Here we go!!

And the Rising Sons again cause some waves as they beat United in pool play but get dropped 5-3 in Finals. I'll give credit where it is do. For a first year program they've done a great job. I met the director at the First Look Camp he had his son....probably up here recruiting kids, lol.

Where are the Rising Sons out of?

The Rising Sons are a great team. In my opinion, much better than United. Just saying...

2022 Express is going to be the team makes it to elite level this season. Coaching change.

Rising sons

Coaching change for the worse, director taking over so he can take credit for the core group that was developed by previous regime. Typical of that organization. Heard most if kids leaving anyway, tired of the nonsense and a parent calling the shots for that team whose kid didn't even make it, but paid his way on another express team.

The Raising Sons at SBU were not from Malvern PA. They were some Allstar team with kids for 5 different states including a few from Manhasset 32. Very good team with a great Goalie. championship was a great game with United beating 5-3. Both team played very well.

Actually, not an "all-star" team. We are a lacrosse community here in the mid atlantic. Parents and coaches were asked if they had kids that wanted to play a tournament. 6 groups of kids from 5 states. The core was from malvern and philly- then deleware, baltimore and even a family from Florida was in town. Rising Sons organized it. The Rising Sons are one of the groups that "get it" in youth lacrosse. Great time was had and the boys really enjoyed it- they just went out and played... 91 was a very good team as was much of the other competition. Fun youth lacrosse...

Why make an All Star team from 5 different states at the 4th grade level? What does it proove when you play kids from one community... I think its pretty crappy - come to long island and play with your club team and see what happens.

Thoughts ?

Thanks for showing us what genuine feel good lax looks like, unfortunately, we did that and do that periodically on li already. That all said, bring your best and play smash.,the current best li team in this age group. See here in li, we gave plenty of options for feel good lax but we like to be the best.

The Sons are drawing kids from Delaware and Maryland. However nearly every kid comes from the mainline area. Watch how the next few summers shake out with this club. Big things brewing.

And the Sons come from a 15 square mile area, Long Island is 1400 Square Miles, so PA in turn has "rec teams" competing with your Travel Teams. "Come to the Island and see what happens" loser, they did and won Shamrock, beat Igloo, beat united, outlaws, legacy, crush, express, 3 village, jesters, etc.

All teams you listed are second tier teams. Smash will crush the sons team.

What yr are you talking about??? 2022?
Never played half those teams. We r on express, never played them

This type of post and attitude is why so many people, regardless of age group, think Smash parents are white trash losers. Nothing against the kids, they play great lax but parents epitomize the word "tools"

I would say always about playing time, if you son is on the bench with Smash, wouldn't you want him at this age to play and improve his game to be better??? Smash bench would say could start on other clubs, unless you like your son to be a role player then stay on Smash, I rather have more playing time!!!

Anyone can put together an All Star Team from various states. Play with your club team and support the kids that play with your club, unless you want to advertise yourself as a national team, like others do. We were also told by some older kids that they are reclassifying, even though a mother denied it, the kids confirmed it in front of her. I really wish parents would put academics first and I am sad to hear that Sons is doing it in lax now too. So yes, some things might be brewing...lol.

2022 Express Minutemen have never played Sons. Team Li white U10 has never played sons. To go a step further I was told on Saturday by the parent of a Son's player that they were rising 6th graders. If this is true they could not even win a bracket when they played down.

The huge number of club teams on long island makes your argument about 1400 square miles moot. LI Lax is becoming watered down with so many clubs popping up. SMASH is clearly #1 - and you could have made at least another 3 "ALL STAR" Teams out of the LI teams there were at SB this weekend - that would have beaten SONS.

Never seen Sons in Maryland tournaments

That was not an all star team this weekend it was just some dad putting his kid in one additional tournament that he heard good things about. Since he was short he made some cold calls and got some kids from other states. Thats how we got involved. The kids never practiced together and for the most part had not met each other until Saturday at 1:30 in the afternoon. For 80 bucks it seemed like a pretty decent way to spend the weekend. United played a great game beat us in the ground ball and clearing department. Hopefully he is able to get a solid full time team together for next year and come up again.

Absolutely - we did not practice - but had great chemistry. SMASH will be no problem for us next year if they want to play in the right grade... I say bring it on.

Three Village does not belong in this conversation. We are a town team only. The only ones on our team are the ones that will be attending the same high school. I thought we gave the Sons a run for their money. Our game ended 3-1. Hats off to them. The team was made up of at least 3 different states and 4 kids from Manhasset. Overall it was a great way to end the year.

why call it Rising Sons then? When my son plays a tournament with mixed kids, they go under a different name, so as not to misrepresent themselves. I think it is great that kids from all over got together and had a good run, but then call it what it is- a thrown together team- with it's own name.

Completely Agree!! Same goes for Manhasset 32, Garden City, Farmingdale, Port, and others that I am missing...

I think they meant the Sons in general between their 2020s 2021s and now 2022s that they beat some of our best teams. I saw with my own eyes the 20194 Sons pound crush. I'm convinced it was that game that mad spallina stay in the 2020 bracket all summer

Smash is never hard to find. They will play anyone on age or otherwise. They may not win....but they will play. Any team that has played them knows they will always give them their best. They are fun to watch and fun to play against.

Why not win a 4th grade A tournament first before talking smack to Smash?

We did win. Patriot Games last week went 5-0

Patriot Games.... LOL.

Looking for some input; son is an A type player.
Just wondering which way to look when tryouts begin.
Would appreciate some input, thank you

Express A team has some openings, director taking over and looking to bring the team to the next level. The team took a big step this season and is looking to get to the next level. Team has a strong core that it wants to add to. Of the so called top teams, the best chance for a roster spot will be will Express.

Look the other way!

Kind of depends where you live (unless you don't mind driving)... I doubt there are spots open on 91's "A" team SMASH.. but if you are looking for a competitive team - then look to either their "B" team 91 United, Igloo, Outlaws, Team Long Island, Express.

Team 91 has great coaching and very strong players. Look beyond the whit-noise you read on this site about 91. True, the parents are sometimes tough to take, but the coaches and players on the two 2022 91 teams are just solid.

Igloo has solid coaching and is very competitive.

Express also has good coaching, and I would argue a better "lax culture" then the two aforementioned, supporting their teams.

Jesters have made some nice strides competitively, but I don't think they are in the same league as 91, Igloo & Express. Not talking wins & losses, just complete club instruction & experience.

ICON, while a start-up, and not as competitive, has great coaches and in my opinion, it's only a matter of time before this club rises up the ranks.

Good luck to your son. Keep him smiling, that's the most important thing to remember.

I can only speak for my experience. My son was on Jesters Black and had great experience. Had well over 20 practices. Played in 9 tournaments and coould not have had better coaching. We particpated in great winter training and shooting clincs. (additional cost). I am not sure how someone can comment on "lax culture" of 5 different clubs they did not participate in, but I can tell you that I know for a fact that kids from igloo and Express want to come here next year. I absolutely agree that it is about the individual coaches, players and families. Not strictly wins and loses.

Isn't the head coach leaving for Igloo?

I agree- it is hard to pick a "club" when looking for a team. I think the coach is actually more important than the name of the club. Sure, the club designs the uniforms, the clinics, the camps and what not- but the experience and the tone of the team is really dependent on the coaches of the actual team your son makes. I would try out for a few teams and get first hand accounts on what is important to you and your son- a soft spoken coach or one that yells and fires them up, an organized coach, or a laid back, spur of the moment coach, where they practice and how often, Spring/Summer team or year round training, and of course- financially, the club/team should fit your budget. Some teams do way more travel than others and hotel and gas costs rise substantially. Others stay local and only to one out of state team. I personally think it is more about the coaches than the club. GL to your son. It is quite a ride, but if you find the right team, the ride is lots of fun!

That's the rumor. To coach younger son. But other coach returning and most of families we spoke to not even trying out for another team.

Who quits a job for the chance for his son to make igloo? What if his kid does not make Igloo? FUNNY this is just more proof Igloo teams are set before tryouts. I feel bad for that kid who is rated last on Igloo's depth chart at the position of the son of the new coach.

Why do you feel bad for the kid rated last on the Igloo depth chart - he probably does not see much game action - maybe now - he can go to a different team and play and have fun.

Go to the Express at this age group. You'll be very happy.

What is great about Express 2022 ?

Very good now. New coaching regime incoming. A lot of spots will be open.

The player referred to was the leading goal scorer for 2022 Express, an All-Tournament player and made the team again this year. The player gave up his roster spot because he was mistreated. But Express stepped up and placed the kid on a higher level team at no additional tuition. The coaching change is occurring because the previous coach wants to refocus his time on charitable efforts. Those are the facts.

It will be a whole new team. Maybe 4 kids back from a team that was very good last year. They will not be any good this coming year. Director taking over team. Stay away!

Which 2022 Express team are you referring to... "A" or "B"... Minutemen or Terps... Are you saying that only 4 kids from the "A" team - Minutemen will be Returning ? Where is everyone else going ? Sounds like nonsense to me

My son is part of the Minutemen. First of all it has been a great experience. We have met some great people, parents and kids have all become friends and it has been a positive experience. The coaching staff was great as well. I have had a good laugh reading the nonsense on here about the team. Most of it could not be further from the truth. Team had a great season and was vastly improved from the previous season. Head Coach stepped down because he is involved in other things. Director is taking over. From what I understand 80% of the players are coming to try outs with the intention of staying. The others are moving on because as we all know "the grass is always greener, somewhere else". There will be plenty of roster turnover because the director being the coach will draw a lot of players. Think the future for this team is very bright. They are definitely expecting to take the team to the next level.

Express kids play their because they want to attend one of the Catholic lax schools. Most will stay no matter how bad they are or mistreated they feel

Was this an autobiography?

He was not the leading goal scorer. He was all tournament because everyone else went home. And express put him at a higher level team cause he quit another program this spring. 2 years 3 different teams.......

Who the [lacrosse] keeps stats at 3rd grade travel ?

The "serious" clubs are already using Krossover all the way down to 2023 teams. Full film breakdown and individual/team stats. A little overkill, but really great to watch.

Really ? I have been through with 2 boys. Each on "serious" clubs and have yet to see a stat kept .

Some clubs use the fees for league enrollment, tournament fees, practice field time, and on tools to help the coaches (like krossover) and some just bank the profits or buy gear the kids may or may not need.

Teams should list the coaches when they send out tryout information. I've been around the travel scene long enough to know the most important thing in choosing the team is the coach. You can have a big name organization and not a great coach and the experience will not be very good. Or you can have a small organization and a great coach and a great experience. These organizations send out try out information and you have to commit $100 to try out (in some cases) but you don't know who the coach will be. From what I have been reading on this thread there will be a lot of coach movement this year. The organizations should all list the coaches.

Who will be coaching the express A and B teams?
Who will be coaching the jesters?
Who will be coaching outlaws?
Who will be coaching igloo?
Who will e coaching fl$?

Thanks for showing us what genuine feel good lax looks like, unfortunately, we did that and do that periodically on li already. That all said, bring your best and play smash.,the current best li team in this age group. See here in li, we gave plenty of options for feel good lax but we like to be the best.

It's ON Long Island and anyone who is actually from here would know that. So where are you from really?

What's funny is that tournament was a joke. There was absolutely no competition which is why we didn't go back.....and our red cups are Dixie not Solo.

There is no way that 6 kids are going to walk away from SMASH to join up with Legacy... Legacy's 2022 teams were C+ at best. 6 top kids are not going to make them an "A" team. When they come off the field the next group of kids to go on will expose the lack of depth that they have.

Whatever brand they are they are filled with your missed opportunities and hard liquor. The real shame is the kids are good but the parents are complete A**holes. You guys are way worse than the Crush parents with your arrogance.

The Jokers

I think he's referring to the 2022 Jesters black that's the team Barone coached

Sounds like super hero fan's kid got cut last year!!

Angry parents!

Your kid will need an English tutor, if you are his role model/parent/caretaker.
Not travel lacrosse.
Not Coach Barone.
What a mess of the English language youve made.

When you are out of clever things to say and can't argue with reality anymore, try to find grammatical and spelling errors.

Typical low class insane parent. Role model? I am sure your kid loves to see you screaming on side line. If these attacks and outbursts are any indication, I feel bad for him.

Let me break it down for you.

Sounds like - you should be able to follow so far
Super Hero - batman and robin
Fan's kid - that's you (you like super Heroes, he's your kid)
Got cut last year - pretty sure you understand this one

As a parent of a player on Coach Barone's and Coach McHugh 2022 team for the last two years, I wish to thank both him and Coach McHugh for all the hard work providing a top level lacrosse experience for our family. The entire journey was fantastic. Our son met a lot of great kids, grew as a lacrosse player, learned wonderful life skills and deepened his love for the game. Tony and Mikes emphasis on schoolwork, sportsmanship, family, and teamwork were invaluable. Our family had a great time meeting new friends, being part of a close knit group of families and watching our children develop as athletes and kids.

With respect to Coach Barone's move to Igloo, we wish him and his family nothing but the best. As Tony said after our last game of the season, once an athlete has completed for him, that player will always will be considered one of Tony's group and his door would always be open. Tony committed to provide a 100% effort while coaching our children, teaching them the game of lacrosse while fostering their development as student-athletes, which he did a marvelous job of. He did not commit to coaching our children for the rest of their careers. Personally I feel it is beneficial for young players to experience different coaching styles, so I consider this to be an opportunity to gain insight from different coaching, as if Coach Tony had continued with the Jesters, we would have stayed with him.

As for Coach McHugh, we are confident he will continue to do a great job. He and Tony aside from being good friends, had very similar coaching styles. Coach McHugh is very knowledgeable about the game and I am sure will continue to help our children flourish.

As for the personal attacks on Coach Tony, I remind everyone that our children are 10 years old. Coach Barone is following through what all of us attempt to complete on a daily basis, that what is best for his family. I applaud him to have the courage to make this difficult decision, for I know Tony cares deeply for his players. I am sure that he and his sons will have success with Igloo as they are wonderful athletes. At no time during the past two seasons did Tony show any favoritism or provide special treatment to his child who was on the team. (who happens to be a special lacrosse player).

To close, thanks Tony for a wonderful experience. Our family will always remember the past two seasons and wish you and your entire family continued success.

As another parent of a Jester's Black 2022 player - completely agree!!! Coach Tony & Coach Mike did an amazing job with the boys this past season and will continue to do so where ever they decide to go. They have the biggest hearts for the game and for all the children they teach. P.S. The Jester's 2022 Black Parents were a pleasure to be with at ALL the practices and games.

Amen! Another parent of Coach Barone and Coach McHugh's team... Great season! Great experience! I didn't care about wins/losses. Told my son it's about good coaching, learning the game, and playing time...So much growth in my son's game this year... The parents were awesome and so much fun to be around...I wish everyone the best in whatever they decide to do for next year..

I'm glad to see all most of the families getting along , but don't you have each other's emails to say your goodbyes and happiness ?

So...are you Jesters 2022 Black all moving to Igloo?

Any info on 2022 express? Understand they made big strides last summer but I see the coach is now with igloo. Also heard there are only 4-5 players coming back. Have a 2022 son looking for a team. Seems like this team is starting over. Who is coaching now? What's going on over there in express land?

How can a team that lost every single time last year think they are ALL going to the team that beat them. Maybe 3 kids from Jesters would make that team and their roles would be greatly reduced.

Oh yea.....and don't forget about the extra couple of thousand !

Don't know about only 4 or 5 coming back. Director is taking over with his two son's and his defensive coach. The core is all coming back. We played last season and from what I have been told only players not coming back are the players who did not see the field much. Team is looking to take the next step. Core players are all returning.

Channy coaching the team. Starting from scratch.

Would not call 10-12 returning players starting from scratch. More along the lines of upgrading and taking the next step. Team will be very good this coming season. Very talented core but had a huge drop off.

No way 10-12 players returning to that team. No more than 6. Losing some top players.

i think this happens to be a very talented age group. There without a doubt will be alot of kids moving around but i'm not sure how much a difference it will make when it comes to the programs that most would consider top 5.I'm sure for some on here a team that was maybe considered say the third best team this past season and this coming season slips to number 5 will be considered an epic failure and there will be talk of the demise of the program ,jabs at the coach, comments about cost ect ect.But in reality there are an awful lot of very good kids on these teams that for whatever reason are going to make a move and i'm not an Express parent but i have trouble believing that a program like Express isnt going to get enough new kids to fill spots and still be competetive. I guess my point is that these teams will be essentially replacing players with players of similar abilty.

Can anyone confirm who will be coaching the following 2022 "A"-teams for the 2014/2015 season?

Igloo
Express
Jesters

Thanks in advance

Igloo -Cromwell going to be great a great experience for ALL kids ...he is very very good with kids

Is Cromwell doing 2022 ?

Where will 2022A/B be practicing this year?

18 to 20 thanks I needed a good laugh.

Does anyone know anything about a new team called the "Hurricanes"? I am speaking as a 2022 parent. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

Go to the Hub web site. There is a tab for them. They also have a thread on here. Not much info otherwise.

Don't go to the tab go to the home page and look near the bottom there is a clickable link for them and that goes to the team page that has 3 coaches and practice dates as well as an email address no one answered yet.

Don't forget all those guest appearances from players who channy thinks will help him that particular tournament. We all know he's famous for that!!
Good luck. I'd stay far away from this team. He will keep adding players until they stop paying.

Which team?

Channy already working out with this team.

How can he have a team when there hasn't been a tryout ? Or do you mean he's taking money from suckers like you already.

Those work outs were no charge. Trying to get a feel for what he has. This way he can get a good look at the others at try outs. This allows him to give everyone a look.

What are you his spokesman ? Or his ball licker ?

If you don't think this team is 90% picked already you must be new to all this

In 5th grade , no I do not think so. Maybe 8th grade. And no I'm not new to all this. You must be.

hate to say it but most "elite teams " yes even 5th grade teams are 90% picked all ready with the exception on a few surprises its a done deal

probably

Yea, totally agree on all comments about Chany. Already have private sessions with kids. 30 roster? Yea, I think I will pay the $100 tryout fee know my kid doesn't have a snowballs chance because Chaney has the kids he wants regardless of the outstanding talent out there. So sad and disgusting. Shame on you Coach Channuchuk.

Don't disagree but they have already been picked

The coach is actually going to Igloo too to coach the 2023 team

Team not picked. Where's the defense?

Awful quiet in here. No movement in the 2022 teams. Friends in maryland say the 2022 hawks will be the team to beat this summer

Bring it!! Strong Island will always be the dominant force.

who gives a [lacrosse] about 10 year old lacrosse.Maybe you should get your kid a tutor so he can get into a school on academics. I would bet you didnt go to a good academic school and u really were average in sports so you are living through your child. You are some loser for worrying about 10 yr old lax. Get a life..2022 Hawks in Md you really care about...I have friends that are parents on their team also and they didnt mention anything about being good or bad..You know why? They also are not like YOUR friend..A LOSER also...

Hawks 2022 will have to improve to get past the Diamondbacks and Breakers - then they can worry about the teams up north.

Any idea which MD 2022 teams will be playing in the Greene Turtles Invitational?

A lot of the breakers moved up to 2021 or 13u they will have to rebuild. Hawks have a lot to improve before they say they are an elite team never beaten a top team from Md.
Diamondbacks are still the team to beat at this age in MD. they won the green turtle last year playing up against 2021 teams

Crabs are creating a 2022 team this year and have posted a roster. This is another team that the Hawks (and Diamondbacks) will not likely have an easy time with.

https://leagueathletics.com/Roster.asp?org=baltimorelacrosseclub.net&MyTeam=334862

Did these Crab kids come from the other Baltimore clubs (Breakers, Rock, FCA, Green Turtle, Koopers, Lax World, Looneys, etc.) or mostly they mostly former rec. travel teams?

I have a hard time believing they will be great in their first year when some of these other clubs have been working with their teams for 3 years already.

Actually, Hawks 2022 beat the Breakers during the regular NPYLL season, but lost to them in the NPYLL championship game. Hawks 2022 also beat the Diamondbacks in the MidMaryland Indoor Lacrosse League, but lost to them during the NPYLL season and at Beachlax. So the Hawks really may not have to improve all that much to be an "elite" team.

NLL vs MLL

Different skills. Just as competitive.

Why are we talking Maryland on a North East Lacrosse thread. I know they have very good teams but talk Maryland on their thread. I could not give a Ratsa$$ about them down there

Heard Express Team 1 taking over 30 Kids, If that's true watch out

Watch out for what? Pissed off parents ?

Right? The 1st post went without a comment, so they re-post? Is there a lonely-in-lax hotline for this person?

I was the 2nd poster.. nothing to do with the promotion of the 1st poster... i only felt compelled to reply to the "LOL" comment.

Outlaws were never competitive with Igloo. They played once in the fall. Close game until half time. Second half was not competitive. Igloo won by at least 8 or 9 goals.

Maybe this year. Seems like a few defections from smash. A lot of turmoil with express(as usual), igloo wasn't that good o begin with. If united stays the same they might be team to beat. Outlaws added a few studs so they might be right there. Never know.

Outlaws were never competitive with Igloo. They played once in the fall. Close game until half time. Second half was not competitive. Igloo won by at least 8 or 9 goals.

So they played once. It was the first tournament that the outlaws played together as a team with only a couple of practices. it was a one goal game at halftime and they ended up losing by 5 or 6. And based on that one game you can determine in your infinite wisdom that Outlaws were never competitive with igloo. I am not the person who posted the original quote(though my son plays on the team) but we are talking about last Fall 4 grade Lacrosse.

I know qutie a few of the Igloo families at this age group and always have had a ton or respect for the way you carrried yourselves on and off the field.. But I have got to say reading through some of these posts in different threads that are obvious Igloo parents possting I am wondering what happened.

That's right. They just added my kid.

United definitely not staying the same.... word is their top face off kid defected to TLI .. and several others possibly defecting as well. TLI would be the team to beat. ..assuming the participate in some LI tournaments.

Turmoil with Express? Really that's funny.

Coaches leaving... kids leaving = Turmoil

Real turmoil comes now that Channy is engaged with the younger teams, 30+ kids per team! multiple losing teams just money makers! new kids added all season. Half the team cut next year, always rebuilding. Poor communication, cancelled training etc.

I hope some day his parents find what they are looking for, which is a team that kisses their [lacrosse] his 24/7. This face off boy left Smash and was not missed last year. United will not look back either.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting such a hateful comment about a 10 year old boy! He is an awesome kid with great skills and he will be missed if he does, in fact, leave. And no, I am not one of his parents.

One would hope

Anyway... 2014/2015 season talk

With all these points of fact, half truths and downright nonsense. Should make the first tourney interesting. I think this group will be very tight from teams 1 through 4.

Hope you boys get it together we will be ready

Yup.. i am going to go there... what are a 1 through 4 teams that will be tight ?

Please don't start with the express stuff. They have NEVER beaten any of the above teams. And don't start with the MC coaching nonsense too. Let's put them a little ahead of outlaws and jesters.

Takes a special kind of tool to rate lax teams consisting Of 10 year olds 7 months before lacrosse season starts and before teams have even been formed. Only thing worse than you looking back upon what a tool you were 3 years from now is if you don't think you were a tool. Good luck to all youth lax teams and hopefully one or two gives smash a run for the money and hopefully 1-2 new teams rise to the top through hard work

Stud Fogo??? LOL. You people are NUTS!!!

Let's get this straight: MC is a GREAT teacher of lacrosse. Probably the best around. He is NOT a great coach. There is a difference. He doesn't care enough about all aspects of the game that's why his teams consistently lose these days. Only cares about offense. JS is a better game coach than MC. There are others who are too. Teaching wise he is still the best. Unfortunately for the 2022 team you are all nuts if you think he is going to be a full time coach for that team. Too many other things he's involved with.

First, Igloo has lost a total of 1 time out of about 8 games with United. Igloo is ahead of United. With that said, United is a heck of a good team, and is always getting better.
Second, Team LI is not that impressive. They have 1 or 2 players that can light it up and seem to score the majority of their goals. Coach smart, play smart, neutralize those players and they are just fair. Third, Smash is on a completely different level. Other teams listed cannot compete with them. They are very well balanced.

Teaching wise he is still the best. Unfortunately for the 2022 team you are all nuts if you think he is going to be a full time coach for that team. Too many other things he's involved with.

Well that's why he has the best defensive coach with him as well. And he is an amazing coach and if this team has the athletes, they'll be shaped into great players and will have an elite team. In a month? No. But they will be a worthy opponent to any team.

Stud Fogo??? LOL. You people are NUTS!!!

First, Igloo has lost a total of 1 time out of about 8 games with United. Igloo is ahead of United. With that said, United is a heck of a good team, and is always getting better.
Second, Team LI is not that impressive. They have 1 or 2 players that can light it up and seem to score the majority of their goals. Coach smart, play smart, neutralize those players and they are just fair. Third, Smash is on a completely different level. Other teams listed cannot compete with them. They are very well balanced.

Manhasset Team 32 is better than all those teams with the exception of Smash...

32 are all holdbacks

JS = Stadler? ROTFLMAO

Dont forget GC2022 (Garden City) when talking about top teams at this age group. Very well coached and not one of the boys play on a club team. One thing people forget at this age group its not about winning every game, its about getting better after every practice and every game. Will play against every top 5th grade team this upcoming year. No hold backs.

Best def coach? Are you serious? Guy barely shows up to the tournaments. His teams D routinely are the worst part of the teams they coach together. Wish them good luck with that team.

I don't know if they are hold backs - but can tell you that we were shaking hands with them after a game - 85% of the kids were taller than our kids. Their goalies helmet was only a few inches below the top of the cross bar. Maybe my team is just short.

Can't wait to see GC play against the top teams. Lol
Did they play any of them last year?
Don't think so

Nothing like a GC parent/coach telling everyone that will listen that his sons team is well coache b/c he and his buddies are the coaches. Didn't GC lose regularly to amongst others port Washington, manhasset, CSH and three villages? GC could not hold their own against any top 10 club team. They are not manhasset.

haven't heard anymore talk about the 2022 express team was team picked

gonna be awesome

LOL. No

No GC did not regularly lose against those teams..They won some and lost some...All really good close games...Like i said its not about winning at this age..Its about the kids getting better after every practice and every game.

Must be the HGH regime they are on. They should all be tested for PEDs.

And none of those kids played on a club team bc they are not allowed. How is that special? Tooo many daddies involved that basically just look out for their own kids and their own kid's friends..,, that's why they will never beat any of he big club teams

Why is everyone so hung up on Manhasset? Didn't Kings Park beat them

King Park 5th Grade Rocks !

Outlaws Black is going to be very strong this year. They got some new talent and added a great defensive coach. They will be very competitive and be climbing past Express into the top five club list. Watch

I love these posts. I am sure they'll be better, but Express will be better as well.

Express invites are out and I believe commitments were due. They will only be better if they kept their core group of good players and added some others. Did they?

Manhasset 32 or one of their balanced PAL teams... apples and oranges

obviously not an Outlaw Black parent.

ALL HOLDBACKS..

Why can't you just say Outlaws will be better than last year and call it quits, why say Outlaws will pass any team.
Worst than a child.

Because the poster is not an Outlaw parent - its someone else trying to mix it up on this thread.

Outlaws Black will be better than Smash in 2015!

Cut off is 12/1. If you're born before that date, you are supposed be in older grader (class of 2021). Consensus seems to be that 32 has a lot of kids on its team that were born before 12/31/2003 but parents hold them back and have them in 2022 graduating year for a lacrosse advantage. I guess only

Now that's rich. I've got a bridge, yada yada.

Smash is head and shoulders above the rest of the 2022 teams in LI. Deal with it. Don't talk smack, just beat them and we will all talk about your sons Outlaws Black team. Will that make you feel better?

How do you figure? They have a professional coach assisted by fathers that played D1 college ball, 15+ Winter team and skills training sessions, two weekday practices, Saturday and Sunday games in the spring and 5 summer tournaments for under $1700 all in with no hidden fees. I would like to see the travel teams match that...

Outlaws black will be competitive and play in a Brackets, Not better than smash. Its easy to see that this is a disgruntled outlaw parent(kid did not make team) or a smash parent

Really? always thought it was 9/1...

Sect. 1: Age of Contestants
A student who has reached the age of 19 on or after September 1st may represent the school in any interscholastic athletic contest during that school year.

If a kid is a late developer, do you send him to school anyway? Or are we being petty here...only for lacrosse, really now?

And by the way, you are misinformed on the 2022 team as well. They have played and beaten the teams you mentioned above and tied Manhasset 32 during the spring. They also played and beat a few LI travel teams this year as well. Let's keep in mind they are only 10 years old and there is a lot of lacrosse to be played over the next 7 years.

Wasn't GC 2022 daddy coaches fall, winter, spring?

Sounds like good value to me. Especially when you consider the long winning tradition that the GC program has enjoyed.

Sounds like bitter grapes opining here. Town vs Club tournament teams. To each their own I guess. But if you have a solid program, good coaches (including D1/D3 dads) and don't have to travel all over the place, what's wrong with that?

I would say that is awesome.. our school district is small - we field two PAL teams - but talent is spread thin. We are battling for kids to play Lacrosse - but many choose Baseball and Basketball instead..

GC, keep doing it the right way, and collect the hardware when it counts.

2022 is a talented age group in LI, we should all just let the 10 year olds play and have fun.

My sons team played GC over the summer, no rwl standouts on that team, some decent atheletes but better off they play in town as I don't think anyone on that team makes a top 5 club team. Who knows they are still young but I see some manhasset kids that I think could play on any club team. Best of luck to the GC kids, keep practicing and have fun.

Just because someone played lacrosse in colllege , it doesn't automatically mean they are a good coach. Especially, at this age.

2022 town rankings (my opinion after my sons team play alot of teams):

1. Smithtown
2. Manhasset
3. CSH
4. Kings Park
5. Northport
6. Garden City
7. Port Washington
8. Farmingdale
9. Three Villages
10. Harborfields

That's interesting because 11 of those boys were on Igloo the year before and decided to leave to play for their town for the next 8 years instead....

Did your son play their PAL team or their "A" travel team? Big difference...

Watch out for the GC mafia...they can find you

What towns are putting in an "A" Team in Nassau 5th grade PAL next year? Just asking because my town is thinking about doing it this year.

RVC will play division 3.. baggers

Unfortunately the guy who runs RVC PAL makes them split the teams evenly. Nobody is happy about it. They have been trying to change it for years. So yes both teams will probably be in division 3 again.

Interesting rating of Kings Point. They lost the the Levittown Tomahawks A Town Team.

Hawks 2022 will have to improve to get past the Diamondbacks and Breakers - then they can worry about the teams up north.

Any idea which MD 2022 teams will be playing in the Greene Turtles Invitational?

What's teams from NY going to GT invite

Rumor has it that a few good Long Island teams are heading down for the Fall Greene Turtle. I have not hears any details though.

SWR doesn't compete in tournaments at the A club level. Maybe town level. If you are talking about PAL games, you are comparing apples & oranges.

True. Good team, just not enough top level players to compete against the larger districts.

How is Smithtown the best they have lost to 5 of those teams every time they play?

Team Smithtown is better than 32???

No, it doesn't automatically mean they are good coaches. But when you say "especially at this age", I assume you mean being able to deal with and relate to kids. I would argue most dads are infinitely more qualified to deal with young kids than any recent college or high school graduate.

Just because a coach may also be a players dad, it shouldn't disqualify that coach as being a good, competent, apolitical coach.

As long as that father subs his kid out and everyone gets their fair share of playing time. Big if

There is a free impromptu workout/tryout tomorrow for this age group at 5:45 pm 3000 bellmore ave for an established team looking to round out roster with 2-3 spots open. Questions call or text 516-882-3436.

what was with the cops at Jester tryouts?

I was at 2022 jester try outs. Didn't see any cops! Lol

Was about 50 players. Decent talent. Bunch of igloo kids. Some 91 and express. Lots of jester helmets as well.

talent at jesters was ok not as good as 91 or express tryouts..i think saw 2 igloo helmets.

supposedly there was guy handing out flyers about RN saying he was a crook..I didnt see it but was what i heard..

Perfect. Love third hand gossip. If you didn't see why would you possibly be on here. I was there at 2018 tryouts when it happened and the guy was crazy.

Wasn't at 91 but same to better as express. There were at least 6 kids from igloo that we knew. Not sure if playing or not but were at tryouts.

It was easy to see a few of the boys stood out as being very good, a number of the boys were solid, and then their were some boys that were not very strong.

I am relatively new to this and have been to a few 2022 tryouts and it seems like there is a lot of talent at this age. Also from what I have gathered on here and talking to people there will be many very strong team, both 91's, Team LI, Express, Outlaws, Igloo, Jesters. Maybe 2-3 will be better than the rest but with so many tournaments to play in I am sure all of these clubs will find good competition and win a few. Seems to me like a real positive for LI lacrosse. Maybe there are too many teams and the talent is watered down a little but all in all if your kid is good seems you can find a good team. I would like to hear some thoughts on whether a 2022 kid is better off being one of the top players on an A-/B+ team or being one of the worst players on an A/A+ team.

At this age I would want my son to be on the A-/B+ team so that he gets a lot of reps and builds his confidence. Plus there will a lot be less pressure on him to perform as compared to if he is the least skilled player on the A+ team. Let's remember that they are only 10 so they have plenty of lacrosse to play in front of them before it really starts to matter from a recruiting perspective. Just my two cents...

It's the coaching. You want a coach that will raise a players lax IQ. It is that simple. Who is the best coach and go there.

2022 coach is very negative and scared kids away. Have you seen this guy on the sideline? All he does is yell and this makes kids scared to play.

Who are you talking about????

Which team?

Jesters, for the most part, attracts nassau chest pounding, tatted up, tank top and jean shorts wearing guido's. Let "strong island" unite under the Jesters banner...have at it...

My son will play on Jesters this year.. i am not aware of anyone from either Northport or Harborfields who made the team.

Manhasset 5

Northport
Levittown

Let me guess this is the guy who's pulling all the strings behind the scenes with this team. Please stop everyone knows who you are. You got your son his spot(after 2 years) I hope it works out for you. But judging by the performance at the tryouts, it's not going to. Please stop bashing people. There is a lot that can be said about what your actions were. You don't want your dirty laundry aired.

how do you hide behind anonymous posts and speak about a coach and the way he treats kids. My son plays for the coach you are trying to drag through the mud and has had nothing but a positive experience. Usually the hate is spread to cover for the fact that YOUR son could not play at the level that was expected. If you are going to say such negative things about a coach ,do us all a favor and put your name on it... just my two cents

I think reference is being made to Express 2022 A-team and a particular dad/kid who didnt even play for team last year but played year before. Could be wrong, though...

Don't know yet. Tryouts aren't finished and teams haven't been finalized. We should all know more about fall tournaments in the next couple of weeks.

91 going to GT ? Igloo?

7. Port Washington
8. Farmingdale
9. Three Villages
10. Harborfields

Did your son play their PAL team or their "A" travel team? Big difference...

SWR beat half those teams; tied a few; and only lost to KP based on that list. Where do you have them ranked?

I heard Smithtown lost their best player, will drop below Harborfields if its true

Port 2022 beat up on Manhasset and Garden City so not sure where you are getting your information

Did Smash 2022 add any new kids?

Smash added at least three new players. It seems that all the top teams at this age group have improved. There is a lot of talent in this age group. Going to be fun watching all these teams continue to develop. Good Luck to all!!!! Enjoy it while you still can. They grow up too fast!!!!

Which tournament is GT ?

PAL or travel team? Big difference between both. If you are talking travel teams, then you are the one that is misinformed.

My Town is thinking about doing an "A" team for Nassau PAL 2022. What towns will be putting in an A team For Nassau PAL 2022 this Spring. If towns mentioned above do it it would be an awesome league.

Yes, that's the one. Looks like it's fun. 3-game roundrobin at McDonough HS.

Bethesda won U11A this past Summer at GT. I think Team Igloo was just about the only team that beat them this past year (2x).

It was probably Igloo 2021 team. Big difference in talent level between Igloo 2021 and 2022 teams.

Bethesda U11A was in the weaker division of the NPYLL in the spring and did ok. They lost one season game to a team in the other division (dbacks) and lost in 1st round of playoffs (hawks). Breakers won the whole thing, so there are 3 teams that are probably better just in NPYLL.

Bethesda also had a U11AA team that won it all (Blue) and was one who won GT after being down big at halftime.

I think the Arden Diamondbacks 2022 team is the Md team to beat at this age level - coincidentally, they won GT U11B in a field that had a lot of 2021's.

Not connected to any them and this is just little kids sports, so no chest pumping here, but I respect good lacrosse teams even at younger levels.

That sounds right. Bethesda U11AA dominated - don't know if anyone really tested them in NPYLL. They were undefeated and beat Hawks in championship 13-8.

Dbacks 2022 is always good, but has stumbled in the NPYLL playoffs the past two years.

To be the best in DC-Balt-Annapolis, you have to win the NPYLL.

From the looks of thing Igloo 2022 should be very good this year lots of really good talent though we will see .

Smash is going to be better than last year. Added some very talented players. I think the gap between them and everybody else just got bigger.

United is also going to be better. I won't won't be surprised if they are not the 2 top teams in this age group. They played this year at NXT with Smash winning a tight one 6-4.

Is igloo playing the GT tournament in maryland this fall ? Looking for extra scrimmage games?

Where are the 3 Smash players that were replaced going to play?
Igloo? United? Jesters? TLI?
Im sure that they will make the other 2022s better

Every team added players this year

were are the replacements going? Smash isnt carrying a 25-28 roster size

Probably never left

Who cares about the new smash players. What are your one of their parents trying to promote him. Good for him for making it , so STFU and wait till the season starts.

WOW. Just resopnding to the question "Did Smash add any new players this year?" And promoting him would require a name dumb [lacrosse]

I am going to take a guess and say that the poster is talking about PAL... I believe PW has one PAL team - whereas GC and Manhasset both have 3-4 equal teams... so when either one of those towns combine into one team i don't think that PW will be beating up on them.

GC tournament team beat PW tournament team at St Paul's in May by several goals. PW has 2 really good middies and not much else. That's not going to work. But it's all good. We like playing each other and nice parents on both sides.

You are such a tool. You know nothng about our team but thanks for complimenting my son. [lacrosse]

I saw a list on here a few weeks back of 2022 PAL Ranking... some of those teams play in Suffolk PAL while others play in Nassau PAL.. it would be awesome to get them all in one league... but due to location - it won't happen.. like 3 Village going to play GC or Manhasset... just too far to drive.. so there will be some matchups that we just wont see. Would love to see TEAM SMITHTOWN take on MANHASSET at full strength for both teams.

Haters hate success. When you win as much as GC has over its long and storied history, it becomes an easy target for the ignorant haters.

Look - you know it and I know it... 91 did not develop the talent that they have - they attracted the best young players and that's why they are so good... other teams will catch up as kids mature and develop.. 91 just started with all the athletic kids and were early to the game. The gap between SMASH and all other teams will close a bit this year. But they are likely still # 1 in the 2022 age group. TLI is not far behind.. i would rank them higher than Express and Igloo for sure based upon the talent that they have on the roster. With all the turnover that Express had - who knows where they will shake out.

It was not close. TLI-Igloo the day before was not close either. TLI won by about 8 goals.

TLI beat express last spring 14-3.

Ha! No such thing. I love town programs that convince the parents they are club teams. And if you play club you're made to feel like an outcast or if you are good they look the other way. Go read team Smithtowns Power Point on their site.

We don't need to read anyone's power point. Smithtown program is solid top to bottom. And nobody is calling kids or parents outcasts. There happens to be many solid town teams in the 2022 year. Maybe they don't always win in tourney play, but they compete at a high level.

There are benefits to both town and club travel.

Express is irrelevant in the conversation of top club teams now. 5th best? Did you ever imagine express would fall so far? 91 is by far the top club team on Long Island now. Express is falling down the ladder. I know, here comes the college commitment talk. See how that pans out in the future. No good teams equals no good recruits. Future not bright for this organization.

Who the heck are you to determine the pecking order? new teams, new coaches, new everything - many changes made for most teams. you. know. nothing.

What are you disputing out of this order? Seems to me the poster has it right. I have a son on one of these teams, and not one of the better ones. Played all the above teams. That order is exactly how I would have ranked them. But like the poster said; we will see how it plays out. Preseason rankings. You. Know. Nothing.

I didn't post the above, but I think it is accurate. All these teams played each other only a few months ago. Smash picked up some very good players and so did United. Express lost some of their best players from last year (defense and Middie). I heard that Igloo also picked up some good players. TLI is very good but they play nobody. The rest are far 10 - 15 goals behind.

Team Smithtown fee $1400! Pure money and power grab! Do they have good teams, yes. Coaching, not so much. Its a big school district which helps them create good teams. Your crazy if you pay that for town team.

You use the word "town" team as though it means inferior. Team Smithtown can compete with most "travel" teams. And Manhasset 32's "Town" team smoked almost all the "travel" teams last year except Smash. I don't know what 32 charges, but I bet it's a lot less than $3500!

I heard a bunch of 32 kids left for IGLOO! Not that it matters

Not true, although most 32 kids could make Igloo.

32 kids are all holdbacks

GC 1700 for 8 practices and a tournament. Not the best value either

Igloo beat United 2 out of 3 times last season- one loss was at 91 tournament where refs are paid by 91.

Not true at all.

The GC travel team will have a professional coach, 15+ winter team and skills training sessions, two weekday practices, Saturday and Sunday games in the spring, two weekday practices and 5 tournaments in the summer for under $1700 all in with no hidden fees and most of it in our own backyard.

Really ? You think the refs were paid to make United win ? What about Laxfest ? Isn't that 91 run ? Where was the second time igloo won ?

We don't have any holdbacks on '32 - we just grow them big in our school district.

Are u kidding? Igloo has beaten United every time they have played with the exception of this past year's Shamrock Shootout. The one ref was so ridiculous in his calls I literally have never seen anything like it. United is way too good a team to count that as a win. They saw what was taking place. United is a very very good team. As of now, Igloo is better. Anything can happen this year.

By the way, they played 3 times last year, Halloween Havoc, Shamrock Shootout, and Lax Fest. Igloo won 2. They also played approximately 4 times the year before, with Igloo easily winning all 4. We will see what happens this year. Heard the United face off kid is gone. He was good.

So your going back to 3rd grade ? Some memory. I guess you forgot that they were merely 8 yrs old then. Not to mention a lot of different kids too. I wouldn't say the refs were horrible in that game. It's just your lunatic coach kept having hissy fits kicking cones crying his team wasn't getting calls. So we lost the FO kid but picked up another.

You obviously have never played lacrosse nor know the rules of the game to make that statement. The ref missed every call that would benefit Igloo, and literally made up calls to benefit United. Again, United is too good a team to consider that a win. One day you will beat Igloo fairly. That was not the day. I'll give you that Igloo's coach's frustrations definetly led the ref to make additional bad calls. But please, United's coaches are some of the biggest tools out there.

United Coach's are tools, Really. If you recall the Igloo coach got kicked out of the game not United. His actions during that game were embarrassing and what is wrong with youth sports today. United Coach's are still coaching and the parents couldn't be happier, while Igloo had to get a new coach, so really who is the tool?

TLI "B" team ranks right behind just about all the town teams. Was that a serious question!

Faceoff Kid is on his 3rd team in 3 years. My money is that he will be on his 4th next year. The kid is good but the father is a loon. My guess is Express. Once Chaney seems him play he will start making calls and stroke the father's ego.

Have to strongly disagree here. United coaches and players were all class each time we have played them.

Express.

Its not even close. I know Express A had some turnover but they are far, far ahead of Team Long Island B.

How will express compare to igloo, united and TLI "A" then. Any thoughts?
We all know they are not in smash's class.

The Express did not turnover, they completely upgraded every spot. Point is, I am sure everyone improved and the games should be competitive.

Express did not turnover - but they upgraded every spot ? Isnt that Turnover ? Bottom Line - Express is an "UNKNOWN" at this point.... SMASH will need to play in the 2022 Age Group if they don't then - lets not even include them in the conversation... if they keep winning in the 2021 group they are clearly the best.

"Completely upgraded..." Oh please!

Smash is at another level than all other 2022 teams. Even if United, Express & TLI combined their best players it still would not be challenge. Keep practicing!

What your kid's in 5th? Get some perspective- it's a long road ahead - learn to have some humility - it will serve you better in the long run.

They are very good at every postion. And they have superior coaching. Might take them some time to gel, and who cares if the teams of chest pumper parents beat them now and then. The team is on the right course and will be very good.

Who ever said Smash wasn't the best team? The team is the best 2022 team on LI, nobody disputes that. Feel better.

What makes you think they have superior coaching? I've seen a lot of MC teams play. Plenty of talent but they don't put it together on the field. MC is a great teacher of lacrosse. His style of play does not work well in game situations. You've been sold on him as a teacher, not a game winner. And there is a big difference between the two. You will see. I've had 3 kids play for him. His system just does not work. Again I will say that he is a GREAT teacher of lacrosse. Just don't expect to win any tournaments. This is not the express of old. There are more than five or so clubs to beat now.

Yes, I am sure Express will easily handle Smash this year. NOT!

You must be new to the express team. We know you added new players and MC is the coach now, but every other team has added players also. Some of your best players last year went to other teams. You have never beaten smash igloo or united. What makes you think you are the team to beat? A town team beat you last year. Concentrate on beating jesters and legacy before you worry about the big boys. Smash by far the best team and the te to beat.

You know it and the truth is painful... Express is looking good... getting better every day and will prove it this Fall.

I'm sure they look great in practice. Reality is , nothing proven in fall tournaments. No one cares and real athletes play multiple sports!

Good luck with rebuilding year!

Ok.. Thanks ! But if you are a SMASH parent you should lobby for your team to play in 2022 so you can truly say you are #1.

I agree with that, smash should start playing 2022. Prove themselves. Only beat united 6-4. United barely beat express. Igloo beat united. I really wish smash would play everyone routinely, I bet they'd lose a few. But that would ruin the mystique. Better to play 2021 "B" brackets.

2022 A teams are better than 2021 B teams

Please stop. Smash has never lost to a 2022 Long Island team. They've lost once on grade ever and it was to a MD team two summers ago. Smash came back to beat that same team this past summer.

Maybe Smash could have played 2022 Igloo, Express, or United at Lax Fest but unfortunately those teams were too busy losing to the Manhasset town team. The same Manhasset team that Smash beat by 10+ goals in the final.

Please enjoy your own kids' teams instead of coming here to tear down a very good team of 10 year olds because they choose to challenge themselves by playing up.

I think the poster means as the teams get older the competition balances out. You can't really think Smash will continue to play up . The other 2022 teams will close the gap this year and even closer next. You must not think they will match the talent and success Crush has experienced. If so you are crazy. Not taking anything away from 10 year old boys but being honest

4 practices under your belt and $300 under MC pillow. lol

Question: what was the score the last time smash played united?
Like everyone is saying, the gap is closing rapidly. Don't panic, you had a nice run. Everyone will always remember how great that smash team was when everyone was 8-9-10 years old. Express added a lot of studs this year. This could be the year. United came close this year. This could be the year. Igloo always in the mix. There's been a lot of chatter about some other clubs also.

6-4. And before that it was 12-1. And TLI which was the hot team on these boards last year was 8-2 at NXT. I guess we'll see at Halloween Havoc. I hope these teams show up.

Not that I disagree, but just wondering why you think another team will not have the success that Crush has. What is it that Crush has that other teams will not be able to replicate? I do believe Smash to be a very good team. The more success you have, the more you attract better players. The closer to recruiting years, the more those players want on to be on THE team- no?

YES... my point exactly - that is why EXPRESS will continue to impress.

Crush has three or four absolutely dominant players that take over the game, never come off the field and account for 90%+ of the offensive production. They blow out everyone and never have close games against teams their own age. Smash has many close games and no dominant players that can take over a game. They're good for their age, the best around, but they can't carry Crush's jock.

Not a Crush parent but I would have to think a coach plays a big part. Like him or not JS is prob the best around. I've played against The Smash and they don't have players like Crush did two years ago. Sorry to burst your bubble. Se u at HH.

So Sal & co aren't good coaches? Get off! Smash has great coaching and players. My only issue is with the nutty parents on the sideline. Apart from the parents, 2022 91 Smash & United all class. Solid, classy coaches & kids. It's just a shame the parents don't get the memo.

I agree... So well coached and super nice kids... Parents are off thei rocker!!

Before we start comparing Smash to Crush or any other elite team Smash should try winning a tournament in Maryland. Smash barely wins tournaments while crush rolls through. Smash has lost games in their own age Crush never has

They may all be the same grade level, but they certainly are not the same age.
It's a joke how people hold their kids back just to win at what was supposed to be a U-10 level last year.

You brag about playing up all the time then you complain about losing to the same grade team(2022) cause they were older. Stop. Smash is losing it's hold on the title and the smash daddy's are getting worried they won't be able to say little Johnny plays on the best team anymore. Getting caught up to real quick. Please play your age this year on Long Island. Let's see how it plays out. And not against the little guys either.

Uh. Smash doesn't have a kid named Johnny on the team.

Is this really a conversation? Adults debating over whose best in the world of 10 year old travel lacrosse

GET a LIFE!

Nothing to debate-its not breaking news which team dominates and Scoreboard never lies

"Scoreboard" -- that brings back memories from when UNC used to come to Cameron Indoor. If they were ever winning late in the game, the UNC kids would all start yelling "Scoreboard." We'd tell them that their dads were all fired.

Let's get back to lacrosse discussions. Calm, respectful tones, nice words. You know, set a GOOD example for our kids.

Well said. The Havoc is in two weeks. Who from this group is playing.

Well I guess no 2022's are playing! Smash against united final. This time united wins. Just a prediction.

Lighten up Francis! It's assuming Smash & United actually do end up in the final. And let's face it, 91/Rockstar Lax works the tourney schedule to make that happen.

That being said, these are clearly the #1 & 2 2022 club teams in LI coming out of the 2014 season. Any educated lax dad/mom/fan would know that if they saw how the 2022 tourneys played out.

Good luck to your (son's?) team, mister sensitive. Perhaps you're an Outlaw mom or dad?

TLI best team in 2022. Added new players. Watch out. Beat igloo and united and express last year. Smash will be next.

Yes, people knock TLI because they don't play on some tournaments but obviously what they do work. Beat Igloo easily and United also. Who is Express?

This is not a knock. Team Long Island White is an excellent team, definitely above United, Igloo and Express. Until they beat Smash they are not the best. My question is how do we consider them a 2022 team when they have from my understanding a couple of 2021's? They play U based not grade based because of that. So you are talking about them in the wrong thread.

If like you say 91 manipulates the schedule I'm sure they can arrange a meeting at Havoc in 2 weeks. That way you guys can beat smash early and have the entire year to tell all of your friends. Hope to see you there.

Don't forget they also needed overtime in the semis at NXT to beat a team smash beat by 10 goals only to get blown out by Smash in the finals.

This is obviously not a TLI parent but some idiot trying to stir the pot. Yes we did beat igloo last year and added some very good players. No we did not beat united last year because we never played them. We also lost to an outstanding Smash team 8-2. I think with the talent we added and our boys playing how they are capable we should give them a better game this year. Stop spreading lies and trying to start trouble. We don't come here and brag or talk crap about other programs. These boys are 10 years old for Christ sake.

what color are your jerseys again? completely forgot due to the low profile and lack of anything memorable

NXT teams are bad

Don't forget the same team TLI beat in overtime to face Smash in the finals beat United the day before. I believe the team was Mesa Fresh. They were very good but no team was in the same class as Smash that weekend.

Remember this 2022. TLI will beat Smash this season and distance themselves from the rest! It's our year.

That remains to be seen. The question is is TLI a true 2022 or do they have a few 2021 sprinkled in???

Smash is the best 2022 team in the world. We could beat every 2021 team and most 2020 teams. We are unstoppable. See how easy that was. Idiots.

As of right now they are playing in the Legacy tournament in East Islip on Columbus day and the Mustang tournament in Mt. Sinai in November. I'm not sure about Halloween havoc. I'll ask my friend who has a kid on the team.

Express will be at Legacy, Havoc and Mustang. I guess TLI will be at the Mustang, it's in their backyard.

There are no TRUE 2022 teams in MARYLAND that will beat SMASH. The only way to beat Smash will be to load the other team with 5-7 2021 kids... like many teams from outside of NY do.

Don't change the subject.. 91 is a elite club - but how could it be that UNITED has not had one practice yet?

Ok so let's rate a team on how many practices they have had ? From what I've seen they need a lot more than that.

Wow Mr. Express Dad , you seem to know a lot about United ?

Aren't you a little concerned that your team has not gotten together yet for a practice? Most other 2022's have had several. Especially with some new kids on the team. Don't you want to see if the team can gel?

Not sure what the above poster is referring to. Express 2022 both Team 1 and Team 2 have practiced since early September, pretty sure well before other clubs. Not that practices is revelant so have so many if not attending all fall tournamets. As well that many of the lax kids are also in their football, baseball, soccer, etc season now. Let the boys enjoy and finish their seasons. Thei are 10 year old boys, no rush. Too many hothead dads on these forums. You have all lost your marbles with rushing these boys. Let them enjoy the sport of Lacrosse so they dont end up hating it later in life. Enough with club bashing, many are false statements made by angry parents. Lets preserve these forums for the knowledgeable of the clubs.

We have the best coach , I have no doubt they will gel.

If they are not planning on playing in the Fall- there is no reason to jump into practice just yet. 91 finished their try outs weeks after Express, so feasibly, Express was able to start early September. I would gather if a team was worried about how they did in choosing kids, they would want to practice. if they are confident in their kids, they do not feel the pressure to jump in and see what they got and what they still need to get. Some teams have started and some have not- your best athletes are usually muli sport players- they probably are on football or soccer. Does not make a lot of sense to hold practices if the whole team cannot be there. I am sure things will pick up for all the teams when it is time to get going. I doubt United is overly concerned.

Seriously? Why? Do you think a top 2022 team suddenly is going South because they have not held a practice? You tried out for a summer tournament team. Any extra may or may not be with your full team. If your kid made this team he is in good hands and with good company. You might get a practice going and be missing 7-8 players and not get a full picture of the team or how they'll gel. Apparently 91 is offering Fall practices now, but you cannot be guaranteed that everyone is interested in doing so. This madness to start practice 2 weeks after rosters are finalized is driven by a fear of having to keep up with the Jones. Your son made a great team, I don't think it has changed so drastically from last year that you need to panic.

Which 2022 Maryland teams will beat Smash?

Probably can start with cockeysville who beat them last year at brine beach lax.

They were a U11 team. The poster asked about 2022.

They where a 2022 team

Interesting because they were playing in a 9/10 bracket along with smash and united.

Get over it already. Let the boys play. What? Did Cockeysville have a few 11/2003 kids on the roster? You lost to a better team. Deal with it.

Interesting Smash playing in a 9/10 bracket. What is your point?

Smash was a u10 (2022) team that lost to a u11 team in a u11 bracket. It's not an excuse. Those are called facts.

You won't have the same face-off rules this year to bail you out....The diamondbacks are a superior team.

That remains to be seen.

So according to these posts smush has lost twice in the last two years. If true the smush parents must be getting nervous the way they are defending the smush name. The level of play in that age bracket is leveling out quickly. Interesting year this summer will be

Smash has a few new players this year. We are only getting stronger and added depth. Se you at Havac. Hope the coaches let the boys run up the score!

Whose going to be at Havoc? It seems like teams are avoiding it this year. They say it's because they are fed up with 91 run tournaments. But it's probably more that after yapping how good they are they don't want start the year off by getting their butts kicked by Smash and United.

You do realize that Smash plays a grade up because there is no competition in the age group!

Well said. A couple of teams in particular come to mind.

When are you people going to get over the havoc tournament? It is not the end-all be-all of or all tournaments which is why certain teams do not want to play in it. There are better tournaments out there get over it. Stop flattering yourselves and realize that there are other reasons why teams do not play in havoc.if you respond to this with a smart [lacrosse] comment one can only assume that you are either stirring up trouble or are a 91 parent

Bawk Bawk

I have a novel idea, all of the teams rebel and forfeit their games against Smash and United. Then they can not come on the forum and beat their hairless chest and brag that they are the best. If there are no Long Island teams that will play them, how can they claim their so called title?

No Competition in the age group??? All teams this year will be DIFFERENT...the pecking order will not be same as last year... I see that tons of quality players have entered the club scene this year. If you believe SMASH will be tops for ever - then this must be your only child to play club lacrosse. Kids develop / kids move on. Get Over Yourself

I have a kid this age so I read the 2022 stuff. But I have an older kid and I have been down this road before. This all means nothing now. Let the kids have fun and stop worrying so much about this. Plenty of time for that later. Trust me.

You people are off your rockers. I bet if you funneled half the energy you spend on this cowardly nonsense into something productive you may actually earn a pay raise. So keep posting hate and venom towards 10year old kids, and keep forcing your kid to do [lacrosse] he doesnt want to do all so you can get a $7 tee shirt that says "Champs" on it. One day you will wake up and realize what waste of time this all is. Oh and United has practice today for those of you worried about what they are doing, come watch them at Farmingdale U.

Not true.. many chose to leave - good players.

Come on, be truthful you know some of the best players left on their own. Didn't get cut. Don't sugarcoat it. That's the truth.

Well part 1 of all this my team is better than yours lifts off Monday. Express is playing TLI at the Legacy Columbus Tourney. They also play Legacy.

1-1 in head to head play. Far from superior. Truthfully they should play each other more, both teams would benefit. Faceoff kids have already made the adjustments, new rules won't slow them down. See you in the summer.

Top 5 2022 LI teams this season:
1 Smash

Ugh here we go again

I would argue

1 Yellow Jackets
2 Lax for Hope
3 Christ The King
4 Temple Beth Torah (although they are a u11 team)
5 Igloo

We will see how express does against TLI this weekend. If they beat them they move up. If they don't they stay a #5. They are not jumping united till they beat them. Stop. What they added is not as good as what was lost. TLI added a bunch if new players including the best faceoff kid in 2022. Tough to beat.

Priceless. Exchanges like this justify reading BOTC just by themselves.

I am pretty sure he already left her.

I am pretty sure he's a guy who controls his wife's every move and she cooks him three square meals a day. I'm sure he also spends lots of time online living vicariously through everyone else, including his son.

Right? Looks like I hit a nerve with this loser. He's probably feeling really bad about himself right about now and cracking open his third beer from the recliner- too out of shape to keep up with his kid. Nice mouth buddy. See you on the field-I should be able to pick you out pretty easily! Get your buzz cut and tank tops ready!!

You must be new to the team.

Not true.. many chose to leave - good players.

If that's what you believe... it must be true.

There was only one kid that left that was really good. The rest will be all better being taught the game by the current coaches.

We all know who this poster is. You have no idea what they lost from last year because you weren't on the team. Stop . Everyone associated with this team knows you and is tired of your antics.

Too funny! BUT probably true. Most know who the culprit referred to is....kind of embarrassing for him actually under the circumstances.
Truth is that several former Express 2022 Minutemen actually tried out and were invited BACK to Express. HOWEVER, several declined and moved on. So, NO, it is not because they did not make the cut, IT IS because they CHOSE not participate with that organization any longer. TRUTH. Ouch... the TRUTH hurts!

Stop the nonsense already paesono. Let the kids play and let the coaches coach and choose teams without meddling.

Am I correct that this game was morning? So you raced off the field, zipped home and posted this? Or did you post it from your smartphone at the field? This team could be the best in the country and I would want no part of it with parents like this.

A "statement" win. A classic "statement" for 10 year old lacrosse. You can't make this stuff up.

What tournament did Minutemen play TLI? What was the score?

Score was 9-6 and was not posted by an Express parent. I have been reading all the crap posted here by people from every which team and posted this to show everyone that all the talk in the world means nothing. The games are played on the field. Funny thing is you hide behind your anonymous posts, say stuff about coaches, parents and players of the teams that have no merit. Then when someone posts something that is factual like a game score that disputes your nonsense that person either needs to get a life or is a loser. They are 10 years old, shut up and let them play...

Hey buddy, if you posted the score of the 10 year old Express-TLI game today just after it ended and don't have a kid on the team then it's even more pathetic that a parent posting the score.

Yah "The Real Deal" Thats Hysterical - See you in the spring

3village beat express? What score

Actually express 2022 did beat 3 village today, and I believe the score was 9-3 EXPRESS.

No 3 village lost to express 2022 9-3

How about see you in high school when it actually matters.

Express have to be older. Hold backs. Only ones not cheating is Team LI. The whole country is cheating.

Very happy with how Express looked today. We added a bunch of new kids and already are playing real well together. The game with TLI was a great game. I believe the final was 10-7 but it was back and forth most of the game. The kid playing from behind for TLI was pretty much their whole offense. I thought express played great team lax today and moved the ball well.

Legacy Columbus Day Tourney at East Islip Marina. Decent club showing for an early tourney (Igloo, Express, Outlaws).

So I guess winning (fill in tournament here) is better then winning the state tournament for your high school. You are out of your mind. Try winning one or two, and I can tell you from experience that you will never forget that feeling. By the way not everyone gets recruited. Have fun and get a good grades, #1 way to get recruited!

Dumbest statement I've heard yet... Do you know how many "committed" kids I've seen fall off by senior year? And how many "B" level kids turn into recruited players? Wake up people.

How many D1 commits does Smash have already?

Not sure - but i think that I saw a few D1 coaches talking to Express 1 kids after their victories yesterday. There is a new world order my friends.

Parents of Smash should worry more about their kids grades than their lax weekends with RED cups..Little Johnny will hate lacrosse by 8th grade because of their parents involvement..Have kids play other sports for cross training and get them a tutor...Dont count on $ from D1 schools...

Correction. We use ORANGE cups to match our fly Smash gear.

And once again we do not have any kid named Johnny on the team.

OK My son plays multiple sports and luckily doesn't need a tutor at this point. Thank you for your parental advice, but I'll manage my own family thanks. P.S. I'm 22 years without a red cup thank you for the support

Congrats. on 22 years. now go have a ginger ale

You just do not get it! Smash boys are not just athletes, they are potential scholars. To play at our level you need to have lax IQ.. They have endless potential in both sports and academics.

Wow....this is one the most idiotic statements ever on this forum. These truly exceptional smash players are not only the greatest players ever to put on a lax uniform, they are also the smartest 5th graders on the planet!!! It must take extreme brilliance to pick up the very complex sets on both offense and defense that are installed for the smash team. All will be Rhodes scholars and all American lacrosse players. Probably have a plan to solve world peace also.

How did TLI lose with the best faceoff kid?

The faceoff X was not a factor in this game. It was 50/50 if I had to guess and no team had the quick pop fast breaks. The game was won with offensive execution. Express moved the ball better and created more scoring chances. The TLI goalie is the best I have seen at the age. He kept it a one goal, back and forth game.

Ground ball game was clearly the difference since that's where the ball spent most of its time.

I agree. Faceoffs were a non factor and in fact I thought we won about 75% of them. There goalie was outstanding and the kid playing attack from x was killing us until we locked him out. Both teams will be good I just thought ours was better. I promise you express will make some noise this year.

Last year is irrelevant. New season and while self proclaimed elite teams only added 2nd and 3rd line players, all others added starters.

Smash and express will never meet. Smash will duck them. At laxfest smash will play nobody and express will play igloo united and anyone else that is good.

This a request for Sal to make time this weekend at Havac and put together a pick-up game against Express. Smash needs to put Express in their place.

lol, i'm sure all these posts are 91 parents posting as Express parents and vice versa, just trying to stir the pot, and that goes for every thread on BOTC.

This list is CRAP! Express got better but not that much! Both 91 teams would kill them and I will bet the Outlaws Black would probably beat them too!!

Yep, Smash is known for ducking opponents. That's why they went all the way to PA to find and beat TLI last year by a wide margin.

Outlaws black not in that class yet. Stop stirring the pot. They have improved a lot. Leave it at that. Express and the two 91 teams would handle them easily right now. Igloo on the other hand and TLI have regressed.
Smash
Express
United
TLI
Igloo
Outlaws
Legacy

A wide margin? 6-2. That's 4 goals. Express just beat them 10-7. That's 3 goals. Not much difference there. And this was the 1st time express played together. Only 4-5 players back from last year. I'm pretty sure TLI didn't have much turn over. Pretty impressive win for express. Heads up!! Looks like express making a comeback at the younger grades.

Check your facts. It was 8-2 and not that close.

My son didn't make Igloo but there's no way Express is better than them. They are a better team this year than last. Express talks to much trash.

The guy is very good at what he does. Advice to all you travel people. Best part of this team is that it isn't a dad/coaching scene. This 2022 team is getting top level professional instruction at every practice and it shows. Where this team is in one month is awesome. If you turned down a spot on this team, you have made a huge mistake. Not saying we'll be the best or rank them or whatever. Just saying that the boys on this team will be some the best players on LI in the coming years, because of the instruction they are getting now. They will be at Brine, NXT, Jake Reed, etc. And you know what so will the Smash kids, and some Igloo kids, etc, etc... Hopefully they all enjoy it and play other sports and become great student athletes.

If Express is that good why didn't they blow out the town team that was there. I think the score was around 7-3 Express?

You are so high and mighty this year when you think you are in the rankings. Express did not beat any of the top teams last year. If you win the other competitive teams this year then Smash may play at age. Until then Express is not even in their thoughts. We have move on until you catch up and make it worth looking back.

Actually the final score was 9-3 and that was only because the refs missed 2 extra goals we made. And our boys held onto the ball for the last 2 mins and didn't shoot, because if they didn't hold onto the ball, I'm sure we would've beaten them atleast 15-3.

There are hardly any dad coaches any more. You are wrong there. Assistant coaches yes but not head coaches. You give the coaches a whole lot of credit but what it comes down to is you have better players. I hope you are is good as you think, you are putting a big target on your team.

The bottom line is every one on 2022 bracket hates on Smash cause they win
And they do it every time and with class. They win over and over and are deep in every facet; their fast paced offense, smashing defense and strong goal tending
People hate when your on top that's the way it goes.. They've dominated consistently playing whatever opponent comes their way and will continue to as well as challenging themselves playing up

Don't make claims on whose better until anyone in 2022 beats them
Maybe you should put down your red cup and just realize they might just be hard working 10 year old boys who actually play lacrossevwith a vengeance and also excel in other sports as well . It's called ATHLETE!!! They are kids that recognize the importance of working hard and are coached to play with intensity and discipline
Hate all you want but they win and you can't take that away from SMASH
Their even fun to watch
People love to talk when the only thing that matters is the scoreboard!

Honestly, If every game was a competitive game and the kids played on a very high level. Wouldn't care about the scoreboard. Not a 91 parent, but I agree with you... people love to hate the team that is on top.

I agree, I'll be the first to admit I don't barely watch what's going on in the game besides my son, who btw is the goalie, I truly just enjoy watching him play, but at the end of the day ppl can get caught up in all the negative unnessasary blabbering and you can't help but respond just to clarify things. If you took the time to read any of most of the posts on this site, according to them basically all travel teams suck!!!! It's actually comical and rediculous all at the same time, I guess that's why I read them when I need a pic me up (almost like a soap opera) if you haven't already guessed YES I AM A LAX MOM.

91 Has dad coaches. Do they have credentials? Sure! Do they have an interest in their kid more than others? Absolutely! If you don't think SL and JS arent showing their kid some extra love you are nuts. As for the last part of your statement, what kind of grown adult says stuff like that? Targets really??

It is possible that all of the idiots on the message board take a step back and say, wow, we have a lot of 5th grade talent on Long Island REGARDLESS of the team? Think about it folks, isn't it better to acknowledge this than to continuously beat down the different travel clubs. I have been to a lot of tournaments and can honestly say, we got it going on. Who cares about the top dog team? There WILL come a time when Smash will be smashed. Perhaps not by another Long Island team, but they are beatable. Ok, let the bashing begin!

I'm glad I don't let my kids on this site. There is something wrong with you 2

Smash hope you are ready we are coming for you this year

great post jerk. hey kids, my kids are going to get you. 5th grade bully dad. talking smack to kids...excellent use of your weekend.

BTW, which "we" do you represent? Like, what 5th graders are you talking for? Do they feel this way? or is it possible they think "thats just my dad, who was never as good as I am at lacrosse, getting all crazy for no reason other than to make himself feel better for being a no talent moron".

Not much chatter about 2022 express today. No more boasting how they are going to beat smash and how they are the team to beat. Can't even beat a 4th grade team. Oh well, maybe next year.

Did MC 2022 team even play today ? That might have been the B team. Does anyone know ?

:)) ... I love it! Chest thumping idiots. I wasn't there, but I'm curious to hear some of the results.

Does anyone have tourney results ?

That wasn't the B team. That was MC team. Bad, bad loss. Let's hear the excuses

Bandits 4th grade had a 5th grader on their team. That's not fair! Even though it was a 5th grade bracket

So 91 moves a player from Crush ( 2020) to play in the 2022 bracket and you knuckleheads don't have a problem with that? I understand most people hate Express, and 91. But in this instance put aside your hate for either organization and explain why 91 moves a player from a 2020 team to a 2022 bracket for a tournament. This nonsense is exactly why USA Lacrosse must step in and put a stop to all this. This is also the reason why more and more Long Island Lacrosse Clubs are staying away from my Lacrosse Tournaments/ 91 Tournaments...

Without Joey bandits get spanked. Maybe he can hold him back again. If he's driving in 7th grade maybe that will some how eliminate JS demons of being a zero is high school/college. Ha!

Express 2022 MC team 1 lost to Greenwich team 2x one in regular game other in finals . They did not play the 91 bandits . I believe it was 2022 express westchester team that lost to bandits . Can anyone clarify ? Express looks like jumped the gun calling all teams out . Losing in B bracket tournament for a team that's calling out Smash . Think express needs to get out of the B bracket and maybe play A teams to be able to attempt beating Smash . Why would MC put his top team in B bracket tournament . Sad .

I heard Smash didn't even make the finals today...what happened?

DGF? Please enlighten us with your low brow humor...

I'm like ice cream. Good Humor

Bandits are 4th grade kid in question is a 5th grader( hear back and forth whether he started school late or not ) but does play on Crush. Extremely talented but a 5th grader older or not. So No rules were broken, feelings hurt but no rules. people talk with out knowing anything.

So rather than go on and on with this for days. How about a statement from My Lacrosse Tournaments?

They don't owe you or anyone anything! Even if the information is true, if the other teams play them with the players they have and know (and you can be sure the opposing coaches know who that kid is), then you can't cry after the fact.

It was a Busch league move. The kid had no business playing on that team and it shows how little integrity his father has for playing him on the 2023 team.

But don't expect the tournament directors to address it.

Truth is that crush kid IS in the 2022 graduating class and he played in the 2022 bracket.

It sucks and it never should have happened but 91 can hide behind that technicality.

MC team did not play Greenwich that was the westchester team. Mc team lost to the bandits. I really don't see what all the uproar is about. This kid is in 5th grade right? He played in a 5th grade bracket. If express is so good how could they let 1 player beat them? He's in the same grade! And if you say he's supposed to be in 6th I'm sure some of the express played should be too.

Lost in a coin flip tie-breaker. Good showing otherwise, can't see a 2022 team beating them any time soon

How dare that boy play in his graduating year. No rules were broken and why shouldn't he get to after playing way up all the time. Truth is our boys played great last Monday at legacy came on the field and took that team for granted not knowing that team. The boys will learn from it, it's October and MC will have these kids ready. Both teams played hard and it was a great game

They went 2-1 playing 6th grade A and missed the finals on a coin flip.

Absolutley agree - and did that player take away PLAYTIME from a player on the BANDIT'S roster ?

Teams should just refuse to play when they are scheduled to play against these 91 teams that they know are cheating... That me be the only way to get them to stop.

Minutemen never Played the bandits yesterday

Minutemen never played the bandits yesterday

Why doesn't 91 and express go back to orange and white. A and B. Enough with the confusing animal names or wanna be intimidating names. We all know who the top team is anyway. That decoy doesn't work.

Express 2022 team 1 did. Last year they were called the minutemen.

The kid from the crush that played 2022 is a 2022 kid ...Thats why no one SHOULD have a problem with it.

Yeah, he's a 2022 kid that should be a 2021 kid. 91 has a game of 3 card monte going on here.

What grade should he be in is the real question?

No.... He's a really good 2022 kid who plays UP on the 2020 team. Well within the rules for him to play down whenever he or his club wish. Time for you idiots to know what's up before you open your cowardly anonymous mouths.

The age discrepancy is one thing, but if he is not going to play on this team, why play for this one tournament? It is fall ball for crying out loud. You should be seeing what your team is and what you need to work on. You should see who your leaders will be. Who will step up in a tough moment. Who will controll the ball, and who will play the best D. If you have a hired stud for this tournament what did you learn?What did the team benefit? Dont they all already have t shirts? I would hope the kids who are on this team would rather risk losing , but play than to get a shirt and watch some member of a different team play in their stead.

As an express parent to be fair we have a fair number of boys that should be 6th graders a minimum of 5. This issue is really not an issue an old 5th grader w a team of 4th graders is not against the rules and for us a few old 5th graders w a team of 5th graders all in the 5th grade bracket. There are a ton of kids that either were held back or started late that play grade level.

Please let us all know what tournaments your going to that have age verification. I'm sure there are a few teams that can show proof of age. Until then Give it a break with the BS over a kid playing on a team he is eligible to play on. Do you really think the other teams in 2022 didn't have a couple of hold backs. Except the fact that he is a good player and move on. This goes on all over whether its club teams or town teams that go to tournaments.They all do it and it is not cheating because its within the rules. I personally don't like the rules but I would never call someone a cheater when clearly it looks like that is not the case.

Unless the tournament states you can't roster on 2 different teams.

How do you know that he won't be playing with this team or a 5th grade team along with his older 2020 team? Eventually those kids are going to be graduating and he will still have two years of HS to go. If he can fit it into his schedule, why not play with his own grade level as well?

Lol. You said so many stupid things it's comical. You must be a liberal blowhard who thinks your opinion is soooo important. It's not. The kid played at his age. He's good. Wanted to play. So what. Now go protest the war or watch CNBC and kiss your Obama picture. Hahahahahaha.

The kid and teams played by the rules, but since you have something against his father or 91, it doesn't matter.

Because last year he was a 2021!! That's why!!

Kid needs to pick a team - not just jump on board with another when they dont even need him. Not really fair to the kids on the team

Yes, a 12 year old 2022... Please, everyone knows 91 is full of it. People should just not play when they are scheduled to play those teams. They have holdback a on every single level and then brag that they are "playing up". They're not playing up. That's the actual grade they're suppose to be in..

The overall talent in 2022 is one of the deepest grades should make foe some fun years

Liberal blowhard?! I think you have it backwards my friend. I dont think my opinion is so important, you do. That is why you felt the need to respond with name calling. You dont like what I have to say so you try to shut me down and insult me. Sounds like typical liberal tactics. My only point was that, especially in fall ball why bring in guests? Play the team you have. As a parent that pays to play I want what I paid for. I want my son to play, I want his team to play and I want to see growth. None of that happens the way it should if There are guest players. If the kid is on the team, great. But if he is good enough and is playing up why would he want to play back two years? doubt he will be on this team come summer. Every run he played, he took one away from the boys who will be.

Go enjoy your win at all cost, rules and sportsmanship mean nothing I want a t shirt mentality. Sounds like Obama to me

both 2022 brackets were pretty week to begin with ! let the bandits brag all they want ,no A teams played ,they finally figured out this tournament is a joke , no disrespect to the kids that played but most talent at that age were either at football or lax practice see u in the spring

Agreed. It's just a shame that the competition makes some clubs want to float the spirit of the rules. With that said, it would be nice if we could just support the boys and watch great lax.

I'm amazed by the level of lax being played by 4th & 5th grade boys these days. Hopefully, the parents won't ruin the overall experience for them.

LI Lax has a bright future, let's keep it classy.

It was a beautiful day, the fields were in good shape and it was a good tournament. Say what you want, I'd rather my kid play 4 games in a local tournament then not play and travel to some mediocre out of state tournament.

Agree 100%. This is a disgrace...It is an absolute joke that this happens and the numb parents of the "real" players just sit there and let it happen because the coach says its ok...91 is a JOKE.

Kid has ALWAYS been 2022, once again people speaking about something they know nothing about or just starting nonsense. No matter how you look at it kid is 1000 percent grade and age appropriate to play 2022. The fact that some people have a problem with it is just that, their problem.

Give us a break. The kid has been playing 2020 for 3 years now. Why have him play in on a 2022 team in HH . Is it so JS can post a picture on Instagram with his 3 kids on one team. What Joke. If the team is that good, play up without him.

Express HAS 5 kids that are 2021 age but are 2022 grade, no rules are broken . People do not go to some of these tournaments because it's easier to say how great they are than to play . Express is an A team btw

just stating the facts

Grade yes, U11 no. FACT!!

I was told the player in question is a late birth date and a hold back which makes him 2 years older. Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not? Either way if the kid dominates at 2020 as he does, why the need to bring him down 2 years and play? The next questions is why leave him on the field all game long as well, the player in question did not come off the field. I guess a tee shirt is more important to Bandit parents then having their kid play. I am sorry but 91 and My Lacrosse Tournaments are a disgrace.

2023 Bandits would beat any 2022 team except Smash. Fact.

Yea okay. Isn't it your naptime kid?

Plus there are several team along the east coast that would take you kids to school. Arden Diamondacks for example.

Now is where you say that Maryland teams are all holdbacks and we never do that here on LI.

The answer is simple. 91 wanted the Bandits to beat Express because it's good for business. It makes 91 look like the better organization and drives up demand and price. It's the same reason other teams - Jesters, Igloo, Outlaws - didn't show. Losing to local teams is bad for business - especially in the first tournament. Really sad what has become of youth lacrosse on Long Island.

United beat them easily by 5 or 6 goals even with JS Jr playing.

jesters 2022 beat them in lax fest too

What I found repulsive was that Express "A" was jumping brackets at the Havoc trying to cruise straight to the finals, but they got beat by the 91 bandits the 4th grade team! I LOVE IT!!!

You're all idiots and WAY TOO VESTED in youth lacrosse. GET A LIFE!

All of these kids, 91, Express, Outlaws, TLI, Empire, Igloo (don't be a DB and call me out for forgetting some organization) are talented athletes, way more talented than their parents ever were.

They work hard and enjoy playing the game, you are ruining it for your children by posting negativity on an anonymous forum. Man up, women up, transgender up whatever.... just grow the F up.

This is a game. A game that most (90%) kids will stop playing in HS or immediately after their last HS game, so take a deep breath, and realize that none of this S matters.

Kid was never held back know people in the district started late because he would of been extremely young. FACT he plays up ALL the time so everyone thinks he's so much older than he is . So to post lies in the question form then call them a disgrace makes you that. How many hold backs or start lates were on express I'm sure plenty probably just none that can play like what I saw. Truth is a team of 4th graders w a slightly older 5th grader beat a team of 5th graders with 6th grade age hold backs on express . So when you simplify it like that makes you realize oldest kid on the field was on the losing team. hmmm

Whats his birth date? Show it! Which is what USLA should require every kid to do. How can soccer get it right, but lax has no clue? Embarrassing! And it only leads to parents accusing teams of "hold backs".

What about all of the kids that are late in speech development, or are clearly just not ready to go to school "full time" maturity wise, as a kindergartener or 1st grader? Are these parents "holding kids back" for athletic advantage? I don't think so.

The rule states, "any child that turns 19 after 7/1 in his/her senior year of high school, is eligible to play sports". Look it up and do the math. Then let's stop bickering about your kids team losing a fall ball tourney. And about MD teams "cheating" when they are not. Grow up. Your sons team got beat. Show respect to the opponents, and teach your children a lesson in humility.

If the tourney is fixed, everyone knows it. Just walk away from the tourney....

He is a June birthday hardly late. Either he is dumb or it was done for lax.

I have an idea. How about 91 and express duke it out at the bank after school. Next, we can have a mandatory birth certificate check before every season begins and kids can only play in the proper age bracket (no one gives a crap how gifted your kid is) they have to play with age appropriate group. And last, all the white trash ignoramus people posting on here can shut their traps

I guess a tee shirt is more important to Bandit parents then having their kid play. I am sorry but 91 and My Lacrosse Tournaments are a disgrace.

Perfectly said. Total disgrace. You parents who are sitting there and feel nothing is wrong with this are just as ignorant. Or are you just too "afraid" to say something. Pathetic.

No ones afraid. Because there is nothing to say. You are crazy and maybe your little kid needs to try another activity. Clearly lax isn't working out for you and after all it seems IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU. Sad for your kid. If you want him to succeed maybe you should just shut your suck hole. Give him the chance to figure stuff out and excel on his own. YOUR PATHETIC.

If in fact his birthday is in June, he was held back for lax reasons. That is not extremely young for the grade as you state. Let's be real about this. June of what year is the question. November and December yes, but June!!! No way.

If he's a June 2003 kid, he shouldn't be anywhere near a 2022 game.

All of these kids, 91, Express, Outlaws, TLI, Empire, Igloo (don't be a DB and call me out for forgetting some organization) are talented athletes, way more talented than their parents ever were.

They work hard and enjoy playing the game, you are ruining it for your children by posting negativity on an anonymous forum. Man up, women up, transgender up whatever.... just grow the F up.

This is a game. A game that most (90%) kids will stop playing in HS or immediately after their last HS game, so take a deep breath, and realize that none of this S matters.

The answer is simple. 91 wanted the Bandits to beat Express because it's good for business. It makes 91 look like the better organization and drives up demand and price. It's the same reason other teams - Jesters, Igloo, Outlaws - didn't show. Losing to local teams is bad for business - especially in the first tournament. Really sad what has become of youth lacrosse on Long Island.

Maybe some teams didn't shoe because it's still football season. This may be a news flash on here , but some of the better athletes play more than one sport. Playing in every 91 tournament is not a requirement for travel lacrisse. Plenty of others out there in November. Some teams still doing tryouts!!

Low-rent, white trash move, but to be expected by that coach. Guy has disciples but he represents everything that's wrong with youth lacrosse today. Lots of bad behavior across youth lacrosse these days but this guy brings it to whole new level.

I'm confused how are the "holdback" kids not part of this discussion from the express. 5/6 hold backs of children that are on the express team should impact this discussion. If that is the discussion, concerns about age are one thing. Truth of the matter is no rules were broken, but as a parent of a neighboring organization a team of hold backs is of much larger concern than one boy. That practice is something prevalent in the express. Our son knows many of those boys from school and other activities and many are much older

Biggest question for me is who is ranked behind Smash
Smash

My son is a June 2004 Birthdate and he plays 2022, fact that a kid is a June 2003 and he plays 2022 as well is an issue. That a professional lacrosse coach condones this behavior and is an active participant in it is disgusting.

Yup. A couple of decent tourneys coming. Fall finale and the Mustang. Don't care about rankings just want to see good quality lax. Isn't an 8-7 loss is better than a 15-1 win. Guess depends on the circumstances.

Bandits lost to the jesters by 10 last year. And they are not even close to be 4th best team at age.

says the Adonis of the lax world.......

Fall Finale Schedule is out. Only 4 teams, Express, Outlaws, Igloo and some team I never heard of. We should have all just entered Havoc rather than driving to NJ and paying for hotels to play against LI teams and probably 1 other weak team. Waste of time and money.

You guys can't really be serious about this, right??? He's a kid. A fifth grader. Maybe he's old enough to be in 6th, but his parents elected to hold him back for whatever reaon. Do you think that he showed such lax prowess at 5 that the parents decided to hold him back so he would look good at youth lax tournaments? That's insane, and if you believe that, shame on you. News flash, just about every team has a kid that was held back. You're only complaining because this child happened to be good and beat you. News flash #2, if I'm a coach and need a win, my best player is on the field as much as possible. And since this child in question fits the limits and parameters of the team, he's playing. On LI, tournaments are based on grade. Nothing you can do about it. I watched that team in question... guess what, they're better than most teams (even in the advanced bracket). You people complaining need to take a good hard look at your own rosters and quit complaining about something that is allowed and prevalent in the sport.

why is this still an issue move on

Knights will surely beat them.....at hockey.

"News flash #2, if I'm a coach and need a win" .... gky. "need a win"?! are you insane? a held back 6th grader, who plays at the 7th grade level (because he's that good), suits up with a 4th grade team entered into a 5th grade division. ABSURD. PATHETIC. SAD.

Yeah, and by the way, any suggestion he was held back for a reason OTHER than lax is pure BS. I agree we should not be talking about specific kids and I have no idea who this kid is. But I would bet anything that he was held back for an unfair lacrosse advantage. Not cool!

Yes, I am sure at age four his parents said, "Let's hold him back so he can be a badass on the lax field." Yes, that is what most parents are thinking about genius. How about physical, emotional, social maturity? How about cognitive development, speech and language, sensory development? How about we don't put ourselves in another parents shoes unless we know for a fact why their four yr old wasn't ready for K.

Wow.. we finally get to see 3 of the top programs in 2022 play against each other... great for long island lacrosse - shame it has to take place in NJ for it to happen.

I feel bad for the kids that have to explain why they were held back. It gives an edge to a team and that child being bigger stronger and faster than kids younger but it's still perceived as cheating no matter how many parameters it fits.

Don't feel bad, I held my child back in pre school because he is young for his age. That was over 10 years ago. He is now one of the smallest of his friends, and does well in sports but certainly does not have an unfair advantage due to size. I can assure you, no one has ever questioned why he was held back when he was 4 years old, and if it comes up once a year, around his birthday, that is a lot. Actually by now it doesn't come up about sports, more about driving. Seems like parents of younger kids these days are bringing it up the most as an excuse as to why their child is not dominate on the field.

Understood but kids are being held back way after preschool.

There is adifference between an excuse and reality.

driving friends to school is more of a liability than a bonus but you seem to be reaching in most of your posts

Which 2022 teams are going to the Bulldog in New Haven on November 8?

Why are the Jestets playing in the B division at Yale??

Is the schedule out?

I don't know if the schedules out but my sons playing in the tournament so I just called the organizer to find out what teams were playing in 2022 and they told me which teams were playing and in which division..

You sound worried that the Jesters are in your bracket lol

Sorry but Express beat TLI on Columbus day. Nice try. As far as top teams it looks like 91 smash, 91 United, and Express. Outlaws suck this year as you will see when Igloo and Express light them up this weekend!

Wow!! Putting a lot of stock into a fall tournament in November. By the way outlaws don't suck but I guess if they lose in your eyes their season is done. Before the summer season even starts. What about express losing to 2023 bandits? How are they a top team? United, have they even played yet? They lost their best players. Smash.....yeah they are the best. No argument there. TLI lost to express. Let's see what happens in the summer. Until then who cares. Igloo? Who knows.

Those are the top teams maybe, but the top programs are express 91 and outlaws.

Thank you Quint for your expert opinion on the 10 year old lacrosse club team circuit. You have no idea what you are talking about. Express will beat Bandits by many goals if they played with their whole team , as they should. United lost two starters but will be fine if not better Igloo has improved to. Get a life my man , or woman.

Watch out for ICON!!! Beware!

United took a step back this year. They are a shell of what they were last season. The heart and soul of their team left. Good luck rebuilding.

You must be angry at something. The heart and soul left ? How emotional.

Sorry but Express beat TLI on Columbus day. Nice try. As far as top teams it looks like 91 smash, 91 United, and Express. Outlaws suck this year as you will see when Igloo and Express light them up this weekend!

Outlaws suck this year ? Why would you even have an opinion.. team has about 8 kids from last year's team no more... big turnover... new kids are skilled. Why even make such a statement - perhaps you left and think so highly of yourself that the team can't go on without you ? Just let the kids play.

Omg you ppl really all sound crazy.... My kids team is better than yours this team sucks, that coach is a liar.... Blah blah blah, should we dig into everybody's closets now!!!! Everybody needs to stop reliving there youth through your kids, it's pathetic. Everybody has [lacrosse] some ppl just hide it better than others. As long as the coaches are doing the jobs as far as teaching the kids and making them better sportsmen then who gives a rats [lacrosse] what they've done to get where they are now, as long as they're not pedafiles I don't really care... Holy [lacrosse] it's enough already. Give it a rest DADS. You've already lived your youth you can't get it back so move on and let your child excel himself. And yes my 3 sons are all on an 'A' team, before you respond back with some stupid remark.

Triple A-son rated mom, go back to your hairdresser and vent. Between all of the "low brow" commentary, there's actually some good information that is shared on this forum. Team's, directors & coaches are all fair game. And while you're only worried about pedophiles, some of us would like to think our kids coaches should be good mentors and decent people.
So please, get off your high horse and go vent somewhere else.

So that makes your the authority on what other people can say or do? Oh look at me I have three sons and they all play on the "A" team. Well la te da. Shut up! And what makes you think it's all dads doing this stuff? Personally I think it's all crazy women! Go away you really so more obnoxious then everyone else. Omg I really can't believe you wrote that at the end. Your a such primadonna.

TLI lost to express. Let's see what happens in the summer. Until then who cares. Igloo? Who knows.

Losing to the Bandits?? Spallinas 12th grader played for them. Please let's not count that BS Win.

You my friend are the true apittomy of the word [lacrosse]!!!!! You have noooooo clue who or what I am or have or anything else for that manor, but I can see by the way you are responding you have been to im sure MANY rub and tugs before, I can't imagine any WOMEN in her right mind, or the right country would even respond to the likes of you.
And YES MY BOYS ARE VERY PROUD OF THERE WIDOWED, SINGLE, MOm THEY HAVE IN ME. I may play as tough as a man but believe me, I'm no slouch either. Honey you have no clue besides this baby bs post you reply most likely on a daily basis. So enjoy your pathetic name calling post, as your probably sitting your [lacrosse] down at work living through your child's younger years and wishing it was your again.

You are a douchbag !!!!!!!!!!!

Guess we found your breaking point. You certainly enjoyed all your name calling in your previous post. You love to throw rocks at the men. I'll put money on one of two scenarios the old man hung himself to get away from you or he's alive and well living in California under an alias. See you at the A tournaments. Look for the extremely relaxed guy. Oh those massages are the best and the ending even better

Seriously are you kidding. You two are the most immature posters on this site. Too bad there's no qualifications to procreate. Too bad for both of your kids.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. This just proves the credibility of this site from a LACROSSE prospective. THIS SITE IS A JOKE AND AN EMBARRESMENT TO OUR SPORT!!!

Our sport... Now that is funny. You morons post here and talk about "our" sport. I know a few Native Americans who want their sport back if you folks represent it!

They are a shady organization, so I'm not sure why you would care. They are slowly dying especially now that Empire is in town. Their teams have parent coaches, they play down in tournaments and they are poorly run. Unless of course you are more interested in the tailgate than the tournament, then this would be the way to go.

What teams are doing Mustang Classic in Mt Sinai?

Was your kid on the team last year?

That is a completely ridiculous approach to take with a club, I can tell by your question that your son did play. If he played 2022 then you made out better than 2020. 2022 played on age even though they were combined 3rd 4th grade team.

You're an idiot. That was the first day Crabs has ever played together and they lost 4-2.

I don't know why anyone would play for 32. The teams all disband as they get older as half the group or more heads to catholic school. give it another year and you'll start to see the fleeing to express

You just proved my point. Such a sense of inferiority. A team of mixed people is way more interesting than the Stepford people from the bubble that is called Manhasset

"sense of inferiority" - i guess we should've included educated as well...this part of your post makes no sense

Here are a few reasons: they win, parents are normal and friends, practices are local, kids are all friends with one another, the coaching is excellent, and the schedule isn't overbearing.

How many kids on 32 were born before Dec 1, 2003, which is the school cut off? The answer to that question defines how good 32 is. If it's none or maybe 1, then they deserve a lot of credit. If 2 or more, especially if these 2 or more are among the better players, then it's a different story because say what you want but older kids have an unfair advantage.

I'm looking forward to the response from the Manhasset chest pounders. Just state the facts. No commentary and no names of course. Just the number of kids on the 5th grade team who should be in 6th grade based on the school district cut off date of December 1.

Every single child on the Manhasset 32 2022 team is born well after the September 1st guideline established by US Lacrosse, I can understand your concern and likely disappointment when you digest this fact.

How many were born before Dec. 1? A kid born before Dec. 1 may be eligible for age based tournaments under US lacrosse guidelines but many of the tournaments that 32 enters are based on graduating year and not age. A kid born before Dec. 1 should be a 2021 under YOUR school district rules and gets an unfair advantage when playing in tournaments against 2022 teams. How is that to digest? Please answer the question.

I vow only to post when correcting the ignorant on this board. A child is allowed to start kindergarten in the Manhasset School District if they are 5 by December 1st. It's not a rule that you have to start kindergarten then, but you can't start earlier than that without special permission. US Lacrosse sets guidelines for a reason and those are followed to the best of my knowledge by Team 32. Many kids move out from New [lacrosse] City where they start formal elementary education a year later than on Long Island.

Now this is getting ridiculous...Kings Park? Are you serious? Do they even have a lax program?

As expected we are getting commentary and not facts. Manhasset school district sets Dec. 1 as the cut off. If a parent feels their kid is not ready to start kindergarten then they have the option to hold them back to the next year. The option is not meant for parents that hope to get an unfair advantage on the lacrosse field. You had no hesitation stating as a fact that no 32 kids were born before Sept. 1. We are still waiting to hear how many were born before Dec. 1. Just provide the number and then we can end this conversation.

By this summer the 32 team will start to implode as the catholic school group starts to defect to express. That's when you will see this "nice, respectful, pretty" group of parents start to stab each other in the back.

The honest answer is I don't know how many born before December 1st, because that is an irrelevant birthdate for youth lacrosse. All I can state with certainty is that every single player on the 2022 Manhasset team is born after September 1st, which is the guideline set forth by US Lacrosse. And again, to correct your prior post, there is no "cutoff" date for when a student has to start elementary school so I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove. I can also say with certainty that the vast majority of the team is born after December 1st, perhaps there are 1 or 2 born prior to then, but nobody is born before the September 1st cutoff date prescribed by US Lacrosse.

I would think BOTC folks would be pretty happy M32 went to Maryland and beat Crabs 2021 6-4 (who has several kids older than U.S. Lax guidelines), beat GT 2021 10-7 (who is flat out good and also has at least one or two older kids) and beat Breakers 10-4.

How many were born before Dec. 1? A kid born before Dec. 1 may be eligible for age based tournaments under US lacrosse guidelines but many of the tournaments that 32 enters are based on graduating year and not age. A kid born before Dec. 1 should be a 2021 under YOUR school district rules and gets an unfair advantage when playing in tournaments against 2022 teams. How is that to digest? Please answer the question.

I vow only to post when correcting the ignorant on this board. A child is allowed to start kindergarten in the Manhasset School District if they are 5 by December 1st. It's not a rule that you have to start kindergarten then, but you can't start earlier than that without special permission. US Lacrosse sets guidelines for a reason and those are followed to the best of my knowledge by Team 32. Many kids move out from New [lacrosse] City where they start formal elementary education a year later than on Long Island.

As expected we are getting commentary and not facts. Manhasset school district sets Dec. 1 as the cut off. If a parent feels their kid is not ready to start kindergarten then they have the option to hold them back to the next year. The option is not meant for parents that hope to get an unfair advantage on the lacrosse field. You had no hesitation stating as a fact that no 32 kids were born before Sept. 1. We are still waiting to hear how many were born before Dec. 1. Just provide the number and then we can end this conversation.

The honest answer is I don't know how many born before December 1st, because that is an irrelevant birthdate for youth lacrosse. All I can state with certainty is that every single player on the 2022 Manhasset team is born after September 1st, which is the guideline set forth by US Lacrosse. And again, to correct your prior post, there is no "cutoff" date for when a student has to start elementary school so I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove. I can also say with certainty that the vast majority of the team is born after December 1st, perhaps there are 1 or 2 born prior to then, but nobody is born before the September 1st cutoff date prescribed by US Lacrosse.

Simple question, are there kids who are held back or actual 2021 grad year students playing 2022 in grade based (not U- XX) tournaments? I get a sense from the evasive answers that you do.

Holy cow lunatic do you honestly think more than a handful of other lunatics are holding g back kids for an "unfair" advantage on the lacrosse field?? Nobody does that, most people who hold kids back do it for developmental issues.

Prediction: There are 3-5 kids on Manhasset 32 2022 team that were born before Dec. 1, 2003 and some of them are the better players on team.

Prediction: There parents didn't hold them back for development reasons (or because they relocated from the city since they have probably always lived in Manhasset) but to get an unfair advantage in sports.

The 32 team is very good. But it bothers people when other people try to game the system to get an advantage for there kids. Just saying.

Igloo 2022 beat express 2022 today pretty easily. Now who said igloo is not a top team? New ranking time.....

I'm sooooo done this this forum. What a waste, this site could be so good if everyone would have to register. I feel dumber for logging on.

Sorry, the above M32 scores were 2021 games. M32 2022's went 3-0 of course, but not quite as as strong as opponents.

Please remember, Express 2022 got beat by a mixed 3rd/4th grade team a few weeks ago. They are horrible. I'm surprised the parents let their kids stay on that team. Talk about wheels coming off a program.

My understanding was it was a 10-8 scrimmage... So I would say express held there own for a team of a number of new players getting acquainted with one another.

The final was 10-8 and express was missing 2 solid defenseman. That's easily ?

What a jerk to come on here and say that a team of 5th graders are horrible. They may lose some games including to a very good 91 2023 team but these are still 10 year old kids playing at a very high level. My kid is on a different team. I have seen this Express team play. They are far from horrible. It's actually pretty unbelievable how good a lot of these kids and teams are at this age. I guarantee they were much better than this poster was at 10 years old. What everyone needs to understand is except for Smash the days of dominant teams are ending. There are tons of clubs our there and the good players are spreading out. There are lots of good coaching options, different locations, different prices and kids move around. Its not about where your kids team is ranked. Its about whether he is having fun and getting better.

Wheels coming off - Had you told me the 2018 and 2019 teams lost consistently I'd have to agree but you are talking 5th grade half the team wont be on it when it is important.

Look at who is on the Express 2019 currently verses when they were in 5th grade.
5 stayed on A (only 2 should) 2 on second team
6 in the 91 program (4O-2W).
3 on Legacy's
1 on fl$
a few not sure if even playing anymore.

and as if that wasn't enough, 2018 had the big split with Extreme, they weathered that storm nicely.

One good thing I believe all the kids who played together are good friends and like seeing each other!

really just stop and get ahold of yourself. The team is still better than last year and will only get better. Saw some kids playing today who are all of a sudden not the superstars anymore. Would you rather be on that so called top team and not get as much playing time. You can say you are on the top team but will you get better. It remains to be seen. Not everyone thrives on these top teams. No recruiters care if you were on the top fifth grade team.The wheels are working fine as long as the kids are thriving and they are.

Maybe Igloo not so hot. Beating an Express team by 2 goals that was missing 2 of its better defenseman and who recently lost to a 4th grade team is not something to run home about and post on BOTC.

you are either a coach that left or a parent that left. either way you need to get over whatever injustice you believe was done to you. it's petty to call a team horrible especially when you know the kids. you really should man up and say what you have to say on the field. no one was waving their flag today. Coaches, refs, kids and parents all acted perfectly today. top teams will fluctuate as these kids mature. no recruiters care if you were on a top team at ten years old. or 11 or 12 in some cases. get over yourself and try to behave like an adult. these boys need leadership not someone with an axe to grind or even worse a chip on their shoulder.

right. Do you just make it up as you go. Because with a roster that inflated who really should be saying why would parents stay on that team

it wasn't a tournament. it was a scrimmage. igloo invited express to play today. all the games were well played. some blow hard who left express with an axe to grind is getting his rocks off taunting ten year olds. last picked at ball I'm sure living through his poor child.

a smart [lacrosse] with a smart phone. how wonderful for your family. nice way to set the example. when Johnny gets called into the principal's office what do you say, what's the big deal I trash talk on my smart phone all the time.

Just a parent of the opposing team who rthink it's funny how express parents boast on botc about beating TLI and then go out and lose to the bandits then lose to igloo today. Then you claim you were missing players but when we say we were missing players you don't believe it. Stop bragging about every little win. How many times have we played? Never once have we lost to express. We all know if you guys won today this board would be lit up with the "express is the best, we are better than smash" talk.

Seems like every team is alway missing key players. If they are key players why weren't they there ? Enough with excuses.

I'm an igloo parent and I'm appalled at what my team is posting. It was a good game. Its obvious my kid is not going to get a lot of playing time but there are a lot of good kids. I can see why people move off the tops teams.

It's probably Larry miller!

The honest answer is I don't know how many born before December 1st, because that is an irrelevant birthdate for youth lacrosse. All I can state with certainty is that every single player on the 2022 Manhasset team is born after September 1st, which is the guideline set forth by US Lacrosse. And again, to correct your prior post, there is no "cutoff" date for when a student has to start elementary school so I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove. I can also say with certainty that the vast majority of the team is born after December 1st, perhaps there are 1 or 2 born prior to then, but nobody is born before the September 1st cutoff date prescribed by US Lacrosse.

Simple question, are there kids who are held back or actual 2021 grad year students playing 2022 in grade based (not U- XX) tournaments? I get a sense from the evasive answers that you do.

Simple answer is there are a few November "babies" who were held back in pre-k. So, for all of you bed-wetters who are going to be upset that a few Manhasset parents had the common sense to hold academically challenged kids back a year from entering kindergarten, I have only one thing to say. Get used to it.

The Manhasset community places a higher regard for academic achievement over athletics.

But, it's okay. We now know every time one of our teams beat yours, you will pull out the eligibility card. Do your homework and read a little bit. NYS cut-off is 9/1. Cry all you want, deride our town as "stepfords", etc. but in the end, we know our teams are good. We'll compete with any town, and any club.

Fire away, but please leave the town you are from so we can schedule a game.

And it just happens that your precious "babies" are bigger, stronger and faster. Oh....I forgot, OLDER. But it is all about their academic progress. Funny how that works.

Include in your post what town you're from please. Stop hiding. You know where we're from. If you have a problem with US Lacrosse's cut off date/age guidelines, take it up with them, we play by the rules.

I'd have to disagree with you - this age group has been playing together since they were 5 years old and had a regimented practice schedule that was run by a large number of dedicated, knowledgeable parents. They also practice on their own, attend camps, and play other sports. This group of young boys proved just how could LI lax is this past weekend when they went to Baltimore and won against a number of strong Baltimore club teams. So don't be such a DB, post your team and I am sure the coaches will be happy to schedule a game against you.

I bet if you asked the parents of the holdbacks if sports was the reason or at least a big factor in their decision to hold their kid back and they were being honest they would tell you that it was. Maybe it's not technically cheating because the school district allows parents to do that but it's still an unfair advantage and that's why everyone is calling BS on this academic development spin. And it may be the new reality but doesn't mean it's right.

You're calling BS because some kids are 2-3 weeks older than the majority, and the team they are on is very good. You just can't let it go. I can guarantee you academic/emotional development was THE ONLY factor.

post your town.

I'm in no way putting down the fact M32 had a great day in Maryland. Sounds like a great bunch of kids. But I don't know that I would read too much into it yet - from the scores, Cannons seemed like the class of the field and the Arden Diamondbacks - who were the class of the Maryland Summer field - weren't there.

That said, your 2021's had 2 big wins over teams with more established histories. I'd say the program has a lot to be proud of and LI should be proud of their showing in those two age groups.

PS - The quibbling over a few weeks above may be typical of BOTC, but it is oddly weird and cannibalistic of LI parents.

2015 Age Grouping Quick Reference Table

Birthdate Age Bracket
Born on or after 9/1/1999 U15
Born on or after 9/1/2001 U13
Born on or after 9/1/2003 U11
Born on or after 9/1/2005 U9

If you play in age-based tournament or a "graduation year" tournament and violate the above then you're a cheater, if you play within the US Lacrosse rules it's all good!

Ok, so my son is an October baby and we did NOT hold him back because at the time he was ready for school and we followed our school age guidelines. Now that he is playing lax (because really all other sports go by age) if we were to do it all again knowing what we know now we might have held him and it has nothing to do with academics.(He does well in school) It is a huge advantage when the kids are a year older playing in the younger grades but if you listen to parents when they talk about those "older babies" they do have an asterisk that will forever follow them on the playing fields.....

The average age right now of a 5th grader is probably about 10 and 1/2. A kid born in Oct. or Nov. 2003 is 11. That's a 6 month difference. It matters at these young ages.

If Manhasset is #2 LI lax is pretty weak at this age

I'd have to disagree with you - this age group has been playing together since they were 5 years old and had a regimented practice schedule that was run by a large number of dedicated, knowledgeable parents. They also practice on their own, attend camps, and play other sports. This group of young boys proved just how could LI lax is this past weekend when they went to Baltimore and won against a number of strong Baltimore club teams. So don't be such a DB, post your team and I am sure the coaches will be happy to schedule a game against you.

regimented, huh. at 5. wow. do you all realize how ridiculous you all sound.

I don't think when the rules were made they thought there would be rampant hold backs but as long as someone is jumping off a bridge others will follow.

No need to post my town, this Manhasset 32 team is a TRAVEL Lacrosse program. My son plays on grade and had been playing up for a top program, that is all you need to know.

You want to lie about the ages, you want to lie about where all the kids are from and then you want to compare to where I live where we have chosen not to play. Unfortunately for you the rules of this board don't work that way.

I think that I don't mind being called a coward by a lying cheater. Womanhasset seems more fitting.

You sound like a whining coward to me. You probably didn't play sports as a kid, or were terrible at it when you did.

Now you live vicariously through your son, "who plays on a top travel team". Pathetic.

The unvarnished truth was laid to bare. Nobody lied, and nobody cheated. That you are a grown up and can't deal with it is amusing.

well said. my son is playing at the right age/grade. he is on the older end of the grade. he is in the 98th percentile in height for his age at the last checkup. we play teams where half the team is taller, sometimes a head taller. that doesn't add up.

Nobody lied about ages, and all of these kids were born after September 1st, 2003 (I would guess out of the 22 kids on the roster 19 at least are born after January 1, 2004 if that makes you feel any better). The entire team currently lives in the town of Manhasset. The team plays in town tournaments but can also take its show on the road and beat/compete with travel teams, a luxury you obviously can't afford based on where you live. Too bad, but from re-reading all of your posts, it's obvious that you are just jealous. Facts are stubborn things: all the kids are age appropriate, all the kids live in Manhasset and the team is successful.

these rules allow parents to justify having turning 12 years olds play on fifth grade teams. I'm sure you add a little deduction here and there that you didn't really have. come on. if not, I'm sure your neighbor did. just like your neighbor has a very mature 5th grader. I know. he's tall for his age.

Right, you're "just saying", but not saying what town you're from. So silly. If the team benched the "holdbacks", they would still compete at a high level.

Affluent town, good at lax...but yeah, I know, stepfords that cheat and lie. Get over yourselves already. You love to hate.

No rules broken, no lies told. Just a solid group of kids that are all friends and neighbors. I know, it just drives you nuts. Whatever. Youth lax. 90% of these kids won't play after high school.

Mostly they will stop playing because the age and size advantage you give them now by cheating will disappear when they get to high school and beyond. All the affluence and phoney caring will, despite your best efforts, not be enough to stop the little voice inside the kids heads that tells them they were not doing it the right way. Worse, they will know that you took away their chance for true athletic achievement. Hopefully, they will blame you, their parents, and not the other kids. You all know that "you reap what you sow" and the kids know it too.

Express 2022-1? Hope not. A lot to ask around the holidays. Here we go with MC and his communication skills. I'm sure he will let everyone know that week.

Got it. Thanks for sharing Mr. Coward. Your opinion means the world. Good luck against those dirty rotten scoundrels in Womanhasset.

Your bordering on "CREEPY" dude! There are other things in the world. My lord! It's a club team and your not in the club Wah! Btw there's a million reasons kids stop playing ball.

Let us know how it goes. Vegas odds makers have Express going 0-3

If your kid wants to be good, he will do what he has to do to be good. Even if there are kids that are a year older than him on the field. And he will be proud that he did was not a holdback and that he earned it. And you will be proud for teaching him to earn it. Stick to your guns, don't be bullied, and your kid will have success. He will never doubt how he got where he is, he will never think a shortcut is the answer. He will not feel entitled to find a loophole to get what he wants. Great life lesson. Don't worry about what other people do. Follow your own conscience. Your kid will be a harder worker for being "younger and smaller" (not a holdback) and have a clear conscience and a great work ethic. Not just an athlete, but a decent human being.

Include in your post what town you're from please. Stop hiding. You know where we're from. If you have a problem with US Lacrosse's cut off date/age guidelines, take it up with them, we play by the rules.

right. and you can cheat on your taxes playing by the rules too. what is your point

not a parent of holdback but I'm taking every deduction off my taxes allowable by law. just saying

right. good for you. and you didn't hold back your kid. model citizen. just saying

The threads for girls lax don't have debates over age/holdbacks/reclassed kids...

[/quote

Right, you're "just saying", but not saying what town you're from. So silly. If the team benched the "holdbacks", they would still compete at a high level.

Affluent town, good at lax...but yeah, I know, stepfords that cheat and lie. Get over yourselves already. You love to hate.

Are you a lawyer? That is such a convincing argument. How is teaching your kid to have character cowardly? The real cowards are the people too afraid to let their kid fail. So they put them in with younger kids. Lame!

What exactly are you suggesting we do? I'm confused, for the few kids that were born after September 1st, started kindergarten with the rest of their teammates and are currently in 5th grade, should they just not play lacrosse? Should they play with the 6th graders, many of whom will be over a full year older than these kids? Should we form a new team for kids born after September 1st but before December 1st? I still haven't heard a good rationale for why we should do anything but play by the rules, which is what this team has always done.

Sorry. That's not what I mean by holdbacks! I think we're having two separate arguments! I'm talking about people who do pre-first, who holdback in 5th or 8th grade before middle or high school so their kid is a year older than the other kids -- not kids who are fall birthdays... Fall birthdays are in the right grade. No worries there!

But there are some boys (not too many, maybe a couple or a few) with summer birthdays that lo and behold are suddenly bigger, faster and OLDER than all of the others. Still cheating.

I'm from Womanhasset, come and get me big boy. And of course you think your boys will win /"stomp", because you know they are OLDER! I'm your neighbor and I know what you've done! We all know...... And worse, so do the kids, and deep down they are ashamed.
As they should be. For themselves and more so for YOU!

Thanks Mike.

Express A did well as they added some new players from the outlaws. Good addition there. Outlaws silver did not do well. The CT team, Express B and True Blue are really coming along. Was impressed by the CT and True Blue coaches. Someone said, CT coach is a college coach and TB is an assist coach at Adelphi.

Truth be told, Outlaws are better, I guess express is better, so all should be happy. Outlaws totally out played express in final game. Came up short, Express wins, Congradulations to them.

True Blue has great coaching for 2022, and I have to agree...what's your point?! Kids and teams develop and different rates. These are 10/11 year old KIDS. Can't we be happy that there is deep talent on LI in the 2022 grade and encourage healthy competition & camaraderie?

True Blue was in the B division for this Fall Tournament. I love how no new team can get any credit on here. I think the guy was commenting how well the boys played. I actually was surprised to find out on this site, the team is coached by an Adelphi coach that's all. It just goes to show that for a lot less money than Express, 91 and Outlaws, you can develop with an actual college coach. Let's see how the summer pans out for this team and some of the others.

Is united playing in any tournaments this fall? Haven't heard much chatter about them this fall.

Manhasset lost to BLC 2022 (Bethesda) in a close game on trip to MD. Two classy, well coached organizations.

BLC 2022 beat Manhassat in a very close game day before the Green Turtle tournament. Two classy well coached teams.

That's a bit surprising considering 32 beat Crabs and Crabs didn't have much problem with BLC 2022. Maybe it's because the Crabs vs 32 game was the first day the Crabs team had played together.

Younger crabs team are not very good more daddy ball. Don't get to excited you beat the 2022 crab team

I thought 91 United finished off last summer pretty strong. That team lose a lot of players? If not, can't see them losing too many games to Express ....

Smash still the cream of the crop. TLI, not sure, Igloo is good, but not convinced they are a top tier team.

Who is the idiot doing a ranking system for fall ball? The only thing I will agree on is that Smash is the best 2022 team even though they NEVER play in 2022.

Smash top dog for now. Igloo and united real close. TLI and express slightly behind them. Outlaws gaining momentum in this grade. After that the last 3(jesters lost too much: coach- players) are way behind. #6 would destroy #7-9.

Jesters may be in right position, maybe one or two higher, but certainly not a step behind last year in talent or coaching. Looked great at Yale!

So if Team LI is on this list, I assume they are a true 2022 team and have no 6th graders on team? Otherwise they shouldn't be compared to true 2022 5th grade teams.

Igloo and express? You are kidding right Express hasn't beaten a quality team in two years. Igloo hasn't showed anything either. I'm a Smash Dad and can say I believe United is better than both those teams.

Igloo has beaten United ever time so not to sure how this is possible.

Last year they split. I don't count 3rd grade . You must be. Please don't include igloo in the top 5. Maybe 5 Smash , United , TLI , Express , then I guess igloo so they don't cry. I'm sure that's pretty much the consensus , just for giggles.

My son tried out, but did not make Igloo. Saw them in Fall Ball. They will destroy every team on this list except maybe Smash. That will be the matchup I would want to see.

Yea ok.

Destroy ? Maybe Smash ? Have they ever played Smash ? I agree #5

Smash destroys Igloo 2022. Not even close. 2021 and 2022 A and B are closed now.

Try again next year.

They may believe in coaching that's why their players leave to be coached

you are out of your mind with express on this list they were beat up by igloo a month or 2 ago and then after several practices and some games were beaten last week by 2 town teams port and gc ! these are FACTS ! just except it

I'm not from Smithtown, but there is no way that team is lower than 3. Probably 2. BTW, where's 3? They have to be in the conversation.

...bottom 5 are inter-changeable. All speculation anyway, should be a fun spring.

Kings Park and 3Villages are definitely in the conversation. Northport, Harborfield, ESM & E Islip don't belong in top 10, imo. Bayshore could be, but I'm not 100%.

If you're 45 and had to look up Howard Cosell then you must of been living under a rock during your childhood. If you're the guy who made the original list that would explain your ignorance and lack of sports knowledge

That anyone would be so upset by anonymous speculation is kind of funny. If your son, or grandson, is as quick to lose his cool as you are, I don't think anyone needs to have eyes in the back of their heads. We can see you coming from a mile away.

Seriously? The guy is a huge reason why sports in America are the way they are today. I hope you are kidding. He was one of the many reasons why Ali became the figure he is. Cosell also is the guy who said "the Bronx is burning" which was a turning point in the history of NYC. His voice on Monday Night Football was part of the soundtrack of the era. Love him or hate him, he was a giant! At 45, you should know who he was! He was like Babe Ruth of broadcasting.

If you had to look up Howard cosell then you shouldn't be on this site talking about sports. You know nothing about sports. Stay off the site. Please. Thank you.

Amen to that!! I'm a 44 year old female and he's calling me Grandpa,,,,

Contact ESPN. You could direct the 30 for 30 on Cosell!!

Same here on Long Island. Town teams 75 dollars and travel clubs under 450!

No way we are paying 3 to 4k here for youth lacrosse 😐

Been through this before, they say they are a Town team when it suits them so they can say how good they are. But we know they have older kids and the kids do not all live in the Town. It makes them a club team.

How do you know this? I find that hard to believe. Don't they have to turn in their roster to enter tourneys like every other team? If it's true, then I guess they are a club team.

The above poster is wrong. You can go to the Manhasset 32 website and see the roster, then if you're really curious, google search each kid's name to see where they live, 100% town of manhasset.

What happened to GC34? They have beat most of these town teams and have tied Man32 as well as beating some travel teams and also should be in the top 5.

Why don't we just let the boys play the games and check back after Memorial Day?

Couldn't agree more. Should be a great upcoming lax season for this age group.

All age appropriate players per US Lacrosse guidelines and all wear NOCSAE approved helmets...

No Franklin Square on there??? We beat up on Garden City and physically intimidated them and they are the best prgram out there. Clearly Franklin Square should be on the list. Watch out this Spring. Manhasset next on the his list then the little lax drones from CSH...

Typical FS comment. All bluster but no truth. No way they belong on that list. Many teams in Nassau are way better (GC, Manhasset, CSH, F'Dale, PW to name a few).

I think you played one of their 4 balanced PAL spring teams and not their travel team. Big difference....

Settle down there . This isn't HS football.

You sound ridiculous. I'm not saying where we are from but FS is not even a thought for us. Sorry to burst your bubble

I am a Northport parent. First, let me start by saying that this is a very competitive Group and I am looking forward to a great Spring season. In Recent tournaments , we have beat Bayshore, Harborfields, PW, Syosset and Franklin Square. We have lost to Man32 by 2 Goals and KP by 1. This is all for fun and I am looking forward to a great season in the Nassau PAL "A" Division. During the season we can have fun with the rankings as teams Win and lose. Good Luck to all the teams.

There isn't a lax program in Franklin Square. It's probably some Mineola Dad stirring the pot.

I am from Brentwood and I think that we are going to win the division this year.

Lol.

I'm from Bohemia. Y'all better watch out!

That's great! I love the confidence and hope you have a great season. The more the sport grows throughout "The Island" the better.

So long as we all check the ego's in the parking lots and play, coach and cheer with class and good sportsmanship, Long Island lacrosse has a lot of great years ahead.

Good luck, stay healthy. Have fun.

heard great things about True Blue kids played well at fall tournament..I think this team will be a sleeper and suprize alot of people.. pridiction raked in order: Smash, Igloo, Express, Team LI,Outlaws, united, True Blue, fl$, & Jesters..

Interesting thought on the above ratings. Watched the CT and TB play in a fall tournament. I think some teams ARE going to be a bit surprised with TB and fl$. Laying low, not bragging, not commenting on the threads. Hmmmmm, should prove to be an interesting and great lacrosse season. My money is still on Smash and Igloo, but let's see how things finish for TB & fl$. Ok, start ripping.

Express ranked too high. Lost to a bunch of town teams. True Blue is a B team. They are not laying low, they hide in obscure tournaments so they don't play anyone. Jesters beat fl$ easy in Yale. Outlaws improved. Could be best after smash and igloo.

Otherwise, right on!

You must be proud of yourself for knowing so much about so many different 5th grade travel teams. Really, very impressive!

A lot of teams have improved. Much more parity now. Kids moving around to different teams and kids progressing at different ages. Only constant is Smash as the clear No. 1 (not a Smash parent).

Outlaws are a B team.

True Blue is a new team which is yet to be seen which bracket they belong in..They'll have no problem with the jesters or fl$..TB is not in hiding we did one tournament after 3 practices with a new team and played ok..

You must be the same Igloo parent promoting them. What makes you think they are 2 ? Have they even played TLI ? Outlaws over United ? Didn't they beat their 6th grade team this Fall ? Let see what happens this spring.

I'm not the guy who made the ratings. Just someone who saw your post and wanted to point out how ridiculous it looks to rattle off game results of all these 5th grade teams.

Smash igloo and united top teams. After that express outlaws TLI not close to those yet.

You must be great to be on sidelines with. Parents and refs must love you. So witty and resort to name calling so quickly. I'm sure you don't embarrass your kid too often.

Is express 2022 going down to Maryland? It'll be interesting to see how they do if they go, they've had a tough start to the MC era. Where do you see this club stacking up in the summer?

And your asking who ? You expect an honest answer ? Wrong place for that. I'll try. They should be better then last year , as all the teams should be. Smash , United , Igloo , Express should all have improved. Will be competitive games.

Express canceled just days before the scrimmages with Hawks, Diamonbacks, and Cannons were supposed to occur.

This is a 2022 thread. Please refer to Express 2022 to the 2023 thread going forward. That's where they are competitive.

Express 2022 will do fine give Channy some time with these kids

Too funny.

When referring to TLI 2022 team, is it the U11team or the U10 team?

u11

That's funny because a couple of my sons friends are on the TLI U11 team and they started kindergarten late so they are both going on 12 years old. HMM, no wonder why their so big. You can what you want but that team should be playing 2021 teams.

TLI best 2022 player (only player) is 11 years old is a hold back. Played football with my son two years ago. He is small but 11. That's ok ?

That's cool, my son is small for his age two, I'm talking about kids that are almost twelve and are clearly bigger and much more developed. My son just turned 10 in September and when he is the smallest kid on his school team, he tried out for TLI U 10 team he was clearly bigger and more developed. I liked the team and the coaches but I felt like he was playing down.

why is there so much to talk about Team Long Island on this thread? In 3 years my sons travel team and town team played them once and it was the town team. a lot of talk but no action. very odd

So long as we can all "say what we want", I'll say this: if those TLI kids that are 11, turned 11 on or after September 1, 2014, than no, they should be playing 2022 teams. I say this after actually reading both the US Lax & NY State athletic guidelines and requirements.

You are a spilt milk guy. Cry all you want, but TLI is within all appropriate standards and guidelines.

Who cares about TLI???????

Everybody knows that the hot 2022 team to beat is 91 smash. I'm tired of hearing about how great thi TLI U11 team is but I don't see them in the big tourns. Who are they playing a bunch of town teams?

So long as we can all "say what we want", I'll say this: if those TLI kids that are 11, turned 11 on or after September 1, 2014, than no, they should be playing 2022 teams. I say this after actually reading both the US Lax & NY State athletic guidelines and requirements.

You are a spilt milk guy. Cry all you want, but TLI is within all appropriate standards and guidelines.

Are they in 5th grade? Will they graduate in 2022?? If not, then they can't play 2022. End of story. Those are they rules. Others skirt the rules by leaving kids back. Unfortunately that's a better way to get an advantage. Just playing down because you somehow justify the rules to your advantage doesn't actually work. If you have one kid who is graduating in 2021, you should play 2021 or u11. End of story.

I really hope this is not a true blue parent making these comments about a brand new team. My Son plays on this first year team as well and at this point it is not a team that will compete with any of the top few teams in the age group. Please stop with the comments all it does is get the masses going and talking crap. The team has a great coach and a good set of kids, If we can finish the year as a strong B team and build from that next year it would be a great success.

Stop the nonsense and just let the kids play and enjoy themselves.

No excusses just stateing the facts..haha!

Maybe you should go back to 6th grade...your spelling indicates that much!

That's funny! There's always a lax mom on the blog that points out spelling.. Please! the men are speaking..go tend to the house work..don't you have some floors to scrub..

^^^^ To above poster(s): I am associated with TB and haven't been on BOTC in over a month. Whatever is going on with these previous posts is uncalled for. As many of you know there seems to be quite a few 'trolls' on this board who like to cause problems. If you post under anonymous and make unsubstantiated claims or nasty comments, your opinion means absolutely nothing (this has been an ongoing issue on the True Blue thread as well) And if you are a parent, you are way out of line and hope you grow up before we move forward. You will be found out if so.......guarantee you that

As far as the 2022 team going to NJ this weekend. Yes, they are a new squad - right now a B to B+ team who have a great (as in respectful) group of kids. Not to mention having a HC who is a current college coach who truly wants these kids to develop to the best their potential. Learning, and winning some along the way. The boys want to simply play and have fun. Please leave the 'predictions' and uncalled for comments at the door. Thank you

Before you do the investigation to find someone out, you should look on your sideline. If you read back, certainly sounds like a TB parent starting this conversation. They are 5th graders. Let them play is right attitude. Just make sure everyone knows it!

Express had a good showing today at the National Indoors.

A good showing ? I guess they beat Steps ? Your gonna brag about beating TB ? Stars and Stripes too ?

Thanks for the label, because if they play "spring/summer" like yesterday, it would be just fine regardless of wins or losses. Funny how you share something on social media about a team or individual accomplishments you get likes, hearts, shares, favorites, etc. And here you get the opposite. Can't you just say nice job can't wait to play you guys..

nice to see the bitter ex express parent still busy as a little beaver trying to justify some worped sense of superiority. Talk to us in 9th or 10th grade when all this starts to matter. If you saw the games you could see this "new" team is already starting to work together. Good showing means good lacrosse. Win or lose. Go back under your rock ....and no it was 2022.

The Rising Sons are one of the groups that "get it" in youth lacrosse. Great time was had and the boys really enjoyed it- they just went out and played... 91 was a very good team as was much of the other competition. Fun youth lacrosse...

Thanks for showing us what genuine feel good lax looks like, unfortunately, we did that and do that periodically on li already. That all said, bring your best and play smash.,the current best li team in this age group. See here in li, we gave plenty of options for feel good lax but we like to be the best.

speak for yourself. Not all li people are as rude as this poster. He obviously has some issues.

for this tournament you had to put down your child's birthdate not just the graduating year. it was supposed to be a 5th-6th grade bracket. we were supposed to play up. it was changed the day of the tournament to just 5th. no 6th graders are on the team. we can leave that to the other "top" teams and they know who they are. all your child is going to be doing is defending why they are older. he's an All American, of course he is, he was held back. he's not an All American, why not, he was held back. whatever the scenario it's not fair to put the kids in that position. eventually, they will just go by birth year so all the shenanigans cease. if not there will always be comments about how it's not fair and will be used as a reason for winning or losing.

let me guess. the scrubbing floors guy is about 5'9"-5'10" on a good day. works out like a fiend and has a little man's complex. real men don't insult woman unless they feel somehow inferior. is this is what this forum has been reduced to?
don't answer. it's obvious.

This is a 2022 thread. Please refer to Express 2022 to the 2023 thread going forward. That's where they are competitive.

Too funny.

keep laughing. just wait. it's a brand new team. once MC crafts this team it will be a powerhouse. it may take a few seasons but it will be a top team. it certainly wasn't last year. you just go on your smash love fest and have a ball. if your kid isn't starting you are wasting your time at this level. happy new year.

ooh. sour grape guy again. how bad is your kid. come on. it's obvious you need to bash and condemn because you are not getting any satisfaction from your own kids play. if you were you wouldn't have to take your frustrations out on express. feel bad for you. even if we play 2023 as long as it's competitive what's the difference at this level. get a grip. you wanting us to fail will make our future success that much more sweet. smash plays up. good for them. it's all about competition and developing your skills. you can ha ha and laugh all you want. it just makes you that much smaller. don't you worry about us. we will be just fine. I do worry about both of you though.

no he can't because it's all about trying to make himself feel better based on a team's wins and losses. how bad did he get burned by express? he still hasn't answered since his last bashing of express.

nice job, express. it was a pleasure to see the boys improvement in such a short period of time. the training in this program is second to none.

In a few seasons this team will have maybe 3 or 4 of the same players. New kids will come and go. Settle down and look in the rear view mirror.

What will you do when you aren't at the top. The list speaks for itself. If you have to post you obviously need a lot of reassurance.but whatever makes your day.

because they beat express is referring to igloo beating them in a scrimmage game early fall.

whaddya talking about? wth?

On here bragging about express winning this tournament. Who'd they beat? True blue? Stars and Stripes? Steps? Your kidding right? Beat smash or igloo or united then talk. Your fall consisted of beating TLI and outlaws. Rest of wins were a joke. Losses to a bunch of town teams and bandits. I'd say there is a lot of work to do before the summer season.

^^^Wow, not too quick on the uptake are you??

Going to spell it out for you in ABC/123 language like PreK - Express 'A' team played in a 'B' tourney -- They SHOULD be holding up the championship banner
Truly, the ignorance on this board is baffling

Some are ignorant. Some are just idiots. You may touch on both?

It all boils down to this! A lot of these teams have just been assembled this fall. All this talk about who is the best team who won this tourne and who should be in A and who should be in B is a waste of time. Wait until the end of summer and then talk the talk when the teams have been proven. And why do you think 91 teams like smash and the 2023 bandits are so good. because most of the kids have been playing together for years. a lot of parents do this, they get their kid on a travel team and if they don't start winning right away their ready to jump ship. You have give these kids a chance to get used to playing together and gel or it's never going be successful.

To answer someone's question� saying that True Blue does not have a A team. True Blue has two 2022 teams one with Coach Bentz and one with Coach Yberg. Both teams are working very hard , Coach Yberg team is in tournaments. And Coach Bentz team is only doing training now for the upcoming season. So you cannot say True Blue does not have an A team because we do not no yet. We will see after the summer. And all you guys have all negative comments about all teams not just True Blue. Why don't we let all the boys from all the teams just play the game and have fun with something that the boys love and stop all the comments. And I will start it now, I hope all the boys have a great season and Good Luck to all the boys on every team��...

Nice - I like it- 2022 is a special group of talented kids. Let's sit back and enjoy the ride because it really doesn't matter what tournemnets you won or lost when you are 10 yrs old. Let's try and keep this a positive thread this year. Happy New Year !!!!

Yes. Well said. We just like to get under the anti express guys skin and its working. He cant help himself. His distain is priceless.

How's that?? When the schedule played was posted on the Tourney Website 4 days in advance

You shouldn't be. Your not at that level. You'll need to add quite a few more players to reach my sons team. But hey, never know. Express is a middle of the pack team this year. Nothing wrong with that. In a few years it might be different. 4th or 5th this year.

What are you all talking about? How about you simply convince your coach to show up and play. This age group is going to be fun on a competitive level, stop with the nonsense. Look at the fall season (don't care about ranking or last season) Outlaws and Express are both very much improved over last year, Igloo and TLI are still very, very good and Smash is still best team. They'll be blowouts, tight games, and a surprising win or loss along the way. Let's start praising the accomplishments and not devaluing them.

Looking for top LI teams to scrimmage 2022 team

Cracking up on here to hear Express A bragging about a championship in a B division how you beat these teams. Dude, stop living your life vicariously through your son. The summer will tell all. Express A will NEVER beat Smash or Igloo. As a betting man, I'm going to put some money on True Blue and Stars to come back and beat your butts! At least those teams are being coached by college coaches.

Where are you from?

you wouldn't have to keep interjecting if you were that sure of yourself. I sense your child doesn't get a lot of playing time otherwise you wouldn't have to keep bashing. No one is bragging but you

college coaches for 10 year olds. Just what they need. Give me a break with your nonsense.go back to your thread already please.

Hey idiots, not talking about my son. Just reading the comments on this thread about Express and other 2022 teams that seem to get a constant bashing. My son doesn't have a college coach so perhaps you should go back and read the postings before you make your ignorant comments.

I see you guys all have so much to say about travel teams and ranking them. So I will ask you 1 question, lets see you rank travel town team from 1 to 10. The best teams. I would like to see your top team�.From last year travel team.

now who's the idiot. There is a posting about college coaches. Dont be so defensive. This is all anonymous. So who really knows who is responding to their own posts. Therefore nothing on this site can be deemed credible. After this post another response can come in but is it my response or yours. This is all very silly

Have you people been to a tournament ? I consistently are Islip, Nortport and Massapequa beating every single team on this list!!

Hopefully Islip, Northport and Massapequa show up to Sachem &/or Syosset shootouts. Didn't see any of them in Syosset last spring. Wasn't Sachem last year....

Massapequa did play in the Sachem lacrosse shootout last year . Massapequa travel town team is the Mohawks and if I'm correct they won the Sachem shootout last year.

I wish PAL actually had meaningful games. With town travel teams being the norm, PAL play has become meaningless.

PAL has had an A division for 5th and 6th grades for the past few years.
It provides excellent competition for the top town teams.

Nassau PAL - In no particular order and probably missing a few - Manhasset, GC, Farmingdale, CSH, Northport, Port Washington, West Islip, Massapequa, Harborfields, Wantagh, Syosset...

Would love to see 3V and Smithtown join as well.

I know most of the towns listed have more than one team per age and usually try to split teams equal skills wise. Are you saying 5th grade is the age PAL/towns stop this and combine all their top players on one team?

Yes ,in my town it starts in 5th grade. The kids have a tryout for the A team and if you do not make it you are on the B team. And they try to split so they have enough on each team.And it not by position, just top kids for A ...

Yes

If the guy who runs your town's PAL lacrosse program allows it.

Perhaps the people who run the town's PAL see how the kids really play, not through the eyes of the parents who think their kids are good enough for D1 scholarships at the age of 10!

Can't fault the parent, they are only listening to their (insert travel team name) coach who tells them that right before they ask for that $1600 tuition check, $300 winter training, $200 helmet order etc.

The travel teams know. They win lots of tournaments and winning at 10 is the golden ticket to D1 glory

Doesn�t this dilute the talent level and competition in all the lower brackets. Small towns with only one team probably will not be able to go in the A bracket anymore and will not have completion in lower bracket. This format sucks for them.

Not sure I understand your take on this. Are you saying small towns will not be allowed to compete in the A division, or not strong enough to compete in the A division?

My understanding is that any town, regardless of size, is allowed to enter a team in an A division. This format allows for ability appropriate match-ups.

its 5th grade PAL. No playoff .no championship. Let your son play with his friends, play different positions, and just have fun before the travel craziness wrecks his summer months.

There is a seating board. They decide who is in what division and who they play. Find out who runs your PAL. If he has connections you should be put where you are supposed to be. If he is not in the loop he will be left out of all the manipulating that goes on. Its all politics. The kids ultimately are the ones who suffer. At least PAL dissolves by middle school.

I'm sorry, but aren't the "daddy coaches" volunteers? If you don't like the job they are doing, why don't you pick up a whistle and so it yourself? PAL is about even playing time, changing positions, and having fun. If this isn't being done in your town, talk to your PAL president and volunteer.

Is anyone doing the MLK tournament

Our daddy coaches are former and present high school coaches in our district. Yes they are volunteers. Keep your stones in your pocket or as last poster said pick up a whistle.

I'm only guessing here, but not likely because it's a waste of time.

Sound off what tournaments are teams thinking to enter?

Young guns

I'm sure most if not all teams should be in Laxfest. And hopefully ALL teams will be in their actual age bracket. This every team playing up is getting old. Play your age and if u go undefeated then great. I'm sure Igloo United Express will give Smash good games .

Express is not going to laxfest.

Smash should only play up in A div they are so much better than the rest of the 2022 teams. Let rest fight it out against each other and get better. Maybe in a few years they will be ready to compete with Smash, I dout it

You are crazy. They are 11 yr old boys that live in the same locale as the boys on the other LI teams. Smash kids are not freaks of nature. No superstars , just a group of 20 that work very hard. As do the boys on some of the other teams. Mark my words that a couple of other LI teams will give them very tight games. What Smash did is hype themselves up with out of state wins and now think they are untouchable against their peers back home. Play your age and see how the others fair against. I bet you don't.

another bitter smash mouth living their every breath on their kids team ranking. very sad. if you were that satisfied there would be no need to put other teams down. very sad.

Why is it a mistake?

They are overrated. Great team no doubt , but not a Crush caliber team.

Smash is a better caliber team now. Wait until their older scary.

Yea ok. I'll bet half the kids aren't on the team next year. If your saying Smash I better now than Crush was at this age then your new to the scene .

Smash is a very well coached team that has been together for a while. Give MC a year or two and he will recruit the players to beat that team. His talent level is almost there. They just need a few more pieces and time to jell, smash will be dethroned. United catching up. Igloo would give them a heck of a game right now.

Who cares? It's 5th grade lacrosse!!! Chill out and enjoy watching all of these boys play and develop. What I see here is embarrassing. The talent level at this age group is off the charts. I could care less who is better than who. I am enjoying watching my son play with the best of the best in his age group and look like he belongs. Some of you people need to get a grip

Igloo will beat Smash this season if they play each other.

Smash has already lost multiple games against other 2022 teams w more to follow

What are you smoking? Smash was never threatened by another pour 2022 team. Also check out the new uniforms this year.

thats funny cause Smash doesnt even play grade level-every club team knows that here on LI

they play in the A bracket up a grade

Originally Posted by Anonymous

with kids the same age

Let's all slow down. Smash is very good, got beat in Maryland last year. Had some very close games with igloo, United and 32. Great team, great coach, definately the team to beat but no need to beat them up or beat them down. They are the best on LI until proven different and a top team in the NE. So congrats to them.

Smash Parents pounding their chests...the team is awesome, the kids are respectful, the coaches are solid...why ruin it? Cheer with class. Especially when you come on here to boast how good your little Johnny's team is. It's already been established, so there is no need to talk. Sal was talkative in between the pipes, but he was funny and kept things funny. His players seem to follow that lead. Why can't the parents?

Yes I sent my son last season and he thought it was slow going at first but really ended up enjoying and learning things that he is using now.

Why is Smash not at young guns Crabs tournament. Best of the best from New [lacrosse] to Virginia.
Hawks
Cannons
Crabs
Freedom
Igloo
Diamondbacks
Madlax
Rising sons

I think they are scared of Igloo 2022 and ALL its New Addition KC7

I'm sure they are not afraid to play Igloo. As of now with that weekend off , I'll be thinking of you all enjoying your 4th of July on a field in the middle of nowhere when it's 90+ degrees. Have fun.

I think there are going to be a few teams that give smash a run for their money: express, united and especially igloo. I think igloo might be better. That age group is closing rapidly. Smash was great when half the kids didn't play travel lax.

Did your advanced scouts tell you this?

You people are out of your mind!!!! Talking trash about this nonsense, you should all be embarrassed of yourselves. 2022 has a boat lot of talent, but fact remains that Smash is the class of the field until someone knocks them off. So far it has not happened. Please get out from behind your computer screen and spend sometime with your child. They are in 5th grade, who cares who is better than who. Be happy that your son is able to play such a high level of lacrosse at such a young age. The future is very bright with this age group, don't be so caught up in who is better than who.

Will smash be playing any of the 2022 long island teams this summer?

The greene turtle isn't a tournament in the fall, it's a showcase. Not to mention it was the first time the team played together and not to mention Crabs was up 2 with a minute left and the ball. We'll see how that goes this spring.

In the NPYLL Autumn Classic they went undefeated and won tournament. Breakers, Madlax, Philly Freedom, and a couple canadian teams were there.

You "heard" lots of talent? Ok express daddy. You sound like a 91 parent now.

Topic started by saying Crabs 2022 aren't very good. They were up on Hawks by 2 with a minute left in their first ever game.

Guess this means Hawks aren't very good either right?

All of the NPYLL teams have been shaken up quite a bit with the new age rules. I bet half the starters on most of the teams have changed. The Npyll 2022 will be stacked this year. No weak teams in the A conference: Crabs, Madlax, Club Blue, Next Level, Bethesda, Breakers, Hawks, and Cannons. I'd be surprised if anyone goes undefeated.

Most of those teams are playing this weekend at the Next Level Tournament.

Nassau PAL A Division this year; CSH, GC, Harborfields, KP, Man X 2, NPT, Port.

Should be fun season and very competitive games. A lot of these Kids know each other from club ball. CSH could be the strongest but I don't see anybody going undefeated.

Port will dominate

Does the Nassau PAL operate with standings and playoffs? I so wish Suffolk did.

Think its the new common core math that is throwing everyone off. What used to be 10-3 with common core becomes 16-3.

Outlaws are never beating express. Outlaw goalie played great. Probably 20 saves. Without him score would of been 20-3. And express was missing 2 middies. Would of been worse. 2021 express scrimmaged 2021 outlaws. Heard score was 13-2. Good hard played game all around.

And express will never beat smash or united or igloo. Who cares. These kids are competing with eachother and making friends. They are having fun. The parents on the other hand are lunatics. Arguing on a forum about which team is better.

It's PAL for Christ's sake.....let them play with thier school friends. Leave playing up for club ball.

Rules state that you can play up, not down. Most kids don't because PAL is for playing with their friends. Some people in my town played up to get their son playing earlier then moved him back down. It happens, but not often.

Your kid hasn't improved because of the director ? Some of that has to fall on the shoulders of the kid, parent and coaches.

The coaching is not near as good as I would have thought. I know for a fact Express kids practice much more often and also seems like Outlaws kids aren't improving at all. As a team taking step backwards!!!

Go play for express then your kid could be 1 of 30 kids on the team. You could get a lot more practices. But then you would be on here complaining about how much $$$ your spending. Wine wine wine

If we work hard, we can beat anyone. We just need to practice. Stop being negative.

No one is being negative. We have a good team no doubt, but I paid for an A team that I thought would be able to compete with the likes of Express or 91. That is NOT us!

When you practiced in the fall you lost to express in a braveheart. All you need is more time together. You should ssk for your moneyback if your not happy after one game against a team that has practiced all winter and it was outlaws first time out.

Lack of practice together is the big problem with Outlaws. I wish winter practices were offered, even if it was additional $$. I'm sure most would have signed up. Clinics with Blatant kid are no substitute for teams practicing together.

you people need to have your heads examined. One scrimmage and the ski is falling. Should be an interesting season with lunatic parents like this.

Who said did not get beat fair and square? Express won and deserved to win. Your a complete a------. Looking to stir the pot. I am an Outlaw Black parent and we are very happy with the team and coaches!!! If your not happy instead of commenting anonymously on BOTC man up and speak with Pat Brennan or Coach Charlie. But you are too much of a coward to do that. I can only imagine the crap your telling your son about the team and organization.

This is the same jerk who complained too much and has was thrown out of igloo and thrown out of manhasset. He is a chronic complainer. Anyone who knows him felt bad for outlaws when he landed there. No reflection on the kid, but the dad and mom are lunatics.

If anyone works hard they can beat anyone. That's not the issue. The issue is promoting the club as an A club when its not. There's no practice and it sucks! That's why we suck!

so I guess your son sucks also

Just so I'm clear...these kids you are hammering are in 5th grade right?

You are surprised by this? Go look at a second or third grade thread, it gets even worse.
Bottom line, the kids have fun anywhere they play, its the parents ego's that needs to be fed. And if a 10 year old is that driven to win at all costs, it's stemming from the parents.
Enjoy them playing while you can because if they hang up thier cleats, you will have nothing to do.

That is what's wrong with society these days. Oh its ok if they lose as long as they have fun losing!! Winning is more fun and this team will not beat any elite teams but will win the games and beat the mediocre teams. I did not sign my kid up to be mediocre! If you are touting an A program then put A talent on the field!

OK I'll bite.
I agree with you that winning is more fun. I also agree that losing with dignity and using it to drive you to get better is just as important.
If your child is a top 10 player on his team and you think he can be a top 10 player on a better team, then by all means move him to that team.
I do not promote being mediocre. I promote working hard to succeed. I think you are a bit over the top with your comments about 10 year olds.
I hope you realize that IF your son plays in college, they won't care what team he was on nor how many games they won. As well, every club has an A team. If your ego requires your son to be on the best A team out there, again, go for it. It will feed your ego well. I just hope your son is on the field as much as he would have been.

I just want to get it straight. You spent 2200 for your child to play on a B team being labeled as an A team, and that's OK with you? I get the fact that its not a matter of life and death but I am saying I want what I paid for!

That's a fair enough statement.
I guess the only option for you is to seek out a different club either this season or wait until next season.

Again!

This whole thing about the outlaws being a B team is nonsense.
Express, 91 smash, 91 united, igloo, jesters and outlaws are all A teams. The rest are B teams. Outlaws will be competitive with all these teams come the summer season. Especially after practicing together. Is express a B team? They cant beat united smash or igloo. Is united a B team? They've ever beaten smash. Is igloo a B team? They've never beaten smash. In your eyes there is only 1 A team on long island. Simply not true. All these teams are competitive. Including the outlaws. You will see by summer season.

I sure hope so cause I'm not seeing it now! I see a lot of disorganized play and chaos. I would love to be proved wrong !

No, we tried out and made the team. We were told its an A team. I see the light now how we are told one thing and to pay the money, then we were delivered a different experience.
What teams play year round so that I can try out for them next year?

Honestly, you were at tryouts - if you had any scope of what a lacrosse player is, you would be able to decipher if there were enough 'A' players at tryouts - if that's in fact what you wanted......an 'A' team - Apparently you have no clue, and in your opinion - got screwed --- this falls on you buddy -- do the rest of us a favor and stay away from the rest of the clubs. We may want your son, but we sure don't want you

If I may interject. All programs regardless of their name try and put A teams together in every age group. At tryouts there may seem to be enough players to field an A caliber team but once tryouts are over no one really knows who will accept an invitation. Some players use other teams tryouts as warm ups for their first choice teams. Others are sent down to see who from their program is trying out for other teams. Players also get invited to multiple teams and choose the best one for them. So if a parent is at a tryout it may seem there are enough A caliber players at a particular tryout but no way were those players intending on staying on with said team. It has happened with many programs recently because of all the new start ups. It happens a lot with older teams especially.

The complaining person knows his kid can't make smash or even take the position of a kid on united, express etc, he got thrown out of ogloo (the parent, not the kid), so he ended up on outlaws. The parents are nuts. If you don't know them, you will, stay away.

Poor kid. He's worked hard and gotten better, but you're right, the parents are completely nuts.

"No, we tried out and made the team. We were told its an A team. I see the light now how we are told one thing and to pay the money, then we were delivered a different experience.

Notice how it goes from "we" to "I"?

I always thought this was supposed to the about the kids? Hmmmmmm.....

Mommy is a complete phony. $3 bill

Lets start here. The Outlaws talent evaluators/coaches are obviously lacking. I'm not saying no one on our team is an A player but we have A LOT of suspect players in various positions. My other problem is this, Outlaws has their tryout so early and wants a commitment right away that kids don't have a chance to try out for other teams. So my kid make the team and we are told Black it the A team and Silver is the B team. I will say they need to re-evaluate the way they pick kids on Outlaw teams!

I think their talent evaluation and coaching is just fine, backed by college coaches opinions who continue to commit players from the Outlaws Organization. The big picture is playing for a club, showing loyalty and building a team and improving your sons skills. Then by the time they get to HS the loyalty and hard work is replayed by getting into top recruiting camps, showcases and prospect days.. As well as playing in the top tournaments. If you and he doesn't buy into that, than I am sure the Outlaws have no problem seeing you and your son leave after the season.

OK we all have opinions. Mine is that I think we have been sold a bad bill of goods. Again if you tell me that BLACK is and A team I will say your wrong. I may not know everything but I do know that watching this team that we are not an A team. We went to PA and got killed by those teams! I don't want to hear that they were older if we were that good (like 91 smash) we could play in the U brackets and compete!

If that's the case he should return all of our money! He told all of us that our kids made the A team and its not true!! If paid 2200 to watch other teams get better while we stay idle then your the crazy one not me!

So you sat idle this winter- did you think to better your sons ability to play by doing some training with him or just sit around as you say IDLE. If you are so unhappy call the director and voice your concerns and if your not happy with the answers then leave. Move On

OK how many kids are on the team that were there last year? More than half the team in new and next year it will be the same thing because if you don't win people are not willing to stay!!!!

So you wont call him, and you come on this site to call him names and complain- I think that makes you an AS$

That is because most of the time it isn't a parent on the team it is someone else causing problems. Ex player etc.

Not sure why you're jumping on this mom/dad for voicing their opinion. If you're a parent of a teammate then comfort them face to face if not mind your business. This is why kids cyber bully other kids because of the way you people act in here

Ok. Enough with that topic. We get it. You don't like them. Let's move on.

How about Team Long Island, would they be considered an A team?

Do they even play anymore ?

Yes they do and will beat any of these teams including smash. Team LI

What tournaments are TLI playing in this spring/summer ?

Express - as I am sure a handful of other so-called 'ranked' teams have some 6th graders (2021) playing on the 5th grade (2022 Team) To rank any team that has kids playing down is absurd.....please correct me if I am wrong - Did experience Exp 'play-down' first hand. However, not sure about others. Not singling out Exp, just calling it as was seen and confirmed. Asked kid on field what grade he was in, thinking he should have answered 5th not 6th - sad

Get used to it. Lacrosse allows kids to play according to graduating year. Not age. All teams are now doing it with parent coaches owners consent. Don't act like you discovered something. Its well known. The kid may be older but he is in fifth grade. Not agreeing with it. Just stating what is rampantly becoming the norm.

Smash #1 well above the rest.
Top five LI teams going into this season
1 Smash
2 TLI
3 Igloo
4 United
5 Express
See what happens

Since we all love and hate rankings... Igloo is 2nd and Express is 3rd. Its IMHO based on the games played since the tryouts.

Your "rankings " are horsesh*t. Considering those teams rarely play each other. Igloo beat express in some indoor place so they are better. United hasn't played either so they dropped off ? Smash hasn't played them either . TLI , well who knows what they are up to. You identified yourself as an Igloo parent. Probobly the same one who has been on here all winter. The best thing for these boys competition is to have a local spring league on LI where they can play each other. And out of state teams can make the trek on a Saturday to play. But no , there's meaningless tournaments all spring now . Small fields and running clock games. What a waste.

At NXT in July, TLI beat Igloo and Smash beat TLI. Neither of the games was close. Draw your own conclusions.

And United lost to Smash by 2. That was last July. I'm sure each team has a handful of kids who are new.

So you are saying that the 5'8 125+ defenseman who stated he was 6th grade during a 2022 game is wrong?? Listen, he may have been a 'filler' for that tourney and may not be on the official roster......but he was there - the Tourney directors were well aware of it when complained (apparently, so did other teams) -- but even if Exp needed fillers. Why not pull kids from 2023...not 2021?? Safety is apparently not a concern - we can see the writing on the wall on what is.

TLINGIT U11 team is very good, u10 on this list don't make me laugh.

Are these two ex igloo parents the people who were the lacrosse head suits and race at the lizards games?

Not true. Express lost to 91 Bandits, a 2023 team. So doesn't that put Express below them?

Wasn't there a much older kid playing for the Bandits that scored every one of their goals in that game?

No, they had 1 2022 kid playing with them. That's it. Express shouldn't even be in the conversation in this age bracket.

Then the answer is YES, they did have an older boy playing for them. A holdback 2022. So let's just clarify that

Don't know enough to comment about the order, but 3V isn't as good as they think they are. I have. 2022 son who left because of the guy who runs the age group.

And Express beat Team Long Island. So what this all means is it should be good lax in this group over the next 4 months. Who will be at Blatant on Saturday.

Does that make him a true 2021 player?

Why don't we check all rosters and DOB. They do it in NCYFL. It works great. If kid is to old he has to play up. It's simple.

Your all a bunch of babies! Its kids lacrosse, if one or two kids is a year older WHO CARES!! It is not going to change the game at all! Its a team game not and individual sport!!!!

Cmon, not babies .its rampant in certain areas.
Its recommended by MC

One of the Stanwick boys wasnt a 21 year old freshman? PG or no PG. How did that happen?

yes, the writing is on the wall. witnessed a game today. there is no integrity left in this game. berating kids is pathetic. a real man doesn't do that no matter how much people are paying him to pretend their kids are good.

wht is that last post all about?

Hi -- we are new to the area. Moved to South Setauket from Delaware. Looking for lax for my son. He's in 5th grade. I know the teams are set up, but I was hoping for him to train with a team until tryouts in the fall.
Our town team is 3 village but I'm hearing tins of horror stories. There's also a Empire which trains at SBU, but i don't know much about the,m.
Please help!

Welcome... Empire would be a good place for you to give a call for more information. Teams really haven't even started yet and this is a new organization. So everyone on the team is a new player.
Good luck to you and your son.....

Honestly, what you should do is register as a user and post this information on the try outs board. You will get better information as the coaches/trainers and managers will reach out to you and you can put in contact information. This is a bad way to get accurate information.

You Should go to the Three Village Web Site and reach out to who ever is in charge of that grade level. Don't believe everything you read on this web site.

I am from Three Village and I know for a fact we can put him on a team today

If you want club. Email some the larger clubs on the right side of the page. I am certain some them will invite your son down to the next practice for an eval. It's been my experience that everything is the coaches desire to develop the team. So club, town travel, etc. The best situation (IMHO) is one where you have a knowledgeable coach who is dedicated.

If your son is 2022 both outlaws teams are looking for a few extra players, call the director

Jesters Green is also looking to fill some spots.

so is express. Heard they are letting a few players go.

They need to let more than a few go

word is lots of unhappy parents. Coach caters to only a few and they receive the majority of the playing time. Lots of dough to sit the bench. But what did you expect with a 30 player roster.

Are u talking about the A Team or B Team?

I hope you're not referring to the Express. As a parent, the coaching is top notch, the practices have been regular throughout, they are less than 23 kids on the team, and as a parent of a kid who isn't a starter the playing time is very balanced. Very happy with the team.

Way more than 23 kids, you're not fooling anyone.

You can't really call either Express team an "A" Team. The real question is Are you talking about the B Team or C Team?

Clearly your kid got cut.

I wouldn't say a lot of unhappy parents but there is definitely some dissension in the ranks. If there are 30 on the roster, they must be hiding the kids somewhere because that is just not the case so far. That was thrown around during tryouts too that the team was already picked and there will be 30 on the roster. I think if people knew that was not the case tryouts would have been different. Don't believe everything you read on here. It's mostly speculation.

I guess you're right... Express team 1 beat Igloo tonight. And we only had all 22 players there.

Express crushed Igloo tonight. Should have won by 5+ goals, igloo had one of their coaches refing and he called it one sided. Express had probably 10 additional good looks at goal. No doubt express is the team to beat but for smash and closing in on them.

They did..

Ref thing is stupid comment. Why do all lax people blame the ref.?Express missed the cage 5'plus times , not TBs fault.

Smoked!!!!!

The question is will smash ever play express?
Express has beat everyone now: igloo, TLI, outlaws. United is in hiding.
Let's see them play.

looks like you flew home just to type this up! Get over yourself buddy. it was a scrimmage - thats exactly what you people said when Igloo beat you in the scrimmage in the fall

igloo also beat u over the winter so keep talking ,see u soon

It's amazing. Express parents always quick to this site to brag about their wins but when they lose or win by the skin of their teeth there is not a word about the game on here. Classy!

Bandits probably 2nd best at 2022 level behind Smash.

What was score of Express-Igloo game? Just shows that things change from year to year and parents shouldn't get all crazy about rankings.

Don't get carried away. Bandits are great 2023 team. Without JS helping them out bandits lose by 5 goals to express. Great game last night with express vs igloo. Great play all around. And for the guy who keeps saying express has 30 players on the roster is ridiculous. They have 22 players. Summer tourneys are gonna be exciting. That's when it really counts.

"Counts" for what? Only thing it "counts" for is dads (and moms) coming on her to brag about how their kid's team did. What counts for 11 years olds is whether the kid is having fun and getting better.

Has nothing to do with JS. It's the hold backs. If I held my kids back, their team would kick butt also!!

It was a great game with 3 ties and 3 lead changes that could have went either way.

no one crushed anyone last night but it does put Express back in the game. they were the ones being bashed as a B team. it's kind of childish going back and forth about who wins and loses. don't underestimate any of the teams. the 2022 team has come a long way since the Bandits game in a very short time. it's pretty impressive. but there is a lot of work to be done. good luck to all.

What town teams are playing Koehler?

Express lost to Garden City in the fall. Please stop saying Express is good. They are an average A team. Igloo is also in the same boat as Express. Parents I hope your happy paying $3500 plus for an avg team. In July when you go over all the money u spent for your son playing lax it will come out to 7k minimum. Would be nice to put that in your kids college fund or a tutor

Could be you're from GC? Maybe a former Igloo parent? Either way, mind your own business when it comes to mother people's money. We are very happy.

$7K is a lot to spend on 5th grade lax. Most D1 yearly scholarships are less than that per player these days. I agree, put some of that towards a tutor and focus on an academic scholarship. The percentages are much greater on receiving one of these than for lacrosse.

Don't worry about us. Check the roster. Most are heading to private school where acedemics IS the priority. Lax is an added bonus. Last I checked garden city doesn't forego lax for tutors. I'm pretty sure you can afford both. Things are looking up we went from a B team to an average A team in less than a year. Not bad.

Glad you are happy on a so called ELITE lax team. Both Express and Igloo are overrated. 7k to play lax is silly. Go on a vacation with your family. That is money well spent. Best thing Igloo did was hire Cromwell. Express parent will someone ask MC how many kids are on his team now. One parent on that team told me 26. That is insane

No one ever said anything about what school the boys will go to for academics. It sad that you have to play for Express to go to one of the 3 catholic schools where the head coaches all OWN Express. doesn't seem to me that lax is an added bonus when you have to kiss a coaches butt, play for him,pay him and then it will be easier to get into these catholic institutions. Tutors and parents helping their children with their school work, not sucking up to MC and crew.

Believe it or not we go on vacation too. Stop reaching. If you were that happy you wouldn't have to throw stones. The rosters will fluctuate on all teams. That is the nature of the beast. There hasn't been close to 26 at any tournament. Do what is best for you. Again stop worrying about us.

Never worried about you. Just stating my opinion. If you don't like it, oh well too bad. Stay off this site if you don't like opinions

I hate to break it to you but unfortunately, sucking up or maybe just having some humility is how the ultimate game is played in all arenas. Many parents are not happy having to do all of the above but are willing to do it for their kid. Again, do what is best for your kid. Sometimes it's not always what you think is best for you. Oh, and the added bonus is for our kids. We are the ones sacrificing and trying to get them the best opportunities we can. And someone did intimate we should think about academics first. Yes, of course, we do.
Is the system fair, no. But give me one that truly is.

I'm sorry. correction. You are worried about you by trying to make us feel like we are all suckers. Sorry I'm just defending your attack on our choices. the point of this site is to discuss lax issues. telling me to stay off site is a childish thing to say. you obviously have strong animosity against certain clubs. maybe you should stay off the site for a while and calm down.

None of this bantering back and forth would be happening if parents would just stop running on here and posting "we won". Especially, since you may lose the next time out. Come on, people. Our boys have so much more opportunity than we ever had. these games are not about us, they are about them.

2022 has a bunch of talented boys. Can't wait to see them play this summer.

So true. We had our time. Now it's their turn.

who is at Syosset?

Wow. I guess your son didn't make any team. Don't be mad. It's ok. Igloo and express parents are very happy. And some of your GC boys play for both. I think we are to at 20k now. And have 40 on the roster. NOT!!!! Stop stirring the pot and tryout for a real team next year. Oh I forgot, your son didn't make it. So bash away at Express and Igloo. By the way, we all have money for their college funds and going on vacation.

By the way, we all have money for their college funds and going on vacation.

Why is GC getting bashed here? The previous poster just stated that a town team, GC, beat Express during the fall, that's it. And yes, some of the boys who didn't make the GC A team decided to tryout and play for other elite travel teams on the Island as they should. It's all good in my book.

Former Igloo/GC parent. Tuition is under 3k at Express and the instruction is excellent. Not just a bunch of middle aged men running on their "legacy"

Manhasset beat a surprisingly good Port Washington team 7-4 in a battle of in un eatens in the finals. Farmingdale and Syosset each ended up 2-0-1 and missed the finals when they tied 7-7.

Surprisingly?? Up yours.

Let's see them play.

Express needs to beat the Bandits first.

Bandits will lose to the Badgers this year for sure.

Let's rephrase that- how about a supposedly great club team which happens to have all kids from Manhasset (and rather large ones) on it almost got beat by a Port Washington town team. That game was the first time the town team has played together since last spring. So yes, up yours. Why do I have to keep telling you people to go and polish your loafers????

I totally agree with you. They will battle this year. Badgers got alot better. Bandits not so much.

Why is this Bandits /Badgers bulls**t on 2022.

Bob, please go back to the 2023 board.

The bandit Badger thing is a superiority complex thing by the badgers. Badgers record vs Bandits is 0 fer. Beat them once and you can talk a little. Or beat them once and be quiet.

How bout you open a bandit and badgers soap opera in the 2023 thread where it belongs?

There is nothing worse than a parent leaving a team to join a perceived better team after accepting a sot on that team. As a parent what kind of lesson are you teaching your kid and as a coach why would you want a kid and parents that have those set of values. I have seen it a few times and it's lowest of the low for parents and coaches. Have some dignity.

A lot of towns and not distinguishing between their PAL and travel team. they are entering the travel teams in town tournaments even it it's really a club team.

A lot of towns start dividing their PAL teams up by talent in 5th grade. So some of the better town teams will play in both travel and town tournaments. I see nothing wrong with this.

no one said there was anything wrong with it per se. just another edge everyone vying for. someone said wasn't that a town tournament? It gets quite confusing after awhile because the teams are touting each other as both. after a town tournament if a team wins against a club team everyone jumps all over it. I'm simply stating in some towns there is no distinction. the teams entering town tournaments who have a legitimate travel program or have kids on top club teams as well will have an advantage without a doubt. how many top club team helmets do you see at town tournaments. the number is growing larger every year.

But if a town team is good enough to compete at a travel/club team level, shouldn't that be considered a good thing? Seems like the original poster thinks otherwise.

So are you penalizing a boy who plays on a travel team and also plays for his town in a town tournament? Do you not want him to wear his travel helmet during town events? I doubt there are many towns out there that forbid players from wearing a non-town helmet when participating on a town team. That would be silly.

that is a good thing as long as they don't brag they are JUST a town team and they beat a CLUB team which is what is starting to happen. just play.

I think the problem here is when you have a club team that is playing in a town tornament and they are saying they're a town team and acting like they are town team when they are not

If every kid on a team is from the same town, goes to the same schools, etc, does that make it a town team?

Because Bandits have a former affiliation with Express 2022.

Couldn't agree more. Can't these post's be edited out of this thread?

I think the problem is with the parents. If all of the kids of a particular team are from the same town, they are a town team. If said team has the ability to compete at a high level in both town and travel tournaments, the boys should be applauded.

Stop pounding chest when your team wins and stop whining when your team loses. It's annoying and embarrassing.

Let the boys play and applaud both sides, regardless of the outcome.

you do not have to be from Manhasset to play on 32. I know this for a fact. They are a club team and not a town team

You're correct, in high school they allow kids from other towns. Not correct for 2022 though.

my point is pertaining to the Syosset Shootout this past Saturday. What is so hard to understand??? I am not bitter or misguided- just don't get how a club team tries to pan themselves off as a town team and then boasts about winning. Not that hard to understand. When they do well in a town tourney they claim to be a town team. When they don't do well in a club tourney, they claim to be a town team. NOT a town team.

If every kid on a team is from the same town then they are a town team. They may play all year around and in leagues and tournaments besides the spring PAL team but they have every right to enter town tournaments. Most of the good lax towns have their team playing all year around and enter tournaments and leagues throughout the year. Some of them have their kids only playing for their town team. Some of them have their kids playing for club teams also. Manhasset enters some town tournaments and some tournament that are mostly for clubs. There is nothing wrong with that because all there players are from Manhasset. The only club team they lost was Smash and no one made the town team excuse. Smash is by far the best 2022 team and there is no shame losing to them.

Anyone else hear about MC selling Express to 91? I heard this last night from someone with direct access to both parties. This is not a rumor or some BS. This is the truth. MC is almost 70 years old and getting out of the game.

REALLY!?!?!?!

MC is not near 70. More like near 60. Do you even know the man?

91 trying to corner the LI market. 100% believe it.
Its true.

Business is business. If indeed it was for sale, my thought would be that the Madlax's, 3d's, or Crabs of the world would pay a multiple of what 91 would be willing to pay. With the ties to the Catholics, existing revenue stream and access to this market, it makes for a big number.

Hey, maybe the 91 guys realized how good Express 2022 has gotten. Now 91 is hearing footsteps, so they offer to buy Express! Pure genius.

I would have to say, not so fast!pretty much every 91 team dominates Express easily. With the exception of the Turtles, who never were an actual Express team, as you had to be invited to play. 91 has the hands down,strongest teams at every level. That could explain why express could be ready to combine. Don't really like the idea, but as the top players continue to gravitate towards 91, it will be hard for the other organizations to compete.

Hey donkey, this might be tough to hear but neither give a flying f about relative lax comparisons. This is about business which I get you don't understand. Let the investment bankers handle it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in both scenarios you say that 32 is a town team, what's your point now?

MC = Navy AA in '77, '78, '79

So, if he was 22 in '79- he's likely not even 60 yet.

MC was a holdback...

Would be curious to see how many other teams in that tournament where not pure teams? It is a holiday weekend tournament, I wonder if even a Syosset team that played wasn't 100% pure.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes a Town Team is just a town team. I know it's tough for some people in PW to get their heads wrapped around that, so I'll go slow this time...every kid on 32-2022 is from Manhasset. Ergo, a town team.

Then he looks like crap!

Our town teams aren't allowed to wear any travel gear. Town game the kids have to wear town gear.

Funny that you never hear about weekends like that from the Smash-mouth parents...but if they would've gone 3-0 or 2-1, boy would this page have been lit up with braggadocious comments

So true

smash is a great team , but this is the year a 2022 long island team will beat them

This weekend Express we will beat United next up is Smash!

That's funny! They had trouble with fl$!!

Know your facts before post something.

Honestly, it was not an evenly matched game.

Ya, right, that's why you're on here midday midweek talking about how Express will beat United and Smash.

Its ironic that you come on here talking trash, and next season ou will all be expected to play nice as part of one big mega club, Express/91

What teams have ever beat Smash?

I usually don't bother posting anything in this site, I was just responding to your idiotic post, I wasn't the person who posted any previous trash talk, it just aggravates me how everybody has something negative to say about everything that is posted on
Botc, and the funny thing is, it's kids that are actually playing lax, but on here it's almost like its the parents, I can bet if any of the children who actually play for these teams saw these post, they would laugh there asses off.

Long Beach Parents of the 2022 team should be embarrassed for their behavior and banned from watching from the sidelines. When does it become about your child and not about you!!! An absolute disgrace to see these parents yell, scream and complain. But it's okay when your kids slash, punch and spit!!!

Wow, that's sounds awful. Does the PAL have a complaints department? They should be reported.

which long beach team and who did they play???

Not sure who they played but my son was training on the side field. This was at turf island. I was appalled to see this father and mother behave in such a disgraceful manner.

Real classy SOUTH SHORE THUNDER person....posting here. As an observer at the indoor game last night at Turf Island, you seem to be leaving out the main part of the story. I'm guessing you have selective memory - but that's expected. So let me fill the rest of the BOTC community in now. Remember, you opened up the can of worms. And this story can be verified by TI if someone so chooses.

Game was fun, competitive - but respectful -(No checking allowed at TI) Maybe 2 penalties the whole game - Both head coaches are friends. At one point in the game LB Team22 was up by 4 goals, but SS Thunder fought back late. They ended up scoring 2 goals in the final 2 min of the game to tie it up. With just under 15 seconds to go, Team22 cleared the ball from their own zone. Ultimately connecting with an offensive player - who scored the game winner with 2 seconds left. So, here we go...

A SouthShore THUNDER player....'AFTER' the final buzzer sounded decides to FULL baseball swing slash an unsuspecting Team22 player on his right knee - The 10yo boy goes down HARD...crying and in substantial pain (The injured T22 player was still in the defensive zone, completely out of the play and getting ready to go over to congratulate the goalie might I add). And right in front of the parent benches which are 6 feet from the field. Ref missed it b/c he was on the offensive side for the final goal. I just want to say, that T22 has played many games vs. SST (Outdoor and Indoor) - And both sides have been nothing but cordial. Even going as far as talking and joking amongst each other during game play. Nothing but respect. After the slash... many parents, both on T22 and SST where in awe of this poor sportsmanship. However, there was a Dad from SouthShore Thunder who was outright LAUGHING at the whole incident. Laughing at the injured kid on the floor, and outright 'mocking' not only the parents from T22...but the injured boys Mom, who was visibly shaken and frustrated by the whole event. This dad now continued this behavior as players walked off the field with each other. Obviously, things remained tense towards this individual as everyone intermingled. Good job SS dad, you should be ashamed of yourself. And thank you for escalating this incident more than it should have been -- I am betting the above poster who now enlightened us here......is that DAD

So you happen to know one team, but not the other?? FYI side field was closed. And the dad wasn't there. Try again.

Wow!! Its really sad that there are adults and kids in this sport that act like this ^. Hope the kids ok.

Bellmore Merrick
They had a problem in Elwood Classic too
Read that thread
They complained about Commack cheating
They cheated too
South Shore Trash

In the 3rd grade division at Elwood Classic
4th graders from Commack and Bellmore played in 3 Grade division
Gross. Disgusting. Pathetic. True.

What? A slash to injure after the final horn, or cheating in the 3rd/4th grade. I am confused. By the way, both are unacceptable.

For this South Shore Thunder club?

Once again, can we move south shore and comic to the 2023/2024 thread, doesn't sound like either club is worth talking about on here

Does anyone realize this is a 2022 thread?

My kid was training on the side field as well it ended well before the incident happened I stuck around with my son to watch our neighbors kid play. Yes the Long beach dad and mom were very upset but they were upset that the south shore dad was laughing at the injured player and saying he wasn't tough enough then he continued mock the mom because she was upset that her kid was laying on the field in pain. If my son was the hurt player I would have been plenty pissed off that someone was laughing at him. just bad sportsmanship!!

Lighten up Francis.....it's kids lacrosse

What a disgrace about SS Thunder. But not surprised. That same player who slashed the Team22 kid has been thrown out of games in the past for unsportsmanlike conduct. And plenty of penalties for cheap shots. One day the goom squad is gonna get him. And we'll see if his parents laugh then.

This did not happen, a sidearm shot at the buzzer hit the long beach kid in the leg when time expired. There was no maliciousness on the play.The father did not laugh or make fun of a child on the ground. The father reacted to the child on the ground in a way any parent would have. The other dad responded in a condescending way that was appropriate. Long beach was a little dirty the whole game!!! SST reacted appropriately!! Move on!!!

Thanks for the robotic clarification....

B/C you say so.....it must be true.

Apparently SouthShore Thunder has had problems with other multiple teams in the past. As well, as caught cheating at Elwood. Can only imagine how many other tournaments they weren't caught at. Take this guys opinion and throw it out the door. Hope you aren't a Thunder admin, If you are, not only are you a proven cheat, but you are a puppet as well. If someone was wondering why SST is not listed as a club here, we now can assume why.
Maybe it time for this whole organization to 'Move On'

Just checked the Thunder link to the right >>>> Is this a joke??

Count down todays!

Lets get the facts straight....No One saw what happened, The coaches, parents and Ref. everyone was looking at the play as it advanced up field. All we know is that a player was hurt. There are many different version of what happened. The long beach Mom and dad were trying to get on the field during the hand shake line, a parent on the south shore side made an Ill advised joke to the long beach mom to lighten the mood. It DID NOT work. The mom got more upset and a few words were exchanged between them. The south shore dad was laughing and he stated to her that it was no big deal but the kid needs to get tougher. After about 10 minutes on the field the parents walked off with the hurt player. The south shore parent was waiting for the long beach dad at the field exit. That is when things escalated.

The whole situation was bad. The south shore father baited the long beach dad and he took the bait. As parents were walking out the coaches, parents, players and Turf Island officials still did not know exactly what happened on the field when the player was hurt.

It was a spirited game, these two teams always play each other very hard. Its a shame a great season of box had to end this way.

Obviously the Thunder have abandoned their website. BOTC is removing the link.

It is a shame. Always had great, respectful and hard fought games together. However, there were a few individuals that saw what happened. As they were looking at the T22 goalie waiting for the celebration rush. In direct line of the after final buzzer slash. Also, the slash is actually secondary to what transpired after. Things only escalated at TI (and here on BOTC) b/c there was a SouthShore Thunder adult that acted like a child. I wonder if 'laughing dad' achieved what he hoped to accomplish by posting here initially - bashing LB parents as a whole, without telling the full story. It actually looks liked it backfired. Not only for him, but for the SouthShore Thunder organization in general. I truly hope this so called 'Dad' gets what's coming to him - bye, bye bud.....see yah around - its the only solution

BOTC has removed the link.
The dad will eventually get his, most of us do.
Let's move on.

I happen to know this player. He is very talented and has never been thrown out of a game before. Move on please. Good luck to all teams playing this weekend.

Go Smash!!!!

both LB 5th and SST 4th play dirty!! and parents are equaly crazy!!

You should know the Southshore player, you are most likely his Dad!

The United/Express Game was set up by the Express and they paid for the Refs.

I hope you are not talking about switching igloo an express Beause of the express win. Igloo beat them 3 times this year. That will keep them head of express for now. Otherwise that list is accurate. By the way, where is that parent bragging about how smash is next after express beats united. Awfully quiet in express land. Humbled a bit i would say

and the refs killed them in penalty calls. What is your point?

Rumor has it. A couple of smash kids helped out United yesterday. It was a great game regardless. Summer tourneys should be good. Hopefully all the top teams are in some of the same tourneys.

Cold Spring Harbor will wreck every team in 2022A. All play travel. Amazing talent.

I am Harborfields Parent and I though NPT was better that CSH. Anyway it should be a good game when they play.

I'm guessing someone is posing as a csh parent posting that nonsense to make them look like jerks. They've been playing well and don't need any bold, brash, obnoxious statements like that. I bet my left arm on it...

Gives the smash parents a bad name. I know a few of them and I will alert them in due time that this person posted his comments. I'm sure his stock may become devalued. Hope he gets the idea.

Gives the smash parents a bad name. I know a few of them and I will alert them in due time that this person posted his comments. I'm sure his stock may become devalued. Hope he gets the idea.

I'm sure that wasnt a smash dad at all

Lots of great action in the A Division. Kudos to PAL for making that happen for teams looking for great competition every week.

Anybody remember the wild kats tournament team from a few years ago? Are they still around?

I believe they are a 2021 team not 2022

GC over Harborfields 11-3

Pretty sure they're now the Strong Island Saints. They're a 2021 team.

That's right you're absolutely right. A lot of those kids played for the wild kats. tough bunch. Good group. I think only a few of the same kids are still there and maybe one of the coaches hung around. Saints...youre right i saw them play in a tournament last summer I think. Some good talent there.

That name is an embarrassment to long island

message board tough guys. I apologize to all the message board tough guys. I'm new to the site and I guess all the fake tough guys hiding behind the keyboard wanted to just talk about their kids team and how their kid is always open. I just figured I was on a friendly lacrosse site that welcomed fans. I guess I was wrong. but then again how could I forget.....it's long island. everyone here feels entitled and that their kid is the next Paul Rabil. just thought I'd get a normal answer as to if.anyone remembered a particular team. but it appears that going on the computer for some of u is your chance to act like a tough guy. hope I never have to officiate any of your team's games.

Yes I thought I asked a reasonable question. Figure there were some knowledgeable lacrosse coaches, parents, and fans here.....didnt know I'd offend the masses by asking if anybody remembered a team

Kats is wild! Da best

That was their coach's name right?? Real intense. Liked the way he coached. And the team responded

They have never won in maryland. The nxt in philly is a joke.

Coach of Saints not the same as Wild Katz. Many Old Wild Katz kids still play together on the Saints and some come back to play with them. They also have kids that play for other teams and the Saints as an additional team. They can compete with 2021 Top teams 4 through 8 but can't compete with the top 3.

Are you people kidding me? Honestly ask yourselves one question, is the a 2022 team on Long Island that can compete with 91 Smash?
The answer is NO that is why they have to play in the 2021 division to still have no competition on Long Island. I dont know what division they play in Maryland.

They just lost to a 2021 LI team a couple weeks ago.

CSH by 5

thanx. I look forward to seeing them play again. yeah I knew they had some kids and can compete. but yeah the top three that's tough to contend with

Smash without a doubt is the best 2022 on LI right now. I do believe teams like Igloo, United and Express are each just a few players away from becoming a Smash team.. Once those added players find themselves on those teams, it will be anybody's ball game. Smash seems as if it started at the right time with the right bunch though nothing lasts forever.

I think that was a typo. It probably should have read 'some' competition.

I expect the GC team to be outcoached by CSH...but not out yelled.

Manhasset is cledarly the best group. they are split into two equal teams!

Can anyone tell me why Suffolk teams play in Nassau PAL and no Nassau teams play in Suffolk PAL?

Nassau PAL teams dont want to drive to suffolk county to play a 1 hour lax game..2 hours in a car on a Sunday I personally would rather play in nassau and have some family time on Sunday afternoons.

Any 2022 doing Sachem Shootout?

What happened to the Smithtown team? I thought they were a top team in the age group

they are, but they just don't play PAL. We'll never know... Just as well...their pool of players is too big and they become east and west in a year anyway...

They are, but it doesn't matter, they become east/west in a year anyway...

United rolled at Pro Player today. Crushed everyone including Express. Smash and United are clearly the top teams in the age group. A number of others in the mix for the spots behind them.

I am not a CSH Parent and I didn't post the above but I don't see anything wrong with seeing where the teams are ranked against each other. Every other sport does it at this age. Tournaments at this age have playoffs and champion. I think it would be fun for the kids to have playoffs and a champion in the A division just like all the other sport do at this age.

Losers hate standings. Don't worry i am sure your kid will get his participating trophy this year and you can keep telling him how great he is.

Maybe after this season the Harborfields coach will chill out a bit...

I second that. The LI soccer leagues (starting in 1st grade), CYO basketball, travel baseball all have standings. This is also the A division and all the teams in it are all very good. Maybe it is a different story with the Division 3 and 4 teams that are more developmental but I don't think there is anything wrong with listing records in the A Division.

I agree, PAL football has an A league, playoffs and a championship. It's competitive and the kids enjoy it. I know it doesn't mean anything but I would like to see who would win this league. I think any of the top 5 teams listed up there could win it it all.

What does Suffolk PAL Lacrosse do? Do they they ave playoffs?

[quote=Anonymous]What does Suffolk PAL Lacrosse do? Do they they ave playoffs? [/quot

Nope. Do you keep it as is. Or do you go records and playoffs, etc? I think you could do both. Have an elite division with playoffs and have the other divisions with the rec/dev spirit that PAL is. And let teams choose if they want to enter a playoff division or not. A playoff system would be fun for the kids (and I don't know for the parents...)

Standings ? These are an idiots guess?! Correct?

Secondly, my son plays in college, so I don't need to tell him how good he is. He worked for everything he has achieved.

Lastly, stop living through your 5th grader. It's pathetic and unhealthy. Let your kid have fun. This isn't what PAL is about.

Couldn't agree more! While winning is always more fun than losing, doing both honorably and enjoying the game is more important. This is why PAL exists. To promote healthy competition and growth of character for kids,

Maybe the club teams in Long Island should start a league, keep standings, have a championship, etc.

Can someone please explain as to why when a Suffolk team joins Nassau PAL that all games played against NASSAU teams .....Are not away games??

I couldn't agree more. If Suffolk teams want to play in Nassau PAL, they should have to play their games in Nassau County. Nassau should not have to travel to Suffolk.

At least SWR went back to the Suffolk PAL. Nice guys but a rough trip.

Okay... PAL is wrapping up. Let's switch the conversation (and let's try not to bash) to a topic we all love and hate pre-summer season rankings.

IMHO and based on what I witnessed, here is the 9 teams for 2022 on Strong Island. Good luck to all and have fun as I am sure all of these teams will compete for a t-shirt or two...

-Smash
-United
-(TLI, Express, Igloo) all can share this spot
-Outlaws
-Jesters
-Legacy

The town hybrids (travel within town) are certainly very competitive. Haven't seen them much so I don't know how they fit in. But I am sure they would give most of these teams very good games. Are they playing at the Blatant next week?

Both of these teams are comprised exclusively of kids that live in their respective towns (in the 2022 age group). They play in both town and travel team tournaments without supplementing their rosters with kids from outside of their towns.

Any results in the 2022 A bracket?

What did happen , is they both lost to United by 10 goals!!

Is that accurate score Expess Dad?

LOL at both the Jesters and Express dads.

All you dads (and moms) will look back a few years from now and be embarrassed at how seriously you took your kid's team's records and tournament results in 5th grade. Your kid's development as a player and if he is having fun is what matters. Whether Express beat Jesters 6-2 or 10-2 or by how many each have lost to United is meaningless. I have a 5th grader and an older one. Trust me, these records and results don't matter now and definitely won't matter in a few years.

I heard npt beat csh 7- 5. Any other scores from a division.

According to the GC34 website, they lost to PW earlier this week and to Manhasset today. The other Manhasset team looked like they lost to Port today. Can anyone confirm? What about KP-Harborfields today?

Northport beat CSH on sunday 5/17 6-4 ...Northport has 1 tie (PW) with a rematch in 2 weeks and 1 loss (GC)

Northport beat CSH, GC beat Northport, PW beat GC, and CSH beat PW. Manhasset has 2 teams entered and are competing very well. It's been a great season for the boys. There are some very good teams in 2022. Great job PAL.

i think the winner of npt vs pw is top team ,take 1 or 2 kids away from csh that team loses 6 out of 8 this season FACT

Its nice to see someone compliment PAL on something.

Take a few key players away and get different results...I think the same could be said for most teams! And by the way, your statement is opinion, not fact.

Take 1 or 2 top kids off any team and they go 6 out of 8. FACT

Umm, that's what makes them part of a team and that team seems to work pretty well together... Sounds like sour grapes to me disparaging their success... Congrats to Northport. Everyone knew they were a good team and they put it all together yesterday. The Division is great and has made for competitive games almost every Sunday. CSH/Northport and PW are all right there. GC a little behind and MAnahsset if they put the two teams together probably tops. Great season.

great post a few 1 goal games that could have gone either way ,2022 has a lot of talent going to be a great 7 more years

They're 11, and Smash is better. But the gap is closing. Why some people answer like that XXXX above boggle my mind.

Half of these kids won't be on the teams in 5 years . kids get better and are replaced on these teams . Right now a majority of you are supplementing their income until they start to push for the better kids .. Just the facts about lacrosse . You will pay for extra training and drink the Kool Aid and then find out you could have paid for a year of college with the money you would have saved

Didn't you only beat them by 1 goal last time you played?

We shall see who is the best real sooooo.

United beats them this year. When will they play though?

My kid is having fun so it is worth every penny...I'll worry about college later

the little guy at x for United is EXCELLENT!

Thanks mom or dad. Loser!

or just a coach of another team that faced them in their last tournament CLOWN!

Just another big mouth making assumptions about an observation an onlooker made. !!!!!

I heard United lost some key players from last year. They are not that strong this season. Their players are small and they have no depth. They are a team to watch in the future not there yet. Good luck holding it together.

That's a lot of "I heards" but from what I saw a few weeks ago very untrue. They rolled over express A , legacy and jesters beating them all by 9 or 10. Those teams aren't smash , but all decent at that age.

Sounds a lot like Titanium last year. So rest assured, half the team will be playing for Legacy next year.

where'd the who called me a loser? so many cowards on here. a person can't make a general comment or observation without someone making a snide remark. I made an observation as an opposing coach that a particular player on United was excellent. how about this to the person that called me a loser.....what team does your son play on and what's his jersey number? I'll come watch him and come on here and post that he's good too. would you feel better

Such anger, i wouldn't give you my kids team and number in a million years. I'd be afraid that you might attack him. And such homophobia leads me to believe there night be a little Bruce Jenner in you, did you ever consider gender reassignment? it might be good for you.

Man you are one foul mouth jerk! So you would come on here to say a 5th grader is excellent and you are not the parent? If you coached against him, then after the game you go up to the kid and give him a pat on the shoulder and say you are some player. But no you coached against him and had to come on botc to say this. I find that odd.

And a little stalker like.

yeah ok and everyone on here is a saint. go look in the mirror cowards

I wouldn't hurt kids dope. I just speak to idiot adults that way after they call me a loser for making an observation about a player. Im right you're wrong

My man I'am no coward trust me. U were called out and you aren't taking the criticism well. End of story.

I cant believe I just had to read this. You two going back and forth are probably little napoleons that have to sit behind a computer. Both of you guys are weak for going on this site to go after each other. LOSERS both of you...

Can we please get back to lacrosse?

Nope, called him a beast.....just give him the damn ball (to steal the famous line). The kind of kid who outworks and out hustles the others, plays smart and works well with his team mates. The kind you want on your team.

But his parents come with him. He excels despite us.....LOL.

Lmao!! touche.....that is funny.

Now that's over let's get back to talking about lax. Outlaws, Jesters, Igloo and ICON playing this weekend at the JDRF. And next weekend Express and United representing in Maryland.

sorry to interrupt your obsession with your son's ten year old lacrosse team. go ahead go back to taking over the forum again and debating ten year old lacrosse

YOU ARE SOME LOSER..YOU EVER GRADUATE HS?

yup graduated hs and college. you're wasting time....go back to debating about youth lax like u said u wanted to.

Have a great summer 2022ers! Good lax kicks off tomorrrow with The Jesters, The Outlaws and Igloo playing. Next week on LI TLI will be in the mix with the Outlaws and Jesters. United & Express take it on the road in MD and vs the top teams down there. Everyone sit back and enjoy the next 6-8 weeks. Root your kids on and tell them how proud you are them.

Only Express will be playing the top teams from Maryland at beach lax. Express is playing in the AA division. United is playing in the A division.

They beat our boys 9-7 and 10-2. They are a really good team and well coached. Based in schedules too bad we won't get the opportunity to play them again this season.

Lol thanks for the support. Playing the Cannons, Hawks, and Diamondbacks. About as tough as it gets. Can't wait to see how the boys compete. I wish all LI teams well when playing out of state.

Score was 10-1. And it wasnt even that close.

Why is United playing in the weaker division?

So it's called representing ..I call it paying to play in a tournament out of state nothing more then that..Get a life . No one represents long island you are representing your organization at a tournament that some teams didn't go to . I hope your kids handle the pressure of representing all of us..Lol

yeah let's get back to talking about lax cuz apparently this guy has nothing better to do than to talk about eleven year old lax it's his life. please folks give him the microphone

No pressure. Because I define representing a "hotbed" as playing hard, respecting your opponent and respecting the game. Not trying to bury every team by double digit goals. But just my opinion.

Nassau A Scores? NPT 8 - Port 3

Great Season in the A division

how'd smash 2022 and 91 heat 2021 do in jdrf yesterday. it was yesterday correct? those coach's have big pockets on those teams

ya know what I lI've about there threads?? 98% of the time it's parents or adults posting on here and debating about youth lax while their kids are either playing, practicing,doing homework, sleeping or just being a kid,....which for some of you the last one has been forgotten. as a recently retired lax coach ice watched over the years how obsessed parents have become with their kids lacrosse careers to the point where they've forgotten about just being kids. it's lax lax lax 24/7 year round. but as for the obsession and the debating youth lax.....get a grip.

Arden Diamondbacks win Lax Splash Tournament.

My son's team lost to Arden today 9-1.
The teams come together to shake hands.
The Arden coach approaches the Referee.
Pushes the Ref three times.
Had to be pulled off by his Assistants.
Parents on sidelines shocked.
You won coach.
Sad example for players of both teams.
Stay Classy.
Enjoy your Tshirt, photo and trophy.

The usual for Smash, beat up on 2021 B/C teams, lose to 2021 A teams. United could do the same if they wanted. Way too much publicity for Smash, it's United time.

stupid for smash to play up and smack B/C teams and get smoked by 2021 A teams. serves no purpose. coach is a big gindalune. like I always say.....smash deez nuts. as for United......whatever.....they're just kids at the end of the day....who cares

Who names their team smash, can't figure out what is more obnoxious the name or the parents on the team!!!

I agree on the Smash name. Lose it , your not that great. And for the deez nuts guy , stop listening to your 10 yr olds Instagram and act like an adult. It's not even that funny.

yeah smash is a corny name. unoriginal. and as for the deez nuts guy.... it is kinda funny but played out.....and as for the instagram guy....who let's their ten year old be on social media?

it crush is another boring name. and I'm not familiar with the smash parents......but I keep hearing about them........that bad?

59 percent of the country !

Smash gets beat up on here because your kids can't beat them up on the field.

59 percent of the country huh? that's why this country is soft. parents let there kids do what they want these days

yawn....smash gets beat up on here and on the field when they play up like they do always. they get beat up by 2021 A teams. stop it dude. my man what are you gonna do when theres no more smash and no more lacrosse and your kid is just asking you for the car keys? you won't be able to handle it.

Wow. Should be DQ'd.

2021 A bracket and FYI-smash beat Oulaws and Empire pretty significiantly and lost to Icon which is one of the 6 th grade TOP A teams-so no getting smacked up-its called being challenged to make you better
As far as Names of teams-they are for the kids genius-smash, crush wolves, etc
keep hating who cares what the name is just respect when a team is actually talented and wins.

should call the team [lacrosse] and just go play and beat everyone then like you've been. fyi empire and outlaws blow in 2021

How will express and united do down in MD this weekend? Express playing in AA bracket. Give them credit, they don't back down from anyone, win or lose. United looks silly for not playing in that bracket. Imho. Especially after beating express 10-1 two weeks ago. Looks like they're out for a t-shirt

Smash is a good team no doubt but I think they play up so they don't risk losing to a 2022 team and when they lose to a 2021 team they have the built in excuse of playing up. IMHO.

yeah that makes sense that's why i suggested them change their name to [lacrosse]

That's funny. I've yet to see a post from a smash parent using any excuses. If I'm mistaken please re-post.

Smash will smush Igloo this weekend in Huntington Play 6th grade to make us better and tougher

make the smash dad's gayer too

Smash parent here. Friendly with several igloo parents. Igloo got on the wait list late for any open spot in 6th or 5th grade. Got a spot in 6A division. They have a tough schedule, they have good players but they are a new team. Probably should be playing in the 5A bracket. As smash parents we don't view them as a threat but as healthy competition and a lot of the parents are friedbly and the kids friends. Good luck to all.

I have a hard time believing that really happened. The ref would have reported the incident to Aloha Tournaments who would surely have banned that team from any future events if true - and I see that they are scheduled to play Beach Lax.

Honestly, I think if it was up to them they would play in AA.

You people have no idea what your talking about. Do some research before opening your mouths. The brackets are set. Evened out . A lot of very good programs in the A bracket as well. I'm sure directors tried for AA but maybe MC holds more influence to get his top team in AA

The 91 teams are always about the t-shirt, why else would they play in the A bracket?

Express will get smoked by cannons and Diamondbacks and 2-3 other teams. Not commenting on Express but Maryland has 2-4 teams that are excellent and if they think LI lax is better than Maryland they are wrong. At this age anyway, Maryland has 3-4 teams that can play with the best on LI (ie smash). United is in the right division and express is in for a big surprise. Just talking from my experience.

No surprise. The team was already down there and played Club Blue, Madlax and the Cannons. Fully aware of how good the teams are down there.

who's smash playing this weekend? the Muppet show will be on the sideline yelling go to the cage!!! Those father's are loud mouths like an 80's wwf interview with mean gene okerlund

Smash can't win in Maryland doubt they will ever go back.

smash

deez

NUTS!!!!!

So Express is going to drive 5 hours each way to get smoked by Maryland A teams and United is going to drive 5 hours each way to smoke Maryland B teams. Sounds like fun.

is United a B team?

United will go anywhere for a t-shirt

aren't they a B team though?? because I know someone who's kid plays for them and he speaks about them as if they were ranked on the planet. please don't tell me they're a B team and he's talking about them like they can beat a varsity team.

My kid thinks Batman can beat Spiderman....Who gives a damn what an 11 year old says.

no no I wasn't saying it to be a smart [lacrosse]. I was just asking

just a question wasn't meant to be rude

I'd say united is the 2nd best 2022 team out there on long Island. And no my kid is not on team, and yes I've seen all the supposed best teams play in this age group.

Everyone knows that Spiderman can kick the beejeezus out of Batman.

Now go have a catch with your son and/or have another drink from your solo cup and my kid is the best...LOL.

I was just asking a question. how dare I insult thee holier than thou 91 family.

Funny you say United is 2nd best team in 2022. Guess you missed igloo beating them 2 out of 3 times last year. One loss was a tournament run by 91.

They are a B team that is why. 91 should place a 91B on their jersey and 91A on Smash's jersey. Stop the discussion United is a "B" team and is placed in the right division in Maryland. They will not win it either.

Smash AA
United A

When you can beat every other team on LI in your age group other than Smash you are an A team. If you think they are a B team lets just call everyone on LI a B team outside of Smash.

They are a B team that is why. 91 should place a 91B on their jersey and 91A on Smash's jersey. Stop the discussion United is a "B" team and is placed in the right division in Maryland. They will not win it either.

91 United might be 91's B team for 2022, but they are an A team. And whether or not they "win it", they will compete. I'm not affiliated with 91, but have coached against both of these teams, Igloo, Express, TLI, etc. United is right in the mix with all the other teams after Smash.

And I'll say this, the coaches and kids on both teams are great, it's the parents that put a stain on the 91 logo.

Smash AA deez nuts!!

Thank you to the person who answered my question clarifying whether united is a B team or not. That's all I wanted to know. didnt mean to start a war between the united parents and the idiot smash fathers

So it's Smash and who else at the AA level for the 2022 grade teams?

Remind me to never move to CSH...wind up with a dagger in you, your back that is. These guys Smash guys are a joke with their internal agendas...crazy.

If your put scores out might as well put them correctly... I am an express parent it was
7-5 Hawks..... We had a great weekend playing the top teams in Maryland. We had fun playing in AA bracket we went we lost we learned, the boys had a blast and watched some great lax games... That's all folks

Oh yeah and we did beat traffic coming home as somebody posted earlier we would do....;)

what's the point in driving four or five hours down to Maryland not only to lose three games but get smoked in each one of them? there's a 3,500 dollar a player confidence builder

That point would be taking a mini vacation letting 17boys have fun playing some lax and also just having fun in ocean city..... Oh sorry your child you don't let loosen up when your away, I get it. You can understand it or not.... All I can say is my boys are smiling.... They're 11 and we always remember that.

Where do u people keep pulling these numbers out of, $3500? Not true. It's refreshing to play the top MD teams to get away from the same old LI blow hard Daddies. Get a life

so is it true to say that the long island teams that drove to Maryland should've stayed home and played in the Forsberg tournament instead? because Maryland teams were far superior?

United always plays in the B bracket

sorry $2,500 I was wrong. I stand corrected. still ridiculous

coming from the mouth of a blow hard on a sideline full of blow hards. it rained in Maryland yesterday chief. relax u weren't in Bermuda

Ok sensitive. go change your pad

9-5. Right on the website

It was 7-5 - typical Aloha tournament error. Hawks up 7-2, then put subs in that didn't play as much during the earlier games.

Mr. Anonymous,

If this site were banned, what would you do all day? You would have to go somewhere else to make yourself feel superior.

I hope the express coaches played those kids that hardly get in much during close games even though they are at every practice

The reference was to the Hawks subs. The Express playing is balanced and fair, since you are so concerned. And no my son doesn't start.

Obviously it was about the Hawks. The comment about putting in subs was from a Hawk parent who demeaned the fact that Express closed the gap by saying the subs were in. Express goes above and beyond to get everyone in. It's not about the win. No matter what people may say. It's about bringing the team along, which is what is starting to happen. it's a process people. Stop bragging about 10 11 and 12 year olds. Talk to me when they are in high school and college.

Not going to happen that's what PAL is for. Sorry

PAL doesnt come close. Let me guess. You think your kid is improving because hes on a winning team. Your kid improves if he plays. Period. Who really is the idiot.

I suggest you be realistic then if your son is on the clubs "A" team and he doesn't play much your wasting your money. You are correct if he plays he gets better then but him on the "b " team he will play more. If there is no B team then change clubs. If he is on the B team and this is happening, change clubs or maybe he just isn't ready for travel. Spend your money on more training and camps and better luck in August when tryouts start again. Travel is competitive your fooling yourself if you think because your on the team that playing time is equal. Sorry buddy these are the facts.

The express team does not sub equally who are you kidding.. He plays the better kids and then will sub in more if they are ahead or behind by alot...I know I'm living it with my son but I am stuck in it now until after the season

It's a lot more equal than most. Some teams if the game is close, kids don't get in at all. You cannot say that about Express. Your son may not have been ready for this team. Don't lose faith. if your kid enjoys it and works hard, he will get better. you have to find the right fit for him. it may or may not be this team.

Welcome to the real world . Maybe your kid is a b player not an A or certainly not AA. Play in the level he belongs and go from there..If he dominates B then try to move up. Too many parents try to make their kids more then they are and the kids lose out over parents ego which tries to always win. It's a shame but I have seen it year after year

No 2022 team is better than Smash. United is not even close, but a very good B team. Yes I said it, Smash is 91 A team for 2022.

IMO United is an A team, they went down to Maryland and played last weekend and brought home the championship, which is something Smash is never able to do down there.

I say smash deez nuts

Didn't United play in the B bracket or as they call it in Maryland the A bracket vs. AA where the cannons and Diamondbacks played both of which would smoke united and the latter of which beats smash????

Smash beat the Diamondbacks last time they played. Check your facts.

Did Diamondbacks beat smash, that's what I thought...all good, maybe they each beat each other once. Point is, United played in the B division.

Really? You say next tier based on one game. One game tells you nothing. That same day Smash tied True Blue a 2021 B team and Igloo that same day beat True Blue by about 8 goals. How does that fact figure in?

why is he/she the biggest tool? for speaking the truth? smash is in a league by themselves until proven otherwise. igloo is with the rest of the next tier in LI; igloo, express, tli, united. by the way, the poster asked about teams from new [lacrosse]...i'm pretty sure there are some upstate clubs that could compete but choose not to join the LI/PA/MD tourney-circuit.

One game means nothing. True Smash beat Igloo then tied a team Igloo Crushed the same Day. That means they are on the same playing level although many would agree Smash may be a little better as of now.

Igloo 1-2.

Beat Breakers, Lost to Hawks and Palm Beach Revolution.

Lots of good competition in the 2022AA bracket.

Confirming the score and bashing the smash parents must mean you were there and are most likely a humbled express parent. Sorry it didn't work out for you today. Must be a crapy feeling spending all that money on hotels and travel to get embarrassed. I really hope next weekend is more enjoyable for you.

no not an express pareby. but......smash deez nuts!!!!

My son plays 2022 and we have seen all the teams. There is a lot of talent in this age group. But, can we end the nonsense once and for all? Smash is the top 2022 team on Long Island and it is not even close until someone somebody from Long Island beats them. Don't understand all the hate directed at 10 and 11 year old boys.

I would love to put the equipment on again and play against some of the big mouth smash fathers in a lacrosse game. See if they would be talking so much. How many of the dads ever picked up a stick in their lives. Not many!!!!. Stop living through your kids. What a joke. The ones with the biggest mouths never Even played a single game. Smash Deez Nuts!!!!!!! Got Em!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately the game didn't matter to Smash (who had already clinched the top seed).

Now they (smack) play another team with two losses for the 'ship instead of 32 based on goal differential. Too bad there will not be a LI rematch.

The Almighty Smash lost to a town team ??

Oh so Smash didn't try ? Or wait , they only play hard if the game matters? Please. They are not on same level as Extreme or Crush were. Still a great team but obviously very beatable.

Let's give the Tribal tattoo Smash deez nuts dads time to get into their air conditioned Escalades to come up with all the excuses

Is Express going home early again?..Not too many will be back next year that's for sure

Who cares If they aren't winning then where are they going to go ? U think it's the coaches fault why they don't win ? I highly doubt it.

Oh well, it looks like they tried in the championship game, while 32 was on the turnpike heading home, Smash won when it mattered. Enjoy your moral victory, but this is championship lacrosse and there can be only one champ.

Fact is in a few years at least 7 of those kids won't be on the team....Just look at the others ..it's sad but your kid might be playing with these other teams. Again no one cares about winning . it's about getting your kid better unless your a dad . please I was at my other sons tournament at lehiegh and one of the parents accused a goalie of taking a dive to get a penalty and yelled for the kid to get up saying he was faking it ..The kid is on the ground rolling in pain from a slash to his arm..Imagine yourself being that Dad..can't get much worse ..that's when you know as a parent you have taken it too far

Nice going 32 they unhorsed the mighty Smash! That is better than any medal. Sleep well Smash knowing your record on LI has ended.

What is the purpose of this site really? I rarely see anything other than bashing, bullying and bragging. kids were chanting things said on this site today. What are you teaching them? Nothing good.yelling at each other after games is a disgrace too.

Express v 32 was one of the most exciting games this weekend. Great kids and parents on both sides.

so smash didn't go undefeated. lying bastards!! smash deez nuts

one of the smash dads sons has been on more club teams over the last few years than anyone I've ever seen. because he cannot keep his mouth shut. he knows who he is. constantly yelling

It wasn't a moral victory. It was an actual victory.

Actually it was a good game between Express & 32. Hard fought on both sides. Zero trash talk on the spectator or team sidelines.

Same goes for 32-91 game. Except for the smash daddy threatening physical violence to an Express dad for having the gaul to root for Manhasset! Only NYers in PA! You can't make this stuff up.

Express beats 32, 32 beats Smash....the gap is closing.

Congrats to 91 for winning another tourney. Solid team. But today, they got beat by a town team. And both sets of boys were playing, the coaches were coaching ... to win. 32 came out on top.

Somebody else said it, not a moral win, just a win.

Well said.

Just reading all this stuff from the weekend .very entertaining.Lol . What team did the father say these things to the goalie? Was it a 2022 team . Your right it can't get much worse then that

Garden City 2022 won the fl$ tourney yesterday.

Never said GC was lame, was inferring to the "grown man" fishing for someone to mention that GC won fl$ by saying "I heard a town team won th 2022 division". That's lame....and sad

thank you

I am sure the nut job annoyed everyone.

You are welcome!

There is one loser who continually makes moronic posts. Also answers his own posts. Really stupid.
I am in contact with his mobile provider, T-Mobile.
The parents know who it is as well.
For those that don't perhaps you will soon enough depending on if it continues. He should get the appropriate credit so you all can personally thank him for dragging your thread down.
We will see who's nutz get smashed.

Hi ya, The Hop. Missed you!

He is no longer permitted to post here. If you need his ip address, let me know.

Thx Larry.
I have it along with other info. He's the village idiot giving his club a bad name. His kid must be a real charm based on his profanity laden post that will never see the board.
Maybe we should attach his name to it and post it so his club and team can see the real winner that is their spokesman.

I had to LMAO at his threats and things he said about me. It's ok.. He is through here and I agree we should attach his name to the threats and profanity and let the chips fall where they may. I am so NOT afraid of this fool. He has no clue who he is dealing with AND I have all of the posts.

Is it Manhassett 32 or 0-2?

Lost to United. Interesting.

Looked up the Smash schedule and saw they have NXT Cup and LILax Clash. Maybe they could sign up for one of those to get that rematch.

So if Manhassett went 0-2 then Smash must really be down.

32 lost to legacy too. Then legacy lost to jesters.

Yes, the Smash looked way off their game 2 wins with a total score of 23 - 4... They must not have liked the sloppy track. Or maybe the rain got in the goalie's eyes.

Lmao

wow, makes Smash loss to 32 seem even worse based on 32's play on Saturday...They really do have some chinks in their armour if they lost to that "struggling" town team.

Are there chinks inside their helmets? Maybe imposter kids played for Smash vs 32?

B/c Diamondbacks beat them a while back and in this age group there are a lot of teams in Maryland that can beat smash any given day,

once again Express sidelines are an embarrassment.

Young Guns was a great tournament for 2022. Great kids, good competition, and good sportsmanship among parents and coaches. Maryland and Long Island get along just fine. Set the tone, and the kids follow suit.

Cannons had 2-3 illegal (older kids on the team) during the tournament and they got caught and should have been thrown out. Bottom line even with those kids they didn't advance to the semis and Igloo, Diamondbacks etc beat them. Only thing worse then them cheating is their parents. Us Maryland parents are ashamed of their behavior. We apologize on their behalf to all of you lacrosse and especially any teams that travelled to come play lacrosse in Maryland. Congrats to the Hawks on their victory.

What do you mean anymore on? They got caught and now they have lost 5 games in their last two tournaments after not losing a game all year prior to that. Think that says enough.

As a fellow MD parent, I second that. The Cannons' parents are an absolute disgrace.

Are you kidding me, illegal players? No older kids on the team, same squad as all season, they added two 2023 to help out on depth and injuries, in fact no reclassified kids either. Is there some proof on this allegation?

I agree. Only time it got real ugly was when Madlax "Nationals" were knocked out by Igloo and the Madlax kids started throwing punches and swinging their sticks. Igloo parents held it together well when they had every right to be irate.

A lot of teams had a few kids that were not with the team in spring or earlier this summer. When you combine 4th of July vacations with the fact that Young Guns is probably the premier tournament of the summer, you will have a lot of roster wholes to fill and a lot of kids from teams that were not invited to fill them.

What that they lost to 2 teams this summer that they did not play in the spring? Great proof, keep grasping, do you want the rosters with DOB? I'm sure I can get them

Madlax kids were not throwing punches. An igloo kid went down at midfield and a Madlax kid ran at him and cross checked him in the neck/head while he was on the ground. This happened as game ended. Refs and coaches ran on the field to aid player on the ground and prevent any further nonsense.

So is this better or worse than throwing punches? It's not clear to me.

Saw that looked like the Ref ejected the kid.

Neither. One kid made a dirty play. There were not multiple kids swinging sticks or throwing punches.

Can I ask a question? This was my sons first year, and I would have thought that as the kids move year to year, the coaches would follow that year as they move up. But what I just heard means that is not the case? Is this normal? I'd much rather keep the same coaches as we have been extremely happy with them. Thanks

I think igloo played up. Not sure which legacy team that was 2022 or 2021

Igloo 2022 beat legacy 2021 9-1 in championship. Schedule has it wrong.

Igloo did win 9-1.

I thought united was the B team and smash was the A team. Looks like there might be a chsnge in the rankings for 2022. First 32 now united? The rest of the pack is closing in quickly. I guess they'll start playing up again.

United played great, very solid team. Just validates the fact that the gap is closing in 2022. 32 & United wins over Smash no flukes.

Smash still a top team in the country for 2022, but this was United's weekend. Congrats to both teams for making the finals.

With United beating Smash, I guess that United is the "A" team and Smash is now the "B" team!LMAO

To all the express players who left for Smash this year....you are on the B team!

Best team in country if you
Don't include Maryland teams. There are 3 or 4 teams that can beat smash.

Smash still a top team in the country for 2022, but this was United's weekend. Congrats to both teams for making the finals.

Gap is closing on the almighty SNASH. They are a very good team. When they play in U-13 next year they will have many more losing tourneys.

Best teams in the country are in Maryland not LI.

You heard wrong about Igloo. They did not even make it to the championship game in every division.

I don't know.. I witnessed a game of theirs on Saturday and they were kicking butt.. All of their teams were.. Don't know what age groups I saw BUT looks to me like the coaching staff is doing something right..

2021 is very strong AA Team. 2022 is solid A team.

That's it! Rest are B

Stay away from all of them!

It was great to see 91 and Express players fist pumping each other this week. The boys played together on same teams and got along great. It was a great camp. All the bashing has to stop.

I'm new here. . . Looking for thoughts on which travel teams would provide good training to a 2022 kid without much lax experience. Looking for good coaching and training. Appreciate any insight.

What are the best summer travel teams in Westchester County NY and Fairfield County CT for 2022 kids?

We would love to join a Long Island year round team but it is 1 1/2 hour trip each way. Any thoughts on the best training & recruiting avenues in Westchester and Fairfield areas would be really appreciated. Thanks.

The camps are listed under Clnics/Camps in the content island on the right.

Don't worry you can't go to this one. It says the top 80 kids but its not its the best 80 they can get out of their 6 programs. If your club rivals one of the NLF your kids won't get invited. Youth lacrosse. not about the kids its about their kids. Its all about $$ will be some clubs down fall.

Can someone tell me which Team Long Island 2022 team is stronger, the blue or white?

Thanks

Team Long Island does not have 2022 Teams, the have U11 teams!

Did GC really lose to outlaws at Hofstra? I thought GC was a top town team, how could they lose to a B- club team. GC folks were talking like they could run with 91 and express and they lose to a team that can't play within 10 goals of either team. Bet the GC parents were very unhappy.

They lost 10-7 but I think they beat them in the final..

My son is looking to tryout for a new team this year, can anyone share their experiences good or bad with the Legacy, Coaching?? Organization commitment to player development?

Which team won the championship this past weekend at Hofstra?

Run with express? Express was not very good this year. Gc beat them. Did they win any championships? Talk about unhappy parents.

Not unhappy at all, just the opposite. Half the price, in our own backyard and playing with their friends, how could you be unhappy with that. The boys are already looking forward to next year. They didn't want the season to end.

not defend Outlaws but they played 2 games and only had a few subs. I think with fresh legs outcome would have been different!

I don't... They both played three games the day before and two games that day. Both teams were spent.

Outlaws had 3 kids on bench. GC had 12.

Did the lunatic Outlaws coach scare off the rest of the team? Tourney was local...Screaming at officials when losing shows what kind of guy he is and you as parents put up with this why???

Second that saw that coach screaming at refs , real class act ! If that is a reflection of their organization. Stay far away ... Glad my son doesn't put up w a lunAtic like that guy ...

And you hide behind anonymous posts and bad mouth people. If you have something to say, put your name to it ! I love listening to you wannabe tough guys bad mouth coaches, parents and players hiding behind your keyboard. The Outlaw coach you are speaking about is a very good coach. Its your choice if you want your kid playing for him or not, but to say he is a lunatic is taking it a bit too far.

Hate to burst your bubble but that is exactly the way the GC coaches were acting the day before when they lost. Screaming at the kids and the refs. I would never let an adult talk to a child the way he was to those kids after they lost. At least the outlaw coach was yelling at another adult(thats not right either). By the way the refs all weekend were just awful. We can all agree on that.

So if smash is the best In the 2022 class. Who did they beat this year? What tournaments did they win? Did they beat any teams outside of LI?

Obviously a troublemaker .. OUTLAWS lost to Express in a Braveheart in the Fall... they should have actually won in regulation as they outplayed Express.. just ask MC.

And lost last two times to the Jesters !

Given how other teams have improved, I would venture to say that there are 3-4 Maryland teams that can beat smash at any given time and next year express, United and others will give them a run for money on LI. Not bashing smash, just a lot of talent in this age group. Smash had the advantage by having been together the longest.

Outlaws Black team is actually a B team. Not a top notch team.

Only played jesters twice. Outlaws won 8-2 and lost 7-5. So your wrong there. Keep thinking what you do. X5788m

What age? My son was 2021 and had a great time on & off the field. with Legacy. He got better & had fun so I'm happy. A few too many tournaments truthfully. It's exhausting!

whatever happened to the team forums? I preferred when all of the lunatics could boast about how great your organizations are there as to having all of you on one thread?

Does anyone have info regarding the bluefish. I was told they are bringing in coaches from some of the top teams. Don't know how true this is. Looking to see if anyone knows more than what is posted on their website.

i know that he was part of a band called "Hootie and the ..." oh, wait....

Instead of speculating, why not contact them and ask? The information that you get here may be the farthest from the truth. Check out their website.

Outlaws have played the Jesters twice, beat them once and lost once...

how many additional umbrella teams is 91 going to come out with????

That is a false statement! They are as good as any other A team. I think they would hang with any Long Island A team with maybe the exception of Smash or United!!

That is a false statement! They are as good as any other A team. I think they would hang with any Long Island A team with maybe the exception of Smash or United!!

I think that is a reasonably fair statement to make after seeing them play this past weekend.

Didn't igloo blow them out in a tournament? Outlaws Is a B team, perhaps a better B team but can't play with 91, igloo, express, 32, CSH, Northport, port and several other elite town teams. I would say that in order to be considered a true A team you need to be able to beat all town teams at a minimum. Just my 2 cents.

Northport Really, Outlaws would crush them Sounds Like Ex Outlaws that Play express - HA HA Got U
Outlaws solid b Plus, But will be improving like all outlaw Teams do

Didn't Outlaws Black lose to a town team? GC34?

Since Smash lost to Manhasset, that means they are a B team too?
Outlaws are an A team but not at the top tier.

United, Smash and Igloo are the top teams
Manhasset-32 , Express are Middle Tier
Team LI, Outlaws, Garden City-34 and Jesters are the lower Tier...

Team 91 Fact:
Smash is the "A"
United is the "B"
they got lucky once will not happen again. Cannot wait for Sunday.

So did express

So let me get this straight Smash is the "A" team and United is the "B" team. Then you say Smash is the best team on Long Island. But you
disregard the fact that said "A" team lost to said "B" team. I don't ever remember an "A" team getting beat by their own "B" Team. As an outsider looking in, I have never thought of United as a "B" team. To me they were always a top 3 team in the age group. The win vs Smash tells me that they are the team to beat now at 2022. Fact is United is the best coached team in the age group. Does not matter if you like JM or not he is the best coach in the age group. Its not even close.

Smash lost twice on grade this year...Crush and the Bandits they are note

They lost to igloo 11-6. Hardly a blowout.

Give it a rest the game was two weeks ago. in ten years the kids on both teams won't even remember the score.

That is NOT fact. If United is a B team then there are NO "A" teams on Long island. They can obviously beat any team on the Island so to call them a B team is STUPID

igloo went up 11-1 and sat all their starters. Same thing outlaws would do if they were playing a totally inferior team.

Wrong.....it was 5-4 at the half. Get your facts straight. How'd your team do this year NP daddy? Not good. But keep bashing your former team. Move on.

Funny, Outlaws make it to the finals and lose to a town team but are somehow now an A team that can compete with Igloo, 32, Primetime, CSH, Port, Express etc. By that logic all teams are A teams.

I will agree they are all A teams including OUTLAWS Jacka$$!!!

Unfortunately not all teams can be A teams. If it makes you sleep better you can call outlaws an A team and both 91 teams, express, igloo, 32, port, GC, prime time, 20 teams in Maryland/PA/CT/NJ etc. are all AA. But good for you, your son made an A team.

Listen we understand that Northport Daddy has a issue with the Outlaws.
But you don't even give facts. You list a bunch of teams and say Outlaws can not play with them. What is your criteria for playing with them. If the game is close for a half, you can play with a team. What that usually means is you do not have the depth to run for a full game. Outlaws played Express to a Braveheart a Championship game in the fall and lost to Primetime in the Tri Lax Clash by a goal. Unlike you Mr Northport Daddy, I don't judge my son or his team by wins and losses. He is playing against the top teams around, getting quality minutes and learning what it takes to succeed in the real world. All you are teaching your son is to run from team to team. You complained about Outlaws and now we all hear you are complaining about Express. I am sure that where ever you end up next season you will be unhappy as well. At some point you need to look into the mirror and realize that the common denominator in the unhappiness is you!!!!

Something in the Northport water?

2022 outlaws are a B team, sorry I know they are 11 but their parents aren't and this is directed at them. They are a competitive B team but have NEVER won against an A team, forget how close you got or only if, or it was a close first half, or it ended in a brave heart. You never beat an A team, you won no tournaments, you have lost to multiple town teams. You would not be ranked in the top 10 LI teams when considering club and town. I don't know them all but two 91 teams, express, igloo, team LI, 32, GC, CSH.

Man, after that you must be really passed that your kid is not playing for the outlaws. You sound like a man after they are divorced but is still in love with his ex wife. Haha.

Any positive feedback on coaches 2022 and 2023 teams ..

yes. my son is a first year A player on 2022 Express. He got his lumps handed to him at times but got better. the got better was what we were looking for so I give an A to the coaches. they played all the kids which is not for everyone but if you want your kid to thrive they need to be on a team like that no matter how much the parents complain about kids they don't want playing. The best clubs play everyone and attract all players. Let's face it things change after 10 and 11 years old. Kids level off, kids get worse (usually for burn out) and kids get better. you have to find the best fit. I do give a positive review for the 2022 coaches at Express. My kid got better! I wish more posts on here would be positive. there are too many negative posts. thanks for boldly asking. can't wait to see the posts to follow. I hope more positive people chime in if they are listening.

GC34 beat Express as well as the other lower tier teams. Why aren't they also considered middle tier for 2022?

I don't know why anyone is even entertaining the united/smash/igloo dads analysis. it is what it is gentleman. stop grandstanding. it's getting old. after tryouts who knows what will be left standing on any team. good luck to all the boys in their upcoming tryouts.

I wish my Dad were as happy with my team as I am. I like the kids and we do ok. He wants me to be on a better team though. he thinks I should be onm Man-up too.

32 seems to be imploding across all classes

So if 32 beat smash....
and Legacy beat 32.....
and Jesters beat Legacy....

What does that do to your tier system?

I am just asking because that all happened in one week!! You know what it means? That they are 11 and you never know what will happen and everyone should relax about what team you are on and find a good coach and nice bunch of kids and have fun!

Classic. All this chest beating about A teams and rankings are crap the dads care about. They want to feel like big shots or brag to their buddies or at the office and wear their silly team hats and [lacrosse]. The kids just want to play some ball with kids they like and have fun.

Express will have major turnover . Kids were out there that didn't belong on team. They even had kids playing for them who didn't make it at the tryouts which made it even more crazy. The quality was bad at times

Not imploding, but at most ages they're "allowing" the kids to play for outside travel teams. Don't worry, they'll still field a town team that will dominate for town tourneys.

It will be interesting to see where the 32 players end up. I would expect to see changes this year. Smash still should be considered the top team but there air of invincibility is gone by losing to 32 and United. Do they look at poach some top talent from other teams to reclaim their dominant position?

A good group is playing in Lax4BackPax this weekend. Farmingdale, Team LI, CSH, West Islip and a few others. A nice way to end the season and for a great cause.

Who is Pink team

Got to be a mistake. its a girls team from NC

Only person who cares is the person who likes to stir the pot. Wrong place to do it

Really, what a waste of a weekend! TLI playing against town teams just a joke!

Team Pink is a team made up mostly of Igloo BOYS!!

TLI should be careful writing off the "town teams". Never know who's hiding under those helmets! And how embarrassing if you lose!!!!

There are NO Championship games. So Who Cares who is playing? Show up in Farmingdale on Sunday and see the amount of school supplies that everyone donates. Truck loads! Go Dalers

And what about team Long Island? I haven't seen them in so long I don't even remember what color their uniform is. They've been hiding out pretending to be a great team talking smack we'll see what happens Sunday

Whalers beat TLI last week

Whalers beat the u11-red team which is their B team

So why is Team LI-White -the A-TEAM-- playing in a charity tournament?
Where were you all summer?

who cares who's playing its a charity event ,for a great cause and gives the kids 1 more day of playing lacrosse with friends

Team LI playing to win 3 games

Everyone else playing to lose? Dummy
