I know they announced at the tryouts that if you made the team you would be contacted. Not sure if they contacted each player that was not selected. I made it and was called. It was a great year and they handled everything pretty well from my point of view. I will def be trying out for JC team again. He was the best I have seen.

Custom CPR Helmet, Custom Gloves and more are included this year. At this 5th grade level they seem to have a buzz this year..They have someone on staff now to handle all emails and you can reach out to truebluelacrosse@gmail.com

Thank you!!

Isn't Joe Spallina the best there is at this age group?

True Blue should be a great team this year. Some highly talented kids that left last year are coming back this year. The college coach who has this team is the driving force behind this and will make it an elite team. He had the 2017 TB team that has a ton of D1 recruits on it. He plans on taking this team to the end.

Yes. And this True Blue hype is clearly coming from the club.

Listen the T B coach is a highly regarded college coach who happens to have a great track record as a travel team coach also. A lot of people are about to spend a lot of money on a team and really do not know what kind of coach they are getting. JC of True Blue is a proven coach. They are too few of them and nobody compares him to Spallina because obviously he is also a proven coach with the best team by far in this age group. That would be silly. Now look at all the other unproven options out there!!

IIRC, True Blue had a 2023/2024 team this past season? Did they have a 2023 only team also?

You may not like JS style- but there is no denying that he knows how to develop skills and team work, alongside perseverance and dedication. He may not be for all kids, but he knows what he is doing and there is no shortage of kids lining up for a shot at one of his teams. There can be more than one great coach and there should be, so kids can find their right fit.

Wrong!!!

If the coaching is the greatest on the Island, then why does the team's play not reflect that? They must be advertisers.

Not angry at all, but let's be realistic. They are a decent program. And that's fine. I don't understand why people need to pump them up like they're the second coming.

No one said it was the second coming. The Coach took this team late last year because the other coach decided last minute to take over a team he used to coach. Due to indecision a lot of kids left before they knew he was coming on board. The turnout was low but he worked miracles with some of these kids. A lot of kids that left are now coming back. If you saw the talent on this team 2 years ago your head would spin. Hopefully he gets comparable talent this year because then it will be an elite team. No one said that this True Blue coach walks on water but anyone that knows him or played for him will tell you that he is one [lacrosse] of a coach!

He is an assistant coach at D2 school how does that make him a highly regarded college coach. You are pumping him up like he's a Duke or Carolina coach, please stop making a mockery out of the youth lacrosse scene. Who are you and what are your credentials to label him as "Highly Regarded" . By who ?

If not.. this is the email address I used and you should be using.

That's the email I used 3 times.


I also emailed true-blue to inquire about the 2023 team and no response.

Co Head coach. Used to be the assistant when he ncaa assistant coach of the year he got promoted. And yes he is not a d1 coach but I think the guys point is that he is not a parent coach like a lot of programs have. He played D1 but so did a lot of these other coaches but they haven't established themselves as coaches yet.

I brought my son to a tryout yesterday. There were many talented boys there. I noticed a lot of Igloo helmets there, some Legacy (including their fogo) and express. Looks like there will be some major turnover this season with many good players shopping for a better fit.

Totally not true. Half the team left last year even after the coach was named. And most of those who left last year are not coming back this year. Last year was a 3/4 grade team because they didn't have enough kids to make a full grade team. He may be a good coach but what was this teams record last year? Which brackets did they play in? Who did they beat? If your going to pump up the advertising that's ok but be factual. The tryouts will show a lot. Including talent level.

Does anyone have any experience with Outlaws Black? I am assuming some of he kids from last year are returning and someone here have seen them play or knows who's coaching that team.

Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that kids also attend tryouts as tune ups for other teams. some times parent just want to test the waters. Especially since it was midweek tryout and nothing else going on . Don't read into the numbers even though they will use that to get parents to commit early

If you are under the assumption Outlaws "black" is their top team, you should know it is now referred as "select". There were plenty of talented kids there for the 2023 tryout.

Try Bluefish....new but so far the coaches seem to be very good. And Hofstra is certainly convenient.

Legacy did not have a fogo last year. You are clueless.
