Dukes concept of National team is good. The execution is where it falls apart. You can NOT have a National team with Dad coaches.

Seriously? The coaching, execution, and enthusiasm doesn't get any better. They say its nor for every kid... I guess they should add its not for every parent.

Yeah I hear ya, like when I took my son to the brine national tryouts and they were supposed to have their own coaches. 1, they had local coaches. 2, they combined 7th and 8th, and they did not say that in the E-mail. And 3, they took all the 8th graders, it seemed like the had the team picked in the first ten miniutes.

2022 events are money grabs for this year.

Even the most ambitious coaches aren't going to verbally commit to a 2022 until summer of 2018.

The coaches were from different schools on the island, one of the kids father's that my son plays travel new them. It was well worth the money to me for the amount they played. But I know from the kids that tryout red out from our school to the kids from our travel club, they picked the biggest 8th grade kids.

If the teams are picked for the Brine National Teams, why are they doing a second tryout? Two teams and is it a waste to go back for the 2nd tryout if you didn't get a "no thank you" email?

Last year several LI kids missed the LI tryout, so they went to the MD tryout and participated for Team MD.

The LI kids did not miss the LI tryout. They didn't make the team,so they played out of state.

My kid played for Long Island. I was there. You are wrong in your statement. Some of those kids were not able to go to the tryout. End of discussion.

12 and 13 years olds?? It might be to late for many at this point! If you are not on a top team or have at least gone to 4-5 top future prospects camp, might be time to take up baseball.

It will be a good day when recruiting gets to 7th grade level. This 9th grade recruiting is for the birds!

It's not about how many. Peaple choose to put up with it to be on the team and won't confront the issue. That's their choice, not mine. I kinda like watching my kid play sports, not stand around.

Me too. They play a lot of different teams. I would see my kid actually play them rather them be on the team and watch. Only 10 players out at a time. What happens when your kid is the 40th player? You should leave and stop trying to be somewhere your clearly not wanted other than a pay check.

4 kids have left 91 for Express. Question is why are they leaving and why is express taking them?

Why would they go to Express?
I know when they get a new coach who brings kids there, they get a free club fee, but why the others?

I think they are trying to set a record with the first 40 man travel roster. To each his own.

I do not get why someone would send their kid to a team with a roster of 40 kids. Just seems odd.

Do the math, even if each player was a double A player, there's not enough minutes in the game. Parents have to decide if they want their son on the bench of the greatest team, or playing and developing on a team that may not be the best.

One big issue in this as that there is no discount for being on the 2nd team and there is usually not equal treatment between the two. So people who don't who have A level kids yet, but want the practice and commitment of the top team will digest being on the top team and endure no playing time and dense rosters.

What is the purpose? To say your on a team and not play. To be on the team means playing on the team. If your on one of those teams and your child doesn't play that is pretty sad.

While game play is certainly an important aspect of player development, so is coaching, practice and training, team comradery and the overall experience. Hard work, determination, attitude are what will be a life skills and those that are committed to the game will improve and compete at the highest level, in club and in school ball. Additionally, high school and college lacrosse preperation and placement plays a big part of the process. Naturally, people should do what they feel is best for their child and what the kids enjoy doing.

Is there equal treatment between the starters and players 30-40 at practice? If so, no one is getting the reps they could otherwise get with a 21-24 kid roster? If not, why not play down or on a different team.
