US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025 - 5th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

What I watched the Middies had no interest in getting the attack involved. Whole quarters where the attack didn't get passed the ball. That's unacceptable on any winning team. If the commitment isn't there then the kids shouldn't see much field time. If they don't come to practice, then no playing time. Cannot develop as a team if kids miss practice.

Does anyone know if Roar takes kids outside of CSH?

Anyone know anything about a team called outeast starting up? Where can I find info?

Those parents that left are nuts ... Good Luck too whoever gets them... The legacy team now is a good spot with no drama ....

No real tourney wins either

tryouts are around the corner. What kind of player movement is to be expected? Are the Ducks staying together as that new program? Geese parents throwing in the towel? 91 and Express adding to an already oversized roster? Which teams are the losers and winners? Which program is the dark horse to end up with the disgruntled families and surprise next year? Predictions?

I'm curious to see if 91 can form another 2025 team besides the blast

All second teams need is a dedicated coach. Like the warriors and aspen extreme have proved. Any type of hybrid that pretends to be something it isn't, FAILS. It has never worked. Teams need to be 100% independent of one another. Same amount practice and most important different coaches.

Very well said! other than Legacy Blue Devils haven't seen a B team that had any real form of support and dedication from the organization.

Need to cut all of the RVC "Superstars". But that would cost Chan money.

Rebels are taking all left overs from the geese. They started by taking in the dad Islip coach now hes reaching out to geese players to have them come to his team. Youth Lacrosse is a money maker wake up people, no one cares about the kids..

I would add true blue to teams that are expecting big tryouts...

The geese players are flocking away from reilly ball

Dad Islip Coach is better in every way than Reilly.

I looked at tourney machine and they were obliterated each game. They played us, they obviously aren't getting the coaching - O'Reilly wasn't even on the sidelines, they have very small middies that get knocked around, the passing is horrendous, zero lacrosse IQ (not taught), The clearing was horrendous - middies just stood around and ended up having D taking the ball up. For the $3k - $3.5k they pay they getting zero value.

Legacy at a Good Spot LMAO!!!! I guess the spot your talking about is sitting in 11th place out Twelve Teams who entered this past Tournament.
Please don’t embarrass yourself anymore.

No excuses needed from Geese. The ones that remain know and trust the process and the kids are not afraid to scrap and take a loss. They still wear the gold helmets with pride. They stayed loyal even when the water got rocky and the sharks circled the boat with big white teeth and bigger promises

Coach Reilly has been a great addition. The kids that took direction from him responded well. He was definitely a plus after all the drama. Good addition with Fiore.

As for next year the ones that were able to stick it out have been in both sides of the war and know how to handle adversity. And will be playing against kids that were taught to quit when it gets too hard.

Thank you to the parents that jumped in this year to help in many ways they did. And especially to the ones that still waited by the fence to greet the team after the bad losses the same way you did when we won championships. Thank you. Look forward to the fun times ahead.

I am glad you and many other parents on the team are sticking it out. There is too many people moving their kids from team to team. Ultimately if you find a good team, with good training, that your child actually gets decent time on the field then that team will eventually be a good team and get through the rough times.

I do believe the geese can be that. Chris Fiore is a talented and dedicated coach. But parents do need to insist that Legacy invest in a second paid coach who is not a daddy coach. If you want to compete against the bigger teams you have to have that. And Legacy defenitely is now at the price level like other big teams that they should be having it.

Then if you want to have one or two daddy coaches to "assist" thats great. But they take direction from the 2 paid head coaches and are not over vocal. Let the head coaches do most of the instructional direction.

Reilly is a nice guy and not a bad daddy coach. He is encouraging for the kids. But he doesnt seem to have an understanding of lacrosse language and what he says doesnt make sense at times. He needs to work on that. And probably could be a bit less vocal, and leave that to the head coach.
Other big teams also have real problems with daddy coaches and much worse ones.

Either way, 2 paid qualified nondaddy coaches are necessary for Legacy, or the Geese will find it difficult to replace players who leave with quality talented players. And thats just the facts.

So if u stay then you need to get together and have a real talk with the organization before tryouts.

you need to see the forest beyond the trees. The club is a winner. you will see . That’s why you are one of those pArents that care only about winning not development. You will see . You obviously have to learn the hard way.

WAS a winner.... and having a director on here playing PR spin-master is pure sign of desperation. As if the Groupon wasn't bad enough

So many bad, bad losses, and now they’ve lost games they should have won. Unfortunately losing is contagious.
