People arguing about who the best U13 team is in Long Island. THIS is what is wrong with youth lacrosse.

They are 13 , NO ONE Should be bashing Kids or Organazations. No One(Kid or Team) is The Best at this age. My Son Plays with the Outlaws. When The express beat us for the 1st time in 5 trys , yea they played very good, when the raiders like some one said kicked the snot out of us, yea they did. WHO CARES , we were 26-6 this summer. all the teams Express 91 Outlaws raiders and Team LI are very Good. Give them all credit when they do well. The kids on these teams are special, and it will be great watching them all develop in the coming years. The Most IMPORTANT thing is they are From Long Island, and this is what makes us the Top spot for talent in the country. Its great lacrosse when all these teams play. Enjoy it and stop all the negative BS

There is an email going to 2016 players. the subject title is "Barracudas" or somthing like that. This email implies that there is some training related to a tryout for the Barracudas. this is not the case. this is another scam by the express to get some more $$$ out of people while the "Barracuda" team is a hot topic.
don't be fooled by it.

i wasn't sleeping, but the team definitely was. Do you also remember that the Raiders lost to Team 91, who were shut out by the Outlaws 5-0? My point is....they are all very good teams. Any one can beat the other on any given day......

Have not heard much discussion about team long island.Is this because they are not as strong a travel team as the others, or they just do not rub people the wrong way.

I think you are a Team LI fan/parent that wants to get a positive response.

And you will get one, the Team long Island is very good at most age levels, I know they are very good at 2016, 2017, 2018. There older teams seem decent as well.

They are a nice organization though, and are always a good game.

Probably because Team Long Island does not advertise. It is non-profit. The teams are generally amongst the best in their age group. Excellent coaching (all volunteer) and cost much less than some of the others. The U-17 group this year was great!Won Laxfest, Lost in the finals at Trilax and semi's at Champ camp!

BOTC has started discussions with the Team Long Island group (Mike Gongas) to see if there are some other information that we can bring to our readers. You will find information covering their free tryouts on the Tryouts Forum.

Does anyone have details on the True Blue Lacrosse program? (Saw that they were added to the Long Island Clubs listing on this site.) Their web site talks about a U13 team (2016?), but we do not know too much about them.

In Boys 2016, we were told at the tryouts that there would be an Express AA, A and B teams. It would make sense to make the Barracudas the AA team if they are the super stars they are made out to be.

With the politics every travel team seems to have, what is happening next?

If you actually check out the NYPPL site for the fall tournament, the Barracudas are still scheduled as a U/15 AA team.

They will have as many teams as they have paying customers for.

Hey Anonymous,

As a registered member I am calling you out on this unfounded comment about True Blue.

Why stay away? Be careful because truth and honesty is sure to trip you up.

Before we accept sponsorships on BOTC, we do speak with each vendor about their program. The True Blue program has seen some very positive reports in our "background checks" and we believe that the program is offering exactly what is being advertised. This is a key area for BOTC as we want to be sure that the services appearing on our boards, sponsored or otherwise, are accurately reflecting what the Long Island and Tristate area can expect to receive. BOTC believes that your posting is inaccurate regarding "staying away" from this program.

My son was one of the 130, the tryout was well organizec with alot of coaches doing exactly what they needed to do, evaluating the kids. This was the first tryout my son or me has ever attended. there was an awful lot of very good talent, any suggestions on a team and its parents that just want the kids to play at a better level than PAL without all the drama. I heard very good things about 91 but with that turnout I think looking elsewhere would be wise. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thank You.

I suggest you call the directors of the programs listed on BOTC that still have tryouts available. Explain your son's experience level and find out if it is a fit.

Yes, turnout was solid in this age group - remember that there is a second tryout for this Riptide group planned for next Saturday, October 1st. See their tryout ad listed above the board or on the Tryouts Forum.

Just a silly question is there truth to the rumor that Stony Brook University is going to be starting a youth travel team?

That seems highly unlikely. Colleges aren't in the business of youth sports.

BOTC is pleased to recognize the Long Island Outlaws Black 2016 team that won their 8th Grade brackets at this last weekend's Skull and Bones Tournament. While we did not cover this event with live updates, we very much wanted to recognize the franchise for a nice achievement.

Pretty impressive that the division had 13 teams,including Prime Time, Jesters, and Turtles and the two teams in the championship were both Outlaws teams (A and B).

Prime Time is a Westchester team which looked pretty good. Did either Outlaws team play the Turtles? Commack town team gave one of the Outlaws teams a run for their money.

I was there for the 8th grade division. Primetime and both outlaws were 3-0 so the championship went based on goals against. Primetime beat the Turtles(7th grade) 6-5 so they had more goals against than the Outlaws. Outlaws did not play the Turtles. Good Tournament, great fields and decent refs.

In the future they need a semifinal so teams can compete instead of getting bumped out based on goals against etc...

Primetime had two players that someone commented were 9th graders? I don't know that to be true but I do know that they were big and dominated the field.

Primetime should have been in the championship based on the talent.

Numbers 12 and 20 looked like they drove there themselves. Fields were awesome. Semifinal does need to be incorporated especially at the higher levels.

Semi would have worked. Better final would have been Outlaw Black vs Prime time, but thats what happens with 13 teams .

Whatever happened to the Long Island Blue Demons? They had a good squad a few years ago at U11, so I think it was a 2016 team. I haven't heard anything about them the past 2 years. Did that program disband?

Did not hear about 9th graders, but did hear that they had a lot of 7th graders, who knows.
