70% of 2025 committed players come from NLF teams. Blatant and unverifiable lie Posted on their insta with the math broken down by school. So it’s verified Listen it is hard to make a NLF team.No shame if you are not on one. But the results of being on NLF are there. Just look at 2025 commits. 70% of the commits so far are from NLF.Good luck to everyone. Is it hard to make an NLF team? Seems to me you just have to pay for it. There are plenty of not very good kids on NLF rosters. OK I'm a parent with a younger child but wanted the opinions of some folks with older kids who are going through the college process. My son plays for Express, and plays a lot. His team is good, but certainly not great. They are arguably not even a top 5 team on Long island. Is it worth paying more than other programs and practicing less than other programs, just to be part of the Express name? His team is the only team that does not have indoor practices included in the tuition. His team seems unorganized at best and Express does not really seem to care. It feels very much like a business. Surprised to hear they don’t practice that often. What year? Is it the new east teams? There is a lot to not like about express but not practicing has never been something I’ve heard.

If you're unhappy now it will only get worse. Eventually they will import better players and stack the roster. LIE will not continue to field a competitive team as kids near HS.

Has anyone seen a coaches list for NAL this weekend? Why bother. 9 divisions at this level in the tourney. How much exposure can a player get. I like the smaller events with less teams. What a silly, self-centered response. I have no control over the tournaments my son plays in. I just wondered if anyone had seen a coach list. If not just say so. No need for commentary. .

LIE will not continue to field a competitive team as kids near HS. they do practice, just not as much as other teams. as for importing players, at what age does that happen? as i mentioned, my sons express team (not express east) is arguably not even in the top 5 on long island. i would have thought his team would have attracted better players by now and it just has not happened. thanks to you both for the responses.

Why don’t more events do what Igloo does. Igloo posted their coaches list already for the Autumn 8, complete with the coaches name that is attending. It is really appreciated and quite impressive a list.

Clarifying that just in general, as kids get older in high school, less and less attend practices in general at all clubs.

Seriously, this was your big witty accomplishment of the day. You sat there, though about it, typed it put in the captcha, sat back and let me see who bites. Youre a sad pathetic little troll. Think about how you just spent your time. It was a pathetic attempt at what I dont know but youre an absolute muppet. My lord, there are some bad posts but you take the cake for thinking you add anything at all to the world. Yes, it may be the pot calling the kettle black but darn youre as dense as they come.

Very impressive. And it’s only two fields and 8 teams. Coaches don’t have to shuffle around across several fields.

It is really appreciated and quite impressive a list. Its a weak list for D1 because they NLF is at Farmingdale. Even the other divisions are not great, if Tufts was there, that would be great... but they aren't. The elite 80 is by far a better Igloo event. Its expensive, but the coaches are the ones you want to see your kid.

Its expensive, but the coaches are the ones you want to see your kid. The coaches that were there matched the level of play on the fields. There were big brand clubs there but it had to be their B and C teams. There were some very good kids on the Igloo and two Legacy teams but otherwise there weren't many kids that will be playing in college IMO.

The NAL the week before in Delaware had along the top teams there . Many NLF teams left there 0-3. It was a tremendous tournament. Go look for yourself. It's unfortunate as NLF used to be something to talk about but for whatever reason that has changed over the last few years . Awful now

Awful now I think one of the issues with the NLF is they keep scheduling their tournaments when there are some conflicts. Fall Championship conflicts with NHSLS. The Opener is when some states are still playing. Their end of summer is the biggest and best tournament they put on now.

Awful now I have no dog in this fight but gotta call out a troll who clearly has an NLF grudge because their kid got wronged or just isn’t good. The records for the NLF teams at the NAL for this age group : Crabs 0-2-1 Leading Edge: 3-0 Madlax: 2-1 Thunder: 2-1 WCS: 1-1-1 Now I don’t know if I got the teams right but my math tells me there were no 0-3 teams listed above. Honestly, I’m sorry your kid got wronged or isn’t good but you need to stop living through him and move on

More college coaches at the NLF than all other fall events combined. Games had best of the best. If your director does not have you there find out why.

Colleges coaches win and recruit to put food on the table. And it’s part of the entire landscape of college athletics. The transfer portal has become free agency.

My quests is most of the top schools are done or will be highly selective to add or just go transfer portal. But there is still great d1 opportunities at schools like Binghamton, Drexel and Delaware. To name a few. The D2s start to get active now. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/commitments?class=2025&league=1

Most coaches seem to recruit a full starting line up per class as a start and then fill in with additional depending on the rest of the roster.
