Use this thread to discuss lacrosse for the Boys 2024-8th Grade Fall 2019/Summer 2020 season.

Looking forward to another thrilling year for our 2024's! I know a lot here has had contentious arguments and disagreements on many topics. But I think we can all agree, that if we're here, it can't be all that bad! These are 1st world type problems. Good luck to all our boys!!

Madlax >>> Wolfpack

But if you want to quit a tournament after losing one game and getting placed in the lost's bracket, WP might be right for you.

Not even a WP parent but Its past old. Move on. Go have a catch with your son!

costs up everywhere.. most are between 2,800 to 3,800 . JUst make sure you get you moneys worth with training. Good Coaches make the difference.

Great point and topic. My question becomes what do you get with the program and cost. # of tournaments, # of practices, # of coaches, # of players on the roster, etc? So for $3k what should you expect? How many kids are too many on a team?

Yeah PACK AND GO already!!!

Agreed. Hopefully we can get past the juvenile comments this year and have some actual dialogue. If not, everyone please ignore them. They will eventually go away and find some attention elsewhere.

Hearing all the top igloo players went to either Taz or Wolfpack. Both teams will benefit nicely. But what happened to Igloo? That was a good team. There can’t be anything left. A very good thing for Taz, who had a lot of holes to fill. Any go to Express, or anywhere else?

Yes, actual good dialogue is what we All want. Everyone should create a Registered Account to post so that i)so we can see the screen name of the poster, ii) people become familiar with the poster, & iii) so that we can hold the users accountable even though we can still take action now when posting anonymously but it will make posters think twice about what they write -- If you & everyone else starts to register, the others will follow & then we can change the permissions so only registered forum members can post ascertaining for a clean forum - Register Today & Take Initiative www.backofthecage.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/newuser.html

Instead of encouraging people to register why don't you moderate the forum like you should

1) Delete comments that are inappropriate or bring no value to the thread
i.e. Madlax > wolfpack

2) When a Maryland guy comes on the long island thread and makes a comment about how long island stinks......move it to the maryland forum

These are just a few examples of how you could make the threads more informative and productive. If you keep deleting some of the people with butt comments, they will eventually go away

Exactly right. Botc has been down this road multiple times in the past couple of years. When this site is not anonymous, not one person posts. Nobody. That’s obviously not going to work. Botc claims to be “Fully Moderated” yet I’ve been here for years and have never witnessed any kind of “fully moderated”. It’s simple. Delete all dumb posts that bring no value to the site. Otherwise, why pay someone to moderate the site? In the words of legendary coach Bill Billecheck, DO YOUR JOB.

This post is obviously from the owner of a club, trying to figure out how much he can gouge us.

TAZ cant win no matter how hard they recruit and try

Why would you thing that? Those are valid points that every parent should be asking. Things like including helmets and gloves, or even uniforms make a difference by several dollars.

Taz is already a winner. With one of the best Coaches for the future. You keep going for the shirt. Learn what it is all about.
