US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2028-6th Grade Fall 2021/Summer 2022

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!!

If your going to talk nonsense just say what team your child rides the bench on.

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

To me it doesn't look like it's actually the 91 parents that are whining. It seems to be everyone else stalking the team who does the whining and posting about the venom boys.

This is funny. I hope the Texas Nationals show up to Naptown with t-shirts that say "Champions of Long Island."

Do texas nationals have holdbacks?

They should be sure to order enough in size adult large.

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.

Why don't FO off dad of 91 just take the lost we tired of hearing about it.

There are no Venom parents on here complaining about ages. We got beat. Was great to play good teams in close games will only make both sides better. We need to get better and will. This weekend will be more fun

WOW, Tri-Star tourney looks awesome. 2 noticeable teams missing: venom and btb. Where are you?

what travel teams do the kids from btb play for?

Big boys is right, puberty when you are an actual 7th grader playing against 6th graders is a BIG BOY advantage. As it has been said though in many of the previous holdback whine sessions, there is no rule so it doesn't matter. I just hope when your 2008 kid is beating up on a 2010 you realize what you're pounding your chest about. Be proud of the win... against much younger kids. 6th-8th grade should be age based. No other fair playing field.

You’re pathetic. Your kids already lost

Another my lollipop tourney mistake. Was on separate weekends A few years back. Then switched, now Tristar and Captain C run a first class AA A tourney while laxfest is another flop B tournament.

The field at NAL is far superior to the one at Tristar

Laxfest is the same weekend so we know where venom will be. BTB is a pickup team without the boys from other clubs they cant play.

Tristar Predictions

Black
-seems to be a no brainer Laxachusetts & Express North make championship bracket

Blue
-Venom & 3D NE make championship bracket
-2Way and Rebels possible with a good showing

Red
-Express and Eclipse make championship bracket, could be contested

White
-BBL and Legacy make championship bracket
-4 Leaf possible with a good showing

Easiest schedule - Express North
Hardest Schedule - 2Way

Winner- Express North

Turtles in the B bracket

Easiest schedule is anyone in Red bracket.

Definitely a good tournament with quality teams With that said, I would be surprised if express north does not win.
