"Wow, does he really live here? I thought they just flew him in for games!"

How does a kid practice on long island, when he lives out of state. Is this actually true.

Beware team 24. His father was a mudder, his mother was a mudder

if you are feeding to branching their brand out to other states that's a [lacrosse] of a lot different. Apples and oranges buddy.

Ferry and and car ride and he is there in about an hour. Same as living On Long Island . 9Done has at least one kid from NJ on the team. How many kids on Long Island play for the Dukes Nationals team? They practice in another state. Hockey kids have been doing it for years. The Ferraro family bought a house in Iowa so the kids could play Hockey with better kids. They both made the NHL

Are you talking about practice, practice. Are talking practice , come on man.

Yeah but NHL you make several million dollars. MLL you make 15 grand a year if your lucky. Maybe making a few hundred a week giving private lessons. If my son had a good shot to make several million dollars and have a dream life, I'd also allow him to play out of state.

team 24 doesn't need to go to NJ to find better kids, they have older better kids right there in Levittown.

Are you saying that this players parents take a ferry to practice 2-3x'a a week. That's pretty impressive.

I've seen DELETED play for Duke's Nationals 2023. Looks like Legacy is at it again. Having older players in a lower age group to TRY to bring their name up!!!

He is a great on age addition to TAZ and will help separate them even more

On age and on grade are two different things

You use the word impressive. I use pathetic and sad. I don't care how good he is, at 10 years old? My son loves lacrosse and is an excellent player but people need to get their priorities straight. Taz is good but not THAT good.

They lost by double digits even with them chtting the real score in half.

Sorry Goofy, on grade as well. Did you ever think he might of played up?

This is long island lax--- on grade ... so few are on age it everyone knows it .
Move on.

And Yet that comment is a shame. Leaving a kid back was supposed to be reserved for kids that were mentally and or emotionally behind. NOT so you could get a leg up in sports. So funny how soccer changed the age,to birth year. and all these kids ran for the hills.The lax hills.

Heard a tazzie daddy was drunk on the sideline and yelling at opposing players and coaches. Nice job. way to feed the stereotype.

Disturbing

Nice try. There were no "drunk" Taz Dads. Way to stir the pot

He was only mildly intoxicated. He yells either way. Could have been stone cold sober and he'd still yell.

Taz dad way out of line. kid got slashed. kid was OK. slasher got non-releasable 2 minutews. Both coaches checked on kid. Taz dad berating opposing coach. and Taz coach did not tell him to Shut his mouth. Taz coach owns this one

That is not true at all.

Isn't a non releaseable 2 minute penalty pretty harsh for an offense that was "no big deal"?
The next step after that is ejection..
I guess it is the dads fault,they should'nt really care when the kids are down on the field from an intentional act from an angry little boy who doesn't stand a chance in the sport other than his father running the team

Yes it is. Come on now, everyone saw it. Taddies live for this weekend Lax brah. How else can they justify their existence?

Hahaha... Car looks great man , you're really keeping up with it"

It wasn't intentional if that's what you think!

And this is why US Lacrosse should make the change to go by birthdate rather than graduating year. Less injuries, even playing field and less cheaters. Whether your kid is mentally or emotionally behind they should play at their age.

Winding up and hitting someone in the back of the neck from behind isn't intentional!? Accidental? Get a clue.

The ref called a Two minute full time serve penalty on the coaches son, who was losing 10-0.This is a cause and effect situation. If the player doesn't take a baseball swing at the kid. We don't have any fireworks, but it happen. All parties were wrong. The ref handle the situation, the player should learn from it. Parents should stay out of it.

Which game did this happen in?

They absolutely should! You would be amazed how the landscape would change!

The Ref called a 2 minute unreleasable penalty on the play. It was dirty and late hit. The coach should use this as a teachable moment. He put the player back in the game after the penalty expire. Bad move. This will promote this behavior going forward.

a 10 year old who makes a mistake whether intentional or not should be penalized ,as he was AND spoken to by his coaches to hopefully prevent something like that from happening again, as he was. The dad who gets emotional and makes a mistake in calling out the coach and saying " Hey #$%^& teach your kid how to play the game" while said coach was one of the first people to sprint across the field to see if the kid was ok (thankfully he was) should have have been a man and apologized to the coach by simply saying he lost his cool when he saw his kid get hurt on a play like that. Thats all,,,people need to start realizing that you are standing next to peoples families on the sidelines. Nobody wants to see their kid hurt on a bad play. If the kids make a mistake they need to be reprimanded ..if the parents do they need to own up to their mistakes also.

They are win at all costs, even in blowouts they are keeping their starters in. Classless if you ask me but they get their tee-shirts

Play in the B division where you belong cry baby.

Stop with the "keeping their starters in" all game BS. All of the kids on that roster played plenty. The team is just very deep. Simply tip your cap to them and move on.

No dog in this argument but, Stop crying already, every kid on that team is a starter. My son wanted to see 5-10 min of the game as we walked to his next game. We saw the play in dispute the defenseman made a clear ball was out of his stick the middie was well on his way down field and the other team player took a full swing to the back of a defenseless player with his back to him totally by surprise. Intentional or not as a parent your crazy if you think you wouldn't react the same way. It would scare anyone of us at that moment. Just my thoughts.

It really would make this great game fun again. The parents on the sidelines would be more respectable and become human again knowing that there boys were playing on an age appropriate playing field.

just an observation, team 24 needs to teach their kids to pass the ball in one of the their 50 practices this season.
