Use this thread to discuss the Boys 2025-6th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Season
Good turnout at tryouts yesterday. 60 kids approximately
Does anyone have any info on the turtles for this age group? I know tryouts happened already, how was the turn out?
Low numbers , average to below average skill. B- team. The only talent they had already committed to other teams.
2025 AA team roster for 91 not out yet.
Not sure why, because the 2nd tean roster for 2025 Hornets is out.

2025 Hornets has 28 players.....ridiculous!

Can you say "money grab"???

Beware parents whose kids made it on to 2025 Hornets for 91.
Look at what happened with 2025 Ice.
They dont care about you. They only care about their top team.
the hornets took 28 kids in anticipation of not everyone accepting there offer
Was it 60 just for 2025?
What happened to 2025 Ice?

That’s is a bad business decision in my opinion to invite 28. I can tell you from experience a 28 man roster on a B team is frustrating for your son, you, the coaches, and the entire team. 5 attack, 8 mids, 5 poles, an lsm and 2 goalies, not that hard. And yes, I know some over invite to account for the declines, wrong in my opinion. Invite an appropriate sized roster and add as needed.
Incorrect. Teams dont accept 28 kids in anticipation of kids rejecting.
Because then if everyone accepts, you are left with more kids than you want on the team.
You put out a roster for the number of kids you want. And you have a waiting list if people dont accept.

The most you do normally is hedge your original number by 1 ir 2.
Example ideally if you want a team of 21 or 22. You may put out a roster of 23 or 24, knowing if everyone accepts, its still not a ridiculous amount and you can manage playing time.

28 is ridiculous. And thats what they are looking to have because its a "money grab".
Those are the 2 teams they took from the Ducks
I'm assuming just about evey kid that went to 91 eval camp got an invite to at least the B team. Most are gunning for the AA team and end up on second. They will go back to their club from last year. Out of 28 they will pick up 15 and then will have supplemental tryouts throught the fall. That's how it goes for all of these B teams....except Express because they start with 35.
Unless you have the "best attackman in the country” then It’s 3 attack, 4 middies, 4 defense a goalie and a pole cause “everyone knows that high school doesn’t sub”. Those words actually were said in a parent meeting. Cannot make this stuff up.
rebels stand for something? rebels.?

Went to rebels tryout. The 2025 had a good turnout but they all had Ducks helmets on so I guess these are the teams that they took.All of the other age groups were light. It looks like only 2 guys left the ducks to start rebels. I wish all of these programs would just stay together. It always greener on the other side (($$$)).
Outlaws, Legacy and now ducks. Money and lies is what breaks these programs up. Keep the $ out of it and coach our kids. Give us a solid honest program! Good coaches, training off season and tournaments to play. I dont care at this point if we leave LI. W have played plenty of LI teams in NJ and Mass.
Travel lax is getting out of hand.
Thats odd. When you type rebels. the forum changes it to Rebels?
Glitch in system.
You have to type the name with periods.
rebels.
Which is what happened with 91 Ice 2 years ago.
They accepted 28 kids on roster.
Ended up with not enough kids accepting.
Ran through a season undermanned taking peoples money.

Then last year they tried to revive Ice.
Put out a roster, but people already knew about the fiasco from the year before. Most people didnt accept. They were left with no ability to field a team.
And people who did accept were left to figure out last minute to find a team for their kid.
with the ice team, 91 ended up merging the 4th graders(2025) that were on ice with a 3rd grade C team(2026) that didn't have enough to field there team without notifying anyone. complete disaster, talk about non competitive lacrosse. everyone pretty much wasted $3,000 that season. i think everyone bolted once the coaches left.

There was only a handful of 2nd Teams at this age. At least you have a benchmark and should be looking for info on one of these teams first in my opinion. Ask questions and get feedback if your son is not able to make an A team.

Ducks
Express
Legacy
24
Mamas Boyz
S2S
Hitmen (only team, but on the same level)
Outlaws (same)
Recon (same)

There are Different Levels To These Teams Tho:
B+ Level Teams are: Legacy, Outlaws, Express, S2S
B- Level Teams are: Hitmen, Ducks,
C Level Teams are: 24, Recon & Mamas Boys
First Ducks no longer exist.
Coaches now formed new program out east.

That team will probably be an A- team after tryouts. Good bones. Good coaches.
Same for Igloo. Looking at A- team.
And either of these could be even better. Only time will tell.
Then there is Rebels. New team. But shows real promise, and offers a lot. Has good coaches as well. If they follow through and recruit real talent in their tryouts, then that could be A- team as well.
what about Empire?

Okay... but since 2nd teams can be awesome to bad experiences and everything in between. What teams are the 2nd teams or other teams on that level that folks should be looking into so they make the best choice possible. Let’s try to be productive here and make it informative.

For example, Express has a very good core, solid coaching, regular practice and training (extra). Only criticism is too large a roster.
express b team core largely leaving. team ended up a mess toward end of season. there were a bunch of posts about it.
Empire has not been good at all for years at 2025 level.

Then look at Rebels. Thats what they are saying they are creating. A more interactive coaching experience, with evaluations and open communication.
And so far after pretryouts that has absolutely been the case.
It will be interesting to find out more at full tryouts next week on Monday and Tuesday.

Terrible experience with Express B last season, Loaded roster, kids that cant catch or throw. A lot of unhappy parents now looking for another club. They could have a really competitive B team if they wanted one. Seems like it is now a money grab like most of the other B teams.
All I know is Ciazza is a good coach and will be dedicated to 91 Hornets. If the top kids (at the B level) stay from tryouts, that will be a good spot. Just depends who stays. Hopefully not 28. Good luck to everyone

I think what everyone forgets is many of the people who attended the camp went for the camp aspect and eval because it was a good deal. Not all were really serious about going to 91 at all.
If those people are on the B roster they will probably decline.
If any are on the A roster they still may not make the switch.
Then whatever the A team loses they will pull the top players from the B team up.
And then the B team will have weaker kids offered spots on team.
Never a good scenario for B team.

Also you say Ciazzo is dedicated and good coach.
They said the same about OReilly on Express. How has that turned out for Express B team?
Dont live in a fantasy world.
First you bash them because they supposedly invited 28 kids.

Now you bash them because they won’t have enough kids to field a B team.

Which is it?

Your hate for 91 is palpable.

I feel bad for you.

Which comment are you responding to?
Mine about people declining because they attended camp for the camp and not because they were serious about going on team.
I think your getting confused with the conversations.
Maybe you should stop bashing people just because they give an opinion contrary to yours.

Really upset. Next time would be win.
Picking a B team for your son is hard because it’s a mix of kids who love lax and can’t make an A team yet and kids that play other travel sports and pick up a stick only at practice and miss practice for other year round sports. I wouldn’t believe all the bashing on this forum, because it’s hard to know what’s what. However, you know the root of all the concerns. Just ask... when you get that invite compile the questions and ask director outright. If you don’t get answers you like, or no answer, move on. So much choice out there.
70+ kids came out for S2S tryouts yesterday. Where are all these kids coming from?
How do the rest of the 2025 tryouts look? We only went to one (not 91 or Express) session possibly to make a switch. Probably an B+/A- program at this point. They only had one team last year but may be trying to add another. Not sure how competitive the 2nd team would be.
all depends where you live
Which a team to chose. Rebels, igloo, s2s
No

Stop with the B+, A- etc etc , call it what it is A team and B team enough already. So if a A team doesn’t and goes 1-2-1 do what are the B+ A- ,A ??

91 cares nothing for their 2nd and now 3rd teams on some grades. The coaches get zero support from Dynamic Sports, the head coach gets no help coaching unless you're lucky enough to have some dads step up. Also, they stick you in all their own tournaments no matter how bad the tournament is. I have first-hand knowledge of this on another grade. Don't do a B team with 91. It's bad. Also, they have an equal playing time policy which the head coach must follow. Basically, it's PAL with a bigger price tag.
Very impressed with Rebels level of professionalism. Everything laid out on website for all to see. Schedules, pricing, tournaments, coaching. Well done.

Dont mind the stunad commenters on this forum. They are threataned by anything new.
I found the Rebels layout excellent also. Plus they were really responsive after signing up for tryouts and following up after pre tryouts.
Have a few teams that Im looking at and have not made up my mind, but defenitely continuing to check it out at the tryouts next week.

Why is everyone duped into thinking there is a new level between A and B. There isn’t. Good luck on your next B team, because it will be so much better...

That makes no sense. So make the B team worse right off the bat. These invite numbers are an indication that the process is dumb, sorry, my opinion, but it is. Let’s account for declines to back into a revenue number. Can you directors give it some thought and come with a process for 2nd teams and 1st teams to thrive independently. How about once these clubs set the A team invites and and get firm commitments. They then invite anybody, even if you didn’t attend the first tryout, interested in the 2nd team back to supplemental tryouts. Yeah more work, but that’s a better process, that forms a better team. And a lot of people are getting over the shock of being cut from the A team. It’s always feels like it’s a race to beat the down payment dates vs the other clubs. Take your time with this decision, it’s big investment.

Had to be a parent cut. People should feel badly for that girl. A very nice kid with a father that would rival LaVar Ball. What would make him think it is smart to leave the right grade and move up as boys are reaching towards puberty.

This is kind of how hockey does it. Organizations that have Tier I teams have their Tier I tryouts first. They offer and get commitments and have there team more or less in place very quickly. Then the Tier II is a week or two later, and any kid who tried out for tier I but didn't make it is allowed to try out at tier II for a nominal extra fee. Further, USA hockey (or maybe just the Atlantic district) dictates when you are to have tryouts for each tier (usually in terms of the week of ____). Thus clubs can't play games with dates in order to try to gain a strategic advantage, and kids can't show up at a million rinks and string clubs along very easily.
My son tried out for 24 Lax 2025 and there coach mentioned how they were a mid level B team this past summer and are trying to get to the B+ level. Still looking to add a few players. Is it worth looking into or showing up to their practice/eval on Tuesday of next week?

In Nassau the only other B team is Express and S2S. So go to all of them.

You dont know what your talking about. They had their reasons. And they were legitimate ones.
And if the coaches on the 2025AA didnt let her back on that team if she wanted it then they should be ashamed of themselves. She is the reason they have won half their games. And she is a good person as well as a great goalie.
The straight scoop is she was no longer happy playing for 91. They had a choice, go to Chan or try to go to 2024. Going to Chan meant playing against friends. They wouldn't do that unless they had to. She has a lot of friends on our team and I know she cares about them. My son was very upset when she left. Hopefully she finds a place on a 2024 team and doesn't end up with Chan.

The straight scoop is that her Dad was unhappy because no one was kissing his fanny and the kid now suffers. Express wants no part of them after her poor games at the NLF and we know the boys are passing her up as they become men. Now she will have to play with a weak team and daddy will know he messed this up badly.

The straight scoop is not just simply she wasnt happy. A young girl is not just unhappy on a team. There were kids on that team that were mean. Dont dance around it.

Why does she play the boys game and not girls? Why not go you chan? All these kids play against friends. That’s silly and doesn’t sound legit.

She is a very good goalie at this level but there is no guarantee she plays for Chan. Express has a very good goalie as well. I hope it all works out for her.

Isn't more difficult to play goalie in girls lacrosse?
Heard many goalies are trying out for Chan, maybe things will be changing at Express!
Good Luck with the one goalie who no one wants... Hopefully you get a Tee Shirt that fits the dad

Come Monday and find out. They were rumors of two A teams, but doubt that, two much choice.

Grow up. What do you care?
Just curious what makes up a good goalie at this level? What are coaches looking for?

Now she will have to play with a weak team and daddy will know he messed this up badly.



"Become men" now that's funny

Grow up. What do you care?


It's a warning! The organization cut the parent. I guess the talent wasn't too good to pass up.

It is called puberty, it's on its way!
I'm told by many experts from all over the sports world that when that happens the boys get stronger and faster and the shots get harder and sticks quicker.

No way she can keep up.
It's over and Daddy couldn't have screwed it up any worse.

You know nothing. Your just some wannabee getting off on insulting a young kid.

If she tries out for Chan, she is sure to be grabbed by him. But the question is whether she wants Express.

There are lots of options out there, and plenty of teams that are going to be competitive this year.

Come Monday and find out. They were rumors of two A teams, but doubt that, two much choice.

A few kids from Express have gone elsewhere.


No one who actually plays is going anywhere!!!

No insults, facts. And I know plenty. It’s a shame that you screwed your kid up Goalie Dad. Your dream is over. No top team wants the headache.
Is there a surgery imminent? Why doesn't she play with girls?

Well yeah. But there are kids that can play that are leaving to play. It might affect their ability to field two A teams.
I agree. My son can’t go and play goalie for the yellow jackets. Why is she allowed to play on a boys team? I have no problem if a girl has no team to play on, let her play on a boys team. This often happens with wrestling. But with lacrosse there are plenty of teams for a girl to play on
Anyone know how the Ducks, now rebels team was this past season? Can they make the jump to hang with Express and 9D1? How are the coaches?

You know nothing about this dad. You could not be farther from the truth. He was one of the nicest dads and not a high maintenance parent at all.
Your just making up stuff to put on this forum.

No chance and I not meaning to sound abnoxious. 10 goals worse and now the team is watered down from the split.
What’s up with Geese? Will they have a team this year? There were a few posts about new coach, but did they pick up good kids to replace those who left?
No one will keep up with Express or 91. They are the clear top 2025 teams.
There was not a boy on that team who was mean to her.

Ducks, now new team.
Based on tryouts so far, should be much better than last year.

Never did happen, not once and she was reared like every other boy.

If no special treatment and being goofed on like kids do s being mean then someone needs a thicker skin and it will only get worse. Daddy made this bed and now they have to sleep in it.

Not all the kids. But a few of them did.
But clearly your one of the 91 parents who raised your kid to be a little donk.
And her dad has only been an encouraging lacrosse parent of all the kids.
The only person who has something wrong with them is you.

Fake news! And you can enjoy your time on the Rebels or Rash or Ducks or whatever team your kid ends up with where the kids are much nicer and maybe little Johnnie can start. But it’s certain that lying about how the boys acted as you make your way out the door shows what angry, low class weasels you and your kid must be.

Don’t let the door hit you in the rear on your way out!

Yes they have a team. The core of the boys that finished the season with them remained. And they did pick up some Express kids. They have the same two coaches that finished the season up with them and heard they might be bringing on another experienced travel coach. They may not be the geese of old but they will have a team.
There is something really wrong when adult men pick on little girls....

Says the guy attacking the parent of their long time goalie.
You prove by what you write and how you throw insults, that your the absolute low life.
No doubt your the same low life insulting half the kids on the 91 team in last years botc forum.
Just proves I am the only one telling the truth here.
Too bad a few poisonous apples can destroy a team.

I agree. Says a lot about the lack of sportsmanlike conduct on tthat 91 team. Glad I didnt have my kid go to those tryouts.
Hearing a lot of talent headed to Rebels tryouts... geese, 91, express, igloo helmets were all prominent at the tryout camp. With their coaching and players they seem to be attracting will be interesting where they will fit towards the top of the pack a year down the line. And NO I am not saying they will come out of the gate beating the top 2 teams, but they just might compete and build into a top 3 team in this age.
Only players that came over to the Geese where the ones from Chan that never played or didn't pay for his extra training sessions.

I hear that the adult men all picked on her, punched her and forced her father to have her abandon the team in the middle of the season. Then the kids of these same monsters forced her to freeze on clears and get overpowered on high shots. Then they forced her dad to sign her up to try out for an older 91 team she couldn’t make. Even worse, the kids were found biting her face after she gave up goals and not sharing their Gatorade with her when she wasn’t playing well.

That’s the truth. It’s a sin what happened and I saw it!!! If I hadn’t stopped it
I think she would have ended up in the hospital!!! I think she had to leave the team for her own safety. Thank the lord her parents saw what was happening and got her out of that evil environment..

100% right. It shows you what kind of trash these people are. Someone decides to leave for whatever their reason and these creepy parents go on the attack. Some really sick parents in 91 land. Gross.
Parents please adresss the 2nd bar syndrome at tryouts, it’s becoming epidemic. Just YouTube it for th cure. I know evaluators take note of it, not kidding. #tilt

You know what? That is enough. That girl did not abandon the team mid season, and she was a fantastic goalie the entire time. Anyone who played lacrosse on any team knew who she was and how skilled she was and saw her playing at the tournaments.

You are really embarassing your whole 91 2025AA team lashing out at a young kid and her parents.

Its ridiculous that your coaches have not had the common sense to put parents of your team on notice to stop this horrendous behavior.
Or maybe they have and you are just a complete stunad.
Either way, its absolutely disgusting.
You should be truly ashamed of yourself that you just wrote that.

You call yourself a top team. But you dont behave like one at all with the way you have attacked not only people on this forum with your posts, but also current and former teammates and their parents.

Of course, I am sure its just a group of you doing this, and not the whole team. However, then the rest have to stand up and put a stop to the ones on their team behaving like this. Because its a reflection on the whole team.

I hope your coaches start to take this seriously, which they really need to, and root out who you are and remove you from their team.
Coaches are not fools. They can figure out.

I agree, break all of their fingers so they can't post no mo! I hear the coaching staff is already tracking down these villains and will be yanking their children from the squad. Good luck to all of the kids who left the bad environment at 91, I'll bet ya that it will not be the last stop for any of you.

Above is your 91 parent. Plus many other prior disgusting posts.
And clearly the coaches on 91 do not care how unsportsmanlike their parents and kids act.
You do not see Express, Igloo, True Blue, or any other teams act as badly as these parents do.
Something to seriously consider when choosing a team.
You realize, of course, that this is probably NOT a 9d1 parent at all. My guess is that it is a Russian. They are apparently everywhere!

LOL
Well thats what the 91 parents will say.
Too funny.
how many teams will Chan be able to make at this age. Any pre-tyout thoughts?
Anyone know anything about the empire team? my son wants to tryout for them
not happy with your team.24 east tryouts begin today.the price is right with great coaches

I heard it a secret plot by the Russians also. They ARE everywhere. доброй ночи
24 EAST coaching is weak and very hostile

Weak team. Look at tourney results.
Rebels has a good turnout today for tryouts. Some real talent showing up for them. And they still have another tryout tomorrow, plus another one mid August I think. They should be able to pull together a good team.
Rebels - enough talent for an A level team?
Assistant coach for the Rebels who used to be assistant coach for the Geese is really impressive at the Rebels tryouts. Really a shame that the Geese lost him.
Combining him as assistant coach with the Commack varsity coach as head coach is a great coaching team. And there supposed to have another coach as well joining.
i saw empire was in a couple of championship games
What are the best options for private goalie training in Nassau? thanks for any info
seems worth checking out. how many kids at tryouts? thinking could be good if only taking the best 22 kids.
Makes sense as to all the Legacy helmets there. Parents should realize you go where the coaching is and the commitment level of the coaches that are there. Impressive if all those Legacy helmets are there for him or is it the current status of legacy 2025? Who knows.

The b.o. guys are pretty decent. Went to the D.L one once and it was more of a meat market, Just sign up as many kids as possible and not a lot of reps. might be better looking at local options who specialize in training, local indoor training place that does stuff or finding a local college or high school kid as a cheaper option. Ridiculous how expensive it costs.
Lot of kids at Rebels and Express today?

Dynamic Lacrosse goalie training is a waste of time and money. Huge amounts of kids, low reps and very few if any qualified trainers. Most "trainers" are Farmingdale players just shooting on kids. The "Directors" coaching consists of them showing up on occasion and talking to their cronies.

BO is supposedly good but I've never had my kid there. Best bet is to grab a varsity goalie and have them meet you at your local high school.

I wasn't a big fan of BO goaltending. For the same price you can get a private one on one lesson with a good coach. Chris Gill is great with the kids. He does his stuff out of commack HS. One thing I've discovered very quickly. People don't look to give out the names of their goalie coaches. They are afraid they can't get a session if to many people use him/her. I think thats childish. Don't just book a coach based on what program he/she played for. Some of the best goalies out of the best programs were terrible coaches for one on one sessions. Best of luck

2025 is their best team? I wish the club all the best, but the 2025s aren’t a team until deposits are in, kids do tryout for multiple clubs.

Express was fine solid numbers and had their top talent on display. Some other really good non express players were there as well.
Those are Islip helmets. Legacy Geese returned all the top kids plus added some additions with room for a few more high quality families.
Trying to make the right selection between the "B" Talent teams for my son - 24, Hitmen, and Icon. Any help here would be more than appreciated. Opinions on their 2025 teams?

Of course thats the case. The fact is thats the case for any team holding tryouts.
But if you went to Rebels tryouts and spoke to them, then you would understand why many of us have them on the top of our list for clubs our kids have tried out for.
And actually I know for a fact they have locked in some talented players already from their pretryout camp. And they are not going to take more than 18-22 kids.

Check out tourney for how the teams did in their tournaments in 2018.
Fully aware .Geese kids are signed up and ready to go. The others left last year. Teams just like to use the 91/Express and Geese kids to sell the other parents. Tryouts are over and the kids that went accepted. If they move it’s going to be to one of the other 2 teams or Igloo so they have a shot to play in the WSYL. .They are not looking to go to a team for cool gear. These kids are all very good and got to that level with the help from the teams that have played on and kids they played with.

Correct. The Rebels would be a success if they lost by 10 or less to the top teams. Because all the kids are good, but the top players from each team don’t often move.
Those were definitely geese helmets. I spoke with a dad of one of them on the sidelines. There were also some at 91 and express tryouts. The entire attack left, two three defensemen gone, goalie gone, half the midfielders went bye bye but the dads kid is still there and so is the dad.

LOL
The top kids on teams like 91 and Express are not the top kids by the following year.
Those coaches are about aquiring not developing.
There will always be someone they are poaching.
And then the kids who used to be on top will be looking elsewhere.
Already has happened on these teams.
I disagree, the five best players left legacy mid season and a few more after the season. There’s always movement for different reasons.

I think 2025 will be there best team. 2024 will be decent but the older teams will be bad.


I didnt stay around for 2024, but 2025 shows real promise. Lots of talent.


2025 is their best team? I wish the club all the best, but the 2025s aren’t a team until deposits are in, kids do tryout for multiple clubs.


Of course thats the case. The fact is thats the case for any team holding tryouts.
But if you went to Rebels tryouts and spoke to them, then you would understand why many of us have them on the top of our list for clubs our kids have tried out for.
And actually I know for a fact they have locked in some talented players already from their pretryout camp. And they are not going to take more than 18-22 kids.


A fact? That they locked up players before the real tryout? C’mon, stop. I can see writing down pinnies and listing players that they want to see again and saying can’t to see you at tryouts. If that’s true and they would lose credibility about their transparency. They are not notIntelligent. They are choosing kids for a brand new team and they won’t make promises beforehand.

OMG, uncle. One posts says the team left. The next post says the opposite. Lol. One thing for sure. Express is still the best team.
Any word on S2S? Have they made their calls?

They were completely transparent.
Look at your first email reminding you about supplemental pretryout. It said:
"We will be selecting players from this camp for spots on the team. "

So there were certain players at that tryout that received invitations. But these were clearly the exceptional kids at that tryout.
Others they needed to see more at regular tryouts before deciding.

They have told everyone at tryouts today and it was stated in email prior to this weeks tryouts:
"We will be in touch end of the week with evaluations and invitations. "

So some people will get invitations after these tryouts.
But others may need to be seen at final tryout on Aug 18.

You cant get more transparent. Plus if you ever reach out and talk to them, they have been very open about the entire process. Communication has been amazing.
24 lost a lot. Goalie gone lost floral park and franklin square kids
What about goalies. Heard they were looking elsewhere. There was big kid at their tryouts. Was he added?

Being cut means you were on the team and they removed you. Trying out for a team and not making it is not the same as being cut.

Since when? If you tryout for a team, and you don't make it. You were cut. You didnt survive the cut. No shame, but that's what it is.
My son is a young 2024 his DOB is Oct 2006. We did not hold him back. He is a real good 2024 but has some trouble with the older maturer boys on the top AA teams.I see some of the younger 2023's trying out for the 2024's to go to WSYL. I am fine with what those boys are doing. Last year I found myself watching many of the top 2025 teams. My son would be an added addition to any of those top teams. I know mys sons club wants him to play there next tear. But are all the clubs on board with this?

You can have yourself "tiny pistol" from 91.
People just need to have a go at others, just to hide their own inadequacies.
Seems like the Geese had the same problem with you.
Well your 91s problem now.

You cant do it unless you actually hold him back a grade.
Lacrosse is grade based.

Love your innocence. Just tell the club you’re planning on holding him back and boom! You’re now a 2025
Any news on S2S ? Big turnout for tryouts ?
Talent ?

Clubs may be doing that, but its not legit by the rules. Even saying that does not make the kid held back and in the correct grade when the tournament occurs. They may do it but its illegal, and if caught kid can be pulled from the tournament.
Only a matter of time before that practice is really cracked down on.
If your a legit hokdback, that is different. But lying that you are holding back your kid when he is not held back, will eventually end up with your kid with no team.

And most of the time when people lie like that about their kid, they do it just a couple tournaments prior to the championship. Because you need 2 tournaments played on the team prior to the championship to qualify.

But again its a risk.

Everyone is better off with all the stunad parents at 91. Wait until next year with WSYL when they all turn on each other and start eating their young.
Any word on Express tryouts today? How many kids?
Wonder if he will ruin that team like he did the geese. Poor guy probably couldn’t catch a cold as a kid so he has to live vicariously through his son who is an average 11 year old athlete. Can’t just blame him tho, the other parents don’t care that junior can’t read as long as he is on the top team and goes for half price they are in!

I’m sure you’ve been to a lax tournament before. It’s not like Karate kid where you check in at the Desk and they confirm your credentials. Nobody cares or checks anything. Tournament organizers just want their money too not drama. Outside wsyl nobody checks or cares.

All of the hate comes from the fact that he didn’t take certain kids for the stacked town travel team. Some parents felt just because they coached also or there kids were on some travel A team their kid should have gotten a courtesy pass on to the team. The fact you are on here heckling him and his 11old shows he made the right move.

Do you understand they ate not talking about the dad assistant coach on Geese.

They are talking about one if the parents that left to go to 91 mid season.

So funny.

And your probably a 91 parent making that Maryland comment.
Clueless.

Can somebody share the costs of the B teams at this age. Would like a comparison.
A and B teams cost the same
I never had a connection to Lax until my son started to play. He's big for his age, but i could never understand why the other kids were so much bigger and more coordinated when he was young... until i learned about this whole Kindergarten redshirting. He plays to his "true" age... but i sit back and laugh sometimes about this ridiculousness. And, i've talked w some of the other parents from his team. Little did i know their kids had "late birthdays" as well!!!

anything for an edge, right?
Embarsssing

Express B for 2026 was 3800
Force is $2100 I believe
When they are 7 years old you should focus on developing their friendships and your friendships with other adults in the community rather than your “stacked town team”. Everyone at that age in that town are out to get each other. You have your stacked town team but none of these kids are friends. It’s very very sad.
Great job fellas! They’ll really grow from this!
2025 force was decent last year some real solid players

Not correct. Go to the web sites for the various teams.

So in other words,
YES
All this animosity against this coach stems from you and parents like you who were upset that their kid at 7 years old didnt get on a particular team.
How sad is that!
And you have hung onto this for the last 4-5 years trying to make this coach pay for it, by defaming him every chance you get.
What a sad excuse for a human being are the bunch of you.
7 year olds. And my kid did get asked to play for the elite dream team. We declined because at 7 years old it was hurtful to my sons friends and their families. You want your dream team at 7 go pay for travel. At 7, Let the kids play with their friends rather than tearing them up. Nothing to say about what this did to the kids and families since the development of the dream team right? Cause that’s okay?

Really? This happened 4-5 years ago, and kids were traumatised by this situation so much so that people were unable to move on from it.
And now have made it a point to defame this guy for setting up a competitive team on the town level, for which I am sure he was volunteering his time.
Just because you disagreed with the idea of a town competitive team.
Are you kidding me?
There is more than your town that has this debate in all sorts of sports about having different levels of teams. And there is arguments on both sides that make sense. Its hardly black and white.
But that you would let this get personal and fester for 5 years to go after a volunteer coach is absolutely crossing the line and reprehensible.
Anyone have any info about new team out east forming called epic jokers?
Heard a coach who used to be at Mamaz Boyz formed it.
Wondering if its a good option?

New teams no one has ever heard of can not be a good option. Lots of growing pains in the Travel Lax Team world. Let others experience them.
Great Coach and even better with the kids . definitely a good option

I know someone who was on 2025 Mamaz boyz. That team fell apart this year, because directors put too much pressure on parents for fundraising.

The coach of 2025 left Mamaz Boyz and is setting up own club centered around kids out east. I think he is a Varsity head coach as well at one of the eastern Long Island schools.

Probably worth going to tryouts if you live in eastern Long Island because cost is pretty low. Only $1350-.
Limitation is only Long Island tournaments. But some parents may prefer that.

Keeping it real, in my opinion, I would not say they were a B+ team last season. Tough at this age for 1st year B teams. I don’t expect IglooB and 91B to be good either in their first year. Legacy and Express were the best B teams last season. When those two played other B teams last year they won easy.

Really??
Go to Express tournament winners page and OReilly is only listed for Blatant Fall Jam. Nothing else.
So clearly Express isnt too proud of other wins.

And as I remember your other fall tournament, you were not competitive at all.

What tournaments in season did you win? Abd how did you do on others?

Lets be real, no insult to the kids, but I know OReilly kids who were completely frustrated about the level of the team and lack of committed training by the organisation.

Oreilly kids can be seen all over at tryouts looking for other teams.
It was not a positive experience for kids on that team.
This is not an insult against your kids.
Your kids got robbed.

My son was on the team and we moved on. They really won 3 though - Blatant in fall, and 2 very low-end tourneys at St Pauls in June / July. We beat the really bad teams - 24, Recon, Mamas Boyz B (2026 team) - we got killed by all of the other "competitive" programs. Half the team could play and would have developed nicely, but the other half was below PAL level. It was even playing time, regardless of the game situation. From what I understand most of the better players went elsewhere.
Express invites are out.

Legacy and Express were the best B teams last season. When those two played other B teams last year they won easy.


Express B team was not good at all. They were horrible.


My kid was on the team and they won 3 tourneys and beat all the Li B teams.


Really??
Go to Express tournament winners page and OReilly is only listed for Blatant Fall Jam. Nothing else.
So clearly Express isnt too proud of other wins.

And as I remember your other fall tournament, you were not competitive at all.

What tournaments in season did you win? Abd how did you do on others?

Lets be real, no insult to the kids, but I know OReilly kids who were completely frustrated about the level of the team and lack of committed training by the organisation.

Oreilly kids can be seen all over at tryouts looking for other teams.
It was not a positive experience for kids on that team.
This is not an insult against your kids.
Your kids got robbed.




My son was on the team and we moved on. They really won 3 though - Blatant in fall, and 2 very low-end tourneys at St Pauls in June / July. We beat the really bad teams - 24, Recon, Mamas Boyz B (2026 team) - we got killed by all of the other "competitive" programs. Half the team could play and would have developed nicely, but the other half was below PAL level. It was even playing time, regardless of the game situation. From what I understand most of the better players went elsewhere.


What are the high end B tourneys or is there even such a thingt? What were the better B teams at this age last year?
read the post on 5th grade blog. good read for 6th grade as well!

New teams no one has ever heard of can not be a good option. Lots of growing pains in the Travel Lax Team world. Let others experience them.


I know someone who was on 2025 Mamaz boyz. That team fell apart this year, because directors put too much pressure on parents for fundraising.

The coach of 2025 left Mamaz Boyz and is setting up own club centered around kids out east. I think he is a Varsity head coach as well at one of the eastern Long Island schools.

Probably worth going to tryouts if you live in eastern Long Island because cost is pretty low. Only $1350-.
Limitation is only Long Island tournaments. But some parents may prefer that.

How far out east ?



Wading River is where practices are.
I think tryouts start this weekend.and also occur next weekend


Actually tryouts for Epic Jokers is Mon and Tues this week and the following week in the evenings.
Does seem like something to tryout for with cost only $1350-

Is it defenitely 5k for 2025 Express Chan team?

3900. But when you add it all up it’s a pretty good value. I know you’ll get at least 10 tourneys, a ton of practice, all new gear to all players and no nickel and dime stuff.

Its not 5k at all.
Its $3900 for Chan's 2025 team
And $3800 for OReilly's team.

2024 teams are also $3900 and $3800 respectivelly A to B teams.
Is Geese even going to be able to field a team this year?

Why doesnt everyone stop having a go at the Geese. They are clearly having a rough time, but trying to get their team back as best they can.
If what happened to them had happened to your sons team, you wouldnt appreciate people making comments.
Have some etiquette and let them figure things out so the kids, and thats what its about, can have a good season.

It's an excellent value. 91 is $3800 plus a 3% processing fee, so it's the same price as Express. Express gets more gear, more and better tournaments and more practices with better coaching. All without 91 double dipping and sending their teams to their own crap tournaments with no competition. Express is better in every way.

Their rough time is solely created by their “owners”. Knowingly!!! Stop with the rough time garbage! They would still be one of the top threee teams in NY if they hadn’t turned it upside down last August! But they knowingly let the inmates run the asylum and that’s what you get! If your kid is there and he is above average i would look to relocate. The new name is going to be the gevils! They’ve already asked 5 of the kids from the B team to come up this year. Probably won’t even be a B team anymore . Well the B team will be the A team! Have fun with that bill. You paid for it once , make sure you don’t pay for it again! It’s like a hot stove , you won’t touch it twice!
It’s not the boys fault you are correct it’s the owners of Legacy who let this all happen in the first place . Very sad what they aloud to happen. It’s the boys i feel bad for
Why is Legacy the only club that doesn’t post any information about their directors or coaches on their website? Are they embarrassed about their credentials? Is every team coached by daddy coaches? Also If they are a top club like they say they are why dont they take part in the NLF?
Thanks for the concern but we keep laughing. Our coaches and directors told parents to take a hike after they tried to dictate the direction of the team. Did your team do the same? No they took 3 kids on mid year. They took 2 more families they knew will be completely disruptive this year and now the other kids are looking to get out. Express kids are running as well. Chan now has 3 7th graders sitting in Luhi and Kellenberg waiting to play on 2025. So thanks again for the concern but think will be fine.

Completely false! Coach and owner ALLOWED and encouraged the inmates to run the asylum. Very sad that you come on here and spew lies to anyone. Those parents 100 percent dictated the direction of the team and left after they saw that there was zero coaching, practices being cancelled at every turn. You can take credit for them leaving but the truth is every single one of them left on their own. No one told them to “take a hike”. But typical lies as usual. and if the organization was so stellar in handling this the team wouldn’t be going through “hard times”. The owner and coach ruined this team. They know it.
Need a topic change. I am noticing an interesting trend. People are opting for A teams on 2nd tier clubs vs top tier B teams. Even though the ability level is equal for both teams. Especially, noticeable this grade and down. It’s clear that the business model is changing, the top tier clubs lack of attention in their B program, will lead to clubs essentially having one team per grade, for the most part.
This is funny. When Express O'Reilly played 24 Cyclones in the fall and summer. I believe 24 won both by at least a couple goals.

What happened with Geese?


“Reilly is a nice guy and not a bad daddy coach. He is encouraging for the kids. But he doesnt seem to have an understanding of lacrosse language and what he says doesnt make sense at times. He needs to work on that. And probably could be a bit less vocal, and leave that to the head coach.”
Does the Outlaws still have a team at this level?
Outlaws have a 2025 Tryouts this Tuesday

Whats the coaching staff?
That is not true. Express O’Reilly beat 24 cyclones every time they played them.
24 cyclowns are done
CC will try anything to keep his club afloat
Next will be free tryouts. With the amount of kids showing up
It might as well be a sign up sheettmuv3v

Maybe. But not better than Chan. You can’t wish away a 10-3 loss at the last tournament of the year. It’s not a 1 goal loss. It’s not the beginning of the season. The top notch 91 coaching staff had a year to prepare your team. You’re paying the same price for an inferior product. The numbers don’t lie. You keep lying to yourself, I’ll be laughing all the way home from Denver next year.

One thing I noticed is all the 2nd teams in the younger grades were a big step below. There was a time when the 2nd teams were hard to get on. But there is so many clubs and many parents, yes parents, you decide and stear the decision, as you should. And those parents choose any clubs A team vs a 2nd team even if the ability level is a coin flip. Ultimately, one of two things will happen, all clubs will have one team per grade or the pendulum will swing back and the larger clubs will develop 2nd teams. But it’s a whole new audience and these lax newbies and how they choose to place their kids will decide how clubs create teams.

Sorry, they beat the 24 B team. They only played the 24 Cyclones once last summer and lost. I can post the tournament and score but I don't feel there is any need. Move on.

O'Reilly never had a shot with that team. Chan pulled too many kids on the top team and left him with few travel ready players.

Yes, Blaze was the B team. Buts if we are clarifying things, the Cyclones were not an A team other than in name.
Express O'Reilly didn't beat cyclones once. They lost everytime they played. Including at Mitchel Field towards the end of the summer. They may have beat 24 Blaze who didn't win one game all summer.
As per Tourney Machine - Lax Clash in June LI Express 2025 O'Reilly - 1 vs 25 Lacrosse 2025 - 6
Any word on the Viper Tryouts for this age group???

Lol...the accept/decline ratio won’t suffer because of the confusion of Blaze vs Cyclones on a blog. Too many teams is the factor.
24 Cyclowns better take a screen shot of tourney machine
Because with what is going on this year I doubt if they will win any games at all this yea. But I’m sure CC will have the older kids play down just like last year, or guest players. It’s unusual for a team to wear tryout pinkies in the last tournament of the year
Is there still going to be a 2025 Express Oreilly team this year?

So glad you are keeping the scores and checking Tourney Machine as you post this, it's amusing. But you know your kid doesn't play and you won't be laughing much like you weren't laughing at Mitchel field.

And just as a reminder, next year Denver will have the 2024 kids. And the year after when the 2025 teams play in Denver your son will have a special seat so he can watch as Channey brings down every age eligible 2024 with a 2006 birthday he can find. It won't be cheating then, but your son will still have tears to dry.

Hornets.
The 2025 B team.
Not really a challenging tournament schedule.
Most challenging one is LI Laxfest.
Even in the fall their going upstate, when reasonably there is plenty of tournaments on the island

So...what’s your point? They have haven’t really had a successful 2nd 2025 team in the past.
the first year of the ice team was the most talented, but that was the 2015/2016 season when GC was the coach, then all the kids left for A teams when the coach left. then the year after was a combo 3rd/4th grade team, then last year they had no team.

Look at the tournament list. It's all 91 tournaments. They double dip on every one of them. Doesn't matter what is good for the team or the boys, only that 91 makes money on them. That's why they've never had a successful 2nd team. Greed. You can see they havent learned from their mistakes.

Wait - it get's better - he has to be at these tournaments anyway. He's coaching a travel team without giving up a single weekend he wasn't already working. Maximize that profit. Brilliant!
Parents looking for a local introduction to travel lax will take an invite because they can go on with the rest of their lives unlike us who will be waiting to see what part of MD we will traveling to play each other

So the guy takes a B team and then he posts the tournament and winter practice schedule not hiding anything and he enters his team into appropriate tournaments for a B Team and you guys are ripping him? You can't win. Put this one down in the no good deed goes unpunished category.
Don’t kid yourself, Blast will be at all the 91 run tournaments as well. Yes, NLF is a 91 run tournament.
They should charge $2500 for this team. First year and they aren't paying any tourney entry fees. Otherwise its a total money grab.
My son has been playing on a decent 2024 team. At tryouts this year I noticed a couple of the 2023's working in. Turns out these 2 2023's have dob's that allow them to play down for the qualifier and WSYL if we qualify .However even with these 2 players I don't think we will. I am totally fine with this practice as my son also has a late dob born in Oct. 2006. .....last year I watched many of the 2025 top teams play and my son would be a top player on any of those teams. Next year when this all starts to transpire at this 2025 group, Will the top teams practice this? And how do the on grade parents feel about it?

So...what’s your point? They have haven’t really had a successful 2nd 2025 team in the past.


Look at the tournament list. It's all 91 tournaments. They double dip on every one of them. Doesn't matter what is good for the team or the boys, only that 91 makes money on them. That's why they've never had a successful 2nd team. Greed. You can see they havent learned from their mistakes.


Holy cow they are all Mylacrosse tourneys. That’s funny.


Trivia... what does the Hornets coach and the director for My lacrosse tourney have in common? I love travel lax. It’s so shameless at times in my opinion.


Wait - it get's better - he has to be at these tournaments anyway. He's coaching a travel team without giving up a single weekend he wasn't already working. Maximize that profit. Brilliant!


So the guy takes a B team and then he posts the tournament and winter practice schedule not hiding anything and he enters his team into appropriate tournaments for a B Team and you guys are ripping him? You can't win. Put this one down in the no good deed goes unpunished category.


It's not a good deed when it is completely self-serving. It is self-serving. Even a 91 fanboy like yourself has to admit that.

That 91 B team is a joke. Completed money grab! Express at least develops their B teams. 91 B teams never last and they don’t care about them. To charge that much money and be in all 91 tournaments is a joke and if you don’t see that as a sign, best of luck to you!

I agree, but honestly Express is no different. Total money grab. Chan overloads his team to make as much as he can, and Reilly is left with hardly anything to choose from. And they flounder through the season.
These big organizations dont care at all about their second and third teams.

There should only be one team per age group for any organization.
If you dont make an organizations top team, then look somewhere else. There are so many other clubs now to choose from

I will give some blame to parents as well. There are parents more and more who just pay to be on a team they couldn’t make. They pay to practice and play meaningless minutes. If I owned a club, I would say thanks! Sorry, but I’m my opinion, this is just dumb on the parents part. There is no depth chart that your son is magically climbing and one day he’ll be first line. Yeah, likely improving, but so are the starters.

That blame if a child should not have made a team, should be on the directors snd coaches selecting the kids at tryouts. They are the professionals who select the kids. Parents look to them to determine if there child has the ability to play at the teams level.
But most of these organizations just care about the money and not about the kids. They are robbing parents.

But also lets be real here. There is also nepotism in these clubs as well, and problematic dad asst coaches (im not saying all, because some are actually very good) who box good kids out. Crazily this actually occurs as well.

And kids do learn at different speeds. Some kids can adapt to the game and learn much faster, eventually outperforming the kids who were originally standouts. I have absolutely seen this happen. And in the end good coaches should be able to see a childs inate ability to learn the game as well as their current exoerience level when making their decision.

If you think its a scummy move, which I agree, why do you stay?
What example is that for your kid?
Yes
The problem is that LAX today is all "scummy" cannot get away from it.

“Reilly is a nice guy and not a bad daddy coach. He is encouraging for the kids. But he doesn't seem to have an understanding of lacrosse language and what he says doesn't make sense at times. He needs to work on that. And probably could be a bit less vocal, and leave that to the head coach.”
From your parents mouths!

Did you not read the part about how he was nice, encouraging, and "not" a bad daddy coach. The rest can easily be worked on.
Other top organizations have much bigger problems with daddy coaches, so you should stick to solving your own problems.
Can I ask a simple question. If your son is not a contributor on a team. That means the team would be same whether your son is there or not. And team has more than 9 middies, 6 attack, and 6 defense, and your son is not on those groups. Why would you ever do that? And don’t say it’s what my son wants. These decisions are driven by the parents.
WOW some people have way too much time on their hands. These comments on every topic are funny. everyone talks garbage when the are anonymous. what a joke
The 2024 kid on Chan isn’t even age eligible for WSYL next year.
Someone posted his bday already.

Get over yourself.
Those Knights kids were very good, many of them. They are not interested in money grab B teams of these big organizations.
They will be on first level teams of Rebels, R. U. S. H., Legacy, Outlaws, Turtles, etc ...

Every Team is not completely filled, most likely. .
Rebels may be. But its worth a call to make sure. They will let you know.
Legacy you should call. I doubt they dont gave openings.
Outlaws has spots for all their teams.
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 [ChillLaxin] 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

There are easily 10 plus clubs with teams in this age group. Some with more than one team. Why are you surprised? There are only so many 6th grade boys who play lacrosse on Long Island and each club is trying to get them.

From what I saw, Knights did a good job of coaching and keeping the kids challenged. What they probably did wrong is forget that parents and even kids want a Championship t-shirt every now and again. All you need is a couple to look for greener pastures and you can't field a team.

Don’t call a team looking for players. They are looking for a reason. 2nd clubs B teams are the best route at this point. Because if your son is good they will pull him up to the top team. Trust me. Imho the best choice is to go with 2nd team of an established club with a 2nd team that has been around. Express, Outlaws, Legacy, S2S and maybe Igloo, first year for them, though. Good luck. Email the directors and see who responds. All info available on clubs website.

Your completely wrong.
2nd teams in those established clubs are generally epic fails.
All the talent went to the first string teams.
Your just throwing your money away.

Your best bet is to call or email the others clubs like Rebels, Legacy, Outlaws, Turtles. They will let you know. Plus many could have a full roster of 20, but have flexibility to take one more if they feel the kid is good.

You want to play with other kids who are good. Not just the kids at the bottom of the list at tryouts.

Legacy is going to be a disaster. My son went to one tryout and saw the level drop and we decided it wasn’t a good spot for our son who was on 91. Went to two different organizations tryouts and it was much better skill wise. Many of the legacy 2025 kids on geese were on their devils team. If your son is skilled stay away. If this is not their last season before they fold or don’t become the knights I would be surprised .
No wrong or right. Just call around and do your research. I can tell you that any A team, looking for players at this point, is not an A team.

Ask about the coach
Ask about the roster
Ask how the team did last year and why are they looking after tryouts
Ask how many moves up to the A team (if applicable)
Ask everything, dont pick the first team that says they need players

Plenty of spots open, good luck
Empire has great coaching in my opinion and should be a strong consideration. No drama and a really competitive team

I am sure those kids can find spots at Express, renegades, or 91. They are the only clubs with decent 2nd teams.

Your completely wrong.
2nd teams in those established clubs are generally epic fails.
All the talent went to the first string teams.
Your just throwing your money away.

Your best bet is to call or email the others clubs like Rebels, Legacy, Outlaws, Turtles. They will let you know. Plus many could have a full roster of 20, but have flexibility to take one more if they feel the kid is good.

You want to play with other kids who are good. Not just the kids at the bottom of the list at tryouts. [/quote]

You were from 91 and went to one tryout at Legacy?
I think not!

Only one kid from 91 went to tryouts at Legacy and he went to both tryouts, not one.
And his parents would not post on this blog anything negative about Legacy.
They even have good friends with a son on that team.
Plus they have only respect for Chris Fiore.

Its pretty disgusting someone needs to impersonate someone else, in order to try and defame another team.
Igloo announced supplemental tryouts for 2025. I am guessing it’s the newly formed B team. Don’t know how confident I would feel about the team.
Is Legacy having supplemental tryouts for their B team Geese?

Tbere are several conversations here, so He doesnt know. Because there are several Hes.
So what your saying makes no sense whatever.
Without negativity or that team is a disaster rhetoric. What are the teams that anybody is aware of looking for players and provide feedback. There is more teams this year and some teams are folding and some are searching.

Igloo is holding a supplementary tryout so that is one.

I think you need to remember that even though a team has their roster, doesnt mean they would not take 1-2 more if your kid was talented.
Abd if your kids a goalie, all teams will take a look at him. Most teams dont have 2 goalies but wouldl like too.

You can always call teams like Rebels, Turtles, Epic Jokers, Legacy, and there are others to see if you can arrange a private tryout.

I know the Express is looking for a few as well. They completely revamped the roster. O’Reilly is a fantastic coach and trainer.

You should defenitely call and arrange for them to see him.
Good coaches will always be looking to see the potential in a player as well as his current skill level.
There really is a [ChillLaxin] line between players who fit into both the A team if an organisation and the B team.

There wasn’t a lot. No 91 or Igloo, they are 1st year teams this year.

S2S
Express
Blue Devils
24
Ducks
Mamas boyz

Blue devils beat everyone on that list
Express beat everyone but the blue devils
S2S was same ability as express
Ducks same
And 24 and Mamas rounded things out

Then there was A teams with B team talent that were all below ranked below the Express and Blue Devils. But there was a big gap between the Blue Devils and all the other B teams.

Hitmen
Outlaws
Icon
Recon

Beware... people will come on here and say that team stinks or that team was a disaster, etc. but that’s the lay of B team land last year. I think we are heading towards a one team per club model.

Revamped the roster LOL Most of the kids left because while O'Reilly is a great coach he was not present at all but 1 tournament. He sent his sons to coach. Even at practices when he was there he was coaching 2 team at the same time and on the phone or texting. Express is nothing but a money grab sad to say. The training they offer is ALL extra. The practices they offer don't seem to be much in the way of teaching, just going through the motions.

Your just an butthole trying to clutter the board with your negative crap about the Geese being a B team. Just cowardly subversive behavior. Much like you pretending you were at a tryout.
Seems more like you are scared of what Geese could be this year. Thats the only explanation for your behavior. Confidant people dont feel a need to make derogatory comments. They would just let the season play out.
Really sad.
ducks rage were ok, empire is good, and 24 east was decent

Why does the same person keep posting about the Geese? You clearly are trying to stir the pot. The Geese have enough players. And I am sure they will continue to be competitive in the A division. Sounds like an ex-Geese parent just trying to start trouble.

Majority of kids from Mamaz Boyz are now with Epic Jokers. Coach left Mamaz Boyz and formed Epic Jokers.
91 sent out email that they have open spots.
Doesnt look like people bought into the 91 money grab where they setup 2-3 teams per age group.
Looks like Freeze is going through the same thing Ice did.
Freeze players should run now, find another team and salvage their season.

When he actually coaches, was NOT at most of the tournaments. Don't care how good of a coach you are can't coach if you're not on the sidelines.

News flash:
Great coaches have a price too. Otherwise they wouldnt be sacrificing ethics and values to carry on with the money grab sham.
And its not just Express.
Its 91 also.

FYI was for 91 Tristate


FYI
Both 91 Tristate and 91 Long Island have open spots.
Both sent emails today.
91 Tristate set up specufic date.
91 Long Island says to call them and they will have personal tryout at their Commack facility.

If your on Freeze run now.
Well the Express won a tourney without their coach, entered an A bracket at tristar and if the team had Danowski on the sideline it wouldn’t have helped, and finished on top of the bracket in the last tourney. So he must have done something. But I respect your view of things, but I enjoyed it and I am back with the team. And I am excited about the new additions and wish your son the best of luck.

They won a low level class C tournament, vs. 2025/2026 bracket and BARELY won at that. Had to beat a very weak RECON team in overtime. My nephew was on that team, I wouldn't have either of my sons or my daughter play for a team that the coach had their not show up at tournaments.
Never understood why people say money grab. All these teams give kids an opportunity to play the game and learn. Who cares where they go as long as they like it and are having fun. I just don’t get some of the comments on this board.

That was the last tourney no bracket, Einstein . They won the other one vs 2025 teams vs Hitmen, Recon, Mamas 2025 team. To be accurate

4k a year is a money grab.
If you put 30 kids on team and charge 4k a year thats a money grab.
If you charge 4k a year, and dont play a lot of your kids thats a money grab and robbery.
If you charge 3k-4k a year and dont hire paid coaches except 1, using dad coaches. Thats a money grab.
If you charge 3k-4k a year and put teans in tournaments that you make money from. Thats a money grab
If you start adding additional teams in each age group, so you can get every kid at your tryout to sign up with you and pay you tuition, essentially just making teams of the weakest players who cant compete. Thats a money grab.

Thank you !!
In my opinion it’s only a “money grab” when clubs choose to field teams by any means possible like mixing grades or adding kids that wouldn’t make the team. Or the opposite... just stuff rosters to get the extra tuition.

If you charge 3k-4k a year and dont hire paid coaches except 1, using dad coaches. Thats a money grab.
If you charge 3k-4k a year and put teans in tournaments that you make money from. Thats a money grab
If you start adding additional teams in each age group, so you can get every kid at your tryout to sign up with you and pay you tuition, essentially just making teams of the weakest players who cant compete. Thats a money grab.


Money grabs will continue to happen.......as long as parents continue to pay!!


Igloo must be desperate...they have adverts everywhere for 2025 teams

Nope. Actually 91.
So how is that 91, Igloo, Leagcy, and Express are all having issues with rosters for the B teams? Too many teams, parents don’t like the B team label, B teams cost the same but don’t equal treatment....

Nope. 91 is the new Farmingdale PAL team.
And their fielding 2 teams
But their hurting for players to actually field the 2nd one.
But dont worry. They will just merge with a younger age group.
This way they can keep the money.
Most teams are looking for another mid or 2. Maybe an attackman if he stands out and back up goalie . Still a lot of movement to be had. Express still over promising. Coaches pulling up kids from Oreilly that paid for the extra training.91 took on headaches. Legacy and Igloo will end up fine.Two teams where coaches are straight shooters and they are not run by the parent majority. Either way hope they all the teams end up well. Competive age group and despite some of us here the kids are respectful and enjoy playing with and against each other Best of luck. Don’t be that DB on the sideline posting here after every game . Do your job and be a supportive parent instead of a sideline coach. Teach your kid the value of a commitment . Go watch the older kids when the scouts are on the sidelines. Notice how quiet the parents . It’s not all about the play in the field. Coaches want good families.

Accurate except biased to Legacy and Igloo.
You clearly have a son on one of those teams.
Reality is both Legacy and Igloo have real issues just like the others. Lets not pretend.
Igloo has out of control coaches screaming on sidelines. And who can barely hold in their curses. (My son witnessed this behavior).
And Legacy got into problems last year because they let parents run the show. And they are not investing into additional coaches like other teams, so they will have a rough road.

Truth is there are better options outside these big organizations and your kids will have a much better playing experience.

And I agree all organizations are still looking if your kid has talent. They always have an opening.
Farmingdale PAL at the 2025 is a complete JOKE. Coaches are horrible. Ran off all of their best players.

I totally understand your point, but I blame the parents for paying into this nonsense. Some are foolishly handing over their hard earned cash going into a situation that isn't in their kids best interest. This practice will continue until parents refuse to pay, and go else were. I did it with my son who saw the field often. I refuse to allow some of these coaches to force some of us to believe their team/club is the "All and end All."
Please do not believe the posts regarding Igloo coaches on this site. If you have questions regarding organizations, do what I did, ask around and go see them for yourself. This board is for nothing more than a place for lonely people to go and post ignorance.

100% true. The amount of egotism and hubris with some of these coaches and clubs is completely unbelievable. We pay them. We are the paying customer. I don't understand how parents forget this. There is life outside whatever club and team your kid is on. I promise. The only reason these plagues on humanity have power over our children and families is that we let them. The landscape is changing. There are more clubs and more competition. Screw these guys.

Its true about the tirades by the Igloo coaches. My son was really shocked by it. And my husband could hear them from the opposite sideline as well.
I do feel the team improved last season. But they seriously need to address the way the coaches act.
Coaches for Igloo 2025 are DADDY coaches.
agreed the more teams the better... welcoming new startup teams. The problem of course, is now tryouts will prob start in the end of June so each of the teams can jockey for players.

OK Igloo dad coach. Truth is, Igloo had one good run and now that they've moved up and on you are having real trouble finding success like Elite teams do. Some of your teams are nothing more than extensions of their towns PAL, and yes that's why we left. I would not have been bitter except for the fact that the "coaches" (dads) that I spoke to in confidence felt the need to bash our family upon leaving. Sad...

They won a low level class C tournament, vs. 2025/2026 bracket and BARELY won at that. Had to beat a very weak RECON team in overtime. My nephew was on that team, I wouldn't have either of my sons or my daughter play for a team that the coach had their not show up at tournaments.


That was the last tourney no bracket, Einstein . They won the other one vs 2025 teams vs Hitmen, Recon, Mamas 2025 team. To be accurate


Firstly Mamaz boyz B team, they got SMOKED by the A team BAD... Hitmen and RECON are very light competition. Where a team that boasts to be such a great program they fall VERY short in delivering. Their "wins" were against lower level B teams that at $4k a season should of beat easy if they actually got all that Express promises.

R$sh is holding supplemental tryouts, so that is another.


Outlaws still has another tryout, so thats another.


I know the Express is looking for a few as well. They completely revamped the roster. O’Reilly is a fantastic coach and trainer.


Revamped the roster LOL Most of the kids left because while O'Reilly is a great coach he was not present at all but 1 tournament. He sent his sons to coach. Even at practices when he was there he was coaching 2 team at the same time and on the phone or texting. Express is nothing but a money grab sad to say. The training they offer is ALL extra. The practices they offer don't seem to be much in the way of teaching, just going through the motions.


Express package for the B team is the best in my opinion. Two varsity coaches, 10 tournaments, all new gear for everyone, not just 1st year. They are giving a helmet, gloves, bag, jacket, uniform, winter training as part of the package. Did the team deserve criticism from last year, yeah. I myself had doubts about returning, but asked the questions and at least they made the effort to fix things.

Your paying $3800- for that. And thats for a team that has been losing, abd has no chance of grabbing any really good players because they are all on channys team.

You should just go outside Express. And outside these big organizations. Many of the other clubs with one team per age have recruited some really good players. Plus you pay much less.
You could have tried out for Rebels and paid $2600. For that got 3 coaches minimum, had a lower roster, got a much better gear package, got winter training, training evaluations, winter training, an option to add box, and 8 tournaments.
So for 2 tournaments and less gear you are paying $1200 more. And you know how bad it was last year.
It makes no sense.
The grass is never greener, unless your son can make a real A team. Not an A team for a club that plays in B brackets. Going from B team to B team is a waste and makes no sense, the Express satisfied my concerns from last year and the team will be fine, if not, I was wrong and oh well. Good luck.
People often forget to factor in the amount of away tournaments in the cost of a program. Outlaws now Rebels always travel a lot and as we all know going away can add an additional $500-$700 per tournament. Not saying express doesn’t travel, just making a point that you have to factor in travel costs for any program you choose.
How many returning starters will Geese have?
So who are the 2nd teams at clubs this year.

Definitely:

Express
Igloo
91
Old Ducks

Maybe, meaning not sure

S2S
Legacy
24

Ummm, OReillys team is not an A team. Its a team that loses in B tournaments. Closer to C.
But hey, if your happy with it, have fun.

Nobody said it was. The point was why leave a B team for another B team. It's worth leaving to go to an A team. In other words, the players that left Express Oreilly for Igloo B and 91B will find that the grass is not greener, in my opinion. But time will tell.
Did the knights merge some teams with Outlaws?

I agree with that if you are just going to the 2nd team of an organisation. There is no point in doing that.
But what you should do is look at the clubs that have one team in your age group.
Those will get some competitive players because they are pivking the best from theur tryouts. So you have a better possibility of that team being an A team. Just make sure the club you choose is investing in the training for the kids. Not just one coach and some dad that help out.
And there are so many teams to look at. Dont get suckered.
they smoked the 25-26 team not the 25 mamas team

How could anyone justify paying $3800 for a repeat of last year, with some new gear? The team was terrible and now better players have left. Anyone who's kid could make another team, should run fast. Unless your kid can't, then stick with PAL.

Rumor is that they player swapped to backfill some age groups. Add all the supplemental tryouts going on and you will see some disparity in the level of play this year

Geese shed all the headaches. The ones on here posting garbage are texting the coach in between trying to get back in and blaming the other mixed nuts. And if you were lucky enough to get a few of the prizes it was only because they scholarshipped them after the others said no.

What are you talking about??
I dont doubt the ones on here bashing Legacy are the ones who left mid year last season. Which is shameful that they abandoned their team midseason and 91 should be ashamed for taking them mid season.
However, there are clearly issues at legacy that led to this . So you cant blame any players who left after the season was over. Thats on Legacy.

And I doubt highly that 91 is giving scholarships to these kids. For 91 this is a business and about making money. None of these kids are irreplaceable.

Plus kids left and went to other teams as well.

So stop pretending only 1 attack left and original defense is all there.
I truly hope Legacy rebuilds itself. But it wont happen by ignoring the obvious. And it wont happen if the money paid by parents is not used to adequately staff these teams.

Again, entire attack..:.gone, two starting defensemen.....gone, three starting middies....gone, starting fogo......gone. Plus a handful of other that are somewhere making other teams solid. Funny how it takes an organization to completely lose an entire team to realize cancers existed. You make excuses time and time again and spread lies when everyone knows the truth. The promise of green was way more important than winning and when you take the most talented kids and a daddy that thinks he played in the mll but is nothing but a high school soccer player they lose. They lose and lose and lose. Because no one believed in each other and everyone was looking over their shoulders. There’s one ball! As soon as you have a coach that teaches there’s one ball and everyone has to touch it, you may start winning again.

Let me clarify my prior statement. The parents who left the Geese mid season were defenitely a major part of the problem. They were loud, overbearing parents who wanted constant playing time for their kids at the expense of others, and tried to control the team. The mistake of Legacy initially was placating to these parents. They should have been firm with them from the beginning. And a major mistake was losing their original assistant coach. It was that coaches combination with Fiore that really brought the kids on the team to such a high level of playing prior.

But after those mistakes had been made, and when the toxic patents were gone, Legacy defenitely should have been hiring more coaches to help Fiore. They need to put money back into the team. It needs a head coach, defensive coach, and asst coach at a minimum. Thats what other teams are doing. And they must be qualified coaches. And I agree Legacy should have coach bios on website.

That would be a funny read !
So the end result is 91 probably better, Express is definitely better and then there is the rest. Probably Igloo, TB and if the old Ducks stuck together are the rest. Rebels are mish mash of knights, geese, etc.

Outlaws, Legacy and now ducks. Money and lies is what breaks these programs up. Keep the $ out of it and coach our kids. Give us a solid honest program! Good coaches, training off season and tournaments to play. I dont care at this point if we leave LI. W have played plenty of LI teams in NJ and Mass.
Travel lax is getting out of hand.


I agree. Travel lax would make a highly rated reality TV show. Some clubs go way over board with their pricing and parents pay whatever and do what ever some of these coaches ask them to do. it's embarrassing watching some parents following behind some coaches like lap dogs during tournaments and even worst seeing their wives doing it along with them. Let the kid make his own way, if he's good he will play.
Stop paying these high travel lacrosse prices....

Outlaws, Legacy and now ducks. Money and lies is what breaks these programs up. Keep the $ out of it and coach our kids. Give us a solid honest program!

That prior quote actually should read r$sh. It keeps changing to rebels.
I tried to correct. Hopefully it worked.

What are you talking about??
I dont doubt the ones on here bashing Legacy are the ones who left mid year last season. Which is shameful that they abandoned their team midseason and 91 should be ashamed for taking them mid season.
However, there are clearly issues at legacy that led to this . So you cant blame any players who left after the season was over. Thats on Legacy.

And I doubt highly that 91 is giving scholarships to these kids. For 91 this is a business and about making money. None of these kids are irreplaceable.

Plus kids left and went to other teams as well.

So stop pretending only 1 attack left and original defense is all there.
I truly hope Legacy rebuilds itself. But it wont happen by ignoring the obvious. And it wont happen if the money paid by parents is not used to adequately staff these teams.


Again, entire attack..:.gone, two starting defensemen.....gone, three starting middies....gone, starting fogo......gone. Plus a handful of other that are somewhere making other teams solid. Funny how it takes an organization to completely lose an entire team to realize cancers existed. You make excuses time and time again and spread lies when everyone knows the truth. The promise of green was way more important than winning and when you take the most talented kids and a daddy that thinks he played in the mll but is nothing but a high school soccer player they lose. They lose and lose and lose. Because no one believed in each other and everyone was looking over their shoulders. There’s one ball! As soon as you have a coach that teaches there’s one ball and everyone has to touch it, you may start winning again.


Let me clarify my prior statement. The parents who left the Geese mid season were defenitely a major part of the problem. They were loud, overbearing parents who wanted constant playing time for their kids at the expense of others, and tried to control the team. The mistake of Legacy initially was placating to these parents. They should have been firm with them from the beginning. And a major mistake was losing their original assistant coach. It was that coaches combination with Fiore that really brought the kids on the team to such a high level of playing prior.

But after those mistakes had been made, and when the toxic patents were gone, Legacy defenitely should have been hiring more coaches to help Fiore. They need to put money back into the team. It needs a head coach, defensive coach, and asst coach at a minimum. Thats what other teams are doing. And they must be qualified coaches. And I agree Legacy should have coach bios on website.


Voice of reason.....finally. Someone who knows exactly the truth right there. That coach and fiore were off charts together. Those kids performed for both of them. Not because of their resume but because the kids believed in them and each other. Take that away and you got what got. Fiore didn’t want to coach without him. Instead he was forced to coach with someone different every week. They had something that worked. stinks that they only saw green cause that guy high tailed it outta here,

She and 5 others high tailed it out of there at the end of the season. I saw them at turtles and Rebels tryouts. I stayed with turtles but I heard she chose Rebels.

You have no idea what assistant coach that person is referring to. The guy that left mid season saw that things weren’t going as he planned so he left for his kid to play 2024. The assistant they are talking about is the guy they got rid of for that hammerhead box and why the team is a mess. That guy took all four of his kids out of the organization. It’s a shame. They won everything, every tournament , everything and they chose to placate parents and a bald man with money who is now at express. Loyalty at its best.



But didn’t the new coach play at Maryland?

Proper grammar, like good manners, doesn't leave a person because they're on a "blog." Clearly, you've avoided picking up either.
Says the annonymous poster. Very easy to talk about someone when you're behind a keyboard. The Geese, which everyone is so concerned about will be practicing tomorrow night. So if you want to come talk to the coaches or come see how many kids actually didnt leave then feel free. No need to tell you where they practice as Im sure you already know.

Best part of all of this, the kid that will take your kids scholarships, probably hasnt even started playing the game yet!

But hey, as long as you have that Championship Hat or T-shirt from 6th grade then I guess it was all worth it.

Good luck this year!
So sad. The fun is completely gone. And it’s all because it’s a win first and money culture and that’s root of all these posts. Nobody is creating any memories, just grief. For example, people are actually blind enough to place their son on 30+ man rosters and think it’s a good thing. You are creating memories of watching other kids play. And if you think you’re right, you’re 1000% wrong. And if you choose practice over play time, you are making a huge mistake and ruining your son’s confidence. You don’t see it now, but you are. Because no matter how hard he works and improves, there is no reward. Nice life lesson. All you get is the coach telling you that “hey is getting good” and a few bonus minutes to keep you on the hook.

For those of you on these B and C organization teams of the big organisations, you should seriously be looking at bailing out soon and looking somewhere else. They are looking like they will be a complete bust.

You are better off contacting the teams like Rebels, Outlaws, R$sh, Turtles, etc... that may have a few spots left and have them evaluate your kid to see if you are offered a spot.
You never know. Maybe one of them is able to work out something on tuition to offset the initial deposit if you made one.

Outlaws? Did you see that team last year? And the other 3 didn’t exist.
All the B teams are looking for players. The costs have risen and the quality has fallen and there so many clubs.
Legacy falling by apart. Not enough kids for two teams. Leaves bunch of blue devil committed kids scrambling.
91 didn't have enough for 2 teams for a few years - they didn't fall apart.
Good point. I’m sure they will rebound. I think the guy is trying to say that’s it’s a bit late in the game for kids and parents to be scrambling for new teams.

The kids dont need to scramble that much. If they are decent B player they will find a B team to join.
Team 91 and Express and Rage are still scrambling to have enough players for their second team. They can contact them to be evaluated. Plus plenty of B teams still looking for players.

So they are down to one team as well? I guess with the Turtles, Rebels, Ducks break up, east coast e, jokers, 24 East, 91 B and IglooB. We have too many teams and not enough players at this age. That means of a lot frustrated parents when you see the talent disparity on these teams.

The way it looks this year at A level teams

A++ 91 and Express alone at top

A Igloo, S2S , maybe Rebels, Geese or Turtles

Every other program is B at best no matter what they call themselves.

If you thought the B teams were bad last year, you ain't seen nothing yet. The teams that added "new" B teams were barely able to fill their roster spots. It will be glorified PAL. Save you money and train, practice, do something on your own to get better. Paying 3000 dollars to play tournaments with kids who can't throw and catch is not making you a better player. Forget the at least their playing cliche.

Express will probably be there. They have been there in the past and no team on LI will give them any competition. The Li tourneys they play in are to give the practice players game time.
Force and true blue had nice teams. Wouldn’t call them B teams. Def had some quality players.

Since Force, True Blue and Igloo are all mostly Huntington kids maybe they can combine and make one real A team. The point has already been made. Too many teams diluted the talent pool. That is why Express and 91 dominate the field. They don't fill their rosters with town kids connected to coaches.

Not an Express dad and don't live in LI but based on what you people post Express and 91 need to leave LI to play teams at their level.
Battle of the bay is Oct 27th
Same day express running tourney
Doubt they are traveling to MD
FYI- my son is on the 2025 Millon Force B team and they are looking for (2) Middies and one more Goalie. Also heard they're A team is looking for one more Middie.

1. Express
2. 91
3. Igloo
4. Legacy
5. True Blue
6. Force
7. S2s
The rest are B
Express and 91 clearly better than the rest. The others (3-7) will battle it out and are pretty comparable.
Will be interesting with all the player movement and new teams.

You can't put 91 in the same sentence as Express. Even with upgrades that they probably got at tryouts, they don't compare. 91 has talent but the team is sloppy and inconsistent. Express is a well-oiled machine. They are not in the same category.

Please. A well oiled overloaded machine that churns through players using them until they find the next best player. Then letting the rest stay on the team for practice but little to no game time.
The players playing in tournaments now wont be the ones playing in 4-5 years when colleges are looking to recruit. Your lucky if the same kids are playing by the end of this season. Chan recruits kids year round.

Not to say 91 is any better. They are adopting the same philosophy.

That’s what I understand as well. There is no B team. It folded! Well done legacy, well done!
Legacy has 19 kids. 16 that were brought back from last year. Almost everyone of them were chased to tryout by other teams. None of them left. 3 more were added. They are still looking for one or 2 more good families.

Typical legacy lies!!! I can not believe people are paying you for this garbage. Entire attack and 3 midfield gone! How is it that you have 16 returning? Lmao. Such lies. But it is comical so keep it coming! GEEVILS!
The mixed nuts never believe any team could survive without them.91 can the enjoy the extra sideline coaches and internet GMs.Few more weeks you will be back to complaining about your own team playing in War Games or the HC is playing his nephew over them.

False. The starters barley come off the field no matter who they are playing.

How is it possible that 16 are returning? 5 to 91, 2 to express, 2 to turtles, 3 to rebels. Do the math. Unless you had almost 30 kids you’re lying and we played you and you had 5 subs. Soooooooo

How do you know so much about a team that you are not on?!? How do you possibly know the location of 12 kids on different teams, do you stalk all there practices?? Did you go to every try out?? Does your kid even play??

Lets be real here.
Clearly that is someone who knows because their kid was part of Geese, and players have kept in touch with kids and their parents who were part of the original Geese team. So they know.

There really is no point in pretending that many of the Geese original kids did not leave. I really do hope the Geese can reform themselves, but it wont happen by pretending they were not impacted by last years exit of players mid year and during tryouts.

Hopefully this year the organisation is really investing in their team and trying to prevent the mistakes they made last year,
Like:
- allowing over bearing parents control the decisions on their team
- letting go of a great coach who was an integral part of their success for years
- not investing in multiple level coaching like other top teams
Again I wish you the absolute best and hope its a great year, but it only will be if the team admits what occurred and addresses the problems from last year.

As for the rest of the haters who just want you to fail and insult everyone on the team, they are not worth your time. Dont bother responding to them.
Good luck. Really.

How is it possible that 16 are returning? 5 to 91, 2 to express, 2 to turtles, 3 to rebels. Do the math. Unless you had almost 30 kids you’re lying and we played you and you had 5 subs. Soooooooo




How do you know so much about a team that you are not on?!? How do you possibly know the location of 12 kids on different teams, do you stalk all there practices?? Did you go to every try out?? Does your kid even play??



Lets be real here.
Clearly that is someone who knows because their kid was part of Geese, and players have kept in touch with kids and their parents who were part of the original Geese team. So they know.

There really is no point in pretending that many of the Geese original kids did not leave. I really do hope the Geese can reform themselves, but it wont happen by pretending they were not impacted by last years exit of players mid year and during tryouts.

Hopefully this year the organisation is really investing in their team and trying to prevent the mistakes they made last year,
Like:
- allowing over bearing parents control the decisions on their team
- letting go of a great coach who was an integral part of their success for years
- not investing in multiple level coaching like other top teams

How do I sign up as one of the non paying, not on age, guest player that will take playing time away from the paying players? You know, the same model you are running for 2024.
Just stay away from Twenty4. Not a good program. You could be wearing a Twenty4 shirt and the director will walk right past you and not say a word to you #clueless. Practices are 1 hour playdates with no structure, games are a mishmosh of who ever shows up that day and some of the parents are outright stunads. This is a scam of a program. Go to somewhere that is established. 9d1, Express, Igloo, True Blue, S2S, Or any other organization that you can talk to someone about what it entails. At best low C team at 2025 age.

Lol. I know plenty who walked from the 91 B team offer. That will be a weak team at best.
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 !!

They took anyone who was wiling to pay. Who would pay 91 prices for that coach?

It’s not a secret. We walk know the costs and have signed up. If you’re such a troll and you want to know why your club failed trust me it’s not about price.

They are no longer a secret. The tuition prices for all the teams came out a long time ago after tryouts. Go back and read through the blog and you will find tge discussions.
Who cares about the costs, it’s not lowering. It’s like car shopping. You can spend 20k on a car or 75k. You can spend 2k or close to 4K for club, you have endless choice on Long Island. I would rather debate what you get for your money.
My son has played the past two seasons with 24 Cyclones. Absolutely loved the team and the coach, had some great practices when the kids showed up(too many kids playing multiple spring/summer sports). Although we chose to leave this year due to the director of the program. The coach told me that he plans on taking over his teams operations but couldn't stay with them because CC already rubbed us the wrong way.

We know why 91 hasn't failed. Every B team they have is entered into only their own tournaments. Doesn't matter how bad the tournament is. Double dipping for extra dollars!

Love the statement "when they showed up." Its not because of other spring/summer sports that they didnt show up. They didnt show up because they arent actually paying players on the team. Theyre all on other teams and when they show up its because they dont have a game with their primary team or just got invited. The 2024 team brings in 2023 players as guest players on top of all the other shadiness.
We received incorrect sizes on some equipment and some items later then the rest of the players. Secondly to stick up to not make the coach look bad, one defenseman played a handful of games who was young
You know what the problem is on this forum as it is the same problem on every other forum. Nobody care about your opinion and everyone should mind their own business. This forum is here to be informative and let people know about tryouts and other useful lacrosse stuff. Instead all you people do is spew anonymously about each other clubs or kids or coaches Who cares what anyone pays or where anyone plays! As long as the child is happy, that’s all that matters. Worry about your own child and your own family and don’t worry about anyone else.

Fact: 24 brings non paying guest players that are in the grade above what they are playing as a regular practice.

Opinion: This team is not for me and their coaches are rude.

Someone at 2 4 isn't happy that people are letting the world know what is happening in their club. I come to this site to read exactly what you are complaining about. The dirt on clubs. Because every club has it and it is good to know what you're getting yourself into when you sign your kids up.

BOTC is very important and so is its anonymity. Otherwise, the lying clubs could tell parents anything they want. Free press baby!

To that point. Why wouldn’t your son play for 2 four?
Whatever you answer is the value of the board. Where else can I get insight in to a club? If I ask the club theyre surely not going to explain how they will take my money but my son will not play as much as the kid who didn’t pay or practice and is a full year older.
What I do with your opinion is on me. In the case of 20+5-1 I’ve def seen and heard enough to know Outlaws or Fl$ Are better choices.

FL$ has a huge lawsuit going on. Probably not a good option right now. There is an entire thread dedicated to that. You may want to read that before considering them.

Thanks. Did know that from this site....even with the lawsuits they're probably still better and more honest than 2x12.

Actually the A and B teams practice together and after our practice ended the A team scrimmaged Roar, I was wondering how well they competed.
Express won scrimmage easily. Wasn't very competitive.

Cold Spring Harbor. Playing Express was a tall order. I wonder if any players on that team even play club. The success that CSH HS has had the last few years is all club players.

Yes, Very tall order. No sense in scrimmaging against them. Nobody learns in a blowout.

CSH success at the HS level is a direct result of the community all agreeing. The best thing for the continued success of the HS program is to have most of the players together as a group at a young age. It's worked for other communities for years until overzealous athletic advisory boards made up of self serving me first parents get involved. The best teams at the HS level had strong youth programs, although that model is starting to show some cracks.

Hard to debate it is best for the team. But the difference makers at HS level, in all towns, play club at a high level. And that helps them individually and helps the HS team he is on. There is room to do both. It just gets annoying when theses town coaches say choose. And club coaches are equally guilt when they get mad when a kid chooses town. Doesn’t take a lot to coordinate and let the best town players compete on a high level. Better than a B bracket at a travel tourney.

Garden City is the team we always see at tournaments. IS GC34 any good at a club level and does it translate to HS? Do all kids in the town stay and play for GC or do they move and play for the top clubs?

You find out in a week at the Columbus Day tourney. Give it a rest, because I don’t think there is a LI team that can match the talent the Express has.

Did anyone say otherwise? You are probably right. How many kids on this years roster? Chan has the market cornered. And more will probably show up between now and the spring.

Based on TR referance, its the 3 Geese who left togo to 91 last year. Not so sure everything is so copacetic for any of them over there. Thus the infatuation with their old team.

The practices are very good. We had over 50 kids between the two teams on Saturday and there was no standing around.

Should be interesting to see how Legacy pads their schedule without seeing teams like the Ducks and Chan.

6 new kids joined the Geese. All the others returned. Anyone who says differently either (a) doesn’t know what they’re talking about or (b) has an unhealthy obsession with their former team, and also doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Not sure what impact the 6 new kids replacing the old will have. Anyone who says different, well: see (a) and (b) above.

Will anyone even score on Express?


Yes. Once the starters build the lead... The bench will empty.

Only if they play themselves...


Where is 91 hiding? Still licking their wounds from the last Express beat down?

My guess is they would play up except the bottom 10 have to get playing time in the blow outs.
Havoc schedule out for this age group. Hopefully they break that up to A and B divisions. Otherwise a waste of time some of those matchups. Especially for 91.

They must be sharing the hideout with Igloo and S2S
My son is having fun practicing, and also playing soccer and flag football with his friends.
Have fun with your fall tourneys losers. We'll see you clowns in the spring when it matters.
Why not just scrimmage yourself since you are so good, and you have 35 on your roster.

Flag football? who is the clown? He's 11 - you can take the training wheels of his bicycle and peel off his bubble wrap. Flag football.

Not OP but haven't you gotten the memo? REAL football is literally the worst thing you can do with your kid. You sound like an uneducated meat head. Clock out and read something besides jug head.

Soccer and flag football??? And mani-pedis every Saturday at noon?
“...scientists found that playing tackle football before the age of 12 increased the odds of problems with behavioral regulation, apathy and executive functioning later in life by twofold, and the odds of suffering symptoms of depression threefold.”

“Experiencing head trauma at early ages could lead to problems later because young brains are particularly vulnerable. Between the ages of 10-12, says Dr. Robert Cantu, a professor of neurology at BU and a leading expert on head trauma, the brain is maximizing its connectivity and fine-tuning its structural development. Intelligence, mood tendencies, and impulse control are starting to take shape. Repeated hits to the head can only disrupt the cognitive growth process. “They can keep your brain from reaching its genetically-endowed potential,” says Cantu.”

Hopefully your union dues get your family access to a good neurologist. (Google that if you don't know what that is). You're probably off to work now. Have a nice day!
Forget the scientists and the studies on football, they need to study the insignificant brains that the parents possess for mocking kids that play either flag football or soccer. Enough with the BS of my kid is tougher than yours because chances are that the parents doing the mocking have the kids on the bench wishing they were the starters that also play soccer and/or flag football. SAD PARENTS ARE RUINING SPORTS AS WE KNOW IT. If your child was a cyber bully s#*t would hit the fan, so maybe it’s time parents realize cyber bullying other parents is just as bad if not worse. #enoughisenough.

Well said. That was as ignorant a statement I have ever seen on this site. And that is saying something.

And nothing like running up the score against 11 year old kids.. I guess they’re working on their Power Ranking?
I wonder if any of the 25 kids on the bench played ?

I disagree. Standing around passing the ball is as bad. Either end the game at 10 or 15 goals or just play. Leaving the starters in like some coaches do, is running it up and not cool. But if 2nd and 3rd liners are in there, no issue.
Who are the Geese ?
Everybody got in. That's what you get when you play against B teams.
Express played great and you could easily see they have played together for years. A lot of good teams out there today Geese, Force, Mohawks and rebels. Use this preseason tournament as a baseline. Let’s see what the teams look like at the end. Props to Force for filling in at last minute. For the rest of the teams not ready to be seen you can save your comments in the pockets of your bathing suits

I honestly don’t understand mixing A teams with B teams in tourneys. My Lacrosse Tourneys is doing it this weekend at this age. Can’t they at least set try to set up balanced competition when you have the numbers. Don’t they understand the better experience every player, team and family has, helps them. At least Blatant does that. No, not associated with Blatant, just sharing customer feedback.
I love reading these posts. I cannot believe parents really act like this. I wonder what he would have said if the parent said their kid was playing tennis!

So if Express plays everybody against someone they're beating, that team should be considered a B team?

So who are the A teams?
More concussions in flag football, Soccer and Lax rather than real football at 11 years old. Don't spin it, get the facts. Flag and soccer are more dangerous for you kids.

That’s ridiculous
blast are playing up in the 7th grade bracket for the havoc, the only competition in the 6th grade bracket would have been CSH
So is 24 down to one team? I see the Cyclones are in the B bracket next week at Blatant. I assume no more Blaze? Igloo 2, Force 2, Three Village and the Outlaws in there as well. 91 team 2 is nowhere.

I really think it should be. We have had so many conflicts for football and it should come first, same for soccer. These twice week practices with some in the middle of the day... plus fall October tourneys is something I am becoming more and more against. I’d rather go once a week and schedule 2-4 Scrimmages and one November tourney. Come spring/summer and it’s all lax.

Lacrosse, like all youth sports, are becoming year round endeavors. Its getting to the point that youth organizations need rules set in place to limit off season play. HS and Colleges have specific seasons and guidelines to prevent players from meeting all year round. Family, schoolwork and social interaction have all taken a backseat to the pursuit of dollars on the backs of hardworking parents.

No one is forcing you to play club lacrosse. You need to prioritize what is important to you and your family.

They should have played Columbus Day and faced Express, Geese and R.ushhh. Now they’re playing two brand new teams and a town team. No one is impressed. They knew who would be in the tourneys and chose the weakest one.
Blatant teams are listed in Tourney Machine. No schedule yet. Looks like Blast is looking to find out where 3V, Manhasset and the rest of the town teams are playing. Does that team ever play top tier teams?

Who are the top tier teams? Because “blast” played express several times last season and *gasp* beat them. Unlike every other Long Island team.
Who is rebels? Are they a new team? How did they do at the Columbus Day tournament?

Wow, I didn’t know that Blast beat Express every time they played them last year. Maybe they should call themselves 91 AAAA now. But here’s the thing, that was last year. Why not play then now instead of playing the weakest tourneys available? Chasing t-shirts now because the coaches know they are going to struggle this year? They are too small this year.

They didn’t play. But renegades. did and they are brand new. Went 1-2 but are in that best of rest group with Force, Igloo, Legacy and True Blue. My guess is the Rebels will be at that level as well, which is a very solid level.

They know which tournaments they make money on. They aren't paying Legacy when they can enter into their own crap tournament for free. Because it is a crap tournament, they have the team playing up so their kids get the crap beat out of them by older boys. But 91 is still making the money, right? Cha-ching.
Manhasset doesn't have a 2025 town team on PAL.

I assume you mean Rushhhhh and the mods changed it to Rebels. That's the Ducks from last year. They broke off and formed their own club.

And Blast didn't beat Express every time they played us last year. It was one time in overtime and Express just had an off day. At the club championship Express beat them by 10+ goals.

I didn’t type renegades, how about we call them flush, since the club name doesn’t post for that former ducks team.
i guess no one knows which team she ended up on

They didnt beat Express every time last year. It was a split. Snd one time they lost before the championship, so didnt even get to play Chan in that tournament.
Express beat 91, 10-3 in the semis of the club championship in July. Then they beat Express North by a goal to win the ship. Are they the better team yes, can 91 beat them yes.

You hit the nail on the head. 91 charges big bucks, but actually doesnt pay for any tournaments. They only do NLF and the mylacrossetournaments. At least the NLF ones bring in some decent competition, but the mylacrossetournaments are all lower level, so its just a big joke. Take parents money and pocket it, rather than pay out as they should for tournaments with the real competition. At the 2025 level, this happens the worst because the MULE is the coach, and as director its his pockets being lined the most.
Express may have way too many players, but at least they play all the tournaments out there.

I believe they beat them once. And if Monday was any indication, Blast doesn't stand a chance with them.

Monday tells us nothing. I was there and Express should have had some Cajones and played up! Oh, wait, the second team has to get in.

And enjoy Delaware this weekend. Who is chasing shirts?

My guess is they go to the Express tourney in two weeks. They are NLF partners and Express sends teams to Mylaxtourney regularly.

If you actually read it, I didn’t say they beat them every time they played them. I just said they beat them. name a Long Island team other than 91 that did. I’ll wait...

And I love that when express loses they just had an “off” day. Guess 91 had an “off” game too at the NLF.

Uhhhh... yes you did indicate they beat them multiple times.... Quote: Because “blast” played express several times last season and *gasp* beat them. End quote. You did not say beat them once. So stop trying to backtrack after you get caught in your own BS.

And based on above 91 having an off day. Was it an off day also when Express North beat you? Was it an off day when Laxachusetts beat you?

Get off your high horse snd go have fun at your B tournament this weekend that you paid 4k for.

You are only as good as your last win or lost. They played each other three times last year and 91 won once by 1 in OT. Express blew them out of the water the other 2 times including in their last tournament together. And if you saw express on monday you saw they are a much better team if thats even possible..

I believe Geese beat them twice last fall. Too bad crazy parents ruined that team because they were a talented group. I know, I know, you are going to say the organization ruined it and they certainly had a role in that. But really, it was the parents because if you asked the kids (other than maybe the sachem ones) I'm sure they would have been fine staying.
You two must be the same dads that pay extra for the “studs” practices and eat up Chans bull daily. Or worse, you pay 5k for your son to not be asked to travel to all the tournaments because he really should be on a team where he might see the field more than two minutes. Maybe a few of those boys will still be studs after puberty hits and then the best part is when some boy more athletic than yours that has never played lacrosse before picks up a stick and beats your little stud out of his spot.

Awww poor 91 parent, cant take it when the true facts are laid out.
Actually not an Express parent at all.
Just calling you out on your BS.


Don’t know about you but I saw a different express team on Monday. Stud after stud being subbed into the offense. Don’t know where they came from but good luck. Legacy was undefeated and got humiliated by them twice. Wouldn’t have mattered if those other legacy kids were there.

The think I don’t get about Monday is why did Legacy play them again? Usually just 2-0 vs 2-0 and winner ends it. Did Legacy really expect a different result? It was actually worse.

$tuds! That's what Chan calls them when we go to the $tuds only practices. Its fall ball, lets see what happens over the year. Let's see which of the $tuds parents stay with this team when their son gets 8 minutes in a blow out and 2 minutes in a Championship game.

There is only one ball folks.
Folks, those kids that just play meaningless minutes accept the situation beforehand. Dumb in my opinion, yes. But my opinion is as meaningless as scoring the goal to make it 15-1. Their choice, so who cares. And the Chan team I don’t expect to lose to another LI team this year, that’s why they travel to play real competition.
And who would be that “real competition”?
All this talk about playing up is silly. You want Express to play up so you can see them lose. Or, you want them out of tournaments so that your sons team can have a chance to win. Well, that’s not how sports work, Snowflake. The best teams win. They’re 11 year old kids and they are very good right now. That may change over the next few years, but playing up now serves no purpose. Some 7th grade boys start getting very large. Playing up becomes dangerous. They won’t play up in A divisions because they will get destroyed, so the only option is to play weak teams. Like Blast tomorrow; those teams are not good. Blast will likely beat them, but those boys are not going to like it and could potentially take it out on those tiny Blast kids. It doesn’t make sense. Playing up doesn’t equate to playing better teams, just bigger. It is the clubs/coaches responsibility to put the teams in the tournaments best suited for them. Not to win shirts.
Force looks like the real deal. I’m not sure that Blast would have been able to beat them today.
Good team but not in same class as 91.

That’s so funny. The team lost 10-0 to the Express just 5 days ago. Farce beat the Epic Jokers, who is nice B level team. Also, Farce barely beat Roar today (who lost to Express 32-3) and played a team a low B team in Tri state. So stop it. Next week the Farce has Chan, 2way and North. Go 2-1 and play a competitive game vs Chan and then you say “real deal”.

That’s why they shut them out in the championship game . Message sent.

Express would beat Blast by at least 10; therefore, Force would give Blast a game. When Blast plays a good team, then we can compare. And there are no goo teams tomorrow
Legacy launch 7 - 2025 91AA 5
Whoever created the game schedule for Halloween Havoc didnt do a very good job.
Epic Jokers only ended up in that championship game because they played the 3 weakest teams for their initial games.
If they had played Roar or Greenwich they would have lost. It would have been far more interesting to see those teams against Force in the championship game.
The organizers should have recruited one more team and then had an A and B bracket. If not, do a much better job setting up games.

How about you stop shadow boxing with opponents you haven’t played. Claim defeat when you actually win.

Express B did Einstein. They would have made up the B bracket with the teams above and the A bracket was the other. But the tourney director obviously doesn’t know enough about the teams to make a good bracket.
Legacy Launch 2024.....91 Orange (Blast) 2025. Blast played up and played them tough and lost 6-5 in the final.

FYI, they were Taz kids last year, but this year they’re Launch. I don’t know why people are so upset. The 91 team was very good, but they’re a year younger. I commend them for playing so well.

91 played well but the goalie play in the 2nd half kept 91 them in the game. The kid did great. No, not his dad.

Would love to know how you guys know so much about 6th grade travel lacrosse, especially about Express & 91? Do your kids actually play on one of these teams?

Express is in the 2024 A bracket this weekend.


2025 Chan express is listed as playing this weekend in both 2025A bracket and 2024A bracket. And there are conflicting times, so is he splitting the team for this?

What are the WSYL age rules?
its 2 different days
Express 2025 is playing 2024 because half of those kids can't play in the WSYL next year.
They will see though that they can't complete in the 2024 bracket. That's why those boys who are a year older are playing down a year. They couldn't make it on the A teams in 2024. Good solid players, but size does come into play and they will be shut down in the 2024 bracket.

They are playing the B teams in the bracket. The only two decent teams are Taz and Express Schwale and they aren’t playing either one.

They will see though that they can't complete in the 2024 bracket. That's why those boys who are a year older are playing down a year. They couldn't make it on the A teams in 2024. Good solid players, but size does come into play and they will be shut down in the 2024 bracket.


They are playing the B teams in the bracket. The only two decent teams are Taz and Express Schwale and they aren’t playing either one.


S2S is a good B team but small in size. Igloo has big kids which will make it hard for them. And 2 Way will crush them.

With all the practice in the world S2S can’t beat them!

That may change over the next few years, but playing up now serves no purpose. Some 7th grade boys start getting very large. Playing up becomes dangerous. They won’t play up in A divisions because they will get destroyed, so the only option is to play weak teams. Like Blast tomorrow; those teams are not good. Blast will likely beat them, but those boys are not going to like it and could potentially take it out on those tiny Blast kids. It doesn’t make sense. Playing up doesn’t equate to playing better teams, just bigger. It is the clubs/coaches responsibility to put the teams in the tournaments best suited for them. Not to win shirts.


90% of the Express team are 12 yrs old. lets get facts straight!


Blast, too. A bunch of Igloo as well.


Top clubs all going by bogus WSYL birth year age rules. Late August is cut off, they are all eligible and yes some kids playing on grade are almost a year younger and older

What are the WSYL age rules?

True or False: Express Chan 2025 has 2024 kids?

Lol. Do you sit around and make this stuff up. All starting 10 will be at the WSYL in the summer of 2020

does that include the 7th grade kid who got cut from Express A, then B at 2024.He will keep "HUNTERING" around with his August 05 Birthdate..Even though hes small
Wow you basically just called a kid out by his name. That's pretty low. You must be inbreed.

Agree. What a lost that guy is. Sad thing is it’s probably a parent of one of his teammates. Kid is a young 2006. Not even the oldest on that team.

There is only a handful of tournaments with requirements and even they don't check ages. The WSYL is a business venture, so the age requirements are skewed to benefit the partners. If US Lacrosse or another governing body does not establish cut-offs nothing will change. Unless, that is, someone gets seriously injured by a kid 2 years older. Every other major sport follows guidelines.

So true! This sport is getting to big not to have a governing body where age rules are enforced!
Should be Chan 2024 / 2025

Are you serious with this post? This post should be removed!
If you knew anything about the kid, he's a great player and class act! Wasn't cut from any team.
I'm guessing someone on the 2025 team just wants more playing time.
Please remove that post calling out a kid by name is just wrong!

Putting all that aside. And not discussing WSYL.
For the regular tournaments they are age based. So unless these kids were left ba k, they cant play in thr Blatant tournaments 2025 division unless they are legit in 6th grade.

Why not no one checks rosters or ages. Lacrosse should adopt the same system soccer uses. Coach has each kids ID's and they hand them out to each player and each kid gives to ref at beginning of game. Even PAL Football is doing a hybrid version of this where the coaches check rosters. Coach has a list with picture of each kid and birth date.
US Lacrosse needs to make this change. Seems they make other changes all the time to better the game..
Chan did cut 2024 kids who then refused the B team and are now playing down. Cheating cheaters are stealing time from 11 year olds. That's UGLY! I blame the parents!

Perfect, at least everyone now has a subject to post about when the Express rolls on tomorrow by winning each game easily. Because of all the half truths and nonsense, that’s a fact. And the other fact is that 91 parents will be checking tourney machine results. Lol. Express Keeps Rolling!!!!

Ref class is in January. Go get certified and make a few hundred bucks in an afternoon. You get paid whether you are right or wrong.

Say what you want, you get what you pay for.After seeing the other clubs product this weekend, I would not bargain shop. In my opinion, a few clubs have taken a step back. Won’t name them, just an observation
And once again Chan pulls a fast one. He sends the 2025 home so that his 2024 team can take there place in the semi-finals (that his 2024 team did not make it into).This guy is such a snake!!!!!!

don’t you think the other teams consented and the tourney directors agreed? Not advocating either way, just saying this is always more to the story

I’m kinda new to this whole things. The Blatant Tournament has semi-finals? Please explain?
Chan’s team didn’t even play any good teams. The bottom teams were protected from the top teams. Terrible job setting the schedule up.

no consent . Was standing right by the desk. The 2025 coach walked right up and said they are letting the 2024 team take their spot. The 2024 team was knocked out. Was a scam . Typical crap at blatant. To boot the 2024 ended up. winning they beat the TAZ team that beat them knocked them out . I am sure that went over well with the parents . How that club gets away with this crap. They should have never made it to the final
Not an express fan, but that’s not true. 2024 went 3-0. 2025 went 2-0-1. That means they have less points
Fake news ....... Express 2024 lost to Taz in the first game that they played against each other.
What was wrong with the refs. I thought they did a good job, for the most part.
Legacy seems to have taken big step back

Ok your all misconstruing the situation.
Express Schwalje was always in the top 4.
It would have been:
1. Taz 3 wins 0 losses
2. Igloo 2 wins 1 tie (but had a better goal differential)
3. Express 2025 Chan 2 wins 1 tie
4. Express 2024 Schwalje 2 wins 1 loss (but beat Express 2024 North in head to head 3rd game)

When Chan forfeited it allowed Express 2024 North to come in as the 4th spot and Express 2024 Schwalje moved up to the 3rd.
This way Schwalje went against Igloo in playoff instead of Taz, and would then go against Taz in championship game.
Since it was up for grabs as to who would win in a Taz vs Schwalje game, and Schwalje lost their first game against Taz, by Chan forfeiting it just pretty much ensured Schwalje would make it to final championship game to face Taz.

Next time read the rules for the tournament, and you would have realised Schwalje would have been in playoffs. Not to mention after Chan forfeited Schwalje was then listed as number 3 team and Express North as number 4, told you Schwalje was in playoffs either way.

You are right rebels 2-1 also so three way tie at 2-1. Best goal differential decides the seed. So the 4 seed was express north. Lie was the 5th seed. Blatant really lost credibility

You are wrong. Read the rules.
In a tiebreaker after points which was the same since 2 wins 1 loss, then comes head to head. Head to head comes before goal differential.
Schwalje played Express North in 3rd game and won, so they seeded better than Express North.
Rebels had a worse goal differential then both of the other teams so they had no chance.

You must read the rules. Every tourney is different.

Thus the reason in playoffs Schwalje seeded 3rd and played Igloo while North behind them seeded 4th and played Taz.
Chan forfeited because he knew he couldn’t win. Great lesson you are teaching your players!
His top players who were good but nothing special tied Igloo because big Igloo boys couldn’t figure out how to play such small players without fouling. That right there is why you shouldn’t play up. The size difference was ridiculous! He knew in the playoffs Igloo would figure out how to use their size and not stumble and step back. Cheater and horrible coach!
Okay at the end of the day Express has an ugly orange T-shirt and split with Legacy. They are the two best teams yesterday and probably will play again this weekend at tri star. Heard the 2025s for 91 might be attending.
You are wrong. 3 Teams tied at 2-1. Only 2 teams played each other so head to head can’t be used for tie
breaker. Moves to goal diffential. Which Express North
was leader. They get 4 seed.

what kind of stunad says this? look at taz schedule? stop crying , Chan's team is a very good team and you know they proved that today ....and for the guys crying that they didnt get to play them again so they would have a haha easier path to the finals ..good luck

Sorry you are wrong.
Nothing in rules say cant use head to head if 3. Way tie. Rebels didnt play either head to head so you look at goal differential. And they did not beat either on that, so were knocked out.
Schwalje and Express North did go head to head and Schwalje won, so they were 4th seed.
After forfeit by Chan, Schwalje moved up to 3rd seed and Express North became 4th seed.

If you were right then after forfeit, Express North would have moved up to 3rd seed and Schwalje would have been 4th seed.
That did not happen. Its all there very clearly. Its ridiculous and makes you look foolish to argue anymore.

Sorry, but Force was third best team on Saturday. On paper they were much better than Rebels.


We are talking about the 2024 games on Sunday. Not the Saturday games.

Oh, so we're talking about 2024 games on a 2025 thread!?!?
Chan 2025 has 2024 kids on it anyway. They should always Play 2024 brackets!

Yes. Because Express Chan 2025 not only played Saturday. But they also played Sunday in the 2024 division.

They would be good enough to compete. But then the 2nd & 3rd liners wouldn't get any playing time.
How about twenty24 in the B division. go 3-0 and lost to OReilly? the 3-7th graders left after Igloo game... CC needed to beat Igloo to save his franchise. that ship has sunk

12-2 loss to Express A and the B team went 0-3 as well.
They beat O'Reilly after they left. Tourney Machine is wrong. CC was definitely all about beating igloo. 24 "2025" won the 2025 B bracket

Regardless, looks like the Force A team was still the 3rd best team on Saturday and is probably the 3rd or 4th best team on Long Island. Very tough to dispute that. Don't know much about the Force B team other than they are a new team.
Christopher Columbus
The owner of twenty4
Second year team is not going to compete with Express. Looks like they played express north tough.
The B team went 1-2
Hornets playing to 5th/6th grade teams.
All the B team rosters looked light. Don’t know if it’s other fall sports or what. I think parents on some of these lessor B teams will look for greener pastures after the fall. Now that they see the results on the field.

I don’t think it’s that tough. TB, fl$, Igloo, Legacy are all clustered there. How long before the better kids move to 91 or Express? Because that’s a risk and that is what happens.

Great “dispute”, buddy. Don’t think TB ever beat Force and name one reputable A team fl$ and Legacy has beaten? Force lost to Igloo by a goal last year. As far as the better kids moving to Express or 91, not everyone wants to be in a roster with 35 other kids.

And farce lost twice to TB in one day last year. Hard to dispute.... lol. See you at the National Club Championship in July. It’s at UMass this year in case you need to book your hotel rooms now.

What's with the "Farce" thing? FORCE beat TB 4-2 last spring and lost to them in a braveheart which puts them in your cluster.
Who cares about who ranks where? It’s meaningless. Let the boys play and have fun. No one can dispute that there are only 3 A programs (91, Express, and igloo) and the rest are just B teams competing and having fun. And there’s nothing wrong with that, nor does it mean it will always be that way. None of those other teams stand out as that much better than any of the rest and none of them can really compete with those 3 teams. That’s just the way it is. Your son may not be the best player on the best team right now but that doesn’t mean he won’t be a star one day. Let them just have fun without all the parent intervention. People on this board need to stop calling out children, pointing fingers, insulting others and being so darn immature and disgusting.

Well said, however I disagree with Igloo being in the same class as Express & 91.

Agreed. Express by far the top of the food chain, followed by 91. Igloo is good but not at that level. No shame. I can't imagine anyone asking when you are a young adult how many t-shirts you won as a 10, 11 or 12 yr old. Play and develop. Have fun.

Yet those programs mostly put those poor boys in A tournaments to get massacred, unless they play each other. Because in order to get parents to pay for their programs they had to tell them they were an A team even though they knew they weren’t and didn’t stand a chance with the roster they had. I don’t understand why tournaments don’t just put teams like those right into the B divisions so they can play in competitive games instead of being embarrassed and demoralizing those poor kids.

So 91 and Express are the only A teams?
Not A teams AA teams
I can’t see how the Hornets will be any good. This is the 3rd attempt at a B team. They are playing two 5th/6th grade teams at the Pumpkin Tourney. Originally they were playing the old Ducks and it changed. C’mon man!
Why don't you let them play and get some games under them before you start judging them.

Legacy Geese are a solid BB team
True blue definitely beat force a bunch of times last year

Express a distant 1
91 2
Igloo 3
True blue 4
Force 5

If we are being crazy and ranking 6th grade lax

Exactly. Fall ball doesnt say much about these teams. Especially brand new teams that never played together before and never had their current coaches. These teams need time to gel between players and coaches. In the meantime hopefully the kids are enjoying their experience as well as working hard. Since thats what its all about. Right parents.

What's wrong with you? You must be an angry father of an Express or 91 player who rides the pine but loves wearing the gear on the sideline. Stop being so negative!

You clearly aren’t a force parent. Any force parent would know TB beat them twice at their own tournament. And force beat TB once. Both teams are good.

That brings up a good question. Not a MD or LI parent but how do the LI team do vs MD teams. Express wins but I would think Team 91MD is better than 91LI.

So here is my expectations:
1. My kid is happy and enjoying himself ... most important
2. He likes the other kids
3. He has good coaches
4. He finds he is learning
5. Preferably there are little to no overbearing parents.

I do this for my kid. Not for my ego.
Have fun on Saturday, but newsflash tourney on LI was cancelled.

Rack 'em and Stack 'em. Parents love watching their kids sitting on the bench.
Can anyone confirm if the Pumpkin Shootout this weekend has been cancelled due to the pending weather?

Cancelled
Pathetic that 7th graders are needed to save a 24 Cyclones in the 2025B division. I was at that game. No doubt it was true that there were older kids a head taller and bigger than the 11 year olds they played.

24 is a joke organization, they absolutely had several older kids on the team.

I am sure that some teams cheat with older kids, unfortunately its human nature. But size isn't always an indicator of age!! The 2026 Express team dads were complaining in Delaware once they realized that the Hawks team was better than them saying that the Hawks had older kids because a few were bigger and faster than their kids. Claiming hold backs and 2025 kids on the team (2025 was playing a few fields away). After hearing them complain all game its funny I see on here that Express apparently carry older kids on their teams. hmmmmmm
Now that this weekend is a washout,
Have any teams been notified what tournament their directors are having replace this weekends tournament?
It’s pathetic because this is a B level and the kids and parents playing here are not out looking for scholarships. Most want good coaching, playing time and an opportunity to improve. There is no reason to bring 7th graders to play 6th graders – regardless whether it is AA, A or B but it is even more absurd at a B tournament.

I’ve played and coached lacrosse for a long time at a level that most of these AA playing kids will only dream to play. At this age it is all about reps and practice. It is mindboggling that any athletic 11 year old would want to be buried on a 30 player team. If only the top 13 get playing time, then only 13 improve. Helicopter parenting has got to be a part of this madness.

My kid is not on Express and he will likely never get to AA level which is totally ok. He plays for a nice program with super coaching and he loves his team. It is a pipe dream for many of the parents seeking AA attention. With less than 2% of HS players getting to Div 1 level, it really is silly to expect than any of these kids, other than the exceptional handful, will get to a good Div 1 team. With young athletes in TX, GA, FL and CA increasingly playing lax every year, the share of that 2% for Long Island kids will continue to shrink quickly. Plus all the Canadians filling college rosters…

I know size is not and indicator for age, I was there and I several kids that I know are older. It really is sad that clubs feel the need to do this. What are they teaching the kids, it’s ok to cheat & win at all cost. Like I said 24 is joke organization
I didn’t realize that was 24s A team. I thought it was B and then realized they are down to one team. They had two teams last year and the A team was okay. Now they are left with just a B team. Funny thing is that you can about 3-5 players from each B team on Saturday and form an decent A team.

There actually is 5 boys on the 2026 Hawks that are 2025's. It's a fact. The coach confirmed this to the referees.
24 should just enroll the older kids in kellenberg and keep telling everybody they are going to repeat a grade before they graduate so it’s ok. Chan has been doing it for years and everyone is ok.

Your approach is far too level headed and true for this group of parents to understand. I come on here for the entertainment...but travel has clouded parents perception of their kids true abilities.

Your approach is far too level headed and true for this group of parents to understand. I come on here for the entertainment...but travel has clouded parents perception of their kids true abilities.


Your chances increase pretty significantly if you have $$$ and grades. First unlimited prospect days, camps, visits. Second if coach choosing between your kid and another and you’re fine paying the full boat and he doesn’t have to push the admin dept your going to get the spot
So 91 went to Delaware to play nobody?

24 is a joke organization, they absolutely had several older kids on the team.


I am sure that some teams cheat with older kids, unfortunately its human nature. But size isn't always an indicator of age!! The 2026 Express team dads were complaining in Delaware once they realized that the Hawks team was better than them saying that the Hawks had older kids because a few were bigger and faster than their kids. Claiming hold backs and 2025 kids on the team (2025 was playing a few fields away). After hearing them complain all game its funny I see on here that Express apparently carry older kids on their teams. hmmmmmm


There actually is 5 boys on the 2026 Hawks that are 2025's. It's a fact. The coach confirmed this to the referees.


liar......plain and simple
Serious question. What’s the deal with Blast? Did they lose kids? As a parent, I pay a lot of money for my son to play lacrosse against the best competition available. Win or lose, he gets better because of this. There have been several LOCAL tournaments this fall that many strong clubs have played in, but Blast continues to avoid them at all costs. I don’t understand it. Are they afraid that if they lose the parents will revolt? Next weekend is another one. Probably the best teams in the east coast are all meeting up in Delaware at the NAL Fall Invitational. Express, Legacy, Bethesda, Hawks, Express North, Madlax and Sweetlax NY all making the trip. But no Blast. Again. My guess is that most of the teams I just mentioned would beat them this year.

Serious answer, I think 91AA were signed up to play at the Express event but that was rained out. So maybe you can call up 91 and ask for Jim Mule. I'm fairly sure that he is an owner of 91 and he is one of the 2025 coaches shown on the website.

Maybe he is OK with not putting a big emphasis on fall ball or maybe they are like the Patriots and do everything top secret.

Also I'm very interested in finding out what team your son is playing on that you pay a lot of money for but didn't name.

PS Mule has figured out how to separate parents from their money at 91, but I also think he was a Pro Coach and is in the Lax Hall of Fame or something and one of his sons plays at Duke and his 2019 team was good. You let us know what he says because I would like to see if he knows what he is doing.
The one thing I will say as non 91 parent. The fall has become too much. My worst fear is my son doesn’t play xxxxxx because lax is twice a week and they have 5 fall tourneys. It is football season, the only single season sport left.

Someone’s panties are in a bunch, huh? I guess you’re a Blastard with blind faith in Mule. Being a HOF player does not make for a good coach. He is not a good youth coach. He runs a specific offense and makes sure he only coaches top teams so he can run it. He doesn’t relate to kids. And, he just one of the 7 coaches in the Blast revolving coaching door. You won’t see him in the spring. Maybe he’ll show up to a few tourneys in the summer.

And to answer your question. You can figure out what team my son plays for very easily. His team has been ahead of you for years and that won’t change.

If what you posted is true (which i doubt) then you know that 91 has beaten your boys team. That must hurt as you know the 91 teams are top notch every year. But my bet is that whoever he plays for your boy doesn’t play much and certainly doesn’t play another sport as all of these kids should.

I hope you are getting your moneys worth for your son as he piles up the garbage time minutes against Force. Hopefully he gets in now, because there are multi sport kids on their way for Spring. Then your son can watch the two teams play just like you do.

PS 91 posts their tournaments so you can make sure your sons team gets on the schedule.

Keep guessing. Oh.....and have fun in Delaware. My family and I will be enjoying a nice long vacation weekend together, because I know there is more to life than 6th grade lacrosse. And if you are so sure that Blast would lose to those teams, why do you care if they are there? You pay A LOT of money to play against the BEST competition.

Stop worrying about Blast. They’re certainly not worrying about you.

Because they only played in one crappy tournament. They are done for the fall. I think we're seeing the demise of Blast. Word is, parents are already unhappy. You know how that goes over there. Run another coach out and cross your fingers.

With NLF, 91 and Express are joined at the hip. They put on a show for the parents and are laughing all the way to the bank.
Hopefully that was the first cut of the Mustang schedule. The time spreads are kinda ridiculous.
Looks like Empire dropped out of the Mustang tournament
that's a good all around group over there, hopefully the can get some manpower. their roster seems a little light
Who are the Shore to Shore Gators? The Sharks are their B team I recall. But now there is a S2S Gators.

Smart move. 40 degrees, other sport conflicts and early season, means nothing.
I hope they can recruit decent kids
how's the 91 B team? i guess we'll find out tomorrow

Why does it matter to you? I wouldn't expect much being that they are a brand new team and have never played a game together. Are you one of those people who jump on here as soon as a tournaments over to let everyone know how all the teams did? Why don't you check back in on them and all the other teams out there once the summer is over to see how they all improved. Good luck to you and your boy

How about you go sit on a long pole??? I am asking a question on a public forum for information regarding youth Lacrosse Genius.
It matters to me because I am engaged in my son's growth. It matters to me because I am interested in the team..... Ballers beware...The "B" teams are coming...........

LA DUUUUUUSH...

I hear you. But travel for the most part is over 3k, it’s a results driven thing. Being competitive and going 1-2 is okay and then there is something to build on. But going 0-3 and scoring like 5 goals is not promising. This is not directed at any team. Just making a statement in general. As a B team parent team selection is tough because of the unknown. But if my sons team looks like it’s just not competitive in fall, I would be really concerned that I will waste a lot money and years worth of development. And that I have to pick whole team next August.

One tournament, where they played up to play against B level teams, and lost the championship game.
You can say they played up, but that means nothing when playing lower level. Not looking like 91 AA is looking that good this year.
And no other tournaments for Fall? Are they trying to avoid LI Express?

Ummm, think not. Geese aint going 0-3 in tourneys so far.
91B team is just another dud team like past years. 91 makes money giving nothing back. Parents should have listened to warnings and not wasted their money on 2nd and 3rd level teams.

Awwwww poor 91 parent got burned with response. So lashes back with nonsense, when he has no idea how much time the posters kid plays on Express. Could be a starter for all he knows.

But at least Express gets tourneys for the money they pay. 91 gets 1 fall tourney. And that tourney is a B level tourney so they play up and LOSE against Legacy's B team twice.

Not looking like your getting anything for the big money you pay.
Burn!!!!!

Stop it. They were going to the Express tourney that was rained out. But since it’s obvious you’re not associated with either team, just keep blogging. It’s at least entertaining.

And they couldnt go to a different one to replace it? Like maybe Deleware this weekend where Express and Geese are?
Instead its sorry, too bad, so sad.
You only get one tournament which we charged you for in your tuition even though its our own tourney. And you played up against B teams and lost. Because they dont care in 91. Just as long as they are making money.

Right on the button baby! Call is for football and it’s championship time!

Oh and fall if for Chan to make some cake!
Geese is all out of complainers. Roster is at 18 and 2 goalies. We practice twice per week and have 3 coaches at almost every practice. Free indoor training and winter box coming. Take that over t shirts any day.

Couldn't agree more! Why would you give up that day to play in a tournament against the top boys teams when you can give up 2 days over Thanksgiving, away from family and friends for the holiday, to play in a box tournament against a girl team. You must be so proud your son is on a team that believes "there is more to life than 6th grade lacrosse." Hypocrisy at its best.

But no Blast. Again. My guess is that most of the teams I just mentioned would beat them this year.


Keep guessing. Oh.....and have fun in Delaware. My family and I will be enjoying a nice long vacation weekend together, because I know there is more to life than 6th grade lacrosse. And if you are so sure that Blast would lose to those teams, why do you care if they are there? You pay A LOT of money to play against the BEST competition.

Stop worrying about Blast. They’re certainly not worrying about you.


Couldn't agree more! Why would you give up that day to play in a tournament against the top boys teams when you can give up 2 days over Thanksgiving, away from family and friends for the holiday, to play in a box tournament against a girl team. You must be so proud your son is on a team that believes "there is more to life than 6th grade lacrosse." Hypocrisy at its best.


Let’s wait for the “We had no idea who would be playing” excuse. Total BS. Every coach knew at the start of the week.

The sad part is, this was posted by a Blast parent. It's okay pal, we know no one missed you this weekend. Stop spending so much money on lacrosse, your boy isn't an athlete anyway, and buy yourself a toupe.

Honestly, they should be used to it by now. They’ll play 2-3 top NLF tournaments in the summer, but fall, winter and spring they play very weak team to keep the parents at bay. I just don’t get it. The parents want to tell people their kids are the greatest, but they won’t test themselves. And to go to Philly and lose 2 games to subpar teams and beat a girls team just doesn’t make sense.
Wait, Igloo lost to a town team??? the ice is melting...

You have it all wrong, they lost all 3 games by a wide margin, and were so embarrassed that they are all going to have to quit lacrosse forever. That team is going to disband it’s so badly run. It is so bad, even the cheesesteak sandwiches were gross. Now we all know why no director will even associate with it. Hahaha

Stop..... Its a notIntelligent thing that a desperate coach is using. These girls do not belong doing box lacrosse. And his coaching at SBU is marginal and will run its course shortly with him leaving.
HAHAH. hit a nerve?

You clearly do not know the man if you are calling his coaching marginal!! It sounds like you might be unintelligent yourself!

Nobody cares about box lacrosse.

C’mon!. The guy has been successful at every level of coaching in the sport. So what that he isn’t shy about his teams and their accomplishments. You can’t say his coaching is marginal. No, my kids don’t play for 91, just the facts and you should be called out for making that statement.

Can someone explain to me what value there is for girls to play boys box lacrosse? I’d say that has more to do with one narcissistic coach than it does a bunch of little 11 year old girls. As an outsider, it looks like he just wants to be able to brag about how HIS 11 year old girls beating 11 year old boys at their own sport. A very nice little feather in his cap? C’mon. It’s a completely different sport. The best that can come out of it is a whole bunch of bad habits.

The truth is 91 was not invited to the Delaware tourney. No 91 teams.

It is a completely different sport. Girls lacrosse is boring. Box lacrosse is exciting and fun. Who wouldn't want to play box over girls lacrosse?

skill development and team work! Sounds like a Daddy that has had his dreams squashed by some 11 year old girls. On another note all the girls teams in Canada are playing and it is why their skill work and teams are closing the gap on the US
I’d rather be a hypocrite than a blatant sexist. Your disdain for women certainly stems from a subconscious insecurity that you are not good enough. This explains why you feel the need to come on BOTC and put down athletes (both male and female) who are just trying to improve themselves. For your son’s sake, I hope he is good athlete who is kind so he can break the cycle. Good luck, Junior. BREAK THE CYCLE!

Express is a finesse team with good coaching and sets of plays. They don't have the chops for a gritty game of box lacrosse. It's not their game.

You’re right. They play fast and use space to draw the defense out of position. Won’t work in box. There is no where to run and hide.

This whole conversation is dumb. They will split the roster into multiple teams for box if necessary. Every team does this. Box teaches these kids how to work without the ball. That translates to getting open on the outdoor fields. It's great for anyone to play box if they want to become a better lacrosse player.

Box is bad for girls. Box is great for anyone. Someone is afraid their superstar will get roughed up by a little blonde girl with a ponytail. How will junior ever grow up to be a man like his balding old fat dad? Bunch of p$ssys scared of 11 yr old girls.

And when "Johnny" injures "little Sally" then what??? Here comes the lawyer with a law suit. Its a dumb idea that does not help girls with their sport. But as stated.....it gives a narcissistic coach a way to tell the parents about how much he helps his team . T

This is dead on
Tryout today for channys Denver team. Mix of 25s, 24s and 23s.
With the amount of kids we have on our top two express teams we could field an entire BOX tournament. This is the type of stuff we should be doing but Chan is too worried about hurting feelings and feels he can't make enough money from it which is a shame

Blast loses again. Lol lol too funny. Drive out if state to lose to girls. They’re here on Long Island. Can you get a play day, lose here and save the drive?
The reason our express team doesn't play Box is that there is no money in it for Chan Tournaments are expensive because rink time and rosters have to be smaller so the BIG roster approach doesn't fly.
Truth is with our top two teams we could field 5 teams at the age group. Tempted to play box elsewhere as my son is intrigued by it and seems like fast fun

FLG has a great program that starts next week. I know it's open to kids who don't play for flg.
Blast did not play girls yesterday. Nice try. YJs stayed around to take pics with t-shirts and a trophy from a championship that never took place. Don’t believe the hype.
how many kids trying out?

How did they get t-shirts and a trophy if they didn't win? Sound like hype to me. Yours.
Our coach decided he did not want to play in championship there was no game. Apparently YJ wanted to play but ours felt like it was a bad idea Coaches of both teams are friends so not sure
Don’t overthink or over complicate this. Both teams from LI and wanted to get home. Blast was gracious enough to let the girls get the t-shirts. Classy move by them, and provided a fun moment for the girls who spanked all the PA teams.
You mean tied a 5th grade heavy team, right?
Yeah both 91 coaches are class acts ..... LOL

There are pictures on Instagram of them winning the Championship with T-Shirts and the trophy. Complete fabrication and hype. The only common opponent (Mesa 5th/6th mix) tied the girls and got crushed by Blast, 17-3. The girls are good but they are also not playing top 6th grade boys teams. It's a cute story (and convenient for the Coach since his older boys were also there) but not at all realistic to think they'd beat the best 2025 boys teams. They would get walloped.

Truth is with our top two teams we could field 5 teams at the age group. Tempted to play box elsewhere as my son is intrigued by it and seems like fast fun

Facts !!

There is no way this came from someone on Chan's team.
Quick question......I heard Express is taking their 2025 team to WSYL this year. Is that correct? If so, is it because most of those boys have to play this summer to make the U13 age-based requirement? In other words......are there a lot of holdbacks on that team? Not looking to bash, just curious.

This is being talked about and quite possible. Going to qualifier first

Total fabrication. There is not a stitch of truth in this conversation. Just some Blast parent implying that Express has more holdbacks than they do.
Not a fabrication. Just a question. It seems like a lot of money to lay out two years in a row. Why not just go as a rising 8th grader? I guess time will tell.

Express has no interest in qualifying for the WSYL this year. This topic has never been discussed by the coaches or the parents. They will go to qualifiers next year like the rest of the 25's.

Again, this is coming from a Blast parent trying to start an issue where none exists.
Thanks for the clarification. Although I did hear this rumor (2025 going this summer) through the grapevine and did not fabricate it. Maybe it was false, but I did not make it up.

It's amazing how many different versions of everything are here. The topic was absolutely discussed. There was a parent discussion with Chan at a practice after we played in the Blatant tournament. Chan decided not to do it this year. There are a few 2025 boys that are part of a combo 23, 24, 25 team that is trying to qualify, alongside the '24 A team. There you have it, for real.
Thanks for the honest answer. Good luck to the boys.

Hmmmmm......looks like you’re the fabricator. Thanks for the fake news. Btw, it was a legit question on a board where people go for travel lax info. End of story.

From what I understand, its not the true 24 team but the combo team. All age eligible.

I have an older son who's a 2023, so we just went through this last year. Nearly team brings in older kids that fit within the age constraints. The teams that don't are unable to compete (unless they already have the holdbacks). I'm not sure what teams you all have kids on, but expect them to do the same when the time comes. Seemed like 3-4 kids on each team.

Give me a break. Of course the girls wanted to play. The girls are confidant in their ability and are not afraid to play any bots team in Box.
The 91 boys and their coach are afraid of how it would look if they got spanked by the girls team in Box. Which could easily happen with a girls team of that caliber.
Lets not sure here and pretend you did this to be nice. Its because your all afraid of the outcome.
Lol. 🤣😂🤣😂
Talking about box. Havent heard too much about Island box this year. There was lots of hype last year, like it was greatest thing for long island box lacrosse. But not much hype this year.
While NOTB and FLG are clearly up and running.
Anyone here doing Island box??

This would not be safe or smart. The girls would get hurt against the top boy's 2025 teams. Keep playing mixed grade B/C squads and spouting off about it.

I’m a complete outsider, but based on the score of common opponent, the boys team would have blown out the girls team. Impossible to surmise otherwise based on the scores. How about a parent of the girls team explaining that??

Stop. They had one common opponent. The girls tied this team. The Blast humiliated them to the tune of 17-3, where they took their foot off the gas by the half. It was a joke of a game. Blast is in a completely different league than the girls. End of conversation.

Blast is too good to play so they quit. Good strategy. You must have some real geniuses over there.
As you called it a “joke of a game”, I agree 100% as it wasn’t competitive at all. The real joke though is why this team would travel to a small town outside of Philly to play some 25/26 teams in a tournament that hosted local and average club A/B teams (no AA teams). Seems to me a complete waste of time - outscoring the teams you played 57-4 (or so) doesn’t do your team or the teams you crushed any good. To the stunad(s) who think(s) the YJ’s can hang with 91 - you are delusional... while those girls held their own against low-level 5th and 6th grade talent, they would have lost by 15 or more to 91.

This is the top girls team. And that is a completely sexist comment. Especially at the 5th/6th grade level. There is no reason girls can not be competitive against boys at this grade level.
And 91 until this year had a girl as a goalie, so they know it.
What a backward view. Hope you dont have any daughters.

Instead of the mindless insults, explain how the facts support your case. 17-3! Maybe you missed that. 17-3!! Clear enough?? 17-3!!! Explain THAT.

The girls may barely beat some HORRIBLE boys teams, who are quite honestly horizontally challenged, but that only makes them another HORRIBLE team. Understand? Not good. Horrible!

Interesting comments:

1. “There is no reason that girls teams can’t be competitive with boys teams”
2. “This is the top girls team.”

These two quotes just sank your girl-power ship. Your “top team” tied a REALLY REALLY B - A - D boys team (with many players that had trouble passing and catching) that a decent boys team humiliated 17-3, which could easily have been any score that Blast wanted to make it.

So, if the self proclaimed “TOP GIRLS TEAM” can’t beat B - A - D boys teams (with all 1st year players) then no girls teams should be playing boys teams at all. Obviously!!
If you are so sure the girls could beat the top boys teams, why aren’t the girls entered in the AA bracket? Enough said. Go back to the girls thread to spout your nonsense. Peace out.
No one watches girls lacrosse.....
True that. Maybe that’s why they are playing against the boys. The parents are looking for attention. Nobody loves them. Nobody cares about their feelings! 😫

If the Coach actually showed up then I am sure the program would be something special. Unfortunately he has yet to come to any of the clinics this year.
Time will tell if they can survive.
Ditto about last year with 'His' buddy coaching. And no surprise that 'he' is MIA again this year.

PAL buddy coach too concerned with making sure his tiny son is in the middle of everything. Turned everyone off last year, including his pequa crew.

Whats the deal with the warrior all american games? Looks like its 91 run tournament. Is it a waste of time to tryout for this thing?

If your credit card isn't declined, your son can play. First year the LI team was good but the competition was bad and LI blew them all out. We went to the tryouts last year, looked at the overall talent and poorly run tryout and decided not to go a second time. If you think of it as a lacrosse vacation it's worth it. Your son plays with different kids, you get to meet people from all over and go visit someplace you may not have been to before. But whatever you do, don't believe the marketing hype. They'll take as many kids, good or bad, as they need to fill the roster.
Is it true WI is getting the band back together?
All registered for another PAL season. Really wish my school district would reconsider the grades allowed to play school ball. My son is of pretty good size and speed with really strong stick skills and IQ. He'd definitely be a 1st line player, not only for middle school but probably our JV squad. I'd bet by mid season, he'd be a varsity call-up. But instead, another year of him playing with and against kids who can't catch or pass.

Disclaimer - This is 100% sarcasm for a slow workday. Don't get all twisted
Lots of newer teams in this age group. Will be interesting how they all compete against Express, Express North and 91 (when and if 91 plays in a tourney other than their own).
Even Igloo lost some players to other teams this year.
I think this is going to be a very competitive season.

Why have so many left the team/organization? I would imagine there has to be some sort of issues. Why did there second team fold. I thought that they were a decent group from what I've seen and heard.

I have 2 kids with legacy and its been nothing but great, both kids progressing well. Def. get more for your money. Use to play with 91 but left. They are a good organization but get very little for the money. They charge you for the name.. I look at the future and the results speak for themselves. Percentage wise, Legacy get more kids recruited them most clubs. look it up. ITS NOT JUST ABOUT THE WIN

^^^^^ He's right you know....
Not sure if me/my son have a strong enough Longisland accent to truly fit in with the legacy crowd. I suppose I could purchase some tank tops to at least try though.

LIE still far ad away the best in 2025. Everyone else just picking up the crumbs. Igloo, ha, you funny. they can't even beat town teams.
Anyone go to the open gym at [ChillLaxin] in Sayville on Friday nights? Think it’s from 8-9 and anyone can play for an hour. Not a clinic, just games like an open gym for basketball. I heard it’s pretty decent but it’s a little far for me to travel so looking for feedback.

You clearly haven't paid attention to the last 3 or 4 years of recruiting then. 91 and Express have way more kids going to school to play lacrosse. There's no arguing that. look at the 2020 & 2019 class for both organizations. The 2021 class will be just as successful.
you know it all just wait when you don't get certain invites to Showcases by that time it is too late and you are stuck ... Good Luck with roster of 27 kids and by the way when it is time for recruiting let me know how many non express helmets are on the sideline in the fall and your son who has been playing since 2nd grade is now on the bench . Have fun and please save this statement and dig it out in years and let me know if i am wrong ....

It's not open. It invites only and they are full.

It's not open. It invites only and they are full.


That's not true. I brought my son last week and he played.

Can you just show up or do you need contact someone first? Is it just 2025’s?

I wonder what's going to happen next year when teams get ready for the WSYL. The trend has been that teams, particular 91 and Express but all teams to a lesser degree, take on several players, including the grade above with later birth dates. I have 3 sons; 8th, 7th and 6th. My older guys team went to Denver and, luckily, he got some meaningful minutes. But more than a few kids barely played because of the new additions.

My middle guy's team took on a few kids too and there are a lot of angry parents. Go check out the 2024 forum. It's a disaster. A few of last year's starters were bumped to 2nd string and 2nd string got bumped to the bench. My guy will be fighting for minutes for certain. Big midfielders and big defenders seem to gravitate to the top teams leaving the next teir fighting for the rest.

Enjoy this season, because things are going to get ugly next year. Express already has 30 man rosters. Add 3-4 to that next year. 91 will be at 30 too and a handful of their mid-level (2nd line mids, 4th defender) will be very unhappy.

You are just trying to get the Express parents fired up.

Express parents know how it works by now. It's the 91 parents who are in for the rude awakening. No, no, it won't be _your_ kid who gets pushed to the bench. Lol lol.

Um, yeah. We also have a 4th grade daughter. I didn't realize that was strange. I guess my wife is more attractive than yours.

91 already has an out of state guest player they took this year. That can only get worse on a WSYL year not better.

express does as well. those clubs are the worst at bending the rules.
If you take on older kids it’s because you want to improve the team and make, and win the TV game. Let’s be honest if that game was not aired on ESPN, the teams from the east wouldn’t go. So if a club brings in rent a players, what’s the big deal? It’s within the rules. And you now know where you stand with the coach and club. Just go find another club.
The WSYL team for any club should be comprised of the best players who fit the age requirement, as long as they play for the club during the tourney season. It’s within the rules and it’s fair. For example, if a kid plays up, he should be allowed to play on age his rising 8th grade year. Rules are there for a reason. And the best kids on age from any club should play. And if your kid isn’t good enough to play, work harder or stay home. A spot at the WSYL isn’t part of your tuition.
Agreed on the above post...

Thanks Captain Obvious. It's not a grade based tourney. It's age based. Teams in other states have two tryouts. One for summer season and one for WSYL. LI will do that next year I'm sure. Cha-ching! $$

What’s the big deal . Wow. That’s the problem . It’s suppose to be the best team over the last few years. Not let’s get as many new players to win a tournament , including kids from out of state. . Now the tournament has no meaning . If you want to improve your team with local kids , I am all for that , but pulling kids from other states just destroys everything the tournament is suppose to represent. Now the tournament is Meaningless .

Hence why he said “age requirement”, Genius. On LI, most boys within the age requirement will be rising 8th graders.

It supposed to be? I didn’t read that anywhere. Lol, how does make sense when it’s age based. Newsflash..., the rest of the world plays grade all year and this is the one age event. People selectively forget that. There is finally a tourney that is completely balanced and devoid of holdbacks and people find issue because clubs are trying win it. Every team should stack and make ithe best U13 team they can. It will further improve the tourney. If a team isn’t adding young 2023s, they shouldn’t go.. Shocked that Maryland, Pa and Mass haven’t done this yet.
The above post is 100% spot on. The clubs should send their best on age players, despite what team they play for during the summer.

so than its the best club not team, i get you. Thanks for proving my point that it is all about the clubs and the money they make. NOT the best TEAM. think of it this way.

Players need to live within 50 miles of the team's practice location. And yes, they check. You will need to send in birth certificates and report cards. Age-based tournaments are not restricted by grade. Teams have been putting together WSYL tournaments teams since the second year. The fringe players on teams going to qualifiers will be relegated to bench players. My only advice is to be selective and smart with your team choice next year. The tournament is only worth it if your team wins. That means, if you're not on Express, don't bother.

The distance criteria is 100 miles, not 50 miles. Multiple PA kids are playing on 2024 LI teams this year. You just lost all credibility as a self proclaimed expert on the subject.

Top MD teams have 3 to 4 on age players on their roster. None of those teams could ever go.

What teams are these PA kids playing for? This is not meant to be rude, but I don't know of many PA kids that I've seen that would play on any of the top 4 2024 LI teams. Furthermore, Brotherly Love's '24 team is very good. They are probably top 5 in that tournament. If they're not good enough to play for them, they're not making the LI teams. I think you might be mistaken. Or you're just making things up, which is more likely the case.
I predict Express takes home the WSYL next year and 91 gets knocked out in a semi-final without making it to the ship. All other LI teams lose in pool play.
How is Coach Vicari's Igloo B team. I saw them in the fall once and they looked great. Were they able to fill there rosters with solid players?

Express and Express North are the top teams right now, obviously. And the gap is fairly comfortable. But it's impossible to predict because 91 or Igloo or rebels, etc.. could, and very likely will, add 5-6 new players next year. They may be enough to change the landscape of the division. Unless Express does the same.

Why isn't Geese in this conversation? I thought they were one of the better teams.
Obviously??!? Haha! I’m happy this thread is about to be resurrected from the dead!

Those teams are busy taking the kids who don't see the field on Express. No player with talent is leaving Express and any new top talent will go to Express.

The tournament is only worth it if your team wins. That means, if you're not on Express, don't bother.


The distance criteria is 100 miles, not 50 miles. Multiple PA kids are playing on 2024 LI teams this year. You just lost all credibility as a self proclaimed expert on the subject.


What teams are these PA kids playing for? This is not meant to be rude, but I don't know of many PA kids that I've seen that would play on any of the top 4 2024 LI teams. Furthermore, Brotherly Love's '24 team is very good. They are probably top 5 in that tournament. If they're not good enough to play for them, they're not making the LI teams. I think you might be mistaken. Or you're just making things up, which is more likely the case.


Nope. HHH midi/faceoff kid is playing for Express. And best player from Bro Love is on Wolfpack this year. Both are within 100 miles. I believe both kids are on their regular team roster, not just for the WSYL.

Express and Express North are the top teams right now, obviously. And the gap is fairly comfortable. But it's impossible to predict because 91 or Igloo or rebels, etc.. could, and very likely will, add 5-6 new players next year. They may be enough to change the landscape of the division. Unless Express does the same.


Everything will change for the WSYL next year. Almost no team will go with their regular roster. Completely separate WSYL try-outs. Clubs create WSYL-only teams just for this tourney. They use all of the Fall babies from their older team, which this year would mean their '23 team, and next year it will be the '24's. They'll also grab kids (again usually Fall babies, ie younger holdbacks) from teams that aren't going, if they think they can help them. This practice was started and perfected by the Express organization. Now, almost every team does this, to one degree or another. They are all pick-up teams, so they really aren't "teams" at all. As far as I know, there is only one '24 team that is not doing this, meaning they are playing with the same team all year long, from Fall through the summer and the WSYL, and that's 91 Wolfpack. But that is literally the only team doing this. Coincidentally, they are the favorite to win this year. So when you think of "teams" that are going to compete for the WSYL next year, they are not teams as you know them today. They are pickup teams.

Agreed. I know a few '24's with fall 06 birthdays that would easily qualify for the WSYL next year. If they chose to go that route, they would be total game changers for the '25 team that they play for. Any above average '25 team would become the best '25 team anywhere, literally overnight. No exaggeration. And that could actually happen with these kids that I know. So don't get too hung up on what your kids team has done in the past, next years WSYL is completely different.

Actually,the first year, 2020 teams, was won by Crush. They played together forever. Then Legacy exploited the age loophole and won with their kids ‘20-‘21 team. Express did the same the next year and won with their ‘21-‘22 team. Last year, most teams took older kids except for the Bandit, who one with their normal team. With that being said, their are no teams from ‘24 down that are close to as dominant as Crush or Bandits. If teams want a real shot at winning, they will need to bring in the fall birthdays. I don’t know of any LI club that holds separate tryouts, though. Not yet. They do that in NJ and PA.

91’s home field is in Holtsville. That’s about 150 miles from Philadelphia. Brotherly Love is based out of Philly. I suppose it’s possible, but I doubt it’s true. I know a few WP dads. I think they would have mentioned that. I’m calling your BS.

I suggest if you are calling anyone, you should call the Wolfpack dads you know. Not fake news. And 91 has no ofilliation with Holtsville. Zero. Not sure where you got that from. They are now based in Commack. And distance is measured “as the crow flies”.

From what I heard, Express had a separate tryout this year. And, since 91 is going with their regular team again this year, sounds like you give them no shot at winning it. Everyone I know, says they are the favorite this year.

Express did not have a separate tryout this year. They may next year though. I fully believe that that’s the direction it’s going. Clubs will somehow get parents to pay an extra $2k for a supplemental team in addition to the $4k they’re paying for the standard team. But they didn’t do it this year. And I don’t think WP will win if they don’t bring in ringers. They’re a very good team, but have never been as dominant as the other two mentioned. Legacy is known for bringing in game changers every year. I’m sure they will again. Look for the trend to continue next year with our guys. Express will absolutely stack their roster, as will Express North. Geese will be back in the fold and very likely another team will make a push this year. If 91 or any other want to even be competitive they will need to follow suit.

It's disengenous to call it an "age loophole". This tournament is age-based. For this upcoming summer, players are eligible if they regularly play with the team (this is defined in the rules), live within 100 miles of the home field of the team, and are born on or after 9/1/2005. There is no reference to grade or graduation year. The kid can be Doogie Howser and already in medical school, left back 3 times and be in 4th grade, or not go to school at all. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that he or she be born on or after 9/1/2005, and meet the other two non-age/grade eligibility requirements.
isn't this the 2025 board? why is the discussion about WSYL??
I'm new to the site and have read all 64 pages of comments that have been posted. It seems that most of you have drank way to much of the club Kool-Aid and are completely brainwashed that anything that happens in the 6th grade really matters much. I'm a parent of a player who is on a club team (and was a member of the infamous 91 ICE team). The main focus at this age should only be the training that these kids receive to play the game. Parents will move there kids from team to team because they want to be part of a "winning" team when the only reward will be a $7.00 T shirt. What good is watching the best kids on the team play most of the game while your little "johnny" warms the bench and gets to play the last two minutes of a game? Training, Training, and Training is all that matters at this level. When these kids hit the 7th grade and some new kid that's never played club lacrosse joins the middle school team and blows away some of the club players you'll ask yourself, Why did I pay $16,000 for the past 4 years???? Your kid should be more concerned with how good can I be rather than how good are my teammates. A team, B team means nothing more than $$$$$ for the directors of these clubs.
+1. I'm relatively new to the site as well. My son plays on a club team in the Mid-Atlantic area that is High B/Low to mid A (depending on the kids do that day, they’re a 2025 team – 6th grade at this point in time). My son loves it there and I have no problem schlepping him 45 minutes each way to practice twice a week during the summer and then 1-2 hours to the tournaments. The focus with this team is development. They give equal playing to all the kids (about 17-19) who end up making the team (I would say about 25-30 kids try out and don’t make the team, it doesn't seem like a money grab). The coaches send e-mails out before the tournaments stating that they don’t care how many games they win, it really doesn’t matter. The practices are well-oiled machines. Skill development, defensive positioning and instruction and then about 20 minutes of scrimmage to apply what they’ve learned. During the games, if a kid makes a bad mistake, they’ll pull him out, give instruction on the sideline, and then immediately put him back in to apply what they just been taught. My son loves it there. Don’t know how far my son will go in the future, if he’ll make the HS team here or not (it’s a really strong program where we are) or if he’ll get any playing time there, but we’re just trying to enjoy the moment and get some good father/son time along the way. I do enjoy this site. Some of the comments are a little crazy, but it’s a good to get a sense as what’s out there and what the dynamics are like on and off the field.

Training is for sure very important. We are in agreement there. But I do have to say that the level of skill of the other players on your team is just as important. A few years back, my son made a top travel team at this age group. At that time, he was an good player, but was probably at the bottom of the team from a skill level. He was however, athletic and smart. Playing with boys who were bigger and better just upped his level of play over the years. His development has been fun to watch, as well as the development of his teammates. Had my son played for a lower level team, I do not believe his skills would have developed as they have. But yes, training is a big part of it. Good luck to your son.
Did you really just reference a team from 91 and that gives you some sort of expertise backing? You are a major db.
I agree with your perspective on the importance of training however you're missing a few VERY key components. As I've tried to drill into my kids, Practice makes Permanent... not perfect. Who's training your kid or kids? If you're knowledgeable enough and have the time to do it yourself (3 to 5 days a week), congratulations! If you're not... are you paying a professional trainer? Because if you have a 4th, 5th or 6th grade kid who can train on their own at the level needed to get significantly better then WOW! That kid will be special. Otherwise you're spending more money on a personal trainer, or your kid isn't improving from JUST the training.

I know some "lower level" clubs and even town programs have some excellent coaches... but the reality of the matter is the better clubs have the better coaching. Additionally, when you surround yourself (or your kid in this instance) with better players, then the coach can demand more, push the kids harder and faster, etc... hence your kid is going to develop at the game faster, be better, and gets the better "training" at practice and in games. NOW, if you want your kid to be in the top 5%, then yes, you also need to do additional independent training in addition to learning and playing the game. But (personal opinion), to state that they ONLY need to train at the ages up to 6th grade seems a little obtuse. UNLESS, you are paying thousands of dollars on private training that incorporates sport specific training, etc. Which kind of defeats your point of paying thousands of dollars to play club...

Just another opinion smile

Only a very small handful of the top kids in 6th grade will remain the top kids by 9th grade. Puberty is a game changer and natural athletes rise to the top. Training can only take a player so far, then size and ability become to main factors of success.

With that being said, their are no teams from ‘24 down that are close to as dominant as Crush or Bandits. If teams want a real shot at winning, they will need to bring in the fall birthdays. I don’t know of any LI club that holds separate tryouts, though. Not yet. They do that in NJ and PA.


Completely false about Express.



Funny, every time I've seen a Maryland team beat a long island team the excuse is that Maryland kids are all hold backs...... What's that saying about glass houses?

Express and Express North are the top teams right now, obviously. And the gap is fairly comfortable. But it's impossible to predict because 91 or Igloo or rebels, etc.. could, and very likely will, add 5-6 new players next year. They may be enough to change the landscape of the division. Unless Express does the same.


Everything will change for the WSYL next year. Almost no team will go with their regular roster. Completely separate WSYL try-outs. Clubs false create WSYL-only teams just for this tourney. They use all of the Fall babies from their older team, which this year would mean their '23 team, and next year it will be the '24's. They'll also grab kids (again usually Fall babies, ie younger holdbacks) from teams that aren't going, if they think they can help them. This practice was started and perfected by the Express organization. Now, almost every team does this, to one degree or another. They are all pick-up teams, so they really aren't "teams" at all. As far as I know, there is only one '24 team that is not doing this, meaning they are playing with the same team all year long, from Fall through the summer and the WSYL, and that's 91 Wolfpack. But that is literally the only team doing this. Coincidentally, they are the favorite to win this year. So when you think of "teams" that are going to compete for the WSYL next year, they are not teams as you know them today. They are pickup teams.

Express CoachC wins the WSYL next year. The five other teams from the region will spend a combined 2 million dollars to go to Denver anyway. Parents are dumb and the whole business of youth lacrosse is built around that.

100% accurate about Express. Last year there were 22's and 23's. This year will be 23's and 24's. Next year there will be 24's and 25's. However, all teams are going to do that, 91 included. As a matter of fact, 91 did that with their team 2 years ago. They were mix of 22's and 21's. It's not a bad thing if that tournament is the most important one of your team's season. The issue comes into play when those teams are playing their older kids in spring and summer tourneys and are pretending that they're not grade based. That's flat out cheating and it's going to happen. 100%.

Wrong. The 2022 team that won was the 2022 team.

Because if you have a 4th, 5th or 6th grade kid who can train on their own at the level needed to get significantly better then WOW! That kid will be special. Otherwise you're spending more money on a personal trainer, or your kid isn't improving from JUST the training.

I know some "lower level" clubs and even town programs have some excellent coaches... but the reality of the matter is the better clubs have the better coaching. Additionally, when you surround yourself (or your kid in this instance) with better players, then the coach can demand more, push the kids harder and faster, etc... hence your kid is going to develop at the game faster, be better, and gets the better "training" at practice and in games. NOW, if you want your kid to be in the top 5%, then yes, you also need to do additional independent training in addition to learning and playing the game. But (personal opinion), to state that they ONLY need to train at the ages up to 6th grade seems a little obtuse. UNLESS, you are paying thousands of dollars on private training that incorporates sport specific training, etc. Which kind of defeats your point of paying thousands of dollars to play club...

Just another opinion smile


Only a very small handful of the top kids in 6th grade will remain the top kids by 9th grade. Puberty is a game changer and natural athletes rise to the top. Training can only take a player so far, then size and ability become to main factors of success.


Natural athletes will always have a role, but when 8th grade hits, size rules all else. Guys, look in the mirror. If you're 5'4", your kid is probably peaking this year or next. Now look at your wife. If she is 5'1" or under, your kid has a very good chance of being tiny and, again, probably at the height of his game.
Wow Express O'Reilly really started the tournament season with lackluster performance
Anyone north of Philadelphia going to challenge Express CoachC this year? Express North probably has the best shot. Not sure 91 is keeping pace. Did anyone else improve much?

With the level of talent he has had in the last couple of years, it is what it is. Money grab? Isn't all of this a money grab?

North did not beat Express CoachC. Not sure why they would be ranked higher than 91. 91 beat CoachC last year. And I’m pretty sure 91 beat North, too. North did beat 91, but I think it was in the fall. So I don’t think the separation is as significant as you would like to believe. But all will be answered soon enough.

In another month all these teams will battle it out on the field at Blatant. I am sure many of the teams have improved, depth is the question. I guess the only team that wont be there is 91, go figure.
Pretty sure 91 will be at Blatant. Go figure.

Shammy (pun) will load his team with "age eligible" 2025's to showcase for WSYL and win it all. If the rest of the clubs follow suit, shame on them, too. It's bad enough the kids stress every year about making clubs they played with for years. Now they have to worry about older kids taking their spot so the clubs can brag about their WSYL placing. It's a shame that development of team play has taken a back seat to travelling all stars for profit. Yes we're bitter. I thought we were role players on a loyal club until a bunch of coaches kids friends moved in and took our spot. Same club that preached commitment are the ones that have players show 1/2 the practices and still start.

This is a serious question.....why do you stay? He only cares about winning. And it seems as If a lot of the parents also only care about winning. Why don’t you try out for another team? I wish you good luck. No one wants to devote the time and money to be disappointed and angry. Maybe the grass actually is greener in this instance.

NEWSFLASH. It will happen with all clubs. They'll claim they're playing by the rules. All the rosters will turn over and 8th graders will be playing with 7th. As for the commitment comment every club has their "all stars" who show up sometimes and still start. If your kid is happy let it go. If not move on.

Same comment comes out every year. True Blue is better than [insert team name here]
Let's save the entire forum the TB commentary. Here is how the season will go:
- TB will win their first tournament or 2 because they will go into B tourneys (or their own) against weak competition
- TB will get beat down when they try to play decent competition
- TB will then close out the season with another weak tourney to win so they can show the helicopter dads can feel good that little johnny is a winner again. Will immediately run home and sign up for next season tryouts

I give TB credit for at least stepping up and trying to play against stronger competition, but they just aren't at that level so stop with the narrative
Looks like 91 just registered for Blatant Spring Jam per tourney machine. Great field of teams. Should be a fun tourney, especially with no travel off L.I. !

No competion in 2025 for Express. Isn't it obvious by now? Why should Express continue beating the same teams over and over and over again ... enjoy the t-shirt. It's a gift.

You lost to 91 last summer and then in box this winter. They haven’t beaten that team over and over and over. And before you even say it.....yes, box is different, your top players weren’t there, blah blah blah. Save it until you beat 91 in a tourney.

That's pretty much true and I get it but you don't have to be an arrogant butt about it. Although last year they did lose a few games and a had a horrendous showing in Connecticut. But clearly they are the best 2025 team around.
Any Express parent who says they aren’t nervous when the team plays 91 is flat out lying. Even that pompous arse boasting above.
How about True Blue getting SMOKED this weekend... Guess that trip to Penn was well worth it LOL

If Express just plays their top 12 they are the best team, not unbeatable, every team is beatable. THe only nervous parents are the one that still have to convince themselves that playing 5 minutes or less is worth it.

Who is 91 again? The team that plays in 91 tournaments to win t-shirts and keep their wacko parents paying while their club double dips on every tournament? Have you ever even played a MD team? Have fun at laxfest. 91 parents are so dumb its no wonder why the team has struggled for years. Keep looking at bandits and wolfpack wishing it was your sons team. It aint but you keep cuting those checks and dreaming ... one day ... one day ... theyll all be sorry they made fun of us all those years.

No we won't. Bunch of chumps. "Hey do you remember that one time we beat Express by a goal?" "Yeah man, that was great. How many years ago was that? I can't count past 10 with my shoes on. Pass me another beer."

And who are you? Yeah I got it Ty, when you are scouting this CoachC team only the wins count.

The loss at CoachC ‘s own tourney when they had tthe easy bracket ? Let’s not talk about that. The kids who didn’t play a second in the box tourney in those two defeats? The near loss to rebels, doesn’t matter either. Shhhhhhh don’t say anything people might see what’s behind the curtain.

Honestly the bitterness is telling of the background of this persons opinion is very telling. Maybe his little all star got cut or saw zero playing time because they didn't see how special little Anonymous Jr. is. The joke of it is that next year with Middle School Lax starting club becomes less important. There are some kids that weren't all stars all of a sudden become that great player and quick n' tiny kiddies all of a sudden can't hang because they get trucked. Express starters are good, no doubt and see 75-90% of the playing time as they should. So an 11-12 yr old isn't an all start at lacrosse OH MY THE HORROR. That could change... they may just like playing the game and their talent lies elsewhere. Who the heck cares.... Who cares if someone spends THEIR own money on a club team THEY choose.... maybe a lot of $$ to you but not others. And frankly who / what makes you an authority on anything? Let the kids play and have fun, you adults take the BS way more seriously than the kids do.
Play a team from Maryland? Why? Can just play CoachC with his 7th grade kids. 2024 is their correct bracket, isn’t it?

And CoachC isn’t taking your $ running to play everyone who has an event driving to the middle of nowhere so they return the favor. Even the dumbest of you know what is going on.

And who are you? Yeah I got it Ty, when you are scouting this CoachC team only the wins count.

The loss at CoachC ‘s own tourney when they had tthe easy bracket ? Let’s not talk about that. The kids who didn’t play a second in the box tourney in those two defeats? The near loss to rebels, doesn’t matter either. Shhhhhhh don’t say anything people might see what’s behind the curtain.


So typical of Blastards. Hanging their hat on box wins when they're the only team that practices it. LOL! That's hysterical! Everyone knows that box doesn't matter to anyone but 91.

It’s like challenging a ping pong player to a game of tennis. A win in box doesn’t translate to field wins.

Just play us and stfu.
If box doesn’t matter, why would Express enter box tourneys? Why would Express not play their second line when they played 91 in the tourney? Because box matters. And the parents wanted to win.

Seriously they should make a rule in all youth sports that you cannot coach on a team or program if your kid plays for it. Causes SOOOOOO many problems and screws a lot of kids
Ping pong is an Olympic sport

How was the play day yesterday on LI? scores?
28-29 players, 12-13 play 90% of the game.
Coach C had 29 kids on the field yesterday at a play-day vs North, BBL, and Maddog. Didn't help as he obviously needs to tighten up his D.
seems like C'25 has lost their mojo

So why do you pay $3,500 to not play? Makes no sense!
How so? They haven't lost in years.

It's only about winning to you. You must be financially invested if that's your attitude. It's about the kids and gaining experience for their future.
Morgan beat CoachC 11-8. Otherwise, no surprises.
What does winning or losing have to do w/ financial investment? I'm just admitting there's a NEW #1 2025 team out there.
Everyone knows that the Geese are the team to beat!

It's a play day. A scrimmage. You know, where coaches evaluate the players, try new things, see what's working and what isn't. The score is meaningless.

Psssst! It seems like they have been losing quite a bit. Years? No.

Lost last year at their own event, lost over the winter, lost in the Spring.
Seems like the Mojo is gone.
That's laughable. These guys play to win every time they step on the field.

Typical 91 daddy. I can't wait to see your face after you lose in Denver next year. Then to listen to the excuses, the justifications. It will be like sweet music. If your team doesn't blow up, again, by then.

What excuses? And are you moving on to next year already? By then everything will be changed again, so let’s talk about now. What everyone but you can see is that your team is losing games and that is bad for business. So watch your back because Coach is going to be replacing all of the prodigies with bigger, older boys. You will be lucky if you and Jr make it to Denver at all.

And don’t expect jr. to play if you do get there.

Not a single person on the grade level thinks 91 is better than express. None. You keep bringing up a box tournament. 91 practices box all winter for the last 3-4 years. We don’t. We enter a tournament because it’s something to do. Last time we played you on the field you were embarrassed. Completely embarrassed. It was like playing 2026’s. Please. Give it up. We know you guys will play in a bunch of trash tournaments and avoid playing us more than once, but hey, I’m sure the t-shirts look great.

Blatant. Enough said. Play 91 or stop boasting like the arrogant a** you are
91 has all the top teams from 2023-2027, with the exception of 2025. Express is the best team whether they win every game or lose a few.

We? Us? Dude, you don’t play.
And I think the teeny tiny boys just lost to North.
And please, coach C has spent a lot of time having those boys playing weak teams to pad the stats.
That Mesa play date was a HUUUGE challenge those games have really helped the team improve!
What a joke.
The one thing for sure is CoachC doesn't seek out "weak teams". You are completely misinformed, he would rather play a competitive game 7 days a week and twice on Sunday vs a blowout. They'll go anywhere to play anybody. And if they lose, oh well. It just gives parents of other teams something to talk about, as they anxiously tap away on tourney machine looking for results that have nothing to do with their kids team.
You could include the 2028 team for 91 as well
100%. Proven by the fact that they play in '24 tourneys and '25 play days against guys like North.
Is CoachC playing in the B bracket at spring lax jam?

I heard CoachC was afraid to face Express North again, he asked to be put in separate bracket.
Why aren’t they separating the teams into an A and B bracket? And they need 2 separate championships

It's set up for Express to meet 91 in the championship... so we will see who's best for now

If they did that CoachC and his HB's would have no one to beatup on.
LOL. It's set up for Express C to meet Express North in final.

At least we know what 91s excuse will be this time.
This is such a poor job by mylaxtourneys in setting this up. There is enough A teams to play in a separate bracket, Express, Express North, 91, And BBL should be in their own bracket.
I couldn’t agree more, how can we make this happen? Should we call or email them?

It can still change, schedules almost always change.
Anyone know of summer lacrosse leagues on Long Island for youth players?
the schedule is usually set by now, I doubt they change it, although they should. Maybe they’ll feel pressured to
No changes were made and just terrible some of these scores today. Clearly could had a solid A and B division. I know it’s travel, but c’mon these are B teams. I suspect a few of those clubs will think twice about which tournaments to enter in the future.
Ahem.
I blame mylacrossetournament for not having an A and B bracket. Parents spend a lot of money and they should get competitive games. Those people should be ashamed of themselves. They just wanted a 91 - express final and didn’t care about the other teams. I hope people complain
That must have stung!!!

They have to actually play someone to be able to answer that! They still have some talent left on that team but not enough to compete with the CoachC/Express North or 91 group. Hopefully those boys are getting the training to make them better lacrosse players because if they aren't they need to move on.

Both teams shortened the bench in the final, as they should. This may sound harsh, but if junior didn't play in that final, chances are he's on the way out when they stack the team for Denver. Enjoy that $8000 season to watch him sit next year.

it's NOT cheating, just because Little Jr. isn't growing and the bigger kids that were uncoordinated and slow are now more competitive than Little Jr. and he's spending half the game on the ground doesn't mean anyone is cheating. On the bright side there's always soccer, knitting, or badminton for Little Jr.
1 win and 2 losses ‘nuff said!

My son plays on a North Jersey team, we have a number of pre-first and we don't have the January school cutoff date. Express North was much bigger than us and the MD teams we play. Is there a powerplant on that part of LI that makes them hit puberty early?

And that was a guy from North Jersey. That's a Blastard trying to minimize the Express North team. The truth is, EN draws from a very large area (including Conneticut). They have their choice of kids, so obviously they will select the biggest and most skilled boys available to them.
And still get beat
And still lose
If they are on grade, it isn’t cheating. But just don’t come on here and say there are not holdbacks on that team. Please. And a significant amount of them.

Perhaps you should put that in the 2026 thread then???
Who's ready for Igloo to bring in some ringers for tomorrow? Will have 2 young 2024 players with them because they can play in the u13 with them next summer
Why was Geese in the A bracket?
My bad. Sorry.

If you're going to enter tourneys, at least get all your kids the same uniforms!

Absolutely agree. Even outside the "A" bracket.
Granted, there is a dramatic step down from the teams in "A" to the teams in "B". But it is nice to see the amount of teams that participated. Should make for a nice summer season.

Amazing. Let's bring in some ringers so we can qualify for the WSYL. Let's also pay an extra $3,000 to play the same teams in Denver that we see here every weekend on Long Island. You people are nuts. Save your money to pay for your new leased Range Rover.
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.

So nice of you to put it out on every single boys thread. Really appreciate it. Made it so much easier to find out!

So did CoachC beat Hawks in the final? Not posted on TM. I heard the Blastards at the field making every excuse under the sun as to why their superstars got smoked. I’m glad I had my kayak with me, because I was able to paddle home on a river of Blastard tears! Lol!

Lol! No need to recruit. Champs! They should roll from here to the WSYL next summer.
91 parents should be very concerned right now. They didn’t look bad, but definitely did not look like a top team. There’s just not enough size on that team to compete with the elite level clubs.

.

They looked lost out there. Almost scared. Hopefully for the boys it was just a speed bump and they will figure it out. I think size is definitely an issue though.
Concerned about what? They can’t be the best team? Just a really good team. That’s what wrong with all this nonsense. The team loses or doesn’t play well and it’s blasphemy?

Only to the Blastards. They need a suicide watch on the parents today.

Problem with this sport is everyone psycho-analyzes every weekend like it is the end of the world. So a team lost this weekend. It's up to them now to identify why they lost, fix it in practice and improve for the next tournament. It is called coaching & development. I'll put my money on 91 to get it right. Demonstrated track record.
The ideal team is a just a team where kids are players, not superstars, but can catch and throw, and solid coaching. Problem is all the parents of the kids that can play, need them on an A team. There are no more B teams anymore. It’s the A team and then something between A and C.

Those over the top parents have scared away everyone. Not only do they talk trash about other teams, they put down players on their own team. It’s that pompous attitude that chases away talent.
Fix in practice, coaching, development. You must be new.

Just look at what happened to Geese!
who wins li lax fest this weekend?
How is 2025 Igloo. Looks like they typically win at tournaments, but they look to be weaker competition tournaments. Do they ever play 91, Express, Express North, Laxachussetts, Hawks, etc?
Why arguing between Express and Ninety One? At least they play good competition. They're both good. How about calling the the BS like True Blue - rather True BS. They stack a tournament where it's their team vs. C maybe D level teams then parade around when they win. Hilarious! Why aren't they playing in Laxfest ???? maybe because they got smoked last few times. What a joke
Let's keep it positive. Did anyone watch the Express vs Hawks first game on Sunday, before the final? Probably one of the most exciting youth games I have ever seen. About 15 min of sudden death back and forth lacrosse with kids selling out and both teams having a chance to win it. Some great players out on the field and exactly what youth lacrosse should be like. Both groups of parents showed excellent sportsmanship and respect for one another, again exactly what youth sports should be about. I would watch those 2 teams play everyday if I could. Great game and great competition!

There were also some other great games and teams there at this level. Laxachusetts was very good, 91 LI well coached. Some serious competition all around this past weekend.

Igloo is lower tier A team. They do not win competitive tournaments and to the best of my knowledge have never beaten 91 or Express.
Who cares.... I laugh at all these crazy parents on here talking how great their 6th grade team is .. just a HEADS UP IT MEANS nothing the kids will all find their way in the end ... As long as you kid is having fun and enjoying himself then that is all that matters so sit in your chair and just encourage your son believe me it goes fast just enjoy the moment

Heard a rumor of teams having to submit proof of players grade (current school report card) like they do for PAL football because of all the complaints that tournament officials are receiving. Any team caught cheating risks tournament disqualification or banned from trying out for Denver wsyl

Its the tourney directors that run the clubs.
Quick CoachC, hide the 7th grader! He is small, it should be easy enough.

Lol!! Tournament directors don’t care about that at all!! Lol! They just want to fill their brackets! And since 91 and Express run most of the tourneys, you know they won’t look to change anything! Do you see how many teams are at Laxfest?? There are almost 300. At probably $1500 per team, that tourney is bringing in almost $500K. You really think they’re going to change anything? You’re hysterical! And don’t even get me started on all of the out of state teams!
That’s 100 percent true. Nobody is changing anything. You can’t even get a parking spot at farmingdale. 100s of teams paying top dollar, nobody is walking around looking at report cards.

Not my boy! Not with these coaches! So after this car wreck loss, what do these stand up guys do? Rip the kids! What a despicable and disgusting thing to do!

This is their team and they have created it as they wanted with friends and family getting preference while falling in love with so called stars and their new toys on both ends of the field who couldn’t produce. This is all on 91. Plain and simple, I can’t lie to you. These gentlemen should apologize to each one of these boys individually, but they wouldn’t know how to find the courage to do what is right. Three more events and we are moving on.
When is Express going to stop using kids in older grades? They aren’t even holdbacks in 2025 - they are 2024s!!! Cheating. Plain and simple.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. There are some 2026's on that team. No 2024's.

Great weekend of lacrosse. A well run tourney. Refs weren't great but didn't change any outcome. Igloo had a tough call to end game but could have gone either way, and I'm not an Igloo parent. CoachC had impressive weekend.

There is at least one 2024 and most people know his name, number and position. It is what it is but dont make notIntelligent statements. Just ignore the chatter about it and move on.

I assume he's age eligible to play with the 2025 group next year for WSYL? If that's the case, no issues with him playing with 2025's now. The whole graduation year classification is for the High School age groups, so college coaches know what/who they're looking at for recruiting purposes. At the youth level all it does is promote people complaining about kids playing outside of their graduation year classification. If parents really want their older kid playing down with younger kids, well, all the better for the younger kids to play against better competition, and too bad for the older kid when he gets to high school.
The unstoppable elite AA 91 team, I guess not so unstoppable after all. 😂🤣😂🤣
Parents better be ready to move to their B team. Looks like they will need to do more overhauling.
🤣😂🤣😂

This is correct. It is based on expected year of graduation. He’ll be playing on the WSYL team next. These complaints are getting more and more useless when looking at the current landscape of youth lacrosse. How many kids from 91 are from out of state? Every team has holdbacks, whether you want to admit it on not. National teams popping up everywhere. It’s disgraceful and really too bad for the kids. The parents get so caught up in the machine that they can’t what it’s doing to the kids.

Also, maybe Express is just doing it so they don’t lose to town teams like some other club. Lol!
No way could he play next year.

The 91 Director who runs the team can't direct LaxinItUp. Blame's the kids for loses when he should be looking in the mirror like an adult. He thinks if he brings in fresh kids at tryouts that will change but it won't because he's the problem.

100 percent correct, shows up when he feels like it and by being there screws up the kids an then yells at them. A total coward. Plays his friends kids and his favorites and it has burned him.. Kids who are favored take the privilege and not the responsibility that comes with it so they point fingers at the others just like he does. There are some very good players there and he should tell each of them how sorry he is for screwing this up. Epic Fail!!!!!

Lol. Really. The 2025 Express team is the best team around in the grade. They will win the rest of the summer and next years WYSL. I am sure the 91 drama is probably an ant hill and not a mountain, but Express will likely pick up the best ones, if any, that leave. Every other Li team would be a step back.

91 AA coaches have micromanaged the team all year. This isn’t a college team. I realize that everyone needs to play, but in close games they need to play their best players. That was a game that should have been easy but the coaches had to overthink it. There will be plenty of games that the weaker kids can play in. Knowing the game before was close, that was one that they should’ve stuck with their top players.
Last time i checked it is about minutes at this age not winning T shirts , a kid does not get better by sitting on the bench and watching. If you want to start talking about the Denver trip let me know when you drop $10k and your kid does not step on the field . Keep telling yourself that CoachC is the best .... Good Luck

I can’t wait to hear about the 91 Director going crazy when his friends and family and superstars let HIM down again. Remember that it isn’t HIM and his organization, it’s the kids fault. What a clown.

Why would any club want any of these players and their nut job parents ? Didn’t they run another Coach out a couple of years ago ? You all made your own bed, now wallow in it.

Only in 6th grade and already on their 4th or 5th set of coaches. Time to look at the real problem.

To micromanage you have to practice. How many practices last week? How many this week? How many practices this spring? And then blame the kids! Nothing against the rest of the coaching staff but the donkey at the top is a joke.
91 is a team with depth. That is their greatest strength. Running their first line as long as they did was foolish. Too many talented players riding the bench that game. Just my opinion. Let’s see if the coaches can turn it around this weekend.

91 AA coaches have micromanaged the team all year. This isn’t a college team. I realize that everyone needs to play, but in close games they need to play their best players. That was a game that should have been easy but the coaches had to overthink it. There will be plenty of games that the weaker kids can play in. Knowing the game before was close, that was one that they should’ve stuck with their top players.


To micromanage you have to practice. How many practices last week? How many this week? How many practices this spring? And then blame the kids! Nothing against the rest of the coaching staff but the donkey at the top is a joke.



Just leave and go elsewhere if you’re that unhappy.


There it is! Team 91 has answered. Tell us, are you a paid staffer or one of the high and mighty directors? Are you offering refunds?

So one parent blames the lesser kids for playing and another says he’s playing the wrong kids, ok my sons team would lose to 91, but man I’m so happy he doesn’t play for them.

No one is blaming anyone except the coaches. They are trying to get too cute with the minutes and overthinking. In tight games, you play your best attack. And they need to do more than score. They need to ride and make clean passes. You need to play your best mids. And they need to play on both sides of the midfield line. And you need to play your strongest defenders. Not just big bodies, but fast feet.

So they lost a game, who cares. Overcoached, micromanaged, nonsense. You choose x amount of players and try to develop them as a team. Sure some are better. But all players at 6th grade should see the field with significant minutes to get better. If coaches and programs are only concerned about winds and losses than move on.

CoachC trolls every tourney, every team, every year. Look at the roster turnover year to year. Yes they are the "best", but the chosen ones play and the rest drink the kool aid and pay to travel and watch. Reality check. worry about your kid getting good practices, coaching and development. Isn't that what all the missions statements claim. Sadly not the case for most organizations. Business has taken the pleasure out of the game.
So I'm reading all of the comments regarding 1 game played and 1 game lost by 91 AA and i'm confused why all the hype its just 1 game. Then I'm told it was against a TOWN TEAM!!. Everyone should just calm down even the Top Dogs are allowed to loose a battle once in a while. Unfortunately I think the parents will be putting so much pressure on their boys to win all week that CSH ROAR takes the win again. If that happens 91AA will have a bunch of slots opened on their roster come tryouts because 2 loses is just unacceptable LOL.

The difference is that one is a hand picked club and one is a town team. One costs $4000 plus winter, plus spring and the other is a few hundred. People pay top dollar for elite training and coaching, but also to win. Not to be a laughing stock. Plain and simple. If we didn’t care about winning we would all be in town clubs. The coaches either need to schedule more, and better, practices or step aside and let someone else take over.

They lost the weekend before, going 2-2 and not even getting out of pool play at NLF. 91 Koolaide must be poisonous for children and only work on adults.

What makes this extra crazy is that 91 beat Express CoachC. It’s really unbelievable how many horribly bad losses this team has. I’ve been watching lacrosse for a while and this story is very hard to understand.

I think CSH is not the first town team to beat 91. it happened once or twice before if im remembering right.
It’s time to bring back the Mixed Nuts! That team trashed Express and crushed all the others. And cost only $40.

I would put my money on the Rebel AA moms, they got some Big Over Sized B@#ches on that team!!
This should be interesting tomorrow at least. Eclipse and Mad dog are good teams
CSH is basically Suffolk county...so they are just rebel moms with Mercedes trucks. bring back the nuts!!
OMG CSH isn't on 91s schedule anymore. It was their first game. Cant believe 91 is ducking a town team. Thats embarrassing.

Lol...however you spell it, it’s still dominating. I have this new hammerhead autocorrect. Or is that automatic when referring to Express.
good call on eclipse and mad dog
Fun tourney this weekend. Beautiful weather and some good competition. Congrats to Express on winning the ship. Happy to see Blast have a better weekend. Looking forward to MD. Hope a LI team brings it home!!!!

They were good, no shame to get slapped around by the Blastards. Same with rebels and Express North.
Remember that even though they have had unexplainable losses, Blast has beaten CoachC enough times to know it wasn’t a fluke.

Not sure how they got the "jump" on anyone. Nobody is cracking that roster. CoachC will swap out some players that play insignificant minutes. The grass is never greener. All the nonsense about blowing teams up is nonsense. Who's to say the WSYL even survives until next year. Regions have already lost interest. 3k to play in a July tournament you have no chance of winning, no thanks.

Spoken like somebody who doesn’t want defectors from their sons club. But I doubt they get solid numbers because of that perception.

I was at the Blatant tourney today and today and all summer, it’s amazing that B teams are just not developed anymore. The B division is 2nd tier clubs A teams, town teams, and the B teams are usually the last in class

How is the Express B team not be the best B team. You would think that the best A team would have the best B team?
I have to give high marks to Blatant for that tourney structure this weekend. No goal difference or goals against. Play pool play then a full playoff bracket. Well done.

So everyone is going to jump clubs for their last year of travel lacrosse just so they can say they played at the WSYL? I thought travel was about developing players and teams. Call me crazy but has Igloo won anything, anywhere in the last few years. They get beaten by town and low level B teams.

It comes down to $$ and ego. Sometimes it is better to be at a "weaker" but be their primary focus (and for many, you pay less $$) than go to "stronger" club and be an afterthought on their B team (and overpay for what you get).
How about some honest feedback of B or 2nd tier club teams. For example B teams at 24, Force, Igloo, S2S, Express, 91, rebels and A teams that aren’t AA, Recon, Outlaws, Empire, Hitmen, True Blue, Turtles.

Observations of all those teams that I have seen this summer so far in watching my son (he is on one of these teams). In no particular order:
- Force B - Not impressive at all. Few talented kids. Major dropoff from their A team. Have to wonder how happy parents are. Saw many Force B kids playing with Outlaws this past weekend at Blatant
- Outlaws - Horrendous. To think those people paid near $3K for that. Have they scored 10 goals over the entire summer tournament season? Not counting the goals scored by Force guest players? I don't think so
- 24 - Not sure which is B but Cyclone seemed better than East. Heard club has a bad reputation but kids seemed to play well
- Igloo Flurry / Express B / 91 B - I can only imagine what the directors of these clubs truly think of these teams. At least they're cashing the checks from those parents and can sell them more gear. If I were here, I'd really consider moving on next season and saving some money. Each of those parent are in for north of $4K
- Recon - Probably a shade above a mid level PAL team. Simple offense, struggling defense. Some kids can barely reach each other with passes
- True Blue - Probably the strongest team of the group along with Force A but seem to think they are in the upper level. Not even close.
- Hitmen and rebels - Both similar, couple decent players that can make team competitive. Would rank them behind Force A and True Blue and ahead of the rest
- Empire - Not bad, but not great. Very inconsistent play depending on competition.
- Turtles - They even have a team at this age?
I have seen a lot of the teams that are under express and 91 and they are not at the same level but very good competitive teams. Those teams have some high caliber players bit not enough of them. 2025 has some very good teams and players and they are fun to watch.

There are only 2 top teams in this age group on LI. Express and 91. Every once in a while they'll lose a game but they are heads and shoulders above. Everyone else is playing for third. ROAR continues improve and consistently beat tems like Igloo, TB, Force, etc. IMHO most of the second tier teams are no better than B level squads. The real B teams are disasters. I've seen Express B and Igloo and they are terrible. To think people pay real money for any B team is unbelievable. The talent pool is so diluted there aren't enough players to field quality teams at the A level.

Agreed, Express and then 91. Nobody else comes close. What are the other options? Force? Igloo? It would be nice to get an unbiased assessment of the other teams LI has to offer. AA, A, or B? For organizations that have two teams, do they charge the same tuition? What coaches concentrate on development? This could be a great place to get information instead of the constant bickering.
If your rating teams on wins and loses you are 100 percent correct. Express and 91 are the best. This must be your first child going through this I get it. You just don’t understand. Wins and loses mean little. Sure it’s nice, but it means very little. Ask most of those express and 91 parents if they are happy. I’ll bet half the team isn’t happy. Politics, playing time,back stabbing. No thanks. I’d rather my son win less games. My oldest son just graduated high school, he had a great high school career. He will be playing D1 lax next season. His club team growing up got beat by the top teams all the time. He learned the game. He had fun. Great memories. He had a terrific coach. I wouldn’t change a thing. Good luck to you and your son.

Agreed, kids should quit the sport, or the parents should pay in fake money since it's unbelievable to pay "Real Money". Come on dude, get over yourself. If kids want to play and parents have the ability to pay then so be it, dont be a snob
I totally agree with everything you said!!!

My son plays for S2S and loves it. What drew our attention to the club was the coaching and the fact they he would be helping to build a new squad rather than joining a team that had a lot of history. Also, I have been really happy with the group of parents. Everyone is cool. I have no doubt that every kid on my son's squad will want to stay. They have grown together and will continue to grow. My son isn't a 2025 but I have watched their practices and was very impressed with the coaching. Good luck.

Agreed, Express and then 91. Nobody else comes close. What are the other options? Force? Igloo? It would be nice to get an unbiased assessment of the other teams LI has to offer. AA, A, or B? For organizations that have two teams, do they charge the same tuition? What coaches concentrate on development? This could be a great place to get information instead of the constant bickering.


What information are you looking for? Force, True Blue, Igloo etc, (at 2025), all seem to be nothing more than kids from same school playing on a travel squad with dad coach. Unfortunately that's how most of the teams below the level of 91 and LIE operate. Do your own research on the staff and rosters. You won't find any discounts though, most of the programs are 3000+.

What about Geese? Are they a B or a C team?

There are only 2 top teams in this age group on LI. Express and 91. Every once in a while they'll lose a game but they are heads and shoulders above. Everyone else is playing for third. ROAR continues improve and consistently beat tems like Igloo, TB, Force, etc. IMHO most of the second tier teams are no better than B level squads. The real B teams are disasters. I've seen Express B and Igloo and they are terrible. To think people pay real money for any B team is unbelievable. The talent pool is so diluted there aren't enough players to field quality teams at the A level.


Agreed, kids should quit the sport, or the parents should pay in fake money since it's unbelievable to pay "Real Money". Come on dude, get over yourself. If kids want to play and parents have the ability to pay then so be it, dont be a snob


Exactly. I don't get the mind set that unless a 6th grader (and I repeat, a 6th grader) is an elite athlete destined to play D1, such that he gets to play on a top team, summer lacrosse is a waste of money and time. What should the kid do instead, play video games?

Town/PAL is a very short season. From the time the snow gets off the field, until the very beginning of June when it ends, there is what, at most, 9 weeks of lacrosse? And a lot of rain outs as well. Why not allow the kid to keep playing in June and half of July. Its usually just an extra six weeks of practice and maybe 4 tournaments. And if it is a full year team, and the kid has the time and interest to play, than why not.

My older son has played several years on a travel team that was worse than his town team. So what, he loves it. My younger son is better and plays at a higher level. That's cool also. Neither of them will be the next Paul Rabil.

If club and tournament directors were smart, they would a do a better job marketing towards the more mediocre players (of which there are a ton - for every great player, there are 10 plus ok ones), by doing a better job delineating teams into AAA (really teams that can complete on a national level), AA, A and B, and by switching to birth year as opposed to grade (which would capture more kids by evening out competitiveness across regions/states). The B team's kid's money is just as green as everyone else's.

Those who are involved with travel hockey see how this can work. There are a ton of kids playing travel hockey who are horrendous. So what. The kids love it, and it is just about the best way to occupy their time.

So is Hitmen or Turtles for example than Igloo, 91 or Express B?
BBL WOULD GIVE LEGACY A GOOD BEATING
My guess is 91’s tryout registrations just spiked. And believe me they want the 3 peat.

Of course 91 wants it and if Spallina coached 2025 they’d have a shot but no ones and I mean no one wants to put up with the current director calling the shots at 2025.

Then go to Express and they’ll be a lock to win the North next year. And hopefully other regions step up. One thing about Express is they will always take in better talent.

91 is going to improve at every position. The coaches are well aware of what they need to get the job done and my guess is that they fill those needs. Kids will come out of the woodwork this tryout to get a shot at going to the WSYL, including young 2024’s.

"everyone is cool on s2s" that is not the consensus....you have a few parents who always cause issues on the sidelines. We all know who they are.

Again. As I mentioned my son does not play on the 25 team - so I don't know the parents but the 25 A seems to be a strong unit. We really like S2S.

The 2024s were the best team. It’s hard enough to improve, not mention retain. Making catching up to Express very hard.

Not just young 91 2024’s, but young 24’s from all over will be at tryouts looking for a shot at WSYL. I would bet 6 new players at minimum. As many big midfields as they can load up with, offensive, defensive and LSMs, they will load up with.

That’s definitely the way things are moving. Wolfpack and, before them, Bandits did that very thing and steamrolled everyone in Denver.
Recommend if not already with one of the top 3 or 4 clubs AA team that you find a team that has the best recruiting schedule. Your kids will be there in a blink of the eye. Here are teams after top few to check out. Li rebels , force,rebels , and iglioo. Good luck and enjoy the ride, it goes fast
91 is definitely looking to upgrade. One of the coaches has already have reached out to our top middie. Unfortunately, it’s going to be difficult for some teams to retain their talent.

Why would anybody that is looking for a different team for their son, not go to the top team? Not make the team, actually play and be on ESPN next July.

Why would anyone want to go to a team that hasn’t won a tourney all year? And 91 has played in some fairly weak tourneys and got bounced early. Any quality players will be making Express even stronger. 91 can’t even win on the Island. They’re not winning anything next year.

Not a 91 parent, let’s give credit when do. They just had a nice showing at the Naptown Challenge.
how are the turtles? what kind of year did they have?
does anyone have any info on the tenaciuos turtles? how is their season going?
Everyone is looking to stack up!! I'm sure all the contenders will be getting the 2024's that age qualify for the WSYL.

Some teams already have 2024's that don't qualify already. We all know who.

They're ok but there are about 8-10 teams that are better than them. Not sure if they even won a tournament this year.

91 wins that game by 8-10 and Express by 10-12. Terrible Turtles are a better team name.
Express only had a handful of their regular team at PT
I guess Cold Spring Harbor would beat both of them. Lol!
Only a handful of regular players? Where were the others?
Except that the Geese beat the AA BBL Elite team 9-7 on 7/13/19 despite BBL playing three kids that were a full head taller than anyone else on the field, and who did 100% of the scoring for the team. BBL obviousky felt they could only compete with the pool if they added at least three non age appropriate kids, and they still lost the first game (although they did win the second - success!). But the fact remains: they lost to the Geese despite spiking their roster. Sad they felt they needed to do that. As for LI Express, there was at least one player who was older and one kid who was wearing a “North” jersey at the same tournament. I guess the lesson here is that there are adults who derive meaning in their own lives by being able to say “well, my son plays for _______ and they went [insert record].” And, It’s actually a good life lesson for the kids as well: winning matters most above all, so meet your new teammate, Johnny. I’m sure young Jeffrey Epstein and little Bernie Madoff had parents who were T Shirt chasers, too.
The team was a late addition to the tournament. Before knowing that we were going to go to PT most families took the opportunity to do something other than be on a lacrosse field . Those that were not there didn’t want to change their plans. No biggie, congrats to the team that won it all.

Stop spreading lies and your thinking that bigger/better always mean older. When you see those same kids in next summer's WSYL, what other excuses are you going to come up with. This is not Maryland where holdbacks are a standard. So just relax with the tall tales about teams you know nothing about and just enjoy your kid play. Parents like you must be so much fun to be around in.
genetics-- figure it out. if you were a 5'6" attackman from LI in 1990s, your kid will be a head smaller than many players on good teams...

There still would have been enough LI players to compete without North kids coming down. But why use the bench that pays to be part of the team?

Be a practice player and when your son gets his chance for extra minutes, that you promised will come with hard work, and time is taken by guests players. c’mon folks, lax intervention

Nope....sounds about right to me. CoachC’s strategy is well-known. Especially to his 2nd and 3rd line players (and 4th line). It is how he wins. Fine and good. Totally his prerogative. Just please don’t come on here acting like this isn’t the case.

Da' Nile is just not a river.
I thought igloo was an A team. Why were they in the B bracket at Hershey?
What coaching change?
There is a b team at each graduation year, probably them or maybe 2026 A playing up. Igloo Northface (2025 A) has finished their tournaments for the year. Not playing in Hershey.
None of the 2025 Igloo team was playing at Hershey this past weekend. And the 2026 Igloo team was playing at the 2026 level.
massive numbers at express tonight
He will take 40 kids on team. 23 kids get to watch.

Really? That's strange because I was at practice last night and the all of the team seemed to be there until 8PM.
Smart guy that coach. Making lots of money. Those parents are insane. Even seeing them at tournaments. Those parents seem a bit off. They want to cheer because the team wins, but they can’t cheer because their son didn’t play. So they just stand their looking confused. I’d be confused in that situation too.
1 91 Kid there. Attackman... More than 1/2 the attendees were current players
Every top team doesn’t play kids. Not the clubs fault, they are there to win. Parents need to find the right situation where their son can excel. Are kids getting better just practicing, of course. Is it healthy for the child, probably not. This is 1000% on the parents. They control what club their kid joins and they know going in what the deal is.
Who said it’s the clubs fault. The man is a genius. It’s without question the parents who make the choice.
True story, I ran into my friend at a tournament last summer. My son was playing on another field. In between games I went to say hello and watch his son play. He played for express. I asked him what his son’s jersey number was. He changed the subject. I answered his question, a couple minutes later, I asked again what’s his jersey number. He again immediately changed the subject. I realized at that moment my friend was embarrassed that his son doesn’t play. Then we just talked a few more minutes and I left that field. I just don’t get it. Why put yourself and your son through that.
Just wait until he snags a few more younger 2024's and the playing time is cut for even more kids.

That's not a coaching chge. That's just a different dad being an assistant coach.
Same head coach of Geese for years.
Stop making ridiculous comments.
Concentrate on the problems on your own team 91 dad.
There is a lot for you to wrap your head around right at home.
Stop lashing out at other teams because your upset your kid didnt get any tshirts this year.
Daddy ball is on lots of teams.
Kinda off topic but I just picked up my son from the Millon Lacrosse Camp at LIU Post. Not only did he have an amazing time but he said he learned a ton. It's unfortunate travel has taken away from Summer Lax camps.

My kid does travel and still does lax camp. He did LILA earlier this summer and loved it. I have heard good things about Millon as well. May try it next year.

My kid does travel and still does lax camp. He did LILA earlier this summer and loved it. I have heard good things about Millon as well. May try it next year.


How about golf camp or basketball camp?
I'm sure this has been covered before but why do parents allow their sons to play on AA team when all they do is ride the pine? Wouldn't you rather have your son play on a competitive A team where they'll see a lot of PT? Makes no sense to me.

Practices and player development you hope.
What program(s) are you referring to?
Development at the expense of confidence and self worth...is that a fair trade?

It is if the kid has bought in and sees his own progress.
I honestly believe the biggest issue is equal treatment of teams. Parents I think are okay with pine riding if for the same cost it’s more practice, more tourneys than a B team. They’ll look and said I can’t believe I did that. Call me selfish or weird, but I love my son play in game and succeed.

Not a fair trade-off in my eyes. Your son should get true "development" from any reputable A team coaching staff.
There are plenty of trainers to practice. Go where he plays is my opinion.
The thought of spending thousands to be part of a team. To spend 7,8 summer weekends on hot lacrosse fields. To lug equipment bags, water, gatorades, snacks, chairs, spending 7 hours on a field. Paying for hotels a couple more times in the summer. Sometimes lining up babysitters for your other kids at home, sometimes taking them, even though they will be bored.
If you can do all of the above and be ok with your son not playing. You are a much better man than me.
Hey 2025 parents - right now you might be itching to go give your money to Team 91 because they won this year’s WSYL and you are hoping to jump on that band wagon. Before you do that, take a look at the 2024 forum. That same WSYL team lost in the quarter finals at 91’s own NLF tournament. Then they disappeared, skipping out on the consolation gamest, screwing two other teams out of games and causing those teams to pay good money to stay in a hotel an extra night away from home to play a team that disappeared the night before. Poor sportsmanship at its finest was on display here and before you say it’s not the clubs fault - WolfPackUpAndLeave was coached by a 91 Director all year.

A public service message.
Very impressive Rebels tryout tonight
Agreed
Kids want to play. Think kids go in thinking player development, no they want to just play lax

They were at Express as well, I am sure somebody will say the same about 91 tryouts.
My son got his Express invite, now relaxing the summer away and see you in the fall.

It was definitely a shame to see 91 do that at NLF. Lose a game and then you just leave?? Screwed over 2 other teams. Garbage move.
Everyone gets express invite. They don’t turn down checks from people. The question is he going to actually play in tournaments. If the answer is yes. Relax and enjoy the summer. If the answer is no, I’d look around a little more and start your relaxing in a couple weeks.
The Igloo kids were split from what I saw. 2 really good ones. the others not so much.

No disrespect, but what did Igloo do this spring that was so special?
Very good Igloo team? Apparently that is not the case otherwise those kids wouldn't be at "rebals" (actually spelled 'Rebels') tryouts. Maybe it makes no sense to you but it probably makes a lot of "cents" to them as the program is probably half the cost of an "A" team that was getting spanked by town teams consistently. And if Rebels attracts a few top tier kids this season and wins a few t-shirts it may make more sense to you next season...after the train has already left the station.

The same case can be made for a number of other teams regarding attracting a few top tier kids that will impact teams for the better. BUT aside from their nice shiny red helmets, what's the attraction to Rebels? Their coaching staff (no disrespect) and team are below par, plus they keep a ton of kids.

Most 1st year teams are below par year 1.

Define par? Is the coaching good at igloo?
Not yet they havent. But if they lose a few good players (and they only have a few to begin with) and the other teams gain a few ........ you see where this is going.
I guess the only way to answer that question is with another question: What is the attraction to any of these teams? What does one offer more than the other? They are all flawed. It is just more obvious when you have a team self proclaiming itself as an "A" team when they are nothing more than a glorified PAL team at best..... and the coaching is joke for most of these programs.

What does this list of teams mean?
Let's be clear about a few things:
1) Express and 91 are the only true AA teams.
2) S2S, Igloo, Roar, Force, Legacy and rebels (maybe) can beat each other on any given day. All of these teams are a play or 2 away from being included in the above group.
3) FLG and Rebels haven't done anything this year to be included in the above group.
I attended the tryout, someone said that last years head coach is coaching older kids. They said a new head coach is starting next week. At the tryout doing evaluations were assistant coaches and directors. Between 50 and 60 kids were there Tuesday night.

agreed. Its about playing the game and developing as a player. The WSYL is a money grab plain and simple. Don't get caught up in it. If you want it, Im sure you can get your son on a team that will go and drop $6 to $7 grand for a tournament. For all those that have older sons come through this, is there a dropoff in kids after the world series year? Does it get less crazy?
I keep hearing "its a great experience" LOL What a joke. At least you get a free mini stick!

Every year since it has started except for one has been two Long Island teams in the Finals. The other year it was a team from Westchester.

Since when is Igloo a VERY GOOD team. They never beaten a top tier team and have lost to town team ROAR several times. Igloo is a lower tier A team at best but more like a B team. Maybe their players are sick of the clique culture and are willing to make a change. Just because you think Igloo is good doesn't make it true, and maybe just maybe the daddy ball culture has people rushing for the door so they can at least see the field in Denver.
Is Express taking more 2024 kids?
Yes

Express is a different animal. As constituted before tryouts they were the clear cut best in 2025. I can only guess they pulled some more talent in and will be almost impossible to beat next year.
Will Geese even go to WSYL?

This is a 2025 lacrosse forum. I know everything I need to about my son's team. If I didn't care about what other teams were doing, why would I (or anyone else) spend any time on a board like this?
Yes, they did win games this year. So your just an uninformed loudmouth making ignorant comments.

Lots of tryouts occurred this week.
Have any other teams put out there rosters yet or contacted parents to offer there kids spots on teams?
Last week express had tryouts and made offers fairly quickly.
What about teams who had tryouts this week?
Yes offers have been put out.

My guess is Rebels, Igloo and 91 will all have this done quickly this week. They all want these rosters buttoned up.
My son plays for the runnin Rebels. the invites are out. I wuz told we got some top notch Igloo kids that defected from that program. And 1 of our kids apparently went there. A win for Rebels! Getting stronger baby!
who was named head coach of the rebels?
Who is going to be the head coach of Geese?

Same person that's been coaching for years. No problem there.
Rebels need to worry about who is coaching them. Or maybe they can just pretend they have one the same way they are pretending any high end players from other teams are joining them.

91 decided to take advantage of some friction in the tram, and poached players. It caused the team to fall apart. Legacy needs to refocus and invest in the team in order to recruit more talented players. But it is difficult with new teams popping up alm the time and express and 91 trying to field 3 or more teams (good knows why people pay for those secondary teams. They never perform well and are just lining those directors pockets.)
But there are just too many teams. The lacrosse game is getting watered down
Anyone know anything about the Regulators? New club for 2025 that is somehow connected to roar.

I don't know if watered down is how I would describe it. Game is becoming too top heavy and ego-centric.
91 and Express are great teams that recruit and develop great players. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. The problem exists with the attitude that if you don't make and play substantial minutes on either of those clubs, then your kid shouldn't bother playing at all. This is what pushes parents to accept being the 24th-28th kid on these rosters to barely play and make excuses like "he is getting great training" or "he's getting better in practice because he's is practicing against strong players". Both of which may very well be true, but if those players found a fit with a club where they're getting coached AND played a substantial role, they'll develop just the same. And there most likely wouldn't be as far a dropoff in talent from those 2 clubs and the rest of the pack. Similarly, there wouldn't be as much of a dropoff from the secondary to tertiary teams.

Lots of teams poach. Many coaches secretly have been reaching out to kids for the past few weeks, trying to lure them to their team. That’s why current tryouts for some teams are a farce. The A team is all set before tryouts begin. The kids who are on the A team are, the returning real good players, the kids who have been poached the past few weeks, coaches kids and a few others political kids. Everyone else who isn’t in one of those categories is trying out for B and C team. Tryouts are a formality. A money maker for a club. Think about it. Lots of kids, lots of grades, 100 to 150 per kid, do the math, not bad.

Too many teams, so you're saying only those you feel are worthy to play a game should be able to play? The game is open to anyone that wants to pick up a stick. It's people like you that shouldn't be allowed around the game. It's people like you that live through their 12yr old kids to redeem some glory you fell short of. I'm spot on too because no person that ever play this game or any other a t decent level would ever besmirch another from playing the game even if they're a beginner or not very good. Heck Michael Jordan was cut from his basketball team. heaven help your kid(s) for growing up with such a POS role model like yourself and the rest of the stunads on this board that think success at 12 equates to anything other than success at 12. Those T-shirts, the identity people like you and your kids for based on winning a tournament at 12 will all fade to nothing in 5, 10, 15 yrs.

There was a time when most 2nd teams were really good. It still exists is some examples e.g. warriors. It’s the coach and what he brings to the table. If you get a committed coach and a solid core of kids. They will stay because the development is solid. That’s why Roar, Three Village and GC are the best B teams. Those programs care and develop the players at practice. It’s that simple. With all this shifting, call the coach now before committing and voice your concerns and hear what the plan is. If they don’t call back, I would move on. Trust the process if it sounds solid.

Rebels is a team on the rise why the hating.
Igloo is a good team but they are basically a town team made up of Huntington kids much like ROAR is made up of CSH kids. Express still the class of the bunch with the very best talent leaving current clubs to join them. Everyone else just playing for second place. Just the reality.
igloo's a glorified town team that probably pays club team prices. they used to be good. like 5 years ago. Its express, sometimes 91 and then the rest.

Beyond me why any talented player would go to a subpar A team like Rebals. What did they do this Spring/Summer!?!? There are better A teams out there. And to leave a very good Igloo team to go to Rebals...Makes zero sense.

Igloo all Daddy ball

Since when is Igloo a VERY GOOD team. They never beaten a top tier team and have lost to town team ROAR several times. Igloo is a lower tier A team at best but more like a B team. Maybe their players are sick of the clique culture and are willing to make a change. Just because you think Igloo is good doesn't make it true, and maybe just maybe the daddy ball culture has people rushing for the door so they can at least see the field in Denver.


Rebels is a team on the rise why the hating.
Igloo is a good team but they are basically a town team made up of Huntington kids much like ROAR is made up of CSH kids. Express still the class of the bunch with the very best talent leaving current clubs to join them. Everyone else just playing for second place. Just the reality.


15 kids play on express -- even if the next 10 are studs, they won't see the field for more than 15% of the game. It's the truth and no one will deny it. Those 10 are in it for tshirts only.

But there are just too many teams. The lacrosse game is getting watered down


Too many teams, so you're saying only those you feel are worthy to play a game should be able to play? The game is open to anyone that wants to pick up a stick. It's people like you that shouldn't be allowed around the game. It's people like you that live through their 12yr old kids to redeem some glory you fell short of. I'm spot on too because no person that ever play this game or any other a t decent level would ever besmirch another from playing the game even if they're a beginner or not very good. Heck Michael Jordan was cut from his basketball team. heaven help your kid(s) for growing up with such a POS role model like yourself and the rest of the stunads on this board that think success at 12 equates to anything other than success at 12. Those T-shirts, the identity people like you and your kids for based on winning a tournament at 12 will all fade to nothing in 5, 10, 15 yrs.


You need a serious therapist. Your one of those people who read everything that is said negatively.
Noone said that any kid that plays lacrosse shouldn't play club ball. That doesnt take away from the fact that there are too many teams and it's getting watered down.
Lots of these teams cant roster a full team because there are so many different ones. And in process the talent gets too spread out. If we had less then everyone would have a chance to get on a team which would be A or B based on their skills. And you would see more competitive teams in each brackets tournaments.
Of course on top of that, the top organizations have to stop overloading their teams. 22 is the max you should have on any team. Anything else is just directors lining their pockets. And they are taking away from all the kids playing time.
Although I will say that parents should not put kids into club ball if they cant make the commitment. Or choose one of the smaller clubs who dont practice and tournament year round. Kids should defenitely play other sports. But lacrosse is a team sport. And your not being a team player if you miss constant practices. Not saying this is the majority. But their is a certain amount of parents who put their kids in but dont follow through on the time commitment.

I don't disagree that they mainly play certain kids. But you cant blame that on the kids. It's the organization that shouldn't allow that. Plus of course, many of these kids who dont play enough could be top kids on a different team. There parents are foolish and doing their kids a disservice keeping them there. They are cheating their kids out of great experiences playing lacrosse. Those kids will look back and remember only that they were riding the bench. And it will forever affect their self esteem.

Delusional. Rebels was on the bottom this year. Igloo was so much better than them. As was Roar, R$sh, Geese, Force, ... etc... the list goes on. Not even in the running for 2nd place to teams like 91 or Exoress. Probably the closest to.those top teams was Igloo. But there still is a huge gap even there.

I don't know if watered down is how I would describe it. Game is becoming too top heavy and ego-centric.
91 and Express are great teams that recruit and develop great players. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. The problem exists with the attitude that if you don't make and play substantial minutes on either of those clubs, then your kid shouldn't bother playing at all. This is what pushes parents to accept being the 24th-28th kid on these rosters to barely play and make excuses like "he is getting great training" or "he's getting better in practice because he's is practicing against strong players". Both of which may very well be true, but if those players found a fit with a club where they're getting coached AND played a substantial role, they'll develop just the same. And there most likely wouldn't be as far a dropoff in talent from those 2 clubs and the rest of the pack. Similarly, there wouldn't be as much of a dropoff from the secondary to tertiary teams.


I 100% agree that if some of these kids who are on Express and 91 who dont get playing time went to other teams, we would see much stronger teams outside those organizations. And the game would be far more competitive.
However, every season new teams are popping up when the ones that exist can barely field a full team. That's watering down the sport.
The sport has become all about people making money by forming new teams or overloading existing ones. Very little us about kids getting better and enjoying playing competitive lacrosse.
Some will improve, some will not. 91 and Express tops for now
What’s some of the upcoming cost for club teams ? The big secret


Delusional. Rebels was on the bottom this year. Igloo was so much better than them. As was Roar, R$sh, Geese, Force, ... etc... the list goes on. Not even in the running for 2nd place to teams like 91 or Exoress. Probably the closest to.those top teams was Igloo. But there still is a huge gap even there.
[/quote]

How was Igloo closest to others? They didn't beat anybody but maybe Recon.
Wasnt Rebels a 1st year Program and Igloo been around for a while? The gap between those programs didnt look big at all this year. I bet Rebels, if they realy got some talent this summer, will even beat igloo. That team dont beat anyone except their own B teams. And teh 2025s looked worse at every tournament we played them in. They lost to Millon and CSH (b teams at best).... And call them selfs an A team. Charge like a Top team and compete like C team. And Express and 91 will slaughter them both.
Which team would rate higher: Millon Force or Igloo Northface?

Igloo destroyed Rebels when they played them. Wasn't even close.

Of course they will.
It's actually pretty reasonable compared to others. Box on it's own runs $300-. So tuition is more like $2775- if you pay in full. That's cheaper than most teams out there.
Except for R$sh, which clearly offers the most value for what you pay. R$sh is the team a lot of parents should be looking at. Lots of potential there.

They should be, they have to establish a brand. Only the 2nd year. But have not heard anything negative from the families I know there.

R$sh is not a startup. They used to be the Ducks. But when they separated from Dynamic, they changed their name to R$sh. But same coaches as Ducks on 2025 level. Who is actually the director as well. So this is an experienced organisation. Yet they are charging a lot less than other organizations and giving back as much if not more. Seems like a great option for club lacrosse if you want to be on a competitive team.

R$sh actually won the championship at the Blatant Summer Showdown this year. So they did pretty well for their first year after breaking away from Dynamic.

It's a choice but it's actually nice you have that choice. Other clubs dont give you that option.

How much is 91, Express and igloo thus yr ?
I said brand with respect to R US H, everyone knows they were the Ducks. But they still need to establish the brand. Not just by building a few decent teams, but by building a club program that can be recognized as a top tier club. And that takes time, and an ability to attract and RETAIN top players, plus play in only the top divisions at tourneys. Unfortunately what often happens is the best players slowly migrate to the top tier clubs. Again, haven’t heard anything negative about this club and hope they do well. Just stating my point.

Igloo is $3400 which honestly is too much since they dont even give you a uniform with that. You have to pay extra for the uniform. And they only give 5 tournaments with that.

Geese is charging B team prices.
My son is thinking about trying out for the Force A team on Monday. Came here looking for feedback on the coaches or the team in general since I'm not really plugged into the travel circuit? Thank you
Force is a very good team I would say they can play with anyone other than express and 91. Good team with 2 coaches with a lot of experience.

True Blue? Really? You are going to hang your hat on beating TB and the Rebels? Who are those other teams? CoachC, Express North, BBL all spanked Igloo. Igloo is a mediocre B team with nice uniforms.

Some of you need to get a life outside of analyzing young boys playing lacrosse.
Force is a good team. Problem is all good kids will leave in next couple years. Parents and kids need to position themselves for recruiting years. Force NOT in any good events.

Force is reasonably priced at $2100. But be aware they dont really practice nearly as much as other teams. They only have 8 winter practices. And although they do 7 tournaments. But 2 are in the fall and 4 are in the spring. Only 2 is in the actual summer season and that one listed online is not a real good one at all. So your kid is not really getting a chance to play competitive lacrosse.
But depending on the skill level of your son, and where and how much he has played travel before it could be a good fit.
Otherwise if price point is a reason your selecting Force, than you would probably be better trying out for R$sh. Much more experienced coaches and organization. Plus only $200 more and you will be practicing more and playing in better tournaments.

So this is a valid point. I don’t know many kids from 2nd tier clubs get into Maverick or other premiere events. I know Top tier clubs get those looks. And if you don’t what Showtime is, it’s almost already too late for next summer. But it doesn’t start for this age yet. And you can’t apply or email Showtime. All is done on the club director level with the Showtime staff. Your club Choice makes a difference on where you settle in for the next four years of club.

$3600 for a program that lost to teams that were nearly almost half as much. No thanks!

Don't know much about the Force coaches but I've seen them play against my sons team. I believe they have a lot of kids from the Huntington/Northport area.
They definitely had a number of excellent players that were hard to stop.
WOW That is like overpaying for a Go-Kart that is advertised to be a Ferrari.... Id rather pay $110 to PAL....same results

Online igloo post 2025 is $3400. And its 2023 and 2024 where its $3600. I though they advertise they are the team with no surprises??
$3600 is ridiculous for no uniform and only 5 guaranteed tournaments. Especially when most of those tournaments are not the prime tournaments and most are not during the actual summer season.
