Back of THE CAGE Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM 2025 boy lax goalie looking for club team / extra reps

There have always been showcase teams. Some club teams just don't do enough.

Just anther way to stink money out of the gullible lax or die, D1 delusional parents.

Rebels National is another name for "Rebels".. Same vomit, same stink... Get your checkbooks ready and I have some magic beans to sell you if your paying for that ....

It's not just the Rebels, other clubs are doing the same around the country. It's the next step in sucking your wallet dry. AA teams are no longer good enough you need to be on a national team if you want to be recruited. This is the new line of BS.

I think it’s a really cool idea to be able to play with kids from all over the country and see there style of play. National teams will be very common in years to come, think the rebels see it and just jumping in front of it.

If that’s your line of thinking then just register for showcases in different parts of the country. It would be cheaper

Top National showcases are quite expensive and don’t have recruiting advice involved in the service. I think that’s a great addition with National teams.

Playing for a team is better than going to individual showcase. Teammates have each other's back and develop a rhythm that you don't get from playing with random players.

It depends on the team. It depends on the coach. Some cases I’d say individual is better.

Got moderation?

you better be careful or the yja team might put him in wig based on their goalie history

Some National Teams are very good. Some are not. If your club has a solid team on the age group, then generally the national team is not good. Most national teams are from up-and-coming or beginning lax markets. Any LI clubs that have a national team would be a stretch. 91 has one, but it’s sub-par because the LI teams are their flagship teams and don’t feel the need to do more.

Any other thoughts on 2025 goalie opportunities for the upcoming seasons? Thanks.

Start emailing the clubs directly, this place is a dumpster fire of differing opinions. Most clubs will take a look at anyone for a practice or two, clubs with multiple teams per age would be a good place to start.
