Success of these teams will depend on the approach of parents. Rotolo will win B championships with a strong team of some A level players. Team Greaney will get pushed around in A because they are not a A team. Tough position for Outlaws b/c neither team is an A level Team.
if a child is an A player why play on a B team. Why would anyone not try and play at the right level they belong. ?
sure he did... Do not believe everything you hear. OUTLAWS do not have an A team so how can they be offered a spot on it!!


A few points:

1. Are you new to LI club lacrosse and/or have you surveyed the club landscape? If yes, to either, are you asking this question seriously??!
2. The lack of clear and accurate (honest?) assessment of what teams belong in which levels makes the idea of assessing individuals as to level even that much more difficult. Beyond the obvious AA teams and top players, it is a mess. And grade-based play only adds more mud to this problem.
3. There are 'A' players on 'B' teams that chose to for more playing time than sitting on a bench with an 'A' team - take every Express A team as prime example.
4. If you are truly an 'A' level player, but were not selected to an A team, what exactly are you supposed to do - not play??!
Well if greaney is an A team why would a kid Play on the B team with Rotolo. . that's my point. You see . there are plenty of A teams out there. Plenty... I seen Greaneys team play and there are plenty of spots for an A player.


Meh - my son plays in an organization where he was offered a spot an their A team, yet chose to play on their B team with other players that he is friends with. There are lots of comparable situations where boys can choose to play where they want to - they're 11 years old, and can't be actively recruited for another five years, provided they are even interested in playing college ball and/or a college is interested in them. Yeesh!
