Surge parent here. Definitely NOT the case, and honestly very sad to hear that the venom parents would say this. We should be one club supporting each other. My son is not from hills and most of the team is definitely not from hills. The boys who are from hills deserve to be there and yes, like MANY OTHER TEAMS on LI who have a HS coach also coaching club teams (or daddy ball where a friend gets to play more than they maybe deserve), they like to stick with the coach who will also coach them at the HS level where it truly matters.

Also one venom pole went to surge.

How so? Have you seen the number of commits. Wins and losses don’t matter

Where did chucks goalie go? Let go by venom, let go by chucks

There is a real unhealthy obsession with certain teams, particularly surge. They are a good team for a second team. A very good second team actually. And I know nothing about the coaches but they constantly put them in tough tournaments. That’s great for development.

Express 2029’s has three former 2028’s on its roster.

FCA doesn't play in July. 3 tournaments and they are done.

I would think an OT goal in the championship game would be “best win of the tournament”

Venom pole went to ece, venom attack/mid went to legrush, venom pole undecided

Calling it early
Venom
Leg rush
Chucks

Multiple Venom kids are reclassing. Another year and that Chaos attack situation will look quite different. That’s been common knowledge for awhile now. If you were a prospective parent with a child being approached by 91, you would probably take that into account before committing to them. In fact, any player looking to go to 91 or Express should do their homework on the kids from the ‘28 teams. 91 was hardly the only team poaching this year. I’ve seen this in 2 or 3 posts now about them poaching, like they are the only ones. Express took the cake this year, giving free club tuition and high school perks.

Express upgraded offensively??

Rebels lost one player, not sure how out of contention they are, but this next season will show.

Bashing must be coming from Chaos. Their attack other than X is very suspect. Righty if open has quick wrists and dangerous but typically not against top poles who smother him due to lack of speed and agility. Lefty attack being protected by daddy ball. Wouldn’t play close to the minutes he does on any of the top LI teams and definitely wouldn’t start. Reality will hit them hard soon. 91 begging for players and trying to poach with promises of starting and free rides. Continue to bolster defense which didn’t need bolstering. Those defenders and parents must be so happy that team remained loyal - Ha! Fly-ins coming soon to challenge reclasses of Xpress.

Well said! How about we respectfully move on from Surge?

They’ll be fine! Good core of players and kids will continue to grow physically and get better.

Any updates on LegRush? S2S new roster? Heard Venom has 8/9 poles now? Also hearing express upgraded offensively after losing 2 good players and moved some pieces around with E North as well. Seems like upfraded/Venom will hold 1 & 2 spots on the island still.

I am an Express parent and I met the right attack parents that came over from Surge at tryouts. They said nothing but nice things about the coaches,kids and parents so doesn’t seem like they thought they were better. You are allowed to want more for your kid, isn’t that parenting?Their kid made Chucks Black not Orange and from what I saw deserved to,he’s good. Also heard the LSM went to Venom. So looks to me like Surge is developing good talent and the kids are simply moving on. That’s a compliment to Surge.

You don’t need your kid coached by him to have eyeballs and determine nasty behavior. And those top kids probably have a story or 2 to tell as well. If you’re defending that hope you’ve started saving for therapy! Yelling,”You $u!&!” Isn’t actually developmental.

I would agree, posting on your child is a bad look. I would also agree that top 3 World Series has no value. Also based on current knowledge, there is a better righty attack on Express 29, reclass, but the player is very good. The left attack from igloo is also very good, so they have a very strong front 3. They are a couple years away from when it matters, but think these 3 will be very good at that point.

Where did the middy come from ?

Surge lost some talent, but sometimes that talent can be more of a problem. In this case the players and parents thought they were better than the team. And when that is the case, it is time to move on. If those players were so good, why did they land on Shore and Express Orange? Maybe they aren’t as a good as they think? Time to look in the mirror.

Igloo def better off overall, dropping the coach was a huge help in retaining talent.

Cardinal sin, commenting on your own child. This guy prob runs his kids Insta account. News flash, WS all star team means nothing. Top attack from previous World Series are no longer top. WS is not an indicator of your sons future ability nor does it deem him an automatic UNC commit as your top 3 would suggest. Let’s slow down, make your kid better and come back here in 3 years when he's lucky to be top 250.

When people take shots at coaches it is clear they have no idea what they are talking about. Unless your son has been coached by that person, please dont make a comment. The Hills coach is excellent, and has developed some of the top players in the country. No your stuff before you blast someone on here.

[quote=Anonymous]Surge has a few Hills kids, not many. It’s not any different than any other team. Venom has more kids from Massapequa than Surge has Hills. Nothing wrong with that. Surge has a strong group of players and they will compete with Northman, S2S, Orange, LegRush. They only lost to Chucks by a goal. They also have one of the best coaches on the island. He is one of the few who cares and makes every attempt to make your kid better. So be careful what you say, Surge will make you pay.[/

If you didn’t win.You lost! Sounds like a Surge parent who’s drinking the 91 kool aid. Rise and shine it’s the B team! Your coach is also well known and it ain’t for developing players.

I have nothing but respect for surge honestly. But they did lose some good players this week. Just saying
