4K at any age is rediculous!

Just to correct. No where near $4k. It is a modest $3,800 for Express A at this age.

Irrelevant already. smoked this past weekend. Coaches kids got plenty of run though

Express Haugen looked great last weekend. No, not a parent with a son on the team. I was told that it was their first tournament as a team. If so, very impressing.

A team didn't play this past weekend. Irrelevant really
How relevant is your son team
4th grade get a life people

Does anyone know if the Halloween Havoc Tourney was an A or B Tourney ?

It was a mix but in the 2026 group the only A team that I saw was Igloo Wolves.

Is there really A and B programs at 9yo? My son is 5 and I am looking for a program.

What does Dad Ball mean?

I actually saw the Igloo team on Saturday move the ball better than some 6th grade teams.

It was a well coached team and the boys looked like they were having a great time.

Yes. Some town programs can compete and even beat B level teams though. The A are the elite. Daddy ball is when the head coach and/or other coaches are dads of some of the players. I guess some feel those kids get more playing time because their dad is the coach. In a perfect world the coaches would be independent and have no biases.

Daddy ball can be more than just "more time" - it can be placement on a team they otherwise would not even make, as well as play in situations where they are not the best option(s), IE, extra man, man down, etc.

I surely hope that was sarcasm . . .

What are some good winter clinics in Nassau area?

Anyone have experience with any of these? They seem to be good options for this upcoming winter.

Nope its $2900 base then when you add in additional winter training and what not it goes to $3800. Of course you can decide not to do the extras.
