It just doesn't work come tourney time. But they will take your $$$$. Then for each game and practice you have to choose and you lose. Unless you have a Town team with a limited schedule, it's a mistake. And don't assume you can keep it a secret. Everyone will find out sooner or later.

Above average player would do good on true blue (many critics on the coach) either love him or hate him. Coaches at local college. Hitmen or recon.

These are very good teams for boys that are not locked in to the big 5 clubs. The key is to play, gain confidence, go to camp/clinics, play Box, run, exercise, and most important wall ball. The fact that someone isn't on Express A means absolutely nothing! I've seen it with my older son. He caught up and is blowing away the kids that were on the tops 6th grade teams at his time. Have fun. A lot of kids quit at older ages.

All of them have tryouts posted here and/or on their websites. I recommend you read their tryout thread here then check their websites and read more about their coaches and directors. IF you have any questions then email or call them - that's the best and most direct way to get information about each club now that you have a list. Asking here for specifics will always cause different opinions based on experience.

Why are they the only ones allowed to be mentioned? Do clubs have to pay to be mentioned or pay not to be?

Certain clubs that have a track record of being good on the field but are "Money Whores" or not so honest are blocked for example: fl$ , Legacy and 91

As a "Recon Daddy" I'll say this . I am very happy with this years progress. We are a first year team that kicked some butt. We were a B+ level but progressing. You can call it name dropping if you want but I was happy with the coaching, happy with game day support, happy with the parents, happy with training.The parents are all fun. My one critique would be that I would like to see more practices.

Those clubs are Good teams but B teams. If your son is above average then maybe aim for an A team.

Every club charges as much as they think can get. Clubs with a history of winning and quality training options can charge more than clubs that don't necessarily attract the most skilled players or have the resources to offer other intangibles.

They're all "money whores". This site just has a crooked agenda regarding the teams that can be mentioned. That's why no one mentions the team that they support.

My son tried out for 2025 which had an ok turn out. 2024 had a ton of kids.I would say for the other other grades they had maybe 2-8 kids tops. I was told, and you never know what is true, that the coach for 2023 has decided to stay with Bluefish 2024 instead of 24 since they already anticipate no 2023 or 2025 team. The cost raise from what was promised to us by Filacamo last year $350 included uni, helmet for the winter league and 1 spring tourney is now $1600 for a similar schedule. Doesn't jive for me. I feel like I got bait and switched.

If you've been around travel lacrosse at all you would know $350 is not realistic for a team to charge and provide all of the things you mentioned. Maybe when they started they did not have a realistic handle on cost and truly wanted to keep cost down but once the numbers were ran it was simply not sustainable.

Come on $350 for:
1. Helmet $200
2. Uni/swag $70
3. Practice facility $150 per kid
4. Winter League $80 per kid
5. Spring tournament $65 per kid

You can say what you want but do you really expect a organization to run at a deficit come on.

Why are you on the 2023 forum if your son tried out for 2025?
Since you have all this insite, and since it seems to be who your comments are centered around, i assume your son plays for levittown too.
