Don't they know the Avengers kids all get free passes this year for Express? Over 25 of those kids didn't have to really "tryout".

Yes, they want you to pay within a week. If you are trying out for clubs that are holding try outs near one another you have an advantage and can make a choice without feeling pressured.

That makes sense for Wolfpack and taz but wouldn't the next tier want open tryouts so they can add talent and take the next step

except they are moving to a new organization AGAIN who is pretending there are spots available. At least this year they need to show up. Looks like Express is collecting more $ than 91 did for their fake tryouts last year.

Sorry to disappoint you, just a parent hopeful that my 2024 gets a fair shot after what I've read. And it is clear that not all of the kids were at the same level.

That is true, not all kids are at the same level but with express you have a fair shot to make either of the teams. You did not have that last year with pack and avengers. That's why you got stuck with the Titans

Nope, didn't get stuck. So I am just hopeful you are right so my son doesn't get left out like it seems happened to other people. He is not a D1 player yet (he's only 9) but he deserves a fair assessment. I'm sure you agree.

Ok, enough about Taz and Wolfpack, lets talk about the other teams. Outlaws, Igloo, Team Long Island, Millon, True Blue... How are these teams and the coaches? First year my son is trying out

Igloo is always very good. They have a great staff, probably one of the strongest staffs on the club circuit. Team Long Island is returning most of their staff which was good as well. The Outlaws have the same coaching staff for the one team and new staff coming in for B team whose strong as well. I have a friend who played for them and they are great teachers/coaches.

Try igloo, good team, coach is a hands on teacher. Tryouts are next week. 8 hours of lacrosse over 2 days. For only $100 bucks! Best bargain since tryouts used to be free.

A friend of my son that played on Igloo. The kid and family enjoyed but they felt they kept too large of a team. Playing time was cut down. We played them they were one of the better B teams out there.

But for Igloo they are the A team and get treated that way. And I don't think they carried a crazy number of kids.

Treated like an A team meaning nice bags. They struggled last year. Not a bash just a fact. They lost to TLI and you don't hear anybody say TLI has a great coach. Does TLI have better talent or coach? Do your homework on how teams progressed during the year. tli beat avengers and igloo, seems to be something cooking there.

All of the teams you mentioned beat each other. TLI has a 150 lb attackman and the best goalie in the age group. It's not the coaching.

From my knowledge Igloo will be cutting down the number of players as they hit 6th grade and older. The boys get stronger and can last longer in the heat of the summer. So I believe they are making the rosters smaller this year. So that playing time isn't a factor.

Outlaws had some strong kids, so did Igloo, not sure about Millon, think they had a mixed team last year. Heard TLI had some good kids as well.
A and B, you guys are ridiculous. These kids are 9 years old!!! Most of them are still learning and growing, YES we all know Taz and Wolfpack are great, but the smaller slower kids WILL catch up! Trust me!!!
Lets have these crazy conversations in 4-5 years. Get a hold of yourselves and stop bashing young kids and use this forum for what it is for. You Dads are the same guys SCREAMING on the sidelines at your kids like lunatics dreaming about scholarships...
And no this isn't coming from a Dad whose kid didn't make a Team, he played where he belonged last year, just someone who realizes these kids are 9.

LOL, it's not the coaching, line of the year. So, just take a bunch of talented kids, throw them out there with any coach and they will perform incredibly. The coaches play a HUGE role.

Igloo 2024 has GREAT coaching. They had smaller kids and less of them when I watched them beat TLI in a Championship at St. Paul's to end the year. Coach figured out how to neutralize TLIs offensive advantage, quickly turned the team around from the semi final and beat them in a tight game after being beaten in pool play. I think that demonstrates something. No intent to knock anyone, but it is absolutely clear that high level coaching is what we should all be looking for.

I've heard this from a lot of lacrosse parents around the Island. They teach "dirty" lacrosse and have no respect for anything.

Didn't they start an all out fight at one of the last tourneys of the season?

Don't know about that. Kuttin taking a back seat? Hard to believe. Great business move but cant see Kuttin going for it.

It's a done deal.
Are they still going to stick with that Zummo and Keenan story? I would want that guarantee in writing.

Zummo won't be there to much, he coaches the 2020 team and it's a big recruiting year for that age group.

Interesting that you say that. My boy was at their tryout last year to test the waters, but we declined and are not with TLI. But at the open runs we met the parents, very nice people, and they have a very likable kid. I recall they carry around his birth certificate because of people like you. Kid is legit age, but some people accuse the parents of faking the cert. You can't win.

They had more then a few very very good players on Igloo last year. If they stay they will only get better. Solid program I think.

my 8th grader is more worried about his science and math class than being recruited... good luck buddy I hope you don't pass these expectations on to your son, because you and him are in for a major let down. Oh and my advice is get him in an early SAT prep course, they have them for 8th graders now.
