Getting good info from here can be tough. Here's is my advice based on my guy just finishing 2nd grade

1) if a club won't return your calls or gives you little info. Move on
2) make sure exactly what your getting is spelled out.
3) ask lots of questions (practice locations, coaches). If they don't return your call or have no answers. Move on
4) just because a plastic surgeon has the nicest office doesn't mean he's the best surgeon. You get my point
5) people may disagree but where practices are and where the parents are from makes a big deal if you both work. If the practice is in syosset, most of the parents live in cold spring harbor and you live in port Jefferson, your screwed
6) due to the fact that many clubs are popping competition is good. Don't settle

Maybe because A team vs B team at the 2026 means absolutely nothing....zero at this age. They're still learning the game at this age. If you want to argue why spend 2000 bucks on travel at this age then maybe a point can be made there.

All fair points but most of the time the A team has the better coach. At this level its all about the coaching. Not sure why you would play over 2000 bucks and not get the best coach .

Empire: Had between 30-35 kids at each of the 2 TO's for 2026. Apparently they had another 15 or so 2027 as well. Originally we were told that they would have a straight 2026 and a blended 2026/2027 with the 2026 kids that didn't make the cut playing with the blended squad. Found out tonight that idea was scrapped and they would have a "K-3 Futures" squad for the 2026 kids that didn't make the cut and any other younger kids. all told, 24 made the roster for 2026.

Mamas Boyz: Had about 30+ or so each of the 2 TO's fro both 2025 & 2026 (no idea how many were of which, but assuming its a fairly even split). Not sure what the plan is there, but rumors were that they would keep the grades together and field an "A" and "B" squad of blended 2025/2026. Last TO was tonight (8/29) so should find out next week.

as it was explained to me they decided the balance of the kids were not "tournament ready". No, they will not have a 2027 team, they will have a K-3 "Futures" program where the kids get a uniform and 10 fall practices + 20 spring/summer practices for half the price

At that age I would suggest a PAL team or town travel team. Let the kid be a kid before you enter him into this insane world of travel lax ruled/judged by the crazy parents.

It could be. All shafts and Heads are different, best thing is to just try in out first. If you have extra I would not cut a good shaft.

Agreed. Girls shafts are thinner and it likely won't fit. But hey, you can try anything and in this case lose nothing by trying.

Just buy a cheap girls shaft, you can get them pretty cheap and it's easier for your girl to use being that it is a bit narrower.

Both my kids have the Under Armor shoulder pads and like them. They're light and comfortable with good protection.

I was there as well. I wouldn't say "they were both not good". First off they are 9year olds. To tell a 9 year old they are not good is just cruel. The skill level between 9one, Igloo A and Xpress A was above the rest of the teams. Both teams looked good. It amazes me some times the skill these kids have. I could hardly cradle at this age. LOL Igloo, Dire Wolves (A team) I think the name was had a huge kid. He was a beast. Good stick skills and would barrel down the middle when my sons team played them. But all around it was a well run tournament. Wish the weather was a little nicer. My son LOVED the skills competition. That was a great touch

Are you sure you don't want to rethink the team name? It is an extinct animal.

"The dire wolf (Canis dirus, "fearsome dog") is an extinct carnivorous mammal of the genus Canis, roughly the size of the extant gray wolf, but with a heavier build"

Who is Lavey? He's the coach that left his team after their first game and wasn't there for the playoff or championship games. Lavey DID NOT win....that group of boys WON! Congrats to them and the asst. coaches who stepped up and coached two great games.

Just happy the cheating Texans went home empty handed. Legacy boys played their hearts out and and got a well deserved win.

My son played them this past weekend. I thought for the age they were decent. They had a few that were clearly above the rest. But I think at this age that's a given.

I think going into 4th grade you have many options. Im sure you'll hear bad things about every team out there. I tend not to listen to advice on here as everyone is out to get someone. A good coach is a MUST at this age. Skills will come as they grow. In my opinion Legacy, Empire and Express have great programs at this age

Shore to shore is adding younger teams, may be worth looking at for Nassau based club.

Look for a team that allows your son to grow as an athlete from year to year. Wins and losses in club ball are meaningless that's why the prize is a shirt. Make sure the Coaching staff is good and age appropriate some great coaches can't coach kids. If your not happy with a program leave that one and go to another there are tons just look at the amount of tryouts. Make sure the parents on the sidelines are good people because you will be spending a ton of time with them. If your kid is a middle of the road kid he may be replaced and that is ok every kid progresses and grows at a different rate it's not the end of the world.

The 2023 shore 2shore team is excellent. They compete with all the AA teams. They had 5/6 kids on The Long Island Brine team that just won in Richmond. I have to imagine they will be trying to develop competitive teams for the other age groups as well. Def a legit option for Nassau kids.

They played in the AA bracket bracket at NLF. My older son played against them. They are a very good team.

The Express coach they use for the younger kids is great at developing kids. May be spread too thin but excellent at developing at a young age.
