So to my knowledge (and please add or correct.) These are the clubs that fielded a 2025 team this past season. In no specific order. I tried to be helpful and give where I think the teams practice. This always seems to be a consideration when selecting a club to tryout for.

Bengals (Nassau)
Empire (Suffolk)
Express (Nassau and Western Suffolk)
Legacy (East Islip)
Team 91 (not sure)

Let's keep the thread informative and helpful for all.

Coaches are very important!!

Does anyone know who is coaching each team (if there any changes to existing 2025 teams), which will be a big part of the decision on which tryouts to attend?

Bengals
Legacy
Igloo
Outlaws

That's not correct. 2025 Igloo coach is Kevin Kemp. Very good coach. Nice guy. Great with kids. He did a few winter clinics my older son was in and they were great.

The attack on Orange 91 Never pass the ball! We played them and it was really hard to watch. Not to hard to score 3 goals a game if you Never pass the ball. Dad better wake up your boys future is limited with that play. But keep walking up and down the field with your Red Bull yelling at your son and telling everyone how good he is. Kid will be burned out by 5th grade.

Tryouts are 8 hours for 100 bucks. Can't beat that and if he is a good kid you never know. If syosset is close, you could try Bluefish

I thought Bluefish we're going out of Hofstra? Force practice out of farmingdale. vipers out of Bethpage. Plenty of choices.

you are such a loser. I'm so embarrassed for you. Some might say that a person that feels then need to bash someone else especially children is trying to compensate for their own inadequacy. YOU are probably an average father, an average employee, an average spouse, and if I had to guess you were a less than average athlete. Get a life. Your pathetic.

They didn't win any tournaments last year and they didn't play up. They registered as a 2025 team in weak tournaments knowing they had 2024's on the team.. That's cheating. They did the same thing with their 2021 team. Had 2020's on the team but played in 2021 brackets.

Bengals (Nassau)
Express (Nassau and Western Suffolk)
Legacy (East )

We will be trying out for Legacy, Hurricanes, and Hitmen. Doing my research and talking to a few other parents at tournaments this is what I heard:

Bengals - not a good program only had a few practices and basically what is posted above seems to hold true from the 8 or 9 parents I've spoken too. The guy I spoke to on the phone from the team was nice but did seem a little arrogant when I asked how he compared to other teams. For a 2nd year program that didn't do much I was expecting something a little more humble. Plus I asked about the pricing since it looked cheap compared to other teams, I was told that that is only for 10-15 practices for the year and that Fall and Winter are additional. The costs for both would bring it at or above even the big name teams.

Express - formed late in the year with kids mostly from the same area as the Benglas. When it started it was great but in the end they weren't given what they were promised and the coach screamed and cursed at the team. Not something I haven't seen before unfortunately but for 3rd graders too much I want my kid to have


Legacy-another big name I heard mixed things similar to that of Express and my personal experience


These are from my hours of research. I don't have personal experience with all the teams. What I do know is that when you hear the same things over and over from different people there is a good chance at least part of it is true. That's why my son will be going to Legacy. (In no particular order)

That's my $.02

They won the summer sunset. Check it out. The 2025 team had no older kids. All second graders. Get your facts correct. Check the rosters. Amazing what people will say. My kid was on team and your telling me they never won a tournament. It's amazing what people say on here. As far as 2021. All 6th graders again check it out. The girls team had 3/4 graders on it and they played 4th grade teams all year

They didn't win any tournaments last year and they didn't play up. They registered as a 2025 team in weak tournaments knowing they had 2024's on the team.. That's cheating. They did the same thing with their 2021 team. Had 2020's on the team but played in 2021 brackets.

They beat pal teams at summer sunset no good teams were there.

Also it can be proven they had kids play down on both teams. There's a reason everyone says it.....

Don't know if the Bengals had kids playing down but I do know the Hitmen had kids playing down on their 2025 team. Another embarrassing program.

Hitmen won an 8th grade division in 2 different tournaments with all 7th graders. Their 6th grade team did lose to the bengals but that bengals team had 8th graders playing in 6th grade division so what do you expect? With their 8th graders they only beat Hitmen 6th grade team by 2 goals.

As for 2025 looks like you might need to recheck the facts. I think you confused the bengals 2025 playing down and still getting beaten by the Hitmen...it sounds like they may be trying to deflect off themselves and spread false rumors. If you're talking about shootout for soldiers which is the tournament referenced above they were all 2025 except for 2 players who were 2024 but does it matter when they played a 2023 team so everyone was playing up anyway?

Unless it is totally an issue of travel convenience, why would either of these programs be a consideration? And if you don't want the travel commitment why not just supplement PAL with a camp or clinic or two and save your cash?

You guys are hilarious who talk lies and untruths as if they know facts. For people reading this board. Do not believe everything you read. Do your own research and call these programs. The most important thing any parent should be worried about is "who is coaching their kids". Stop chasing the bumper stickers. Most of these teams have college kids coaching. They might understand the game real well. However transferring that information to a child is a whole other ball game. If somebody's reading these boards and that's what you are basing your opinion on then shame on you

yes, unless they get 50-60 kids at tryouts which is doubtful. Winter training is all in Nassau and spring/summer will be at Kellenberg, NYIT or St Anthony's.

And word is that his team is already filled with a good number of kids who played for him this summer. These are not fully open tryouts.

Bad info buddy...100% open tryouts. Half of the summer team isn't even coming back.

And also, doesn't every returning kid from any team/program have a leg up on the new kids in tryouts? Yes, they usually do.

It's THIRD grade!! If your kid has skill and shows he's an athlete and coachable, most coaches would grab him. Mike O'Reilly is excellent with developing the little ones. There is plenty of room on that team. Not many kids at 3rd grade are ready for a travel team. Make sure your KID is (not YOU). They have to WANT to play.

Correct. The team only had 15 kids. There is plenty of opportunity to make the team. And you'll get a dedicated coach for the entire year who has a lot of experience teaching kids at this age level and he makes it fun. Also, makes sure all the kids play a fair amount.

at this age you would think the 2025 tryouts would be totally open. Considering the noted loyalty of this particular coach (and his kids parents it seems), it is apparent to me that many spots are already taken. I believe that these organizations have a responsibility to tell parents (and kids) what they are in for.

Little Johnnie needs to know if he got cut because he needs to work harder or if he didn't make it because other kids have undeniable connections.

Express summer team was open to anyone that signed up for his clinics. There was 15 kids from all over that paid an additional $500 to check it out. Most probably won't be back for this year

Don't know. Coach did a summer clinic and then they sent a flyer out for a summer team just to get something started. A few decent kids that I believe he already had and also some kids that were getting a taste of what it is about

I guess they have to start somewhere, maybe if they are good enough they will have the 2026 play up to fill out the team. The parents better be happy with skill building ahead of winning, because that attendance sounds like the team will not be strong right out of the box.

Not sure what peoples expectations are for numbers at a tryout but at 2nd and 3rd grade in middle of august any club will be lucky to have enough there to fill a team. Also, too many clubs now so the pool gets diluted further. All of these clubs even the big ones will have another round of tryouts in fall or winter. At a minimum will be adding kids. Even the A teams.

Hey, are we talking about Express? In the past they would have been over run with kids! Even two years ago the tryouts were packed. They are planning two teams but don't even have enough for 1. Not a great omen for the future

I just think parents are thinking twice before getting their kid into travel sports as earlier as some are. Even in ice hockey, they have the mite division, but many kids still play house teams until 4th, 5th or 6th grade. Travel sports demand a lot of time and effort from the whole family. If you have older kids playing travel, often times families have to split up and go to tournaments separately. If it is your oldest, you may have to travel to full day tournaments or on the road with babies and toddlers in tow. I do not think this has anything to do with Express, but more about the amount of money, time and commitment that is required by travel sports. Just think about the time and money that will be spent if you start your kid this early in travel and they play through high school. I think that is what a lot of families are thinking before they sign up for the younger teams and choose to wait it out a bit.

there's also a population dip for kids around this age due to recession. plus admit it - we're all nuts for letting our kids do this in elementary school. maybe more parents are pushing baseball if the table stakes of lax is spending $1000+ and 3-4 summer weekends starting in 3rd grade

Population dip? Kids were born in 2007, before the crash! And if my calendar works right, most were conceived in 2006, I know my boy was ... But that was a good try for an explanation. I'm going for the too many teams argument!

Still crazy!!! Pay the PAL fee, keep your kids in town until at least 5th grade. It makes no sense paying the time and money toll on the families. My cheap 2 cents.

PAL is not good, period. Too many kids who can't catch and throw. Don't be cheap, you get what you pay for.

Clinics & PAL is a good choice too. Make sure you get a coach that clicks with your son, corrects him & makes him love the game. Those are the key ingredients at this age. If you can get that thru clinics & PAL, skip the club for now.

What do you expect, people to actually coach kids , when there kid isn't playing. People have jobs and lives. I don't know any PAL team in any sport where someone just volunteers with no child on the team.

There is a difference between coaching teams the right way. If your son doesn't belong in a certain spot or deserve to start than as a coach you need to realize that and keep it fair. To many kids are out there over another kid because dad thinks he one day will step up. Not fair to the kid that works harder and deserves the spot. Everybody sees it except the dad coach and that is embarrassing and sad.

Hey at least these "daddy coaches" step up and coach, for free mind you. There wouldn't be a $100 per kid PAL team without these guys. Don't like it, don't put your kid on the team. No need to bash people who are investing time in other peoples' kids who do so on top of their own busy schedules.

Thats nice that you do that, but between work, family, my own 3 kids numerous sports. To find 3 days a week to v olunteer coaching other kids would be impossible. I don't know anybody who does that. That's one really nice town you live in.

It's usually guys who played & don't have kids yet or those who's kids are grown or those who's kids don't play lax but the dad loves the sport. I guess we are lucky because we have a bunch. I've been lucky to be on a few of those teams. My other boy got the shaft with the daddy coach who only played his son & his friends. In that situation, put them in clinics.

Don't think so...not easy to do all of those personal calls and spend time with each family. Classy way to do it, but painfully long to get done.

not to mention some kids are deciding between multiple teams so they have to give them some decide. They mentioned at tryouts that it could go on till the end of the week.

True Blue just put together a 2025 team. Looks like Gordon Purdy from Addlphi is going to be coaching them, reasonably priced @$900 for the year, I think they are doing a last call tryout in the next week or so.

It makes sense since Purdie is tight with TB director but what happened to Sharks? If he didn't have time for that program how would he make time for True Blue? Isn't he also coaching the Australian team? Just looking for some insight since we have twins at 2025...

No real shock there. he put his name on the team for tryouts and bailed when he realized they weren't going to be the Bandits. Sounds like JS to me.

I could be wrong, but he and I have a mutual friend who told me. Between 2023 Bandits, 2020 Crush, Stony Brook, Lizards and 2025 Yellow Jackets he is spread too thin. His daughter will likely be playing on the YJ girls team instead.

Whatever time the team gets from Coach Spallina will be valuable time and the organization will want their team to win. Coach Rooney is no Rookie and has a proven track record. Plus, his son will be on the team. I for one am pleased with this arrangement for my boy. I would say you will be able to judge the success of the staff by the improvement of the boys skills and their level of team play.

If they play as a team and move the ball, then the results will be there for all of us to see.

Third grade now, so they were coming off of 1 season of competitive play. And they got "mauled"?! Seriously? Maybe there was a big birthday party the night before.

Sorry you are such a bitter man but they did beat Empire and 91 white who both played all season last year. Express started in June, kept the cost low and still played 2 summer tourneys. Let me guess, your little Johnny was 3 string attack on the Geese, or was it Orange?

That's it they didn't play a season like legacy or 91. They played one tourney with an invite only team and weren't ready. So.....would put them with all the orgs with first time teams this year.

Wrong again...June Start, 2x Tourneys (Lax Clash and Lax 4 BackPax) and 1x scrimmage (Geese) and about 15 practices. All for half the price that the other teams charges. We know you hate the coach but at least get your facts straight.

I knew this was a good place to stop by for a laugh. Some really angry people on this board.

The Express v 91 Orange game was a great game to watch. Real nail bitter. Ended with a sick save by the '91 goalie man down in the last minute. All lacrosse games should be that exciting. I think both teams will be looking forward to a rematch.

my third grader picks up ground balls and then hustles to open space just like he is taught, then he sees a choo choo train go by and drops the ball and runs to look at the train. he is getting there, we are very proud of the way he is still amazed by choo choo trains and firetrucks and sometimes airplanes. Hurts his goals scored stats, but I am sure his college coach will understand with a little explaining when he asks "what happened in 3rd grade?"

Bandits played in the 2023 group on Saturday. They played the 91 Warriors in the finals. Crush didn't play.

You know this is the 3rd grade forum? I mean, this is the place people are supposed to talk about 8 year old boys playing travel lacrosse. That is it's purpose. You're here trolling the forum so what does that make you exactly? Since you must not have a 3rd grader. Maybe you're a pedophile who likes to read about little boys? Creepy. Sorry for out-ing you. Don't get upset, just move on to another forum and bother them. Or you can blab some more and continue to look like an idiot. Your choice of course. I don't expect you'll go away, idiots rarely make good choices. I expect you'll prove that soon enough.

spoken like a true travel team director...ok, you win...I am the creepy troll...feel better?...I wish only good things for your 8 yr old son....I hope when he realizes that has father , who never touched a lax stick in his life, and who is the guy standing on sidelines yelling at the top of his lungs during the game, is a dbag, the creeps will have the last laugh...keep writing those travel checks for little Anthony as the coach tells him that he really has what it takes to play college ....tool

I still don't know what that guy talking about choo choos and airplanes is talking about. My son is 8, I don't think he used the word choo choo since he was 3. He has for 5 years been using the word TRAIN.If your son is using the word choo choo, and he is on a 3rd geade lacrosse team, I agree he should be doing more homework. Alot more homework.

Told you all they would not lose! There is a reputation to maintain!


and that is the reputation of being a jacka$$ unsportsmanlike D-bag cheating coach who plays kids down when any of their orange teams need to win ? Yeah, sounds like the 91 reputation will continue. Great job.


Suck it!


Truth hurts doesn't it 91 daddy.


Doesn't hurt a bit because it just isn't true. Say what you want, but just because you write it here anonymously doesn't make it true. Just keep up with your gutless lies. They amuse me.

If that Choo, choo story is even close to true, his kid probably needs to go for serious occupational/speech/physical therapy. Let's hope he is just a troll.

I think the point was that they are kids playing a game and could change direction at any moment. Choice of words was probably to show they are closer to babies then to grown ups. I thought it was a funny post and can see my very smart child sitting down to play monopoly, usually lasts 15 minutes before we are on to something else.

My son is a returning player on Orange and I would just like to say that you people are pathetic.
I stumbled upon this site while searching for an upcoming tournament schedule.
The new and returning players, parents And Coaches were amazing this weekend. We stood Next to our opponents cheering both teams on enjoying watching our boys play.
I am disgusted at some of the lies written on here. Get a life people. These kids are 8 and this supposed to be fun. My husband and I are damn proud that our son is playing Along side such an amazing group of boys.
How dare you critique the way 7 year olds played last season with such animosity?!
They. Were. 7.
And as for as your rant on the "Commack Dads" one is nicer then the next.
I pity your wife and children having to live with such a pompous [lacrosse].

Well my kid might do that when playing monopoly (IT'S BORING DAD!) but he can lax for most of the day with focus. That tells me he is ready, maybe it is not the norm, but we believe that knowing our son is part of being a parent.
It is clear that not all are ready but those that are should absolutely be able to play. Hey look, there is travel in every sport at this age. Lacrosse is not more nuts than the other sports.
