3 game schedule may have been weak but they beat 2 good teams to become champs. Koodos to them.

Rebels oh my...

Not on A team in Bulldog Bash.

Venom only lost to a great team by 1.

Legacy beat BBL by 1 to get to championship game, then beat a decent true team by 1.

Rebels can’t beat quality teams although they only lost to BBL by 1. Which makes you wonder did BBL have a bad day today.
Otherwise the rebels are like the turtles are great B teams but not good A teams. Maybe they do need to combine again.

Next week Lake George should end season nicely

Rebels are fine, lost to BBL by one could go either way. Sometimes good teams play and only 1 can win.

Legacy gave themselves a cakewalk and gave Rebels 3 very tough games. Anyone that doesn’t see that hasn’t been around long enough.

Venom great parents?

Why wasn’t 91 Surge at NLF?

Too many players couldn't attend

Their Head Coach bailed on them mid season, typical 91 B team fiasco - sell the parents on something, collect their tuition and deliver on nothing promised. If you’re on a B team at 91 - there are so many better options out there. why give them a cent?

Great families? Only if you're in their 'friends and family' plan: Coaches kids and friends of Coaches kids. Good luck at tryouts if you don't know someone, b/c all spots are already filled.

That's a notIntelligent comment. You're coming across very bitter by that post. i guarantee you they take on some new players. every team can use some depth.

I wish this wasn’t true. But you are correct. Except if your kid is a B player, not many good options out there. Can go to a different A team and then ride bench. Or can play on a very solid B team. If there are better options, please explain to a first time parent going thru this.

That wasn’t a legacy tournament. And Rebels would have had to beat good teams eventually. They proved they couldn’t. Face facts.

Madlax 28 parent here. I watched almost all of the last half of Hawks v Venom at NLF because they replayed the entire game after the lightening canceled the games ~halfway thru the evening before (that's what a Hawks parent told me). I'm not sure why they did that, if true. Madlax played 2-12 minute quarters vs Express North to finish the game which only cost us about 35 seconds on the clock at the same score and ball possession. Seems unfair to Hawks/Venom playing a full game at 7 am.....and TBH the Hawks seemed a little gassed in the finals vs us.

Venom is a slick team. Well coached and motivated, athletic kids. They didn't have the ball movement and time of possession the Hawks are known for, but they played tough and kept it close.

Really???
What’s the better option for a B team on Long Island.
I know no one wants to talk about a B team. But they are the top team on the island as far as B teams go. They already got a new head coach and a solid core. Will only be better this upcoming season.

Yeah yeah yeah, we heard in the beginning of this year how they were a top 5 team on Long Island, they might be top 5 B on Long Island atm. Surge has dropped out of any tournament with any semblance of A teams this summer. So far the B coaches have bailed or pretty much bailed on 91, Legacy and Turtles.

Surge will address the issues and will have a solid dedicated coach. Not going to beat the indoor training and they have a great core of kids and parents that will be back- most important

Look at plc schedules compare Rebels and legacy’s.TZ defiantly involved in schedules.

The main difference is is that Legacy has W’s and the Rebels didn’t vs good competition. Whine all you want, the scoreboard doesn’t lie

And you couldn’t beat any of those 3 “very tough” teams

Many of these teams will undergo change

curious to see what the tryout numbers look like for some of these teams. I'm sure legacy,91, and express will have the most.

I found an interesting program starting up. Only going to carry a 2028 team(s). Will have two varsity coaches on their staff. I know a lot of great athletes heading that way. Will be better than most “A” and “B” teams in term of value.

You are talking about BTB, coming onto the scene as well for 28 will be GSB coached and owned by Connor Farrell

Yeah - BTB is going to be solid with a great coaching staff. No daddy ball and doing things the right way for families. Tryouts are this Thursday/Fridays for you guys who are looking for something better.

THIS IS THE SAME PERSON POSTING 3 STRAIGHT COMMENTS. PLEASE STOP, YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF

Please stop with the Surge bashing or promo garbage. They are a team for kids that still would like to play outside of PAL and get more run and could care less if they are a 91 brand or labled a B team. They know what they are and have no delusions of grandeur of competing with the best LI teams or any of their kids making an A team.

Directors are getting nervous about losing kids to coaches that can actually coach.

BTB?? GSB?? Never heard of them. Where are they based out of, practice wise? Any good?

BTB is going to based around the Plainedge area. I know they did good in the Long Ireland Tournament beat GC pretty good, Express A and competed with Rush. The team only had two practices under their belt.

Not sure of GSB

GSB will be based out of the Holbrook area

I feel bad for the hard working LI families. This is from a website of a Mid Atlantic program, all spelled out prior to tryouts.

It was a bunch off Turtles and a few kids from Oceanside and a few other areas.

And their teams are all good.

Is this out of line for what the bigger name LI clubs charge?

What do the clubs cost on LI?

Go to a place where there is no “a” team that will backfill and take your kids playing time at a tourney. Hitmen, True Blue, icon, 24 and Recon and Viper are examples. Go where your kid plays the game and will make him a better player.

Surge should drop the 91 name… doesn’t dynamic have the Ducks, and other brands they have shelved. Why play second fiddle to venom.

I agree Coach Dan is legit. Btb will be good.
(Coming from a parent of top AA team kid).

Gsb will draw lots of FO kids …will have to split that time.

Igloo tryouts? How many kids?
