Use this thread to discuss the Boys 2023-8th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Season
Props to Team LI 2023 in the Warrior All-American Games at UMass. (i know, i know, a money grab and rigged and whatever). Maybe the only time every other region was rooting for LI. After Team Mid-Atlantic beat them in pool play, the DC-MD boys continued to deploy stall tactics and pick fights and walk after goals to run out the clock with their coach proudly claiming it was within the rules. Sheesh. Nice to see LI gave them a smackdown in the championship.
What club team is Mid-Atlantic coach from?
Anyone know of S2S is still planning on having 2 teams at this age?
Anyone know the real story behind the shakeup at S2S?
Also nice to see a non stacked team-- an actual honest tryout with good kids

The shouldn't Their top team lost the majority of their games, and their second team didn't win at all. One isn't an "A" team, and the other isn't a "B"

Actually that isn’t true. There were a handful of kids that played on qualifying teams. Time to move on from the WSYL, its over cooked. Enjoy your memories, They also went the “superstar” route last year with the “superstar” coach. They didn’t win, funny things happen when you don’t bring older kids to your WSYL teams. Maybe make you a regular coach. We will enjoy the moment and move on accordingly, seems you haven’t reached that point yet.
Whats the story with Igloo A? Did they lose a bunch of players? Seems like a couple of teams fell apart after WSYL. Kind of disheartening as a team putting the amount of time, effort and money into making it to WSYL to have kids leave.

Truth, plus narcissistic owner mentality.

What does their A team not winning all their games have to do with anything? Express, Igloo, 90+1 all have A team’s that didn’t win all their games and they still have B teams. The S2S B team won a few or came close. Not terrible for their 1 st season. The Express C team is worse and they still exist.
WSYL blows the Warrior games out of the water. Shouldn't even be spoken about in the same sentence.

You know it’s two complete different type of events, right? One is a team based tournament the other is a player based tournament. You know you can’t send your team to the warrior games, right? Warrior is a fun, end of season event, much like a camp. It’s a place for kids to enjoy Lacrosse and meet new friends on the teams and play against kids from other parts of the country. You also know that WYSL and Warrior Games are run and sponsored by the same companies, right? Do you want me to end or should we keep at it?

that happens to many of the big clubs. They put these teams together for the Soul purpose, to try and win the WSYL and it breaks these teams up the following year be the The loyal ones finally see the truth, and end up leaving the next year !! WSYL is a joke. Its not for the kids, it for the CLUBS. BIG MONEY MAKER.

I'd respectfully disagree as many of the WSYL teams are not teams during the rest of the season since there is an age cutoff. Just off the top of my head:

Team Israel, Michigan, Colorado, Big 5, Evolve were teams formed from kids from several regular season clubs. Long Island is the outlier i think in having closer to pure teams since their school year lends itself more to the age cutoff for the WSYL and their talent depth on the top teams is stronger.

Additionally, I'd argue that most of the kids enjoyed the pomp and circumstance and meeting new kids and the chance to play with new kids on their own teams and other teams in the hotel and other events to be the best part of that tournament.

I don't think any tournament can compete from an overall "experience" to the WSYL but that comes with a pretty big cost as well. I personally like that there are so many different offerings for kids (some more competitive, some more about the "experience", some a hybrid). It's unfortunate that people feel the need to compare them and challenge which one is the best rather than embrace the choices and participate in the ones that fit your team/players goals

Cause Igloo is a RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. For what you pay you dont get close to that back in production(practices, coaches, etc)
From what I understand they raised their prices again and the girls program has 1 team and they are raising them 25%.....1 elite team i mean

playing time, and politics.
B.S. Who was missing?
Anyone hear anything about the rebels.
Have you guys thought for a moment that kids are leaving top programs because they want to:
1. Play with friends
2. Tired of not being able to play a second sport that they love (Most of the kids from the top teams this year played lax from early June to the end of July)
3. Parents are tired of traveling all over the place.

It depends on who you ask.
I was at the igloo tryouts did not look like they lost any kids. There were some good talent there.

Why is this stirring the pot? I think it is a valid question. If you are on a top team there are only so many choices of where you move to.

You move to another top team or stay where you are. You don't go from an'A' program to a 'B' program.

40+ Kids at a pretryout camp, I was pretty impressed with the level of talent. I accepted my sons invite, and my sons 2 friends who got invite (talented kids) also accepted, so not sure what pot you are trying to stir. Maybe your kids didn't get an invitation?

Well this has no backing, was a tryouts, and was very talent filled. Not sure who just showed up or who took spots but from the talent at the tryouts can definitely be a very solid team. My son didn't make after first tryouts but will try to make it again at the next one.

This is clearly a parent talking here. Kids want to play with friends and get on the field. You think anyone knows the bandits have a 2nd faceoff kid that's better than the coaches son or any of the other top players on that team that do not play. Parents need to listen to their kids and not their own selfish pride. Your player on a top team cannot be seen or get better sitting the bench.

The prices some of these clubs are asking for is crazy. What's even more crazy some will give whatever is asked, no questions asked.

B team struggled as it's their first year. Needs to improve at most positions. Everything was well organized. Training was very good. We liked the coach. Not sure why he left. My hunch is the team he went to will be practicing closer to home/work. My sons liked him. Dont know anything about the new guy. My son is going to try changing to middle so not sure what teams he'll make after all the tryouts. heck be trying out for s2s again.
I hope everyone find the right team for their son this year. They are 8th graders now. Some will be on MS teams, some JV, Some Varsity, They need to be playing period. Riding the bench to be on an A team is notIntelligent..
I hear S2S upgrading at attack.

No. You go where your kid sees the field so he can play.
Tryouts should be wrapping up shortly. Hope everyone got (made the team) they wanted. it's so true, many people say field time is important at this stage of the game. What sense does it make to be on a team and never see the field other than practices. Remember before you accept that invite, ask questions. Many of the top organizations have coaches that are "snake oil" salesmen. listen to what they say. Many times their sales pitch will not complete a full circle.
Good luck!

Heard what from all the top teams? How are you so plugged in to every organization??
I wouldn't say I am dialed into every organization. Having had 4 kids go thru the process. I would say you get to know who is who.
All good programs just a lot of movement at this age.
Express willing to stir the pot and bring on new kids to disrupt what wasn't broken. They are the top 2 teams and did a great job. Igloo is a very solid organization and wouldn't count them out. 91 sits at the top with a good coach. Let's keep the tourneys on the island.
I can't believe the large increase in tuition for many clubs. Express, Igloo, 91. I think 91 made the biggest jump. The Bandits are one thing, but paying Bandit money for 91's second team is out of the question. If Wolfpack wins WSYL I can only imagine what it will go up then. To each is own!
Thanks Obama!

That wolf Pack team a mess. Like the Smash , United team when they combined, but the tuition will still go up. Heard there was no Helmets included as well
When there are more teams than players its time to short them. I'm creating an ETF made of Igloo, 91, Shore to Shore, True Blue, Recon, Express, Rebels, Outlaws, Sharks, Legacy, Igloo B, Express B, 91B, 91 C, Shore to Shore B, Bluefish, Dodgers.,Fast Break, Millon, .....and shorting it.

That's a great idea. Please let me know what the symbol will be listed as so I can make some money off of this too. On the other hand you clearly believe no one is offering anything to separate themselves from the others so are we headed for a Lax market meltdown?

Truth is I wish the smaller clubs would get together and form A and B teams and tournaments at a competitive price. If they are not talking about it I hope they do not for my kids case but because 91 and Express has a strange hold on the market with their NLF and 91's MyLacrosse Tournaments

It's time for a revolution .

It really does not matter which club you sign up for. If you attended any of the national tournaments like Millon or NLF teams hand out uniforms in the parking lot to guest players from teams not playing or eliminated. No coaching anymore just more recruiting
The symbol is LXRO. It stands for Lax Rip Off.
Express has done an incredible job collecting some of the craziest parents going. My guess is Chan has found another revenue stream selling tickets to the sideline show.
Express = very good recruiting + mediocre coaching = a lot of wins but not much improvement in players performance. So what’s the point.

The revolution is coming. The amount of money some parents are forking over for their kids to play lacrosse is ridiculous. Wait until one of these mommies drop a sexual harassment lawsuit against the coach/organization.

Huh.......revolution???.....sexual harassment lawsuit???.........I know, I got it.........this is CNN talking
Russian collusion with teams
Apparently Rebels made the right move and parted ways with some of their weaker players... definitely had a lot of talent at the first camp. Think there will be some surprising moves of top players to the Rebels. Think they will surpass S2S and True Blue this year and compete with Igloo. Think Express/91 have separated themselves as top 2.
Who do you think will have the best Fairfield County team for 2018/2019, now that the tryout results are posted for Eclipse, LIE North and 2way. What are your thoughts on size of team (# of players), skill level, coaching, politics? I know it's too early to tell, but I'm just wondering if anyone is hedging bets.

How does a first year organization shed its weaker players?
Hahahaha! Better get out and vote on August 14 or we will lose even more players to red states and none of this will matter!

Thanks Rebels director. Give it up. The rebels will be weak. They will definitely not compete with 91 or Express Haugen.

How much is 91 tuition now?

You may get a better response if you ask on the westchester thread.
I heard Igloo lost 4 top players to Express Haugen any truth to this?
Bandits and Express A are the two best teams in 2023. None of there top players are going anywhere. You may get an Igloo or S2S kid swap teams or tryout for the other two and may make it but those four teams are the top. Any other team in 2023 are what the are they won't compete with the top four, thats the reality of it. There is not one top player from those four teams looking to play anywhere but on those teams. After those four you have TB, Warriors, Rebels/Outlaws, Empire etc... (No Particular Order) Hope all the kids had good tryouts and all they are happy where they end up, good luck and have fun.

Shows how delusional and ignorant you are. Now that wsyl is over there are a bunch of kids that left Igloo, Express, 91, and S2S to play together and have FUN. You'll find out soon enough Clark Kent.

How do you put the rebels as one of the top teams when they never played a game and don’t know who’s on the team.
Are these the kids that went to the rebels.

S2S is in turmoil. DK was fired. The word is players are leaving. They will fall, True Blue now in the top 4.

Shows how delusional and ignorant you are. Now that wsyl is over there are a bunch of kids that left Igloo, Express, 91, and S2S to play together and have FUN. You'll find out soon enough Clark Kent.


And I'm sure they won't be missed, good luck this season I hope you have.a good experience on the turtles....scoop.

No surprise. History just repeating itself. DK fired AGAIN and TH ruins yet another lax club. Better off at a stable club with consistent coaches that will be around through graduation.

Nobody from True Blue was asked to play on the new tristate supergroup? Are they going to DUKES?
Express top team took 30 kids? Good luck with playing time
Will someone on S2S please give a truthful update? What is deal with top team? I know some top players jumped to Express. But who is coaching? Is this normal unhappiness or something worse? Would like to know before bringing son to tryouts.

Worse, but go down to tryouts they need all the help they can get. All other teams are done with tryouts.
S2S attack is going to be lethal

Yes all other top teams are done with tryouts so they either knew who they wanted or never thought players would leave the team. It will be hard to replace the players that left even if they did not play much with top players who will move the needle in a direction for them because those players have all committed to other teams.

DK is no longer coaching and Rooney is the HC. Great coach but late tryouts could be a problem if looking to add or replace any players that left.

Reh brothers running the show and they are awesome. Scott is highly organized and professional and has the ideal resume to make this a success. They had some of the best Team Long Island teams when they just coaches and now started this. I hope they get a decent talent pool, because they will put out a great product. Plus they know everyone in the sport.

If you get Rooney, do not expect much during the HS season...just saying.
Does anybody know anything about the Mad Dog West team that went to the WSYL?

Not organized? You will have a practice and tourney schedule in the fall. Winter training is the same day, same time every week. Not sure what you mean but every year it is in flux. They started 3 years ago with 1 team and made the WSYL. Someone did something right. If you told me 3 years ago they would have been in Denver I would have laughed. I don’t have a kid on the team but they are doing something right. They just added teams at other age levels and some were very successful this year. Sounds like you have a personal issues with this team.
Is S2S looking for goalies? My kid looking to potentially move.
S2S 2023 does not have another name, that is their name.

Fake news. Only heard of 1 high maintenance player (high maintenance parent) that is leaving. So sorry to disappoint all of the haters that would love to see this team fail, but these boys will be back together in the fall, stronger than ever.

every team has people who hate them for a myriad of reasons. this is one of them. i agree, they are probably one of the more organized groups out there. you can hate personalities if you want but bark up the right tree with your supposed gripes.

Only 1 player, he just happened to be your faceoff guy and the kid with the best shot on the team Now that he's gone he was "high maintenance" Classy response

Braking News....... 91 and Express just lost a few of their better players. What is going on with the lacrosse scene? Are times changing and the new breed is coming in?
Did everyone just disappear?

High maintenance? I guess a person should just sit back, pay the tuition and not question a dam thing? You (son) sound like the one the coach thinks the sun rises and sets on...It's going to come a time when your son isn't a favorite of the coach, then you will be singing a different tune.

Without the FO kid I doubt it. Didn’t fair so well in Denver without him. And he won’t be the only one. DK gonna take his boys with him. Good luck in the fall.
Lots of express helmets at S2S tonight. Igloo b had a defender and goalie hoping for an upgrade. Several fl$ helmets. Guess the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
DK owns part of the program, not going anywhere, just coaching a couple of the younger teams now. Rooney taking over to take the team through high school. They lost 2 key players to Express - a middie (not the main fogo)and a close defenseman. Losing players to other programs is not unusual at this age. I’m sure S2S will find some upgrades at other positions as well, that’s how it works.

Also have heard Express added about 6 new boys but did not cut any returning boys, which would put their roster close to 30. Last I checked, there is still only one ball on the field at a time. Playing time and touches going to be even more difficult for a team that was plagued with those issues last year.
The fo kids parent has no clue about the game and is the blowiest blowhards. The new team will rue the day.
Mark my words, S2S will be the team to beat .... great organization with great coaches.

The B and C Express teams all carry a huge roster. There are many kids that never play. Parents should ask that before they commit to any team. Any more than 25 is ridiculous ( and 25 is pushing it)!
Amateur..... who knows nothing about 2023.
LOL....
Why do parents think they know all about every team on LI, CT, MD, VA, CA, IL..... unless you are a club owner and have an axe to grind with another club.....
Just do your homework.....
Some clubs are actually not for profit......have field connections which keep costs down....and other perks.
While this site can be entertaining.......it provides almost nothing to build integrity for any team. Just a shark tank for gossip and angry parents.
College coaches are not after any of our 2023's yet!!!!!!!
Peace out.....

I don’t know about teams off LI but not many are trying to keep the costs down on LI. An organization like Express has lots of connections which should help with field space yet there cost is nuts nd they fill rosters with ridiculous numbers and field extr teams that can’t compete. They definitely aren’t not for profit. Even the charge for tryouts I nuts. But everything is a choice. My kid will never play for Express for that reason alone!

As for the entertainment, it totally is. If you don’t like it you don’t have to be here. Anyone that comes here thinking this is the best place for actual facts is delusional.

Crazy S2S can't replace top players with B players from Express and expect to be better. More than 2 players from last years team are gone.

Best S2S righty attackman also left for Express 2024
New team getting talented player with great parents. Try not to confuse caring about your kid with jealous complaining - ‘my kid neads more playing time’. By the way, who speaks that way: ‘blowiest braggart’ and “rue the day”??? You sir are an a$$. Good luck, the team took a step backwards.

What new team?


The new team is the one with 30 kids that’s getting the braggart’s son. If you beg enough, the team will take your money. Next year the roster will be 40 or so.
Rebels will do exactly what Outlaws did before, try to play true a brackets, get smoked and then play b brackets to get a t-shirt

Then you were not at the camp either because talent was not there my friend. Kids were slow ball hit the ground alot. Not very good stick skills on most kids. Some kids all they wanted to do was shoot. No ball movement. I was there.

Don’t think they didn’t go through players stats and watch the championship game. They arent calling because they can’t......but your a fool if you don’t think they didn’t take down names. There were def standouts and they are on college coaches radars.

Some clubs are actuallyas not for profit......have field connections which keep costs down....and other perks.
While this site can be entertaining.......it provides almost nothing to build integrity for any team. Just a shark tank for gossip and angry parents.
College coaches are not after any of our 2023's yet!!!!!!!
Peace out.....



Maybe not now, but recruiting years are the horizon and now is the time players are moving into an organization with a proven track record. Express and 91 have a long list of players recruited to college lax. You may be on a team with a heavy roster but there is a vested interest to get as any players recruited as possible.

Matter of time before he’s canned from this club too. Writing on the wall after he was bumped from his own team!
You 2 should just call each otheremtmxe

Also have heard Express added about 6 new boys but did not cut any returning boys, which would put their roster close to 30. Last I checked, there is still only one ball on the field at a time. Playing time and touches going to be even more difficult for a team that was plagued with those issues last year.


The B and C Express teams all carry a huge roster. There are many kids that never play. Parents should ask that before they commit to any team. Any more than 25 is ridiculous ( and 25 is pushing it)!

Now that is funny. 6-7 yrs away from college. Oh yeah they're memorizing the names as we speak. The coaches were enjoying 4th of July somewhere, not watching 7th graders you stalker.

I don’t know about teams off LI but not many are trying to keep the costs down on LI. An organization like Express has lots of connections which should help with field space yet there cost is nuts nd they fill rosters with ridiculous numbers and field extr teams that can’t compete. They definitely aren’t not for profit. Even the charge for tryouts I nuts. But everything is a choice. My kid will never play for Express for that reason alone!

As for the entertainment, it totally is. If you don’t like it you don’t have to be here. Anyone that comes here thinking this is the best place for actual facts is delusional.

Best S2S righty attackman also left for Express 2024




That makes no sense. Why would the best righty attack leave to play down?


Fallout from DK exit
How was the turnout at S2S tryouts? Any surprises?

Sounds like some nervous coaches losing a lot of players to Express at all grade levels. . If players are leaving your program for a big roster team you should be concerned.
Not a bad move for DK. He is part of the organization and besides you would have something else to complain about
My son would rather play on a team which values him and is reflected in the minutes he receives in games. People are crazy paying 4K/year for their sons to be on a team (not play for) and barely see the field. If it’s for braggery or hopes of getting him recruited through the organization’s “connections”, then how are you going to feel when this portion of our/their lives is over and things didn’t pan out? If your kid is talented enough, he will get noticed. If not, at least he got a chance to play and you were there to watch him.

You sir/ma’am are to sane and logical to be here! Everything you said is spot on! I’d rather the memories of watching him play and grow, rather than “maybe” a draw full of ugly T-shirt’s!

I am glad about that. They had no business on the field..
Made a lot of money for Chan though...Maybe he can regroup his lost earnings by starting an Express East.....

He is probably just adding them to his other rosters....30/35 on a roster, no problem
How did F$g tryouts go
No more c team at express. Mc just created “express east” for suckers out there. The biggest suckers are the parents of the ones on the top team who are not the top 13 including all the new kids joining this year. They can now tell their friends that their kid plays for express A. They won’t touch the field on important situations and will be paying mc while listening to the S2S parent telling everyone how his kid should be in on every play cause he has “the best shot”
Predictions for best teams:
Bandits
Express A
True Blue
Rebels
Igloo
S2S
Empire A

Lots of express, fl$ and a few igloo helmets. 6 goalies trying out only 3!had S2S helmets. One igloo, one Recon and one unidentifiable. Coaches kept some kids after (mostly express helmets) not sure why. Maybe gushing actual interest?

Which express kids are they getting. Most of the kids on the top teams have already committed to the team they played on last year or on new teams.

Ha, ha....good one. Rebels will be lucky if they compete in C brackets. True Blue will be holding onto their spot in the B bracket.

Rebels is taking the top kids who left the top club teams. They will be the new powerhouse.
Sounds like a S2S parent is still stinging from their son not getting as much playing time as the kid that left and went to Express. If he and his parents wanted him to be in on every play, they probably would have stayed at S2S, and not went to a better team. I watched the kid your talking about, when he played my son's team, and he did have a great shot.

With all the Outlaw and True Blue helmets the last two days, one would think that they are combining teams.

Glad they left to Express, big upgrade.
Express A got better just don't know how they are going to fit all these kids in.
Bandits from what I heard haven't done much.
Igloo lost 2 starters and 6 bench players
S2S lost there best player

So 1 and 2 stay the same as the two best, I think 3-5 will be a little different by the end of 2018/19 season. Good luck all...

This was in no way written by the s2s kid’s parent. Who also did not write the post about the s2s kid having great parents.

Outlaw and true blue Players from the B teams. Not a good mix for a AA team.
S2S kid is legit. He was the best player on express b the previous year. Now that he’s finally recognized as a top player, express will be the team to beat.

Only a few kids on that team are “top players” just because a given player makes a team doesn’t mean he’s “recognized” you confused fool. Most are there to pay for mc’s beach house. That includes all the new players this year. Write the check and be quiet.

If what I heard is true Bandits added four very very good players. Two make their team better which says a lot by itself

Are you sad that he left? You should have treated him better coach.
Ha... why don't you just identify yourself. Totally obvious.
Ha....doubt it. Probably mom.

Keep it there with the Outlaws maybe the Rebels if they are looking.
S2S picking SWR attack. If they can fix the attack they may be tough to beat.

If it was his dad, it would be a ten paragraph, sel-absorbed post like in the past.
Not the kid parent but it's amazing how people are reacting to a kid leaving a club. He played as much as he wanted so he clearly was not looking for more playing time. People need to worry about their own kids more.

If you are talking about the Express kid who had the most points in the WSYL (by far the best player there) he is an 8th grader who has a November birthday. He is not getting held back, he is not going to the Bandits and his mother does not work for 91.

The biggest problem with this post, and yes I understand that you’re a cool-aid drinker, is that WSYL is not a competitive tournament. The best teams in the grad year do not attend. It’s called marketing.so easy there with your “MVP”

Hmm, thought she was a director for the organization. That’s why her kid plays for express 22 and team 91 nationals 2023 in Florida. . She must have mis-informed me or I didn’t understand what she said. My bad.
You are not mistaken. The confusion is over this years “mvp” (JM) and last years “mvp” ( AG). Both play for ‘22 Express. But the righty has a house in a Florida, used to play for the Bandits, is grade eligible for 2023, and has a parent who works for 90 + 1. The lefty is age eligible for this years WYSL—but not 2023 grade eligible—and is staying on Express ‘22.

Oh and neither was a real mvp but was the highest scorer. We get what you mean. P
Sounds like someone has a personal agenda with the father that has materialized once the son decided to move to a different club. I guess the realization of losing more games is eating at you and your ego. Easy to bash people behind a wall of ananimity. Please share with us your name so we all can better understand the issue - or is it a case of the son was taking time away from your little Johnny? Now you are just bitter and lashing out as an anonymous troll - coward!

My bad - I thought you were talking about the 2018 WSYL kid. You are correct - I have now heard that the 2017 WSYL MVP is going to the 2023 Bandits. I also heard he is really good but old for 2022 - now he will be Maryland old for 2023

In my professional opinion this gentleman may be suffering from CTE or might have had recent head trauma.
My son didn't make the team but the Turtles had some talent at their tryouts as well. Tons of kids from other teams but I don't know who made it and accepted. I'm guessing they will be in the mix as well.

It's definitely a high caliber team of great players. Low profile, low drama. They'll be in all the AA tournaments.

And if they play in those tournaments they probably won't win many games, the team is filled with bench players that weren't happy with playing time or told that they weren't as good as they thought, well good luck to them.
Agree for a first year team tryouts had some talent....totally under the radar.

Sorry my wallet is just fine, actually enjoyed the trip with my family and stayed a few extra days. What did you do- oh I forgot your son is on a average team that didnt qualify then told you how much of a waste the tournament was to make you feel better. If you are referring to the tournament in MD the teams actually did very well and you would know that if you you were there but again your sons team wasn't good enough to attend. So please give it a rest already and enjoy your sons lax experience it goes fast.

Sounds like a coach with an axe to grind. Maybe the coach isn't as good as he believes he is. Additionally, there are a few teams (established) that shouldn't be in AA tournaments. Oh well...

So the "bench players" you are referring to, who are unhappy and told they weren't as good as they thought, why would they remain on your team if the coaches thought that of them?

Not sure how any team knows if there was a mass exodus yet. Lots of kids tried out for different teams. Doesn’t mean they are actually leaving their current team. So unless you have access to a final roster and saw who gave deposits you have no clue!
Stirring the pot. You have no clue.

Was expected if true. Tryouts were held very late. Express, igloo, 90+1 all locked up their kids at that point. Who were they looking at unless they had agreements already in place

You have proof this isn’t true? A few of the kids I know that tried out have yet to be contacted. Tryouts were Wed. So they must be waiting for people to accept and commit which is causing a delay in making contacts. If they can barely fill one team you can’t expect them to field 2.

Coach arrogance? That's crazy. they don't control any kids destiny. they may think they do. If you are not happy with the service, dump them. Just remember at the end, parents always have the last say, no need to debate. Parents get too hung up on these organizations

The team being discussed lost at least 5 players and the coach who put the team together. Think it qualifies as an exodus.
How were true blue tryouts are they having another tryout

Not sure how any team knows if there was a mass exodus yet. Lots of kids tried out for different teams. Doesn’t mean they are actually leaving their current team. So unless you have access to a final roster and saw who gave deposits you have no clue!



The team being discussed lost at least 5 players and the coach who put the team together. Think it qualifies as an exodus.


Where did DK wind up? Are you saying the 5 kids that left are all on whatever team he went to? That would mean that team lost 5 or cut 5 to make room or they just over inflated their roster. Don’t think I would want to be on that team.

Coach arrogance. It’s affecting a few teams this year. Funny all in the same geographic area. .


Coach arrogance? That's crazy. they don't control any kids destiny. they may think they do. If you are not happy with the service, dump them. Just remember at the end, parents always have the last say, no need to debate. Parents get too hung up on these organizations


Exactly my point. They THINK they control the players and their arrogance is palpable. —- this is the year they are getting dumped. Like someone posted earlier— Denver is over!

You have proof this isn’t true? A few of the kids I know that tried out have yet to be contacted. Tryouts were Wed. So they must be waiting for people to accept and commit which is causing a delay in making contacts. If they can barely fill one team you can’t expect them to field 2.

Higgins ain't calling you. Rebels and a few others are still looking.


If they haven’t called by now your not on their radar. Take a spot elsewhere. Lots of good teams out there , and some new ones that look promising.
DK is still with S2S he is now coaching the younger teams to try and build the program. MR took 2023 over there is no issue with DK and S2S. The team for that matter I have no idea I only heard they lost one starter. I heard Igloo lost 6 bak ups to the Turtles and two started to Express.

2023 was DK’s team. He brought half that that team in. No way there’s no issue. Those players didn’t come to the team for any other reason. Sorry to hurt your ego. Now that he’s gone — so are they. That shouldn’t be a surprise.

Turtles picked perfect year. They will be a team to watch for sure.

First it was 5, now it is 8. You people have no clue.

There were probably 60 or more kids at True Blue and I think they are done. 3 tryout days should be enough to pick the 2 teams I’m guessing.
Let’s stop talking about DK. The real issue is the demise of the honey badgers after BM was fired. S2S should hire BM, he is the best developer of young players.
Anyone have any info about new team I heard formed called Epic Jokers?
I live in Suffolk, so figured would be a good option.
Plus Im not looking to break the bank on cost for travel lacrosse for my kid.

Turtles ownership were able to foresee the path youth lacrosse is heading towards. If you take into account what the turtles accomplished with the 2017 group and now the 2020 team, naturally, it was worth having kids tryout.

Formed by prior coach of Mamaz Boyz.
Only $1350- so it is good option.
Tryouts are tomorrow and Tuesday in evening, and also the following week.
Info should be on the Epic Jokers website.

Yes foresee the ability to make some money just like the rest of the clubs.if they only had 1 team I could agree but the fact that they are expanding to more grades just shows the money that's out their for them to take advantage of.

Anyone know where the Rebels will practice?
I haven’t heard a bad word about the rebels.
They seem to really want to make the parents and players happy.
What a nice change to the travel experience.We are all use to your kid is lucky to be here now cut me a check.
Could it be we are truly the costumer and we should be happy what we are paying for? What a concept.

Parents and players are happy now, just remember the Rebels will always have Outlaws DNA! Enjoy it for now.

Is having the outlaws dna supposed to be a good thing. The 2023 oultlaw team has a history of yelling daddy coaches that weren’t lax players and mediocre performance. In addition they haven’t had a practice yet so I’m pretty sure the parents don’t know if they are happy. I think most of the postings referencing rebels are from rebels directors. Another question, does outlaws dna guarantee spam from rebels.

Yawn!
So you dont like the Rebels, but you dont like the Outlaws as well.
Could it be your son did not make either team and your mad at the whole lax world.
Seems like thats a lot closer to the truth.
Yawn!
how is the rebels team shaping up, are they still looking for players and what positions

There is still one more tryout date, so just give them a call. They will answer any questions you have.

Outlaw DNA is just that:; yelling daddy coaches and mediocre performance. I don't care what anybody says, the two teams are still somehow connected. Last several years, Outlaws have been taking a beating both on and off the field. Creating a new team provided a clean slate. PB and DZ go back a long way along with their kids. I just don't believe for a minute that one has nothing to do with the other. Watch, next year the Outlaws will fall under the Blatant umbrella, as did the teams with DLT. Do you actually think PB, MB and DZ will tell you everything that's going on? But does it really matter in this watered down youth travel market? NO

This is a dumb post. Outlaw DNA, that’s just a notIntelligent. Who cares if they fall under the Blatant Umbrella or the Calloway Umbrella. You don’t have control of that and it’s meaningless in the long run. Owners don’t have to tell you anything about their business operatons for any business. Maybe that’s your problem, you think you deserve to be included in all aspects of a lacrosse team. Good thing the market is watered down, you have so many options and can stay away from Outlaws and Rebels.

That hurts!
Going to a established team is very difficult, it doesn't matter if you son's ability is above his teammates which were apart of the team for several years.On many teams, the parent(s) run the show, now throw in a daddy coach (assistant or head) and all bets are off, and don't for get the team mom with her group of team hens, who have an opinion about everything. Additionally, make sure you don't voice your opinion to the wrong person, because it'll be down hill from there. Are all teams like this, no I can't say that, But what I can say, it ALL begins with the coach. It's simple, treat someone else's kid how you want your kid to be treated and there will be much less drama. If my kid woke up tomorrow morning and said he didn't want to play travel anymore, it will be perfectly fine with me...This crap isn't worth it, no matter what level he plays on!

Maybe, you should think about taking a few remedial grammar classes and/or purchase a dictionary and read it from cover to cover opposed to spending it on travel lacrosse for your kid(s). I'm sure they will not stand in your way!

That was the 2022 team that was asked to play in the True Blue tournament last minute to fill the bracket.

Their 2023 team is a solid B+ team. They have had a couple of kids develop as players and move on, but haven't fallen off. Good program in general, they run Shootout for Soldiers LI and constantly promote giving back thru community service. We've two of our kids playing for them.
blah.... blah...blah!!!
Everyone is an expert.
If your good enough.....they will know and find you...

Buyer beware with this team. One of the parents tried recruiting my kid with lies and a bunch of trash talk. I decided to stay put, and it looks like I made the right decision. The 6-7 “top” kids on this team are on their third or fourth team in as many years. There’s a reason kids bounce around so much. Cancerous parents with an unrealistic opinion of their son’s ability and selfish play on the field.

Also, I would be very cautious of the “everyone is going to play equally” promise. As a new club, they’re going to need to win. That means shortening the bench in every close game.

Remember that before you cut a check.

Sounds like you think you know about what's going on, either from a parent or a coaches point of view. I think a coach! First of all, no one attempted to recruit your kid(s), they (parents) asked questions about the club in reference and their questions were answered. Further, you say; "it looks like I made the right decision," well coach, you don't sound like you're too sure. Secondly, you're paid too much to lack the intelligence to interpret whats simply written on a web site. You say they promise; “everyone is going to play equally,” well the web site doesn't state that. Further, I assure you the 6-7 top kids on that Team, neither the parents nor do their kids know who you are and quite frankly don't give two hoots about what you think or what you are about. That said, go ask JS for some tips on how to win, if you have the ability to comprehend his suggestions. Lastly, I think for you to come on here and personally judge someone's decision and trash their kid(s), you're the Cancerous, Selfish person, with delusional, unrealistic opinions about yourself. It's easy to keep the focus on you buddy, go sell some more snake oil and move on with your life. I'm sure you could of occupied the time spent on this web site with more important people in your life, opposed to the ones in the cloud. You went there, not us!

Yes foresee the ability to make some money just like the rest of the clubs.if they only had 1 team I could agree but the fact that they are expanding to more grades just shows the money that's out their for them to take advantage of.


Buyer beware with this team. One of the parents tried recruiting my kid with lies and a bunch of trash talk. I decided to stay put, and it looks like I made the right decision. The 6-7 “top” kids on this team are on their third or fourth team in as many years. There’s a reason kids bounce around so much. Cancerous parents with an unrealistic opinion of their son’s ability and selfish play on the field.

Also, I would be very cautious of the “everyone is going to play equally” promise. As a new club, they’re going to need to win. That means shortening the bench in every close game.

Remember that before you cut a check.


I am trying to figure out what your issue is here.
1. Consumer choose to take money to different store. Would you prefer they stay where ever and pay $4k + Travel + Hotel to watch their kids play. If you check the older boards they will tell you it's no fun for the kid just being on a top team and as a parent you want to enjoy watching them play

2. Every team has crazy parents. If the world was perfect and everyone would get along and that parent must know your kid in order to have that conversation. I can't see a stranger having this conversation with some random kid off the street so if you don't like the guy don't have him talk to your child period.

3. If that scenario you mentioned above happened with the coach I would say (RED FLAG) this happened with a random parent. How does that reflect on the team unless that person was speaking for the team.

I was at the tryout with my son but choose to go someplace else. They did say players earn playing time in close games. Just remember great players can't get looks on the bench or in 10-1 blow out games.

It's a particular coach trashing kids. If you know the guy, its very easy to keep the focus on him. He opened that door. I think he's just envious on the accomplishments of JS. Jealousy!
Taking Bandits and Express our of the equation, are Igloo and S2S still top teams? If not, where did those players end up?

I heard that a new club called Turtles in Smithtown got a lot of the top club players to come. Don't know if they all know each other or that they all wanted a better experience. Don't know if S2S, Igloo, or True Blue can still stay up there with a lot of dilution now.

So many new teams; so many more options. I guess that’s a good thing, right?

It's great to see high talent spread out and parents understanding that their son doesn't need to play on the Bandits to enjoy the game.

Agree. 4K tuition without the add-ons. Traveling up and down the east cost when we have enough competition here on LI. Then throw in all the political BS, the groupie parents that ingest large quantities of protein, all which comes along with many of these so called top clubs, it's just sicking and you can have it!

True Blue??? Okay, compare the cost with one team in particular who was beat twice by TB. Should I go on naming another club?

TB is a good team, for sure. But they’re not in the conversation with the elite teams. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just the way it is. They’re an economical choice for the boys in that area and it’s great they they can put out a pretty competitive team. But the question is about the top clubs. Im interested to see how all the changes shake out with Igloo and S2S. Did any impact players leave? Or just bench players?
Anyone that thinks top players from Bandits or Express Haugen tried out for a team other than the team they were on last year is crazy. These will be the top 2 teams until they go to college.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is true, Igloo supposedly lost 8 players 6 were back ups that went to the Turtles and 2 were starters that went to Express. S2S lost there best player to Express also not sure if they lost anyone else. I do think after Bandits and Haugen there is a lot more parody in 2023, I don't think Igloo and S2S will be as dominate (IMHO). In the end who cares let the boys have fun get better and hopefully Lacrosse will help them get into a college. Good luck to all...

A lot of extra kids on express this year. 9 attack 12 middies 7 d and 2 goalies. Some new parents are know it all blow hard bores who are sure their kids are the best. Should be an interesting year .
I want my son to get into college to play lacrosse and practice 40 hours per week, then graduate with a job as a part time club coach. I think it will only cost me about 250k. The 91, Express, and Igloo direction is the best option for me.

You do realize full rides for lax don’t really exist. 99.9% of kids that play lax will nothing with it after they graduate. If these kids truly live be the. Sport they should play because they love it and not because they think they will get a full ride or be some D1 lax coach somewhere. Where will you be when lax is over for good? Probably still walking around in your kids team gear saying “did you know my kid played in the WSYL when he was 13.”

Going to be a lot of unhappy parents on that team. Impossible that all those kids are getting to get the playing time their parents think they deserve, especially those kids who are so small physically they get thrown around like rag dolls. Glad to hear they finally brought the S2S kid (formerly Express B player) on. He deserves to be there, unlike some of the other kids on that team.

Both teams lost key players and are having trouble filling those spots. It is definitely not a good sign for both teams.

Sounds like a coach is still reeling from player departures. Trash those teams all you want— their records and coaches speak for themselves. And interesting those two teams didn’t hemmorage any players !

how many kids are on that roster now? i have seem them at tournaments and there seems to be a lot of kids standing on the side lines.

also seems like alot of clubs are now doing supplemental tryouts. Guess everyone is having issues getting kids to commit or come back, for whatever the reason.
I think it’s great that there are more clubs starting up out there.
The club owners/coaches don’t like it at all!!
I’ve heard them say “it waters down every team”.
What a bunch of BS!!
1-cost will go down eventually or stop getting increased.
2-To me watered down= more competitive teams
3- smaller rosters = more playing time for kids
4-makes the clubs that have been around for a long time not to take any player for granted knowing every year it is a new contract.The your lucky to be hear attitude needs to stop.What if a restaurant gave you the impression that your Lucky we let you eat here.Would you eat there again?
More clubs the better!everyone can find a home that’s good for them and get treated properly.This is coming from a dad that has a son that has been treated like gold for three years and tons of playing time.
It just kills me to see kids sit on the sideline and the parents are too scared to speak up because their worried about repercussions.

Ok daddy. Good disguise. Absolutely no one knows it’s you at all. You have convinced the world that your son is great. Awesome. And now we can safely assume this kids dad is trashing his future teammates playing ability and physical attributes. Welcome to the sidelines d bag. You are class act.

I don’t believe it’s the dad. I believe it's someonefeom his former team who has an axe grind with him. He is trying to make him look bad.

This is obviously the previous coach and owner who are crying the kid left. You were probably a [ChillLaxin] to the kid knowing your history.

I am not sure who on here has a beef with this kid or his dad, on the sidelines he did not seem any crazier than other dads on that team. Besides, he was Express B coach before so it's not like both sides don't know what they are getting. As for adding players, both Express and 91 Bandits added a bunch, for obvious reasons. This is really the last time to make the team as strong as they can, once the boys start high school the interest in jumping teams vanes greatly.

Also, this is the time the boys have started puberty and their growth is all over the place, some of the kids who were marginal players are suddenly getting bigger, stronger and faster, and much more dominant on the field as a result. And vice versa, as the development is all over the place. This seem to make injuries a lot more common, we have seen a lot more with my older son's team anyway. Some of the boys play JV sports at school etc. plus the tournament games are getting even more physical. Even this past year there was never a time any of the top teams had all their players available, someone was always hurt. So there is certainly good justification for healthy rosters numbers.

This particular dad brings this same drama wherever he goes. You just have to be a tad bit familiar with this forum over the years to see where he's been. Express is one of the only clubs willing to take him as they thrive on overbearing parent$.
No way the kids dad... he would sign his name

I don’t believe it’s the dad. I believe it's someonefeom his former team who has an axe grind with him. He is trying to make him look bad.

A lot of extra kids on express this year. 9 attack 12 middies 7 d and 2 goalies. Some new parents are know it all blow hard bores who are sure their kids are the best. Should be an interesting year .


Going to be a lot of unhappy parents on that team.

Glad to hear they finally brought the S2S kid (formerly Express B player) on. He deserves to be there, unlike some of the other kids on that team.


I am not sure who on here has a beef with this kid or his dad, on the sidelines he did not seem any crazier than other dads on that team. Besides, he was Express B coach before so it's not like both sides don't know what they are getting. As for adding players, both Express and 91 Bandits added a bunch, for obvious reasons. This is really the last time to make the team as strong as they can, once the boys start high school the interest in jumping teams vanes greatly.

Also, this is the time the boys have started puberty and their growth is all over the place, some of the kids who were marginal players are suddenly getting bigger, stronger and faster, and much more dominant on the field as a result. And vice versa, as the development is all over the place. This seem to make injuries a lot more common, we have seen a lot more with my older son's team anyway. Some of the boys play JV sports at school etc. plus the tournament games are getting even more physical. Even this past year there was never a time any of the top teams had all their players available, someone was always hurt. So there is certainly good justification for healthy rosters numbers.

This particular dad brings this same drama wherever he goes. You just have to be a tad bit familiar with this forum over the years to see where he's been. Express is one of the only clubs willing to take him as they thrive on overbearing parent$.



I heard people had issues with him when he was on the outlaws 3 or 4 years ago. Nothing has been said about him the past two years, and the kid could have stayed with S2S and play every minute and take any shot he wanted. Why are you guys so upset at him for going to a team where he will get limited minutes. It's starting to seem as though a lot of this is coming from the S2S crowd.

I heard that a new club called Turtles in Smithtown got a lot of the top club players to come. Don't know if they all know each other or that they all wanted a better experience. Don't know if S2S, Igloo, or True Blue can still stay up there with a lot of dilution now.

True Blue ??? Why are they mentioned in this conversation ?


True Blue??? Okay, compare the cost with one team in particular who was beat twice by TB. Should I go on naming another club?


TB is a good team, for sure. But they’re not in the conversation with the elite teams. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just the way it is. They’re an economical choice for the boys in that area and it’s great they they can put out a pretty competitive team. But the question is about the top clubs. Im interested to see how all the changes shake out with Igloo and S2S. Did any impact players leave? Or just bench players?


S2S lost top middie, top defense, two attack players(one starter, one back up). All contributors. Lost other 3rd line players. Top players went to Express, both 2024 & 2023 teams. It will be hard to fill the production lost.

No skin in this game but why would you go back to Express when they said your kid wasn’t good enough to be on their A team? S2S gave him a shot and he got to play. Kind of a slap in the face to ditch S2S and go back to Espresso who now thinks you are worthy.
Did anyone go to Rebels tryouts today? How was the talent? Is this the Outlaws with new uniforms? Or did they attract any upgrades?

That may be the case but the kids best friend is on the team and the kid goes to catholic school. Let's not act like the customer can't take their money where they want or that these teams won't cut a player in a minute if something better comes along
It was ran well and the players looked good.

S2s did not lose top middie. Lost one middie but he was number 5 I in scoring and only 50% in faceoffs, so all good at s2s. No big losses. All the big scorers are still here.

And that comment was at all necessary?
What an stunad!
Are Haugen and Hedstrom still the top two teams for Express? Heard karwoski was coaching a team for 2023.

This comment could have only came from someone at S2S. Give it a rest already guys the kid made a choice. What happen to wishing someone best of luck in whatever they decide to do. I am sure he still has friends on the team and wishes them best of luck.
Copied and pasted this from another thread.
This says it all.


In the end you do this because your kid loves to play.
- dont do it for the scholarships. You are better off not doing it then, saving that money, and you would end up having more money for your kid for college.
- dont do it if your kid is not being played. Thats just ridiculous. What is he practicing for. You practice so you will play well in your games. If he is not being played, its a waste. Pick a different team.
- dont do it because your kid wants to be on the top team. You are sending the wrong message to your kid. Being part of somerhing in name only, but not contributing to it by playing in the game, means he really earned nothing.
- dont do it just because you want to tell others your kid is on the top team. Your actually harming your kids self esteem, as he continues to watch others play instead of him.
- dont force your kid to play just to relive your dreams in your youth. Your child needs to choose their own path. That is the only way they will be successful and happy. That should be your goal.

If your kid enjoys lacrosse, pick a team where
- he is played. He doesnt have to be a starter. But he needs to play a decent amount of time in games.
- there is a team environment where there may not be equal playing time for all, but every player gets reasonable playing time.
- there is one team per age group. Or at least your on the top team. All the second teams are money grabs. Its way to difficult for organizations to pull in enough talent at tryouts to field 2 teams in an age group. (And everyone at tryouts wont accept). You are better playing for another club.
- Dont be a sucker paying ridiculous figures. Figure out what they are really giving you for your money. Is it really worth it? Why did tuition go up 25%? Certainly costs didnt increase that much in a year.
- Talk to people who you know or that friends know play for or played for that organization to get a better picture. Get the inside scoop.
- make a list of questions. And call and talk to the coaches before accepting an offer. If they wont talk to you, or give you nonsense answers, then run. It can only get worse from there.
- make sure the organization is investing in proper coaches for your team. Not just one head coach and the rest volunteer daddy coaches getting a free ride for their kid.

Once on your team
- dont switch mid season. It does nothing but hurt your kids image when he tries out for other clubs. And teaches your kid the wrong lesson about following through with his commitment to his team.
- make sure your kid enjoys playing for the team when deciding to try out next season.
- if you find during the season the organization does not follow through with what they promised, then walk after the end of the season. Find another team. Otherwise it will only get worse.
- practice with your kid. And make sure your kid understands practicing daily at home is the only way he will get better.
- when at tournaments enjoy the game. Dont be crazy on the sidelines shouting. Let the coaches do the coaching.
- dont let winning be everything. In the end it should be whether your kid is enjoying thenselves, and developing as a player. You certainly dont want to lose all the time. But you also dont want to win at any cost.

Have a great season

Or weasel your way into the club as head coach or assistant coach and make sure to start your son and play him over others to the team’s detriment, do the same for the sons of your buddies, and keep the director’s fooled that you are doing your best for the team.

This quote is so true. There were a lot of kids who could not play another sport this summer because 2023 is the year. Year for what? The colleges coaches are not looking at them but the schedule was unbelievable and the only one that gained something out of this was the club directors. Wake up parents playing on a club team is now the new it item and the snake oil sales men/club directors are lined up to cash in.

Going to be a lot of unhappy parents on that team. Impossible that all those kids are getting to get the playing time their parents think they deserve, especially those kids who are so small physically they get thrown around like rag dolls. Glad to hear they finally brought the S2S kid (formerly Express B player) on. He deserves to be there, unlike some of the other kids on that team.


Is this guy serious? Can the dad of this s2s kid be this deranged. He bashes 13 yo kids his son going to play with? A hole fo sho. Thank god your kid is coming to save these kids. How can we thank you for coming.






I don’t believe it’s the dad. I believe it's someonefeom his former team who has an axe grind with him. He is trying to make him look bad.



I agree with the last post. The dad of the player that moved from S2S to Express Haugen, does not waste his time on this forum, (I'm not sure why I do! Why is the the 2023 forum the most active and disfunctional on the website?). When his son played on S2S with my son, I never saw any evidence of him bragging about his son, in fact he was one of the most reserved parents on the sideline and in the tent between games. He helped the main coaches during practices, and was great with the boys on the team. He would definitely not run down other kids. He reached out to me to tell me his son was leaving the team, because he wanted to play with his best friend, who is the goalie on Express Haugen. I know that probably seems far fetched for most of you, but at the end of the day, these boys are still only 13 (unless your talking about MD. or MA.) and want to play with their buddies.

The directors are not fools. They allow and endorse what that daddy coach is doing.
Leave that organization at the end if the season if that happens. It will only get worse.

Who are these kids and who are their parents? Spallina went on the record saying he wants the kids on his team to play other sports to develop, and they do play football, wrestle, etc. Kids on other top team do as well, be it football, soccer, hockey or basketball. Much easier now that the kids are old enough for MS or even JV sports at school. Plus, in the summer, who does not want to swim, surf etc? What do your kids do besides lacrosse, just play Fortnite?

This quote is so true. There were a lot of kids who could not play another sport this summer because 2023 is the year. Year for what? The colleges coaches are not looking at them but the schedule was unbelievable and the only one that gained something out of this was the club directors. Wake up parents playing on a club team is now the new it item and the snake oil sales men/club directors are lined up to cash in.


Talk to your kid. Make sure your kid is happy on a team where he cant pkay other sports.
If not, there are other teams he can look at where he can pkay lacrosse, but also do other team spots.
If you talk to college coaches you will find they want the kids to have played multiple sports.

A lot of extra kids on express this year. 9 attack 12 middies 7 d and 2 goalies. Some new parents are know it all blow hard bores who are sure their kids are the best. Should be an interesting year .


Going to be a lot of unhappy parents on that team. Impossible that all those kids are getting to get the playing time their parents think they deserve, especially those kids who are so small physically they get thrown around like rag dolls. Glad to hear they finally brought the S2S kid (formerly Express B player) on. He deserves to be there, unlike some of the other kids on that team.


Is this guy serious? Can the dad of this s2s kid be this deranged. He bashes 13 yo kids his son going to play with? A hole fo sho. Thank god your kid is coming to save these kids. How can we thank you for coming.
[/q

I agree with the last post. The dad of the player that moved from S2S to Express Haugen, does not waste his time on this forum, (I'm not sure why I do! Why is the the 2023 forum the most active and disfunctional on the website?). When his son played on S2S with my son, I never saw any evidence of him bragging about his son, in fact he was one of the most reserved parents on the sideline and in the tent between games. He helped the main coaches during practices, and was great with the boys on the team. He would definitely not run down other kids. He reached out to me to tell me his son was leaving the team, because he wanted to play with his best friend, who is the goalie on Express Haugen. I know that probably seems far fetched for most of you, but at the end of the day, these boys are still only 13 (unless your talking about MD. or MA.) and want to play with their buddies.


Obviously this is the New dad (S2S) "oh he doesnt waste his time on this forum" WE KNOW IT IS YOU lolol

- dont do it just because you want to tell others your kid is on the top team. Your actually harming your kids self esteem, as he continues to watch others play instead of him.
- dont force your kid to play just to relive your dreams in your youth. Your child needs to choose their own path. That is the only way they will be successful and happy. That should be your goal.

If your kid enjoys lacrosse, pick a team where
- he is played. He doesnt have to be a starter. But he needs to play a decent amount of time in games.
- there is a team environment where there may not be equal playing time for all, but every player gets reasonable playing time.
- there is one team per age group. Or at least your on the top team. All the second teams are money grabs. Its way to difficult for organizations to pull in enough talent at tryouts to field 2 teams in an age group. (And everyone at tryouts wont accept). You are better playing for another club.

Or weasel your way into the club as head coach or assistant coach and make sure to start your son and play him over others to the team’s detriment, do the same for the sons of your buddies, and keep the director’s fooled that you are doing your best for the team.




That didn't pan out. 8 players left and now the Weasel has effectively ruined 2 2023 teams.
I don’t believe it’s the dad. I believe it's someonefeom his former team who has an axe grind with him. He is trying to make him look bad.[/quote]

Who are these kids and who are their parents? Spallina went on the record saying he wants the kids on his team to play other sports to develop, and they do play football, wrestle, etc. Kids on other top team do as well, be it football, soccer, hockey or basketball. Much easier now that the kids are old enough for MS or even JV sports at school. Plus, in the summer, who does not want to swim, surf etc? What do your kids do besides lacrosse, just play Fortnite?



What are you talking about. How can the kids seriously play other sports when they are at a tournament every weekend. Some kids are good enough to play more than CYO basketball or summer roller hockey. When do those kids that Spallina encourage to play other sports get to do that. Let's not forget how often the bandits practice. When do these kids get to play that other sport you speak of? Please don't kid yourself.

Most play for their schools, which yields minimal conflicts because the fall football/soccer season just started, and lax has been done for a month. Most of the games are during the week, and all practices are, before or right after school. We have some boys on our team that do another sport semi-seriously outside of school still as well, and they do miss fall tournaments sometimes for another sport, and coaches seem fine with it. But for most, school sports are great because they are competitive enough but not insane at this age and you get to play with and in front of your friends.

No you won't, this dad was clearly a fool to try to fit in to begin with. But you are still stuck with the core group of malcontent parents for whom nothing is ever good enough. They were ranting on here about the team long before this kid/dad joined. A friend whose son plays on S2S told me a while ago when we discussed the BOTC comments after a tournament that the coach begged the parents to stop airing team's dirty laundry on BOTC and talk to him directly. How crazy is that? Alas now that they succeeded in pushing him out inmates are running the asylum and the new coach will have his hands full. You'd be much better off wishing good luck to everyone who left and move on with the new team, and listen to DK's words as a parting gift - talk to people directly and stop posting trash on BOTC. Everyone ends up looking terrible in the end, and it does not make anyone want to join your team either.

The funniest thing is that there are about 15 “friends” that have posted long intimate soliloquies about this guy’s lacrosse issues on a website. They are clearly obsessed with him and have a lot of free time. Does Lebron’s father have obssed fans that will post like this? Cue the “father is being set up” post from one of his “friends”

And don’t forget with all the lacrosse work in college he will literally miss the fun aspect of going to college and most likely regret that after graduation. But it’s well worth it.
Spoken like someone who definitely didn’t play the sport in college.
New to the scene,,, do I need to wear GOAT apparel?

I clicked on the wrong 2023 forum and saw this post. This is such a true statement. Parents need to get a clue. Lacrosse is a business that is making a ton of money for Club Owners! I look at half the college graduates and they are making pennies out of college living like they are still In college. If your son is not having fun playing Lacrosse at this age something is wrong. If your son has to give up other sports and events to play Middle School lacrosse...something is wrong. As a parent you should not allow a coach or owner of a club dictate what your son can and cannot do. Coaches need to be held accountable for their teams. I think we are seeing more and more of these things in the news about awful coaches. If we allow this treatment of our children now then they will allow worse treatment from horrible coaches for a 5 minute slot of playing time. Sorry for the rant but I see this all over the Maryland forum and I find it infuriating!
The worst is when you get assigned a high school coach as your head coach for your club team, and he never shows up. $3,000 flushed down the drain.

You are spot on. The only people that are emotionally invested in our children are Us! additionally, as parents we must be be aware of the example we set for our kids. It's fine to have kids play with their friends, but when things become stale so to speak you must know when to move on, and allow your son to make new friends in other places (teams). Just remember, one size doesn't fit all. Lastly, coaches/organizations are in it for one thing, the money and themselves. Once you are aware of this, use these coaches/organizations to get the most out of them for yourself, don't become emotionally attached to any coach or team. It's unfortunate as parents we have to treat travel lacrosse as a business, but once you realize how the game is played in the realm of travel lacrosse, you will better able to protect you kid and pocket book.

Tryouts are just about wrapped-up. Did everyone make/receive the invite to their selected team? If not what is plan B.

Teams are more diluted now. I think Warriors, Express B, Igloo B, and Empire will dominate the A. TB will move up to AA. The AA division has been watered down such as Igloo, Express, and S2S. Rebels will dominate the B.

You have no idea what Rebels will dominate.
Too funny the shade you try to throw. Sounds like your feeling threatened?
Only the season will tell.

Wow. That is a big jump - going from a B team to a AA team. TB must have added quite a few quality players.

Warriors, it was what it was, and it is what it is. Keep paying those prices. Next year you'll be up to or beyond $4500.00, easy. If you give them your money, they will be happy to take it...

Must be a Warrior dad. Just remember the Warriors were beat by beat by every team mentioned including the Outlaws (Rebels).


How many Outlaws went to Rebels?


How did that rebel team turn out, did they pick up top talent

Then what happened to the outlaws team. I don’t know how good the rebels are but I do know they got players from several different teams.

I love this statement.... broke the internet


I want my son to play lacrosse be a part of a great community. I want him to learn how to compete, learn how to win, how to lose, how to get better, how the world isnt fair, how to manage his nerves, how to set goals and how to get all the benefits competitive sports bring to a child's development. I want to travel with him and my family to tournaments and spend time with friends. I want him to build his network and have a great HS experience. Its sure beats playing fortnite and the money we spend on piano lessons and tutors. I AM investing in my child's future and it is not so he can get to MLL.

If you dont think a kid that can juggle a 40 hour practice week and the demands of playing a college sport isnt being prepared for life then I think you're really more concerned about your DNA not being able to close the gap on what your son can do.....oh yea and the Lax network for finding a job when coming out of a good school is another great benefit.

Lacrosse and the community are worth the investment, just know why you're doing and who you're doing it with.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's not get too out of hand here... these kids are not getting great jobs and into medical school, law school and business school because they played on Team 91 or Outlaws... they are getting into these roles because they grew up in predominantly upper middle class professional households where parents impressed upon their kids the benefits of sports, education, and extracurricular activities (i am sure genes play a role as well).

Look... to play any sport at a high level costs money today. There are very few parks to head down to on LI to just go play football, baseball, soccer or basketball pickup. Everything has a cost today. I 10000% agree with your Fortnite and Piano lessons statement. You can throw Kumon into that bucket as well.

But, to be fair - i do see plenty of former LAX stars working as assistant coaches etc. Some have made big businesses out of it... but those are the exception.

PS... i am one of the suckers that pays big $$ to multiple sports for their travel leagues.

Welcome to 2023 S2S!
Everyone is so excited when you see that a HS coach is coaching your club team. Honestly I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about this. Especially at the younger ages. Coach main focus is his HS team. NOT club team. Rarely there during spring practices if at all. Be careful what you wish for.

I am curious exactly how much these assistant coaches make per year ? And when they move up and become head coach— how much do they make then? Not sarcastic just curious if it’s enough that they can buy a house and support a family with that ?
How much does one pay for Express A????

If not this year, next year think twice before paying such a high price for travel lacrosse. There are many more options.

It really depends, I think in this scenario it does really help if his son is on the team. Spallina coaches a college team plus a MLL team and still manages to do great job with the bandits, so coaching a local HS team with minimal travel should be totally doable. And even if you don't have a kid on the team it can work. Chan coached St. Anthony's JV in addition to his travel team/s for years (does he still?) and made it work. Besides, nobody can make decent living just coaching travel lacrosse, all these coaches have real jobs to pay their bills, most have nothing to do with lacrosse at all. And those jobs get in a way from time to time, so having competent assistants who can run a good practice or coach a tournament is a key.

over rated. Having a HS varsity coach stinks. Go ahead and pay your $3,500 to have the coach not even know what your son's name is.

Listen, it's expensive to live here. I get that...Pump It Up and After School are grossly over priced as well. But, at the end of the day I do believe that athletics and being part of a team are beneficial to youth development. I just do not blow smoke up my butt trying to convince myself this "is an investment in my kid's future"... and if that was the case, I would say spend the money on swim lessons where you can earn a living over the summer as a lifeguard.

There is limited future earning derived from this sport. Where are the best college players from last season working this year?

Swim lessons, lifeguard. Totally agree. As lax parents we are missing the boat concerning club lax. Think about this, kid get a summer lifeguard job at one of the state parks, graduates college and lands a full time state job where his time counts towards his retirement.
Parents stop paying outrageous prices on youth travel lax!

"There is limited future earning derived from this sport. Where are the best college players from last season working this year?"

I do not know about you but I watched Yale defeat Duke in last year's final. I am sure the employment options for those players are solid.

There is honestly not. Your kid better have a lot more goung on from the neck up if he wants to be successful in life. Lacrosse will not help that much. Your kid should be playing because he loves to play and wants to play this much. For that reason and no other.

You really should go right down the line and check the LinkedIn profile of the graduates. It’s actually really disappointing where people end up. I’m not knocking the sport - I live and love it. But, I’m not a fool. I’ve paid my $$ and I realize where it goes. I don’t get suckered into that investment in future nonsense.

Travel lacrosse is a vehicle adults use to dupe other adults out of their hard earned money. Prices will continue to rise until parents say enough is enough. The clubs/coaches are the dealers and the parents are their submissive addicts, lacrosse crack is hard to put down. But, stop paying these crazy high prices for youth travel lacrosse.

Come on.. they see the money travel soccer makes. Just wait until they decide to have a spring season too. More practices, more money..

Why wouldn't they be, with degrees from those schools? Most people I know, if hellbent on kids playing in college at all, are just hoping it will be the hook that will get their son into the competitive college they would not get in otherwise. They are not looking for scholarships, nor to make living playing lacrosse post-college. They'll go to top colleges (hopefully) and get good jobs in finance etc. And may coach their kids' PAL team one day, or not depending on how demanding their real job is. Everyone knows that lacrosse is not like football/basketball/baseball where you can actually make a good living playing professionally, though of course few make it that far.

A good job in finance, what does that consist of, cashier position at PJ Sports upon graduating from a top college? Get a grip people, the amount of money some of us pay into travel lacrosse before/if our kids go off to college is insane. don't get caught up in the hype these big clubs are selling, find a good value club with a good coach where your kids plays. Me personally, if my kid is recruited and decides he want to play lacrosse in college, I will not pay, that's on him.
Guess we have to log in again.... September is here.. Practices should be starting up. Good luck this fall and see you on the field...
Practices are around the corner and I am looking forward to the Fall with the Fall Tournaments. There will be rankings on here so I want to see how they will rank to different respective clubs & if the different tournaments will play a role into them but one thing I always notice is that a lot of the teams play at the same events and against a lot of the same teams.
Fall practice has started, which fall tournaments will show us who the top teams are?

Those teams lost their top players except for Bandits after Denver. The battlefield is more diverse now.

Your info is wrong - wishful thinking.

How are the Rebels a top team if the team was just put together and never played a game.
How is the TriStar Octoberfest does it draw any good competition?

True Blue got crushed in this tourney last year. Unless they added a lot of good players , you can expect the same results this year.

there are several outlaw kids on the team
Got a great laugh from this one. All the talk about how the rebels are going to be so good makes me want to see them fail. I hate saying that about youth lacrosse but it seems like the rebels will be loaded with [ChillLaxin] parents. Enjoy your season.

Noone knows what team us going to be better than the other yet. Lets just enjoy the season. Good luck to all.
Now that practice has started why is there still big secret about tution cost not posted on websites , everyone forgot a month ago complaining with all the ridiculous prices. Anyone have a list of prices for clubs ? Make it public don’t let them increase it again another $500 next year. I bet suckers will pay again next year !!

You don’t hate saying that, You’re just a miserable person. Since your attacking the parents, most likely were a constant complainer that was shown the door. Guess you’re the only failure so far.

It's an Express run tournament, so all of their teams will be there. Last yer S2S, Outlaws and Empire played in one bracket and the Ducks, 2 Express North, Express Headstrom and Express White played in the other. I'm not certain if Empire still has a team at this age group.

Lets see If Turtles Play in A Brackets
empire has 1 team, but doubt it will be as good as it was before. Hear that some kids went to Turtles and some went to Mamas Boyz full time. They brought up kids from the White team. Only 1 kid on that team has any business on a #1 team and he joined mid season

In other words , the Turtles won't be competing against teams from MD., Mass., Pa. NJ, Conn.,Va. , etc.

Is it on turf or grass and what's the over?
Empire lost all of their starting "A" team players at end of season. Most/all moved on. Remaining team is players from B team and few others from tryouts. Team will be a B/C team at best.
Here we go again bashing/making fun of new teams....Let's just say the Turtles WILL open some eyes this year. Good luck to all this year and enjoy the season with your respective teams.

Well, I'm sure they will have nice uniforms since they are backed by Lacrosse Unlimited, but I can't imagine them being highly competitive. They have a few average kids that came from other teams (Empire, Igloo, Warriors, etc...)that left because they didn't play. I think they will be OK, but saying they'll compete with everyone but Express and Bandits is the kind of statement that makes people want to put you in your place. Just play and keep the talking down. At least wait till you play a game. What tournaments will they be playing this fall?

Who said anything about competing against Express and Bandits??
If you can read, I said they will open some eyes this year. YES they will be competitive. Unless you know the kids/parents personally, how can you say the kids are average?? Changing teams doesn't equate to being mediocre. Maybe some, after the WSYL were tired of the BS of their team and organization. Yes, every team has it but, the kids are solid at every position.
Yes, it is early to speculate, but the foundation is solid.
Almost every kid on the turtles has been on a different team each year or so.Not saying they will crumble but the coaches have their work cut out for them.
Most of those parents by the end of the year won’t be happy with something and will be looking to move AGAIN where the grass is greener.lol
Good luck to the kids and coaches!

Coach, you're a fake. Just get over your ego. Before tryouts you and your over baked leather skinned side kick mom attempted to convince several of the families you are trashing to come play for you. Luckily, they turned you down.Families are free to go where ever they feel necessary, and you have no control over it. Maybe you should sped more time focusing on your team as a whole, rather than a few favorites. The parents that left, saw right through your and your little minion side kicks B.S. Remember kids don't fail adults, adults fail kids.

Wow. Someone sounds bitter!! That's not a good look.

I only know a few of the kids that went to Turtles. None are bad players, FYI. None are standouts though, which is why they left their old teams and opted for a fresh start. I don't blame the parents at all. Travel lax has become insanely expensive. To be on a team and watch your son ride the bench, or not play as much as others, is unacceptable. With so many options available, why wouldn't it make sense to find a team where you think your son will play?

The notion that you need to have him on a top club or he won't be noticed is antiquated. Showcases are a scam. Many kids on top teams won't go to D1 schools. This is the reality. The top half on each of the top few clubs may play at a ranked D1 school, but most won't. Showcases have become money grabs where 120 coaches come to watch 5-10 specific players and don't care about the rest. Trust me, my oldest is graduating this year. I've been through it first hand. The showcases are not the avenue that you need to get noticed.

Everyone needs to relax with the "my team is better than yours" bulls@#t. None of it matters. Kids don't get better on the bench. Find a team where he'll play and keep this infantile trash talk and comparisons out of the equation. It's your son on the field, not you. Let him enjoy the ride.

Yes and your not going. They hold onto your check for a few weeks hoping to get there main list to show. If they want you it gets deposited right away. If it gets deposited weeks after your “invite” your filling a hole. Read the rules, says you were invited to apply, not attend.
do the travel directors control the entire invite process

Showtime replies on select clubs to pass along names, effectively holding slots for them. Then they cobble together the rest. Makes sense. No way to screen kids without vetted club involvement.

How are the Rebels a top team if the team was just put together and never played a game.




They aren't They are a bunch of miscontent parents who have moved from team to team every 1 or 2 seasons

Dude you can’t have it both ways. They are either the outlaws rebranded, thus same parents. Or they are parents who move from team to team every year. But anyways, your post shows how ignorant and uninformed you are. Did you ever think all the people bashing the Rebels are the Miscontented parents ........the more you know.........
looking for advice.... my son is on an "A" team for his club, but the team seems to have lost many players and is not that competitive. Are there any quality teams with solid coaching still looking for players? We live on the eastern end of the island, but traveling would be an option. Thanks.

Email the teams you think your son can make and ask the coach
You might try LI rebels!

Igloo and Empire lost a large amount of players. You're best chances are those two teams.

Just a guess, he is probably looking to move from Empire. You could try R. U S. H

Try S2S. There 2nd team definitely needed some new talent. Express will always take your money.
Good luck finding a team now, Empire took your money and gave you a spot on the Green team!! Wow, they are a B team now.... I am banking that you are North Shore MP area.. Looks like renegades. is 1 of 2 options with EEE, if they are even still together..

Outlaws says they're an "A" club. They'll be the best shot for an A team.

If Outlaws are an "A" club, do other clubs call themselves "AA" and "AAA"?

Last year it got rained out after one game. Not sure many those clubs going back after losing money on the tournament.

East Coast Elite isDynamics new team, after Ducks broke away.
Rebels of course will be there. They are owned by blatant.

Ducks are East Coast Elite, with the exception of 2023 and 2025. Those coaches started “The Team that Sings Tom Sawyer”. I’m not sure they even have teams at the other age groups. Why are they not allowed to be mentioned on here???

That’s why I said I assumed they were in. But it’s not a Blatant tourney, it’s a Legacy tourney.

East Coast Elite does not have a 2023 team. Therefore you don't know anything.

I know you're a useless chump.

There are a few more teams locked in. The weather looks good and it should be a great day of early season lax. Unless that grumpy [ChillLaxin] from the prior post shows up. His kid must play for the Turtles and hes pissed they're not doing fall tourneys.
91 Spartans vs 91 Warriors would be a great matchup in the 2023 division. All these parents wrote their $4000 checks now lets see who has the better team

Igloo A and B would be a better matchup after the mass exodus from their A team. That's what happens when you take people's money and leave their kids on the bench. Serves them right. And from what I hear, both Igloo teams are better than S2S. I guess we're back to Bandits and Express, then probably Turtles and then everyone else.
This is so funny! The only people who talk smack about clubs are the ones whose kid got cut from the team or left because he didn’t touch the field. I wonder how hard it would be to figure out who is talking? How many players got cut from or left Igloo A because they didn’t play?? A few? What about Warriors? One or two? Outlaws? A couple? S2S? 3 kids? I’m sure it’s not hard to figure out who the b$tches are. Forgive me for stating the obvious, but I’m 100% sure of the following: Igloo A is better than Igloo B, S2S will once again field a highly competitive team, Warriors are better than Spartans, and hopefully everyone that left teams for greener pastures found them.
You don’t make any sense - why would someone stay if their kid doesn’t play?

Makes perfect sense. Your son wasn't good enough to play meaningful minutes, you left, and now you talk smack about the old club whenever possible.

Shore 2 Shore will crush Igloo A after that debacle over there. Igloo B will beat Igloo A this year, and True Blue will beat Shore 2 Shore, Express, and Igloo.

Turtles will beat True Blue. They will be very competitive with S2S and Igloo, too. It wouldn’t surprise me if we beat Igloo. Unless they changed their entire offense and plays, which they are too arrogant to do.

Turtles vs TB in the championship of every tournament this summer. They both have the most obnoxious parents, that must mean their kids are great!

Turtles will beat True Blue. They will be very competitive with S2S and Igloo, too. It wouldn’t surprise me if we beat Igloo. Unless they changed their entire offense and plays, which they are too arrogant to do.


so the Turtles, a team with a handful of practices, and no games are gonna surprise who???? C'mon Dad!

It's not a Turtles dad writing that dribble. No one got on here from Turtles writing that they are better than anyone else.
The talent on the turtles will allow them to compete in A brackets immediately. Winning tourneys.. that will take teamwork, which we will find out huh...

Igloo A will be fine, Rebels/Outlaws will still stink, Turtles will be good, Empire A/B will stink balls, True Blue will continue to out drink everyone and at least 2 of 3 91 teams will be good. Oh yeah, legacy will stink again this year..

Rebels were most of Outlaws A team from last year plus a few new upgrades.
Legacy looked better than expected, but still have some work to do.
rebels looks to be very similar to the Ducks team from last year. They played well.
Warriors were very similar to last year. They looked a bit bigger. Not sure about new kids.
Outlaws struggled. Don’t know which team that was from last year, but they had a difficult day.
The Express team is Roar from last year. Absorbed by Express. They played well for a team consisting of many kids from a single team.

Some good games. Some not as good. But overall, a fun day of fall lacrosse.
Your spot on with that assessment!
Warriors looked better then all the teams.
Outlaws struggled.
The rest were good just need more time playing together.
Yes,legacy looked better than last year.I guess they picked up a few more good players.

Express was a new team put together. Looks like they all moved from another team based on all the matching helmets. They played well, very aggressive. Very good middies, huge falloff when first come off.

91 always a good product, the most organized and beatable when everyone else catches up. They have been together long time so offense clicked early.

LI rebels is a new team. Some good players and will give you a good game early before ruining out of steam. Excellent goalie.

Outlaws were worst team there. They have a lot of work to do. Didn’t look strong at any position.

Rebels were old outlaws. Looked much of the same. Not really any offensive threats. Looked sloppy for a team that has been together under another name.

Legacy was strong until they played a real team and then got manhandled. Looks like they are still rebuilding. Had a big attack, but can’t get them the ball.

Rebels looked amazing. They'll be the team to beat this year.

And you didn't like the answer that was given, too bad! But if you know anything about how this works, you know who is going,
You are spot on with that assessment!
I feel The same.warroirs just a step above the rest but not much.Legacy had a solid team. All teams seemed very comparable.
Outlaws struggled.
It’s nice to see a tournament with all the teams for the most part having close games.The tournament was ran very well and the officiating was great!

So the LI Rebels and the Rebels are two different teams?
And that’s the 3rd team for Express. FYI. Great coaching. Coach K is awesome.
Legacy got manhandled?!?
Your a hammerhead.
They won almost every face off against 91.
And three shots hit the post.
5-1 was the score.
You are a hammerhead!!!
Just can’t give credit where credit is due!

If they are 3rd team why are they in A bracket and Hedstrom in B at Blatant

Not sure what a hammerhead is, but you “almost won every faceoff”. What does that mean, so you lost more than you won? You still lost 5-1, correct? You hit 3 post, so the ball didn’t go in right, so you still lost 5-1, correct? Even if the three went in, you still Lose 5-4, correct?

I willl give credit where it is due. You almost won every faceoff and hit three post, way to go. You know what they say offense wins games, defense wins championships and hitting 3 post wins a donut. . But I’m the hammerhead.

No, but BOTC does not allow you to name one of the teams and defaults it to rebels. The team is LI Rupoop. They were the Ducks last year but the coaches split off on their own to form a new club.
Looks like the warriors are top of the A division right now...
They are a much better team than they were last year. Got some size

Stop trying to stir the pot. No one on the Warriors thinks that. Just enjoy your son’s fall schedule.

The brackets were pretty limited. Two jersey teams, Warriors, a few Express North teams, Express Hedstom, Force, Hitmen and a team made up of 22’s and 23’s from a bunch of other travel teams (Looked like Igloo, Turtles, Bandits, fl$, Express and possibly others). The mixed team looked very good. Warriors did, too. Those two were a step above the rest, but a lot of good games played. Great weather for lax too.
Can anyone tell me what happen to Express Haugen? I see Express karowski. New coach same team?

The team made up of kids from different clubs looked very good. Very impressed!

I believe the Karowski team is the old O'Reilly team from LI Storm. O'reilly brought hem over to express
I see they are playing at Blatant this Sunday and was wondering if haugen was playing at different tourney?

Was that the Sachem team? Those clowns are up to their old tricks again? If it was the same guys from a few years ago, they grab kids from all over the place and ever travel team (and apparently don’t care about what grade they are in) and call themselves Sachem. What a joke. I thought we were rid of those weasels already. Did they really bring in older kids? Or is that exaggerated? It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they did. That should get them blackballed from all tourneys.

The parents are fine (with a few exceptions), but the coaches are just terrible. They’ve been teaching kids for years that it ok to cheat. What kind of role models are they? Cheating to win is terrible, but cheating and still losing is laughable! Someone should tell that skinny coach that he’s in his 50’s, he should stop trying to dress like he’s in his 20’s. It makes him look like a creepy pedofile.
What happened to the Blatant tournament? That used to bring in all the heavyweights. But it looks like it’s TB’s tournament to lose. What are Express, Igloo, Bandits and S2S doing this fall? Haven’t heard much. Out of state?
Is the Fall Classic considered a showcase this year? Or are those days done?
Looking for a tourney with my town team. It’s a true town team. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would prefer to stay on LI.
It was a TRAVEL tournament....players do come from all over....the team was made up of a majority of Sachem players...Why should they be blackballed???Guarantee there were no 2022's there. Get over it

oh someone sounds a little butt hurt!! and by the way learn to spell, especially if you are going to insult people on an open forum. The only people who have something to say about the team or the coaches are the ones who aren't asked to play with them, which I bet you are quite familiar with.

The team should be blackballed because they brought in older kids to play against younger kids. That’s all. And it is a valid reason. One of the coaches has a 2023 on 91 and a 2022. His older son and one of his 2022 teammates from FL$ played in the tournament for “Sachem”. They didn’t even really try to hide it.

You can check out the Fall Brawl at Hecksher Park. It's in November. I think it's the Friday after Thanksgiving so it may be cold, but there have been town teams in it in the past.

When you saw this 50 year old coach, why didn't you express your opinion in a personal setting with him?

man you guys post some crazy responses, but pal this takes the cake on creep level. Your concern over what another grown man wears at a youth lacrosse tournament? C-R-E-E-P-Y.
I don't even remember what I was wearing that day, and most certainly don't remember the attire of an opposing coach.
You sound kinda obsessed, again creepy.
Why are we giving this Sachem group attention again? It was old 2 years ago. It was old 2 days ago. They cheat. Yada yada yada. My guess is that we don’t see them again anytime soon.

Next up is Blatant. Who’s the front runner? True Blue or 2-Way? Or do Rebels surprise?

I heard TBs faceoff kid moved on to greener pastures. Is that just another rumor? He’s is a legit player. Not sure TB remains competitive without him.

TBs second team. I think Rebels probably beat their top team. Rebels over 2-Way in the final.

Rebels are new. 2Way has holdbacks and has been around awhile. I take 2Way over Outlaws Rebels.
Not his dad. Don’t need to post on here to fish for compliments. Also, he is staying with the team. As far as the comment of him switching teams every year, TB ended up being a great fit for him. It’s all about time on the field, not the name of organization that matters to us. Have a great ‘18-‘19!
Didn't see S2S on blatant schedule, your not the Bandits stay local boys!

Some good games at Blatant today.
Well I guess no one saw that one coming . A Westchester team won .
The B bracket at Blatant was a joke. Bunch of no name teams. One was worse than the next. The A bracket looked a bit rusty but it is fall. Nothing was a standout.

Come on, we saw that the Rebels should have stayed the Outlaws. Nothing has changed. They need to stay in the B division.
Wait a minute!! Who is going to crush who, and who is assessing all of these team. Does anyone work...this is some real good comedy.

I think all of these, so called best LI teams should all play in a double elimination tournament and see who is the best. No excuses....just pure bragging rights for the year.

You seem to be posting in the forum in the middle of the day. Do you work?? The best teams did compete in Denver. Not sure why that isn’t clear.

Look through this board occasionally my son is a 2023 average player on an average team, his main sport is ice hockey. My older son is a junior starter at University of Penn. Do you want to continue the conversation?

Bandits, S2S, Express, Warriors, Leading Edge Elite, Primetime. I don’t care who plays who, that’s the best group of teams playing at any tournament this fall.

Ha ha. Get Out of Here.
I agree, that’s a very good group of teams. The talent level down at the North American Fall Invitational will Ben pretty good as well. BBL, Blue Star, DC Express ( which is Bethesda Lacrosse Club once they enter 8 grade) , Express North, Juiced Cherries, NH Tomahawks, Prime Time, Legacy, South Shore (NJ), and Sweetlax Upstate. No Bandits or Haugen who are top of the food chain, but a solid line up.

And Sat at Lehigh has Preds, Edge, Tristate (NJ), Mesa Fresh, BBL. Thats a solid batch.

Agreed-- good to see teams playing vs one another rather than avoiding

Dk doesn’t coach them anymore. Was no where near it today
S2S is on its way down they couldn't get done in Denver with all the rich parents and 4 day a week practicesthey will never be the Bandits! In a few years that club will be absorbed!
Bandits only beat S2S by 4. I would say they hung in there.
Sounds like they gave them a gift!

If you want to put it that way, looks like S2S only beat Warriors by 3, so they are closer to them than they are to Bandits. They’re all good teams, but let’s keep it in perspective S2S dad.

Who said they are trying to be the Bandits? They have existed a shorter time than any of these teams and made it to Denver. The are better than the Warriors who have been around awhile yet nobody is saying that team is going down. They could play lesser tourneys but then you would all cry foul that they are beating up teams in those A brackets. They are better than most of the teams at this age bracket.

All those same players, playing together for years, same coach, a goalie goal, and only win by 2! Oh yeah, 3, the one that went through the net no one had the integrity to admit until after the game...
Doesn't say much for Express than...4 goals???

Cornell gave up a goalie goal in a NCAA tournament game. MLL teams give up goalie goals. How bout just kudos to the young goalie. That is always a fun lax play.
Amazing how much hatred people have for S2S. They should play in lesser tourneys so you can all come back and cry that they are beating teams by 10 or more. Enjoy the games. It is almost over for most. Kudos to the Express goalie. My son is a Goalie and that is always his dream play! Sounds like it was an exciting game.
my son knows to bury the goalie if he tries that

There is no hatred with the boys of S2S. I just don't think people like DK. Glad he's not coaching 8th grade.
Express goalie is bigger than most so good luck with that. You may find your son on the wrong end of a beat-down.

Depends on the goalie: 1. Go to youtube 2. Type Scott Rogers Chris Bocklet 3. Revise post.
Your son better be really big, if he tries to bury the Express Goalie that went end to end! That Kid is a Brick House, and would probably run through or over anyone, once he's got a head of steam!
Ha--- That goalie is one of the best at 2023 and truly a brick house-- looks like he is in college--
the only one who would be buried if your son tried that against that express goalie is your son---

the kid is prob 16 yrs old playing at 2023 level... when i was a child, that called kids who played down "losers"... today, people say "he missed the cutoff... by 2 years!"
Not a 2022, and he only turned 13 over the summer...

The goalie is 13-- 2023, 8th grade
who cares how old he is...He should take more shots!!!! Only 3 goals for Express?

Know of at least 2 smash players that reclassed. Will never understand the reasoning for this. These kids wil always be looked upon as kids who couldn’t hack it. All are talking about it now.

all who??? the parents of the kids that got pushed to the back of the bus.
No the kids currently in ninth grade laughing at the two boys now in eighth grade, that’s who. Oh yeah, and the parents are talking about it, and not in a good way. Poor boys are being ridiculed by adults and made fun of by kids. But that might get that huge quarter ride to a D1 school. Well worth it.

Exactly. The re-class talk usually ignores the social impact on a kid. Of course he is mocked, viewed as a dummy by everyone. No one says it to the parents face but its a fog that hangs around the kid. That impact much greater than upside of beating up on younger kids for sports glory.

Its really too bad the debate isnt about too many kids playing up. Thats what families should aspire to. Research shows kids who play and work and socialize with older kids elevate themselves and are strivers. Kids held back act dumb and become dumber to fit in. The competitive dads see youth sports stars not what their kid will become as a man.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't ever get involved in the holdback debate because honestly its just an old debate that will never change. My son is 13 and will be 14 in April I don't mind him playing against holdbacks it makes him try harder and want to beat them because they are older, just my opinion. However I do like the above post, makes a lot of sense.

agree with above.my 15 yr old jr has been on varsity since 9th grade. he is a much more mature person/player because of it
#nohonorplayingdown
see yall bitches tomorrow at the tournament..
90+1 keeping it classy. Inflating the scores from today. Wolfpack vs. S2S was only 10-1 not 20-0 they put into tourney machine. Wonder if they over inflated their game against the Machine as well. Wolfpack is a good team you don’t need to over inflate the scores!

It is true two Smash players reclassed. But neither have moved down to the Bandits they have elected to stay on Smash both teams coached by JS No Florida boys there at the tournaments either. Think you need a better source
Congrats 90+1... can't wait till the summer "Hangover" when they can't find "Doug" in Florida and they realize how old "Alan" is.... they are a 2 man Wolfpack.....
Anyone know where the Machine team is from?

Yet they seem to need to over inflate the scores and can’t admit someone scored on them. The pack is a great team. They have been practicing 3 days a week since they were 5 years old. I have a kid on the S2S team and never tried to say he is a rockstar. Middle of the road player who loves the game. His team is brand new. They changed up the roster this year and this was their first tournament. They played hard against the Wolfpack and were the only team to score on them. I was proud they didn’t give up. Maybe the Wolfpack parents and kids should use it as an example. Our parents complimented the other team and our kids gave it their all regardless. Listening to the Pack parents is an embarrassment. Talking crap about the team when they had no idea was sitting next to them. Classy. If they think they are so great and we aren’t worth playing then go play the teams in our age group that you think count. May seem pathetic to you to lose to a team a year younger but competition is what it is and these kids didn’t give up.

It was not S2S A team that they beat. In fact every team at this tournament was a B or C team that are doormats at every tournament. Wolfpack are a good team and should not have played in this tournament. It was not a good challenge for them. Most 2024 A teams would have beaten on all these teams.

Why would you call any team a doormat. Hope your kid isn’t as big an a$$ as you are.

Maybe the Wolfpack parents and kids should use it as an example. Our parents complimented the other team and our kids gave it their all regardless. Listening to the Pack parents is an embarrassment. Talking crap about the team when they had no idea was sitting next to them. Classy. If they think they are so great and we aren’t worth playing then go play the teams in our age group that you think count. May seem pathetic to you to lose to a team a year younger but competition is what it is and these kids didn’t give up.


I agree they were a great team and will probably be a force at WSYL, but why play in this tournament? What exactly did they accomplish it was a B tournament so what it was a year older if not the same level. If they are such hotshots they should go play in a 2023 AA tournament then let's see how well they do.

Why would you call any team a doormat. Hope your kid isn’t as big an a$$ as you are.




It is what it is. Sometimes it hurts when you rip the bandaid off. This was a good tournament for those team and the Wolfpack ruined for them all. The point is correct, put any A team in the bracket, 2023 or 2024, and those teams get beat pretty badly.

My kid actually enjoyed playing the Wolfpack. The competition was a challenge. I just don’t like that they need to over inflate the score. Why is that necessary?

Where was the score overinflated? And why are you making such a big deal about the score. Whether they won by 10, 20 or 30 it doesn’t matter. It could have been any score the pack wanted to make it. A few goals is completely inconsequential, so relax. In the end, you’re right. The pack should not have been there. Our understanding was that this was an A tourney. We expected VERY good competition. That obviously didn’t happen. Something definitely went wrong somewhere. Believe me, we know we have a very good team and we are looking for challenges to get better. Tourneys like that don’t help us at all, in fact if anything they hurt the team.

Better check your stat sheet fact boy, because 99% of the goals were assisted, meaning there still are no stars on Wolfpack. None. Everyone is a threat. Our boys move the ball and beat you as a well oiled, completely self-less, TEAM.

Your comment shows that you are just another jealous Pack hater, who was not even at the game yesterday. If you were, you would have known that there were no WP standouts. But there never is with WP. Now you know our secret.

That’s a very nice feel good pep talk you just gave us, but you may want to save it next time, for when it applies. You got a little carried away, there dad.

Almost every kid on all the teams “gave up” well before the end of all the games. Most gave up after a few minutes. Not trying to stir the pot, but let’s try to keep it real here.

And if you are referring to the frustrated cheap shot artist, I don’t consider that admirable behavior and I certainly wouldn’t condone it by referring to it as “not giving up.”

I can only talk to my sons game as I didn’t see the others, but the score for the S2S game was 10-1 not 20-0 as posted. It may not matter to your rockstars but it matters to a team that just played their 3rd game together as a team. Your coaches knew who you were playing. They could have pulled you out. Sorry that playing our kids hurt your teams. [ChillLaxin].

Ok, this is one big lie. We all have been at this for along time. Your coach and director knew what teams were going to be there for some time, you yourself knew for a few days. “The pack”, lol, had sole time to dropout. Organizers contact the coaches to review brackets and scheduling from a week to two weeks before. The schedule comes out three to four days before. YOU WERE NOT SURPRISED BY ANYTHING WHEN YOU GOT THERE. You enter tourneys all the time that don’t help you. You only play up in B and C tournaments.

“Every goal was assisted”. That your claim to fame. What does that actually mean. The opposite is every goal was scored with a player stealing the ball, running down the feild and scoring without passing. Did you think that post out. Come on bro, you have a good team, but you should be the spokeswolf.

You may want to check who you are playing next week. Will be better than this week but I am sure not up to your standards. Play the Bandits. They are in next week’s tourney.
They love to pump their chests about playing up, but how many holdbacks are on that team? They were all bigger than the 8th graders they were playing. You're not playing up if you're the same age.
I recall a few years back "the Pack" trying to hijack this forum only to be smoked the next week by a startup S2S A team. Let us know when you want to return to the deep end.
Ok, have to jump in here. As I was at the tournament. First things first. The wolfpack was and is a good team. But they really did nothing for themselves. Why show up to a tournament thats not even competitive. Shame on the tournament directors for allowing it. Really if the boys are going to play up the rules should be played as the game was designed. I have never seen so many flags. This is a contact sport and should be played as such.

I didn't have travel lacrosse (shows my age) but played some hockey and we couldn't play in a non "a" tournament with our team we were only allowed 3 "a" players for each team regardless of the age group playing up. Something for the directors to think about. But as long as we keep forking over the money then they wont care.

Everyone needs to relax here. Its really not that big of deal who beat who by what. As these are 13-14 year olds. Its fall ball first off. Enjoy your kids cause they can play and they are healthy to run around. Listen 99% of these boys aren't going to play in college. Does that make them "doormats" I don't think so. So you should really watch what you say as it only take 1 injury to your kids to put him on a doormat team. These kids take their opinions from us. We treat the other team like door mats then they will also. Then when another kids responds to that, everyone is shocked.

So remember this is a game, play it for fun. Last I looked we all are paying for our kids to play. Thinking about that. Some of you are paying 4000-5000 a year. IF they are good they will be good no matter what the score was in 8th grade "B" tournament. I know kids who don't play travel but yet go division 1. So doormat dad get a life. go back to your age group. as if we could play full contact maybe the game would be different.

Just my opinion
Stop the BS. The WP had no idea this tourney would be a walk through. This team has and always will seek out competition. They have been playing at the highest level they can since they are 6 years old. A 2 man team??? Every starter on this team is a serious threat and their 2nd lines show no weakness. 60 goals on the day spread out amongst at least 10 players. I watched the games and they played hard nose lacrosse like they are coached to do. Forget the score the ability to compete with this team was no where to be found. These are 2024 boys who know how to play the game and get better every single weekend. Attack stick skills and vision are off the charts, the middies can run and dodge with anyone and the D was lock down. Not to mention the goalies are as legit as they come. Don't hate because you lost and think this team needed to prove something. And Mr A team big mouths worry about the Bandits and not the 2024 squad. Focus your energy on that .

Your brain is definitely not overly inflated. The scores don't come from the teams. They come from the ref's, after coaches from both teams sign off on them. Then they go to tourney machine. Get a clue before you go off on one of you tirades about some topic that you made up in that confused mind of yours. Regardless, every game was a lot to zero. What difference does it make if it was 10-0 or 20-0??

Nice try daddy-o but everyone knows the pack has never lost, or even had anything remotely close to a competitive game, with 2024 s2s.

I understand that you are embarrassed even somewhat humiliated that your sons 2023 team got lit up... ok, set on fire, by wolfpack. But does making stuff up make you feel all that better??

Wow, that made absolutely no sense... elite teams look for C teams to beat up on to make them better. Completely brilliant!! I never would have thought of that! But, one good deed deserves another, so now I got one for you. If that were true, then the pack definitely did their homework and found the absolute BEST tourney of the WORST teams on Long Island, because the teams at that tourney couldn't have been any worse. You may want to think baseball for those young'ns.

FYI dad, the "doormat" comment came from one of your degenerate 8th grade parents. And, for the record, the contact wouldn't have helped. Skill wins every time. Been there done that. And if you played the game, then you know.

Having seen Bandits since 3rd grade and Wolfpack for past 2 years, I am confident in saying the formula they use to make an awesome lax team is the best. Their teams have smacked by sons team around in precision, speed and smarts. WP looks the same as Bandits, maybe less some star power. And the squad uses on-age WSYL players to get ready as other big names fail to adjust to losing their holdbacks.

It is smart to play up vs older B teams as this time because it is part of WSYL prep. Learn how to play with bigger, more aggro opponents to reinforce ball movement and seeing the field fully. If the B teams get embarrassed, that is their problem.

I always hear parents marveling at how great Bandits and WP play the game when on sidelines watching them for first time. They are impressive. More teams should follow the model to build skills against taller, bigger, faster opponents.

Bro, you seriously don't know what an "assist" is! You need to find a new sport or a new website, or how about both.

Ok, this is one big lie. We all have been at this for along time. Your coach and director knew what teams were going to be there for some time, you yourself knew for a few days. “The pack”, lol, had sole time to dropout. Organizers contact the coaches to review brackets and scheduling from a week to two weeks before. The schedule comes out three to four days before. YOU WERE NOT SURPRISED BY ANYTHING WHEN YOU GOT THERE. You enter tourneys all the time that don’t help you. You only play up in B and C tournaments.

This is something that Nine-D-One has been doing for years with their holdbacks. Junior (the kid who should be a 2021 but is a 2022 holdback -- and plays up on the 2020 team because he's that good) used to routinely play down on the 2023 team so he could play with his brothers -- they would enter the B bracket of 2022 divisions and then when they beat up on the weak 2022 teams, it would be all over their website that the Bandits played up and won. This is about marketing and brand awareness. How do you think so few organizations have been successful every year trotting out multiple teams at an age group?

Where was the score overinflated? And why are you making such a big deal about the score. Whether they won by 10, 20 or 30 it doesn’t matter. It could have been any score the pack wanted to make it. A few goals is completely inconsequential, so relax. In the end, you’re right. The pack should not have been there. Our understanding was that this was an A tourney. We expected VERY good competition. That obviously didn’t happen. Something definitely went wrong somewhere.

Wow, that made absolutely no sense... elite teams look for C teams to beat up on to make them better. Completely brilliant!! I never would have thought of that! But, one good deed deserves another, so now I got one for you. If that were true, then the pack definitely did their homework and found the absolute BEST tourney of the WORST teams on Long Island, because the teams at that tourney couldn't have been any worse. You may want to think baseball for those young'ns.

See, this is where you make yourself look like an donk with your stick to baseball comment. The kids in this tournament didn’t pretend to be anything they weren’t. Nobody running around saying they were the best. They are kids who want to play lax and were in a skill appropriate tournament. You were delusional if you looked at the list of teams playing and thought this is top talent. Have you ever heard of the Machine before? As stated earlier your directors could have pulled you out. They didn’t. Your lineup for this weekend will be more of the same. Maybe you should speak up and say you want to play with some of the teams that went to Denver.

Hey baseball boy. Never heard of the Machine before unless it’s the Ohio version, but I have heard of the Preds before, which are hands down the top program in Westchester. And the ‘23 team went to Denver last year. Yeah, we did our homework. THAT is the team we were told we would be playing, and the reason we were at your little tourney. Obviously there was a miscommunication somewhere. We gain nothing by playing what amounts to moving pylons. That’s right, one good insult deserves another.

Proved my point they the Pack parents are a$$holes! You did your homework? Hope your kid is smarter than you are or he will just be another dumb jock. If you did your homework you would have known exactly what you were getting. When you saw the schedule and saw a team you have never heard of, it should have been your first clue genius. So who on your roster for this weekend are you thinking is top competition? FLG? BBL North or Garden City?? No Denver competitors there.

I have a kid on the S2S team and never tried to say he is a rockstar. Middle of the road player who loves the game. His team is brand new. They changed up the roster this year and this was their first tournament. They played hard against the Wolfpack and were the only team to score on them. I was proud they didn’t give up. Maybe the Wolfpack parents and kids should use it as an example. Our parents complimented the other team and our kids gave it their all regardless. Listening to the Pack parents is an embarrassment. Talking crap about the team when they had no idea was sitting next to them. Classy. If they think they are so great and we aren’t worth playing then go play the teams in our age group that you think count. May seem pathetic to you to lose to a team a year younger but competition is what it is and these kids didn’t give up.


That’s a very nice feel good pep talk you just gave us, but you may want to save it next time, for when it applies. You got a little carried away, there dad.

Almost every kid on all the teams “gave up” well before the end of all the games. Most gave up after a few minutes. Not trying to stir the pot, but let’s try to keep it real here.

And if you are referring to the frustrated cheap shot artist, I don’t consider that admirable behavior and I certainly wouldn’t condone it by referring to it as “not giving up.”



If there is a scrum next to the crease and the goalie is in the crease and your little all star is hitting the goalie, maybe you should teach him that it might get a little physical. Goalies a nice kid. But dont start something if you are afraid of getting a little physical.
OK. Time to set the record straight. I don't normally participate in mindless back and forth like this, but to tell you the truth I am embarrassed as an 8th grade parent. This entire topic is the result of an 8th grade parent accusing the wolfpack team of reporting a false score to tourney machine, and signing up for a well known B tournament to beat up on B teams. Both accusations are ridiculous. I am a coach and have participated in many tournaments that use tourney machine. No team nor coach reports anything to tourney machine. That comes from the tournament directors who get their scores from the refs. As far as the Mustang Classic goes, this tourney has been around a very long time. It is a well known "A" tournament on Long Island. This is NOT Battle of the B's. On occasion, B teams enter the tournament to see how they stack up against good competition. Wolfpack had no reason to think they would be matched up against four B teams. The 2023 dads on here, and their lack of knowledge of the subject matter, and completely arbitrary accusations, is an embarrassment for the entire grade.

I've seen incorrect scores on TourneyMachine in the past. Sometimes they crowdsource the scores and those results are usually comical.

You should be embarrassed. There were no A teams on the roster for this tournament. Mr. I did my homework obviously didn’t because he saw the schedule several days before. When you have NEVER heard of a team they probably aren’t that good. If they mistook S2S for the A team fine (but their directors should have known that). Point is none of the teams that were there pretended to be anything they weren’t . My kids team didn’t give up. I would never call insult someone’s kids like that. They were talking $hit about the teams on the sidelines. So rude.

Hey guy. Your kid got spanked. It’s now Tuesday. 3 days since then. Time to Let it go. And stop making [ChillLaxin] up. Your kid was over it before the game even ended and he was the one that played. Not you, daddy who lives his life through his 13 year old. If you are getting so bent out of shape about a dumb fall kids lacrosse game, you seriously need to get a life. It’s obviously pretty pathetic.

yes this whole thread falls under ridiculous. i think if wolfpack played 2024, they'd get bashed. they played up, they get bashed based on who they play. sort of a no-win situation. no one doubts how good they are. you put any top 3 team in any age and have them play up against certain b teams, same result. but a lot of the grief they get on here is caused by their obnoxious parents. and its seeping down into the kids. seeing as how you are involved so much in the lacrosse world you should see that. and no one really trusts/has much faith in the tournament organizer, who has a certain connection to a lacrosse club, which had multiple teams in this. and they had to make sure the 91 teams wouldnt play each other and there wasn't much other competition. so the whole idea of them, now knowing who they would play when their club essentially made the schedule is wrong. i sure wouldn't wanted to have froze my you know what off to sit through that. sure, maybe they made a mistake and go the score wrong. you typically dont't see that much of a delta though. At the end of the day, you play who you play and the results speak for themselves. one of the best teams at their age.

Really it’s the tournament who got over on everyone. They filled the spot with a team that was not in character with the rest. It’s a shame since losing and winning teams lost out. The winners just pissed away money that could have been used for a proper level tournament. As a parent I’d be pissed at my club for stealing a whole day of my time. Everyone likes to win but at some point the joy is lost when you know it’s a mismatch of talent level. Was that winning T-shirt or draw string bag really worth the day? For the unfortunate teams that played in an over matched tournament, move on, it happens often.

Same s2s dad. Still not over it. I’ll be sure and tell Spallina that he and his Bandits are entered into another B tourney this weekend. You are an unending source of really dumb, uninformed information, aren’t you. By the way, don’t you have anything better to do with your time than stalk a 12 year old lacrosse team, tracking their every tournament?? Does that seem very weird, even sick, to you??? A little obsessed maybe?

Same s2s dad. Still not over it. I’ll be sure and tell Spallina that he and his Bandits are entered into another B tourney this weekend. You are an unending source of really dumb, uninformed information, aren’t you. By the way, don’t you have anything better to do with your time than stalk a 12 year old lacrosse team, tracking their every tournament?? Does that seem very weird, even sick, to you??? A little obsessed maybe?


S2S A team would thump the”pack’

Both accusations are ridiculous. I am a coach and have participated in many tournaments that use tourney machine. No team nor coach reports anything to tourney machine. That comes from the tournament directors who get their scores from the refs. As far as the Mustang Classic goes, this tourney has been around a very long time. It is a well known "A" tournament on Long Island. This is NOT Battle of the B's. On occasion, B teams enter the tournament to see how they stack up against good competition. Wolfpack had no reason to think they would be matched up against four B teams. The 2023 dads on here, and their lack of knowledge of the subject matter, and completely arbitrary accusations, is an embarrassment for the entire grade.


You should be embarrassed. There were no A teams on the roster for this tournament. Mr. I did my homework obviously didn’t because he saw the schedule several days before. When you have NEVER heard of a team they probably aren’t that good. If they mistook S2S for the A team fine (but their directors should have known that). Point is none of the teams that were there pretended to be anything they weren’t . My kids team didn’t give up. I would never call insult someone’s kids like that. They were talking $hit about the teams on the sidelines. So rude.


Hey guy. Your kid got spanked. It’s now Tuesday. 3 days since then. Time to Let it go. And stop making [ChillLaxin] up. Your kid was over it before the game even ended and he was the one that played. Not you, daddy who lives his life through his 13 year old. If you are getting so bent out of shape about a dumb fall kids lacrosse game, you seriously need to get a life. It’s obviously pretty pathetic.
They are like that. Horrible display.

Not stalking anyone. My other son is playing. Maybe I will watch the WP play so I can listen to the parents be obnoxious on the sidelines. So entertaining!

Jealousy is a very sad phenomenon. There is always a large percentage of people that are jealous of talent and success. Happens in every aspect of life. Sports, being a microcosm of life, is a constant and vivid reminder, as successful teams like the Patriots and the Yankee's are hated by the masses. Unfortunately, and sadly, this even applies to youth sports and small children, as parents attempt to relive their childhood through their children and become the sports star that they never were. These parents are insecure individuals who experienced little to no success as children, and more often than not, the same as adults. As a result they "hate" to see it in other's. It makes them feel "less than". Real successful and self assured individual's don't hate. There is no jealousy. Time to take a good look in the mirror, people, and take an accurate inventory of your life. Let's get things in perspective, because hating on little kids is just wrong.
I have been trying to read posts on the 2023 board but it keeps redirecting me back to the 2024 board and WP team??? Any thoughts on the NLF event weekend? Who is the team to beat?
Bandits don't play up but Wolf Pack does? I'd like to see Wolfpack beat the Bandits.

WP has put themselves in a very easy bracket, again; just as they have done every fall for years because they are much better than the competition at 2024 (in the fall tourneys). They are an excellent team and have been since jump street, but now have a WSYL roster, so several players are likely young 2023’s (though the parents will claim to the contrary). I’m not sure how this will affect their tournament choices for the summer. Either way, they know that they are not going to be able to compete against A level 2023 teams and will return to playing 2024 in the spring and summers. Please move on.
As a matter of fact, there is only one challenging bracket this weekend. Bandits, West Coast Stars, Atlantic Coast All Stars, Edge and Thunder would not be scored upon by any of the other teams in the tournament, WP included. They are all outstanding teams. If the Atlantic Coast All Stars come with a full roster, they are unbeatable. Edge is big, physical and skilled, also. Both are stacked with older players. The Bandits are still an amazing team, but have become heavily dependent on one player, offensively. They will be tested for certain.

Really it’s the tournament who got over on everyone. They filled the spot with a team that was not in character with the rest. It’s a shame since losing and winning teams lost out. The winners just pissed away money that could have been used for a proper level tournament. As a parent I’d be pissed at my club for stealing a whole day of my time. Everyone likes to win but at some point the joy is lost when you know it’s a mismatch of talent level. Was that winning T-shirt or draw string bag really worth the day? For the unfortunate teams that played in an over matched tournament, move on, it happens often.


This was def a B tournament. Especially if you rate AA, A, B. That said, WP was originally supposed to play up at the Pumpkin Shootout which had a stronger A presence. Due to weather that tournament was cancelled and the majority of teams were enrolled in Mustang. WP isnt out there looking to embarrass teams or play down so stop the BS. Your coaches has as much time as WP to look at the schedule and say something. You win some you lose some. You lost to one of the top teams in the country. Say what you will but they are. Learn from it and build on it. My son lost to them, on age, 10-1 last year. Loved the experience and took a lot away from it.

Um, read the post before you reply little man. I said my son lost to WP last year 10-1. We are an A team that was at the tournament and were surprised by the low level of play. We were one of the teams rescheduled from Pumpkin Shootout The teams we played, much like WP, changed. Our mustang schedule and bracket was much weaker and well below the quality that would have been at Pumpkin Shootout.

You would like to think so, wouldn't you jealous daddy hater. But history dictates otherwise, unfortunately for you. Apparently you have been one of the lucky ones, where the pack hasn't played your sons team, until... now. But there are plenty of dads reading this, that have kids on what they consider A teams, that have played the Pack, and lost! Plenty. Because the pack has been playing up for years, and far more often than not, the pack wins those contests. Sorry Charlie!

They lose to Taz more often than not and can’t beat most Maryland teams anymore. They are a bunch of tiny has-beens. You’re kid peaked in 5th grade Pack Rat. The road is gonna get bumpy! LOL!
Now go play in your own sandbox.

Never beaten an A team. Express, Bandits, S2S, igloo, prime time, preds red.
They had an oppty to play the Warriors and refused (co-champs, wahoo!) after routinely getting destroyed by them in scrimmages. If it was about development, you play that last game - you guys refused b/c the T-shirt means more than actually testing yourselves. Keep ducking all talent and calling yourself the best 7th grade team on the planet, we’re all jealous, wolf pack mommy....

Oh no, the wolfpack didn’t get the top ranking in WSYL that just came out. A blow to their fragile egos. Come on boys, give us the excuses. Let them ride, best team in America.

WP has put themselves in a very easy bracket, again; just as they have done every fall for years because they are much better than the competition at 2024 (in the fall tourneys). They are an excellent team and have been since jump street, but now have a WSYL roster, so several players are likely young 2023’s (though the parents will claim to the contrary). I’m not sure how this will affect their tournament choices for the summer. Either way, they know that they are not going to be able to compete against A level 2023 teams and will return to playing 2024 in the spring and summers. Please move on.
As a matter of fact, there is only one challenging bracket this weekend. Bandits, West Coast Stars, Atlantic Coast All Stars, Edge and Thunder would not be scored upon by any of the other teams in the tournament, WP included. They are all outstanding teams. If the Atlantic Coast All Stars come with a full roster, they are unbeatable. Edge is big, physical and skilled, also. Both are stacked with older players. The Bandits are still an amazing team, but have become heavily dependent on one player, offensively. They will be tested for certain.


Bandits play up when they practice twice per week with JS 2022 team. This weekend Bandits will be missing several players so this will be a great test for them being undermanned so yes I am in agreement they will be tested. This is pretty much the last year and a half of this 'my team is better than yours" nonsense . Pretty soon NO ONE CARES WHO WINS

My feeling is the Bandits have proved themselves many many many times so this isnt about them. For me this is more about WP parents trying to put them at same level as Bandits. Bandits are superior in every position from attack to coaching. The bigger question is why WP thinks they should be higher than Taz, being that Taz pretty much has won every time they have played

The bigger picture is why are we discussing WP on 2023? Nobody cares other than 91 parents posting on this thread.

Either way, they know that they are not going to be able to compete against A level 2023 teams and will return to playing 2024 in the spring and summers. Please move on.
As a matter of fact, there is only one challenging bracket this weekend. Bandits, West Coast Stars, Atlantic Coast All Stars, Edge and Thunder would not be scored upon by any of the other teams in the tournament, WP included. They are all outstanding teams. If the Atlantic Coast All Stars come with a full roster, they are unbeatable. Edge is big, physical and skilled, also. Both are stacked with older players. The Bandits are still an amazing team, but have become heavily dependent on one player, offensively. They will be tested for certain.


Bandits play up when they practice twice per week with JS 2022 team. This weekend Bandits will be missing several players so this will be a great test for them being undermanned so yes I am in agreement they will be tested. This is pretty much the last year and a half of this 'my team is better than yours" nonsense . Pretty soon NO ONE CARES WHO WINS


My feeling is the Bandits have proved themselves many many many times so this isnt about them. For me this is more about WP parents trying to put them at same level as Bandits. Bandits are superior in every position from attack to coaching. The bigger question is why WP thinks they should be higher than Taz, being that Taz pretty much has won every time they have played


The bigger picture is why are we discussing WP on 2023? Nobody cares other than 91 parents posting on this thread.

WP would get crushed by 2023 ACS team playing in NY this weekend. Time to move the conversation back to 2023.

WP has put themselves in a very easy bracket, again; just as they have done every fall for years because they are much better than the competition at 2024 (in the fall tourneys). They are an excellent team and have been since jump street, but now have a WSYL roster, so several players are likely young 2023’s (though the parents will claim to the contrary).

It’s almost a week since your kids suffered their beat down by Wolfpack. And I haven’t seen a single post in days from a Wolfpack parent. Get over the obsession already. Move on with your life.
Hey guys, I’m back! Been really busy the last couple of days. Sorry about that. Didn’t mean to ignore you guys. I can see the Pack is still a hot topic on here. Where’d we leave off?? ~Packdaddy
Has anyone heard if the Fall Lacrosse Classic is being cancelled? Not sure how much snow fell out in Long Island yesterday.

We left off with your kid’s team of tiny kids not being able to beat an average town team. Go to bed.

Hi daddy. Great topic! So glad you brought it up! But, the GC team that our boys played was no average ‘23 town team. No, indeed! GC used their 2022’s to play 2024 WP. Confirmed by multiple GC players. Gotta love their honesty.

The ‘22 GC team had just finished playing their last game and went undefeated in their bracket, when it was time for the ‘23 GC to play WP.

GC ‘23 had tied twice, at that point, with a 5 to 5 tie vs BBL. Pack CRUSHED BBL 14-3. You get the idea. GC ‘23 was in for a VERY long day against the Pack.

So they grabbed their ‘22’s for the game vs the Pack.

Some very good players, no doubt! Gave the Pack a great game, but the ref lost track of time and let the game run two minutes beyond regulation time.

So in reality, Pack won the game by 2 goals, against a very good team, albeit 2 YEARS OLDER THAN THE PACK.

A great game on both sides! Fun to watch. Some of those ‘22 GC boys are very good!

So that was our day today. How did your boys team do today?

you mean how without your 5 have holdbacks, which are clearly your hole team , . You would be average at best. All 2023 today, don’t listen to the holdback face off kids parents. GC was the only true B team in the bracket and you struggled with us . If it was not for your 2 best players(middies) you would be done.

Easily... I don't know why you guys waste your time playing 23. I'm not one of these parents who assumes every kid is a holdback although I'm sure a few of those guys are. I could care less. Why not play up and see what you can really do?

Lets put it this way, 100% of the Wolfpack team will be at the WSYL in July. Every single kid. I highly doubt ant team going, can say that.
Are you kidding me? This is a pretty pathetic post. You think the head coach of a multiple state championship varsity team is going to use holdbacks against 7th graders? Come on. And to say the kids told you that is absolutely ridiculous. Your team is good. I will give the kids and parents credit for that. But Garden City doesn’t play to win in the race to zero of the club lacrosse scene. As you can see, they had 3 ties against teams with varying ability so everyone could play. They play to get kids better and keep them playing for the entirety of high school. Not to win a game tournament in 8th grade. There are 23 kids in 8th grade on that team and everyone plays even time. And 17 of them just finished a middle school football season undefeated and will be going to watch the varsity Long Island championship football game on Friday. So cut the complaining. Cut the excuses. You tied older kids. Some good. Some average. But much different than most B teams you play because there are A players that many of your kids will not be better athletes than. Good luck in Denver. It is a fun tournament. Now go challenge yourself with the best teams in your grade.

No horse in race, but I watched the GC team play BBL. That was not a good team. The GC team that played WP was a completely different team.

S2S daddy, is that you?? It is you! Welcome to the conversation. Hoping you can enlighten all of us as to how WP beat BBL in a 14-3 route while GC tied them 5-5. Most rational individuals (including GC obviously) would look at that and say the Pack is going to demolish GC. No point in playing the game.

There you have it folks, another great day for our boys. So proud of them playing and succeeding against 2022’s, in their first real game of the fall season.
The blatant lying in these posts is uncalled for. Which #/player/position was different for GC? Or did you mean it metaphorically?

Really? Either you or your children are not being truthful. After careful examination of the evidence, any prudent observer would conclude, you are the one not being truthful. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, guess what? It’s a duck.

This is what they do when they get challenged. They make excuses. Typical.

No horse in the race? You just routinely watch 2023 B level lacrosse games with absolutely no horse I the race? That seems a bit off...

I watched the BBL WP game for a bit. WP looked very good but what stuck out was the lack of ability to score from anything other than shots from close range. Great skill set but coach cried on any hit of consequence by BBL. WP parents are a obnoxious bunch for sure. They will need some size to compete next year. Enjoy the time in the sun.
Please continue WP talk on another thread
now that is funny, first using 2022 on a town team, i have never heard of a town team doing that, especially not GC where you wait your turn in the program, a program that goes to the LIC or NYSC each year, so your 2022 claim is a lie, and so is the clock bs. If your are a WP parent, get over it. enjoy the ride to the WSYL, but don't disparage a town, a team, a coach or the kids.
You have this whole thing backwards, a 24 team played well against a 23 team, see the positive and focus on your goal. To freak out now over a fall game is nuts, so much more pressure to come. You won't make it to July.

the gc 23's played up then came back to play with actual team.
True Blue and JC must be happy that nobody is talking about them anymore. Boy they fell off the planet.

Now that’s some creative damage control. I like that. Total BS, but love the effort.

Not a WP parent, but now I’m curious. Did these 23’s not play in the previous two games? Because nobody from GC has explained how GC ties BBL which WP obviously blew out. Based on the score, the game was not competitive. Somebody from GC please explain that. Because to this point, all I’m hearing is a lot of bragging about the GC program, but no explanation. That is the question that needs to be answered.

No explanation needed. A tie game means the teams were evenly matched, which is what we should all want when we attend a tournament. Both teams were challenged. That is a good thing. This bracket was set up well based on the amount of tie games. Kudos to the directors
Wow ...not a wp parent.....sure ...lol...Let it go already the tiurnament is long over...We get it ...the wolfpack is a good team....Move on already
Hey Wolf Pack act like your older brothers the Bandits and stay off of BOTC, or go to your younger thread. You parents are disgracing the organization.

Explanation options for you to choose from, please pick one or all of the above.

1. BBL played poorly against WP
2. GC played better than previous games against WP
3. WP did not play as well against GC
4. All of the above

Yes please. the parents are a bunch of spoiled brats. BTW we are part of 91 not WP and everyone there knows how they act. They also have about 5 or 6 kids on their team that should be playing 2023 , so why they brag is beyond me.

Again, not a WP parent, but to an unbiased observer, that is simply not logical. Based on that answer, I have to side with the WP parent on this one.

Yes, this is the 2023 group not 2024 people should not be on here commenting about how your older brothers the Bandits lost to the ACS this weekend.

An explanation is most definitely in order. Getting on here and arrogantly saying "I'm from GC, how dare you challenge this program" isn't an answer. This is youth lacrosse, the Wild West of youth sports. Pulling stud players from other teams, is beyond commonplace. I looked at the scores. While I don't know anything about Wolfpack, something definitely stinks here. Sounds to me like GC is bashing Wolfpack parents as a smokescreen, to divert attention away from something they are hiding. What is GC hiding? The scores definitely don't add up.

GC is a reputable team. The coach of the 2023’s is the varsity coach and has never played to win. He consistently put that town team in A brackets for the last 4 years, that I know of, and they got beat down more often than not. My sons team generally beats them by close to 10 goals every time they play. The coach doesn’t worry about that. He’s doing it to make the varsity program better.

When it comes down to it, it’s merely a matter of matchups. Maybe WP leading scorer was shut down by a GC defender. Maybe WP middies are not big or strong enough to cover the big fast GC kid (coach’s kid I think). Maybe GC dominated the X. Maybe WP defender could stop a GC attack. All it takes is one of those things to happen and the game is drastically changed. Comparing common opponents can be used as a guide, but it doesn’t really mean much when the horn blows.

To come on here and accuse them of cheating just because they beat a team that’s a year younger is a little ridiculous, don’t you think? WP is a, primarily, 2024 team. They will beat a bunch of 2023’s, for sure, but definitely not most of them. They are supposed to lose. JA is smart, just like JS, he plays them up in weak tourneys so they can get used to bigger opponents. That doesn’t mean more skilled, just bigger.
Wolf pack losers 💩

A pack parent here. I can honestly say, none of those generalities apply to what happened Saturday. Not one. You are a GC person, but you weren't even at the game on Saturday. In fact, you don't even have a son in the 2023 grad year. If you were there, you wouldn't post about scenario's that have no relevance to your case. Not a single one. The sole purpose of your post is to defend GC's integrity, which I can I appreciate, but I believe the poster is looking for a first hand account of what happened, based on the facts of the case, of which you have none. Just more GC... "we are the best, do you know how we are, how dare you, blah, blah, blah BS".

The only comment thus far, that has made any sense at all, is from the guy that posted about how "the '23's just got back from playing up". But it ended there. The only explanation I can think of, besides pulling from the 2022 team, would be if those TOP '23 players that played up, didn't play in the first two games. That is the only plausible explanation, besides pulling 2022 kids. But, that has not been presented.

Something definitely happened between GC's first two games and their last game. Something very significant. BBL was not a good team. No matchup problems. NOT good. Bad. Understand? We really don't care what you did, because in the end GC was a great test for our boys, but when something as dramatic that happens, people are going to naturally ask questions, no matter who you are. You are not exempt, just because you have a GC zip code. If there aren't any answers, the talk begins. Still no answers.

Now, you can come back and take the low road once again, and criticize the pack parents or take the high road and tell us how great GC is, but we all know that is all just to deflect attention away from the issue at hand. At this point, it sounds like we will never know.

Bro. You weren’t even at the game. GC didn’t win. It ended in a tie. Why are you commenting if you weren’t even at the game??
Hey BOTC... Can you set up a new thread just for WP & GC parents. This doesnt look like its going to end anytime soon.

People acting this is some legal deposition, demanding answers. It's a gossip board. Go do your own private investigation and go away.

Bro. You didn’t even lose, bro? And you’re still calling everyone a cheater?? Bro, you need to get ahold of that fragile ego of yours. Seriously, Bro. It’s ok that your little junior bro didn’t beat a good town team, bro. It’s ok, though bro. I’m sure he’ll still get that D1 full ride, bro. You can send coaches his 7th grade highlight films, bro. Bro, they’ll be super stoked at how awesome he is, bro. But be sure to leave out the GC game, bro. Don’t want coaches seeing little bro all banged up, bro.

What will the Puppypack do when they play the big boys without the protection of LI refs? Parents will be beside themselves if this is any indication. Small and fast won’t be enough in another year or 2. Better grab a 1/2 team of holdbacks for the future. Just the beginning of the collapse.
Very impressed with the 91 box teams. To be very good at both field and box is impressive. Was there a method to the split of the teams at the maple leaf kickoff or just random.
So looks like the turtles are not as good as all the dads said they were going to be. They said” they can run with all the A teams on Li”.
Today they struggled to beat B teams today.
They even lost to one b team.
Well.....what will the excuse be now?
It’s a new team,not enough practice or the other teams cheated?!?
Well the are a good B team at least.

LOL......Here we go! Stirring the pot!
See and believe what you want. The first game was sloppy all around for both teams. The rest of the games they took care of business. At some point, in the near future, the hopes is that this talent pool can and will "run"/compete with those self appointed "A" teams.
Stop,their third game against another B team they only won by two goals!
Hey they looked good today I’m not saying they are bad at all. But to play with the bandits,express A,Igloo,True Blue,three village.Its not going to go well.
The Turtles will be one of the better B teams and that is great.Im not knocking the players they played well and coaching was good.
I’m just saying some of the turtles dads were talking a lot of smack and today was some humble for them.
I just don’t know why these dads can’t be happy or proud of their kids and team unless they are classified as “A” teams.
The B teams on Long Island this year for2023 are stacked with talent and that makes for great lax for all the teams.
Good luck to all and for the love of god enjoy your boy and watching him play.the A or B thing doesn’t mean crap except to the crazy dads.As long as they have fun and learn as they go they are on the right team.Peace!!

See and believe what you want. The first game was sloppy all around for both teams. The rest of the games they took care of business. At some point, in the near future, the hopes is that this talent pool can and will "run"/compete with those self appointed "A" teams.


I'm not a Turtle parent, their team looked good once they began to click, especially for a newly formed team. My son plays on those one of those self "appointed A" teams went to watch his friend play, and came home talking about joining the Turtles next year.

A few of the Turtles parents deserve every bit of the criticism. Maybe tell them to fall in line.
I agree a few of those turtles parents are way out there.
A few of them has had their kid on a different team each year for five years now.Next year will be no different,a bunch of grass is greener type.
I kinda feel bad for their coach.He has no idea what he’s in for.These dads are crazy on the sidelines!!
That team is the poster boy for crazy parents.
90% nut jobs!!!

AND......you are basing this statement on what????
1 tournament?....Pot calling Kettle Black!
No,I know many of those dads and they are toxic.
They start fights with other parents,just no class.
Stating facts not opinions.
Their are a few dads on the turtles team that are absolute gentlemen.Im sure at this point they are wondering what they got them and their sons into.

True. There is a jealous hater out there on the team the boys left. The boys are so happy to get rid of the politics on the team they left. Bad previous coaches and clicky Dad's.

You're blaming bad coaches and clicky Igloo parents for your son's lack of playing time? I think you need to become a little more realistic. Your son played in the fall until the bill was paid. Then the coaches played the best kids at every position. It's pretty tough to jump to one of the best team and expect too many minutes. Be happy where he is. Playing time is more important at this stage than being on a top 10 team.

Ha, the true comes out. Nobody mentioned Igloo until you did. We know who you are. Stay unhappy at Igloo and stop bashing other clubs. You're probably the one bashing the other clubs as well.
LOL...Team Manhasset lost a lot of very good players to Turtles and Express ....No need to bash other teams... Happy Holidays!!!

If that is what the coaches did what does that say about a team or coach like that. Why should that dad keep his kids there if as you say the clearly do not have the kids best interest at hand just waiting for the check to clear?
1.bandits
2.express haugen
3.turtles
4.Igloo
5.Everone else.........
Now that is someone stirring the pot!!!!!
There has to be some truth to the assertion Turtles Dad's are a bit nuts. Look how easily they get trolled on this page. Literally no one from any of your former teams care where you are now. Actually, I'll bet most of them are happy the sideline act is gone. It's the same thing every year on every competitive club, dads thinks their sons are better than they are, talk crap all season then leave. Enjoy the next stop on the merry go round.

Fall is the time to see what the new guys can do. Summer is the time to put the best kids on the field. If those parents didn’t look around and see that their boys were over their heads then they deserve lighter wallets. Every club knows that parents will pay to be on better teams. It’s not the boys’ faults. They were all nice kids and good players. This is on those insane parents. The 3-4 boys that left Igloo were brought on last year for depth. They were told this after tryouts. They were better than the 3rd line kids they replaced, but not skilled enough to bump starters. That’s reality. Maybe if they stuck around, this year would be different. But they didn’t, so for the 3rd or 4th year in a row they will go to a new club. And, next fall, they will likely be bashing the Turtle coaches and directors for not realizing their kids’ potential. Loyalty and humility are character traits that parents should be instilling in their children, not self-pity and impulsivity.

You're right. I guess that's why kids leave.

in all fairness. No one from the Turtles Stirred the Pot. Second, who cares let it go already you are the one acting like you rule the lax world. Take your ball and go home. Worry about yourself. Good luck turtles.
Lol

glad someone said it. Sounds like he needs to spend more time in therapy and less time on here. I mean wow, this is special this rant.
Wow,looks like a lot of the lax community aren’t to fond of the turtles
Wow! For a 2023 Team that’s one Tournament in there’s a lot of banter. To the poster waxing on about those kids were 2nd liners not 3rd but if they stayed maybe they’d be FIRST, mmkay. What happens to 1st? Do they GOTO Turtles then? See if you played line 1 25 mins and Line 2 15 mins except in Must win Games and YOU can actually run a practice where all Kids get great instruction as opposed to line 2 being used as mobile ORANGE CONES as Daddy’s kid and his BAE buddy and Coach’s pool guy and Owners Sisters Mister and a Vice Principals kid who is over matched but promises he’ll get Coach a School District Job TEAM the kids will stay and grow.
I’m betting plenty of 2’s, 3’s and 4’s at their positions from former teams without the Daddy / Friend / Team Surgeon / PAL Director / Local School Coach / Owner ( insert Pool / Car Dealership etc etc ) just trying to avoid politics. Hopefully it is a mostly politic free team. Happy my boy ain’t a 2023 or 2021 as those years are flamed on here.
7 kids left Igloo - that’s nearly 30% of the team..men lie - women lie #’s don’t lie...

Lmao! Two were starters and the others were better than those you had starting - hence never being able to close the deal and losing in the quarters/semi’s - nice job...cracked under pressure...but who’s keeping track?
Thanks Coach!

This isn’t PAL, pops. The best kids play as much as they can. Find a team that your son is good enough to start on and you’ll be happy. Unless, of course, the coach applies your nonsensical “every kid gets a medal” approach and then you’ll complain that your kid is better and some kid is taking his minutes.

By the way, didn’t the Turtles say in their flyer that everyone plays equal minutes? That should make you very happy.

I have one question for this they were not asked back dad. If #1 Bandits added players, #Express Added players, Shore2Shore added players where did Igloo find these awesome players to replace the ones that left. Did these players walk off the street or were they great players sitting out there on the sidelines all this time?

Now you're trolling websites? The website doesn't say that anyway, but good try.

#1: Express has an enormous roster. Near 30 players. They didn’t cut anyone. Bandits didn’t cut anyone either, they’re at 26.

#2: Mediocre players are easy to replace. I know that sounds mean, but that’s who moves from team to team at this age. They probably found them in the same places they found them last year: Empire, Legacy, Hedstrom, Igloo B, etc.,,

Good question though. I hope this answer helped.

Maybe the team got stronger by getting rid of cancerous disgruntled parents. A toxic sideline has a tremendously negative affect on a team.
Wow!!!
These are the same dads from empire green a few years ago.always causing drama.tgey all left to different teams,then causing drama on those teams and back of the cage.Now a lot of them ended up together again on the turtles causing drama on the team and back of the cage.
The poor players and parents on the turtles that are legitimately good people.I feel for you.
As does poor leadership - that team is lead by one individual who focuses in on those who share the same zip code - guess why they can never get over the hump...that team will dismantle soon enough the declining numbers are a clear indicator - I’m sure the director was sold a false bill of goods as to why...only a matter of time

I have one question for this they were not asked back dad. If #1 Bandits added players, #Express Added players, Shore2Shore added players where did Igloo find these awesome players to replace the ones that left. Did these players walk off the street or were they great players sitting out there on the sidelines all this time?


#1: Express has an enormous roster. Near 30 players. They didn’t cut anyone. Bandits didn’t cut anyone either, they’re at 26.

#2: Mediocre players are easy to replace. I know that sounds mean, but that’s who moves from team to team at this age. They probably found them in the same places they found them last year: Empire, Legacy, Hedstrom, Igloo B, etc.,,

Good question though. I hope this answer helped.



So you're saying they replaced mediocre players with other Mediocre players? If your statement is true that means
1. The coaches took kids they know they will no play just to take their parents money.
2. The team is no better than it was last year because they did not upgrade any any position
3. The team could potentially be worse off than it was last year because at least 3 players that left were starters/

So basically this team has a reputation of taking players they are not really interested in playing and has not improved but the players that are there and do not play as much will stick around because they are loyal to the team or the parents will keep them there because that teaches them a life lesson.

That is the definition of madness. Lax is one of the only things where the consumer is unhappy but they sign up for more of the same and say thank you very much.

The funny thing is that there is a common thread linking most of these angry, bitter parents. I wonder what/where it is?

See if you played line 1 25 mins and Line 2 15 mins except in Must win Games and YOU can actually run a practice where all Kids get great instruction as opposed to line 2 being used as mobile ORANGE CONES as Daddy’s kid and his BAE buddy and Coach’s pool guy and Owners Sisters Mister and a Vice Principals kid who is over matched but promises he’ll get Coach a School District Job TEAM the kids will stay and grow.
I’m betting plenty of 2’s, 3’s and 4’s at their positions from former teams without the Daddy / Friend / Team Surgeon / PAL Director / Local School Coach / Owner ( insert Pool / Car Dealership etc etc ) just trying to avoid politics. Hopefully it is a mostly politic free team. Happy my boy ain’t a 2023 or 2021 as those years are flamed on here.


This isn’t PAL, pops. The best kids play as much as they can. Find a team that your son is good enough to start on and you’ll be happy. Unless, of course, the coach applies your nonsensical “every kid gets a medal” approach and then you’ll complain that your kid is better and some kid is taking his minutes.

By the way, didn’t the Turtles say in their flyer that everyone plays equal minutes? That should make you very happy.


Now you're trolling websites? The website doesn't say that anyway, but good try.


I never said that it was stated on the website. The flyer sent out for tryouts clearly promised “equal playing time”. It was one of there bulleted points. After collecting deposits, it has been reworded to read “everyone plays”. Lure the numbers in with a promise and then pull the rug. Smooth move, Turtles.

Let me get this straight dad. By your account, the kids who left should have all been starters on what is a highly regarded A team, and somehow your so called starters are now losing to B teams. You either have a coaching issue or a reality issue, and I understand the coaching is great.

You don't have a very firm grasp of the way travel lacrosse works, do you?

1. Coaches took kids they know will not start. This is absolutely true. Igloo is an elite level team. There are very few, if ANY, players that are changing teams at this point that would take minutes away from an established starter. Every team has players that will play very limited minutes, some will not play at all in close games. That's a reality. That's why it's important to find a team that suits your son's skill level.

2. The coaches feel that the players they took are better than the players that left (or at least not son's of parents who are sideline and chemistry distractions), so in theory, the team is stronger, if only from a depth perspective.

3. The team lost no impact players. They did not lose 3 starters. That's a fabrication. It is possible that one or two of the players started a game last fall, but not in spring or summer. Since no impact/starting players left, the core of the team is as strong as ever.

How many players on Igloo (or any competitive team) realistically play quality minutes? 4 attack, 5 midfield, 4 defenders, 1 fogo and a goalie. If your son is not in one of those players, then he is a role player. Everyone else on the team is there for depth. They are expendable. They are good players, but in no way are they great. They are unquestionably getting better by practicing with elite level players (and some parents think that is worth the cost of tuition). They are probably one of the top players in their town, and that's why their parents think they deserve more than they do. That's also why many of them move from team to team each year, leaving nothing but burnt bridges and trash talk behind.

Igloo can’t get over the hump? I’m not sure I understand. What hump? The are a top 3 team on LI and probably top 5 or 6 in the nation. Whatever they are doing is not only working, but should be the model for clubs seeking growth and success to follow. Your statement is so irrational that it’s laughable.

Have fun with your ELITE team. We'll see your little Johnny at tryouts next year. I think half the team was there this year. Says something doesn't it?

There was no denial, other than the statement that 3 starters left. If my statements open myself to criticism, then feel free to elaborate. You honestly sound like this is your first season of club lacrosse. And since it’s your 3rd or 4th team in as many years, I think that it’s is far more likely that your perception of your son’s current ability may be more than slightly biased.
Hey, no skin in the game but those elite dad's are sounding like tools claiming how great they are.
It is truly sad to see that this site is nothing more than a bashing session of teams/organizations/kids and parents. Its a platform to see Who can beat their chest the hardest and articulate fallacies the best. There is NO useful lacrosse information being given what so ever. Just an " around the water cooler fest". What ever team/organization one is associated with so be it for what ever reason. Yes, bottom line, organizations are looking out for the all mighty $. One chooses to join such at their own volition. However, the focus and care should be on the kids who are looking to play competitive ball; at what ever level they are at, learn and grow with the game and make friends and connections along the way. Those responding on this site seems to want to drive people away from the game rather than embrace it......Pathetic
Well said!

I don’t know gents, my kids team played them a bunch. Igloo is a dominant team. Right up there with Bandits and Express. Not really sure that’s questionable. I know we all hate the dominant teams lol! The part about not many players switching teams that could crack their starting lineup is balls on accurate. Unless the kid was from upstate or out of state.
Is it a coincidence that most of the Igloo players that start and play the most are all from the same zip code?
I don't know what team your son is on, but Igloo is NOT in the same league as the Bandits or Express....and believe me, plenty of Long Island players could crack that lineup. They would just have to move to Manhasset first!

They are very good but Top 5-6 is a stretch... Top 15 in the nation is more realistic. And anyone in the top 15 can play, compete, and beat any of the others on any given day.

2023: Ranking (note hard to rank due to so many players playing multiple teams)

1. ACS (Holdbacks)
2. DC Dogs (holdbacks)
3. True National (holdbacks)
4. 91 (WSYL)
5. Express (WSYL)
6. Hawks - ACS players (still holdbacks)
7. Duke National (holdbacks from holdback teams can only play when other holdbacks are available)
8. BL (less holdbacks)
9. Freedom (more holdbacks)
10. Crabs (without ACS players)
11. Looney's
12. laxachusetts
13. Igloo
14. FCA
15. NL
15. Shore to Shore
15. Primetime
15. HHH
15. BBL
15. WCS
15. TX Mustangs

I would say Igloo is about 13 and that is a fair ranking for this team. Note that the rankings do not account for age/grade players. If age based the rankings would be 100% different. USL should take note.

I'd say your rankings are pretty fair and somewhat accurate. Why you added HHH and BBL is a bit confusing? and I've never even heard of WCS? I'd add Mesa before any of those 3. I'd also say that your information on the PA teams having holdbacks is inaccurate, most kids in PA are public school kids unlike MD.
Not sure how you ranks all-star teams. If they can't be in the same field as other teams ranked they don't exist.
Because these are the teams that Express and 91 face on a regular basis.

Definitely some issues with this list, I agree that BBL probably doesn't belong, BL is definitely too high and I would bet that a lot of LI folks have some very strong feelings on Shore to Shore being included.

Which tournaments and since when? Not debating the accuracy of your statement, but that has never been the case as long as the check clears.
"91 LI at 4 lololol I hate LI but even i find humor in this Other factor in all this is that MOST major tournaments are NOT allowing national teams"

Would 91 beat ACS, DCD, or True N? I think the ranking is accurate. It is a ranking and could only be proven on the field but in Vegas I would take the others. However I would never even think of suggesting of wagering on youth sports....unless someone creates a website for it....
Have to disagree about the national teams, any organizer would love to have these teams. Naptown, Millon championship, NLF event would easily take any of these teams. It is up to the clubs that do not want the players to play with another club. If the other 91 teams (MD, NC, TX) had better players the bandits would take them.

They are very good but Top 5-6 is a stretch... Top 15 in the nation is more realistic. And anyone in the top 15 can play, compete, and beat any of the others on any given day.

2023: Ranking (note hard to rank due to so many players playing multiple teams)

1. ACS (Holdbacks)
2. DC Dogs (holdbacks)
3. True National (holdbacks)
4. 91 (WSYL)
5. Express (WSYL)
6. Hawks - ACS players (still holdbacks)
7. Duke National (holdbacks from holdback teams can only play when other holdbacks are available)
8. BL (less holdbacks)
9. Freedom (more holdbacks)
10. Crabs (without ACS players)
11. Looney's
12. laxachusetts
13. Igloo
14. FCA
15. NL
15. Shore to Shore
15. Primetime
15. HHH
15. BBL
15. WCS
15. TX Mustangs

I would say Igloo is about 13 and that is a fair ranking for this team. Note that the rankings do not account for age/grade players. If age based the rankings would be 100% different. USL should take note.


but Igloo is an ELITE team. Doesn't that count?
Yup and it bothers you alot doesnt it...
accurate or not, official or anonymous rankings mean absolutely NOTHING. Any club can take a few older kids to make a team stronger , the best clubs are focused on developing the players they have.
Were any of the players that left the team from the same zip code as the coach ?
Sorry little late to the party - 8 kids left Igloo counting the 22’ kid that played down in the WSYL, 33% of the roster made a mass exodus or what some would call an escape..funny thing is the top offensive player can’t even crack the starting lineup as he’s still stuck behind the “elite” starters, he too should have made his escape to Express when he had the chance, as many others have

Would 91 beat ACS, DCD, or True N? I think the ranking is accurate. It is a ranking and could only be proven on the field but in Vegas I would take the others. However I would never even think of suggesting of wagering on youth sports....unless someone creates a website for it....
Have to disagree about the national teams, any organizer would love to have these teams. Naptown, Millon championship, NLF event would easily take any of these teams. It is up to the clubs that do not want the players to play with another club. If the other 91 teams (MD, NC, TX) had better players the bandits would take them.

Directors have been notified Naptown, NLF MILLON. No National teams which is good what a joke "we can't develop kids so let's make a national team. ". Imagine if LI formed one

LI has a similar type of strategy. J calls the parents of a child on another club and has the child leave their current club. Sleezey.

Total fake news! You will see the same thing at these tournaments. Pay your fee and send any players you choose. They could be in the MLL and no one will care. I have had kids in club lacrosse for many years. NEVER not once did any official ever check a roster or verify anything. Yes there is a online waiver just to prevent a parent from suing the tournament organizer beyond that has anyone who reads this ever seen anything that would prevent any team format. LI should create a new team and enter a tournament. Ego's of club owners is the only thing preventing this.

HA HA . .. Certainly not WP. you def do not have the best kids of 2024 on that team. once again the WP dad wants everyone to talk about them. two kids I know of are very much talented- ones on Express and the other is on Legacy.

I guess we will all see this year if this is just going to be daddy ball and a summer extension of "Manasset PAL" or if the coaches will coach an elite team of players.

I would think that most of the players and parents, especially the new ones for this club and on any of other elite teams, would expect the team/program at this level to be coached, run and managed based on skill and players ability and not based on zip code and/or relationships.

If that's not the case, they should request a refund. I don't think anyone would go into that situation knowing or after being told they aren't going to get qualtiy playing time, not b.c of their skill and ability, but b.c they don't live in the correct town or the dad isn't a coach, after all, that is what PAL was for. And that not only is a reflection on the team and coaches, but for the program aps well, b.c without a dought, they know what is going on.

Remember they are all still kids and whether you are a coach, a parent or both, you are still shaping these athletes to be adults in the decisions that you make and the things that you do and say have lasting effects. Kids aren't notIntelligent. Think of it, if you were in their shoes, how would it make you feel in a game, atourney or at a practice. I won't even get started on the car rides home after.

There are far fewer holdbacks on ACS than you FLIDs know. Their best offensive players are not even close to holdback age. They have very late 2004 or 2005 birthdays. They are clearly #1.
Crabs should be at 2 - Did you see what we did to the Hawks a few weeks ago???
Hawks at 3 or 4 - they have beaten Express and the Dogs every time they play.
91 is very good. A solid 3-4.
Dogs and Express a toss up.
What the heck are you people even talking about at this point? Someone should call Child Services, maybe the Better Business Bureau. Its club lacrosse, if you want to win, you'll need to play the best players at some point. If you don't like your playing time, work harder!, or move to a club you can play more.

This has to be the ACS coach. Bragging about an all-star team beating straight up travel teams.... PLEASE!!! BTW for everyone else, take a gander at Maryland 2023 site. Its laughable; parents defending the fact that their 15 year olds are able to play with and beat 12/13 year olds. Flex your muuscles all you want, but the teams that won the WSYL up to this point have all been from Long Island.Criticize the WSYL, but the playing field is even with all players being 13U. Even Hopkins guy Quint K threw some Shade at MD when he said "Maryland has to get with the program and stop with the holdbacks."

My son was playing in a game against a well known team with a player that may or may not have been older but was the tallest, fastest, and had a better beard then me despite the fact I had not shaven that moring. After he scored one of the players on his team asked another player on his team, "hey what was that kids name again?" They congratulated "Bob" the new guy. Another player asked, "where is he from?" This is truth. There is not a method or even an effort on the part of tournament organizers to change this. There is no check in, roster verification, rule or anything. That would cost extra for a tournament. Teams should add a guest HS varsity player. It is "in the rules."
I was told at a tournament recently that n1nety o ne, specifically the BANDITS, have player with fake birth certificates. Granted its a rumor, but I think it may be true. Thoughts??????

Why would he need a fake birth certificate?? Not a true rumor. There is not a process to check this. If he is 16 an on the roster but identifies as an 8th grader he is within the rules.
Dont believe it about the Bandits...They dont need older players....but are you ok with a 16 year iplaying in a tournament against a 13 year old...Diesnt benefit either player

Looking at this you might as well take freedom out of top 15 lost there top 2 players from upstate New York and they now play for Sweetlax have no connections with dukes national anymore. They are not nearly the same team. Crabs should move up and looneys should move down a bit since they lost their big lefty to Crabs. True Illinois should move up even though if they say true Illinois they always being in ringers. Overall pretty accurate though.

The most laughable of all is how heated everyone is about some random list of rankings that is purely someone’s opinion. You take the bait every time. National Team or no National Team, if your kid is good they will get noticed.

14. FCA
15. NL
15. Shore to Shore
15. Primetime
15. HHH
15. BBL
15. WCS
15. TX Mustangs

I would say Igloo is about 13 and that is a fair ranking for this team. Note that the rankings do not account for age/grade players. If age based the rankings would be 100% different. USL should take note.



There are far fewer holdbacks on ACS than you FLIDs know. Their best offensive players are not even close to holdback age. They have very late 2004 or 2005 birthdays. They are clearly #1.
Crabs should be at 2 - Did you see what we did to the Hawks a few weeks ago???
Hawks at 3 or 4 - they have beaten Express and the Dogs every time they play.
91 is very good. A solid 3-4.
Dogs and Express a toss up.



Looking at this you might as well take freedom out of top 15 lost there top 2 players from upstate New York and they now play for Sweetlax have no connections with dukes national anymore. They are not nearly the same team. Crabs should move up and looneys should move down a bit since they lost their big lefty to Crabs. True Illinois should move up even though if they say true Illinois they always being in ringers. Overall pretty accurate though.[/quote]

That's quite an exaggeration. Freedom had a great fall went 9-1 and their only loss was 4-2 to the BL "Academy/All-star/National team". If you want to drop them below the Crabs "new" reclassed team fine but I wouldn't get too carried away over fall ball.

WOW, that's a huge departure.


#’s 16-22 on the depth chart. Most weren’t asked back. The team is stronger after replacing them.



I have one question for this they were not asked back dad. If #1 Bandits added players, #Express Added players, Shore2Shore added players where did Igloo find these awesome players to replace the ones that left. Did these players walk off the street or were they great players sitting out there on the sidelines all this time?



So then why can't Igloo add players?
Here’s something different,let’s try to talk about what this page was designed for.talking about constructive topics such as clinics,camps,rule changes.
Hoco Elite Rankings.
DC Dogs(Picked up some players)
Crabs(Saw them at Battle on the Bay. Really good)
Hawks(Got hammered by Crabs at Battle of the Bay.)
Looneys Orange
FCA(FCA and Looneys spots could switch around)
DC Express(Saw them at Terp Classic. Not very good.)
91 MD. Teams a joke shouldn't even be in elite. Maybe Million helps though? LMAO

I'm still laughing at this:

"8. BL (less holdbacks)
9. Freedom (more holdbacks)"

It's on the internet so it MUST be true!!

This has to be the ACS coach. Bragging about an all-star team beating straight up travel teams.... PLEASE!!! BTW for everyone else, take a gander at Maryland 2023 site. Its laughable; parents defending the fact that their 15 year olds are able to play with and beat 12/13 year olds. Flex your muuscles all you want, but the teams that won the WSYL up to this point have all been from Long Island.Criticize the WSYL, but the playing field is even with all players being 13U. Even Hopkins guy Quint K threw some Shade at MD when he said "Maryland has to get with the program and stop with the holdbacks."


The commentary on ESPN during last years NLF 2023 championship was laughable when they were trying to sort out the rosters

How the heck does someone come up with this meaningless crap, let alone have the time to sit compose the above regarding 13 year old lacrosse.

That and the fact that there was a team called Big5 at WSYL because these teams could not field age eligible teams also makes it true.

Or maybe parents didn't buy into spending $5000 to go to Denver to play against teams they can play locally?

Let's be clear....Big5 was mostly kids from Team 11, Mesa and Rising Sons. It was an "all star" type team because none of those teams could be competitive at WSYL with their normal, age restricted teams.

The number of overage kids on BL has been discussed to death on the Philly forum. Saying they have fewer holdbacks is hilarious.

There was 1 BL kid and 1 Freedom kid on Big 5. BL has no private school reclasses just summer birthdays like everyone or if the other teams don't have summer birthdays why would they have needed Big 5.

Because:
1) Not every team wants to go to WSYL. Some aren't interested in spending the money. I know, hard to believe.
2) An all star team is going to be way more competitive than a regular club team

Plus more BL and Freedom kids might have considered it, if the guy running it had not screwed most of them over in the past between Lax Evo, Dukes and numerous other business ventures...

It's amazing how all the MD teams shot up the "rankings" the year before HS. Maybe its since 3/4 of them played 2022 last year, but hey if that's the way you can field competitive teams go for it...the DC Dogs had kids driving home from a few events this fall

Don't worry about Freedom they will fly in other guest players to make sure they can compete...
I would like to say to everyone that post all this crazy madness on This site please go look yourself in the mirror and say to yourself I’m I really posting this stuff. I sound like a completely nut job , do I have any thing positive to do with my borning life then think of lacrosse thru my child and go on with your day . LOSERS 👎

Says the guy bothered by posts on an 8th grade site. I enjoyed the rankings. Much of this is funny and interesting. Better than the stunads on the sidelines.
It’s not funny u all losers have nothing but drama. Get a life losers. Nothing positive about it , rankings who gives a flying F . All said and done it’s a dead end sport with12.6 scholarships per team, lucky if u get any money with the 50 man roster. Enjoy it and stop with the B.s bashing club teams , kids and parents . Some of u lost parents couldn’t run a mile in 8 mins . So STFU . out

Fell better?

If not, try a warm line.
USL is a disaster.
It's cold at the north pole inside the igloos and I'm feeling true blue, but it's 91 degrees down south from shore to shore. I'm heading there on the express train to watch the turtles go into the warm water. I heard a lot of rebels are up in Daytona and recon rangers at fort lauderdale. Icon see the empire from miles and miles away while the outlaws loot the hurricane damaged towns. That's it for my poem. Stay tuned for more clues ahead. I'll be coming to a town near you.

best thing that I have ever read on this site....probably the most accurate also!!!!
Jingle Bells, Holdbacks smell, 30 kids on a team laid an egg. The Express mobile lost it's wheel and Chan got away. Hey
Everyone complains that Express, and some others, have inflated rosters. Why wouldn't they? If you were selling some world famous hot dogs for $1 a piece and I offered you $2 for one because I wanted to tell people that I got one on your world famous hot dogs, would you take it? Of course you would. It's free money. These parents are making it too easy for clubs. Stop giving them your money if you're unhappy with the product.

Parents will continue to shell out insane amounts of money for a dead end sport. Parents, are hooked on chasing status. Even though, not all, but the majority of them don't even have 2 nickles to rub together, everything is paid for by credit card. Home is mortgaged to hilt, with couple of leased cars in the driveway, especially the 80K white Chevy Suburban for the Mom. Which results in many lacrosse parents throwing good money at bad money.
Kk
Calling lacrosse a dead end sport simply because it doesn't lead to many professional opportunities is ridiculous, sports are for the development of character. What percentage of basketball players go on to play professionally? Exactly.
No

It is a dead end sport for the price you pay now a days , in college the student body doesn’t even watch the games. Stop believing yourself development of character. I know JR’s and Sr’s now in Div 1,2 colleges know there parents , they can’t belive when I tell them the cost of these clubs teams and how many teams are out there. The jr and Sr now never experience what we are dealing with.

Have you even been watching what has been going on with lacrosse. They just got recognized lacrosse for the Olympics, there is a new Professional lacrosse league starting up. All good things for the sport. So you may want to rethink what you are saying. They are really making a push for the sport.

Some select group of today's 8th graders will benefit themselves/their families from the "investment" in one or more ways:

- Get into a better high school and/or college and thus, possibly, improve their future earnings potential
- Get money from said college (note that pretty much no kids get full rides for lax)
- Eventually play professionally (and make almost no money unless you are one of a handful of superstar players)

Each of those outcomes is progressively less likely. The monetary value of those possible outcomes is, on average, nowhere close to the amount of money parents spend on club membership, clinics, camps, equipment and travel. Lacrosse, like every youth sport, is a money lost for parents. It is probably worse than most other sports.

If your kid enjoys the game, and you enjoy watching them compete, than pursue it. If you think that you are making an "investment", you should probably just buy a lottery ticket instead - better return. smile

So true. Listening to some parents talk about their son moving on, playing college lacrosse, blah, blah, blah! On top of that, when ask, what the kid will major in, I receive the same boiler plate answer; Finance... Personally, standing around during practice, tournaments, etc talking about 13 year old kids the majority of the day/weekend is a total waste of time and money. If my kid didn't enjoy playing lacrosse along with other sports, it would be fine with me. As a union crane operator, what the heck do I know. Recognized lacrosse for the Olympics? Who gives a dam!

You’re way off. Getting into a better college and improve your earnings potential is the best ROI from all this lax money. Hard to put a number on it but the likely differences in post college earnings between Maryland and any Ivy is massive. Changes your life trajectory.

Not really. You can go to Maryland and become a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and you can go to Harvard and get stuck in middle management. Sure, college helps and it opens doors but some of the most successful guys I know went to pretty unimpressive schools. Lot of variables go into the success equation, college is just one.

This guy gets it. If your kid is not in the top 1% you should be sending your kid to a D3 NESCAC if he is smart instead of a D1 outside the top 10 where you have zero chance of winning the national championship - maybe 10% outside the top 10 even have a chance of making the NCAA tournament one time in their 4 years of college - once! It is about academics - (unless you are a union person then this doesn't really apply) and improving your chances to succeed.

Plus the top D3 would beat anyone outside the top 20 in D1 anyway

Getting into an Ivy League school (AND PAYING FOR IT - no Athletic scholarships) is probably not the best ROI for a kid who might end up struggling academically there. A close family member had that situation. He would have been much better off in life going to Maryland over his Ivy.

You’re way off. Getting into a better college and improve your earnings potential is the best ROI from all this lax money. Hard to put a number on it but the likely differences in post college earnings between Maryland and any Ivy is massive. Changes your life trajectory.


Not really. You can go to Maryland and become a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and you can go to Harvard and get stuck in middle management. Sure, college helps and it opens doors but some of the most successful guys I know went to pretty unimpressive schools. Lot of variables go into the success equation, college is just one.[/quote]

Harvard, Yale, UPenn, Princeton, etc have amazing alumni connections. I know first hand how great it is to get those connections. Becoming a manager at Burger King is not what I want from Maryland with my son.

Have you even been watching what has been going on with lacrosse. They just got recognized lacrosse for the Olympics, there is a new Professional lacrosse league starting up. All good things for the sport. So you may want to rethink what you are saying. They are really making a push for the sport.



Some select group of today's 8th graders will benefit themselves/their families from the "investment" in one or more ways:

- Get into a better high school and/or college and thus, possibly, improve their future earnings potential
- Get money from said college (note that pretty much no kids get full rides for lax)
- Eventually play professionally (and make almost no money unless you are one of a handful of superstar players)

Each of those outcomes is progressively less likely. The monetary value of those possible outcomes is, on average, nowhere close to the amount of money parents spend on club membership, clinics, camps, equipment and travel. Lacrosse, like every youth sport, is a money lost for parents. It is probably worse than most other sports.

If your kid enjoys the game, and you enjoy watching them compete, than pursue it. If you think that you are making an "investment", you should probably just buy a lottery ticket instead - better return. smile


So true. Listening to some parents talk about their son moving on, playing college lacrosse, blah, blah, blah! On top of that, when ask, what the kid will major in, I receive the same boiler plate answer; Finance... Personally, standing around during practice, tournaments, etc talking about 13 year old kids the majority of the day/weekend is a total waste of time and money. If my kid didn't enjoy playing lacrosse along with other sports, it would be fine with me. As a union crane operator, what the heck do I know. Recognized lacrosse for the Olympics? Who gives a dam!

Come on. You think the kid with a Maryland degree has the same opportunities as an IVY grad?

Getting into an Ivy League school (AND PAYING FOR IT - no Athletic scholarships) is probably not the best ROI for a kid who might end up struggling academically there. A close family member had that situation. He would have been much better off in life going to Maryland over his Ivy.

This guy gets it. If your kid is not in the top 1% you should be sending your kid to a D3 NESCAC if he is smart instead of a D1 outside the top 10 where you have zero chance of winning the national championship - maybe 10% outside the top 10 even have a chance of making the NCAA tournament one time in their 4 years of college - once! It is about academics - (unless you are a union person then this doesn't really apply) and improving your chances to succeed.

Plus the top D3 would beat anyone outside the top 20 in D1 anyway[/quote]

I would have to agree, one of my son's set his sites on D3 Lacrosse a few years back, specifically in the NESCAC Conference. He felt strongly that he wanted to play high level D3 Lacrosse, so that his entire college experience would not be just about Lacrosse, and attend the best possible academic school he could, to prepare him for life after college. Both of these are both present in the NESCAC schools, which is where he is headed in September 2019. If your son wants to head in this direction, it really is the best balance of quality Lacrosse, and High Quality Education, but prepare yourself, because D3 has no athletic scholarships, and most of the NESCAC schools have no merit aide, only need-based aide. So if your like most of us that have two incomes coming into the household, forget about need based aide. If somehow you have to put together the $70,000 plus it takes to go to one of these schools, either through savings or loans, your son better be a stud in the classroom, not just the lacrosse field. If he wants to play at last years D3 Champion, Wesleyan, or Tufts, Bates, Amherst, and the like, he better be a pretty darn lacrosse player also, because on any given day, these schools, as a previous poster indicated, can run through most of the D1 teams after the top 15 or so. Lacrosse is a great Networking Sport, and should be thought of as that, a way to get into a better school, then you might not get into otherwise. At the end of the day, you also want your son to go somewhere, where he will get an opportunity to play not stare at the back of someone else's helmet for four years, just so they can say "they got recruited by Maryland etc.", and the day after graduation, you want them to have a sheepskin, that will get them noticed in the workplace. One Man's Opinion...
i find it kind of odd for so many intelligent men to come on this site to lecture all of us deplorables about how we spend our $$$ or what college our sons should attend... just sayin

Thanks for your input......but you are wrong. They don't play at the same level as most D1 schools. But if you and son are happy that's what counts.

Keep telling yourself that it is all worth it if my son goes D1. You should go find the tape of Amherst vs. Yale from 2014 - there is a reason they don't scrimmage any more...
"Lacrosse is a great Networking Sport, and should be thought of as that,"
That is hilarious! I played and I am still looking for the secret data base of lacrosse networking. If you are looking for a job post college in lacrosse maybe there is a network but 70K a year in tuition for a 5K a year assistant coaching job in lacrosse? Good luck with that. I know Paul Rabil spoke of this lacrosse network in finance but that was all for show. With that, I am not saying it is not a great way to enhance the college experience and these are some good schools. I also agree that they play very competitive lacrosse and some of these players have and will play pro lacrosse. However there is not a network or lacrosse players that find each other jobs. If your son wants to establish professional networks, fraternities (while they still exist) and business clubs, associations, study abroad, and academic networks are what matters. Lacrosse is not a path to business success outside of lacrosse. I hope this helps and why is this a issue in an 8th grade chat group??

Ok you are going to drag me into this. Now... you mention 1 game from 2014 as your evidence. So to start.... I agree there are a number of very good players/teams in D3 but the D3 teams do not have the depth most D1 teams have. But since You are on a NESCAC kick lets compare.......lets say keeping to schools in the same area...They would lose most games to Patriot league. The NESCAC would lose to Army, Navy, Boston, Lehigh, Loyola, Bucknell and Colgate but would play close with Lafayette and Holy Cross. Lets extend out to the Ivies.......You would lose to the Ivy teams except for Dartmouth. Now....if you want to bring up some lower level D1 teams be my guest. Soooo....again not to throw shade at D3, and again to express admiration to any collegiate student athlete in any sport......you are wrong about the level of competition. Have a Merry Christmas

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a fact, although I'm not in finance my cousin is and he says every year a new crop of interns and new hires are former Lax players. He always jokes and says playing Lax is a great for your resume in the finance world. I'm not saying this applies in all cases but Alumni take care of there own.
Guys can we get back to 2023 lacrosse, now after the fall season what are the thoughts heading into the upcoming season? Top dawgs remain the same, what do we have after those teams?

Rebels do a lot of training. 2-3x per week. Team practice plus the winter clinics.

Turtles coaches don't run winter practices. That was not part of the agreement. Some dad is running practice with them.

Attending college and playing lacrosse for D1 or D3 demonstrates character and commitment. While getting a college degree doesn't guarantee success as a professional it does improve the chances. Playing lacrosse demonstrates to a prospective employer you are willing to work hard and sacrifice in order to be successful. Don't under-estimate the power of the lacrosse community. So much more powerful than just a degree from a school or even belonging to a fraternity where you only really hang out with the kids you went to school with. Lacrosse players, whether past or present, have a mutual respect for one another.

Well they sure are paying a lot of attention to their teams by working with them a lot over the winter. I'm sure they will be a very strong contender come Spring.

Dead end sport?? You obviously have never played the game. People play this sport for the love of the game. For most people that have both played and are playing now, its one of the very few true passions in life. As a player, you are a memember of a small, but very loyal fraternity, for life. That’s a “dead end” to you?? You think that 💰💰💰 are the only measure of value In life? It’s prob the worst measure of value in life.

So, I ask you; In the grand scheme of things, other than "it was a great experience" did it really matter? In my opinion, great experience, but couldn't wait to get back home on last day.

I’ll answer that with a question. Did your sons team make the championship game?


No, and you're missing my point. Even if his team did make it to the finals, I would feel the same way. As I said, it was a great experience for our family. Would preferred to be out on the boat that holiday week. To each is own...
Does anyone know how the 91 Commack facilities are? I was thinking of sending my son to some of the clinics there.

Due yourself a favor, buy a bucket of balls, grab you son, go to your local H.S. field to practice. Afterwards, go grab a bite to eat.

Not everyone can teach their kids how to play.. The wall and cage are a must, but game theory is needed too.

does anyone know what is happening for the 2023 express teams?

A team bringing in a lot of kids and will win exactly same amount of games as last year.
B team had good kids but they all left and coaching abismal.
C team gone


Haugen is A team. Is Hedstrom still B and Karwoski still C team? Saw them practice, both teams looks good.

Well, if your local H.S. is without a wall and cage, I guess you need to bring your son to Dynamic Sport. Especially for the theory aspect of the game. Be careful of the steel beams situated within the field area. I think it was used as factory or warehouse some time ago. Good luck!

I'd rather have an indoor practice for my son in the winter. Is the 91 clinic any good?

I love the indoor clinics for 91. They have the boys moving non-stop for a solid hour. Super high rep drills and the kids come out sweating and happy. It's my first year with the club, but I think it's great and my son enjoys it. To the guy that said to grab a bucket of balls and go to the HS field, you are off base. My kid loves being warm, for starters, but he also likes spending the time with his new friends and teammates. Plus, there's no ball chasing or down time like there would be at the field with just me. And afterwards, we go get a bite to eat! Lol!

Sounds like an expensive play date. Chasing balls is a motivation to shoot and score, not to miss. Then there would be no ball chasing.
Aside from the poles that shorten the field, and the outdated soundtrack - there is no way your son can spend 60 minutes there and not improve. I doubt there’s a better, more engaged training staff anywhere.

I find it funny that a parent asks a question to help him make an informed decision about helping his son and when people who have been there answer honestly and positively (because the training is excellent and intense) they are combatted by other bitter parents who have absolutely zero experience with the subject. Let me think... working with bitter dad in a cold field chasing balls (and not learning the aforementioned life lessons, that’s dumb) or spending time with his teammates, working on numerous drills and being instructed by legit lacrosse professionals?? I’m going with the latter being the more positive experience. And as far as it being a money grab, it’s included in tuition.

To answer the question for the original parent; the training is outstanding. If you’re looking for a ton of touches and nonstop training, it’s well worth your time.

My son is not on 91, but I saw that there is a weekly shooting clinic for an annual fee. Is this the same time slot that the 91 team practices at? If not, are there enough touches for 1hour? I am not looking for a crowded clinic. Thanks for your help.

That is a different practice time.. If it is anything like the training, it should be tons of touches and top notch..

What day is the clinic and what age groups? The only clinic I see on the DLT website is the players club. It sounded promising, but when I checked it out, it was about 4-5 kids in 3rd/4th grade. Please let me know as I am interested.

First off every goalie was lights out and had to be a little crazy from all the one on one shots.
Secondly NOTB and the Warriors seemed to have more knowledge about the game and its rules than everyone else. Especially the shot clock and how to use it. NOTB was just kids that signed up for the NOTB winter box training. I think this tournament was just part of that training and they wanted to scrimmage other teams. Warriors just didn’t seem to have the size to compete against the Island Box team (Igloo A) and NOTB kids being a mixed group was at a disadvantage. However both of those teams had a decent showing for sure. Island Box lost to Express in the ship. That game got chippy right away. Every game O saw was exciting and the boys seemed to be having fun. It was posted on tourney machine.

It was a 22/23 combo team. They were big, physical and played with good skill; however, box is a different game than field and they were not too familiar with the nuances of the indoor game.

I saw the game. They weren't that good. No obsession needed. You sound angry that they got destroyed. It's not my kids fault his team was one of them that had a spanking on yours.

No anger here, just a headache after reading that response. Is that even English? Maybe Jr. should spend less time on Haugen’s bench and more time working on grammar: he’ll need it for his Nassau Community application.
Since the World Series is done... No one cares about this age group until recruiting starts.. all quiet on the 8th grade front...

That's how it goes. A lot of good talent went to other teams to get more playing time, or couldn't stand the coaches or parents. The boys will be playing more with their town teams and working hard for varsity in the future.

Nope, we'll be fine without praise. Coaches are happy. They don't need baggage. We'll even win the county championship without them.

Heard Wolfpack destroyed everyone at the North Qualifier this year. Not one competitive game. Hearing they are better than Crush at this age. My sons 23 team played them earlier this year. Very impressive. Looks like another WSYL championship for 91 this year.

who cares pack daddy. We've already been there done that. Go back to your age group.
Not sure why the 2023 club teams have the biggest drop off after last year compared to all other grade levels.

I firmly believe that the entire WSYL is constructed around and for Team 91 to showcase their teams. I'd be surprised if they pay the registration fees and it's not just baked into the costs that the other teams all pay.

I’m guessing you don’t remember Crush at this age. Wolfpack still loses games. They consistently lose to Md teams. Crush didn’t lose to anyone, literally. Despite the holdback/double holdbacks, Crush rolled. Wolfpack is not Crush. They’re not Bandits, either. But they are very good. They will likely win the WSYL, and then get smoked at Naptown and NLF

Despite the holdback/double holdbacks, Crush rolled. Wolfpack is not Crush. They’re not Bandits, either. But they are very good. They will likely win the WSYL, and then get smoked at Naptown and NLF

nice job BBL . Great showing today. Beating both 91 teams .


After amassing 24 goals while giving up only one goal, in two games, the 2024 Pack played the 2023 BBL A team to OT. After leading for almost the entire game, the pack came within one inch of ending it in OT. But on this day, it was not to be, as BBL’s size and strength ended up being the very marginal difference. A great showing for a team that is almost entirely pre-pubescent, vs a team that is entirely post-pubescent. Boys vs men. A difference of between one and two years in age. There is no 2023 team anywhere that wants to play this young team of very talented boys. Losing to a 2024 team most definitely does not look good on the resume. Next stop: The MD 2024 holdback cheater teams. Doubt they will be any trouble.

Everything broke down for them after the WSYL. Same thing happened to Igloo. Bandits and Express are fine.

Never heard of Team 5 and Icon. Don't know what their tuition cost is , but looks like many different clubs forming to escape the high cost of the typical club travel lacrosse.
Wow, that was ugly today at Blatant. Battle of the "B" teams in the "A" bracket. Congrats to the Warriors. Rebels do not belong in the "A" bracket. True Blue had a tough day. GC had an off day.
Pretty ugly in the B division. Why did the Long Beach team leave and not play the championship game I know the kids were joking and saying that the coach said it was too late and they had to go home to get ready for school in the morning what really went down

Express bought out a team and brought them in the Express family. That’s Karowski. I’m not sure what team they were last year, but I know that some of their players went to Hedstrom and some of Hedstroms players went to Karowski. Icon and Force have been around for a while. Team 5 is a team that was formerly SYAG and now they just bring in kids from all over. Bandits, Express Haugan, Igloo, Turtles, Warriors, and some others all play tournaments. The former Empire Green coach is coaching them.

Team 5.....Who. Nothing against the boy's. But their middle aged father dressed like a teenager, clad in Vans slip on sneakers, who calls himself a coach. This guy has been talking up a storm since the fall. Yes they went 1-1 against the warriors in a well played game in the Fall, but to talk so much trash about the Warriors up until yesterday, you got what you deserved. He even had a well known travel coach on the sidelines coaching, with the addition of many new faces (boy's) on the team; middies, attack, goalie, poles, coach.... Not to mention, his top defender was thrown out the game for getting in the ref's face. He did very well as the SYAG/PAL coaching a group of boy's from his town, but couldn't leave well enough alone. Daddy looked like a deer in the headlights yesterday. Good luck to whatever coach and travel team his son plays on... He should be embarrassed!
LB had to leave for CCD Confirmation practice. They informed the event in advance.

It's is kind of creepy to see a man, I expect over 35 to dress like he's a 15 year old trying to look like the kids he's coaching. Igloo had enough of that him and his marching band.

bro, do us all a favor and focus more on watching your kid play than what someone else on the other team is wearing please. It's odd. You seriously only comment on this one team and this one guy that you are clearly obsessed with. I remember seeing a similar comment back in the fall and then went quiet until today. Are you even a parent? or do you just follow this guy around at tournaments as the fashion police?
Looks like the wheels feel off the bus over in SYAG land.

That model has been tried many times and I’ve never seen it work. There are too many kids playing on too many different teams. Zero continuity is built because parent and player priorities are elsewhere. The coaches have passion, but they don’t have a strong background in lacrosse, and as the kids got older, their skills has surpassed the coaches knowledge. Apparently one of their defenders got in the ref’s face and started dropping f-bombs yesterday, too. That shows a lack of leadership and respect. Sometimes there is such a thing as too much lacrosse.
True Blue parents are ridiculous. I watched some of the Rebel/TB game and the parent nonsense didn’t disappoint. The Rebel helmets are terrible. They gave TB a run for their money. Very physical game. TB didn’t seem to blow out any of the competition. I am surprised Warriors didn’t beat them by more.

The B bracket games my kid played in or we saw were fairly evenly matched for the most part. BBL is a good team as is LB. they have obviously been playing together awhile. From talking to parents most of the B teams are new or have had some big changes recently. Will be interesting see if the Express teams get it together. S2S has a solid defense but no offense. Taking FO with a long pole out of the gate screams that they have issues. The Icon team was inconsistent. One second they seemed together and the next couldn’t catch and throw. Outlaws have fallen.

So true. Kids are kids, they only are there to play, but parents have underlying motives. Passion is driven by various factors. Many coaches allow their passion to be driven by their own self interest. Therefore, leadership, structure and respect suffers. As such, during the game the coaches kid was upset the father (coach) called a time out, and began yelling across the field at his dad. For that reason, you need to be very careful upon the cart you hook your wagon to. Yesterday, was truly a bad look for one particular coach, but it seems as though he dosen't learn by the mistakes from the past.

Nobody dropped f bombs at the ref. Were you even watching or just making stuff up and spreading rumors about kids??

I heard from numerous people that one of their defenders got in the refs face, complaining loudly and angrily about a call and about another player hitting him, and dropped f-bombs. I trust the people who told me.

Well, you shouldn’t. It didn’t happen. Did he get angry at the ref, yes. Did he curse at the ref? No. Just stop.

No one is blaming or spreading rumors about the kids, toxic behavior always starts at the top. People, look at yourselves, red cups filled with booze during a kids sporting tournament, and then jump in you vehicles when it's over and drive home. Come on now.

No. Sending a pole out on the faceoff to take out the opposing players that was dominating. That’s low. Allowing your players to run at a ref and scream in his face (curse or not). That’s low. These are actions that have been typical of that coach and those players for years. Their players have begun to take the personality of the coach. It’s a shame, because it’s the boys that will be hurt by their association with him and that team.

No. Sending a pole out on the faceoff to take out the opposing players that was dominating. That’s low. Allowing your players to run at a ref and scream in his face (curse or not). That’s low. These are actions that have been typical of that coach and those players for years. Their players have begun to take the personality of the coach. It’s a shame, because it’s the boys that will be hurt by their association with him and that team.
not true. Please, you can stuff your lies in a sac !! It’s clear you have a personal problem .

Yes, It is true, and time has finally caught up to him (coach). In first place, it's not like one person saying this, many have questioned his character over the years regarding the style of coaching he instilled in his team. Sunday was a bad look for HIM and HIM alone. Further, association with him? he has his steady marching band group, but they are slowly separating themselves from him. Finally, just keep in mind, he could be very disruptive if and when he becomes unhappy with his current travel team. (went to WSYL last year and still wasn't happy)

We get it you don’t like him, move on. It’s clear you have a personal vendetta against him that you should get over. The more you write the more obvious it becomes who you are. Not so anonymous anymore.

They inflated their roster last year for WSYL. They brought in some players that they had no intention of playing and their parents bought into the scam hook, line and sinker.

Same thing this year. There are a lot of kids who shouldn't be on the team, but the Daddy's keep paying the big bucks for little Johnny to ride the pine.

I think you mean they had a tryout and had to limit the roster to only 25 per the wsyl rules.

They had to add a ton of kids after WSYL.
Madlax was caught cheating in the Maryland spring league. They had a team with 5th and 6th graders and put them in a division just for 5th graders. Got called out during the playoffs and were disqualified.

So not only do they have reclassed kids on every team, they illegally play down.
is S2S back with an A team? see 2 of them in the tournament Saturday.. weird thought it fell apart after WSYL... and if not, why put an A team in a B tournament?

The group of them left last year, I guess they couldn't control the narrative. After spending a season traveling to and from practices several times a week and thousands of dollars for the WSYL considering the amount of playing time, they decided to move on. I highly doubt if they are successful controlling the narrative with their new coach. Many clubs know their act, doesn't mean they won't try.

Yes, Turtles. And when their kids don’t play enough or win enough, they will abandon that team too. They’re going to run out of teams soon!

If all else fails, that's the reason they have Team 5 to fall back on. They have the foundation to move forward on their own, in case the current situation goes south. The sneaker guy (coach) is never happy unless he's in control. That's the reason why the former Empire coach is hooked up and working with them now, leaving open the possibility another organization picking up a ready made team (Team 5) along with their coaches.

Agreed. They had no business in that tourney. Neither did 24. They may have entered thinking there would be an A division. The whole tournament was a joke. The parking was beyond ridiculous.
Go Shore! We don't need the NLF!
True Blue looked very good, and with an easy win over Igloo.

You're only as good as the competition you play against. If you want to participate in 'B' & ' C' tourneys that is fine but I'm sure the kids & parents didn't sign on for that.

95% of these bragging comments are trolls, and usually from someone on the losing side. There are also the 5% meatheads who are clueless...

Who could’ve asked for a better day? Perfect weather, nice fields with bleachers, and spending time with family and friends. Hopefully everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.

Which one are you????
NLF had some interesting results. The Warriors can’t hang with the big boys anymore. Sure, they crushed some very weak B teams (who shouldn’t have even been there). Overall they are not the power house they once were. Looking forward to Lax Fest.

Seriously. Are the Warrior parents really trying to say this weekend wasn’t a sad showing for their team? They used to pride themselves on playing in the A bracket. They played terrible teams this weekend and still didn’t come out on top. I know luck of the draw who you play. Shame on the tourney for not keeping it to top teams.

Warriors are B+ team . not Double A. only win in B bracket tourneys. they have one Middie , without him the fall hard
With tryout season quickly approaching just looking for people's opinion on the different 2023 teams out there. What I am wondering is when you go to tryouts coaches/trainers say that all they want to do is make your kids better, everyone plays etc. Unfortunately this is not true and even more unfortunate is it costs $$$ to find out the team is only out to win (which is fine) and only starters will play OR the team is mostly players from that town so if your not from that town you won't play or other political reasons that your kid won't play. Not looking to trash any teams, just looking to find out which clubs actually will work to develop EVERY player vs which clubs main goal is to win which means an emphasis on the top 10 players with everyone else's role being just a way to get their parents money. Once again, not saying there is anything wrong with a team that wants to win VS a team that never wins but everyone trains and plays, just wondering which teams actually fall into those categories.

Not looking to trash any teams, just looking to find out which clubs actually will work to develop EVERY player vs which clubs main goal is to win which means an emphasis on the top 10 players with everyone else's role being just a way to get their parents money. Once again, not saying there is anything wrong with a team that wants to win VS a team that never wins but everyone trains and plays, just wondering which teams actually fall into those categories.


Changing teams at his age is hard. The top teams aren’t changing up their rosters much. And there are plenty of kids on those teams that ride the bench. Look into some of the better B teams. Your kid may have a chance to play and develop. To your point they may not win all the time.

What they coaches/trainers confess up front before you hand over the money, could very well be totally different from what occurs during the season. Likewise, crazy parents are another factor deciding on a team, and some coaches allow those particular parents to control the team. But, if you are looking into a team and discover daddy coaches, do yourself a favor, run the other way. Good luck!

You're right. Although there are a lot of factors involved in the equation; Strength of H.S. team, is your son a good fit on his present club, the amount of money and time you are willing to spend, etc. For me, a good H.S. matched with a well balanced travel team is the path my son will take. I don't want to travel out of state 3 to 4 weekends in the summer for my kid to play lacrosse. Remember, a lot of these kids have been playing since kindergarten, and burnout can creep up within these next few years if it hasn't already. But hey, every family is different, it's not one size fits all. It doesn't mean kids on the top teams will play D1 and the kids that play on B teams will not play D1, so go figure.

Agree with all of this!
Crazy number of teams playing lax fest this weekend.

Thanks for that in depth analysis of the NLF tourney B-team dad! I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting for your next post!


You may fall out of your seat when the organization raises their prices again next year compared to what you're paying now.


Hey if big $$$ keeps troll's like you OUT! I'm all IN!


Ouch! Sounds like a nerve was hit. Pay up
Warriors are B+ team . not Double A. only win in B bracket tourneys. they have one Middie , without him the fall hard


Wow sounds like you are one disgruntled parent! Please tell what position does your kid play!
Does anyone know where I can find the schedule for NLF tourney? My son was asked to play and I wanted to see what teams are going before I commit? I couldn't find on tourney machine.
Bandits is now a national team just like CoachC’s boys. They’ve got a few 16 year olds out of Florida on bandits and a 16 year old out of Florida and Texas in CoachC. Anything for a shirt

Serious question, why does it matter?
Tryouts are fast approaching. are the majority remaining in place or are some looking for change? If you are looking for a different scenery what does one expect to find, unless an organization/coach is planning on poaching particular kids from another team.

It mattered because I wanted to see if it was worth it first. It was an honest question, I have never heard of this tournament and didn't want to waste my time

Club lacrosse is only a vehicle to keep the boys playing and sharp. It’s all about their school teams now. Anyone moving clubs at this point has missed the boat and likely has an unrealistic perspective of their child’s ability.

The same kids that have been on 4 teams in the last 4 years will probably be looking for their fifth though!
With that in mind an advice question : my son had to miss spring and summer lacrosse and a fair amount of school this year due to injury/surgery. He probably will reclass after this year. Should he stay with 2023 or play with 2024.

Why pay upwards of 3K and not receive the amount of lacrosse equal to that amount. There's an organization looking to bring aboard proven H.S. coaching/travel at less money.

He would have to reclass to a private going in as a freshman after his freshman public year. Don't do it because of an injury! What happens if he gets an injury in HS? Are you going to double reclass him?

Play him with his graduating year. That is going to be a very unpopular statement, but those are the boys he's going to be recruited with. If he is dominating, you can always move him up, but it's not necessary. NY/LI clubs are grade based and most tournaments are as well.

You always get what you pay for. Look at some of the new teams this year. One in particular promised the world, but they haven't even been practicing and haven't played in a tournament yet. It's so bad that one of the dads has to put them into tournaments under a different name!

The guy had to do what he had to do; no practices or tournaments. Needed a back-up plan. Side team worked out well.

I'm not trashing the guy. That's why I didn't mention any names. My point is that the grass is not always greener on the other side and teams are all about the $$. They paid $3000+ for that team and got nothing but shiny helmets. Most kids that move teams at this age will not be displacing anyone, but rather be picking up scrap minutes until they can possibly, but not likely, earn a starting spot. Then, when that doesn't happen, they move to another team the following year. It's a cycle that has been going on for many players for years. The parents are to blame because most of these kids are solid players that were never given a chance to develop within a system for more than a season.

I think the parents committed to that particular team with good intentions. They went through the fall, winter and holding tight. Spring came and comments began to surface, 'this isn't enough", be it lack of practices, tournaments, it wasn't enough. Fast forward, some parents leaned on the "dads team" . Additionally, Dads team provided practices and tournaments, with a proven travel coach which is getting back into the game, with a ready made team available to him. Remember, parents are the consumers, they have a say where, and how their money is spent. So what would you do?

You know the saying, the road to heck is paved with good intentions. That’s the point I’m trying to make. You don’t know what you’re getting when you switch teams. That dad team you’re referring to is a pickup team, though. The best players on it play for other teams and will never leave them to essentially play for Empire, which means they’ll always have conflicts. There’s a reason Empire fell off the face of the Earth. And even with those kids and new coach, the team got smacked around at Blatant.

Please share the team. You could save other forum members thousands of dollars as I am sure there will be plenty of people trying out in a couple months who don't know how they operate.

Turtles. Total waste of time and money. We learned our lesson.
That's funny, will be a cold day in heck when lacrosse parents help one another. Anyway, forum rules prohibit doing so.
Maybe that team just needs to come out of it’ SHELL. Lol
They left last year and are up to their usual tricks. Last year it was political, this year, it's not enough. Good luck to their team.

Funny, right? Count how many teams those Turtle kids have been on over the last 4 years. I don’t think any of them have made it to year two with any club. Now there was not enough practice/tourneys? Laughable! Weren’t they all playing 5-6 days a week with school? Time for them to recognize that the real problem is them. They are ruining their children.

Doesn't matter how much they practice and play with a school. If someone takes $3,000 and tells you they are going to train your 13 year old child to be a better lacrosse school then that's what they should be doing. They gave a nice speech at tryouts about their focus being developing the players, equal playing time etc. Surprised to hear they are taking the money and running.

How would you know who was on what team and for how long? Kids leave teams because of bad coaches.

The best thing that particular organization can do is not to cave into the "groupie" parents passive aggressive tricks, if they don't like what is offered and think the grass is greener on the other side, let them walk. One club didn't cave in last year when they started rumbling before and after WSYL. They're good solid players, but they (parents) were never told NO until last year. Daddy coach, time is catching up with you, organizations are on to your tricks.
The Warriors will beat STS for the B team championship this weekend at laxfest.

You are oddly obsessed with these kids and their parents. The only people that care about what team they play for are the suckers who are still paying 4k and watching their kid on the sidelines. You are bitter. Move on.

Funny, right? Count how many teams those Turtle kids have been on over the last 4 years. I don’t think any of them have made it to year two with any club. Now there was not enough practice/tourneys? Laughable! Weren’t they all playing 5-6 days a week with school? Time for them to recognize that the real problem is them. They are ruining their children.


Doesn't matter how much they practice and play with a school. If someone takes $3,000 and tells you they are going to train your 13 year old child to be a better lacrosse school then that's what they should be doing. They gave a nice speech at tryouts about their focus being developing the players, equal playing time etc. Surprised to hear they are taking the money and running.

The best thing that particular organization can do is not to cave into the "groupie" parents passive aggressive tricks, if they don't like what is offered and think the grass is greener on the other side, let them walk. One club didn't cave in last year when they started rumbling before and after WSYL. They're good solid players, but they (parents) were never told NO until last year. Daddy coach, time is catching up with you, organizations are on to your tricks.


worry about your own downward spiral. You have a lot more issues over there for sure.

What in the world did this guy (parents) do? Sounds like he (they) messed over a lot of people.

How would you know who was on what team and for how long? Kids leave teams because of bad coaches.


Everybody knows. The parents are all annoying and have bothered, trash talked, and destroyed sideline chemistry on all of the teams they’ve played on. And no, it’s not because of bad coaching. It’s because their kids don’t start or play as much as they want. And do you know why that is? Because the other kids on the team are better mainly because they’ve worked hard and developed with the team over several years. It takes a rare talent to move to a team and start right away. Kids should be taught to work hard and earn their minutes. Not be fed excuses of bad coaching and favoritism or nepotism.

You hit the nail on the head. That's why the "daddy crew" are unhappy and looking to leave their present team and merge with the formed Empire coach. Daddy coach will get what he wants from him.
Warriors can’t even make it to the finals of a B tourney.
^^^^ Don't have anything to say about the Warriors, but it was a huge haul $$$$$ tournament for 91, as a B tourney.

That’s cute...you must be a politician, of course they wouldn’t be on the roster so technically you are telling the truth, but perhaps there were 9th graders nonetheless
Hmm constructive thoughts here? Highly unlikely but the opinions of stunands! Unlimited!

Take your pick, plenty to chose from. Kinda hard, kids going into 9th grade.
Your full of ...it. No 9t graders on S2S. 8th graders playing up on Jv maybe for their school, LI plays grade not AGE.

Wait, didn’t they leave Empire because they didn’t think the coach was any good?? Now they are going back?? That’s comical! After all the trash talk about that guy and getting everyone to quit the team, suddenly he’s the savior! For the record, I think the Empire coach is talented. He should run as fast as he can away! And he should run backwards so it’s harder for them to stab him in the back again.

I think he (Empire coach) left the team last year. Prior to that, some of his players joined Igloo. Fast forward, the coach is now looking to coach again. I don't know about him being talented, but maybe he has a few dedicated to the limited talents he does posses, maybe his style fits those, who knows. Many parents give some of these guys tooooo much credit for what they do. And sell their kid(s) out to anyone that comes along with unattainable promises. Some may be giving this guy a little to much credit, but it all boils down to the parents ego. Just think; most likely, some of the unhappy Igloo parents that left the team last year are still paying off, to this day the debt they accrued while playing for the team (WSYL) they hated being on last year. People stop and think. Good luck

lol! I’m sure you’re joking, but in case you’re not read back on this thread. They are a disaster. No tourneys. No practice. Awful parents. Terrible parents. Cancerous parents. Nice shiny helmets.

None yet. They’re playing this weekend though. Easiest schedule in the tourney. After that is a mystery. Save your money.

You’re correct about the disgruntled part. The therapy may be next. I was sold a bill of good that was never even close to delivered. Travel lax is not cheap and my son deserved more. Compound that with the group of parents who went there own way and this has been a completely wasted season. Stay as far away as you can. This team is a joke.

Can't be anymore disastrous, awful, terrible, cancerous, than the person you see every morning when you open your eyes and rub that bald head!

I guarantee, all these people talking garbage about any particular club, are the ones running to their tryouts. Pick a team, Outlaws, Rebels, rebels, 91, Express, Turtles, Legacy, the list goes on and on and you will find parents on those teams who aren't satisfied. Entire teams become dissatisfied with the Parent Organization and go their own way. Look at the Mighty Ducks. Oh, we were treated like a red headed step child, blah, blah, blah. The point is, at the end they couldn't draw the kids in and why do you think? People will have something to say anywhere you go. I see it every year at tryouts, so many kids wearing different club helmets and we only take 2 to 3 of those kids. I bet all the people talking garbage, have no clue about what's going on within a particular club. it's only gossip. But sometimes it's very funny.

Yes in deed. The same trash talker is a cancer at his own current club and all the parents hate him. He will be at our tryouts trying to get his mighty Jr Rabil on the team by trying to scare away existing players. The only thing is he doesn't know everyone gets along.
Like someone said, the teams mentioned will only back fill with 3-4 new players max. All this talk about organizations not providing enough,
" No tourneys. No practice. Awful parents. Terrible parents. Cancerous parents. Nice shiny helmets." it's all smoke & mirrors. Maybe 3,4 families leave. Mighty Jr. Rabil and his 2-3 sidekicks maybe, but the rest are content laughing at all the BS posted. But if they don't leave, eventually all of them will fall inline. Funny, a lot of people are curious about what one particular club is doing. Know what, it's too late, you had your chance.

Why wouldn't parents bring their kids to other clubs tryouts? It would be notIntelligent to put all your eggs in 1 basket. Some reasons to shop other teams are and not limited to:

- Maybe your kid isn't good enough on current team to get playing time so why would you spend thousands to stay there and have them watch other kids play and practice? Find a team where they might get some playing time or even reps in practice for the $$$ parents are spending. Move from AA team to B or C so at least your 13 year old gets to develop. Your not going to get any better watching other kids play. You can watch pros on ESPN for free. If coaches think at 8th or 9th grade its too late to develop in lacrosse then they don't know anything about sports and those are not the coaches you want.
- Maybe you don't make your current club because new players come in better than your kid. If you don't go to other tryouts now you have no team to play on.
- Location. Maybe parents are tired of driving 45 minutes to practice and would like to find something closer.
- Promises not kept by current club. As we have seen above some clubs promise to do one thing and don't deliver. It's too expensive to hope that things will change at current club.
- Politics - If you are on a team full of coaches kids then those spots are closed. Also town associations. Many teams are full of kids from that town where coaches have a vested interested in developing them for High School. If your not from that town you are SOL even if you are good enough to play.
- Money - Move to another team and save enough money to take the family on a weekend getaway. Crazy that club lacrosse is so expensive that you can actually do that.

At the end of the day there are many reasons to look for or switch new teams and its not always because parents are jerks or crazy. And believe it or not most parents are realistic about their kids ability. Its usually because they are spending thousands of dollars and their kid is getting nothing out of it despite what was promised in tryouts. If you don't see any improvement in a 13 year old from the start of the season to the end then why stay? Your paying for a service which is to make kids better lacrosse players. Some parents like myself don't really care how many tournaments we win. I want to see my kid leaving practice and games with a smile on his face and throughout the year see my kid doing a new dodge or a better shot or better footwork on defense or some other kind of improvement.

If I don't like the food at one restaurant I decide not to go back there and spend my money elsewhere. Same thing with SOME lacrosse clubs it seems. They are serving bad food and then after a couple years consumers stop going there and they shut down. Don't blame it on the customers, its usually the food.

Very well stated.

If your kid is not getting playing time or the coaches don’t show up or cancel practice often, it’s time to look for another program, in the long run playing time and good coaching is much more important that T-shirts.

On the other hand some people are never happy, and it might not be every team that is the problem, you might be the problem
So after all the typing, where will your kid be trying out?

Funny, a lot of people are curious about what one particular club is doing. Know what, it's too late, you had your chance.


Lol! Nice attempt at reverse psychology! No one is going to that disaster.


Right back at you. See you at tryouts for our team.


I’ll stick with my current team, but thanks. We are having a much more pleasant season since our troublemakers went back east! We literally wouldn’t go there if the team was free.
Anybody know anything about the teams from outside Long Island coming to TriStar this weekend for 2023? Good, not good?

Laxachussets always have good teams. Tough hardworking kids. Usually big, not accusing holdbacks, just big and physical. But they are bringing 3 so I am assuming one of them is a true B/C team much like most of the 3rd teams in the age bracket around here.

Dukes National 2023 should be good If all their kids show up.

Come on, you should have learned years ago when he only chose 9 1 kids. It's a total scam and colleges aren't looking at these kids. It's also funny when they make you pay for all the equipment the kids don't wear.
Colsey and Bell did the same for all there Taft and Ridgefield guys.
Sons HS coach was involved in picking a highlight team and we learned the actual coaches of the team do not select the team That is a rule put in from UA I also thought the coaches hand picked their roster but apparently that' method has been taken out is a number scale from every evaluator So a coach can vote for their players but is one of 10 plus votes so it has to be a majority vote total.

Coaches will always take care of their kids and cronnies. The difference with Spallinas selections is that they are good legitimate LAX players.

Did both of the twins make it? If so then it’s total bs. One is good the other is mediocre at best. Can’t argue about the rest of his players.

No his 2022 and one 2023 made it and rightfully so.

Why wouldn't parents bring their kids to other clubs tryouts? It would be notIntelligent to put all your eggs in 1 basket. Some reasons to shop other teams are and not limited to:

- Maybe your kid isn't good enough on current team to get playing time so why would you spend thousands to stay there and have them watch other kids play and practice? Find a team where they might get some playing time or even reps in practice for the $$$ parents are spending. Move from AA team to B or C so at least your 13 year old gets to develop. Your not going to get any better watching other kids play. You can watch pros on ESPN for free. If coaches think at 8th or 9th grade its too late to develop in lacrosse then they don't know anything about sports and those are not the coaches you want.
- Maybe you don't make your current club because new players come in better than your kid. If you don't go to other tryouts now you have no team to play on.
- Location. Maybe parents are tired of driving 45 minutes to practice and would like to find something closer.
- Promises not kept by current club. As we have seen above some clubs promise to do one thing and don't deliver. It's too expensive to hope that things will change at current club.
- Politics - If you are on a team full of coaches kids then those spots are closed. Also town associations. Many teams are full of kids from that town where coaches have a vested interested in developing them for High School. If your not from that town you are SOL even if you are good enough to play.
- Money - Move to another team and save enough money to take the family on a weekend getaway. Crazy that club lacrosse is so expensive that you can actually do that.

At the end of the day there are many reasons to look for or switch new teams and its not always because parents are jerks or crazy. And believe it or not most parents are realistic about their kids ability. Its usually because they are spending thousands of dollars and their kid is getting nothing out of it despite what was promised in tryouts. If you don't see any improvement in a 13 year old from the start of the season to the end then why stay? Your paying for a service which is to make kids better lacrosse players. Some parents like myself don't really care how many tournaments we win. I want to see my kid leaving practice and games with a smile on his face and throughout the year see my kid doing a new dodge or a better shot or better footwork on defense or some other kind of improvement.

If I don't like the food at one restaurant I decide not to go back there and spend my money elsewhere. Same thing with SOME lacrosse clubs it seems. They are serving bad food and then after a couple years consumers stop going there and they shut down. Don't blame it on the customers, its usually the food.

At this point if your kid doesn’t start they are the B string. If they are B string on current team they may very well be B string on another. Time to be honest about their skill level.. Every one of these organizations are looking to win games to keep their reputation up so they can continue to bring in $$.

Pretty safe to say you never played sports growing up.

From inside lacrosse magazine-

TREND #1 - LATE BLOOMERS, FINDING THE NEXT "DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH"
Coaches focus on identifying players with a lot of potential, and then developing them once they get to college. A player's true athletic potential may not be apparent until junior or senior of high school. The best player in 8th grade is not going to be the best player in 10th grade, and he’s not going to be the best player by sophomore year of college. Every athlete will develop at a different speed. Dozens of factors such as skill development, coachability, strength and agility training (to name a few) make every player's growth trajectory different. Scores of successful college players were undersized and under-recruited during freshman and sophomore years of high school, only to blossom their junior and senior years.

Intangibles Matter
Once a player proves that he has the athleticism and skills to play at the D1 level, then the intangibles come into focus. Does the player like to compete every day? What is his work ethic like? Does he want to improve or is he complacent where he is now? It’s the intangibles that will make the difference over a player’s college career. Four years is a long time and there will be challenges every player will need to handle. Also, coaches want to know what the player is like in the huddle, in the locker room and off the field. Coaches seek out players with character and integrity, as they know that will serve their programs well in the long-term.
A note to the clASSY Legacy Tornado 2023 father (blue shirt khaki shorts) yesterday at the championship game of Tri Star LaxClash game. Your disrespectful and unkind words regarding the team your son & his team just beat were unnecessary and did not go unnoticed. Yes, your sons team was the better one. They deserved to win. But when a game finishes 13-2 you needn’t say in ear shot of the opponents parents(who just watched their sons get plowed over and are still trying to show them the good in the game), the players siblings and players that are still getting off the field, that that was the WORST team your sons team has ever played. True sportsmanship is not kicking the integrity of a team while they are down. I’m sending an email to your Coach regarding this matter. Again, I’m not complaining about the game. It was rough to watch and I give accolades To the Legacy players. They’re very talented. But so are our boys. YOU are not a nice man and I hope this teaches you to please think before you speak.

I hear you and agree. Wine gets better with age, but every season parents are becoming worst (behavior). It just doesn't make sense! There is NO way, anyone who has inner peace within him/herself will act out in a disrespectful manner in public, especially around kids.
Not a 91 parent but happy to see them beat the Illinois team that seemed to have a sprinkling of 16 year olds to come play against 13 year olds. Good job 91.

You should've said to him that if his sons team was really that good, maybe they should've played up in the AA division. The guy is a typical laxer that lives and dies on his kids accomplishments because he never succeeded at anything (except succeeding at being a lost in life)

2023 were born in 05 so they should be 13/14. So probably half are still 13 and half are 14 considering we are half way through the year and your kid actually started school on time. If your kid is in 7th grade(2024) and is 14 then you should probably forget about travel lacrosse and spend the money on tutors. If you have those crazy parents that hold their kids back in school just for lacrosse then you are in trouble. At this age real talent plays up, not down.

Plenty of teams with those types of parents, especially when they become critical of the kids on their own team.

90 1 brought in Warriors to play with their Spartan team. Guess the boom box playing before each games isn’t enough to hel them win. enough


At this point if your kid doesn’t start they are the B string. If they are B string on current team they may very well be B string on another. Time to be honest about their skill level..

Scores of successful college players were undersized and under-recruited during freshman and sophomore years of high school, only to blossom their junior and senior years.

Intangibles Matter
Once a player proves that he has the athleticism and skills to play at the D1 level, then the intangibles come into focus. Does the player like to compete every day? What is his work ethic like? Does he want to improve or is he complacent where he is now? It’s the intangibles that will make the difference over a player’s college career. Four years is a long time and there will be challenges every player will need to handle. Also, coaches want to know what the player is like in the huddle, in the locker room and off the field. Coaches seek out players with character and integrity, as they know that will serve their programs well in the long-term.

No, the answer is to spend $3000 and stay on a team that practices once a month, plays 3 tournaments with 12 kids(3 of which are coaches kids) getting playing time.

Seems like the lax parents are afraid the $20;000 they’ve spent on travel lacrosse since little Johnny was 5 is not going to be enough to keep little johnny in the starting lineup! If your that football or basketball kid who is bigger stronger and faster than my little Johnny please don’t switch to my team (even though we do have a great coach)!!!! Maybe I should hold little Johnny back 2 years.. Yes that’s the answer!!! smile
LOL re the Illinois team. That is the exact team they brought to the World Series last year who all qualified for the age restriction imposed there. All legit. Kicked LI EXPRESS butt fair and square. It was a romp. That team chooses from the entire state and there is no dilution between 6 teams like LI. The holdbacks may be yet to come as they now enter various private schools but this year there were none, including the beast middie #42. Team has gotten better every year. If you want to point the holdback finger, point it at Laxachusettes. (Long Island Dad).

No it's not the same team. There are several new players. I spoke to an Express father during the game and he said that a few players left the team after last years WSYL run. I have no idea if he was just saying that but I told him that we added a few players after the same run.

That is complete bs anyone who knows the 2023 age group knows that. TL Illinois brings in kids from all the other true teams that are on the national team but go in a tourney under True IL. You can tell by the differnt helmets and such. You will never see the same team at one tourney. And there whole team did not make the age cutoff at WSYL either. They tried to bring in hawks kids last year for Millon since the tourney was down there. The team is very good still but dont try and say there holdback free and have all IL kids.
There is a True National, That team was Illinois.

With kids from Michigan and other neighboring states. It's a great team, lots of Sept ~ Dec 2004 birthdays and the best of the best from the "areas" that have been together for 6 years.
This coming from the team that was in a Brawl the game before. Hahahaha . Stay Classy Mammas Boy
Did anyone see if the Turtles came out of their shells this past weekend????

No skin in the game, but you are fixated (seeing prior posts) on what another club team in your eyes promoted. Why would you care? Seems like your kid got cut or you are trying to make room for little Johnny to get on the team. Your club must hate you.

He is fixated, how would he know what an organization sold and what people paid their money for. Little johnny most likely got cut, and dad had to stroke someone to get his kid on his present team.

Or he is currently on the team and a disgruntled cancerous sideline parent in which case he won’t be missed next year.

The Millon tourney Hawks kids thing is 100% correct--tourney organizers had to tell them they couldn't play because they didn't meet the roster requirements that everyone else followed.

Na, it's a squirmy stalker who has no life.
TRUE has no borders they bring whoever they want, not sure if that is worse or DC Dogs that have more 16 year olds than 14 year olds.

Number 78 or 79 middie. With a gray denver eilite helmet somehow plays for True IL but they still bring in no guest players right.
Turtles should be in the B bracket this weekend at blatant and even if they were don’t think they could beat 24east who should win it

Talked to a Denver Elite Dad few weeks back and he said his kid plays for True IL as well. I could see playing True National but to play for True IL is comical...flying in for practices?

Thank you
They need to band all consumption of booze during these tournaments, some people get too out of hand.

That’s why I like early games. In and out before people get too drunk. Afternoon games can get rough.
Let’s be honest folks the blantant tourney is a joke and a B/C talent fest. The fields stink, most parents think they are watching great lax and are clueless about the game. Parents yelling at youth lax is embarrassing and to boot most of the people are overweight. I could go on but everyone reading this probably can’t focus that long.

It's funny seeing parents pull up get out their vehicles, kids in tow, pulling their wagons garbage hanging over the side. Ever notice the parents yelling out the same generic phrases; wheels, lets go white, get a touch, it's gotta be blue, etc. what the heck do some of these people think they're watching, other than kids throw around a little white rubber ball. I couldn't wait to get out of there yesterday, like ever tournament, I trip over my self running to the car. If it wasn't for for the kid, I would be no where around this type venue. Spending a hot summer afternoon around teenagers isn't what I call pleasant. But hey, many people live for this. Like someone said, the alcohol consumption at these kids tournaments by some parents has to STOP, I can only imagine what takes place when they are home. People don't realize how foolish they look, walking around or sitting, watching kids play a game with their red solo cups. I can't wait until my kid is able to drive himself to these events.
Great showing today by the Rebels.

Even better were the Turtles and True Blue parents shaking their heads in disbelief as they watched the Championship they thought they already won (just by showing up) go to the group that worked hard all wknd - not just showing up when they felt like it. True Blue coaches actually called these 13/14 yo LI boys “Trash”. News flash, check that mirror Coach Kettle and Coach Pot: your sideline antics are tired and embarrassing. Great job TB, maybe you stick 20 more kids on that sideline to watch a real team work together and beat your collection of AA-team castoffs and wannabes. The clock is ticking, how many True Blue and Turtle parents were stuck on the Northern State yesterday wondering where their superstar is going next year?

What's more laughable is when the coach and owner of Rebels starts yelling out numbers of "guest" players because he doesn't know their name. They even changed the schedule Saturday afternoon to seed themselves better. The parents screaming out vulgarity at the Refs in front of little kids. Can't make this stuff up. Classless . Too cheap to put backstops up to protect people. List keeps going on.....

Agree. Absolute disgrace. The coaches are the definition of white trash. They have a history of being classless cheaters but used to at least try to be discreet about it. Not this weekend. They pulled out all stops not to lose. Added a mystery game Saturday to bump the standing in their favor which confused me as well because Turtles should have seeded ahead of them anyway if they beat them sat head to head. The antics come from the top of the org down - owners, coaches, players and parents.
Same B.S every year. Just changed name from Outlaws to Rebels...

Well said.
First, Rebels had no guest players - they were down players. Second, enough with the anonymous and cowardly trash talk. The bottom line is the Rebels are the only team that beat every team in the bracket. The seeding and order of the wins had no impact on the outcome. Therefore, like it or not, they are the champions!
What was even better was the Turtles not even showing up vs Rebels.. Turtle coach was an embarrassment, whined and complained the whole time. He should try getting his team ready next time..

None of this is true. They played an extra game in the heat so everyone can play three games. If they would have lost you would be on here laughing at them. No parents were yelling vulgarities. It was the true blue mom at the end of the Field sitting I the chair. There are not guest player. The true blue coach is what is terrible. He complains nonstop and told his team they lost to a terrible team in-front of other kids. He also blamed it on the owner saying he pays for the refs, this is a college coach! The Rebels outplayed you in every aspect of the game. They tied you last time also when they should have won. It’s two teams slowly going In Different directions.

What’s your point. They beat the turtles and true blue in the playoffs. So they went through both anyway.

True Blue were the real champions. Don't bring your unknown players next time.
Embarrassment of Rebel coach not knowing players he's coached all year, unless he hasn't coached them. As a paying parent I'd be very concerned about this situation. Especially when the defense isn't taught how to play the game correctly at the youth level, but then again go tell the opposition in MD, DE, PA ,NJ, and wherever else you drag everybody that you are the champions with a nice tee-shirt. Maybe that's where the money went to not put up any netting behind the goals.

Rebels are terrible role models from top down. No other club has this much classless affiliation. You give LI a bad rap. Wait until the Rebel tat's start showing in July. It's a great day to be a Rebel! Name fits perfect.
I can care less who wins or loses at these tournaments. However, can the people running the tournaments get refs that can move up and down the field. They are either 60 plus years old or severely over weight its a disgrace how many missed calls and how many calls these guys make from 60 yards away. Its absolutely horrible. I get it people make mistakes, but the calls most of these refs make are horrible. On top of that there was different rules in the games, they dont even know the rules of the tournament. Time to get younger and in shape refs, sorry older refs time to fully retire.
What's up with S2S beating DC? Soundly no less. S2S is a nice team, but nowhere close to the talent/age/athletic ability of DC.

The DC team that played this weekend did not look like the normal group, it seemed like a few of the big impact players were not there. Maybe off playing with a national team?
Agree that the officials that don't run or move should not be out there. The bigger problem is the parents. The whining and complaining about every call and non call is a joke. Especially when they are standing there with red cups acting like fools.

True Blue were the real champions. Don't bring your unknown players next time.
Embarrassment of Rebel coach not knowing players he's coached all year, unless he hasn't coached them. As a paying parent I'd be very concerned about this situation. Especially when the defense isn't taught how to play the game correctly at the youth level, but then again go tell the opposition in MD, DE, PA ,NJ, and wherever else you drag everybody that you are the champions with a nice tee-shirt.

Truly laughable that True Blue are the "REAL" Champions. They had twice the amount of kids and still couldn't run anything close to a sustained offense. Maybe your loudmouth Coach should spend some time teaching the kids how to play real lacrosse: passing, catching, ground balls, etc. Let's start with catching a single pass before dropping it and then running a decent clear, not just having your Goalie heave it to midfield. The TB Panthers were completely outplayed and out-coached yesterday, it had nothing to do with scheduling or field setups - just better play when it mattered. TB parents go have a catch with your kids - they need it.
Did you miss the fencing that was behind every field, what are you guys even talking about?

It's amazing that when you can't come to reality that the Rebels are a team going in the right directon, and your sons team is going in the wrong direction you blame the lack of fencing. FYI not only were the Rebels playing with all players that are on their roster, they were missing 5 kids due to injury and conflicts. They played with 4 poles! Not only did you lose to the Rebels this weekend, you lost to a depleted Rebels team that still outworked your bunch whether it be Turtles or True Blue. Rebels played 4 games in the day Saturday because there were 7 teams in the division, 1 team has to play an extra. Kudos for the Rebels playing the extra game in the heat and not pawning it off on another team.

Rebels beat all 6 teams in the division this weekend and had to play an extra game in the 100 heat on Saturday, there should be no excuse on scheduling.

MB is one of the best coaches my kid has ever played for. It's funny to call him white trash when he is probably more successful in his twenties than you are in your 50s!
Interesting article on inside lacrosse website about referee walk out do to safety concern..

What are you rambling about. Defense? MD DE PA NJ? Anyway, we Hat not a T-shirt. But what’s the running TRue Blue joke, it’s everything ones but their fault when the lose. Usual suspect are the grass is too high, the refs, sun in the eyes all game and no balls on the sideline.

Need the slow refs to keep up with the slow true blue offense.
As a parent of a kid who got beat by both True Blue and Rebels I don't understand all the trash talk. Both teams had a great tournament. Hats off to both. As an impartial observer whos kid wanted to stick around and watch the championship game seemed like Rebels coach did the right thing and had his players clog the front of the net. True Blue has great inside passing and looked like world beaters with this fancy passing against the other teams but Rebels did the right thing and kept the middle clogged which made it hard for their inside game. They got out to a fast start due to some sloppiness by True Blue in their zone and held on for the win. It was a nice comeback attempt by True Blue but ultimately it was too little to late. True Blues faceoff kid was great again which lead to True Blue having 60%+ off possession but Rebels goalie saved the day when needed. Looked to me like a case of True Blue having too easy a path to the final after dominating everyone including Turtles and it took them a while to adjust to a well coached team. By the time they did Rebels had the lead and True Blue couldn't come back for the win.

Not sure about who was there 1st day and who wasn't but both teams should be happy with their performance. It could be worse smile

What are you smoking over there in the gang neighborhood? Multiple people got hit by balls that came over the 3 foot cheap fence. You team manager brown nose might like to have your son play over there, but nobody else is buying your snake oil.

Actually DC played crappy defense. Their pressure defense couldn't hold up to Shore's athleticism and they got beat.

Sorry that the truth hurts, or perhaps you are upset that your son did not play in UA All-American. The post above asked a question, and a pretty accurate explanation was offered. I'm not from MD or LI, so no skin in the game, but I have seen the fully loaded DC team play, S2S does not beat that team. Yes, it was a nice win, but please keep it in perspective.
Yeah S2S isn't in there class...both on the field and in school. DC Dogs is loaded with 15/16 year old's it comical

It's 8th grade club lacrosse, keep the whole thing in perspective, means nothing, no championship, no trophy no ring, just a t-shirt and a bunch of kids you'll never play with after 11th grade.

You're operating under the assumption that S2S was playing with their full team and, more importantly, S2S played DC Dogs in a tournament and won the game, that is the only truth that matters (by the way, S2S beat the Dogs at the same tournament last year as well: S2S 2, Dogs 0). Maybe we'll see the Dogs next year and they'll have all of their players.

True Blue has one elite player. The rest of the team is good, but they probably don’t win a game against any decent competition without their fogo. And Rebels, how did they lose to Turtles? Geez, Turtles are a week away from being a memory.

I thought the Turtles beat the real Rebel team the day before and true blue would have don the same on Sunday.

Turtle parents are all bailing. They are heading to their 5th team in 5 years. They will go wherever the new Team 5/old Empire coach goes. I’m sure they will all finally be recognized as the true elite players that their parents always thought they were. Finally they will find someone that appreciates true talent.

After getting their cleats knocked off all season, this win last week will likely be enough to keep Rebel nation together. They got themselves some nice hats.

I thought the little "Syag" guy coached Team 5, the Old Empire coach is coaching Team 5 and is looking to leave? Wow, what a hot mess! Anyway, as long as Team 5 remain east of Manhasset all is good, we didn't have to lock our car doors during practice this year.
See you at our tryouts pot stirrer. I heard more of your kids are bailing once again. Says a lot when a club can't keep their kids!

Not knocking the kids, but the team is at peace without all of the sideline drama caused by the Easterners. Glad we got rid of your Group. When we played, we heard the same person yelling the same phrase(s) from the sidelines, and the kid looking over to his father just like last year.

What team is this


The team is Igloo. They took on several players last year and they were unable to perform to the standards held by a top club. Maybe if they stayed this past season and tried to earn a spot, things may have been different. Unfortunately, the parents are typical sideline cancers who believe their kids deserve to be starters.. it was a disaster from the beginning and a separation of paths was inevitable. I truly believe the cycle of moving these boys from team to team every year is damaging their opportunities to be successful. These same players play for Team 5 and Turtles and are again unhappy. There is definitely a common denominator and it’s invasive.

The parent who coaches Team 5 demanded his son start last year, his feelings concerning were clearly conveyed to the coaching staff. Afterwards, it was a toxic sideline setting. Hope he got what he wanted with the new team.

Well, I think Turtles played in (and lost) one B tournament, had about 10 practices and no winter training. Some people get what they deserve. But next year, watch out!! I’m sure whatever team these 10 boys go to will be tops in the age group!

I don't think you know much of what you're talking about, but you keep paying the highest prices for your club, but I'm sure you think little Johnny already signed his NLC.

We're actually west of the border big guy. Are you jealous?
The team is Igloo. They took on several players last year and they were unable to perform to the standards held by a top club. Maybe if they stayed this past season and tried to earn a spot, things may have been different. Unfortunately, the parents are typical sideline cancers who believe their kids deserve to be starters.. it was a disaster from the beginning and a separation of paths was inevitable. I truly believe the cycle of moving these boys from team to team every year is damaging their opportunities to be successful. These same players play for Team 5 and Turtles and are again unhappy. There is definitely a common denominator and it’s invasive.


The parent who coaches Team 5 demanded his son start last year, his feelings concerning were clearly conveyed to the coaching staff. Afterwards, it was a toxic sideline setting. Hope he got what he wanted with the new team.


Well, I think Turtles played in (and lost) one B tournament, had about 10 practices and no winter training. Some people get what they deserve. But next year, watch out!! I’m sure whatever team these 10 boys go to will be tops in the age group!


I don't think you know much of what you're talking about, but you keep paying the highest prices for your club, but I'm sure you think little Johnny already signed his NLC.



Any way we can get the parents being trashed in these posts to wear bright shiny pinnies at tryouts so that if we see them we can jump back in our car and zoom away from that tryout????

Then please don't come to our tryouts in Jericho.
Hey, Michael Brennan where are the box uniforms that were part of the tuition? They were nice looking hanging in the Rebels tent for sale at the spring jam.
He gave them to his guest players

The email for next year's tryouts went out before the kids got all the gear that was promised

They were hanging there with Rebel tatoos for the Mom's, and Blatant underwear for sale.

What's your issue there friend. Im sure M B has time to answer you on these forums. Really couldn't think of anything better to bash his club about.

We got more gear than I ever have with a club so i'm not even sure if box uniforms were on our package. What we did get brand new gloves that were not on their tuition... Why don't you just give M a call instead of writing here.

Just a thought, would he lost time if he was a better player? Maybe the answer is sitting across the table from you.

Honestly no one should lose playing time to someone that is not paying for the team. That just shows you the Rebels are about winning and false promises not about developing players or communication like they are claiming.

THERE WERE NO GUEST PLAYERS FOR THAT TOURNAMENT. IT WAS THE SAME PLAYERS FROM THE START OF THE SPRING SEASON. A MIDDIE QUIT AND THEY BROUGHT IN ANOTHER MIDDIE WHO PLAYED VERY LITTLE.
Sorry but NO GUEST Players. Same person keeps bashing Rebels. Truth is 2023 getting some very good new players going forward.

Rebels have some talent for sure. They just need to put it together. They’re certainly better than the Turtles. Can’t wait to hear their excuses for this weekends poor showing. What a train wreck.
Turtles need to do some better tournaments.
Rebels not top team, but close. Think they do a good job scheduling top recruiting tourneys. I would see them adding some talent. 2021 and 2022 Very good competitive teams

It’s so obvious you are a bitter igloo parent or coach who is clearly obsessed with the few that left last year and are still talking about it. Could be that you’re mad you didn’t have the balls to leave and are still paying 4k for your kid not to play and getting jerked around by the hot headed, sociopath coach. stinks to be you.

It's hard to develop when you have psycho coaches.
its your choice where your child plays. Find the right team and coach. Coming on BOTC and bashing a coach solves nothing for your kid. Move on already.

Agreed
Terrible Turtles parents are at it again I see. They just don’t get it. And they likely never will.

Sounds like the post came from a unhappy parent. Remember pal, time is running out quickly. Maybe your kid isn't as good of a player as you think. PAL days are over.

Sounds like you're stirring the pot to get your kid on the team. You don't like your current team? What's wrong? Try to get some therapy for you and your kid. It will help.
The turtles are everything wrong with club lacrosse-They wont have teams at many ages they say they will- Numbers will be weak-

its kind of odd to see all of this constant bashing of a first year team. Makes you think that it might be coming from the coach that is trying to poach all of its players
what did express cost last year? where did the 2 b teams practice?

Noooo, you think?
The Head Turtle can not get kids so he is trying to poach.
1-11-3
Long way to go on last tourney for ONE win
Relax there guy.......If you want a T-shirt that bad I have a drawer full of them for you. News Flash! Colleges don't and will never care what your little Johnny's travel team record was or how many T-shirts he won. It's going to come down to character, skill and if he's coach-able. If he takes after you..........he's in trouble!

No need to bash the kid(s), so I'll speak on the parents, but the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Character, and if he's coach-able, well, there are a few falling well bellow the passing grade pertaining to these characteristics...But if you look at the parents you know why.
Gentleman why do all of you guys argue about meaningless stuff. All of you should be happy you have a healthy young man that is playing a sport he hopefully loves. In three years all this travel garbage is obsolete, none of it matters. I wish you all good luck and i hope all the kids that play go on to play Lacrosse at the next level whether is D-1,2,3. Education is all that counts. Enjoy the rest of the summer with your families and stop the arguing...

Good luck with Empire 😂😂. The problem with those kids is that they have no place to go. Their parents have burned virtually every bridge conceivable. The kids are decent players, but won’t be impactful on a better team; therefore, why would a coach disrupt team chemistry for a player that won’t make them better? They would be role players, which will make the parents angry, which will see them moving on to their next team the following year. And the cycle will continue. The parents ruined their opportunities. They will be going to individual showcases in the coming years.

It’s nit odd that people bash the Turtles. Many of those parents have made a lot of enemies on all of the clubs they’ve played for over the years. They have talked badly about other players on their teams from the sidelines and that doesn’t sit well. Cheer for your child and cheer for your team. But, don’t insult other kids because the play over your son. That’s plain unacceptable and the reason no one likes them.

I second that. You're most likely correct, it's not the organization. I know last year, especially one (parent), was constantly talking badly about other kid(s) that have played over his son. I couldn't be on the sidelines with him again, it's disruptive and classless, but take into consideration who it's coming from.

Why are all these elitist Igloo posts keep coming? How many more will be leaving your team this year?
Can someone please explain how a kid gets cut from the Suffolk all star team and doesn’t play in the Nassau Suffolk game shows up to practice and kids ask him what are you doing here and he responds that he is now on the team and playing with them up in Binghamton???how does this happen??? Why have tryouts??? Just let JS pick the kids he wants to play. SMH!!!

This will get better by this age kids find their places and there is less drama
Is there anyone else that’s pretty much lost interest in this whole travel lacrosse scene? We have 2 boys and a baby girl with the 14yo being the oldest and the little guy too young to play yet. My 14yo loves to play and I enjoy watching, but this has become an ordeal. Especially the away tournaments. I feel like we are in a heard of sheep at these events. Now that high school is around the corner, is there really any benefit in continuing this? He is a very good player, so I feel he will get noticed regardless. Am I wrong? Do colleges really focus on travel lacrosse more so than school ball? I get there are conflicts in the school season, but don’t colleges with competitive lacrosse programs scout high school anymore?
At this point, we already know who will beat who, so there is no point playing them again. Very few, if any, impact players are leaving their teams and many organizations will bring guest players to ensure a win if they feel a tournament will be competitive. My son has been asked to help other teams at times which I declined. I’m not here to brag, just fed up with the scene.

In addition, we didn't have to lock our car doors at practice this year, and see the one father walk the sidelines with a lacrosse stick during the game while constantly spitting . What a relief.

They have talked badly about other players on their teams from the sidelines and that doesn’t sit well. Cheer for your child and cheer for your team. But, don’t insult other kids because the play over your son. That’s plain unacceptable and the reason no one likes them.

In addition, we didn't have to lock our car doors at practice this year, and see the one father walk the sidelines with a lacrosse stick during the game while constantly spitting . What a relief.


You posted almost the exact corny joke not long ago and no one bit. Get a life. We get it you don’t like them. Move on.

Good luck with Empire 😂😂. The problem with those kids is that they have no place to go. Their parents have burned virtually every bridge conceivable. The kids are decent players, but won’t be impactful on a better team; therefore, why would a coach disrupt team chemistry for a player that won’t make them better? They would be role players, which will make the parents angry, which will see them moving on to their next team the following year. And the cycle will continue. The parents ruined their opportunities. They will be going to individual showcases in the coming years.

Ouch, sounds like someone took a bite and/or hit a nerve.
Nice try but 5-2 score means fogo didnt really play a big role in game.

This is due to kids playing too many games in extreme conditions and on top of that all the extras that go with it

Just let it go spend your money where you want
Here's a little advice and it is good. Being on The best team doesn't matter if your kid isn't getting or going to get good playing time move on. This is the last year anyone cares about winning starting next year it's all about kids getting prepared to be seen by college coaches through travel lacrosse and their individual HS seasons. Winning T shirt days and pounding your chest are finally gone and that is good

My older son is a 2021and this is so accurate Also feel like the parents care way more than the kids do about the petty stuff While not full go starting next year (summer) college coaches will be poking around 2023 players don't be the parent to ruin it for your kid word travels fast amongst coaches

There are no incoming catholic school kids on that team. Only a few showed up for the tryout. They then gave the team to the Long Beach PAL Coach. He then filled the team with his son and his friends. about 90% of the kids are from Long Beach. He also had his son and his 2 nephews added to the all star game. All these kids were cut in the 1st round of tryouts for the Nassau team. Total Joke!!!

If it's (tournament) is a total joke, what does that say about the parents who are suppose to be leading their kids? Keep running and chasing, all while the money is flying from your pockets!

After the top 25 game, the tournament is a joke. Many kids who make top 25 don’t even attend. NYC team is filled with kids that didn’t make the top 50 game. It’s a paY and play at that point. Don’t look at the allstar game with too much excitement either, they pick them during the second game and it’s mostly, if not all,political. Case in point the parochial kids on allstar game. His son is maybe worse defensemen there.

You heard wrong. Express is very deep & done well with their current & talented middies. Nobody needs disgruntled players/parents. Try the Rebels - that is probably a better fit.

It's actually a pretty fun tournament for the kids. It's one of the few tournaments the teams all get to hang out with one another for 24 hours a day and get to know their teammates and teams from other regions. The parents are minimally involved and get to watch / enjoy the boys playing without the any pressure. the competition is okay but that's not the point. If your kid doesn't want to play then don't send him but he will be missing out on a fun couple days.

Your so fed up you cane on a lacrosse message board to discuss


Unless your son plays for an elite HS like Manhasset, GC, Chaminade, St. Anthony and a few others, his chances of being recruited out of HS are diminished. He can create a great highlight video from his HS games but that is only step 1 in the process and the colleges will want to see him playing live. One efficient way is to play for a club team that goes to the tournaments where most of the coaches attend. Since this is a 2023 forum you will have until at least Fall of their sophomore year before colleges will even glance at this grade. To answer your question, club lacrosse is not absolutely necessary but will make it easier to get noticed when the time comes.

How do coaches cheat?
It's that time of year again. If you can't beat them then join them time. Well T-shirt days are over. If you are riding the bench change teams and start buying your kid shirts. Playing time should always be top Priority . That will be more important now then ever. Good luck all..

I would hope your HS team is more important than some lame club team, but hey whatever your priorities.

Thank you for the informative and intelligent response. They are few and far between on this cesspool of forum.
Interesting, 5 years ago watching all the self proclaimed "little Johnny studs", some now are just run of the mill players. Kids that began playing late have now surpassed the 'studs" in sound fundamentals, skill and strength.

I've even seen some smaller kids in the past are now flat out studs. There's more parity as this group goes into high school.

And many of the ones who surpassed Johnny stud will get passed by when they hit 10th. Funny how that puberty thing works.
Couldn’t agree any more then this comment.
My son played for Suffolk.He said all the boys interaction with the different teams in the dorms was a blast.
At their age to meet and hang with other boys from all different teams off the field is a great experience for them.
Every time I saw him he was smiling ear to ear.it was a college like experience with lax in the mix.
Kudos to all the organizers and coaches that made this event happen!!
It was well run and he will be trying out again next year.
It was also nice for us parents to meet up at night and grab a bite and have a drink together without thinking about getting our boys up and ready in the morning.The responsibility was alll on the boys in the morning.(I think that part was terrific).
Taking on more responsibility at this age is soo important.
My son played on parochial 2023 team
He made the top 50 cut and just missed on Nassau 25
Was ask to play for parochial team and choose to for the experience
Had a great time
Yes they lost to a powerhouse Suffolk team like everyone else and lost a close game to Adirondack 5-6
The only had 18 kids on team compared to 25 or more on other teams
Finished up 2 day with 2 strong wins
3-2 record
Not sure what first guy who posted is talking about but sounds like he never played before

Think he is talking about the spirit of the tournament. Parochial and NYC were all kids that got cut before top 50 and top 25 from suffolk and Nassau. So it’s not really playing against the best parochial and NYC kids. The tournament is showcased and your paying to play against they best. No offense please. Makes no sense to continue after the top 25 game to blow everyone out and play the same team in finals you played two weeks earlier.

Exactly!! It cheapens the event when you give a Daddy coach a team and let him INVITE players who he knows. It’s even worse when you give it to a guy that is known to be over the top crazy. He was mentioned a few weeks back as one of the “psycho” coaches at this age group.
Don’t worry about the coaches, all you parents are the “psychos” knocking kids and dads who volunteer their time. Pick up a whistle and get it done if you’re so incensed. Bunch of whiny tw@!$
Club daddy coaches don’t volunteer. They get paid and / or kids play for free. PAL coaches are volunteers
Who's staying and who's going?

How many club Daddy's are on Igloo A vs Igloo B? Is there any difference in playing time because of that? What team would be a better fit because of Daddy coaches?
Whose a holdback? You're a holdback, he's a holdback, everybody's a holdback. What a bunch of whiners. It's about safety my @$$. It's about wins and losses, I've never seen grown men cry as much about kiddie games in all my life. Go cut your lawn or something, but please stop carrying on day in and day out.

The Drunken Rant!!!! Next time wright your rant on a napkin sleep off all the alcohol then when you wake up and the hangover is gone reread the napkin and ask yourself is this something I Really want to post.

Must be the defenders. They’re the only best players.

Doesn’t say the went to Igloo “ AA” or Express “AA”. I heard Express AA took two key players from Igloo AA and hoping to get one more. If that is the case then Igloo might be filling those spots. Doubt Express is taking any Rebels on the AA team.
Anything you purchase you know the cost before hand. Only travel lacrosse, you must commit to a team (via deposit) then you are informed of the total cost.
Igloo goalie at S2S last night. Igloo players seem to be looking else where!

Sounds like a former parent and many know who. Listen, be grateful, you had no where else to go, if it weren't for your current team, you would be on the outside looking in, So wipe your mouth and shut-up ...PAL

I saw him. Definitely not from their A team. Probably a lot B players looking to move to other clubs when they can’t make the A team.
Sorry Coach....my bad

Huh? Not an Igloo parent. Never was, never have been. I found it interesting that there would be goalie movement at this age. Both S2S teams have 2 good goalies. So unless one is leaving not sure that is a position fill. Confirms what many have said about an exodus at Igloo. Even at those niche positions the Igloo kids are looking to leave.
