches in both Travel and PAL. You sacrifice your time and family so we can all watch our kids play a sport they enjoy.
You know you can't win when no matter what you do it's wrong. You lose and your an awful coach, you win and your a psychopath that plays kids older than the group you coach or you play down. You cut kids and it's cause of politics.
People are always gonna cry about stuff, but none of them will ever step up to try and change it. They certainly are not going to sacrifice their free time or stand in front of you to talk about their concerns. Keep doing what your doing.
Nah - you just prove time and time again how angry you are, no bashing here just calling you out for the coward you consistently show you are. Enjoy your anonaminity life.
CMON guys! This thread is so damn slow today. Someone get offended and respond in kind. PLEASE!!!

You play in division II. I guess enough people complained to PAL that you were playing in the D division the past few years. Yes you're a role model sorry people talked about you. I have 6 travel players on my team. How about the other teams with none in your division. Oh why don't you tell us about the scores of your games the past few years..
Beat harborfields 8-1. Beat bayville 10-2. Beat bethpage 6-2. All with four goal rule. Outscored teams 24-5. PAL Parity.
Ok coach thanks for the score updates, sorry your team lost. If you were a better coach to the kids then maybe they would play competitively in games. So until you post your name and town to what you pos you aret just an angry failure to your son and team.

What do you mean PAL wouldn't comply?? Two years in a row, our PAL director placed us is a higher division than we should have been BY ACCIDENT. We didn't win any/many games (1 maybe?), but in the end it was probably better for the boys.
wth are u talking about ? Are you for or against playing in a tough division ? Someone has to lose.
Come on Pat Lough tell us how you feel.
So what are you thinking for tomorrow? Going to be a beautiful day for lax! Some really solid teams going head to head; it is finally starting to feel like travel season!
Express having a lot of trouble today. Tied an average Laxachusettes team and just tied Warriors. Making all those changes and the team is worse than it's ever been. BM must be laughing hard today. Go get 'me AJ!!!! Nice job. Did you start your son???
They just won 6-3 but stuggled. They will get beat up this year for sure. wMVmUn

You're an idiot. Both teams are far above whatever [lacrosse] team your kid plays for since he got cut from Express. Watch the game not the scores and you'll see.
Ahhhhhhhh he plays for the Bandits. But ok.

I have a great one thanks. Like today for example, inbetween my younger son's games enjoyed myself watching Express struggle against mediocre teams at best. Most Overrated team in the grade.

You're an idiot. Enough with you obsession with an and the gadgets. I am sure your son is happy where he is despite your craziness. The fact that you called lax black and warriors average should be enough to confiscate your phone. Maybe express is struggling, maybe not. maybe other teams are getting closer. Just relax with your obsession. Getting creepy.

You're the idiot. Fact is Express' so called "A" team goes into an obvious "B" level tournament ( no igloo, no STS, no Bandits ) and had a hard time getting it done. 2 ties and barely winning the ship. They are just not the team they used to be. Warriors have improved. Lax Black have improved etc.. Express have Not and are not the Honey Badger team they used to be.

Pat's back
He never left. He's coaching tornados and seems happy doing it. Express and Channy are cancer. Very bad for the sport.
Third that. AJ is a nice guy but not a good coach.
Torados are much better because of the efforts of all 3 coaches. Will they beat AJ, probably not because of possessions. Faceoffs are a big part of winning at this age. Player for player; Tornados match up really well against the Express
I was told by someone very very close to the top Brass at express. Parents went complaning and wanted him back. 2 Express Directors behind Channy's back spoke to BM about returning and he declined the offer.

Move on from this ridiculous rant about coaching!!!! Discuss lacrosse for crying out loud. Long Island lax is a hit
But express kid is a phenom

I'd be really [lacrosse]ed off if that happened to my team. I would demand that the owner not play that kid. I feel bad for the Express parents who take that kind of bs.
Parents are what you would expect INSANE
Express Haugen has such good athletes. Its a shame they are not in the same category as Bandits. I've seen the Bandits practice and its pretty impressive.

The Bandits have not even practice this year. Why do watch other teams practice, anyway? You drove all the way to Bayport last summer? How many teams were practicing there when you watched them? You're so transparent and your lies are a clear indication of your insecurities.

He's a holdback player. He would be an old 7th grader. Technically a 2023 since he was reclassed so the team will play that card; however, he's not on their roster. He plays on Express's 2022AA team. They would have lost to Laxachusettes Black and Warriors without him. I'm fine with it if he plays for them all season and not 2022, but that's just not going to happen.
You're fine. Who says you have a say in this matter. Mind your own business.

Not sure why you would be fine if he played with the 2023 team - isn't that the whole point of the other person's post?

More fake news. The kid has been on the roster since Sept. A good player yes - but a phenom , I don't think so.
Warriors had a big defenseman who basically neutralized both express righty attackman. But you had to actually be there and watch the two games the teams played each other to know that
12yr. old phenom is correct. watched him play. kids got skill. Heard he's a 23 playing up on 22AA.

That's a lot to be playing down. Maybe they should move to Maryland! Why would a parent do that? Especially knowing that everyone knows how old he is and how much flack they're going to take all season. It's gotta effectvthevkid at some point.
Seen a 2023 goalie at warriors tryout with 2022 kids, would have dominated his grade why play up!
Warrior defenseman was good only one righty attackman I saw on HB that is a dominate player which the warriors locked on him. I guess they need to work on getting that kid open.

They can lock on him all they want - they still lost. Maybe the Warrior defense needs to lock onto a few other players. Games are not won by shutting down one player.

Dominant or Righty Dominant as in can't go left?
Is there any reason - with all of the very good to excellent travel teams on Long Island - there arent more local tournaments that these guys want to play in? Why travel anywhere? Or travel much less? A travel league of sorts? Someone enlighten me please.

No. My kid would much rather play local tournaments. Maybe one travel tournament would be nice, but this club traveling stuff is nonsense. Don't need to go to Maryland to play against teams 10 miles from us. It's just a cash cow for these owners.

They're called travel teams for a reason. There are plenty of teams that your son can play on that will stay on the island. Do a little research and you'll easily find one. My son's team goes to Maryland and Philly every year and it's awesome! The kids love going to the beach or the pool (or just running around the hotel and laughing) and the parents have a lot of fun too! It's part of the experience and the kids will remember the away tourneys. Also, if everyone played in the same local tournaments every year, the same teams would face each other over and over.

They face the same Long Island teams in PA and MD, but thanks club owner for the terrible input.

They play "the same teams . . . (and) face each other over and over" even when you go away - that's the point!
Really? it's about sleeping in a hotel? What bs. It's about "my kid is better than yours at lacrosse". That's' why you do it.

I'm not sure what tournaments you go to. When we go down to Maryland, my son's team plays Annapolis Hawks, Looney's, FCA, Bethesda, Madlax, etc... those teams don't come to LI in the summer. When we go to Philly, we played Brotherly Love, Dukes, Mesa, Patriot, etc... those teams don't come to LI in the summer either. Sure, they may also play some LI teams (S2S, Bandits, Warriors, Express or Igloo will all play in those tourneys) and Laxachusettes, but those are the teams you want to play and you don't get them every week.
Maybe your son's team needs to find better and more diverse tourneys. Speak to the coach about it. If that doesn't work, find another team that plays locally.
It sounds to me that you just don't like the whole lacrosse experience. If that's the case, you're probably projecting that negativity on your son (intentionally or unintentionally) which will very likely sour him on the sport as a whole.
I'm not being critical; travel lax is not for everyone. But, if your son really enjoys it, then there is likely a better spot for him (and you) on another team.

I'd love to see the tax returns for these travel/club teams, then maybe some of these parents who think these tournaments are for the kids might wake up.
If LI wasn't so stupid to travel to MD and Philly every weekend, then maybe those teams would come to us. They're not stupid. They know they have plenty of their own good teams why waste the money. Keep pounding your chest Dad. Sounds like you need a reality check

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBingo. Do you see those teams coming to LI? Between NY, NJ, and CT a travel league would be a great settup. Day trips, not full weekends. Some families have more then one shining 6th grade lacrosse star. I like the idea of a travel league - then maybe a year end tournament. But, cash lining the pockets of someone...and it sure is not the parents, players, or coaches. JOKE. But, if your child actually has some skill - you have no choice - and follow the lemmings.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBingo. Do you see those teams coming to LI? Between NY, NJ, and C a travel league would be a great settup. Day trips, not full weekends. Some families have more then one shining 6th grade lacrosse star. I like the idea of a travel league - then maybe a year end tournament. But, cash lining the pockets of someone...and it sure is not the parents, players, or coaches. JOKE. But, if your child actually has some skill - you have no choice - and follow the lemmings.
So you just don't like travel lacrosse. That's basically what you're saying. Maryland, DC and NOVA have a substantially larger oil of teams than LI. Or at least more highly competitive teams. If you want to play crappy teams from Ct, Upstate and NJ, then there are teams here that do that. Unfortunately, none of those teams are very good. If your son plays on a second teir team, then your format is absolutely the best one; however, there are teams that don't want to blow out a bunch of teams every week. That's not fun. Teams, players and coaches seek out challenges. Clearly that is not a priority for you. And that's fine.
Not what he said, but no surprise that u didn't understand him. My son's team won all his tournaments in MD and Philly last year. And almost always met a LI team in the finals. You're just a dad who needs to brag that he travelled to MD and Philly as if it means your son is the best in the country. Plenty of talent on LI. One day trips sound so much better than entire weekends. And maybe one weekend at end of the season. Club owners love Dads like you. That's how they make their living.

You're out of your mind. I said my kid plays in Maryland and Philly. 2 away tournaments. The rest are local. However, the away tournaments are a lot more fun for him and our family.
By the way, one day trips are a complete hassle. I'm sure in your unrealistic utopian lax world, all away games would be a 1:00 in the afternoon, right? Well, that's not reality. I'm doing the upstate/PA/CT one day tourneys with my younger daughter. It sucks. Leaving the house at 4:30 in the morning makes for a wasted day for a kid. I'd much rather spend a weekend somewhere different than go to the same damn field every week.
Obviously you're using your grocery money to keep your kid in travel lax and it's getting too much for you. Good things cost money. I bet you're the dad that won't pay for fall or winter trainings either, right? Well guess what, that hurts the team. If you can't swing the whole nut, don't do it. That's all there is to it.
Anyone know a sight where there is actual 2023 Lacrosse information. All I ever see on here is J**k**f dads complaining about whose kid is better, which team is better, which tournament is better pretty pathetic... I will say you guys do make me laugh, thank you for that...

I'm guessing he's on the Bandits then, considering they won the NXT Cup in Philly and played S2S in the final (and most of the other bigger LI travel clubs were there). Then I'm correct in the assumption that you're sick of paying the "Bandit Tax". The travel and extras involved with that team are just ridiculous. I feel your pain. However, that's the only team like that. That's what you get when you get into bed with JS, and let's face it, you knew it going in. If you can't afford to be on the team, then find another team. Most people (besides you and the other chump on here complaining) thoroughly enjoy traveling. That's why we have our kids playing on travel lacrosse teams. Everyone knows what is involved with their current team; it's not like they surprised anyone with all of the additional travel and fees.
Your problem is that you want to eat Filet Mignon on a hamburger budget. It doesn't work that way.

You mean like NLF on LI? Last June, Eclipse (CT), BLC, Crabs and Annapolis Hawks (Md), Primetime and Express North (Upstate), Leading Edge (NJ), Big 4 HHH and Superstar (Pa) and Laxachusettes (Ma) came into town? And the next NLF on LI in July? Maybe your team doesn't get to play in the right tournaments. Teams don't have to. They choose to because the coaches, parents and players want to.

2 tournaments those teams come up here in exchange for us going down there 2 times. That seems fair enough. Plus, some teams (Madlax comes to mind) play in laxfest. Get your facts straight before you complain.
U have to pay to play on long island, sometimes a years tuition worth

Three teams having fun with some mini scrimmages to start the season. Relax. That possible for you?

Pretty evenly matched up. Each team played one another for about 20-25 minutes and etc team won and lost one. Warriors beat Outlaws (5-2), S2S beat Warriors (6-5) and Outlaws beat S2S (3-1)
91 beat outlaws. S2S beat 91 , outlaws beat S2S

Great time. Excellent warmup for the summer. There should be some great lax played by all of them this year.

It's very apparent with all the warrior and SYAG comments that the s@&$ stirrers on here are parents who's kids are on both. We realize you want to relevant. Pathetic and being that it's only 2/3 of you on both keep your head on a swivel this summer after bashing kids and programs on here. You weren't that much better than the outlaws

Gold beat S2S.
It was a great night of short scrimmages. Boys got to play their game without the pressure and nonsense of a tournament. Teams were evenly matched and each team made the other better players last night. What it should be in the spring.
Would love to know what team had the parent who was video recording the scrimmage --- really guy??!!!?!

It's also very apparent how pathetic grown men like yourself are talking about 11 yr old kids.

Your comment intimates the Warriors are not good so shut your mouth. I think the comment is misplaced. Both the Warrior team and S2S teams are very talented. The scrimmage just proved there is parity amongst players in this age group and that games can be competitive in the future.
Outlaws Select 2023 have kept their mouth shut all year even after being bashed by parents of former players. They are a good team and getting better but are not making any claims at being the best. They just want to compete and to continue getting better.

I must have missed all of the Warrior or SYAG comments. Last night was a good night for all of the boys on all 3 of the teams. I'm looking forward to some more meeting as the season gets going.

yes thank you, I was equally confused. No one mentioned SYAG or Warriors, just spoke about scrimmages, which looked real good last night.
Sounds like someone else above is trying to stir the pot here with mention of SYAG and Warriors.
Gold beat S2S. [/quote]
I did hear that S2S was missing 6 players of which 4 were starters and 1 was their faceoff guy (they only had 5 subs - 4 and a goalie). So I'm not sure if that that was a fair judgment of them. I would have liked to see all teams at even strength. But hopefully we will see them again in the summer. Overall it was a great, relaxed event. There should be more of these...

That was Select? Well then you should have sent out the Gold team to win your battle.
That's the same guy who took the videos of the smash games.
Real classy guy. Just stands in front of people.

Try this line, "Excuse me" gets them every time!!
he stood in the back of the stands last night. Not sure if it was for the unobstructed view or he was hiding because he would be embarrassed if anyone else saw he was recording a 20 minute scrimmage of 6th graders!
OL Select have kept their mouths shut all year, hmmm. You sure you wanna go with that? Good to see you're now making friends with S2S and Warriors - head on a swivel, so sad - you stay classy Huntington!

Embarrassed?? He does it because the parents and the players like to watch them afterward. The kids learn from their mistakes and the parents who could not attend appreciate being able to watch when they can. Even the grandparents who can't attend like watching them. Some of you will tear apart just about anybody huh? Move onto something else and stay off a parent who is just doing something nice for his team.

If you are trying to be funny, you are not. You are just embarrassing yourself as everyone there agreed it was a good primer for the start of spring/summer lacrosse. You make wisea$$ comments to hide your tremendous insecurity. If your kid is a great player you wouldn't be propping him up by putting every other team/player down. Get back on the unemployment line so that you don't lose your place or get a life and enjoy some good lacrosse.
I have seen this before. Maybe it was the Honey Badgers camera man that was video taping their games last tournament . I saw him taping the Championship game between Express and the Warriors for sure. Or the Titans professional camera man that video tapes their games. Either way who cares . Secondly I am equally confused as to the Syag comment only reference I saw was the Epic one. How does that link to the Warriors?

A 2024 likely plays up with the 2023's. He probably plays with his friends on the town team. Same with the 2022 Express kid that plays with his 2023 SWR PAL team. Either way, not a big deal.

He's 2024, playing up with S2S. Imagine that in this ridiculous sport where it seems like everybody holds their kid back. Used to be the best players did exactly what this boy is doing to improve their skills. Now there are so many sandbaggers you can have an 11 year old 6th grader playing alongside a 13 year old and the 11 year old is the one who people think is average. Makes the sport a joke but whatever, the trolls on this site will say I'm whining.
Can't comment on him never coming off the field in PAL. Seems like an issue the other parents should address with the coach, if they even care.
Steange that S2S has 2024s on the roster. Normally DK likes to cheat with 2022s. Or is that an Igloo only thing?
Igloo. Checkout some of the new players from Huntington this year. Pretty sure I heard they played for Outlaws 2022 last year.

Remover the Titans. They'll bash your head in.
Guess that's why Igloo didn't go to Dicks this year! Gonna be interesting to see how they meet the age or grade based tournaments this year with their roster! If they played 2022 last year they aren't holdbacks. Not sure what you call older kids playing down who aren't holdbacks !
Games maybe. 20 minute scrimmages ... cmon

No 2023 Igloo players who left the Outlaws are 2022. All legit. No need to spread false rumors Outlaw coach. Don't be disgruntled.

Igloo is going to [lacrosse]'s this year.... you are incorrect.
It was a real shame today at the Koehler Tournament. A travel team from Florida came up and spanked everyone. It was rumored that they were a U13 and as if that wasn't enough, they enlisted the help of a few SWR boys (one of which is the 2022 Express kid). So we got to stand around in the rain all day whil a travel team of kids a year older chest their way to the championship. That's for proving that there are no real town tournaments anymore. I know my sons team one be back.
Remember the purpose of this memorial tournament.
Stop your crying. It's a great tournament for a great cause. Your sons team won't be back is your towns choice. If you are only there for the t-shirt get a life. Think of all the hard work the director puts in to put this together for the memory of his son and to raise money. So 1 team slips through the cracks. This money is not going to some teams pocket like most other tournaments. As a matter of fact this is probably the first year it went to a championship format.

I heard there was a U13 team up here. That's a pretty low class move. Not just older kids. Not just a travel team. Not just bringing on LI ringers. A travel team of older kids who also brought in ringers.

You actually get a medal for winning. I can send you a pic if you want
Your just upset because you had Queen we are the champions already to go for the ride home and some team from florida ruined it for you
I can't believe a team would intentionally fly for a town tournament. If they they did have local kids then they must have know. Even if everything is true I however feel that the blame is misplaced. This tournament is a charity tournament and some sort of moral obligation is placed on the coaches when fielding a team.

Why can't you believe that? Was this your 1st tournament?
Not first tournament. Seems like way to much effort and cost for what? Not like they are playing in their back yard. Travel all that way to not have any competition in the middle of rain storm? Just can't see it myself but if you can then more power to you.
It's s real shathat adults would capitalize on somebody else's miss happens why to make them feel better about themselves their kids suck and so does the blonde bombshell

Ur too stupid to know how to spell correctly and express ur donkey opinion, it's not whining when u expose a team for not playing by the rules. And thx for offer but u can keep ur picture for yourself and hang it on ur trophy wall. And for the idiot who stated their a team from Florida, ur even less intelligent than the whining idiot(hopefully next tournament they can get their team to actually wear the same uniform and not hand out pinneys in the parking lot), fun tournament, great cause, hope "town" team parkland enjoys their win with the * attached, real classy organization...

Yeah something didn't seem right for a "town team", they were way too skilled, Now I don't feel so bad our team lost to them,hope they enjoy the T-shirt and plane ride home
You actually get a medal for winning. I can send you a pic if you want
Ur too stupid to know how to spell correctly and express ur donkey opinion, it's not whining when u expose a team for not playing by the rules. And thx for offer but u can keep ur picture for yourself and hang it on ur trophy wall. And for the idiot who stated their a team from Florida, ur even less intelligent than the whining idiot(hopefully next tournament they can get their team to actually wear the same uniform and not hand out pinneys in the parking lot), fun tournament, great cause, hope "town" team parkland enjoys their win with the * attached, real classy organization...
It's hilarious that UR calling someone stupid and calling out there spelling. You sir are a moron with your incoherent sentence. Quit crying and read a book. Maybe hooked on phonics.

This money is not going to some teams pocket like most other tournaments. As a matter of fact this is probably the first year it went to a championship format.
It's always been championship format. And if he wants to continue supporting his cause, then he should do his homework. I know for a fact that 3 2023s won't be back next year, Parkland being one of them. There are rules for a reason donkey. They could've come up next week and played in Blatants 2022 division.

That's a BS cop-out. No one likes when teams do this. When a team comes from Florida, it's not a town team. It should have been made clear to the director.
People, all the personal insults hit back and forth over the net over 6th grade lacrosse?
Ever hear of a straw man argument? Where one person posts a lie, then everyone attacks someone else based on the lie? The Parkland team was a Parkland team. U13 means the kids are under 13. You, like 12 and 11. There were 6 10 year olds on that team. The travel team that played Express Haugen on Friday was composed of Long Island kids and Florida kids - not the same team. And for the wire loser from Express, it was a regulation game, regulation time, 2 refs. So were the Parkland games. Parkland U11 and U13 are both top teams in south Florida going undefeated this year in Florida and now NY. Stop embarrassing kids on here with your made up stories about pinnies in a parking lot. PS: we all know exactly who the authors of these posts are. For that, your kid will remain an outsider without a team to call home.
Us lacrosse U13. Born late 2003 and 2004. Is that 2023?
Sorry for the error about championship format. Our town was never wrapped up in that. We were there just to support the the foundation. Hope it was not too much trouble cancelling the pre planned parade you had for today in town banking on that MEDAL.
Is Joey S a 2022? Funny that he's playing warrior as a 7th grader
Here's an idea. Put your B teams in the B brackets. Smithtown had a 6'2 215lb kid and that was fine when he trucked 75lb kids all day.
For many years the bandits, none living in Rocky point, all played as Rocky point and beat up on town teams. Manhasset is Sea to Shore, igloo is South Shore thunder, Mount Sinai black is now 91 bandits, Westhampton is E3... and so on and so on and so on. all of the a teams and AA teams are full of holdbacks. If your team cannot compete with the big money grab teams, it's because you are following rules that are NEVER followed by the winners of all of the tournaments. Riverhead had seventh graders on the field yesterday playing with sixth graders in the B division. Their excuse, the same as yours, he is age-appropriate under some obscure rule.

Maybe because he is a 2022.
He's 2022 on paper. Holdback/reclass
Keep reclassifying him and he'll have to play up to play on the team with his little brothers
I'm the coach of the Riverhead 5/6th grade team that played yesterday. Stop trying to deflect what you did yesterday by saying such a thing. Understand I don't need to bring in ringers to try to win a T-shirt. We actually had 11 2024 players playing yesterday, the smallest of all teams on the field in our bracket. If you would like to discuss this a bit further, you know how to get in contact with me. So no need for an excuse, unlike you...

Parkland is not a town. The SWR kids are not from Florida. If they wanted to come play travel teams they should have come up and played a travel tournament. Without the LI helpers. That team is a joke. The coaches are chumps.

Parkland is not a town??

Riverhead has done it before. Coaches kid played for Connetquot in this tournament a few years back. Leopards can't change their spots.
SWR is trash plain and simple! Doesn't matter what age, what grade, they pull their cheating shenanigans everywhere. Must be the water. While I know that this is a 2023 thread, Fifth grade (2024) is worse. Their Longboads SWR "town team" will cheat as long as it benefits the coaches kids. Those kids have the worst sportsmanship I have ever seen. The only good thing that town had is long gone. Although it probably stung, I'm sure Rotanz is over the moon to be rid of such garbage. That school board did him a huge favor.

Listen, whatever happened in the past is that. His "and your" story, not mine. Glad you cleared that up for me.
I hope you have a great travel season. Best of luck to you and yours... Cheers.

What the connection with Riverhead and Parkland? I saw the riverhead players on the sideline with Parkland one game. Seems pretty fishy to me.
Parkland coaches were riverhead coaches in the past. Time to focus on more important things than who the 10 year olds are talking to. Have a goodnight.
Trashing little Napoleon Long boarder is too easy -
It's over .
It's over .
Stop associating SWR in this chain. It's a few bad eggs that they think walk on water. I'm annoy hownor about SWR is about. These kids go to private school
Your point is mute buddy. Your original oost was that we had 7th graders playing. Then you change the story to something from several years ago. Pick your point and stay with it. Once again, best of luck to you and yours for the summer.

Seems to me like a guy with some integrity who actually uses his initials so he can be identified! Cheers Coach
Who are your referring to? I can tell you that you haven't been arguing with me - the coach you think you're arguing with. People can say anything on here to make it appear like an attack from anyone toward anyone. I don't live in forums, I live in Parkland, Florida and Long Island. So do the people being attacked for playing in that freezing cold, rainy, windy Tournament. I coached those riverhead kids since they were in first grade. That's why they hung around my sidelines.. These forum rants are started and perpetuated by some very ugly minded people with the agenda to create drama. Games are played and kids move on while this nonsense occurs for weeks afterward. We're already on to another city and another state. Enjoy your summer

Get over it already. 2 players ended up playing for Connetquot back in 3rd grade and the boys are now in 6th grade. Last time I checked it doesn't take just two boys to beat a team. It takes an entire team! Move on!
PAL. Lololol

Not really. At this age (and younger) 2 kids can win a game/tournament. That's the thing about cheating. Your program loses credibility.

That's BS and you know it! So when you're down half your team, do you pull out of the tournament or play because its for a good cause (memorial tournament). Two players didn't make that team win. That team already had enough talent at that age. Don't hear anyone complaining when EI stacked their team full of Legacy boys a few years back! Parkland had an entire team full of out of state kids and kids in other towns. That's cheating in a Town tournament.

Wow. Can everyone stop crying about this. Who cares if they took kids from where ever. Is it really that big of a deal? People always making excuses and finding reasons why they lost. They lost cause the other team played better. "Wah, it's not fair." Life's not fair. Teach your kids that and move on. Geez!

You should reach out to your team ahead of time to make sure that they can attend. If you end up not being able to field a team last minute, you drop out and they still put your money to a good cause. You never bring in outsiders or you'll get the reputation of a cheating program. Conn, Riv, EI, and Parkland are all cheaters. I don't differentiate. Like the old saying goes, you can't be a little pregnant.

Cheating is never acceptable; especially when you're teaching young impressionable children that it's fine to win by any means necessary. That goes against all of the values that we as parents, and sports in general, try to instill in our children. You can teach that to your son, but I choose to raise my children from a higher moral fiber.

Your kid is 12, he is not that impressionable any more. He probably cares less about the other team cheating than you do. And if he was on a team that took 2 or 3 holdbacks and won the championship, would he not accept the trophy? If you knew, would you not let him play?

Get over yourself. You just cant see 11/12 year old boys play without making an excuse to why your son didn't win the metal or championship T shirt. If your team played a good game then cheating didn't matter. But if you already have it in your kids head that the other team brought outsiders, it may have been the parents to why your team didn't win.
This forum is full of petty talk from people with no life. Just can't take a loss without making up stories from your anonymous avatar in your momma's basement. Hasn't changed in years.

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. Does no one remember that? Have we fallen so far as a sports society that we will teach our kids that it's ok to cheat? I don't care if he wins a tournament. I want him to enjoy himself and have some laughs with his friends. But he came off the field complaining that the other team cheated. It's not right. Obviously you're fine with it. Good for you. I hope your son frames all of his ill-gotten awards. I'm sure that your trash attitude and twisted view of right and wrong you are in the minority. More people think sports should teach a much greater lesson. One of hard work and perseverance. You son will have a fine career as a cold calling ripoff stock broker. Best of luck.
My kids play travel baseball. Nobody talks like this after each game. This sport attracts the loonies. It's sad

Tattoos on women are hot in case you haven't seen
Here's a question I want answered by all the daddy coaches: why, when there's a ton of former players here on Long Island, do self proclaimed experts with no lacrosse experience at all - not one second of experience as a child or adult, not one practice, not one game, no ability to perform the skills they expect from their players, not a second of college training - absolutely nothing to reference... how do we put up with these men as our children's coaches? Think about a 6th grader, playing travel and PAL. That child has hundreds of games, thousands of hours playing, training, just messing around with his stick. He's been in game situations. He knows you can't "scoop through" every ground ball. He knows you have to put one hand on the stick when appropriate, etc... then he is screamed at by some plumbe's helper whose claim to fame is that he watched lacrosse from a sideline. Ever have your legs full of acid, or the wind knocked out of you while a ding bat is screaming, "wheels!!" And expecting you to run the ball up? This is why there is such a drop off with talent here on Long Island. We have coaches with real life experience, then we have Carvel workers who know nothing and claim up the head coach position from kindergarten and then the kids and parents are stuck with that moron until that kid ages out of youth sports. He never had a chance.

This is why there is such a drop off with talent here on Long Island. We have coaches with real life experience, then we have Carvel workers who know nothing and claim up the head coach position from kindergarten and then the kids and parents are stuck with that moron until that kid ages out of youth sports. He never had a chance.
It sounds exactly my town PAL. The coach yells stupid things at the kids which make no sense if you have actually played the game at a higher level, and because of the politics those who have played the game are not allowed to coach.

Why don't parents and players have a say? We review restaurants Andre hotels all the time. Never see a yelp coach site.

I can answer that for you. It's because dads like you have no interest in coaching kids when they are 5 and 6 years old. You lack the patience and ability to complete the task. You're not intelligent enough to realize that a young child needs more than a stick and a ball. You're not wise enough to develop a practice plan for each day (because you can't coach 20-25 5 and 6 year old children, whose parents drop and go, without a fully thought-out and developed plan). You're too foolish to realize that at the early stages of youth sports, its not about winning, but rather about developing the team first and player second. You're too selfish to devote all of the necessary time it takes, on and off the field, to reach a predetermined goal or level of success. You're too weak to ignore your own child so that you can give more intensive instruction to a small boy who doesn't have a father to "have a catch" with him when he's not at practice.
You want to coach them when they are 12 and have all of the prerequisite/fundamental skills, because, quite frankly, coaching the little ones is a very challenging task. But, unfortunately for you, by then they're off to middle school sports. You want to jump in now and take over? Thanks, but no thanks, Dad. I've spent 6 years developing relationships with my players and their parents. I understand their strengths and weaknesses and I know how and when to motivate them and how to make them feel proud of the effort they put in. You just continue to sit on the sidelines and [lacrosse] and moan to everyone who will listen. My child will remember the good times we shared while I coached his team and his friends. Your child will more than likely remember his miserable dad bitching about how this PAL program is a waste of time.
For the record, I've never played lacrosse, but I've played other sports at a high level. I know about good coaching and poor coaching because I've experienced both. I've seen how a coach can be a positive role model in a child's life. I've also seen how easily a coach can ruin a child's self esteem and drive him or her from sports prematurely.
So why don't you do yourself, and everyone else on the sidelines, a big favor. Go over to his coaches and shake their hand and say thank you. And while you're at it, apologize to them for talking so much trash since your boy was in kindergarten.

Hmm, you both present very valuable arguments. I think poster #1 is saying that parents/coaches who don't understand sports seem to think it's easy. I've often said if you have never played, don't think it's easy for the kids on the fields. Poster #2 makes a valuable statement when he says parents have expectations that are unreasonable. So to both of you, good posts.

A good coach can coach any sport at the youth level. A former player does not necessarily make a good coach. My son a former top-tier D1 player as a coach in PAL. They yelled and screamed and failed to motivate on any level. Only a handful of the team continued playing after middle school because of the damage that was done by poor coaching. A youth coach does not need to teach advanced offenses or defenses. An 11 year old does not need to know 4 different clears and 4 different EMO's. If you or your son need these things, then by all means, have him tryout for a travel club. Or do one better; remove him from such a sour situation completely. I'm quite sure his coach won't mind.
And, for the record, I'm a monster at ping pong.

You're the reason why there are problems of non player coaches. I'm not talking about advanced schemes. Yelling bad advice at a player from the sideline does not help the kids IQ development and teaches them bad habits. However, I'm glad you can huddle them together and make it look like you're doing something. Most of the kids know you are a joke.

THANK YOU!!!!!!
I hope you guys are going to coach next year. We need experts like you guys in the game.

A good coach can coach any sport at the youth level. A former player does not necessarily make a good coach. My son a former top-tier D1 player as a coach in PAL. They yelled and screamed and failed to motivate on any level. Only a handful of the team continued playing after middle school because of the damage that was done by poor coaching. A youth coach does not need to teach advanced offenses or defenses. An 11 year old does not need to know 4 different clears and 4 different EMO's. If you or your son need these things, then by all means, have him tryout for a travel club. Or do one better; remove him from such a sour situation completely. I'm quite sure his coach won't mind.
And, for the record, I'm a monster at ping pong.
You're the reason why there are problems of non player coaches. I'm not talking about advanced schemes. Yelling bad advice at a player from the sideline does not help the kids IQ development and teaches them bad habits. However, I'm glad you can huddle them together and make it look like you're doing something. Most of the kids know you are a joke.
LOL! You're barking up the wrong tree, fella. My team wins, my parents think I'm great and the kids on my team are all smiles. My god! I must be doing something wrong! Winning AND fun?!?!?! Sounds terrible!
I went to a coaching clinic about 12 years ago and learned something that stuck with me. Since then I've coached baseball, soccer, basketball, lacrosse and football and I've employed it in all instances. Never yell at a kid on the field and tell him he did something wrong. Chances are better than not that he knows exactly what he did wrong and doesn't need a coach to bring attention to it for all to hear. So, clearly you've never been to my teams' games.
Why don't you grab a clip board and help out with your child's team? Clearly, you're an absolute wealth of knowledge!

Think about a 6th grader, playing travel and PAL. That child has hundreds of games, thousands of hours playing, training, just messing around with his stick. He's been in game situations. He knows you can't "scoop through" every ground ball. He knows you have to put one hand on the stick when appropriate, etc... then he is screamed at by some plumbe's helper whose claim to fame is that he watched lacrosse from a sideline. Ever have your legs full of acid, or the wind knocked out of you while a ding bat is screaming, "wheels!!" And expecting you to run the ball up? This is why there is such a drop off with talent here on Long Island. We have coaches with real life experience, then we have Carvel workers who know nothing and claim up the head coach position from kindergarten and then the kids and parents are stuck with that moron until that kid ages out of youth sports. He never had a chance.
The more succinct answer is because there aren't enough people willing to put in the time to coach - organizations have to take what is available from the volunteers that step up. Unless you are willing to step up, and are qualified, or you know someone else who is qualified and can do so and you get them to step up, then I'd say be thankful to whoever is coaching, because the alternative to most programs is NO coach. My town is lucky that our program is willing to pay for coaches when there are no volunteers, but that is not the norm. People that complain about a situation, but do nothing to solve the problem are useless - it's PAL, so, considering what you're paying, you don't even have much an argument as a "paying customer". If you had this same experience in a club team situation, then you'd have a valid argument.

I can answer that for you. It's because dads like you have no interest in coaching kids when they are 5 and 6 years old. You lack the patience and ability to complete the task. You're not intelligent enough to realize that a young child needs more than a stick and a ball. You're not wise enough to develop a practice plan for each day (because you can't coach 20-25 5 and 6 year old children, whose parents drop and go, without a fully thought-out and developed plan). You're too foolish to realize that at the early stages of youth sports, its not about winning, but rather about developing the team first and player second. You're too selfish to devote all of the necessary time it takes, on and off the field, to reach a predetermined goal or level of success. You're too weak to ignore your own child so that you can give more intensive instruction to a small boy who doesn't have a father to "have a catch" with him when he's not at practice.
You want to coach them when they are 12 and have all of the prerequisite/fundamental skills, because, quite frankly, coaching the little ones is a very challenging task. But, unfortunately for you, by then they're off to middle school sports. You want to jump in now and take over? Thanks, but no thanks, Dad. I've spent 6 years developing relationships with my players and their parents. I understand their strengths and weaknesses and I know how and when to motivate them and how to make them feel proud of the effort they put in. You just continue to sit on the sidelines and [lacrosse] and moan to everyone who will listen. My child will remember the good times we shared while I coached his team and his friends. Your child will more than likely remember his miserable dad bitching about how this PAL program is a waste of time.
For the record, I've never played lacrosse, but I've played other sports at a high level. I know about good coaching and poor coaching because I've experienced both. I've seen how a coach can be a positive role model in a child's life. I've also seen how easily a coach can ruin a child's self esteem and drive him or her from sports prematurely.
So why don't you do yourself, and everyone else on the sidelines, a big favor. Go over to his coaches and shake their hand and say thank you. And while you're at it, apologize to them for talking so much trash since your boy was in kindergarten.

It's all about you and how great of a non lacrosse player you are. You're the jack of all [lacrosse] bags.
Guy, we get it. But laying it on a tad thick, no?...let me guess, you are the guy who has to coach his son in every sport because you just know it better than everyone else...? Know what, you are considered the Mike Francesa in your youth leagues--blowhard.

Next time you're in Nassau, come check out a game. Just because you have a bad coach doesn't mean I'm one. But thanks for the insults. It means a lot.

Where do you coach?
Why can't the positive reinforcement take place with a guy who knows what he's teaching? Seriously, can I teach kid who has been swimming for 5 years at high levels how to swim if I've never put my toe in the water? Would you pay a swim coach who drowns when he hits the pool? simulated swimming from outside the pool with a shirt and a whistle doesn't make you qualified to instruct the swimmers. A coach who can't perform a split dodge shouldn't be teaching spilt dodges. A coach who screams not to take a ground ball, obviously never had to pick up a ground ball with a large defender directly in front of him. Problem is, parents copy what the ding bat is saying and the kid pays the price 10 fold from the chirping parents and the ding bat coach - all who haven't a clue and have never done it themselves and couldn't perform it for a million bucks

This reply is so spot on!!! Thank you!!! My sons coach has never played lacrosse a day in his life and is the best coach he has ever had, on any sport. He gets the kids. He lets them play and also have fun. They all respond so well to him because he genuinely cares about them. Any former lacrosse player can tell plays from the sidelines with a coaching t shirt on, its the one who make the kids love the game, that are real coaches.

Listen, I get what you're saying. And in a perfect world, skilled former players would be coaching all of our kids. But unfortunately, in most cases, those guys don't want to be bothered coaching a bunch of little kids whose shoes still need tying and noses need wiping. That's when you get guys like me. I know that there are limitations to how much I can teach these boys, and to be honest, I've just about reached that point. However, I immerse myself completely into it and learn everything I can. I talk to former players, watch as much as I can, and go to coaching clinics. I've had a stick in my hands now for over 10 years and even joined a men's league two years ago. I can teach you just about every dodge because I've learned them and practiced on my older guys. I get my hands dirty every practice. Am I the best coach out there? Of course not. But if no one else is going to step up, then sometimes a guy like me is not a terrible option.

Great points. Its a shame how ungrateful some of these parents are towards dad coaches. Its a thankless gig. If the kid is learning and having fun, the coach's past lax experience is irrelevant. I hope your team parents appreciate what you do. I know we certainly appreciate our coach.

I can't believe this poor guy who has good intentions and appears dedicated to coaching is still getting creamed because he didn't grow up with a stick in his hand. What the [lacrosse] do you want for your $200 pal pricetag? Professional or hand picked coaches? What you get in reality is a bunch of Sunday games and weekly practices run by volunteer coaches, that's it. Not all coaches are good or deserve to be instructing our kids. If your kid has one of those coaches and as a parent you don't step up to do something about it than shame on you. If you want to put all your eggs into the pal basket than that's your choice. If that's not enough for your future d1 player than play him on a club team or utilize the many camps, clinics, and private coaches available to supplement what he's getting. There are plenty of options in the world of long island lacrosse...
U guys should google mike daly coach for brown u. Hey coached tufts to 3 d3 titles. Never played lacrosse
It's less about the good coach that you're describing and more about the bad apples. The ones who hijack the position from the get go and hold it the whole time your child is a child. It's like whoever claims the position first wins and that is what most parents want changed. And usually it's a guy with no experience. PAL and travel lacrosse included. How may Daddy coaches assisting travel lax to guarantee a spot on the field for their sons? I get that and accept it. But when the daddy coach regurgitates false information at the top of his lungs to your child and you child is forced to comply - knowing that the instructions ar incorrect - then you confuse the child and make them want to quit.

Granted. But where did the skills come from? It came from their childhood.
All Tufts assistants played. So you can't compare. Parent coaches are great except those who do it so all plays are run through his kid or his kid plays too much or starts when he should not. This happens far too many times. Otherwise parent coaches are more dedicated. I would take a parent coach who played over anyone else but would not want one who never played.
Granted. But where did the skills come from? It came from their childhood.

No. Igloo is going to light them up. A decent town team with a few extra mediocre Empire kids is not going to beat anyone. Tornadoes game might be close, but that's the only one.
People have short memories. Syag beat the tornados just 7 months ago in the fall blatant tournament. No reason they can't do it again!

I heard this is BM's time to shine. All winter and spring to develop the best team on LI. We'll see. I know my kid is fired up to beat them.

Crappy weather is the great equalizer. It will make the better team look worse than the mediocre teams. A team that normally doesnt make mistakes will make them. The team that usually makes mistakes will still make them, but they won't make a tremendous difference. Look for Legs to dominate at the X and control possession. They'll win by 3
Good luck to everyone playing tomorrow!
Outlaws playing 2023 and 2022 on sunday?

Time to shine? You mean time to scream? That dude is just too loud.
Excuses excuses. Both teams had to play in the same conditions .
Legacy will be lucky to score 3 goals. Never mind win by 3

That might be the most moronic theory I've ever heard. So the bad weather only effected the supposed "better" team? Come on. Just stop with the bs. I expect and hope the syag team wipes up the tornadoes. For the simple fact to shut everyone up. Its annoying already. Everyone (well except you) loves to see an underdog win.
It is 12 months with BM at the helm.....the improvement in the tornado's will be noticeable!

Really? this must be a joke!!! The team has improved but BM has nothing to do with it! His 30% attendance record at practice speaks volumes of who he really is. This team has been lead by 2 dedicated coaches for the past several years and they will continue to do so after BM moves on.
Crickets on here from the tornadoes and outlaws tonight. Interesting.
You must be from SYAG! Remember you lost twice yesterday you LOOOOZER!

Anyone that has anything to say other than giving SYAG the respect they deserve after yesterday is a fool. Actions speak louder than words and they proved themselves worthy, even with the Igloo loss.

It's a 2nd option Team made up of a bunch of travel kids. Settle down.

Can you at least admit that they have a ridiculous name. Why name it after a town if it's not a town team? That's dumb.

The fact that you care what their name is, is dumb.
why not? let's hear the rationale....not sure anyone cares what teams are called, barring names, and according to Tourney Machine they beat the Outlaws by 5 and Legacy by 7...I'm not affiliated with any of the teams but watched some of the championship, and SYAG was beating Igloo early on...either way, regardless of what they're called they came to play from my vantage point

Completely agree and that's what that team should work towards. Would be nice to see another good team in the mix at tourneys.
Why is SYAG always looking for respect and who's saying you don't have it, team is a known entity, talented group of kids who play together in fall and early in summer tournament season and then team seems to vanish from tournament play as boys go play for their respective club teams. Maybe all from SYAG, maybe not, who cares - they're good, but don't play it like those boys don't play for some of the better club teams. SYAG one of the biggest districts in NY, they should be able to field a good team, similar to what three village does, however those boys don't play for other clubs.

Based on the scores SYAG had a tight game vs Igloo. 5-3 is no blowout. No bad for a "decent town team".

I think you mean travel team for some reason playing under a town team name. Not taking anything away from the effort but please identify and represent yourself as such

Igloo coaches weren't worried about losing that first game. They were never in any trouble and were content to move the ball and retain possession. They felt no need to force anything. That was gameplay going into game 1. Parents thought it was too close so they decided to challenge the defense in the final game. Guess what? The defense had no answers for the igloo offense. 9-3 and considering SYAG was up 2-0 in the first 2 minutes, I'd consider that dominance. SYAG never had a chance and that's the truth.

They would need better coaching for that to happen. And since I heard both coaches are insane egomaniacs, I doubt would happen. They're committed, I'll give them that. They've practiced 3 times a week for the past year. But neither one of them knows the game or has ever played. Anyone can put a bunch of good players on the field and win a few games. I want my kid to learn the more important nuances of the game to raise his lax IQ. Those coaches can't deliver that, which means they won't be able to take them to the next level. Travel lax not about being a good 12 year old (or 13 judging by the size of their defender). It's about acquiring the skills necessary to perform at the next level. Those skills won't be talk by practicing every day.

Yeah, led 2-0 in the first 2 minutes. Unfortunately they let up 9 straight goals after that. Pretty sure any team could have done that. But hey, if you want to hang your hat on a few goal loss in the first game (when you were never ever in control) then be my guest.

I was talking to a SYAG mom about this on Saturday. I asked why they don't just play this team instead of others. She said that their 3 top offensive players won't leave their travel club and the best defenseman's dad says he's going to the Bandits and JS won't tolerate playing for anyone else. I think if you take any one of those players off the team they drop significantly.
This comment must be from an igloo parent who's son didn't get his usual 4-5 goals because he was playing opposite a dominant defenseman who is 12 years old for your information. It's it funny that if your big for your age and not so good nobody cares. But if your big and a stud you must be older or cheating

That's the difference between our team and yours. Our team doesn't rely on anyone to score 4-5 goals. Our coaches teach them about patience, precision and execution. The boys move the ball until they find the right shot. All of our boys score. No one generally scores more than two. Unlike your team, who I think only had one kid score goals in the final. And yes, mom, Igloo scored on your boy too. Good player? Yes. Stud? Not quite.
[quote=Anonymous]SYAG sucks...Igloo is the best team ever assembled...Tornadoes are ridiculously good...Outlaws are better than most think, Igloo should destroy them all...or not...THAT'S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME! [/quote
Igloo played well as expected. Strong up and down the field. Tornadoes were average, not close to ridiculously good. Their goalie kept them in most games. SYAG played well also. Good defense and skilled offense, Will get stronger. Outlaws have a lot of work to do. Offense was not good very good, maybe off day.

I'm thrilled that your happy with your team and coaching. I'm not sure of the need though to insinuate Syag is cheating cause a kid "looks" 13. Tornadoes have a defenseman that probably close to six feet tall and not one mention of that on here.

People on here elude to cheating when a team does well (ie SYAG this weekend just happens to be the team of choice that people want to sht on). So they harp on the fact that 1 defensemen is a big kid (which is funny because MOST defensemen at this age happen to be the bigger kids on the teams). No one mentions the near 6ft defensemen on the tornadoes bc they went 1-2 with 20+ GA so clearly he wasn't a factor. That's why no one is talking about it. People come on here to bring other teams down and dilute anything good.
That is the lax way with many of these parents.
If a kid is bigger he's older
If a team is better, they are cheating
The amount of whining and crying from some is insane.
They are 11/12 year old boys. Some will hit puberty earlier and grow quicker. Some have 6'8" dads so their son should be bigger than others.

#11 on SYAG was a very good defender.
Please move on, learned nothing new this past weekend - Legacy is OK, OL's are OK, SYAG has some good players that also play for other club teams, the defenseman is big and very good, plays for Warriors and if getting bumped up to Bandits good for him, maybe 12/maybe13, but as of now if in 6th grade it doesn't matter. And yes, Igloo still one of the top 5 teams for age group.
FINALLY! People are making some sense!!!

What's the criteria for "very good"? People didn't bring up the tall kid from the other team because his parents aren't on here telling everyone how good he is. But now you classless SYAG parents want to take shots at him? Typical. For the record, the team may have had a +20 goal differential, but they weren't on him. One person questioned your kids age and you say that another kid is also tall but he sucks so no one talks about it? Newsflash, his dad is very tall. Lots more growing to do. I had the displeasure of watching the game next to the SYAG kids dad. Guess what? The kid is probably about full height already. Let's compare them when they're in HS, shall we?
SYAG is a quality team with a good coach. The Igloo brand enables the team to recruit top talent, the fact that SYAG is in the conversation is impressive. They are getting better every year, I am not sure why this is a negative. It was a good showing by SYAG, they still have work to do, but a solid showing. Not a SYAG person, but an onlooker who is impressed with an unbranded very competitive team striving to get better every day.
I'm not quite sure what the argument is on this one, however the defense man that no one is talking about until now, took a cheap shot to the head of a SYAG player - unnecessary on many levels.........maybe a name change would attract less hate - or will it? People tend to HATE and frown upon others success - either way these are 11/12 year old boys - and it appears as if they're the adults and we're the children with all of the negative banter...Congrats to Igloo on the strong showing - great team with classy coaches!
Let's clarify for those of you who can't read or are too dense to understand.. nobody bashed anybody's kid . Someone ,an igloo parent, stated that Syag had a defenseman who was probably 13 based on his size. Because igloo struggled with Syag in the first game and early on in the second game that parent is looking for something to bash or justify why igloo didn't win either game by double digits as usual. If the tornadoes would have done the same thing to igloo there would have been issues with how old their tall defenseman is. But the tornadoes got blown out so no one mentions that kids size or questions his age

Let's be completely honest, SYAG is only in the conversation because they just played against them. Otherwise, there would be no conversation. Any team can go out and lose to a team twice. The first game was close, but Igloo was always in control. They just slowed the pace down. 9-3 is not a close game or a good showing. You won't see SYAG again until a fall tournament because the travel season starts in 2 weeks and those kids will all be playing for their real teams.
SYAC complaining about cheap shots!!!!! Classic. I never saw a bunch of dirtier 12 yrs old anywhere. Slashing kids when the ref wasn't looking. Talking trash to the opposing players. Keep it up SYAC. Karma is a biatch.

The tall kid was on Outlaws. The kid on Tornadoes was the one with the head shot. Any Syag mom was trying to deflect attention away from her kid by saying that no one questioned the Outlaw kid because he wasn't good (which is completely untrue).

I completely disagree. Igloo parents would not be on here bashing anyone (they have class from what we all saw this weekend). The only people that would spend this much time bashing Igloo or Syag are the other 2 teams who put up no competition this weekend. The bitter parents from the weekend. Certainly not Igloo and quite frankly I don't even think it's Syag. Igloo won and Syag played great games against a top team, what's to be mad about from either of their teams? nothing. It's the ones who were going on for dayyyssssss last week how well they were going to do and SHOCK everyone, etc and failed to show up when it mattered. They took the day off yesterday to sulk and came on here today ready to go. Get a life.

I am #11's mom and I'll tell you that my husband and I haven't been on here commenting because we've been working but I'll say this....our kid is a good kid, not just a good player, he's a good kid. Do you know how many grown men approach him at tournaments to interrogate him on his age, grade and where he lives? It's despicable! Ive had to personally intercept and save him from a stranger's verbal attack. He's 12! If your displeasure of watching the game next to my husband was because he was cheering on our son, too bad. If it was because you were the one that was trash talking him accusing him of being older and he finally had enough, and said something to your face instead of hiding on an anonymous forum, also too bad. To those that have complimented his efforts, thank you. He truly loves the game and his coaches. To everyone else, what he does this year and next year is none of your business really but you can see me at the next tournament if you feel the burning need to ask questions. My name is Lisa, leave him alone.

Looks like Lisa has more balls than any of the dads who hide behind this forum to bash KIDS. She just schooled every one of you losers. Bravo.

Its a much better showing than the 2 "real" travel teams had. Lets all get on here and talk about Syag to deflect from the fact the other 2 teams were horrendous. Maybe a little more practice and less botc stalking last week would have done you all some good. Most boring games I have ever seen in travel A bracket.

Get over it, and yourself, "Lisa". I don't even know which kid you're all taking about because there was a bunch of big defenders there. They stood out because they were tall. If he's 11 or 12, whoopidy doo! The fact is most tall kids are holdbacks so deal with it. If they're not, they went through puberty extremely early and have done most of their growing. Either way, If you think his life is in danger because of all of the grown men accosting him at tournaments, try putting him in cheerleading. I'm sure he'd make a great base.

Hey SYAG guy, your kid plays for Empire. What would you know about A brackets? Are you guys playing on LI this year? Or just Westchester and Rhode Island? Maybe a quick trip to beat up some Jersey teams?

Ive had to personally intercept and save him from a stranger's verbal attack. He's 12! If your displeasure of watching the game next to my husband was because he was cheering on our son, too bad. If it was because you were the one that was trash talking him accusing him of being older and he finally had enough, and said something to your face instead of hiding on an anonymous forum, also too bad. To those that have complimented his efforts, thank you. He truly loves the game and his coaches. To everyone else, what he does this year and next year is none of your business really but you can see me at the next tournament if you feel the burning need to ask questions. My name is Lisa, leave him alone.
Lisa, you're great! that son of yours is lucky to have you as a mom.

I completely disagree. Igloo parents would not be on here bashing anyone (they have class from what we all saw this weekend). The only people that would spend this much time bashing Igloo or Syag are the other 2 teams who put up no competition this weekend. The bitter parents from the weekend. Certainly not Igloo and quite frankly I don't even think it's Syag. Igloo won and Syag played great games against a top team, what's to be mad about from either of their teams? nothing. It's the ones who were going on for dayyyssssss last week how well they were going to do and SHOCK everyone, etc and failed to show up when it mattered. They took the day off yesterday to sulk and came on here today ready to go. Get a life.
I was thinking same thing. Why would SYAG or Igloo be causing all this drama? SYAG played tough, had a great showing and never gave up. Igloo played the same slow drawn out game they always do also. Example: 6 goal Differential against the Outlaws proves that. SYAG is non affiliated and beat up on two A programs. Directors are losing money or coaches afraid of their meal ticket so post on BOC. Better get rid all the coaches on both of those teams. If not SYAGs tryouts maybe larger then both of yours combined. Too many parents are tired of paying money for NO RETURN.

Let's be completely honest, SYAG is only in the conversation because they just played against them. Otherwise, there would be no conversation. Any team can go out and lose to a team twice. The first game was close, but Igloo was always in control. They just slowed the pace down. 9-3 is not a close game or a good showing. You won't see SYAG again until a fall tournament because the travel season starts in 2 weeks and those kids will all be playing for their real teams.
Its a much better showing than the 2 "real" travel teams had. Lets all get on here and talk about Syag to deflect from the fact the other 2 teams were horrendous. Maybe a little more practice and less botc stalking last week would have done you all some good. Most boring games I have ever seen in travel A bracket.
Hey SYAG guy, your kid plays for Empire. What would you know about A brackets? Are you guys playing on LI this year? Or just Westchester and Rhode Island? Maybe a quick trip to beat up some Jersey teams?
not sure what your rant above is about, but I am not "syag guy" and my kid don't play on empire. you might want to settle down there fella.

Mic drop...may need to revamp the business models - paying $3K for mediocrity would [lacrosse] anyone off...

Sorry "Lisa". I'm sure because he's so big he wouldn't be once danger, right? You're out of your mind. Sorry if I failed you notice your huge "stud" defenseman. Don't take it personally. I was probably focused on my sons team beating yours with ease or looking for my ear plugs to drown out the noise from your trashy parents.

Apparently you are little slow. Not from syag, my son does not play for empire and my original post was simply in response to your ridiculous rant. Whoever it is you have an issue with Im sure is flattered you pay this much attention to him. You might want to direct that attention to your own kid so he can hang with the big boys at these tournaments.

Wow looks like you've been at this all day. First you attack some kid and now his mom. You should be proud. You're making a good name for your team. They'll be proud too.
I don't know who posted the Igloo is the best team ever comment, but it was not a Igloo parent. We just don't talk like this, and other clubs stir the pot by posting comments like this. Its sad. The tournament was good, the teams where good, the coaching for all the teams was professional. And lets leave it at that...

You are all taking crap because I don't think any other team was bragging on how great they were going to be on this forum last week. Some people said we would all be surprised by SYAG and they had a really good showing. Don't put other programs down in order to make a point. I was a respectable showing and some teams played as expected and others didn't but you don't hear the other teams whining they didn't do as well. They lost and I am sure they will re-group to figure out what went wrong. All in all, even the teams that lost put up a decent battle. Everyone should be celebrating the fact there is parity amongst the club teams. Some are clearly better but there were minimal blowouts e.g. 15-1, 13-2 scores this weekend. Every team will get better and all parents should be proud of their kids. They are far better at this age then we were.

BRAVO. I couldn't agree more. Enough of the kids, for one reason or another, have played on a couple of these teams by this age and they know one another pretty well. If they knew about BOTC and what some of the parents post on this site they would be embarrassed.

YES!!!!! I am grateful my son has no idea this forum exists to see a bunch of whining parents complain and ridicule other kids, and MOM's!!!! My son had a great time this weekend and that's all that matters.

Agree with you. I am a SYAG parent and it was refreshing to watch both those games this weekend on the sidelines with other parents not talking trash about kids. Some even cheering on our players, saved goals, etc. For some reason that is frowned upon, so thank you all for keeping it classy.

The CSH PAL team is mostly just the Igloo kids who ball hog the whole time. So I'm not sure the post was referring to them.
Express absolutely destroyed 91 Warriors Saturday morning. So much for narrowing the gap.
Easy clown! Express parent here. Two evenly matched teams trying to get kids better.
You pathetic crap stirrers need to go have a catch with your son.
Everyone posing as parents from a team trying to start trouble.

Get over it, and yourself, "Lisa". I don't even know which kid you're all taking about because there was a bunch of big defenders there. They stood out because they were tall.

Lisa, people talk a lot of trash on this site, so happens you got suckered in. How does what someone say effect your families life? Most likely none. But whatever you have going on inside yourself is at question, it has nothing to do with your kid. You best get over it, it seems as though youth lacrosse has taken hold of your entire family, along with the bad rep.
Where are the tournaments this weekend? Any good match ups?

I am #11's mom and I'll tell you that my husband and I haven't been on here commenting because we've been working but I'll say this....our kid is a good kid, not just a good player, he's a good kid. Do you know how many grown men approach him at tournaments to interrogate him on his age, grade and where he lives? It's despicable! Ive had to personally intercept and save him from a stranger's verbal attack. He's 12! If your displeasure of watching the game next to my husband was because he was cheering on our son, too bad. If it was because you were the one that was trash talking him accusing him of being older and he finally had enough, and said something to your face instead of hiding on an anonymous forum, also too bad. To those that have complimented his efforts, thank you. He truly loves the game and his coaches. To everyone else, what he does this year and next year is none of your business really but you can see me at the next tournament if you feel the burning need to ask questions. My name is Lisa, leave him alone.
Get over it, and yourself, "Lisa". I don't even know which kid you're all taking about because there was a bunch of big defenders there. They stood out because they were tall. If he's 11 or 12, whoopidy doo! The fact is most tall kids are holdbacks so deal with it. If they're not, they went through puberty extremely early and have done most of their growing. Either way, If you think his life is in danger because of all of the grown men accosting him at tournaments, try putting him in cheerleading. I'm sure he'd make a great base.
I didn't see anyone say his life was in danger. Do YOU think that's appropriate behavior for a grown man to approach a 12 year old? You prob do, you're prob one of them. Go somewhere else to talk about when boys reach puberty and who makes a great base. I'm sure you know know all about that. This is a lax forum.
Lisa, people talk a lot of trash on this site, so happens you got suckered in. How does what someone say effect your families life? Most likely none. But whatever you have going on inside yourself is at question, it has nothing to do with your kid. You best get over it, it seems as though youth lacrosse has taken hold of your entire family, along with the bad rep.
Now there's psychological advice on this site! What she has going on inside herself? Really? You obviously didn't go back far enough to know what happened and it was agreed to let it all go, so let's do that.

How many other people think this is from one of the other SYAG parents? Seems to know her a little too well, don't you think?

The fact is that 2023 is a very strong age group. If you look at the classes a few years up and a few years down, you'll see that there are very few high quality teams. Our age group has a bunch. Are the Bandits still the best? Yes. But they are not blowing teams as they once did. Igloo beat them last year, Express lost by a goal. It's great to see. All of our kids are getting better because of the high level of competition they're playing against. Also, it seems like teams are more willing to scrimmage one another this season, which is awesome. No one is worried about who's better than whom, but focused more on improving as a whole.
So whether your son plays for the Bandits, Igloo, Warriors, Express or S2S (Outlaws, Empire, Tornadoes, as well) it doesn't really matter. No one is recruiting them for another 4 or 5 years. By then, the boys will have hit puberty and the best players will rise to the top. People should focus less on trying desperately to move to a new and (in their eyes) better team. Let the boys develop relationships with their teammates instead of jumping to an whole new team just because the parents are embarrassed because of a loss or two.
Just enjoy the ride and let your son have some fun!

You are a loser. These are 12 year old kids and several people have already explained there is a good deal of parity in the grade. Teams that, in the past, were not considered as good are getting better and other teams who are good are remaining that way. One game or tournament shouldn't make or break a team and their potential nor should it categorize them. Wait until the season is over to make your dumba$$ comments. At least then you will have something to stand/quiver behind. As another person said, these boys will not be recruited for several years so let them play and get better. Because you are such a loser you seem to take pride in a team being better than another. I get it if you are cheering for a professional team but this is youth lacrosse. I will also bet your kid is on one of the better teams you outlined above but doesn't get a lot of playing time. I know this because, if he did, you would have more class then to stir the pop as you do (probably all the time). Go back to looking like you are working so that your boss doesn't have to give you another warning and fire your a$$

Always comes back to who is your kid playing for, you, the parent or for himself. Good post unfortunately won't make an ounce of difference in the eyes of many...

What happens when you have a very good player and the rest of the team does not have the same skills? Would it make sense to move up where a child would actually enjoy playing with peers of the same caliber?

So trashy. It was a scrimmage. And I'm pretty sure you can't be in the conversation if you only play 1 tournament a season because your best kids are playing for their real club teams. Youre not a real team.

1). It was a scrimmage and S2S was playing everyone equally
2). S2S was missing 4 kids including faceoff kid.
Only two guys took that seriously, and they acted like it was a national championship. But good try, SYAG lunatic coaches.
OMG, SYAG again - fine, two losses and a tie against top five teams gets you in the conversation, I'll actually put you at #1 as long as you promise no more SYAG posts until at least Tuesday.

I heard all the SYAG players signed D1 commitments already. Or is that just what the trash parents think?
Where are the tournaments this weekend, any good matchups?

Not that it matters at all because it was a scrimmage and we weren't playing to win, but one of our boys clearly scored and the SYAG goalie pulled it out of the net before the ref could see it. Everyone on the sideline saw it though, including you SYAG disaster parents. So actually, you lost. Again.

How about we revisit the rankings after the season in mid-July? Oh sorry, your kids will be playing for Warriors all season. I forgot about that. Tell you what. I'm going to grab a bunch of Igloo kids and fill out the roster with some True Blue kids and we'll scrimmage and I'll post here that Blue Igloo is now the new team to beat.

I'm sure the SYAG video dad has it on tape. Or is he one of the coaches that replaced the "fired" coach?

Great response to someone asking a simple question. But as usual, this whole site has nothing to do with Lacrosse. It's only function is for people to act like like savages because they can hide behind their keyboard.

This was my first time seeing SYAG so here's my takeaway from last night's scrimmage. I had a great vantage point from my car, right behind the benches. They have some very good players. I guess the coaches are not very experienced though. When S2S, and most teams, scrimmage, we are essentially running a high tempo practice. We try new things, new positions and get everyone involved. This may have looked like a game, but it was merely a practice. The SYAG coaches had, what appeared to be 1/3 of their team riding the pine for almost the entire game. He actually told the players that weren't playing that if they wanted to see the field they needed to get better. Who does that? Why would coaches shorten the bench in a scrimmage? Doesn't that go against the whole concept AND effectiveness of a scrimmage? The coaches were demeaning and demoralizing the players on the sidelines and on the field. I actually felt bad for the players and parents. My wife said she would have pulled our son off the field if he played for them. The offensive coach Said something about the starters "sucking" and the defensive coach was just a very mean man. Conversely, our coaches were joking with our boys and keeping spirits high. I guess there's a difference between teams that have nothing to prove and teams that just desperately desire respect. Well, I lost any respect for them after that.

Actually, it's not bad. Maybe the poster doesn't know that the Tourney Machine app exists. If that's the case, it's actually very helpful (unlike your post).

Anyone with an inkling of lacrosse knowledge knows there are never lacrosse tournaments on Memorial weekend. If you really want to see 12 year olds play a sport this weekend go to the closest soccer tournament.

Aged out last year?? They played their last PAL game for SYAG this past weekend. It's the same team +/- a few out of town kids.

For someone who wasn't playing to "win", you sure do sound bitter.

Excellent observation! Those SYAG guys have never played lacrosse and obviously have no idea how to coach a group of young boys. Their arrogance is so bad that it's comical.

Never played, yet coached a PAL team to a tie or within one goal of "elite" S2S. I think it may say more about over rated S2S team. The mighty have fallen.

I would agree with you if they werent doing it to kids.

Couldn't agree more - scrimmages are for teaching. The SYAG coaches screamed the whole game at their players - but never told them what they were doing wrong or once attempted to explain the situation so it doesn't happen again. They are a good solid team - but my son wouldn't play for those coaches if it were free...

He actually told the players that weren't playing that if they wanted to see the field they needed to get better. Who does that? Why would coaches shorten the bench in a scrimmage? Doesn't that go against the whole concept AND effectiveness of a scrimmage? The coaches were demeaning and demoralizing the players on the sidelines and on the field. I actually felt bad for the players and parents. My wife said she would have pulled our son off the field if he played for them. The offensive coach Said something about the starters "sucking" and the defensive coach was just a very mean man. Conversely, our coaches were joking with our boys and keeping spirits high. I guess there's a difference between teams that have nothing to prove and teams that just desperately desire respect. Well, I lost any respect for them after that.
Excellent observation! Those SYAG guys have never played lacrosse and obviously have no idea how to coach a group of young boys. Their arrogance is so bad that it's comical.
Never played, yet coached a PAL team to a tie or within one goal of "elite" S2S. I think it may say more about over rated S2S team. The mighty have fallen.
Thanks SYAG for coming over for a scrimmage. What happened last night should have just stayed there, similar to the 5 other scrimmages we've had this spring. Your team is good, no doubt, but the fact of the matter is it was a 'scrimmage', not a tournament game. You have no clue how many starters might have missed it b/c they had a conflict that would not happen for a tournament. You have no idea how many boys might have been resting b/c of a minor injury that wasn't worth aggravating for a 'scrimmage'. Did you notice we had a pole taking multiple face offs? Do you think that would that happen in a tournament game?
S2S is far from perfect, there's a lot of work ahead for the boys and the coaches but we're talking about a scrimmage on a Wednesday night in May. A tune up to work on lines and new plays and identify areas of focus for practice so the team is ready when the tournaments begin. Our tournament schedule is posted on the website, sign up for one and let’s watch the boys play when it counts.

I hope the coaches learned their lesson. One and done with these clowns.

Quick observation - was good all around tough game...both teams competed and got after it...not sure why anyone has such animosity towards either team...two legit teams playing lacrosse - question is why is anyone posting anything about a scrimmage? Either way was an interesting game to watch...
Is this the same SYAG team that competes in PAL?
[/quote]
Not even close. They aged out of PAL last year.
[/quote]
How can 6th graders be aged out of PAL when there are divisions up through 8th grade??

Are there no tournaments Memorial Day weekend?
Wow, very interesting observations about this scrimmage.
Both teams played great, showed off some very talented players.
I observed all players playing and coaches from both teams were instructing the players on field.
The scrimmage ended in a tie if I counted the score correctly. Both teams had great plays and mistakes. The takeaway here is learning what the negatives were and working them out while improving on positive play. I think it would be anyone game if these two teams were to compete in a tournament.
However, for now I am giving the advantage to S2S given they have more experience and a travel organization behind them.

I'm on the outside looking in on these last few posts and have no involvement with this age group at all but it looks to me like the s2s parents are giving more of a blow by blow of last night scrimmage than the other group of parents . So if what happened at the scrimmage stays at the scrimmage no one told the s2s parents

Hey Outsider, let's stop talking about it so that hopefully everyone else catches on.

Only two guys took that seriously, and they acted like it was a national championship. But good try, SYAG lunatic coaches.
S2S had those exact same excuse at their last scrimmage against Outlaws and Warriors. Almost word for word as the last post after those scrimmages.

Shock???!!! You run a zone D. people would be "shocked" if you could run with the better teams, not just slow them down.
Hate to show my ignorance but what does SYAG stand for & where are they from.

I'm sure one of these clowns who follow them can tell you what it stands for, but I do know they are based in the Sachem school district.

Screaming Youth Abusing Guys. From Holbrook, Holtsville, Farmingville, Lake Grove, Lake Ronkonkoma, Ronkonkoma, Nesconset, and Bohemia. Then they have 6 or 7 other players from outside that area.

S= Some
Y= Young

G= Girls
with lots of tattoo's.
I think it stands for Someone, You, Anyone please tell people how Good we are and evidently they are from somewhere that believes losing to Igloo twice and tying S2S in a scrimmage somehow translates into instant "put us in the conversation" for top team status - has SYAG Select ever won an A bracket tournament or beaten a top team? Enough already, win something that matters and beat someone when it matters, until then, just a lot of hot air.

If S2S is considered one of the top teams and we just tied them, then you do the math. 'Nuff said!
What a bunch of bitter, loser lax dads on here!!! Wow!!!
Who pays this much attention to 12 yr olds?? And talks so negatively about them, the team, coaches, parents, etc.
You guys should go grab a beer and some wings and cry it out together that you so badly are living vicariously through your own children, who unfortunately have you as role models.

People just can't accept that a town team can be competitive with the big travel teams. Well guess what!?!? We can and we are!
Your best kids play for the big travel teams and team not all from the same town, stop pretending to be something you're not. I did the match, zero A bracket tournaments won and zero victories against any top teams.
Non syag parent please stop posting as one and trying to stir the pot. You know who you are.

Hit a nerve did I?
All depends on who is healthy at which tourney: our kids are at the age of injuries that require rest. These kids are out to have fun and make friends, develop their skills under a "good" coach. No college coach cares who you play for or who won which Tournament. Meet new people, have fun under a tent in 90 degree weather, and take in all the time you are spending with your child who "hopefully" loves lacrosse. When you watch the tournament games closely and have a full understanding of the game and its rules, we all know who are the natural athletes. So play for a good coach and a competitive team. Doesn't mean play for the "best" team who wins all of the tournaments. All the best to the players and coaches this Tourney season. Stay cool.

Shock???!!! You run a zone D. people would be "shocked" if you could run with the better teams, not just slow them down.
Wait, what coach has 11 & 12 year olds playing a zone???? That's ridiculous. There is a time and a place for a zone defense, and it's not in youth lacrosse. I'm a defensive coach for my district's varsity team and a former collegiate pole. A zone defense should be used to supplement your regular defense when you encounter matchup issues. You should never run a zone at the youth level. It teaches the boys nothing and doesn't prepare them for the game at an advanced level. Generally, zone defenses are employed by coaches that don't understand the game. It's very easy to employ; however, it should only be used AFTER boys have learned the full intracies of a man defense. And no 11, 12, 13 or 14 year old has yet. Honestly, if your coach has never played the game, your team is going to have a hard time transitioning to the next level. You'll more likely find that the team will plateau and no matter how much you practice your team won't improve.

Agreed. Youth is about learning how to play the game correctly. Playing a zone at this age is playing to win instead of learning the game. That'll get old really quickly as teams/coaching gets better and their zone is exposed. Then they switch to man and get smoked because the kids can't play. Generally a youth team plays a zone because its lacks athletes at the position or the coach figures its the easiest thing to teach.
Not sure what goes on this website but just perusing through and see that this syag team has consumed numerous pages of the recent threads...not sure who they are but they seem to be wreaking havoc and pissing people off for some reason...are there any other topics besides this supposed controversial team? I don't have a kid in this age group as my kids are little older but to be bashing people-coaches-children-philosophies is some petty stuff. What has happened to respecting one another - offering helpful advice? if this is how parents act, their children are most likely going to follow suit - not a good look for our future....are there any other topics worth mentioning? The Travel season is about to kick-off next weekend there has to be some chatter about the top contenders in this age bracket - no? Who are the teams to beat?

If you don't have a kid in this age group then set up a post for the over 60 age group. You sound creepy. Do you creep tournaments also?
SYAG is obviously the team to beat. Didn't you hear?

Are people on here criticizing strategy? That's the problem in this sport plenty of old school/dated methods most likely not yielding much success - just because you were taught something 10-20 years ago doesn't mean that's the best way today - things change with time and for the better as people get smarter....to each's own....doesn't the #1 team in this age group run a zone? and run it well? They go by the name of the Bandits and anytime we've played them they ran a zone D....not to compare as I've never heard of this other team but to post opinion based comments is absurd and disrespectful. Plenty of nameless experts on this site...does anyone on here show their children what they post or even why they post? Most likely not...if so - what's the reaction? Can't be good....I think everyone is forgetting what this is all about - the KIDS. As adults we can do and say what we want but don't lose focus of the fact that's it's not about us - anymore. We had our time...leave them be and let them have fun in whatever they're being taught...opinions are perspectives - neither right or wrong but to express it in disrespectful manner - not ok.

I have one son in 2022, and one in 2021 age group...was just reading through the threads but the level of disrespect on this thread is telling to the quality of parenting that goes on...I wish you and whomever you call family well - I'm sure they can't stand you but that's for another conversation...your true colors shine through your posts (dark and gloomy)...Enjoy the misery of the 23' forum...

Many of Bandits defenders are midfielders who changed positions to be on the team. They are fast, have great stick skills and learned how to play man-to-man as a middie. I'm not sure your point is altogether relevant, but thanks a lot for contributing to the negativity that you loquaciously lament.
Who's playing in JDRF this year? What tournaments is everybody doing to start the season?

Wait, what coach has 11 & 12 year olds playing a zone???? That's ridiculous. There is a time and a place for a zone defense, and it's not in youth lacrosse. I'm a defensive coach for my district's varsity team and a former collegiate pole. A zone defense should be used to supplement your regular defense when you encounter matchup issues. You should never run a zone at the youth level. It teaches the boys nothing and doesn't prepare them for the game at an advanced level. Generally, zone defenses are employed by coaches that don't understand the game. It's very easy to employ; however, it should only be used AFTER boys have learned the full intracies of a man defense. And no 11, 12, 13 or 14 year old has yet. Honestly, if your coach has never played the game, your team is going to have a hard time transitioning to the next level. You'll more likely find that the team will plateau and no matter how much you practice your team won't improve.
Agreed. Youth is about learning how to play the game correctly. Playing a zone at this age is playing to win instead of learning the game. That'll get old really quickly as teams/coaching gets better and their zone is exposed. Then they switch to man and get smoked because the kids can't play. Generally a youth team plays a zone because its lacks athletes at the position or the coach figures its the easiest thing to teach.
Are people on here criticizing strategy? That's the problem in this sport plenty of old school/dated methods most likely not yielding much success - just because you were taught something 10-20 years ago doesn't mean that's the best way today - things change with time and for the better as people get smarter....to each's own....doesn't the #1 team in this age group run a zone? and run it well? They go by the name of the Bandits and anytime we've played them they ran a zone D....not to compare as I've never heard of this other team but to post opinion based comments is absurd and disrespectful. Plenty of nameless experts on this site...does anyone on here show their children what they post or even why they post? Most likely not...if so - what's the reaction? Can't be good....I think everyone is forgetting what this is all about - the KIDS. As adults we can do and say what we want but don't lose focus of the fact that's it's not about us - anymore. We had our time...leave them be and let them have fun in whatever they're being taught...opinions are perspectives - neither right or wrong but to express it in disrespectful manner - not ok.
Many of Bandits defenders are midfielders who changed positions to be on the team. They are fast, have great stick skills and learned how to play man-to-man as a middie. I'm not sure your point is altogether relevant, but thanks a lot for contributing to the negativity that you loquaciously lament.
Then what's the excuse with their Attack? Were they prior goalies?

What has happened to respecting one another - offering helpful advice? if this is how parents act, their children are most likely going to follow suit - not a good look for our future....are there any other topics worth mentioning? The Travel season is about to kick-off next weekend there has to be some chatter about the top contenders in this age bracket - no? Who are the teams to beat?
If you don't have a kid in this age group then set up a post for the over 60 age group. You sound creepy. Do you creep tournaments also?
I have one son in 2022, and one in 2021 age group...was just reading through the threads but the level of disrespect on this thread is telling to the quality of parenting that goes on...I wish you and whomever you call family well - I'm sure they can't stand you but that's for another conversation...your true colors shine through your posts (dark and gloomy)...Enjoy the misery of the 23' forum...
Get off your high horse, you big wimpy loser! Your kids must be very soft.

Not by what I saw happen at Blatant. BM's days are long gone. I'd put Leg-a-sea in the "C" group.
Is this the same SYAG team that fired their Defensive Coach a few weeks into the season? The only coach on the staff who actually played the sport? Now they have the dad whose claim to fame is Team Videographer calling the shots. They are good...but they are a joke.

This is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Enought already please!
SYAG and South Shore Thunder are similar in that 90% of the team play on a separate travel teams during the summer. The kids and parents are friends so they put together a team to play in some tournaments. SYAG is not a town team and shouldn't portray themselves to be.
SYAG is not as good as they think they are, my sons town travel team played them last in a tournament and beat them. It was a close game we won by either 1 or 2 goals but we are made up of one town not 5 or 6. SYAG also deserves the rep they have the coach and I believe 1 or 2 fathers were thrown out #trash

Yeah, because less than truthful items being posted on the BOTC hardly ever happens. Good luck in pushing an idea that seems completely counter to the status quo . . .

You're exactly right, and there's nothing wrong with that. A few tournaments to keep the kids playing is not a bad thing. I also agree that they should change the name to a non-town name. It will at least quiet the dorks.

Shut the "F" up SYAG annoying mom!!! Nobody cares about your team, and you are sooooo annoying. Let other people discuss lacrosse other than SYAG.

Could not agree more, not a town team and they got beat by a legit town team. Real season is upon us, all their better players now with their respective club teams, you had your 3 weeks of headlines, time to move on.
So, 2 tourneys this weekend. Summer faceoff and jdrf. I can see faceoff on tourney machine. Looks like empire green will walk away with it. But the rest should be all in the same basket, hopefully will make for some good lacrosse for them. Who's doing jdrf?
Reality check syag parents, you will never get the respect you so desperately desire and will always have an ** behind every win as a so called town team. You're not going to change the opinions of people who know​ your team so celebrate your awesomeness amongst yourselves and spare the rest of us from your conversations!!! And for Christ's sake people stop giving this club team any more publicity.

Be nice if they released the JDRF schedule though
When is the JDRF schedule coming out.
JDRF schedule will be posted on Thursday. Going to be a great day of lacrosse.
Just because our town team is a step or two behind the Bandits why do you all have to hate us.

Hmm let's see, is it the complete arrogance of syag parents or your refusal to stop calling yourselves a "town"team, you pick. Played your team and trust me nobody's jealous

A step or two - really? More like a mile or two.

There are no SYAG mommies (or daddies) posting this nonsense. It's the same person/people that wait for the subject to change and then makes sure the SYAG bullying continues by posting egotistical crap we would never say. Pretty sad and pathetic.

I have nothing to do with SYAG, but I do agree that this is getting old with the SYAG bashing nonsense.
JDRF is in Massapequa. Groups play at different school / sites
It's Bash SYAG month. The Walmart cashier parents who troll these threads pick a new enemy quite often. You'll be off the hook soon.
Thank you

My co-worker told me her son is on Icon and is playing in the JDRF as well. Didn't realize they had a team this grade level anymore.
Can an Outlaw parent advise if the Select team or the Gold team is in the JDRF

Ummm - no - True Blue has two teams at this age group. You see how much BS is posted here with little to no information. It's like a bunch of old washwomen who sit around and create gossip. Asswipe!

Can someone recommend a summer league here on long island? Travel players looking to enter competitive weekly games.
JDRF still no schedule ? Very considerate
wow! I ask a lacrosse based question and I get crickets! I guess you're all too busy d*ck measuring who has the best first grade teams. If anyone with a brain is still out there, help me out. I'm looking g for a summer league in Suffolk County for travel level players

Not sure there are any. Travel goes to the middle or late July. I think kids supplement with camp ( mine does) August 1 my kid is in football mode. Lax comes back for him in the fall.

I don't exactly where, but I do believe there's one in East Islip. The games are played right by the water. Also, I'm pretty sure the "24" organization host a summer league. Lastly, check with the Hub, I'm positive they are holding a summer league.
The coaches or clubs have the schedule, this tourney is for a good cause so keep your mouth shut!

Settle the F down, fella. The reason no one responded is because no such thing exists. We're officially into the travel season. Travel kids are going to be playing 3-5 games and have 2-3 practices a week for the next 8 weeks. They don't need, or have time for, a summer league. I'm not sure what a "travel level" player is, but it sounds like a kid with a lot of free time in the summer. Maybe look for camps or clinics. There's a ton of people offering different options: weekly, sleepaway, weekend, etc...
By the way, mine is only about 7.5" but it super girthy (like a fire hydrant).

He's looking for travel-level players. Sounds like he wants to put a mixed team in somewhere. The East Islip league is more of a town thing. I've done it a few times. Gets to be a pain. Kids don't show up. Teams bail without notice and you end up running home from the beach for nothing.

Gold won the Blatant tournament and Select had a difficult day. It's a mixed bag between the two teams.. a lot of the Select should be on Gold and some of the Gold should be on Select. The club adds kids to any of the teams and sees what sticks. I've seen some of the Gold games in a tournament and it looks like there needs a major revamp unless they play the weaker kids against weaker teams which is what I watched. It looks like the club is trying to build two teams that are identical in talent. It might take upcoming tryouts to get this done. Not sure, I don't have any skin in the game, but looks like this is what's going on. My older son played a few years ago when there was a difference between Outlaw A and B teams. Times change. Looks like parity going forward.
Guess its too much to ask for the torunament to post it. It's a good cause, yes I know thats why we are donating money too it. So keep your mouth shut

Are you talking about JDRF? If so, ask your coach. They have the schedule. The Summer Faceoff is posted on Tourney Machine (not for a good cause though). Kait's Angels has no schedule posted yet that I know of (town tourney). May not be happening from what I heard. Battle in the Valley (town tourney in Ct) schedules were also sent to coaches. Don't think there are anymore north of Maryland (and those schedules are on Tourney Machine). If you just want to see a schedule to follow scores and post negative things on BOTC then you'll have to take what you can get.
I am a volunteer covering the JDRF tournament for media purposes. I do not have a coach. I am simply trying to get the schedule to plan my day. Most tournaments release the schedule midweek, via this site or one of their own, If someone knows where it is posted, great. If not, STFU

I think you're full of crap, but if you need more info you should send an email to info@massapequalacrosse.com That's who runs the tourney.

Ok. There's a lot here. For starters gold didn't win the Blatant Tournament, they lost in the semifinals. Second., you don't have skin in the game but you know and follow them at tournaments. You also know all the players and what team they should be on. So your a dad on the gold team is the most likely answer. That's what looks like is going on.

You forgot to mention loser.
Most teams have very good kids on a 2nd team who can make the 1st team for their club. Express has several players who are as good or better but it is difficult to replace a kid on the team for a couple years if you are as good. Also, some kids just want to be on a team where they know they will play a lot and are not competing for the 2nd or 3rd line midfield.

Let me help you.....it runs all morning into the late afternoon like most tournaments. If you are covering it for media purposes, then you should plan on being there all day Saturday and Sunday and Friday night!!!!! Make sure you are wearing your press credentials!!!
How did Bluefish do today!
Who wants to know?
Anyone have a update from JDRF for 2023
If you think she's bad in outdoor tourneys, you should experience her at the indoor winter league at the hub...Brutal

My son's town team played in a league in Lindenhurst at a park on the water last summer. Competition was decent: south shore thunder, west Islip, massapequa are who I remember. Not sure if it is going on this summer though.

Yeah, joe Cat is the biggest tool on Long Island. All of the parents in the stands couldn't believe how much of a joke he is.
What happened ?
Coach Cat is one of the best travel coaches on the island, the guy knows the game and the kids love him. Outlaws Select parents could be the biggest j**ko**s on the island. They were all smiles when the score was 2-0 maybe 3-0, i forgot but you guys lost. Then the excuses started we were missing our better players STOP your crap Outlaws Daddies you guys are an average team at best. There were three knucklehead fathers talking crap the entire game kind of pathetic. News flash you guys are not that good. You guys thought you were going to roll TB and you didn't good luck this season. Maybe we will see you next week...

Great day of lax for a great cause. Kids had fun and the weather was perfect. Are you looking for drama on who the best teams were? Not what this tournament was about!

Bet that was the guy bitching about the schedule not being posted. I guess he left his media credentials home and couldn't get in!
Did Bluefish or E3 win a game?
Again, who wants to know? Have a feeling u may know the answer to your own question and are just being a tool.
In MD for the weekend, just want to know.
Anyone have any info on the fl$ Tourney this upcoming weekend. Does anyone know when the schedule will get posted? Thanks!!
Did anyone see who won the E3 - Bluefish game?
Who's asking? And why do you care if you obviously don't have a son on the team? Stop trolling

That's funny because I was there and I didn't hear much interaction between either teams sidelines. It was a good game and by saying the Outlaws are an average team, which may be the case, you are making the case for True Blue to be an average team as well since it looked like an evenly matched game. TB won but be honest with yourself, it wasn't convincing. You are just trying to stoke the fire because I have not seen anything on this forum to suggest the Outlaws were boasting they would beat any team. Why be a d*** and start trouble.

Why don't you stop, what do you care if the guy wants to know the score, maybe he's thinking about joining one of these teams next year and he wants to know how they did. Why do you have to be such a jack--s, if you don't want to answer the question just move on.
Expre$$ parents at JDFR unbelievable, screaming at opposing players, refs, and some dads even told to leave the field, classless.

It looked like Express had teams at most ages on Saturday, and I saw a fair amount again on Sunday, so yes.
Neither of the top 2 Express teams in this age bracket were there this weekend

Which team is he (Coach Cat) the coach of?
Here we go again with what team you play for....
JDRF tournament is for a great cause, many teams there, games could have been competitive if they were set up to be. Most games were blowouts.

2025 (1), 2024 (1), and 2023 (2), so four teams.

Express doesn't have B teams, they have A, A Prime, and A Double Prime! ;-) I only saw their 2024 team, and their coach was non too happy in that game! Surprisingly, they had less than 20 players on their sideline - not the usual 30+!
How does S2S rank with long Island 2023 team... Top 5? Bottom 5? Middle of the road? Curious???
Did you talk to the Express parents at the tournament? What team is your son on that you were talking to them?

Maybe they feel that way because they had to bring down a bunch of B team kids to give them half a shot. One parent told me they added a good chunk off the B team and a lot of the kids from last year don't really play (his included). This was done because the original team was making express look bad. They promised the B kids lots of playing time to move down.

Based on last year - definitely top 5. So far this year it seems they are having personnel problems (injuries at key positions, brought on some 2024s that should not be playing with 2023s). According to their website they are in the NLF this weekend - so we will know pretty quickly where they stand...

Unlike you, I guess, I actually talk to other lacrosse parents from different teams. It's nice to hear other people's opinions and experiences with travel lacrosse. This is our first experience with travel and we are just enjoying watching our son play the game he loves. We are also seeing the ugly side of the sport very quickly.
S2S was in Maryland this past weekend, Crabs beat them and they beat 90+1 Maryland

I love posts like this. People that look at other teams websites to see where they are playing next. For 11/12 year old lacrosse. Get a good look in the mirror pal - you have some problems. Let the kids have some fun - on all teams.

How do you figure? Are you telling me it is all the same kids from last year? He pointed out which one was his kid. He stood on the sideline more than 1/2 the game. Certain kids played almost the entire game. Maybe your kid was one that is riding the bench now.

Maybe his kid is also playing in the NFL thus weekend and is playing S2S or saw them in the bracket. Why does he instantly have problems?? Anytime someone does like a response on this board they say the poster is lying or has problems.

Isn't the point to improve the roster? I was pretty tough last year. How they did depended on how long the defense could stand up to getting bombarded. Much of the team is new, some from outside and some from the b team. We had kids from the 2023 b team come onto the 2022 team to help the overcrowding.

I agree. This is a lacrosse discussion website, and a 2023 thread. There's nothing wrong with questioning where a team stands. They are a very good team. They had a strong season last year and are likely looking to continue. We've reached a point where there are probably 5 LI teams that could win any given LI tournament (Bandits still the odds on favorite). This weekend should provide some really great lacrosse. Lots of really good teams at NLF.

Yes I was at the game, Express parents yelling and cursing at opposing player for very hard hit (hit resulted in penalty), nonstop yelling at refs, game stopped to warn Express parents to cut it out, then finally one parent was told to leave or game can not be continued. After that remaining parents got the hint.

opposing teams parents were yelling as well.... not only express parents.... I was there waiting for the next game to start...
How do you all think Sat will turn out for the LI teams against others? Look like some good match ups.

Who did Express play in that game?
Millon does a National Championship for 2022s and Elite 8 which is basically the Nat Championship for 2024s - why nothing for 2023s?

Those are not really National Championships. They are Invitationals for some of the top teams. LI. Md and PA. Very regional. There are a ton of really competitive tourneys this year for 2023's (2 NLF's, NXT, Naptown, Young Guns, etc... ) All of these will have many of the top teams in attendance. Oh, and no one really cares. As crazy as 2023 parents are, we're way lower on the crazy scale than the 2025, 2024 and 2022 parents. This age group has more talented teams than the rest. We're much happier watching our kids grow and get better without worrying about all of the BS that the others do. Good tourneys, good scrimmages, and increasing skill level is all we need.
And, if we're being completely honest, the Bandits would win it 99 times out of 100 so what's the point?

Recon . They beat them pretty bad. My son had the game after so I caught most of the game.The yelling was on both sides as noted by someone else but was really escalating over on the express parents end . The ref stopped play made someone leave then the two refs switched sides of the field.. On a positive note I watched all the coaches from both teams go over to the boy that got it hit and the kid that laid the hit went to him and spoke with him. It didn't look like any retaliation on the field.

My son was also in the next game, all the yelling started from the Express dads, it escalated with the big hit, the other teams parents only responded when the Express dad started yelling and cursing about the player who made the big hit.

Look again. The "NLF Under Armour Main Event" is for older kids, 2022-2018. It's a showcase. "NLF Super Series 2017" is for youth teams 2025-2022.
Any good match ups at Forsberg this weekend
Any info on this NJ Riot teams?
I think its the first year for NJ Riot North, which is just a Bergen County offshoot of the original Riot team. Bergen County has seen an explosion of travel teams - I think the talent is spread too thin. NJ Riot has been around longer and is more or less a Morris County area team. It should be the better of the two but who knows. I don't think NJ Riot won much last summer at this level, although I think some of their teams are good.
Keep in mind though that grade on grade the NJ teams will be a bit older owing to a different school calendar year. For instance, a true 2023 team from NY should have nearly its whole roster born in 2005. The NJ teams will be more akin to half old 2005/young 2004.

Prediction - Express will underperform. AJ will be silent on the sidelines. Parents will be wishing for BM to return.

And then you wake up.
Why are you tracking a 2023 division so hard when your son is obviously not in the tournament. If he was you would know where it is on TM. Will you be the same troll bashing teams based on scores you read on the App??!!
AJ was stoic as they went down to Laxachusetts. BM would have pulled out the game.

Guy, his new team lost to a town team. He's a terrible coach that overachieved with a bunch of very skilled players.
Laxachusetts down with a team of men. Embarrassing
Nothing new there. Same team that was heaR a few weeks ago. But, they're still beatable.

Sure they are but you don't think the Crabs and Laxa ended up playing each other in the semis for no reason. Bandits and Express in the other one. Championship games in this heat and this age is rough. Then add in how tough the game before was on your middies. Either way welcome to Long Island lacrosse. Don't give me the 1-4 and 2-3 tournament rules when you control who plays who in pool play. Better have your game on when showing up and run the numbers to get 1 seed. No mercy on the weak teams.

He looked very stoic beating the Bandits. Great job, by great guy leading a great group of kids.
Well done Express! Congrats beating the Bandits!!
Took long enough. Would have beat them last year with BM coaching them.
And than get crushed by the Crabs...

Remember the Bandits parent who broke down the standings and put Bandits in a league of their own? Is that the 4th place league (of their own?) all by themselves in 4th place?
Had to be a fluke. Crabs spanked them in the finals.

Very disappointing for bandits.
Kids peak at different times, maybe the bandits have reached their summit,..
Yeah I'm really not sure what 2023 means to Boston and Baltimore but it clearly isn't 11/12 year olds. I understand that teams may have 2-3 kids that hit puberty early but when 75% of the team is 5 foot eight and up it kinda makes u scratch your head

You are an idiot. Express had to play 5 games today in 90 degree heat . On the way to the finals they beat a good Shore to Shore team & then a very good Bandit team. Give credit where credit is due.

No one was beating the crabs. They were bigger than the coaches. Bandits are lucky they lost to Express. Crabs would've dropped a dime on them.
These Bandit parents are drowning on the Kool Aide.

The JS losing streak. SB WLax, Lizards now Bandits. Midas touch turned to the touch of doom.
As a Bandit parent congrats to express

Can we talk about how S2S barely beat some of the weaker teams at the tourney and lost to the worst team there?? They are a shell of the team they were last year. What happened?

Here we go... Long Island parents at their best... everyone cheats when you guys get beat....just because kids are bigger it does not mean they are older.... Crabs gets the best kids from Maryland Virginia and D.C. On their team.. but whatever makes you feel better

I would be embarrassed if I had my son play kids 2 years younger. And then they fist pump and cheer wins? You should win, you are 2 years older than most of the team.

The sun is setting on that half assed team. They have been exposed. Definitely not a top 5 team anymore. They're more in the empire/outlaw range now.
To the arrogant Igloo 2023 dad who @ 2-0 in the championship game asks the ref if there was a mercy rule in the finals, you sir are an [lacrosse]hole. I truly hope you get skin cancer with your stupid hat and bandaids all over your face. Karmaisabitch you smug fool
Outlaws already beat them this year.

Lolol I use to be able to not stand the guy but I'd be the first to admit those teams wouldn't be what they are without him Bandits are a great team that have given our team something to strive for which has helped make this age group better. My olde4r boy is a 2021 and we watched the crush team win their championship by more than 10 in the 2020 championship. Man they are good. Today was the day of the express probably won't be the last time we play each other. As far as the crabs they were good but our boys were emotionally spent from the OT win over Bandits.

You Crabs apologists are hilarious! All of us Maryland parents know your team is loaded with hold backs. Our kids go to the same schools as the kids on the Crabs, and know their true ages. But I guess if you keep telling yourself that 80% of your team shouldn't be playing 2021 and 2022, you will eventually believe it is true.

Spread too thin raking in the almighty lacrosse dollar. Can't believe parents pay money to help him build a team around his own kids in center stage.
To the sweet lax Dad who posted this stupid message. ARROGANT!! To wish anyone to get cancer is a really F$&king P&@@y. To wait and post on BOTC, go check yourself. Say that s$?t to someone's face.
Also, Express played 5 games Sunday and Crabs only 3 because Crabs played 3 of 4 pool games on Saturday. Bandits a class act and set the standard making this age group better as a result!
Crabs and Laxachusetts are a year to two years older this remains a major factor till 9th grade. Then it evens out when kids of age actually hit puberty at the right time. Same time as a 6th grader that is supposed to be 8th
Watched Express play and they played a solid smart game. Sh$t talk all you want -- the team is excellent and getting better every year. No one can take that away from them. They are building a great team that can compete anywhere. Losing to Crabs should be no surprise to anyone with the Maryland double holdbacks.
How was the Forsberg this past weekend. I know TrueBlue won the 2023 division but was there any competition there. How was NJ Riot? A friend did say Express Hedstrom was solid

This is very true and I saw this with my older boys as they were playing and to that point in 2019 and 2020 crabs and Laxachusetts didn't make championships. One piece of advice I can give is every tournament will be different and every summer will be different as some kids grow some don't etc
2023 Igloo Dad you are classless. mercy rule? Moron

It's a shame because it ruins the confidence of the kids that lose to them, meanwhile they're two years older BUT it will only make the Long Island boys better AND there were a couple of 6th grade teams that gave those 8th graders a run for their money. That says something about their true ability.

Saw it first hand with my older son. Funny thing is that it all evens out when it matters the most. The crabs and Laxachusetts have done this for years
Now THAT is hilarious! 11!!!

Independent opinion as to some of the challenges Bandits have faced over the last year after dominating for so long - JS kept players that were either close to RP or families that played football for him in fall and kissed his butt and let other higher ceiling athletes leave the team rather than develop those players. It is now coming back to bite him as they are realizing Bandits will never come close to matching excellence of older Crush team. Many Bandits players while solid lacrosse players are only average athletes (at best) and not fast, quick, high twitch boys with that mix of toughness and motor and this is when that plateaus. Bad news for you Bandit parents but if I am noticing this (and obviously coaches you are playing against are game planning for it), then those college coaches you expect to beat down your door will also notice. Take it from a parent that has been through this rodeo (and if JS is honest with you, he will tell you the same thing) that a college coach will ALWAYS take the superior athlete and they look for players that can excel in at least two sports to show athletic versatility.

Lolol I'm enjoying the LI people being angry but I'll even laugh at that
HA!! You have no spine. Classless , you should pay attention more to what goes on around your sideline. I have no problem with team support and siding with your team. To go as low as wishing cancer on someone. PUNK MOVE !! You have some real good parents on your side line...just a shame.
Good luck the rest of the way, you have some real good kids on that team.

Betting 15. Takers?
I know for a fact many of the crabs are "going to be 2023" but many are not yet going through 7th grade year. That's the problem w this no documentation required. My son is a 2022 and goes to school with a few of these boys so I am speaking in the know

I think you misunderstood the question about the mercy rule. In the pool play game the refs gave the team the ball once they were down six goals. They shouldn't do this in a tournament with a championship when goals against is used to break a tie. I'm not sure but I think the dad you are insulting was asking if they were going to give the other team the ball if for some reason his team went up six. Which they should not do in a championship game. Legitimate question that I don't think was meant to insult anyone.

Ethically it is all wrong. Don't pump your fist and cheer when your son's beat a team of 11/12 year olds that are a foot shorter.
If our Long Island 2023 kids played in a 2025 division we would dominate too!

So Bethesda is as bad as the Crabs you are telling us? I can't believe there parents would admit to that. It has to be beyond embarrassing thinking my son will be able to drive in 8th grade..
Loo

So you are telling me that you marched up to opposing teams parents and demanded to know how old they are and they freely told you that all of their players are a year or 2 older than your kids....Come on man...Your are so full of it. You got schooled by better teams....Stop looking for excuses and just get better.... I hope your twisted comments don't rub on to your kids.....Soft cry babies....
If schools went just by the birth year of a kid there would be no problems.
2004- 7th Grade
2005- 6th Grade
2006- 5th Grade
if you were born in that year you have to play with that grade that's it, then you wont have to worry about a kid 5'10 180lbs playing in a 12yr old Lax tournament.

You're on the internet already, and Google is your friend - they show up as the first result if you searched "Central Kings lacrosse". Why would you take the time to post here waiting for an answer???! SMH

Why not just ignore what the schools do, and just have the kids play with their birth year, like most other organized team sports. 2005s vs 2005s. 2006s vs 2006s and so on. All backed up by birth certificates and official rosters submitted to USA Lacrosse.
Moreover, even if a kid is a holdback, NY kids grade on grade are younger than most states because NY uses a younger calendar year for school. A summer 2005 birthday, for instance, in many other states would be a 5th grader now (finishing up the school year). In NY they are almost always 6th graders. Thus, without holding back, NY teams will be younger on the average. The holdback thing just makes it worse.
I have yet to hear a rational argument in support of the use of a kid's grade to determine against whom he competes in youth sports.

Long Island parents show their true colors on here... Grasping and stretching the truth to feel good about getting whooped....You guys run your mouths on this site and on the field claiming your teams are all world and the "best in the country"..... Then when you loose you claim that opponents cheat or they are all 2 years older... [lacrosse] off with your lies....ridiculous bunch of trash talkers... It's NLF lacrosse and it's a partnership of some of the best lacrosse clubs around. If any club would be out their jeopardizing those relationships and cheating to make their club better that partnership would most likely end for offending clubs...No one cheated or did anything unethical... you just lost to a better team so get over it....

Google is your friend.
I overheard the same conversation from Bethesda parents. We were watching Crabs/Warriors along side them as we were playing them next.on that field and both groups of parents were commenting that the size differential between Crabs and Warriors was ridiculous. Bethesda parent said their team is mostly 12-13 yr olds and go to school with some of the Crabs and who are NOT 6th graders.

School ended Friday for most of whom you would be referring. It's enrollment for upcoming school year, not what school year you just finished.

12-13 is normal in both of those areas for that grade. This is old news, not even news, just an old fact.
The birth year cut off works for hockey...however for lacrosse we should stick with Sept 1st cut off date...if all sports go to birth year than the November/December kids get stewed in every sport...and yes my kid is December born...I've heard baseball is also going to birth year

Money. Growth of youth lacrosse doubled last year, beating all previous years of growth. Has been fastest growing youth sport for over two decades, but last year doubled for the first time in a single year. The market agrees with the system.

No, you did not overhear any such thing.
One ref approached my kid at halftime of their game vs Laxa this weekend at NLF and said, "Don't worry son, half of the Laxachussetts team is in 8th grade." I'm personally aware of 2 Laxa kids that are 14. Lacrosse world....please go to age-based teams!
It's grade based, correct? Why does age matter? Because kids are born 9/2003, that's 2022 for most states. Amd if it's 7 or 8/2003 and a parent holds a kid, so what. It's common for parents to do this for a lot reasons and most are not for sports. Get over it.

It's a shame because it ruins the confidence of the kids that lose to them, meanwhile they're two years older BUT it will only make the Long Island boys better AND there were a couple of 6th grade teams that gave those 8th graders a run for their money. That says something about their true ability.
2 years older? Whatever makes you feel better....The biggest kid on the Crabs team is 11..You people are hilarious..
Wrong! 11? ha! I coached some of these boys a few years back. That roster is definitely 12 and up only.

Why not just ignore what the schools do, and just have the kids play with their birth year, like most other organized team sports. 2005s vs 2005s. 2006s vs 2006s and so on. All backed up by birth certificates and official rosters submitted to USA Lacrosse.
Moreover, even if a kid is a holdback, NY kids grade on grade are younger than most states because NY uses a younger calendar year for school. A summer 2005 birthday, for instance, in many other states would be a 5th grader now (finishing up the school year). In NY they are almost always 6th graders. Thus, without holding back, NY teams will be younger on the average. The holdback thing just makes it worse.
I have yet to hear a rational argument in support of the use of a kid's grade to determine against whom he competes in youth sports.
Money. Growth of youth lacrosse doubled last year, beating all previous years of growth. Has been fastest growing youth sport for over two decades, but last year doubled for the first time in a single year. The market agrees with the system.
One has nothing to do with the other!
Bethesda has 3 kids that are 13 already. everyone else is 11/12.

One could post whole links to slews of studies that speak to the differences in youth athletics for even just a difference in 6 months for pre-HS SAs (and no one really disputes these studies!), But, no, continue to push the argument that none of it matters.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are delusional if you think a kid born in 2003 doesn't have an advantage over a kid born on 2005. You people are cheating to win a T-shirt, great job...

I agree with this crazy thing is how do the parents who send these men into these games against little boys actually cheer and feel good about it. "O'doyle rules!!"
The Laxachustts group is older as well but they are honest and talk about how the model up north with prep schools dictates this type of thing the Maryland crew does it but denies it. There are boys on the crabs team that actually just finished 7th grade which is 2022 but are "intending" on reclassing so they aren't 2023 yet . Which is cheating how do I know this my son goes to same school and is a true 2023

Let me start by saying I have an actual 2023 and we live in Maryland. I can tell you parents are approached by a certain club down here about certain posssibilities that could be available if there not was a 2024. Based on that and knowing many of these families this crab team is much closer to a 2022 team than a 2023. One thing I will say is that while most and ill say most of the team is older one of the bigger boys is an actual 2023
It's commonly known the laxachusetts coaches tell their players to play in the year they "anticipate" they will go to college and not so much the grade they are currently in.

This is 6th grade lacrosse lolol. Came on here to find age appropriate camps and read some of this embarrassing fodder
If you want your kid to get better at lacrosse, drop them off at practice, let the coaches do the work, and never ever let them hear you whine about a kid a year older. There is no place ahead in life for that argument, so don't teach it to them now.

No reason. Game was a fluke. They play 20 times, Express wins one of them. Just a fact.

How is your whining working out
interesting there has been no response from Bandit parents from this post yesterday - guess truth is sinking in. Much more diversity in the game now then even just a few years ago and non traditional lax geographies like CA, FL & TX are starting to take the spots on those D1 rosters. Like poster said yesterday, elite athletes will always win out over the long run. Hey, on the bright side, as long as you live close to JS, play football for him, kiss his butt and allow him to build a team around his sons, there will always be a spot for you to line his pockets. Remember, don't speak up and never ask questions......

I'm glad the bandits lost but why does there have to be a response. They lost a game If they came on here crying you would be unleashing about that (serg) They are all in 6th grade and it is travel lacrosse virtually every team loses throughout the summer. Man oh man

You're on the internet already, and Google is your friend - they show up as the first result if you searched "Central Kings lacrosse". Why would you take the time to post here waiting for an answer???! SMH

Again, Google is your friend - their website would pretty much answer your questions, but you want someone else to go do the legwork for you and spoon feed you info . . .
(And, "yes", I looked at their website, and there more than enough info there to figure out what they are.)

Unfortunately, The part of the post regarding JS is very, very true, EXCEPT the part about lining his pockets, otherwise right on.

The Bandit loss last summer to Igloo was also a fluke ? Don't worry the Bandits are still the greatest. Good luck this weekend.
The Bandits losing this weekend, whether people think it was a fluke or not, is great for the game and this age group. The huge gap between them and other top LI teams has been closing in and this weekend showed that. I also think it's interesting that they no longer play up a year, which they did for years, because again they are not as far out in front as they once were. This could make for an interesting summer of tournaments, which is always nice. No one wants to see the same team dominating every tourney, well unless your JS.

Says the Crabs dad lol I agree 6th grade lacrosse is going to have ups and downs. Other than maybe 2020 every age group has a different winner every tournament. Too many good teams out there
True Blue 2023 has beaten the outlaw select team the last two times by at least 4 goals and has yet to lose to them.

If your not a True Blue person how do you know all there scores. There are a B+ team.
True Blue always, and this is true with my older boy as well, put a competitive team on field. They get decent players and send a lot kids on to the next level.
I dont get why all the fuss about true blue and outlaws select. Both good teams. Are they top 5? No, and thered nothing wrong with that. Theres far more people and kids on teams 5 through 30 than there are 1 through 5. Sure most of the talk ends up being about the best teams. That's natural in sports and discussion. I'd bet most of the morons causing trouble on here are the same people. Same couple people bash bandits, same couple people bash outlaws, etc. Coming from a dad who's kids have been on teams across the spectrum, very good to bad. Currently my youngest is on a b team. He had the option of playing on this team with some friends, or on a better team where he didn't know anyone. He chose the "worse" team with his buddies.
I for one am looking forward to his tourney this weekend. Lunatics and all. Remember there are far more normal people out there.

Outlaw organization does not have a True A team for every grade level. You can call it what ever you want -- black-gold- select - Just not "A".

"Theres far more people and kids on teams 5 through 30 than there are 1 through 5." Most insightful comment I've seen on BOTC in a while. Yet, the 'Top 5' posters/commenters look with disdain on everything below - they are elitist (which, by the way, is NEVER a compliment!).

Well said. There are plenty AA and A caliber players playing on so called B teams for various reasons. Proximity to home, friends, coach, etc. I can tell you from experience these players will do very well in high school and, if they choose, college.

Well lets take a look at this dumb comment. In the older years every team hopes to get invited to the Philly Showcase and Naptown. Only the best of the best get invited in the entire country. The only long Island clubs that have teams that got invited to both were the Outlaws, Express, Igloo and 9 plus 1. I think you are bias or lack the appropriate knowledge to make such a statement. I will accept were teams are invited to play as a better indicator of who has the best teams ahead of your your opinion.

I know some boys that play TB on different aged teams that have previously played for Igloo, Express, and 89+2 - they all left for differing reasons: too many players on the team, too much politics/empty promises from Dir's and coaches, general over-the-top approach, etc. The bottom line is that they were top tier players by virtue of playing on those other teams, but chose not to stay there. The biggest difference between the A and B teams are the level of depth of these players. But TB has some top lines that could match up with A teams' top guys, but their 2nd and 3rd would not.

I know some boys that play TB on different aged teams that have previously played for Igloo, Express, and 89+2 - they all left for differing reasons: too many players on the team, too much politics/empty promises from Dir's and coaches, general over-the-top approach, etc. The bottom line is that they were top tier players by virtue of playing on those other teams, but chose not to stay there. The biggest difference between the A and B teams are the level of depth of these players. But TB has some top lines that could match up with A teams' top guys, but their 2nd and 3rd would not.
There's nothing wrong with that at all better than being in other organizations B teams
We're not a B team. We're an A club. JC is our chosen one.

You can say that about many B+ teams, the starting 10 very good but after that big decline in talent.

That is a very accurate statement and one of the reasons True Blue, Outlaws and other teams don't beat Express, etc. TB, etc. #1's probably match up with the AA team #3 or #4 which is still very good. What is also true and parents should keep this in mind, getting invited to big tournaments when the kids are older is great but if your kid is on the bench it will not make a difference. If your kid is the 7th middie on Express but the 1st or 2nd on TB or another team what would you do? If you are smart, you move to TB or Outlaws or another program so that your kid gets more touches. Combine the increase playing time with playing against better teams will only improve your son. There are no stats to prove this but I would guess there are far more starters on B+ teams playing in college than bench warmers on the A teams.
some good games on the schedule at lax fest this weekend. will express dominate the bracket or any chance warriors, True Blue or Empire can make a run for it? other teams look like from out of state so hard to gauge them yet.

not sure if that was a sarcastic response, but it looks like the schedule is the same as it was when it was released.

I really do hope it was supposed to be funny because the warriors are playing none of the other top teams. How obvious could this be the way its set up?
They don't play Haugen (but play Hedstrom instead)? They don't play True Blue and they don't play Empire. Really want that t shirt.
Warriors and Haugen are obviously the top teams, set up for them to meet in finals, we'll see, but not that surprising - usually how these things go. I'll leave it up to you to start ranking the teams after those two, maybe an upset, but based on what I've seen a bit of a gap between the top two and balance of Long Island teams. Good luck, look forward to watching.

What about the Outlaws? Aren't they relevant?

Not funny and you are an idiot.
The schedule definitely changed. Our times stayed the same but two of the original teams we were playing were swapped out. Like a prior poser said it was set up for a Warriors Haugen final. Pretty pathetic, but typical.

Well said. There are plenty AA and A caliber players playing on so called B teams for various reasons. Proximity to home,
friends, coach, etc. I can tell you from experience these players will do very well in high school and, if they choose, college.
Yes true I agree, but what does that have too do with True Blue.
Not sure people are talking about true blue that Steve associated with the club it's borderline weird

Express vs 91 B in the championship Neither team will play a close game. Schedule was adjusted accordingly

Get off your high horse. Your team isn't as good as you think they are. Welcome to the truth.
And how did your team do today?

Hey Moron, You sound like an idiot and probably look the part.
Now I know why you ALL talk about True Blue. Here's my breakdown... talented players and they play hard. Coaches are a bit violent - screaming for defenders to "put your stick through his sternum!" Drunk dads yelling for their sons to "knock that kid on his [lacrosse]!" When the other team celebrates a goal. Seems like blue is fitting as most parents work at Walmart for sure!

Just who would you like them to play ?
Coaches are not violent and a poke check is when you run through a sternum, through the middle and maybe express should bring kids down as usual
TB very quiet now!

2022 AA Express kid playing for 2023 this weekend. This team just beat the Bandits last week. They need to bring in ringers to beat our boys today? Very classy, Express. What a joke.

Not in tournament

That family has been with every club on the island twice. We were told he wouldn't play with us and this weekend there he is at laxfest Have to think(hope) Aj was forced goodluck to everyone at laxfest
Empire is the team to beat
Does True Blue Panthers have father coaches? Exploring options. Had enough daddy ball on current team.

He's 15 so enough already. The fact that you support that is sad.

You Walmart people can't accept a loss? Calling a 12 year old a 15 year old makes you feel better? Maybe the math is tough for you Mastic people. So I'll break it down in a way you can understand. Let's say Jimmy at Walmart needs a price check on isle 5. If Jimmy was on Isle17 and traveled to isle 5, how many isles did Jimmy travel?
True Blue beats 91 warriors in playoffs and loses in braveheart to the honey badgers in the championship.. that's where the hype is. They Should've won too.

It"s aisle genius. Maybe try an English class. Way to try and embarrass others and have it backfire.
Either way, it doesnt change the fact he plays for 2022.
The crappy part is it dilutes your win and you really don't need him. Play with your team, you got a bunch of talented kids. You don't need to bring a ringer.
Bandits lose again

Cue the excuses from the HB parents....3, 2, 1 annnnnd go....,,
But they lost to Empire green? Something's up there.
Let him play for them and bring down more players. Coach cat will come up with a game plan to beat them. TB only getting better and will pass them by shortly
I heard he only had one goal today? Figured him out easily

Bottom line - for the tournament True Blue 3wins/3losses and Express 6 wins/0 losses. Close only counts in horseshoes. Better luck next time.
Why are they allowed to cheat? That's been a long running issue with Express in general. They aren't proving anything to anyone. I guess if it makes them feel better its good for them, but unfortunately if they are permitted to do this they will continue to do so unless there's a way to prevent it. Maybe they won, but they are still LOSERS

You would know better than me about aisles now wouldn't ya Ms. Walmart
If the kid is15 as the True Blue coach accused him of during the handshake, then how's he playing at WSYL this year? His 15 year old brother played there with Crush 2 years ago. How can he be 15 and his brother be 15? Get over the fact that's he's good.

Mom because you have a history of it None of us want him on this team
There were some great games in the B bracket today. LI knights played great. Fighting Ducks has some talented kids. Icon team was a surprise. Didn't know they had a team at the grade and played well. Express White back to last year's status. Expected more from Brooklyn. All in all a great 2 days of lax.

Thank goodness that your son's team won by a goal so that the you can send that post and feel really good about yourself. What a complete tool bag. AJ deserves a raise for having you as a parent on his team.

Doesn't matter they build their talent and will get more talent. Wait until the next time they see them. Express got out coached and True Blue will only get better with the coaching
True Blue lost 13-5. Coach cat figures them out and adjusts then loses by 1 in brace heart. Just wait until next time.
AJ wasn't forced. BM would never have allowed it. Total BS having him play.
Says the Loser Express parent.

How about the fact that when he played for The Bandits he could only play in grade based tournaments and not age based? Everyone knows this kid and how
he goes to private school and is somehow a 2023 kid. The problem here is the kid has talent, works hard and is a nice kid. He doesn't need to be subjected to this crazy stuff. Same kid played in Koehler with the Florida based town team. Pretty sure he isn't 15 but definitely not age based. Tournament was grade based though I think. My take is simple. If parents want to pay the money to watch another kid play in their sons spot more power to them.
My son knows the boy who played for express He is 14 turning 15 this summer

You can't build talent if you keep the same kids on the field all the time. Working with & developing talent means letting the kids get playing time experience.

Doesn't matter they build their talent and will get more talent. Wait until the next time they see them. Express got out coached and True Blue will only get better with the coaching
You can't build talent if you keep the same kids on the field all the time. Working with & developing talent means letting the kids get playing time experience.
The boy that played this weekend or express is in fact 14 years old. Which I personally believe is a problem on so many levels. Safety sanity. That he is playing 2023 is and should be an eye opener
Nice job AJ.

If this were true, he'd not be allowed to play WSYL. They had to submit birth Certificates. You knew that already

Sorry goalie dad. You'll get used to it.
There is no way other express parents (even with the win) are happy the kid came down to play. I know I would be livid. What does that say about the rest of the kids? You aren't good enough? Is that the message being sent? And lets be real its not the kids fault, his parents have hopped from club to club for YEARS and caused this themselves.
I don't blame Aj. It was forced on him by MC. None of the patents were happy about it. NOT one
Crabs any good? Or just holdbacks
Crabs any good? or just hold backs
All holdbacks. Some twice. THEY are 14 and 15 --- but are legit 2023!
Ahhh... the sound of defeat. Winners are planning their next win. You guys should get back to your Drywall jobs and ringing up customers.
the kid on Express that everyone is talking about is at least one year older. Im a TB parent and an Express parent said he was and also said yesterday was the first time he played with Haugen. That parent was also pissed that the kid came down and his kid plays a lot so it wasn't sour grapes on the Express dad. If it is the case its a shame because the team is good without him. The other big attacker handles himself well enough no need to bring in an older kid. Unfortunately he isn't the only kid on the team that is 13 or will b 13 this year. Either way they are a good team and I enjoyed the games. TB has gotten better and Im looking forward to the rest of the travel season. Congrats Haugen on the tourney win and to my TB team great job this weekend.

Lies. He played for them a few weeks back at Pro Player Spring Jam too. Get used to itt Express Parents. He'll be there whenever it's convenient.

Agreed. What happened to outlaws in that last game? Brooklyn team plays hard but didn't see that coming.
Wow! Cheating on express A, daddy ball on express b, and loudmouth annoying parents on a subpar express c. Incredible organization.

Completely agree with your sentiment, but it's "[lacrosse]". A beyond arrogant [lacrosse].
Take his giant Lefty attackman off of his 2020 team and they would have lost many games.

You have the pressure of tryouts, the constant work all off season with the team, the private training to try and gain any edge you can, you battle for playing time in tournaments with running time and large rosters, you pay thousands of $$ for the this. Then your organization just brings in players that take playing time away from your kid. This would be hard for any parent to take.

2nd line was put in o start the game. Had to try and come back after team was behind so much.
I think it is safe to say TB 2023 is top 5 or at least a contender for top 5. They had the toughest schedule this tournament and still made the championship, which they lost in brave heart. Even with a back to back game. Seems like 91 did not want them to be where they got. Especially changing TB schedule constantly and making 91 warriors easier.

Everyone knows he is 14 the question goes to who is responsible for this and how the org thinks it son to add a player like this to our team and put our team in this type of situation what is the benefit parents we're not happy and many of the boys were not either as it's another player that is absorbing minutes. Forget the fact of a 14 year old sixth grader competing against much younger and smaller boys. Takes away from the actual team.

Sent an email last night I'm sure I won't hear back but it is really aggravating. Heard a bit about the ST A dont know the details and I am too angry to care. Is winning a tournament that big of a deal that disrupting our team becomes the side effect. Playing time for kids that earned it. Had no interaction with parents but not positive reps from what we have heard. Maybe it was the heat lol

Depends on the team - Joe Cat currently has the 2025 through 2023 teams. Not sure how they will deal with next year's two 2023 teams. That said, most of their coaches that might have sons on their team are bona fide lax coaches elsewhere, IE, college, HS, pro (Lizards), etc. If your concern is about qualified coaches, then I don't think that's an issue. If your concern is with a player here or there making a team and/or getting more time than he should, then there is always that when a father coaches - just ask Bill Cherry! ;-)

I don't think anyone has any issues with the players or the coaches. Players are solid and appear to be well coached. Time will tell if they are a legitimate AA team that competes consistently with Express, 90+1, etc. What is easy to see is that many (not all) of the parents are a-holes. They are loudmouthed and obnoxious on the sidelines. They think it is ok to talk back to the referee but when another teams parent does it they are the first to say let the him ref the game. They have double standards for everything. I wish it was the excessive drinking but they are probably like that all the time. You know the type, they berate you for doing something even though they do it themselves.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not totally true, some of the coaches coach on the college and HS level, but the majority of the coaches are Dad coaches and a couple are either college players or recently graduated players. I would say 90% of there kids deserve to be on a team. However, some of the Dad coaches kids get more playing time which is always the case. It happens at every program on every level, that's life. I'm not saying its right but its a fact. Joe Cat no doubt spreads himself thin but he's a great coach. TB is definitely a good team that's getting better.

Any team that practices a lot is the way to go Wherever your kid is improving is the only thing that matters.

That has to be an Empire parent complaining about other parents. The empire parents were out of control. The TB Express championship game parents were fine and very nice when a few of the kids got hurt in that game. Great game and sportsmanship.

That is true but kids are getting older and they can see when a coaches son starts and plays the entire game or is not called out for his mistakes. Then your job as a parent becomes harder and harder as you try to convince your son to attend practice, work hard and do the right thing. They kid will eventually see there is no payoff.

Agreed express parents were more annoyed about the player situation than anything else. Was a great game tho
2025 TB coach should be ashamed of his behavior on the sideline this weekend at Laxfest. I wouldn't let my kid play for him even was Paul Rabin himself.

that's quite comical. You must be referring to the TB mom who couldn't keep her mouth shut and kept talking horribly about an empire kid....that is until the Empire mom put her in her place. Then it was crickets after that.
As parents, on the sidelines, talking about the game or a call you don't agree with or a play, that's fine, but it's an unspoken rule that you don't go after someones kid like that. ESPECIALLY when his mom gave you numerous warnings that enough was enough before she went in and had enough with the TB mom. There were no issues with any Empire parents during any game aside from that game and that ONE mom.
Who is Paul Rabin, name doesn't ring a bell, lol.
Empire parents are White Trash.

Are you serious the TB mom said something when that kid hauled off and hit the TB player in the back while he was laying on the ground. You are an absolute moron and so was the mother. She put no one in there place. The TB Mom was sticking up for the kid that was hit on the ground and Empire Mommy didn't like what every parent was saying because it was a trash move on the kid. Its a shame for Suffolk families because I know some good ones but every game or tournament its always the Suffolk trash that stands out.

Your right Coach Cat is the only coach that has cursed, he's such a bad person. Stop it you don't like Coach Cat we get it. The guy is a great coach and gets the most out of his kids.

True Blue 2023 has been doing this for years. You can set a clock to it. Not sure if it's the head coach, but definitely their tall asst coach. He loves to turn an engage the parents on sideline and trash talk. He is a classless man. When they win a game they run to BOC and pound their chest and say how bad the other teams parents are; they call them abusive and babies. They love to talk about how awesome they are. When TB loses they run on here to talk about bad refs, no balls on end lines, sun in the goalies eyes the whole game or whatever excuse they can think of.

I don't think anyone has any issues with the players or the coaches. Players are solid and appear to be well coached. Time will tell if they are a legitimate AA team that competes consistently with Express, 90+1, etc. What is easy to see is that many (not all) of the parents are a-holes. They are loudmouthed and obnoxious on the sidelines. They think it is ok to talk back to the referee but when another teams parent does it they are the first to say let the him ref the game. They have double standards for everything. I wish it was the excessive drinking but they are probably like that all the time. You know the type, they berate you for doing something even though they do it themselves.
Dude, Joe Cat is the leader of the loud mouths!!!!!
Coming from someone who knows nothing about coach cat
Have witnessed it multiple times on the sideline yelling at the kids or cursing continuously.
Cat is the MOST overrated coach out there. He's a complete D-Bag! And for True Blue.. we we saw their true colors this weekend when they finally played real teams. Go back to the C bracket

That's why he crushed express B, 91 warriors, and went to brave heart with Haugen. You don't have the highest lacrosse IQ do you? I did not know C teams could do that. I guess all those other teams are C teams also. Thanks for letting everyone know

So, playing in the finals in many age groups in the A brackets, but losing there (largely all to Express) means they are C teams? That's your logic and though process??! Please go back to your former schools and berate your teachers for not teaching you any critical thinking skills.

True Blue has never ever had an A team in their organization. Hopefully , this 2023 group will move up to the A bracket. The more the merrier & it would be good for L I LAX.

Stop it . TB needs to enter some A tourneys and play the A teams
from MD. Philly , Boston etc and stop entering B/C tourneys and playing teams nobody ever heard of.
I thought SYAG was only 2023 team??

The question is how many 22's played for the Crabs? Last years team would have lost to JS's team by 5-10 goals. Rumor is a few Madlax kids joined and a few 22's stayed back or are planning to so they are going to play with the team now.

The obsession with these teams and who is top 5 is ridiculous. It is 6th grade lax . You talk like you play. Does it puff you up that much to be able to say your KID won a t-shirt at a tournament???

Sounds like excuses to me. FYI it was hot for everyone. If you can't take the heat, get out of the fire.

You are lucky you even made the playoffs. If you hadn't finished in 4th place you wouldn't have had to play a " double header ". Everyone played in the same weather conditions. Just stop your crying & whining & move on.

You all need to get over it. None of you won or lost anything. You don't play!!! No wonder kids are [lacrosse]holes on the field, look at how you all behave. Winning a 6th grade tournament isnt getting little Johnny in to college. Let the kids play and enjoy the game no matter what tea m they are on! You are bashing children and coaches. If any of you could do a better job coaching go right ahead. Get over yourselves. In 5 years nobody will care who the best team was in 6th grade!
Any reason why tourney Machine doesn't post the playoff results for any division ? Could it be because 91 didn't win ?
Exactly

That's the crazy part with some of the things that occur how do we allow it as parents. 14 year olds playing 2023 is top of the list. "Yes son you lost they cheated but it's ok . Feel like every year something like this happens at Lax Fest

How many times do you have to be told the truth - the kid is 12 yrs. old & turning 13 this summer. Save your complaints & whining when & if you ever play a top team from MD. or Boston which truly do have 14 year olds.
It's not technically breaking rules unless he wasn't in 6th grade this past year. Besides competing against this boy with my OLDER boy we all know he is much older and what people are saying is accurate it was evident watching this weekend. He was a man against boys and being that his parents aren't very big do the math. Express parents had No problem telling the truth on the sideline
TB would never survive a tournament in Maryland or Boston. If they played the Crabs they would crash BOTC. I guess they are surprised what happens in the A brackets. Get use to it or go back to the B brackets because no one cares enough to cheat in those brackets.
It's not just Laxfest it's travel lacrosse

"using a 14 year old boy vs. our team" . So that one boy played the entire team??? Wow. He must be really good.

So when you play your full roster you don't win. Doesn't sound like your talent runs deep which means any injuries on your first lines the team will collapse.

True Blue is a legit A team that can play with anyone.
The kids not 14 your all nuts express had many other talented kids. The entire team is good, face off kids were amazing and another big righty attack was awesome too so it's not one kid winning games for them. There just a really good team get over it true blue. Enter tourneys we're express,91, laxachuset, crabs, igloo are in and let's see how you make out.

This is funny. First True Blue is one of the worst B teams. Then True Blue could never win in a game in an A bracket. Then True Blue could never beat 91 warriors or come close to beating express... They keep proving you all so wrong it's very comical. Teams are catching up and you guys do not know what to do with yourself. Accept reality and get over it. Your not the best because of your team name. Very shortly they'll be consistently beating you all.

Then start playing the Bandits, Igloo, Express. LAX Black, the Crabs etc & stop going into B/C tourneys. You are so dillusional it's pathetic.Enough of TB you are irrelavent.
Your right one kid doesn't make the team but when u have to double or triple a kid whose the size of Lebron James it leaves guys wide open for easy goals.

Think that's the point with a great team that is starting to gel why bring an over sized and aged boy into this. Opens the team up for this. Not one parent on our team is happy about it it's wrong
Who cares?? She's nothing special and certainly not the reason they lost. Why are you so obsessed?

This is why lax should do what USA hockey does. For lax, it could work like this: At the beginning of each season (lax can do a separate fall and spring/summer season if they wish), every team is required to submit their official roster to USA lacrosse with the USA lacrosse number for each kid. Each kid's USA lacrosse number is backed by his birth certificate, which is submitted when the kid first starts playing. Each team has a manager (not a coach) who for each game at each tournament will submit 4 stickers to the score keeper (or for lax, maybe the head ref) with the roster on it. The stickers are affixed to each of 4 sheets on an official USA lacrosse score sheet (carbon copies). For lax, after the game the ref can put in the score and if anyone was ejected, note that next to their name. Each teams manager gets a copy. One copy goes to the tournament organizers (or league if its a league) and one copy to USA hockey. Each club has a permanent record of every kid who has ever stepped on the field against them, and knows that the kid is age eligible. USA lacrosse will likewise have the same database for every game played. Really limits the ability to pull shenanigans that seem to often plague lacrosse.

In addition, all boys should have photo USAL IDs - otherwise, there is no way to validate that the boys on the field are those on the roster. In a perfect world, you would have all of the IDs AND boys checked against the roster for all games (like how it's done in youth football; soccer also requires pics of players on team), but barring that, the option of a coach to challenge an opposing player would be available and resolved easily in those rare cases where it's needed.
Agreed not sure what the hold up is Especially with new recruiting regulations
I think everyone should agree to that. It would certainly stop the nonsense about holdbacks and just lying about ages.
Sigh ... age restrictions and monitoring will never happen so long as the powers that be (club lax organizations) benefit (through $, wins and recruited players) from using holdbacks. These guys run the tourneys, have the best teams, fill the showcases, get the recruiting media coverage, coach other teams on other levels,etc. They don't want a level playing field. The NLF is a direct reflection of all that. The day the kids on those teams ever have to disclose their birthdates and play against kids their own age is not happening soon.

I reluctantly agree with that. We all call for changing the "wild west" Team LI tried for years to change it and couldn't. The Director there was the PAL director and tried at PAL to go age based and the board voted down there as well (that was three years back). Yet, IMHO they all go to WSYL because it's a chance to enhance their brand on TV.
You are right. Never gonna happen. Money runs this sport. Always has. Always will. And the NCAA has no control over it. Enjoy. It will only get worse.

I made this exact point on another age board - it will happen eventually, bit the question is whether it will be reactively based upon an injury and insurance companies insist upon age-based play in order to obtain coverage at reasonable rates versus a proactive change before such an injury occurs. I also am surprised insurance carriers aren't pushing that now considering the inherent risk the current system presents - they could seriously milk the current system with ridiculously high rates versus offering much lower rates for the alternative age-based approach. Obviously, competition will determine where that goes, but that means that it will likely take a severe injury, and more likely, a wrongful death suit, to bring about this from the carrier POV.
Nice to see some intelligent discussion and replies on this subject on this thread for a change, instead of the usual ridiculous rants and raves of over involved parents!

Agreed - while the unbalanced or unfair play below the HS level is always a concern, safety should be the primary reason for concern with the current grade-based system of play. That said, more mature sports, like baseball, hockey and soccer are the model - I am sure that back when they were not age-based, the same arguments were likely also made: playing against bigger/better athletes improves your child's play, deal with it, it isn't going away, etc, etc. Yet, all of those sports made the move, and I believe it will happen in lax as well - the only question is when and why it happens.
Hockey has always been age based - at least in Canada.
What the directors and $ people don't realize is that age based will lead to more $, not less. By leveling the playing field and making the competition more transparent, they will bring in more families. All businesses want and need growth. There is no room for growth from the elite player. ALL elite players are already playing. All they can do now is poach each other's players, which doesn't grow the industry. Growth can come from the more average players and/or the good athletes that focus on other sports. There are still a ton of kids who play and love lacrosse who don't play for travel clubs but can and should. For most of the country the town lax season is very short - no more than 8-10 weeks. If the club scene did two things (1. make it age based and enforce it; 2. make a better effort to stratify teams into AAA, AA, A and B), they would see significant growth from mid and lower level players. Many of these lower levels can be summer only - with the AAA and the AA teams more year round.
Even without holdbacks its still not working, because different states use different school calendar years making their kids older (or younger) on the average. NY is on the young size, and it is obvious when you play MA and PA teams. Holdbacks just makes it worse. When the same families see their kids play MA and PA teams in hockey, the kids are the same size and look the same age. Because the birth year system forces this. Playing teams from all over is a pleasure in hockey - not so much in lacrosse. Yes, the best of the best from LI and Westchester can often play well against holdbacks. But no one else can. Its a huge turnoff for many families, and helps to limit the clubs to only elite players. In hockey and other sports, families have no problem with their kid being on a B team. They know that the other teams will be the same age and skill. In lacrosse, no one has this confidence.
Even in the town team set up, EVERYONE who has expressed an opinion on the subject thinks the grade system is stupid. I never heard someone say its a good idea. When parents are deciding where to spend their time and money (for both town and club), the grade system is a negative for lacrosse.

Its a huge turnoff for many families, and helps to limit the clubs to only elite players. In hockey and other sports, families have no problem with their kid being on a B team. They know that the other teams will be the same age and skill. In lacrosse, no one has this confidence.
Even in the town team set up, EVERYONE who has expressed an opinion on the subject thinks the grade system is stupid. I never heard someone say its a good idea. When parents are deciding where to spend their time and money (for both town and club), the grade system is a negative for lacrosse.
Let me guess you heard from someone who heard from someone who heard a mad express dad who complained because his sons playing time was affected that he is 14 or 15 or 21!
Every tram has a kid or 2 who is more mature looking. We had PAL games where our attack came up to defenders chest.
He is a 2023 playing up on 2022 team.

Agreed - while the unbalanced or unfair play below the HS level is always a concern, safety should be the primary reason for concern with the current grade-based system of play. That said, more mature sports, like baseball, hockey and soccer are the model - I am sure that back when they were not age-based, the same arguments were likely also made: playing against bigger/better athletes improves your child's play, deal with it, it isn't going away, etc, etc. Yet, all of those sports made the move, and I believe it will happen in lax as well - the only question is when and why it happens.
Exactly...And hopefully not at some childs expense.

Even without holdbacks its still not working, because different states use different school calendar years making their kids older (or younger) on the average.

Yup - there is more money to be made if you set the sport up to grow!

While I don't believe you at all, let's say that IS the case and he is a true 2023 playing up, then he should play on 2022 and not conveniently with 2023 when then need a big kid at a tourney. It just sets a bad example for your club. And I am not being bitter because my son's team played you guys this past weekend but you do have enough talent and some good kids, without cherry picking a kid for a tourney.

Your an idiot he maybe in 2023 but he is at least one year older then my son. I did hear it from a Dad on Express and his kid is a defender so it doesn't effect him in anyway. It was nice to see the kid in two Championship photos parents must be proud he got two t-shirts.

Yes, he's a 2023; however, he's a holdback and would be one of the older 2022's. Furthermore, he's not on the 2023 Express roster because he's not part of the team. He's on the 2022 roster. Spin it any way you want, he's not on the team.

weird thing is many of these tournaments are covered by US lacrosse insurance yet US lacrosse rules are very different than the NO rules tournaments. That seems like an issue right there! Forget about this past weekend on LI the tournaments with out of state teams are even more revealing

So when you play your full roster you don't win. Doesn't sound like your talent runs deep which means any injuries on your first lines the team will collapse.
TB has improved and will continue to! Everyone has a lot to say then when the results start to show there are other factors that come in. Attacking our coach etc

Appreciate your concern for the Bandits but you really should worry about your own kids team. Maybe there is opening in the tournament for your kids team - give them a call.

So we can run over 5/6 township teams? I'd be pissed if I had to give up a weekend and spend money on a hotel for that. But whatever floats your bandit boat. Name one team at that tournament that will even pose a remote challenge?

There are far more people against the current system than for it. Even a modified age restriction but anything eliminating over age players
It's actually an interesting conversation because we were saying this past weekend why are we playing TB , 91 warriors, empire, kings etc. all B teams instead of the HHH tournament that the top teams were at and in defense of the clubs the schedules are made in the winter time months ahead so no one knows til Sometimes it's too late

If those are B teams then you must be a B team. Pretty sure you went to brave heart with TB

My point was not confrontational. It was more that clubs sign up for tournaments and they put themselves in A or B and they have no control over who else signs up

WOW - you really need to get a life . Maybe you could break down all of the other tournaments being played this weekend & the rest of the summer.
So tourney machine has an app, where you can search a tournament (takes less than a minute) and then about a minute to type the 8 teams playing in response to a point that the bandits were playing in the A division. Maybe your life shouldn't be spent at a hotel in NJ watching little Johnny playing against inferior lacrosse teams. I have looked at alot of the other tournaments that the AA teams are playing, there is at least some form of competition at those....

Gotta re-group after a few loses
There are playing in the A division of that tournament.
Just because it is the A division, doesn't make it an A tournament, you tell me if this is competitive, from tourney machine:
Pool 1
Team 11 - Never heard of them
Laker Future 5/6 - Never heard of them, but a 5/6 team
Mad Dog 2023 - B level Jersey team
Team 91 Bandits
Pool 2
Phoenix Lacrosse - NJ team
Summit Future 5/6 - NJ Township team
2Way 2023 - May have heard of them, not sure if any good
Thunder Elite 2023 - B Level Jersey team
What about the teams in the other 2023 bracket, any info on any of them, thanks.

Team 11 is Joey Sankey's team that he started last year. Bandits might average 30 goals a game

So when you play your full roster you don't win. Doesn't sound like your talent runs deep which means any injuries on your first lines the team will collapse.
TB has improved and will continue to! Everyone has a lot to say then when the results start to show there are other factors that come in. Attacking our coach etc
Agreed!
Don't you think that all of the other teams will continue to improve?
Yes but not with the urgency as TB
Enough with the TB talk. Nobody cares except 20 or so Dads in Massapequa

If those are B teams then you must be a B team. Pretty sure you went to brave heart with TB
My point was not confrontational. It was more that clubs sign up for tournaments and they put themselves in A or B and they have no control over who else signs up
Absolutely agree. There are some tournaments you expect to see certain teams at and you don't but like you said these clubs put their schedules out way early and you just don't know who else is playing and who you are playing until the schedule comes out. Lax Fest has never been considered a B tournament and I don't think any of the above mentioned teams are B teams. Maybe not on the same playing field as bandits or igloo but all good A- B+ whatever you wanna call them teams.

Before all of the TB parents get hysterical. Let's take a look at what happened: in pool play you beat Pioneer Kings (never heard of them) and the Express B team. You lost to Empire (definitely not an A team) and got hammered by Express A 13-5. You were losing in the final 6-1. Do you think maybe Express A took you lightly considering the beating they put on you in pool play. Obviously that didn't play out as expected because you made a come back but let's not make this more than it is. You went 3-3 in the tourney and would lose 10 out of 10 games against Express and the 4 other A teams. Sorry, but you are still a B team...

Not sure if its just me - but I have a son on a very good LI travel team. B+/A- . I root for all LI teams to do well, every weekend. And if we lose to one of them, we root for them to win it all. Leave this idiotic lunacy of who is the best to the parents, and enjoy the kids rooting for those we live around.

The point is JS is making money off it with a kickback or some other "goodwill". Everything revolves around JS and what is good for him or his ego.

So a "B"team takes an "A" team into overtime or braveheart so if the B isn't an A then the A must be a B team. Just give credit and move on. You wanted to blow TB out and rub it in our face and you can't do now it's "your still a B".
Pretty sad that if we (TB) are a B team you needed a 14yearold to beat us as well as a new program in Empire

Agreed the hatred is actually tiresome. Everyone is worried about everyone else bashing anyone but themselves

Think it could happen but would take people banding together or God forbid a serious injury with an older boy injuring a younger boy safety issue
I made this exact point on another age board - it will happen eventually, bit the question is whether it will be reactively based upon an injury and insurance companies insist upon age-based play in order to obtain coverage at reasonable rates versus a proactive change before such an injury occurs. I also am surprised insurance carriers aren't pushing that now considering the inherent risk the current system presents - they could seriously milk the current system with ridiculously high rates versus offering much lower rates for the alternative age-based approach. Obviously, competition will determine where that goes, but that means that it will likely take a severe injury, and more likely, a wrongful death suit, to bring about this from the carrier POV.
Let's hope sense overcomes everything else
I think the directors could end all of this nonsense. Watching boys two heads larger than others physically beat kids is ridiculous. Are we waiting till a major injury occurs? It sure seems that way, everyone turns a blind eye to it all. Is it cheating NO but it is really stretching the rules in an embarrassing fashion. It was a hot topic on our sideline this week and many of our parents expressed our displeasure on many levels with the older boy who "may be " a 2023 or 2021 or 2022 playing with our express team

Are they any good? I assume by your comment of 30 goals on avg then probably not or at least not compared to the bandit.s.
Can't we all just get along?????
Does anyone work, or put all thier energy into thier kids travel lax . If this is your biggest problem your lives must be pretty damn good
Lax Clash schedule updated. Talk about rigged for the Express teams in the A division. Looks Express directors really want some T-shirts, No integrity for your own tournament. What a disgrace. .

Not at all hopeful
Team 11 is really bad. You can see their results at the NXT League, they do have super cool helmets though.
It used to be - the most hated teams were the ones that pumped their chest & bragged when they won a tournament , now the chest pumpers are the teams that almost won a tournament. Whether you win or lose try and show a little class, just shut up & let the game results speak for themselves . Stop making & teaching your kids how to make excuses.

Where's the schedule?
Now that you have bashed 91 & Express - here is a thought - maybe next year they should pass on the NLF tournament & play in the prestigious Andy Forsberg tournament & play in the four team pool against the likes of NJ Riot & NJ Riot North.

Let's see if I can explain this to you. Any club that runs a tournament ( 91 , Express , Outlaws etc. ) all take advantage in pool play. It's always set up for the top 3 or 4 teams to meet each other in the playoffs . Sometimes it doesn't out that way ex. LAX Fest.
Why would they play each other sooner? The top 3 teams have already played each other to competitive games this year & I'm sure they will see each other in the playoffs.It is done this way in every sport.

Are they afraid they wont win in pool play and not make the playoff bracket. Sounds to me they have no confidence in playing the best teams. After all Express lost to Lax Black during the NLF. So lets beat up on their yellow team. Please.
B and C team parents don't understand!!

LAX Black , Shore to Shore & Express have played each other several times over the past 2 years all winning some & losing some but always good competitive games & respect for each other without the stupidity that has been seen on this site this past week. Good luck to all the teams this weekend.

The only surprise will be how far S2S has fallen in a single season. They lost to the worst team at NLF and barely beat the second worst.

I guess some will use the lacrosse world to reach a goal and have no intention on giving back in any way. It is amazing that some programs join charity events and they should be applauded. Teach your kids the right thing and to give to lacrosse and not use it in a selfish way. True story -- a player at an Ivy league school came back to his home town and was offered to be paid to be a trainer for a week long town lacrosse clinic. He did work the clinic but refused to be paid saying that he wants to give back to the community and sport that did so much for him. Reading these post It appears parents are teaching kids to drain the lacrosse world to maximize selfish benefits. Teams you must keep joining charity events and teach your kids to give back. The parents who did play college lacrosse will understand this post that this was always a tight lacrosse community that gives back. We can only hope it continues.

The scary part is that he or she is so ignorant that it doesn't even enter their brain to consider who Andy Forsberg was or what that tournament or the JDRF event is about. They're concerned about the "prestige" their sons 6th grade team gets from from winning games "important" tournaments. What a sad existence.

The scary part is that he or she is so ignorant that it doesn't even enter their brain to consider who Andy Forsberg was or what that tournament or the JDRF event is about. They're concerned about the "prestige" their sons 6th grade team gets from from winning games "important" tournaments. What a sad existence.
Sad but true until a horrible situation hits close to home. Makes you wonder what some people are or are not teaching their children.
Empire 2023 playing up this weekend. Lol. 7th grade b tourney. Must need another T shirt after Express gave them a thumping.

I feel sorry for you that you have nothing better to do on a beautiful Saturday than to look up the schedule of a team on which your son obviously does not play.

That team can't catch a break on here. If they played in 2023 you would be talking about them beating up on B teams. So they probably saw the bracket and moved to 2022 for a bit of competition and you still have something to say. I can only assume you were once on the team and still have a chip on your shoulder. Either that or you really had nothing to do on this beautiful summer day than see where other teams are playing. Go have a catch with your son.
Ok Empire dad. We get it. Nobody cares
Obviously someone cares to waste thier time looking up thier schedule, pretty pathetic
What happened to Outlaws and Legacy at Lax Clash?
Legacy's BM making no improvements. Congrats AJ for delivering. We appreciate your coaching.
Outlaws should drop down to the B bracket where they belong. It looks like the team has gotten worse and worse every year we play them.

Pathetic and sad
ALL I am going to say is that lacrosse needs to go to age not year of graduation. Not complaining but the men that were playing on the 2023 laxblack team should feel good that they won the t-shirt and beat 11 and 12 year olds. Someone is going to get hurt!. The cross check that lifted the logo up by his neck was disgraceful........ Keep telling yourself that your son just finished 6th grade
the sixth graders that played the lax black held their own playing against the "men"

Express beat Laxachusettes?
Has anyone asked for your opinion? Worry about your own kid and keep your nasty, demeaning remarks about who should play where, or if any other team should drop down a division. Didn't beat Laxachusettes DID YOU!!!! BOO HOO. Bunch of self righteous [lacrosse]holes.
So Express loses to Laxachusetts and Igloo loses to 2 teams that it supposed to beat!!! The Times the are a changing! Sounds to me like these daddy coaches are picking kids with their heart and not there brain.

The team has gotten worse and worse every time "WE" play them? Another peckerhead living vicariously through his son.
Classic. Ex picked on in school, non athlete, still picking on kids. Grow up!

Did the 6th graders who could/should be in 7th grade also hold their own? I love how Express seems to conveniently omit from any conversation about age, holdbacks,grade, etc. that there are several kids on that team that could/should be graduating in 2022. I guess it's ok though since their size doesn't give them away. The hypocrisy is a joke.
Congrats to AJ for what? They lost again. AGAIN!! They have the talent to beat every team they play but they can't

LAX Black 12. Express 11. Great game by two good teams. No excuses.
Express came back to the pack and Igloo who has avoided any competition this year is done!

Daddy coaches kid is the worst one on the team in arctic north.
Outlaws beat Laxachusetts Yellow in a shortened game.
Lost to express north and Shore 2 Shore in games that were closer than the score.
Hung with express AJ 5-3 at half, wheels fell off in second half. Just lack the depth to compete for a full game, but they are doing a great job.
Beat up on Legacy in the last game, think they are starting to make strides with a mostly new team. If they are able to add a few pieces next season they will compete with all.
We are new to the team this year, and absolutely can not be happier with the coaching my son is receiving.

Doesn't anybody appreciate the great lacrosse these kids are playing? It seems like the only topics you read about on this site are complaints about : holdbacks, who is an A , B , or C team, rigged schedules, poor officiating, bad weather , no parking etc. How about some positive posting for these hard working kids who are busting their asses. All the complaining is getting nauseating.
Outlaws will always play A/ Winning in a B bracket does not get kids better
Went 2-3 But should have beat express North
Actually word is some very good players from express and others looking to come over to skull and bones
Great group of kids and parents, UNLIKE Last year

Every team has hold backs. Move on.

I agree 100%…Outlaws have made great improvement since the fall. Coach is awesome and the kids and parents think he's great. Kids are a great bunch of boys that ALL get along and don't leave anyone out of their little groups. The only way is up for these kids and they all get to play. Try picking on someone your own out of shape beer belly size!

Totally agree. If it weren't hold-backs I'm sure there would be a whole list of other excuses why some teams under perform. Accept the fact that it is grade based. The kids don't care , they just want to play lacrosse.
I'd like to see your son playing against kids the size of the crossbar

Exactly. Every team has them, including the ones that blame their losses on the fact that the team they lost to has hold backs.
It's June 2017, let's leave last year in the past where it belongs. Good luck rest of the way. Glad to hear boys are having fun and getting better.
Three Village lost in finals but that is one impressive town team.Play as a team and is well coached. Ball movement and hustle. Pretty impressive for 6 Th graders. No superstars but they don't need one.

My son's team played in NJ trilogy rider tournament this weekend. The kids had fun playing, played as a team and won, the weather was great, and the rest of us had a blast at the hotel last night at the pool. I have to thank coach for going out of his way to make sure everyone was in the same hotel for the tournament. Something my son's previous team that cost 3x as much to play for couldn't be concerned with. We are happy with the team, parents, and coaches.
Amen. I watched many amazing games between KIDS that played great. Enough with the bs and give all of these kids credit for playing hard and playing well!!!

Not an Express parent but have to say Laxachusetts is beyond holdbacks. Had to be 2-3x's hold back. Size difference stupid obvious. Most of those boys are 15 easily. Give credit to any team that can give them a game. They make Long Island holdbacks look small.

They lost to Lax Black by 1 goal in final minutes of game. That's impressive game!

Agree. Birth year would change the entire landscape of travel lacrosse. Which is why it will never happen. The cheater teams would all fall apart. Which means the top clubs will fall. Not going to happen!

So you're only opposed to your kid playing older kids if those kids are bigger than yours. If the kids are equal in size or smaller you have no issue with their age?
Lax Black is playing with the same team all year. AJ on the other hand grabs a 2022 attack player from Channys team. C'mon Express, play it straight. Stack the deck to make up for AJs poor coaching.
Bingo.....AJ
91 bandits 17-3 in the finals at trilogy, congrats to the kids but the club owners should do a better job of finding them competition
New topic....the Chosen One moved from Taz to 2023 PrimeTime. They will soon be the top team in the grade...follow the skipping Stone. Haha!
Sigh ... each time the topic of holdbacks comes up, one of the main arguments is that some older kid is going to seriously hurt a properly aged kid. And, by golly, then we'll be forced to change things. Please.
For injuries and insurance, etc. It is just wrong to pretend your kid or his teammate or your player should be competing against 11 years olds when he is 13 or 14 in a bracket intended for younger boys. Gaming a system by holding back a child to have an advantage keeps being justified (usually under the knucklehead argument "in high school you have to get used to playing older boys, so this is just helping you prep for that reality, you're welcome"). People gaming systems to gain an advantage over others who abide guidelines should be frowned upon. The players know a hulking holdback when they encounter one and it depresses them to lose to one.
As for the case of Laxblack who pushes a whole system of holdback players and uses 7th graders against 6th graders with the theory they intend to be held back between now and the year 2023, it's just next level wrong. Or, in lax speak, "elite" wrong.

Who cares, get a life! back to old topic- parents with no balls!!!! For every parent who has sat back quietly and allowed coaches to manipulate your kids team roster at your child's expense just so you can win a game or tournament, go apologize to your child for being a pathetic loser...and for anyone who actually gives a s**t about tracking the movement of the chosen one, also go apologize to your kid!!!
That's a loss
Now that you have bashed 91 & Express - here is a thought - maybe next year they should pass on the NLF tournament & play in the prestigious Andy Forsberg tournament & play in the four team pool against the likes of NJ Riot & NJ Riot North
Why not 90+1 just played in the Trilogy tournament, there was better competition in Forsberg. 90+1 and all you other so called Top 5 teams your pedestal is no so high anymore.
Why not 90+1 just played in the Trilogy tournament, there was better competition in Forsberg. 90+1 and all you other so called Top 5 teams your pedestal is no so high anymore.
Just for the record my sons team has not one holdback they are all 12 or 11 turning 12 this year which is the proper age for 2023, so its not every team out there. More then likely the person making that remark is either 90+1 or Express because they think they are the only ones out there. You guys keep telling yourselves holdbacks are ok and keep winning those t-shirts there great stories to tell your buddies at work.
Awesome lacrosse - Laxachusetts Black, PrimeTime and Express had some terrific games and battled their butts off - the boys should be proud of themselves!

Laxachusetts has Always done this. This system is beyond broke watching yesterday makes it very clear

Not the club. It's all JS. There is something about this tournament that keeps him bringing his teams there. He tells everyone it's a good tournament. Has to be a reason.

You're incorrect. Your team definitely has hold backs.

Thanks for correcting me your right we do (Moron).

Usually, JS has them play in the 2022 bracket in that tournament (with the May 2003 birthday kid who usually plays up . . .) and you guys p*ss and moan when they win that they shouldn't use junior and they should play on grade - now they play in the 2023 bracket and blow out everyone and you're not happy. You should be happy they weren't at Lax Clash so you had a shot to win.

How about this - why not have LAX Tourneys based on height & weight ? Instead of A & B brackets you could have Big Guy & Little Guy brackets since hold backs is not the real issue but size seems to be the real concern. Don't forget there are also some big age appropriate kids .

Igloo lost to two very good teams. Both teams where in the championship game. My sons team was one of them. Igloo had size and skill. We were just better than them on Saturday. Maybe the problem is in your approach. "supposed to beat" mentalities can be a killer when you go up against teams that are legitimate and can beat you. No doubt LI is king of the hill, but you are right. The times are caning and not just for Igloo.

Not interested. Of course some kids are bigger and some are smaller . How bout this.... AGE based tournaments! Nobody is afraid of competition and a few big bodies, you are trying to pretend it's a different problem. Unless your child is playing down you should have no problem with age, not size, brackets.
Let's be honest here...all this is about express bringing in the 2022 attack to play with AJ's team. He is probably the best attack on 2022. He is being held back and repeating 7th grade again (shame on the parents, absolute joke, but if you've ever seen them you would understand...) Now the other parents have every right to be pissed. But same something to the coach or to channy himself. Grow a set. And to top it all off the kid is one of the older players on 2022. This is what lacrosse has come to.
That kid on Express will be 14 before about 8 kids on my sons team turns 12

i will admit this, philly has the stall ball approach down on both the O and the D. Very good sign for the LI teams as they value low scoring wins over development

Excuses. My son plays for Brotherly Love. If we have mastered "stall ball" and you can't figure out a way to beat it, I'm not sure what to say. We beat Igloo by more than a couple. Say what you want to say, we've competed with some of your best drawing from a much smaller pool of talent, especially given the growth of clubs in the area. I'm ok with you dismissing us. I'm ok with you making excuses. You have to justify your investment somehow. Who am I to judge your formula for success. If we invested half as much time and money as you do in the sport I can only imagine what our kids could do. Perhaps they would all get free rides to d1 like all your kids?

Igloo lost to two very good teams. Both teams where in the championship game. My sons team was one of them. Igloo had size and skill. We were just better than them on Saturday. Maybe the problem is in your approach. "supposed to beat" mentalities can be a killer when you go up against teams that are legitimate and can beat you. No doubt LI is king of the hill, but you are right. The times are caning and not just for Igloo.

They weren't stalling when they controlled all those faceoffs or outhustled for the ground balls. Those would be great skills to develop in your kids. Did you forget that it's a game of possession? They shouldnt have been tired. They had 22 to our 17 kids. I'm sorry, but there is no way for you to come out looking good here. And, funny, I don't ever remember a team losing for a development opportunity. Is that another excuse for your loss?

We are told by coaches that this player will not be at tourney but then we show up to play and there he is. What can we do??? My son does not care about a t-shirt, he will be 12 and just wants to play and YES I pay (shame on me) a lot of money for him to get that opportunity and experience.
That's why the World Series of Youth Lacrosse is so great. It's based on real age standards set by US Lacrosse. Express will never win it because 1/4 of their best players can't play! Crabs have the same problem! Laxachusetts etc! We will find out who the true best team in 2023 is next year when there is actually a level playing field. When kids actually have to submit a birth certificate to play. We will also see all the fraudsters who claim to be great teams but have to cheat! Should be fun for the 9teams with INTEGRITY!
That 2-1 game must have been a thriller

Don't know which game you're referencing, but I'm sure that it was a thriller for the parents watching their children play and for the children who were playing.

How about you and other like minded parents make it known to the back stabbing coach you're willing to walk after the season if this is how business is going to be conducted. That's time from your kid seeing the field and it's stating he has no confidence in his team winning on their own efforts. Unfortunately he won't care because there's probably 10 kids waiting to take your kids spot. And that's when you walk, a life lesson your kid will someday appreciate.

They know its wrong if they are telling us he will not be there. Him showing up is pie in the face.

I agree. Find another team where you are all happy. Of course your son wants to play, and he should. Look around.

Apparently you're new to this. There won't be a single existing team at the WSYL. Every club will put in a team made up of the best kids who fit in to the age constraints. That's why all of this talk is futile. It's not about the best team, but best club at this point.

Not the club. It's all JS. There is something about this tournament that keeps him bringing his teams there. He tells everyone it's a good tournament. Has to be a reason.
Usually, JS has them play in the 2022 bracket in that tournament (with the May 2003 birthday kid who usually plays up . . .) and you guys p*ss and moan when they win that they shouldn't use junior and they should play on grade - now they play in the 2023 bracket and blow out everyone and you're not happy. You should be happy they weren't at Lax Clash so you had a shot to win.
I saw the championship game at Trilogy B division it was between 2 Long Island teams, both of those teams were better than any team 90 + 1 faced all weekend.

What do you know about the teams that beat Igloo. Has your son's team ever played those two teams or ever played Igloo ? Probably not just another anonymous windbag blowing hot air & stirring the pot.

I understand your frustration. How could a team, or two, from PA possibly beat Igloo? By being better teams? As crazy as that might sound, excuses aside, sometimes teams simply get beaten by better ones. Brotherly Love had Igloos number from the momment they stepped on the field. They appeared stunned by BL's speed and aggressive play. Parents started losing it on the refs and were warned numerous times. One Igloo kid actually took a swing at one of ours. Good show Igloo.

I would love to see the month/year of birth for each player on brotherly love and compare it to that of Igloo. It would be illuminating. And before someone says this is crazy or weird, the Atlantic Youth Hockey League (the top youth league for kids from metro NY through Philly and parts south) publishes the names and month/year (not actual date) of each player on the leagues website. All backed by birth certificates at USA Hockey. Completely 100% transparent as to who your kid is playing against. Even without holdbacks, the PA kids are older because they start school later than kids in NY, on the average.
Whoever this is... your a freaking loser. You beat us GREAT!! What are you talking about now. Enjoy it while it lasts, post what you need to post here. Igloo had a bad day PERIOD.
Good win and congratulations on the championship win. Oh I forgot, you lost.

Why are we talking about BL? They didn't win the tourney, did they? No. Everyone has good days and everyone has bad days. Mesa had a very good day, obviously. Congrats to them. The last few times they came up to LI they got beat like they stole something. Last weekend, they did the beating. As far as I can tell, BL has to actually win something before they can start talking smack. Igloo only beat a town team by two goals a few weeks back. Maybe they're not as strong as the were. Who knows, they don't play much on LI. As of now, Mesa is the top dog in Philly. Let's see how Young Guns goes. I guess NXT will be a chance for BL to prove that they're still relevant.

To the post above and below, you've confirmed everything people outside of Long Island believe about you. Can never be gracious in defeat, will make every excuse in the book, will play the age card if all else fails.... I enjoyed my trip to LI today. Before I go and leave it up to you to chew one another up, I will acknowledge our loss. I've already congratulated Mesa. They are great competition, unlike Igloo sorry to say, and they beat us got the first time in 8 games after losing to us the day before in pool play. And, so happy for their victory over you too. Great weekend for Mesa. Bad day for Igloo? Your fellow LI teams think your done. Keep the snarky comments coming and maybe I'll stick around a little longer for fun. Seems I've pushed some buttons.

Let's not get too excited now. You sound so defensive. No need, I'm sure you are a great team that had a bad day. We did lose that championship and it's ok. Nobody lost sleep over it or made excuses. There are other tournaments. Although my son might be heading to the beach after this one. More to a kids life than just lacrosse.

That would be interesting. Your kids were bigger and outnumbered us 22 to 17. Actually, some of your kids were huge. I would love nothing more than to compare birth dates. You people are incredible! It's like a car wreck. I want to stop posting, but the things you say!

I can't believe this. What can I do? Just forfeit the game if all the parents are so upset. Instant results. Winning is all Express and YOU care about or this would have already happened. Swallow that Express Ego or shut up already. As I said I don't believe that anyone is forcing you to do anything.
Obviously you are new to this! It started out with a May 1st deadline but last year changed to Sept 1 birthday cut off. So maybe a great club team can squeeze a player or 2 from there other team but everyone knows when that happens. Adding a player to a team can screw up team chemistry. It's the closest you will get to a level playing field. We will find out next July 4 who the best really is.

Look for each team to add 4-5 players, minimum.
Brotherly Love must have taken a serious step back if they got beat by Mesa. Mesa is a good, but an only slightly above average team. We know Igloo has dropped down a notch this year already. Good for Mesa, the new kings of Philly.

Yes. Much smaller pool of talent. The good thing about LI is that there are a dozen+ solid teams with top caliber players. You have 2 and any kid that can throw and catch plays for them. Given the fact the the Philly region is as large as it is (with Philly, Montgomery, Chester & Bucks Counties) you should have a ton more options. BL parents continue to be the example of poor sportsmanship for the region. All this talk and you lost the tourney. Good job trying to deflect your loss.
Why doesn't Igloo play in LI tournaments I haven't seen them anywhere.

My first post, #226540, "Igloo lost to two very good teams. Both teams where in the championship game. My sons team was one of them. Igloo had size and skill. We were just better than them on Saturday. Maybe the problem is in your approach. "supposed to beat" mentalities can be a killer when you go up against teams that are legitimate and can beat you. No doubt LI is king of the hill, but you are right. The times are caning and not just for Igloo." Take umbrage with the statement if you must, but I was responding to someone who was disparaging Igloo. This conversation was dragged into the gutter by folks like yourself. I merely responded to your posts. Check some of them out following my original. I've said numerous times that Mesa is great competition, but we beat them one day before and at least half a dozen times before that. Those are just the facts. People on here call them mediocre and then call them the new "king of the hill" in Philly. Perfect underhanded compliment. You are the ones bashing them and our region, so take a look in the mirror. I think you've seen the last of the likes of me on here, so have at it.

They are a good team that lost to two good teams. That's what makes the games fun! And now with Bandits diminishing dominance, and other teams increasing in talent, it's looks to be a great season! Mesa, S2S, Express, Igloo, BL, Warriors, Bandits, Primetime, FCA, Hawks, Bethesda, Lax Black, Looneys (and those cheating Crabs) are all great teams and anyone of them can win on any given day.

Exactly. Any of those teams can win on any given day. Stop with the rankings and blah blah. Enjoy the last few weeks.

Mesa, S2S, Express, Igloo, BL, Warriors, Bandits, Primetime, FCA, Hawks, Bethesda, Lax Black, Looneys (and those cheating Crabs) are all great teams and anyone of them can win on any given day.
You get Crabs from cheating, right?
You're including Laxblack? (Obvious 15 yr olds) and Express (holdbacks and 2022 kid)? I hope with your cheating Crabs.
Igloo 2023 Loud mouth bald coach complete moron
4-5 kids? If the older team has 22 players how many of them do you think were born after Sept 1st? And of those how many are your top players? Statistically 1 or 2 players and age appropriate. Now a few teams will be able to enter there 2024 teams!!!
True Blue announced there tryouts today. If they get a Fogo and a righty attack they will be a tough team to beat.

Not the club. It's all JS. There is something about this tournament that keeps him bringing his teams there. He tells everyone it's a good tournament. Has to be a reason.
Usually, JS has them play in the 2022 bracket in that tournament (with the May 2003 birthday kid who usually plays up . . .) and you guys p*ss and moan when they win that they shouldn't use junior and they should play on grade - now they play in the 2023 bracket and blow out everyone and you're not happy. You should be happy they weren't at Lax Clash so you had a shot to win.
You proved my point. JS knows its a weak tournament but Bandits still go. Why do you think that is?

We played them and while it wasn't close, it was good for our kids to see what "very good" lacrosse looks like. The crispness of the passes, the throwing and moving to space. How quickly they get the ball out of their stick. It's never fun to not have a competitive game on either side, but I was glad they were there as these tournaments should be about playing good competition, not winning trophies and T-[lacrosse]. Playing at that speed can only make us better down the road.

The cross check that lifted the logo up by his neck was disgraceful........ Keep telling yourself that your son just finished 6th grade
Did the 6th graders who could/should be in 7th grade also hold their own? I love how Express seems to conveniently omit from any conversation about age, holdbacks,grade, etc. that there are several kids on that team that could/should be graduating in 2022. I guess it's ok though since their size doesn't give them away. The hypocrisy is a joke.
Every team has hold backs. Move on.
Exactly. Every team has them, including the ones that blame their losses on the fact that the team they lost to has hold backs.
Not an Express parent but have to say Laxachusetts is beyond holdbacks. Had to be 2-3x's hold back. Size difference stupid obvious. Most of those boys are 15 easily. Give credit to any team that can give them a game. They make Long Island holdbacks look small.
The biggest/best kid on Laxachusetts is born in 2004, not sure when in 2004 but we have played him in hockey...

I believe holdbacks are a major project in this youth lacrosse...ill say it again, we have no issues like holdbacks in hockey

Seems like more and more parents are in favor of birth certificates and photo ids.
Sorry Joe Cat cut your son and your still sore over it! The guy is a winning college lacrosse coach who just had his whole 2017 True Blue team recruited and most to top colleges. Seems like the only idiot is you and your sour grapes! Good luck with your daddy coach!

Shut your mouth! How dare you mess up a good thing for the rest of us. Let his ego continue to cost them games. Step 1 in fixing a problem is identifying the problem. Why are you helping them out?

Joe Cat didn't cut anybody who speaks the ugly truth about him. Sorry JC lover a$$ kisser, but True Blue is and always will be singing the blues as long as he's the head coach of almost every team. Last time I looked Adelphi didn't win the D2 crown. I'll stick with better coaches and coaches specifically assigned to each one of my sons teams.
sounds like a dissapointed BF parent..hang in there..will get better someday..lol....funny how JC gets bashed by Moms like you but players turn out just fine under him..if your happy where you thats great..keep the hatred with your C program and enjoy the murky waters.

Whether you're a JC fan or not, your comment about Adelphi not winning the D2 crown did nothing for your argument - Adelphi lost in the D2 semifinals.
Didn't 2023 Haugen lose to Laxblack this past weekend at Lax Clash? If so why is there a picture on the Express website proclaiming them to be 2013 Champs? Tee shirts and all? Pathetic

Semi's in D2. Laughable.
That was not last week photo clown. But thanks for checking. Why are you on their site looking st photos anyway??
Bring your son to tryouts. I'm sure he'll do great!

Two different tournaments. Lax Fest Lax Clash

JC also has the 2024 team.
Cat grabbed this 2023 team and has made them into something special. It is great to see TB competing and beating these "A" teams. By next year they will have passed them all by. The best part is watching you all squeal. A college coach is a much better investment then your daddy coaches.

We are talking about 2023 right? Pretty positive he does not have a kid on the team. Bring your son down if you want to see him get cut. Tryout dates just came out.

I'm sorry - what's your point of contention? JC and the TB teams he coaches or the other TB teams that he doesn't coach??

Why are we still discussing a team that didn't win anything? They literally had one good day. This is like that garbage SYAG team again! Bragging because you got close is the dumbest thing ever! Win something, then maybe someone will tryout for your crappy team.

Another elitist lax snob - if you don't play for one of the top programs, you should go off and crawl on the ground in the filth of your lax peasantry! Asshat!
Won the Andy Forsberg tournament, undefeated in JDRF, and lost in a braveheart to Express A in the Championship game! Not too shabby. We will see what happens in the NXT Cup next week.
All done without a great Fogo! Any Fogo's interested playing for a team on the way up and a college non daddy coach come on down to the tryouts! We'd love to have you

JDRF and Forsberg are both excellent causes, but terribly weak tournaments. Hanging your hat on a loss is a pitiful thing.
Does anyone know where Recon and Icon practice? Any info on the coaches would be helpful as well.

Could you be any more of a [lacrosse]? Really. I don't have a horse in this race but that is quite an accomplishment in my eyes. In the 3 years my son has been playing club ball, they have played TB every year. The team does get tougher each year and my son's team lost to them this season. Have to give credit where credit is due.

Recon practices eastern Nassau west Suffolk. Good coaches. Down to earth parents. Team gets better/draws more kids each year. Roster could be. Don't know much about icon, but not as competitive as recon.

Yeah they won the b div but heard from a disgruntled express parent the team brought in some of their "a" players for the championship game
No Championship in JDRF. Charity tournament
Again the only people on this sight that think there opinion counts are 90+1, Express and Igloo parents. If you play anywhere else you have no Lax knowledge and your opinion doesn't mean anything its really pathetic. You parents care only about a name not what your kid is gaining, what a shame. You rather have your kid play on one of those teams because of there name whether they get playing time or not (shallow). Listen there your kids so do what you like, I know my son plays with his friends and gets great coaching and he has a blast. Its for my son you moronic parents its not for you and your ego. But I guess at the water cooler at work u can say my son plays on 90+1 etc. Good luck to you all the rest of the tourney season< i hope one day that you all realize thats its for the kids not the parents.

I'be got to admit that I get more street cred at the water cooler with my 9t1 gear on. Both the men and the women think more of me then they used to. It's pretty cool.

Its got to sting a lil huh..hence the anger..you and your players blabbin that you would crush them..didnt happen..yes they didnt win but played you to OT..a decent showing for a so called B team..so go back to channy and find another kid to help out next time..because you know thats coming..soon there will be poison in the pool over there and the plastic cups wont help..
BOTC at one time was an excellent source of lacrosse information.Lately it has become nothing more than a forum where angry,miserable,jealous people go to air their personal attacks on individuals & organizations ( most of which are lies & exaggerations ).Let's try & keep it civil & informative.

Very impressed with the Recon team, only in their second year they are much improved from last year and getting better with every tournament they play. This team is a couple of players away from taking it to the next level.

I'll keep this simple because I know you are a simple man.you seem to have forgotten that you lost the first game 13-5. You then lost to Empire , finished in pool play with a 2&2 record finishing in 4th place and completed the tourney with an overall record of 3&3. I'd call that a little shabby not exactly embarrassing but nothing to brag about..

Sarcasm.... in a heavy dose. Those teams love to tell you how great they are on a regular basis. They go out and have one good game and then scream to the heavens how amazing their program is. Use your noggin, guy.

Probably because the kids/parents on #3 are happy with the program thus no complaints. No trash talk needed kids are enjoying themselves.

Recon practices eastern Nassau west Suffolk. Good coaches. Down to earth parents. Team gets better/draws more kids each year. Roster could be. Don't know much about icon, but not as competitive as recon.
Icon is from garden city

Very impressed with the Recon team, only in their second year they are much improved from last year and getting better with every tournament they play. This team is a couple of players away from taking it to the next level.
Only in their second year . . .???
2023 Marine is in its second year.

What list?
Who is the best B team in 2023? I'm looking to bring my son down from an A team so he can have more playing time. Thank you
Probably Empire, SYAG, Ducks, Recon and icon.
No. Best B teams are Warriors. Express B. And Outlaws.

Maybe wrong A team. Ask around every team seems overloaded or weak( which is what you need ) when it comes to positions. Maybe the question should be which A or B team is weak at your sons postion.

These tournaments are becoming a joke. Does anyone play on grade? Is anyone honest? How sad, but true. Need to get rules regarding grade base (although I think they lie about that too) changed to birth date with proof. Someone is going to get hurt.

It seems that any teams off of LI are fully accepting of play substantially older kids. Maryland, Mass, Illinois, Florida, etc... it's a shame.
True: Cheaters
Crabs: Cheaters
Lax Black: Cheaters
Hawks: Cheaters
Even Express now will stoop to their level sometimes and bring in the 2022 kid.
What's the benefit? A T-shirt? Is that what it's about? I mean, will kids get better playing against bigger, better kids? Maybe. But it's still ruining the games.
icon is awful
True IL definitely is as bad as Crabs...
Intresting thing is that even with all the Hold Backs, teams still get beat. What's the point...lol
If they can't play at their proper age, maybe they should be playing Rec ball...not against kids 1-2 years younger 😳

True Illinois had 3 players with 2022 on their helmets and one said FCA on it! Not even trying to hide it...
Fwiw that Express 2022 kid is in 6th grade and is still 12 - Express was missing 2 attack who were away that weekend - those kids are back and he did not play 2023 this weekend.

He didn't play 2023 this weekend bc he was with his actual 2022 team, the one he DOES play for. Channy hasn't figured out a way to have him at 2 places at once yet.

What's your point? He's still a 12 year old 6th grader.
You mean he's going into 7th grade again. Stop the BS. And he's not 12. He's one of the older kids on his 2022 express team. Lacrosse is a small community. The kids on his own team are all talking about it. Just saying....
This summer will be the biggest change in teams for this grade. express and 90+1 days are long gone and the kids are tired of trying to get on the two teams, or are tired of being on them. I think the so called B teams of the larger clubs will have a big influx for 7th grade. Parity is getting better.
Parents are also realizing that their kid on one of the two A teams who isn't getting game time will want to get more game time elsewhere.

Everyone needs to stop whining about age. Those teams are not going to stop bringing down older kids. If you want to be the best overcome it and win, bottom line.

Really why say [lacrosse] like this. One is playing in Denver this weekend. Not for Express so know one would notice? He is 14 but because of his birthday qualifies for U13. He plays (age) against my oldest and (grade)against my youngest. Keep giving your money to Express,because the follow the rules Think before you post

The NY teams are coming within a goal of beating the "True 2022" and Laxachusetts Mankids -- keep the shirt... we know where our talent level stands. And when your boys wear their Championship shirts to high school in the fall we hope they hold their heads high and think of the 12 year old boys from NY who are a goal away from beating them!!!
I'm not sure I understand the response "He is 14 but because of his birthday qualifies for U13. Has this site gotten so stupid that we can't calculate age or are people so angry they will write anything they feel like hoping no one catches onto their hatered of anyone who is excelling at the sport. The U13 age cutoff is 9/1/04 - I think that means he is no more than 13 years of age currently?

I hear you. Total joke over at Express. They can keep the $110 tryout fee for any suckers. leg-a-c, outlaws, empire green are all better options.

Don't kid yourself - 91 & Express will be at the top again next year - it will be the same old same old. Nothing is going to change but I guess you can dream - been hearing this same story for years.

if the kid in question is playing in Denver then he should be a rising 8th grader. All the birthdates are listed on the WSYL website for every player as with their hometown and height and weight. Every Express player has a 2003 or a 2004 birth date none of them have 12/04 birthdate. So this being NY all kids born before 12/04 should be entering 8th grade unless the parents held him back.

U13 for spring/summer 2017 means under 13 as of 8/31/16. If they turned 14 on 9/1/16 or later they would be eligible for u13

If they keep it consistent with this year I believe it would be eligible if born after 9/1/04.

Haha, most expensive B team in the US. It's just a $3k+ mortgage to help fund the better team. Look at other half the cost clubs with the same, and more, tournaments.
good luck with igloo and their wonderful tuiton
Igloo is by far one of the best organizations out there. A and B teams are very competitive.

Not sure about that. They got worked over pretty well two weeks ago, last week had the easiest schedule of the tourney and then got beat down by the Hawks in the final 9-3 (pretty sure the Warriors tied the hawks earlier or lost in OT or braveheart), and they have a history of cheating as recently as last year. They are a good team. Not great. I've never seen their B team or even heard of them at a tourney, so I can't speak to that. And they're very expensive.
Good A team, but where have they been? Have not seen at most of the top tournaments?

Are you looking for a team with best tournament record or team with best coaching and team dynamics?? Unless your kid is a top player youre still going to have same issue with playing time on one of the "best" B teams. I suggest looking at programs that are more concerned with developing and teaching your kid the game rather than winning tournament bragging rights.

Recon, Icon, Outlaws
You should be looking for a team with the focus on development no matter A/B. The price of the club should coincide with how much training and tournaments they offer not what playing level they are. If your looking to play in the WSYL you should also ask how many and which boys on the team will be age eligible.
I have been seeing Recon mentioned a lot lately, can anyone give me any info (where is most of the team from, how are the coaches/parents, playing time, how competitive?) greatly appreciated.

Outlaws has excellent coaching on their B team.
I don't care what anyone says on this site regarding that kid on Express there is no way he is 12 he might be in 6th grade going into 7th which is absurd but he is not 12. More then likely he should be going into 8th but whatever. This will never change and your so called elite teams will continue to benefit from it. Its funny the elite teams are also the most expensive so parents keep lining the owners pocket and hope it won't be your son they screw out of a spot or playing time with a kid that shouldn't be playing with 12 year old boys. Good luck the rest of the season its almost over then on to Football.
Any good team has bad games/tournaments. They are very well trained and they development the kids. Keep in mind that they are kids. Igloo is a great organizationz
Your right Igloo is a good team but not a AA team!

Recon, Icon, Outlaws
Recon practices in the Bethpage area. A lot of Nassau/western Suffolk kids. Been around 7 years and is finally gaining some traction. The parents I have talked to at tournaments seem level headed and are happy with the organization. All the coaches have been part of the lax world for a long time.
Icon practices at Adelphi. Their coach is the head woman's coach there. He is probably on of the best defensive men to ever play the game. We played them at Lax fest and lost. They looked good that day and based on standings did well in the tourney. Haven't seen them at any tournaments since then. Parents we encountered seemed normal. Kids are from RVC/Oceanside/GC
Outlaws- Not sure where they practice but I think it is a Suffolk team. Some of the dads get a little nuts. I have seen them play a few times now. They seem to be a solid B team.
Jealous!!!!!
Aug 12 2004 SHOULD HAVE JUST FINISHED 7th grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should be entering 8th!!!!!
unless he was held back for academic reasons...learning disability..
Even then he should play 2022
its going to take someone to get seriously hurt for lacrosse to go age based.

It is fact he is 13 turning 14 in august. This will all surface soon enough Parents are deranged. Someone from our current express team informed many of us about this. Pretty sad people will stoop. Regardless hoping express sticks to its word and keeps this away from our current 2023 team

We are talking at 2023 in this thread. I don't have a 2024 kids so I have no clue about that team. I am basing on what I saw at Lax fest.

Your post is confusing with "won't smell". What does that mean? Also, what is pathetic?
Pretty sure that's a 7 th grader 8/12/2004. He is a huge kid that should stay in 2022 because he dominates. Are parents that screwed up that they want him to repeat 6th grade to dominate more? Oh the stupidity!!! The last kid to play like that was in 91 2 years ago and got committed to Ohio State in 8th grade. He got his exposure now don't do something dumb like hold him back and scare away college coaches!!!!

Not sure about that. They got worked over pretty well two weeks ago, last week had the easiest schedule of the tourney and then got beat down by the Hawks in the final 9-3 (pretty sure the Warriors tied the hawks earlier or lost in OT or braveheart), and they have a history of cheating as recently as last year. They are a good team. Not great. I've never seen their B team or even heard of them at a tourney, so I can't speak to that. And they're very expensive.
Ask the parents on the teams themselves or invest some
Tryout money and think of it as a clinic. Lots of good teams out there. This site is full of stupid stuff like comment above. Example : Assuming tourney machine scores are correct
Warriors almost beat Hawks on Saturday5-4. Then Sunday Warriors get beat 9-2 by the Crabs. Sunday Crabs get beat 11-3 by the Hawks. Igloo get beat 9-3 by Hawks. Moral of story? Warriors should only play on Saturday. If it would have been Saturday then they would have beat the Crabs, since they almost beat the Hawks and the Crabs was blown out the Hawks. Secondly Igloo would beat the Crabs because the point differential was less when they played the Hawks on Sunday. Stupid enough for everyone?
Bottom line if you don't play each other you don't know the outcome. But every time I see someone talking about a team and doing the same thing I just did. Lots of talent on all these teams. Congrats to the Hawks.
Lol, there is not one bad player on igloo A or B

That is age based, sixth grade, or now rising 7th, for a lot of the country. Are you from New [lacrosse]?
Would that be turning 14 in 3 weeks??

It's Dad thanks. My kid is a 2023 with a 2005 birthday. Complaining on BOTC about a hold back isn't going to change it.
He's going into 8th. A very talented kid who doesn't need to play down to build confidence or get more playing minutes. Sometimes plays down to help out and takes playing time away from other kids in that team. Pathetic. I feel bad for those kids who work hard all year only to see that kid come in a take playing time away. Sorry but - a 2004 birth year should be playing 2022. Many true 2023s are still only 11. It's a safety issue and leveling the playing field issue. Lacrosse should change the tournament rules nationally like soccer did this year to a U(age) format. Especially since WsYL enforces birth date. Kids should only play birth year only. Kids should have photo ID cards from US Lacrosse with birth date checked by refs before each game and coaches submit rosters. At the end of the day, the kids just want to play fair, in competitive games and get better each season. With dreams of playing D1 lacrosse, just like every little leaguer dreams to play in the MLB. Fair play = conitinued growth nationally of Lacrosse. Hopefully, the new recruiting rules will start to help this problem.

Not very good at math . How about 13 in 3 weeks.
I see Shore2Shore is opening up to other grade levels. They probably should have done that before the 2023 team fizzled out this year. A day late and a dollar short S2S.

While I agree with an age based premise your dates are wacky....there's no need to copy soccer and you need to have a much wider field of vision than just your one state.

Done better every weekend and had a great showing last weekend
Why aren't the 91 bandit and Express Haugen in the NXT? How will the Warriors and True Blue do?
14 in three weeks? Are you stupid? If Uncle Sam was born on 8/12/04, how old is he today boys & girls?
Maybe some parents should have repeated a grade.

I think the birthdate statement that he will be 14 was sarcastic, most people think he's going to be 14 not 13 but who knows...

Youth Sports cutoff dates need to be staggered ...Hockey is Jan 1 ...Lacrosse should be Sept 1...Baseball is May 1st (I think)...Soccer ?...basketball ?

Why do they need to be staggered? Whether it be the start of the calendar year or the school year or the season, once you pick the date and move forward, it's a non-issue thereafter. If I was to pick a date, I would probably go with school year, but to be honest, Jan 1 is the easiest to deal with as everyone in each age group is born within the same year(s).

The date set by US lacrosse is sept 1. There is no debate.
but US Lacrosse has no control over the sport. They proclaim to be the governing body but how many leagues actually play by their rules. I don't believe they do so in youth lacrosse on LI. If they set a date deadline and other leagues/ tournaments continued with graduation years what would make people choose one over the other. That choice exists now. You don't like grade based don't play in the tournament...that simple.. for example US Lax has no control over young guns, Howard County league, Crab Fest etc.
As a ref, I am not getting involved with checking age cards., or anything else remotely close to that. When I ask a coach if all his players are certified and properly equipped that suffices for me. Anything more is not part of my responsibilities nor do I want the liability. Just a matter of time before one of the wacko parents out here starts suing. We get attacked enough by parents, just imagine if a kid shouldn't be playing...One less ref on the field.

Are you serious? This is part of a ref's job in other sports (e.g., soccer) but somehow it's not something lax refs should be doing in your mind?

While I agree with an age based premise your dates are wacky....there's no need to copy soccer and you need to have a much wider field of vision than just your one state.
The fact that you think the dates are wacky is further proof that age-based divisions are needed. Grade v Grade, MD, PA, MA, ect kids are older than NY kids. If kids from different states are going to play each other, than a nationally recognized and enforced year needs to be used. Whether its Sept-Aug, or Jan-Dec, or something else, something needs to be implemented, used nationally, and enforced.
I am a big fan of going age-based nationally for incoming kids going further, leaving current teams in tact. I think a lot of resistance comes from clubs, parents, and even kids, who don't want to see current teams broken up. So just do it for the kids starting out. So, for the 2017-18 season, have a 2009 (BY) division, along with a 2026 (GY), 2025 (GY), 2024 (GY) and so on. Than for 2018-19, have 2010 (BY), 2009 (BY), 2026 (GY) etc. The grad year teams will eventually cycle out. Personally, I would prefer moving it all at once, but I am a realist, and see that phasing it in may be more acceptable and achievable in the short term.

it shouldn't be done by soccer refs either...We don't police the leagues. Its not our decision who plays and who doesn't play. We enforce the rules as written in the rule book....We don't do it now and everyone assumes that all the kids playing are in that grade correct?? When are the coaches responsible and liable.
Not a refs job.. its a coaches job and if he allows someone to cheat then he should be held accountable.
Just like the refs should not administer any first aid to a hurt player.
You are just looking to place blame on someone and that blame belongs on the coach if found to be cheating.

This post is a mess. The responsibilities of a referee are determined by those who govern the league/tournament, ect. Individual refs don't determine what they are. You say that you "enforce the rules as written in the rule book." Well, if the rule book says that you are to check the IDs of each player, than that is what you will be doing. At present, you don't due this. People are simply advocating that the rules be written so that you do. And yes, at present, you do decide who plays and who doesn't, to the extent that if a player commits misconduct sufficient to warrant disqualification, you are deciding that he doesn't play. Coaches will be held accountable if found cheating - but guess what, who determines IF they are cheating? If not the referee, than whom? At its core, the purpose of a referee if to stop people from cheating; to enforce the rules. That is their mission. Taking one second per player to ensure that the player is eligible for that game fits squarely within this mission.

You forgot "chasing t-shirts". Nice excuse. If you want to claim to be a top team team you shouldn't be playing glorified town teams from Rhode Island. Beating teams by 10 doesn't make your team better. It makes them lazy. I guess some true top teams value competition.
How long does this age stuff go on for? Let's just play and stop the whining. The only reason your complaining is because the kid is bigger, would it matter if he was a smaller kid? You would say a word.
Great point!!
Some good teams at Bash at the Beach on Sunday, they could of had some really good match ups if they put some effort in the schedule making.

checkout high school page. unfortunately never ends
People still talk about 91 as if they win games. Hang it up already and get with a team from this Century
Good luck trying to play football. Then. You will see a kid 1-2 years younger tower over your kid, and weigh 20-30 pounds more. But, that is ok thou!! Talk about how to develop these kids and not point fingers. Hate to know what you tell your kids everyday....stupid

Where is this team ? When is tryouts? Sign us up. Tired of hearing how Warriors almost beat The Hawks. Suffolk is desperate for a team like that. 91 owns all the Suffolk teams, except Leg. I forgot Zummo's year is here to take over with Denver coming. Express, 91s best friend is an even worse option. Express has 35 payers and 14 players.not counting the other two or three that just show up for games. Those two organizations only care about the top 1% of the kids. I get it. That is what draws the money from the rest of us. They build the top kids and get the name. I know only 1% of the kids go to college. What about the parents that just want what they pay for? Their kid to improve and appreciate the game.
Every pop up team gets smashed on here. So you don't know anything about those coaches or kids. Bottom line is pay up and shut up. Till PAL revamps system.
Sorry for rant but was trying to figure out where to have my son tryout this year, my email is clogged with tryout emails. So where is this team? I haven't seen it.

To don't think anyone on S2S would ever claim to be a top team. They are a solid second tier team which is perfect option for the core entitled towns they draw from.

Bigger (or smaller) vs bigger and older are NOT the same thing! Please educate yourself on maturity and youth sports. And for the record, the debate should go away for high school-aged players (which would be obvious if you've done any research on the aforementioned maturity and youth sports!).

Warriors did well. Finished with an overall record of 4 - 1, & lost a very close game to Brotherly Love in the semis.
Is the halloween havoc a competitive tournament?

Depends on the team. Generally pretty decent teams. Google Halloween havoc 2016 tourney machine and check it out.
True Blue parents are awfully quiet today. Funny how they play two good games in a tournament and come on to tell everyone that will listen that they are a top 5 team, but then play another tourney and get decimated and it's crickets. A lesson in humility for you.

Not a True Blue parent but putting it out there that your post is unnecessary. Seasons are winding down and it is fair to say there were no 2023 teams that completely dominated. True Blue and other good programs are not quite there but are on the cusp of being competitive with Express, Igloo and 90+1. There are no losers in this age group and it will be really exciting to watch over the next couple of years.

Yes. Such is life. The old fart coaches have seen their day.
Warriors as usual played nobody at the NXT every team in there bracket had a losing record.
True Blue is 100% in the top 5 teams on LI
Really..good club but not in the top 10.

All anyone has said was that they were good enough to be in an AA bracket. Which they showed that this weekend with every game competitive but one. They have come a long way and continue to do so. Remember this was their first ever AA bracket. Next year they will continue to pass by teams. The coach has improved these kids tremendously and this summer has proven that.

Anyone can enter a AA bracket.They finished with an overall record of 2w - 3L & finished 8th out of 15 teams. Hardly impressive & they still have a long way to go so please stop with this talk of top 5.

They definitely had the loudest coach at the tourney! Geez, I don't know how he can do that for two days straight! All kidding aside, they absolutely should be playing AA tournaments. They are good enough to compete and they won't get any better playing in B tourneys (S2S). I like how people will criticize teams for losing after challenging themselves. You need to get off the island and play some different teams. Just because you've never heard of teams, doesn't mean they are not great competition. Teams from Michigan, Colorado (3D Colorado, one of the best in the state), LI, Jersey (Tri-State, always great games, probably Jersey's finest), PA (Rising Sons, very good team, and Brotherly Love, elite team would beat just about everyone) and Md all represented and with very few exceptions, they were all excellent teams that would fare very well against most top teams around. Maybe instead of going there, these teams should go to Bash at the Beach, Hershey, Liberty Bell Challenge, Rhode Island Classic, Lake George or Primetime Invitationals and beat everyone by 15. Would that be better? Then you'll complain that they sandbagged because your kids team wouldn't be able to win their T-shirt.

True, anyone can enter. But some teams would rather not take the chance of losing. They would rather play the same 5 teams over and over at crappy local tourneys and try to win a shirt. Fortunately, some teams realize that it's not about wins and losses, but instead about putting their players against the best available talent and challenging them to do their very best, take the physical punishment against teams full of holdbacks, learn to beat kids that are bigger, stop kids that are faster and use every last bit of energy they have to try to win. These kids are learning about perseverance. They are learning the importance of leaving it all on the field. You don't learn that by playing teams beneath you. For that, you need to be challenged. I don't know about you, but those are the transcendent lessons that I want my son to learn.
Don;t think Igloo really belongs in the conversation any more[/quote]
Look at Igloo's last 2 tournaments: last week Young Guns (this was probably the weakest YGs field in years) - played 3 nobodies in pool play, barely beat a terrible Looneys team (1-2 record) in playoff and then got absolutely destroyed by the Hawks in the final. They went 1-2 in Summer Slam the week before losing to 2 teams that didn't win the Championship. They played in crappy tournaments leading up to this and when they played some semblance of competition they were awful. But yet they still claim to be a top 5 team - that bandits win last year can only take you so far. Daddy ball and the toxic atmosphere created by both coaches are killing the team.
At least the Warriors and S2S play anyone and everyone. Don't know much about the RI tournament - seems like maybe they wanted to end on a nice weekend in Newport. A little cheesy but hey the Bandits played in that Trilogy tournament - that was probably worse. For all trying out for Igloo - beware of the coaches. Do your homework on both.

Right. Good luck at Patriot Games this weekend. Competition looks fierce. The TB boys will certainly be challenged. Especially if one of the 2023/2024 teams makes it to the championship.

That's a lie - look it up & compare their bracket with the others - basically the same.Just more excuses.

Think it's fair to say to do your homework on all of the above teams and their coaches.
There's just nothing like tryout season on LI. Year after year like clock work you read the same bs. Coaches, directors and parents of kids who got cut or are afraid to get cut on here making sht up about every team, posting dire warnings for all those parents who could possibly be thinking of finding a better team or situation for their kid. The complete bs that people come up with never seases to amaze.

One thing is for sure - the boys will persever & leave it all out on the field.Best of luck.
Igloo is a burly blend of negative coaching, favoring your son and screaming at other kids to cover up his mistakes, favoring kids from your son's town (i.e. his friends) over stronger players, having your son not come off the field as stronger players watch in confusion from the sidelines. Oh...I could have just said daddy ball! Their decline was predictable. Kids do get good a lesson in adult politics and nepotisim by being part of it but they deserved better. They preach "eat what you kill" but practice "eat what you kill unless you are johnny and his friends".

If only DK would come back to save the day!
So Patriot Games is where you are finding best available talent this weekend? Guess NLF not challenging or physical enough. You should practice what you preach

Whats with all the hate - did your son not make the team, I will tell you why he wasn't invited back...... because of YOU
I hear the exact same story from S2S and they have a few daddy coaches.

Still one of the best organizations on L I . but I guess everyone has to push their product. Do your research & good luck at the tryouts.

TB would play in an NLF anyday, but I'm pretty sure you need to be invited to play.

Not sure the obsession with TB of late. There a solid team that play hard. Why the negativity towards them.

Not sure either - same thing on other age groups as well.

Son plays for Annapolis Hawks and we thought the Crabs were big the True National team had players from all over and were way bigger than our 2022 team We watched these teams play both times and it was actually awkward the size differential Bandits were extremely skilled but physically beaten By the second game they were worn out. True goalie was a dazzler. Well regardless was nice having these teams down in Annapolis. Congrats to all
The Bandits are a very good team. I only saw them once but they are well coached and have a fantastic attitude. My sons sat with a few of the boys and really enjoyed the team vibe and parents.

Anyone else think it's strange that the NLF schedule didn't come out till Naptown was over? Or that, because the Bandits lose ANOTHER tournament, they have the easiest schedule in pool play by far? Chief Whitetooth must not have any confidence at all in his club these days! [lacrosse], the Warriors, their B team, have a tougher schedule! Oh how the mighty have fallen... and quickly!

and the most expensive club on LI. Don't forget... you need to purchase two $250.00 helmets so the club looks good on any rainy day.

Actually no because the coaches have had the schedule over a week ago. Our coach sent it out to us. The directors had it and sent to coaches. So I would square it up with your coach

It is really disturbing how grown men gloat over the fact that a team of children have lost a few games. You all need to have your heads checked.
From experience the summer entering junior high school is when Long Island teams take a step back. It happened with my older son then once they go through puberty the pendulum swings again. That's why you see igloo Bandits and express haven't had great summers

The probably were all on age. It's just when you take the biggest, fastest, most skilled players from 15 different states, they naturally are going to be bigger than the biggest kids that live within 15 miles of each other.

Maybe they just have to start shooting straight rather than behind their backs

Agreed
he NXT in PA this past weekend was crazy. Brotherly Love, Juiced Cherries, FCA kids were on the average 5'7 - 6 feet tall 120-180lbs. It was pathetic Juiced Cherries were the worst looked like kids drove to the filed. It amazes me you play in these tournaments with kids 1-2 years older. The biggest kid on our team is probably 5'4 120lbs and his Dad is 6'6, this kid was dwarfed in every game we played.
just saying the refs in the NXT tournament were the worst refs I have ever seen. They were cursing at parents if there was a penalty on the field they were telling kids get off the field. The worst officiating i have ever seen. Also 100% they hate NY's one ref said it to an Outlaw parent. So all you NY teams playing in PA good luck.
4th, 5th and 6th grade skilled lax boys can handle hold backs, but once their 12 and boys their playing against are 13 and 14 it gets harder to compete if not impossible, they can't physically match up - I don't really buy into a lax area takes a step back, it's just that 13/14 are hitting puberty and 12 isn't for the most part. Will never change unless all top teams from LI, MD, PA and West/Mid West agree to go age based. The NFL, MLB and Olympics test for an unfair advantage, but for some reason youth club lax allows it to happen and in some cases encourages it.

My point was certain areas encourage and promote hold backs i.e. Maryland Massachusetts etc while it isn't widespread in NY

That's every year in PA. LI teams always get the most calls against them.

Will never change unless all top teams from LI, MD, PA and West/Mid West agree to go age based. The NFL, MLB and Olympics test for an unfair advantage, but for some reason youth club lax allows it to happen and in some cases encourages it.
NFL, MLB, Olympics, and youth lacrosse. Pretty much all the same. Huh?

Most likely the Ref's were fat, stupid, and rolled off the farm next to the field. Does this sound like the tournament you played in at PA?
Igloo is a sharp looking team. They have a good bunch of boys and great coaching.
Not sure why all the hatred on this site. A lot of goods teams out there, and a lot of bad ones.

What is your take on the igloo coaching. We played them at young guns in the semis. They move the ball well and play great defense.
Parents had a lot of respect.

Actually no because the coaches have had the schedule over a week ago. Our coach sent it out to us. The directors had it and sent to coaches. So I would square it up with your coach
sorry Bandit dad... obviously that hit a nerve... keep paying JS for that Trilogy Shirt!

Fierce? Maybe so, but how do you know any of those teams, I heard of maybe 3 of them.

You must be the Outlaw coach or a parent of one of the Outlaw teams that didn't very well last weekend, People know which team you are. Besides the kids, who have no fault whatsoever in that S%^T show, the adults should be embarrassed!
Outlaws 2024 made it to the finals, but came up a little short. Parents, coach (class act!)

100% accurate
If only DK would come back to save the day!

Chief Whitetooth! I love it! I think people take pleasure in watching the fall of The Bandits because their coach is an arrogant [lacrosse] who spent year running up the score on other kids and encouraging showboating by his players. I truly hope the team loses again this weekend, though it will be tough with that BS schedule. Is that why people want to play for the Bandits? To face easy teams, play zone defense, and then watch the coaches' kids play the whole game when they finally get to a meaningful one? And pay an extra $5000 for that? Sounds awesome.

Looneys parents were classy, congratulated the igloo parents. They were amazed on how the kids played, and how the game went back and forth. Came down to possession at the end

All anyone has said was that they were good enough to be in an AA bracket. Which they showed that this weekend with every game competitive but one. They have come a long way and continue to do so. Remember this was their first ever AA bracket. Next year they will continue to pass by teams. The coach has improved these kids tremendously and this summer has proven that.
Anyone can enter a AA bracket.They finished with an overall record of 2w - 3L & finished 8th out of 15 teams. Hardly impressive & they still have a long way to go so please stop with this talk of top 5.
True, anyone can enter. But some teams would rather not take the chance of losing. They would rather play the same 5 teams over and over at crappy local tourneys and try to win a shirt. Fortunately, some teams realize that it's not about wins and losses, but instead about putting their players against the best available talent and challenging them to do their very best, take the physical punishment against teams full of holdbacks, learn to beat kids that are bigger, stop kids that are faster and use every last bit of energy they have to try to win. These kids are learning about perseverance. They are learning the importance of leaving it all on the field. You don't learn that by playing teams beneath you. For that, you need to be challenged. I don't know about you, but those are the transcendent lessons that I want my son to learn.
We get it you work hard so does every team and this age group is packed with good players. Which will be great next few years that's what is crazy everyone attacking everyone. Step back and enjoy it not every age group is this competitive.

Just more whining,crying & excuses why the L I teams did not win.
Don't believe anybody is gloating over JS and Bandits struggles (OK, maybe a few people). Rather believe they are more laughing at the irony that many of the personnel decisions made by JS are coming back to bite him now. He allowed many very talented players to leave the team so as not to take playing time away from his twins or less talented (and frankly, some tiny) boys because the parents kiss his butt, they play tackle for him in the fall and they are local. Cant imagine he wasn't kicking himself last week watching his former player light it up at the WSOL in Denver with the 2022's and other players that are incredible athletes compete on a national stage in other sports after not being encouraged by JS. Listen, obviously JS is a solid pro coach and an excellent women's coach but my take, a lousy evaluator of young boys and identifying who has the highest ceilings regardless of who is willing to stroke his ego.

100%. He only coaches those teams to put his kids in the spotlight. His twins and buddy's kid don't come off the field in big games. Egomaniac.

It's not just the Bandits that people gloat over. Express, Igloo, True Blue, Legacy...whenever any of these teams lose, 9 times out of 10 there is someone on here joyfully reporting the loss. It's sad.

As an express parent we wish he had kept that player as well as this is another obvious post by this family I mean doesn't everyone want a player two years older on their team. Bandits set the bar and teams have risen up to it. I think it's great my son wanted to beat them for years and they finally did it without the way older player. Not many age groups have SO many competitive teams and it is great for the kids to compete

Obviously not an Express parent. Just some idiot trying to stir the pot. A player two years older ? Get your facts right before you start babbling like a fool.

The guy that posted this is a donkey. The only team at NXT that was anywhere close to being big was Dukes. Cherries had 2-3 large kids and 8 small ones, BL doesn't have a kid 5'7 let alone that be the avg height.

Anyone who know the Bandits knows whose parent is writing this post. His kid who played second fiddle to the best kid at middy on the team in 4th/5th grade, then went to Express, now only plays soccer.
"Incredible athletes, national stages in other sports" come on Melville daddy/mommy everyone knows this is you keyboard chest pumping and grinding your ax...Move on, Back of the net is looking for you.
Humble bragging about your kid being an incredible athlete is a sad look. And BTW we all saw you many times stroke the ego, so don't be a hypocrite....

Your out of your mind Cherries were tremendous and so was BL I didn't see the Dukes so I cant comment. FCA very big also.
Cherries Goalie, 31, 25 23 just to name a few.

Two more votes and they would have been the Squished Bagels.
The next few years are going to be rough for boys that are on age, even more difficult for kids that have summer birthdays (or in NY fall birthdays) who started school as they had just turned 5 or in NY they would still be 4. There are some kids who look like giant studs right now not because they are actually better, but because they are older. It will actually be the worst from 8th into 9th, because there will be kids who have already started late (so they were already 6), some then did K and then Pre-first too (adding another year) and then my absolute favorite, then they repeat 8th grade. So these kids look like unstoppable beasts from 4th-9th grade. But trust me, the on age kids catch up and it is hysterical to watch when the kid that has always just run through everyone can't do that any more. My "on age" Rising Soph is seeing that this summer. The gap has closed big time and it feels really good for him to now be able to run just as fast and be just as strong. I can also tell you, it is also hysterical to see these "man-baby" kids (that is what my son called them when they were shaving in 5th-7th grade) now struggle, they (and their parents) are not handling it too well.

I hope you are right because it is such a sh** show right now as I have a rising 9th and rising 7th who are on age and are competing fine but wow are some of these boys "mature". And the arrogance of the parents astounds me. It's hard to believe as you watch the games that anyone takes winning and losing seriously since the reasons for a certain teams success (not all of course but a few are really obvious) is so obviously because they're older. I don't get the pride in that. I can imagine that since they have bought into the fools gold of holding their child back it must really hurt when reality strikes. The skill sets of some of the smaller on age boys is impressive so once they catch up I can totally see them passing everyone by.
I just read through this thread and it seems the the owners of the BL team are thirsty for attention. Have you guys won any major event? Just saw NXT Cup event last weekend and you lost!

It will actually be the worst from 8th into 9th, because there will be kids who have already started late (so they were already 6), some then did K and then Pre-first too (adding another year) and then my absolute favorite, then they repeat 8th grade. So these kids look like unstoppable beasts from 4th-9th grade. But trust me, the on age kids catch up and it is hysterical to watch when the kid that has always just run through everyone can't do that any more. My "on age" Rising Soph is seeing that this summer. The gap has closed big time and it feels really good for him to now be able to run just as fast and be just as strong. I can also tell you, it is also hysterical to see these "man-baby" kids (that is what my son called them when they were shaving in 5th-7th grade) now struggle, they (and their parents) are not handling it too well.
I hope you are right because it is such a sh** show right now as I have a rising 9th and rising 7th who are on age and are competing fine but wow are some of these boys "mature". And the arrogance of the parents astounds me. It's hard to believe as you watch the games that anyone takes winning and losing seriously since the reasons for a certain teams success (not all of course but a few are really obvious) is so obviously because they're older. I don't get the pride in that. I can imagine that since they have bought into the fools gold of holding their child back it must really hurt when reality strikes. The skill sets of some of the smaller on age boys is impressive so once they catch up I can totally see them passing everyone by.

I believe it. I think that's why we are seeing all the "undefeated" teams that no one could touch for years are starting to lose as boys start hitting puberty. The almighty Bandits, Express, Black Ice, Crush are all starting to take a regular turn at losing and everyone quickly points to coaching and player movements. It could very simply be other boys in the grades are simply catching And size is leveling out. The gaps in team performance will continue to narrow. We will continue to see the holdback parents unravel on the sidelines as their system fails them.
Crush lost once. Please don't put those other teams in the same sentence as Crush. Cant even remember the last time they lost their age, if they ever have.

Thanks for that wonderful inspiring story. Kind of reminds me of "the little train that could".Please keep us all updated on the progress of your Rising Soph.

They went 1-2 in Summer Slam the week before losing to 2 teams that didn't win the Championship. They played in crappy tournaments leading up to this and when they played some semblance of competition they were awful. But yet they still claim to be a top 5 team - that bandits win last year can only take you so far. Daddy ball and the toxic atmosphere created by both coaches are killing the team.
At least the Warriors and S2S play anyone and everyone. Don't know much about the RI tournament - seems like maybe they wanted to end on a nice weekend in Newport. A little cheesy but hey the Bandits played in that Trilogy tournament - that was probably worse. For all trying out for Igloo - beware of the coaches. Do your homework on both.

Head coach is nothing but his kid first, then Manhasset kids next. If you are neither of these kids you will never see the field. The assistant has been banned from coaching girls PAL lacrosse in Huntington for life. Not who I want coaching my kids...

we've all heard the same crap year after year after year. No doubt from disgruntled parents who's kids got cut. if there are 3 manhasset kids and no one else see's the field how do they play games??
Kid from Mineola on Igloo plays and he's there best player… Not from Manhasset or coaches kid...
Blah Blah Blah, this was such p?&$y move, posting on BOTC about a team and its coaches. Who do you play for and do you always talk about people on this site. I watched igloo play in Philly. If I lived on Long Island and close to Manhasset. I would have my kid tryout. Those kids are coached well and the kids are good.

NEWSFLASH : Any team with Daddy coaches - at any level, in any sport- are going to favor his kid, and his kid's buddies (town). Understand that unless your kid is the exception, he will feel the pain. If you can't deal...go to another team.
Your newsflash is incorrect. Many good dad coaches out there who put the team first and their kid second. I have seen it very many years.
You are just jealous because you do not have the skill, talent or ability to coach and your kid plays behind other kids so you look for excuses.
Thanks for playing.

No excuses. The Defensive coach yells at everyone. His son hasn't made a mistake yet.
Also brings kids from his low level PAL team. Team has fallen fast. Maybe he can cut a few more deals to bring some more C level kids from his town.

Ha Ha!! Here we go, just another tool taking shots. Be more specific when you act like a [lacrosse]. What C level kids are on that team? I'd take anyone of those kids. Someone is disgruntal ... be happy your kid can be fortunate enough to play in a team... [lacrosse]!!

You must not have a big group to choose from if you would take any one of those kids. What a joke.

Congrats to Igloo out scoring teams 46-2 today in The Blue and Gold Tournament today. You must all be so proud to enter a B tournament and blow out teams. Nice of you to end the year on a high note for your boys. Keep moving that train forward.

you must be a complete lunatic trolling tourny machine!!
Looks like they will canibalize their own for the sake of the tryouts! Wow!
If your happy where you are why do so many people feel the need to rip other teams. Let them be. If they suck let them continue to suck if they are good get better. I have an older son and his age was like this younger now the kids are all friends and you realize how insane it all was. Enjoy the ride with your kid

I tell you what Lunacy is. Igloo won tournament today out scoring everyone 69-5. Why play this tournament. Did you need a moral victory at end of year. Coaches want to roll into tryouts getting parents a tshirt. Was that the return on investment you paid for 3k. You embarrassed kids this weekend by putting your attack on defense and defense on attack during games with everyone watching. Shame!

maybe you should practice more with your son. he's terrible and so is his team. Please email the igloo director and tell him what tournaments to sign up for. also please let us know if your son's pathetic team is playing anywhere else this summer so we can make sure they won't get embarrassed

Now it is so clear why you enjoy blowing out teams. Yes my son is a terrible lacrosse player and so is his team, but he will grow up to be a better man than you. What's your excuse? Enjoy your chest pumping this weekend. Warrior Classic Champions. wow! All the B teams today thank you for coming down and showing us how pathetic we all are. We all enjoyed your on field and off field lessons you teach us.
JS kicked AJ's A$$ today. Express is not a good team anymore. Too
Many favors for Daddy kids. Time to move to another club.

Which express team played in the 2023 bracket at the Long Ireland tourney?
My kid plays for Express. We were not ready at all for the Bandits. Tired of those favors. We play the wrong kids and some of the kids don't belong in the team. I'll be other tryouts.

We have played Express many times and they are a solid team with excellent players. bandits should be humble because they have certainly had their share of losses this year!

All anyone has said was that they were good enough to be in an AA bracket. Which they showed that this weekend with every game competitive but one. They have come a long way and continue to do so. Remember this was their first ever AA bracket. Next year they will continue to pass by teams. The coach has improved these kids tremendously and this summer has proven that.
Anyone can enter a AA bracket.They finished with an overall record of 2w - 3L & finished 8th out of 15 teams. Hardly impressive & they still have a long way to go so please stop with this talk of top 5.
True, anyone can enter. But some teams would rather not take the chance of losing. They would rather play the same 5 teams over and over at crappy local tourneys and try to win a shirt. Fortunately, some teams realize that it's not about wins and losses, but instead about putting their players against the best available talent and challenging them to do their very best, take the physical punishment against teams full of holdbacks, learn to beat kids that are bigger, stop kids that are faster and use every last bit of energy they have to try to win. These kids are learning about perseverance. They are learning the importance of leaving it all on the field. You don't learn that by playing teams beneath you. For that, you need to be challenged. I don't know about you, but those are the transcendent lessons that I want my son to learn.
Not with true blue, but well said.
Right. Good luck at Patriot Games this weekend. Competition looks fierce. The TB boys will certainly be challenged. Especially if one of the 2023/2024 teams makes it to the championship.
Looks like TB didn't make it into the winners bracket....lost twice on their way to meh.....
They lost in the loser bracket .... crickets.....
Listen, Igloo is still a good team. Not great, but good. The problem I have with them is that they play in terrible tournaments. I think NXT was the toughest one they played in and they truly had the easiest schedule of the tourney. Go back and check tourney machine if you think I'm not being truthful. They faced one good team, that's it. Looneys is not a good team anymore. Their best players went to Crabs this year. They faced the Hawks; a very good team. And they got beat badly. There are tourneys, like the one they played in last weekend, that everyone understands are for the weaker teams to play in and have a shot at winning. Those should not be for a team that last year considered itself one of the Islands best. If your son is a quality player, you should want him to play against the best players every week. That's how he'll improve. If you don't want him to be challenged, why play travel???

This post is a bag of contradictions. Are you against what igloo did this weekend or are you telling everyone to suck it up because it's good to play against better teams. You know they blew teams out 17-0 and it could have been double that. That's not a challenge for the other team but a demoralizing beat down. Why not play in NLF against bandits, laxachuetts and Haugen. It was the same weekend on 15 miles down the LIE.
If you know so much about Igloo then you would know the reason why Igloo didn't play in the NLF? That would be a perfect question to ask JS!

I don't know anything about igloo idiot. That's why the question was asked.

JS did not allow them in the tourney.
[/quote]Right. Good luck at Patriot Games this weekend. Competition looks fierce. The TB boys will certainly be challenged. Especially if one of the 2023/2024 teams makes it to the championship.
Looks like TB didn't make it into the winners bracket....lost twice on their way to meh.....[/quote]
2024 went the championship . . .

Ok, I see, it was JS fault that igloo played in a weak tournament to destroy teams. Maybe for the same reasons JS banned them, the directors of this weekends tournament will do the same next year.
Igloo is banned from NLF tournaments. Their director pissed off the wrong people.

Spallina and 91 blackballed Igloo and they were college roommates / teammates. Sad how money has created an environment that those entrusted in growing the game intentionally block kids from enjoying it.
Igloo isn't allowed in NLF at any age. That's why they formed the NLF. Crabs express 90+1 leading edge WCS, laxachusettts
Now it is so clear why you enjoy blowing out teams. Yes my son is a terrible lacrosse player and so is his team, but he will grow up to be a better man than you. What's your excuse? Enjoy your chest pumping this weekend. Warrior Classic Champions. wow! All the B teams today thank you for coming down and showing us how pathetic we all are. We all enjoyed your on field and off field lessons you teach us.
[/quote]
His excuse is he's 5'4" with red hair. You'd spend your life over compensating too
So a handful of clubs created the NLF and instead of paying to go to tournaments they run their own and keep the money. Genius!!
If I was Spallina, I'd be happy to take the Igloo $$$ and then gie them the complete beat down that they were giving to C teams at Mitchell field. Igloo is not an AA team at this age group. Maybe a solid A

Original poster was referring to the fact that TB might be playing one of the 2023/2024 teams that were in the 2023 division at this B level tournament. It was a snarky/sarcastic post referring to the level of competition TB is seeking in 2nd tier PA tournaments.

The team they lost to is a AA team. The rising sons were in the NXT Cup as an AA team. TB has had very competitive games the last two times they played them. I do not think that it is a B level tournament.
TB is B+ at best.. solid at that level... need work . but heading in the right direction..
Ok TB mommy

The only AA team in PA is Brotherly Love....maybe Mesa....
Rising Sons is a PA A team....but compared to NY and MD A teams.....not even close....You need to adjust your thinking when you go to PA....while they have a few decent teams, their AA isn't comparable to MD/NY AA (number of teams that can play at that level). the only true AA teams at NXT were Dukes, BL and Warriors.

When you say the team played the wrong kids do you mean the wrong kids for the game or throughout the entire tournament or season? If the latter, I hate to say it but you better go to other tryouts because you are not making the team again. Especially since the coaches are probably sick of your complaining about playing time every tournament. I am sure you kid has potential but potential doesn't win games. Maybe in a couple years you can flip them the bird and say " I told you so" but not today.
True blue best kids going to other tryouts

If the Warriors are an AA team then i guess True Blue is an AA team because they beat them twice this year easily

Funny because true Blue beat the warriors
Funny how people start rumors. No one is leaving True Blue. The kids absolutely love it and there are no problems on the team what so ever. Everyone will be back and as happy as ever. Something you guys lack.

91 Warriors? They bombed big time in the Maryland. 1-4. Even lose the consolation game. Think the only team they beat was from Florida. NLF 1-3.
As an Express parent of starting player, I can only hope the BM Super Team rumors are true. AJ is the worst. Another tryout coming where AJ makes no changes. Can we fix the defense already!!!! Oh, the fat man has it under control.

Word on the street is Igloo is starting to melt at all ages. Playing in the NLF will only speed up the process because the Igloo nation would never tolerate getting skunked in tournaments,

Their B team is more of a "C" team, and their coaches scream just as much as Diamond.
True Blue tryouts coming up. Don't miss out! We're just a few players away from avenging our loss to 2 Nights Squires 2023! We have them in our sights and just need a little more ammo!
was thinking the same thing....Besides defense played very well this year....****stirrer!

Because the person is a sh#t stirrer and is probably not on the team. There is minimal dissension amongst the parents and if it really where a parent on the team it would be easily identifiable since it is not the defense and it is a starter so it would have to be the starting attack or midfield which leaves six and realistically 5 because one of the coaches son starts so he wouldn't be posting. Who could it be!!! This will be fun trying to figure out. Any and all can participate.

Well we will know tomorrow - lets see how many different color helmets show up at Igloo tryout. And if they make a team, A or B, lets see how Igloo gets answers before the other tryouts. DEPOSIT DOWN!!

Not that it matters TB beat them.
Not that it matters TB beat them.
Every starter on TB will return next season, that's a fact.
I think the score in LI Laxfest was 9-5 TB over Warriors, remember Warrior parents when you guys played no one in the tournament so you thought you line yourselves up with an easy road to the Championship until you got beat by a better team. I love it because your jersey says 90+1 on it you think your an AA team.
Yeah that makes sense? Let's leave a great college coach to go play for some daddy coach??? Jackass! If you want to start a rumor at least think it through first.

What a joke. No Express parent sent this post.
They lost there games by a goal not sure that's what you call bombing! Don't be so disgruntled this B team can compete with a lot of clubs A teams, that bothers you doesn't it!

My son has enjoyed playing for Igloo and will be trying out again. But the parents want a change from Daddy Ball One coach has a kid who should never see the field, and the other coach has a kid who never leaves it. Time for some changes AA

3 of the assistant coaches are daddy coaches.

Your right but the head coach isn't and he 100% calls all the shots.

I won't bring my son to the Igloo tryouts specifically because of the coaching situation. It's been going downhill every year. And the poster commenting on coaches kids is spot on.
Igloo is good for SWAG lol
I guess igloo won't have dibs on any of the kids at the Brine

1. your son is probably not good enough to make this or any of the top teams
2. your obsession with posting on BOTC probably lead to your son being cut from his last team

Seriously? You must be new to this. Igloo had private tryouts last week and asked a handful of boys to come. It's pretty well known that they are looking to upgrade at attack and nowhere else. Any mids, defenders or goalies going to tryouts are just making a donation to the Igloo uniform fund. Pretty sure decisions have been made already at attack as well. Just another scam people. Wake up and smell the yellow snow.

Yup - last year, they had late tryouts for a number of age groups where they pretty much stated they were only looking to fill 2 (!) spots, yet they still had like a 100 boys show up!! I know their tryouts are run like a one-day mini clinic, but seriously, all these boys' parents were doing was subsidizing the team and/or the directors! And let's be honest, most of those families don't need subsidizing!

We get it you don't like igloo, just try to get your facts straight. The team took 10 new boys last year who EARNED a spot at tryouts. This year will be no different, tryout earn a spot.

Hey me knownit all. Why did so many outlaw kids leave the team. Mr know it all, How are those kids playing for those new teams now. 90% of them are impacting those team. Maybe, just maybe it wasn't a good place....wth. donkey!!!

Partially correct. The "earned" part is questionable. The fact is this team turns over at least 10 players every year. And usually a coach too. The latter still In question for this year. . But 50% team turnover every year should be concerning. Buyer beware.

"
I don't have an issue with them really - no skin in the game for me. And I specifically said "late" tryouts - it was for the 2024 team - a close friend's son attended, and he knew going in that there were only two spots open, yet he and 98-odd other families all shelled out $100 each!
considering igloo tryout for my son at attack, is it really going to be a waste of time?

Is the 50% turnover kids leaving or the club brining in better players?

Depends on his skill level. If he is clearly better than someone on team and that kid doesn't have any connection to coach, he can make the team. But understand at this stage most teams are looking to replace 3-5 players. Most coaches know who is comig down already and who they are looking for. This is for any team.

Any mids, defenders or goalies going to tryouts are just making a donation to the Igloo uniform fund. Pretty sure decisions have been made already at attack as well. Just another scam people. Wake up and smell the yellow snow.
Yup - last year, they had late tryouts for a number of age groups where they pretty much stated they were only looking to fill 2 (!) spots, yet they still had like a 100 boys show up!! I know their tryouts are run like a one-day mini clinic, but seriously, all these boys' parents were doing was subsidizing the team and/or the directors! And let's be honest, most of those families don't need subsidizing!
We get it you don't like igloo, just try to get your facts straight. The team took 10 new boys last year who EARNED a spot at tryouts. This year will be no different, tryout earn a spot.
"
I don't have an issue with them really - no skin in the game for me. And I specifically said "late" tryouts - it was for the 2024 team - a close friend's son attended, and he knew going in that there were only two spots open, yet he and 98-odd other families all shelled out $100 each!
Many parents treat this as a 6hr clinic for 100 bucks. Not a bad deal if you are considering it just that.

Depends on his skill level. If he is clearly better than someone on team and that kid doesn't have any connection to coach, he can make the team. But understand at this stage most teams are looking to replace 3-5 players. Most coaches know who is comig down already and who they are looking for. This is for any team.
If he is a righty or an X man, then you should bring him down. Anything else and you're wasting your time and money.

You are glossing over whether there was a private tryout last week. Was there?

Yes, there absolutely was.

So back to original post -- this week is no tryout-- it's a clinic!

Partially correct. The "earned" part is questionable. The fact is this team turns over at least 10 players every year. And usually a coach too. The latter still In question for this year. . But 50% team turnover every year should be concerning. Buyer beware.
let me get this straight, better player trying out and making a team better is concerning??? Hmmmm
Upgrading a player or 2 is normal on any club team. 10 players every year is concerning. half the team is an issue every year?? Hmmmmmmm

2024 igloo took at least 8 new kids
You know the old saying, if you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you.
Igloo had 3 different head coaches in 3 years! Maybe a new one this year? That's a disaster! They had a good year against average teams. This team is going in reverse but now the owner cares about the team because it's the World Series of Youth Lacrosse this year.
I guess he will learn a lesson that you build teams with continuity and coaching. It's surprising because the older teams he started with were built that way. They also pay the most money to coach a team and coaches keep leaving this team??!!! Too many red flags to deny the big problems on this team.

Yes they are so you can stop worrying.
Does anyone know what tournaments qualify for the World Series?
ICON hasn't been relevant in 5 years
Igloo looking for righty attack. Their top 5 mids plus LSM will be the only ones seeing time at midfield. Defense just needs a coach. Know what you're getting into people. Don't be bottom 6-8 on that team, you'll never touch the field.
Did anyone who tried out for Brine make the team?

Ok so can we get back to why this sight was really made. Anyone know who has tryouts coming up. In the next week or 2
Igloo needs to start from Sq one again the 2024 team has a lot of cry babys. I'm taking about parents not kids. And coaches suck. Said. But true. Good players need direction.

Is it me or does that it seem like most teams have their teams picked and basically done before tryouts. I know for a fact on 3 of those 4 teams that coaches have already made the calls - trying to get kids back. Recruiting other kids.

It's a combo team made up of 5th and 6th graders (mostly 5th) from their Texas, Tristate and LI teams. It is definitely not a sandbagging team, but should be competitive in the bracket.

Sounds like you already know. These is a shady underworld to every level, in every organization. With Igloo going early tryouts this year - the pinch is on.
There is a full roster of kids representing Long Island that was chosen from the tryout. Looked like mostly kids from Express, S2s, igloo and a few others mixed in. The roster is online

Guess your kid didn't make the cut or maybe he can't catch & throw.
It's a money grab! And the coaches they bring down to evaluate are encouraged to bring their own kids down to tryouts. So much for conflict of interest! Under Amour HS is legit but the rest are all money grabs. It seems like they are getting enough suckers to fall for it!!

How was the Igloo turnout today?

Doesn't seem like a scam, seems like an opportunity to represent your region and have a great time. Think this is the first year for it though, so only time will tell if it's worth it or not. They do get a lot of gear for the money.

Good to know you've both been keeping track of teams your kid isn't on. Share your thoughts on all the other teams too. Or maybe you should spend less time on here.

Well maybe parents thought to themselves these guys have some nerve holding tryouts during the middle of the day like we have nothing better to do.
About 100 less than expected![/quote]
Nobody wants to comment on how the Igloo tryout was? Did they get a lot of kids? Did they take their current players and the 1 or 2 players they want and put them in a separate group like they did last year (and not pay attention to the other kids)?

There were about 60-75 kids there. Yes, they were separated out. And you kinda got the feeling it was set beforehand. Another scam. Thanks for wasting my time, Igloo.
Igloo Day #2 today maybe it will be better lol...

you people cant be that clueless that you believe tryouts are legit ....ALL teams are set before tryouts, they know what spots they are looking to fill and are only looking at those kids and positions they need

Neither of you were obviously there. There were 80+ boys there, they separated by position for drills and focused on reps, today is scrimmaging and sure they will separate the boys they are focused on

i guess i'm just assuming like most of everything on there you were crapping on everyone else's team like most do. or i think its actually a limited # of people of post 90% of the B.S. and it seems like everyone's doing it.
with that being said, if your kid is on the team, i guess i give you credit for letting him play and enjoy it if thats what he wants and you don't force him onto a more "relevant" team.

That makes sense, since those organizations have the most teams and the most players
You do realize poster is just naming teams to get a rise out of all.
No one is voluntarily leaving top teams(well maybe one unhappy person 😉)
If there were express and 9d1 helmets probably from C team

Most people looking to change teams at this point are parents of non starters who are unhappy with playing time. Whether they know it or not, they are trying out for the B team. If they happen to make the A team, they will be nonstarters and will complain all season.

Probably Express 2nd or 3rd team players and the same for 90+1.
Practically all of Express A is at Brine
Of course all express is at brine ....lol.

If they are lucky enough to play for a D2 or D3 school (if at all) nobody will remember what team they played for at 12. For the record I don't have a kid on the team.

Apparently someone believed the ol' "we're keeping the team together" line from the coaches and parents. The best kids will be looking for a spot on a better team. That's how it works. They got a small taste of success and are bailing on the team.

Nobody from True Blue could make the Igloo roster - so you are probably right that no TB at Igloo tryouts.

It amazes me the amount of parents that have their kids "tryout" for these teams. These "A or AA" teams are already established. Unless your kid is a true diamond in the rough, don't waste your time with these clubs.
A) they cost significantly more than the offbrand "B" teams and don't include much if anything more for that price.
B) if your kid is fortunate enough to be invited to the team and is not a stud, he will be riding the bench next spring/summer. Sure he'll get minutes in the fall tournaments. You still have a number of payments left to make!
My advice is to have your kid tryout for a team that's on its way up. Whether an A division contender or B. There will be more opportunity for quality kids to contribute on those teams. Do your homework on how the team did in the past season. Contact the organization and ask if there are any father coaches and which position the son plays. If it is the same position as your son, be leery. Father coaches on PAL are to be expected. On a $3k/year team, unacceptable.
That's because they are not friends with the dad coaches.

I love the incessant whining of disgruntled parents, seeing miserable people being miserable is worth the time reading this garbage. The best part is how your blowing your kids college funds on a hopeless dream of d1 immortality and financial independence from tuition. Keep the [lacrosse] fest going peeps, I need the entertainment

There were about 60-75 kids there. Yes, they were separated out. And you kinda got the feeling it was set beforehand. Another scam. Thanks for wasting my time, Igloo.
Neither of you were obviously there. There were 80+ boys there, they separated by position for drills and focused on reps, today is scrimmaging and sure they will separate the boys they are focused on
we chose to save our money and not donate to igloo or pay to try and be an a "B" team

Good to know you've both been keeping track of teams your kid isn't on. Share your thoughts on all the other teams too. Or maybe you should spend less time on here.
Who said my kid isn't on the team?
i guess i'm just assuming like most of everything on there you were crapping on everyone else's team like most do. or i think its actually a limited # of people of post 90% of the B.S. and it seems like everyone's doing it.
with that being said, if your kid is on the team, i guess i give you credit for letting him play and enjoy it if thats what he wants and you don't force him onto a more "relevant" team.
Relevant to who? A bunch of dads on BOTC who talk like they play the game? At the end of the day 99% of your kids are going nowhere with lax. If they are lucky enough to play for a D2 or D3 school (if at all) nobody will remember what team they played for at 12. For the record I don't have a kid on the team
To the guy who said 99% of kids going nowhere with lax, you're not even close to being correct - a HS lax SA actually has a 12.3% of playing college lacrosse, with a 2.9% chance of playing D1, a 2.3% chance of playing D2, and a 7.1% chance of playing D3. This also does not take into account other non-NCAA levels such as NJCAA. Granted we're talking about current riusing 7th graders here, and not all will proceed to the HS level, 1% is nowhere near ~12%!

Coming from an Igloo parent who hid in B tournaments this year rather than face real competition! Loser. Go hide under the same rock as your team.

So obviously you wasn't there. Begging for someone to post so you can be you? The People who care were there. The ones that don't care wasn't there. Wonder why no one posting about numbers etc Too many people on this site just want to bash people. I'm sure if your son plays 2023 you know someone who was there. Call or txt them. It's over

If you were not at the "private" workout or were texted by the dad's you donated to the Igloo fund.
If you didn't show consider your self lucky.
If you did pay, you learned a lesson.
Team will be a B- team anyway until the dad's part ways.

Nobody from True Blue could make the Igloo roster - so you are probably right that no TB at Igloo tryouts.

The moron from Igloo that posted this is a j**k o*f. I love the parents on Igloo, Express and 90+1, u guys think your something special its pathetic. My son would run circles around any of your kids and would make any of the above three mentioned teams. However, he loves JC and loves being with his friends and at 10,11,12,13 etc that means more to him/me then saying I play on one of those teams. Sad how you dads think truly sad.

Apparently someone believed the ol' "we're keeping the team together" line from the coaches and parents. The best kids will be looking for a spot on a better team. That's how it works. They got a small taste of success and are bailing on the team.
Why would they bail if they had success.

sometimes it's for convenience. When you have multiple kids playing at different ages, its just easier to commute to the closer team. As long as it is a good fit. That what we did and it worked out.
2023/2026
Actually it says 2026 and 2023 on the GP email. Guess he's taking two teams.

He is not taking any teams. He will be training the 2023 and I can assume the 2026 team but they are not replacing the existing coaching staff.

If you take the word of the AA teams, pretty much everyone else is B teams, so like 98% of all teams! Despite that being a ridiculous assessment of the lax world here on LI, there are indeed a large number of options in Nassau for non-elite players. Where in Nassau is most convenient/local to you?
2023 and 2026
Sue he can. Sure he would. He's the best.
Never said he is the best, Myself and I'm sure that everyone else on this site are tired of the three named teams parents thinking if you don't play on one of those teams your kid isn't any good. There are plenty of legitimate kids out there that are great but could care less the name of team there on. Good luck to all during the tryout season.

"My son would run circles around any of your kids". And those are the top teams around, from a talent perspective. You're pretty much saying he's the best. And that makes you a [lacrosse].
Congratulations to the Long Island 2023/2024 team for winning the Brine championship. Team went 6-0 & only team from Long Island to win the championship.
First class ngratulations to the Brine National Team.
I would hope the selection process was so rigged. It really left out a whole lot of legit players.

So you are just trolling the 12yr old thread? Creepy!!![/quote]
I said I don't have a kid on THAT team. My kid picked what teams he wanted to try put for and ultimately where he plays. He is the one who goes to practice and plays the games. I want him to enjoy the experience.

Congratulations LI Boys! They are some of the best players in the 2023 grade. We know many of them. They have stood out in every AA Tournament this year. Don't push your bitterness on those boys who worked hard and took home the "W".

Not bitter at all. Believe me there are a bunch of kids that were slighted and deserved to be part of that team. The majority always comes down to who you know, and what coaches get their players selected.
Again congratulations and great for those kids. But remember those that deserved a spot....just stating a fact, and you know it.

He just wants to do training and be asst. coach at the high school now.
He's almost 60 years old and didn't enjoy coaching a B to C level 2020 team for the Bluefish.

I am looking for a team that predominantly plays on long island and is centrally located between both counties. Any suggestions?
What about BM????????
S2S and Isaac Neal. Has he coached youth before
To understand how dominant the Brine team was, the coaches played everyone equally. They never had to shorten the bench... speaks to the overall depth of this team.
LOL!!!!! a joke to lighten the mood
Is BM committed to Legacy?

80+ kids tried out and 20 or so made the roster, so of course some kids will feel they were slighted, but obviously based on the outcome, the best kids made it and showed some great lacrosse talent this week. Its sad you could take such a positive thing and somehow make it about you or your kid. My kid had a great time and got to play a game he loves and make new friends along the way. Sorry you didn't get that experience but don't trash kids who did.

Only Long Island team to win ( boys or girls ) Brine. Great job by people who put this team together, they obviously knew what they were doing. If the team had done poorly you may of had an argument.Stop your whining & move on.

I saw roster of kids who made it. There isn't one name on there I would say didn't deserve his spot. Are there other good players out there. Probably. But that team is an all star roster. No question. No surprise they dominated. So no favors needed there.

Yesterday was a fun day at summer sunset. Some good games and great finishes to the lax season.
Who won the final?

Well that's embarrassing. So True Blue was beat by 2024 players. And the 2024's had the brakes on the whole ride. Ouch.
Unbelievable games vs SST. A lot of really good players. Ended in a braveheart between 2 express kids with SST winning.
It was a hybrid of Long Island Titans and Florida players just joining the team.
Isn't the college coach a daddy coach too?
That wasn't the 2024 National team. That was the Warrior team, with a holdback or two.
Indeed, True Blue second team lost 7-5 in pool play and was smoked in the BS championship game.
The Ducks and Empire didn't play them in the the semi final pool, even though they were seeded lower.
They are part of the corporate "family."
The fix was in. All about making sure the t shirt/Insta picture can be posted on social media.
Time to start looking for other tournaments that actually do the right thing instead of trying to monopolize L.I. tournament lacrosse.
Money better spent at other tournaments.
Did the Corporation ever refund the money from the 2015 LI L@xfest Sunday that was canceled because of rain, when the sun mysteriously appeared?

I would hope its just you thinking that the teams already have their teams picked. If you have not succumb to all the craziness of youth lacrosse and you believe your son has talent, maybe a "diamond in the rough, who is maybe a late bloomer", then go to all clinics and tryouts. A good coach will notice a "naturally talented athlete".
What and who are the titans?

Almost lost, I don't know what game you were watching TB was never in it. By the way TB bought many of there players from their so called "A" team and still couldn't win, nice try.

Dude,
Make yourself feel better and make up as much as you can, then throw in some unconnected conspiracy theories plus one actual fact from over two years ago and let it rip.
But the truth is that on Saturday your sons team got beat by a pickup team of 91 kids. If that TB team had played the whole Warrior squad those poor kids would have lost by 20. Consider yourself lucky that you don't have to get junior any therapy to get over the beating.
You are right that the Tourney is subpar at best. That raises a big question, why are your teams there?

Money better spent at other tournaments.

Reality check for what? It is the second TB team for the age group. People should stop wanting others to fail so badly.

Your big bad National team with half Warrior team lost in the BS Championship game to the Fighting Ducks Mayhem.
Go look on Tourney Machine, 9-3.
Now make an excuse.
But, since it is fixed, the shirts/Insta picture goes to the half Warrior, National team. Go look.

The score was posted incorrectly, you dork. The game wasn't even close. That part about 91 and MyLacrosseTournaments posting a fake picture is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site. And that says a lot!

Tourney Machine posted the wrong info. 91 National won. Stop living in the past. It has nothing to do with the boys that played this weekend.

Just like when the Corporation Team AA & A loses and the game scores are not posted on Tourney Machine.

Is it the parents, or the Assistant Daddy coaches?
The TB B team played this weekend the A team beat the Warriors twice this season, so relax Warrior Dads. I will give you guys credit you are a solid B team.
Tourney Machine has Ducks over Warrior/Nationals.
9-3

You are an idiot. Playoffs went like this:
Ducks and 91 Combo were tied for 1st. Goals against were equal so it went to a coin flip. Ducks won.
Ducks took the 1 seed and played the 4 seed, Tribe, and won 7-4.
91 Combo took the 2 seed and played the 3 seed, True Blue, and won 8-1.
Ducks and 91 Combo played in the final and 91 Combo won 9-3.
Scores are not reflective of quality. Those kids were absolutely shot by the end of the day. 5 or 6 games on the day in that oppressive heat was tortuous. I give all of the boys who played on any/all of the teams a ton of credit!
This tournament has really gone downhill. A few years ago it was one of biggest of the summer. Now, it's a mix of town teams and pickup teams. I guess people want to start the season earlier and finish earlier and enjoy the summer. Sounds like a great idea to me!
91 won. Tourney machine is wrong and TB beat the Warriors once. Not saying they couldn't beat them twice but they would have to play twice for that to happen. Let's move on.
Oh, Tourney Machine must be wrong.
Thanks, Warrior Dad.
Thanks, Warrior Dad.

You do realize Ducks and 91 are owned by the same organization right?
This post has to go into the BOTC idiot hall of fame and that is REALLY saying something

If you were not in touch with the "dads" before tryouts (by text or a call) they took your money.
Consider your self lucky if you were not.

The tryouts were exceptional. Most of the kids on the roster we're from Express and Bandits because those two team have the best kids. The others were excellent players at their respective positions, as well. I don't know why you think they were a joke. It was a standard tryout procedure. Skill drills were done so the coaches could get an idea of who they liked, then teams were broken up. Most kids they wanted to look at were on one team and the rest were on the other. Coaches from 91, S2S, Express and Outlaws were all evaluating.
You just sound bitter.

I have no dog in this fight, but why is it that when a 'better' team gets beat by a 'lesser' team, the 'better' team always was missing its best players??

Because that's the only way they can beat them.
Keep it up Frank, this is just comical. And I'd love to hear the story about them pretending to be a town team at Koehler, these "dads" throw their money around flying kids in and out of wherever, such a joke to win.....

Being a "dad" is a great thing, just do it from the other side of the field. If your definition of being a good "dad" is surrounding your kids with all star players from around the nation at your cost and playing them in the wrong brackets just to get a medal or t-shirt for your kids we have different interpretations. You obviously are Ok with it being that it has happened multiple times and you have been called out on it and continue to do it.

They picked a great team but they were pre-picked and the tryout was a joke. They may have come to the same or similar conclusion but it would have been nice to actually run a proper tryout instead of JS taking over and pushing the other evaluators onto the side. There were many issues but the two that stuck out the most is the team selection for the scrimmage which was all Express and 90+1 on one side. How is that normal? If anything, those players should have been interspersed so they could play against one another. The other joke was when the director said people emailed video of kids for evaluation because they couldn't be there. Really!!! Like I said, the team may have been the same with a couple of exceptions but at least make it a real tryout so the kids working their butts off feel as though they had a shot.

I think the easy way to settle this would be to find out where they are playing next and go have a conversation with him. We know you can call kids names and talk about how bad this guy is but can you actually say it to his face
He won't have to look hard. His kids play on the team he's dogging at the "dad's expense

Yeah. Igloo. I'd like to pay $3,500 to have my kid play for one coach whose son doesn't belong on the team, another coach whose kid doesn't leave the field, and to travel every weekend to far off tournaments because they're afraid to play anyone good.
SIGN ME UP !! DADDY BALL IT IS

Please, the tryouts were purposely held on the Saturday before Easter, during a school holiday week. It limited kids from coming down. This made it easier for the coaches to put their players on the team. It's not the best of Long Island.

The tryouts were exceptional. Most of the kids on the roster we're from Express and Bandits because those two team have the best kids. The others were excellent players at their respective positions, as well. I don't know why you think they were a joke. It was a standard tryout procedure. Skill drills were done so the coaches could get an idea of who they liked, then teams were broken up. Most kids they wanted to look at were on one team and the rest were on the other. Coaches from 91, S2S, Express and Outlaws were all evaluating.
You just sound bitter.
Yeah, such an unusual concept. Selecting the best players from the best teams. Makes absolutely no sense & this has never been done before.
Please, the tryouts were purposely held on the Saturday before Easter, during a school holiday week. It limited kids from coming down. This made it easier for the coaches to put their players on the team. It's not the best of Long Island.
The fix was in. Please list your best players for 2023 from Long Island.

Obviously, its all of the Daddy Coaches kids. They play the most they must be the best

If the roster is a joke we'll see how your kids measure up if they were even picked

How many times are you going to write the same thing? Anyone who is interested read it the first five times.
Is the World Series age changing this September? My son waited for this for 2 years and now I'm being told it's becoming U14, with a 1/1/04 cutoff this year. Meaning 2023's will be young again

Exactly. You're pre 9/1 is too old. It stinks, but nothing is likely to change. Its one of the drawbacks of being a holdback.

If they are practicing there then they are associated with the mighty express. It's strange they will be having tryouts at SB then.

This sport will continue to lose credibility as the rules continue to change to accommodate the cheaters. It will get to a point it's just not worth the money or safety risks. Soccer and hockey are birth year with photo ID. And football has same and weight restrictions. Level playing fields making skill and athleticism the winning factors.
Putting a 5'7" 125 lb manchild against a 4' 11" 85 lb prepubescent kid is a dangerous situation. Its becoming more and more common. Everyone jokes about the kid who shaves and drives himself to tournaments. Funny until the ambulances start arriving at tournaments. Shelling out big bucks to cringe when your son is taking a physical beating against a kid 2 years older is getting old. Now tack on thousands to go to Denver where ,"he who has the most holdbacks wins". It takes away the integrity of the sport.

Shelling out big bucks to cringe when your son is taking a physical beating against a kid 2 years older is getting old. Now tack on thousands to go to Denver where ,"he who has the most holdbacks wins". It takes away the integrity of the sport.
WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!

No player may compete, or be rostered, on more than one team during the tournament.
All teams must carry between 18-23 field players and a minimum of 2 goalies at all times. Both goalies do not have to physically participate in the Regional Qualifier, but both need to regularly play within your club or organization and will be held to the same roster eligibility standards as other players. Total roster size can not exceed 25 players.
The only permitted roster modification after submission of the final roster will be the replacement of an injured goalie with another goalie pending a written request and WSYL approval.
Copies of birth certificates, proof of residency (report card from '16/'17 academic year & valid parent Driver's License), verification of health insurance accepted in the United States, and waiver forms, are all due:

No they're not
Yes they are. Moving the date to 7/1. Need to get Md. Pa Mass etc teams onboard.
This sport will continue to lose credibility as the rules continue to change to accommodate the cheaters. It will get to a point it's just not worth the money or safety risks. Soccer and hockey are birth year with photo ID. And football has same and weight restrictinnons. Level playing fields making skill and athleticism the winning factors.

Is it ok for a 5'7" 12 year old to plummet a 4'11" kid? There are plenty of huge 12 year olds. BTW the vast majority of so called hold-backs are between one & three months from the 9/1 cutoff date - how this 2 year gap got started is b s. The playing field will never, ever be equal.There will always be bigger,stronger,faster & more skilled players - you cannot keep changing rules to accommodate weaker players. Maybe you should look into a weight limit as they do in football.

Cmon guy -- there are always the exceptionally large boys in a given age. Maybe 5% of any given group. And most of them haven't "grown" into their body so they are not as coordinated. In lacrosse 50-60% of the boys are above the growth chart for their age????? - -- strange coincidence. Especially when you don't see it in other sports. And it's fairly well known -- and most parents are no longer embarrassed to admit they have held their son back once or twice and they are playing below their age group. For WSYL to keep sliding the dates back to accommodate more "older" boys, only widens the age gap to potentially a year and a half older. And many of the players are not weaker at all -- they are in fact more skilled, but faced with a large size/age disadvantage in a contact sport -- which they would not be in any other sport. You may actually have a valid point -- WSYL is changing the rules to accommodate the weaker players -- they are weaker in their own age bracket so they have to play down.

This poster is clueless. By using a 12 month window for game play, the amount of large, physically mature kids (when compared to their on age peers) is greatly diminished.
"There are plenty of huge 12 year olds." HA HA. No there are not. The large majority of 12 year olds are not huge, and of the few that are, most are a bit awkward and unathletic due to their size, and the fact that they are still only 12. The large majority of 12 year olds are well within a rather small parameter of height and weight. It is very rare that a 12 year old is the full package - tall, big, strong, fast, quick, athletic. But if you have 12 year olds play against 10 and 11 year olds, the amount of kids on the field who become dominant increases significantly. For instance, one of my kids is 12, and on age, he is very average athletically, size, strength, etc. Against 10 year olds, he would be a man-child beast who would score goals at will.
No one, and I mean no one, is looking to eliminate the rare kid who matures earlier and is tall, big, strong, fast, quick and athletic. The point is when kids play on age, such kids are rare. This is a classic straw man argument, and is an indicator that the proponents of such have no real argument.
The easiest way to determine that this poster is both clueless and without morals of any kind, and indeed a coward who wishes his kid play against younger kids, is that he (or she) thinks its perfectly ok to have kids play who are one and three months older than the Sept 1 cut off date. I find it funny that parents of older kids are the first to say to parents of younger kids "oh just suck it up", when they themselves refuse to have their own kids play against older kids. At least as far as NY teams are concerned, the large majority of players are born in the calendar year AFTER the Sept 1 cut off date. Yet this clown thinks its perfectly fine for a kid born Memorial Day 2004 to play against a team full of kids born in 2005 (many of whom are born well after Memorial Day 2005).
And notice how he says the "vast majority". This means that there are still kids playing who are even older than Memorial Day (full year ahead of their competition). And the amount of these yet older kids is not statistically irrelevant I am sure (meaning their are enough of them to affect the experience of their opponents). So the end result is you have a team with late 2003s and early 2004s playing against a team where nearly all kids are 2005, and spread out evenly through that later year. But yet if someone has a problem with this system than they are wrong.
Bottom line is that if you knowingly have your kid, year after year, play against kids significantly younger (more than a year younger) than him that it must be true that you believe your kid to be a [lacrosse]. No other conclusion can be drawn. The sad fact is your kid most likely is not a [lacrosse], and would perform fine against on age competition if you let him.

It is always hilarious to listen to the holdback apologists. The 2 year gap is in reference to the club teams playing in tourneys and local leagues during the year not the WSYL.
But since you mentioned it, I will explain the 2 year BS to you:
2022 player with a 9/2/03 bday is held back and plays against a 2023 player with a June, July, or August 2005 bday. Pretty damn close to 2 years don't you think? But looking at your post the on age 2023 kid is just a "weaker" player.
Look at all the contact sports:
Football - age and weight restrictions
Wrestling- age restriction and weight classes
Ice Hockey- age restriction
But somehow in youth lacrosse older kids should be allowed to deliberately play against younger kids so Daddy and Mommy can be proud of their little Johnny. Makes no sense
Well said! The US Lacrosse board could certainly benefit from someone like you!

In NY, a 9/2/03 birthdate would be a 2021 player. Holding him back a year would put him in 2022.
The 2 year holdback situation comes into play in Maryland, where the have an optional grade between kindergarten and first grade called "pre-first". Now, take that same 9/2/02 kid and hold him back before entering him into kindergarten. That 2021 is now a 2022. After that, choose to have him go to "pre-first" grade and he is now a 2023. We played several tournaments in Maryland where the parents told us the kids were 13 and turning 14 during the summer months. That's too much, and it's becoming common practice down there so that the top teams can be competitive with one another.
I love hearing from all the non-holdback parents who try to have their kids play at the AA level. As our kids run over your kids you cry about how unfair it is. Just stay in your pool and we shall stay in ours.
If you don't like the rules find a league for your little fella. My two sons are not only pre-first but September/October birthdays. In the next two years they will be held back. They will be two years older then your kids (at least). Avoid the Mainline.
Tell your kids life is hard and some people know how the system works. Your kid will learn from this and accept their station in life while my family dominates yours.
Now, get your shine box.

But since you mentioned it, I will explain the 2 year BS to you:
2022 player with a 9/2/03 bday is held back and plays against a 2023 player with a June, July, or August 2005 bday. Pretty damn close to 2 years don't you think? But looking at your post the on age 2023 kid is just a "weaker" player.
Look at all the contact sports:
Football - age and weight restrictions
Wrestling- age restriction and weight classes
Ice Hockey- age restriction
But somehow in youth lacrosse older kids should be allowed to deliberately play against younger kids so Daddy and Mommy can be proud of their little Johnny. Makes no sense

In NY, a 9/2/03 birthdate would be a 2021 player. Holding him back a year would put him in 2022.
The 2 year holdback situation comes into play in Maryland, where the have an optional grade between kindergarten and first grade called "pre-first". Now, take that same 9/2/02 kid and hold him back before entering him into kindergarten. That 2021 is now a 2022. After that, choose to have him go to "pre-first" grade and he is now a 2023. We played several tournaments in Maryland where the parents told us the kids were 13 and turning 14 during the summer months. That's too much, and it's becoming common practice down there so that the top teams can be competitive with one another.
I think the original poster was talking about an 8/04 birthday as opposed to a 9/04 birthday which is a one month differential - not exactly a tremendous advantage & certainly not two years But I get it -it's still cheating.

Do you think this makes your son a good player. He's just like you a non athletic loser. You sucked at sports so your trying to give your kid the advantage you desperately needed. He would get destroyed at his real age so your decide to keep him back so he can play against younger kids great job. You are pathetic and an embarrassment to fathers all around and unfortunately your kid will be just like you.

For now. But your still awfully bitter your big boys can't go to Denver - they get skipped over because of the rules. So there's a big outcry to change the rules to accommodate poor MD and MA student lifers. What a shame. A system you can't game!
Wow! Super loser! Your kid is either an athlete or not. Holding him back 2 years is not going to change that. It's not going to make him faster which is the most important thing in lax. 2 more years to burn him out! And let's not get into the psychological problems of being left behind! Unbelievable

Your kid should need to be semi-[lacrosse] to hold him back 2 years. Maybe more than semi... probably full [lacrosse].
I can't imagine your kid gains confidence over crushing kids two years younger than him. I imagine that catches up with him when he plays against kids his own age and can barely keep up

Wow, this thread is devolving fast. Got my popcorn ready.
Both boys have all "A"s. They should have perfect scores well above the rest of class, they are two years older than most of them.
You know nothing about me but I can assure you that if we played against each other in college you would say different things about my skill set. My kids were bigger and faster than most on age and now they just crush your kids. I would rather play lacrosse around here than go to Colorado to play teams from around here. Keep the trophy I will take the real winning.
I must admit I love hearing the cry of the defeated.
Now dance boy

You can go get the bucket for your tears when you and he realize your little Johhny was only "good" because he was competing against younger inferior players. When he gets to the real world, you know, like in a job situation, he won't be able to game the system anymore, and his false of superiority will come crashing down like a meteorite. And he can thank you for building up that false sense of confidence!
BTW, the game is changing - may not affect your kid, but for the younger ones, they won't have to worry about parents like you setting them up to be duped.

There are a lot of DBs in LI and you see it in some of the kids playing. For example, at a philly tourney team 91 number 66, I believe he was related to the coach, got an unsportsmanlike for swinging his stick at opponent. As he walked off the field he gave a double middle finger to players/ref. Real class act. He's not that good either.

If we played against each other in college or face each other in men's club the only thing I will say is "don't bother getting back up." You would rather play around here than go to CO. There are good master's league and open league games in CO but if you want to play here name the game.
Does anyone know anything about this Duke's Nationals team having tryouts at Hofstra?

You could be the biggest jerk off on BOTC which is saying a lot. Funny thing is you are a scrub you were never good and your kids suck. Ill take my on age kid anyday he will run circles around your dopey holdbacks. What a D-bag you are!!!!!

Here we go again. TB entered 3 legit tourneys & ended up with an overall record of 8W - 8L - hardly impressive. Top 5 please.
I am going to go out on limb. I think King DB is poking fun at the holdback supporters.

This guy has posted this on multiple forums.. obviously trying to bring attention to the organization. But to educate anyone who doesnt know about dukes, stay away- unless you like traveling hours for every team practice and tournament and enjoy watching your kid spend most of the game on the sideline as they bring in a handful of ringers from God knows where to ensure victory. On the plus side, you do collect an expansive wardrobe of dukes uniforms over a short period of time.

Today was 1st tryout date. Just because a kid is at tryouts doesn't mean he will be offered or accept a spot on the team. I know for a fact 3 starters from this year's team are testing the waters at other tryouts.

Same story every year. Yawn. If every player came back how do you have room for new players?
With new players coming over plus our returning players TB Willbe a strong strong AA top 5[/quote]

Saw some helmets of other teams today, and a few of them looked like it will help us significantly. Don't forget... Igloo, Express, and 91 place kids on on their second team to make them work harder for next year's tryouts. There is no shame in playing on a second team for the good of the child to develop, not the parent. All kids hit their A game at different ages. We're going to be really good with several solid additions who know how to play the game. What team is your son on, if you're not [lacrosse] enough to tell?
They should check out Express Hedstrom team. They did very well this year. Tryouts are August 7th and 9th. Solid team

On the plus side, you do collect an expansive wardrobe of dukes uniforms over a short period of time.
Sorry your son wasn't good enough to get on the field. It's a national all star team. The best kids play.
Don't recall stating that my kid didn't get play time, was stating a truth about the organization, sorry your too much of a jackass to understand that, as far as all star team, that's hilarious, they can't buy a victory at any credible tournament. The constantly changing roster is proof of their failed system

Too much Daddy Ball. Hopefully the Double Holdbacks will help the 2023 team like they did at the Duke's Nationals 2022 Team. Total money grab
If your not happy go to TB It's refreshing

Long Island rolling through at Warrior.
You should come down and check out all the express, 91 and igloo helmets at true blue

Not surprising. Everyone wants to play for a AAA team & a top notch organization. Just look at their past accomplishments & all the success they have achieved.

Advertised 14 regional teams, ended up with 4 in 2025, 4 in 2024, 6 in 2023, 5 in 2022, and 5 in 2021.
at least warrior was able to sell some more shty helmets, gloves and warps at $695 per player

Why is that always the response to things like this?
He's right. It's a joke. Only LI was invested in it because 91 ran it. MD didn't even field teams in most ages and the 2021 team is half 2022 kids because they didn't have enough for either age to have 2 teams.

As a parent whose kid participated in WAA Games, I thought it was a really awesome experience. The kids got more than what we paid for and the opportunity to play with kids they usually play against. It was amazing to see the mutual respect they had for each other as players and how well they just meshed with each other for the love of the game. I for one have no regrets.
Duke's is trying to recruit AA players from Long Island to come join their "national team". Why would any player in their right mind leave their Club team to go drive hours to practice once a month to be on a team that couldn't beat their local long island club team? Business model makes no sense. These guys are bozos.

Im sure all the parents enjoyed it, I mean for $695 you can call your son an all American. With that said, it was billed as 14 regional teams competing and fell well short in every division. Enjoy the gear.

Good for you
If Dukes Nationals is such a great program and is a "national" all star team, why don't they have any teams older than 2022? And don't fool yourself, DN is full of Daddyball. I sure hope kids don't leave their club teams and try to play for DN full time. They will be struggling to find a spot on a HS team when their time at DN ends in 8th grade. but at least their parents like the Dbag who made the comment about " a town participation trophy" can keep living vicariously through their kid' middle school years.

For an event in its first year, I have to say it was awesome. The team was great and the kids had a blast getting to know each other. They lost one game, oh well. They're not crying over it. The experience was incredible! The coaches could have very easily sat half of the team in the championship and went for the win, but they didn't. They kept playing everyone evenly so that the kids enjoyed the experience. Well done. Warrior did a great job, Dynamic did a great job, and UMass was the perfect facility to host! Regardless of the cost, my son enjoyed himself and my other kids had a great time and that makes it money well spent. There are plenty of money grab experiences out there, this was definitely not one.

If you're knocking it, obviously you weren't there. Parents and kids all enjoyed the experience. Get your kid on the wall and have him try out next year. It was well worth it. Maybe you should eat 3 less doughnuts a day and save that money. You'll be able to afford to give home a lifetime memory.
At warrior bandits/express 23 lost to a high school team from Maryland. Imagine number 16 raising his hand in his 6th grade class? Then drives away in a Hyundai

As a parent? Doubt you are a parent Why delete the negative part of this thread before posting then ?
If you are a parent to bad your son isn't allowed to play pickup games. 50-100 dollars your son can get the above mentioned experience. He won't be called an All Star though. The organization won't be able to get their cut.

Sorry sour grapes. You neglected to mention that LI beat midatltantice the day before. Same kids. Same tourney. Mid Atlantic had a good game plan and the kids played hard. That is life. And you know nothing about any of those boys, so stop acting like you do. Hope you didn't hit too much traffic on your ride home

You forgot to mention parents spending 100s of $$ and investing their personal time to take their optimistic youngster to a tournament only to have kids not on their coveted depth chart mysteriously show up and take away your kids play time, regardless of your kids skill level.

Sorry guy, you're not getting those boys together for a $50 pickup game. The whole experience was something my kid will remember. Your $50 will get your [lacrosse] pal team scrimmaging a 3rd grade team in your local park.

This is a second team ... not in place of your travel team. They are very aware that players have there committed travel team.
This is not a team- just ranked players from camp coming together to play "B" tournaments. If they played in "A" tournaments they wouldn't have a roster .

He learned that if you want something bad enough you have to work hard. I would not speak bad of either and knock those that made the teams. We hoped his friends won the tournaments. Listening to some of you on here it really blows my mind. No wonder your kids act the way they do. It's time to start acting like a grown up.

Better teams are always looking to upgrade. Usually have spots for 2 or 3 players.

Why were you shocked? If you think your are going to switch your son to another team at this age (at least a team in a top organization) he better have been asked to tryout or have been asked to a pre tryout camp otherwise slim to no chance..They would rather stick with what they have then an unknown...

Most of the Duke's tournaments overlap with the regular AA tournaments so that makes even less sense to play for your regular club in addition to this team. You are going to pay all this $ to drive to far away practices with a random roster knowing that you may be able to make 1 or 2 of the off season tournaments? Buyer beware. There may be a few desperados out there that won't be able to resist the allure of their kid playing for a self-proclaimed "national" team, but this team is not for anyone that already plays for a competitive club team.

Why were you shocked? If you think your are going to switch your son to another team at this age (at least a team in a top organization) he better have been asked to tryout or have been asked to a pre tryout camp otherwise slim to no chance..They would rather stick with what they have then an unknown... FACT
wrong. Not at Igloo. AA cut his mother.
Anyone know if Recon is looking to add to the roster or is it a money grab?
Good job Dad! Too bad others are not like that

Not a money grab at all, organization is run by the Jacobs, top notch organization.
TB should add, maybe they won't get trucked by BL next time.

Thank you
Yes BL beat us with half there team being older your right and Rising Sons beat us twice this year your correct but lost the first game by a goal and the second game by two goals, hardly say we were trucked. TB Midfield is there strongest position so no need for a shake up but thanks for looking to help.
Good luck to all next season...

Why is it that its ok for True Blue to always lose games by 1 or 2 goals, or the other team had older players, or the other team bought in players from another team, or they lost because they had to play 3 games in 90 degree weather ect...............
Always an excuse why they lost.

The only people who are moving teams are the kids that didn't play on their team last season.

I comment TB for getting out of their comfort zone and challenging themselves, however, the older kid excuse won't work. Most out of state teams are stacking with older kids now. Boston, PA, Maryland, etc.. all stacked teams. That's who you are going to play.
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.
