US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025- 4th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

Or maybe those pathetic excuses for teams that played Saturday. Mind boggling how they can even except a money from somebody for the product they produced and put on the field. Joke. Oh wait it's a business it's not about the kids having fun.

It's not about kids having fun, that's funny. It must be so much fun to beat teams not on your teams loaded up level, and it must have been great fun for the dirtbag who posted first about complete domination. Oh wait, that disgusting slob was surely a sandbagging SYAG piece of trash.
I guess you'll be changing the team name again and collecting another 60 bucks so you can be laxing at NLF and then again at the 'Fest. If you play it right, and if the boys have any balls, you can seek out a challenge and earn another shot at Express or the Nuts. Um nope.
Better yet I'm sure we can all find you at Fosberg or Gallagher, ahem, ahem, ahem dominating. There are plenty of B and town teams to play there.

Wow. Someone is very bitter about losing to a pickup team. Obviously you're spending way too much money on your kid's team and this loss to SYAG and help is really eating at you. Well don't worry, your son probably won't be playing lax too much longer.

Wow you seem so angry , it's ten yr old lacrosse buddy take a zanex and have some ice cream with your kid!

Hey I'd love him to play for a team like that. My only critique is that some players on that team never learned how to pass. Easy to look great when you're the only one shooting. And YES the business aspect of youth lacrosse is sickening, ruins the kids love of the sport and wastes everyone's time.

Enjoy the shirts. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Scum.

My sons team played in that tourney. SYAG didn't cheat as it was a travel tourney. Granted they shouldn't have entered as they were advanced talent wise but they didn't cheat. I think the outlaws are the cheaters. Combining 4th and 5th graders for a 4th grade division???? Very weak move. They have plenty 4th graders to make 1 team.

It's $55 buddy get the price right. And you are correct about us not playing express or deez nuts because we happen to have kids on our team that play for express and deez nuts (aka Blast/geese mix). The Lax world is very small on LI, and as you can see the talent level for 2025 at this moment is not very high. This past Saturday's tournament proved that. It just so happens all the kids with talent happen to stick and play together, I guess this a bad things in your eyes but if it makes our kids happy to play with their friends on their down time then so be it. And you are wrong about the Fosberg or Gallagher, we wouldn't waste our time with even traveling to those events, we will save that slop for you to clean up. Personally I don't know if our beat up wagons and pickups would make it that far. So get over it, and maybe you should pop another zanex, the first one is not working.

There is no winners in JDRF but True Blue dominated everyone as they should have. First tourney of the year for them so it was a good warm up.

Where they playing this weekend?

Why do people post asking where certain teams are playing on any given weekend??! Many travel teams have their teams' tournament schedules posted online for anyone who cares to look . . . are you just lazy or trying to make a point??

Andy Forsberg and then Lax Fest.

ouch!

Did you stub your toe?

Sorry, I guess some of us are not stalkers like you, oh wait you just more educated and know how to use a computerrr.. Its called conversation sir, try it sometime instead of stalking 9 year olds creepo.

Anyone know any teams playing in fl$'s Spring Shootout this weekend? I know all the top teams will be at the NFL Series.

I guess you didn't get the subtle punch to the true blue ego, so let me take it step by step for you.
step 1- poster clamps about how dominant TB was this weekend on an attempt to position them as a top team in this age group
step 2- poster asks where they are playing this weekend (presumably bc he knows all top teams are in NLF this weekend, not Forsberg where TB will be)
step 3- poster understood the joke
step 4- poster didn't get it

True Blue is a joke, Cat is WAY overrated...

Ah - creeping on BOTC is not actually stalking, but going to an organization's website is - got it! You're the one who asked the question - I pointed you to where you could answer your own question, so:

1. I neither wanted to nor stalked anyone
2. My first point proved true: you're lazy and, additionally, you are a stalker but don't want to to look like one.

Problem with your 4 step program is True Blue doesn't have an ego. True Blue played against teams they should beat as they work out lines and positions. They will use this weeks tourney to further that and then will be at Lax Fest to play whoever they are matched up against.

Unlike many of these other teams True Blue is made up of multi sport athletes that play 3,4 or 5 other sports and they don't practice 100 days a year. So we use these tourneys to work up to better and harder tourneys. But again I forgot your 10yr old lax specialist just got that $10 scholarship to Quinnipiac so it's all worth it.

Well who did these multi sport athletes play and beat this weekend? Or if posted on a website please post the link so I can look it up so the 4 step stalker does not get pissed and decide to give us another lesson on how to a be successful creeper.

Funny, because these insipid 'pequa brats DO practice year round.. that's the sad part. They're doing shooting clinics at Burns on weekend mornings, fall clinics at the H.S. and winter clinics at the indoor facility in Massapequa. Nice try, but again another Massapequa lawnmower dad thinking their kids's something special. Bottom line is True Blue never plays decent competition. They play the easy team so they can say they won and feel good - like most "Pequa youth sports.

Lol. Warm up for what? Is the team in super Series, Lax Fest and/or NLF? If not, don't bother warming up, the team can dominate B teams. Go play there and then come back with your claim of beimg "dominate"

Not sure your understanding the dominant claim. True Blue dominated because there weren't top tier teams. Hence why it was stated as they should have been dominant . Not saying we deserve to take the belt away from the most recent head of the 4 families (Express) without playing them. Just relax yourself.. We will be at Lax Fest as previously stated so we will see what we have there. No claims of dominance. If we win we win if we lose we lose.. Then off to another game , sport or tourney...

For one you sound like a disgruntled dad from Pequa that kid may be a second tier athlete. Or maybe one that decided I need to jump on another team and join the coaching staff away from his friends just to try and win something. How else would you know every last detail of what massapequa brats do.. Now who's the stalker or better yet loser..

We must be doing something right. Playing for county and Long Island championships almost every year in every sport..

But if bashing pequa makes you feel good then have at it. We will just continue to win win win when it counts.. But in 6-7 years you can show everyone the tees shirts your kids won when they were 9 and 10.. Will be perfect for your wife as a half shirt working at 7-11. Oh yeah we can give you all our champion tee shirts too if you run out..

Not disgruntled at all. For your sake, i hope your boy is included when no sleeves fedora and his mafioso enforcer buddy start up the neon clown show next year.

Ummmm ok. Is that response from your 10 yr old son or you.

Give me your address and I'll mail you a t-shirt.its obviously high on your priority list.

The sandbagging scum from Sachem (plus) have a bunch of shirts. That is just fantastic, now they can avoid a big buy at Goodwill

You sound like an angry elf.

Honest question, for an average but improving player....
Is it better to be with a top organization on a B team or a smaller organization on their A team?

Depends on the coach. Go where they work the most and demand the most. That mostly means find an A team, but you have to do your homework. And that homework doesn't get done asking here, you have to get out there and go see for yourself.

It always boils down to the coach. Find out who the coaches are and ask to go watch a practice. Also, find out how often they practice.

Top organization B teams are a waste. Look at 91 Ice or Legacy Blue Devils. Both teams can easily be beaten by a solid town team. What I did for my son is put him on a solid B team where he gets ample playing time. Coaching and reps are key imo. Hope this helps.

With out question A team on smaller organization.

whichever team will give more playing time....that's how you get better

The coach., the coach, the coach, and his commitment, ask the Ice parents. The better B teams at this age are the Outlaws, Express, Blue Devils and Ducks.

It depends Many of the smaller teams don't do much during the fall and winter. They start practicing when the weather gets nice enough to get outside and that's usually just a few weeks before the first tourney. The bigger clubs definitely offer much better off-season training options for their A and B teams. The problem is that unless the team buys into the plan to stay together and get better, instead of chasing the A team, there will be no continuity. The 91 B teams (Ambush 2021, United 2022, Warriors 2023) are all very strong teams. Express B teams are also strong at those same grade levels. That's likely in large part due to the coaches and the resources the club puts into the team. At this age, there really are no decent B teams for the big clubs so you would need to be diligent in your research.

See if you can get on blast they are a pretty good B team.

Thanks all for your input....appreciate it
