hey you win some you lose some. no not kicked but no we did not win.we have played many teams that played great and the boys where ok with that. some are better than others. I am good with that.. but to play dirty is not EXCEPTABLE!!!! To deliberatly take your stick and go over the head of another player is Premeditated dont you think...some of our players might not be great but they play fair. chekc this site out many postings about Rocky point... I am sure we will read about those players in years to come for Penalty after penalty!! that's all am saying.

yes we do quite well thank you...:)we had a great winning winter season an did beat"rocky point" they played a great game this team during the winter. bottom line is you defend an outrageous Poor sportsman like team now. good luck with those rules you teach your boys!! you can be an excellent player no need to play that nasty!!! its a shame because the reputation you have earned damages your other teamates!!!very sad!

WOW

Its great to see that rocky point is the talk of the lacrosse community for this weekends "PAL SMACK TALK HIGHLIGHTS" , I guess now that a rocky point parent got wind of your accusations from a neighboring town lacrosse coach you really have to come to terms as i will defend and pronounce to the readers that the team we played was Bellport ,The penalties were nothing out of the norm in any competitive town pal game throughout league. It seems that when a team has more competitive players and rocks the other teams world out on the field during the game things look alot more tragic as the opposing teams sinks into a slump.Rocky Point went very easy and made endless after endless passes before attempting to take shot on goal. You speak with such certainty on this site about having an outrageous poor sportsman like team now , Tell the readers how many penalties your team had? and how about the parents on the sidelines shouting at 8 year olds , or better yet the one clown who was standing on the team sidlines from your town getting very irate at the refs , and he was asked to leave! you do not post any of that do you? Or is it that you that guy posting all the smack? we should hope not!
Its a joke that a grownup has nothing better to do then to pick his or her fights about a youth lacrosse game on a computer when you had all the chance after the game to approach the coaches. You speak about winter , how you beat Rocky Point a combined a/c team thats great good job ,as a matter of fact we remember that game Rocky Point was up like 6-0 in a matter of minutes and put the other half of the team in to even out play, Your statement actually tells all the readers that you went into the game thinking of an easy win. Hence you were defeated. You need to get a grip and move on !

Does anyone know how the teams are doing in the new 1-A PAL Division for 5th grade in Nassau PAL?

I'd love this approach. I have two older sons that would/have made the A team
( select), but am worried about my youngest son starting because I hear all the parents talking slack about the kids that never played and cannot catch or throw. My youngest son wants a chance to play, but is just not skilled yet and may never be. I would love for him to be on a town team that was developmental to his needs- not holding better kids back and not feeling badly about himself because he hears parents yelling at him from the sidelines. A nice B or even C town team would be perfect to start off. if he improves he'll have a chance to work his way up, but until then, I want him to play for himself and to enjoy it, not feel the pressure or not get a lot of playing time.

Which travel team is rocky point associated with that they are " without a doubt travel team" ?

I am not sure if RP has 2 3rd grade teams that one is so put together but the RP team I saw play today got beat by a second grade team from EI.

Doubt you played the 3rd grade A.if you did you wouldnt be questioning if its the same team .And why would the 2nd grade EI be playing a 3rd grade team??
check there website.

Guys, please don't talk negatively about this team. It is a mixed group of 2nd and 3rd grd kids learning to play the game. Rocky point was nice enough to give my team an extra game. Those kids played the right way and made good decisions with the ball. The execution will get better in time. They are being coached the right way in my opinion. Chris koehler

First off Smithtown is huge, their A team should be able to be competitive with anyone. Most of the big areas like Smithtown are not travel teams per say like 91 or Express, but they usualy play together all year in Tourneys and indoor. I dont know how many 3rd garde teams Rocky Pt has, but we crushed them , and honestly, where a middle of the road team.

Please be more specific in regards to which team you are speaking about that crushed rocky point ? Smithtown ?? That never happened flip that scenerio around !! And yes rocky point has two teams , developmental is a combination of brand spanking new to the game kids with a few advanced for there age 2 nd graders , as per previous post above by reasonable parents the team was split to help develope the program to allow kids to learn at there current pace of the game. to come on here and stir the pot says a lot about your mentality as a parent . Seriously ! Thank you Chris for Organizing the game and as well as putting things in check with your post.

With one week left in Suffolk PAL can we get some sort of gauge of how teams did in each division. If all we want is parity amoung teams this will help to know how town tournys will pan out and what to expect. sure many of the better boys may leave and play for the summer teams (that is a shame for some teams) but would like to know what to expect int he future from each town.

Smarty pants was funny - I take it as a complement!

but I guess you agree with the points, to a certain degree.

Sure sure the bashing has to go... but so does the bashing of parents that are promoting their childs need to play a competitive game.

Just like in life, it is not always what you say but how you say it.

I was just simply stating; when was there ever a team or teams with the talent as 91's 3rd or 4th grade team. Not sure, not to long ago you didnt have 3rd grade teams let alone competitive teams at that age (developmental at best).

And, these teams are getting pushed and promoted by parents who have older siblings and know they can succeed in a program for 3rd (or 4th) graders. (Commenting on the people stating this is first child syndrome)

and Sure not all of the boys will be the top tier players when they hit HS, but 50% will be the studs come time for HS. Think of it like the progression of basketball; it was boring in the 70's and early 80's (you may not have been around for that) but then the explosion came and it turned its corner.


Sure basketball has hit duldrums again but that is not the point.


The evolution (not revolution) of LAX is coming and by the time these 3rd 4th graders are in HS, it will be amazing to watch and college will be spectacular!
