If it is, that's a crazy coaching staff for 3 rd graders. The Legacy team was very good last year.

Maybe one of them should try coaching the 2021 teams.

The problem with these Travel teams is that the Parents lobby to get their kid on the team instead of letting the kid earn the spot. My older son plays for a legit program for the last 5 years and I've seen a steady move where the parent calls the coach "complaining or lobbying" to get their kid on the team when he clearly wasn't good enough to make it. You know who you are. Then all you hear on these boards is how my son didn't get a lot of playing time or a chance to show what he has. Or the coaches aren't being fair. What ever happened to letting a kid earn what he deserves. Stop getting in the way by being "that" parent and expecting your kid to get the playing time or respect he didn't deserve in the first place. Wake up! I have a little one going into 2025 now, lets see if this continues.

well its interesting to see high school coaches who will work with travel programs, but never go to PAL practices or run clinics. Are they trying to build their town program or build up the $$$ in their pockets.

Maybe your kid isn't good enough and gets out hustled, maybe "that" parent has out hustled you too!

FYI My kid starts on the A team. Put your guns away tough guy. I was waiting for the first reply to this post. You are definitely one of those parents that makes the calls. Don't worry little johnny will get his jersey so you can run around and tell everyone he made the team. YOU ARE WEAK

Those calls may work for this year or next but will be a disservice for the rest of their life. Let them earn the spot. Let them learn life is not fair. Nepotism and cronyism exist in every facet of life. Their ability to overcome will help them far beyond lacrosse.

Yeah right, he starts on the A team (sure he does) and i'm sure the other kids who' have parents call up behind your back are keeping YOU from getting a fair look from Petro. Too funny.

I'm weak, really? You hate on the other parents of your team and then me. You must be great at the team picnic.

There is only one problem, my kid does his own thing so it is his own so it his HIS success, you blame others. And your 2025 plays too (A team is a lock) so that guarantees us so many more years of you whining, just fantastic!

Found a Tiger website for a Northport based travel program with him and they talked about having players play local and away from travel teams.

I am a high school coach and the new owner of Long Island bengals. I do work with the pal. I was one of the coaches for the pal teams. I do run those practices and am involved. It's not always about the $$$$. Pal is a different experience. There is value in playing for you own town in pal. But there is value also for the more experienced player in playing travel and playing against Better competition. Please do not lump every travel program together. But when people coach the private leagues. They should be fairly compensated for their time. If you have a leak in your pipes and call a plumber. Should he be expected to work for free?

Well stated. There is value in both town/pal & travel programs.

Travel programs = business. Some are better values than others. But all of the people running these programs should be compensated.

Based on last year's poor attempt and mostly 2/3 grade brackets at tourney's, they better or they will lose every game again. Not fun for any of the kids!

but i guess that might mean less money. Hmmmm

I don't think that's true. The coaching was horrendous! Those boys didn't have a chance. If they have a better, more committed coach that put some time and effort into that team, that team would have had much better results. I will say this though, if any club emailed me informing me ts the roster would have 30- 8 year olds on it.... I wouldn't even give them the courtesy of a response. I would hit DELETE and figure out plan B.

Took my son to that LIT Blue Shark tryout (2023/2024) and was very impressed with the program. We are hoping to be a part of this new first year age group and grow withe the coaches and other boys and parents for years to come. They had a great turnout considering it's a new team. One of the directors told me they were just a few players away from competing the roster. Hope some of you will come down this Saturday to see what they are all about. It would be nice to have a fresh start with a club that is all about development .

They are still trying to get enough to field both. Apparently the tryouts did not yield enough. Feeling they may try another day after 91 is done.

About 40 boys at the 91 tryout. Wolfpack parents talking about how they are likely taking the roster down in size.
