IT'S ALL FOR THE KIDS!!!

I'm in the wrong business. All I had to do was play lacrosse when I was a kid. Oh wait I didn't even have to do that.


Parents need to take a stand instead of blindly writing checks. This will only be the beginning and other teams will follow suit unless we turn our backs on them and slaughter the pig now


Look if your kid can make the one superstar team, then maybe it's worth the dough if not, then its crazy....think about how much playing time, personal training, clinics, specialty training te you can get for that money.

If that's the all in number. It's not off base. You would spend that money ala carte anyway. And it it is high quality instruction and coaching it is worth it.

Clearly everyone on these last posts haven't read the tryout packet. This club flat out gives each customer the most by far. Go back and review you credit card statements. As my express bill was $4,200 when I added it all up.

Don't be fooled, igloo has "extras" also when you tack on travel etc. plus $3,500 you will be looking at a $5-6,000 lax experience.

You're not serious. They had 5 away tournaments they don't pay your hotel, flight, food. Every team has extras but most teams they are options that your are not required to pay. My son played for a quality team this year. Everything additional was up to the parents it was not a requirement and your son wasn't penalized if you chose not to pay. Paid 1500 before travel. My son was happy and so was my pocket

What did they add on from last year to warrant a 1200 increase? Anyone know?

Speaking of tryouts, what's the realistic amount of turnover with any of these teams? 2 or 3 spots (disgruntled parents, kids moving, etc.) or are all bets off and if "you're looking, we're looking"?

The "tryout" reality is that existing teams have maybe 3-4 spots "available " and they are most likely already filled. Coaches scout around, talk to the parents and coax them into have the boys come to the tryout and the deal is done.
This is just the way it is and parents have to be realistic on what the chances are of their son making the team.

I definitely think most of the A teams scout out kids- some kids end up playing for two teams in some instances. However, there is always a chance your kid will wow the coaches, especially if they are just starting out and have not been at a lot of tourneys and are relatively unknown. Now is the time to break into the the better teams, as the kids get older, I think it is a bit more difficult, unless kids decide to leave for various reasons.

If your son was not approached by a coach during the season chances are he won't make the team unless your are trying out for a team with a turn over. Igloo, 91, express, icon were very successful and will more than likely run with the established rosters

If Channey take over next year you will see a big turnover, Daddy coaches will be out and their little short kids with them.

With tryout season around the corner it appears Long Island has 6 true "A" teams and others that play "A" but should play "B" and others that Play "B" that could but should not play "A". Talking about only the true "A" teams for information purposes for those that want to try out for one of the true "A" teams how should they be ranked? Don't just list teams. Give reasons backed by scores to justify what you are claiming. For example With 91 beating team long Island Yesterday 5-4 those two teams are a toss up. But since 91 won the game they have to be placed ahead of team TLI. Igloo beat both these teams so I think that Igloo is the best Long Island team this year. The debate is for second, third and fourth. Wolves played Igloo close and the Cudas lost by 1 to 91. All the teams are so close I think they are about the same. But if I had to rank them I would say:

1- Igloo

2- 91

3-TLI

4- Wolves

5- Cudas

6- Icon

Well said and accurate! You can take boys off each team and put them on other teams and you would probably get the same results. There is a lot of talent on those teams and those boys should be applauded!

Igloo arguably the best in the nation at 2021.

Igloo Summer Tournament Schedule according to the their website.

Winners at:
Summer Exposure (Annapolis)

Igloo earned to be called best on Long Island and that alone says a lot. However I don't know if you can say best in the country because many teams don't travel across the country to play other teams at such a young age. There could be some great teams we never heard of because many think it is very expensive and not worth the cost to travel long distance to play 5th grade lax. In fact very few teams have the money to travel like Igloo does. Some have the money but are not willing to put the time to travel because it is not worth the effort. Without more info on all the teams in the country we can't expand Igloo's best on Long Island title to the best in the country.

I believe that is why the poster said arguably the best. That being said I would think the best teams on the east coast participated in Laxfast, Summer Exposure, and Crabfest as there were teams from NY, NJ, PA, FL, MD, NH, Canada...

The west coast represented well in Denver with the West Coast Starz and ADVNC.

Not sure what tournaments these other "great teams" play in. Not looking to expand on any "titles" here.

You all need to get a life! They're 5th graders and it's obvious the parents care more than their kids. It's all down hill from here for the igloo boys.

Wolves easily handled 91 last time they played, maybe 2 weeks ago,. I think they won by 4 or 5 goals. They lost by 2 in a very close game to igloo. Probably deserve to be called # 2 team behind Igloo on the island.

TLI didn't earn a rank, they opted out of shamrock shoot out and largest where all of the other teams were. You don't rate with top if you always are ducking them.

TLI is easily near the top of the 2021 rankings. Just ask the other top rated teams. This post must be from a parent who feels they are better because they didn't play them....Careful what you wish for. a lot of talent, determination and skill on that team.

TLI should not even be mentioned in the ranking , what tournaments have they won this summer so far? just curious why they are not registered to compete in the Stony Brook Lax Clash this year , after all they won the 2021 bracket last year . What Long Island teams have they played ?

Wolves won the Legacy Invitational (beat laxachusetts black 2x at their tournament) and previously only lost to Igloo in finals of Lax Fest and in semis to WCS at Lax Clash.

Chances are all the other teams have kid the same age but they where held back. If it makes you feel better to say your team is better becasue they have three kids in 6th while you have three kids who should have been in 6th have at it

The problem is states and even parts of states have different cut off dates for school grade eligibility. NJ or NYC kids moving out to Long Island may be held back at early grades due to the discrepancy. Until every organization and tournament go to age based cut off it will never equal out. Even then, unless cards are issued and checked (as in soccer) people are bound to skirt the rules.

Wolves barely beat that Cuda team and won by a single point.
Wolves did beat 91 Heat up pretty bad , and Cudas also lost to 91 heat by a single point. Moral of the story how long have wolves and Heat been together as a team VS the Cudas? Looks like the team to get your kid on would be the underdog at this time , As the team to watch out for in a couple of years would be that underdog team Cudas.

Actually not one other team ever mentioned TLI other than to question where they've been...the only people who rank TLI is TLI. It's pretty comical actually
