Not True

Don't take this the wrong but; does he really want to play? Remember, if someone really wants something, they will find a way, if they don't they will find excuses... Additionally, lacrosse is not the answer to all things, if need be, move on to bigger and better things.

That's just an ignorant statement and the person wasn't asking for your sage advice on whether or not his son should continue with lacrosse or not. The parent was asking for options. Give practical advice and leave the parenting to the parent. The arrogance you display is beyond words and maybe the parent and/or the kid just wants to be involved with lacrosse and has no further aspirations beyond travel and highschool. Get off your soap box and give practical advice or shut up.

Sounds like a nerve was hit there Pops! Kid was with an organization (B team) for a couple of years, wanted to move up to the A team, it didn't happen. Now, you come on here looking for so called B team options. Be real, and now you're upset about what someone posted on this forum...Go surf the web and find a small organization B team. Not looking to stir the pot...

You are missing the point. The person was asking for advice on different programs and not on whether or not his kid still wanted to play. I am sure you meant no harm but stay you should either provide that advice or not comment. These forums digress because people like to interject their own thoughts instead of responding to a question or providing appropriate advice.

Don't listen to this BadPerson. As a 9th grader your kid has plenty of time to get better at lacrosse. Look for a team where he will get playing time and practice minutes. You should see in tryouts where he stands amongst the other players. The end game is for your son to have fun by actually getting playing time and be the best player he can be by 12th grade. Also stay away from teams with daddy coaches who fill up 3 or 4 spots while the other 20+ players fight over 6 spots.

Maybe the kid isn't A caliber. It's the parents asking, who knows what the kid really wants. So go figure...

Rumor has it that Turtles picked up the TB faceoff kid. Gonna make them much better. Not just a faceoff kid, he can play as well.

Not sure who was at Turtles, my son is a fogo and said one kid there was head and sholders above the him and the other kids. Could be that kid, either way, the kid is darn good.

Thank you Turtle Director

Express is the team to beat this new season.

Bandits are still the top dog.

ty Express Parent.. Until you beat the bandits, they will rule the LI teams

Bandits & Express are two very good teams & are the only 'A' teams for this age bracket from L I.
