4 teams=play day. My lax tourneys have become a joke. Like teams that do them.

The problem is there are too many tournaments so teams are spread thin. If there were less tournaments available more teams would be in the same ones. Clubs need to do research, ask other clubs if they are entering before committing to them.

Rebels had a tournament canceled a few weeks ago that they entered in Delaware. Not enough teams. So even they miss the mark with tournament selection.

Not yet

NLF predictions? Venom, express have to represent LI

Aka epic jokers. But doesn’t start until after the summer is my understanding. This is the long list of smaller start up clubs that just don’t make it.

They looked rough today

Yeah, they had backup coaches. They where out coached today!

Texas Nationals are decent, they could have them a game. The others ones, not so much. PrimeTime is not an Elite level team, nor is BLC.

How many teams does shore2shore have at this age?

Texas Nationals just dominated 91

Haaaaa! Exposed.

To many s2s teams at all grades. Had rough go at B team tourney today.

Prime time always enters these tournaments and they do not belong.

2

Too many

As expected, LI takes a hit vs. non-metro Ny comp that is bigger, faster, stronger and as talented. That will be the norm for the next three years. Still a great team and well coached, but outside the cupcake bubble. They Looked tired and hesitant at times. Plenty of talent there and coaches on the sideline to figure it out. Should be a bunch of great games tomorrow.

Heard they are taking over a few clubs out east and purchased a facility… happy for them good people and super passionate and listen to their customers. Only club I have been on where director takes call and makes something happen if it needs to. Others sit back collect checks and leave their players and coaches out to dry..:

Bigger, faster, stronger? Hmmmmmm

Oh, so the TX kids are older, that’s why they won. Pathetic. 91 has not beaten a single Elite level team over the past 12 months. Not one.

Well how are they all bigger, faster and stronger? Diet? Exercise? Identify the best athletws and put sticks in their hands?Nearly every out of state “elite level team” have bigger, faster, stronger kids than LI teams at most of the younger age levels. Is it something in the water on LI? Superior genes elsewhere? No, fact is alot of them are older. It’s within the rules and at this point why complain about it anymore because it will never change. But don’t come say “they’re bigger faster and stronger” and expect no one to say they are older.

Who are the “elite” level teams so everyone knows if they beat 1?

Their best win of the year so far is 6-4 victory over Rebels.

So funny. How many 09 birthdays on Venom? Plenty.

When they beats the Hawks, Madlax, Next Level, West Coast Starz, it’ll be an Elite win. Not B level Long Island teams. I’m sure 91 is good. But they’re not top 5, not likely top 10 at the moment. But we’ll find out at NAL, Naptown, PrimeTime.

I assume all those same teams will be trying to qualify for the WSYL next year?

ZERO before 9/1/09

The WSYL doesn’t exist anymore.

Because a majority of the so call “elite” can’t field a team.

How many holdbacks does venom have? TX nationals were of age. The game has changed, long island no longer dominant.

Sad but true!

Down goes venom, twice and almost a 3rd time

You keep writing this over and over again. Go look at the last World Series Events. All the top clubs across the country entered the past tourney. If you said none of them could win, then you have a valid point. Those clubs aren’t fielding teams this year because the event is just another my lacrosse tournament.

They lost in the finals, in overtime. Sounds like a horrific tournament

Pretty bad for the “#1 team in the nation.”
Not even close

So 91 is only elite when they beat the elite teams in Maryland that are a year older than 91, ok that makes sense. Let’s see if roles were reversed and 91 gets to play the Hawks 2029 team. How would that go? That would at least be on age! Maybe they should play your 2030 hawks so Long Island could be the older team for once. How would that go? You think Maryland parents would complain about 91 being bigger, faster and stronger? 2028 LI teams and 2028 teams in Maryland are apples and oranges. They are two different ages which is why you guys detest talking about the World Series, because you lose your hidden advantage of older age!

I thought we were talking about Texas? As of now, the Tx Nationals are the best team on Long Island.

What 2028 teams from Maryland have holdbacks? I thought that starts in 8th grade.

Looks like 91 will struggle the summer with the big boys.

Should be several pages of whining on this board to look forward too.

But hey USCL says you are a 99.99!!
