Back of THE CAGE Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM Boys 2021 - 8th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

It's the start of the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group

Not a huge turnout at the 91 last night. Heard that it wasn't much better last week either.

Why are you surprised,?

Yes, thought that they would still draw some interest, especially with the rumors of everyone leaving Outlaws and Igloo. They must not be true or everyone is going elsewhere.

This is the year people go else were, because parent realize standing on side line on a AA team. Will not get you looks. You need to play.

Yes the ones who want to leave will leave ...there will be 50 new kids to choose from it is what it is

Leaving Outlaws- Now That's Funny

No one is going leaving. At this age your teams are set, give or take a few. They only team that is an embarrassment to the sport is 2021 Express. 40 plus kids on one team, most don't play, and MC, will take kids from other teams and play em on his team for the sake of a t shirt at a tournament . So that means the kids who were starting got bumped. Did not work out for him at NLF this summer. Parents you need to be aware and smarter than just giving your $$$ to a 40 plus team.

Hearing half of that sideline of MC is venturing off to a small up and coming club ran by their competition out in north shore Suffolk . I guess better late then never !

What's the name of the club?

Has to be Empire.

Did anyone go to Icon tryouts last night? How many kids? Any talent there other than existing players? I would assume everyone is returning. They are very good.

Express is known for doing that at various age groups 2019 also. Take everyone and sort em out and shuffle em around later as needed. You never know who you'll play when you play them!

Isn't this the age that the tournaments don't really matter, it is more of being at the right recruiting tournament and getting playing time? I spoke to a HS Coach, and he said the best kids on the worst teams will get a look.

Allot of talent at ICON as expected didn't see anyone there that did not belong. about 70 or so kids so.
