BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums Active Threads This Week

Rebels quietly amassing a very competitive/dominant team while 91 and Express continue to take $ from its starstruck parents raising tuition to cover all the scholarships handed out to give to outside players taking spots of loyal players. Igloo on the way down even if they merge with Legacy. Maybe add Moose and make it a trifecta merger.

BOTC needs a like button. Hop off Surge. Good team, great people and can’t wait to see how they continue to thrive over the next few years.

I’m a reclass FLY IN parent. Yup they did.

A lot of @ChillLaxin talking in this group. Have your kid get better so you don’t have to keyboard cowboy about children. Cause ultimately that’s what we are talking about. Babies.

Me too!

S2S

Rebels also added 3-4 VERY good ones.

Glorious. #1 program in the area regardless of rankings.

Surge dad- no venom parent said this. We are a program and move kids back and forth as deserved. Coaching is not matched. And more important we have team atmospheres that many other clubs lack. Don’t by into the bs on here. You’ve seen our boys in both directions cheering for the other team at tourneys

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.
