Who cares? Why would you start a thread like this? Hoping to bash some new team that’s just getting started? Get a life!

That team is the poster boy for crazy parents.
90% nut jobs!!!

No,I know many of those dads and they are toxic.
They start fights with other parents,just no class.
Stating facts not opinions.
Their are a few dads on the turtles team that are absolute gentlemen.Im sure at this point they are wondering what they got them and their sons into.

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is; a newly formed team with great caching, no daddy ball, all the boys get along, everyone plays, boys are happy to see one another do well. Most important, the team is developing, and all the boys went home HAPPY!
Poster sounds like he/she has an axe to grind with some of the parents on the Turtles

True. There is a jealous hater out there on the team the boys left. The boys are so happy to get rid of the politics on the team they left. Bad previous coaches and clicky Dad's.

You're blaming bad coaches and clicky Igloo parents for your son's lack of playing time? I think you need to become a little more realistic. Your son played in the fall until the bill was paid. Then the coaches played the best kids at every position. It's pretty tough to jump to one of the best team and expect too many minutes. Be happy where he is. Playing time is more important at this stage than being on a top 10 team.

If that is what the coaches did what does that say about a team or coach like that. Why should that dad keep his kids there if as you say the clearly do not have the kids best interest at hand just waiting for the check to clear?

There has to be some truth to the assertion Turtles Dad's are a bit nuts. Look how easily they get trolled on this page. Literally no one from any of your former teams care where you are now. Actually, I'll bet most of them are happy the sideline act is gone. It's the same thing every year on every competitive club, dads thinks their sons are better than they are, talk crap all season then leave. Enjoy the next stop on the merry go round.

You obviously seem to troll a bit too much.

im not just full of hot air here are the facts
first of all, my son is not only good he is better than i think he is.
second he is so good we told his high school coach that he is to good of a lax player to play tournements with them.
third he is also to good to play in the spring with his school ,yes the coaches were informed.
if you dont belive me here is why i know. not only am i his dad i was also his coach for pal and the team sucked,except for my son.no it wasnt bad coaching i am the best coach there is.i also ran the pal program as director,they wouldnt of hired me if i wasnt good. the turtles will be the best team ever as long as my son plays for them!

Sir, please do the rest of us a favor and remain clear of the key board!

7 kids left Igloo - that’s nearly 30% of the team..men lie - women lie #’s don’t lie...

WOW, that's a huge departure.

Wow! For a 2023 Team that’s one Tournament in there’s a lot of banter. To the poster waxing on about those kids were 2nd liners not 3rd but if they stayed maybe they’d be FIRST, mmkay. What happens to 1st? Do they GOTO Turtles then? See if you played line 1 25 mins and Line 2 15 mins except in Must win Games and YOU can actually run a practice where all Kids get great instruction as opposed to line 2 being used as mobile ORANGE CONES as Daddy’s kid and his BAE buddy and Coach’s pool guy and Owners Sisters Mister and a Vice Principals kid who is over matched but promises he’ll get Coach a School District Job TEAM the kids will stay and grow.
I’m betting plenty of 2’s, 3’s and 4’s at their positions from former teams without the Daddy / Friend / Team Surgeon / PAL Director / Local School Coach / Owner ( insert Pool / Car Dealership etc etc ) just trying to avoid politics. Hopefully it is a mostly politic free team. Happy my boy ain’t a 2023 or 2021 as those years are flamed on here.

#’s 16-22 on the depth chart. Most weren’t asked back. The team is stronger after replacing them.

This isn’t PAL, pops. The best kids play as much as they can. Find a team that your son is good enough to start on and you’ll be happy. Unless, of course, the coach applies your nonsensical “every kid gets a medal” approach and then you’ll complain that your kid is better and some kid is taking his minutes.

By the way, didn’t the Turtles say in their flyer that everyone plays equal minutes? That should make you very happy.

I have one question for this they were not asked back dad. If #1 Bandits added players, #Express Added players, Shore2Shore added players where did Igloo find these awesome players to replace the ones that left. Did these players walk off the street or were they great players sitting out there on the sidelines all this time?
