Ok 91 dad. Hope you feel good after the grueling tournament.

It's people like you that perpetuate the need and desire for AA designations. You know what it really means? They'll charge you more money calling something AA for an A level program. Stop calling it AA, A and B. It's A or B, that's it

I just learned that our organization may cancel or modify our winter training due mostly to players vaccination status. The facility happens be in NYC under the mandate. At this age all children are eligible. People are actually angry with the director's for not finding an alternate facility. Too bad. Here's is my 2 cents. Its a choice, yes, but if NYC mandates you must be vaccinated and you are not, than STHU about it and stay home. Those that chose to be vaccinated will be happy to attend with you. Again you made your choice now stop crying about it.

The Trumpers are going to storm your house, lol. I was also shocked at how few kids and parents are vaccinated on our team. Even more puzzling is there are quite a few teachers who refuse to vaccinate. I guess when your idea of a good time is strolling the sidelines of games and practices screaming with red solo cup in hand, being rational is too much to ask.

Hey man, I didn’t come up with these designations. Someone did but it ain’t me. The fact is there are A and B tournaments and AA.

A team 91 parent living in denial! You played in a B Tournament. If you wanted to play in an A Tournament, you would have been in Delaware this weekend! If you are that good, you should have put up 15+ goals per game or more in the tournament you played in. Being ranked #42 as of September 2, 2021 is no threat to anyone. The top teams have no problem playing you and are up to any challenge. That's just how they are. They play whom ever is put in front of them. Until you play a team outside a B bracket and win, best you say nothing! Say less and play more...

Great idea, lets waste an entire weekend driving in/out DE to play a meaningless tournament when half our athletes are still playing football. You've got it all figured out.

Oh, it's the old football excuse....Middle school is Monday-Friday. Many of the boys play both. So obviously the missing kids on your team are hold backs, re-classed or in high school. What was the excuse for the spring season and the World Series. Football!

Nah. Whole team there except for a couple, no reclasses this year. Just a gritty tough team. Gave LIE their only game this weekend and pushed them to the end. Should have beat Sweetlax. Will be a top 4 team next spring and summer.

Not a 91 dad, but I watched the 2026 Team play this weekend. It's a much better team than the spring/summer. They cleaned up against a decent Legacy team, a decent Moose team, and a bad Express team. From what I saw, they are back into the top 3 on Long Island. But they are still nowhere near CoachC 2026. Tough to say how they will fare against the top 10 in the nation, but its an improved team.

If half of your team does not attend your winter training,Im sure you still want them to pay for your son’s
training?
Maybe you should STFU and let your team sort it out. Plenty of better places to train than in Queens.
Oh and yes I’m vaccinated.

MD doesnt have middle school football. We play county ball where games are on the weekend and not run by the school system.

Ok 91 dad.

You're "not a 91 dad" but you watched them play 3 games? No, you ARE a 91 dad. They are hardly better than they have been in the past. They are not a good team.

Congratulations Team 91! You ruled the Blatant Tournament this past weekend. Keep playing in B Tournaments and you will continue to be the power house you think you are.
