BOTC is opening our Fall 2015 through Summer 2016 thread covering the Boys 2022-6th Grade age group.
Here we go!!
I'm surprised how light this thread has been especially with tryouts upcoming.. Can anyone share feedback positive or negative about their club. My son is looking to make a switch this year and we're looking for a team with good coaching.. Any thoughts on Express, Igloo, Legacy, Team LI and Jedters would be greatly appreciated.

We would like to add outlaws to that mix- also looking for a change...
Think all the clubs you mentioned have very good coaches. There is no one place that is right for everyone. As long as your son is improving, having fun and getting playing time anyone of the clubs you mentioned is fine. You will find that as the players get older it will be tougher and tougher for kids to make a new teams. Good luck and remember wins and losses don't matter at this age!

Team LI is a very good team with a small roster. They played most of this past year with 15 kids and are looking to add a couple of quality kids. I know they don't like to have a huge roster but running with 15 was tough at times. They started tryouts today but are having I believe 5 more tryout dates, one being tomorrow at 1 pm. All tryouts are at Mt Sinai high school.

a lot of people are quiet because there is a lot of movement going on. last year people said teams were already picked. it wasn't true. very good coaching there. I saw a huge difference in my son's performance and endurance.

They Also play in very weak tournaments so if you are looking for your son to play against top competition look elsewhere
Say what you want but the truth is they are a very good team that gets better every year. I'm very confident they could play with any team in the country at this age group. Great group of well coached boys.
Good team that ducks real competion. Let's get real.... They don't play or will ever play in top tournaments... Good luck TLI Parent .. The rest of the team should run

They basically avoid mylacrosstournments. That can be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing depending on what side of tne fence your are on.

what team do you belong to. I noticed you didn't promote it. Either you are afraid of some good competition at the try outs or you are just another delusional parent thinking being on that winning team makes your kid better. What makes your kid better is practice and conditioning. The hot shots getting one or two goals in a game after a ton of missed shots and win games because they are on a strong team dont progress. Seen it over and over.

They avoid those tourneys because their teams play U based- right? My kids never played for them, but don't they try to play in tourneys that align with their team structure? Not that I like their model- but at least they play fairly and don't play kids down like other states do. Unfortunately, that means they don't play a lot of LI teams often.
I saw them play last weekend. They looked real good to me. From what I understand a lot of the better teams in this age group did not play each other this season. It's a shame. There's a ton of talent at 2022.
How do you figure TLI plays fairly with the system they use. All the other clubs use the graduating year system. With their system in place and nobody else uses it it this is the result. Their U10 team plays against 2023 teams and their U11 team plays against
2022 teams, if you look at the birthday cut off most of the TLI
Kids are almost a year older so most of their kids are actually playing down.
That's where you are wrong, Team LI plays age based which is US Lacrosse rules. In almost all cases the players on Team LI are younger than grade based teams. Most of your real good grade based teams include players that started school a year late and or were held back. A u-13 player must be 12 years old as of august 31st. The same player on a grade based team who started school early and or was held back can be and in most cases are 13 and 14 years old. a year or two older. My Lacrosse tournaments, who are owned by 91 are set up for 91 teams who are loaded with older age players and since they now are buying up and starting new clubs under different names, and when chamberlains brother assigns the referees at all my lacrosse tournaments, you can count on never getting a call. That is why most of the Long Island based teams do not play in any of My Lacrosse tournaments.

LMAO. I am sure they wouldn't mind scrimmaging your son's U-12 or 6th grade team- win, lose or draw. I am sure both teams would have fun! What team does your son play for? Tell your son to have fun and don't worry about his old man trying to relive his youth.
Stay away from TLI, the coaches run the first line kids until they're exhausted. They never play in quality tournaments and that's not the coaches fault, blame the director who is a miserable, unapproachable guy. There are so many quality teams out there , TLI isn't one of them.

No complaints with Express. There are a couple parents who weren't happy that all the kids played equal time. at this age that's the way it should be. sticking with it. my kid loved it. all that really counts. the grass is not always greener. good luck to all.

Funny the only team I don't see there is Team LI, we played My Lacrosse Tournaments all summer, Outlaws, Express, true Blue, Recon and a few more were there. Just not you guys.
I am sure all the 2022 teams have positive and negatives. Maybe some more than others. They all do the same thing whether its 91 giving their kids advantages in tournaments by handpicking their schedule, TLI playing none of the other travel organizations, etc. Its like pro wrestling with the drama and we are the puppets on a string writing about 11 year old kids. It should just be about KIDS getting better and enjoying the experience.
Anyone have any thoughts about how the 2022 Bluefish. Seems lot a like a lot of former Express coaches involved. What's the likelihood they will be a true A team at this grade?
Who are the coaches?

NYIT - Fall

Ability to go .500 in A brackets of tournaments is a good gauge
That and being able to run effective practices because all kids are proficient in skills of the game and are committed. I have observed that on B teams coaches need to spend more time working on basics and attendance at practices is frequently less than optimal to be effective.
I am sure this note is coming from a parent of kid who will not be on the team. At this level coaches play to win. When MC shows up, they play to win. When parents stand in, equal time.
From a parent whose kid won't make the team this year. At this level , you play to win. When MC is there, they play to win. When parents stand in, equal time.

What tournaments?

There are some times 3 tournaments in an area on the same weekend and only 1 is usually legit.

What are the "real" tournaments that occur during the summer? If they don't have the best of NY, PA, and MD, they are likely just a way for some clubs to get some pics of their teams inTs and medals for their websites.

MC does not play to win. Even playing time at this age.
Which is really what it should be.
Spoke from a parents whose kids won't make the team this year.
What???
2022 Express? What was the final headcount? How many players did MC have this season?
Yes they are much better off Playing for an organization, where you have to play against a team from your own organization in the championship and either be "co champs" or be placed in a position where the A team for your organization plays against the B team for the same organization!

We had 20.
Last I heard it was at 23 and climbing

COMPLETELY FALSE!
2022 tryouts for Express start this week, good luck to all ! Hopefully the coaches take the most deserving players.
2022 express should be the team to beat this year with the best 32 kids coming over and several better igloo kids and united kids trying out. I believe express and smash separate themselves as AA teams, igloo remains A with united, team LI etc. if your son can make express, that is a good spot.
Express takes 32 players on a roster?

This post is great. May I ask how you obtained this valuable in side information? I don't know what kids are coming back to my sons team and you know that the better igloo and united kids are trying out for Express? You just can't make this stuff up. Some of you people are insane.
WOW--how do I get my kid involved we just moved to LI from Idaho
Express is losing quite a few players this year. Top players. They were barely an A team last year. Not a chance they jump to AA with smash. Smash is on the decline. United is no longer. TLI will be worse. Igloo will be good. Stop drinking MC's coolaid.
United split up?

Thanks for sorting through the tea leaves for us. Why don't we just let the kids figure it out?

This must be a kid posting this crap about all the teams because no normal parent would do this!

LOL - you must be new to 2022!!!
I think most of these parents are out of their minds! No college is even starting to look until 9th grade, and for that your kid has to be a stand out player. Even if they called me tomorrow and wanted my son on the best team. I don't want to stand on the the side lines biting my nails hoping my son plays good and doesn't lose playing time. Do you really think the colleges are going to ask how many championships they won in elementary school.
ha you are biggest tool on here both talking about 2022 and college...take a look back you are the only one. There may be some crazy parents concerned about what travel team their kid will play on but you are the only jerk actually thinking, in your mind, that others are thinking about 6th grade lacrosse and college. Get a life...I know you tried to come off as all cool that everyone else is crazy...but even hinting that college and 11 year old lacrosse is on your mind is nuts...wow, loser
You must have been dropped on your head as a child because you have completely missed the point. The point was not to take the sport to seriously at such a young age, sorry I can't spell it out with big colored blocks, DA.

You go 500 in the A bracket and they will kill you on here and say B team at best! According to the people on here , there are maybe two A teams per age group!!
So true, but the "loudest" people on here are out of their minds so consider the source.

Heads up regarding the parents they just acquired.
You parents should be ashamed of yourself. I know the parents and kids and they are all great people. I really don't understand why the personal attacks on these people who are trying to do what they think is best for their kids. The fact remains if your kid was good enough to get the invite as well you would have sprinted too. No need for the harsh words and resentment.You are supposed to be the adult, grow up and wish them well.

Get the invite? I thought all tryouts are open to everyone. No invitation required
Igloo flyer says they are doing two teams at the 2022 level

you have no idea who gets invites where.
I actually know them very well, so well that they were at my house two weeks ago! You are just not a very nice person, who is very bitter! My suggestion to you is to try to act like an adult.



you obviously don't know them well enough. [/quote]
any idea who is coaching second igloo team ?
I believe it's one of the assistant's from the original team.

lets not get into who is nice and acting like an adult. Many of us witnessed their behavior on the sidelines. I'm sure they were perfectly fine at your get together. It was no example for children.
agreed

Who cares where "they rank"?! None of these arbitrary rankings by anonymous people mean anything. And for that matter, the team to beat is the one your sons team happens to be playing against.

Any team can be beaten, that's why they play the games.

Any one have any thoughts about True Blue..I Was at Igloo tryouts today and was told Trueblue 2022 had about 12 practices this past summer once a week for about an hour. . Sounds light to me. Any truth to that? Practice is probably the most important thing at this age group

they had 2 teams at this age group. had 4 or 5 practices in the fall and did 2 fall tournament. Had a winter training session every Sunday(jan-march) that was extra for anyone who wanted to attend. 5 spring/summer tournaments and yes they practiced once a week for 90 minutes or so. there were a couple weeks that there were 2 practices. the fee was $1350. one fall tournament and the winter training was extra. I believe it was a total of less than $250 for the extra fall tournament and the winter training.

both coaches were non parent( I believe one is an Adelphi coach)and we liked the coach of our team and my son had a very good experience and will be going back to try out. I heard good things about the coach of the other team as well. I am sure others may of had different opinions of their experience.

not sure if they are doing 2 teams or not this year but call and ask. for what they charge it is a great deal for what you get. if you have any questions I would just reach out to them.

There were 2 teams in this age group, I can only speak for my sons team which was coached by KY. Yes they only practiced once per week but practice lasted between an hour and half - 2 hours there were a lot more than 12 practices not sure how many but more. They did some fall practices and a tournament, winter practices and winter tournament. Then spring they practiced from March till the end of July which was there last tournament
My son also played with KY and there were very few practices. We practiced twice in the fall about five times in the winter that we payed additional for. About 8 or 9 times in the summer starting in May a week before tournaments started. The practices were once a week and not very good for an1hr.The fall & winter tournaments were additional set up by a parent. Communication was poor and most practices were sent out the night before. You'll get a whole speach about how there cheaper and they have college coaching ,etc.. It all sounds great but you'll get very few practices and and whole lot of lip service .your not going to get more than 10-12 practices..the majority of parents and kids weren't happy..any time you had a question or concern they acted like they were doing you a favor.

Make sure you ask questions at try outs..how many practices, when will they be,who will be coaching etc..also ask the parents of the kids of KY's team what they honestly thought before you except any invites..

I agree that there was a communication problem with practices schedules being sent out the night before. That was due to the fat that the coach also coaches at adelphi and his team was in the DII tournament. Most parents expressed the displeasure with it and it was fixed. All of the practices except for one lasted at least an hour and a half if not more. The kids also had more that 8-9 practices in the summer and they did start before May. May was the time of the communication problem and they were practices before that.

Yes you are correct some parents were unhappy witht the program but there are many who were happy. The problem I think came from the parents. Most parents expected the team to be an A team. They were not, but the director exlained this in the fall. He spelled out excatly what the team would be. They were not going to compete with A teams most of kids were on a club team for the first time. But some thought their kids were better than they were. I heard all the complaints on the side line, did not agree with most. the other problem was a few Dads thought they were better coaches than the coach. KY held a parent meeting at one of the tournaments and pretty much told the parents to SHUT UP!! STOP coaching & yelling from the side lines. I know two parents were asked not to come back!!
Any way they were some who were happy and some who were not. Differnet levels of teams through out Long Island. everyone needs to find a team that they feel comfortable with. Not all of our kids are going to be super stars. This team and coach worked well fOR my son he learned a lot, improved, increased his Lacrosse IQ and hade FUN!!
"the other problem was a few Dads thought they were better coaches than the coach".

A couple of the dads on my son's team were like this. Nice guys, but I felt like telling them to shut up. I can only imagine what it's like to be a kid out there listening to the coach on one side and the wannabe coaches on the other
You can tell what posts are from directors of TB on here and what are from actual parents..I urge you to make sure you ask parents of KY's team (kids with grey TB helmets) at the try out or at other tryouts what they thought.. MyHonest opinion my kid got a lot of playing time but very little coaching..Agin ask a lot t of questions and don't get suckered by JC's sales speach
Good luck
Who has completed the tryouts or are near complete at this grade? I know Express is done.

I guess there were a lot of parents who thought this team could be a good fit. Over 50 kids at the tryout today. Evaluators did a really good job working with and instructing the kids on the field. Looked like their could be a really solid team if the top kids decide to stay. Some good play from the middies and some big defenders. My kid really liked it. Hopefully they can get the better kids to stay.

Announced that coach Bentz will be the A team coach. I head nothing but really good things about him from the parents who played on his team last year.
Emails say Lynott assisting Channy for Team Channy and Channy assisting Lynott for Team Lynott.

For good teams,If he is good, yes! Marginal, nope. But if tryouts were thinly attended and talent isn't top notch, you can take a chance.
Igloo is having another tryout for the second team this week. Contact the director if you are interested. This should be a strong team.

Strong if you want to play B ..no A kid wants to play second fiddle to igloo A ..Nice. Try
If your kid isn't on smash, igloo A or express then he is on a B team. If you think b/c outlaws etc. has one team, that they are an A team you are mistaken.
FYI there are a handful of kids on all 3 of those that aren't "a" players , just cause your on 1 of "A" teams doesn't make u a "A" player. Parents know who they are !!

That's right. I know plenty of kids on Igloo who are B players in PAL, but they have been paying team fees and are grandfathered in.

Oh stop. Doesn't work that way. They aren't going to hurt the team and carry a B player. These teams are highly competitive.

WAIT, WHAT?!?!? I am shocked and appalled! I thought every kid on the Super, Select, Elite [INSERT CLUB NAME HERE] was a D1 quality player--at 11 years old. Ha, ha, ha.

Do you think any A players will pay 3000 dollars to play on a B team?
They are paying that at the other clubs already. Most tuitions don't include the winter and spring training. Or all the extra tournaments and scrimmages added through the year.

Who is paying 3k for a B team? Even with winter. Can be good team , but will get treated like a B team when they get older. Get invites to better tournaments and showcases.
One of those three "stars" will bounce from team to team. Other players have caught up and passed him up but the ego keeps growing.
smash pick up a few new players and will continue to dominate. United pick up a few head cases from Express may break their chemistry probably weaker overall. Express gained players from 32 should have a strong team.
thinking about entering the fall twilight league in Oyster Bay. Has anyone played in it and what was your experience?

How much better can they have gotten. No new studs at the tryouts. Unless they are getting kids from out of state or a holdback

Unfortunately all the BS is taking away from my original post regarding the Fall Twilight League. Anyone have anything meaningful to say about their experience in Fall Twilight?
I found it to be a gut wrenching mile a minute joy ride. Now get back to the insurance game.
I was really impressed with the bluefish tryouts, they were well run and Coach Tierneyso talk afterwards was great!IL very confused at the fact they want me to pick a team without knowing HOW exactly will be coaching my boy! They want us to just have blind faith in them?

Chances are if you were a b kid who has been cut from A teams at tryouts in the past or you have played A and been cut from your former organization you had a good chance to make the a team

Smash took 6 new kids. Twins from Maryland moved to LI and reclassed. The 4 other kids have to be older as well. Were probably held back at some point. Look more like 8th graders than 6th.

Which organization has 40+ team practices for 1500-2000? A, B or F team, just let me know
Hit men. 48. 1100!
2 teams - Select which is the A Black team and A Black which is the old B Silver. So no change there in coaching and the B parents and kids get to say A Team.

Bentz is coaching one team and at the end of the tryout they announced Purdie will be coaching the second team
Players have left TB as Bentz's roster is 25 with his Massapequa gave.
True Blue having 2 teams. Coach Cat specifically said at tryouts there would be A and B. Parents on B claiming they too. Are an A team. TB lost some good players with KY not coaching.

Where do you get your information from. My son is playing for him. I spoke with him last Monday and again on Friday to follow up on a few questions. There is not 25 players. The crap people put on here is ridiculous. Yes there are a few massapequa kids on the team but not all that tried out made his team It's actually a pretty good mix of kids. Granted they are not going to be able to compete with the top clubs but they will be a good team and he will develop them, the kids skill level will increase and they will have fun. Should be a good year.

What are you talking about. What good players left the ones who left will make zero difference. There was a ton of kids at the tryout and there will be 2 teams. Bentz has the A team and Purdue the B. The A team will be considerably more competitive than last year as ally of good kids accepted. Stop talking nonsense. This has to be one of the parents who left or that was asked not to come back.

Oh my god did you honestly just say HE is acting like a child? YOU are scouting 2022 teams and know the moves everyone has made this off season. Who does that?!
OH ENOUGH TB MARGINAL, save your money , play your town and get training on the side . For instance Keenan's clinics that lots of reps on stick work . Also do lots of wall ball over winter.
Maybe you should speak to those parents on the TB B team. That would be me. Was specifically told at tryouts 2 teams an A and B. Phone call came and was told two A teams and the roster would be 24-25. Why don't you call Joe Cat? KB is a much better coach.

I am sorry did not realize your son is committed already and you are all knowing of what is happening on every team. keep living though your 11 year old. I am sure it does wonders for him and you.. get a life.

could not hack d1? sb coach is an a hole. really have put your balls in your back pocket to play for this maniac. I think Bentz is better off at Adelphi. Get your facts straight.
Many players at SB have left because of coach. That's a fact over last few years. Good for him playing at Adelphi. Purdue great guy

couldn't hack D1. what are you talking about bentz who is the coach was a 4 year member at Hofstra, and captain of the team in his senior year.(you may be referring to his brother) you have no idea what the [lacrosse] you are talking about. Shows how stupid people on this forum are. and by the way I would put Adelphi up against stonybrook any day. what they [lacrosse] have they won in the last 10 years.

So what happened with Checkmate and LI sharks?
Purdue coaching the True Blue B regardless of what the parents call themselves.
Frank is giving up raising chickens?
Some clarification please. The second 2022 Igloo team is a B team that will be playing in an A division correct? Parents who kids made the second team are claiming these two Igloo teams are justlike Smash and United, both A teams. How could this be?

I believe they looked at the second tier of kids who did not make the top team and felt they could get enough kids out of that group to commit and to pay $3,000 and form another team. They also picked up a handful of kids from last year jesters team as the jesters could not field a team. Not saying they will not be competitive but would not compare them to smash/united. I think there are some parents talking and trying to justify the large expense. Not saying they will not be a good team but how anyone could say they will be another top tier team without stepping on the field is ridiculous. Do the math on the tuition and 23 kids and you get a pretty good answer on why they have a second team.

Jesters could have fielded team if unscrupulous parents weren't campaigning and stealing players at the actual tryouts. There was plenty of talent there, but a few parents caused panic and left the other kids without a team. Very malicious and selfish behavior.
I'm not sure it's fair to call these parents unscrupulous. Some kids were leaving no matter what or regardless of who came to tryouts.

Jesters 2022 team folded? That is hard to believe. They were a good team last year. Very unfortunate.

The ones who left properly know who they are. People do what's best for their kids and all families understood that. The Parents that came up to people at tryouts , that they hadn't said a word to all last season and "warned" them about everyone leaving and telling to come to tryouts? I think unscrupulous is a nice word to describe this behavior. I could think of a lot worse. Never thought or cared about the other kids they were effecting.

I will post under complaints because my response crosses over many ages
You guys are idiots. Igloo has an A team that has never beat smash and never lost to united Sonia arguably the #2 team on LI or close too it...let's just say they are very good. They had enough interest and enough talent to field a B team. No shame, they will compete with and may be better than outlaws, express B, legacy, true blue etc. no they won't beat smash or united but who cares. If they get the usual 50+ igloo practices on dedicated fields, great coaches and trainers, great swag etc. then what is the beef? It costs $3000? That's the beef? Instead of $2,600?
Last years jesters team was not even close to an A not surprised they folded , bottom line is igloo took the best 22 kids that tried out and put them on the A team , and a second team was formed with kids that's were left over. Call it want u want. I'm sure that second team will be copetitve but not on a A team level. Smash will still be on top but express ,United and igloo A will be closing the gap. The rest of the teams all on the same level B at best .Gonna be a great season Good luck.

Pecking order will change this year except for Smash. Some teams got better, some got worse and some stayed more or less the same.

That's still less than the $3500 that fl$ charges for their B+ team.

Thanks for the insightful comments about 11 year old lacrosse. And what "A" team does you son play for that makes you such an expert ?
Bottom line is Igloo formed a 2nd team because they lost a 2019 team it folded which is embarrassing in itself..needed to make up money and told them to recruit 2022 kids and people fell for it and are on a b team. It's called being a sucker

And a 2018 team is gone as well! Luckily 2022 parents willing to pay 3k for the gear and sweatshirts! This team will be a B team as advertised !

listen angry man, No need to call people an idiot when you sound like one. No one is putting the team down just questioning why the parents on the team are running around saying they are going to be the next smash/united. Your team started this chatter. tell your parents to pipe down and see what happens on the field. No one questions that it will be a competitive team. your parents need to stop pounding there chests and just let the kids play.

Don't tell me that some of these parents think the second team they formed is an A team. Can someone explain why they lost those two teams . maybe the ones who were doing the recruiting would know. Nice job guys suckering these parents in. No morals at all. Next time please write the check for them or at least give them a little discount off the top or is that your piece
Igloo never had a 2019 team. tried to form one this year, but didnt come to fruition.so it never folded. 2022 2nd team came about because the demand was there. probably 90+ tried out. guarantee the 2022-2nd team crushes TB, fl$, ICON, Legacy, Bluefish..they will be good.
2021 Avalanche was damn good last year. Haters

Igloo is trying to do what 91 did when they formed Stampede teams. They are trying to be glorified B team and milk it for a few years and win some B tournaments but when they play in the A brackets in a few years they will get their a__ handed to them just like the Older Stampede team did. Some games were embarrassing for them when the tournaments weren't fixed to give them a few wins in A tournaments...You will see
And why can't there just be a good B team in a good organization. Believe it or not, sometimes that's just fine for the sane parents. The boys aren't taking their tournament championship tshirts to college with them.
Agreed...and in addition someone please put to rest the A team B team debate for me. This Igloo team is "technically" the B team within the organization..no problem with that. It just seems to me that "B team" is used on here as a derogatory term, not just to describe the pecking order in an organization. So leaving all the expertly trained eyes out of it for a second...if this team ends up beating everyone other than Smash, United and Igloo...are they an A level (lacrosse talent) team?

That's fine but people were calling them an A team which obviously they are not. Big difference between the two. Like night and day

Keep smoking and pass it on. Then please only play in A tournaments that aren't rigged and see where you stand. It could get very ugly quickly for the kids. Be careful what you wish for and make sure all the kids can catch and throw

agreed ,gonna be very ugly shouldn't guarantee anything you can lose that whole team if you cant deliver welcome to travel lax
The "ugly" stems from the parents.... Not the players

So they will "crush" a bunch of B teams and a team that hasn't even formed yet. The Outlaws, Legacey and Jesters crushed all those teams last year too. Big deal. You are really going out on a limb ! All that before first practice and check cleared! Good luck!

Shows how little you know.. I hope you actually did some research before plopping down 3 grand. Igloo had a 2019 and a 2018 team last year. they cancelled the 2018 team right before tryouts and than cancelled the 2019 team when only 20 kids showed up. So yes that would count as the team folded. there last year not this year.
This thread is for 2022. Please take your conversations about other age groups to the appropriate thread. Thanks, Silent Majority
Whew..that was a good one!..add Express onto the list that they cant beat...fair?..on paper this team will be an improved Jesters team.That team by years end had beaten fl$,Outlaws and Legacy..so who else beats them? If it turns out they end up being 5th best in 2022..are they not an A team?..or are they the very best B team? Are top 4 of each age group only A teams?..just a question
Holy sh*t !! Who cares who's team is better. Is your kid getting better ? If so , by 8th grade try and get him on a top team that gets exposure. You parents sound ridiculous.
My post is not to necessarily point out who is better...it's to shut up the people who love to come on here and label teams A & B. When facts come to play their responses seem to disappear.
Some people on here keep acting like certain club teams will be the end all be all for your kids future in college. You need to stop. It's more than just being on prime club lacrosse teams. If people know of your kid, they're going to follow him and watch him. It also stems from from high school coaches and people that you know that are out in the world that can get people to come look at your kid so stop pushing your club saying that that's the only way your kid is ever going to get noticed. Stop using it as a selling point

So please don't enter them into one B tournament. Watch and see what happens when you play all A teams. Please tell your directors to stay the course and not subject your kids to any B teams all year. That would be the right thing to do wouldn't you agree?????

No. It's not 4 or 5 or 6 from LI. Other teams besides LI. FCA, west coast stars , 3D, Lb3, Laxachusetes, CT Chargers, sweet lax, crabs etc. If you can be competitive with those clubs, you are an A team. Don't have to beat them all, just be competitive.
What clubs offer the best exposure in recruiting years. Serious question here. How can playing for igloo help with exposure? I know express probably has the most connections but after that what are the top clubs to play for? Not about winning and losing. Who gets on top exposure tournaments. Please help with some advice. Not stupid comments.
So who are the A teams in your eyes?..just curious as to how many there are?

Listed in Post above. LI , I would add Outlaws,Legacey and Jesters (last year) based on last years performances.

Basing anything on last year is foolish. All of these teams have changed their rosters, kids develop, etc.

Let the boys play, then we'll find out who's who & what's what...

I really don't know either. No apology necessary. Try posting it again and if there is something wrong, I will tell you. Sometimes the posts don't make it for many reasons.
Thank you ..my point was that I thought this new Igloo team would end up being a better version of last year's Jesters team. An above post said that they were nowhere near an A team yet at years end they beat FCA 2x and beat LB3. They also lost to Mid Atlantic by a goal.So with the above logic they were an A team...and I think this new Igloo team on paper could be as good or better than that team. I know people dilike organizations but it's terrible to disparage kids just because you don't like the organization.

Why do that have to play in only A tournaments? If the directors and coaches feel they are better placed in a B tournament, why is that bad? You people are so focused on labeling teams and tournaments as "A" or "B" that you lose sight of what youth lacrosse is about. Having fun and getting better.
Went so far as to concede to the top 4 teams,so obviously you arent involved with one of those teams.Hmmm..I guess it just proves what I thought all along. You are just a sour guy that likes to spew venom on here..no facts or reasoning just a big computer blowhard.You can only get so far with the very witty lines like "keep smokin' and "Keep drinking the Kool Aid"It doesn't take long to figure a guy like you out. Don't worry though,I'll see to it I put your suggestion in the directors suggestion box.

Lose sight ? Sight is way lost. It's not about getting better and having fun. That was lost on these people a long time ago. For 3k they want to win games and have lots of nice apparel ! Wake up!
You have to play in A tournaments if you expect people to pay that kind of money to play on a second team. There are many options , for half that money , to have a fun B experience.

That is a very good question.

It has to be said why are you thinking recruiting at 6th grade, I know the better teams in the recruiting years are those that had time for the core to gel together. Although having gone through this, I think at 6th grade you play with the best team you can get yourself ample field time on. If you have the time and $$ you go to every teams clinic each team has to offer and see what is the best fit. If you are good they will find you.

Just remember the grass isn't always greener but it doesn't hurt to put your child out there, if you land on a good team be friendly with all teams but don't foreget who may have burned you. because unfortunately it doesn't matter how good or bad you are, someone will put you down or exclude you, lots of daddy ball out there and lots of people who wont share their info. because it is all about their son. That's okay it should be about your own, but you don't need them. this summer you will realize who they are.

The past few years the better kids from many teams got together to play on weekend their main team was off. that is good and helps the region get stronger. It also helps when playing certain regional or local games. Keep your ear out to where certain people work out or get reps. At this age it is all about reps and being who you are
You mean it's not best to hop from one program to another every year. lol.. I know people who's kids have been on at least 5 different teams and they are only in 6th grade.Comical I know
i don't have that big of a problem with kids moving around from team to team when they are young. A lot of factors come in to play. i see it on here all the time "so long as your kid is having fun and getting better" well what if they aren't? …reason for change 1..now he moves to a different team and really has a good year with a certain coach. Next year that coach moves to a different organization (happens a lot now) ..reason for change 2. Following year its apparent that your son/ daughter really likes the game but the team they are on is either over his/her head at this time in their life or the team is less serious about the game and plays less than your son/daughter would like…time for change 3. I'm sure there is a lot of "grass is greener" folks out there but sometimes its not the only reason. And if it is the reason, then so be it, throw it in as reason to change number 4. The fact is you have to be your childs advocate and put them in the best place you think is available to them. You may not always be right but its better than sitting back and doing nothing especially if you feel in your gut that a change would be best.
Well said..

If your son is on a good competitive team, with good families and is getting better and having fun, don't go anywhere. Kids who have been on 5, 6 or 7 teams before HS, it is usually about the parents , not the kids. Then when they get older, you will see very good kids unable to find a quality team for their sons. The better clubs will already know all about them and stay away. It happens all the time. Being an advocate for your kid and being an a obstacle for your kid is a very thin line. How you behave while doing it will determine your kids future. Have seen a lot of people do it the wrong way this year!
Everyone else is trying to figure things out. Smash has another practice today. Look out here we come!
TLI upgraded some of their positions so look out for them!!!!

it was just a lot of explaining. yes, there are many reasons. to each his own. some of the grass is greener people have a habit of wreaking havoc and it's not because they are looking for what's best for their child. they are doing what is best for them.

I would agree it does get annoying when it is repeatsd 40 times as it was in the past. But you got to admit it is funny! And quite fitting if you ever watched the parents on the sidelines during a tournament.
Teams should list their Fall tournament schedules. Then there are no excuses for not playing each other.

I think Smash, United, Igloo, Express, Outlaws, TLI and Legacy all pretty much competed against each other at one tourney or another last year.

they didn't split up. they will still play as 32 in town format tourneys, and with their respective clubs in club format tourneys.
So have fl$ and Express improved then?

I applaud them for making it work!
Please hold your applause until the end of the show!
It's only September!
So from what I hear Outlaws took a step back on their A team? I appears that its not always a good day to be an Outlaw!9DpU2Z
And you heard that from who? 9DpU2Z- Its not that difficult to post- by the way outlaws got stronger
How did they step back? They retained just about all of their players and upgraded a couple of positions.
Outlaws will surprise people.
This is an up and coming team. Love when people think they know. How exactly did they take a step back?
Agreed, with jesters not fielding a team outlaws should be the right in there behind, both 91 teams, both igloo teams, express A, TLI, 32, GC, Port, Legacy, northport, fl$, bandits etc. so definitely top 20

Don't forget that Igloo might also be behind Roslyn, west Hempstead, and Plainview
True so outlaws is a top 19 team

Outlaws MIGHT be in the top 25, but not top 19. Too much of a push for top 19.
Team LI doesn't compete against any team from LI, they always travel out of state to play no name teams!

Enough with promoting the igloo second team . It's made up of a few kids from Jesters A that really was a B team . 1 or 2 kids from express A that lets be honest really couldn't cut it there which is not their fault just they are what they are and its ok because I'm sure they will get better over time. let the kids play where they belong and stop labeling them higher then what they are and they may suprise you someday
So you disparage the entire Jesters team,the kids from Express that "couldn't cut it"but everyone else should stop labeling kids...tool

Did smash get stronger?
How about igloo? I know united picked up a few of express's top players. Does that make them the team to beT? TLI does anybody really know? They lost their goalie who kept them in every game. Jesters gone. Outlaws will be competitive. Did express make up for their list players. Empire,icon and the rest...maybe next year.

You should learn how to spell and or type before you are allowed to post. a basic IQ test is probably needed. Your post would get a failing grade in kindergarten. Hope you teach your son more than lacrosse. On second thought based on your post spend your money on a tutor instead of club lacrosse

Come on, now - just like any other multi-region, multi-team per age group club, FCA has good teams and OK teams. They have a decent program, but I wouldn't dream of saying they have "one of the best programs in the country at all age levels".

You might not dream of it , but they are one of strongest programs in country. Every age isn't elite , but certainly A level.

You're 100% wrong - they field at least 2 teams at every age, an A and a B. All of the well known clubs - Igloo, 91, Blackwolf, VLC, Crabs, Madlax, Express, etc., all have an A level team at every age group. "One of the strongest programs" is simply "like all the rest". The difference is, some of those clubs only field one team at each grade, and it is an A team, instead of several teams. It doesn't make FCA anything special.

Every club you mentioned has an A team and are good programs. Point is ......FCA was an A team. What's your point ? Are you disputing that? I saw them play in two tournaments. They were decent A team. Not AA. Not best in country. But solid A team.

I know you have been asked several times and have not responded , but I will ask again. What team does your kid play for?
all this started from Jesters being an A team. I thought it was already disclosed they are no longer in existence. what is all the fuss about. it's obvious the teams have been altered from last year which may or may not happen again next year. let's just watch our boys play and hope the competition is well distributed. that's the best we can hope for so all of our kids thrive.

yes my kid is but I'm not the original poster. Just getting bored of parents always trying to rate the teams and pump their chests over pre teen performance. The boys dont act this childish. The parents should start setting better examples.

PM me
The 2022 Igloo team, qualified for the [lacrosse]'s Sporting Goods National Youth Lacrosse Championships in Wesley Chapel, FL this December. There are 21 kids on the team and the goal is to raise enough money for uniforms and Fall tournament fees for the kids. These kids come from all over Long Island and have been working together for over two years with their eyes on this National prize. They finally qualified by winning the last summer tournament of the season and are trying to get to Florida and win the title. Please help this group of young men represent their communities at the National Championships

Are you kidding me? Represent their communities?
Looking for donations??? seriously????

They pay $3500 per kid and cant afford to pay for extra tournament??
All the money AA takes for "tryouts" and he can't afford to subsidize his team for a tournament. #shameless

Any ideas what's going on with the two teams at Express? Sounds like one team has 25 kids and the other only 15. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...
No way an Igloo parent posted this. Nice try.

All I know is they had to change the A team up ..half the kids don't belong and so they were let go or were asked to play on the B team. Problem is parents still think their kids are A players and have too much pride and ego to stay there . Kids probably would but parents keep jumping from one team to the next just to call their kid an A kid . Sad

That is sad. But what's gong to be even sadder is a great group of kids end up getting screwed because they were told they made Express and now there's barely enough to field a team succcessfully.

Ummm, all I know is both teams have had two solid practices and there was plenty of talent on both sides of the field. No changes on either roster. Overlook Express, that works for the boys.

What practice were you watching? Because I saw 15 or maybe 16 kids (with no goalie) on one side of the field while the other 25 or more were getting a lot of attention from the senior coaches.

you can't read it? likely your son was cut ... move on now.
The A team definitely did NOT have 25 kids practicing, 22 kids on the team FACT!! Are we now scouting 6th grade practices to have something to talk about on here?? GTFOH!
My son moved from another team and was fortunate enough to make the Express A, it was our first practice and it was great!
As for the other team having 15 kids, remember fool, its the fall, kids play multiple sports and arent available to make every practice.

What are you so angry about? And thanks for sharing that your son made the "A" team. That must make you feel better. There was no criticism of any players--quite the opposite--but we are all very happy for you.

Since no rosters have been distributed, I am not sure where you got your facts from on the numbers of players per team. And since I have "scouted" both practices, it's been the same attendance level both times.

By the way, it's "dual" sports, not "duel". Fool.

Sounding like another parent of kid who was cut from express A after the way they played last year.maybe your son should go to their practices and see if coach will take him. It happened last year when they were looking for the money to fill out the roster

Problem is parents still think their kids are A players and have too much pride and ego to stay there . Kids probably would but parents keep jumping from one team to the next just to call their kid an A kid . Sad


That is sad. But what's gong to be even sadder is a great group of kids end up getting screwed because they were told they made Express and now there's barely enough to field a team succcessfully.


If you are talking about the B team yes. parents didn't want to be on B. that is their choice. it does look like the team will be much better than last year. the roster may look light but things shift as the season goes. happens every year in every club. don't be too discouraged. I do think parents are foolish to automatically discard B teams. the kids who actually made this team would have made it a very strong team. the problem, like you said, is the parents wouldn't settle for B so they moved on or wiggled their way back on A. It's very common. But watch and see who winds up back.

Appreciate the comment. Hoping for the best.
This is really funny! All the smack you express people talked last fall and this past spring and summer and is the kind of turnover you got, priceless.

the smack talkers are now at 91. and they won't be happy there either. especially if their kid is in Catholic school. big mistake.

Had to do what they did to get only A players on the team instead of just filling out the roster
You sir / ma'am need to turnover and leave Team MC. You're player can stay. Go spew your rhetoric somewhere else. You are an embarrassment to this team. You speak for yourself, not on behalf of the team.

the embarrassment was them. Lets get some integrity back on these fields. And you have no say what my player does so don't pretend you do.
Unfortunately, my family and son will have to endure this upcoming season with you, again. You are toxic, and integrity is not a quality that you possess.

Agree. Great kids and with great families. I was very sad they left. That team last year had kids and families that really enjoyed each others company. Something to be said for that.
Big mistake? We have players on Team MC that go to Catholic school. What is the problem?

Nothing like airing your dirty laundry from 5/6th grade lax. Gues that is the Catholic school way
I will second that, we lost a handful of good families and kids from last year. I don't understand all this bashing. We should be looking forward to this upcoming season and having fun watching the boys play. Guaranteed, all the boys past and present on Express will get along just fine on the field unlike the few remaining disgruntled parents.

Let's take a step back. Enough about the Catholic school thing. I think the thread on Express started about the B team (which, interestingly, Express management refused to acknowledge). The true gripe at this stage about Express is that there is a complete lack of transparency. It's astounding honestly. Talk about being duped. It's very disappointing financially and discouraging for my son who left a decent club for "Express" training. Wishing them well but really rethinking our decision.
Should be disappointed that you left your club for Express. It sounds like a disaster over there. I heard the coach isn't there half the time and parents don't know how to act. From an outside source reading all of this crap.

It's amazing how much BS is thrown out there. The coaches have been at all practices, the kids are getting great training, and the teams are off to solid starts for 2015/2016.

Complaints are warranted, as we are all paying customers. But, to throw out innuendo and speculation is a waste of time.

Let the boys play, then we can comment on whether or not it was all worthwhile.
That's a lot of BS right there. My son did not make Team 1/Team MC this year because he is not one of the chosen ones. We have moved on. Why accept the B team when my son is just as good as other B players who did make the A team or players who did not have to show themselves at tryouts.
There are too many privileged parents on this team. Glad we didn't accept the invite.

Yeah, that goes both ways I guess. Your son didn't make it because he couldn't compete with the players that were ultimately selected for the A team. No shame in that. He's only in 6th grade. But don't be so bitter, just move on.

You are not missing out. Both Express teams are B when compared to Smash, Igloo & TLI.
Smash, Igloo and TLI?
Why is TLI included as a top team when they haven't even played anyone. Didn't Express beat them last fall in a scrimmage?
Should substitute United into the spot.
I believe Express beat up Igloo pretty good too.

Very mature. Btw didn't United beat Smash in the Finals over the summer ? And trust me , Express will rebound this year.
Who cares who beat who last year. All teams I am sure added good kids. They are getting older and it should be fun to watch.

HAHAHAHA! Pound Chest, DB. Did you do the New Zealand All Blacks Haka after you pressed submit?
Express and 32 kids combined will be the team to beat this year, played up last tournament and played 91 Ambush very tough.

What hallucinatory drugs are you taking
Let's not get so defensive. Who has Igloo actually beat last year ? Not including that winter indoor office space in Deer park.
You mustn't have been on the almighty Igloo team last year that got beat up by Express. No drugs, just a game that Igloo lost.
You mean that sceimmage? What tournament did express beat igloo in? Thats what I thought . None. Btw, igloo beat express 2x last year in scrimmages.

Both sides of this argument are meaningless. The outcomes of games & scrimmages last year will have no impact on future games. New rosters = new teams, and all teams rosters have changed. Smash's roster likely changed the least, which could indicate they are still the team to beat in 2022. But the boys still have to play the games to find out.

I've been hearing that same song since second grade, its getting old. Would be nice if it finaly came true.....but it wont
TLI couldn't beat any of those teams mentioned earlier. That dad is delusional. Besides TLI always goes out of the way to play out of state so they wouldn't play any of those teams!

Last time TLI played Igloo they smoked them.
Anyway... who is playing on Columbus Day from this group? Express will be there.
That was 2 years ago!!!!
Igloo didn't play in any of the tournaments Express played in last year. Igloo was too busy playing in the lame tournaments trying to win a t-shirt and staying away from Smash, United, Express, and 32.

why don't smash igloo and tli just play each other and not have to worry about bashing everyone else. if memory serves each one of these teams lost to other teams other than themselves. 32 beat smash, express beat 32. that's what makes the world go round. you can claim you are the best but it doesn't mean you are and it never lasts forever. enjoy what you have while you have it and stop bragging about it. its petty.
Great email. Finally some common sense ...

The great thing about this grade is there is no team that is just unbeatable.

If you want your team to play Igloo 2022 call the coach he would be glad to set up a scrimmage/game

Bitter guy. Kid was on the team, now he's not. Move along....
Good call! Very bitter. Can only mean one thing because otherwise why troll on here?
How is anyone who was on the team , now not on team? Anyone on A team last year would have gotten a spot on B team this year.

They split Team Channy into 2 teams for the tourney!
So what would happen if 1 of those teams made the championship? Would they combine both teams for that game?

who cares? it's fall ball. kids are getting a run. not about the t-shirt. unless, of course, you are worried about that?
Don't care about shirt at all. But I do care that a tournament is fair. Who splits their one team into two? Then they will mix and match as they see fit. You don't see something odd with that?

11 year old kids getting a fall ball run in. Again, who gives a rats @ss what team "wins"? Your complaint of the field not being fair rings hollow. I'd argue it's an advantage for the teams they play against. Extra runs, more fatigue. There shouldn't even be championship games for fall events. They are meaningless anyway.

I wouldn't say they are meaningless. They mean something to the parents because it shows them they picked a team that can win, that is the desired outcome at sports last I checked. It means something to the kids because they can post it all over Instagram and be proud of their accomplishments. It also means something to the losing teams, it shows them what areas they need to work on. It's an opportunity to learn from mistakes. Just my opinion

11 year old kids getting a fall ball run in. Again, who gives a rats @ss what team "wins"? Your complaint of the field not being fair rings hollow. I'd argue it's an advantage for the teams they play against. Extra runs, more fatigue. There shouldn't even be championship games for fall events. They are meaningless anyway.


I wouldn't say they are meaningless. They mean something to the parents because it shows them they picked a team that can win, that is the desired outcome at sports last I checked. It means something to the kids because they can post it all over Instagram and be proud of their accomplishments. It also means something to the losing teams, it shows them what areas they need to work on. It's an opportunity to learn from mistakes. Just my opinion




really? Post all over instagram. There is something odd about a parent advocating for that. Its like what parents do on here. Brag.


So you're telling me that you don't celebrate wins? Share the good news with friends and family? Why wouldn't you, and what exactly is wrong with that?
Here's the thing about fall tournaments, some teams are brand new and have good players who never played together and other teams have been playing together for 4 years. For the former it's about seeing what you got and for the latter it's about winning. Yes, it always feels good to win but the true measure of which team is best occurs in the spring/summer
Express would be the first people on here bragging about how great they are if they win this. Give me a break. They're on here all year talking about how they're the team to beat anyway.

I said nothing of the sort. Celebrating with family and friends and posting for the world on social media is completely different. And truth be told it makes a lot of kids feel bad.

Maybe you are little behind the times, but that is how people, essentially kids communicate these days. Like it or not
And about the kids feeling bad, they need to develop a thick skin if they want to last in this sport. We've been on both sides plenty of times. Builds character.
The world, as an adult I use my "private" social media accounts to spread all kinds of things with family and friends near and far! The world is not watching you!

yes, it is how kids communicate and no I don't like it. parents need to wake up and see what your kids are being exposed to and they don't even have to leave the house. it builds character to lose, yes. posting to the world that you won shows lack of character. winning speaks for itself. it is the way of the world now though. you can see by all the bickering that goes on here how detrimental social media can be. but by all means post away. we wouldn't want to be behind the times.
So a team with 12 players playing a team with 22 is at an advantage, who cares if they can mix and match, its 12 kids playing full squads! They are not robots, they'll be beat tired!
You obviously know nothing about how MC works. He will have plenty of kids there playing. 12! You'll see. I'm sure that's what he told you to sell you on it.

there is no such thing as "private". wake up. if you trust it as being private you are being very naïve. and just how many friends do you have in your contact list? and they have two friends and they have two friends and on and on and on. the first thing they tell you when you are trying to protect your identity is nothing is private on social media. nothing. and kids most of all know how to hack it. the world is absolutely watching you if they so desire.

not all of us. just a select few. which we try desperately to silence to no avail. let's just cheer on our kids tomorrow. and it is only Fall ball. it's just really keeping a stick in their hands. most are knee deep in football and starting basketball. good luck to all.

Let's get back to lacrosse please.

They are too busy on social media begging for money to send their team to Florida. No shame...
2022 is playing in the 2021 bracket
Which Express team is the A and B teams?
Great 1st Fall Tournament for Express today going 4-0 !

Which team? There were over 30 Express teams in Islip today.

My thoughts exactly. Why can't we let the boys play the games, and if they win, say nothing. When they lose, be humble and compliment the victors.
Let's keep it classy...

Really, we are bragging about winning ONE fall tournament, let's just play the game and stop with the grandstanding! They won a tournament we all know wasn't the strongest, as an Express dad I am happy to see the win! No need for the boasting, it does nothing!
Nothing it will do it anything or anyone cares, let's just have and enjoy the day, for Godsakes they're 11 and it's October!

The "really what" guy/gal is the epitome of what's wrong with youth sports. These people need to be censured.
It was a good day for express. The one team looks better than last year's team. Don't understand what all the anger is about for them being happy with the win. They beat a good outlaw team in the finals. That team is going to surprise people. It was,a great day on the water.
How did Outlaws look ?

Considering they played NOBODY yesterday until the final and again this year can't beat the Express A team! I think they need to stop calling themselves an AA team !
did the 2022 express/32 play in 2021 bracket ? not sure who is the express A team that won the 2022 bracket

AA is something igloo touts. Their A I'm mean B team pulled out of the tournament. At least Outlaws showed up. They are an A team for sure. Where do the A teams stop. You cant just have 3 A teams. Some may be the bottom tier but they are still A or AA. what's the difference. Just play.

Let's quantify "it's a good day for express"! They went 10 and 31(and several of those wins were against other express teams) for the day as an organization. That's good day if you make money by how many teams you put in tournaments ? Looks like maybe two teams had good days by results. Glad you kid was one of them.



[quote=Anonymous]did the 2022 express/32 play in 2021 bracket ? not sure who is the express A team that won the 2022 bracket [/quote

fyi express didn't rename the team express/32. I know you have to keep making the distinction. Not sure why. We weren't called express/outlaws last year. The team acquired some nice talent from 32 just like we acquired some nice talent from outlaws last year. Should united be called united/express? To answer question it was express channy, which was broken into two teams after igloo dropped out.
the question was did the 2022 express channy team play in the 2021 bracket or 2022 bracket? with so many express teams named express channy makes it a little confusing

They are a good team. They definitely had some weaknesses though. The goalie is really good, Defense and middies are just OK and a good attack. They will NEVER be able to beat a team like United but they are a solid B team

Losing 6-3 in finals to Express top team isn't too bad. I'm sure it was a good game.
I agree, Express was very confusing yesterday. Forget the Channy 1,2,3 nonsense. Just go back to naming Teams B, C and D. Those were basically the level of the teams on the field yesterday.
Ok, if u say so

That score is incorrect, think it was at least 7, maybe 8 to 3
6-3 is correct. Not 7 and certainly not 8. Be happy with your win. No need to haggle about the score.

Yesterday was a cluster___k. Agree with above comment that it was all very confusing with Express--at all levels. The B team had a few excellent players but the majority were not and there was no goalie for their team. The A team was split into two and they still had plenty of subs on both teams--rumor is they have close to 30 kids on the roster. What are they going to do when they can't split the team into A and A Light?
Will say that express team is better than last year. Middies much bigger and better. They'll give smash and united a run. With that you people are putting a lot of stock into the fall

Its OK daddy just admit your sons team is just OK. No one will make fun of you. Last year you played all out of state tournaments instead of facing real competition here on Long Island or going to Maryland! I hope that makes you parents and your kids feel good about yourselves.LOL

Got to say you parents are nuts. All of those kids got along just fine yesterday on and off the field. Think about what you are doing here....bragging about how your 11 year olds team is way better than another 11 year Olds team. Express is better than outlaws, 91 is better than express, wah wah wah. Let the kids enjoy the games. Believe me about 2 hours later they all could care less if they won or lost. And for those that say they do care, it's only because you as the parent drive that point home. Soon the games will be for real. Not at 11.

You people are missing the purpose of this website! To rip each other and team apart! Stop making so much sense.
And to also stir the pot, type ridiculous things as if someone else is saying it, and my favorite is when these psycho paths answer themselves 2 threads later, crazy...
If the express A team is that good, then in the spring we should expect to see them play up with smash and United, or will they start out a promising team like last year and slowly self destruct?
United rarely plays up. Smash shouldn't play up. And no express is not that good.

The games are always for real, that's why they keep score.
And there's that parent. Knew sooner or later it would.

Smash and Express play this Saturday.
I love this board. Always get a chuckle.. most posts are from Daddy's that are focused on getting an 1/8 of a Lax Scholarship in 6 years from now for their son. So many people are misguided in thinking that their son will get a full ride - just does not happen in Lax. These kids are 11 years old - let them have fun and learn the game and stop ripping them.
igloo should be in this mix on Saturday

express may or may not beat smash and or united. Remains to be seen. Doesnt matter. What matters is working like a team and we have that. Good competitive games are what we all strive for. We will certainly have that too. Get off your high horse and look at the big picture.
Anyone seriously paying attention to a fall game is out of control. All of these teams have new pieces and some players that aren't there because of other sports.

Worry about who is better than who in the spring. All of the LI A teams are better than most in the country so stop beating each other up over who is A, AA or B.
Why Shouldn't a team play up? If they feel that they will get more competitive games playing up why not?
Here is why...most teams that play up do so to actually avoid the potential embarrassment of losing to their own age group and so they play up into the B bracket which has weaker competition then the A bracket in their own age group. With very very few exceptions like Crush there is no team that can't find competition in their own age group. I can assure you that smash (arguably the best 2022 team) can find great competition in United, 32/express, igloo etc. or they can go down to Maryland and find 3-4 teams that can compete with them.
Can Bandits beat smash and united?

7th and under if you are not playing up in an "A" bracket you are not playing better competition. Many, actually most B teams will lose to A team the year younger in that grade range.

In the old days the B teams were mixed grade teams- with the age stated and the year below. Now b teams are mainly developmental ( yes I know all teams are developmenatl) but B these days doesn't mean what it used to.
OK. I'm pretty sure smash played all of the teams you mentioned and other than United none of the games were competitive. And before you call me a chest pounding Smash Daddy, I'm Not. I think playing up is good on occasion. As for hiding, since they play every team in the age bracket every single year I think you have them confused with TLI

Anyway. Best of luck this year

Worry about who is better than who in the spring. All of the LI A teams are better than most in the country so stop beating each other up over who is A, AA or B.


I agree with most of this, except the part about "worrying about who's better than who".

Fall ball, a light run to figure things out. Spring/Summertime & it's on! But let's not worry who wins what. LI teams are best in the country. Let's be positive and show respect to the boys who play at such a high level and keep us entertained. Their youth will be gone in a flash.
32 beat smash last summer. I'd say that was a competitive game.

Okay, 32 joining forces with Express, gotta give Express a slight edge this upcoming weekend over Smash.

Your boys were down the entire game and scored a late goal to make it close, that was the highlight of the summer for 2022 lacrosse. Your smash deez nutz losing to a town team that does equal playing time! What a joke, could you ever imagine that happening to Crush or any other 91 team? And you also lost to your B team, what a joke!

express may or may not beat smash and or united. Remains to be seen. Doesnt matter. What matters is working like a team and we have that. Good competitive games are what we all strive for. We will certainly have that too. Get off your high horse and look at the big picture.


I think the Express parents need to get the coach and tell him to stop playing up. Last year they played up and got killed nearly every game. Its demoralizing to the kids and is not helping them at all. DELETED

you were obviously not on the team. We played up once or twice at best. Get over MC. You are obviously gone. You should be happier by now.

Smash by 10 or more!
Final Score was 6-3 ; game was called with five minutes left due to darkness . Outlaws had a 2 man advantage at the time.

we know what score was posted but it was more like 8-3.
game started to get a little out of hand. It was obvious the players were trying to take out express faceoff player. It didn't work. Let it go.

The joke will be on you.
That is a disrespectful and inappropriate comment about a person/coach/director. BOTC should remove this unacceptable post.

Can we at least try to be accurate. Not that it makes a difference. It's just annoying when it's not the accurate. They rarely played up, twice in fact. And once was because they were asked to be a last second filler. And to review the scores... the boys lost to the Outlaws by 3 or 4 goals, lost to the Saints by 1, beat the Jesters by 10+, beat Stampede 8+, beat Empire 10+ and lost twice to Ambush by 2 goals. Now I my be off by a goal or two, but at least I am trying to be accurate.

I have no idea what you are referring to.
I was just stating the score it was 6-3. It isn't that hard to add it up when watching. That is such a weird thing about LI lax - you would think that the simplest thing like the score is easy to agree on but it isn't. Happens all the time . Very strange.
Admin: I was referring to the 137678 - Today at 09:53 AM post, which should be removed.

A gift?! Smash got all puckered up and lost a game, 6-4, that they tried with every ounce of effort to win. And they looked more like the Grinch than Santa afterwards.

Keep telling yourself it was a gift. It's a nice psychological hedge.

We just want to shut everyone up with fall tourney. We know it's early but still Smash wins all games by 10. 2022 not as strong as everyone thinks.

So much for the great smash. Lost to express in the finals. 2022 is a toss up. There are NO dominant teams.

With all the [lacrosse] stirrers on this site I doubt very much that a smash parent posted that.
So happy Express beat Smash. By the way, I am not an Express or 91 parent. So sick of hearing about how Smash is VKSH2W#1. Well, not today. Congratulations Express.

So much for these crazy Smash parents comparing themselves to 91 Crush. Talent level on the 2 teams not even remotely close
32 beat Smash yesterday not Express.[/quote]

Your comment might be the most bitter statement directed at a coach/director that I have read on these threads.

I have news for you, the new team is being challenged and developed quite nicely by the coaching staff. And by the way, they are in 6th grade and will continue their development for years to come.

Channy and Lynott are top notch. Make no mistake, they won't hold hands with the whining/sniveling parents and players. But, they will push the boys to be their best.
Only they can develop kids in 30 days .. What talent these coaches have . Shame is that they couldn't do anything with the old group. They let them rot

I have news for you, the new team is being challenged and developed quite nicely by the coaching staff. And by the way, they are in 6th grade and will continue their development for years to come.

Channy and Lynott are top notch. Make no mistake, they won't hold hands with the whining/sniveling parents and players. But, they will push the boys to be their best.


Or add kids all year to team and [lacrosse] off those paying whining/sniveling parents and players.[/quote]

Or have your son stick with PAL, which but the sound of things, is where he belongs.
At practice this week 91 coaches should teach the boys how to shake hands with their opponents and encourage them not to cry like babies, after they lose.

Maybe a tutor instead of coach will be what your little star will need.

by that statement I guess if United wins it will largely be due to Express. go figure.

TLI lost their starting goalie to empire. They lost their top midfielder to united. They are a shell of what they were a few years ago. Please stop with the TLI nonsense. Doubt there in the top 5 on LI now.

So Smash can't win in Maryland. Now they can't win on the Island where will they go and play to be dominate. Smash Dez Nuts

"Team Long Island", the team that rarely, if ever plays on Long Island, would get trounced by Smash, Igloo, United, Express, and probably a few town teams.

So much for these crazy Smash parents comparing themselves to 91 Crush. Talent level on the 2 teams not even remotely close


No Smash parent ever compared the team to Crush. As a matter of fact I doubt any one of the Smash parents wants to practice as much as Crush. Funny how all the attention is given to the Smash loss and the fact that they won the first meeting by 12 goals is ignored. Congrats to Express they played better than Smash for 40 minutes. It's a long season so I wouldn't write off Smash so soon. Something tells me they are not quitting after this past weekend.

Nobody said they were quitting. But everybody has observed the awful behavior of the Smash parents for years now. So, now that the talent is leveling out you come on here with a sort of maybe mea culpa. Save it. And teach your kids better sportsmanship. We all know that's going to be a stretch given the parents behavior on the sidelines.

You said it, it's going to be a long season.

I'd love to hear of a specific example of poor sportsmanship and bad behavior. You are either making things up or are so caught up in the nonsense of some of these posts that you believe it to be true. Have you ever heard of a specific incident involving a smash parent?? Was there a physical altercation? Were the police called? Security rushed to the sidelines? Seriously, what was so awful??? A parent ejected by an official maybe? A child ejected? They win and lose with class. You should try it

yes, no one showed any poor behavior parent or player on Saturday. both sides. this person must not have even been there.
Work on shaking hands and not crying, in defeat. The Smash players did it after 32 beat them (and parents were in denial, saying that the win was a gift), they did it after United beat them and then they repeated the behavior after Express beat them.

not sure why any smash player or parent would be crying. there should be no assumption of winning at this pt. they aren't crush, bandits or wolfpack.

that's just dumb
Not writing Smash off at all--they are a great team. Hopefully the parents will tone down their drivel and arrogance on the sideline and these forums now though. They are just one of a few very good LI teams. Deez nuts...

okay. we get it. that didn't happen Saturday. they took the first game by 11 goals and acted perfectly fine and the same when Express won by 3.
If you want to callout a few parents for their crazy behavior on smash with getting excited yelling whatever go ahead -you can pretty much say there are always a few on EVERY TEAM!
However, these 11 year old boys train hard, compete and ALWAYS exit the field shaking hands with their opponents with their heads held high whether its a WIN or a LOSS-thats how the COACHES taught them and their PARENTS. So shame on you-you should feel like a complete POS for attacking 11 year olds when that was completely inaccurate.
Say Express played better then SMASH in the finals and beat them 7-4 but dont say they were unsportsmanlike in anyway...so far from the truth Not a secret everyone hates teams that win over and over...its is a good thing the 2022 bracket is getting more competetive but lets remember their 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
deez...
FACT: A handful of 91 boys did not shake hands and it was not the first time. It was witnessed and confirmed. Speak with the players and they will tell you the truth. Good opportunity for coaches and parents to teach a lesson.

It's a good opportunity for coaches, parents and players to start appreciating the talent on the field and showing respect to one another. I can guarantee it will promote a more enjoyable environment for all.
So if its a fact then get their jersey numbers and coaches/parents will address those individuals since according to you " its not the first time" it called fabrication

It's definitely happened in the past, but let's not dwell on it. Congrats to both teams for playing at a high level. Coaches/parents, talk to your kids and teach them how to win & lose with honor & respect.

It's a 2023/2024 91 team. Not Maryland.
All Aboard ! The Channy Express steamrolls into Blatant this weekend after an impressive win over SMASH. Can the Express train keep rolling? or will Igloo freeze them in their tracks? All Aboard !
You express parents are starting to sound like smash parents. 1 win. A great win though. But hate to say it the real team to beat in this grade is 91 united.

IF this statement above is coming from an Express parent (which I have my doubts), I'm embarrassed for the entire club.

Win & lose with class. The chest pounding has just got to stop.
Use your heads...

These are crazy parents trying to stir **** up.

Especially when the team you beat beat you by double digits earlier in the day. Be humble no one wins all the time and no one stays on top forever

Yes, be humble. And you give us all such a good example. smh
I think that United is the team to beat in the 2022 grade level. They got MUCH better as Smash did not! Express obviously got better too. I think Igloo will win the whole thing this weekend and looking at the schedule the Outlaws will go 1 and 2 and be done!

There is no team to beat. They are all good. We'll see how 3 of the top 4 Long Island teams do vs 91 Maryland this weekend. Yes... Igloo is the other team in the top 4 (IMO).

I'm confused. Smash, Maryland and United are not playing.
Some loser is either glued to a computer all day long or has their phone (and something else) in their hand all day and they think they are funny by trying to stir things up on this thread. We should all stop feeding into the nonsense and retaliating. Maybe then this person will go get a life and focus on their own kid. There's no need for all this hating here.

Wow you are really dumb! This site was created for the parents to argue who's kids lacrosse team is the best right? I know my child is perfect and plays on the greatest team in the whole wide world! YOUR ALL PATHETIC!

Cannons fell apart last summer when they were turned in for having overage kids. Many of their better kids have gone to Diamondbacks who will continue to be a top team. Other Cannons kids have gone to the Madlax MD team.

Yes, it's definitely all about Smash. They will toy with the MD team.
Shut up, dummy. K
The MD was great group kids and was very, very good. In the end they outlasted Express in a very competitive game.

Great game MD! Awesome coaching, nice kids that were insanely fast! Enjoy LI. I hope it's a good experience.

No real coaching. Kids from 5 or 6 teams only together for a practice or two before going up there.
MD Team beat Smash and United today.
No reason to ever rank these teams anymore. A lot of parity now in this age. Two great one goal games for Igloo and Express today. High level of lax was played.
Scores for these games?

Should definitely rank them, igloo beat express and won the tournament and express beat smash and won a tournament, so igloo is #1 until someone beats them

All Aboard!!!
FANTASTIC weekend of lacrosse for 2022 on LI!! We got to see some real competition with the stars from Maryland visiting us playing United, Smash and Express!! The Maryland boys were super FAST and with some fantastic stick skills!! Then a great day at the blatant tournament(except for the usual few knucklehead parents) solid competition! Both Express/Igloo games were awesome, congrats to the Igloo boys, can't wait for the Summer rematches!

barely. Dont hold your breath. The team they played just started playing together. Its just the beginning. Sit back. Its anybody's game with all of these teams. No one gets the crown this early. Save your analysis.

Wait a minute!! I have to call you out on this one. Last week it as All Aboard!!! Express train rolling!! Next Up!!, Now it's "The team they played just starting playing together" You people are a joke. Just let the kids play

I have no idea who the all aboard person is. Frankly its dumb. Just stating its anybody's game with ALL the top teams. To state you are #1 is just as immature. You are right about one thing, just let the kids play. It was special to watch all the boys yesterday. The talent from 2022 is impressive. Going to have great competitive seasons ahead. Igloo is a well oiled machine. Same kids for years. It shows. Express for all intents and purposes is a new team. Hope to have the same longevity. All the best.

People , this is the result of this age group of so many kids playing since they were 4 years old. 5/6 years ago not every kid started that early. I don't think you will see a dominant team by 6th grade anymore in the future.

With these kids it was mostly roll the ball out and let them play.
Sounds like bitter MD parent who's son didn't make the team.

There were some kids from the same teams (Diamondbacks, Hawks, Roughriders, Koopers, Breakers, Team 91 MD, and Koopers), but it mostly was "Great off the cuff play from an all-star team" that only had two practices.

As someone said they were really fast and you know that you can't coach speed.

I guess whatever they were yelling out had nothing to do with lacrosse.
Here is an idea take 3 or 4 of the top kids from the top 2022 LI programs and set up a game or 2
What is this I see ?? Long Island parents getting along ?? U feeling ok ..

Since Epress and Igloo beat Outlaws then they are the lowest in the ranking? I think by end of season Outlaws will beat those two teams and the 91 teams too!

I hope so. What other age group has this?
MD Stars 2022 beat Long Island Express (this past Friday night), and then LI Team 91 Crush (Saturday am) and LI Team 91 United (immediately afterward).

Going to go out on a limb here and say Smash not Crush.
What were the scores?
Looks like Express and Igloo will be back at it this weekend in Maryland! Looking forward to another great game!

express game was goal for goal. It was 10-8 at end. Game was still going on and the lights shut off on field. It was a great game. Don't know about other games. Top teams this year on LI are pretty even. I can just imagine if they took the top 4 or 5 kids from these teams and played games.

due to football express may not have a full staff. Hope not.dont directors know its Halloween too. They are only 11.
These are 6th graders right? It's not about winning these things it's about getting your kid better . Does it pay to hardly play on a good team for just a t shirt or would rather play a lot and get better..if they don't split time evenly then leave your team
Express has too many players anyway so I doubt they will "miss" anyone.

if the team split into A and B both teams would be better. Some people refuse to play B. They would rather sit out the tough games. You are not doing your kid any favors.

Is this really true... Express will sit a kid in a game vs top competition ? Most teams may reduce or limit time on the field - but to not play them? Hopefully that was made clear when the kid accepted the offer to play for them.

Channy/Lynott have a great group of kids, parents that get along. But the detractors are always around.

Night and day difference from last/past years squad.

Good luck to all the 2022 BOYS. The negative parents can eat grass.
So much nicer than last season. Nice kids and nice parents.. The boys are already playing like a team.

Channy should thank the Lax Gods for gifting him a team from 32 that he could not develop on his own. Now he running to every tourney with this team. He is a total tool.

You're so cute.
channy express 2022 is the new 32 - they travel in hoards
All 32 all holdbacks too!!!!!!
Only three 32's of significance. Must have been a package deal. fl$ got these rest of 32.
going to be a long winter of practice , cant wait till spring gonna be some great games at this level Good luck to all 2022 playing next couple of weekends gonna get cold soon ! Enjoy
Does anyone with inside knowledge know if PAL plans to have a Select Division in 5th and 6th grades again? Hearing not a forgone conclusion given light sponsorship over the last two seasons? Anyone with any info? Thanks.
Let's be clear. Manhasset 32 is a town program. For 2022, a large group of boys chose to pursue select teams this year; such as Express, fl$, Igloo and Legacy.
nobody gives a crap about 32 !! get over yourself, there are a lot of towns with good travel teams

Yes, really. You were not the best town travel team. End of discussion.
How many other town teams competed at 32's level? The 2022 team had victories against 91 Smash, Igloo and TLI (all great teams). Just give credit where credit is due.

Stop it with Smash already. Smash did not need to win the game and rested their best players. You need to just say thanks for the gift. Also, please remember to stay quiet about the non Manhasset kids who are "invited guests" and play for you when needed.

"Rested best players ". The AA team should be deep enough to play at least 2 middie lines. And I'm sure the Attack and Defense was exhausted from the half field play of a 40 min running time game. Stop with the excuses .

You sound bitter. And it's just youth lax. You must be a joy to be around at home and on the sidelines.

Facts are stubborn things: 2022 32 never lost to another town team, and is one of two teams on Long Island to beat the powerful and very talented 91 Smash team.
All grade level, residents of Manhasset. Deal with it.
Losers make excuses [don't be one]. 32 beat Smash last year at NLF, however Smash beat 32 several times prior to that. Pathetic, that you make ridiculous statements such as "it was a gift". 91 Smash and United were and are the best teams...credit where credit is due. Factually, 32 had no hold-backs and never played with invited guest players...just an athletic group of boys from Manhasset, who were well-coached and trained in the fundamentals of the game.

not really guy. everyone saw the game. not one kid rested...but seeing that it bothers you so much, we'll stay with your revisionist history.

listen, just a little old town team beat the mighty smash...just once. it' okay. however, united followed that up by winning the nxt cup. smash no longer the "hands down" best team on LI. see you in the spring.

You have to live in manhasset to play for 32, sorry buddy
smash deez
you misunderstand a lot. all the teams mentioned above have 32 players on them. THOSE kids will play with 32 when they can just like all other town teams do. The kids that play travel and town play town when they can.

it was made perfectly clear. don't worry about Express. it's like every other club. no one wants to play on B. they would rather sit out more on A. it's the parents more than the clubs.

Stop it with Smash already. Smash did not need to win the game and rested their best players. You need to just say thanks for the gift. Also, please remember to stay quiet about the non Manhasset kids who are "invited guests" and play for you when needed.


ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. rested their best kids. good one.

Believe it I was there. They set up cots to rest on.

get used to it. He wasn't used. He is on the team. What exactly is your point. You are allowed to live in other places. What an idiotic thing to say.
Igloo vs. Express in semis tomorrow.

Time to see if Igloo has any elite teams outside of their 2021 squad

Ringer? You loser! See you tomorrow Igloo dad! SMH
Third team in less than a year. I'm sure this one won't work either.

I think they have already proven they are an elite team. Along with 3-4 other LI teams. Lets hope for a competitive game today.
good luck to the boys many of whom know each other.

Isn't the team called "The LI Express" ? Sounds like they need to change their name to the Tri State Express.

team is based out of long island. Based on that theory all the Mets should have come from NY. Try again. But if it makes you feel better you can refer to us as tri state.we will work on Connecticut.
Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

91 played FCA blue, FCA White and Looneys. They were supposed to play Crabs but things were changed. Don't know why.

Crabs beat FCA Blue, Roughriders and Club Blue. None were close

United in hiding, (who have they played on LI this fall?), Smash in denial, (it was a gift, we rested out top players, we could be co-champs & don't have to play the final game). Foundation showing cracks. Parents in panic mode.

Fun theatre, but the boys are more entertaining to watch. Would be nice to see the parents stfu, and just enjoy the games.

I know it's a stretch, but can you imagine a world where LI teams actually applauded each other?! GO ON!

we haven't seen United but we have seen their coach scouting games this fall. Just play already. At least the other teams are playing each other. Win or lose.

Yup! Such an obsession on winning it's sad. How about teach the boys to respect their teammates, opponents and the game and make sure they are enjoying it. Do that and everything will be fine when these boys move on to the school level. And don't get me wrong, these teams are built to win, but scouting is completely ridiculous, in my opinion. It would stand to reason that if a coach is available to scout, you're available to bring the team down and play. Better than going out of state vs soft competition.

Just a little tired of you guys monopolizing every single thread on the site. And we were talking about a MD event and MD teams. Before you -once again-took over eith your constant LI one-upping of each other.
This is a great post. The kids won't do what they're parents tell them to do they will do what they see their parents do. It is possible to be competitive and demonstrate sportsmanship in the process, win or lose.
Does anybody know which MD and NY teams are going to tampa for the [lacrosse]'s U-11 tourney in Dec?

Crabs beat Roughriders 8-4 in an ugly game(It was the second of back to back games with no break for both of them). FCA beat Roughriders 7-3. 91 played 2 B teams other than their game vs FCA Blue
Crabs looked very strong--good athletes/high lax IQ

understood. Obviously someone mixed up which tournament you were referring to. There were a lot of ny teams in Maryland this weekend. Most of us are doing damage control trying to stop the one-upping. It does get annoying.
all Aboard! The Channy Express and its 32 car freight train is back! After, by far giving 91 Md its toughest game last weekend and rolling into a minor cold front by the Artic Blast at Blatant, the Express continued their journey to Md to win the Battle by the Bay!
All Aboard! Next stop, Mayflower Madness!

You are disturbed, and definitely have NOTHING to do with Express. You are the worst kind of troll. You represent everything that's wrong with what is said on this forum and the poor behavior/bad sportsmanship on the sidelines at games.

I wish there was a way to block you from ever posting again. Sad and pathetic...you must be a very lonely person.

So does anyone have any info on the new team from Sayville, the Fighting Ducks?

It's kinda lighthearted and harmless I think. Would you prefer people coming on here and accusing teams of kids playing down, they all have holdbacks, he is a guest player, those kids are from out state, club is a money grab, etc, etc. The post doesn't attack any team or club and I would classify it as harmless hyperbole.

You're right, watching kids play lacrosse and get better, meet new people and make friends is so fulfilling. Winning makes it better but it's not the end all be all for this team. You know who doesn't care about winning? Losers do. People made fun of this team for stinking the past few years, now you'll hate on them for winning? I'm sure no express patent comes on here to brag. Coaches run a great program that is having success. Let the kids enjoy it.

I'm assuming "patent" means parent for the illiterate ? Very classy calling 11 year olds losers. Hopefully your kid doesn't realize what type of person you are yet.

It was a typo but hopefully all readers will pick up on that, but thanks Einstein. And I wasn't calling any kids losers, it was a reference to your prior comment about enjoying the victories that these kids are producing. If you don't care about winning then go find another venue, way too much time and money is spent on this sport to solely be focused on having fun.

The "losers" comment was a generalization and not directed any kid or group of kids. Anyone with a high school degree can decipher that.

The typo was clearly a "fat finger". Which I would take over a "fat head" like yours any day. Worry about yourself, and your kid. The character examples you display leave a lot to be desired.

So you called 11 year olds losers as a "generalization" and you know the right words, just have trouble typing them. I stand corrected. The name calling (of adults) is new to this post, but not unexpected.

Most emails give at least a strong clue to who they are or work for or are affiliated in some way with, or even their names... they'd have to go through the effort to change that to dump on here at the risk of being noticed...deez nutz...lol cutting out of some of the bickering would be nice but hey whatever. thanks for the site.

nope, just to 32 who are still wetting their pants that it happened.
Seems like you are the one that needs a diaper. Anyone who was actually there knows there was no let up. The whole tournament turned around to watch and was elated to finally shut some parents up. Too bad its at the expense of the kids.
Deez nutz Dad...that loss to '32, LOSS, yes when they BEAT you is embedded deeply in your psyche... really funny. You can not let it go. You are going to completely unravel as your team slips this year back to the pack. They were highly skilled and ahead of their time but are not overly fast or athletic and small. Seek therapy. I am affiliated with neither team.
It seems 32 had your number because a few 32 kids move to Express and then Express beats you. Just saying maybe people would not be saying anything
If you were not such a complete idiot. But people like you are why Smash is thought of the way they are

smile smile smile ... This one speaks the truth, Ruth! Smashed humble pie, coming right up. Oh, and did Smash also gift the NXT Cup to their "B" team? Don't think so, but at least they didn't lose to a little old town team.

Outplayed, which was hard for the 32 boys to do. Outclassed, which was easy for any parent to do.
Now all of you just mind your manners, the appropriate response when receiving a gift is "thank you" and then the gift giver says, "you are most welcome" or something to that effect....

You're welcome....

how bad did you get picked on? the appropriate response is, yes, sir, may I have another.
Express beat Smash when it counted. Does anyone remember the score of the earlier game? I never saw it posted on this forum.
Jeez people! Can we change the subject???? Can we use this thread to communicate useful info that everyone has an interest in??

Not sure what email you're referring to, I'm asking for some options. If you have anything productive to add, please do. If not, go kick your dog again. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT!

Taking a much needed break. 4 weeks in a row facing top competition. 3 Championships, a loss in a Championship game and a great scrimmage vs Maryland's best. Not to shabby by this great group of boys and coaches.

Typos are tough on your "smart" phone, lol. But to answer the question 32 is not a prime number but 23 is.... And the boys played way better teams than any other 2022 team will face this fall. Outlaws, Legacy, Express North, fl$, Smash, Igloo, Sweetlax, Madlax, Texas Mustangs, and the Maryland Stars.

Nope, he's just your run of the mill loser troll! Stupidity coupled with jealousy of 11 year old boys is dangerous!
Big weekend for the Outlaws Select going out to New Jersey and beating up on a bunch of B teams. Lol I'm sure glad PB gets to stroke his ego. He and the parents must be proud! What a loser organization!!
It appears your the loser that goes out of his way to put this out there. No one cares what the Outlaws did this weekend. You must be an ex-outlaw parent to go out of your way to say that. Either way good luck to you and your new team which is probably a low tier B team. You sound like you will need it.

Let me ask you if going out to jersey to beat up on B teams is ok? If so you are an embarrassment to the sport as well! BTW my child now plays on a team that would destroy this Outlaws team.

this team cant catch a break. All you hear is they shouldn't play A and now its they are losers for playing B. You really shouldn't use this forum as a bully pulpit to satisfy the axe you have to grind against the outlaws. And if you are on a team that would destroy them you should be happy. Yet you are still bashing them. You need to let it go.
agreed. Let it go unless the truth is you moved to a less talented team and are just miserable.

I've seen the Outlaws team play and while they are a "cuspy a/b" team, who cares? The boys compete, and the coaches are giving them good direction. Just leave it alone already. They compete and they are getting stronger. That's all that should count.

OK We get it but for a team to intentionally go into a tournament that you know is geared for weaker competition and go beat everyone just to get a shirt is not only bad for the sport but bad for the kids who had to get a beating and not learn anything from it!
What teams did they beat ?

I disagree. If they continually play the tougher comp and more times than not lose, they would get discouraged. Playing in a B bracket, there is still nothing guaranteed, they have to go out and win. And when they do, it gives a boost to 11 year olds confidence.
Hey - is this true??? Heard a rumor today. Did a Town Team actually beat Express 2 times in one tournament several years ago ? If it is true - sounds like Express has gotten better since then smile All teams can improve - don't count anyone out. This is 6th grade lacrosse. Kids grow, improve, mature at different rates.. no organization has a lock on all the talent. If you think you do - you are fooling yourself.. just like many parents of 6th graders think their kid is getting a full ride... when D1 Schools have only 12.69 scholarships to give out.. for a 40 man roster... some bigger. Just let the kids play lacrosse.
Please call and set up a scrimmage. And what team is this? Although I know you won't say.

It will have to be a scrimmage since we won't cross paths in a tournament, since Outlaws are too busy traveling out of state to play in B tournaments to stroke PB's ego. Look at what happened last year, the only tournaments they won were B tournaments out of state. They lost against real competition.
Again, what team is this? Still won't say. Set something up. What competition has your sons team played this fall? Outlaws have played express 2 times and both igloo teams. Seems like pretty good competition to me. 2 of the top 4 teams in the age bracket. Played them tough too. You really have it out for them. Wonder why?

So the Troll is from either TLI, trolling from whatever out of state tournament they play in, or Smash/United or fl$?

Name a few more potential teams. I am not a troll I am speaking the absolute truth. Every single tournament they won last year was out of state or a B tournament. But they will keep selling the parents that its a good day to be an Outlaw!

Gigantic loser posting this above! Here's an idea, go to your bathroom mirror, take off your shirt, scream at the top of your lungs "arrrrrrrhhhh!" And pound chest you complete jack@ss.

You are the perfect example of what's wrong with youth sports.
You people need to get a life. My son no longer plays for Outlaws 2022 Select or AA team. He/ we have nothing but great things to say about the way he was treated by P.B., the coaches, the players he played with and the parents. You need to realize this is sports its not personal. You can agree or disagree with how they pick THEIR team but in the end its THEIR team. It is a fact of life that crap happens, you can either be sour over it or make "Lemonade". I prefer to use it as a learning lesson for my son, teaching him the proper way to act when things don't go your way.
Now Let me get this straight:
I read you saying that they are not an "A" team they should stick to "B" competition. So then they go to play "B" competition and kick butt and you call them out.
Why don't you crawl back under the rock you came from and leave these boys alone. I wish this team nothing but the best!!! Keep it up OUTLAWS!!!

THUMBS UP! Great example for your son. Good luck to him. I hope he never gives up!

Ahh, ok... PB.
No loser,I am not PB.Just someone who has a problem with cowards that bash people from behind a keyboard. I hope your children don't end up old and bitter like you. Life is way too short to live it like you do. Before you know it your sons youth sports career will be over.

And that's when he'll stop kicking the dog and start beating his wife
You must be the parent of the kid who went to Igloo B to say your kid plays on Igloo. Baaaaaahaaaaaa
How is the Express B, I mean new A team weathering? I know the AA Express 32 is doing awesome.

Per NCAA rules the 12.69 scholarships may be awarded up to a limit of 30 players. So for the large rosters of 40 to 50 that's at least 10 to 20 boys receiving no athletic money.

They are saying that you are a B team and they claim to be a big bad A team but can't compete against real competition! so they go play in a tournament that you should have won but Outlaws needed to feel good about themselves!
This guy is nuts! How much time and energy do you waste a day being angered by this outlaw team. No one cares what team your son is on. No one is guessing. You'll never say anyway. No balls. Then you would be figured out. Not that hard. BTW, do you think for 1 second the kids and parents you keep bashing have any say whatsoever which tournaments they play in? Come on, but you'll keep bashing the kids. Get a life. Enjoy your kids playing days. Stop worrying about other kids. Also don't worry about igloo either. They will be fine also. Give them time.

this is all coming from an angry x outlaw parent. Don't bring express into it.
Agreed, outlaws parents can't seem to accept that the majority of their teams including 2022 are B teams, some are better B and some are not. None are A...outlaws parents want to stretch the definition of A to include themselves with the top 7-8 travel teams on LI ignoring the fact that they have never beat any of them and ignoring the fact that they often get beat by other B teams. Outlawas should head to Maryland and see another 8-10 A teams they can't beat and 10 B teams that they will most likely go 50/50 with. This has nothing to do with express or igloo.

you sound like the angry x outlaw parent still beating the dead horse about whether they are A or B. They are playing competitive games. Shut up already. How many more times are you going to post the sane thing.

This Outlaws discussion is ridiculous. They played against some good teams and lost and everyone is all over them for losing. Then they enter the Fall Finale tournament in Princeton where competition is not that good and they win easily and everyone is all over them. What should they do?
Who is the best in Maryland? Team 91 boosted they had the best team before playing a game. How have they done and other top teams so far this fall? Great age group with a lot of good teams,

Well they chose to play B teams and backed out of their scheduled game with Crabs a couple weeks ago. Will find out how good they are in spring when they play Diamondbacks.

They have the best coach in the country.

There are a lot of teams who could win on any given day. Madlax, Bethesda, Hawks, Diamondbacks, Cannons, FCA, Crabs, Breakers (aka Team 91 MD)

What is to be gained by going into a tournament and rolling the competition? NOTHING. It is bad for the sport, and as a kid on the other team it sucks getting beat up that bad. Just enter a tournament that you may actually lose or win by a few goals. Not a lot to ask!

Outlawas should head to Maryland and see another 8-10 A teams they can't beat and 10 B teams that they will most likely go 50/50 with. This has nothing to do with express or igloo.


you sound like the angry x outlaw parent still beating the dead horse about whether they are A or B. They are playing competitive games. Shut up already. How many more times are you going to post the sane thing.


This Outlaws discussion is ridiculous. They played against some good teams and lost and everyone is all over them for losing. Then they enter the Fall Finale tournament in Princeton where competition is not that good and they win easily and everyone is all over them. What should they do?


What is to be gained by going into a tournament and rolling the competition? NOTHING. It is bad for the sport, and as a kid on the other team it sucks getting beat up that bad. Just enter a tournament that you may actually lose or win by a few goals. Not a lot to ask!
Who did outlaws beat in Princeton and by what scores??


They won 14-0, 7-3, 12-1,13-0, and 9-2 in the Ship. One close game and the rest are blow outs! That is bad for lacrosse! It was a B tournament they had to go to since they can't compete with the A teams on Long Island!
sounds like they were in the wrong division

Only 1 division.
This year they played express: lost 6-3 and 11-6. Lost to igloo A 7-5.
Beat express B 14-1, three village 9-1, igloo B 9-2. Seems to me they shouldn't be playing against B teams. They can compete against the A teams by the looks of it. So stop with your nonsense they are a B team. Clearly they are A. Whether they win or not. Here it comes...last year they lost to so and so...guess what last year express got destroyed by smash and this year beat them. New year. By the way I'm guessing your kid got cut

I still think setting kids up to get their teeth kicked in every tourney is not a recipe for long term success. Outlaws 2022 is clearly on the cusp of A/B, albeit closer to a legit A team.

Stop the bashing. You put them down when they show up to A level tourneys and don't come out on top, and bash them when they win the B tourneys they play in.

The kids are 11! Confidence means EVERYTHING in terms of their development. What's one fall B tourney mean? Just a positive feel good attitude to go into winter training with.

Not affiliated with Outlaws, but just can't understand the hate.

stop the nonsense. Some B teams are very weak, some are closer to A. It stinks to get blown out but you cant stop stronger teams from playing in tournaments. You should have it out with the guy who excoriates them for playing A and losing all the time.
How did the igloo b team do this past weekend?

You should really not let this one person continue to bash this team and program. They are a decent team. B plus , A minus , who cares. And I don't really care for the outlaws , but this is abusive! People I know there have been there for years and can't say enough good things about PB and the coaches!

The bottom line is that PB and the coaches are ego maniacs and can't stand the fact that they might lose a tournament. It has nothing to do with the kids i'm sure they are all good kids. It amazes me that the parents are ok with playing in these weak tournaments year after year!
You must have missed the two tournaments they played this fall and pretty much lost every game.
And what tournament was that?
Columbus day invitational: beat honey badgers, express B and three village. Lost in championship 6-3 to express A. Thas 3-1 for day. Blatant: beat express north, lost to express A 11-6 lost to igloo A 7-5. Thats 1-2. This past weekend went 4-0.
Hardly getting killed every game. Do you realize how bitter and pathetic you sound? Get a life.

Completely agree with post. PB is an arrogant s.o.b, but the kids are great.
Not angry X-outlaw parent. Just an observer who has to hear about how awesome your kid is in every sport he plays.

You show me one forum entry where an Outlaw parent is bragging.. it does not happen. The boys all get along - the parents do as well when watching on the side lines. But never have i seen any bragging. Let the kids have fun.. and move on.

Im not moving on! I'm surprised that they have not found another tournament to stack. Maybe its time to regulate lacrosse to make sure competition is equal!

Yes, everything should be equal. Equal pay, equal play, blah blah blah. Just shut up already. Competition is what it is. If you're not prepared to get your @$$ kicked and fight back, don't compete! Are they the same age/grade? That is all you need to know.

I'm not advocating A teams play down in B tourneys just to mop up, but if a team is on the cusp, it is somewhat difficult to know with certainty how good the competition will be at any given tournament. Show up, play your hardest and hope for the best.
you two yentas should get together and bake cookies and watch soap operas.....

Yes.. i will say it again... Beat them down because you say they are not an A team... so when they win a so called B tournament - you still beat them down. The kids all get along and they are having fun. Likely not the same experience for you whereever you ended up.

Freedom by a long shot. However no phillybteam will be able to hang with the big boys. Philly lacrosse is very diluted right now. 20 teams.
Could someone please inform the Igloo B team they are not an A team. When they play like the AA Elite Igloo and have the sportsmanship like AA, then you can say A. It is a lot of money for a B team and the kids chanting nonsense after a win is disgusting. Not a scorer loser hear, but listening on the sidelines the parents describing their team as the AA team? Not a chance and not in the same class.
Hawks blow out Mesa rising sons and orange crush today. Maryland lacrosse is top in the east coast.

Actually there are like 28 teams in a 30 mile radius right now, very diluted. But when it matters they will most likely be Sons. Sons 8th grade team dismantled Freedom easily. If some of those teams ever combine it could be lights out for the rest of the east coast. Most of the philly teams eventually funnel into a few programs that compete with the best in the country. Parents will see that there will be some clubs that will separate themselves with the training piece and very soon you will see that club dominate at all levels.

haha yeah right, as soon as skill and IQ matter freedom done. At 6th grade you can get by on talent, Freedom not teaching the kids how to play. Go watch their offense, no flow, its a mess. We left last year and will never go back.

I think everyone would be shocked if anyone on Igloo B said they were an AA team after being together for two months. Many of those parents are from last year's Jesters team and it doesn't sound like them.

I love the calling a team an AA . let's be real it's A and B .and that Igloo team is a B team. Who did they beat? And was it all A team or B teams they beat. If you lost to them it doesn't say much for your team if you are playing in A tournamens

either way you are calling out people as losers for saying teams are competitive. who else would say 'so says the loser' if it wasn't one of the teams that just played. you are owning up to saying it and protesting you are not a smash parent. so says the parent who is actually the loser.

nothing wrong with paying 3K for playing B. lets just cut to the chase and call all the top teams AA so the second team can be called A. igloo A competes fine with the top A teams. if they are AA so is smash united express along with the top Maryland teams and so on. whats the difference. play on the team that fits your kid and it no body's business who pays what for what. unfortunately the sideline banter filters down to the kids and they are the ones who are made to feel inadequate saying they are on a B team. its ridiculous. if your kid is playing competitive games and getting better, you are getting your money's worth.

you have no idea if it was a smash parent or not. Whoever it was is the real loser. I'm big on calling people out. Its not insecurity its called accountability.
That's where you are wrong in my opinion.. You are worried about Igloo kids calling themselves B players and they would feel inadequate. I guess failure or motivation is not something you want to teach your kid. I guess you believe all kids should get trophys at the end of a season for participation. Keep telling your kid he is great without motivating him could possibly set him up for failure .Yes they are young but at what point do you start to let him know they have work to do to get better. You can't keep praising them and painting a false picture. It use to be A and B until parents didn't want their own ego to be bruised and that's the truth. Igloo B is a B and like the others should be called that by kids and parents
Agreed totally on the Igloo B comments. Call me dumb or cheap. I would rather pay 1500 for my son's B team than 3000 for his friends B spot on Igloo B. Enjoy the Igloo helmet wraps. Priceless.

Nobody from Igloo B pretends that they are an A team. Igloo B has been together for a little over a month. We are happy with the coaching and the amount of lacrosse the kids will get for the amount of money we are spending. Not sure about the chanting, Igloo B played in a tournament yesterday and won three games relatively easily. It was not championship format, it was freezing cold with the wind off the water but it was a fun day. I didn't see any bad sportsmanship by Igloo or any other teams, parents, coaches or kids. Last week Igloo won easily against teams in Princeton and then lost to Outlaws A team. We know exactly where the kids stack up relative to AA teams, A teams, B teams etc.

Ha Ha !!! saw the same thing, But as muich as i dont like him or his style (it'shy we pulled our kid) He got results. My sons team was up until Cat started yelling and screaming and acting like a crazy person, but as soon as he did the kids responded and came back to win. I can't see the kids responding to it for long. Eventually they will get tired of it.

The parents have to get tired of it too after a while. I'm glad we are gone!!!!!

I saw the same thing vs Hitmen. They legitimately were beating True Blue the whole game mostly with the ex-True Blue kids all while JC was screaming and complaining. The kids that left True Blue or were cut by JC were were very happy they won.

Everyone is anonymous or hadn't you noticed. Some people are very obvious to figure out though.

LI parent here and I think there is the same amount of quality teams in Maryland as LI. LI'S top teams, in no specific order, both 91 teams, Express and Igloo is likely on parity with the MD Stars, Adren, Hawks and Crabs. I think the only team that could break into that group from outside those locations is Laxachusetts. That's based on an eye test. Can't give an opinion on teams I have not seen play.

I'd add Cannons and Rising Sons to that list based on fall ball only.

MD Stars isn't a club. It was an all start team put together

LI parent here and I think there is the same amount of quality teams in Maryland as LI. LI'S top teams, in no specific order, both 91 teams, Express and Igloo is likely on parity with the MD Stars, Adren, Hawks and Crabs. I think the only team that could break into that group from outside those locations is Laxachusetts. That's based on an eye test. Can't give an opinion on teams I have not seen play.


MD Stars isn't a club. It was an all start team put together


91 Baltimore, Arden Diamondbacks, Hawks, 91 Smash and FCA all playing a round robin in MD this weekend.

And 91 United is still in hiding. Look for their coaches scouting on the sideline.

feel better that you got that out.
your all star team beat the top teams but no where close to any blowouts. In fact express was goal for goal the whole game. If we took the all stars from express igloo smash and united outcome would have been much different. But you pound your chest if it makes you feel good.

Regarding the comment about ex-True Blue players. Correction, the kids on Hitmen were NOT cut by JC despite the gossip. They tried out and made it but chose not to return and some never tried out. Sorry, just hate reading inaccurate information. Ok...start bashing! LOL

That's even better that the kids made the True Blue team but didn't want to play for JC or his cronies.

But still a team. I know because I saw their matching uniforms and helmets. Either way, they are very good.
I'd like to say one thing. The 2021 edge team is coming down and going to kick the snot out of anyone. A little spring surprise and can't wait to play teams that might be the same age. This weekend in Maryland was a joke and teams should be ashamed of themselves for cheating. Crabs had 4 kids who were six feet. The gig is up and we will see where this team fits into the conversation. Second at dicks last year and held its own quite nicely in Maryland.
Unite Deez Nuts!!!

This is a 2022 thread. Brag about your team on the correct thread.

Who says something like that???

Edge is the biggest ones holding kids back. Don't case stones when you do it yourself
I know it's a few weeks old, but can someone post the scores from the Battle of the Bay in Maryland over Halloween weekend?

Express was victorious over Sweetlax, Madlax, Texas Mustangs, and Igloo. The smallest margin was 6 or 7 goals.
Express 14 - Sweetlax 1
Express 11 - Madlax 6
Express 10 - Texas Mustangs 3

Express 10 - Igloo 3 (Semi)
Express 8 - Texas Mustangs 4 (Final)

Move along is right. Who cares should have been the answer. It's fall ball people. Meaningful games are more than six months away. Kids do a lot of growing and maturing in six months at this age.

Who knows what we'll see in late spring/summer?!

Express got good real fast. Reinvented the program real fast.
No way a B tournament.
Lets not forget Express dad it was Halloween weekend. I am sure a lot of those teams had kids that didn't participate because they are 11 year old kids that actually celebrated Halloween. Imagine that.

yes express only had 14 players.imagine that.
The first 14 like they did when they split the team in half at the other tournament in October. We all heard about how MC made two teams out of the alleged one team. So you only took the first 14 and not the second 14.
MC does not sound like a very good coach at this level. Is he a better HS coach I hope? Someone always ranks teams here, how about ranking coaches?

What is it a high school team?? Some kids didn't make the trip because of other sport obligations or didn't want to travel Halloween weekend! MC did not pick and choose who went!

Where do you clowns get this information.

Futhermore, the first tournament he split the one team up into so he can see right off the bat what he was working with. The man is a good coach, unless you are a bitter parent whose kid didn't make the team, then he sucks I guess! If you are not a parent on the team, you can only assume these things you are ranting about here but hey, troll away!

Does your son play for him? Have you met the man? The guy is a hardworking coach! He does great with the boys and knows lacrosse! Are you aware of how many D1 players he has coached and developed??
I agree 100%! Always heard the negative rants about what a bad guy/coach, etc MC was. Now that my son is on the team I can see first hand that MC and the rest of the coaches do a GREAT job developing ALL of the kids on the team.
My son has missed plenty of practices & games because of in season sports conflicts. The coaches have absolutely zero problem with this.

Sorry Mac hater, but you're selling a bunch of BS, and nobody is buying it.
I hear there are 30 kids on team. Here is a legitimate question, how can you divide your team into two teams with a couple of subs and not have a 30 man roster? I am sure the other guy is blowing some smoke but sound like there is some truth to it also.

cone on. You can do better than that.
SL is the best coach at this age. Smash has the majority of the original players. He develops players, MC just guts his team that he could not develop and replaced them with developed players. Where is going to look to next year for players

get your facts straight. He didn't gut the team. He actually chose the team this year. A few parents sold him on private workouts before tryouts last year. They are now on to another organization. He's developing this team quite nicely along with the other coaches.

you heard wrong and why do you care how many kids there are? Some people refuse to play on B. They know full well what they are getting. Stop worrying about things that don't affect you. And if you are on the team, you have choices.

I guess the united coach will be sad to hear that. I'm fairly certain he believes he's the best coach at this age group.
What? He had a deal in place before the tryouts were even announced with the 32 kids. Kid from nj was in since last summer. The others are on team because they bow to the almighty MC. BUT a big wake up call was placed when the team was divided VERY unevenly at legacy tournament. Plenty of discontent on that team.

United is using TLI game plan, hide and say you're the best.

that couldn't be further from the truth. But if it makes you feel better to think that. Just like the united coach got new players too. So what? The point is HE chose the team. And he did good. Sorry if you are not happy where you are. And don't pretend you are. No one has to put others down if they are happy with their choices. Good luck.
The negative comments about MC are 100% untrue, and have no basis. Factually, the man is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he was an All-American lacrosse player. He is a family man who is fully committed to youth lacrosse and is passionate about developing young kids from the early years through college, and beyond. He and the Express leadership have established one of the premier youth lacrosse clubs in the country, with a longstanding tradition. Stop the nonsense, quit it with the personal attacks and show some respect.

Doesn't make him a nice person. Most people think he's not . Even the ones who play for him.

Maybe he's not warm and fuzzy like you would prefer, but he's a damn good coach who has demonstrated an ability to develop players, and is widely respected by college coaches.

I love SL, he's a funny guy and does a great job developing players as well. Two different styles. And the rest of SL's coaching staff also top notch.

The future is bright for LI kids with the top quality development they are receiving.

What really makes a coach a good coach is understanding that in youth sports kids win and lose the games and it's not about them.

He is a nice person, he may not always make decisions based on what's best for every kid, but he runs a good program and is a fantastic coach. And by the way, the LIE "program" is a for profit business, if your family doesn't want to operate in that type of environment there are many other choices, but you can't knock the way he runs his business. I've been around a lot of youth lacrosse programs - PAL, town intramurals, travel, etc. - and in my opinion, the way that MC coaches the kids is great. He makes it fun, is 100% committed, and knows the game, which is why he was able to attract talent to this great group of 2022 kids.

Until he's done with you and adds 10 more gets to roster. Come back in July and gives us an update ?

Your kid got bumped, we get it. Have little Johnnie hit the wall ball over the winter and you get back to us with an update.
People like you miss the teaching opportunity all the time. Johnnie wants to play on the A-team, play more minutes, etc....work harder.
If not, have all the minutes you want on the B-team. There's value in that also.
HE is a chauvinist...
Great story you made up, but not the case. Haven't and wouldn't allow my sons to play there. Been doing this long time and hear stories every year. Wait and see!

what's nice got to do with it. He produces results.
Agreed. He is not 91. They way he brings kids in and out. carries a roster of 30. Don't dispute it. We all saw them at the Columbus day invitational. I saw four subs on each team. Do the math. 30 man roster. He is in constant rotation of players. No loyalty and that is why he will always be 2nd fiddle.

so you have no first hand knowledge. all you go on is what you hear. for every bad story there are success stories. try talking to the people that are very happy. you might think differently. to each his own. you seem very intent bashing someone your kids have never played for.

How are you defining 2nd fiddle? Seems to have done a nice job with 2022 team (that is the thread you're on). He brought kids up from the Team 2 to round out the rosters, there are ~27 kids rostered on Team Channy in 2022 and everyone seems to be happy, plus the team did awesome this fall.

He won't be done with my kid if he keeps improving and contributing to the team's success. If you want your kid to be on an elite travel team that wins, don't expect charity from the coach or program. Call it loyalty if you want but turning over the top team for better talent is fine in my opinion. I don't expect my kid to make the team or start if he's not contributing/producing.

Well I guess we know who your with. At least you didn't dispute the 30 man roster. then you would lose all credibility. I know MC and his techniques. Trust me he will bring 10 guys in and replace your kid. Look at the 32 import and all the kids they got rid of to get that done. THE TRUTH

Nothing, unless your trying to paint MC as a loyal guy which he is not.

Depends on how define "loyal." If your kid is good enough to contribute then my assumption is that he'll be on the team. If you expect equal playing time and favoritism from MC that's unlikely to happen. He wants to win and have a successful program. That requires making changes every year if you have the opportunity to upgrade. There are many kids on the 2022 team that are interchangeable with kids on the Team 2 or from other programs, but in general, he seems to make decisions based on what's best for the team. I wouldn't call that being disloyal, and if you're looking for loyalty, what's the saying, get a dog?

He is a nice person, he may not always make decisions based on what's best for every kid, but he runs a good program and is a fantastic coach. And by the way, the LIE "program" is a for profit business, if your family doesn't want to operate in that type of environment there are many other choices, but you can't knock the way he runs his business. I've been around a lot of youth lacrosse programs - PAL, town intramurals, travel, etc. - and in my opinion, the way that MC coaches the kids is great. He makes it fun, is 100% committed, and knows the game, which is why he was able to attract talent to this great group of 2022 kids.


Until he's done with you and adds 10 more gets to roster. Come back in July and gives us an update ?


He won't be done with my kid if he keeps improving and contributing to the team's success. If you want your kid to be on an elite travel team that wins, don't expect charity from the coach or program. Call it loyalty if you want but turning over the top team for better talent is fine in my opinion. I don't expect my kid to make the team or start if he's not contributing/producing.



True. If you want equal playing time, don't come to 91 or Express. Go to fl$.

second fiddle. the team is doing extremely well. what are you talking about. loyalty? talk to some of the parents that he has to deal with. they don't know the meaning of the word.


Well I guess we know who your with. At least you didn't dispute the 30 man roster. then you would lose all credibility. I know MC and his techniques. Trust me he will bring 10 guys in and replace your kid. Look at the 32 import and all the kids they got rid of to get that done. THE TRUTH


they improved, what's wrong with that?


Nothing, unless your trying to paint MC as a loyal guy which he is not.


Depends on how define "loyal." If your kid is good enough to contribute then my assumption is that he'll be on the team. If you expect equal playing time and favoritism from MC that's unlikely to happen. He wants to win and have a successful program. That requires making changes every year if you have the opportunity to upgrade. There are many kids on the 2022 team that are interchangeable with kids on the Team 2 or from other programs, but in general, he seems to make decisions based on what's best for the team. I wouldn't call that being disloyal, and if you're looking for loyalty, what's the saying, get a dog?


To make changes after you commit $3,000.00 plus dollars is what I would call not being loyal. Don't take the money and then say "oh by the way we ware bringing some new kids" in after you committed to the program. Its BAD BUSINESS. THE TRUTH

He is loyal to the kids & families that stick with his program, and yes, loyal to the Express brand. To which he is entitled to. It is, after all, a business he is running.

well I guess we know you are from last year. some of the top kids from last year didn't even try out. they went to United. there are at least 7 or 8 players from last year getting top playing time. so basically he upgraded half the team which it needed desperately. if your kid is being replaced it's because he probably should be replaced. maybe in a year or two he will be ready for a top team again but to say he got 'rid of kids to get that done' like it's something you caught him in the act doing. it's well known. all the teams do it if they are trying to improve. he has 26 on the roster. why do you think that is. because he let people stay that probably should have played on B a year and the other half went to other organizations to play B. he does what he has to do in the top games which is what any good coach would do. why are you so bitter?

that did not happen. the 32 kids were at tryouts. they made the team the same time everyone else who made the team. they weren't an afterthought. that is all I'm saying. what coaches don't play the best players when they are playing a competitive game. if people were realistic about their kid's ability, they might feel differently. a lot happens in the next couple years. stop making excuses and just keep playing. it's not bad business. it's smart business. he is balancing wins with trying to play everyone. most competitive top teams forego the latter. last year people complained about not winning. this year people are complaining about not playing. most times you can't have both.

what crap? trying to win? parents know what they sign up for and if they feel misled they have other choices. this is what competitive sports is, like it or not.

the roster is the same size it was right after tryouts minus one player who left. there was no expanding of the roster. what is not cool is someone not speaking THE TRUTH.
Team wraps the fall up next Friday. Convince your coach to come out play and witness for yourself, because so much of this is so untrue.

And yet you continue to praise the infalible coaching abilities of Smash. You are so transparent. And you continue with this sophomoric "32express" nonsense. Get real. The other kids on EXPRESS deserve credit. They all play as a team. Only been together a few months and this team has your knickers in a knot. Can't wait for summer competition. Keep the paramedic vans close to the fields for the Smash Daddies!

just curious why you feel it necessary to rename the team 32express. the team did acquire great talent from 32 but so did several other teams. since united got some of the express kids from last year should we call them express-united. players are going to go to different teams. get used to it. it once again makes you sound bitter.

poor baby. I feel bad for you. You are the one not letting sleeping dogs lie. Hope you find some solace.
You'll see. 2022 Express was most competitive with other top clubs when DK was coaching. Many players have left since the Minutemen days. 32 boys will be gone next year too. I hope the team can stay intact, but it won't.

3rd grade...ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thank goodness the minutemen parents are gone. They ran DK out of town. And they are not here to ruin this team. I'm very hopeful team will go the distance. Take your negativity to your current sideline. We are just fine.

I completely agree with you! My son should up to tryouts and got a fair shot by MC and the coaches to make the team, the tryouts weren't fixed in anyway! Our interaction with coach has been great, guy even took the time out to call my wife and I on a Sunday, after a tournament to speak to us! He called looking to see what is the best way to communicate with my son so he can better develop him! Yeah, sounds like a real dirt bag to me!
Hate to break it to you but the parent who drove DK out is back on express. Get your facts straight. Most of the minuteemen parents loved him. MC listened to this parent too much. $$ talks. Good luck this year when the summer rolls around. Thats when it gets wild over there

hate to break it to you that he's been a model citizen without the others. I'm sure DK would weigh in differently.

so it should be pretty wild over at united this summer .
Smash igloo express all come to Maryland and go home with loses. Not so strong island.
Here is my perspective. There are at least 4 legit 2022 "A" club teams that compete at a very high level, and quite a few that are not far behind. At the end of the day, we (as parents) should try to set a decent example and show good sportsmanship. At the fields, and especially on this board where kids also take a look from time to time.
Long Island has a proud tradition of top level lacrosse. Let's cheer for the opponents too when a KID makes a great play. It's just common decency. Respect the game. Respect your opponent. Respect your coach, etc etc.

Sports teaches discipline. Let's see more of that from parents. Express, Igloo, 91, Outlaws, True Blue, Blue Fish, ICON, and so on. They are kids. Very likely the best of the bunch play with or against each other down the road. Disipate the hate. Enjoy the ride.

Express didn't go to MD, and I'm confident Smash & Igloo had kids at home playing soccer, football & hoops.

But hats off to MD. The MD Stars were fun to watch play.
The Severn Games were very competitive. There were a lot of talented players. I hope some other LI teams come down in the spring. It COULD be a lot of fun if the parents get out of the way and let the kids enjoy it.

I saw Hawks kids celebrating win. You must be counting the goal that was called back for being in the crease. 8-7 final.
Hawks best team on field today!
Smash 3rd or 4 best!
No Tie !
Were the MD boys 12 or 13 years old?
How many of the boys were 14?

The smash daddy road rage on the nj turnpike must have been epic on the way home. Hopefully nobody got hurt!
Waiting for lax to implement year of birth for teams. Currently football, hockey and for 2016-2017 soccer is going that way. This is long over do. Having an 11 year old play against a 12 and sometimes 13 year old is shameful. As a parent I would be embarrassed to allow my son to play down.

What team(s) had 13 year old ?

You're an idiot. Not such a strong speller.
Not Strong Island? You are so proud and brag to play Long Island teams to close games and maybe win a couple. That means you yourself still thinks Long Island is strong and the measuring stick to see if your team is good too. By the way Long Island is dominating every other age group even with the older years hold backs from every other state. Keep the hope alive that you will still be playing close games in the spring. My bet is on Smash, United, Express and Igloo. Four great teams from a tiny island taking on entire states with holdbacks and grade cut off dates in September when Long Island is December. Sad how easily you impress yourself.

This is a ridiculous statement. A few boys who have fall birthdays would be 12 already. In MD, you cannot start kindergarten if your birthday falls after Sept. 1. So, yes, a few kids will be 12. It's not the kid or the parents fault.
Yes. So imagine if 2021 AA Long Island tteams black ice. Icon, Express, Outlaws and 91 along with all the other 2021 teams all had the kids born sept oct and November of 2003 playing on the top 2022 long iskand teams teams. No one would have a chance against the Long Island teams. Your fall 2003 kids birthday plays 2022 on Long Island they play 2021.

Take it up with the MD State Board of Education if it is that important to you.
Haha! Let the excuses begin! MD parents and players, coaches all are in line with the rules of being a 2022 6th grade team! Because a CHILD might be possibly 1 or 2 months older means he is so much better or has more experience when he or she has been playing with the same age group their entire life!
To make a statement about every team in a state like that is CHILDISH! And your island is bigger than the distance between all 4 teams that smash played .. 2 of the teams are only 5 miles apart . And I guess 91 Maryland has stocked their team with 12 and 13 year olds.. What stupid statement. They are part of your organization .
There are rules to be followed and rosters verified with grade and age . No 13 year old can play on a 2022 team. Alot of good teams at this age group
Looking forward to Spring and Summer!
I'm sure Li has some fall 2003 kids on 2022. Let's be honest.
Does TLI still have a team in this age group? I know they lost some of their top players. Any information on them?

of course there are. The cutoff is December. All those kids are 2003. The cutoff should be September. That way everyone is 5 entering kindergarten. December makes no sense. If your child was born in the fall waiting a year to start kindergarten was a smart move. Especially for boys. This poster is confusing holdbacks with cutoff dates. Holdbacks is entirely different and usual happens in 8th grade.

An enterprising person would set the stage for an "age-documented" all-star game, with MD, PA, NJ, LI, CONNY, CNY, & MA teams (initially). Maybe 6th-9th grades. Set the cut-off dates Sep1-Aug31.

If you build it, they will come...

that's only in baseball. Wait till 8th grade. That is when it really gets out of hand.
All Aboard! Next stop, Mitchell Field! Can JS and his little Bandits rob the Express again? I say no! The 32 boys are just too big, but you never know. The Channy Express will be riding the Polar Express home if the Bandits and its little gang can pull off the heist again!

Bandits belong in 2022. Every 2023 child is sick of playing them, unless the kid plays defense or goalie.

I am sure he will, why wouldn't JS have all 3 of his boys play together again. Jr. is in 6th grade so technically he can play in the 2022 division.

You are correct. However, how does make a kid feel that is part of the regular roster. Signing on and knowing playing time will be unbalanced is one thing, but losing minutes to guest players is something that shouldn't happen. Just my opinion.
Sure jr will not be playing although I'm sure there are many boys on the express older than the phenom, having been on that team last year there are many many should be 7th graders
Just the Bandits are playing Jr will Not be suiting up So let's not speak about a child wonder if express will take the same stand ?

they wouldn't have won without him last year. Barely came out of the game. Here nor there. Express is a new team this year. Cant go by last year.
I'll speak for the Bandits kids are playing up to be challenged that's all!! Really don't think the Bandits can compete with the top 2022 teams but if they played on age and won every game handily what is being accomplished. I applaud this lets not make it more than it is it's fall ball

Truth. But it is inherently a game that does nothing for the upper class team, win or lose.

Just another point of contention that US Lacrosse needs to step in and sort out. Play on age. And if a team is "That Good", here's an idea...play ALL of the the kids, EVENLY. That's enough of a challenge.
Keep in mind that express runs this one-refs will most definitely be favoring them

Exactly. It's fall ball so why are they playing up? Play your own age group and get over yourselves. I can't stand how 91 always has a team thinks it's better than everyone else including the older age groups. Play in more competitive tournaments for your age group and then eat a piece of humble pie
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
That only happens in 91 tournaments. Last year at the fall express tournament the refs were fair as well as in the Summer. You are right in that it is always a concern when playing a team who runs the tournament but again I've only seen favoring at 91 tournaments on Long Island. However, I have noticed constantly out of state refs favor home state teams and a bias against Long island teams. As for tomorrow my son will play against express so we will see how it goes. I hope I am right and they will be fair.

Having seen the Bandits there is very little competition on grade level that's the problem Think the point for teams to play up is to find out what their Deficiencies are going into the winter as opposed to finding out mid summer when it's too late. Actually think it's the right thing w this team as they are ahead of the curve. Many top programs do this not just 91, express does it as well Humble pie for 5th graders Listen to yourself it's fun and it's fall
Happy Thanksgiving lax world

Agreed on all points!
How did the Bandits fare in the 2022 div today?
Bandits beat GC by 4
Lost to express 22 11-8 ( great game two very talented teams)
Beat Outlaws by a wide margin

Outlaws lost to express by a bunch
GC by 5/6

Express beat outlaws Bandits and GC
Lost to express 11-8. Beat GC and killed outlaws
11-6 was the score of the Express game. 91 Bandits is an excellent team.
Outlaws lost to express 16-6
Lost to GC 7-6
Lost to bandits by a lot
Let's set the record straight. Before all the outlaw bashing starts. They played with only 2 defenseman. Others never pl layed with a pole before. And only had 3 subs for the day.
Had more goalies than defenseman
Really doesn't matter but saw score posted on schedule 11-8 bandits losing to express. Watched a little bit really well played game express mids were very large and were shooters while 91 had more of a passing attack vs the larger express. Have to admit having seen little of the bandits in the past I was very impressed
Outlaws B team right?

No you didn't. We didn't post any scores because there were no tee shirts for this one. All that matters is that Express and Bandits played a very competitive game. Bandits wild do well playing against most other 2022 teams.
I had 11-7 in a very high skilled game our mids were just too big and strong some instances it was comical the size difference but I was impressed of the grit of the younger squad Really well run tournament and refreshing to see in the 91 express game the mutual respect between players, coaches and parents across the board

Look bottom line - the Outlaws had 3 subs today. And before today - had crushed BANDITS both times they had played them. Give credit the ball movement that the bandits had today.. good for them.
The bandits have never lost to the outlaws on age or up beat Outlaws 22 in fall last year by a healthy margin and didn't play in summer. Yes today was lopsided but it's only fall ball the outlaws will improve and Bandits will play on age so it really doesn't matter

The score was 11 to 2, or 111 to 6 I wasn't even there, but whatever score makes you feel better about getting a run for your money from an undersized squad of 2023's who must have scored by cheating! What jerks.

no one said cheating but you
Game was 11-7! Great skills , clean game our boys outsized the Bandits. Can not see how the Banduts have any competition on grade level. Extraordinary talent. Overall nice fall finale for express

I hear they hide extra balls in their socks and throw them past the goalie when no one is looking. I"vet been told they practice witchcraft too! Even worse, these boys never eat their vegetables!

I give those Bandits a ton of credit after watching our boys play them. The lax IQ for such young kids is what sets them apart in my opinion. They never stop communicating and are never standing still.
Enough with the 91 parents dropping posts on here about how great their team is. This is a 2022 thread. Who the [lacrosse] cares about the bandits? Play in your own age group-sucks for you that there is no competition there but that's your problem not ours.
Now fall is complete what is the breakdown or ranking going into the spring

Remember the guy/girl who wouldn't shut up until you just ignored him/her as a kid? That's what needs to be done here.

Based on the fall, the top 3 LI teams are Smash, Express and Igloo. And it's clear those teams can all beat one another. This is an eye test and haven't seen United as they played out of state all fall.

Being that this Bandits team plays up so much, i think it's fine for them to post on this thread. I've seen a lot of Team 91 lacrosse over the years and this team was impressive. They move the ball incredibly well and have tremendous fundamentals and lax IQs. No dominant players like the crush, total team effort. Hats off to those boys, pretty small too and they hold their own and are fearless.
Couple of small kids but don't kid yourself, there are a few with 2004 birthdays. So maybe they do deserve to be on the 2022 thread. Just sayin.

Bandits suck. Overrated.
How did LIE North 2022 do yesterday?
Don't think that Igloo has ever beaten Smash. Regardless of where United chose play this Fall, it is definitely amongst the top LI teams.

1). Smash/United
2). Express
3). Igloo
4). Outlaws
5). The rest of the pack tied
Probably 4-5 teams between igloo and outlaws including bandits, GC, CSH, Northporf, Team LI, house of pain amongst others.

Pardon me, but Bandits don't have a ranking here. It's a 2022 thread. And GC, CSH, Northport are still behind 32 until proven otherwise.

TLI is unranked based on not playing anyone. HOP not in the conversation.

Bandits just beat outlaws so they have ranking, maybe all those town teams are behind 32 so then there are 5-6 town teams that are better than outlaws. TLI, Legacy, fl$ all better than outlaws and let's see how Igloo B matches up come Spring. Point being outlaws is not 4 on he list but closer to 10th.

Correct, based on the fall and teams that played each other, Smash even with the loss is the top LI team. followed closely by The Express and Igloo. Outlaws and fl$ are the next two.

ok. You said it. Feel better?


1). Smash/United
2). Express
3). Igloo
4). Outlaws
5). The rest of the pack tied


your dueling number 1's are old news. One has been beaten and the other is hiding. Save your ranking. Its a little outdated.


Correct, based on the fall and teams that played each other, Smash even with the loss is the top LI team. followed closely by The Express and Igloo. Outlaws and fl$ are the next two.



a loss doesn't equate to even.

Express is now the clear #1 with the infusion of the Manhasset 32 boys. Smash/United/Igloo are a close second. Not sure how the Outlaws are that high. They lost to the Bandits and the GC34 town team on Friday.
Didn't Smash beat your clear #1 by 10+ goals a few weeks back?

Can you name a box tournament (south of the Canadian border) that occurred in September, October or November? Enlighten us!
Express parents have one sided views on all this. Since they beat smash and igloo they are the best. BUT what about when smash destroyed you this fall? Or when igloo beat you? Why aren't they the clear #1? Typical express, they're all pompous from the head of the snake (MC) on down. Plus I seem to remember this same nonsense being said last year by express. That worked out just fine too. They're a one dimensional team that will lose steam in the summer when it really matters.
Too much kool-aid in plandome.

this was in response to the ranking a few threads up. Smash and united are the pompous ones. Smash igloo express united are the top teams. No order is necessary. Its the express haters who jump all over any ranking of express. Lets face it. Its a whole new ballgame. Good luck to all.

so is that the criteria? united didn't beat you by that much and they claimed the title at the end of last year. to each his own.
This is fun, the whoo who beat who...I like express, smash, United and Igloo as the top 4 teams with nobody close. I like the towns teams after that including GC, 32, northport, CSH, Port and a few others. In that mix I like fl$ and outlaws. I have never seen Icon, Legacy, Team LI or Igloo B but bet they will all compete with the town teams and fl$ and outlaws. No question in my mind the top 4 teams are playing at a level well beyond what other teams this age on LI are playing. Not even close.

My son is on one of those top 4 teams and I have to say that Outlaws isn't far behind. Their top players can make any of those other top 4 teams, so we all better hope they stay with Outlaws or your son could be competing with them for a starting or roster position!

What obsession? Just saw some the their games and they were so one sided. Don't be so sensitive
I saw one of the games and they had a short stick on Defense and had two subs so i think they were very short on players. Don't know why they even came.

This stuff has to stop. As a group we need to be a little better than this
How does the tryout/team selection process work for 91? I'm curious because for most organizations that have more than one team in an age group, the top team ends up being significantly stronger than the second team. However, with 91 it seems like Smash and United are not much different. Doesn't seem like it could be an A/B selection process.

That is really just unique to the 2022 year. Not the case in any of the other grades.

That is a pathetic comment. There is no place for such sentiments, on this forum and in life. These are kids/youth sports that we are talking about. Let's refrain from such negative and insulting statements. If not already, very soon, these boys will be looking at these exchanges and some are quite offensive.

better coach junior to have a thick skin....especially on the net.
Whose kids look on here? Some of you people actually show these things to your kids or let them look at this website? And they actually even know about this website? That's really crazy. The kids don't need to know what's being said on here. It's bad enough that it's being said at all – why tell the kids?

what are you talking about?
Smash/United
Express/Igloo
fl$
Igloo B/Legacy/TLI/Outlaws/ICON//TB/Blue Fish, etc

Some of the better town teams mix in the top five overall teams, occasionally.

There really is some great talent in the 2022 grade.
If 91 parents are so nuts about being considered the "top" team, why not take Smash and United and put the top half of each on a 91 AAAA team ?
Because those 2 coaches are even bigger egomaniacs than the parents of 91. Although if they did that they would never lose a game.

smash is no longer on top and united is in hiding.
A merger of the two teams would not likely produce a superior team. Both are well-balanced and well-coached. Both have great players and have team chemistry.

I still consider Smash the best team. But what difference does it make. I still believe these 4 teams can all beat one another. The fall, not results from last, has shown that clear enough.
Has Igloo ever beat Smash or United?
more important than whether or not any team has "ever beaten another" , you need to think about how many times the two teams have played each other which is pretty hard to do when a team is in hiding or playing in another age bracket. more than just "ever beating" another team...

I agree with this except for the last two teams, never seen Bluefish but TB is nowhere near any of the those other teams. they lost to the Hitmen and just got by an average town team, they only beat outlaws silver by 2 goals. There are 4 teams on top and about 3 or 4 after that can be a legit High B team (TLI, Legacy, fl$ & Outlaws Select) But you are right, there is plenty of talent at this age group. Should be a good spring/ summer

91 Dad, I am NOT of Igloo and I couldn't agree more. Many of us feel the same way.
Have a happy day
Smash and United are AA

Express, Igloo, Outlaws and fl$ Are A to B plus.

This is absurd, Express beat Smash by 3 and rolled through the fall
Express is at the top of the discussion in 2022. After our boys playing the Bandits and smash I am not so sure Smash is better than the Bandits But IMO express is a top 2

It's a long winter, and kids this age typically make great strides over a 6-8 month period, physically as well as emotionally.

I would say the Top 3 (Smash/United/Express) is a toss-up, it's anyone's game. And clearly, Igloo is right in the mix.

Should be fun competition to watch.

You Express parents are delusional. I guess MC has you thinking your the best. We should actually get all these teams at the same tournament in the spring/summer and see what happens. You won't roll over anyone. just stop please.
Any top notch lacrosse clubs (A-AA for middle school age) in or around Harford County, Maryland?
I guess express parents also forgot they lost to igloo this fall also.

we should. The problem is some teams won't show up. Its nice to see the teams are leveling out. 4 top teams make it competitive with others picking up the pace behind. This all started from smash/united claiming top billing slated together like they are a married couple or something. At least express igloo and smash played each other this fall. United still getting their ducks in a row I guess. Just play already. Top billing is going to be interchangeable. Better get used to it.
yes,competitive is better for all to improve skills

Smash, Igloo, Express, fl$ and the Outlaws all played local events as part of their fall schedule. What should be stopped. And if you watched any of these teams compete this fall, which I suspect you did not. You would know that the top 3 can all play with one another and the next two are very competitive teams.

When did this year's Express A team get beat by 10+ goals? I know they lost the finals of the Blatant Fall tourney to Igloo by a goal after beating Igloo by a goal in pool play. If you're bringing up scores from last summer, haven't most teams had a decent amount of turnover since then? I mean the almighty Smash only beat fl$ by 7 this year after the fl$ upgrades.

When did this year's Express A team get beat by 10+ goals? I know they lost the finals of the Blatant Fall tourney to Igloo by a goal after beating Igloo by a goal in pool play. If you're bringing up scores from last summer, haven't most teams had a decent amount of turnover since then? I mean the almighty Smash only beat fl$ by 7 this year after the fl$ upgrades.


Columbus Day weekend I think. Express got smoked by Smash in the opening game, by 10 or 11. Bounced back to beat Smash in championship game by 3 or 4.
Top tier of LI 2022 is great lacrosse to watch.
In reference to Express - Igloo, subsequent to the Blatant tournament exchange, Express beat Igloo by 7 goals in a Maryland tournament.

Who cares, get over it?! That was fall ball. Winter is here, Spring around the corner. Summer will be fun.

Fall rankings mean little. United never came out of their hole, Smash, Express & Igloo all traded wins and losses.

The rest of the pack...who knows?

Enjoy hockey, hoops and wrestling seasons.
Blue Fish a B team? C- more like it. True Blue not such a great team more like a C team. Igloo B, I mean A cough cough is a B, Hitmen a B and Outlaws A I mean B cough cough is a C Team. Ok that's it for the Saturday night wrap up.

That's the sad thing, on a Saturday night you are on back of the cage ranking teams lmao. Get a life. Your family must really like it when they ask to hang out with you and you say guys I can't I am really busy trying to rank 11 year old boys or your friends want you and your wife to go out but you say I am busy. I guess you have no friends and your wife is so fed up with you because you have no time for her since you care about 6th grade lacrosse on a Saturday night that she is out with her girlfriends ( Cough,cough) You think her boyfriend is talking about lacrosee on a Saturday nigh while they are togeher? I don't think so. It's a shame but I sure hope you enjoyed your Saturday night because I am sure your wife did. Merry Christmas.
My son plays on a NJ town team (Flemington) that beat both Legacy teams at a tournament in Bridgewater last year.

Some of the better town teams mix in the top five overall teams, occasionally.

There really is some great talent in the 2022 grade.

Almost true..... Igloo B can be a good team seen them twice in the fall. They can be one of the top B teams. Hitmen have some good players but not enough. Bench isn't deep. If they pick up some good players from other B teams or from the back of the bench of A teams. Then can be a factor next year on the 2nd tier of teams. That have good coaching. The rest of those teams parents are wasting money on. None of them have strong coaching True Blue has some good coaches in their organization. But not at this age. Same with bluefish.
Is everyone responding about the class and depth of sixth grade lacrosse? It is sixth grade lacrosse. I guess for those of us who have been through club lacrosse through recruitment with older kids could see how ridiculous this is. If this is your first go around with your kids in club lacrosse, do yourself a favor and step it back a few notches. This journey of lacrosse through HS and college recruiting will way too much for you to handle if sixth grade lacrosse has you responding to what team is worthy of be called an A team with the deepest bench. Enjoy them while they are sixth graders, it gets real muddy in a few years.

when did colleges start recruiting in ninth grade. Its ridiculous. So sixth grade becomes what ninth grade used to be. Kids are going to burn out a lot faster this way. What geniuses thought this was a good idea.
anyone doing Santa Jamboree or Santa Jam?

Please tell that Express dad that he is embarrassing the rest of us. Just let the boys play and we'll see how the chips fall. By the way, isn't the team "the boys team" ? Be a good dad and shut up already. Cheer from the sideline and show respect for ALL the players, Express players and their opponents.

what party? Express was in Philadelphia yesterday.
Typical express paeents. We will hear this all winter. Then summer rolls around, they start losing to the big boys, and the dissention starts. Every year. Same act. Do these parents not remember losing to igloo and smash this fall? Or do they only remember those wins.

You were good until the "so I can show you who the loser really is" comment. Once you go all playground on them , it's hard to take you seriously.
I'm sure this lax Dad never had it when he was young, now trying to capture it in an over 40 indoor holiday muscle pull fest... good lord. seek help "show who the real loser is"; Thank you, you have. I'm guessing Franklin Square guy or Wantagh?

That tournament is for 2025-2020. You're not being truthful. Admit you were taking it too seriously and all will be right.

Funny how all you "Lax Dads" have so much bashing to do on this site as you are living vicariously through your children, but I would bet my life that 50-75% of you have never played in a lax game in your entire lives...
Bashing an adult for playing a sport!!! What's next. Atleast they have the balls to atleast to play, so then when they are giving there kids the lax lesson speech on the way to a game they can atleast can say I've done that technique and it works!!!!
There's food for thought!!!!

Here's food for thought.... learn spell check!
Do u know why lacrosse is going to fade away soon ? Because of you crazy parents. And that goes for every age and thread. Your kids listen to you and see how addicted you all are and it's going to effect how much they really want to play. Let's get a grip. 30 years ago did parents act like this ??

social media especially anonymous social media is toxic. Dont take it so seriously. You don't have to even go on this site if you don't want to. No one would talk this way in person unless they've had one too many.
Great response.... Spell check.

why is it when someone doesn't have a comeback on here they resort to you forgot to spell check. Very lame. Some people are just playing around and trying to be funny. Again you need to lighten up.
Because if you are not as witty, or your kid is not as old or good as some of the others , you can almost guarantee you are smarter than a poster on here. Grammar and spelling are easy targets! And you said it best. "TRYING to be funny".
All I want to know is this english class or a blog. I didn't know you had to be so formal and make sure we check our spelling on every word. Its ridiculous. It's a blog to talk about lacrosse, not an essay contest.
Don't be stupid, you moron!

Nice. Go all the way to Fla to beat up start up programs from the south. Waste of $$$$
Bandits going to Florida a 2022 team? Are the bandits team 91 top team at this age ? Igloo?
Top 2023 team
Bandits will bring some special guests as their real 2023 team couldn't come within 20 goals of igloo 2022.

Wanna bet? Loser.
Please don't buy into this an igloo parent wouldn't start that! Bandits gave express 2022 a great game and that team beat our igloo boys a few times. It'll be fun Good luck to all it's clearly someone trying to start nonsense on Christmas Day which is really another story Merry Christmas all!
Let's be real it's around 90% of the people on this site that haven't stepped foot on the lacrosse field
There is no way this is a Igloo parent who said this. Please this is someone trying to start something and it is all to easy to do so. No adult person with any class would write a statement like this. This is someone from another organization, outside parents or coach; but not a Igloo parent. Both teams should have a great time down there and that is it. Good luck.

Palm beach revolution 2022 also very good.

No reason for the 2023 team 91 bandits not to add 2022 smash or united kids if they meet age reqs.

National champ games good idea, but won't have best teams if in Florida, Indiana, or Colorado. Need to be in northeast somewhere.
Have Diamondbacks and Igloo played against each other in the last year? If so, what were the results?
Igloo played palm beach and beat them in Maryland last year.
From this past summer
Palm Beach Revolution 9 - Igloo 1
Arden Diamondbacks 7 - Palm Beach Revolution 1
Arden Diamondbacks 10 - Igloo 3

Wow....if that's the case LI teams are in trouble.
Igloo a top team at 2022.

The problem is that any of the grade eligible 2022 guests will never be age eligible for U based tournament.
Looking at the age cut off LI teams could be in a ton of trouble Big age gap
Will Smash, United and Express be there? Those who have played the top five Long Island teams would say those are the top three on Long Island teams.

Age cut off makes the disparity very large Hopefully the Long Island teams bring some beef or they will outsized

Looked like they were 2024. Mixed team as were most of the teams yesterday Only saw a few minutes of 1 game when our kids were waiting to get on the field. Looked like a lot of igloo helmets out there.
2024 mostly Igloo kids I think. Was waiting as well and saw some of them, did not see 20 posted anywhere though. Amazing that these little 10 year olds can move it around that well. Fun sport.
Not one igloo kid on the team. Mostly sachem kids, dukes and outlaws. 3-4 2024 kids, the rest were 2022.

If they were 2022 they were playing down in the 4 th grade division seems wrong. 2022 played in the 6th &7th grade division Our kids were 5 & 6 grade played with 6 &!7 grade. .
The 2024 Santa Little Elves team was all just that. 2024 fourth graders. All igloo except one kid. Think we are mixing up teams here.

They played 2022 division and put up 21, 16 and 12. They won championship with at least 16 goals.

They did not play down

Makes sense. The syosset schedule had them listed as angry elves not little. It's a mistakes. They were a lot elves playing and winning. All is good. Happy New Year!!!
They played B teams. Whatever. Nothing to even mention.

Going as expected so far. Diamondbacks, Igloo, T91, and PBR are all 3-0.

And as suspected bandits brought down some friends
Diamondbacks over Igloo 6-5 in OT at [lacrosse]'s.
What a great game; hard fought and clean. Terrific effort by both teams

yes
Jr is proper age
Really? How old is JR.?
What grade is he and what grade should he be? Truthfully so this debate can end once and for all.
Our coach knows JS and family personally. The boy is 100% legal. If he was a 2021 he would of been a very very young one evident by him eligible for this so this isn't a MD type situation. JS to end speculation had birth certificate w him as well as proof. So yes this should end this once and for all as you say. Kids incredibly talented and a nice boy. Enjoy the day and a happy new year!!

I'm sure the crabs boys that played js at beach lax were nice boys too. (Just held back nice boys like jr.) Tough to complain then but use it when it helps you out.
I saw this posted on the 2024 page. From the USA Lacrosse website. Has it always been a 8/31 cutoff? What was Dicks?

"Pardon as I am sure this has been covered before. Has it always been a Aug 31 cutoff for age based tournaments? Thanks


U12:

All players must be 11 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition.
U11:

All players must be 10 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition."

Thanks

Point isn't the AGE. Point is that he is NOT on the Bandits; he is on Crush, which is a different (8th grade) team. The most important lesson for any of these kids is that you win as a team or lose as a team; full stop. To bring in a kid who plays on an 8th grade club team, no matter how nice he is, is disingenuous. It may or may not matter, but that is beside the point. He is a ringer, and not a member of 91 bandits, and it is what it is With that said, good luck to all the teams and let's enjoy the rest of the tournament.

Below is age requirements at [lacrosse]'s. Seems like new norm for these big events is extend cut-off to june 1 to accommodate grade teams. At least there is a cap on age.


In the youth divisions (15U, 13U, 11U), the age cutoffs are as follows:
11U: all players must have been born on or after 6/1/2003
13U: all players must have been born between 6/1/2001 and 9/30/2003
15U: all players must have been born between 6/1/1999 and 9/30/2001
come on this sounds so silly the original point was is he legal the answer is yes! If you need to know he practices with our boys as well! Bottom line is Boy is legal fact that he plays way up on another team shouldn't be held against a kid. Regardless legal Move on. Tournament and weather are great Have a great new year
DELETED

I am watching you, you sick idiot!
I'm sure the kid is a great kid. And maybe he is technically of age and practices with the bandits once in a while. That doesn't change the fact that HE IS NOT A MEMBER OF THAT TEAM. but yes this is silly because the brackets are set and the boys are having a great time. May the best "team" win.
A full 2022 LI travel team should beat a 2023 team regardless of one player! All this is incredible as a dad If I had an opportunity I would love my boys to play together. Sounds like the kid practices w the team and is legal age Sounds like the development of excuses which is sad it's youth lacrosse

Wow June 1. as a cut off. The U13 level coul dhave had My 2019 and a good portion of his friends play. They could have made a team and destroyed the competition. It would have been a waste of time. Something has got to be done.

Ridiculous, this is not for the betterment of the sport. this is not sportsmanship.
Doesnt make sense to me. Assuming 11U is 6/1/2003 to 9/30 2005.
I tend to disagree with your ringer statement !
He practices and plays on the Bandits as well. Yes Bandits play up on the 6th grade level , in which he is in 6th grade, his age cut off requirement is legit, he plays on Crush , and is now practicing with 91 Blaze. If anyone knows anything about the Spallina family you will know they play up as much as they can , to be challenged at any level to make their teams better .
The excuses the kids a nice boy is irrelevant , there's no explanation on this topic and should there never have to be one ! , he is playing on 3 teams that will flow off one by one and he will end his HS travel career with his two brothers on the Bandits.
This kid will not miss a heart beat of playing high caliber Lacrosse , not a void what so ever.
So people stop hating because all the bickering will not change what this kid has and will become !
I love it when people make the excuses that they would never run their kid around this much , or I would never have my kid play down like that on a team that plays up .
Moral of the story chances are your kid isn't at that caliber and never will be , move along , and make a new years resolution to worry about your own kid and where he will be 6 years from now !

To bring in a kid who plays on an 8th grade club team, no matter how nice he is, is disingenuous. It may or may not matter, but that is beside the point. He is a ringer, and not a member of 91 bandits, and it is what it is With that said, good luck to all the teams and let's enjoy the rest of the tournament.
I think this is ridiculous. If the player can play up and do well, what the heck is the big deal? I am quite sure that some of the players couldn't make it over the holiday AND what is wrong with the coaches seeing if the kid can play with the team?

I think this guy is just worried about his own kid.

My son ALWAYS played up and was one of the best goalies out there in any age group.
I think what people don't know is that he has played up since 2nd grade , so automatically there's the assumption he is older , or maybe its just unfair because he has the experience over other kids makes people envy with jelousy and uneasy with him plaYing actual grade appropriate . Most of these post are from "grown up " adults who cringe when this kid is opposing their sons team.

This whole discussion is dumb. This is a average tournament with a few pretty good teams and mostly beginner teams from non-lacrosse areas. Enjoy your holidays and stop getting all crazy about 11 year old lacrosse.
besides the bandits those are the only two other teams with talent at that tournament

He's been 12 since june
Bandits scored 59 goals in bracket play. Will be interesting to see how Igloo's zone offense does.
Zone defense
Heard of this forum at dicks. Interesting to read the comments going back a bit. Some good insights if Ü can stomach the vitriol. Nothing to add except that several MD teams (Hawks, Crabs) and a few more NY teams (smash, expres?) should be included in a true national championship, at least from what we've seen in the last year or so. Tomorrow should be fun regardless. Good luck all.
I have had enough of deleting all of this pure crap being posted about a kid. Are you people that stupid? Hate anyone you like but leave the children out of it. Knock it off now!!!
If tournament rules allow teams to bring whatever players they want, in age compliance, then there is nothing wrong with it. Bandits are playing by the rules. The 2023 Bandit players are extremely talented. Good luck tomorrow to all four teams in semi-finals. It should be a very high level of play and good competition.
Does the Bandits team have any other special guests playing?

So now you want to bring other "children" into the conversation.

I have an idea. Sign your name and give us your kids name!!! Sounds fair to me, no?

Extremely talented is probably not giving them enough credit. But the second you bring in a kid who is not a 2023, you need to stop referring to them as a 2023 team. Call them a Dicks U-11 team or whatever, but don't call them a 2023 team when they have someone who isn't in that grade playing for them. Call them one of the top teams at whatever the right characterization is, but it isn't 2023 this week.

And they very well might take the title tomorrow.

Who cares!!! They are following the rules. Stop the hate. Every tournament has their own rules. There is no governing body to set rules for all clubs. Until there is (which will never happen) clubs can do what they want. It's their business if they feel this is good for it then so be it. If you don't like it that's your choice but they are following the rules.

If any of your kids were asked to play with them this week, most of you would have jumped at it.
Express 22 and igloo 22 played a few one goal games a win for each team which makes teams comparable or even. Express beat the bandits a few weeks ago 11-6 so can any one player be a five/ six goal difference? Our boys having competed against both Igloo doesn't have any excuses and regardless should win.
10-6 igloo

This tournament isn't anywhere close to a national championship and everyone who knows the top teams at 2022 knows that.
Express beat Igloo 10-3 a few weeks later, after they exchanged 1 goal games at a tournament.

Don't be so sure. Bandits with a guest player or two could win the game and the tournament.
No excuses for Igloo today Must win. If they are what they claim one player shouldn't prevent them beating otherwise a 2023 albeit a good one. Get the feel they may be pumping up the other bandit as an out. Igloo is better
Umm, the subject matter that all participants are referring to is about are kids playing lacrosse. You and Larry should grab a cup of coffee together.

Simple question - how many guest players does Bandits have?

I only grab cups of coffee with those that contribute to my wallet. I am having lots of coffee at this point. I don't need an affair, my husband would not like it.

Final score igloo 6 crush 3
Bye Bye Bandits
6-3 Igloo
Great game two very talented teams! Some great lacrosse igloo on top 6-3 Bandits actually had much of the better chances to be honest our goalie was excellent. congrats boys on to the Championship!
Awesome game and skill level very even game kudos to the Bandits proud of our igloo boys Arden at 3 pm
I don't understand why smash doesn't go to the tournament and bandits take their place?

Smash has seen better days, their time has come. Bandits would clearly beat the Smush.
Igloo 9 - Diamond Backs 3. Nice win for Igloo and Long Island

Having competed with both these teams I agree with that Bandits are a better lacrosse team than Smash!
So excited for our Igloo boys ! Great job!
Igloo dominated Diamondbacks today
Played even match yesterday that Arden won in OT
Diamondbacks beat igloo up last summer
Nice games
Nice atmosphere
No BS

Funny how you are putting down a team that wasn't there. Why not leave Smash out of and wait to settle who is better on the field! Be happy you won, and that LI has competitive lacrosse teams. Wierd thing is that you travel to Florida to proove that!
Great championship game but even greater class exhibited by the Diamondbacks, Bandits, Revolution, and Igloo. Parents, coaches, kids...that is the way the game should be played and what a great effort by all organizations.

This forum gets real bitter at times. Today is a day to celebrate the game of lacrosse. Kudos to all those who participated and looking forward to the spring season.
Congrats to Igloo. Well deserved better team today. See guys again this summer
I asked the question. I'm not an igloo parent. I actually think smash is better and they are getting a raw deal. It looks like daddy ball to me.
Please stop. Not a Smash parent but they would destroy Bandits as they should being older. Enough with the hype

Stop with the nonsense. Smash Express United Igloo (in that order) are the best 2022 teams. Bandits is the best 2023 team and can compete with but not beat these top 2022 teams.
On age Bandits don't lose. That team will win many championships over the years.
It is just another tournament and based on the scores in the bracket play, clearly there were various levels of teams that participated. I can't speak for the man, but every team makes its own decisions based in the judgement of the respective coaches. Maybe Bandits wanted both a challenge and a winter vacation in the sun. Don't overthink things.

Really? That's funny
Nice win way to represent LI. Enjoy! 2022 is a very exciting group. Spring & Summer should be fun. No reason to leave the island except for fun on the beach in OC.
I am an igloo parent (full disclosure) and couldn't be prouder of all the kids from all the teams. Bandits. Diamondbacks. Revolution. Arctic Blast. It's easy to win with class. Much tougher to keep your composure and sportsmanship in a loss. I was particularly impressed w the parents and coaches of the above-mentioned teams for how they conducted themselves. These are 11- year old kids. They are all learning about lacrosse and life. Who knows and who cares who is best or who came up short. These are life lessons for the kids and couldn't or wouldn't be prouder win or lose. I will say that the diamondback parents and coaches were the epitome of class; they sought out the igloo parents to shake their hands while the kids were still crying. That is how one should act; the example one should set. Thank you Dicks. See you all in the spring.

They've never played each other. Stop starting sh$t.
Yes you are probably right and bandits parents must be thrilled that they dropped a few thousand dollars to come and watch someone else's kid play that is not even on the team ! Within the rules..yes.....Right thing to do by the players and parents...absolutely not!!!!

I am flabbergasted. Don't you have anyone that wants to be with you on New Years Eve? You are in here crying instead about a guest player. Sheese.

Actually, the Bandits best player broke his arm a few weeks ago in practice. The guest player filled in for him. Not saying he wouldn't have played with them anyway, he probably would have, but he didn't take anyone else's playing time down there.

Here's something crazy. There are other kids on that team that would have loved to step up and fill the void then. Again, just took playing time away from one or 2 kids. That's the thing that bothers me. They deserved a chance.

Did the guest player get a lot of minutes?
People enough already change the subject how teams use their players is the choice of the teams If you need to know some games he hardly played and some games he played To be honest our team was light numbers w 7 midfielders love how people on other teams try to reflect wisdom on other teams let alone a team that is tendously successful it was a great tournament and the weather was great Happy New year
Has igloo played smash or United
hello all you crazies and others, I am not a 2022 parent, I was down at [lacrosse]'s this weekend and came on here to read about 91 and Igloo because I know kids on both teams. IMHO there is no such thing as a *guest player* at a tournament like this, your team is the team you show up with. This is not a HS or college team using players from another school or PAL using kids from another town, schools and PAL have rules and rosters and using a "guest player" would be breaking a real rule. When you travel to Florida for a tournament your team is the kids that show up, FCA plays with kids that never meet until the first day of the tournament and will never play again as a team, same as Madlax National, West Coast Stars, 3D National and Sweetlax ect. I meet a kid from NC playing with a team from Canada because his dad was friends with the coach.

just my two cents
You people are nuts. Great kid great father doing great things together.

"The Kid", so we all remember, is just a kid. Insane talent as well. As a 2nd grader he was head and shoulders above his class. IIWII. Some kids are just better AND want it more. Deadly combo.
Deez nutz... 91 mini lax drones go down...see you later CSH dads...size matters, kids catch up. not even an igloo dad, but glad to see. hopefully the nonsense will now stop.
Think the goal all along w Bandits was to be challenged up not to be the best 2022 team. Yes I'm sure they are trying to win but that seems to be the purpose. Yes "the kid" played in FL and I'm sure made a large impact but didn't play vs Express 22 in a competitive game in November. Think they would rather compete against top 2022 teams than play 2023 teams. After watching them play on different occasions can see why they would prefer up. More interesting question is can ANY 2022 teams do what they do against 2021 teams such as 2021 black ice , 91'Blaze, or express. Not necessarily beat them but compete just thought it'd be good discussion

None can beat black ice, the other two are not in the same league and are beatable.

Worry about the top three or four 2023 teams one of which just beat or played top 2022 teams to close games before you look at the top 2021 teams that have all beat the top 2020 teams except crush.

It would be a shame if united split up because they are a great team. The top two are Smash and United. These two are beatable but over many games they would prove to be the best. Express made changes so they should be in the mix maybe not top two but number three. Igloo will be in the mix too at four.

I agree it is crazy to rank 6th graders. It would be great to see tournament with 91 Smash, 91 United, Express, Igloo, Annapolis Hawks, Arden Diamondbacks and a few other true AA teams. If you had that tournament five times, good chance five different teams would win based on who wins face-offs and which goalie gets hot. That is what elite lacrosse should be at any age and how all of the kids will get better.
Why does one person keep putting United above Igloo? Where does that come from? The teams have played like 10 times with United winning once. Just wondering.

Everyone knows Smash is still on top. Teams are closing the gap. Smash wins 4 out of 5 games against any of the next top teams. This is a fact.

Igloo didn't play United "like" 10 times. Actually they only played once in the past year and I believe United won a close game. I wouldn't count when they were in 4th grade either. New team on both ends. Through common opponents I would have to say United would rank higher if that makes you happy.

Not a 91 parent, but I have always respected the coaches and kids on Smash. The Smash parents have not always carried themselves with the class their boys deserve. The boys are a very talented group. Let's enjoy the ride.
Big ups to Smash coaches and players for raising the bar on LI Lax 2022.
Smash, United, Igloo & Express all in the mix. Best thing is, all 4 teams compete at a high level inter-state.

Keep it real and spread positive.

These top teams all have excellent coaching. SL , JT, SM all D1 knowledgable guys as well is MC. Like another poster said any of these teams can win against each opponent. That's how it should be.

Igloo won the national championship by playing all 21 kids in the game like they always do. They don't roster 30 kids and decide who will play in a tournament and also do not keep players on field for 80 percent of semi-final game. All contribute to wins. True team effort.

Spoken like the parent of an igloo player who might be cut next year. Igloo like any other competitive team plays their top 12 field players 80% of the time. And the coaches know the top player, the top 3, top 10...they know the weakest players also and throughout the season they discuss this and at the end of the season they will discuss upgrading 2-4 players. A kid may get equal playing time over the course of a tournament where some games are 12-0 but in the finals or in games that count you can bet the weakest 8 kids will be riding the bench.
Who rosters 30 kids ? Cmon , let's be fair here. And in semi and finals I'm sure they played the better kids more . Which is what most teams do and should .

It really shouldn't be called the "national championship" if Smash, United or some others weren't there. Should refer to it as [lacrosse]'s.
Agree not all elite clubs played in Dicks but A) that was their choice or B) they didn't qualify and C) it is the closest thing there is to a National Championship for U-11. No matter what, it is a great showing for Long Island lacrosse (again) on a national stage.
Deez nutz... Good luck to the kids... C U later arrogant, vicariously living parents of lax drones. Congrats to Igloo.

You mean they won a tournament run by Dicks sporting goods..they made good money and helped the economy by having teams travel. That's all it was and some fools drank the Kool Aid..I did a few years ago and realized how stupid I was , you will also in a few years
United really in the same conversation as a Elite 2022 team? The same team that played 2022 B in beach lax. If you want be considered a elite team. Step up and play the best. Hats of to igloo for winning TOC.
Is Team Long Island still together?
Yes . Don't play fall or spring... Beware he are still around and will win a lot of games in low tier tournaments.
I heard they all left and went to Empire, United and some other clubs.
Not true lost a Deleted . Rest are back. Worry about when you play us and lose

Us?!?!? What position you playing buddy?
Deleted dad took his kid from deleted
He's adouchebag
Not cool, with personal attacks (adults or kids). Take it offline.
You seem to be very intense over youth lacrosse. Don't try to play and just watch the kids play.
So for the next 4 months you people are going to argue about what team is the best ? So with all the kids playing full time for about the last 4 years or so , there's only 23 top AA kids ? I don't think so. I'd say between the 4/5 top teams in any order , there's prob 60 kids that are interchangeable . Why do you people care about the club name so much ? They certainly don't care about you . Wake up people.
Your Very Wrong and out of line pinpointing a kid and or family like that!!
The [lacrosse] and more so creep is the guy who salivates out of the corner of his mouth when it comes to 6th grade lacrosse and comes on here expressing hatred towards a kid or family who maybe wants to get away from people like you ! , not saying its not like that on TLI but the fact is your a 91 parent who is bitter and just proved that your from 91 otherwise you would not list it the way you did. What is wrong with you? the kid must have made an impact to the team for you to remember him , guess the only [lacrosse] is you for causing this family to depart from 91 causing your kids team to be average now.

Who cares about the Bandits. And if they played now Outlaws would win and should.

thanks for your input, coach
Its a shame this could be a very useful forum to help promote the kids and the sport. Instead it is full of hate. Larry, you doing best you can but the only way to stop this is by stopping the anonymous posting. If people have something to say let them put their name to it. Should clean things up quick.

Just because they register does not mean that they are not anonymous. Either way, the hate will continue. Stay above the nonsense and don't feed the trolls. I will continue to keep the kids safe. Imagine that these poor kids have idiots as parents. Sad.
The 2022 boys page has become slop. And in the face of serious posters that have tried to keep it positive. I know the moderators do their best, but more can be done to weed the trolls out.

Chest pounders will always be out there, but the negative people on here need to be flushed.

There are the Long Island 4-5 (alphabetically Express A, Igloo A and 2 or 3 of the 91 teams -- depending on whether you exclude United for playing out of state or exclude Bandits for having lots of 2023 kids on the team).

MD/VA area - Annapolis Hawks, Cannons, Arden Diamondbacks, Seminole Select

Philly area - Rising Sons, Freedom Red

Canada - ELEV8 Rising Black, HardCor U13, Evolve Elite 2022

Others (again, no particular order) - True State Black U13, ADVNC National 2022, Palm Beach Revolution Elite 2022, Madlax Capital 2022, C2C Atlanta 2022, Texas Mustangs

Thank you quint kessenich for your analysis. I see you are another 91 hater. No mention of Smash by name but did manage to bash United for playing out of state in the fall . Funny

Not a 91 hater - but United didn't play as tough a schedule of opponents this fall as Smash or Bandits. And the reason I didn't mention Smash by name is because there's no doubt that they are in that top four or five. Once United plays (and beats) more of the same common opponents at the top of the table I'm sure there won't be any doubt that they are at the top too. It was an attempt to stop the trolls (like yourself) from making the "out of state" argument to dismiss United so there could actually be some real discussion on here for once.

real discussion. That's funny. Just more of our team is the best. Get some perspective and then we'll talk. United left themselves open to criticism. You can thank your coach who stood on sidelines scouting teams and saying he can beat the team. Maybe so but really?

holding back is a cheap way to gain advantage. Peer pressure is hard enough without having that label.

Any updates on what spring and summer tournaments will be attended this year by the different teams?
I heard the 2022 Outlaw coach quit. Any truth to that?
[quote=Anonymous]I heard the 2022 Outlaw coach quit. Any truth to that?

No
Which Outlaw coach, Select or Black?
Can someone explain why the 91 Bandits and Igloo B (I mean A) play in the B brackets? I do realize self esteem for all players is their goal, but beating up on true B teams really doesn't make you great. I would like to see both of these teams play in the A or select brackets against established talent instead of winning the B bracket tourneys and bragging you're a tournament champs. We B teams know you good so please move up to the A brackets and play, as that is what you claim to be. Thank you.

no. He is saying stop going for the cheap win.


So playing up in B isn't good enough?
Isn't B
really is it playing up? I think not more like age appropiate for those who see playing time
Such jealousy! Those kids laugh at people like you, especially after giving out the appropriate beating.
sounds like you hit a nerve
Quick beating? I think the guy is asking what several may be thinking. You beat your chest that you are ranked nationallyv-Bandits and an A Team Igloo, so why must you play in B tournaments? Just curious.
So they can call themselves tourney champs. Too Damn scared to play Express,Outlaws, Smash, United and The REAL Igloo A teams. Do us all the favor and play up in A Bandits and Igloo.
how much of a gap is there between 2023 a (minus the bandits) and 2022 b? i guess not too much of a difference. so you would think that they would play up to 2022 a sometimes. is it really that big of a deal if they end up having to play united or smash? when you think about it it's not really a bad outcome. any of the teams just ends up showing how good they are. not really a bad outcome unless it turned ugly as far as bad sportsmanship or yapping parents.
Your asking them to play the best of the best where every kid is older/bigger/stronger. And even with the jerks who say they (bandits) are older anyway, those same guys say those top 2022 teams are also all older.

No skin in this game, but I don't see why they would need to do that, nor do I think they would win against those top 5 teams. I don't think they would get blown out, though.
What igloo team are you talking about ? The original 2022 has played all the team s mentioned and has played up in 2021 bracket at several tournys not sure we're u get your info from but it is incorrect . The other 2022 is just starting out don't think they claim to be an A team since they really haven't played any decent teams yet .
You will learn when your kids get older all this means nothing. These teams best teams will have 75 percent turnover by ninth grade. The best teams keep replacing kids with better players. Happens every year and 2022 and 2023 will not be any different.
"The kid chooses to play up two grades" "in a time where so many players reclass" . Am I missing something does someone belong in 7th grade?
We should let the kids just play and stop this crap. Remember when this thread was actually useful for information.

Agreed, let the kids play AGE APPROPRIATE! And don't brag about things that are simply not true. You can't have it both ways! Up, down, so confusing. Just play your correct age group! You can't really brag about playing up 2 grades and then play with the 5th graders, that's not right. Especially when you are supposed to be a 7th grader!
Express lost I prelims yesterday with many of their top players there. Lost big to Team 91 and then to Leading Edge. Team 91 was combo of smash, United and igloo with a few other boys.
This is still the 2022 thread correct? Who cares about 2023 teams. Bandits may be competitive, but they are a 2023 team that gets beat by most good 2022 teams. No surprise there.
To all of the 2023 parents posting on here, go pound chest back on the 2023 thread. I yawn and your posts. You'd be boring if you weren't so annoying.

Disappointing day thought they would play the 91 team better
You people are losing it !! Lacrosse night and day. IMHO , only because I've seen it happen 7/10 kids will burn out by 8th grade because of the parents obsession with their kids team, training , box , or whichever 365 day a year thing there is. Either they peak at a younger age or just lose interest. Look out !!
When do teams start spring tournaments

I agree.
Girls, pot, beer, puberty,teenage rebellion, and pure annoyance & hatred for their parents will push these 7/10 out!
These boys playing 4-5 times week all year are sharp as a tack and peaking at the wrong time!
Who was the best 2016 team 6 years ago?
Hold on a minute...you're disappointed express lost to a combo team of smash united and igloo? 3 of the top 4 teams out there. Are you serious? they should lose. And why is igloo playing with 91? Merger coming?
Igloo boys will be part of the 7 burnouts
the negativity and bitterness is astounding
wow a better Express parent!!!! who cares what you think
yes better!
Does anyone know anything about Superstars 2022 from CT/West. Every time I turn around they are making the finals of tournaments, losing to LI granted but still there. Started a box program this year as well and from results seem to be right there only losing to 91. a team worth looking into?

ahh, ok Mr Superstar. Let's get right on it and look up your team.
i don't think superstars has been that great in general last couple years , Prime Time 2022 is very good, roy colsey has changed the program around, they are offering box, and a small indoor training facility run by tommy palasak. Tommy is unbelievable with the kids, great guy, im thinking will see a huge improvement going forward
Palasek is learning from the best!
Nice try Superstars
No joke, my son told me a month ago that he is not interested in lacrosse anymore. He was the type of kid walking around with his fiddle stick all the time, I signed him up for clinics, privates and of coarse travel. I thought i was helping him but turns out that I was forcing him. He still wants to play PAL but as far as the other stuff, no go. So if you see a kid playing street/deck hockey (new love) wearing lacrosse gear and a big smile, that's him.
Dont panic he is 11 years old let him find his way. When bird is caged open the gate if he leaves never to return it was never to be. However, if the bird returns it's yours for life.

Sign him up for Spelling lessons. Looks like you've done enough damage so far.

I know so many kids/parents in the same boat, and jumping ship. Youth lacrosse just isn't fun anymore. Everyone is so uptight. If your not a starter, you are basically paying for the rest of the team to play, a doormat. If you are a starter, you'd better perform or you will be replaced by some kid who just shows up to tournaments and is not even paying. Unless of course you are either the coaches son, or have your head so far up the coaches [lacrosse], that you're coming out the mouth. Yup, keep attending all those extra "clinics" which are just practices run by someone connected, so they can charge $$$ for what you can do in your yard for free. Just not fun anymore, good for you! Funny thing is that when your kid is not under pressure anymore, he will play much better, and actually enjoy the sport!
Thanks to the two posters with the positive advice, I hope that with absence he will learn to love it again. If not so be it, as long as he is happy. As for the person suggesting spelling lessons, your negativity is not appreciate it. Check my spelling on this one, narcissistic personality. How did I do? I am sure you will let us know.
its Not "appreciate it" LOL
SMH
Not from SS, my son is 2022 playing in Westchester for another team with the name but not the quality I was expecting, that is why I was asking about them, seem to be legit when looking at tourney results from summer, fall and now box, older teams don't look like they are doing too well but 2022 looks legit

Good, clear, color. Thank you for your brevity
What tournament on the island will have all the top clubs playing in it this summer?
Unfortunately, the one everyone knows about that screwed our kids last year.

Can't wait for the details here.....
Whatever happened to losing with dignity and then putting in some extra work to win the rematch?

It's never the teams fault now if they lose. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that your team was beat by a better team, or even lost because you weren't fully prepared. Always hear excuses, refs are out to get us....tournament screwed us....other team is cheating....

Remember....every time you point your finger, there are 3 pointing back at yourself

The question was which tourney was best and the answer was suggesting Laxfest and the reference to screwing the kids was that they cancelled the second day even though it didn't rain on Sunday. They took the $ and ran as was much debated on this site.

Well said. I wonder if we will get a response.
I think that poster is referring to LI LaxFest cancelling the 2nd day of tournament last year because of weather. Apparently many people didn't think it should have been cancelled and were upset.

Cancelling a tournament for no reason and keeping the money is quite a crappy way to treat paying customers. If people go back, they deserve whatever happens this time.

They cancelled for no reason at all? Just decided we aren't playing today? Do you know for a fact the clubs were not refunded a portion of registration fee?

That all doesn't sound right

We covered this last year. The fields were a muddy mess the next day. Unplayable . If you played and your son rolled an ankle or knee because of that you people would be screaming bloody murder. Let's move on. And I think the tournament this year is NLF on Long Island

We went to the beach! We heard the games were canceled hopped in the car to take a look for ourselves. The tents were all being taken down and that poor kid in the chair taking the brunt of the out of town parents asking what the [lacrosse] was going on.

Me I was glad I got to the beach. Turned out to be one of the best days of the summer

True - but I think 91 overall has had the better of igloo the past couple of years. The diamondbacks and cannons both won quite a few MD tournaments and should be there to be complete. I would say that PBR from Florida and Freedom from Philadelphia should also be included.

Yes, at this age. Crabs easily beat FCA Blue(12-1) and Roughriders this fall.

Crabs beat Igloo last summer in a close game.

Crabs got off to a slow start last spring, but improved steadily through the summer
in overtime

My point was, someone asked why Crabs wasn't invited. Crabs hasn't played Outlaws. They did beat those 3 teams that were invited though. Also beat Hawks last Spring and Freedon PA twice last year. So not sure who is hosting this thing, but pretty sure there is some reason that Crabs wasn't invited other than that they invited better teams.
maybe crabs are dix?

I am pretty sure 91 MD is hosting and Crabs are not happy about the competition for talent in Baltimore
Crabs has added new players from last summer's team and will be very good, especially on D

Crabs is not happy? Funny that MM posted pictures of almost every yellow helmet that tried out for 91 on the website. Funny thing is, not a single kid left Crabs for 91. On the other hand, several Breakers players did not move over to 91 and some went to Crabs.
Grow up, people. And stop talking about who beat who last spring. Who cares. New year.

It's baa-aaack! That's right folks, Tripe fishing season has arrived and the tripe is running hot!
Regarding the Bandits...they will not be at that "A" 2022 Tournament, because they have to stay back and crush all the B+, B, B- and C+ 2022 teams and beat their chests as CHAMPIONS!
Go away. This was going to be a civil, informative 2022 thread. Some of us actually want to share information and find out about other teams and opportunities, not bring down kids, parents, and coaches.

What do you mean? They are in 6th grade, so not sure what the definition of a money grab is. Will the be watched by college coaches? Of course not, they are in 6th grade. Will they play against top competition at nice venues? The answer to that is yes.

What do you consider a money grab at this age?

calling something a "showcase" implies coaches. Showcase for 6th graders money grab! Not hard to follow!

First off, it's not called a showcase. Not sure where you got that. It's name is the NLF Super Summer Series Tournament. The NLF series are invitation only. Apparently your panties are in a bunch since your club wasn't invited. Obviously, there are no college coaches.

Showcase typically means that there are not playoffs and hence no champion as opposed to calling it a tournament. But, since this is actually called a tournament, I'm still not sure what your problem is with it other than your son wasn't invited.

Showcase or not. It has agreed line up of clubs. Anything with Crabs vs. 91 is worth watching.

Why is it unfortunate that your son is playing in a tournament against some of the top teams in the country? Are you holding out for the 6th grade tournaments with college coaches attending? You make no sense. All tournaments are money grabs. The term typically applies to a tournament where nothing is gained by attending.

Please enlighten us...What tournaments are more worthwhile for your 6th grader than the NLF Summer Tournament?
Let's calm down people. The poster might be referring to the NLF futures showcase that took place in Mass last summer and I'm sure will take place again. So I feel yes , it is a money grab for a "showcase " for 6th graders even if college coaches are there . They might admire the way the talent keeps getting younger but that's about it
Nxt
some of the 2022s I know are getting cheesy mustaches!
It's hysterical how some are starting to 'grow' already!

US Lacrosse Adopts New Player Segmentation Policy


US Lacrosse today announced a new player segmentation policy to ensure player safety, competitive fairness and a consistent experience for youth lacrosse. The US Lacrosse Board of Directors approved the policy in January, and it takes effect Sept. 1, 2017 (earlier adoption is encouraged).
Policy highlights include grouping players by single-age years, using Sept. 1 as the determining date for a player's age and as the first day of a 12-month playing calendar, and standardizing nomenclature that lists the age first, i.e., 12U.

Are you serious? People don't follow the current US Lacrosse model. What makes you think they will follow this one? The World Series last year changed the cut-off date so that more teams could play with their studs for better TV. This will change nothing. It's a suggestion by US Lacrosse that will never be enforced.

I disagree. Because now that it's a one year cycle it will align better. Further, if I was a tourney orginizer I would brand my event as a US Lacrosse sanctioned event. That means rosters turned in with US lax number for every player. So if you choose to play in non sanctioned events, go ahead. But don't complain here or anywhere or play in sanctioned events and this endless debate/argument can go away.
The big club's will just hold their own tournaments and they will not be US lacrosse affiliated--otherwise they would have to dismantle their teams--trust me. Don't expect any of the big, top programs to show up to ANY US Lax affiliated tournaments--they'd be lucky to have half their team eligible. I do applaud the effort to try and even the playing field though...

For the most part, the big clubs don't attend US Lacrosse affiliated tournaments now. This new "rule" will not change anything.

Some of the better town teams mix in the top five overall teams, occasionally.

There really is some great talent in the 2022 grade.



I agree with this except for the last two teams, never seen Bluefish but TB is nowhere near any of the those other teams. they lost to the Hitmen and just got by an average town team, they only beat outlaws silver by 2 goals. There are 4 teams on top and about 3 or 4 after that can be a legit High B team (TLI, Legacy, fl$ & Outlaws Select) But you are right, there is plenty of talent at this age group. Should be a good spring/ summer


This is absurd, Express beat Smash by 3 and rolled through the fall


They beat them by 3 goals the same day they lost to them by 8!!! Relax

Will teams need to get additional insurance if they aren't going to follow the US Lacrosse guidelines? How will they be covered if not through US Lacrosse?

I hope it will. I think you might see a few larger clubs adhere. And once they do they'll find other and just have play dates. Really is the same thing as a tourney minus the tshirt.

So who will attend these tourneys? By that I mean, which teams will change their rosters to adhere to this? 91? Nope. Express? Nope. Outlaws? Nah. Legacy? No way. Igloo? Definitely not! Crabs, BLC, Diamondbacks or Madlax? Never. You'll have some smaller local teams play so they don't have to play the bigger teams.
Not one kid on diamondbacks are hold backs .. This won't effect the Diamondbacks at all.

There is one kid on Smash and another on United. There's a kid on TLI u12's A team. There are others as well that play on some very good teams. Laugh all you want at the name but that was a great team that was thrown together for one travel season. To bad they couldn't stay together.

I think some of you are making it worse than the problem is. My son plays on one of the teams mentioned and our team wouldn't have a problem going to ANY US Lacrosse sanctioned event
NPYYL was age based the year before last. I don't think the majority of clubs will have any problem going back to age based teams. Crabs and FCA will be obviously be opposed.
Any scores from the Maryland games this weekend? Where are the Express parents today?

There was competition there. Team Smithtown was there and Sachem Red had a very good game. That Sachem Team should have beat them. The other Sachem team also played tough but you can clearly see Sachem Red is better than Sachem Black.
Sachem Black has one real J@ck@$$ dad. Always a comment towards a ref. Games were over and he'd complain about a bad call. Seen him in action at other events b4.14

I heard a coach from sachem was complaining about the score to the refs at the Shamrock Shootout. The guy takes it too seriously.
w/t
yea because Goals allowed got them into finals vs. Smithtown.
Syosset shootout schedule is out - Smithtown, Port, NPT and GC in the south bracket and Sy, WI, RVC, Ridgefield in the North. Championship is North against South. Talk about home-field advantage, I guess the directors really wanted Sy to make the championship - I don't think they could win one game in the south division.
Anyone have PAL schedule they can please post for Nassau PAL Boys 5th/6th?

Not necessarily. Some towns have paid coaches for their older teams to give the dads a break and remove any of the "Daddy Coaches" politics that presents itself..

I think the poster means that all of the parents scream and yell and "coach from the sidelines", as if it actually helps the kids
College coaches actually check to see if after a kid makes a mistake if he looks to the bench/coach or if he looks at his lunatic parents. Kids who look at the parents are less likely to get recruited.

Bluefish parents beware. Yeah right tierney will nethere
Yes Bluefield 2022 beware! Great head coach from Hofstra, but the other assist. coaching staff..............Yikes.

Just look at the Division and you should be able to tell. If not your average troll.
So a 2022 ems coach is asking kids on the team to pass to his son to help him score. If his son scores the coach will give the kid that assist $5.
How does a guy like this become a coach?

I agree, lot's of great game's in last years A Division. It's not good for the stronger or weaker teams to have a league like this. going to be a lot of lopsided games which is waste of everybody's time.

Yes, of course there will be some lopsided games. But that's what happens when some of the top teams rosters are 1/3 holdbacks. (We all know which teams they are by the way, it's not rocket science) Might as well have some towns play their 5g team vs non-cheating 6g teams. My guess to you sir, is that you held your son back way back when to give him that insane advantage. Now you are complaining that you are wasting you time at PAL games when you could be taking the little one to the barber for a quick shave.

Can you please tell us what teams in Nassau 6th grade has 1/3 hold backs, because I don't know of any. The good teams in this grade are the traditional good lacrosse towns.

We have played against their A team in PAL and in summer tournaments and they can play. I think they should hold their own. Maybe you are thinking of their other team. That might be a tough challenge for them. Saw them at Syosset tourney.

And what towns are those? This should be good.
No I am thinking of their select team that can't be manhasset, CSH, port and others so how can they compete with travel teams?

Kudos for them for wanting to compete against the best of the best. I wish my town team would do that. I hope they prove a lot of naysayers wrong. Let's remember they are 11 and 12 years old.

Amen brother. Go get em GC34!
How did express do down in Maryland?
Ok GC Dad/coach
Is the GC34 team run by the high school coach? Same guy involved with all that trouble that is going on. I don't think they are a top town team. Isn't the Manhasset 32 one of the better town teams. I'm pretty sure the 6th grade Manhasset which had 2 teams last year beat the GC team last year.
When did Express go to MD?

If that's true, it makes no sense. Did they play Hawks green or black? Hawks is much better this year than Bethesda or Madlax.
BLC and Madlax came to play yesterday. Both teams were both talented and well coached. Express simply got outplayed. Hawks is an excellent team. Game was evenly played.
Express missing a couple of key defenders. Did not play their best yesterday, but got beaten by two very good well coached teams.
Ouch. Express is supposed to be the best on LI or tied for best with igloo and 91 but goes to Maryland and gets smacked around? Didn't igloo beat all the top Maryland teams a month or so ago? Maybe express can't play in the physical game they play down there.
Didn't Express beat Igloo? And 91 and the best team Annapolis Hawks in MD? If u weren't sure the answer is yes to all three. Now go away troll.

FYI - Bethesda and Madlax are in MD
Maybe Maryland was too physical for express,
Any scores from Nassau A today. I beat all the games were blowouts.

Exactly. They are 12. Every team is going to lose games. The talent is too close. Igloo lost to Crabs and Hawks last summer. And Crabs lost lots of games last year. There's just just not enough difference between the teams for one team to dominate. It's just a d measuring contest for the dads.
Scores of games against BLC and Madlax? and yes, that may have been a weaker level Hawks team...
Express beat top Hawks team.

Played express early Sunday morning and had league game against 3D lacrosse @ 5 Sunday night. Epress beat Hawks no big deal. Sound like a smash parent still sore from losing to Hawks in the fall.
Agreed!

Only one Hawks 2022 team. Only 2021 and 2020 have Hawks B teams.

Right now there are about 10 2022 teams in the county that could be "the best" depending on how they play in any weekend tournament. Hawks, Bethesda, Madlax, Express, Team NineOne, Diamondbacks and Igloo are definitely on the list and they have all beaten or lost to others on the list throughout the year. I don't see a dominate team. It's a great rivalry to have!
Agreed

Correct and in no order.

Express
Smash
United
Igloo
Hawks
Maryland Stars
Diamondbacks
Madlax
Laxachusetts
Cannons
Crabs
BLC

These teams are filled with great players and led by excellant coaching. No reason to be negative or chest thump over a win.

You do realize that Maryland Stars is not a club? It was an all star team put together. And Cannons is not what they were previously. They are 0-2 this spring with losses to FCA and Roughriders(Who beat them 9-2)
Looks like the best teams in the Mid-Atlantic are Hawks and Crabs....

There is no "best team". All these teams have and will beat each other. They are 12. It's pretty rare that you would have one team heads and shoulders better than everyone else in an area with so much talent.

Let me guess, you're from LI? Exactly what team in PA do you think can beat Baltimore teams? Who in Syracuse for that matter? Is Syracuse a region? Smash did not do well in MD this fall. All these teams are pretty even. It's a pretty stupid conversation. They're 12.
If you consider DC burbs and Baltimore part of the same region (only separated by 30 minutes and many kids in between travel each way for different clubs like Crabs) it is not even close....and LI would be second.
Look at where the best High School conferences are--MIAA in Baltimore and IAC in DC....
Name one quality team crabs have beat?

And... all of these kids are three years away (well, some four.. cough cough) years away from starting high school. So, again. Stupid conversation. Don't count your chickens, folks. Some of these kids won't make the MIAA and IAC varsity teams. A lot can change in a couple of years.

Only when it comes to gaming the rules and making kids hold back so they can remain in the corrupt program. The parents are just as bad as the leader Ryan. The entire program is shameful.

Actually, the truth is that Crabs dominated more when they were age based. They did not start until U13 back then and their teams were the dominant teams in MD. There were fewer clubs then and most of the top players played for Crabs. If anything, going grade based and starting in 5th grade has made them less successful as their younger teams have not fared as well. This is because at younger ages, kids are still playing for their fathers in a lot of cases. As the kids get older, they usually gravitate to certain clubs to ensure they get looked at by colleges.

You keep trying to spin it anyway you want to make yourself feel better, but Crabs is going to be good no matter the rules.

If that is the case, then why the holdbacks? Is it a case of the parents' insecurity? I think so. So then, the club owners should say enough, the schools should say enough. Don't cave to the parents who are doing this to their kids. Because that's what's happening. Do you really think any kid wants to reclass? Imagine what a tool you would feel like repeating 8th grade. Because of sports. Embarrassing. And everyone knows you did it. It's the elephant in the room. And all your accomplishments -- every goal, every time you beat your guy... it's all tainted. Because you're older. mind boggling that someone would put their kid in this position.

Are you serious? When Crabs had tryouts, the team was built by graduation year. They took the top 23 kids in 7th grade at that point. There were many very good on age 7th graders that were cut from Crabs 2020. This was done with no regard to the kids' age because they play in a grade based league and grade based tournaments. When the WSYL came up, Crabs was asked to participate so they did. There was an age cutoff for the tournament so there were some very good kids on the 2020 team that were ineligible to play.

My point is, if Crabs had tryouts for a team with a 5/1 cutoff, a lot of those top 7th graders that were cut would have been on the team. Instead, Crabs went to WSYL without some of the top kids on their team.

It's really not that hard to understand. Not sure why the obsession with Crabs.

Ok. So how did they cheat when teams were age based? Did they pay kids to play? You people are ridiculous.
There is a lot of jealousy/bitterness towards Crabs in Baltimore/DMV--Daddys whining when their kids don't make Crabs and then see their kids lose to them when they are picked up by other clubs.
Do you think for one minute that if HOCO went age based next year Crabs would still play in it? Not a chance. They didn't play in NPYLL two years ago and low and behold it switched to grade based and look who is playing.

Their "dominance" is achieved by on thing - playing older boys against younger boys.

Crabs didn't even have grade based team until 2 years ago. Nice try though. They did just fine in NPYLL with age based teams.
Warriors are Greenwhich and Dragon are from NJ it says right on there site they are coming to this tourney.

Funny people that have no idea what they are talking about are always spouting off misinformation.

We need a site where you know who you are speaking with. It would cut out most of the senseless drivel. And people could actually speak about there thoughts but in an intelligent format.
This tourney is a joke. I could have called 3 teams to play in a round robin and play 2-3 games and pay $60 per game for refereees. $$$$ grab 4 teams per age goup and 7/8 combined...also its a vacation week for Long Island schools..waste of money
Crabs is the best club program for boys in US; M&D is best club program for girls....no surprise both are located in Baltimore....

That's because town teams are getting wise. They know that guys are going to stack their team with travel kids. Why subject your team to that? These town tournaments will be a distant memory in two years if it keeps up this way.
wow what would we do without your simple wisdom

Crabs the best club program for boys in the US, that is pure bullsh*t and you know it. The only thing they are best at is gaming the grade base system to field bigger and older teams. Nothing will ever change that program from finding ways to circumvent whatever system is in place, grade or age base. That is just how their leader operates. He is one disgusting individual.

Wrong! Wow! Trying to stir the pot huh? Get your facts straight before you spread rumors.
My son plays for the Crabs and I agree that any team that has holdbacks is going to have an advantage whether it's 3 or 13 players on the team. If you truly do not agree with grade based teams you should have the same disgust for all teams with holdbacks not just the Crabs or your point is not valid. I have seen negative statements about a pre-k holdback for academic or learning disability reasons and that must be out of ignorance. When you look at the success of the Crabs teams prior to the transition to grade based teams wouldn't you see that they had the same success or even better prior to 2013? Didn't the 2014 Crabs team that didn't lose more than a game or two in 5 yrs compete as an age based team?

You idiots are hilarious. You act like club lacrosse has only existed for the last three years. Prior to that Crabs was age based. You're the disgusting individual with your irrational obsession with RM and his program. Obviously you feel you have been wronged somehow by Ryan, but no one really cares how many times you post the same drivel over and over.
You guys are crazy. Spring Lax Jam is a good event. If you want to pay $725.00 for t shirt and play three teams.

Lol. Smithtown played an SSC team made up of the best SSC kids from North amd East. SSC separates the kids by school to form the PAL teams and for this tournament they combined the top kids. It was a great game and a shame there was a team that lost. But props to the Smithtown kids on their win.
Quick question do the Jesters have a 2022 team this year? I heard it folded .
Do you think they will get it back together next year for 2017
Why? You planning to tryout for the Jesters 2022?
what does that have to do with the question asked ? You answered a question with a question.
Agreed, great games, all teams played well and had fun competing.
Because that person is a moron that answered you and sorry welcome to social media. My son plays with one of the players from last years Jesters 2022 and they broke up. However they could start up again next year with the way new club teams appear every year. Good luck.
I happen to be a parent that is very happy on the Jesters team that my son plays on Making your choice of what team or organization you choose is up to you the parent or even up to your son or daughter (they should have a say in who they want to play for) Your experience is with the coaches that you get some great some not so great . My son has not been with the Jesters from the time he started playing We have been with other organizations and have had the exact experience I spoke about with the coaches . I hope the Jesters do put a 2022 team together with a good coach to over see the boys. Next up are the people who want to slammed the organizations because they had a bad experience Well as I stated that experience can be with any organization out there Remember it about your children

All of the games were close and very competitive. Too bad more teams didn't play.

Which Laxachusettes team is the A team at this level? Green or White?
The Koehler tournament needs one more 2022 A team. Please contact tournament director. They will accept a small donation for entry as this is a charity tournament.

According to their website, Green and White are their A teams (you would call them B) and Wiz Khalifa are their AA teams (Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow).

You did not see them play - Smash, United, Express & Igloo any given Saturday. 2022 very equal. Going to be a great season.

Yes, nice tourney. No denying. They earned it on the field. but those 4 teams are just all really good. I hope we see competitive games like that all summer.
And Smash was not in the final...just to clarify.

Who knocked them out?
Express tied them. Other 2 wins were vs C teams. 91 set up them and express spoiled it

Their tie with Express knocked them out
There was some good match ups and then not so good. There should have been a B division. Not fair to those kids to play those top teams. It doesn't make you better to lose by 15 goals. This is the precise reason (imho) why you see a lot of these "play dates".
united best team yesterday congrats to them .Express ,smash, igloo all equal going to be a great season. 2022 has a lot of talent for sure

United had a good day but they are definitely beatable.just like smash eventually was. Enjoy it whiles it lasts. Congrats to the boys.
I was surprised Outlaws Select was not there Saturday? I guess they are up to that caliber of competition!
Best 2022 team where? In New [lacrosse] maybe..surely no where else..
And you are how old ??
The how old are u was meant for the Outlaw poster
I'm 39 why do you ask ? Is this a forum on 2022 lacrosse? If they are ducking the competition someone should call them out! Your obviously a Outlaw parent or PB.

No actually a 91 parent with alittle class . I don't worry too much on other 11/12 year old kids lacrosse teams. And maybe they aren't ready yet to play some of us. Big deal. You have to come on hear and put down kids ??

You rally are an idiot! No one said anything about kids!! The bottom line is Outlaws want to say they are a top organization then you have to play the competition not duck it!!!
Oh so the organization plays in the games ? No. You look like a fool and realize it now . Maybe like I said , they don't want to put the kids in the position to play when they aren't there yet. And I don't recall hearing or seeing on their website that they are top shelf AA. Get a life and leave the kids alone.

If you talk to ANY Outlaw parent they swear that their team is the best and can hang with the best of the best. BUT when in reality they only enter out of state tournaments that they play a bunch of B teams and kill them. PATHETIC! not the kids the organization!
So it bothers you that other parents think their kids team is good ? Don't you have more important things to worry about ? Or do you need that self assurance ? Wait a few short years and tell me if it matters that your son is on the "best" team.. Because the Organization doesn't care.

Wow. Great way to speak about 11 and 12 year old boys. Pathetic.
Certainly we can talk about something else other then bashing the 12 yr old Outlaws. Are we adults here ??

It's a shame. They had the sweetest helmets.
Outlaws is a legit B team, maybe the best B team. If you get beat by town teams and/or you aren't in the top 5 A teams In a region then inherently you are a B team.
The Outlaws SELECT team is their top tier team. They are not bad.

No they are not a bad team. The point is that they duck the top long island teams. They will beat up on B teams but cant hang with the true A teams!!!

Why cant A teams lose to town teams... would it be because town teams don't exsist as they used to. Where is it written that the threshold for A teams is top 5 in a region. Some regions may only have 2/3 and others may have 6.

To me, an A team is a team that can consistently compete with another winning team. and by compete I means stay within 4 goals.

You are explaining an A team who plays down as a B team just to get wins. A "B" team who consistently wins is not a "B" team. They are an A team.

Just like even if you are the best team in your organization you may not be an "A" team. Know what you are and play so you are competitive.

Favors no one to get blown out or blow up any one

Outlaws A played four fall tournaments - three on LI. They played Express three times, Igloo A once and Bandits (another top five 2022 team) once. They played one tournament in NJ that was a qualifier for [lacrosse]'s TOC and won. Who exactly have they ducked? Smash (didn't they only play in one fall tourney and a few playdays before last weekend's vacation week tourney)? United (oh wait, they played out of state twice before last weekend's tourney). Maybe they haven't beaten Express, Smash, United or Igloo A, but it doesn't look like they're ducking anyone - in fact, they seem to have played all local "A" tournaments that aren't sponsored by N I N E T Y O N E.

If memory serves me correctly didn't Smash lose to Manhasset at the NXT cup last year. They must be a B team if your logic is true.
Yes, trending. And CSH '22. Didn't I tell you both teams had peaked? 4-5 CSH kids on Smashed. for the most part small unathletic lax drones. skilled yes, but they are what they are. Struggling in PAL thus far.

Peaked at 11 or 12 years old? Really?? What a shame...
Will see this weekend when CSH win Sachem shootout.

Sachem shootout has never been a competitive tournament. Poorly run tournament by anti travel dads
Bbp v Smithtown in the finals.
Don't now who won.
Though it was well run.
Anti travel not to sure it was run by
Mylacrosse. Isn't that owned by a travel team?

Of course not. Otherwise the CSH chest pounding dads would have already posted on here. They talk smack and never back it up.

7 games were decided by 3 goals or less. I'd say that's a pretty competitive day. Plant of travel dads at the tourney.

Problem with 11 and 12 year olds is just that. They are 11 or 12.
I have seen to many unforced errors by them. Concentration is lacking sometimes with their passing and catching. No excuse for this.
And if I have seen 1.. 11 year old I have seen 10.. 11 year olds not get up for a big game. Frankly it is totally unacceptable in my world.
When will these young men start taking the game seriously as I do? Why dont they like watching film ad nauseam like me??
I have already informed just about entire team that how do they expect to go D1 with their cavalier attitude. What really boils me up is a lost. I see no remorse or agony in their face, They seem to move on with no problem and want to know which way to the playground. At this point I am not sure what to do. My screaming, yelling, threatening doesnt seem to be working!!

I am sure he is joking - very funny
Lol, that was funny.
Leaving cantiague tonight I saw both Igloo teams playing a team LI team and an express team, not sure which was A and B but good to see team LI out playing and good for LI teams in general to have some games. Anybody have any info on the games? How was team LI? Not looking to start any nonsense just want to know how the teams look. My son is 2022 and friends with kids on express and igloo. Thanks
Ask your kid then. Amazing how times have changed. Adults concerned about 12 year old lacrosse team that aren't even his own kids. If only our parents knew about this. They would think your off your rocker. The best is when you are talking about your kids team to someone who doesn't understand this craziness nor do they care. Wonder what's going thru his head while your going on and on. Think about it.
since you have nothing to do ,show up Saturday to blantant tourney and watch the games ,gonna be some great match ups in the 2022 A division.
Is Legacy looking for players? A friend said that the A team was still looking, which is the A team Thunder or Lightning?

I think there is an outlaw B team also

Team LI is good. It was a good game. I believe Igloo won 9-4. Score was tied in 3rd than Igloo scored 3-4 goals late to pull away. Team LI has a lot of talent. They were just sloppy which is expected. Talking to one of the players dads he said that's the first game/scrimmage they played in since last July. They need to play together more. They should show their faces more at some of the local tournaments. They can compete and make this age group better than it already is. The talent level at this age group is fantastic.
Do not think Outlaws will beat any of these teams, but they will compete better than you think- I heard they are playing express tonight, Any info on that?

Speaking of getting killed, they just changed the schedule and igloo B is playing in the A divison, what a joke. They can't play within 10 goals of any A team. Did outlaws do this so the Select team can get a W?

Maybe Empire dropped out of A and Igloo filled the spot. I'm sure they didn't want to but maybe a sacrificial move to help even the brackets. So before u kill Igloo , know the facts

These 4 LI are playing each other this weekend... HOW COME the MDs don't come up here?

Always going down there. Igloo has fields. Express cant get Mitchell?
Looking at the Blatant schedule why are there A teams playing in the B division? For Example both Empire and Legacy and Hitmen all put their A teams in the B division. That is not fair to the true B teams looking to be competitive!
Empire is an A team?
Hitmen are not an A team

That's stupidist thing ever said on here. Because you are a first team in a program does not mean you are an A team. And because you are a second team does not mean you are a B team.

explain why igloo B wouldn't want to be in the A division when igloo B players and parents go around claiming to be an A team and compare themselves to United ..HAHA!!! this weekend will be a reality check might want to just sleep in 0-3
Question is are they an A team? Empire is in there second year, the 2022 team has only been together for 2 years, if even that, new coach and a lot of turn over. Some of the teams in "A" have been playing together for many years, there is a big difference. I do not think they are in B thinking they are going to roll over any team.
LI 2022 teams need to travel to DMV to play the best teams...when LI teams start winning against best of DMV those teams will head north

What's the link for the schedule? Thanks.
Hitmen 2022/23 is in Blatant not their 2022 team. Much different skill set.

So you're saying Hitmen 2022 should be in the A bracket?

Wow, you heard there are playing Express during the week. That would sound like a scrimmage.


We all know that Express will kill the Outlaws!!! I guess we will find out this weekend at the Blatant unless they duck and run!


That "scrimmage" was just horrible for both teams. For express, they're better off practicing against each other and for the Outlaws, not positive foe those kids. The Outlaws are not an "A" team and the organization needs to stop telling parents that they are! I don't see how they will win any games this weekend at Blatant!

The kids can play but not at a "A" level, they should figure it out so these kids won't have a horrible summer!

Express is the top team in 2022. Outlaws will do fine this weekend.

I read some of these comments and they are crazy. These 11/12 year olds are competitive teams. We talk about A teams and B teams. Simple Question. How many REAL A teams are there in Long Island/NJ/Connecticut/Mass, etc.? Besides 88+3 two teams, Express and Igloo, who else? Outlaws at least have the balls to play these teams, and play competitively when many other programs would duck and cover. Fact is some of the best lax gets played right here in NY and we should stop disrespecting these programs.

Very new to this but I see you all have a lot of comments .I would like to know how are the Wolfpack, E-3 and Massapequa mohawk six grade are. Anything to look out for with the kids and parents or is it a good lacrosse game . Thanks
Express just lost to Smash. United beat Igoo. Both one goal games I think. Very high grade competition. Pleasure to watch well-coached and talented teams. Any given weekend any one of those four teams could win. That's parity at the elite level which will make all those kids better. #Blantant

Express beat Smash. Igloo A beat Smash. Outlaws beat United. All close games.


And Express just beat Igloo A and Smash best Outlaws. Outlaws vs Express in the ship.

The parity with this age group is fantastic. Great for the game. Strong Island!!
Elite level? I love fathers talking about elite level in 6th grade. Get a grip!
Any given weekend Express, Smash, Igloo, United and the teams in MD that run good programs (Hawks, Diamondbacks...). All excellent programs and yes for this age group, best in breed heading into the summer. A lot will change over the next few years, of course.

Neither 91 teams in the final, both sent home packing! Express the champions!
So much for the outlaws not being able to come within 10 goals of these teams. Beat united 6-5. Lost to smash 6-3. Lost to express in championship 13-6. Express is top team in this grade. But outlaws right there with all the others. Great day of lacrosse today.

How come they beat united
United beat Igloo then fell apart. Not a good day. It happens

Outlaws were clearly the better team today. United was beat all aspects of game period! Ground ball, defense, goaltending and offense. May not happen again we will enjoy it!

How come they beat united


Because they are an equal A team just like express, united, smash, etc. Don't count the outlaws out.
I thought empire 2022 was a A team?
I was impressed with the Outlaws today. Express, Igloo, both 91 teams were a notch above. Outlaws held their own and that's a step-up for that program c/o 2022 (I am not an Outlaws dad or coach) It would be great if for once this forum could be about how great the games were and how hard the kids played.

Over-zealous parents continue to be the worst part of sixth-grade lax.
Not an outlaw parent but was impressed with outlaws also. They proved they can play with all those teams. They even beat united who before today most said was the best on LI. Its nice to now have 5 competitive teams on LI. United, smash, igloo, express and now outlaws. Wish TLI would show up. Should be a great summer with fun games. Lets enjoy. After watching yesterday express is top dog now.

They are all good. Look how close those games were. All games were a post, a call, a save, a ground ball away from potentially different results. They all top teams and deserve all the success that is ahead of them - regardless of the scores. Great job 2022 and have a great summer.

They are an A team. Like it or not they will compete against any team in their bracket .that includes smash, United, igloo .the underated programs who stay quite will be making impact soon enough .

Then why not register for the A bracket in a spring tournament ??
Kudos to igloo B for taking empire's place in A bracket. Stepped up and played the true A teams. Had a good showing too. All the while empire's "A" team played B competition and won. Igloo was better off, they would have killed those teams including empire. Better to challenge themselves. Only way to get better.
Agreed. Nice job Igloo B.
Didn't empire beat force only by one goal? Is empire supposed to be a A team? From what I heard it could have went either way.

You must be the dad that was screaming in my ear the entire game
Agreed on igloo B. My boy isn't not on that team but watched some of their games. They are well coached and have raw skills. Not a true AA yet but seem to be in the way. This is only the first or second year for that team?
They were in the a bracket and backed out, it's called sandbagging.

Solid 0 and 3!
After all the chest beating it was actually comical to watch the Smash deez nutz parents wigging out between games, "having "heart to heart" pep talks with their kids trying to figure out why they weren't winning. Looks like everyone caught up... over practicing can only keep you going for so long... Now, going forward, good luck to all the quality '22 teams out there including the deez nutz. Keep improving.

I saw that too. Must be for a reason. Maybe actually something was more important than a third game they had no shot of making a championship game. Relax people.

Smash will go 0-3 in that division.
hes getting fat too
Oh, so if they can't reach the final no point in coaching his kids? Lets hope that wasn't it dumb dad and he actually had a conflict...
Smash is done!!!!! Express and Igloo have the best players and coach by far!!! best game to watch Saturday game could have gone to either team
What order are the teams from NY in ?..Is Smash better that United?
Express-best job recruiting specialty players
United
Igloo tie w/Smash
They beat Smash Saturday
Smash is better than United despite what United parents say.

So MC is the best coach because he's your sons coach or he's got the most $$$$
KC must also be the best because he did great training and he coached the Lizards
Best players ??? How about be humble and admit that there are 4 very equal but different style teams on LI that will play a 1 or 2 goal game vs each other every time.
Hahahah. I think stat mom is suppressing her data because she knows data will tell otherwise. United may be the branch off of Smash deez nutz, and the newer team, but they are better.
Smash is done !!!! team is in panic mode and so are parents herd them all weekend crying United clearly better

How in the world are they done? They played competitive games and untied lost to outlaws. Stranger things have happened and will happen but to say they are done is ridiculous

They need to play in the circuit
Ha ha united had a bad day, almost got beat by igloo B. Now outlaws thinks they can run with the best teams on LI? What a joke. Outlaws is the top B team, no doubt but will never beat either 91 team, igloo or express nor will they beat team LI, GC, Manhasset, Port etc

.

They just did! What are you talking about?? Just beat united.
Outlaws had a good day. United had bad day , so did Smash. , Express smoked them as will the two **** teams if they play them again. Not sold on them yet. Not many skilled players. Actually some couldn't even use weak hand. A few big kids made some plays when needed . Small dirt fields take away from the better teams IMHO
Sorry Smash parents your team is not the top team any more 4 best now Outlaws right behind.
Um... they just beat united and the score was closer than the game actually was. Outlaws dominated them. And then they played smash to a tight game. They are an A team. Can hang with all them.
But express is best team on LI

Now 91 has two mediocre teams and Express is dominate!
91 plan not working.

Didn't United beat Express a few weeks ago ? And beat Igloo twice in past few weeks also ? Smash mediocre ? Really ? How old are you. I don't think any team is dominate.
These are excellent teams and they are only getting better as players develop.
Express is not the best team they are the best team this tournament all 4 of the top teams will play each other hard every tournament and there will be a deferent team every time. Sorry Outlaws u got lucky to beat UNITED 9 out of 10 times u will lose to them or any of the top teams your just not there yet u played one good team this weekend that's why u made the finals if u played Igloo or Express you lose to both and your 1 and 2 so don't put your team in that group yet after 1 win get a few more and then will see
I love this conversation. Up until this past weekend - Outlaws were not supposed to hang within 10 goals of any of the top teams. Now after beating supposedly the best team in 2022 and playing SMASH to a score of 6-3 all those top teams are panicking and making excuses as to what the heck happened. Just live with it that the kids are improving and having fun.. leave it at that.. why break them down to build yourself up.
Very true. The kids are getting older and now there are more teams. Its good for the sport to have more team than the alleged top AA teams.

what team do you manage? outlaws is a very good team. they have every right to be in A tournaments. the reason they are getting better is because they are not afraid to enter A tournaments.

I guess we will find out again this weekend! I think Outlaws lose by more than 8 this weekend! The game against United was a fluke.

Express beat them both in the last few weeks. But Express lost to United in between and Outlaws beat United... I don't think there is a "best" it's just a bunch of really good teams.

Well one thing we do know for sure is its not Smash. They haven't beaten anybody. Funny how you don't hear much chirping from that nuts group. Wish we could go back a year or two on this thread and dig up some old posts.

In box lax yes but not in the outdoor game. They wouldn't beat any of the top LI teams. trust me I was at their training facility a couple of months ago and my kid worked out there.

Express recruits top 12 year olds but does not cultivate the team. It wont stay on top in the long run if that's the MO.

Because only 14 play in tight games.
Agreed. That's from Express parent. Coaching mediocre at best. They take 25 kids. Play the best 14 but don't cultivate the other players. It's a shame.

Same thing Smash and United do... Find the bigger more advanced kids..and recruit them to come. Not about building on what you got. It's about the organization getting more wins...to win more Tshirts...to charge higher tuition and get kids to "want" to go to their training and camps... A very successful money machine.
So you think these clubs are in it for charity ? Are you new to this or just plain stupid ? It's a business. That's why they have tryouts every year. It's fair to a kid who works hard improves and has a chance to make a team.
Have you ever seen an Express practice. I'm sure 88+2 is the same. Lots of touches, fast paced and tons of coaching. Close games, the best play. It is the same for every competitive organization I have seen.

In box lax yes but not in the outdoor game. They wouldn't beat any of the top LI teams. trust me I was at their training facility a couple of months ago and my kid worked out there.

No you were not there Express daddy, but nice try.


Build what u got is what the town programs do and should be doing. Take the best and play the best is what clubs do , and for them , should be doing just that. If your not happy with your kids playing time , maybe he's just not that good. At least compared to the elite. Too many parents don't realize that.

Express recruits top 12 year olds but does not cultivate the team. It wont stay on top in the long run if that's the MO.

Same thing Smash and United do... Find the bigger more advanced kids..and recruit them to come. Not about building on what you got. It's about the organization getting more wins...to win more Tshirts...to charge higher tuition and get kids to "want" to go to their training and camps... A very successful money machine.
See the Dukes wanted no part of Express today and did not want to play in the championship game! All star my a@s! What are you scared of????
Duke's is a great program! Good day of lacrosse and an awesome lax weekend!
Which tournament ?
NCAA Future Champions tournament, Express dominated, Outlaws are back to being Outlaws. Scores can be viewed in tourney machine. Fun filled weekend!

Such a great program, why did they leave? Why wouldn't they have destroyed Express with their "all star" team!
Dukes are not a real great program. Bringing in kids last minute from smash and igloo and all over just to win a tournament then not playing express in championship.
Outlaws back to being outlaws? 6th graders playing 7/8 graders 1st game. Should lose. 2nd game lost to express 8-4(guess they didn't lose by more than 8 this time like previous poster said) in a very good game. Then lose to dukes who put a team together just for this tournament with igloo and smash players and who knows who else(that organization just calls up best players they hear of and asks them to play).used to be a philly organization, not anymore. The way I see it is outlaws are getting better every week pl laying and competing against the best. I guess you don't see it that way though. By the way, express is the BEST 2022 out there on LI. Outlaws playing them only gets them better.
Express beating Outlaws 8-4 is exactly "dominant". 12-1 is dominant. Didn't look like much competition . Dukes doesn't get better till they get older so settle down .

great program because they just take the top players from top teams. Dukes had Igloo A players and played their Igloo B team. not exactly rocket science that the team would dominate.

does it really matter? If Igloo A played Igloo B, what do you think the outcome would be. All star teams are for show.

You are full of crap. Mind your own business and worry about your own kid
wasn't a 2 day tournament ? why did express leave a day early?? afraid to get a little wet??
Then why did u pack up and leave?
some of best 2022 teams from the area will be playing next weekend will see who comes out on top . A lot of talented kids in this age group should be a great weekend , till then give it a rest and lets remember what this day is about !! Happy memorial day!!
Why didn't dukes play express yesterday? Everyone knew the weather. Tournament officials asked them to play and they said no. Stop with the 2 day tournament. Both teams were there yesterday and 1 team said yes, 1 said no. Enjoy your championship smash, I mean igloo, I mean dukes or whichever team you brought yesterday. Just remember YOU wouldn't play yesterday
I'm sure they're losing sleep. Leave it alone. Who cares. It was a pick up team of kids who went to watch the NCAA games.

Um 32, I mean Express, game was scheduled for today. YOU got up and ran for the hills
Yeah sad thing though that all the LI TEAMS have to drive to Maryland and pay for hotels to play LI TEAMS!!! Stupid if you ask me, but it's always the same old complaint.

Watch out for some MD A teams playing AA in this summers tournaments!
AA dad's may need to get their prescriptions filled.
Don't be so shallow to think Precious can't be beat!
Bring your sweet neck lanyards and matching warm-ups!
The white Reeboks or K-Swiss are classic too.
We get a kick out of your IROC style!
See you soon.....

They are from Long Island , not the 80's!! Go have some crab cake and .......and .....just crab cake. Nothing else interesting from Maryland!
Yes but those 32 kids actually play for express. Those smash and igloo and whoever else were asked to come play in this tournament.
They call anyone they hear is good. There are express kids on dukes also. Not a real team. Next time you see them it will be a whole new team. Bush league mover by a organization that used to be good.

Don't pay any attention to this idiot. Not a single A team in MD could come within 10 goals of any of the top AA teams. They are just stirring the pot.

So if kids switch teams in your local tourneys what happens when you come down to Maryland? Your all stars so back to their clubs? Not sure but can't wait to them face the elite 2022 Maryland teams. It may be tough for you, but please don't leave when it rains!

Lime green dad, go back there trolling the Maryland 2022 forum. No chance in [lacrosse] your A team does anything against AA and elite teams anywhere
United is a very good team, actually better than smash . Outlaws had a food game with United. Score was close. Express was tough team especially defense team. Outlaws is starting to come up the brackets . They are playing in higher brackets this year to give them a taste of real competition. Express dominated outlaws at scrimmage and blatant tournament . However they held their own this weekend . Kids did not play as best as could have . Mistakes made, there are some talented kids on outlaws this year , will see how they hold up. Think as the season unfolds they will get better. Some bigger new kids that show potential. Think if those kids given a chance they can get there with time . Don't leave outlaws yet out if the A bracket , may surprise you.

That's pretty comical. Maybe the parents wanted to possibly do something else for Memorial Day other then win another t-shirt, that could've been won on Saturday instead....
I don't think that's asking much, no disadvantage to the Dukes players considering we would have both been finishing a games before playing against each. Express did also play 3 other games that day.
But the coaches in the Dukes side wanted nothing to do with our request to stay and finish the day out. I guess they needed to run back to the IGLOOS and cool down and rest up for the [lacrosse] of a game they would have had against express. Sounds like a forfeit on DUKES side. Dukes team wasn't cooperative, so why should express be cooperative. If the Dukes team coaches and parents want to feel better thinking they came out on top, then hey more power to them. We say potatoes, you say pottttatoes. In the end the express players and the families left happy and got to enjoy Memorial Day doing something else.

You are an idiot. Game was scheduled Monday. 3 Sunday , one Monday. Not a surprise. Express tried to play Sunday , because they felt like it? They left. They didn't play the Monday game. Dukes are champions. You can't put a spin on this. These are facts. Can't decide you would rather play today because you have other plans . If you had something better to do than win a t shirt , you wouldn't have come and booked hotel rooms for the weekend. What a joke! Good news is , your coach protected you from a beat down and possibly getting wet!!

Cooperative ??? There is an actual schedule. Don't need cooperation. You say potatoe , we say forfeit. Play the scheduled game , or the next team will. Pretty simple how it works.
Let's all move on. Awesome NCAA championship weekend and the boys got out to play too.

Look at the original poster spelling Merriam Webster!!

When you can't justify the behavior, go after the spelling and punctuation!
If like to chime in as an annoyed Express parent. I thought Dukes packed up and left for the weekend. If I knew they would play the following morning (as originally scheduled) my son would have stayed and played. Now we look foolish . Dukes won 4. They are champs. If our team would have stayed it might have been different. As for Dukr daddy saying our coach saved us from a beating, get a life.
When is Dukes come to Maryland ?
What is the big difference between the Dukes and any other club team? Club teams take the best that try out? Dukes does the same? Thought the weekend was filled with some great lacrosse.
Difference is dukes took kids that are all ready on other clubs. Let's take best players from express smash igloo united and outlaws and play dukes. See what will happen. It's called poaching.
Let them produce a roster of players that are on that team. It will be different for every tournament they enter.
li parent here chiming in. So what? if those other teams aren't playing in the tournament than what difference does it make? kids wanted to play. I don't see what's wrong with that. Your 6th grader lost. Bid deal. Maybe Dukes should just call the team something else next time...
So if a player plays for another club team are unhappy or want another experience, more playing time, different coaching, whatever the excuse. If they play for the Dukes that is poaching? What about when a player plays for club team A and leaves for another team, is that poaching or are you not allowed to experience different teams? If there was no conflict with their primary team what is the issue? The Dukes program is a teaching program, based on monthly clinics, games and a depth chart. The reason you might see different players is based upon who is on the top of the depth chart and who is not. It allows the players to keep moving and making progress on the team. They are always recruiting similar to every other club team. If your coaches see another player that is talented and can take a spot on your team they will. The winning program is just as important.

Same w FCA, Madlax and bunch of other clubs. It's the team that shows up to that tournament. Be thankful if they are the correct age and play the team on your schedule. Can't control it. Express does same thing FYI!

Sounds like sour grapes to me! You are so upset that another team full of talented kids won that you need to post it on here! your PATHETIC!
If I was Igloo I would be more concerned with Dukes taking Igloo A kids to beat up on their Igloo B team. Sounds like a conflict of interests.

It's more likely that they're upset that Gonzo didn't ask their little Bobby to play for Duke's last weekend.
Hey those kids from igloo are getting looked at by Hopkins already so they can go wherever they want!

As opposed to what MC and 88 + 3 do. They don't take the best players from other organizations. Lol. Of course they do. MC just took a player from legacy last week. And the 88+3 guys, come on. They have been doing it for years. Those organizations give the players NO loyalty and now there is a cheaper and better alternative for the players, so why not. They have poached other organizations for years and now they are being poached and crying about it. Do the research and you will see that Dukes is a good perennial power that players should look at.

Stop!!! Hopkins is not looking at any 6th graders.
Lol I know this is what a father goes around saying.
The people that are coming on here stirring the pot I can pretty much figure out exactly who you are. Don't be mad that your kid wasn't approached. Make him practice harder so maybe next time he is

Sounds like an Express parent that knew a whooping was coming for little Johnny. I bet if you check the Express roster it would change also from tournament to tournament. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

They didn't lose. They left town!


When do you ever hear of a team leaving town in the middle of a tournament? That is just ridiculous. The fact is that they could have played the game because a game was played. Weather wasn't really a factor for any of the games including the NCAA championship but MC wants everyone to think weather was the reason he told them to leave town. Some of his top players are on the depth chart and was afraid he may lose them and others in the future if he couldn't beat them.

I was there. Real simple, Dukes was the best team by far. They had a perceived tough game against outlaws. Tournament organizers saw bad weather coming and asked if Dukes would play after the outlaws game. They rightfully declined, then spanked outlaws well beyond what express could ever do and said let's play per the schedule. Express saw the whooping put on outlaws and said "we outta here". Games were played Monday in no rain and slightly wet fields, at no time was the tournament schedule changed. Express dodged some embarrassment was all. Dukes would spank express (and igloo and smash and United). As an express parent you can not feel good about faking that you can't play the scheduled championship game. But in typical MC fashion a non win ain't a loss.
Mad because my kid wasn't approached by who? Please more money grab
Delusional! No way Dukes spank Express Dukes Daddy.
Let's move on. Would have been a good game. Maybe another time in the future.

This argument between club daddy's will last almost a week, maybe even two....
I think it's time for a new hobby or a movie or anything besides fighting over who club is better then the rest...
They all do the same crap at some point so move on already...

If dukes that good set up a play date with Maryland teams
Completely untrue. Dukes were approached after the outlaw game. They were done for the day. While express still had another game. Still refused to play with a 2 and a half hour rest. While express would've played back to back. Not an express parent, don't like them but express was better. Dukes could never beat smash or igloo because most of their team was smash and igloo.

I was there. Real simple, Dukes was the best team by far. They had a perceived tough game against outlaws. Tournament organizers saw bad weather coming and asked if Dukes would play after the outlaws game. They rightfully declined, then spanked outlaws well beyond what express could ever do and said let's play per the schedule. Express saw the whooping put on outlaws and said "we outta here". Games were played Monday in no rain and slightly wet fields, at no time was the tournament schedule changed. Express dodged some embarrassment was all. Dukes would spank express (and igloo and smash and United). As an express parent you can not feel good about faking that you can't play the scheduled championship game. But in typical MC fashion a non win ain't a loss.

Dukes would not have sniffed a 4 goal loss to Express. And it's silly for me to even say this. But you are clearly misguided/bias/dilusional.

Dukes best "guest" players wanted to play the championship on Saturday, the majority of dukes parents wanted the game to be played on Saturday. This was Dukes leadership turning tail, not MC or Express. Dukes, you have an open invitation to stack your roster with guests and come play in LI anytime.

Parents don't get a vote. Game scheduled for Monday. Express didn't stick around. End of story. Every other bracket played fourth game on Monday. What is so hard to understand??

Here is the bottom line. Dukes are the new guys on the block and wanted to play a TWO day tournament and get to a championship game on Monday in the first NCAA Future Stars Championship as did all of the other programs.

The team wanted to play the schedule the way the tournament directors set forth from the beginning. Express parents are trying to twist the story to convince everyone that the Duke's are bad because they have players from different teams. They are bad because they didn't want to change the schedule because MC was crying and wanted to change it into a one day tournament.

Who cares. Bottom line, that was his way of avoiding a losing situation. They should have stayed as did EVERY OTHER TEAM that entered that tournament. But its the Dukes fault. LOL

This is completely accurate. MC is the original guy who steals players and shows up with whoever he wants to a tournament. He walks right up to kids on fields and tries to steal them. Been doing it for years. And could care less if that spot is already filled by someone who paid him 6 months ago. He will make room !

So why are so many people staying with Express?
WHY ARE THE BOYS WITH EXPRESS? Because it is one of the best programs in the country. Because it has developed some of the best players in high school, college and the pro game. Because it has excellent coaches. Because it exposes its players to the best competition (training, tournaments and showcases). Just for starters
Dukes are a joke. They grab players from all over no coaching, fancy uniforms, not good. Can not play close with any top,2022 teams.

I think the parent that wrote this is a joke. Why do players want to play for the dukes? because they have no coaching? Get a grip. If you really knew the coaches that come out and train those kids I would have to say you are completely clueless. They bring in top quality coaching with their Alumni players at Hopkins, Maryland, North Carolina, etc. But they are a joke. Do the research how many college players played for the Dukes.

So why are so many people talking about how MC screws over the paying customers and kids don't get playing time to develop?
The time that the DUKES becomes a legitimate club is when their dual players quit their original club and play with the DUKES full time. Cannot be considered legitimate if its a pick up team.

Also, a lot of parents from towns that aren't traditional lacrosse powers expect that MC will give them a leg up on getting into the Catholics, where they expect that Little Johnny will get a better look from D1 coaches than he will playing for a school that goes 2-6 in Division C.

And about 50% of people will come down on either side of that discussion.

Then what do you call it when they grab kids from other clubs to come play in a tournament for them? Is there a full time roster that practices throughout the spring/summer and that same roster plays in tournaments together? If not, then IT IS A PICKUP TEAM!!
It's a pickup team.
I think it is closer to mens league
Must be fun being such a miserable person-a real troll
Between PAL, travel practices and tournament games, you think your kid needs to play on a pick-up team?
You need help. So does your marriage, if your not divorced already
you think you are Giving him the edge? What about your other children? do they matter to you?
By 15 he'll be done with lacrosse. we'll call him Fried or Burnt or Crispy and he'll hate you more than he does now.
How can you call Dukes a team when most of the kids have never met each other? Embarrassment, should not be allowed to play in these.

100% pickup and a joke to youth sports.

Why do you people care so much about other people's lives and business??I really want to know. If you're not affected by this why do you care? if you are so affected by it must mean that you are definitely a parent of one of those teams mentioned earlier who is just plain only angry. Otherwise you wouldn't fee the urge to bash another team- pickup or not
Im amazed at how empty your life is if it revolves around 12yr old lacrosse, 24/7 and almost 365.

You couldn't be further from the truth. My life is full of plenty of other wonderful things. I am amazed at how bored you are and how mean you are that all you can do is come on here and cut other people down. Worry about your own life and your own kid and move on

That's all great. But doesn't change fact that express decided not to play championship game last weekend.
Or the fact that Dukes beat outlaws in a way that igloo, smash, United and express couldn't
Dukes daddy bragging about beating Outlaws? You've sunk to a new low.

Please define what a Duke's daddy is. Do you refer to the "regular" dukes daddy, or the "invited" dukes daddy?

I respect what the Dukes program is trying to do, grow the game. At least I'll take them at face value. But unless and until Dukes produces a "local philly area team" that can compete with the rest of the predominant club teams on the east coast, stop chirping.

I was there as a spectator and had NO rooting interest. The math is simple, Express beat Outlaws 8-4 and Dukes beat Outlaws 12-5. Although it was close at half time The Dukes were able pour it on and demolish the Outlaws in the second half. I would say the Dukes Vs Express would be entertaining but I think Dukes just had too much fire power and a much better goalie!
I can't believe this topic is still being argued about.
Seriously. If they are such a good team they should come to a LI tournament and play the teams who's guys they are trying to take. There is no way we lose to a bunch of pickup players and a group of coaches that couldn't coach a PAL team. Despite what you may be hearing about not playing on Monday when it was supposed to rain.
Stop w the Dukes just went back and looked and they were annihilated this spring by a top 2023 team Express would handle Dukes by 8+
I want to see how igloo and 88+3 head coaches would feel when one of their Dukies gets hurt playing meaningless tournament.

They reloaded with a lot more talent and you have no idea what you are talking about. I was there watching another team and they are legit.

My assessment of each LI Team;

Express, best Middies very good Goalie and not much else
United, Best Goalie Rest of the team is inconsistent
Igloo, Couple of very good players that they lean on, rest inconsistent and small
Smash, good middies and defense - a lot of smaller players

All teams are very well coached.

Watched them get blown out in championship by a 2023 team in shamrock shootout Double digit loss. Sure they have improved but relax. It's not even a real team grab kids from 4/5 different states it is actually embarrassing

Mr . Know it all didn't touch on maybe the most important . Faceoffs. Control the ball and you should win games. Guess u didn't learn that at baseball practice back in the 80's

I actually think all 4 teams have outstanding middies. And difference that slightly separates the teams is production from the attack.
You guys are both tools. Seriously, I have analyzed all teams in depth and watched each position and each line, I actually keep the stats for each player and then I dropped them into a proprietary algorithm and came to the conclusion you two are the sickest tools ever.

OK i'll bite. Outlaws attack very good. Small Middies that are average. Defense is Above average but small. And Goalie is very good.

wth is that supposed to mean?
go to Bagel Boss on Route 347...and go have a drink by the water in Port Jefferson. Give Danfords a try to start (its for tourists) and then make your way around town and you will have plenty of choices.

Port Jefferson is a good call for the out of towner. Parking is tough on weekends.
Not a good day for Igloo and United. Both go 0-3
Express 3-0, Smash 2-1 today and on to the winners bracket.

Zone defense not so good on a real field
All scores look like good close battles for the most part
United and Igloo,-10 GD today! United parents looking lost! Alot of chatter and hiding all fall/winter, we see the why!
Was TLI invited to the MD invitational?
Tli? 6th best 2022 team on li.
No invite

You will realize when your kids get older that going 20 and 0 or 10 and 10 doesn't matter if your kids are learning , improving and competing. No one should have any regrets. All these teams are fine. When they are in 9th grade , no one cares anymore. Will all be about college recruiting.

It's funny how the past is less important than the present.

Bethesda over Smash 7-6 and Express over Hawks 10-9. Close games.

Bethesda vs. Express in E8 championship. (Bethesda did not even make Hoco playoffs - parity).

It may be a long time before we see all the best 2022s in one tournament like this again. Thanks to MM for pulling this together.


All tight games today. Crazy how one possession could've determined all but 2 games so far entire weekend
Truth be there told. United not a top team anymore. Should have invited TLI. Or outlaws.

Bethesda had guest players for this tournament.


BLC had guest or even a completely different team than they fielded all year in MD. Sounded Like Express grabbed some local boys to help them along with other guest too..

Good teams all around and High Level lacrosse for this age.

Congrats to Express.

This was a great tourney - so many tight games. 15 of the games were decided by 2 goals or less.

The real question is how many MD players were born in 2002
Same team for Bethesda, Goalie was stellar as was defense. Goalie had broken arm during spring season. Great event, very close games, and solid teams all around.

^^^thats funny, ask MM who has all the waivers and registrations from all the MD teams with their b-days and grade year. D-Backs, MM team and hawks are all the same players from all year. Teams beat each other up all year long. True 2022 teams out to face the best there is. Period. nice try though with age comment.
Bethesda won 2 games in league play in MD.
Great Lacrosse this weekend. love the outstanding players and great games. Good coaching , fairly good refereeing.
Great event-I would not be happy watching kid from another state guest play on my LI team ahead of my kid when I paid lots of $. Guess winning at all costs is most important thing!

Express won the whole thing with kids the same size as all the others. All the teams had a couple huge kids. I didn't see any obvious cheating. I can say the MD teams that played didn't look drastically different from the lineups they used the whole spring in hoco.
Excellent E8 but age verifications and set rosters needed to level playing field.
1 to 2 goal games weren't considered level? Every game was close. Coaching excellent! Parents maintained good sideline behavior for the most part. Great tournament that any team could have won.
Were teams allowed to add players in the middle of the tournament?
Maryland parents were very civil. Smash daddy in the blinding orange shirt was an embarrassment to LI parents fighting with a Maryland mom bc "his team" lost.

There was a drastic difference with several hawks kids and they scored a lot of the goals. It is what it is. But lets call a spade a spade.

Thought most everyone was civil with a few exceptions.
Igloo parent got tossed today. One of Untited coaches ejected yesterday for arguing with ref.
Regardless. Extremely advanced level of play by all of the teams, forgetting about who won and who lost. An incredible pool of players out there. Clearly all of the boys have worked very hard and we should celebrate their success. Good luck to all this summer. It will continue to fun for the boys and for us to watch.
Yeah thats true. And I even saw a bunch of kids that were way too fast compared to others. There was a fat kid in goal compared to the skinny one. I even heard one kid is allowed to practice whenever he wants and is raised by parents who don't scream at him while he is playing a game.
Igloo parent got tossed. Funny Angry troll
Stratton smash thief fighting cause his son too small

Its called holdback no matter how you spin it. If its well known why deny it

Parents had good behavior because they weren't near the field. How it should be.
Holdback or not, it had no effect on the tournament....
actually its genetics... darwin would have used you in his research before he determined you expendable... some kids are bigger better stronger faster older younger smarter slower fatter skinnier... as your kid grows these next few years he will have to play against giants and midgets, smart players and complete idiots both examples following in the foot steps of their parents. but fortunately your smart phone is the smartest in your family so it will record the greatness of next of kin

I know who you're talking about, but it's not true. Same players all year. That team has a lot of depth. And a few kids have improved greatly. If you shut down a couple players, others can do the job. We've watched them a lot.
Express had kid(s)from Baltimore
I'm sure LI parents thrilled to drive 3hours and not play
No rules, not right
To bad express plays with a new roster every week. All the other team play with the same 22-24 boys for a full year. No not Express it's a revolving door week to week. Not sure how the parents put up with it.
Don't come here calling teams cheats then say ' a spade is spade' .. Classic sore loser. Every team had big and small kids alike including the team that one it all.
Your credibility just took a dump . That is the exact Hawks team since fall that we play against all the time. Bigger kids mean that they are automatically older ' classic sore loser..
As a Express parent, other than the championship we could have been 0-4 BUT these kids are special! They are clicking together and it shows!
You could definitely see the LI parents, express include vs Maryland parents! For the most part a civil, great comptetion and fun lax weekend!
I can't wait for the boys to get at it this weekend! #2022

no one said it wasn't the same exact team. the obvious are the holdbacks. if you choose to hold your son back you shouldn't be so defensive. no one is fooling anyone. everyone whispers the word holdback. it is what it is. but stop pretending it's not happening. and it's NOT about being a sore loser. Hawks didn't win did they.

sounds like a parent that left. it was okay for Igloo kids to play with Express last summer in a tournament and Express kids to jump ship to United and Smash. common everyone is trying to find the best fit for their kid or them. it's the name of the game. one player played very few plays in two games. you can hardly say it made a difference in playing time or scores. get over it. there are plenty of options and that's the beauty of the sport.

same players isn't the point. holdbacks were the point. they could have gone to kindergarten at 7. who knows. but there is no way at least two or three of them were 12. people have their arguments about guest players and people have their arguments about holdbacks. like it was said, it is what it is. neither are monitored.

everyone knows that holdbacks are happening. it's ridiculous to deny it. raise your hand if you don't know a holdback

But you're spreading rumors when you don't know based on looking at a kid. And I'm telling you based on KNOWING the kids that there are no 13 year olds on that team. Not one. Some kids hit puberty at 10, some at 12, some at 14. You don't know what you're talking about. I have seen true sixth graders that are five foot eight. And I have seen six graders that that are four foot eight. That's the way it is.

My overview of E8:

Positives:

Best talent and IQ at this age.
76% of games decided by 1 or 2 goals.
High-level coaching / scouting.
Great venue for playing / watching.
Invaluable experience for the kids.

Negatives:

Must adopt standard AGE verification before someone gets hurt.

Set rosters. Players should not be allowed to join a team mid-tournament.

Yes, it is monitored by a coach that doesn't cheat. You want proof? Ask for it. You cannot go around accusing teams of cheating because a couple of kids are mature. You don't know what you're talking about.

why is everyone so afraid to admit there are holdbacks when it is condoned and allowed at this point. it is an advantage, especially when they are older, and it is allowed. why isn't it admitted to in a lot of cases.

Why would someone admit to it if it's not true, though? The thing is, people come on here and accuse teams of having holdbacks because certain kids are big or hairy or whatever. But it's not necessarily true. And you can't assume. My son looks like he's 15 but he's 12. His best buddy on his team looks like he's 10, but he's 12 and actually a few months older than my son. You just don't know!

if you want me to believe there were no kids on that field that were holdbacks over the weekend you must be crazy.
My 3rd grade son said to me this morning, "why is Timmy on the 3rd grade team??? We went to camp last summer and he was on the 3rd grade then, shouldn't he be in 4th grade?"

JUST GO AGE BASED PLEASE, 8 year old know its happening.

I was there this weekend and had a very nice discussion with one of the MD Parents and I asked him why are your kids so big and he told me that it has to do with the cutoff date when you start school. IN MD the cutoff date is SEPT and on LI it is DEC so a late birthday in MD is June/July/August. He said that on his team more than 1/2 of the kids are born in 2003. Funny he actually pointed out when an 04 kid did something good.

He was shocked to learn that our team had only 1 kind born in 12/03 and that everyone else is born in 04.

that wasn't a Hawks parent. every other team had maybe kids born in the summer of '03, which isn't a big difference, but older holdbacks were there. even the coaches whispered about it.

same players isn't the point. holdbacks were the point. they could have gone to kindergarten at 7. who knows. but there is no way at least two or three of them were 12. people have their arguments about guest players and people have their arguments about holdbacks. like it was said, it is what it is. neither are monitored.


Yes, it is monitored by a coach that doesn't cheat. You want proof? Ask for it. You cannot go around accusing teams of cheating because a couple of kids are mature. You don't know what you're talking about.


if you want me to believe there were no kids on that field that were holdbacks over the weekend you must be crazy. [/quote]

Instead of spreading lies why don't you just ask the kid's parents? Or would you prefer to come on here anonymously instead of having the guts to just ask? Hawks will be in LI this weekend. I dare you to pick out a kid that you think is a holdback and ask his parents.

It is a big advantage when all of our kids are born in 04. On our team 95% are born in 04 and the 2 that are born in 03, 1 is born in NOV and the other DEC.

Be realistic and think if you took all your 03's off the team how would you do against the LI Teams. I don't think it would be close.

In MD a holdback is born in 2002, on LI a hold back is born in 03 for 2022.

On LI we if a kid is born 10/03 for 2022 we call him a holdback.

LI cut off is December. September makes the most sense. Socially, academically and athletically. can't fault a parent for holding back a sept oct or nov child. but we are not talking about 6 months or a year difference. there was more than that on those fields.

It doesn't really matter cheaters or non cheaters, hold backs still could not score on true 2022 goalies. Very talented kids at this age. My son being one of those talented goalies it's just like having a lesson for him with the team. The harder the opposite team plays the more better he gets. It sucks that some ppl feel they need the advantage for there son to be the ace on the team but it will be a hard lesson as they get older, being they won't be able to keep up with the other same aged boys.

Get it through your thick skull. There was not a kid born in 2002. Get it through your thick skull, there was not a kid who was a year older than your players. If you think that is the case, ask for proof. Coming on here and complaining anonymously is unfair, cowardly, and cheap. These kids work really hard -- like all the kids do. You do not have the right to take away what they've earned because you think they are older than your kids. I'm sorry you expected to come down here and spank every MD team, but guess what? Kids down here can play lax too. Get over it. There are a lot of public school kids who can't hold back and a lot of privates who choose not to. Our school cut off is Sept. 1. If you don't like the fact that kids might be three months older than yours, don't come down.

Relax - I think people just want to know how the MD kids are much bigger and faster than the LI Kids. It's not an even playing field having a team loaded with 2003 kids vs a team with all 2004 kids.

At the end of the day it was a great weekend the kids had a good time and LI won anyway with all 2004 kids wink
LIE had MD guest players.

Not going to relax when people come on here and anonymously accuse teams of cheating. And then say teams are loaded with 2003 teams. My sons team has 2003 kids only because the school cutoff is Sept 1. The biggest kid on my son's team was born after the cutoff. Like I said, you just don't know unless you know.
There was kids as big or even bigger than MD players from the NY teams. Especially the champion team.. Not sure why anyone on here is arguing that MD players were bigger and older. Its comical and silly. IF your team is full of 03 players then go find a 03 tournament to play in so you can tell Johnny all is right in the world and he will succeed. But when you come to MD or even NY and play in an 2022 tournament where there are kids with 03 and 04 birthdays which is the case with every 2022 classroom in this country because of the month they were born in, then don't cry about how Johnny got beat by Joey who happens to be maturing a bit faster kicks his but. OH and is completely within all rules and regulations of every 2022 league or tournament across the country.
my 04 son happens to have a very late bday and is the smallest kid on the field at almost every game he plays in. He loves playing against his friends and teammates who are the biggest kids on the filed and whom happen to also be the youngest.. Go figure"
but they are all cheaters because 1 has late o4 bday and 1 is too big. Good luck selling your little Johnny on that when he gets to High School.

Holdbacks are everywhere, get used to it. doesn't make all of them cheaters..

Great Talented at this age group sad to see so many adults discouraging the play on the fields.

Even if you think you know, you don't know. No one is filling out birth dates under the penalty of perjury.

Were does it say you were cheating. I think the poster was just saying that the teams in MD are older than the teams from NY due to the school cut off date and that it is not an even playing field. We won anyway with only 2 2003 on the roster. If we took kids from our 2021 team that birthdays were after 8/2003 then it wouldn't even be close. For a contact sport there should be age regulations. It will happen some day, unfortunately most likely when a kid gets very hurt in a grade based tournament.
"They don't think it be like it is, but it do"

I love your moral relativism. It's great! Didn't LI Express have a MD kid who is a 2003. Now... explain that... I guess it's okay because he's not from Long Island. You're such purists. God bless ya'!
Express congrats on winning E8. I think all teams got better playing each other. could have the same tournament 8 weeks in a row and have 8 different winners.
Your all a bunch of ASSH@OLES! These are 12 year old kids and I bet half of them get burnt out from the pressure of the parents!

Perhaps you should worry about something other then grammar when you are trolling the botc. Everybody who worries about the structure of a post instead of the actual post, are the ones the post's are generally regarding. Just saying.....

All sides do it ? Is that how you get through it ?
Can we move on from this chatter ? 8 good teams participated. Great weekend of lacrosse no matter the outcomes of the games. 2022 is a loaded year. Next tournament !

what would you like to talk about? it's not a matter of getting through it. it's a matter of it's allowed. it was a great weekend of lacrosse but people can't admit holdbacks or quest players because there is a stigma to it. it's a good discussion because it affects all players and the future of the sport. I know everyone gets all defensive about it but both give a perceived unfair advantage whether it's said on here or not.

Perceived advantage ? Being a year or two older is an actual advantage !! And I assume you are saying guest players ? They are great until they take playing time away from your kid who paid for the summer. Then you won't be happy.

There's nothing to get through. We all saw GREAT lacrosse played by 12 year old boys. If some teams had a guest or two, personally I'm fine with it. So long as they are on age, it's all good.
The kids played their hearts out, the parents were appreciative and "mostly" well behaved.
If we're going to nit-pick about a player that is older, or not part of the regular roster, then we need to set up the tourney's that way.

But this weekend was great lacrosse. All MD and LI teams showed great talent for this age group. Fun to watch.
Not all parents are pleased with the guest player. Especially when you pay tuition and travel 3.5 hours and the guest player takes playing time away from your son.
How about we talk about how you are going to start this proactive movement for grade and age based tournament and save youth lacrosse,. How about we start there. Or how about we talk about how you are going to demand that your club only play in one year birth year tournaments. Or, how about we talk about how you are going to protest this travesty of grade based lacrosse and keep your kid at home the rest of the summer. Those would be a good place to start. Now, if you aren't willing to start at one of those steps and still take your kid to grade based tournaments, then we can talk about how you should shut up and stop the crying. Be about change if you think grade based youth lacrosse is a disaster or quit the crying. Dealing with a crying pathetic adult with his pissing on here will be awesome for the next 6 years.
It wasn't just LIE. The 88+3 teams had guest players also.

All sides do it ? Is that how you get through it ?


There's nothing to get through. We all saw GREAT lacrosse played by 12 year old boys. If some teams had a guest or two, personally I'm fine with it. So long as they are on age, it's all good.
The kids played their hearts out, the parents were appreciative and "mostly" well behaved.
If we're going to nit-pick about a player that is older, or not part of the regular roster, then we need to set up the tourney's that way.

But this weekend was great lacrosse. All MD and LI teams showed great talent for this age group. Fun to watch.


Uh, my 12 year old boy is a 2021...won't be 13 until end of July.

Well, duh! He should be a 2021, you dolt! Haven't you read anything on this thread?! C'mon man, let's just take a deep breath.

It was a solid weekend of 11/12 year old lacrosse. Does that make you feel better. Warm inside yet?

You do realize that 2022s born in January 2004, or after, are now 12, right?!

Reading comprehension and math...work on those please before your next post.

So then why doesn't he have any smash gear?? Why is he in a practice pinney, with a Smithtown helmet?

Which tournament and where
fl$...there was a team called SBL that had some holdbacks. The kids were 8 inches taller than any other kids in the age group and dominated. Think having 3-4 kids from the better 2021 team playing in a B 2022 tournament. Wasn't right and wasn't fair. Other than that the top teams seemed to play right games.

They weren't holdbacks - according to the BBL kids themselves, they were 2020 and 2021 kids who were playing down to make the team competitive - good thing the Eff Ell Gee director had everyone pay for the age verification.

The age verification from eff ell gee was a scam - $13 per child and tournament fees... be careful of identity theft as well.....

Do not worry the 2021 team drove to the game themselves.
NLF was the least safe tournament I have ever seen.

No trainer stations at all.
No calls for blows to the head and neck.
Cross checks to the back with Possession and falling down not called.
Kids knocked down to ground for minutes after blow to the head allowed to continue without a break - no concusion protocol.

I agree that running clock do tourneys in general suck and you don't want a lot of whistles, but safety has to have priority.

Interesting that there were my lax tourney banners all over the place. But last time I mentioned a connection of NLF and MLT.com on this site, it didn't get posted. Wonder if this one will get through.
It's funny how Express has won 4 championships in the last 5 weekends, without a loss and there is no talk anymore about who is the best! Clearly these kids deserve some love, they have beaten EVERYONE, all of the best teams! They are the team to beat this summer!
Smash - United considering to form one top team?
I love when these refs claim "high school / college" rules to justify illegal hits. RIDICULOUS!
Smash who?

I hope not. To have two teams that good in one club is rare - they both compete at the highest level. The focus should be continuing the development (losing is part of it) the kids and getting them ready for the next level. Breaking them up would seem like a business decision and the wrong move. IMHO.

Two equal teams never works and that is being proven
United and Smash are two excellent teams, respectively. The teams have their own dynamics and chemistry, which should be preserved. It would be a shame to change.

obnoxious and unnecessary comment. But I chuckled anyway
yes, united is happy and united on the sidelines... i'll leave well enough alone for the other team and their sideline dynamic.
Team from New England had, by their own admission, 7th graders playing despite organizers making everyone pay for age verification.

Express practices 3x weekly and has 30 kids to choose from to play - they should win all tournaments. 31 kids if you count Baltimore kid watching game and then uniform on 1 hour later. Feel bad for the 20 kids that dont play in close games.

Beachlax "championship" against an fca team that was 2-4 in hoco and missed playoffs. Not exactly a win to pound your chest about.


Especially when they beat you 9-2 in full game

Blame their parents who would rather shell out the money to have their kids stand on the sideline. They could easily have their boys play with the B team who had to supplement their roster with a number of 5th graders. Apparently, for the most part the A + B teams practice together, so they would get the same instruction and more playing time. It must be really important to these parents to be able to boast that their kids are on the A team.
Express may have won 4 and they are very talented especially their middies and goalie-HOWEVER they don't play with the same roster week to week....having a guest player from MD for the elite 8 adding players totaling 29 and one week 32 on sideline.
Congrats on the wins but win with the roster you have and build it. What parent would pay all that money tuition and travel expenses to see their kid get 2-3 runs in a game... how is that beneficial... all to say you WON. Your kid isn't really happy and not getting better watching from the sidelines! Finally no college coach asks who won the most tournaments in 6th grade...2022 is a great bracket with a ton of lax talent but is your Express kid playing not when the same 3 middies pretty much stay in all game long! Don't lose focus on what is most important your kid loving the game, competing, being challenged and most importantly well coached. Good luck will be an exciting summer season

Express beat every team in the Elite 8 by one goal. Definitely a great team but certainly beatable.

Very well stated
Thank you for saying what so many parents and coaches are feeling. Express is a VERY talented program with great kids, top coaching and a strong schedule. However, I cannot respect a program that changes rosters from one tourney to the next. What does that teach the kids? Win at any cost, even if you have to bend the rules? Or the kid who shows up to practice, puts the time in and gets bumped for a bruiser (note the different helmets on the Express sideline). My boy plays 2022 and I want him to grow and absorb lessons that extend beyond lacrosse; lessons that are metaphors for life. Juicing a sixth grade line-up against teams that maintain ONE roster all season may rack up the W's but it is not doing the sport, or these kids, any favors in life. I would rather lose with integrity than win with an asterisk, but I seem to be in the minority around here.
another well stated reply....

Definitely not in the minority on this one. Well stated!
NOT TRUE! The few changes to the roster have been inconsequential. They have not effected any outcome to any game. These comments are from a few sour apples looking to explain why their team is not winning. Express continues to develop the entire roster. Tight games shorten the bench. That is a fact of life and the protocol of every coach.
Definitely Not in the minority. Most parents feel the same way. Probably not the parents of he kids who play the entire game, but the ones who's kids have been to every practice and are trying their best and looking for guidance and support, but not getting it.
I agree the roster changes have been inconsequential, but then why make it? The only thing that does is breed descention among those kids and parents of kids who are losing playing time for an add on who isn't even that good. Toxic if u ask me. U have a very good team. Stop messing with it. Have u ever heard the saying if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Agreed that tight games shorten the bench , but how can you justify a kid that is brought in to play that doesn't practice with the team?The other kids don't get to compete for the time...its just given to a kid that isn't on the team,
Wasn't EVERYONE ripping the Dukes for doing exactly what Express is doing? Its NOT ok to take a gun for hire in order to win plain and simple! Build a team and live with the good and the bad. More Importantly let the kids know it is ok to lose a few games!
Plays them evenly? Too many middies, too many attack. Not possible to play them evenly no matter who is coaching.

and maybe some of these people should ask their son if he cried and told the coach he didn't want to go back in the game. blame the coaches is easier.

no one is forcing you to stay. and most daddies refused to put their kid on the B team. it goes both ways.

there was no gun for hire. this is like a run away freight train
Dukes is a all star team changes every tournamen
im guessing the daddy coaches do t have much say. MC created a toxic situation by not being satisfied with the awesome talent he has. If he didn't add new "talent" each week, there would be no problems. If he was smart, he would put the time in and develop a strong B team like 92 did with United. But that's a lot work.

You realize the LIE 2022 staff is the SA JV staff, I'm sure their on the same page whether MC is there or not it'll be run the same way. I think the "daddy" coaches unfortunately are just becoming the "fall" guys for the disgruntled parents.

The problem is the bottom 10 players who want to play on the A team but dont see the field. It's funny because the A and B practice together so these kids wouldn't miss out on practice and would get to play in games in Tournaments. And coincidentally now the B coach is the Kellenberg JV coach, catholic guys always looking out for each other lol
You guys are nuts. MC like 91 and igloo etc. make money by having the top program at all ages and will do anything possible to achieve that, bring in a player or play only your 13 best or merge two teams. In business we call this capitalism, unfortunately in sports it involves kids and parents but really it's nothing more than business. On a separate note if you watch any given game and see 5 kids better than your son then maybe you should focus more on grades than sports for your kid.

Yes, and Smash and United are just dominating all around! STOP with your drivel.

Move along, we know you hate MC. Next please...
This is factually incorrect. There are 2022 programs that play with the same roster the entire season.

By 9th grade you will realize "dominating" 6th grade lacrosse is unimportant. Your team will look very different . You will be lucky if 5 kids are on team still once the HS politics kick in. Then recruiting starts and no one , I mean no one (except lunatic parents) care who wins or loses. It's about exposure and competitive games.

Say what you want about other clubs but if you make the team , they will have same kids on team until next year tryout. Express is week to week with players and coaches. That is not a great experience for most, no matter what you say. More kids quit those teams mid season than anyone else out there.
Preparation for future lacrosse life. Blink of an eye and these boys will be in high school. Some playing junior varsity and some playing varsity. 40-plus on the team and playing time could be that much more limited. Do they still have fun, do they still train hard and continue to develop, do they still eagerly await for their opportunity to play in the games? Fast forward, the one's that continue to enjoy the sport, work hard and remain committed, will play on a college team with 60-plus players, and the same things can be said. Stop counting minutes and look at the overall experience and development.

more people jump ship is more like it. no one is forcing anyone to stay. do what is best for your kid and stop blaming people. MC runs a middie game. always has. MC recruits as he goes along. always has. there is nothing new here. and the grass isn't always greener but there is plenty of it to choose from.

Yes, they will quit, rather than fight through the adversity, work hard and EARN the minutes. Guest players, new recruits, or whatever. It doesn't matter. Kids need to work harder, not quit, if they want to get better. Good riddance to the quitters. Move along MC haters.

Fight through adversity? They are 12 and worked hard and made a team. Now more and more kids keep coming. That is not adversity, its poor business practices and will create a negative impact on the team. I would encourage any kid to find a better environment where the coach cares about them and honors the commitment made in fall when they made the team. They are many options out there. Wouldn't settle for "adversity"!

the coaches on Express care about the kids. that's ridiculous to say. practically every parent that asked if their kid could stay on the A team when they didn't make it or if their kid can join after the fact was not refused. maybe the parents should gang up on the other parents instead of going after the coaches. especially the ones who only cheer for three or four kids and remain silent when other kids succeed.

we can't coddle our kids forever. there is always going to be someone better than you. it's called good old fashioned competition. the sooner your child realizes that the better off they will be.
I don't believe in quitting, and always say that to my kids. I
have a problem with the sense of entitlement today, but with that being said this is a completely different story. If you want to bring someone into the tryouts every year to compete with my son, I have no problem with that and agree they have to learn to compete. In this case my son made the team, and we paid the fee to be part of a team of 23 players. Now each week a different kid comes in and takes playing time from the rest of the kids. I don't think that is doing the right thing by your players and in the long run is bad business.

it remains to be seen. so far Express is very successful. there are many teams to choose from. that's the beauty of sports these days. what's not cool is coming on here and bashing people anonymously.

The original rosterm for the B team was very strong. What do you suggest he do when dads won't play B.
Stop it. To set the record straight - these daddy coaches do more for that team than anybody. And both their kids are a big reason the team has had so much success of late. To suggest anything else is out of line.
Agreed.

Or the kid who shows up to practice, puts the time in and gets bumped for a bruiser (note the different helmets on the Express sideline). My boy plays 2022 and I want him to grow and absorb lessons that extend beyond lacrosse; lessons that are metaphors for life. Juicing a sixth grade line-up against teams that maintain ONE roster all season may rack up the W's but it is not doing the sport, or these kids, any favors in life. I would rather lose with integrity than win with an asterisk, but I seem to be in the minority around here.


I'm just curious why you have to do this anonymously. Maybe this should be said out loud once in a while with conviction.
since the original post is no longer visible, let's take a step back and say to ourselves do we really want to be talking about coaches and kids for good or bad reasons on an anonymous site. what are we teaching our kids. you can't take back social media posts people. think before you act.

It may be a hodge podge but same result. Express will keep adding kids until they get the results they want!

The kids selected at tryouts are the same kids on the field winning. Noboby added has really improved the team.

Then why do it ?? If the kids from tryouts are winning , what is point of adding new kids all year ?
The point is $$$$$$$$$$.
It is all about the cash baby!!
LI Outlaws having a great day at NSCLA!

Looks like it is the MD RoughRiders to lose. LI Outlaws lost to Team Carolina 6-2 who MD RR beat 9-5.
Heard Igloo and United had some nice off the field antics! The kids are playing some amazing lacrosse in this age group and some of the parents are displaying some pathetic behavior on the sidelines. It would be nice to see the adults make an effort to improve their game.

At the Elite Eight in MD a couple of weeks ago, two Igloo dads were kicked off the sidelines because they couldn't stop running their mouths at the refs. Just awful behavior.
And while they represent LI, it is an embarrassment to the majority of the parents who respect the game, the refs, the opponents & coaches.
I'm not sure what can be done, but this behavior has no place in youth sports. Program directors should be more proactive in managing parents antics.

To the original poster, you are completely wrong. The operative word being "heard". Don't know where you get your info. To the second poster – stop acting like your team has never had a parent that was loud when they didn't agree with the refs calls. Stop acting like your team is so perfect and pure and your parents are all little angels. I'm sure they're not
I was at that game in Maryland. For better or for worse, there was nothing said at that game beyond what is normally said at lacrosse games. The referee ran into the kid with the ball and the play was whistled dead. He was embarrassed and chased parents to save face.

Nothing is worse than the LI Express dad that screams "HIT 'EM" a hundred times a game. So obvious he never played lacrosse.
Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads.
Rough riders over outlaws
6-5. Last second goal. Great game. Two real good teams playing real good lax. Congrats to RR
LI Express over Crabs 9-5 in Big4H Championship.
Actually no parent should "voice their knowledge" to the refs during a game . That's the problem, loud mouths on every team.
Great championship game at NSCLA between Outlaws and Roughriders ( yep Outlaws in Championship)
RR pulled it off in the final minute
Great game and great weekend of fun for the boys at Hershey

Most amazing part of the game was the express dad screaming at the top of his lungs for 50 minutes for the express defenders to hit the crabs hard. Well done. Amazing you didn't lose your voice.

91 plays by its own rules. Disservice to the other teams in the tournament. Igloo and Madlax should have competed for the championship.
Battle of the Losers?
No different than the crabs dad yelling hit the goalie in the elbows or the palm beach dad yelling pop the fo kids's arm out of the socket! Frustration gets the best of a lot of dads at tournaments.
Easily said but when you watch these refs allowing vicious hits, slashes and pushes in the back its not easy!

I did not hear that, but the difference is he actually screamed hit them hard repeatedly for 50 minutes.
Well done, North. Represent with pride!

Disservice really ??? You can't be serious ?! Why should igloo And Madlax play for the championship when they lost to both 91 teams !!!!! You are clueless !!! That was a very classy move for an organization !!! And not a 88+3 parent either ...shows respect something you obviously are lacking!! Do you think igloo A would've played igloo B in the finals ? Nothing good comes out of playing each other ! donkey !!!
You have no clue, JERKY. If a team enters a competition, then it does not have the right to pick and choose who to play. "Classy" my [lacrosse]. And yes, Igloo teams would have played. Any other club would have.
Because if a team makes a decision not to play, then it forfeits. Sport101

So your saying Smash lost on purpose ? 12 year old boys lost on purpose ? Or an egotistical coach did too ? Really ?

Yes
Absolutely not. The kids played hard and no coaching " blunders". Enough with the conspiracy. it's not as if they lost to a B team. 12 yrs old people. Kids start to even out.
Thats what kids on team said afterwards. Tight game- lots of substitutions.
So your interviewing 12 year old kids after a game. What are u Brent Mussberger asking Bird what happened ??
I read this site now and again because my kid plays 2022 and I like to hear what is going on and what is being said. It seems very 'angry' for reasons I don't understand but there were two observations I would like to make from the Long Island Lax Festival.

The first is parity. A very good United team tied twice in pool play; they are well-coached and the goalie is the best I've seen. Superstars had some very strong / big players and represented very well. Prime Time played extremely strong and is moving in the right direction. Igloo did not lose in pool play but lost by 1 to Smash, which lost by 3 to Mad Lax, which lost by 4 to Igloo. Express was not there, unfortunately. As the kids get bigger and stronger, the talent will continue to improve and ALL teams should benefit.

The second was the officiating. Evidently there were many tournaments on Long Island over the weekend and not enough referees to go around, which really hurt the tournament in my view. Many games got out of hand because no calls were made and several kids had to be carted off the field. That is terrible and needs to change as the game grows. There is no excuse for bad parenting but it is no surprise that tension was high as the games got chippier and there was no discipline. That was the only real issue in an otherwise great weekend with great weather and great teams.

Smash Deez Nuts coaches are so smart that they knew they should lose the first game on Sunday Morning, before all the other games so they wouldn't have to play United in the semi's? I am heading to Vegas next week, can you please ask them who is going to win the Superbowl this year.
LI Express came back from a 4 goal deficit to beat Crabs in finals at Philly--well played game and kudos to kids. Too bad LI dad who was shouting at refs all game is such a poor example, especially on Father's day....
So where were the Outlaws Select this weekend? I did not see them with all the other A teams.
Outlaws lost to MD roughriders 6-5 in championship tournament. Great game by 2 good teams. Lax fest was a joke. 2 teams don't play in title game. Give me a break. These teams have been crying who's better for years now, and they don't play? What other A teams were there? Express winning a weak tournament. Outlaws have played everyone this season. Beat united. Close one with smash. Express has their #(and EVERYONE else's for that matter) you obviously have an axe to grind with that organization. LET IT GO.

They were at the NSCLA Adidas Cup in Hershey. They lost a close game (5-4) to the Maryland Roughriders in the last few seconds.

I think that was covered already. Is this what you teach your child, if you have a problem go on social media and anonymously post your gripe. Its kind of obvious most of the time who is posting anyway.

91 plays by its own rules. Disservice to the other teams in the tournament. Igloo and Madlax should have competed for the championship.


91 wants them to stop the infighting before they merge them next year for the World Series according to the Red Solo Cup Brigade.


Disservice really ??? You can't be serious ?! Why should igloo And Madlax play for the championship when they lost to both 91 teams !!!!! You are clueless !!! That was a very classy move for an organization !!! And not a 88+3 parent either ...shows respect something you obviously are lacking!! Do you think igloo A would've played igloo B in the finals ? Nothing good comes out of playing each other ! donkey !!!


They did the same thing last year. Pathetic really


Actually the fact that everyone is so concerned about it is what's pathetic ! Get a life people and start worrying about your own son !


It concerns all of our sons.

The first is parity. A very good United team tied twice in pool play; they are well-coached and the goalie is the best I've seen. Superstars had some very strong / big players and represented very well. Prime Time played extremely strong and is moving in the right direction. Igloo did not lose in pool play but lost by 1 to Smash, which lost by 3 to Mad Lax, which lost by 4 to Igloo. Express was not there, unfortunately. As the kids get bigger and stronger, the talent will continue to improve and ALL teams should benefit.

The second was the officiating. Evidently there were many tournaments on Long Island over the weekend and not enough referees to go around, which really hurt the tournament in my view. Many games got out of hand because no calls were made and several kids had to be carted off the field. That is terrible and needs to change as the game grows. There is no excuse for bad parenting but it is no surprise that tension was high as the games got chippier and there was no discipline. That was the only real issue in an otherwise great weekend with great weather and great teams.


Long Island should be very proud of the 2022 Class. There is a ton talent at this age group. These teams are traveling up and down the east coast and winning almost every tournament against MD,PA, MA teams made up of mostly older kids (born in 2003). I for one love the parity at this age and and look forward to when my son's team plays one of the other good teams. Let's stop the name calling and enjoy the quality of lacrosse we are watching because it's going to be over in blink of eye.
Agree, ton of athletes at 2022 level that are well trained which translates to the ability of winning on any given day. I have Seen pockets of talented kids over many years in different sports but this age group has the most dense population of terrific athletic kids.
let me guess. you have a 22 son. thanks for your analysis.

Let's also stop the chip on the shoulder about the "mostly older kids." You have no idea how many of the kids were born in 2003. And, even the ones that were... it is at most, a four-month difference. Get over yourself.

You don't know what you are talking about.
No my kids are out of college and i have coached football and lacrosse for 25years. By your comment you sound fairly new at this probably 4 to 5 years into club. Remember have patience and try to be nice.

Nobody needs to "confront that guy". He roots for his sons team, NEVER talks trash to refs like what has been insinuated on this site, and understands the game better than most.

The problem is, Deez Nuts have been Smashed, so people are looking for a new target.

People need to take a deep breath. It's youth lacrosse. To the point of a previous poster, there's a lot to be proud of for Boys 2022 lacrosse on Long Island. Can't we all just get along?!

I will let it go when they play the best Long Island teams more than once. Don't run to some obscure tournament trying to beat up on B teams like last year. Even that backfired !

I don't call yelling to "Hit them hard" over and over as "Cheering for your team". I only saw him this weekend, but he certainly gave the refs an earful on more than one occasion.

I do know because I talk to the MD Parents who are usually very nice and they tell me that more than 50% and sometime as much as 75% are born in 03. It's not 4 months many of their kids are born mid to late 03 and most of our kids are born mid to late 04. Look at the Size difference and watch them run, i guarantee they are more than a year older than our kids. That being said I am very proud of the LI Boys for basically winning every 2022 tournament.
LOL are you a player.

CONGRATS! This site has reached a new low! Stay classy you low life! Stop by the 2022 tent anytime and talk this madness! All of you are some real men that your boys should be proud of, freaking jokes! Hiding anomously like the cowards you are and spewing this trash from your perch in GC!! You talk about a mans wife??? HACKS!!! Come down south shore Suffolk county and run your mouth! HACKS!

EXACTLY!!! Get a set and put your name to it if you're going to talk it!
Morons!!!This is some idiot stirring trouble and will likely spill over to the parents sideline. Chill out and don't feed into it. The kids are going to be crushed when they look over and see parents fist fighting because of some stupid blog. Let's enjoy the little summer lax that is left.
When I have to hear the LI Express dad scream HIT 'EM constantly t2from 3 fields away, all I can think of is someone need ls to hit him.

Agreed, but it won't spill over to the sidelines because anybody who is familiar with the situation knows it is all garbage. And the anonymous coward wouldn't dare say anything in public. It's amazing that there is no mention of all the good things he says, to players on both teams, during and after games. Keep the GC Drama in GC and away from Express. Unless you want to start a thread about the nonsense that goes in GC34, keep your vitriol you yourself.

I'm sorry you feel that way. The last time I checked, hitting in lacrosse is a fundamental part of the game. And as our boys grow, physical play becomes a bigger part of the game.

Go back to baseball or tennis if you don't like it. The man is simply cheering on his sons team.

And how many parents have yelled, "c'mon ref, call something"? That's not abusing the ref in my book.

Jealousy can be ugly. Just remember, it's YOUTH lacrosse. Try to not get so worked up because your sons team isn't enjoying as much success as his sons team is.

That's a shame if true. Town teams competing against travel teams only makes the town program better for the long run when it really matters in high school.
It does not matter how many "good" things he says. Nothing cancels out screaming many times how he wants one 12 year old to hurt another.
Twisting words. At no point did he say to hurt another. Told defense to "hit hard", which is what defense is suppose to do. Let's not dramatize it. Get a life and move on.
Too bad other Express parents essentially condone this behavior by not intervening....brings unnecessary and negative attention to boorish dad while deflecting attention from the strong play of the team. Too bad adults can't set a better example.

If that is what you think, then you are clueless to the actual game. Yes, body checks are part of the game but throwing a stick check is more of a fundamental instruction than just "hitting hard". Its not football.

Express

Smash

Outlaws
TLI

If there was a LI Club Only Tournament, I bet no one would go undefeated and anyone of the top 4 teams could win. The bottom 2 would not win it but would not lose every game.

Most grades have 2 top teams maybe 3 at best.

Yes, actually much worse. But, hopefully we can all clean up the sideline antics. The boys should be celebrated for their ability. Let's all just try to show more respect for the game, opponents and refs. It's a great game that I know I share a love for. No reason for the nonsense.

Outlaws wouldn't win a game. fl$ and a bunch of town teams better. GC, 32, CSH ...

Most grades have 2 top teams maybe 3 at best.

Outlaws would destroy those 3 town teams. Sorry this isn't last year. Outlaws can play with all those top teams and have shown it.

There is NO WAY Outlaws beat GC34 they are a much better all around team. Sorry but your team still has too many weaknesses.

Looks like you don't know lacrosse to well.. as they get older the contact lessens... it does not increase. Players become more controlled. There are no GIANT hits - but more solid physical play getting on the hips and pushing out.

I think you are confusing this sport with FOOTBALL.
I agree.. GC34 is the best town team on LI and probably can beat any of the Travel Clubs.. with the exception of Express.

Jealousy can be ugly. Just remember, it's YOUTH lacrosse. Try to not get so worked up because your sons team isn't enjoying as much success as his sons team is.



Looks like you don't know lacrosse to well.. as they get older the contact lessens... it does not increase. Players become more controlled. There are no GIANT hits - but more solid physical play getting on the hips and pushing out.


Yes, lacrosse is just a pushing sport. No hitting allowed. Guarantee my lacrosse experience exceeds your own. But I digress. The point being, it's a physical game and hitting, body checks in particular, are not only legal, but are a big part of the game. If it makes you feel better to call it pushing, have at it.
Now that's funny.
Outlaws by 7-8 goals.

TLI

If there was a LI Club Only Tournament, I bet no one would go undefeated and anyone of the top 4 teams could win. The bottom 2 would not win it but would not lose every game.

Most grades have 2 top teams maybe 3 at best.


But the top 2 would refuse to play each other.


they just did three weeks ago
As a side note - just want to warn the LAX community as the tourney season is upon us, that there are people in this world who unfortunately are stealing kids sticks at tournaments. My sons GAIT ICE stick was taken this weekend at LAX Fest and today ran into a woman at the lacrosse store who had both of her sons GAIT ICE sticks stolen as well - same sticks, same tournament (during the 5th, 6th and 7th grade games on Sunday morning).
Get the word out and make sure nothing is left unattended so this doesn't happen again. It's a real shame because these sticks are not cheap and mean a lot to these kids.

A moron for sure and I am from GC. GC34's goal is to try to be competitive with the top travel teams. Winning games and tournaments is not the goal for our program but getting better each week and bridging the skill gap is. The ultimate goal for our program is to provide the GCHS JV and Varsity teams with players that will compete at the highest level and ultimately play for a county, LI and state championship with their friends representing their town. When these boys look back in 10 years, do you think they will remember a championship t-shirt from when they were in 6th grade or a county, LI or state championship that will be remembered for a lifetime.

There is NO WAY Outlaws beat GC34 they are a much better all around team. Sorry but your team still has too many weaknesses.


Can GC34 beat United because Outlaws did. people said the same thing before that game too.

Wow you guys are gonna hang on that one game forever. We all know United will win that game 8 out of 10 times. You just lost to a B team in Hershey. Go win against some real teams.
The GC34 team is average at best, in a NJ tourney they went 1-2 to other town teams. The best GC 34 team is 2021, 2020 team is a very dismantled, 2021 has 4-5 solid kids the 2022 does not have any top kids that could any of the top travel teams. They tried but did not make any of the top teams that is why they still play for their town team.

Did the douchey parents on your team get that memo b/c their screamin and crying on the sidelines would imply they didn't get that memo. And the four jackass dad coaches that cry every game...they got that memo also?

You are a comedian too!! So you are saying that GC is the only town around here that cares about the development of their JV and varsity program? You're really crazy. My kid will remember things from his travel team and from his town team - great memories all around . He is also making friends outside of his town that he will have for years to come and will even probably cross paths with again in the future. But it's okay, stay in your bubble and keep your kids in there with you. Best of luck

1 goal game against the only team in MD to beat the Annapolis Hawks who are the top team down there. If you want to say they are a B team what are you.

No bubble. But if there are enough boys in town to play at a high level why would you need to go outside to a travel team. How many towns can do that? I agree if there were only a handful of boys on the town team that could play at a high level it wouldn't be feasible and playing on a travel team would be the only option, but that isn't the case with some of the stronger towns with a large lax presence.

Agreed, 1000%! There's good in both schools of thought, but kids develop most by being challenged. The club lax experience, "if you can find a good one", challenges kids by getting them outside their comfort zone: new coaches, teammates, and friendships.
Town hall has its place, but so does club ball.
How did GC do against Manhasset, Cold Spring Harbor, Farmingdale, Northport and Three Village?

I read this site now and again because my kid plays 2022 and I like to hear what is going on and what is being said. It seems very 'angry' for reasons I don't understand but there were two observations I would like to make from the Long Island Lax Festival.

The first is parity. A very good United team tied twice in pool play; they are well-coached and the goalie is the best I've seen. Superstars had some very strong / big players and represented very well. Prime Time played extremely strong and is moving in the right direction. Igloo did not lose in pool play but lost by 1 to Smash, which lost by 3 to Mad Lax, which lost by 4 to Igloo. Express was not there, unfortunately. As the kids get bigger and stronger, the talent will continue to improve and ALL teams should benefit.

The second was the officiating. Evidently there were many tournaments on Long Island over the weekend and not enough referees to go around, which really hurt the tournament in my view. Many games got out of hand because no calls were made and several kids had to be carted off the field. That is terrible and needs to change as the game grows. There is no excuse for bad parenting but it is no surprise that tension was high as the games got chippier and there was no discipline. That was the only real issue in an otherwise great weekend with great weather and great teams.


Long Island should be very proud of the 2022 Class. There is a ton talent at this age group. These teams are traveling up and down the east coast and winning almost every tournament against MD,PA, MA teams made up of mostly older kids (born in 2003). I for one love the parity at this age and and look forward to when my son's team plays one of the other good teams. Let's stop the name calling and enjoy the quality of lacrosse we are watching because it's going to be over in blink of eye.


Let's also stop the chip on the shoulder about the "mostly older kids." You have no idea how many of the kids were born in 2003. And, even the ones that were... it is at most, a four-month difference. Get over yourself.


I do know because I talk to the MD Parents who are usually very nice and they tell me that more than 50% and sometime as much as 75% are born in 03. It's not 4 months many of their kids are born mid to late 03 and most of our kids are born mid to late 04. Look at the Size difference and watch them run, i guarantee they are more than a year older than our kids. That being said I am very proud of the LI Boys for basically winning every 2022 tournament.


In Maryland if your kid is born Sept 1, 2003 to Aug 31 2004 he is class of 2022. That is the law. They will all be 17 or 18 upon graduation. The majority of states have same rules. If you don't like it, don't enter 2022 tourneys, stick with age based.

Maryland rough riders not a B team. They are lower tier AA but moving up, and beat Hawks 2022 in spring league play. So I would say that Hershey was battle of the lower tier A teams
Next week, garden city vs the lizards, i should be a blowout for GC.
Not well enough to be considered even with the top club teams.
Hanging on to what? United will probably win 8 out of 10. So what. Outlaws will be competitive in every one. That's the whole point. They have been competitive with every top team so far. Express would win 8 out of 10 times against smash,united, and igloo. Does that make them bad teams? No. They're all good including outlaws.
Express doesn't win 8 of 10 vs those teams. All close games with those 4. Deez Nuts played them close everything this year. United beat them in spring and lost at the horn at E8. Let's not hype express to something they're not.

ok now your talking crazy. Express is head and shoulders above all those teams and a few other parts above Outlaws. Can we all just agree that Express this year is the best 2022 team period! The rest are very good and the Outlaws can play with these teams but will fall short most of the times.
I agree that Express has at least one very unreasonable parent who needs help....

No. It's June. I would crown anyone "the best" of the 2022 for summer 2016. Lot of games left to be played.
GC town team the best????? That is funny. They are good but losses to the top CT. town teams and jersey and they are in the mix with Port, CSH, Smithtown, 3vill, N'port and manhasset--the top LI town teams.

If express comes out of young guns with the 'ship, give them the crown. No other big tournaments with all the major clubs after that one.

Anyone have any idea when this TriStar Schedule for this weekend will be released?

Maybe the Outlaws B team. Someone really has no clue but don't worry the schedule was released. We shall see.
Tri star this weekend. Smash gets another shot at express. Outlaws get a chance to show they are more than a B team. Not a ton of competition otherwise.

I love reading some of this crap. Smash will have another shot at Express but Outlaws prove more than their a B team. It is ridiculous. They beat United. Lost to Express by a few goals when it seems no one can beat them this year. Lost to Smash by 3. Played a tough championship game losing to the Roughriders by 1 in a championship game but you have the nerve to question whether they are an A team. They are an A team. Yes competition isn't great but there are MANY A TEAMS COMPETING.

My guess is that Smash & Express beat everyone but each other by 5 or more.

Top 4 Town teams on Long Island are;
1. Manhasett
2. NPT
3. Port
4. Smith

These 4 teams are very close and have 1 or 2 dominate players. GC is very good but does not have a dominate player.

GC would be 5th.

GC beat Port this year in PAL by 4 so there goes that argument.

All due respect, GC, WM, Bay Shore all are good teams. But not at the same level as Manhasset, N Port, PW and Smithtown. If you've been around these teams, you know this already.
Not saying the rankings are etched in stone, but given the last 2-3 years of results in open competition, the top four are pretty accurate, imho.
I'll reiterate that the 2022 class on Long Island has a lot of fun talent to watch. MD too!
Good kids, parents and coaches, for the most part.
Let's keep it fun for all and clean up the sidelines. #respectthegame

These 4 teams are very close and have 1 or 2 dominate players. GC is very good but does not have a dominate player.

GC would be 5th.



GC beat Port this year in PAL by 4 so there goes that argument.


Smithtown beat NPT twice this year. [/quot

Again, Bay Shore best both!

I love reading some of this crap. Smash will have another shot at Express but Outlaws prove more than their a B team. It is ridiculous. They beat United. Lost to Express by a few goals when it seems no one can beat them this year. Lost to Smash by 3. Played a tough championship game losing to the Roughriders by 1 in a championship game but you have the nerve to question whether they are an A team. They are an A team. Yes competition isn't great but there are MANY A TEAMS COMPETING.


My guess is that Smash & Express beat everyone but each other by 5 or more.


Smash and outlaws looking dominant while express scared by prime time. Outlaws get their shot tomorrow at noon against express.

What happen to Smash? No coaching catching up.
How many Express kids played? How many stood there and watched?
Well if tthe smash team was as fired up as the parents in the stands, maybe they would have won....
Those parents get themselves so overworked you would think they wanted the t-shirts...
All in all was a good game.😂😂😂😂
You play your best, just like every other top team does. So to answer your question 13 kids played most of the game. And the rest got playing time in the last 2 mins....
I saw a lot smash kids also who didn't get any playing time. But nobody questions the loosing team.... I wonder why that happens
If you can't win, start making excuses.

Is a Smash parent actually asking this? As if big Sal has ever played all his players equally. Too funny.
Heard that smash and outlaws looked "dominant". And yet, PT put up some great games and no real press. They are a solid team.

Express goes undefeated and wins another tourney.

It's NEVER "hands down", but Express is the best 2022 team on the east coast right now.

I wish there was club league play, not tourneys all the time. Long Island and MD Kids and parents don't have to travel to find good competition.

We should focus on regional club leagues and save us all a bunch of $, headaches and travel. IMHO
Express has beaten all of the 'A' teams - there are none left.

This is a great idea. A club league is needed over 3 weekends in Philly or some other convenient location for MD & Long Island to play a small season and championship. This will work for the 8 of the 10 best teams in the country and the other 2 or 3 from FL, CO, CA or elsewhere can fly-in. A definitive "national championship" would be great instead of the crappy ones being supported in OH, CO, or FL.

Or maybe Express sat their starters as Outlaws is not very good...anyway, measuring yourself based on how many more you lost by then the next best team is WEAK. Good luck with that. Outlaws is not in top 10 when considering travel and town teams.

Bottom Line - Outlaw / Express game was close until the last 8 minutes of the game. The play was closer than the score would indicate. If you were at the game you would know that.
Smash lost to them by 6

Sounds like you have no idea - you weren't there... obvious.
What is going to happen when Smash and United form one team next season? How will the players (on and off the top team) react? And how will the parents react?!?
That should be an excellent team.

What's missing from this commentary is that regardless of the scores, Express keeps winning. Whether it be against LI teams, PA, MA or MD teams.
Give those kids their due. They Beat a lot of very good teams in the last few months. By 1, or a ton. Lost to some too, but overall have been winning. BEST "team" in the 2022 group so far this year. And there are many good teams out there.

Celebrate the boys in 2022. Very talented group of kids.
Tri star update the tourney machine. What a terrbole waste
its not going to matter when they bring down the 2021's to go to the World Series.
Aren't they already excellent teams?

Trust me their will be 24 new kids waiting to be on the 2nd team in the 88+3 organization. I do see your point and agree but they wouldn't lose the money. They would lose the dynamics of two very good teams to chase a trophy. There are more competitive games other then the WSYL games during the summer.

Why do you think it's United Parents? United is winning more tournaments than they are losing and have beat express everytime they have played them except for one time in MD where Express won in the last minute.

BTW- Deez United Nutz is a great name

I am really let down by this particular board. I like to come on to get the scoop but it has become so negative. The bashing is out of control. Why can't everyone just live and let live and focus on the fact that we have some great teams and kids in this age group?? We all have our opinions but the poison needs to stop spreading

Why do you care where express finishes. If your kid is not on the team you shouldn't care. If your kid is on the team, I would hope you would be pulling for them to win Really need to get some help if you are rooting for kids to fail.
Nice of you to chime in sweet perm dad.

Diamondbacks are the toughest in the pool and express beat them by 1 earlier this year at e8. UC Thunder did not play at the aa level in the spring and is not much of a threat. True has lost to a few lower aa clubs this year and also not likely a threat.

However, you can never tell how good any team is going to be with all the guest players floating around this summer.

No this is not their first tournament of the summer. In fact they already beat Outlaws select in a very close game at the Andy Forsberg tournament about 3 weeks ago.
Here we go with empire playing in b bracket again !Lets wait to see what they do in an A bracket before u keep bashing this team
May need to rethink your analysis.

If that is Team LI's A team they should be embarrassed to play in a B tournament against all B teams. To what end? To get a W? There are so many tournaments why not play against A teams?
because we belong to the passport alliance. all of our teams will be there. don't know why u think this is a "B" tourney. look at the older brackets. some of the best teams. nothing like empire!!!

Where do you get this stuff. Smash had a guest goalie. Express did not have any guests. if you are not an express parent, why do you care.
That's true. I don't think the guest players travel.

Really? This is what consumes your free time? Move on and get over it. Nobody on here has perfect grammar or spelling because they are all in such a hurry to post nonsense!!!

That's some prediction, considering express hasn't lost 1 game or a championship yet this travel season.
I would have to say you really are pulling at strings for them to lose.
Wow it's amazing how 1 travel team can have a great year of play and all [lacrosse] breaks loose.
Well I guess that's what keeps you crazies, CRAZY !!!

MY PREDICTION FOR EXPRESS THIS WEEKEND IS
THEY TAKE ALL....
AGAIN!!!!
Win or lose they have been a pleasure to watch as has been their competition. It's a very talented grade of boys. Hope everyone has fun and gets to and from the tourney safely. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Why is outlaws select team playing in a tournament with all B teams?
4th of July weekend. Only tournament home. Why is this bothering you?
Why are you stalking the Outlaws LOSER?
Outlaws playing B teams in GC. Very few wins equals let's play in a B bracket with a couple 5th grade teams! Pat Brennan needs a sure win and a t-shirt.
No one stalking the Outlaws, paranoia will destroy ya.

Well I guess that's what keeps you crazies, CRAZY !!!

MY PREDICTION FOR EXPRESS THIS WEEKEND IS
THEY TAKE ALL....
AGAIN!!!!


Not True, Lost to United in Pro Player.
Many tournaments they could play in, great B competition, don't need an A- team. Kind of embarrassing If you are one of those outlaw parents saying that outlaws can hang with the A teams.

That was a warm up tourney. This Express team regardless of the outcome of these last two events played everyone and won. There are clearly the best team.
So that one didn't count ? Or , they weren't really trying ? Or it technically wasn't " summer" ? Please. They are very beatable and I'm sure will lose again. Nothing wrong with that. Are they the team to beat right now ? Probably . You make it sound as if they are unstoppable. They are playing good lacrosse right now

Not stalking the outlaws. We flew in from California to play in a B tournament as we know we are not good enough to play with the A teams on LI and we have held our own but it is disappointing to think that an A or A- team, certainly a dominant team in a B division would enter this tournament just for a win.

They lost ONE game in 6 tournaments, ONE! You're a clown, go troll somewhere else!
Upset tomorrow...make that at least 3 losses...

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing you're either a Smash or United parent.
Both teams are fantastic! Why can't we just focus, and enjoy the play on the field, and not the results of the games?
2022 is tremendously talented. Just let the kids play, stay positive, and enjoy the time on the sidelines. Rant over.

I guess your kid doesn't like to be hit hard. Or maybe you dont?! Boohoo.
So this pot stirrer is a Crabs dad. So sad
Rumor has it that those wearing the sweet neck lanyards of precious are stepping up their game and bringing fathead posters of precious to the fields. Keep an eye out for the matching coffee tumbler mugs.

SO TRUE! AMEN!

Not an Outlaw; not from Express. I hear that Express has a great 2022 team this year. Outlaw team has come a very long way and to spout that they are a "B" Team is simply nonsense.

All of you parents who are reliving youth through a 6th, 7th grader should get a reality check. This age group has tremendous talent across the board. What many don't realize is that these kids are hitting puberty, growing, getting stronger, and have been increasing and strengthening their lacrosse IQ. Credit the coaches, credit those parents who partake constructively with their child's lacrosse learning and development.

All of the negativity on this board transcends what we, as parents, should be teaching our children. How about using that energy to be positive to all kids so that maybe, just maybe, a generation could learn to do something to make the world a better place for THEIR kids. I find it absolutely hilarious at the looks on some opposing team's parents' faces when I exclaim "Great save, Goalie!" Or state, "Great shot!" when we lose a goal. These are kids for crying out loud! Parents have the responsibility and obligation to lead by example... start leading in a positive way folks!

Keep it fun and in good taste. Our kids will have enough drama to deal with when they get older. Let them be kids... let's give them the tools to be better lacrosse players and, importantly, better people than what surrounds us these days.

TO ALL 2022 BOYS! HAVE A GREAT REMAINDER OF YOUR SEASON!

Have a safe and happy July 4th, everyone.

Express did not have any guest players, maybe that's why the were beatable?
Hawks beat Express to knock them out of Young Guns with 2nd loss in two days. Hawks deserve a mention as an elite team also. As does express and Diamondbacks and smash and igloo and probably a few other teams that aren't on this radar. And by next season, it will be different as they kids reach puberty. Lets all root for parity because that is how the kids will get better. Good showing by Maryland programs this tourney

and maybe they are just 12. after 28 consecutive wins, they should be proud of themselves. the one guest player did not make a difference for two plays. maybe the age difference doesn't help or maybe it's the refs or maybe just maybe the teams are all good. you need an excuse. there are no excuses. but if it makes you feel better, keep grasping
Hawks over Diamondbacks. Will play Igloo in the championship.

So you're saying he can't be beaten by any faceoff kid in 2022? Curious as to which pole shut him down? I thought he looked good this weekend. Also curious as to why you're scouting 6th graders weirdo???

Refs were completely biased toward the NY teams. 10 penalties to 1 in one game. Pretty pathetic just to say you won. Happy 4th.

You must have been one of those parents taunting the players during the games.
Great lacrosse this weekend. It remains clear that certain programs are more liberal than others when it comes to set rosters for the season or age limits at the tournaments. I don't agree with those tactics but it is not for me to decide. I just hope it doesn't take a serious injury for administrators to adopt stricter and more consistent standards. Again, great lax, great kids and for the most part, great parents. There are a few teams from MD and LI that should be really proud of their programs.
Express was missing starting middie and another starting middie played on a sprained ankle. Do with that what you will. Hawks was the best team this weekend. Speaks to the talent in the grade.

There were a couple good refs, but many didn't know the rules or just didn't care. No bias - just incompetence.

man this site is full of cry babies and excuses .. All summer long like every summer at every tournament from Florida to NY, refs are an issue. the good refs are spread thin and the elite refs are doing High School showcases.. get over it. every team this weekend had at least 1 game that wasn't called great.
Bad news! Refs aren't better on HS showcases. Same guys standing on mid field unsure about what rules you are playing by!
Officiating was bad for all teams. Hawks was the best team this weekend. Congrats to them. There is a bunch of talent at this age group. Most games can go either way. I'm glad the games were competitive. Express parent.

Thanks for making the trip, Long Island folks ! You have a great team, and we are grateful you come down to play.
Stop it. one player should not make that much of a difference especially for a team that uses guest players. Parents who make excuses teach their kids to make excuses.
No excuses. Well played game by both teams. Hawks earned the win and congrats on the championship.
So what teams have had the best summers?

Any teams outside of Long Island and Maryland making any noise?

NXT Cup this weekend. 26 teams in the A Division from all over. No Express or Hawks, but the NY/MD 9/1 teams, Igloo, DBacks and some good PA Teams. LI & MD are far ahead in terms of skill at this point. Expect one of the 9/1 teams to win it.

Don't sleep on Freedom (with the Philly home cooking) or Eff Ell Gee (much improved this year).
Agree. We played Freedom in MD and they are solid.

While much improved this year, Eff Ell Gee doesn't break into the top echelon just yet. While they have some talent, they're just not as competitive as the other top LI teams; Express, Smash, United, Igloo, Oulaws are all more well rounded teams. Good luck to ALL of the boys/teams.
91 MD will win it.

Express definitely the team of the year unless there is a total collapse in the next couple weeks.
Express got beat twice this last weekend.
What does last weekend have to do with them beating all the MD teams all spring and summer?

it's still summer express last weekend to 2 very good teams.
Also lets not forget that they don't have their "star" player anymore. Unless they pick up someone else to replace him

Play days and scrimmage don't count, Sparky.


But last weekend did.


Why would you count full field turf games with real timers and great refs when you can count all the games on crappy uneven tiny grass field and inconsistent horrible refs.

A game is a game. You can put the asterisks anywhere you want.

Games where the refs hate us and we don't have everyone healthy and are missing guest players don't count either, Sparky.

Yes they have. And it's no knock on any team of 12yr olds to lose to other good teams. Consistency over the entire season is the key though. And Express has been the most consistent 2022 team this year. Up and down the east coast. Did they blow every opponent out? No. Did they withstand some great pressure moments to pull out well earned wins over other top teams. Yes they did.

Sling the "guest player" arrows, but those players never contributed significantly because they were not afforded many minutes to begin with.

Any talk of who's going to win what future tourney is just quotes from jackassville.
That's why they play the games. Stop blaming it on refs, holdbacks, guest players, dirty rotten cheaters. Just let the boys play. Hopefully, we get to see some good lacrosse and the boys have fun and grow.
Are u finished having a conversation with yourself. And quoting dates is sad and shows that u have NO life. Go get one!
I was referring to the comment they lost their best player.
I don't get it. A game is a game

agreed, a game is a game. parents getting frothy about their son's team's success or lack there of is childish. please go to bed and grow up.
Best part is... I have a hunch all the negative slingers will be at tryouts. White kuckled, tense and yelling go!

Good luck this weekend to the 4 teams representing LI this weekend at the NXT Cup.

Where are Express and TLI if they're not at the NXT?

Igloo, United, Diamondbacks , and 88+3 MD only teams without loss or tie. Smash loss surprising. Otherwise petty much as expected.
NXT a solid tourney. Rain delay(s) notwithstanding a very good day for youth lacrosse. Will be fun watching this class evolve as the talent is outstanding.
Nxt-fields were great. That's about the only good thing about tournament. 12 minute running time halves. Terrible. Find a better way. Refs were not very good. (Same old story) Not a great tournament.
Back to 22 min halves today. Should be a good day

Shortened games because of rain.
4 LI teams (United, smash, GC, igloo), 2 philly (mesa, freedom) and 2 md (88+3 md, dbacks) teams in playoffs.

Always great w excuses. All teams had same bad refs and same time in games. They didn't stop the game in the middle , you knew it was 24 minutes when you started.
Correct. Last week, express lost 2 games...excuses. This week smash loses. Excuses. Maybe there is a lesson here. The kids are 12 (most of them). Let them learn how to lose with dignity so they can win with dignity. You don't here the MD teams complain.
I'm sorry. Did I miss where someone posted an excuse? The poster simply said the games were shortened because of rain. Not "they lost because of this or that". Stop hunting for trouble....often times you won't like what you find.

Since you have so much time on your hands why don't you go back through the last 179 pages of posts and find one time when Smash posted an excuse. Looking forward to seeing what you find. My guess is you won't find one.
Not true. Truth must hurt.

No ship today!! Just lost 8 5 to Diamondbacks . Their parents were rooting against fl$ game before!! Sore losers? .
This team will implode. Parents can't take it. Was bad enough when just United was better!!

Go away smash daddy. You had "your time" in the sun. You and your obnoxious parent friends give LI a bad name. No class when your boys were winning all the time, and now you just can't handle mediocrity. It's been a joy watching the implosion.

The complaining of tournament was right between the post of smash losing and parents cheering against team that beat them. Are you saying maybe it was a random non smash parent that jumped in middle of those posts to make excuses randomly? I guess it's possible.
1) why would any parent want their kid to play on a team that brings in guest players?

2) don't the parents of guest players feel embarrassed that precious bumped a kid that's been practicing with the team since last fall? How do they stand on the sidelines with parents who have been there all year?

No one was too thrilled about it. I know for a fact that 88+3 MD flew in a kid from Texas. So everyone does it.
Smash kid ejected from game taking cheap shots when his team was about to lose.

the igloo parents faces were priceless! lmao! hopefully your kid isn't one of the few getting cut next year
no you are wrong. Garden City was a pure 2022 team with no 'guest' players. United and Igloo too, from what our son tells us. Express, Smash, Hawks, Diamondbacks all great teams but not pure rosters.

it depends what environment you want your son in. there is no right or wrong but there should be a way to keep the playing field even when some of the players are twice as big as others.

expect to see a lot of different helmets at various tryouts this year, and a lot more teams stepping to compete at the highest level.

Pick your team and stay with same kids the whole year. Win and lose as a team. Bringing in guest players is wrong and parents that accept it should be embarrassed. Wont say anything because your too afraid that your son will get cut in August. Funny!
Smash had no guest players were actually down 2 FYI

guest goalie
I guess that backfired
Should be a fun couple days of training and play at NLF showcase. Good for some of the boys to get a chance to mix it up with other players that they have competed against this year and socialize in a different setting.
So I see Outlaws select didn't do to well this weekend at NXT. Going 2-1-2 in this tournament is weak. Congrats to United for taking the ship though!!

United vs express this Saturday at SBU. Express has been the best team this summer but United has won 3 tournaments in a row. Should be a great game. Vegas has it at a pickem.

I called Vegas.. not true... Express is favored by 3 goals.
practice this week against a ZONE defense. Not a great way to teach the boys the game. Great way to get a Tshirt..lol

Not a great way to teach game? Why not? Get older kids to just run by younger kids teaches a lot! Learning to run plays , cut and shoot w room isn't teaching ?

Watch a HS or College game and see what they run.

I couldn't agree more. It's a sport we love, kids we love. Somehow, some of the parents on the sideline lose sight of this and it spills into this forum.

That said, two issues are the hot button topics that should be addressed. Holdbacks and guest players have to stop.

If teams held themselves accountable to these two standards, I bet a lot of the snide bickering on this board would greatly diminish.

Let the boys play. Root for the opposing teams players when you see a great play made. It's common good sportsmanship.
You all are hysterical. Seriously a sickness!!

There has been a lot of great games this year. Everyone beating everyone. Good tournaments and bad tournaments for all. The top teams can all beat each other any given weekend! Who cares about a zone or man, or guest players , or hold backs . To each their own. Let the boys go out and compete and play to get better. This age group 2022 is a very impressive group! Exciting games all over. Win or lose the close ones either way teaches way more then the 10-1 games and way more exciting! Good luck to all teams in the NLF and whatever tournaments your team may be playing in!
None that I know of

Good coach will adjust to a zone in a single time out!! Teaching kids to whine about it on Twitter is a lesson as well. Not the kind I would want my kid to learn.

They will NEVER take the next step. They do not change their roster. They will always be a good team but next level will not happen. The only way to get that much better is to recruit some stud players off the other teams!

Is the Nlf schedule out? Who's in it?


Schedule is up on Tourney Machine. Not nearly as good a turn out at Super Series. No MD teams at all. Express, United, and Smash get to go at each other again.
If the rumors are true and United and Smash combine, there will be a good number players looking for a new home, can Express carry another 10 kids increasing their roster to 40 something?
no smash kids heading to igloo...the ones that live close to the hub...
[quote=Anonymous]If the rumors are true and United and Smash combine, there will be a good number players looking for a new home, can Express carry another 10 kids increasing their roster to 40 something?

If you count special guests they have far surpassed 40
I know 40 is an exaggerated number. Look at their championship photos. They have 27. Alittle too much but not far off. And as far as Smash , United making one team and cutting the rest is crazy. They have two solid teams. Maybe switch a few kids around and they still have two very solid teams. Outlaws are good . Seen them play. Igloo is Igloo. Any other gossip ?

They are forming another A team at the age between the age group.
If you are not teaching how to play a zone or attack then you are behind the game and not up with the game. Its part of it and an effective tool and contributes to the lacrosse iq of both the defenders and attackers. No excuse. invest the time and teach. Perfect counter to the one monster kid that runs through everyone in the early years... a tool in the tool belt.

Shh, let him go. This is comical. Maybe if Jr. was one of those "40", or perhaps one of the "dozens" of guest players, Mr. Bitterwood would see things differently. Oh well, we can all just sit back and enjoy the show.

You are bitter - go away! Your kid got cut or you decided to leave and you are bitter because you regret your decision. Outlaws absolutely improved this year. Played all the top teams well - beat some and hung tough with others. They have already taken the next step. The Roster turned over this year compared to last year. Team already has stud players.
If I have to reply to a ridiculous comment then yes I did count.. Didn't take long. Quicker then it took for u to reply that. Have a nice day.

May seem like a lot of work for someone like yourself, but counting to 27 for most is pretty easy!!

Your a funny guy. First of all my kid never tried out for Outlaws so stop assuming. Second Outlaws played the top teams in ONE tournament, lost to Smash and barely beat United. No have ducked all the competition all season long so STOP saying you took the next step!! Your an average team with a lot of holes!

You really have to stop with the Outlaw ripping. They are a solid team who are a few players away from being a contender.


Outlaws are by far most Improved. Lets see if they take the next step


They will NEVER take the next step. They do not change their roster. They will always be a good team but next level will not happen. The only way to get that much better is to recruit some stud players off the other teams!

Wrong.. big guy... so you must be a bitter United Parent. The lowly outlaws actually beat your team... embarrassing if you ask me. Outlaws played Express at least 4 times this season... I would say that is not the definition of ducking when you play the best team in 2022.

May seem like a lot of work for someone like yourself, but counting to 27 for most is pretty easy!!

It is the most phony social setting you will find
Yes a sea of 91 and express helmets 1 or 2 igloo in the mix good group from Long Island
Just dripping with cynicism. I was there last year and met some great people. It made the atmosphere on the sidelines that much more enjoyable this past season.

I don't doubt there some phonies, but let's not broad stroke the entire crowd. Try to keep an open mind, even you might make a new friend this week.
Friend may be a stretch, but we all could be a bit more civil. Most of the kids were able to do so. Maybe parents can learn lessons from the boys.

The camp is in MA loser!
To my friend at the Outlaws. I don't have to rehash the scores. The closest you came to Express was 5 goals. You barely beat United and lost to Smash you lost a few to TLI before finally beating them for championship in a B tournament. So you have NOT turned any corner your team is a solid B+ team but will not get to the next level with the current team you have!

With that theory, I guess kids don't improve

Now you are scrambling for excuses... you said Outlaws duck the top competition... but we played every single top team on Long Island and several from MD. We played Express 4 times.. Now that you lost that argument - you are looking at scores. If you were at the UNITED game you would know that the game was not as close as the score would suggest. Our team is fine and packed with top talent. You know it and it scares you because you likely left the team over the past 2 years only to ride the bench where you are or lost to us and need to trash talk.

Lets see..
1. Outlaws never beat UNITED before this year.. But this year - they did... that's one corner.

2. Outlaws never beat TLI before this year... But this year - they did... 9-2.. that's another corner.

3. Going into this year SMASH was the best team on the planet.. and Outlaws only lost by 3.. should have been 33 right ??? But no- it was just 3 and they were in the game the whole time.

Outlaws turned the corner.... you must live on a dead end.
Who is this Outlaw hater? Express parent here. Outlaws are the most improved team by far. Everyone caught up to the almighty Smash. Talented grade. The boys who were great in third grade are no longer the tops. And guess what, in three years from now these boys will be caught. It's 6th grade, get a life. Big picture.

Must be one of the parent who left the team over the past 2 years.
Outlaw parent here. Speaking of parents-team king island parents are the worst, followed by united than smash. I have to say express parents were never rude or obnoxious. If our team played well they let the kids on outlaws know. They get a bad rap because they win. I thought they were gracious.

What's wrong ?
reading thru this thread is so comically and what I can only assume is a dad that is completely off his rocker. Bashing 12 year old teams that are not as up to snuff as your kids teams. (not your team) your kids team. Speaks volumes about yourself and why any one indulges these dirt bags is just as comical. LEGIT' sounds like you have serious issues that have nothing to do with your sons team. All these teams at this age group are improving one way or the other and parity comes quickly with boys in the next 2 years..

Again i'm the "Outlaw Hater" the whole point is that this the first year you have attempted to play the top teams on Long Island and from other states. You did beat United and played a pretty tight game against Smash. BUT you have not played well against a lot of other teams. If I go back you got crushed memorial day weekend in Jersey, did nothing in NXT. You are part of a B+ team but do not think that the small gains in your team equate to being mentioned in the top teams on Long Island!

Wrong.. you did not attend the games at NXT.... 2 Ties and then One loss to 91 MD (by one goal)... then 2 blow out wins day #2... Team played well - if you were not a score board STALKER you would know. But you have a beef.. I get it.
Hi Outlaw Hater !!!

How about MD Roughriders.. are they a good Out of State Team ? Didn't they beat the Annapolis Hawks from MD earlier this year ? And the Hawks - didn't they beat SMASH earlier this year ? Rough Riders beat outlaws on a goal in the last 45 seconds of a CHAMPIONSHIP about one month ago... not ducking anyone.. and hanging with better teams.

Two ties and a loss in pool play. No wins. Won two in lowest loser bracket. That's called close. Not there yet. So close to an A team is .......a B + team. That's what everyone has been saying.
How about a little respect and credit when deserved. Outlaws made great strides this year. The players and team advanced nicely. From an Express parent's perspective, the Outlaws showed improvement every game that we played this season. The notion of rankings (top teams) is nonsense, especially by people on an online forum. Look at the overall pool of players and teams in the state, in the region, in the country. Most objective and qualified people would agree that the Outlaws certainly qualify as one of the more advanced teams in the age group.

Just one question for the "outlaw hater", and let's see if you have the guts to answer: which team are you associated with? Love to know. Bet you don't have the guts to answer. If it's not express tr his year, then every other team is in the same boat as outlaws. Sorry.

Its not really your concern what team I am associated with. Its none that have been mentioned in this thread. Your team seems to be a hot topic which is good for you. Your team will stay exactly where they are unless smash and united join. If they do you will get the overflow and maybe a few scrubs from the 30+ roster of Express. If not you will stay a B+ team on the outside looking in.
Ummmm...once again wrong...lowest losers bracket at NXT played at 8:00 and 10.
Sorry stalker keep trying.
Hey Outlaw hater ,why do you even bother to come on here and continually bash the Outlaws? You are such a loser!!! Get a life and stop talking about a bunch of 11 and 12 year old boys that play on a team that you are not affiliated with. You are a fine example of what a grown up should be. I truly feel sorry for your kids, as they really don't have a fighting chance. We get that one of your kids was cut by the Outlaws and you can not get over the hurt. It is sports , its not personal but you certainly have made it personal. My son used to play for the Outlaws, was cut and we moved on. We still root for his many friends on the team. It is part of life, and a great life lesson for the kid involved. Life goes on, pick yourself up and work harder!

Rough Riders finished 8th in the Hoco league. They did have a great win against Hawks in MPLL, but other than that, their best win was against FCA (6th place HoCo).

I would not say a win over the Rough Riders was proof of becoming a top team.

If you admit your a Express parent you really are an A$$! Nothing like paying 5k for t-shirts! Express has a great 12 player team while leaving 20 kids sitting on the sideline wishing they could be playing! MC is a egotistical A$$ bag and all the parents buy into it!
You say its not anyone's concern what team your son plays for. Now you sound petty. But its YOUR concern how the outlaws are. Stipidity.

Thank Goodness you are no longer part of the team
Looks like the final weekend of play, for most. It was an excellent year of development for the 2022 age group.
Last tournament of the season. Will smash finally win a tournament? Will express bounce back? Will United win another tournament and wrestle the summer crown away from express? Will smash and United announce their merger at the end of this tournament?

Good luck to all the teams. It was a great summer of lacrosse.

Its not really your concern what team I am associated with. Its none that have been mentioned in this thread. Your team seems to be a hot topic which is good for you. Your team will stay exactly where they are unless smash and united join. If they do you will get the overflow and maybe a few scrubs from the 30+ roster of Express. If not you will stay a B+ team on the outside looking in.


What kind of low life piece of sh@t comes on here and anonymously trashes a team and then call 12 years scrubs?? You're a f@$king nobody loser, stop being a hack and come out and put a name to your rant! Better yet, come find me on the sidelines and run your mouth! TRASH-
Sincerely Proud Expess Parent!


If you admit your a Express parent you really are an A$$! Nothing like paying 5k for t-shirts! Express has a great 12 player team while leaving 20 kids sitting on the sideline wishing they could be playing! MC is a egotistical A$$ bag and all the parents buy into it!



Thank Goodness you are no longer part of this team
Amen to that
Dbags, expoop, outcasts, smush, unipole...
We get it dads...
Everyone else is catching up.

No the Hawks lost to Smash at Eite 8.

Doesn't really matter who wins or loses. All these are talented and have accomplished so much, and will accomplish so much more in the future.

👏👏👏!!! The kids in 2022 are so much fun to watch. There is plenty of talent to go around. Congrats to all teams for competing at such high levels throughout the season. Now get the boogie boards out and enjoy the downtime!
Express vs Smash for the summer championship. Good luck boys!

This is a special group of boys. It will be fun to watch them grow and develop. On any given day, each of these teams has a chance to win. Cheers to them all!
fl$ in 3D was a good tournament this weekend down in Maryland. Played at the Maryland soccerplex. It was the most beautiful sports complex I've ever seen. Every field was like playing on a golf course. Team LI took 3rd place beating Rochester FCA 7-4 in the 3rd place game. They lost to Madlax Capital in the semifinals 4-3. Madlax beat 3D Colorado 8-6 in the finals. Some very good teams that I've never seen before. Good all around tournament.

It's been a GREAT season of lacrosse. LI Express can hold their heads high, but the same goes for Smash and United. Both teams continue to compete at high levels. The LI Outlaws get my "most improved team" on LI. Some people love to hate on this team, but they have some quality coaches and players. Stick together, you never know what tomorrow brings. TLI remains a mistery, wrapped in an age bracket.
The town teams played great too! Give some credit to Smithtown, N Port, Manhasst, GC, PW, etc. It's great to see kids playing with their true neighborhood friends and not just competing but also snagging some solid wins.
Igloo continues to hang with the best, and have won some great games and tourneys along the way.
Long Island teams: kids, coaches and parents...have each other's back and LI will dominate in the years to come!
Rankings and above poster is right on!
Congratulations Express!!!

It will be a very interesting end of summer with all of the turmoil and discontent on team Smash.

Turmoil and discontent?? You're an idiot. Every team turns over parts of their roster year after year. Every team has some parents that are unhappy with their sons roll on the team. That's fact. So if you think Smash is the only team that will have players tryout elsewhere you are sorely mistaken. Turmoil or not they are still one of the best teams in the country and I'm sure there will be plenty of kids trying out in August. Have a nice day

Lol. This merger stuff is probably manifested here. However, do you think Express isn't going to add? Of course they are. All the teams are going to add. All the teams will be very good and I'm sure it will be fun to watch, again.
Good luck with that merger!
If they're one of the best teams in the country why is everyone wanting to leave this year and not years past?
Who said everyone wants to leave...everyone will be at tryouts possibly w the exception of the usual 4-5 turnover there is on every team
you have no idea what your talking about and smash played 4 games yesterday in blazing heat and short 3 players w injuries and only lost by 1 to Excpress-----thats pretty damn good
dont see a reason to leave unless you kid doesnt play
There it is, was waiting for the Smash excuses of why they lost. Same heat for everyone. And it's the Smash daddies that talk to the Express daddies about jumping ship on the sidelines. And not the subs, starting players.
Let's give it a rest. It was another great year of lacrosse for 2022. Smash and United are among the top teams in the age group. While both lost more games this year to other great teams, they have very talented players and play good lacrosse. - coming from an outsider

Yup. No merger happening is my guess. More ike Smash is taking the 4 or 5 kids they want. No fact here, just my opinion. Let be clear there.

I'm not sure, and I didn't make the rankings. But, I don't think there have been enough games between all the top MD and LI teams to have one ranking.
I'm curious to see where the MD crowd would rank their local teams though.

Great season of lax. Hats off to all of the players and coaches. 2022 has a lot of talent.

Possibly Prime Time instead of Outlaws at #5. Did they play each other?
Igloo is ahead of Diamondbacks in head to head play this year.
I read earlier that the Outlaws are the most improved team of the year. They are improved and I like watching the team a lot. With that said, the most improved team of the year is Express. Now they are on the top of everybody's lists; but last year they were just okay, and two years ago, they were just horrible. They wouldn't have even been in any discussion. They are by far the most improved team. Not even close.

So not only do you troll this board, you troll the sidelines and eavesdrop. That's a brand new kind of crazy.
Any word on this new travel club starting up, 24?

fl$ lost to Steps and Bucktown - Teams that the other teams on the list beat with no problem. Lots of teams on the list have a fluke loss, but the overall record and wins against top teams count for much more.

The major difference is the United parents have now taken the reigns over the Smash parents as most obnoxious. The behavior of the players as well
Absolutely. United players and parents should be embarrassed of their behavior.
Hmm... Let's see... Could it possibly be that they have a head coach that is a head case?
As a parent you really need to consider what you are exposing your kids too. Hall of fame or no hall of fame there is never a justifiable excuse to bully 11 and 12 year old boys!

Assuming that you are talking about smash!
He got out-coached yesterday, big-time. Credit to Smash team.

Ha! Are they really starting a 2022 team? This was started by a disgruntled back up goalie dad who wasn't happy with dedication from blue fish. Started as one team in 2024. Cherry picked kids from other travel clubs and positioned as extra reps that wouldn't conflict. Got some good players to come out from express and legcy when they weren't busy. Now trying to move into a main stream club. They have no coaches. Going to figure it out when they see they have enough players for a team. The opposite of what you want.

Blue Fish? Worst coaching in this age bracket. Not surprising
24 actually has a very experienced coach for 2022. Its on their web page.
24 going to be GC kids not happy with town program...
Thought this was interesting, a co-worker showed me the email from the GC34 program. The HS coach runs it and it will cost over $2100 to play on their town team. When you multiple that by 22 or so kids by 6-7 teams ranging from 4-9 grade not a bad money grab for him. Does any other HS program do that. He said each team gets one coach and plays in 4 summer tournaments.Wow. I assume the better kids play for the top travel teams as opposed to this or are they pressured by the program. I saw there 2022 team in Jersey play in the spring and they were not very strong but their 2021 team looked pretty good. But still $2100 is a lot for a town team, our town in Jersey runs some town team games in the summer and it costs $350 to play in 3 tournaments and we are pretty good from a top HS program, which beat GC this year.
Wow that is a lot to play on a town team, I realize they play against travel teams in tournaments but that is more than most travel teams costs. Cha Ching$$$.
igloo 3k+
express 2200+ every tourney 125
4 luv game 3k+

I'm surprised that the Athletic Director of Garden City allows this. This program is obviously very profitable and kids are pressured to play to stay in the good graces of the high school coaches. Sounds like they are using the Express/St. Anthony's/Chaminade method.
Why don't the GC parents do what the Manhasset parents did and say no, put together a group of kids enter them into a few tourney's as a team ( I think its good that they do play a few tourney's together as friends from the same town) get some pinnies wear their GC shorts and split the tourney fee's. Tourney fees typically range from $700 up to maybe $1500 per and play. There has to be enough ex lax players from town or ex lax parents who can coach and they will enjoy. I understand the Manhasset parents did this and the cost was like $250 per kid. Agree that this is a money maker for who ever is running this and don't know of the return they get. Is it a pay and everyone plays or do they play to win. I can only say that I saw the GC 34 2022 team play in a NLF tourney and get beat up by some of the better travel teams, I know the 2021 team won a few tourney's but not great comp. Do the better kids also play travel, hope so.
It's said. That's happening all over. not just one place. Gc just got called out on it. It's a shame they pay so much. I can't see that being more then -450-500. Where is all that money going. Time for the DA to get involved. Lol.

What other town has the audacity to charge over $2,000 for to play on the town team. That's completely ridiculous.

Wait until you see what express charges next year when they roll out their 2nd team in 2022 and claim it's on equal ground as team channy. They all ready sent out the recruiting pitch. I really hope these people don't fall for it. If you're not on team channy buyer beware!!!

I figure every tournament or spring season costs about $200 a pop for each kid. Add in another $200 for gear and another $200 for coaching and field time.

4 tournaments, 1 spring league, gear, fields/coaches = $1,400.

Who we be coaching the second 2022 Express Team?

The average cost of a tournament range from $20 to up to $50 a pop per kid. If there are 23 kids on a team, $200 "a pop" would mean the tournaments cost $4,600. Tournaments range from $800 to $1,500 tops. In addition, the cost to join the PAL league is nominal.
GC34 will net over $20,000 per team at his years charge of $2,100 per player.
Empires A team playing in the B
Bracket again, priceless.
What's Priceless is Empire is up and coming in all age groups and will take the baby steps to get there, a tool like you most likely thinks 3-4 good players on a team is all you need to compete and win in an A bracket. Where as Empire in all age groups in younger brackets rather play in B with patience , make all necessary adjustments , work out the kinks and evaluate when the team is ready to Be like so many clueless parents want to a "TRUE A TEAM" Yes there is two teams on paper who are separated in talent , but going head first into heavy traffic has many consequences for a team to implode before it lifts off the ground.

Run a team and then speak from an educated point. What about all the other things? Paying for fields, coached, equipment and that just to name a few..

You are NOT a B team! You are better than B so play in the appropriate division take your lumps till you get the team that can be competitive.

1. Wrong.
2. Let's remember we are talking about 12 year old boys. No need to ridicule them, their skills or playing time.
3. The parent you impugn with these statements only has the best interests of the boys in mind and does not deserve anything but appreciation for his efforts.
So the way to build a A team is to bring in a coach with his own kids bump original players off the team, sorry I didn't know is the best way to do it.

3. The parent you impugn with these statements only has the best interests of the boys in mind and does not deserve anything but appreciation for his efforts.


Your and idiot! I know for a fact this is exactly what going on because my kid was asked to play! We will NOT ever play with Express we are loyal to our current team where my kid gets a ton of playing time. ( not many t shirts but is learning to PLAY the game !)
Which Team are you referring to? Empire has Varsity coach

1. Grammar, or mastery of the English language, is clearly not your strong point. It's "you're an idiot" by the way. It takes one to know one, i.e., idiot=you.
2. The parent is not coaching the team. Your reading comprehension skills are lacking as well.
2. Loyalty. That's a funny thing in the lax world. Let me know how that turns out for you.

You're just bitter that you spent a ton of money for your kid to sit on the bench and get free t-shirts. Its a shame I'm sure your kid has skills its that you the parent wants the glory of saying my kid plays for Express and we win a lot of games!

What other town has the audacity to charge over $2,000 for to play on the town team. That's completely ridiculous.




GC34 over Igloo in Philly... enough said.
.

GC is a class act. Great kids, parents, and coaches. The win over Igloo was huge; just like when Outlaws beat United. With that said, GC plays Igloo 10 times, Igloo wins 9 (just like United and Outlaws). This was the 1 time GC wins. Please don't take this the wrong way. GC is great. And great people. But Igloo, generally speaking is much better.

$2100 for a big win. That's expensive

It seems to me the only bitter one is you.
It's not a dad coach. It's a coach who is currently coaching in the program who is very good. He would be an excellent choice to coach the B team in that program. He may have a dad assistant, but I don't see anything wrong with that.

you have no idea what you are talking about. you do however sound like an extremely jealous person. the B team would have been extremely strong this year if people didn't refuse to put their sons on the team. the amount of players trying out and the amount of talent will easily fill another very strong team. stop trying to sabotage. you sound bitter.

Well, what you heard is completely false. And let's remember we are talking about 12 year old boys here. Disparaging a 12 year, especially when you are so off target, is a pretty low thing to do.
The kid whom I believe you are targeting has contributed Mightily, while remaining humble and respectful. Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from this 12 year old. But, I doubt it!

Sorry to break it to you but every coach on every team has been a daddy coach at one time. There are few and far between who haven't. Throwing the term daddy coach out there is just an excuse for when your kid doesn't play. Grab a whistle and start your own team if it bothers you.

How is this "disparaging" a 12 year old?? All the person said was the kid wasn't seeing the field... This kid wasn't "targeted" nor was he ""disparaged" in any way. Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from the 12 year old regarding using words properly.

I see you conveniently left out t shirt collector. That's the disparaging part. Way to take it out of context. Even a 12 year old can see that.

my hobby is abusing stupid naive Express parents who put their children on a team that the poor kids don't even play. I heard its because they think MC will help them get into chaminade but they are 12. It has nothing to do with the kids its the PARENTS who can brag that their kid plays on Express. PATHETIC!!!
It's funny to see the huge change in the forums this year after Smash and Diamndbacks have finally fallen after 3 years of dominance.

Empire has played in both A and B divisions. The past few tournaments, including this weekend, there is only 1 2022 division. How is that playing in "B"? This team is improving, so yes, they are better than most "B" teams, but are nowhere near the top teams. Every game played at Hershey, except for maybe 1, was a competitive game. The team is not going in and "blowing away" teams. In these tournaments the other "A" teams, i.e. Ducks, True Blue, etc are also in the same division.

You are NOT a B team! You are better than B so play in the appropriate division take your lumps till you get the team that can be competitive.

So teams that started the same year as Empire, the Du@ck$, True Blue, etc, that have a so called A and B team, and are in this tournament are an exception? Why? Because without Empire in the bracket, your son's team wins? I'm not sure what Team your son plays for, but the games I watched in PA this past weekend were all competitive, and very close. Great players on Hitmen, Du@ck$, etc. They are a B+ team. No kid at 12 gets any benefit from "taking lumps" getting blown out by United, Smash, Express, etc every tournament. You should worry less about what other teams do and concentrate on your own sons team.
Maybe, Empire is a true "B" team, and your son is playing on a "C" team. Maybe your team needs to "take their lumps" in a true "B" bracket so they can be competitive??
Great games in PA between Empire and Hitmen among others. Fair, competitive and clean lax.

Unless your the ones giving the lumps RIGHT! I saw your team do it like 3 rimes go down from the A division to the B and win the whole thing! Its NOT fair!

Your are obviously new to the game. They have entered numerous tournaments in the A division. When the schedule is put out they mysteriously end up in the B division! Just get better that is the answer. Look at the Outlaws they use to get killed by the A teams now they are right there in the pack !

LI had cuts. But as another post mentioned, while its nice for the kids to achieved the opportunity to represent their geographic area for this event, it's late July. School and tryouts just weeks away. It's crazy. Families need to take back July and August. #laxoverloadnotsogood

Thanks Dad.

It was great to see the kids from Igloo, Express, Smash, Legacy etc all playing together. My son made a ton of new friends and what do you know the parents got along great and without incident. The event wasn't grueling and the kids absolutely loved it. Off to the beach

Why are we talking about tryouts when the whole thing is over? Let me rephrase it for all you sensitive people - the LI kids who were at the "ignored" tryouts and made the team beat the MD kids who went to the "ignored" tryouts and made the team.

Stop making excuses. Your team lost. Stop taking away from the boys what they earned by being a team. Get over it and move on

That's why they had to combine 2023 and 2022 - so they would have enough kids from some of these states to even make a team.

What are you talking about? It was posted long before they knew how many kids were coming to tryouts that it was a 2022/2023 team.
The Brine at this age is a money grab. Means nothing. Tryouts were run terribly and coaches are awful. Keep spending mom and dad!!!!

I didn't attend tryouts, but our son was selected for LI. He had a blast playing with some of his friends, some of his usual adversaries and being coached by new & different voices. Money well spent. Have a nice summer.
Let's move onward to next season tryouts shall we??!
So laughing at this thread. Lots of dad's chasing after college coaches at the Duke camp, the Brine, etc. Bottom line is good grades and lax equals playing in college. If your kid is not academic, well, better get a tutor or your kid will be at a community college.E2

No parent of a 2022 player was "chasing" any college coaches. All of the boys had fun, met some new friends, and had a great experience. Why do you care so much about what other people are doing with their kids?

lol....if they are great at lax they walk in, bottom line, have a son who did it as proof! Big time D1! Not bragging, wish he actually tried in HS, its what happens when the kid commits in 9th grade and is a beast on the field. Much is overlooked, you would be shocked!
Again, just laughing at this thread. The kids are great it's the crazy ads parents.

You really have no clue! If your son is at an elite level, he gets in. Not saying it's right, but it is true, know of plenty!
Lighten up sweet perm dad.
Joey's getting his scholarship.
Let's reflect on this year's humor.

1. Joey's dad getting squirrelly.
2. Sweet perm dad with shiny curls.
3. Hot mom's rocking neck lanyards of precious.
4. Lime green dad's with matching coffee tumbler mugs.
5. Team dad's sporting matching team shorts/shirts.
6. Stuck-up teams mom's hitting on blue collar team dads.
7. Nutty parents embarrassing their kids from the sidelines.
8. Dad's ranking 6th grade teams.
9. Commit chasers flushing money on showcases.
10. "A" teams beating your elite "AA" teams.

Can't wait for next year, but I'm sure the top 10 will be the same.

you forgot #11. guy who thinks he's way funnier than he really is annoying people who then have to make a polite "laugh" right before walking away from you.

what, you never realize why people keep walking away from you?
OK Since there is nothing to speak about on this forum let rank next years 2022 teams! I'm sure somebody will have a lot to add to this thread. First question is are the 91 teams combining? Will Express implode due to over inflated roster size? Will Outlaws finally make the necessary roster changes to get over the hump? Will Empire and Legacy finally put an actual A team on the field so we can start talking about them too? And last but not least will TLI finally fold????
TLI isn't holding tryouts, I guess they finally folded!

Don't know if they folded or not. If they did they have like 5 or 6 kids who could definitely take a good team to another level depending on were they go. Most good kids are already on established teams. Some of those kids will be in high demand.

I heard IPad dad is switching to a tablet.
#13 - Walkabout Dad - the dad who has to follow Junior along the sidelines as the teams switch sides each quarter. You know him, at least have seen his back, as he walks right over and sets up camp in front of where you have been sitting the entire game. He is usually one of the loudest, barking at Junior throughout the quarter, then strolls back at the end of the quarter to the other side of the field grumbling to himself or (#14) a TagAlong Dad or two.

Is it that bad that he wants to watch his son play . Geez . Sorry if your kid is a midfield. Hate it when Dada tell their kids when to cut or are alerting kids to things going on in the field but I will be damn if I am going to let them get the upper hand.

Wait a second, you go to a game in High School or the Pros and you don't yell "Pass" when you see the fake hand off? Parents should all sit quietly and just watch? If they saw a hidden ball trick, they should just watch silently from the sidelines? Dont think so. Coaching the kids from the sidelines is one thing, but cheering/yelling "here they come" or "watch the pick" is certainly OK.
Apples and oranges. Parents are yelling play by play from sidelines. "Cut" , "shoot" , "crease", "backdrop" just to name a few. Not just "hidden ball trick". It must bother the kids. I know my son asked me not to ever do that.

Meant "backside"
Reality - Walkabout Dad
You are only embarrassing Junior.
Just ask him.
Continuing to do it only strokes your ego.
But the opposing teams get a kick out of you and chatter when the quarter ends and you walk back to the other half of the field. Shame we only get to see you for two quarters. Keep rocking that polo collar up.
Wow. I wrote #11 to make fun of the guy who did the top ten originally. Didn't mean to keep it going.
And I don't see anything wrong with moving to watch your kid, unless he's a middle. I move with my son on defense but wouldn't sit in front of anyone after switching.

If you re constantly following a middle back and forth, ok I agree that's a little much.

How about the old lady that screams out.. "The goalie sucks!!!" True story. I've seen it.
Old Lady #14.
Criticizing dads who don't believe top 14.
Well now you guys are #15.
Enjoy your maroon Daytona Turbo Z.
Bring it to a game with your gold Seiko.
Keep the collars turned up so we get a laugh.
Living large players.
I follow my son on defense so I can get an unobstructed view. I never walk in front of anyone who is already set up - because they're trying to watch their son too. I have only encountered a problem once, in another state. Lax mom made statements loud enough for me to hear that I was at their end of the field and being there was bad manners. Ridiculous!

Moveing to Baltimore Maryland ... son is considering trying out for Team 91 Maryland 2022. It looks like the 2022 squad is pretty good. Can anyone weigh in ... any suggestions for best club team in the area?
Hold back a year and tell your child the education system is a little different down here...then figure out what club to go to...but don't make it 91, Madlax or Crabs. You'll be sorry.
Annapolis Hawks. 2022 team is good. No holback nonsense like FCA, Crabs and Looneys either.

Once Sal and Josh make the 91 super team, there will be a dozen AA players looking for a home if they don't want the "non-World Series" team. What if a group of them go to the Outlaws? Where else will they go?

Express. They will have two legitimate teams, not designed to win one tourney. But to prepare kids for HS and maybe beyond... and compete against the best teams on the east coast.

Super team ??? Really. I'm sure the same quality kids will be at a few other tryouts at other clubs . You are very dramatic.

Not to mention that it takes time to build coaching rapport, and between two coaches that have competed mightily against each other (albeit within the same club) I'd wager there would be some growing pains if this actually happens. Two solid coaches though, even if they are not everyone's cup of tea.

Are Diamondbacks being 30 minutes away too far to be considered Baltimore?

With the Baltimore beltway and 97 being a parking lot most evenings when practices are happening, I'd say yes - unless you live on the Sw side of the county (arbutus)

Just trying to prove a point! Thats all.
All they need is depth at midfield. Sons team played them a few times. Starters are good. Back ups werent. Tough team.
What was your teams best win and worst loss this past year.


Univ of MD Legend Frank Urso just named as Head Coach of Brotherly Love 2022 Team
Hopefully that is a kid writing and not a parent using "your"
Ok ??? And ???
True blue? B team? fl$? Saw neither this summer, a serious adult conversation if possible on this thread about them?

??? It's a try out and it's happening.
True Blue is NoT even a B team. One is a C and one is a D .
Let's assume for a second that there is no such thing as an AA team and that the best teams are A teams...How is express going from having an A team and a D team to having an AA and A team.

Nomenclature, I suppose. Express had the best team in the age last season so call that team the top team or AA and then this new team will be the next team, A team, Team 2, whatever... It will be a very good team with good coaching that's all I know. Hey lotsa options out there. So figure out what's best for fit. For me it's good coaching, competitive team, a lot of practice, and fun.

It will be a very good team with good coaching that's all I know. Hey lotsa options out there. So figure out what's best for fit. For me it's good coaching, competitive team, a lot of practice, and fun.


Where is the "good" coaching coming from?
Parent of a younger child looking for some advise. Should your child wear a travel helmet (one of the top teams for last year) or town helmet to a tryout. Want to go back to last years club but need to take care of him first.

You can't go wrong representing your town. Talent is the most important, not the helmet.

Absolutely wear the travel helmet. if there are lots of kids, you want them to be identifiable.

Sadly, the other travel team helmet will get more looks esecially if the team is a close competitor in talent. The coach may even take you just to hurt the other club.
No one is taking other teams players to hurt them. The better kids will be picked. If your already on that team u do have an advantage. If an Express kid is trying out for 91 that means he didn't play a lot and wants to move. Why would 91 want a non starter ??

I honestly believe at this age that coaches know who they want. Either by direct contact or pre tryout stuff. No surprises. The only suprised ones are the ones that get cut.
