Almost every kid on the turtles has been on a different team each year or so.Not saying they will crumble but the coaches have their work cut out for them. Most of those parents by the end of the year won’t be happy with something and will be looking to move AGAIN where the grass is greener.lol Good luck to the kids and coaches!
Coach, you're a fake. Just get over your ego. Before tryouts you and your over baked leather skinned side kick mom attempted to convince several of the families you are trashing to come play for you. Luckily, they turned you down.Families are free to go where ever they feel necessary, and you have no control over it. Maybe you should sped more time focusing on your team as a whole, rather than a few favorites. The parents that left, saw right through your and your little minion side kicks B.S. Remember kids don't fail adults, adults fail kids.
Merrimack is transitioning to Division I. The defending DII national champions will join the NEC in 2019/20 becoming the 11th member of the conference and will be eligible for the league's automatic qualifier starting in 2023/24.
Merrimack is currently a member of the Northeast 10 conference in Division II for this upcoming season in all but two sports and will be able to compete for NE10 championships this year. The Warriors men’s and women’s hockey teams are members of Hockey East in Division I and will stay in that conference. The Warriors will start their membership as members of the NEC beginning in the 2019-20 academic year and will be “incorporated as fully as possible into NEC athletic schedules.”
The school will be a full member of the conference prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year. There is a four-year NCAA Division I reclassification period that the school will have to go through and will be able to participate in NEC championships in non-automatic qualifier sports (lacrosse is not one of them).
“We are thrilled to welcome Merrimack College to the Northeast Conference family!” Morris said in the press release. “From the outset it was extremely evident that President [Christopher] Hopey and the entire campus community had a clear vision to elevate the academic and athletic profile of Merrimack College. With increased investment in resources, capital improvements and personnel, that vision has become a reality with Merrimack’s most successful competitive season in 2017-18 and the college’s largest incoming freshman class ever entering in the fall 2018. We are very excited that the NEC will be the future home of the Warriors!”
I think the point was that there is a high concentrate of 2005's on the AA teams. And there are! I agree that most of the boys will qualify for WSYL. But there is something to be said about having kids play on age. Taz has a big number of 05's, and I know wp has mostly 06's I give them a lot of credit.But they got out-sized last year and this year the puberty thing will be overwhelming to them. So they go and grab a big strong 05 from Express. If you cant beat them join them.
WP parent here. The team picked up two Fall 05's at tryout, which totals two 05's on the team. With 23 players on the team, that's approximately 8% of the team are 05's, which means... 92% of the team have 06 DOB's. Previous to this year, it was always... 100% 06 DOB's.
So, saying that the vast concentration of players are from 05, or 95% of the players on AA teams have 05 DOB's, that is simply a myth, spread by people on here, who's kid was cut by these top teams. Myth dispelled!
Only referring to Long Island here. I'm sure that the 95% number is pretty close to accurate for all the MD teams. [/quote]
Hate to break it to you but vast majority of 2006s will need to repeat or PG if you have D1 dreams. Take a quick scan of rosters for Duke or Princeton or any others which list birthdays. Both of those schools freshman classes last year had only 2 on age kids (1999 in their case). The rest of the class were 1998s (turning 20 freshman year) and even one 1997! (yes a 21year old freshman)

apologies for the dumb question....with 2027 YJ tryouts next weekend, how do they field a team in a tournament this past weekend? or all the other teams for that matter? was there secret pre tryout?
I wrote that quote and my son doesn’t play for 24 and he never would play for that club. It about every club that everyone has opinions on. Opinions are like butt everyone has one
To that point. Why wouldn’t your son play for 2 four? Whatever you answer is the value of the board. Where else can I get insight in to a club? If I ask the club theyre surely not going to explain how they will take my money but my son will not play as much as the kid who didn’t pay or practice and is a full year older. What I do with your opinion is on me. In the case of 20+5-1 I’ve def seen and heard enough to know Outlaws or Fl$ Are better choices.
FL$ has a huge lawsuit going on. Probably not a good option right now. There is an entire thread dedicated to that. You may want to read that before considering them.
Thanks. Did know that from this site....even with the lawsuits they're probably still better and more honest than 2x12.
Personally I would just rule out both. So many better options out there.
The Tribal website says "possible tournaments". Given the schedule of last year, this possible schedule may be a stretch.
It is definitely a very aggressive schedule, good for them if they play it and do well, otherwise it could be a long summer. That said, the only way to get better is to play a tougher schedule, not much long term value in beating up less talented teams every weekend.
Still waiting for the top clubs in NJ to create a spring league. No reason to drive to Philly.
I could not agree more, but for some reason the NJ teams do not like to play each other. You do see a lot of Philly kids move around from team to team each year, perhaps the Jersey teams want to protect their product. The other issue is that NJ does not really have a great centrally located multi field turf venue like the proving grounds.
St. Paul's School for Girls (MD) 2020 Att Elizabeth Kennedy of Redshirts Lacrosse Club has made a verbal commitment to play lacrosse at University of Louisville.

I can not express how grateful I am that you are in my life. I am truly thankful for the time and effort that you put in to helping me improve. I hope you get better soon. Love you. "
Play club. enjoy it. Skip the showcases. go to prospect days of the schools you are interested in summer of 20, not before, and the calls will come if they are warranted. Speaking as the father of a 20 and a later side bloomer physically. Even then still, at that point they will watch you seriously and recruit you unless you are one of the freakishly fully grown kids at that point--20 of them will be signed immediately. That's it. Slow your roll, save your money.
Legacy EELs look great this year should be the top team in 2026.
Enough with this legacy team , must be a new parent from a team that there kid didn’t make , the team was a B team last year that played in a A tournaments and lost more than they won because they go away and don’t stay on the island and play 91 express igloo and still lost out of state. Stop saying they look great who really cares.
If your son isn't good enough to play in the games yet, work harder in the mini camps as well as at home so he can improve.
Or, alternatively, just stay completely away from the whole situation.
Very disappointed to see that Dukes has let the Dukes National model infest their high school program. I always thought the Dukes Nationals program was just a money grab, and that Dukes would stay true to providing a solid program at the H.S. level for kids in PA, South Jersey, and Northern DE. With their decision to have (2) 2022 teams. They have allowed all the 2021 holdback kids from MD that played on the 2022 Duke Nationals program last year to infiltrate the Philly club lacrosse scene, not to mention all the kids from CA,TX, NC,NY. Why would a Baltimore area kid, play for a Philly club when there are numerous top notch MD programs? Asking for a friend.
I would guess that most Duke Elite players play on other teams were they get practice.
As far as the out of state kids etc my gut is that you will have one team that is the 2022 National team from last year and one that is a local talent team. But the team designations havent come out yet so could be wrong. Funny thing is that some of the National kids are average at best, many of local kids are jst as good if not better.
Apparently the better 91Tristate 2022 team will be very solid this year. A bunch of very good core kids with new solid additions. I also heard they are moving up in tournament competition because they rocked many solid B teams last summer and even beat some very legitimate lower AA teams. Anyone know anything about this team?

Now that practice has started why is there still big secret about tution cost not posted on websites , everyone forgot a month ago complaining with all the ridiculous prices. Anyone have a list of prices for clubs ? Make it public don’t let them increase it again another $500 next year. I bet suckers will pay again next year !!
What’s your angle here? You’ve posted this on every age board. Guessing a owner of a weak club desperate for numbers.
Where is the best place to find list of all the 2019 D2 college Verbals?? Looking to compare what school has what to help son pick the best school.
The commitment center on the BOTC is the only listing of D2 commits Im aware of
Just be careful the D1 listing is 75% at best. Havnt really checked the d2 list
Some boys got decommitted, some boys change schools, others are at the wrong position and I am sure we all know a few not listed. You best bet if your a 2019 is straight up asking the coach how many they have recruited in the class at that position.
