Preds had reclasses last year? Yikes.

Heard Eclipse will be loaded. Apparently there are a bunch of New Canaan 27’s reclassing this year (heard 8 of them but that feels like a stretch).

I’m sure 2Way and Express North will be good as well. Not sure on the others. PT seems to have fallen but who knows.

More cheaters, fantastic!

Only chance our kids will have if we all go to True Lacrosse! They will save the island!!!

Yo, don’t call Surge fake!
Top notch coaches
Awesome culture
Nothing like the rest of those teams

Not sure what this stems from as I didn't see a negative post about Surge, but second the coaching statement. If the Hills Varsity coach stays involved they will get better. He is an excellent coach, knows the games and knows how to teach it to the players. The culture is improving, has been suspect at times, but is better after a few left the team. They can really make a push this season and will hurdle Igloo, Rebels and Legacy. They will have a tough go with S2S as they improved drastically. Def a team to watch, def a place you want your child.

Thanks 91 surge cheerleader

I know they were looking for one more middy, otherwise they'll pretty good.

Venom has 11 midis borrow one from them

What changed?

It’s a great day to be a Outlaw!

Nobody put Surgy in a corner

Teams that played the most tournaments last season: Express, Surge, and Frost

How did Frost do this offseason? Did they reduce that roster size?

One of the Surge coaches does a great job trying to poach kids from other programs. Shows up at other clubs' tryouts, friend request these kids on Instagram.
His name is Mud in the area from other clubs

That’s all fine and well but who actually goes???

I heard about 5-6 of frost kids got moved up to Northman.

It's sad that these parents want to be on an AA team but their kid doesn't play much. So instead of going to a team like Frost or Surge or Dune Dawgs or somewhere where they'll play a ton and be one of the best kids on the team, they choose to stay and not play. They think they're above a second team of an organization but what they're doing is a disservice to their son. Maybe these parents enjoy watching other kids play instead of their own.

Interesting comment on culture getting better after a few kids left the team

Who sets the culture of the team a few kids or the coaching staff


Remember the fish stinks from the head down literally

Just ask the rebels after "the mom" and her son left the team for venom. One bad apple could it

Express problem now...

Venom has their own culture problems to deal with.

Every team, say it with me, every team has a parent or few that we all cringe about.
This is not interesting or insightful.
Maybe take it up with them in person.

Good try SM, “nightmare Rebels Mom” who fights with every opposing team and ref- how’s that B team working out for your son?!!

Rebels lost a lot this season ..... Won't crack the top 150 club team next season.

Where did they all go?!

If this is a man commenting, you are the biggest P
If this is a catty women go say it to them directly
Feel sorry for your kid

For people to be this unhinged around a summer travel season for their kid is pretty much everything that is wrong with this whole system / process. Teamwork and sportsmanship have been tossed aside for the ME FIRST crew and if you’re not on board, you are an impediment that is easily cast aside to be talked about in their catty circles. You must be so proud.

Heard 2028 Frost is looking for another goalie if anyone looking for a home contact Igloo

Where did the goalie go?

Frost goalie moved up to Northmen

For what it’s worth the mom in question is way out of control and an embarrassment to us normal Rebels parents

Looking ahead to the Fall, who is playing in the Columbus Day Invitational? Any of these teams:

Legacy
91 Venom
2-Way
Eclipse
LI Ex Chucks
Rebels

Can’t find any previous years’ results

Rebels will be just fine

Where did igloo northmen goalie go?

Be the best already practicing!! Not wasting any time

Pretty sure Legacy and 2Way are there

They have enough players to field a team?

I’m all for my son getting lots of practice in for travel lacrosse, but I also love having August to be for family time.

Practice in August after a long season? No thanks!

I’m impressed and all for getting started but the august break is welcomed!
