So what about Outlaws A team where do they rank ?

Who cares where "they rank"?! None of these arbitrary rankings by anonymous people mean anything. And for that matter, the team to beat is the one your sons team happens to be playing against.

Any team can be beaten, that's why they play the games.

Any one have any thoughts about True Blue..I Was at Igloo tryouts today and was told Trueblue 2022 had about 12 practices this past summer once a week for about an hour. . Sounds light to me. Any truth to that? Practice is probably the most important thing at this age group

they had 2 teams at this age group. had 4 or 5 practices in the fall and did 2 fall tournament. Had a winter training session every Sunday(jan-march) that was extra for anyone who wanted to attend. 5 spring/summer tournaments and yes they practiced once a week for 90 minutes or so. there were a couple weeks that there were 2 practices. the fee was $1350. one fall tournament and the winter training was extra. I believe it was a total of less than $250 for the extra fall tournament and the winter training.

both coaches were non parent( I believe one is an Adelphi coach)and we liked the coach of our team and my son had a very good experience and will be going back to try out. I heard good things about the coach of the other team as well. I am sure others may of had different opinions of their experience.

not sure if they are doing 2 teams or not this year but call and ask. for what they charge it is a great deal for what you get. if you have any questions I would just reach out to them.

There were 2 teams in this age group, I can only speak for my sons team which was coached by KY. Yes they only practiced once per week but practice lasted between an hour and half - 2 hours there were a lot more than 12 practices not sure how many but more. They did some fall practices and a tournament, winter practices and winter tournament. Then spring they practiced from March till the end of July which was there last tournament

My son also played with KY and there were very few practices. We practiced twice in the fall about five times in the winter that we payed additional for. About 8 or 9 times in the summer starting in May a week before tournaments started. The practices were once a week and not very good for an1hr.The fall & winter tournaments were additional set up by a parent. Communication was poor and most practices were sent out the night before. You'll get a whole speach about how there cheaper and they have college coaching ,etc.. It all sounds great but you'll get very few practices and and whole lot of lip service .your not going to get more than 10-12 practices..the majority of parents and kids weren't happy..any time you had a question or concern they acted like they were doing you a favor.

Make sure you ask questions at try outs..how many practices, when will they be,who will be coaching etc..also ask the parents of the kids of KY's team what they honestly thought before you except any invites..

I agree that there was a communication problem with practices schedules being sent out the night before. That was due to the fat that the coach also coaches at adelphi and his team was in the DII tournament. Most parents expressed the displeasure with it and it was fixed. All of the practices except for one lasted at least an hour and a half if not more. The kids also had more that 8-9 practices in the summer and they did start before May. May was the time of the communication problem and they were practices before that.

Yes you are correct some parents were unhappy witht the program but there are many who were happy. The problem I think came from the parents. Most parents expected the team to be an A team. They were not, but the director exlained this in the fall. He spelled out excatly what the team would be. They were not going to compete with A teams most of kids were on a club team for the first time. But some thought their kids were better than they were. I heard all the complaints on the side line, did not agree with most. the other problem was a few Dads thought they were better coaches than the coach. KY held a parent meeting at one of the tournaments and pretty much told the parents to SHUT UP!! STOP coaching & yelling from the side lines. I know two parents were asked not to come back!!
Any way they were some who were happy and some who were not. Differnet levels of teams through out Long Island. everyone needs to find a team that they feel comfortable with. Not all of our kids are going to be super stars. This team and coach worked well fOR my son he learned a lot, improved, increased his Lacrosse IQ and hade FUN!!

"the other problem was a few Dads thought they were better coaches than the coach".

A couple of the dads on my son's team were like this. Nice guys, but I felt like telling them to shut up. I can only imagine what it's like to be a kid out there listening to the coach on one side and the wannabe coaches on the other

You can tell what posts are from directors of TB on here and what are from actual parents..I urge you to make sure you ask parents of KY's team (kids with grey TB helmets) at the try out or at other tryouts what they thought.. MyHonest opinion my kid got a lot of playing time but very little coaching..Agin ask a lot t of questions and don't get suckered by JC's sales speach
Good luck

I guess there were a lot of parents who thought this team could be a good fit. Over 50 kids at the tryout today. Evaluators did a really good job working with and instructing the kids on the field. Looked like their could be a really solid team if the top kids decide to stay. Some good play from the middies and some big defenders. My kid really liked it. Hopefully they can get the better kids to stay.

Announced that coach Bentz will be the A team coach. I head nothing but really good things about him from the parents who played on his team last year.
