Obviously you do not know what a real A tournament looks like, regarding talent level.

Losing to Express in a B tournament by 10+ goals, doesn't equate on any level being an "A" club.
FWIW, Express was WAY below being "elite" this past summer.

And please don't start w. Coach cat sitting the best players.


Are you debating whether he did or whether it made a difference?


TB had a good team last year. Had a few really talented kids. They played well in some B tournaments. I'm sure they will be good this year too. And they could be one of the better teams on LI. But with the exception of Taz and WP, the rest of the teams are being watered down by the emergence of all these new clubs. So each team will have 2 or 3 really good players and then a bunch of good players and then the kids that are new or average. All these teams are creating a lot of turnover and will be harder for each team to hold onto the better players. That's really good for the top 2. But let's remember that other than us the parents and the guys making all the money. No one gives a crap about 5th, 6th or 7th grade lacrosse. And with the new recruiting rules. People care less about 8th or 9th grade lax now too. Maybe just pick a team, have the kids make some friends get better and worry about an academic scholarship.
