So True Blue is a B team. Why are you so obsessed with this.

Multiple threads have True Blue on the mind.

It's maddening!! Imagine how much worse it would be if they won something this weekend!!

No ones even arguing that about this age. That's why their in a B bracket. I'm not a parent of True Blue but it's fair to say the younger teams are A teams. Also some of the older ones too. I have some friends on the teams and they love it.

Stop it - that doesn't mesh with the whole elitist lax mentality! Only those self-anointed teams get to decide where the line is between A and B!

Sure, as a parent I really want crazies like you with that additional information. And you might want to take look at Millon's rules and selection criteria before you comment. Get a life, quit complaining, and spend more of your time in the yard helping little Jimmy learn to compete.

So no one is allowed to discus True Blue without people thinking we are obsessed? This is hilarious. Daddy's taking great pictures of your attack and middies just standing around while the defense and goalie are getting a workout. See ya in PA in a few short weeks True Blue and don't forget to wear your mom and dad team shirts.

WSYL schedules out. https://goo.gl/ewgzEy

Igloo, T9-1, and Express in separate divisions. Who wins the 4th division?

So Cal Express

Express not a lock to beat API

90+1 Texas 2022 team should be embarrassed with what they brought to this tournament. Some of their players could probably drive themselves from Houston. I hope they got a lot out of beating up on B teams with older players. Should have been in the A division to boot, but that wouldn't have been good for business if they beat the 90+1 LI teams as well. Just pathetic...

The line has Express beating API by 7

People in Texas are big. People on Long Island are small. There is no conspiracy. Long Island is probably just more polluted and it stunts the growth. Get over it.

Nice try. Some of those boys were at least 14 based on their physical maturity and I am from CT where are air and water is clean and our boys growth for 12 and 13 year old is just fine.

Says the dad who trolls message boards bragging about his kids team and how they are in a class by itself.

Stop living vicariously through your kid and try leading by example once in a while.

There's no defined way a kid will look at a specific age. My son is 13 and has many friends born within 2 months either way of him. Some could pass for 15 easily. Others you might think are in 5th grade. All of you passing judgement on kids and teams based on looks should google the range of height and weight a 13 year old might fall in and the range of ages a kid might hit puberty. Better yet just visit any middle school classroom and see how much it varies.

So easy to solve.... it's called birth certificates

AMEN to That!! Eliminates all possible speculation and it works for soccer, football and hockey. US Lacrosse needs to step up and actually do something with the money we pay them every year to be members of their organization....

The average age to start kindergarten in Texas is 6
In New [lacrosse] it is 5
Like everything else don't blam the kids blam the system

At first I thought "blam" was a typo, then the process was repeated. I think you should have to pass an english exam before you are allowed to post on any of the boards

dat wood shut down dis cite

Maybe New [lacrosse] should star kindergarden as 4yr olds. Then they might know how to spell

BLAM!

maybe they should start therapy in school ...lord knows kids are going to need it! bunch of crazy parents thinking lax means anything....wish people would concentrate on not raising [lacrosse]holes and less on sports ...the world is doomed with the next generation!

Don't think it matters that they were playing B teams. 2 of the teams played pretty close games. Give them another shot and things may go a little differently. Believe it or not the biggest issue of the game was intimidation of size for the first 20 minutes after that things were relatively equal. They played Empire 5-2 and Tri-State 6-3.

Three Village switched to B when they saw the competition. Great 2022 town team. Why not hang in there and see how you can compete?

CT is practically the same as LI. It's just separated by 5 miles of water.

Igloo playing another B tournament this weekend?

Texas kids are not bigger. In lacrosse they are just older, owing to the fact that in NY kids are younger than Texas kids grade on grade. Believe it or not I have seen multiple teams from Texas at hockey tournaments and their hockey teams are not any bigger than anyone else's teams - because hockey uses a birth year system.

Yes igloo b is playing this weekend.

Three Village doesn't have the bench to run with 3 of the 4 top club teams on Long Island. They had Express A, Ninety one AA, and the Outlaws Select. I don't blame them for switching

Tough game schedule that Express Channy 2022 set for themselves at lax clash. LOL.

That goes for all Express age groups this weekend.

Have your great organization run a tournament

What a concept! But how are they developing so well playing on age? Why aren't they as lucky as our kids and being forced to play older boys? Very strange...

Your very simple, Channy's schedule is against the 2 teams that worked them most in lax fest ,it sure wasn't 91 so is your point at the top of your head

LOL on that reply about the Channy lax clash schedule being against 2 tough teams that worked them hard last weekend. Anybody giving an objective glance could only acknowledge that they have the easiest schedule in the entire 2022 division. Their other game is against Laxachusetts' B team.

They would have smoked outlaws. Outlaws is not a top four team. They are a top B team, maybe 5-6 in LI

Outlaws would beat 3village by 10 goals. I guess this guy is back!
