Use this thread to discuss lacrosse for 2026 Graduating Boys (7th Graders) for the Fall 2020/Summer 2021 season
My sons 2026 team played 1 game against a different program this summer. Is that consistent with the other 2026 programs?

That is not consistent with other 2026 teams and hopefully your coach/club can find you a bunch more games. I guess it depends where you live, but all the MD teams have played or are playing multiple tourneys with varied opponents.
Our team has played 5 games against other teams from the tristate. I agree with above poster, hopefully your club can secure some games for your team. Good luck!
what tournaments are upcoming?
Looks like tryouts will be happening this year for some clubs.

91 and legacy are both holding “new player” evaluations. If you contact express they will invite you down to practice with the team and get a look

Most clubs are holding “new player evaluations”. For many of the bigger clubs this is just to fill the roster of their b and c teams. The virus has really exposed how much these clubs don’t give a garbage about their B teams. As a result their will be a lot of turnover on these teams
I disagree. If your son is good enough, any top team will accommodate him. Especially if they are lacking talent in certain positions. Definitely look to attend other tryouts if you are unhappy with your current situation.

Oh I agree. If a kid is a super stud a top team will accommodate him. But in most cases that kids parents have already been in touch with the club. The tryout is a formality, if they even come at all. The B and C team rosters of the bigger clubs are very light.

Haha. Pretty good. So true. Covid really exposed how much these clubs don’t care about the B and C teams.

That I’m not sure of. 24 kids on sideline. 4 goalies. 11
On the field. I watched them vs orange storm. I didn’t see to many substitutions
11 on the field? No wonder they did so well. Blind refs. 😁
Does anyone have recommendations for attack centric clinics for fall and winter? Nassau or Western Suffolk...
Hows the 91 camp ? Money grab or good ?
Let me just set the record straight here for some of the misinformation......regardless of how many players are on the sidelines the first and second lines for express got equal time . I was there and see it myself . 91 got a proper beat down plain and simple . And speaking of substitutions....I also have a friend with a son who is on 91 and he got a total of 3 minutes if the game , father was fuming. So you were saying ? Take a loss like a man,stop making excuses that are typical to 91 dads.....and just for the record express also beat down 91 team a few weeks earlier , so not a fluke . The 91 team is just not very good .

I’m not a 91 dad. I just watched the game. The express team was very good and yes dominated 91. I was just suprised how many kids were on the sidelines. If your happy with the program than that’s great.

It’s tomorrow for this age group
People have choices, if players don't play they can leave right ? So why bother saying 40 kids on the sidelines . People are grown decision makers , everybody has a choice including the kids

So many kids on the sidelines b/c they had the AA and A team (or A & B depending on how you look at it) there. All the kids got playing time. Obviously the AA played the majority though.
I know of teams that bring 22 kids and there are still kids that don't get playing time at all ....FACT. So if someone carries 25 or 55 and the starters only play or the starters and second line okay what's the difference and who cares .....like has been stated before on this thread ....people have choices . Do what's best for you but no need to go on here and say " I counted 85 kids on the sidelines " congratulations you know how to count .
please stop with the AA,A,B. teams have an A,B,and a C team

I think you would agree 40 kids on a team for a tourney is a little out of the ordinary. The team (roster and all) crushed everyone.
Why is no one talking about the WSYL? The only tournament in their youth that actually matters.

I've had to listen to a someone complaining recently about their kid's situation. And it got me thinking about what attributes separate and AA player from B from C, etc.

Think Madden rankings. AA players will be high in most of these:
size
strength
speed / athleticism
lacrosse iq
intensity / competitiveness / aggression
stick skills (cradling, shooting, gbs)

B players might be low in 1 or 2 of those areas, but high in the rest. etc.

What say you? Not to stir the pot. But helpful in trying to calmly/diplomatically/tactfully trying to explain to other why their kid didn't make x team.

You obviously have never been to the WSYL. It is the best run lacrosse event anywhere and the highlight of their youth sports career. Worth every Penney. And it is a true on age tourney that bands post-pubescent “man” cheaters, that are a year or even two years older than they are suppose to be, from using that advantage against pre-pubescent boys”.

Exactly. This age group seems to be FAIRLY sane.

Only teams that complain about the WSYL are holdback teams...good luck to all!

WSYL seems to be trending in a great direction the last few years. Enjoy your time out there. Don't let all the parents on the ranked teams around here that play each other in their own backyards give you any guff. Money well spent!

I went with my older boy. An unbelievable experience! It really can’t be compared to anything else. It’s the iconic event in youth lacrosse. Hopefully your sons team will qualify. Then sit back and prepare to be amazed!

Unless of course, your son is a holdback on a holdback team, then, by all means, continue with the lame rhetoric/excuses... since Jake Steinfeld doesn’t allow cheaters.

Sounds like a quality event that has gotten better every year and really picking up steam

I am not a holdback complainer as they are allowed, so be it. That being said, it would be cool if there were more age group tourneys. I know some parts of the country have spring on age leagues and club obv grade based running concurrently. For my son being an on age 2026, it’s fun for him to play with different kids for that reason.

Clearly Express is the favorite. 91 and Igloo would probably qualify. I wouldn't be surprised if Express had 2 teams qualify. Hard to tell what teams are age eligible. We shall see.
Picking up steam?? Bro, I went last year and EVERY SINGLE top team in the country was there, and a bunch didn’t even get through the gauntlet known as the north qualifier. The only teams that don’t do it are the ones that can’t, since their team is 100% dependent upon ineligible holdbacks. MD teams are notorious for this. Winning the WSYL (or just doing well) is a huge bonanza for the clubs, which translates to big time bottom line cash for the clubs, that costs the clubs ZERO! Of course every top club is going to be there, IF they qualify based on the age requirement. The WSYL is not “picking up steam”. It IS the freight train of youth lacrosse! All aboard!!

Club lacrosse at the elite level is a very dirty business. Win at all costs and build the brand into an empire. The formula: Take kids that are a year or two older, that are post pubescent men and play on age pre pubescent little boys. Great concept! Bunch of db clubs. Guess what happens in 8th grade and later?? Most on age kids hit their growth spurt during the 8th grade. By spring of that year, those tiny little on age kids are no longer tiny. They grew 6 inches and put on 40 pounds of muscle., in that one year alone. Trust me. It’s coming! Meanwhile the post pubescent cheater holdback hasnt grown since 6th grade. The on age kid is as big or bigger than the holdbacks, and he’s a better lacrosse player.

EVERYTHING changes the spring of 8th grade. Holdback teams that use to dominate no longer do. They struggle to compete, against players they use to dominate. They are exposed for what they have always been. Substandard lacrosse players, who are sons of substandard lacrosse dads. You never hear about them, but this is the result for the great majority of holdbacks.

So, all you dads and moms out there of on age kids, be patient. Your sons day is coming, and soon!

You must be that obnoxious Express Dad in the blue baseball hat. You’re a joke. You give that team a bad name.

This is laugh out loud funny.
Sorry pal, no that's not me ....and obnoxious ? Team 91 writes the script on being obnoxious ..91 dads come on here and say things like " went 3-0 today, nothing new for us " . You're the joke . And don't get me started on the yelling and jumping up and down on the sidelines along with all of the blinged out gear. Pathetic
Towermen are the team to beat

I’m not your pal. And I touched quite a nerve if that isn’t you.

Please quote those comments. I do not recall seeing a single post on this thread like that from a 91 parent this year.

And if you’re not the guy in the blue hat, you know exactly who I’m talking about. Much more pathetic than any blinged out gear. Can’t wait till CoachC finds a new toy and your son is scrambling for a team. Oh wait.....you’ll just stay and keep paying all the fees even though your boy doesn’t step on the field anymore. CoachC is banking on it.......literally.
Yup......you're right, as usual the 91 dads know it all. You're my hero .
Sorry pal, my son is not even on express . Just saw the scores and heard about it . So have no idea who or what you're talking about with a blue hat. Have a nice day .
Please stop all of the nonsense. Express and 91 are clearly the top 2 L.I. Teams heading into the WSYL, regardless of "holdbacks" etc.. Hopefully those teams will get meaningful competition and grow this Fall. Express 2026 has the 1 player that nobody else has so stop talking about 50 kids on their roster. When you win 90% plus face-offs and put the ball in play everyone on that team is better. Until teams learn to deal with it and/or stop it.... Express will win and that's the reality of it. Don't sit here and throw stones at Express. People are happy here and they should be. If you're not happy or disgruntled urge your club to get better and if they won't, make good decisions for your child, and let them play. Either way there are plenty of club lacrosse options out there. Do right by your kid, and not your ego!

Yes, I completely agree with you. Just to be clear, it was the above poster from Express who came on here and started disparaging 91 on a typically civil 2026 thread.

I would say express is clearly the best team. 2nd is a tossup between 91 and igloo. Coach C was a smart businessman by doing his “super team “. It made a a lot of kids sign up because the 2 teams practice together. As a result they have enough kids to field 3 teams. 91 barely has enough kids to field a 2nd team. 91 has gotten so out of control with daddy ball. 26 team has 5 dad coaches. Go look at there other teams. Machine has 6 dad coaches. The list goes on and on. I get there wil be dad coaches. But for most teams have 5-6 or them.....it only leads to problems

I guess it is good that your son doesn’t play for 91 then. Just like outside parents don’t understand the 40 man roster for Express. But not my business, not my problem. MYOB.
Anyone who knows this grade knows the top 3 teams have been pretty close for years. Express has taken the lead, with Igloo and 91 not too far behind.
Bbl picked up some solid LE guys.

I’ll take the Dad coaches that 91 offers, thank you very much.

Sure, I suppose everyone will see the hawks compete for the WSYL than. Doubtful with their older boys...

Hawks will never lose to a New York team

Lol funny. The Hawks and their older children.

Hawks are beatable.Lost this summer to the Tigers.
No one cares about the Hawks here, Hawks Dad. Go back to your Mid-Atlantic thread with the other holdbacks.

Club lacrosse at the elite level is a very dirty business. Win at all costs and build the brand into an empire. The formula: Take kids that are a year or two older, that are post pubescent men and play on age pre pubescent little boys. Great concept! Bunch of db clubs. Guess what happens in 8th grade and later?? Most on age kids hit their growth spurt during the 8th grade. By spring of that year, those tiny little on age kids are no longer tiny. They grew 6 inches and put on 40 pounds of muscle., in that one year alone. Trust me. It’s coming! Meanwhile the post pubescent cheater holdback hasnt grown since 6th grade. The on age kid is as big or bigger than the holdbacks, and he’s a better lacrosse player.

EVERYTHING changes the spring of 8th grade. Holdback teams that use to dominate no longer do. They struggle to compete, against players they use to dominate. They are exposed for what they have always been. Substandard lacrosse players, who are sons of substandard lacrosse dads. You never hear about them, but this is the result for the great majority of holdbacks.

So, all you dads and moms out there of on age kids, be patient. Your sons day is coming, and soon!

Why exactly do things change in the spring of 8th grade?

I have coached many holdbacks and even more on age and see little advantage to college placement in the long run. Also have had many more behavioral issues from later grade holdbacks (not ones who started K or Pre-K late necessarily...that is a different scenario).

The above is harsh and the ramblings of a delusional parent trying to justify the inability of their son to compete in sports. Folks do not complain about a kid who was born in May who struggles to walk and chew gum at the same time while playing in the neighborhood rec league. No, the focus of the holdback derangement syndrome is focused on the same aged kid who happens to be 6” taller then other kids his age (thanks mom and dad for the tall gene), is a natural athlete that is equally strong with stick in his left or right hand that is also self driven and is on a wall or cage 5 days per week.

According to what you said it is only a matter of time that the later “substandard lacrosse player” is exposed and suffers complete collapse as all the other kids who, as a youth, lack one, some or all of the skills needed to shine in the game majestically rise to become the dominate player. Yes all kids will grow and improve. This fact does not equate to the collapse of the kid who is a stand out at 11 or 12 or him being exposed as being substandard.

As a long time coach who tries to build teams with known or data driven factors I would be inclined to bet on a kid in 7th grade who runs faster then most of his peers, is 5’9” with a mom who stands say at 5’8”, can manage his stick like a magician and shoots left or right at 70moh+ then a kid who is 5’3” and lacks a few of the skills needed to play the game at a high level.

Not a substandard lacrosse dad.... just saying...

I assume the OP didn't literally mean everything changes. I am also a longtime coach and I think almost everything other coach and parent on here understands that you are going to take the bigger, stronger, faster kid with stick skills over the other 5'3" player you described. What I think is important though is that if your on-age kid is 5'3" with stick skills and speed but hasn't yet hit his growth spurt to have the size and strength, don't give up as if/when the size/strength comes a year later, he will catch up. Also is you have an on-age kid who is 5'9" 150 lbs, but is new to the game and willing to work, your son can catch up in the stick skills dept if he puts in the time and effort. I've had many holdbacks over the years who did make a top team as they were a year older, but never have I nor would I suggest a parent hold a kid back purely for lax...once you get to high school ages things tend to even out so you need to do what's best for your boy in the non-lax world. Also, parents going through this process the first time, don't let people convince you colleges only want holdbacks. I have many college coaches who prefer the highly skilled 17 yr old with potential over the 20 yr old holdback PG who has has hit their peak and won't listen to coaching at the college level.
Coach, I agree with everything you just wrote. The original poster insinuated that “the holdback would be exposed as a sub-standard player” as he entered high school. All kids will grow and develop. The 5’3” kid will grow and get better and many will, as you wrote, catch up and become great players. The point I was trying to make is that this outcome does not necessarily negate the talent or effort of the kid who was more dominate in middle school there by exposing him as being substandard.

If I could wave a magic wand and get a wish related to this board I would wish that every parent embrace middle school lacrosse as a time for their kids to learn, develops and grow. Holdbacks or no, the kids with the athleticism and passion for the game will go the furthest in the game. In the meantime let’s stop beating up programs and kids for where they are in their development as people and players.

Can I get an amen to that?
Can someone please give a description of a substandard lacrosse Dad?
substandard lacrosse dad: (noun) 1. description used by a parent or guardian of a child that plays the sport of lacrosse to describe the parent or guardian of another child who is visibly better at lacrosse then their child. (adverb) 2. a term often used by parents suffering from acute low self-worth lacrosse derangement syndrome.

“That big, fast kid who scored 3 goals in the first half against my son playing pole has only exposed that he has a substandard lacrosse dad”

“If only my son could compete against that kid I would feel better about myself and could stop using the substandard lacrosse dad excuse to make me feel better.”
Very well done. It needs to be included in the sports regular vernacular in the same way phrases like crease crank and yard sale are used. Maybe shorten it to SLD. It could be used as follows: “Man that kid is really quick and can consistently ring the top shelf. Clearly the product of good coaches and an SLD.”
Ok, wait.....so it is a Dad who accuses players who play against his son to be substandard? I thought it was a Dad who played lacrosse himself and was only a substandard player.

yeah, I'm confused...I thought it was a clear insult, but you guys are making it look like a compliment. If you are substandard it has to be a negative imo

Yes, an SLD is an ironic/satirical description. A regular lax dad probably peaked in high school and lives vicariously through his son. The SLD is a normal, rational person whose son id really good at lax but both he and his son have other things going on in their life so they frustrate the typical lax dad.
How are the Rebels and Moose at this age? Real question. Please don't bash.

The rebels are not great at this age. They lose to the better B teams and beat that crappy B teams I just saw they plan on having an a and b team for this age......which seems crazy. Mooselax was a pretty decent B team couple years ago. Not sure how this will be this upcoming year. They didn’t play any tournaments this summer because of Covid
My son’s team has played against both and Moose appeared to be better. IMO

Perfect. Moving forward, SLD is a compliment. Thanks for clearing that up.

Rebels were not good at all when they started 2 years ago, but have gotten considerably better consistently. New coaching addition from same coach that runs their 22 team, which is really really good. Should surprise some people this year.

Nice, I now aspire to be called an SLD. It is hilarious when dad’s on my son’s team Ask me why I’m not more into the game. They have no clue that screaming and yelling during games never helps your kid and I’d somewhere from indifferent to detrimental to their development.
LONG LIVE SLDs!!!!!
I have raised an older son who is in college but does not play sports. I have a 15 year old who is really good at the game but has so many good qualities that fill his life that lax is a small part of his life. I run my own company that is a 2nd focus of my life. My wife am kids are my primary focus. I am a proud SLD!!! Thank you for liberating me!!!

A lot. Why do you want to know ??
I really dont think there is a lot, when counting I could only come up with about maybe 20 travel teams at this age group in nassau and suffolk county.
so figuring all these clubs are basically fighting over like 400 kids. Can you name 20 teams???

wow thats a pretty good list,, but in nassau and suffolk, there are really not that many teams,, I think FLG has a team that would be 24.

there's a club team for basically any kid that wants to play plus many kids only play town ball.

Empire on there already.

365 is a Poughkeepsie team

24 and Hitman have 2026 teams? I've never ever seen them anywhere.

Lockjaw makes it 24.

I tried to exclude town travel besides GC and CSH.

I would take GC off the list as they have kids that play on other teams in the list, so it is not exclusive. I would add Lockjaw,,


24 - Have not seen a team at this age,'
365 Lax - Have not seen a team at this age
Hitmen - have not seen a team at this age
Vipers - have not seen a team at this age
Shore 2 Shore has only 1 team now.
I love a man with SLD energy
EEE is east coast elite
Now for the real fun...put them into divisions and then rank them.
You dont need to do that, peoples heads explode. But there is always movement of the upper teams 91 igloo and express, stealing the others developed players, and some times you get the dissatisfied guy from the top three that moves down to find another team. Interesting how parents thought processes are.

The big clubs expect to pay 4K for top teams, over 3k for B teams. The smaller clubs expect anywhere from 2500-3500. Some clubs are upping the price this year for the World Series of lacrosse qualifier.

Port Washington mostly, but accept players from other towns.

What happened to Force? I heard they shut down
havent seen a Force team at this grade, maybe they changed names or broke up and players went to other teams,, it usually happens that way. But the list of 20-25 teams is pretty much the only teams in nassau and suffolk.
Two more LI Lax clubs to add to the list. Shore 2 Shore Barracudas and Rebels Red Rage (both B teams).

Makes no sense...the only appeal is that it is age based, not grade, so why don't other promoters just run some age based tournaments?
I know a family who has multiple kids playing travel lacrosse for many years. One of their kids went to the WSYL and they said it was an awesome experience and worth every penny. A great vacation for the family and a youth lacrosse experience unlike any other they had seen. Just like anything else, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it.

As for the comment that the WSYL doesn't really matter ... do any youth lacrosse tournaments "matter"?

No they don’t.......but they also don’t cost upwards of 10k to attend.

Yeah cmon people. Lets not act like Long Island is big “on age” group. Yeah teams get on age for World Series, but that’s about it. Teams are loaded with holdbacks, or older kids playing playing down to help their team win

Let’s try to be fair but you can get over 5k fast even if you watch your Airfare for two, hotel for a minimum of 6 nights, car rental, new team gear for the event.

Also food... add the wife and a kid or two more and it’s close enough to $10k

Should definitely be interesting, if they can get back to regular play (inlcuding face offs). Express has a large group of kids in this age group.

I am not from New York, but I can say every year I take time to read the same Welles Crowther story and it makes me emotional. Through all the BS of lax, if this sport can give our kids the ability to react like that and be a true hero, I will take that over all the goals, assists and defense in the world.
Thats why i think if they could run effectively quality Age based tournaments with Credibility. People would have a much better experience. You would see that teams would not become dominant just based on having an older couple of kids. You might actually appreciate the coaching that kids are getting.

Express has 2-3 really good players that separate them. The rest are fine but at the same level as kids on many of these other "B" teams (Legacy, Outlaws, S2S, LILC).

I agree with this. But Igloo is in the same class as the 2nd tier teams. 91 used to be pretty even with Express. But I watched Express crush 91 in Jersey over the summer. The game wasn’t even close. I’ve noticed a lot of these top teams seem to avoid each other at all costs.
it's better for business if they avoid each other

How can you say that? The top 4 played each other multiple times in the past year. When and where was that LIE/91 game in NJ? They played twice this summer both times in CT.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. They play each other often. 91 and Express A teams did not play in Jersey this summer.

Your kid obviously doesn't play for either team then. They played at LaxFest in Tinton Falls. I believe it was mid august. You can easily look it up on tourney machine. Express dominated that game. If they played each other all summer what were some of the results?

My son plays for one of the teams. Lax Fest was in Bradford CT, Express won, it was the last game of the season. They also had a play day at Darien HS earlier in the summer, Express won. Lax Fest started as a blowout then 91 made it closer. Darien HS game was closer game. Don't say I watched in NJ when you didn't. That's the problem with this site, so much fake news. Any other questions?
Hahaha, they played each other twice .....with express dominating . Who is this guy saying that they didn't even play each other ? Sorry to burst your bubble but on long island it's express at the top and way way back is 91 and igloo. Not even close, express was lights out .

Nope. They played at Darien HS in July and N Brandford CT at Lax Fest in August. Express won both. You said you watched them in NJ? you must have been the only one there.

the link doesn't work Zuckerberg, what's your point?
why does BOTC change links to "USCL.com" to "uscl.com?" Is there some animonsity there? Anyway...

Lax Fest BOYS Igloo (2026) 3 6 LI Express Haugen (2026)
Lax Fest BOYS LI Express Haugen (2026) 9 3 Team 91 LI Machine (2027)
Lax Fest BOYS LI Express Haugen (2026) 11 6 Team 91 LI Orange Storm (2026)

Is Orange Storm not the top team for 91? Clearly they lost 11-6 to Express at Lax Fest

Clearly this dude watched tourneymachine and not an actual game. Yes, Lax Fest was played in Tinton Falls for some ages, but the 2026s played in N. Branford, CT.

I’m not an express dad. But Laxfest game was not close. Express blew them out early and then they put the 3rd and 4th string kids in.
Express dominated at the face-off in August. Take away the face-off and it is a tight game. It will come back around. Just wait.

Fair enough, but cant say Express doesnt deserve to be ranked ahead for now.
Take away the face off ? Lol.....right . Take away this and take away that . Sounds like a dollar and a dream commercial. You're not serious with that statement are you . The game is the game ........find a way to win you don't come on here and say " take away the face off and it's a tighter game " . Who does that ?

I bet if one team plays without a goalie it will be a blowout.

#CmonMan "take away the face-off" is a bad take. Take away the other teams goalie, and it's easier to score too. You compete with the team on the field that's why the games are played. It's such a weak argument when anyone says some version of "Yeah, but...." Ok but you didn't have a strong face-off. How did your team ride then? Great way to neutralize a good FO guy? Ride better, and battle for ground balls. It doensn't matter if you win 20 faceoffs if the same team has 25 turnovers.

Agreed. That’s just a silly statement. You could pretty much make it any time you lose a game.

Take away the stud attack man and it’s a different game

Take away the stud goalie and it’s a different game.

Stop it. You’ve been beaten by express all summer. They are clearly better than 91 this age group
But............if you take away the face off kid and all of your kids played with no sticks in their hands ......the out come would be different . Just wait and see . Lol

Half of them,or more, would be in 8th grade on LI and our 25's would smoke them.
I heard the best team at the Darien Play Day was Sweetlax Upstate 2026

Please stop crying over different age cutoffs in different states/areas. Lax reality is that parents hold back their kids all over the country. If your boy can't compete with kids 4 months older due to Sep 1st vs. Jan 1st school ages then maybe he should stick to soccer where its birth year.

And Hawks went on to win NLF while Tigers went on to go 0-2 after beating them. You need to play more then 13 kids in a game if you expect to play the rest of the day smile This is not Scoopers anymore, kids get tired

No dog in this hunt but always interesting to see the low class Hawks rhetoric in everything they say and do. As the wins dry up there will be an implosion.Other teams enjoy being together and the experience. Question is where do the kids leave to?

Personally I'd love to see the Hawks implode, but I think its too early to predict that happening. They are still the best 2026 squad in the country although hopefully we see deeper tournaments soon with all the top teams competing against each other.

Hawks won’t play in WSYL, it is a waste of time and money. Hawks are clearly #1 in the country, they don’t need to travel all over the country to prove that.
Wrong....Hawks dad . Hawks do not qualify due to being too old . Sure you're the best in the country just a year older than everyone else in the same bracket.

WSYL age cutoff is Sept 1st, same as schools in Maryland (and any other area who logically has an age cutoff inline with when schools start the year). We have no interest in wasting money to fly across the country and play the same teams we do on the East Coast.

WSYL is in Maryland this year. Interesting. Will it lose it's luster without the rocky mountain backdrop? Or is the new back drop the md holdbacks standing on the sidelines, not able to play?

My guess is that the top 15 to 20 teams according to Us Club Lax all have hold backs and wouldn't be participating. The WSYL is more of a B team championship, so nobody really cares that much.

OK Chip. We will even have a couple of kids from the 2025 team playing at the WSYL that have birthdays prior to Sept 1. So your 2026 holdbacks are even older than some of our 2025's. Come on Chip, the WSYL is in MD this year, bring your age appropriate team to it, get spanked and you can take your 2028 holdback to the Green Turtle after.

Any team who competes there would be age appropriate. Tons of teams have a few holdbacks who they would just leave off the squad for this if they want to play.

The fact is your on here beating your chest how kids 2 years older are "the best" in the 2026 age group Chip. So go put some more Old Bay on your fries at the Green Turtle and when you have too many wine spritzers, at least you will have your 2026 stud as a designated driver!
WSYL in MD! Haha. No more excuses boys!

My kid wants to compete against the best on age kids.

If you tout you’re the best, but don’t show up this year at WSYL, you’re a _______. (Rhymes with Woosy)

I truly hope you show. Win or lose...My kid wants to play the against best.

Time to put up, or shut up.

Your 12 year old doesn't care about the competition, he just want to play lax and have fun. YOU want him to platy against the Hawks so that if his team wins, YOU can brag to your buddies that your boy is a stud or more likely a role player on a really good team.

FACT: No top team is going to WSYL. WSYL will be an assembly of B teams showcasing dropped balls, loose ball mosh pits and bad coaching. Keep your money and use your time on something more worthwhile.

Not actually true, but know what you're saying. Much better overall comp at NAL and NLF. My son is on age as a March 2008, but I much rather see him face the top 0226 teams vs. the ones that just fit the age requirement. Are you people going to wait until your boy is a senior in HS to let hm play varsity to avoid older players?

The older they get the age difference makes less of a difference.2025, 2026, 2027 still a big difference in the one year.

With WSYL now in MD, now is the chance to prove it’s a B tournament.

More importantly, no more will there be the need to battle the holdback arguments...Don’t you want that to go away? Trust me, all on age kids do!

No more excuses bub...Time to put up or shut up.

True, but if your son has any chance of playing against seniors as a freshman or even soph, he better get used to playing against 7th graders who are a few months older than him without daddy protecting him.

Get a grip. There is only one age based tournament a year, and you can have all the rest.

Not actually true, but know what you're saying. Much better overall comp at NAL and NLF. My son is on age as a March 2008, but I much rather see him face the top 0226 teams vs. the ones that just fit the age requirement. Are you people going to wait until your boy is a senior in HS to let hm play varsity to avoid older players?

The older they get the age difference makes less of a difference.2025, 2026, 2027 still a big difference in the one year.
True, but if your son has any chance of playing against seniors as a freshman or even soph, he better get used to playing against 7th graders who are a few months older than him without daddy protecting him.

All of this banter is pointless, the top teams are not going to build specials teams just for this silly tournament. It does not make any economical or logical sense. The US club lax has already identified the top teams. It is what it is, sorry that your team is at the bottom of the list.
The Express team is a better team. Everyone likes to make excuses, but in the end they are just better at this age. They have 3 or 4 kids on that team that are really good players. Their faceoff kid is lights out and they have a pole and an attack that are light years ahead of anyone at this current age. Good for them someone has to win !!

So why do they get crushed annually by Hawks, LXC, Tigrs , Eclipse, sweetlax & fca?

OK, see you at the WSYL Chip!!
Everyone knows about the older kids on those teams and there is nothing you can do about it. Long Island is watered down! If there was only one program on LI and you chose the best for that team they would beat all of those teams. If the clubs got together and put an All Star team picked by coaches without kids on the team that team would be very competitive all over the country. That will never happen because the owners detest each other and would lose money. So until then Older teams like the ones mentioned will dominate.

Don't the non-Long Island teams have other teams in their area competing for talent too? Are their areas as big and populated as Nassau & Suffolk?

There is no doubt the Long Island teams are excellent. Great skills and maybe impressive the kids play really hard. I'm not from LI but my son is on a strong team. I think he might be struggling to keep up. He's small but December b-day so on the older side. I am really focused on him having a good experience (fun), getting better and getting high school ready. Probably not worth spending a significant amount of time arguing over who is better. The Hawks are probably excellent too.

Keep in mind - there are 2 ways for club teams to get better. 1. develop the kids on the team. 2. replace the kids on the team with better players.

There is a third way...hold them back in school to be a year older!

True, but if your son has any chance of playing against seniors as a freshman or even soph, he better get used to playing against 7th graders who are a few months older than him without daddy protecting him.

This is just so dense. One year age differences pre-HS are hugely determinative in terms of speed, strength, quickness, hand-eye, sports IQ, aggressiveness, etc. You seem to admit this. But then you say that a kid needs to play against older kids pre-HS in order to be able to play against older kids at the varsity level. This is just simply made up by you and there is zero evidence that this is true. Do you think any coach would say to a Freshman "you are my third best attackman, but because you didn't play against older kids when you were 12 I am putting you on JV"? And no, you don't have to play against older kids as a 12 year old to prepare for Varsity lacrosse. That is just silly. Its like saying I need to take my 13 yo to an empty parking lot to practice driving so he will be ready to drive when he is 16, or that I will need my 8 year to work on his calculus so that he will be ready for HS math.

And by the way, in an age based youth system, you can always have your kid play up if you, as a parent, thing he needs to play against older kids.
You are and will always be a hammerhead. Look at the champions from 4 years ago and where their kids just got recruited to play.
The last post (#2,351) on age based / hold back just caused me to puke! Can we please stop beating the issue into the ground? Pllllllleeeeeeaaaasseeeee????
Actually it was #310082. Uh-oh got to puke again as I just glanced at it. Please stop discussing 6 months age difference and hold backs, etc. It is beyond a snore. Let the play speak for itself.

Where are all the top clubs playing for fall tourneys? NAL OR NLF only? Also where is the proof the WSYL is being held in MD?
Sweetlax might have something to say about that as they beat express easily... see "most" everyone at the world series in DC.

Sweetlax is good. Finally a team other than Tigers to play for competition.
Nice try. Take a look where the kids on the WSYL championship team from 2016 just committed to play in college.

There are lots of teams in the Hawks geographic area but for a mom to feel really important; she needs to have a Hawks sticker on the window of hew Mercedes SUV (or other minivan if they don't want to start). (Those stickers cost like $2500.00 and they throw in some cool sweats for your son, too.) Otherwise its like you are not really playing lacrosse and there was no point in having your kid fail a grade in middle school. In Long Island there are lots of great teams who each can win and they cannibalize each other, seeming less dominant. In Maryland everyone fights for second place at the 2026 level.

As far as the holdbacks I don't get the complaints. There is a 62 year old on my 45+ team and he does not seem to have any advantage over the younger guys. If anything the exemption guys (under 45) on the roster seem to have the advantage. I am actually thinking of moving some of our scooper's kids to the 7th grade team to see if the pattern holds up.

The same as any other kid and team. Really really upset as well as their parents. And then they move on to the next tournament. Not sure the answer you are looking for.

As a organization they did terrible. Couple 0-3’s , 1-1-1 .
Keep paying for that garbage product . Time has past for the blue.
Legacy, sweettrash, and expression all got blown out by the teams down south this summer. Subpar lacrosse, bloated rosters and turtleneck dads can’t stop the losses. Tuition is due. Pay up for your gear bag.
Anyone know who won the tourney this weekend?

From a totally impartial observer who played these teams the last few years. Sweetlax is very good. Express is a dumpster fire of epic proportions (whos excuse to everything is hold backs) and legacy goes up and down but is not very good.

No no no, 16 are holdbacks, the other 5 are super double secret hold backs. I swear to God, I heard an 11 year old say it on the field after losing to them so there is no way that could be false. It has nothing to do with hard work, just the ages!

This I believe. They are too tall, too good, too tough and have big calf muscles to be 12.
Will the Tigers XXVI be entering the WSYL? That will be telling.
Is the man-child, one man show that is Tigers on age? If so, at 6’ and 180 he is a true beast mode.

Yes, the team was built to be able to participate in age based tourneys. The big kid everyone loves to call a holdback is a September 2007, so he is on age in Pennsylvania. Sorry he lives in an area that logically aligns school age with beginning of school year.

This thread consistently trolls, but this statement I believe. To much detail and consistent with a lot of posts claiming 4 holdbacks for the Hawks.

Well that was the whole reason that team was established in the first place so if they aren't there that would be ridiculous.

I love the way you all talk about not having holdbacks and then reclass your kids to repeat 8th or 9th grade at private schools. Now that Inside Lacrosse is publishing the 2022 Birthdays it will all be there for us to see the truth about NY/LI.

This thread consistently trolls, but this statement I believe. To much detail and consistent with a lot of posts claiming 4 holdbacks for the Hawks.

This is correct and the huge midfielder is not one of the 4 mentioned above!

Sweetlax 2026 will be competing in the World Series of Lacrosse (minus one defender who missed cut off by a week or two). So...

They don't have any big attackmen. SL 2026 has a bunch of little guys.

Too bad they can't use the Florida goalie
Sweetlax has only lost 1 game since the team was assembled in the fall and that was to the Hawks at the North American this summer. Ultimately, this will get settled on the field in the coming months.

Not sure why that is cool. Gad you are playing, but week comp and not more than a game a day seems less than ideal. Wouldn't you rather your boy play 2 games a day against top teams?
How did that go today? Did they play?

My sons team is in this is well. Most of these teams are doing 3-4 fall tournaments in addition to this schedule. It’s a lot of games for a fall season. Kids seem to like it
How was 91 game today?
Yes.....express beat them by a wide margin . Don't renner the exact score but was something like 12-4.
Well all the teams in it are competitive with each other, I do like the tournaments but kids are burnt out, and to be honest, I have other things to do during the day other kids etc, so 1 regular timed game in a way is fine.

They played a bit longer than what a regular game would be. About 80 minutes all together. Express won 22-7. It was not even close.
Props to LILC for setting that up and having teams play so they can compete and grow more.
Express just wrapped up a play day with 3D and the Tigers in NJ. Express won both games.
Express should sweep Denver next summer.

I know express has an insane faceoff kid. Other than that, what’s the big difference between these 2 teams that makes express dominate 91? Goalie? Defense? Attack?
In my opinion it’s not one thing it’s everything. Coaching style, speed and most of all unselfish play and ball movement. Kids on express learn how to play together and not get stuck in “plays”. They fly and move and help each other out . Fun to watch.

Express thinks every team outside of New York that completely dismantles them is full of hold backs. So they think when they get to WSYL none of these teams will be there. The real truth is they are a middling B level team that is good on long Island but gets crushed outside of it. It's going to be a long WSYL for those parents

You have no idea what you're talking about . The express team just this past weekend dismantled team 91 , score was 12-4. Then went to jersey and embarrassed the tigers 10-1. Tigers are one of the top teams in this age bracket . And no they have never played in a B bracket . Nice try though .

After watching a few of their games recently, the ball only makes it to their defensive end about 10% of the time.

At NAL you played in the Blue division against the Black Division lost to FCA which was the B bracket

Red and Silver were your A brackets and Sweetlax lost to Hawks

NAL had a clear A and B setup, but did not label them that way to keep clubs happy. Black (FCA, BLC, Crabs and Top Caliber) and Blue (Express, Legacy, Express North and LE) made up what would be the B division. The A division was Red (Sweetlax, BBL, Madlax and Looneys) and Silver (Hawks, Tigers, Towerman and Prime Time). Express lost the B title to FCA and Hawks beat Sweetlax for the A title.

They played the B bracket at NAL. Until you can step up and play with the best teams in your own state, let alone other states. I do believe Sweetlax was in the Championship of that, then shut up.

There will be multiple MD teams this year, yes, we know about the birth certificates. We also know that Express will search all of Long Island and beyond for additional players for the WSYL team. The tough task will be getting a roster with no more than 23.

Getting a roster of 23 is easy...getting the other parents of the other 17 kids to keep paying while their son isn't even invited is the challenge.

You must not know the parents of the bottom half of that team, they will glad pay to say their boy is on the team and will even order some WSYL gear online while little Johnny sits at home instead of playing due to roster limit.

Did Express pluck top talent from 91 and other LI teams for their WSYL team?

They did not. No one f rom the top 91 team tried out for LI Express. These are generally the same boys that have been together for a few years. There were definitely additions but not from other top programs. They have 3 teams for this age group. The top team has 28 boys. Certainly gonna be some pissed off parents when they cut the roster for the WSYL.

I was told by an Express parent that they plan to put 2 teams from LI in the qualifiers. Whether they have enough talent to spread to 2 teams remains to be seen. Their 2nd team at this age is decent but definitely not on the level as there top team. They would need a few top kids to make it to the WS.
Everyone that complained must of forgot express took out payment durning covid last season . How time heals !!

Is there often movement between the two teams? Not from NY, not ever sure how close the two areas are

No there isn’t
Express has 3 teams at 2026 - LI Express, Express North and Jersey Express (Tribal). LI Express was Haugan. Decent team but carried by a great faceoff kid in Rob Johnson.

Express North (Schreiber) broke up a year ago and many players went to Primetime and a player to Towermen. But, Express North retooled with some reclass players from their 2025 team which broke up this year. These reclassed players made their 2026 team relevant again.

Jersey Express was created this year when Express acquired a good AA program in NJ called Tribal (side note: Express moving in on Leading Edge’s NJ territory... NLF 4 Life ). Those poor Tribal kids and coaches had no idea what hit them because that team was set to make a WS run on their own.

Now, LI Express Haugan has become LI Express CoachC and the best of that old team will merge with the best of Jersey Express and possibly Express North... but Express North might stay on their own.

Express CoachC is coming out hot as the front runners... but what teams are lurking in the shadows.

Let me start by saying you’re a complete fool for putting a child’s name in your post. I don’t care if it’s positive or negative, it’s wrong.

Secondly, your description of the teams isn’t even correct. They have 3 teams on LI alone at this age. They all practice together and the 1st & 2nd teams generally play in the same tournaments.

None of these teams are merging with a NJ team. Also, Express North is still a solid team.

Well Mr Johnson, when you decided to play real competition and not B level. You will see the real difference smile
Funny that you mention fees ....I heard that 91 charged each kid a fee for a one game scrimmage last week . Told the parents they had to pay for the game officials . What a low class organization.

easy to pick the author (ahem seemingly st&lk&r) here, winner = tm
So I guess Legacy truly considers themselves a B team now. They are the host of the Columbus Day tournament and they put their own Legacy Eels in the B bracket with Igloo and Express B teams and other B programs. Sad.. Used to be a competitive team. Or are they just getting pressure/complaints from parents about getting beat up vs A programs, so they want to try to win a B bracket tournament. Good for moral. I wouldn't be shocked if the top players from this team leave this season and definitely by next year (or there better be a merger plan to keep kids around).
The new rankings are out.

This is FAKE NEWS!
Laughed so hard at the “new” ranking. My son’s team played in the Hershey Tournament in late July and was “placed” in the Tigers, Towerman, Sweetlax, Primetime, Hawks bracket. Express was conveniently placed in a much weaker bracket to allow them to dodge the real power teams of 26 lacrosse. Despite this effort to ease their path they lost their last game to a middle of the road team from MD. Also their was no crossover games between brackets to truly insulate them. Despite this “set-up” no one listed their weaker bracket as the B bracket so as to try to legitimize any success they might had had. To claim them 1 in the fake news “new ranking” is an insult to all the teams they dodged throughout the summer. Laughing too hard. 🤑

That is a very poor "photoshop" attempt. Hopefully you decide to spend money on your son's education instead of lacrosse as he will clearly need help.
You're a fool. Express A team wasn't at hershey . That was the B team a d that's why they were in the B bracket you brainless fool .
And to the brainless fool who claims express dodged the A teams , just beat tigers 10-1 last Sunday which was also confirmed on here by a tigers dad . And team 91 the day before also in a blowout. So try to get your facts straight .

No express parent should come on here and ridicule another team for paying “fees”. Hahaha. It’s laughable.
Was the big Tigers kid at the Express game on Sunday?

Agree. Plus, it was an Express run event. I bet you Express collected money from 91 and not their parents. Express parents, were you asked to pay as well?

no, he went to football apparently
Express parents were not asked to pay not have we paid for any scrimmage or tournament. I see the need for you to compare but clearly 91 is a low class organization. Speaking of express , we have had 3 consecutive weeks of scrimmages and play days/tournaments already and have not paid one penny extra . Nice try though .

The big kid absolutely was at the game . Unless they have multiple kids that look like they're in college . And if it's the same kid that you're referring to , he was neutralized . Game over .

The big kid played a lot middie in the Express game. Assume it was because the Express FOGO was so good the Tigers wanted to get the young man more involved in the game. Do any teams have a FOGO that can compete the the Express FOGO - he's really good?

Yes, genius. That was exactly my point. Coach C makes the other teams pay all the fees. Perhaps you’re labeling the wrong organization as low class. Congrats on your 3 weeks of consecutive scrimmages. Now get a life.
What number was the big fella?
Based upon the limited amount of lacrosse I watched this summer I think a case can be made that the big kid on Tigers is the most dominate player in the 2026 class at this point in time. While similar arguments can be made that a few kid on Sweetlax, Express LI, Hawks and Prime Time truly dominate, the sheer height and weight of the Tiger middie make him something truly special.

Hahaha. Thanks, Tiger Dad. The other kids will catch up in size and speed soon. Then we will re-evaluate......

91 dad, it was your parents that were complaining . So go take care of your own house , it’s a mess . For an organization to tell a team that they’re going to a scrimmage but have to pay for it is low class. Happens all the time at 91. Have a friend that plays for 91 and if a coach decides to go outside of “ my lacrosse tournaments “ to challenge the kids the parents have to pay for that too. All facts. Low class corporate parent

Ha,thanks dad. While he is certainly a very good player, I have seen a number of players that are more skilled than him who also have size and speed.

Does not really seem like a "class" issue. Just a different business model.

Very good player indeed, but we saw a kid this summer at NLF (we were just watching as my nephew plays for a MD team that was involved) on Big 4 HHH who was similar size to big Tigers player but seemed much faster and probably more skilled. They were not an impressive team but the one kid was a monster (could be a lot older, no idea on age).
Embarrasses himself at every game! Imagine being so immature you take the spotlight off the kids playing on the field by acting the way the he does on the sidelines! Ha Ha

The biggest difference between the two that Ive seen and both are very good is the kid form Big 4 H is unselfish and makes the pass when he gets doubled or tripled. I do feel bad for the Tigers kid with his dad on the sideline barking at the coaching staff. We saw that at NLF and NAL

I definitely agree on those points. I often wonder with players like that if they would be better or worse without the overbearing dad (probably indifferent, but that's no fun to assume). Most people think better off because of the obnoxiousness, but probably not always the case.

Athletic is not an adjective I would have used.

very weak
The tournaments that they have attempted so far in NY have stunk . Went to one a month ago and there were no face offs allowed and a guy walking around blowing a whistle if there was too much contact. Not sure why they even bother ,would gladly drive to jersey than put up with a PAL style tournament

Are you talking about the obnoxious “Woooooooooooooo!” Dad from Express?

So instead of standing socially distanced on sidelines looking at fields, parents are going to be huddled together talking in parking lot? Makes no sense.

The kid from HHH is the entire team. Last year they were a low level b team at best. Kid scored more goals in one game than entire team did all last summer at NLF and pretty much 80% of their goals this year. Imagine if he was at a program with actual talent development.
Wishful thinking. He is bigger, stronger and faster than most of these kids will become. There are a few athletically and genetically gifted kids, but they are few and far between out there. Interested to see what happens

I thought HHH was one of the best clubs up in PA? I know they have some older teams that are legit. I wasn’t impressed with the 2026 squad (outside of the obvious kid), but my older boys have faced some good HHH teams over the years.

I am involved with leagues ad tournaments all over and coached in PA after college, was down in MD for a few years and am now back home in LI and I'll say the PA teams tend to be different as they never have the depth that we do up here or down in MD. Lax is growing, but still not getting enough big time athletes in PA so teams are often based around one big kid who is physically dominant instead of a full squad of kids who are dangerous. That's the HHH team with their dominant oversized middie, that's Tigers with their man child attack/middie, that PA RoughRiders with their monster attackman, that's NXT with their huge overly padded middie and probably a few other PA teams that I don't know/haven't seen. They all rely so much on one player who is currently bigger/stronger/faster (or at least fast enough). The top teams up here and the top ones down in MD are just too deep for those teams. We can matchup one on one with the big kid and double when needed and then have an advantage at every other spot on the field.
What’s that stunad express dad gonna do now that the tournament is canceled, how’s he gonna grab the attention he so desperately needs? 🤣

He’s hosting a Columbus Day party at the local park. He’ll just yell at anyone walking by.

No one here cares about PA teams. I have no doubt the kids you mentioned are beasts, but they are all probably summer/spring 2007 bdays at best pretending to be true 2026s.

My nephew plays in MD for a strong club and my bro-in-law said he has played and/or seen HHH, PA RR and Tigers this past summer (no idea on NXT as he said they are more B level) and says none of the 3 big kids being referenced could possibly be true 2026s. He said all 3 look like they drove to the tourney which is no surprise given what I hear from the teams south of us.

Sweetlax is heading down to Philly for NXT Nightfall this weekend. Why are all the LI teams sitting at home and not playing? Very frustrating.

Agreed. The biggest problem is all these big clubs have their own tournament companies now. They make a lot less money by putting their teams in tournaments they don’t own. 91 is by far the worst when it comes to this

Agree. $3-4K as a "discounted" tuition due to COVID is obscene. All to travel to NJ and CT to play the same teams over and over. Insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We complain and still pay to be on these "better" teams (i.e., 91, Express, Igloo) on LI because we think it will serve these kids better in the long run. Time to reevaluate lining these programs pockets. They're making out better than they did pre-COVID.

Absolutely correct . Dynamic is the worst offender. They put out about 20 tournaments per year (way too much) and then force their teams to play in them even when they're weak teams and brackets . When a coach decides he wants to take the team to a different tournament to face better competition the coach than has to go to the parents and ask them to pay for that tournament. Ridiculous. And more recently I have even heard that they even asked parents to pay for referee fees when they scrimmaged a team on long island . Awful .
Not sure about the other clubs but express has played every weekend for 4 straight weeks . When there hasn't been a tournament they have played at least two scrimmages per weekend and still going .

I’m not an express dad, and there’s plenty of people that complain about them. But at least they only run a few tournaments and not the absurdity of 91 and my lacrosse tournaments. This allows them to put there kids in competitive tournaments that they don’t own. Wonder if this is the reason why they are the dominate team (on Long Island ) at this age group ?

You hit the nail on the head . While there may be a lot of negative talk about express and I have heard them all . One thing I will tell you is that they actually seek out the best teams to play. For example last week they went to jersey and played the tigers from PA one if the best in the 2026 year . At express they feel that you only get better by playing the better teams . I know that 91 seems to donut differently and it's blatantly obvious that they play in their own tournaments where they control the brackets and face the weaker teams .

I get what you are saying about 91 getting stuck with own tourneys, but why is 91 MD getting to play in an NXT tourney this weekend and we are told we can’t on LI? PA is not on the travel restriction list which is why Sweetlax is going. The tourney isn’t on the “91 do not play list” as 91 MD is going, so why can’t we?

I may be wrong. But 91 Maryland is completely separate entity from 91 Long Island. As a result they are not tied to dynamic sports or my lacrosse tournaments. From what I understand 91 in other states is similar to you buying a franchise. Independently owned but still have to pay to use the name.

PA is not on the travel restriction list which is why Sweetlax is going. The tourney isn’t on the “91 do not play list” as 91 MD is going, so why can’t we?

What states are on the NY travel restriction list still?
Sounds like you have some questions for the directors at 91. Why don’t you ask them ? I would . It’s a shame , from what I hear this current situation (pandemic) has really Shined the light on some decisions at 91 which a lot of people have always seen and left as a result . I guess the rest of you are seeing it as well. I guess that’s what happens when you’re owned by a corporate parent

At least they are getting out of here and going to play some new teams. My son and his teammates are so bored with the current setup of local only play.

I’m not an express dad, and there’s plenty of people that complain about them. But at least they only run a few tournaments and not the absurdity of 91 and my lacrosse tournaments. This allows them to put there kids in competitive tournaments that they don’t own. Wonder if this is the reason why they are the dominate team (on Long Island ) at this age group ?

You are correct....each club should have one fall and one spring/summer tournament (express does that as well as legacy ....) Then each club goes to each other's tournaments as well as some out if state teams and we reciprocate. This nonsense of dynamic (team 91) putting out 20 tournaments is pure garbage . They end up being weak tournament's filled with 91 teams anyway . Enough already.
I suspect it is only one person on here bashing 91 and responding to himself. There hasn’t been this much activity on this thread during working hours in a loooooooong time. If you’re so unhappy, pack your lax bag and jump the fence. I’m sure the turf is greener and without pellets.

We are getting ripped iff on LI . Tuition cost vs time playing etc its 1 big scam .

Agreed. The biggest problem is all these big clubs have their own tournament companies now. They make a lot less money by putting their teams in tournaments they don’t own. 91 is by far the worst when it comes to this
No one learned from the shadiness they did from the covid .

What shadiness? Specifics please?

Do people really consider 91 to be the 2nd best team on LI? I watched them lose to a very mediocre 2way team today. Also told Shore2shore played very close game against them. Very overrated if they’re considered #2.

Express is clearly number 1. Number 2 is a toss up between 91, igloo, shore to shore, outlaws etc.
That 2way team should be embarrassed. They should get those kids tutors if they got left back that many times and are still in 7th grade.

What are you saying? Every single kid is 12 years old on 2way. You must be a team 91 parent that is upset. I'll agree with the previous comment that says your child's team is overrated.

Cut it out.
Just sop unless 2way cornered the market on 6 foot one inch 12 year olds, its clear that they are not of age. If you dont feel it makes a difference, thats fine also. But please do not try to pass those kids off as 12 years old, its sad.

2Way kid told my kid he was 15. Sounds like you may need the tutor bruh.
There is no mistaking that 91 just isn't very good . They can talk about size of players etc.....but they have been beaten by many teams and have looked horrible .

At these play days lots of older kids from older teams. like 2024 kids, playing in 2026 to get cheap wins. Only pay attention to tournament scores.
[ChillLaxin] show there.

Anyone who comes on here bashing a 12 year old team should have to also say who their kid played for. So......what team does your kid play for?

Did igloo and express play again on Sunday?
Igloo B team (Deep Freeze) and Express Wieczorek, which is the Express B team (stop it with the AA/A/B team garbage).. CoachC is their top team and they are the best LI 2026 in the age bracket as of now. I understand that the top 13-15ish boys are always on the CoachC team. The next 10-12 or so boys rotate.. They can go and sit on the bench/play scrub time for a tournament with the CoachC team and then go and get playing time with Wieczorek team. So the Express kids from 16-30 might swing up and down and/or play with both. The last batch in the pool (players 31-45ish) always are on the Wieczorek team, and probably get less time because of those swing players who come in and out. That's the Express model.... and it works for them as an organization and their team/parents.

Obviously you don’t have a part on these teams... They have 3 teams and are very clearly defined by skill level. They all train together but are and have been completely divided for every play day/tournament this year. For instance not 1 single player from CoachC’s team played on Sunday. The A team has about 28 boys, B team about 22 boys and C team about 20.

28?? That's ridiculous, especially at $4k per player

Correct. If anyone shifts, it's kids from the B team that may be fringe players and will play with the 3rd team. None of the top team comes down, nor do any kids from the 2nd team go up. There have been very clear lines drawn at this point.

But those kids on the C team will certainly be lead to believe they "could easily move up and may one day be on the top team". CoachC knows what he's doing. Everyone pays same money to say they're part of Express and the hope they'll one day be relevant to CoachC. The C team kid practices at the same time as the A kids, so he'll go home thinking he's part of the "in" crowd. Cant fault CoachC... knows how to keep the money coming in.

Total power play move by CoachC. Basically demote Igloo and 91 to other division to not let them play against the solid competition. Roar and Outlaws in their bracket is a total joke. Those two, along with United, Legacy and Express Wieczorek are all B teams at best. This was a good pole at Igloo and 91 by CoachC.

Coach C is the true wizard.
Avoiding the tigers? You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about . Express buried them 10-1 about 3 weeks ago .

Didn’t express just dominate the tigers something like 12-1 about 2 weeks ago?

If you want to say outlaws and roar don’t belong in the division then fine. But 91 and igloo don’t belong in that division either. Both teams get throughly beaten by express and get crushed by good competition at NLF. The name only carries you so far. You guys just need to accept that 91 and igloo don’t have great teams at this age group

If I am looking at this correctly, Black bracket plays Saturday and Sunday while the Orange bracket only plays Saturday. Maybe the brackets were formed by teams signing up for 1 day or 2 days?

The only team United beat a few weeks ago was Legacy... who everyone seems to beat these days. Igloo beat United rather easily.

Stop referring to scrimmages and play days as games. Only tourney games matter. Sweetlax will run the table.

If you want to say outlaws and roar don’t belong in the division then fine. But 91 and igloo don’t belong in that division either. Both teams get throughly beaten by express and get crushed by good competition at NLF. The name only carries you so far. You guys just need to accept that 91 and igloo don’t have great teams at this age group

If I am looking at this correctly, Black bracket plays Saturday and Sunday while the Orange bracket only plays Saturday. Maybe the brackets were formed by teams signing up for 1 day or 2 days?


Orange is playing Sunday

Stop referring to scrimmages and play days as games. Only tourney games matter. Sweetlax will run the table.

Until they run into the 2way buzzsaw
Coach C has more than enough kids to make 2 teams so I dont see 7 games being an issue
Apparently some teams are playing TriStar on Long Island. Has any other team heard this yet?

Igloo and 91 are playing in the orange or "b" bracket.

I know. My post was in response to the 91 or igloo dad who was complaining about being railroaded by Coach C

Win win.

Smart move from a developmental standpoint.

Also good for everyone else as it should help all better know where their team fits in the rankings.

Couldn’t agree more

Coach C is the true wizard.

Likely a choice by the player. The Express is 10-15 goals better, why wouldn’t you want to play on the best team if you were good enough? It makes sense, right?

The choice by a 12 year old paying 4k plus . Just stop player choice . Just like “my son really wants to play”

Supposedly he plans to bring 2 teams to the qualifier. If he already has 28 or so on that team he may possibly be able to pull it off.

I think that team carries 3 goalies, which WSYL only allows for 2. So, unless they play another position, I'm guessing that would be one.

This is just what i've heard. I don't know anything about the teams, kids or talent. Like I said, ask CoachC.
Because like him or not he’s a brilliant business man. “Come play for the B team......we think we have a good enough group to have 2 teams qualify for the WSYL. This is why he’s fielding 3 teams, yet 91 doesn’t have enough kids to field a 2nd team.
gotta love how Express roster is never finalized.
The roster is never finalized and yet the best kid on 91 felt it necessary to make the move to express lol.... whatever Mr C is doing it's working .
91 lost a good player, but he wasn’t the best player.

Maybe we should play a round robin, no playoff/championship game, no score keeping, and give everyone a participation trophy.

Why play on a club team?...why play at all?

Honestly, most dense thing I have read today.
Maybe he left b/c 91 is terrible. They have NOT gotten better like other teams have. That 91 team won’t be alright as some say they’re definitely not like other 91 teams that are decent or good.

Really? Then your name must be Jake.
I know a parent on the 91 team and he said the player is absolutely their top player . 91 is a mess and now even worse than they were before .

Ummmm, I don’t know? To develop and become a better player?
The 10 goal differential between express and 91 just grew to 15 . When you lose your top player it is safe to say the team is a disaster.
Big Middie was not there best player ? When was the last time you saw that team play ..2017 ?
Getting 91 best player ...Any chance coach C let him get a free ride ??

Simply, NO
Right now on Long Island there is Express and then everyone else. Express is making there team stronger and stronger and to be honest good for them. If there model works and the parents are ok paying there tuition costs and whatever playing time their kid gets so be it. The drop off after Express is significant but should make for competitive and fun games between all the other second tier teams.

I completely agree but their tuition costs are in line with other top clubs like 91 and Igloo. The tuition costs drop off for other clubs.

Only hear this lost argument from lost clubs. Seems like the best developed players are usually on teams winning. Now go get me a cold beer.

My son played in the WSYL a few years ago and it was terrific. They came in second and one of his favorite lacrosse memories. Enjoy the journey.

Correct. While I don't think winning has to be top priority, a successful team has the advantage of player retention and attracting new, better players that will improve the team annually. This will make practice more competitive and the players will develop quicker.
World Series?
Please turtlenecks.
Look over some regions that qualify and justify your expenses for attending.
There are teams each year that qualify by winning their rec tournament. Spend your $4k per persons and come back and tell us all how awesome of an experience it was. Dropping $10k+ to chest pump at the water cooler must be awesome. Wish I lived your lives.

Sooooo, is it 4k, or 10k? It is in the DC area this year, so it is an easy drive. The per player fee is hundreds of you advance that far. Your math is a little off.

Wow, you're drunk as a skunk.
It does NOT cost 10K. My son played in Denver and I went with a family of 4. I would say it was about half that price with hotels, flights, food and car. For those going to MD or DC (wherever it's gonna be) I wouldn't expect it to be more than hotel & food. If you're club is telling you to pay additional then that's an issue.
The best part about this thread is that most of us have spent $16,000 on club lacrosse to date.

In 2 years when our "studs" are in 9th grade an athletic kid is going to get grabbed by a coach at gym class that has never touched a stick and be a 5 star recruit.

Clubs don't matter. Well rounded Athletes DO!

Legacy will see if they can hang sunday . Can they make a come back ??? If not team is done enough already ....

Might be the densest comment I have seen in awhile. This may have been true in the mid 90s but it’s not happening now. Many of these kids have been playing travel ball since second grade. It’s sad, but If you try and pick up a stick for the first time in 9th grade.......it’s to late. It’s not to late to maybe play in high school........but you aren’t becoming a 5 star recruit.
I’m following Oktoberfest through my tourney app. . Is the Express Channing team the best Express 2026 team ? Also, it seems the Express Weiczorek team may have improved some, I believe they’re the third string express team for 2026. Unless there’s only two this year. ? Thx guys

They have 3 teams. Weiczorek seems to have taken over the 2nd team. CoachC took the top team. There is another bottom team I assume who Weiczorek was coaching previous years before he moved up.
Interesting tourney. Tigers didn’t do as well as I thought. As previously stated, looks like Orange Storm and Eels aren’t as dominate as they were.
Why did Igloo no-show?
Express vs Sweetlax was an awesome game today. Both excellent teams!

Agreed about tigers. They had some big kids but we’re not as impressive as I thought they would be. Legacy was never been that good. Orange storm has fallen hard and fast. Express and sweetlax were the two most impressive team this weekend.
Last year legacy was an A level team. This year definitely a B. Anyone know went on over there ? Did they lose a bunch of kids ?
How can express now beat Sweetlax when just this summer it was a total mismatch? Even prime time. Great to see them make the jump.
Express is now an all holdback team. Enjoy the fall success when nobody is checking .

Zero hold backs. Good one though. Hard work and dedication pays off.
Wouldn't matter if they had some holdbacks. Sweetlax team didn't play their best game against a very good team and the face-off kid is the difference maker for Express. They'll play again and people should truly appreciate the level of lacrosse both of those teams play.
Cant wait to see Express at NAL and NLF but will we see the same team at WSYL?

FYI... i watched sweetlax play in multiple age groups at Tristar. That is where you need to start checking licenses and IDs.

Mostly same kids that beat Primetime and Express last year. Added some kids. Shut down of COVID and never really restarted. In all serious it's baffling.
And LI is a small lax community, and everyone knows everyone. I know for a fact that all the kids on Express are age eligible for the WSYL, that's why CoachC built/ poached that team, to win it. As soon as they were able they were practicing 5x a week while Legacy/91 were still shut down and only had 1 practice before their first tourney. Express took top kids from the other LI programs, but they were practicing and playing, so who can blame them for leaving.

Chan is the top team. Wieczorek is the 2nd team (who was in NJ Sunday). There is also a 3rd team that he coaches. The 3rd team (with a few kids from 2nd team) is who played at Nickerson on Saturday.

Sorry sweetlax daddy you are out of your league. LIE will own you forever now.
Coach C put together a very good team for sure. I am curious why so many kids would stay and sit on the sidelines though. I watched 2 of their games this weekend and it seemed that they only played MAYBE 18 of the kids in each game. I counted 29 on the sideline. Is it to just say “I’m on the best team”? I’m sure the kids not playing are very good also but to stay and not ever play seems like a waste to me.
As a Roar dad who doesn't have a stick in this battle the following have a chance to win the WSYL (all depending how many kids are holdbacks or not): ExpressC, Sweet Lax, Tigers, Prime Time and BBL. Express moves ball good but there are better athletes on the others.
On Saturday evening a parent and sibling of an Igloo player tested positive for COVID. The Igloo 2026 player tested NEGATIVE. Igloo immediately informed Tristar and while no other players were in close contact with a positive person per CDC guidelines, they determined the only choice for the safety of all players/participants of the tournament was to pull out.

Sooooo, the Hawks don't have a chance??? Only one of the above teams has beaten them and it was the Tigers by 1 in OT.
To the dad who's kid is not on the team but watching the express games and counting players as well as playing time .....GET A LIFE.

And to the roar dad ....was there a point in your post . Saying the other teams that face express have better athletes. Express beat every single team you mentioned and simply overpowered most of them . Not sure what your post means but again , another guy not on any of the mentioned teams analyzing express lol....GET A LIFE

For the youth lacrosse analyst dads on here ......express beat the tigers 10-1 recently .

Sure sounds like you’re the parent of one of the kids not playing and watching from the sideline. Enjoy the ride.

How is the Sweetlax NY goalie? They cant use the Florida goalie for WSYL.

Like someone from Sweet Lax posted prior to the weekend...tournaments are what matters, play days don't count. The 9-8 win vs Express this summer at Darien HS meant nothing, only pay attention to the result from Tristar.

He was very good, he scored their first goal a minute into the game.

And to the roar dad ....was there a point in your post . Saying the other teams that face express have better athletes. Express beat every single team you mentioned and simply overpowered most of them . Not sure what your post means but again , another guy not on any of the mentioned teams analyzing express lol....GET A LIFE

Dude....you literally count players on other teams that your son is not on and have something to say about kids playing on other teams . You have issues . Try a hobby or maybe medication.
Hahahaha, this guy literally goes to watch other teams and counts kids and who does/does not play? Wow, what is this world coming to. So sad .

Are you sure that wasnt the Florida kid?

I’m sure the kids not playing are very good also but to stay and not ever play seems like a waste to me.

There are some parents on express(and other top teams) who feel like practicing with a top team is super beneficial, even if they receive very little or no real game time. Seems crazy to most of us. But if they choose to do it. Who cares
I admit I get a kick out of the banter. But counting not only just the kids on the sidelines but how many get in the game is very creepy.

This is not an Express dad talking here just someone trying to stir the pot. Considering tigers 3-1 against us (time before tigers won 11-1), yeah the play day win felt good but we haven't beaten them in a tournament yet. We watched them after their prime time win and they had sweeetlax on ropes early and later without their goalie & injured kids. Express ain't taking them lightly.

Maybe it is the guy at Tristar whos team was not playing and was filming the other teams & comments a lot on here? No judging but.....
Why is nobody talking about 2way?

What's to talk about? They obviously use older players and they still got CRUSHED by Express and Sweetlax. There is nothing to talk about.
My son played against Express this weekend. I didn't count the players on the sideline but I would agree that there are a ton of them. I would also agree that there is definitely a benefit to practicing with players of that caliber. If they're not playing in the games and are fine with it then that's on them.

Not that it really matters, but MD 91 is not even a top 25 team at this point.

Maybe beat the Hawks before you rank yourself ahead of them.
What is your logic of dropping Hawks to #2 when all they have done is win every tournament this summer? Doesn’t your LIE team need to beat the Hawks to claim they are the best team? Not affiliated with LIE or Hawks, just saying....

You might be close with these rankings but 91 has looked really bad . It sure they are even in the top 20 anymore . And agree with the person here , express has tk beat the Hawks before you can rank them #1. That hasn't happened yet .

Agreed. My son plays for Towermen and we played both at NAL. We beat the Tigers by 2-3 and got blown out by the Hawks. I was surprised that the Tigers beat the Hawks. According to this forum, that is their only loss to any of the teams you listed.

Do you remember the time we came to LI and left 4 of your kids with ice packs sitting on the bench? Do you remember coming to Delaware and both Express and Express North got beat soundly. Hawks havent lost to a team from LI

Don't worry. This was posted by an Express dad just to poke the Hawks dads.

Oh we remember the dirty play. See you soon if you stop ducking good tournaments vs tier c teams.
You obviously don't know anyone on the the Sweetlax roster because they really don't care who has holdbacks and will happily play any top ranked team anywhere. Express won at Tristar and congrats to them, but Sweetlax played the toughest schedule last weekend and would gladly run it back. The team that played this weekend is the same team that will make it to the WS, minus 1 pole that missed the cutoff by 2 weeks.

Nice one troll. Guaranteed this was not an Express parent. They'll play at some point and it will be a great game. Who really cares who wins a game with 12 years old's vs 12-14 year old's?

Guess you haven't heard that the Hawks will be at the WSYL. With their birth certificates.
The only way to end this ridiculous peeing match is to square off at the WSYL which keeps the playing field level so you don’t have a 14 year old man child playing against 12 and 13 year olds who haven’t started puberty yet. And I won’t be surprised if the following teams don’t enter because they will have to leave their best players at home due to age: hawks, Looneys, Laxachusetts, sweetlax upstate.

Maybe the hawks are the team to beat this year. Maybe not. My question is if Long Island is so soft......why has the region won the event every year ? Not only have they won the event every year, I’m pretty sure it’s 2 Long Island teams in every final. Until someone else wins it......they are the region to beat

Unfortunately the WSYL rules make it possible for clubs to create special “WSYL” teams. Don’t worry, the Hawks will be filling all of the vacant hold back slots with all-stars from DMV area. Hawks will easily sweep the WSYL.

Someone actually broke down the Hawks 4 players that won't be there and their birth date a little while back. You may want to scroll a few pages back. They will be there minus 4 kids and only 1 is big and he was the add last year. Sorry to burst your bubble

It should be a fun event. I guess we can stop talking about who is better as it will be settled on the field (for any adults that really care).

He was very good, he scored their first goal a minute into the game.

Are you sure that wasnt the Florida kid?


100% Upstate. The Florida goalie hasn't played with Sweetlax in a year. The team carries two goalies bother from Upstate but only one traveled this past weekend.

I would think that Hawks, Express, and Sweetlax are separating themselves from the rest of the pack. Will be interesting to see who is #4.

Remember LXC guy saying same nonsense before they went into irrelevance,,,,Sweetlax and Express are no where near the Hawks. We crushed Sweetlax this summer.
Unfortunately, WSYL unlikely to happen in 2021 due to COVID. Most teams aren't going to be able to travel to DE in March if current COVID trend rates continue. Maybe they'll hold it for 3 age groups in 2022?

The Hawks and their holdbacks certainly didn't crush Sweetlax, but looks like we can settle this on the field at the WS... if they actually attend.

Sweet Lax should worry less about the Hawks and more if they will even make it past the qualifier. Total joke trying to compare SL to the Hawks

No clue on Laxachusetts. They have been quiet on here and on the field. Are they carrying a large amount of older kids? I would guess Express, Sweetlax, Eclipse and PT from the North. Hawks, Tigers, BBL and VLC or Towermen in the East. Assuming that the Madlax all star team design doesnt hold up against quality teams that have been playing together.

Express splits their 33 kid team and sends 2 teams. Sweetlax and Eclipse.

Interesting if true but I can see this happening. Yes i've seen these teams play and no i don't have a relation to express.

Tigers
Hawks
Towerman
Madlax
VLC
BBL

No clue on Laxachusetts. They have been quiet on here and on the field. Are they carrying a large amount of older kids? I would guess Express, Sweetlax, Eclipse and PT from the North. Hawks, Tigers, BBL and VLC or Towermen in the East. Assuming that the Madlax all star team design doesnt hold up against quality teams that have been playing together.

Express splits their 33 kid team and sends 2 teams. Sweetlax and Eclipse.

A&B or 2 equal teams?

Coach Chan isn't losing. No way he makes 2 even teams. He'll make the best 1st team possible to win it all and the rest will play on the other team with the best kids that are already on it.

You forgot AAAAA and AAAA+
It's A and B and honestly, the 3rd team is developmental. I'm not even sure I'd give them a letter.
I only say that because of the stark difference between his top team and the 3rd team. The top team runs like a top. They don't miss a beat.
The 2nd team has potential, once they make some tough cuts. Even the 2nd team can't compete with the first team.

Most clubs can't qualify with one team and they will try to send two, that's the point.

Rebels 26 team is not that good. Express W could be the B or the C team. It’s tough to tell which one your playing on a particular day
Is blatant on the 14th canceled ?
I sure hope not. I heard they were having trouble with fields in Middletown. Anyone else have any info ?
Any word on what 2026 teams are registered?
It’s not happening in Middletown from what I heard.
It looks like there’s a schedule up on tourney machine

I’m getting real tired of these “tournament companies” putting on events before they’ve even secured field space. Blatant was in October then cancelled. Then moved to the 14th .....cancelled. Give me a break. Stop saying your going to put on an event if your not 100 percent positive you have the fields and clearance to play. My Lollipop tournaments has cancelled several events due to “field problems”. Enough already

Express plays in a tournament or 3 team play day literally every weekend. AA is playing Eclipse, Primetime & 2way this weekend in CT and their B team is playing a couple teams on LI. Sorry to hear about other disorganized programs.

I wasn’t complaining about my club. They have given us plenty of tournaments in the fall. I was complaining about the tournament companies that keep canceling events at the last second due to field space.
Trump’s press conference is blaming holdbacks
Yea we’ll I’m complaining it is complete nonsense. Don’t advertise a tournament if the fields are not secured.

I agree. It’s like these tournament people advertise a tournament with a date, make teams sign up, then try to find a field.

I see all these teams doing play days/tourneys. My kid's darn team is just cashing checks. Been in two crappy tourneys all fall (away of course). Would be great just to do games vs teams from LI every weekend. We did last year, but I guess the director can't make money off of them and stopped it.

Can someone comment whether it's true that express plays in a tournament or a couple scrimmages every weekend. I was told this during the week but seemed like more than what most are getting. Thanks
There’s 3 express teams. So you would have to be more specific. Mike C believes in practicing and playing a lot. Yes there are to many kids on the teams and some on the top team will not play much. As a parent who’s had kids who play in Express and 91, I will say that Mike C works a lot harder to find you games to play. 91 is so entrenched in their tournament company the coaches are limited to what they can do. Covid has really exposed this.
And Turtles, LILC, Express A,B,C teams, Roar are playing every weekend. 91 and Legacy are just cashing checks. Schedule some scrimmages or play days and stop the scam of trying to go out of state for your own tourneys. Son’s team did it last year, but not this year since director can’t cash in.
Did the express A team play in Northport today or was that their B team? I heard both teams mentioned today. Very good team either way. Which team is on tourney machine playing in Connecticut tomorrow?
Express team in Northport must have been two levels combined. They had like 35 kids. Kids looked good though.

It was the B team in Northport. They didn’t have 35 kids there. There was 22 including the 2 goalies.
Who’s counting the kids? With that discrepancy, it seems like the same people counting presidential votes.

Was it their B team as in A, B and C? Or, was it their B team as in AA, A and B.

3 teams and they spin differently every time to make sure the parents feel their kid is so close to being an A or AA player. LOL.
If your going with AA, A, and B then I believe it was their A team. If we’re going the normal way of A, B, and C, then I believe it was their B team. Either way a good team nonetheless.

They actually don't spin things. They're pretty upfront and honest about where your kid falls and what kind of competition they'll have them play with.
As far as Saturday, it was probably 22-23 kids, but definitely not 35. It was their 2nd team. However you want to classify that, it's up to you.

My son plays for the Rebels. I was told it was Express’s 2nd team. I agree, good looking team and well coached. Their 3rd team is pretty weak. My son played them a few weeks ago at Nickerson beach.
I thought Express had two teams. The A team with a heavy roster and their second team. Is this incorrect?

It’s already been discussed. They have 3 teams.
They have 5 teams now. Each with about 36-37 kids.
NAL is up on tourney machine. Unfortunately we can’t face the MD teams, but a solid field nonetheless. we’ll see if Express can take down Sweetlax again.

Awesome. Let’s drive to Delaware (where we can’t stay overnight due to Covid) and play a bunch of teams from Long Island, WestChester and Jersey. What a great idea!

NAL has been split in two. NY and NJ teams will play each other in NJ. MD, PA and others will play each other in DE.

Towerman hammerhead normally barking about NAL. They even still around? Have they played this fall?
Who wins NAL jersey?
express
Sweetlax could run the table and possibly prime time but express is def the favorite, best team money can buy. Just hope the pandemic subsides in time for spring and summer tournaments.
There is express and sweetlax then everyone else . Unfortunately the way the bracket is set up the weaker teams could go 3-0 not having to play sweetlax or express.

Watched these 2 play in NJ a couple weeks ago. Both VERY good teams.

Yes, winner of Sweetlax/Express is the clear top team. It would be fun if our winner could play the PA winner (presumably Tigers or Madlax) for an ultimate NAL Fall championship.
Not sure what has happened since the abbreviated summer, but what has changed that has express now a top team at this age? All along it has been, hawks, tigers, laxachusetts and recently sweet lax. Good to see a LI team emerge, but would love to know how/why

I would say the biggest thing his team has over all the other top teams is depth. He has 3 teams at this age group while other top clubs struggle to field a 2nd team. His 2nd liners could be top liners on most other clubs. His third liners won’t play much and the parents are ok with that. He practices a lot and plays a lot of games against good teams. This attracts top players. Now that they have created serious separation from other top LI clubs(at this age group) top players from other clubs want to play there. They recently had a middie leave 91 in the middle of the fall season to go play for him. That would never have happened in the past.
Express over Sweetlax 7-6 in OT. Amazing game. Both teams are great.
Interesting to hear how folks saw the LIE vs Primetime play out. PT is a good team and seemed to be playing well today. Do they simply run out of gas in the championship game?

Great game as expected and a travesty that they didn’t play again in the championship game due to ridiculous tie breaker rules. Sweetlax played tougher schedule and beat Primetime head to head, yet PT played LI in championship game due to goals against rule. Sweetlax and LIE best teams on the fields today.

It’s too bad actually as everyone would’ve rather seen LIE play Sweetlax again. Sweetlax was up on PT 8-2 at the half and took their foot off the pedal looking forward to the rematch with LIE. Ultimately, won only 8-6 and that affected goals against tiebreaker. Those are the rules, but after watching these teams play, can’t imagine anyone would argue who the best teams were today.
No doubt , express and sweetlax then all of the rest .. unfortunately because of the way brackets are made up you won't always see the two best teams in the championship. For example there are teams that don't want to play certain teams and today there were teams that didn't want to play express or sweetlax . So they have to play with the schedules and move things around . Then the better teams have to play each other and knock each other out of the championship game . That's what happened today and why sweetlax wasn't in the final . But everyone knows that express and sweetlax were the top two teams .

PT is a very mediocre team at best. Good team but not elite.
Express and Sweetlax the best 2 teams there today by far. Everyone else is behind by far. What's with 91 Orange? They are a good B team at best.

Nothing says you are a team to talk about like coming in 4rth sweetlax. Stunards.learn math. Primetime finished ahead of you.

Sweetlax came in 5 th place easy on the whippets
Interesting since LI Express beat Jersey Express 6 to 5 in sudden death overtime to get to Finals against Prime Time.

Sweetlax actually finished in 4th place.
PT looked like they ran out of gas.. they only had 4 subs on the sideline. Why would they show up with such a small roster? Can’t blame it blame it on football

If that helps you feel better, then by all means sleep well tonight lol. Sweetlax has willingly played the top ranked teams as often as possible this year and not sure everyone else can claim the same. PT played Team 91 and Igloo, which are "B" level teams, prior to losing to Sweetlax and LIE. Only got to play in the championship due to tiebreaker rules, which is fine, but let's not confuse that with the 2 elite teams that played here this weekend.

The rest of us see you rationalizing all your losses for coming in 5th place SL chump.

Unlike the Hawks real teams show up to play regardless if they are missing kids for other sports. Hawks are not a top team anymore

"Almost" and "should have" lol. I almost $&@?$& jennifer Anniston! Should have!

“Almost” and “should have” are the words of a team that loses.

Unlike the Hawks real teams show up to play regardless if they are missing kids for other sports. Hawks are not a top team anymore

I wish my boys teams had less kids. They may have run out of gas but I bet the gets had a great and got better at lacrosse.
91 team for 2026 is horrible. Is the director who is ruining the 2025 team coaching them too?

Maybe he can go for the 2 for 1 deal. Trust the process my arse.

Your right....it is horrible. But the 2025 coach is not the coach. The 2026 team has been ruined with daddy ball and allegiance to massapequa and wantagh. As a result they have kept kids around for too long that have no business being there.
My son's take on the teams he played: LE not in the right bracket; Sweetlax most skilled players, but not as tough as others in some spots; Jersey Exp very physical and cocky but in a good way for them; Prime Time no idea how they got to championship, should get crushed by sweetlax and Jersey Express.
New ranks: Express, Tigers, Prime Time, Sweet Lax, Mad Lax

So apparently head to head matchups don’t matter lol. Sweetlax has beaten the Tigers, PT and Madlax easily this year and has beaten LIE as well, but LIE has beaten them twice, which puts express ahead for now. Either way, this will continue to play out (hopefully) into 2021 and until any of these other teams can beat express or sweetlax, the conversation stops there.
excellent seeing teenagers troll grown men here
Anyone know anything about the Recon team?

Sweet Lax dad can you go back to your board? No one cares what you have to say as you are from an irrelevant part of NY. This is a LI board. Oh and your team stinks.

It's not a LI board and you're simply another keyboard warrior that has trouble with basic facts. The Sweetlax team has only lost to the Annapolis Hawks and LIE since last fall... all of which were very close games. The team is very good and certainly deserving of its ranking. In fact, they've beaten the following top 25 ranked teams; 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 21, 22, and 23. So call it for what it is and don't forget that the unless your kid plays for the Hawks or LIE, you haven't beaten them. Lastly, these games are played by 12/13 year old boys and not keyboard warriors. Stick to facts and I hope you help your son understand the importance of competing on the field vs. hiding behind a desk.

no way that was an Express parent, that parent has no clue if they think SL stinks.
The last tournament that had the largest selection of top 2026 teams was the National Lacrosse Federation Club Nationals tournament July 2019 at UMASS. Sadly due to COVID19 there was not another tournament this Summer or Fall that had such a large number of the best teams across the country. Sweetlax lost to Madlax in the semis. Tommyknockers lost to Laxachusetts in the semis. Laxachusetts was the champ. LI Express and Express North only made the quarterfinals. https://tourneymachine.com/Public/R...ivision=h20190705131730309e8c662c045fe43

Not a valid argument. A lot changes in a year, more hold backs are added to teams this Fall.
seems like many moons ago... A lot of changes since then.

Agreed....sweet lax and express had a mutual respect for each other when they played . No express parent would say that sweetlax stinks . Well after the game the kids from both teams were talking to each other as two teams who respected each other and felt like they were the best teams there . Why this conversation has to go into the gutter is anyone’s guess

So they are just hanging out in Massachusetts and not playing good teams for the last 16 months because no tournaments meet their standard of competition? All of the other top teams (except Colorado) were out playing one another this summer. Not going to get better just playing NE Twisters and 4Leaf Army.

Please. All of those teams were at NAL this summer. FCA, Sweetlax, Bethesda, BBL, Madlax, LI Express, Express North, Legacy, Hawks, Primetime, Tigers, Towerman. That's the entire top ten of 2026 minus the Colorado teams.

I saw Tommyknockers all over Instagram with their big win in Raleigh. LOLOLOL. Is there any reason they could not come up North and play real teams. All those highlights look awesome playing midwest schlubs. Why can't they play against real competition.

I believe the Hawks. Certainly not Laxachusetts
LI Express was in the B bracket at NLF and couldn’t beat FCA MD. How many holdbacks did LIE add for the Fall?
Hawks destroyed Sweetlax in the A bracket final. Laxachusetts was on the beach in Cape Cod.

If you're flying to the east coast, why go play Team 91 Carolina, Krakens, VLC, and Shamrocks when you had a Saturday and Sunday in PA & MD where you could have played some of the top 2026 teams?

Not sure which team you are from but Tommyknockers is a legit top 5 team. Don’t know how many hold backs they field but they pass extremely well and their D is strong. I would like to see them play Hawks, it would be a great game.

Then why go to that NC tournament? Sounds like they had a decent summer in 2019. I have never seen them play. Will they be in the WSYL? Or do they have too many older kids? At NLF club championships they beat Big 4 HHH (20-0, classy), team 91 LI, and 2 different Express north teams by 3 & 4 goals. Then lost to Laxachusetts in the finals. I would think that the top NY or MD team that regularly plays top competition would handle them.

What top teams have Tommy knockers beaten to back up your claim that they are a top 5 team? I know that US Club lacrosse has them and whoever the Kings are at 3 & 4 but I dont see how they are there when you look at the teams they play.

Tommycockers might be lightening force that brings long island together, team that beats them 15-0 is king of the island for a week.

Not sure which team you are from but Tommyknockers is a legit top 5 team. Don’t know how many hold backs they field but they pass extremely well and their D is strong. I would like to see them play Hawks, it would be a great game.[/quote]

What top teams have Tommy knockers beaten to back up your claim that they are a top 5 team? I know that US Club lacrosse has them and whoever the Kings are at 3 & 4 but I dont see how they are there when you look at the teams they play.[/quote]

Tommycockers might be lightening force that brings long island together, team that beats them 15-0 is king of the island for a week.[/quote]

Shoot, you can even get LI and MD dads to age that Tommyknockers are ranked way oo high

Any thoughts on the 25/26 camp this weekend in NJ? Is this basically a starter showcase?

I think it’s more of a clinic with great coaches and couple of games. Rosters just came out. Looks like some pretty good kids are participating.
Who is sponsoring the clinic? Is it too late to enroll?

Because a lot of these kids are from Long Island and have been playing travel lax since 2/3rd grade. Between camps, clinics and switching teams, kids get to know a lot of kids on other teams. Maybe you should let your kid hang with his friends in between games instead of yelling at him for the shot he missed

It’s over $400 for less than 4 hours of lax. That’s pretty expensive even with college assistants. Over $65k in the bank. Plus the cut they get from parents buying videos at 120 or more for 7/8 grade kiddos. And the guy behind it from S2S loaded up his sons team! Weak move, very weak!

I’ll skip this one. But they sold it out apparently.

The guy is right. It's a little weird or you're son is going and you want to make it sound worth the money you paid.

Yes my son is going. You can’t see the rosters unless you signed up. The rosters have the kids name and the club they play for. Someone asked about the event and if they could still sign up. I was simply giving that person information. If you think it’s too much money I respect that opinion. No need to bash people who want to go. I’m gonna make a day out of it with my son and check out Princeton campus. Happy thanksgiving
If you think the rosters aren’t circulating you are crazy!

It also comes with a sports psychology book for the boys! It should be for the parents. They need their heads examined if they go for this!

Adult men following 12 year old boys playing lacrosse, creepy isn't the word. I shake my head at some of these guys, a hot mom will walk right in front most of these dads', and the dads' neck will never turn, but they have laser focus on 12 year old boys!

Yup. Just a bunch of Long Island coaches with a college coach sprinkled in here or there. All the college coaches they advertised were not there. Overall I thought the event was overpriced. Best part is they make you give the jersey back after your done. Seems cheap and with covid just downright gross

Because you said the college coaches were sprinkled in!, suggesting there weren’t a lot of coaches. There were also many college players (including some great ones). Each team had a college assistant working as the HC.

It was very expensive
The pinnie return was a joke

But it was as advertised, you got what you paid for!

Agreed, completely as advertised. My son enjoyed himself.
Players series should Have needed invites or coach recommendations
Drop off of talent was significant
Appeared the 2026 was dominated by 2 players...not from the Island.

Not sure how you could possible say that unless you stayed for both sessions. Half the 2026 were in the morning. The other half were in the afternoon. I agree an application/invitation would be better. But they would have a hard time finding enough kids to shell out 400 bucks if it was invitation only.

We went to the morning session my kid played for Yale. Coaching was good and my kid liked it. Best kid on my son’s team was the Express kid. Best kid on SJU was the HHH kid. If your kid went you can see the rosters. Both of these kids play 2025 if you believe the info on the rosters. The game was not close - the SJU kid did a lot of damage. Nobody got a trophy or a pinny

Probably going to the B team. They dont have a goalie and have 9 kids on the roster
What ship are they going to jump to? Coach C has already grabbed the players he wanted and if you are jumping ship he didn't want you. Igloo and 91 are jokes at the AAA and all of the other clubs are glorified town teams with fancy uniforms.

Coach C will take any kid at any point if it makers his team better. Proven time and time again including with his 2026 team. He has kids from upstate and CT on his team that are within the distance limit that the WSYL requires.

I love how it’s Coach C. It’s the parents they do this. They put their kids on teams, they drive from hours away, they pay the money, they go to the trainings, and they all know the deal. But hey there is always hope.

Yup and that’s why he wins at this age group. He takes the best kids and plays the best kids. He doesn’t keep a kid (or play him more) cause he played lax with his dad in college. Go look at what daddy ball is doing to 91 at this age group.
Express is continuing to take in kids and build there team they are clearly the best in the area separating from the other top 3 teams. I would say Igloo is likely next. 91 has fallen a bit. After that it is a garbage shoot.

The manipulation to make it seem that the second express team is better then it is , is just that a manipulation. If they take the next 23 kids after their first group and dont mix,, the second express team can be decent, but is no better then anyone else outside the top 3.

Their second team is a very solid B team but they can’t compete with 91 & Igloo. They’re comparable to Legacy. Like you said, if they moved the kids after the 23 player roster from the top team to this team they would be very good.

Is it true that Igloo and Legacy are merging clubs? Is it just certain years or the two organizations completely?
I said garbage shoot,,, not garbage shoot, there are good teams and good kids, just not at the level of those top three teams.

If you took expresses top 10 kids from their AA team, and put them on any of the teams,, even many of the B teams, you would see they would become the best team in the age group.

Agree with you .....but why is it that there are 3-4 new players at every practice from what I hear . Even a few kids from upstate and connecticut according to this thread . I have seen teams be ruined as the coaches/directors get notIntelligent and keep taking kids in . Ruins the chemistry. Don't understand the thinking there . I saw the team in early fall and it was dominant . But apparently that wasn't enough , so there are more and more kids invited each week?

This is not true. Their B team is exactly that.....a B team. It routinely gets beaten by legacy, outlaws, shore to shore, and roar. The Express top team is by far the best. But lets stop acting the B team would only lose to 91 or igloo. They can't beat any decent teams. They also lose to other B teams.

You must be confusing their B team with their C team. The B has t played the Outlaws, S2S or Roar. I believe they lost to Legacy 8-4
That B team will be getting 5/7 kids from that A team ..probably the best team in the country..those kids will make that B team the second best team on Long Island ..superior coaches and no daddy ball ..better then igloo /and legacy ..much better then 91 ..pay for the coaching..not the name brand ..

You must be confusing their B team with their C team. The B has t played the Outlaws, S2S or Roar. I believe they lost to Legacy 8-4

Ok. So who has the B team played in the fall ? Who have they beaten.
Agree 100% ..Keith Wieczorek coaches that B team ..you pay for that . What other team has those credentials? St Anthony’s head coach ..Even A teams on Long Island can’t give you that..that Igloo B team loaded with great coaches also

Who has this team beat to be best in the country?
The beat 91,igloo, eclipse,sweetlax, 2way, tigers ...won every game in the fall and they played almost every weekend. Most games were blowouts . Go look at the rankings and they beat every top 5 team except for the Hawks because they didn't play them in the fall .
And they have beat every long island team by a wide margin .....so.much so that there is still a steady migration of players wanting to get a spot on the team . E rey week there are at least 2 new kids "getting a look" and hoping to be added .

I have no problems with the express B team. And Keith Wieczorek is a great coach. But some people on this board are saying they may qualify for World Series. That’s just nonsense. They are a B team. They went 0-3 at Tristar and lost to legacy. Legacy isn’t a great team (it was their only win). And like I said what other teams did they play and beat in the fall?

You didnt play TommyKnockers, Kings and lost to FCA and Sweetlax

https://www.USCL.com/2020-scores.html?TEAM_NAME=Annapolis+Hawks+%282026%29&TEAM_ID=BOYSAnnapolis+Hawks+%282026%29

Look at strength of schedule 6 for Hawks and 36 for Express - please
Lost to Sweetlax ? Won last 2 games against them , one wasn’t close , Tigers was a blowout, And this team is dramatically different from the one that lost to FCA ...and this team is ON AGE ..12 year olds ..

LOL
More kids ditched 91 for Express. They were at Express training last night.
91 is a disaster now .....they allowed their typical " daddy ball " ruin the team . Guy came in last season with his son and ruined the chemistry now that same kid/parent are leaving 91 for express after they ruined that 91 team . 91 got what they deserves unfortunately. Continue to let daddy ball rule the team and you will be sorry
Really dense on express part as well....team was dominant in the fall . Gaurantee this will ruin the team chemistry as now everyone comes in and tries to prove themselves and they will carry with them the 91 mentality " every man for himself ". Taking it themselves every time to score a goal and not playing team ball . This will blow up in everyone's faces on both sides .
I have older kids I have seen it all before . Parents of the top 10 kids need to grow a nut sack . Go to the coach and say " we were a strong team already, kids worked their butts off , we don't like all of these kids coming in and having our kids feel like every practice is a tryout , stop the BS or we will take all 10 kids to another team " and you will see how these coaches change their tune real quick . When these coaches will stop at nothing for the money grab , parents have to sack up and speak up

Wont happen - all parents will do is [ChillLaxin] on this forum and [ChillLaxin] on the sideline
You are contradicting yourself, if you brought your kids to another team, arent those parents on that team going to be pissed. I know your just making a point, I agree with your point. It shouldn’t happen.
Well is sounds like there are spots on 91 now.....

The point is " enough already". The coaches need to be told that the parents/kids won't stand for a free for all where there are 3-4 new kids at every practice. Make your roster and coach them , that's it. I see what you're saying about other parents being pissed on another team but the point really is that these coaches news to be told that this garbage won't stand . Let them feel threatened like your kid is feeling threatened every practice when it becomes a free for all tryout every week .

Agreed. I'm not on LI, but my son's friend was offered a spot on his team. He is really good, and would have been a starter but the kid/parents weren't ready to commit to the change and said "We'll see, maybe later". Coach said no, it's now or not at all this year. That's how it should be. Get good players and develop the team. Not constantly scour the waiver wire like it is fantasy football.
It's ridiculous. From what I heard they had a full tryout , he then made what looked like a roster of 27 kids . Then after dominating some fall ball there was a flurry of kids coming from everywhere.... connecticut, upstate, team 91. Give me a break . If the team is dominant why invite these players in . He's probably over 40 kids now and when it comes time to trim that roster down there will be many unhappy people . Parents need to speak up . Kids looked really good in the fall before these other so called studs started coming in now they have to go to every practice and fight for a spot ? Either speak up or go tell your son " hey son, it's every man for himself . Treat every practice like a tryout and screw everyone else , forget team chemistry just go out like a gladiator and fight and don't worry about anything else "
Wow , people coming from out of state too ? Never heard of a more ridiculous thing I'm my life . This is youth lacrosse and you drive from out of state especially on a weekday to get to a practice? I'm assuming this is all wsyl related. But a simple question to those parents from out of state . What do you do after this year ? Keep driving for another 5 years through high school ? If your kid is such a " stud" why not stay local and make a team better , studs make other players around them better they don't leave and drive 3 hours to go play on other teams . Insane
can someone explain when and how express improved so much? no offense meant, but the little i saw of them this summer was not impressive- well coached but didnt have the same level athletes of sweetlax and laxachusetts. is it an influx of new talent, or just great development? either way, good for them
From what you heard ? I would assume your a disgruntled parent of a kid barely holding onto his spot on that team ..you ever hear of competing, i think good coaches will get the right kids on the field . If Exspress is truly trying to be elite then my hats off to them ....This is not PAL..should Yale not recruit after winning a national championship 🤦‍♂️..Exspress beat some average teams this summer ..and lost to the few elite teams they played ..Laxachusetts and Sweetlax ..just for example..these clubs do it every year for this silly World Series..
Lol....driving from Connecticut? What a joke . For what ? There are plenty of good teams in CT and even westchester. So what do you do go brag to your friends that you drive 3 hours for a great youth lacrosse team . I bet they are laughing in your face too . So what's next you possibly go to wsyl with the team then what , woo hoo we won the wsyl now let me get go I need to drive back home , traffic is building up . People are insane
2026 A team has two goalies now. Last time they had a back up goalie it didn’t go well. Parents lost it in the middle of a tournament and dragged the poor kid off the team. Made a spectacle. Wasn’t coaches fault. As far as I heard.
Dont get me wrong, CoachC’s team plays like a well oiled machine but why leave a club that you have been playing for for 3,4 years to go play for him now??? Because you want your kid to play in the World Series??? It’s that important to the kid ir is it that important to you, the parents?? Not a great message to send to a kid at 12 years old. Hey Son, your team is having a tough time lately so lets jump ship!!!!!! Who is crazier? The family that jumps ship and joins CoachC’s money making 35 player roster or the family that stays with CoachC after years of being loyal to him and he is now pulling kids from all over the tri-state region?? How much playing time are these kids getting? Does he play the same kids? CoachC wants to win and I think the parents should be pissed if they have been with him the last few years!!!! My som plays and he is happy where he is even if his team is not going to compete on television for the Works Series. They are 12 years old!!!! As Joe Biden would say, “COME ON MAN”!!!!!
This Connecticut thing can’t be real ? With the amount of talent in Ct someone is actually driving 2 + hours for practice, For 12 year old lax and a World Series ? That’s now played in Md and nobody cares about ..that’s a bumper sticker family ..i have heard everything now ..insane !
Waste of time and $$$$. CoachC loves it, I’m sure!!!
CoachC goes ChaChing!!!!!!!!

Anyone know when the next Express workout is? Asking for a friend.
Lol. The Connecticut and upstate kids are real sadly . Isn't that something else ? Let the kid have a life rather than have him spend hours upon hours in a car for a youth travel lacrosse team especially when you drive right past about 5 other clubs right near you. Very weird . Cant make this stuff up .
I would assume that they are looking to fill those spots. Anyone know what positions are open?
Agree with all of the above ....real studs make their teams better they don't jump ship because another team beat them and they want a shot at the wsyl . What a joke . And to the poster here saying yale recruits blah blah blah, first of all your son isn't on yale he's 12. Second , there is something called a roster . You have recruitment , you have tryouts , you have a roster then you have a team that you're supposed to coach . Not have every practice be a tryout . There is something called team chemistry go look it up , team chemistry isn't formed with new players popping in every week . Get a clue
Did you just compare Yale lacrosse to 12 year olds????? Lmaooooo. Your the Problem!!! And your kid is probably a ball hog!!!!! Lol.

You must’ve done real good in school if you couldn’t pick up on the analogy he was making.
What spots ..try all spots ..are you serious that team is a disaster
Interesting......posters have been on here saying “91 stinks” and “what happened to 91” for weeks. But as soon as a player leaves, you come on here and bash him.

Truthfully, I see both sides. But bottom line is, the best players play. Competition spurs development and drive, and your kid has to earn it. A week ago people were saying CoachC already had everyone he wanted. If that is true, then why be so threatened by a new addition?
Sounds a thought your a little worried about your kid and your kids playing time ..sounds as though your protecting your kid .it’s understandable, that’s why they have B teams ..the team can improve and add better players but your worried about chemistry hmmmmmm ok lol..
Amen
Do not question my level of education my friend. I immediately “picked up” on his analogy and i think it is RIDICULOUS!!!!
CoachC? Is that you????

What's happen if you go through all this trouble and don't win WSYL. That would be embarrassing. Heck of a lot of trophy chasing for nothing. Pressure is gonna be high

Right , so now that your son is moving over to express " it's good competition_
.sorry sir but it's called daddy and little johnny want a trophy . They want to try take a picture with the world series medal around their neck so they can go blow up the picture and hang it over the mantle . Hey a life , driving 3 hours each way for youth lacrosse. Seriously ? And leaving a team mid way through the year because you got smoked by a team . Teach your kid to make his team better and step up rather than run away . Fools .

Don't even have a kid on the team so relax guy , you're wrong ..as I said before I have older kids and have seen how this plays out . Teach your kid to make commitments to a team and to stick with that team not run away when things get difficult . All for a trophy. You're a sick puppy and I feel bad for your kid , your really teaching him to be a whimp rather than to honor commitments .

I will choose to teach my son LOYALTY, PRIDE, COMMITMENT and HONOR every time. That is what youth sports used to be about! Unfortunately certain parents and certain coaches have lost their way!!! There are still great Coaches out there. Coaches that I consider role models!! I will stick with that team any day. Enjoy your trophy Dad and Junior!! I dont want to hang out under the tent with either one of you guys anyway!!! And most of the times Mom has a big mouth too. Grow up!!!
What are you talking about? What team ..my kid knows exactly what commitment is ..i could care less about World Series..it’s ridiculous waste of money , and run away when what gets difficult..are you one of those dads who are living through there 12 year old and never played sports , honor commitment?? I am so confused
Is it true that the father of one of the boys that moved to express was a 91 coach?? If true that must sting.
None of this matters because Hawks are still #1

100% true
Oh wow . I know exactly who you're talking about with the coach/kid from 91 going to express . It's a shame because express usually tries to stay away from the " toxic parent " yet here they go taking one in from 91. Good luck with that.

Seems as if Express will have plenty rooting against them in July.
I don’t care how good the lacrosse team is. Who in their right mind would want to have their child in an environment like this? Coaches, directors and now a lot of parents have lost their minds. Like robotic zombies. My son loves lax, that’s why he does it. I can’t wait for him to be done with club lax. These kids don’t see the back stabbing, low life garbage going on behind the scenes. Times have changed man. I played sports as a youth, HS and college. Thankfully my parents weren’t like this, this was unheard of.

A- Hawks will be at WSYL, you will still be complaining about tall holdbacks.
B- Read these forums. There are holdbacks all over LI.

Making decisions about your child can be agonizing. Many things must be considered: Winning a trophy is NOT one of them. You calling these parents “toxic” because you don’t agree with their decision is ridiculous. You should be ashamed.

It is more about promoting the brand than the kids. They aren't putting 2 teams in the WS to try and qualify both. They know that the B team wont go far. They are having the second team to have a place to send the regular Express kids that they have replaced with kids from Upstate, 91 and Connecticut. Will be interesting when a kid(s) that has been playing on the team for years gets bumped to the B team.

Know your facts fool. I called the parent toxic because that is the reputation that follows him not because of their decision . Your the one who should be ashamed that you can't read and follow what someone is saying .

Quick question. If so many 91 kids are jumping ship for express (including a coach) what’s going on at 91? 91 parents? Before all the defections 91 had a really good team. I find it hard to believe they are all jumping ship just for the sake of a World Series title (if they win)
Actually , express was not being rooted against. As a matter of fact many people on here were giving them their proper respect calling them dominant etc.....and they are . The conversation was about someone coming on here and saying " another 4 team 91 helmets at express practice last night ". Since the team became dominant and it was apparent in early fall kids have been coming in from every direction to join the team instead of staying with the team they actually tried out for and joined . People driving literally hours and from out of state just to be a part of the team that beat their team . Ridiculous

I know it's hard to believe but it's the gods honest truth . The wsyl is making people even crazier than they were before this year . It's 100% for the world series . Not only are there kids from 91 but from upstate and connecticut too . Why would someone drive 3 hours to practice ? All for the chance at a medal around their neck . Insanity . Just when you thought you heard it all come on here and you will be dumbfounded by what you hear people are doing .
Hawks will beat Express easy
Your roster spot is not safe with Express and that’s a fact . Plenty of nervous A team parents on this forum . All top B team kids should definitely jump ship before the spring season in my opinion. Express B = false hope and empty promises by the organization.
This Connecticut thing should not even be allowed ? How or why would someone not play for Prime Time , Eclipse , Express North , 2 way ??? Am i missing something
I really don’t think people / kids / parents care about the WSYL , it’s about development and coaching, playing more competitive lacrosse makes kids better, competitive practices, competitive tournaments week in and out , coaches that say and make the difficult decisions , 91 has done it to express in certain age groups..this is nothing new , It you sleep better at night with your buddy coaching your kid and he gets to start or play more or make the team that’s awesome..don’t blame a kid for pushing and wanting more ...my kid has been on same team for 4 years and i tell him every practice and game is a tryout ..just like life .nothing guaranteed

I agree with you to an extent ....but go tell the clubs not to charge money for tryouts and make a roster and that you'll come in the middle of the season then and save yourself $100 if you think every practive should be a tryout . Of course if a kid is being outplayed within his own team he shouldn't start and may not play , we all already know that . But to hold tryout for over 80 kids then make a AA roster to then have 3-4 kids pop up at every practice is ridiculous. No one you ask would agree thats normal . Make a roster and coach the team to get stronger . You can't have it both ways ....say a team is dominant then have new kids trickle in each week . If the team is dominant as they were in early fall then you don't need these new kids end of story
So don't have a tryout then . Let every practice be a free for all tryout .

Agreed ....no idea why anyone would do that especially with driving right past the teams you just mentioned. Get a life or better yet let your kid have a life rather than spending hours upon hours in a car when there are many options closer to you .

B team parent. No false hope here. My son and I are happy as are many of the other parents I speak to. Believe me, we know how good the A team is and are not promised that my son will be on the A team. My son goes out and plays hard and that's all he cares about.

Because Express routinely beats the teams you mentioned and they want to be apart of the best. It means that much to them. I don't fault them. If they want to make the drive so be it.
Dominant? This the same team that lost to Sweetlax and Laxachusetts and prime time ? Late summer / fall ..hmmmm ok
This is great! Express is blowing up on the inside. Coaches recruiting and bringing in new kids. Unhappy parents. Parents calling other parents and coaches out. Sounds like a great program for $4k

Get a clue ...that was summer l at the end of the summer there was something called tryouts .A few new players were the result of that thing called a tryout and there was also a coaching change . In what’s called a new season that began in the fall they blew out prime time , they blew out the tigers , and hey went 2-0 against sweetlax. Take your sun hat and flip flops off you’re not in summer anymore . Even the parents/kids of both sweeetlax and the tigers noticed the difference and how the team was playing .

Express ain’t blowing up. Great kids and families. We welcomed the 91 kids and families and they couldn’t have been more grateful. They know they could’ve easily been treated as outsiders.
Nice try 91 dad ...your 4 grand is better spent on getting embarrassed every weekend and kids and coaches running off a sinking ship !! That sounds like a blast lol..kids look like they are enjoying your investment..4 grand for Low level B team wow! Keep waiting it will get better hahahaha

unless your kid is in top 5 players in the country, your spot in Express lineup is never safe. The roster spot is fine, because they continue bringing up to 40 kids onto the team. But play time is a whole other discussion.
Let’s see how welcoming some of those parents will be, come tournament season, when these winter add ons replace kids there from start of the season.
B
Honestly 91 dad worry about your 2027 team being better then your 26 team ..you should be worried about tournament season..not Express..they don’t have a B bracket at NLF ..
I played competitive sports from 5 to 22 years old. I was a really good athlete and loved sports. I played 3 sports a year up to college. College 1 sport. In those 17 years, football, basketball, baseball. That comes out to around 50 seasons of sports. Never once did I leave a team in the middle of the year and go to another team. My parents never would have allowed that anyway. How do parents do this today like it’s normal? If your unhappy, season ends, leave. It’s called life. It’s called not being a quitter. It’s called not screwing the team you are part of. It’s called not screwing the kids on team your going to. This July tournament has turned people into crazy lunatics.

I agree with this. However it goes both ways. My only counter argument is your parents weren’t paying 4K for travel lax back then. These teams show no loyalty to any of these kids. You can be with these teams for years and then one day your gone.
It seems a little hypocritical to bash parents and kids when teams show zero loyalty to these kids.
Sounds like you should be having a conversation with your coach , if you haven’t already? Should be texting or calling your coach and directors with your strong opinions of quitters instead of spending your day on back of the cage complaining..you obviously haven’t been around club lacrosse for too long ..it’s just the beginning, voice your complaints to the new additions and families and your coach , maybe by sharing your thoughts on your life experiences in sports will help these families that screwed everyone ..IMHO ..

Congrats on your 50+ seasons. Tons of participation trophies. Rosters should be set in August / September. When clubs keep bringing and recruiting players throughout the season, it screws the kids who tried out and made the team. So, then a chain reaction of try-out players leaving.

In what’s called a new season that began in the fall they blew out prime time , they blew out the tigers , and hey went 2-0 against sweetlax. Take your sun hat and flip flops off you’re not in summer anymore . Even the parents/kids of both sweeetlax and the tigers noticed the difference and how the team was playing .

SL and Tigers will both crunch Express along with Hawks, BBL and Prime Time and Towermen. From what I can tell Sweet Lax lost by a goal in the last game and beat express all the times before, Hawks, Tigers, Prime Time and BBL have crushed express the last 3 years, FCA beat Express this summer and the Towermen are a head above all these teams mentioned.

Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Like I said go take the sunblock off it’s not summer anymore . Express did not lose a single game in the fall and most were by blowout . Beat sweetlax twice in the fall for 2-0 record . Beat the tigers 10-1, that’s not a typo. Destroyed BBL and prime time . You seem to be stuck in the summer . Wait until the scores are posted in the fall rankings and perhaps then you will understand, or .....maybe not since you’re having a very hard time understanding that we’re not in summer anymore

Whats funny is all the people complaining about CoachC bringing in all the "new" kids after your dominant fall. If Express was so dominant what's the need to bring in more kids? Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm?
Common with these questions. Why you ask? Ok, simple ground ball answer. Reason 1, they want to be more dominant. Reason 2, this is the more important one, it’s more money. More kids equal more money to the business. It’s incredible people still can’t grasp this. For example, if you owned a car dealership and it sold 400 cars a month, but you could sell 410 per month. What would your choice be? Do you say I’m rich enough I’m good with 400? Probably not. It’s business. Club lax is business.
WSYL + Long Island Lax = Pure entertainment. You better win it all Express or you look like huge chumps
91 Coach’s kid will never see the time he saw at 91. Daddy never took him out. Express has better attack men already in lineup. Just a matter of time before toxic Dad realizes he can’t tell CoachC who he has to play. Bad Move all the way around. IMHO
Any truth to the matter that the 91 “toxic” coach created the whole mess and stir up over there and then just jumped off his own sinking ship? Great job!! Be careful what you bring in Express. Team players win championships. Not individuals.
That is correct. 91 will be better off with out him. Hope he doesn’t have negative effect on Expess. Team is great. Never hear of a coaching complaint from Express parents. Seem very happy.

Keep drinking it while clueless CoachC steals. Guy can’t coach so he steals kids been going on for decades Once talent is close express falls off. See 2020 22,22,23,24 Your boy will be replaced soon
I don’t think he’s stealing players. I think the parents are running to him.

If the dominant kids are all on his team, then he doesn't have to worry about playing against them and losing. Its smart on his point.

He’s not stealing anyone. They are choosing to leave on their own accord. I like how you left out 25 and 26. The crush team was great but is now in college. Time to move on. The big draw for all those teams was having JS as a coach. He’s one of the best coaches on Long Island. Once his kids age out the only team you will have is 2027.

Look at the older grades express is not in the top two on Long Island in any of the HS grades. How the mighty have fallen Coach C realizes that. Isn’t just 91 towering over them but igloo and S2S as well I have an older nephew and we were discussing this when he played it was basically just express and 91 was just starting

It's quite simple really and this ultimately gets settled on the field. You can complain about holdbacks, but that is not the teams and/or coaches fault, and are simply playing within the rules of youth lacrosse. The holdback issue is irrelevant at the WS which one of the reasons why it's so compelling. Express is likely the best team at the moment since they did beat Sweetlax twice this fall with a retooled roster and hard to know how good TommyKnockers actually is because they play less competitive clubs. Hawks still #1 until someone beats them. Sweetlax very talented and can play with any of these teams and is clearly a top 3 club. Again, forums are good for keyboard warriors, but this will ultimately be settled on the field.
This whole flip/ flop team to team thing could work out better for other teams. Seems TB picked up a few players which should help them. Some of the 91 players not seeing time due to Daddy Daddy ball will probably play more with toxic one’s exit. The kids love to play the Parents screw it up.
Hope so for kids and competition. Express really doesn’t need to add any players. Dominant team. Well coached.
By the time summer is here,Express teams will be 1-2 on the Island. Roster cut will send a bunch to B team along with newest additions. No doubt. A team is best on age anywhere. Tough to beat. Anything can happen, that’s why they play the games... not just compare rosters!

As the announcer used to say on the price is right " comeeee onnnn downnnn". Another 2 players defecting from 91 to express. Defender and attack . And the roster keeps growing . Have to be at 40 now lol

Fake news......how can a team ( sweetlax) be ranked above a team (express) when express went 2-0 against them in the fall. Perhaps whoever issues these rankings should get some facts first ?
The funny thing is, the other 38 parents are saying to themselves, common already. Their kids who been there are getting further down the depth chart. It creates a very bad situation. Awful. Nobody will say this to the head guy, we know that. But it is on everybody’s mind. I know people who are part of that, so glad to not be in that environment.

Another attack on top of the one previously mentioned? (one total or two)
Epic battle brewing ....I heard Spallina is livid to hear of all of the defections . Let them battle it out

Godfather of daddy ball vs godfather of pay to play (CoachC ). I guess everyone pays enough money for these travel clubs we should be able to get a ringside seat for the battle of the egos .

None of the Spallina's have a kid in this age group and neither do I but came for the fun did hear BSpa and Mchan are after each other tho . Kid who left 91 w daddy was on 25 team and was mediocre. Dad coached son at O HS until he was let go

Right...so let's forget about the fall after summer tryouts and a new team is put on the field . Why play the games then ? And there was no championship because of covid rules but the one tournament where there was a championship express beat sweetlax and went to the final and one it fall NAL tournament in jersey

Kid is a true 26 and was overmatched at 2025 and moved down to get a legit run. But that wasn’t good enough. Mom is the push behind all of this. Dad was only coaching to protect the playing time at 91. What happens now when Chan only plays his best and the newbie sits anyway? What a mess, but it’s true if you don’t have a Spallina as the HC you are getting the shaft.
My guess is strength of schedule came into play and Sweetlax has played the more difficult slate, but the point is valid that they did beat Sweetlax the last 2 times in the fall. Saw them play each other recently and they are the 2 best teams at the moment. These rankings mean very little in the long run and it'll be interesting going forward to seeing how these top 10 teams fair in the spring/summer.

This ranking in garbage. Sweet Lax lost to Express 2 times this fall, Eclipse has not played a tournament since 2019 how are they included in this conversation, Hawks did not play any of the top teams in the fall and lost to those weirdos tigers in the summer so they are maybe top 5, towerman ah yeah nothing more to say, PT lost to everyone on this list but beat Towermen and BBL, 2 way huh? 91 is better than them, MadLax and BBL are good. Rank is Express, Hawks, Sweet Lax, Tigers, LXC, PT, BBL, Mad Lax, Looneys, Team 91.

Spallina shouldny have let the dad come into a team that was already good and have him take a starting spot , classic daddy ball. Now got but we by that same daddy ball as they move on to another team . According to a 91 parent 3 of the top kids now on express . Spallina blowing a fuse lol...calling CoachC and saying " what are you taking my players it's hurting my ego".....channys response " because they love me and want to play for me and it's inflating my ego " hahaha

LOL ML dad, go back to the MD board!
Us taking extra players isn’t the problem the problem will be when express has to hand in WSYL roster and be down to 24 Or when it’s cancelled and this was all a waste lmaooooo

Thanks Express dad.
Neither one is bumping anyone on A team. Attack man will never see as much time as he did with Daddy coaching. That’s the guy who screwed up the whole thing at 91. Daddy never took him off the field. Now the kid is going to see what a sideline looks like.

Cancelled would make the whole situation comical. 2 tuitions out of pocket for no WSYL. What do you do next year when they have it for 2025, 2026, and 2027? Go back to your normal team or stick with Express? That gives Express another year to recruit another kid to take your kids spot. And another year to petition for roster expansion to 35.
How many 91 players have left? Sounds like Express got 3 Did any go anywhere else? Might be a lot of room on that 91 team now.

Or plenty of playing time!
And one more that’s very close to leaving....stay tuned
I’ll guess it’s the lsm. I don’t think it’s an attack man as one coach son and the others will get more game time due to recent departures. It’s all getting beyond silly. Gotta be something driving mass exits. Can’t just be hope of WSYL that would be ridiculous.
Let’s be honest we know who it is , the question is will his dad be coaching on the staff or just enjoying the games ..can’t blame the dad , kid is a stud , needs players around him ..why be last standing

You talking about the coach from St John’s ?
Is Express doing a WSYL team for MD?
There is no way in the current times that all these families are jumping ship from 91 to join a team (with 45 players which must be trimmed down to 24), pay double tuition for the possibly at a shot to go to the WSYL. There's no guarantee there will even be a WSYL. Something more is going going on with 91.

Someone keeps hinting at it on the boards, but there isn't anything on line about it. Can't imagine it draws enough interest to be a success down here.

All they have to do it cut it right down the middle and enter 2 teams.
Agree , that age group specifically, but what about the kid driving 4 hrs to practice from Ct ? No good coaches in Ct , lol, or the best chance to win WSYL is at Express Long Express ..not the kids fault, parents cause the drama ..91 organization is fine , That 27 machine team is ridiculous, better then 2026 ..

How many times is he actually doing that though? There is no minimum requirement for practices. Just 1 tournament and the qualifier makes you a "regular member" of the team.

I heard there is new kid being grown in a pod in Coach C's basement that is like Michael Jordan/Mike Tyson/Lebron/Gretzky/Tom Brady combined who will join the team in March, can't wait to see this kid play.
No idea about the number of practices that kid goes to but what would prevent 91 Md and 91 tristate and 91 LI to merge for World Series...rules on the distance? Kid is coming from another state !!! Lol..we are loosing the reason we play these tournaments..it’s about building relationships, families and kids , going to BBQs together, the beach ..riding bikes etc ..not driving to a couple of practices and winning a t shirt ? Express Long Island ..that used to mean something..Long Island Lax ..how about have one on age team from LI , do tryouts..etc ..it would prevent all this nonsense.between clubs .IMHO

This happens all the time. 91 does it too These kids don’t drive 4 hours for practice 2x a week. They show up on game days and make an occasional appearance on practice. 91 has kids on their Long Island team from North Carolina

I agree. I think most people doo. It is club directors cashing in, and parents and kids hoping for the opportunity to play in the WSYL. They can show off all of the gear they get and say that they played 4 minutes during mop up duty vs the Seattle team that qualified.

Good point though. If you based the team out of Central Jersey, you could get 91 MD and 91 LI within the 100 mile radius. Shoot, Philadelphia too.
I stand by that comment, and your number 25 kid express dad is nothing more then getting a T shirt and riding the coattails of some stronger players.

The rest are the same as everyone else.
When this World Series thing started several years ago, it sounded great. It was cool in the beginning. Unfortunately look what it’s become. A train wreck. Not watching final game on July 4th on ESPN2. That looks neat. Quint the announcer, nice college field, great time. The train wreck part is what people do to try to get there. Insanity. Kids playing on 1 team in the fall, another team in the winter, a 3rd team in the spring. Hopefully 1 out of those 3 make it to finals. Kids bouncing mid season. Teams aren’t even teams. Kids with same jersey doesn’t make a team. Coaches are now leaving teams they coached for half the year to get their kids on those teams. Parents are driving from other states to hopefully get kids on one of those teams. Who does this? If I told my family my son is playing 7th grade basketball on a Philadelphia team, they would think I lost my mind. Coaches poaching other kids, screwing their own roster, without a care in the world. All the politics with the coaches and their kids. Parents cursing each other. Parents who were friends no longer friends because of club lax. This is what the WSYL has done to so many people on so many teams. My son loves it, that’s why I pay for this. Most kids don’t see the behind the scene stuff. I can’t wait for this to be over in a few years.

It'll be around next year too. Do you think that after having the WSYL for 7th and 8th this year that they will not come back and do 7th and 8th grade again?? $mart money says YE$$$$$. The theme will either be repeat, or search every inch of that 100 mile radius to avenge the loss.
Ya know what, I am going to take my kid to Express practice this week. And after it, CoachC will call me personally and blow smoke up my butt and tell me how “Bad he wants my kid to play on his team”!! ( because that’s what he does every time ). I am then going to screw all of the Coaches, all of the families that I have become friends with and go to Express. I will start to now pay my second $3,500 tuition for my 12 year old. But hey, Express has great uniforms and bumper stickers!! Screw everyone else. My kid is on Express now. Cant wait to help Coach C set up his tent and bring him water at half time. Wake up people. You all sound pathetic!!!!
Don’t be a hater , because coach C doesn’t want your kid lol..let’s be serious..if he did you would leave and go in a second..the only kids/coaches/ families being screwed are the parents and kids that paid 4 grand to play on a competitive AA team at 91 .and got a overpriced PAL team ..wake up people ask for a refund immediately..don’t pay 4 grand to watch daddy ball , watching that team get worse not better has to raise eyebrows..HE DOESNT WANT little johnie ..but he is safe at 91 ..

How cute. You quoted, and replied to your own post.
Reading people saying wake up well wake up is right express ship sailed long ago..Not. even top 3 in a few age groups. Express 2019, 20, 21,22,23, 24 all Maybe MC will put a team together for ws. He can't coach heck of a thief which is why he needs so much talent to win 40 players one team and stunads pay it. To be clear son plays on a non 91express club but this is club101
I don’t have a kid in this age group. Just wanted to let you know you are all losers. Doesn’t matter if your kid is on 91 or Express...the one constant is the lost parents. Happy holidays!!
Twisted parents for sure. Like rock star groupies. The only difference here the rock star is the club lax coach.

You are on this board posting. You are a lost just like the rest of us !
Question from a outsider...... why is coach C loved by so many? Why is coach C hated by just as many?
The top sales man of the year award definitely goes to coach C! $4,000 x at least 75 2026 boys . How many A team kids will become B team kids soon enough. The sad part is he will only help about five kids get recruited down the road . Keep drinking the Kool Aid parents!

No. The B team kids will still be on the A team so the parents can tell their friends that their kid plays Express AA. And they will talk about how they travel to Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts etc. to play lax every weekend. Their kid will never play a meaningful minute of lacrosse until junior year of HS. Then Coach C will tell the parents that he is splitting the team up into 2 recruiting teams. The top 7-8 kids will get recruited to D1.some D 2. And the rest will go D 3 with no athletic scholarship money. But the parents will brag that their kid plays college lacrosse
But the 7-8 D 1 kids are all not on the team yet. Each year he will add kids that he feels can go D1. Some of the really good ones will even get discounts to play for express so he can plaster their names and the commitments on his web site. While the other 28-35 kids make coach c $$$$$$. I don’t blame Coach C. He is making a killing. Supply and demand. There is a demand to play for express. Can’t fault him for making Money.
He is pretty honest in telling parents that their kid will not play. But parents think that if they practice they will get better. I’m not knocking them. To each their own, I just think it’s crazy. I feel there are better ways to go if your kid is going to play D3.

Once you pay that 4k you have no choice but to love it..even if your kid hates it. Sad

You know nothing, no one has paid 4k and not one kid hates being on the team. Anyone can leave in good standing at any time, I know many that have. Some tough decisions will be made in the coming months, but the 25 that make the final roster will have earned it and should be proud of it. If you want to know how good your son is at lacrosse bring them to the tryout with the rest of us next summer. If you don't want to know, then keep speculating and reading misinformed comments on this board. Unless you have first hand knowledge, you don't have the right to be here spreading bs. The intent of this site is for us to share information, not discuss children and how far their parents drive to practice or why they made the decision to leave their team.
The 25 who make final roster earned it. Is that what you said. Answer this please. If 7 kids are added before tournament time and they take the place of 7 kids there from beginning of season, those 7 add ons earned it? Is that what your saying? Those original 7 families who get screwed because of these add ons, they deserve to get bounced off? You said something about sharing information. Please share this answer.

It's not 7 kids it's more like 3 and yes they earned it by being good enough players to be on the team, contacting the coach and getting a look. Express top team will upgrade any position at any time to improve that's just the way it is. In this instance they have until Feb since there is a roster deadline. Everyone should know where their kids stands on the team based on playing time and discussions with the coach if needed. Call him right now he will answer. Yes some won't go to the 3 tournaments that actually limit roster size and check age. And yes I'll be upset if my kid gets bumped but club lacrosse is ruthless especially at this level and we knew this going in. The man isn't perfect but he doesn't hide, doesn't play favorites, and will answer any question asked so I do respect him.

Checkmate
Things in life could be ruthless. 12 year old boys playing lax. I don’t put that in the ruthless category. Your brain washed man.

Easier to replace than coach up and improve the bottom of the roster

Tell BS to take his best 2027 machine players and have them play on 2026 I'm sure there are a few holdbacks anyway.....word of caution though , express 2026 embarrassed both teams 91 2026 and 91 2027 machine (when they decided to play up against a true 2026 A team)
Not sure the reinforcements would change the result .
Agreed , I would add pathetic to the sad description. Driving hours for practices and games because your kid is a " stud " haha. Unreal. And to the parents who think everyone is a "hater" get a grip . Hope little johhnt gets the trophy your chasing . What ever happened to commitment and standing together as a team througj the ups and downs . Do you have a safe space in your house too just in case johnny doesn't like something he can go there ?
I agree it’s no longer coaching. The term is poaching. Lol. I’ll go with the guy who coaches his butt off for the year. The guy who coaches his actual team. The kids get better. Sink or swim with your guys. That’s the coach I played for. That’s a coach I want for my boys. Not some behind the scene coaching staff, poaching All Stars from other teams, other states, in the middle of the year. That World Series trophy means zero winning it like that.

There really isn’t much of a debate 91 has much better teams And individual players top to bottom Chan is not a dense man and realizes he’s on the ropes Truth is many of his older teams used to be better but as kids get older and coaching becomes More important the express regress- Coach C good recruiter awful coach this is all factual which many on here aren’t used to
It doesn’t like anyone on 91 feels the same. People started leaving team last year because coaches were just leaving their own kids on the field. You can’t be a team that way. Team is all players not just Coach’s or trainer’s kids. Nobody can win tournaments with 10 kids. The boys know it’s notIntelligent. That’s why some left last year didn’t come back. Some 2026 kids with friends on team don’t even want to play there. Wouldn’t even bother with tryouts. Loyalty to a team begins with Coach’s obligation to teach the whole team. If you take on a player you have to coach him. Not just your son. Field time is part of that. Leaving your own kid on the field to pump up his 12 year old stats while team is floundering for a win is ridiculous. Parents are taking kids to other teams because of this behavior. Not all are at Express.

And that is why you should be coaching the B team.
Fall from grace is just a #. Rest is all EXPRESS.
Nothing to do with a B team. It’s called coaching your team. The team is selected over the summer. Several tryouts. All phone calls being made during tryouts. That’s it. This is your team. Go to World Series with them. Coach these kids with maximum effort. Then after you win, you deserve all the credit. That’s a great coach. Not some guy whispering, sneaking around trying to poach kids. If you can’t win the right way, go down swinging. End of discussion.

detest to burst your bubble but all of the 91 kids that are leaving have called express on their own not the other way around .I know that hurts the egos over at 91 but those are the facts . And if the coaches at 91 are so great then why has the 2026 team not gotten any better ? In fact they got worse ....oh right ....daddy ball ruined it . Typical 91 garbage .

No poaching ....parents made the decision on their own and made calls to have their son go to express . Sure , it's for the wrong reason as they are all chasing the world series medal but the fact is there was no poaching . Go ask the parents that left 91 if there was any poaching , in fact one of the parents was told by a 91 director "I am tired if this poaching" and the parents response was " no poaching I made the call myself to do what I think is best for my son." That might hurt some egos over at 91 especially BS but it is what it is

Exactly. A few kids left 91 top team for true blue as well. The coaches did this to themselves. Instead of bashing express maybe you should be looking at the coaches of the team. And stop using the excuse of the World series. 91 has had several top teams in other age groups. You didn’t see a mass exodus of kids leave express (or any other organization) to go play for Wolfpack in the middle of season. If a lot of kids leave a top team in the middle of a season it’s not other organizations fault (that they went to). Nobody poached anyone. Parents were unhappy and looked to go elsewhere.

2025 express
2026 express
2027 91
There really isn’t much of a debate 91 has much better teams And individual players top to bottom Chan is not a dense man and realizes he’s on the ropes Truth is many of his older teams used to be better but as kids get older and coaching becomes More important the express regress- Coach C good recruiter awful coach this is all factual which many on here aren’t used to

Who cares. This is 2026 thread. Nobody crowned express the king of the island. In 2026 ONLY they are miles ahead of 91. What I will say is that all those 91 teams you listed have JS or BS as a coach. Without either one of those guys coaching their teams are ok. Once his kids age out JS will be gone
Kids know just as well as parents, if you’re playing hard and are good enough you see play time at Express. I know my son loves playing for Express. Coaches recognize effort and skill. Do a great job developing players to their game.
You cannot say the same with 91 as exodus shows.
No whispering Coach at Express. All whispers were on 91 sideline. So ends your “discussion “
BTW your sideline is still whispering. Afraid to speak up.
The best move for a team falling apart due to Coaches decisions to play their kids above all others is replace The coach. Make a new head coach that’s not a parent. It’s club lacrosse not PAL No need for volunteers. 4-5 Dad’s doesn’t work. Boys remaining on team deserve as much, after all the BS. Stop blaming other clubs. Clean your own house.
Exactly , I agree with you . 91 needs to look in the mirror and figure out what the problem is . BS is too arrogant to stop and think thataybe there is a problem with the coaches etc....he always says " let them leave , where are they going to go " then they leave and he jumps on the phone and says " how could you do this to us". Plain and simple , look in the mirror and talk to your parents and stop the daddy ball . There are other options and kids/parents are choosing those other options .

Yup. Only way to salvage that team is to clean house and start with new coaches. The team right now is a toxic dumpster fire. No way any great talent is coming to that team regardless of its name. Daddy ball took over and ruined it
So why no bashing true blue for taking players. LOL
That says something. TB. S show.
S.J. Coach is a good coach. Not sure if he is still there. Good guy. Knows game. IMO Maybe he could turn it around?
Team 91 needs new Head Coach , watch how fast kids come , nobody wants daddy ball ..every other successful team mentioned earlier had a “ non daddy leader “ makes decisions that are best for the team , not to keep there kid and his friends..new coaches / new identity = success!
The 91 2026 team seemed to be competitive over the years until the wheels fell off this year and daddy ball really took off. Only thing is that the daddy coach that created this big mess and spiral left to go to Express and left his mess behind so he can chase a trophy. I guess that is his life lesson to these young kids. When things get bad just leave. Great job coach. IGM. (I Got Mine).
In all fairness, it sounds like the toxic coaches have left.
Who is the coach now? Can he change the outlook of kids/parents on team? Maybe get some more players?
I know one of those guys is a real good coach.
It may all change. It’s lacrosse, gotta play it out.

Well said ......from what I heard one of the kids at risk is one of the kids driving hours to get to long island . Aint that some s*it? Driving a long way to be on the team , all happy you made the team after tryouts and then playing time gets cut as another player comes in from 91 . Now will be driving hours to watch from the sideline .
Put yourself in a ridiculous situation. Playing in another state, notIntelligent things may happen. It’s lacrosse not the holy grail. My kid loves to play. Without football and basketball he’s really into it this year. Still I wouldn’t travel to play with bbl or pt if they were the best around. Just out of range. Have to have healthy limits. Life is too short to waste driving hours out of town for practice. So you get what you get. Lil Johnny is a stud. We’re going to football practice in Texas.

They haven’t won a real competitive game in literally years. Competitive as in NLF or good LI team. They really go to tournament fa and go 0-3. Check tourney machine. They went wrong a few years ago when the coaches tried to keep the players on their team from their hometowns. Wantagh and Massapequa. How’d that turnout??
You know it’s parents on here. They have no real team. Let your kid read posts, he’ll know what an a ss you are. Nobody cares who you are. Or what team you think you represent. If you ever bother to speak to your kids about lacrosse you’ll find out all boys across all teams are friends. This doesn’t matter nearly as much to them as it does to you. Your athletic days if any at all, had no travel or competition like these kids deal with at all. Big deal to you. To them it’s I play lacrosse. Goes with rest of days.... school, bike riding,football,basketball,summer camp etc. No big deal Daddy stud so don’t be so insecure who’s posting and thinking it refers to you. You don’t play. You pay.
My name is Big Daddy Stud. Team 92 Super Elite AAA.
You know me Johnny Stud’s Dad. Wheels! Wheels!
Kids catch up and pass the players that were great in 3rd 4th 5th grade. Some were maybe slow starters. PAL and Daddy coaches didn’t really give them a fair chance. Had to play their sons and friends kids. Some boys now putting in effort showing athletic ability,speed,strength wanting to play without Dad begging them to go to practice. Look around. That is your 91 now. They were good. Boys who have been playing. Like the competition see through the BS are playing elsewhere. Hang on the 4 kids from Wantagh you got left. 3 Massapequa keep telling yourself how elite you are. You are helping legacy and igloo get the athletes next year. Just watch. Without a change in culture from 91 other teams are going to be substantially better next season. It will be for the better for the boys. Competition is healthy. Being the best because your dad and Coach are pals or you’re the only one allowed on field is done. Look back. Enjoy. It’s over. They are going to earn their spots. At one point there were 6-7 Bellmore/Wantagh 7-8 Massapequa playing all on 91. Where are they playing now? 3 years together done all at once? Daddy coaching isn’t conducive with club lax.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. The team was good in the early years but the coaches refused to bring in any new kids. They refused to bring in attackman, middies, defensemen and a 2nd goalie. Kids were pretty much guaranteed spots before tryouts. Competition always makes kids better but most of those kids never had to compete at all for their spots. All because of daddy ball and the massapequa/wantagh connection. As a result people left and new kids stopped coming to tryouts. Word got out that no matter how great you did at tryouts you weren’t going to get offered a spot. Even in like 4th grade. At the new player evaluation last summer that had no new kids come. Even in a World Series year they had pretty much no one come. If that’s not a telling sign, I don’t know what is.
Very true....it had happened in all years at 91 ...the daddy ball/massapequa ball influence . Once you start that you have to live and die with that and unfortunately for 91 they are dying with that . I think you’ll begin to see more people leaving as they get older and wise to that garbage. 2025 and 2026 are already a mess , spallinas 2027 team is the best in the grade however more than a few kids left that team willingly as well as they see the favoritism play out , next year probably even more will leave . LOOK IN THE MIRROR and don’t be so arrogant as people get tired of this garbage that they see over there at 91
Something has to change immediately at that 2026 coaching staff at 91 .Bring in one non daddy head coach and they will be 100 kids at tryouts next year ..leave it the same and they will be playing in B brackets all year ..don’t blame the kids and parents for expecting more ..take some responsibility for this nightmare, take the money and ignore the problems .but maybe 91 wanted this the whole time , now Machine can play in every 2026 bracket and say how much better they are then there older team ..it’s not about the organization it’s about certain teams .sad ! ! The 2027 team brags about how much better they are ..who coaches 27 team ?? lol..yep ..how does that make the 2026 kids feel ..

Ok enough already. If you want change then go to the directors
Complaining on here is not going to help. If the directors don’t want to change. Then leave. Find a place where your happy.
Agreed....but even the 2027 team already had a few players leave in the fall willingly because of the daddy ball/massapequa ball. They also tried to play up against the legit A teams like express and igloo and got beat badly . So not sure that is a good strategy for them if that’s what they’re looking to do. So ....let the 2026 team fall apart so the 2027 team can play up and get embarrassed by other Long Island teams ? Not a good strategy and not good for the brand . What also kills these teams is they have them play in weak “ my lacrosse tournaments “ that they own which gives them a false sense of confidence then when they go to the big legit tournaments they get spanked. As the teams get older parents start to catch onto that as well and say “ wow, we’re really not as good as 91 advertises us” . It takes a while but eventually the parents and kids finally see it and leave .

2022 express stink. Point is you jerks think WS matters do you can see your scrub on TV That fades and when it’s time to be recruited your kids a no one
The players that left 91 for EXP are not going to make a big difference on new team. The middie that first flipped teams pretty solid. The rest not big impact. Better players already on team. 91 swag only gets you so far Lol. Seems like jumped ship before 91 payments to get a prorated price at express.
It sure got quiet on this thread. Lol.
Merry Christmas all. Have a great season. Enjoy time with your sons. Watching them develop and grow into teenage athletes.
No matter where they play all good.

What do you want to hear again ? The kids that left 91 should have stayed with their team not leave for a " better opportunity " aka play with a team that spanked you for a chance at the wsyl? The parents/kids that left 91 and the parents/kids that drive from out of state /update are pathetic . That should be all folks lol

Did Santa bring you anger management classes for Christmas?
Seems like the only one angry is jump ship parents. Like the ss hit stirrer coach that screwed up 91 left for express with his prodigy son that should never leave the field. Lol Might get more time with PT. Maybe next move!!

If you think fall lax matters you are in for a surprise. Most of the teams Express beat did not have there kids there as they were at other sports and some teams treat fall ball the way it should be, try new things and do not play for the score. Summer scores are all that matters. Enjoy #1 before you are back at #15 again

That’s right our kids are athletes. Our athlete days are over. So what! Stop with the BS like your some stud dad.
Watch the kids play. Drive him to practice. Yell wheels!

Not an igloo parent, and agree 100% ..definitely second best on Long Island, and i would put legacy third ...then S2S or Express B ..Igloo beats 91 by 5/7 goals ..joke
Stop with Express B.
They are #24

So many silly statements here. When’s the last time igloo beat 91? 91 has owned them. Now that 91 is falling apart, yes igloo is probably a little better. Legacy third? They couldn’t beat your kids 5th grade PAL team. Shore to shore, roar and outlaws could probably beat legacy and 91 right now
S2S /outlaws / Rebels ..we don’t pay 4 grand for a bumper sticker ..try less then half ..and we will beat this 91 team all spring and summer ..🤦‍♂️

What about True Blue? They must be improving, didn’t they just get a bunch of 91 players from exodus? Might make a difference.

You people are really out of your mind. Its Express then 91, then you can argue whoever you want as third. But they are so far off. Express's B team will beat any of these teams with maybe the exception of S2S. True Blue is a joke and added kids that weren't getting any playing time. I guess we will see this summer.

Any feedback from the 2 day camp going on at SBU?
Parents weren’t allowed in. Feedback from my son. How was it? Good. Was it fun? Yes. How were the coaches? Good. He then asked me what am I having for lunch?
Igloo has not to any Long Island team, other than Express, in years. Anyone who knows this grade knows that igloo is second best. Please stop.
Express B lost almost every game this Fall! So keep dreaming.

Express B picking up 5/7 of the A kids , mark my words , those kids would start at igloo or 91 .....Express B will go further in WS qualifier then igloo , 91 , legacy etc...how are these directors going to hide these teams this spring? Play in B brackets??
Express A is the best team on Long Island and Igloo is a distant second best. It’s not even debatable. Third best is probably a crapshoot between S2S, 91 (probably not now) and Legacy. Express B is not a good team. They are well coached but don’t have the players and probably won’t until they trim the A team roster after kids record no playing time and go play with the B team.

Funny you say that. Because looking at the big picture, it doesn't matter who wins or loses; club owners market their clubs this way. I bet your kid can care less.

So true. My kid plays for Express, loves playing/ practicing with team. All good players that work hard and are having fun. Coaches are doing a great job. Boys are learning and having fun. That’s what it’s all about. AA -A- B - DD team doesn’t matter to kids. Enjoying playing does. Parents care. Rating helps justify parents insanity.
My kid loves to play lacrosse. He’s happy. He is 12. That’s what it’s all about.
Happy New Year!
My son also plays on Express. I echo the above post. Usually, during practices, it gives me time sitting in my car planning out my week, catching up on emails, phone calls, etc. Most importantly, the planning is centered around how my business will be more successful. My son does enjoy playing but has many other interests occupying his free time, which I'm in favor of. For sure, ratings, team classification is geared to attract, along with pacifying parents' ego. Ask me why I have my kid with Express; well, I have three boys, two in college, and both played with Express. So I'm familiar and comfortable with the organization. Other than that, youth lax isn't an asset; it's an expense. That's how I look at it. Happy New Year!

The issue is when you play express you have no idea which team you are playing. The sidelines are packed with kids and sometimes multiple kids are wearing the same #. I guess if CoachC is coaching, the top kids are present.

The issue is when you play express you have no idea which team you are playing. The sidelines are packed with kids and sometimes multiple kids are wearing the same #. I guess if CoachC is coaching, the top kids are present.

“The issue “? Play the team in front of you. No issue. Play the game. (Kids play) lol
You obviously never played for Express , you know exactly who is playing, and exactly who is not ! And certainly know at the 2026 age group you are practicing and playing with the best talent on Long Island..if it strikes a nerve that the B team is competitive with the top programs on Long Island A teams don’t sweat it , i guarantee they will hide your team all spring and summer in the “ My Lacrosse tournaments” and maybe the 27 machine team can compete in the NLF for that 91 debacle, they don’t mind doing that ..you will still get the bumper sticker for 4 grand 😂
91 easily beat the Express B team. And if your kid plays for Express, aren’t you also paying close to $4k?

My son does enjoy playing but has many other interests occupying his free time, which I'm in favor of. For sure, ratings, team classification is geared to attract, along with pacifying parents' ego. Ask me why I have my kid with Express; well, I have three boys, two in college, and both played with Express. So I'm familiar and comfortable with the organization. Other than that, youth lax isn't an asset; it's an expense. That's how I look at it. Happy New Year!

It is probably no different at the Hawks, Sweet Lax, Tigers, Prime Time, BBL or even a good 91 team right? If it is are they doing it better?

Its $4,000 maybe more all said and done .
Is all the talk of players and coaches leaving 91 true?
If so, they must be looking for players. Would that be something that would be posted somewhere?
Sometimes you see teams advertise private evaluations on here.

Of course they will take you. They will take anyones money. If you live in Wantagh or Massapequa you'll be in the starting lineup.

91
91 has a Back up Goalie now ? I am guessing that kid they got from Legacy will be the go to goalie this spring ..the kid that’s been protected by his dad for 5 seasons will be backup ! He gave up 32 goals in a Express scrimmage this summer ..seriously...

It wasn't 32 and in fairness they played for 5 maybe even 6 full quarters. It was at least 2 tournament games in one.
Maybe they should put a quality defense in front of him so he doesn't get peppered all game.

Looks like a parent that monitors depth charts and keeps stats on 12 year old players.
Maybe one of the Daddy coaches that recently left 91.
Seems a bit bitter, so I’d say that’s probable. Lol
No need to monitor depth charts , it’s been the same at 91 for 5 years 🤔..Express took the only talent that team had ..they don’t want your kid ..who sounds bitter ?

You sound bitter.
My kids are on Express. Go keep stats on a 12 year old goalie.
[quote=Anonymous]Maybe they should put a quality defense in front of him so he doesn't get peppered all game.[/quote.
So true. No defense. Could really use some help there. Need faster stronger poles.
D middies too.
Familiar sound to what i heard at many tournaments last couple of years , Goalie calling out his own defense ..beginning of the end 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ TEAM TEAM ..teach that
Can't blame the goalie for 32 goals. Defense has to take some accountability. FOGO needs to win more and wings need to pick up more GBs .Attack needs to ride and mids need to get in and play some defense.
We should actually get a new coach. Daddy ball is getting old..

When a team wins it’s because “ we’re a great team!”
When they lose it’s “ goalie is no good “ or “attack man is a ball hog” or “middies just shoot from anywhere “
Laxx like that. Never lose as a team. Blame game BS.

Amen. Well said. Maybe then there will be a few less alacarte expenses for rest of team.
Better effort will come from boys if they know it makes a difference in game time, positions etc.
Yes you’re right. Defense starts up top.
How about this ..you pay a lot of money ..you deserve answers stop complaining on this site parents..tell your coaches,tell your directors. Oh they know 🤔 , Oh they don’t care 🤦‍♂️ Don’t you have your answers ..WAKE UP ..omg ..Daddy coaches don’t work
Is this the same team that has had one goalie for years ?

I’m sure it is. My kid played against that goalie for years. When they were little guys that kid was the best. No doubt. The best.
Same as any other position, more kids are playing, some are passing kids that were studs in elementary school athletically and in skills.
When kids who have been playing “out” in other positions switch to goal, lookout they’re the ones to watch.
But honestly when they were little guys that kid was THE best.
I don’t know about the parents politics stuff just know kid played well for years. Stole a lot of points.
Still a great goalie

Very well thank you.
For the Jewish players; WSYL teams qualifiers on March 27th and 28th it is the first day of Passover. Families will be forced to decide between observing their faith and youth sports. Such a shame for kids who have worked all year for the opportunity to play. I believe players have to have played the qualifier to play the next rounds. The founder of the event himself is Jewish. Please no ignorant or derogatory comments. We already have enough division in this country.

I’m not a religious person so I’ve never even considered this. You make a good point. I think that this could be an issue for a lot more. Try contacting them. Maybe they can come up with a solution. Good luck.
Great point. Unfortunate timing. I hope WSYL will move the date.
Anyone know if Laxachusetts is putting a team in the WSYL?

Not a chance. Sadly WSYL and program directors don't care about potentially a few players from each team. Especially since they inflated each roster this year.

Weird. They have fallen off big time I guess or have a lot of holdbacks. They used to try and claim that they were the #1 team.
Laxachusetts was good when they had there 13 year old playing against 10 year olds ..

holdbacks pretty common up there?
Laxachusetts would win the whole tournament but they do not want to bring their younger team in to participate. Their 2027 team is tired of beating up on the 2026 teams

Please...then you've never seen them play...they are easily top 5 with their older kids, top 10 without. Tell your coach to schedule a game with them.

That is awesome . They are Top 5 [2026 Team] with their [2025] older kids Let that sink in and then try to say the club system isn't completely broken.
Please stop with the holdback/older kid comments. You are just making excuses because your teams are mediocre at best.

Correct, no one has seen them play in the last year and a half.
Or it could mean people have lives and aren’t on this site as often as you.
laxachusetts doesnt have holdbacks at 2026 level- yet. they will becoming over the next couple of years if the older classes are an indication. some of those kids who won the NLF will possibly end up as 2027s. bizarre, as it gives the kids a big edge thru 9th grade and then it goes away...

You sure? Pretty sure they had a bunch of losses this summer right? My kids CT team beat them or maybe it was a covid dream?
Spallina or CoachC? no holdbacks but "reclass" - who's better
No CT team beat the Laxachusetts squad last year.

On age. LOL. People were complaining about holdbacks before Covid ever existed. You haven’t seen anything yet. There are going to be holdbacks on top of holdbacks. Kids will be graduating high schools at 20, 21 years old. Unless club teams come out with an on age rule( which we all Know they are not), going forward this is going to be a mess.

Sadly, I think this poster is correct. Navigating this post-Covid environment (when we get there) is going to be challenging for athletes who want to continue to play in their true grade.

If you are public you can’t just snap your fingers and your kid is held back. There are significant hoops to qualify for a repeat year. Taxpayers don’t want to pay twice. If you are in private school unlikely you are going to be held back (parent should get their money back if that was the case) The only viable scenario is a kid going from public to private ( will be a very small number that do that). Bottom line not much movement but less smart kids.

Correct. Critics can point their guns elsewhere when the Hawks bring their team to the WSYL, while other teams combine and/or have open tryouts and create new teams (and some are STILL having tryouts).

Hawks are only competitive when they have their holdbacks suited up. You must have added players from somewhere? You aren’t showing up to WSYL with 15 kids.
Coach C will have holdbacks at every level. Express will be the top team at the WSYL simply because he has mastered the shut up plan. 2024 kids are playing on the 25 team, and 2025 kids are playing on the 2026 team. You heard it here first...........Express teams will win. The best players on the team that you think are grade level will be 1 or 2 grade levels above. Coach C is a mastermind and its done. Covid will be the excuse but he will have HS level players smashing your on age kid. 2024 vs 2026............ Coach C has the cards pulled.
You lose............

Every kid on 26 is age appropriate for the WS, born 9/1/7 or later. What is stated above is complete BS, except that they might win. No guarantees but if they play well they'll have a real shot at it.

Don’t think that it is the legacy goalie, but heard there has been a goalie and few other players at their workouts from other top club team in the area. Guess trying to fill the roster after loosing half the team to express. Wonder how the WSL roster are going to look since they are due in a few days.

I wouldn’t want to be a 2nd goalie on that team anyway. The goalies dad has somehow become a “coach” even though he’s never played a day of lacrosse in his life. Good luck trying to get a fair shake with playing time.

You heard it here first...........Express teams will win. The best players on the team that you think are grade level will be 1 or 2 grade levels above. Coach C is a mastermind and its done. Covid will be the excuse but he will have HS level players smashing your on age kid. 2024 vs 2026............ Coach C has the cards pulled.
You lose............

Fake news. You just can't take the fact that he coaches superior teams.

Hawks will win as usual. Hawks are 4-0 vs. LIE, Hawks 2-1 vs Tigers (dont even try to say that scrimmage in OT should make it 2-2), Tigers 4-1 vs LIE. If you want a real match invite Mad Lax and SweetLax!

The past is bupkis, only one team is going to win
Not an Express parent. But they’re the best. They will win the WSYL. They are infinitely better than they are in the summer.
Sounds like one to me ! Better hope coach C keeps your son on the A team. Or maybe you can keep club hopping.

Ok express coach. As you can see above LIE has lost 8\1 vs hawks and tigers combined. You can bring the older kids for other baloney tournaments but not the World Series. Prime Time will beat you in qualifiers
Looks like we will know soon enough. I am betting on Express.

LOL, anytime a parent says "I'm not a Hawks/Express/Madlax/etc, etc, etc dad" we are all assuming you are, so save your key strokes.

If that's true, good for whatever that team is. Some teams are still holding open tryouts.

Because he is now scared and wondering just how unprepared his son's team will be.

calling bs because it's hard to believe that any team is practicing 3x per week as a full group right now. maybe 91 since they have an indoor facility but I even doubt that very much. I, just like you I assume, don't play on a team, the team my kid is on is practicing twice per week.
Don’t ask if you don’t want the answer. 3x a week.

If this is true please name the team. My son has friends on several different teams and they are all either once or twice per week.

Comical. What exactly do you love? PAL mentality, equal playing time and B Team quality? Or losing 0-3 in tourneys?

Exactly. Plenty of 91 parents have been on here complaining about daddy ball for years. The reason why no one talks about them anymore is because they are irrelevant at this age group
Prime time will not beat Express. Played them twice... not even close.
Express is a much better coached team.
True is going 3x per week because we train more.

My sons team is only does skill work every now and again, but no weekly team practices.
I do hear that most of the other club teams do practice atleast 1x a week and have been for a few months

Must be 91 goalies dad, seems like his response!
How often is Express practicing? Outdoors at all?

Better get tuned up. Rumor is WSYL no exceptions for the bloated rosters. 25 players only, includes 2 goalies. Here come the cuts and demands for refunds!

so once per week? When does CoachC break the news to parents and kids on A & B teams? I bet that tension makes for an awkward practice.

Is your team not going into the WSL qualifiers? How are you not having team practices if you are? Even if your not entering why wouldn’t you be having team practice and expect to complete in other torture tournaments? What club is this.

We were going 1x outdoor and 2x inside. Since Christmas we have just been going 1x indoor each week with optional skill clinic now and again. I guess issue is trying to find space indoor at a good time/day.
Anyone know of any good clinics for offensive players or any pickup games going on for this age group?

My point is when we tried out nobody said we wouldn't have a spot for all the team tournaments. Our roster is currently at 30 with a few who float in and out. How are other clubs handling rosters over 25 players? Are some kids told they have to stay home?

that's a great point, some kids may be asked to play for second team for just those two tournaments but that's a guess. ask the coach where your son stands.

Arent they entering 2 WSYL teams? That gives them the evaluation time and roster flexibility to change things up until whenever rosters are due. Keep 46 plus 4 goalies.

Interesting, hadn't thought about it that way. The club does have an A and B team but kids never move between squads.

That's what the parents were told from the beginning. Currently, from my best estimate there are 58-60 players between the 2 teams. I'm not entirely sure how many additional kids were brought on in the fall/winter. The 58-60 includes 5 or 6 goalies. That's not even including the kids who wouldn't be on either one of those teams, which is probably another 8-10. Now how they go about making those cuts and moves will be interesting to say the least.
Does anyone know the deadline for WSYL? Curious when they list the pool of teams for each region.

Sounds like a money grab knowing there are only 4 qualifying spots from each region

It is getting old to be honest, no team attitude, miss the old coach, any suggestions and good for ebyond middle school? my oldest kid and was supposed to start and his pals and he were all excited, now every practice like 10 new faces, one of the other dads who went threw this before told me it gets worse, for games before older kids show up so we win and it gets more good kids, are you kidding me or what. Not sure anymore if kid even makes, appreciate advice from parents who done this in past. how is 91 or another spot?
no way that last comment is an express parent, go back to the MD forum troll. 26 express has never brought older kids. call the coach if you have any question where your son stands on the team now or moving forward. they played a ton in fall so most should have a good idea already.

Sounds more like a HS showcase than a team
I am sure 91 would look at kids at this point, there numbers are low, call and find out

No dog in this fight, but sentence structure would strongly suggest Northport, although you can't rule out Suffolk County either.

Kids are going to be left out. That's a given. Hopefully it's not my kid or your kid but be prepared. That's life! CoachC will continue to make this roster better until 3/26. Doesn't matter if the kid is from 91 or Buffalo. The better kid is going to play. I'm tired of hearing that they are 12 and team chemistry blah blah blah. Jameis Winston was pretty good but the GOAT was better. Enough said. This team is built to win. We all know it and that's why kids keeping showing up. If you don't like it too bad. It's a business not a daycare and feelings don't matter. Get better or get out.
I have to agree with the above poster. If a kid is going to play at Express, he has to be a contributor and he has to continue to improve from a skill perspective and a lax IQ perspective. It will continue to be very competitive. No one is safe, even the current top guys. While some people may not like this, Coach C is 100% upfront about his plans. Everyone knew what they signed up for. What this means is that you have choices. Since your son’s place on the team is not a mystery, you have to decide what is best for him.

If your son consistently feels uneasy or frustrated, it may be a sign that it is time to consider another opportunity. Best of luck to you and your son. These decisions are not always easy.
Jamie’s Winston is making 20 something million a year. Not 7th grade kids, whose parents shell out money for this. The above guy just don’t get it. My definition of a team are kids who play together the entire season. Best kids play the most, absolutely. The way some others, like the guy above, their definition of a team is scrape together 14 kids, strangers, out of state, wherever, right up until tournament deadline. Give them jerseys and helmets for the qualifier. This is what’s wrong with club sports today. Some people don’t even see this. Winning like this is worse than losing.
Could not agree more , i believe in challenging my kid , show him what the best is , if you make it on Express you know you deserve it , no favorites , no daddy ball , kissing butt doesn’t help , Coach C tells you where you stand , your role ..no mystery, leave or stay it’s a great group of kids and parents ready to test themselves at the highest level...being number 1 in anything isn’t easy ..HARD WORK ..won’t go negative but hiding and being content with average is not a successful formula in sports or the real world ..
When you say he is up front, that’s great. If he actually tells parents, “congratulations your son made the team however, I add kids throughout the year. You may see several different kids here in the next 6 months. Me doing this can decrease your sons playing time and keep him off WSYL roster.” If he tells parents this. 2 things. A) parents can’t complain. B) I’ll bow to this coach and say he is the most honest guy in the planet.

WSYL wants the highest quality players possible, nobody wants to watch Rec teams compete. And once you get clubs involved they have a reputation to gain. Every clubs wants to be able to claim WSYL champion. Great marketing to pull future revenue. So with reputation and money on the line you create an arms race to build the best team. WSYL can’t have both organic teams and high quality watchable lacrosse.
Being number 1 isn’t easy I agree. But your contradicting yourself. The team should work its butt off to be number 1. Train harder, practice harder, doing that and being number 1 is great. Couldn’t agree more. Adding 2 players from Jersey, adding 2 players from upstate, adding 2 players from PA, this is taking the easy way out. That’s my point. Doing this and being number 1 is the opposite of working hard.
Above has to be 91 parent justifying he waste of time and money 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Can’t protect little John forever..make sure your bumper sticker is in the bad when you wasted that 4 grand

Honest question.....did you ask at the beginning of the season if making the team equates to a spot on the WS team? Or did you just assume? I am guessing the latter.

Also, isn’t Coach C entering two teams? If yes, won’t your kid likely be on one of those two teams? Are you just upset that he may be placed on the second team? Again.....sounds like a lot of assumptions on the part of parents may be leading to disappointment.

I am going to guess that your son is one of the boys who may not make the roster. If that is the case, I can understand your sentiments. Def not fun.

But you need to see it through the eyes of the better players, too. Their parents are also paying. The recent additions are not here just for the qualifier. They are not here for the WS. They are here to play on the best team with the best competition long past the WS. Respectfully, what you are describing is a PAL team. You can get that at many other clubs. You will not get that with this coach. This is what top talent is looking for.

A top team will always attract the best talent. If you can’t take the heat, it may be time to get out of the kitchen. Or least not be resentful about it.
Why so much talk of Express? Early zero talk of any other team. If you’re an Express parent you know that Coach C is up front and tells you exactly what he believes and answers any question that you ask him honesty (sometimes brutally honest). They practice more than once a week and offer additional training outside regular practice a few times a week. The kids work hard.
If you’re not an Express parent you bash the team, the coach, the way they do things. That’s called jealously. That’s not having a clue about the team.
There’s a reason these kids and parents want to play for Express. They’re the best. Perhaps you’re son is on the wrong team if you need to just bash Express on a website instead of emailing or calling the directors of your sons team and say hey we have to work harder. Sorry about were your son is at and less about teams you and your son are not involved with.
Forget express talk. I’m not talking about any team. I’m generally speaking. Let’s call the team Joeys lacrosse team ok. If Joeys lacrosse team had 85 kids at tryouts, 27 or so of those kids make the team. Some of those 27 might not play much in tight games. Some of those 27 may rarely come off the field. That’s top club lacrosse. Parents have to understand this. This isn’t PAL. If this team practices hard, if this team is coached well and Joeys lacrosse team wins the WSYL, congrats to the kids, congrats to the coaches, congrats to the parents. On the flip side of the coin. Now if Joeys lacrosse team grabs a couple kids a few months later, Joeys team grabs 4 more kids from Pennsylvania. Now the holidays pass, let’s grab 2 more kids from CT. Now the qualifier is coming let’s grab another all star from Delaware. Now I hear some stud up in the Rochester area wants on Joeys team, let’s grab him before the deadline too. Our 27 kids are now 37 kids. Joeys lacrosse team added 10 studs, now they are all stars at every position. A mixture of 5 teams playing on Joeys lacrosse team. I’m sorry if Joeys lacrosse team wins the WSYL doing this, it’s tainted. It’s not the same. If the national league all star team all wore Mets jerseys, the group with the Mets jerseys would win the World Series.

Nothing wrong with this but sure does not seem like a team environment. Happy where my kid is as he is getting better and still plays against the best and they win a lot.

Once again, you're an outsider looking in. They are are team and they all interact as a team. For someone to say "does not seem like a team environment", you're wrong. You're an outsider. I am happy that you are happy where your kid is at and is getting better. That's what this is all about.

Been part of many teams ..this 2026 Express team is the definition of “ team “ everyone has a role and nobody is irreplaceable, no showboating, everyone feels involved, kids are hungry and good to each other on and off the field. Parents root for each other’s kids and everyone gets along ...I know you can’t believe that’s true ..but it’s possible to be really good and be great teammates ..i know you think it’s not possible..having fun and winning. Loosing and getting embarrassed is not fun

Theirs also a big difference when kids try-out for a team at tryouts and make it and kids being poached from another program half way through the season.

Poached? Or Leaving for a better team that makes them better? Cute that you still think children are “poached” and that the kid and parents are t leaving for something better.

when the coach or assistant coach walks up to you after a tourney and says if your son is interested in playing with them, give him a call, he will work something out for you and gives you his info, then yes it is called poaching.
I wouldn’t let my son leave a team until the season was over. My sons team win/ loss record, isn’t as important than teaching him integrity. You don’t leave your guys. You don’t abandon your team. If your not happy, season ends, by all means go elsewhere. That’s how I was raised.That’s how my kids will be raised.

It's their choice. Greener pastures... You seem angry with how 91 is performing. Why is it that an actual COACH of the team walked away and went to Express. Tells you something about that team.

Agreed.
or it tells you something about the coach.....
I am not sure why tolerating mediocrity became a virtue.
Integrity and commitment works both ways , players and coaches and the program directors as well as commitment from parents etc ..when a coach or coaches don’t show the same commitment by his own actions or lack of actions then it’s on the parents to make smart decisions for the future of there kid ..we all know the definition of insanity..and yes years and years of the same mistakes and lack of commitment makes you the fool for selling commitment to your kid ..so when you use words like integrity make sure to look at the man in the glass ! Son the ship is sinking captain has abandoned ship but let’s stay committed 🤦‍♂️.and FYI ..the coach you reference leaving was the only one trying to fix the ship ...players and parents knew it ..we were devastated when he left ..and waiting still for a replacement..let’s just drown son 🙄..it’s on the way
We remember how “ Wolfpack “ got there best 3 players ? Short term memory
WSYL has criteria..one thing is home address being within 100 mile radius of a clubs main address.That being said I doubt you will see any players from Rochester on the Express roster.

Hobsons choice!

There is value in team chemistry. Kids cobbled together from various teams may not have enough time to gel. So if your team has good chemistry that might be better than an all star roster.
Believe me all of the Express talent is from Long Island ...no parents are happy about the Ct situation..Express Long Island should be from the island !

24 holdback? The crazy thing is with this world now going forward, almost everyone is going to be a holdback in the future. So kids will soon be playing kids all the same age. If everybody is a holdback, that means they are all equal playing age. People complain holdbacks have an unfair advantage. This is true. Now soon holdbacks will be playing with and against other holdbacks, so the future complaints will be double holdbacks. Lol.

1. Do we all think this will actually go off without a hitch by the end of March? Teams scrambling now just to get space indoor once or 2x a week. Doesn't translate well to outdoor competition. Teams will not be sharp.
2. How many teams from outside our region will be willing to travel. Texas stopped a few years ago, I am sure the West coast teams will think twice, Maryland doesn't really play because of age. Why is this made up event so important? Stay local, play the best teams right here at home and enjoy the summer, finally.

Not an ounce of truth to that top statement. Great player and great kid, he fits right in with this group.

This year WSYL is in Maryland, so yes it is local. Teams will be fine, most kids will be ready.
Name the top 10 2026 Lax Clubs on the Island ? Yes Express A is #1 and No Express B doesn’t make the top 10. Thanks

It’s funny noweadays most clubs cost between $3500 to $4k. It’s ridiculous how much some of these clubs will charge. Just a few years ago these same clubs were half the cost.

We have 27ish on our squad. It will be interesting to see how and when they Pick the final roster.

It’s funny noweadays most clubs cost between $3500 to $4k. It’s ridiculous how much some of these clubs will charge. Just a few years ago these same clubs were half the cost.

We have 27ish on our squad. It will be interesting to see how and when they Pick the final roster.

Final rosters have been submitted
Easy top 10

They were due February 1st

1. Do we all think this will actually go off without a hitch by the end of March? Teams scrambling now just to get space indoor once or 2x a week. Doesn't translate well to outdoor competition. Teams will not be sharp.
2. How many teams from outside our region will be willing to travel. Texas stopped a few years ago, I am sure the West coast teams will think twice, Maryland doesn't really play because of age. Why is this made up event so important? Stay local, play the best teams right here at home and enjoy the summer, finally.

This snow will make things interesting. I assume the maryland teams will be there since it is in maryland and all. They are probably practicing outside a few times a week already.
we all need to do the right thing and support the 91 dads. they are going through a scary pandemic and need help. give them hugs and let them know they can get a tshirt from amazon or a 91 tournament. hopefully they are ok from covid. 2 pandemics at a time has to be tough. just remind them not to play machine because we dont need them hijacking another blog. snooze you lose big dogs.
No just sick about hearing about 91 Dads and how Express is stealing players. There’s more to Li Lax then the two Orange teams !

Final rosters HAVE NOT been submitted. FACT; WSYL has allowed all teams to list all eligible names (yes above 25+). They don't have to finalize players until right before the event. In case of covid, injury or cut,s the clubs have wiggle room and will not have to play short. Of course there are pros and cons to this decision.

The south region will surprise!!!! Lots of practice down here.

So contribute something different to the conversation, Bro.
More appropriate term for what 91 did is “ gave away players “ supposed to be premier club on Long Island and it was run like a PAL team ..nobody stole anything..more kids went to True Blue then Express lol..people ran away from Daddy ball ..

There has been a decent amount of talk about specific kids on this thread. It is a sure sign of jealousy. You are making a great team with great kids and families look bad. Please stop.

Not jealousy. Doesn’t have any effect on me or my kids. Just stating the truth. Funny how it’s ok to talk about Daddy coaches and the flight from 91 all ok there. Please don’t speak about what parents are saying on sidelines. No no no.
Stop. No one said anything derogatory about any kid.
Sorry Momma.
Just my opinion, but you don’t see the issue with a kid coming 3 hours away for an occasional practice, not interacting in any off the field get hang outs ,team unity stuff , just a tournament player ? And it’s not a little awkward for parents and kids ..ok ..then you were never involved in any team sports sorry ..sure it’s a great kid and family..just makes no sense 🙄

Your priviidge is showing & this coming from a team leader & we all know my son is one of the best on the team. But if anyone speaks out, we kow what will happen. Miss the old coach!
Let’s face it. Tryouts came and all teams said previous season players were guaranteed their dot on team. Igloo, 91, it discouraged people from attending tryouts. Legacy turned away players too. Express took all who attended free tryouts.
Teams should not complain about not being competitive when you don’t open up your rosters to a true tryout. Now there’s about 3 teams worth of players that will probably stay with Express through HS. It’s a great organization. Boys love to play and practice and really enjoy themselves.
Turning people away without even seeing kids play ruined competitiveness of other teams. To be competitive you must have a competitive tryout. Take the best players you can get. Coach them all, play your best players.
Even TB picked up players that should say something.
IMHO Strange Season 2021.

Whatever, 6 hour car rides are temporary, lax glory is forever. smile In 20 years when everyone is looking back at the U13 2021 WSYL and that decides the future outcome of our country, it will all be worth it! smile

By retaining all their current players the clubs could justify not giving refunds. I agree there was no real movement with the exception of a few clubs adding to their rosters. Those clubs wanted an exemption to carry additional players on their roster for WSYL, they were denied. This is and was all done to generate additional $$ for the clubs. Now those same clubs have to trim the rosters come qualifier time. Clubs will enter both their A and B teams and drop kids to from A to B so everyone plays the clubs can claim they did the right thing. The B teams have no business playing in qualifiers is just a tactic by the clubs to appease the parents. Slimy move, but than again is anyone surprised.

He's at every single practice. Lives within the area required by WSYL and he's been on the team for over a year.

Well if there is a Connecticut kid playing for Express, then I could see a 3 hr drive in that traffic.

I'm sure he is. The WSYL 100 mile "as the crow flies" rule should be reduced in my opinion.
Who can confirm that their teams will be in the qualifier besides Express?
I can confirm Wantagh PAL otherwise known as 91 orange 🍊 will be attending..

Express North? The good and bad? Can they beat Long Island Express?
Who’s Express North?
My son plays on a Maryland team that has beaten North every time we have played them over the past 4 years. Similarly most MD teams I have seen play North beat them up pretty good. If Express is indeed #1 how would North be able to compete against them? If Express is, as many suspect, mostly hype then who knows.
Doesn’t Express North have two teams?

You're pretty confident after beating Express North by only one goal twice in the fall. Your #1 ranking means nothing, We all know it's temporary.

And beat BBL
Express North is a great example of why people shouldn't get caught up in the rankings. They lost twice to LI Express by one goal, lost to a 2025 CT Wolves team, and lost to Sweetlax. They won 12 games, including wins over two 2025 teams, BBL, Tigers, and Leading Edge. Yet they are ranked behind those three teams sitting at #21 when the scores suggest the should at least be in the top 10, if not the top 4 or 5. I'm not an Express North parent. Just a guy encouraging people to ignore the rankings and let the teams and results speak for themselves.

The boys are going to have some fun this spring and summer.

If North is so good, why would Connecticut player parents drive to Long Island instead of having son play with North?
Must be the competition, I would think. Just sayn. Lol

Yikes, how many are making that trek? Are the programs not affiliated? Stealing talent from another one of your programs seems a bit much.
Definitely don’t go by the rankings ! My sons team beat a good percentage of the teams ranked in the top 50 of the rankings and aren’t even ranked .

Nothing like 4 hr round trip in that traffic for youth lacrosse
Igloo is not ranked in the top 100
Once the Tigers big attackman handled who else do they have to illicit the ranking?

Funny as Express won Oktoberfest Tiges won nal and what did Express North win? fall play days are like weekends when you play with plato in your basement hammerhead
North has too many older kids to qualify for the WSYL. That’s why the kid moved to LI team.

Thought only Marland teams had older kids
Actually the logical thing to do is if your kid is that good would be to play him up. Challenge him! Reclass him for what? So he can be a "stud" on a younger team. Pretty funny how express north wants to be recognized with a bunch of holdbacks. say what you want about the WSYL, but at least its an even playing field. Everyone is on age..

I don't know about 2 year but I know of more than 1 older kid on North.
If not a parent, you must be the coach.... if not the coach, then the team statistician! Take your holdbacks and tear it up this summer my man!

Very sad. I didn't think they did the hold back thing with all the crying and whining about it. I guess we all sell out eventually.

Am i reading this correctly? Parents are actually encouraging kids to leave there current teams/teammates and potentially drive hours to find a more competitive/ better 12 year old team to play on , but claimed there kid is “ very good “ ? Then make your Ct team better..so you need to drive to be on a better team but your kid is not good enough to play in his own State and make them complete 🤔lol..🤦‍♂️..makes no sense .could be the craziest thing i ever heard of

Usually the response when the poster is right and there is not way to refute what he is saying so you take a movie quote to make you feel better about a child being used by his parents and club directors for the sake of what.....WSYL trophy. Cool beans.

So who’s going to cry more when their team doesn’t win the WSYL the parents or poor kids?

Players definitely care more about school teams more than club. My sons definitely did and do now. Nobody paying for their position or playing time. All earned by ability and effort.

It won’t be 91 crying they will have trophy in hand as usual!

Do you have enough kids to play? Seems like everyone left team? Do they take players from their Freeze team? I haven’t heard of anyone running to get their kid a spot on team due to vacancies or on opportunity to win WSYL.
Not that it matters but since the question was asked, the best town team I have seen for the 2026 class is Sachem. Pretty deep team

It is a very well known fact that MD teams/parents hold back their child for sports/college purposes. This is nothing new and has been going on for many years. You will never see a non NY team win this event. Prove me wrong.

I wasn't even referring to the Hawks, just maryland in general. The more your read in different forums on here, there's holdbacks all over long island, NJ, upstate and CT..
Wrong. LI teams don’t use hold backs. LI Express CoachC will win WSYL in 7th grade/13U division. Tigers, Towermen, and Sweetlax will round out the final four. Maryland is a no show without holdback.
Cuse could have used him today.

I don't know who is going to win since I haven't seen the new Express play with their additions that they plucked from other teams from the greater NY area, but I can confirm that the Hawks will indeed be there.

So which WSYL teams from North region will advance to Championship weekend? I believe only 4 teams are allowed to advance from the Qualifier.

Guess their is a correlation huh?

Given no rules against it, power to you for giving your kid a competitive advantage.

Just don’t brag about your kid/team or complain for getting called out.

As for the HS excuse. HS is different story, it’s HS not grade based, how our kids compete today. In this case, you’re simply trying again to justify that your kid is a holdback.

For the qualifiers? I'm sure it's coming soon. Rosters have been finalized.

My guess for some of the NY teams:
Express
Igloo
Legacy
Rebels
Primetime
True blue
91
Sweetlax
Turtles
Outlaws
Roar
Play Day was moved to Delaware

How many teams are at the qualifier? NJ, Conn, Mass will send some too.
The Hawks first need to get through the East qualifier.

It depends on how many teams sign up for the other regions. Each regions will have similar percentage of teams advancing. So if east region has 25 teams signed up they will have more teams advancing

How are the schedules set for qualifier? Do they try and rank in advance, or is pool play random?
Why the surprise about Rebels ?
No laxachusetts?
A MD team will win this year.
Save your money.
No need to comment.

No idea, just wondering. USCL has a ranking system, didn't know if the WS did too.

I don't believe it has as much to do with holdbacks as it does with what age they are in 7th grade. Because the kids are several months older in 7th grade they wouldn't qualify for the WS even though they actually graduate in 2026. As far as how many "holdbacks" they have that would be on 2025 in other states I don't know that answer.

Have a 2023 oldest son. Holdbackachusetts has never entered because usually 75% of their players aren't on age. That program started doing that about 5 years ago to compete with LI. A decent amount of their players in that system actually are on-age for school but play down for lacrosse because they intend to do a PG year or repeat when they get to HS. So they have players right now in classes set to graduate in 2025 but play 2026 lax. It's normal for them and not looked down on. Well, by them.

Stop living in the past.

Express has won both games against Sweetlax the past 2 times but they were both extremely close and could have easily swung the other way. Both very good teams. I don't know how the brackets work but if they don't have to face each other prior to the finals then that's who I see being in it.

You are correct. 7 teams qualified in 2019. And if I recall correctly there were 6 teams from the North in 2018 that qualified.

Do all the Sweetlax players from the summer meet the age requirement? That is a legitimate question. I am just wondering if the same team will be at WS. LI Express kids are all on age I believe.

Should be a good match up if the same teams show up from Fall.
express north too many holdbacks --they cant compete--

i couldnt imagine telling my son hey your not big enough, fast enough, or good enough to compete with kids your own age so your staying back- doesnt matter what kind of student you are, youre just not good enough. You're staying back and playing with the little kids. But dont worry they wont make fun of you (to your face) because your bigger than they are.

LI Express has so many kids on age that they’re sending 2 teams. Fact. Every single kid on their 2026 teams are on age.

pounding his chest for the summer.. they cant field a team for WSYL. too many older kids. I guess they'll be able to brag when they beat the WSYL winner this summer with their 14 yr olds.

Yes they have won games.
Why does it bother you or anyone else that they send 2 teams. Last I checked, no one was fundraising for the poor kids on Express to attend the WSYL qualifiers. Is it because you're afraid they'll have an advantage? If not, then you and others like you, seem to care an awful lot about "b" kids, that have no impact on your elite lacrosse kid.

I'm sure the long time Express kids that were bumped to the B team will enjoy losing at the qualifiers and watching their buddys in the summer.

This isn’t the first time express or 91 has sent multiple teams to the qualifiers OR the championship series. Both have done this multiple times. Why do parents care so much about these teams. Jealousy...

This has to be the funniest reply. At least they have a chance to play. I'm sure if they were moved to another team, their playing time was minimal on the first team. Not EVERYONE can win!

Is it because you're afraid they'll have an advantage? If not, then you and others like you, seem to care an awful lot about "b" kids, that have no impact on your elite lacrosse kid.

I'm sure the long time Express kids that were bumped to the B team will enjoy losing at the qualifiers and watching their buddys in the summer.

This isn’t the first time express or 91 has sent multiple teams to the qualifiers OR the championship series. Both have done this multiple times. Why do parents care so much about these teams. Jealousy...

You think that B team has a shot at top 7?

I assume tournament won't let express put A team players into B games when B losing?

As I understand it, they had more than 25 on their roster coming into this season. Those parents knew there was a chance their kid might not go with the top team.
Pay all the money to go to a 1 day qualifier and your kid leaves sad not advancing to the WSYL....doesn’t sound that good to me...

I would think that the program is covering the cost and it's not an additional cost. I know my sons team works this way. If that's the case its the same thing as going to a regular tournament and playing a few games and leaving. Except the teams are hopefully all very competitive at this event.
Express brought 33 kids to a scrimmage a few weeks ago. No joke.

Yes, but there is hope that might not happen and if they attend enough trainings their sons skills will be recognized and he will get bumped up the depth chart. Yes, parents actually believe this instead of just accepting the spot where their son belongs. And let things just progress over time.

I guess. The b team isn't playing together for the rest of the summer?
100% agree , A team B team who cares , challenging your kid to play as opposed to playing for dad or dads friends , a supposed A team that’s a b team anyway ..i give Express B kids credit and parents credit . Playing for the head coach at arguably the best lax high school on LI ..Great coaching great organization and still playing in World Series
How many is Express bringing to NJ or wherever their playday is next weekend?

That is the Express sales model. And you bought it hook, line and sinker.
Yep!

Express W going for the WS qualifier is a stronger team than prob 90% of the teams on LI aside from maybe 2-3. Top notch coaching so I wouldn't jump to criticize anyone that makes that choice for their son.
Please stop! So let’s hear the Li teams they actually beat? They have a solid 5 kids that should actually take their talent to another team. I would agree that they do have good coaching.

To do what? Be on another team that only has 5 or 6 kids. How many LI teams have depth beyond that?
IMO they may as well stay where they are and be on a team with an amazing coach.

Also, it begs the question, why do YOU care??? It's not your son on that team. It's not your hard earned money paying their tuition. You do you.
It makes me wonder why so many people care about a team that according to them is no good and doesn't belong there. You should be happy! One easy team for your son the lacrosse god to beat.
this is nonsense. the holdbacks have not hit the 2026 class for LXC. over the next couple of years it happens with players heading to private schools. there are no holdbacks on the 2026 team (at least on the top team, that is). maybe a couple/few with summer birthdays but that is the difference in the school stating dates. the older teams it is certainly true, but this particular class has not had the influx as of yet.

There definitely seems like too many people obsessed with this team. Nervous? Jealous? Why care so much about express 2nd team??

Did you ever think maybe those “solid 5-6 players” may have come from other teams because they want to play for Express?
My kid loves playing for them. He’s played for other teams good coaches, daddy coaches,young coaches etc. Made other teams in different tryouts but HIS choice was to play here. He’s coached well,plays the position he likes, improving his skills and is happy. So I don’t see why I would send him to True Blue or Lockjaw or 91 or anywhere else. Great he’ll never leave the field! Play every position but goalie! But he’ll also not win much or be where he wants.
Ridiculous comment by the jealous poster. There’s probably more than 8 players on that team that have come from other teams to play this season with Express Wieczorek that can play for any other team on the island. Get over yourself. They play where they want to be. Go watch your own kid.
In this tough year being on Express Wieczorek has been great for my son.

So no holdbacks on laxachusetts? Why absent from WSYL then? A previous post sends to say that laxachusetts is too old.

You seem to get it. Do what is best by your son! These kids only have so many opportunities to be carefree and play. As this blog clearly shows they will be big fat has beens living through their kids soon enough. They are all 12 and barely 13 which means they are closer to being draft eligible than they were when they played in kindergarten. Think about that. Stop putting more undue pressure on them then they are already getting from their peers, their school work, and puberty for that matter. Grind your axes and take out your frustrations in your alumni games. Stop putting more pressure on our kids that we never had to deal with. Stop shaming parents, coaches, and most of all kids for that matter. In the end make sure your son is happy, well adjusted, and participates in as many sports and activities that he can. We should all be parents that guide our kids and push them to excel but not at the expense of their happiness or our own for that matter. Find what works for you and yours, set expectations that are attainable and mind your own business. Speak positively on this blog and criticize face to face. God knows there's enough negative BS in this world that we don't need to perpetuate it. Good luck and good health to all of the players and teams participating this season and beyond. Wins & Losses matter but not as much as relationships, integrity, and happiness.

TLDR
We played Express Wiecz this year. Very solid team. How does WSYL work ? Is their an East qualifier ? What LI yeams will we see there ?
Strong rumor, they will be moving the qualifier to Long Island as Delaware is still a quarantine state.

Relax express dad. No one cares about Express W. The reason people starting commenting on this team was because of this comment

“ Express W going for the WS qualifier is a stronger team than prob 90% of the teams on LI aside from maybe 2-3. Top notch coaching so I wouldn't jump to criticize anyone that makes that choice for their son.”

That’s what got everyone all pissed off. I sure you would agree it’s a silly statement.

There definitely seems like too many people obsessed with this team. Nervous? Jealous? Why care so much about express 2nd team??

Did you ever think maybe those “solid 5-6 players” may have come from other teams because they want to play for Express?
My kid loves playing for them. He’s played for other teams good coaches, daddy coaches,young coaches etc. Made other teams in different tryouts but HIS choice was to play here. He’s coached well,plays the position he likes, improving his skills and is happy. So I don’t see why I would send him to True Blue or Lockjaw or 91 or anywhere else. Great he’ll never leave the field! Play every position but goalie! But he’ll also not win much or be where he wants.
Ridiculous comment by the jealous poster. There’s probably more than 8 players on that team that have come from other teams to play this season with Express Wieczorek that can play for any other team on the island. Get over yourself. They play where they want to be. Go watch your own kid.
In this tough year being on Express Wieczorek has been great for my son.

Relax express dad. No one cares about Express W. The reason people starting commenting on this team was because of this comment

“ Express W going for the WS qualifier is a stronger team than prob 90% of the teams on LI aside from maybe 2-3. Top notch coaching so I wouldn't jump to criticize anyone that makes that choice for their son.”

That’s what got everyone all pissed off. I sure you would agree it’s a silly statement.

I think you’re the only one pissed off Mommy. Could it be because it’s true? What are these other super strong teams on Long Island? If you’re so pissed off must be 10 stronger. Let me guess you’re a True Blue mom? Maybe some other powerhouse!
My son played the express Wiezorek team. I thought they were pretty decent also. Not a top team but definitely some strong kids there. To say they aren't one of the better LI teams just can't be true.
You’re right people seem to be obsessed with express...why isn’t anyone talking about 91? Could it be because kids left for express lol, leaving 91 with 15 players and forcing them to bring 2027 kids up to play with them lol. What a sad organization

Go back a few pages, east teams are listed

That “list” doesn’t even show Express on it. Not to mentionI heard Legacy is going as well.
Oh wow . Here come 2027 machine to save the day. Get a grip 91, express spanked your 2026 team and also spanked your 2027 dream team machine. Combining the two will be just be more spanking ahead for you. What a joke
I’m surprised they are bringing any more players. They only played 15 before everyone left!

Arrogance such as this is going to be why your team does not win the WSYL. It's an infection that will only get worse.
One or two great games is all it takes to win a championship near the end. Anything can happen! That’s why they play the games and don’t hand out trophies on ratings!
Some surprise upsets would make some parents go insane!
I just hope boys get to have a somewhat normal season. Good luck to all.
Is Legacy 2026 going to World Seties ?

91 is the arrogant organization. They have known for years that the 2026 team was struggling. Parents were asking for a change. Their requests were ignored. You reap what you sow.

You are correct. I questioned why what going on and left. The coaches are very nice guys but definitely play to the towns that they are from. In my opinion they’re trying to make the players from their town/Hs stronger so that their sons teams are stronger when they get they. They are sacrificing 91.

Take away the 1 defender on Hawks. The rest are not good. Limitations
2026 Laxachusetts Black. National champs. These are the facts. Beat all these teams except the Hawks who didn't show up. You can do all your LI bantering but your teams stink. Actually they are diluted. The Tommyknockers get it. Great team. The Hawks get it, obviously great team. NY/LI don't get it. We kick your butt every tourny.
Didn’t hawks beat sweetlax last summer...should be an interesting year of lax

Sorry we are not living in the past, LXC isn't ranked in the top 20. July NLF it was Hawks first, Tigers second, Madlax third. NLF opener in 2019 and as a reminder it is 2021 when all the top 20 teams were there and it was Hawks #1, Tigers #2, 91 #3 & LXC #4. And now Express beat the Hawks yesterday. Will we see you LXC at the World Series?
Laxachusetts Black? They are still a team? No one has seen them play since who knows when. Must be hiding in Joe Biden's basement.
What team is the Express FO kid playing for in the WSYL? 2025 or 2026? Can't play both like yesterday
Hah. Ranking 7th grade lacrosse teams is comical. Who is raking them? 2026 NLF national champs were Lax Black.

I'm a parent. I didn't lose to anyone. Your sons team is non existent. Are they even playing?
I love how laxachusetts dad chimes in . What next, tommyknocker dad? Hawks and Express are the top 2 at 2026, that's obvious. Lachusetts obviously has way too many older kids since they aren't in the wsyl. I would be money that they will meet again in the finals

In their loss to LI Express, did Hawks play their WSYL team or regular club team?

Against Hawks - Express didnt switch out their D or attack and the same offensive middies came on - same goalie the whole game

Lots of kids standing on the sidelines to play 2 games
Boy- that is the best post I have ever read on this site- thank you for hat perspective
ummmmm. interesting...just this weekend Express whipped Hawks. sooofunny when anyone says something with the word never in it.. usually doesn't work well

When were these games? Saturday?
Lots of hype for a random play day in March. When do hawks and express play again? Seems like everything reshuffled post-COVID and this age group is a lot of fun with more teams in the mix as things open up. No dog in the fight but playing a kid at two different age groups on the same day is a little shady, sounds like one of the teams will be in trouble without the dominant fogo.

So sounds like the starters are very good but no depth in the team. Strategy doesn’t work when it gets hot and they are playing their third game of the day.
gotta figure that this the excuse for the Hawks losing.. It is interesting.. regardless of the holdbacks and all the other advantages..if Express just plays their best players, they win hands down.. oh well..I guess it is possible for smaller, younger Long Island kids can beat much larger, tougher, Hawks..

7-5 is a whipping? Can we get a game recap for those that werent there? Never heard of a 7-5 whipping.

Close game that could've gone either way. Hawks up 4-0, LIE made it 4-2, Hawks 5-2, LIE scored the next 5. LIE FOGO did not play 25's Sat.
Hats off to the FOGO for Express - kid is a STUD
This weekend they played.. I guess any argument about who the King Is,is mute. whether Express or 91 or Igloo..the champion always goes out of Long Island as do over 50% of college players.. they play with their own age group, they play all the older teams that play older kids and then they as they get a little bigger they start to run all those teams off the field.. just facts.. its been going on for 20 years.. I would think that some of these other areas would see it and adopt but as so many have so vocally wrote ...winning in the fifth grade is really important..good luck losing when it it gets real..
Close game. But once LIE got on a roll, the Hawks were visibly deflated. No shame, it was a very good game. Look forward to these teams playing and making each other better in the future.

FOGO is no longer playing 2025. Playing on age 2026. 2025's got too big too strong, wasn't able to dominate

Sounds like LI has it all figured out. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We will all lay down now.

Agreed. My nephew plays for a 91 team. Definitely holdbacks. Check out St. Anthony's and Chaminade too.
Any details on how that went?... big plays?... Players to watch out for?
Appreciate that.

Jersey Express is a good team with a huge goalie, LI had nothing left in the tank at that point IMO.

Man, pretty confident. Beat Hawks by 2, tied True and already crowning yourselves the future WSYL champs!? And do yourself a favor, take a look at at some top college lacrosse rosters. Not even Hofstra is 50% LI, let alone the top ranked programs.

Spent 5 min looking at the rosters of the current top 5. I included all NY kids and it isnt even close. Time to open your eyes. There is talent outside of LI.
Duke - 13 NYers
UNC - 7
UMD - 4
Rutgers - 5
Gtown - 7

I would bet that most of the top teams have more kids from west of the Mississippi than LI. Coaches are expanding their recruiting. There are players beyond Nassau and Suffolk.

I'd love to hear one lacrosse program not on Long Island that is anywhere near 50% LI kids. Feel free to post it.

If true, and the #1 team went 2-1-1, the Sweetlax is your new #1.
Agreed, Sweetlax is the clear front runner. The other teams have too many weaknesses to be a clear contenders for the crown.

Rumor is that Sweetlax has multiple kids that are not WS eligible Pretty sure they would need to beat Express and Hawks to climb the ladder.

FYI Jersey was playing with a 2024 goalie and at least 3 2025's according to parents on the sideline.
Not sure I believe this post, seems totally ridiculous that people would allow 2024 goalie to play with 2026s. If true then it sounds like nJ express has a significant goalie problem for WS.

I typed that and meant 2025.
The goalie on Jersey’s head was even with the top crossbar on the goal....72 inches. He probably weighed 175. Pretty Unlikely that he is a ‘26 kid.
How many Lacrosse Scholarships are Available and What Schools Offer Them?
Not all colleges that are eligible to offer scholarships will choose to do so. For example, Ivy League schools choose not to offer athletic scholarships. Lacrosse is an equivalency sport, which means all scholarships are not full scholarships, and coaches can divide the value of the scholarships available to them between as many players as they see fit. Full rides are very rare.

Men’s Lacrosse
NCAA D1: 12.6
NCAA D2: 10.8
NJCAA: 20

The current Duke roster has 50 players. 12.6/50= NOT A FULL RIDE

Not about the scholarship. It is nearly impossible to get into Duke with straight As. You need to have something that the school needs/wants. I suspect non of kids on the Duke roster would have been accepted at Duke had not been for the lacrosse hook.

Sweetlax has never beat Hawks. Congrats to Express, great game and cant wait to play again. Greats fans and great atmosphere!!!!
I've said it before... an upstate team will win the WSYL this year. Sweetlax or FCA...You heard it here

It was a great game. The tale of two halves. The Hawks goalie made some highlight saves and #5 had a hat trick before some people had even settled in. The Express FOGO was lights out and #99 was a beast on offense and defense. Express showed inspiring resilience fighting back and the Hawks learned a great lesson that led to blowouts in their next two games. This is what youth sports should be about. It's going to be a battle for years to come and we should collectively be proud of all the boys for their work to get to this point. They'll probably be teammates in the future. Good luck to everyone this weekend.

Correct. However, only LI kids are allowed to receive lacrosse scholarship, and they make up 50% of college lacrosse teams!

Regarding the 6ft tall 2026 kid who is "on age", keep in mind that "on age" differs from state to state, as different states use different calendars when placing kids in Kindergarten, etc. NY, for instance, uses a calendar that makes their kids younger when "on age" than every other hotbed-ish state. NY "on age" kids for 2026 are almost always going to be 2008 birth years. In relevant other states, many of the "on age" kids are later half 2007s.

This is yet another reason why lacrosse should move to a BY system, or maybe a Sept-Aug system. Even the non-holdbacks are not similarly situated. For the life of me, I have never understood why the club owners have not figured this out. For the kids that are more multi-sport athletes, and for whom lacrosse is not that big a focus, many of them have been one and done on the travel scene and age disparities has been a part of it. I know several families that were frustrated by this and their kid played one year and that was it. Yes, the kid who is both a top athlete and a year round lacrosse player can handle the older kids, but the kid who is just a good, but not great athlete, and who only touches a stick during lacrosse season - the older kids are too much. These kids are available during the late spring/early summer travel season, and the summer tournaments are a lot of fun. You would think the directors would try to increase their customer base by leveling out the playing field. The top kids can always either play up, or play on AAA type teams vs the top kids at their age. Hockey has figured this out. There are a TON of mediocre athletes playing travel hockey and shelling out tons of money who come back year after year, because they get to play in competive leagues and travel to competitive tournaments - where all the kids are, on the average, the same size and at the same level of development. My kids have played a TON of hockey and lacrosse against MD and PA kids, and its amazing how these states seem to have lacrosse kids who are much bigger and faster than the hockey kids. Its because of the age differences.

A few years ago when my kids were younger our team was camped out next to another team from a different state. The kids were hanging out and talking, which all the parents thought was awesome. They started taking about hockey and the kids realized that most of them were at the same tournament earlier that year. But then as the conversation continued the kids came to learn that the other team was Pee Wee, which our kids were Squirts (if you know hockey you know what this means). The parents of the other team seemed embarrassed, while the kids thought that this was because they were better at hockey. Suffice it to say this other team killed us when we played.

There are a TON of mediocre athletes playing travel hockey and shelling out tons of money who come back year after year, because they get to play in competive leagues and travel to competitive tournaments - where all the kids are, on the average, the same size and at the same level of development. My kids have played a TON of hockey and lacrosse against MD and PA kids, and its amazing how these states seem to have lacrosse kids who are much bigger and faster than the hockey kids. Its because of the age differences.

A few years ago when my kids were younger our team was camped out next to another team from a different state. The kids were hanging out and talking, which all the parents thought was awesome. They started taking about hockey and the kids realized that most of them were at the same tournament earlier that year. But then as the conversation continued the kids came to learn that the other team was Pee Wee, which our kids were Squirts (if you know hockey you know what this means). The parents of the other team seemed embarrassed, while the kids thought that this was because they were better at hockey. Suffice it to say this other team killed us when we played.

On age for 2026 and WSYL. better?

Careful, you are uniting Hawks and Express parents now.

The WSYL Hawks team will be missing their best attack and their best pole. Will not be the same team.
Are knee down faceoffs allowed at WSYL this year ? Also are knee down faceoffs allowed at high school level in NY this year ?

I would assume not in the WSYL. They probably use NCAA rules

Knee down and motorcycle grip allowed at WS.

Not sure I totally agree, as a parent of a HoCo elite team that plays Hawk’s I can confirm that their defense and attack are pretty strong across the board. Not sure who you think is “best” but my guess is the other players will easily fill the void.

Anyone know if knee down faceoffs are allowed in high school this year in NY ?
Saw someone had Lockjaw listed as a travel team. Isn’t that a town team ? Are they any good at this age group ?

And tie?
Only 5 teams entered in the South qualifier this past weekend. So maybe the top 2 qualify. Only 3 in the central qualifier this coming weekend, assume they take 2. The west 14U had 4. So if you assume the 13U takes 4, plus the 2 from the south and the central, there will be 16 spots available between the East and North. That also assumes no international teams this year. The top half of the East and North will likely advance.
Why so many kids on LI express?

NY high schools will be still using the old rules. Knee down, moto grip still allowed this year, also youth lacrosse.

Youth PAL is knew down? Club is stand up faceoff so is college so it's surprising HS would stay knee down.

The real Express team was down in MD. Outlaws probably played the B or C team.
The Outlaw scrimmage was a big secret. How did express teams do down in MD ?

I asked an express parent over the weekend and he said several of the players that were there will be playing with express’s other team going to the WS.
If the outlaws played express it was their b or c team without the World Series starters or atleast part of their starters.
The CoachC Express team was 6-0 down in Md this weekend, and it has 25 players not 40 ..and everyone plays and contributes , this is how you become the 1 team in the country, dedicated coaches and kids playing the best teams every weekend, i applaud Roar for challenging themselves and playing some very tough competition in Delaware, that’s how you get better...now 91 stays home and plays mooselax and then tells the parents they are elite ? Worthy of paying 5 grand ..then playing in my lacrosse tournaments against LILC and Turtles..cmon man ...
When Express B has all its players it’s number 3 on Long Island after Roar ..with arguably the best coach on Long Island, that’s what you pay for , not a bumper sticker
Please stop embarrassing yourself calling express B third on the Island! Please tell us who they beat then? We all will like to hear this response.

Nice post Coach C.
ILNA(Italy Lacrosse North America) will be forming 2 teams on Long Island: a 7/8 and a 9/10. We will be participating in 2 tournaments: Lake Placid and NELS in Sudbury MA. The cost will be $640 for the two tournaments. Players will receive: helmet, uniform, 2 performance shirts and a polo. We will try to hold 2 practices before each tournament. If players are of Italian descent and are interested in playing, email Joe Baccarella at jbaccarella@italialacrosse.us

There were clearly more than 25 kids on the sideline for LI Express (including 3 goalies) in MD this weekend. What was also clear was that less than 25 kids played. So I guess the other kids were part of the cheer squad?

Do you really think you played the top level Express or even the actual B team? Top team, along with some of their B players for their second WSYL squad, were out of town. You played some B's and maybe some C's. If you didn't spank them, you'd be the joke of LI.

Roar dad , your team is awful . Doesn't belong in the A brackets and it shows . Make all the excuses you want to make and congratulate yourself on playing " tough competition" as opposed to what? Weak competition lol. You're a fool . Stay in b brackets or play town teams and relax . That's where you belong . You are not an elite team and yoy don't even belong in the same conversation as the top clubs in long island such as express , s2s, igloo , 91. You can dream about it but that's about it . I'm glad you challenged yourself amd got beat not go home and play the B teams

The express b team is an enigma. When anyone beats them it wasn’t the b team, it was the C team. When you ask them who the B team has played and beaten its crickets. Oh and the b team went 0-3 at the tri star tourney in jersey in the fall. We all agree the 2026 CoachC team is the best. Just stop with the B team is the third best team on Long Island
Roar is joke . Please stop pretending you're an A team and stop wasting everyone's time .

If you have a 40 man roster for your A team, players 26-40 are really just B team players. Stop kidding yourself
Roar who lol
Big boys are back in town is comical. Almost as comical as the roster size of the express team. Players 17 to 40 and their parents must be loving it..

Those teams may have beat the C team. No way any of those 3 beat the B team. I've seen all 3 of them play and they're all the equivalent to C teams. Actually i'll give LILC B team recognition. Congrats

Wow. Who cares about express b team. Give it a rest.

Jealous about what? Spending a ton of money to say I'm #1 in 7th grade????? You gotta be in 10g's with all the extras you're dishing out for. You're a sad pitiful soul. Keep throwing away your time and money and enjoy the turnpike again. Coach C could careless about you or your kid. You're an arrogant fool. I hope it doesn't rub off on your kid or his teammates. Keep making youth sports horrible, you're doing a great job.

We played them this weekend. For what you are saying is a "town team", they weren't that bad. They should be losing to Express who pulls from all of LI and beyond.

Yes they definitely all did beat your B team . Keep drinking the Kool Aid and your kid will be always walking in the footsteps of the A team. The B and C team are only a cash cow for coach C and his A team to play unlimited tournaments and that’s a fact!

Cool story bro. You're wrong.

When Express B has all its players it’s number 3 on Long Island after Roar ..with arguably the best coach on Long Island, that’s what you pay for , not a bumper sticker

Wait didn’t Express B lose to the Turtles, LILC and Rebels !!!

Those teams may have beat the C team. No way any of those 3 beat the B team. I've seen all 3 of them play and they're all the equivalent to C teams. Actually i'll give LILC B team recognition. Congrats

Yes they definitely all did beat your B team . Keep drinking the Kool Aid and your kid will be always walking in the footsteps of the A team. The B and C team are only a cash cow for coach C and his A team to play unlimited tournaments and that’s a fact!

Cool story bro. You're wrong.

Obviously the truth hurts !
Totally true. Need to make some adjustments to B team.
Can’t stop the Outlaws? Cmon. Stop trying to shoot from the 40. Involve the attack shore up the d. Turtles spanked em at Mitchel sports complex fall also.

My guess is if the St Anthonys varsity coach is their coach he knows what he's doing and what that team is capable of. Personally I think the outlaws are a decent team. I highly doubt the turtles spanked anyone. That team is simply not good.

No one has ever questioned Express B coaching on this site. When someone states they are the fourth top team on L.I but hasn’t beaten a single B team like Rebels, Moose , Turtles or igloo B that’s when you get backlash . Since they are so good please tell us who they have beaten ? Anyone can pay to enter the WSYL qualifying round.
Excellent Coach at Express. Great at teaching game. My son loves to practice and play with Express. Coach W. has made a great difference in both my son’s ability and his attitude towards the game. Just my opinion.

They have beaten 3 of the 4 teams you mentioned. They have not played Moose though. They played and beat the Rebels when they played and beat Rush in the fall. They played and beat Igloo B at St Paul church in the fall. They played and beat the Turtles at Nickerson beach in the fall. Any further teams? I am in no way saying they are the 4th best team on LI but those are the results of those games.
This qualifier brackets and schedule keep changing by the minute
You can see the Turtles vs express games on YouTube. Mitchell field game and Nickerson. Also igloo vs express at Nickerson. Check them out. See for yourself.
The turtles are not a good team.

Is the discussion here still about B teams? Who are the top 3 teams for 2026? Let's talk that. Express (we get it) after them? is 91 still in the picture? Supplementing from their 2027 team. Igloo? pretty darn good. And been working their butts off. Outlaw? good team and good coaching. Primetime? no talk but solid team. Who ya got? It aint B team express that's for sure. Maybe they have 5 solid kids. Legacy the same.
I'll make this easy for the LI team rankings. NCAA Bracket Style

Express = (#1 Seed favorite to win)
Igloo & 91 = (#5-8 Seed)
Outlaws, Legacy, Express B = (#9-14 Seed)
Everyone else = (#15 & 16 seed)

Express is Gonzaga. Best of L.I. Period end of discussion
Igloo & 91 are good. They will beat like teams and if they get lucky upset a team or 2 above them. They are underdogs against the top teams.

Everyone else will be happy to be in the tournament and make history if they upset anyone.

Now that the qualifier is upon us can we all just agree that we wish LI kids and their teams luck. Regardless of club affiliation the coaches and players have worked hard.
Looking forward to at least seeing TWINS (part 2). The two roar dads (tall guy and short guy with beard ) who were probably the posters on here proclaiming that Roar is #3 on long island hahaha. Get your popcorn ready .

I guess you really don't know much because CoachC 2026 has beaten sweetlax.....and anihilated the other teams you mention here . 91 is horrible and doesn't belong anywhere and express will also have their way with FCA and 2way .

So no matter which way you slice it CoachC will dominate the qualifiers . Seems like you're the one who's running scared . Probably a 91 dad .

Name a team who beat 2026 CoachC if you're so smart ?go ahead I'll give you a fee hours to come back here ..fool. I love it when dada who aren't even on the field playing complain about brackets . Shut up and let the kids play . If a team is good enough they will beat whoever they need to beat and advance , there's no easy way out

They stated that 6 teams will advance to the WS from North
Did Express bring their WSYL team to Delaware or was it their holdback team?

No holdbacks ,never had them and don't need them ..go choke on your sour grapes

I agree with this. Except the statement that 91 is a good team.
LI express doesn’t need nor use holdbacks. Here are the best true 2026 teams:
Express CoachC
Sweetlax Upstate
Tigers
Towerman
Hawks

I would agree with this list. If you look at games played all are close games and definitely fun to watch. The rest of the 26 division is several steps below

LI Express was smoked by Tigers 11-5. What happened? Is this the tiger’s regular team or the team they will field for WSYL?

Question is: did express play their stud fogo or not in this game?
Yes they did and he did great but got beat a bunch of times by a up and coming 27 on tigers
Sounds like a 4 horse race with Tigers, Hawks, Sweetlax and Express.

You other guys should go play town ball

Great to seeing the kids getting better and many of the same players are still on both teams since we started this rivalry many years ago. Hey even the Yankees lose a game every once in a while and Express is still #1!

Was this your take when you beat the Hawks for the 1st time or if 4 or 5 times over the years?
How pissed are the express dads that were waiting to post about their Delaware dominance once again. now its the tigers were good but they had 16 players that played and our 15 were tired from sleeping in bed bugs for the last 3 months as we traveled like gypsy's chasing the non existent NJ thruway title of musty hotel champions! do they take your ez pass or just wave at you? don't forget to get the oil changed and lube chachc up for the next road trip.
The Tigers didn't beat us they......... holdback......... hold on im an express B parent wondering why i'm paying the toll again.....grease the wheels again because it's a quick turnaround to sit on the sideline again..... Express is great until we lost. Holy garbage!!!!! make a U turn at the Lombardi rest stop. You losers will do nothing but eat runny water dog's and eat out of trash cans. Hey I play for Coach C...........We owned DE and I love jersey rest stops!

A Yankee fan that doesnt realize that the Yankees havent won a World Series since his 2026 kid was still wearing pull ups.
Go back to the trashy Maryland board troll.
I noticed that WSYL lists rosters for all the East teams but not for the North..seems odd
Of course...seems odd
Also no opposing teams parents like each other

Not an express parent but my son played the tigers. That’s a different team than when he played them last time. Bigger and better for sure. I don’t know if that’s their World Series team but if it is they’re the clear favorites.
Tigers added kids from Big 4H

A few teams asked to increase the roster past 25+ because they carried extra kids due to covid uncertainty. Tourney owners said no. They claimed it would be too crowded, I kid you not. Combined 2 age groups, put them all in one spot and claim it may be too crowed? For the record there are NO outdoor restrictions in DE.

Who cares how many on the roster, bigger concern is are they all on age for the event?
Just a reminder on the East qualifier Posted Rosters
Sweetlax should be the favorite in DC

Sad commentary on the current state of youth lacrosse. Parents who would actually cheat to play down and parents who complain incessantly about unfair advantages. US Lacrosse will never fix it. What will you do when your kid gets to HS and plays holdbacks or post grads, what about college with held back hs kids playing 5th and 6th years. Stop already.

Like the 25 year old middie at UNC (I think) that is married with a kid on the way playing with and against 18 year old freshmen.
With the central and south qualifier done, does anyone know how many of this teams qualified? One only had 3 teams. The other only had 5 teams. Does anyone know how many teams from north will qualify?
Puberty is the great equalizer. Age only matters in years 10-14. Once in HS all bets are off but when you have 90 pound on age kid 2026 going against a 140 pound 2025 holdback, that is just not fair.

Just reserve your hotel already. They'll take all the North and East teams because nobody else wants to go. Renaming the event the WS of NE Lacrosse. Look on their site, the other regions mostly bailed. North and East are only playing because its relatively close.

To be fair, no Central, south or west team is going to be able to hang with the East or North top teams using the WSYL rules (on age and 100 miles)

Sad commentary on the current state of youth lacrosse. Parents who would actually cheat to play down and parents who complain incessantly about unfair advantages. US Lacrosse will never fix it. What will you do when your kid gets to HS and plays holdbacks or post grads, what about college with held back hs kids playing 5th and 6th years. Stop already.

Chill out hold back dad

Coming from the guy who can’t even figure out how to post a message only once on this board. Thanks for the double post. I looked on the website and the app. I don’t see the info anywhere.

(on age and 100 miles)........This rule is getting blown up so many places by so many teams. 2026 insanity sure didn't slow down for WSYL. This is a truly special set of parents at this age from Coast to Coast. I am not calling out the East or North. It is happening in every region. It's really sad.

I blame US Lacrosse for not using USA Hockeys format of playing based on birthyear rather than graduation. It would solve all the youth lacrosse issues regarding holdbacks or in this example actual teams qualifying to compete at the WSYL rather than all star teams. Defeats the purpose. High school and beyond then I agree age is no longer a factor. Big boys then play with big boys.

You're soooooo interested in a team you're not a part of.
Here is how the WSYL will finish this Sunday. Team placement:
1 - Sweetlax
2 - LI express C
3 - orange crush
4 - FCA
5 - prime time
6 - team 91

You're clueless and trying to stir the pot, safe to assume you're not associated with any of those teams, good luck to all the boys this weekend, it will be great competition.

I understand you have to play the game and any kind of attempt at rankings is foolish...but I will agree with most of this except that express will finish 1 (just beat sweetlax last weekend) and I'm not sure that 91 makes it , they're awful. S2S,igloo and 2way have a chance at that 6th spot

Wrong
Hahahaha, probably the roar dad again saying "wrong". Can't wait to see the TWINS on the roar sideline again , who will scream louder the little guy with the beard or the tall dude . Should be fun to hear those fools then see them walk away with their headsdown back to the car
Wow what happened to 91Orange Crush? Losing 21-1? Do they have a different team than years past?

Orange crush is not 91. It’s a team from Syracuse.

My mistake I’m thinking of Orange storm. Too much orange! Lol
Orange crush is an upstate New York program. Not affiliated with 91. The 2020 91 LI team was called Crush, yes.

That’s not 91, different program all together.

Orange storm is the 91 team.
🤦‍♂️
Was there a lot of 91 machine helmets playing with the storm?
Yes there were and they managed to have a good day against bad teams.....but won't be so lucky going forward . Sweetlax, express 2026 will wipe them off the map . Sure yhaybage advancing but so are teams with losing records in the 2025 brackets. When it's time to play the big boys (express, sweetlax, Hawks) it's going to be very lopsided

Orange crush was supposedly ranked #6??

About 7-8 machine kids. Orange storm looked a lot better with the machine kids. I think maybe 3-4 machine kids were in the starting lineup for orange storm.

Atleast 6. 2 or 3 stayed on the field.

91 is weak. Their record today would lead you to believe they are stronger than they are. I was surprised with Igloo. Thought they would've been better.

The igloo /91 game was very good. Could have gone either way. 91 won in overtime with a machine kid scoring the winning goal. I was surprised that igloo lost to FCA. Orange crush was way overrated. Overall a good day of lacrosse
Sorry to burst your bubble but igloo is not good .....got blown out by CoachC 2026 every time . So as has been stayed in here before there is CoachC 2026, sweetlax, Hawks then everyone else
Championship game final
2026 CoachC 6
Sweetlax Upstate 2026 4

Wrong, Tigers are in that group, arguably the best out of that right now. Don’t be surprised if they beat the Hawks in the East Regional Qualifier and win the whole thing
Was a good game. Surprise of the weekend was seeing sweetlax have a hard time with primetime.
Coach CoachC getting it done in the Finals!!!
Hawks 9 Tigers 6
If you saw this game you know that Igloo had the game in hand, with the ball, up a goal with 30 seconds to play with the ball behind 91s cage. . bs call by ref at end giving 91 a man up

You dont know what your talking about if you don't include Tigers in that group.
How did Express B do this weekend?
What teams have advanced to WSYL from North Qualifiers?

Tigers lead 1-0 and then Hawks pulled away. The game was never close. #5 and #33 are good but they had no answer at the faceoff and they were on defense the whole time. Tigers parents are a great group of people

The Express B probably has the best coaching staff in the organization. Why would you leave that team and go ride the bench? That makes zero sense. Especially since they just proved they could be competitive.

I agree with this. Top notch coaching. Why ride the bench when you could be starting with express b. They were a very competitive team.

Yes competitive for the weekend because Coach C lent them kids.
Express had no d for eclipse. Not nearly fast enough. Couldn’t get by LILC?

Kids that probably are better suited on the 2nd team and just enjoy being there and that experience. You the A team envy stuff is ridiculous and how parents will justify it sad in my opinion. Playing against the best kids in practice means nothing if you don’t play in game.

So the ball went out of bounds and the player picks it up and rolls it into the corner so the other team can’t get a quick re-start. Delay of game every time that happens, nothing BS about that. Easy call.

At least express didn’t need a bunch of stud 6th graders to come save the team. Without the machine kids 91 doesn’t even qualify. Machine kids scored a garbage load of goals and even scored the game winner against igloo. Once the machine kids go back orange drizzle will go back to being a not so great team.
Let’s not forget that Sweetlax is from upstate and will be one of the top 4 seeds at the WS, along with LIE, Hawks and Tigers.
Main problem with LI Lax is that there are way to many Club teams! If a quarter of them United it would benefit the kids!

Its all good, 91 will go down hard once they play the top teams (hawks, LI Express, tigers , sweetlax) , the machine kids cant save them then. As a matter of fact the whole Machine team got stomped on by Express 2026 last summer when they stepped up to play 2026 A brackets. So nowhere to hide now, only a lopsided game left to put the Machine saviors back where they belong .
Thank god I didn't forget my sunglasses , the blinged out shirts/hats/pants/socks/shoes from the 91 parents were blinding.

I agree, not a BS call. It was a great game to watch with igloo players making a mistake or two more then 91. their coaches had a handful of them as well. Can’t have those mistake to compete at this level and expect to move on.

Looks like the 2025 91 and igloo teams were both 1 & 2 for the north qualifier. Guess the program were betting on those ages and put all their eggs in those baskets.

SL should be more concerned with getting past the first round. The Tigers beat us 11-5 last weekend and SL is 0-4 vs our Express team.

The BS call where the ball went out of bounds with a minute or two left in the game? The un-sportsman penalty? Where the Igloo kid on the sideline took the ball and threw it all the way to the end line when the 91 kid went to pick it up to play it? That BS call?? Ask your coach who just shook his head at his own player. How was the consy bracket?

So the ball went out of bounds and the player picks it up and rolls it into the corner so the other team can’t get a quick re-start. Delay of game every time that happens, nothing BS about that. Easy call.

I agree, not a BS call. It was a great game to watch with igloo players making a mistake or two more then 91. their coaches also had a handful of costly mistakes as well. Can’t make those mistake when trying to compete at this level and expect to move on.

Looks like the 2025 91 and igloo teams were both 1 & 2 for the north qualifier. Guess the program were betting on these ages and put all their eggs in those baskets for their programs.

At least express didn’t need a bunch of stud 6th graders to come save the team. Without the machine kids 91 doesn’t even qualify. Machine kids scored a garbage load of goals and even scored the game winner against igloo. Once the machine kids go back orange drizzle will go back to being a not so great team.


Its all good, 91 will go down hard once they play the top teams (hawks, LI Express, tigers , sweetlax) , the machine kids cant save them then. As a matter of fact the whole Machine team got stomped on by Express 2026 last summer when they stepped up to play 2026 A brackets. So nowhere to hide now, only a lopsided game left to put the Machine saviors back where they belong .

91 will beat Sweetlax, FACT!


Gotta love it when someone says "FACT" when it hasn't happened yet lol......just goes to show you how low IQ the 91 parents are .....staring something as a fact they has never happened by the way and will never happen . Go get your GED as a group please

Sweetlax looks very good but not sure they can beat the hawks but probably can beat tigers.

SL should be more concerned with getting past the first round. The Tigers beat us 11-5 last weekend and SL is 0-4 vs our Express team.

Says the tigers dad. Sweetlax and Express have each other’s respect. We know where our teams stand.

OMG such a surprise IGLOO on a forum complaining. Can we just start a whole new forum named IGLOO COMPLAINTS, it would be epic with non stop activity. Enough already. You program is, was and always will be second tier. No shame in that, just accept it and move on.

The 4 best teams that came out of DE this past weekend were LIE and Sweetlax from the North and the Hawks and Tigers from the East. At this time, these four teams are simply put, better than everyone else. All qualifying teams have 3 months to get ready and finally settle this in MD at the WS. The clock starts now... will your teams be ready?

For the "all star" teams it will come down to how often they can get 2-3 practices per week in together. That likely will not happen until post spring season. So is 6 weeks of 3x/week enough to close the gap with the top 4 teams who practice together regularly?

It's U13. Doesn't matter if they pulled up. They put a team together for the World Series and they're playing with it. Just because you don't like the way kids that have been with the team had to ride the bench doesn't change the fact that they qualified. So yes, they're a team. A World Series qualified team.
You must be a disgruntled Igloo parent.
Does anyone know what happened to the Legacy Eels? Used to be super competitive now they have dropped off. Saw they were tied with CoachC at half 2-2.

I agree. But don’t come on here beating your chest because you qualified with a 5th place finish. The team lost about 7-8 players in the middle of the season to express and even true blue. A coach even left in the middle of the season. Hopefully Spallina will take the team over and straighten out the massapequa daddy ball issues. I do think you will see more people leave after this season after they lost playing time to 6th graders. Before the machine players were brought up the team had lost a lot.

100% of the players on the field for 91 were 91 players. LIE is a sham and everybody knows it. Kids from Connecticut, kids from upstate NY, and kids poached and pulled from other clubs. Take a good look at the roster smarty pants and a bunch of express kids are sitting on their rear ends or on the B team because of non-express kids taking their spots after tryouts. I would rather lose like a man than win like a snake. CoachC would rather just win at all costs. Enjoy the B team because CoachC is going to replace your kid next.
So what you’re saying is there were 2 Upstate teams in the final 8? That’s 2 teams with approximately 3 million population to choose from vs the 20-25 million LI and Philly have. I’d say be worried about Upstate- specifically SL

Sounds like a sour grapes coach or a sour grapes parent. Good luck to you but it seems that you weren't needed.

Is this the first year of the WSL, that not all 3 of the "big" clubs on the island made it to the WSL. At-least the outlaws made it to the championship bracket.

They hung with most of the teams they played but lack the depth that some other clubs have. Need a fogo and a few pieces but they are not a bad team.
Going 1-5 in Delaware is not hanging in there. At best a good B team or a glorified town team. Maybe if they practiced, or even played few tournaments and had coaches that wanted to play they could improve.
Sweet Lax is a top NY team, no doubt about it. Great organization with top talent and good coaching and deserves recognition. Can't speak for the population of the Philly area, but the most recent census for Long Island ( Nassau & Suffolk Counties) is about 2.833m. The entire population of New York State is 19.5m. Everyone knows there is an abundance of talent coming from upstate. It's just spread out. As long as these programs continue to put the "players" first and leave the parents and coaches ego's and attitudes out of it, "New York" lacrosse will always be a dominant force.

They are not a top team at this age. They barely beat LILC which is really a average town team.

Man, you guys give that guy all of the credit. None to the kids? Seems like the FOGO is more important than him.
You must not have been in DE this past weekend! LILC went 1-5. Played 5 games 9GF and 51GA. You were lucky you didn’t have to play Sweet Lax. Shutout twice, 1 goal against Prime Time, beat Legacy by 3 and lost to Express B by 1. Same story, kids can’t play for the bigger clubs so a bunch of dad’s start a team so their kids can start. Kudos to the boys for playing up! Parents need a reality check and should put some thought before they post. There is nothing wrong with playing against the club teams, but be realistic with your expectations.
Sorry 1-4 for the weekend.

Leave at the end of the year. It's not going to change. 20 kids pay to keep the other 10 on the field, just the way it is. Take action by taking your money elsewhere and never look back.

They play within the rules. The boys are at every practice no matter the distance they have to drive to be there. They're a team. You think because a kid travels far to practice twice a week or however many times that they shouldn't be on the team? It's TRAVEL lacrosse. You sound like a 91 parent where 75% of the team comes from daddy ball Massapequa and Wantagh. That team will always be last because of how they formed that team. The talent is not good. Hence the 2027 kids pushing several of them out and others walking away midseason. Watch what happens when the 2027's go back to their team this spring/summer. The L's will start piling up.

No one is leaving. Everyone played and played big minutes. You troll like Biden climbs stairs...fumbling all over the place. Congrats to the only 2 LI teams to qualify, Express and 91.

You didn't think 7 players and a coach would leave mid season, they did. More will pack their bags. You can count on that. Either way, that team is a mess and will continue to be unless the daddy ball stops, which it won't.
Only 3 players were added:
2 from the 26 CoachC team and 1 from the 27 team.

The coach that left WAS the problem and was toxic. I was going to say "see you in DC' but your kid's team didn't quality.
91 parents, you are missing the point! If you're not satisfied with a person the provides you with a product or service, you fire them and go somewhere else. Find a better product, find a better service! Those parents that left made a choice for that very reason and live with their decision, right or wrong. Whether they went to Express, True Blue or anywhere else, that's their choice. You chose to stay and that's your prerogative. And even maybe, the coach that left felt that daddy ball doesn't work and went to a program that was in the best interest of his son. So stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and worry about your own kid and the team he playing with. Focus more on your kid and not all the gossip and banter that goes on in these lacrosse forums.

That coach was the reason 91 even remotely hung with Express during a scrimmage last year. His son is on the #1 team coming from the north.

You mean to tell me that 7 kids left in the middle of the season along with that coach because HE was the problem?? That's laughable. They left and went to Express and True Blue because they weren't getting what was in the best interest of their kid.
I guess the Express kids finally decided to wake up and play. After the half, the rest was history with a 9-2 final. Score should have been much higher!! The goalie saved them from being embarrassed!
Good tournament lot of good teams, kids trying. What’s wrong with some of you people on here, are you that demented?

Kids are 13 years older, and I don’t care if they were in college, you sound like fools, you have no respect for competition or the game. It’s embarrassing reading some of the things that are written here.

Kids are switching teams flip flopping,, let them do what they want to do, that’s their decision, teams fold etc. it’s a business for some it’s a passion for others. Just stop, most who say these things I can know never really picked up a stick and played. No chance, real laxers have respect for the game, for their opponents, and the creator. Stop embarrassing yourselves and celebrate all the kids that played hard over the weekend.

Wait until NLF , 91 won’t win a game ..guaranteed, might not show up either , without the Machine kids they will get embarrassed.
Make up your mind, a week ago the express b was a top 5 tram can’t have it both ways,, or can you?

I never said anything about them being a top 5 team but no one should be making a general comment that LILC beat express when they lost 15-0 to the A team and from what I see beat the B team by 1 goal and got crushed in 4 other games.

Just stating they won. Their only win. Not bragging. Not my kids team.
They beat Express b team. Maybe the the AA kids didn’t make any difference.

I read somewhere here that there was only 2 kids from the A team on that B team.
They only won one game . It’s a pay to play event and they played to keep the paying parents happy. Any team can enter the qualifiers !
Is the more interesting question why didn’t more LI teams qualify for the WSYL? Isn’t LI the hot bed for lacrosse? Is there a shift in where the best players are from?

I don’t believe a shift . Unfortunately LI is saturated with club teams and the talent is just spread out . If a quarter of these teams came together more teams would of qualified. To many people want to make a buck of youth lacrosse. Just look how many teams have folded over the years.
Same 4 people on here commenting to each other. Give it a rest. You guys should meet up in a parking lot, punch each other in the face and call it a day.
Not true. There were more.
Express won every game this weekend without that “famous” fogo stepping one foot on the field! The kids love coach C. Work hard and improve and you will play. What more could you ask for in a coach?

You can come too. Just get off your peloton, put on your kids team shirt, hat and sweats and you’re in. Take it easy sweetie. You don’t need to suggest such violence. It’s a kid’s game. Just a game.

Yes. You too?
What a brutal forum. As a parent on a 26 team that qualified in North, I can objectively state that Sweetlax and Express LI are the cream of the crop. They clearly hadn't stopped practicing through COVID, have the size/athletic advantage, and just play flawlessly. We played 91 and they have some good players. I didn't see their 27's get much PT, so doubt it would have made a difference. Even if they did, its "U13", so whats the big deal. Lets see how these same teams perform in July when they've all had equal chances to practice and build chemistry. At this age LOTS can change in 3 months! Should be a fun summer.

I agree with you except for the 27's not getting much playing time. When my son played them there were at least 4 consistently in the game. It was clear because of the darker color helmet. They held their own though!
I agree also. They have some very good players. It wasn’t that long ago that they were very good. 4th 5th and 6th grade they were better than Express. A few additional players going into next season, they could really improve. Still a good team.

Some people just like to complain. If they lose to a MD team, they complain about hold backs, whether they have them or not. Now there are complaints about team 91 qualifying with the help of being up the better 6th graders. Who cares!? The U in U13 means UNDER. They are UNDER 13.
That is the greatest thing ever. Complaining that younger kids are playing up in lacrosse. The sport with holdbacks, double holdbacks, post-grad year, and graduate student players. Playing up? What a bunch of cheaters! Especially at the youth level! This is lacrosse those 6th graders should be playing 5th and 4th graders not up against 7th and possibly 8th graders. What a bunch of cheats!
What's the turn out going to be at this??? Who's going? June 19-20 in MD.

Despite losing at East Qualifier and not being one of the six qualifying teams, the Towermen hype video, begging and pleading worked and they are now somehow "invited" to go.

Another example of everything wrong with youth sports today in this everyone gets a trophy day and age.

You were eliminated at the qualifier.

Stay home.

Beg and plead and you get to go? What a sorry program and bad look for the WSYL if that's true.

Here's the question, who is getting the boot or decided not to go.

I guess there could be some spots available if not enough international teams enter. Also doesn’t make sense that central gets 2 invites when only three teams show up for qualifier.

And this is a surprise! Don’t be surprised if you see different kids on the sidelines at this event also. Pretty sure it would be no problem to add a kid to a roster for any of these club teams .

Most likely 1 of 4 international spots didn’t get filled and WSYL needed a 24th team. Don’t think anyone was begging, other than WSYL to get all of their spots filled.
This produced video from 2 days ago that starts with the WSYL logo was not begging/pleading?

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNWHICNhUAj/?igshid=g4pa03xx8npq


Here is their announcement from this morning. Clearly weaseled in:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CNaBjVJhLT4/?igshid=2yq7qxi2frhu


Call it what you will. They lost both on Sunday and beat total cream puffs on Saturday.

Towerpersons had one goal games against Madlax and VLC all star teams. I would not say there are not worthy of a spot. Seems a little arbitrary since True Annapolis also had the bad draw in group D and lost only one against BBL (by 1). I guess NJ is also better than Long Island at this point and will be well represented. There will be a few more shifts before July, have your checkbooks ready.

Sounds like looser talk to me. Winning is winning, regardless of how "close" it was. Based on your rational, why even play each other?

Obviously a spot opened up, WSYL needs to fill it, how do the fill it? They will pick the next best team would be my guess. Nobody was denied a spot.

Every WSYL champ has come from North.

North has always had more teams go than East.

So why are there now 7 going from East and only 6 from North?

#7 from North "lost" a spot.

Why have the qualifiers?

$104,500 gross from East and North qualifiers for 25 and 26.

Please contact WSYL, maybe they can replace a north team that lost a bunch of games with a central or south team.
Nothing but a money grab by the clubs and the WSYL. I'm sure the WSYL started off with good intentions, but it hasn't taken long for the spirit of the event to be tainted by greed and dishonesty by both parties. Same goes for the clubs. They start off about your kids potential and how his club will take them to another level and help get them into a college program. Then they turn into politicians(good intentions to start) and then it's all about the economics to them. $$$$ These programs can't wait until after the WSYL are over and the tryouts for next season start, the top four teams will have an enormous turnout. Every parent/kid wants to play on the best team no matter their talent. $$$$ There is a tremendous amount of talent in the sport beyond club teams and a kid doesn't need to play on a club team to be noticed and to play at the college level.

Who cares?? What team from the North would deserve to be added over the Towermen? Eclipse? FCA Upstate? LI Outlaws?

Really? Explain to me how a kid gets recruited if he is not playing on a club team? Where is the talent that doesn't play on a club team?

Agreed. You are more likely to get recruited through your club team (assuming it is a top team) than you are through your HS team.

No. They would not. True had four teams in the East U13 Qualifier and not one qualified.

Go back to the Mid Atlantic forum True Dad.
I think it was already stated, but apparently some international teams can not commit so they are taking the next highest seeds to the WSYL.

Towermen are better than average but clearly will not be in the top 4. There just too many good teams. You can’t lose big games in qualifier as they did. The team just doesn’t have the grit to want to win it. They will go home early.

What is a towermen ?
Any team that shows up and plays 2 great games against any of the tougher teams can change everything in the WSYL. Nothing is predestined. Almost anyone can be a spoiler. Could just be one game that keeps one of the elite teams out of finals. It’s happened before. Good luck to all.

Give it a rest. Express, Hawks, Tigers & Sweetlax are gonna be the top 4. No one is changing that.

They don’t belong and it was proved but the program is gonna ask each player to form over $375 plus all travel expenses just to finish near or on last place. SMH
T-who? Lots of talk. Not much in the way of results. Doubt they even advance to the bracket.

Sure they will be peddling their wares in your neck of the woods soon. Good luck and hope no one falls for the free stick giveaways. True is only as good as the other kids they can pull around to each roster. When those kids are busy or rostered elsewhere, they struggle. It was a great platform out west and middle America, but lacrosse is already established on the East Coast and it is not working here. All you need to do is look at the WSYL results. Too many teams to spread the good kids around and distance restrictions so they struggled.

Wrong again. It will definitely be the 4 teams mentioned. They have completely dominated every event they've played in until now. All of a sudden there is going to be multiple upsets because YOU say so? No, that isn't happening.

Wrong again. It will definitely be the 4 teams mentioned. They have completely dominated every event they've played in until now. All of a sudden there is going to be multiple upsets because YOU say so? No, that isn't happening.

Sweetlax been on here pimping his team that hasn’t won a tournament.....ever. Fact!

Agreed. Can't see either of those 4 losing before semis. Unless one of those md-va all star teams build some cohesiveness in the next few months. Hard to see since they all play in a spring league with one another and then practice for summer tournaments. Though to coordinate schedules to get regular practice for the all star team kids. That's where they will get left behind.

Your organizations arent covering the player cost?

Sure they will be peddling their wares in your neck of the woods soon. Good luck and hope no one falls for the free stick giveaways. True is only as good as the other kids they can pull around to each roster. When those kids are busy or rostered elsewhere, they struggle. It was a great platform out west and middle America, but lacrosse is already established on the East Coast and it is not working here. All you need to do is look at the WSYL results. Too many teams to spread the good kids around and distance restrictions so they struggled.

Come on now, let's be fair True IL and True MN absolutely dominated the Central qualifier and will be in DC.

"It was a great platform out west and middle America"

True is a disaster in the West. True Utah and True Idaho got absolutely destroyed in West qualifier. And True Colorado is barely functioning. True is trying in CA, but I do not think they will get any real traction.

Oh, since YOU say it will definitely be those four teams I guess that makes it official. Ok.

Past performance says the guy is probably right. These teams dominate anyone they play. They have literally only lost to each other.

Some of them have losses coming outside of that group of 4 in the last year.

Tigers - Losses to Hawks, Express N, Primetime, Towermen and a tie vs Express N
Hawks - Losses to Express and Tigers
Express - Losses to FCA, Sweetlax & a tie vs True
Sweetlax - Losses to Hawks, and 2 to Express.

Doesnt include playdays that arent on USCL

Even if they do well. What type of message are you sending to the kids?

The team didn't play well enough to qualify from the start. Now you are going to lobby your way into a tournament that you simply didn't qualify for?

I am sure that it is a tough pill to swallow when the team was basically made for and focused mainly on attending the WSYL.

Sounds like the lesson being taught is to cry until you get what you want.

Why am I not surprised...

Hey Towerman guy try not to look so bitter. All these teams above beat the teams you lost to by a lot. All won there tournaments in the winter and fall. Your team isn't even ranked. Change your jersey color to green for jealous, bye bye

Express - Losses to FCA, Sweetlax & a tie vs True

My son plays for Blackops and it is pretty clear from the wsyl results and the march tournaments Blackops are ranked #5 in the nation behind these teams. While we hope we can make a run to win wsyl there is no team in the country that can touch these four teams above except maybe us and maybe Madlax. Tough to say who is #1 now as In march saw express beat hawks, tigers beat express, express beat sweetlax two times in close games and hawks beat tigers. The other teams listed above got blown out by these 4 teams but we were close with these teams.

Towermen will beat most teams in this thing. Extra training prior will get team ready. Towermen have a good a chance as any.

You should not compare BO’s to other teams, as it is a compilation team with kids coming from over 6 plus different clubs. Any games these kids win need an asterisk next to the score as each opponent is a true club where the kids play together all season while BO is somewhat of a fraud with many kids from many different teams masquerading as a club. Heck the one goalie has been shopped to 7 different teams (3 or 4 compilation teams) over the past 4 years searching to be validated as a winner. How would the individual clubs that the BO kids come from hold up in WSYL? Things that make you go hmmmmmm...

If you are losing 15-2 against Express and regularly losing to VLC, Jersey Express, 2way, BBL etc how about trying to win a game before talking like a big dog

Looking for advice. Have 3 sons, my older son plays on a lesser 2026 team in one of these regions. He has been told he could make one of these elite teams if he tries out. We we would have to switch clubs though. Anyone have any experience with this siutation and how did it go? If he joins this much better coached team next year he also will get better looks in high school and they got a good record at that. And If he does move should I transfer my other two or will the existing club not care about just moving my older one? Thanks.

Come on man, have some positivity. Don’t sell BO short before they even show. Each of these four teams has a flaw that can and will be exploited. BO organization knows these weakness. Every one of those teams has lost before and will lose again. Two and half months is a long time in the lacrosse world and the Spring season has just started.

I can't speak for the Towerdudes or if they were whining or whatever,but I can confirm that both internationaln teams can not accept their bids for the WSYL due to covid nonsense. So WSYL decided to add one team from the North and the East based on championship bracket seeding. It was always going to be 7 teams from both regio s. So technically yes 2 teams that didn't qualify in Delaware will move forward to the series. I will add that both teams were ranked within the top 25 going I to the regionals.

You are good to be hesitant to this decision. Had the same decision to make with my oldest a while ago. We left for Sweetlax all at ocne and never looked back. My oldest is now D1 player and we moved my others at the same time and it was the right move so my other kids did not get blow back and are at teh top of there grade. My other son is also looking good for college now and the advice I would give is the teams that are strong into high school and with the best coaching and roster and with strength of schedule will only get stronger. Do not go to the marginal team that offers promises but has no results is the course we learned. Dont know the other markets but hope this helps and good luck. Also look for the coach that cares about your kid and the team. Trust your gut and avoid the money grab.

Maybe WSYL should have a bracket where these scrub teams should have to filter out to eventually play the #1 seed in the first round like college hoops? These scab teams play a mini playoff in 2 to 3 rounds and the winner of the worst teams plays the #1 seed to make it fair?

Everyone stop stating Towermen didn’t qualify. THEY QUALIFIED! WSYL makes the rules and determines who goes. Topic is boring, move along.

The above 4 teams are clubs and from only 1 oragnization. Black Ops is a mix of 5 team. Please stop with #5 because VLC, Next Level, FCA, Looney's all get blown out and couldnt even enter by themselves.

I am not talking about lacrosse, I am talking about lacrosse together as Black Ops as opposed to their main teams. All kids on the WSYL teams are playing lots of lacrosse.

Even if they do well. What type of message are you sending to the kids?

The team didn't play well enough to qualify from the start. Now you are going to lobby your way into a tournament that you simply didn't qualify for?

I am sure that it is a tough pill to swallow when the team was basically made for and focused mainly on attending the WSYL.

Sounds like the lesson being taught is to cry until you get what you want.

Why am I not surprised...
I can't speak for the Towerdudes or if they were whining or whatever,but I can confirm that both internationaln teams can not accept their bids for the WSYL due to covid nonsense. So WSYL decided to add one team from the North and the East based on championship bracket seeding. It was always going to be 7 teams from both regio s. So technically yes 2 teams that didn't qualify in Delaware will move forward to the series. I will add that both teams were ranked within the top 25 going I to the regionals.

Who are they adding from the East? They had to know the international teams weren't happening.
Are you paying attention? Towermen apparently

My bad, I meant the East.

Looks like Towermen had the next highest seed in the East

Everyone stop stating Towermen didn’t qualify. THEY QUALIFIED! WSYL makes the rules and determines who goes. Topic is boring, move along.

Who qualified from the North?

FCA, Igloo or Outlaws?
Haha..looks like FCA Upstate is the 7th seed out of the North
Easy Towermom
Say what you want about T-men getting in after the fact but I saw them play Black Ops which is a Super Team made up of about 4 other elite club teams who couldn’t qualify on their own due to holdbacks and played to them to a one goal game. They also lost to Mad Lax by a goal with their leading scorer sidelined due to injury. So did they earn a spot, maybe not, but they are good enough to deserve one.

Thanks Hawks Dad for your deep insight. Your comments provide clarity on the situation.
Who cares ! Keep shelling out the cash Daddy.

They didn't qualify like the others had to by beating their foes. So no, they didn't "earn" their spot and aren't good enough to "deserve" one. They were added because the WSYL WANTS THEIR MONEY!

Um, Towermen placed first in their division during pool play. I am starting to think you don’t want the Towermen in the tournament because you think you may lose to them. How embarrassing would that be?
This person sounds kinda scared of the Towerpeople. The WS needs everyone’s $ but also needs 24 teams. If they are no good, you will easily beat them in July. It is common for the WS to take 7 especially in the largest qualifier. Judging by how the qualifier went down, you could have finished 2nd in your bracket and have gotten an easier road. Day 2 was not reseeded. The qualifier is an evaluation of who the best teams are. Kick their Meanyand stop whining.
I'm not concerned at all. My sons team didn't need outside assistance to get through the qualifier that the towermen did not get through. Thank you tower mom.

Towermen didn’t qualify.
After BBL pulled off a huge 5-4 victory against the mighty TRW, they survive to Day 2 in which they get throttled by the Tigers and Madlax but have another monster win against all star True PA team to clinch their WS birth. Incredible performances and well “earned” in every way proving to the lacrosse world that only the best “earn” their spot.

Ain’t that much loot - $225k - after the helmets and paying for Joe Beninati basically left a with some coins and some lint in their pockets.

50 Helmets? They probably donate them. Joe B probably doesnt cost a ton in July for a day

But BBL got the job done and earned their birth as did Jersey Express. Both are the pride of NJ! TM lost and are accepting participation trophies, if my kid played for them wouldn't let him participate in shame.
For the amount of work it takes to put it all together. Hire people for events,venues for all rounds etc. Not a huge money maker. Think about it. Would you coordinate all this for the amount you may clear? It’s a nice idea. It only gets insane due to parents. My kid could care less if we didn’t go. It’s more important to the programs than the kids playing. Ask your kid how much they talk lacrosse with their friends or listen when you’re driving them and their friends to or from practice/ tournaments. It’s not the am all end all.
I still think the event is a great idea. Just don’t obsess about it.

Are you serious? Do you think they would continue with the event if they weren't making a fortune. Aloha Events makes bank, count on it.

The WSYL was part of the strategy by Body By Jack guy, he was trying to get more kids into the sport so that he could build a larger consumer base for his MLL. Obviously MLL folded but I think now he doesn’t need the money but loves the game and wants to grow it outside of Long Island. That is why you see Denver and DC as host areas.

What other team should go if not towermen?
Need 24.
WSYL automatically sends the next highest seeds in the event that a team can not participate no matter the reason. towermen or not, this isnt the first time this has happened.

The brackets are still up and shows the Towerment losing in the consolation bracket? Doesn't sound as if they "advanced" but were given a participation reward.

Give it a rest. That team is not good at all compared to the the ones that really advanced. Towermen definitely not an elite team.

Thats not the consolation bracket..take a closer look. Its the championship bracket..just saying
The only clowns are the sweaty towermen dads running their mouths on the sidelines as well as this forum. A bunch of "we won" dads and "we're gonna" dads . You arent doing anything but paying bills like the rest of us. Its a shame your boys did not actually qualify but were given consolation prizes, but hey still looks good on insta right tower pops!? So get those posts out and hash tag em up towermommies and towerdaddies. Even if you show up and run the table, you'll still know that part of it was a gift. see you clowns in july!

Towermen would poop on NJ express and BBL and those teams know it. They beat a team 11-1 that BBL beat 5-4 the same day.
They lost in the championship bracket quarter final game to Black Ops by a goal. Towermen is easily a top 6 or 7 team in the nation behind hawks, CoachC, tigers, sweetlax, black Ops and maybe Mad lax who beat them by a goal with Towermen’s leading scorer on the bench with an injury.
now were gonna play the -- we beat team" b "and they beat team "a" so were better than both. Sorry that just doesnt fly! some of you dads are really grasping at straws now.

Here is the deal. Towermen can easily steamroll 18 of the 24 teams going to WSYL. Towermen would have trouble against Hawks, Sweetlax, and tigers and would play even with Madlax, BlackOps, and LIE. Other than those teams, nothing to worry about. Towermen are going deep in this Tournament - that is a fact!

Not even at top 15 team. How many games did they win on day 2? The answer is zero.

They will beat 18 because they're from parts of the country where lax is not a strong sport. They will be crushed by all other teams from the East and the North. They lost in the qualifier for a reason. You must be their PR person.

i do think that the towermen are a good team and was surprised by their performance on sunday. But what the towerpeople are forgetting is the fact that this is called the world SERIES!! a series of games in which you did not qualify- you were given a concsolation prize and a free pass to the second event in the SERIES. Even if you run the table 7/1-7/4 you didnt win the SERIES!! cant win the SERIES! you most surely shouldnt be coming on here with the" thats a fact" and "towerman are going deep in series". BS--just be humble, thankful for your gift, and keep your mouths shut
Most of you all are stunads. Look at the conclusions you're jumping to. Towerman's play will be the main factor that determines how deep they will go at the WSYL tournament. Given their track record, they will not be eliminated early. The playing and winning is done on the field, not on the BOTC board lmao
Who is 7th team from North that “didnt qualify” but is still going?

Just checked their track record. They lost the 2 games they played on Sunday of the World Series Qualifier. Not a great track record for a team that claims to be going far in this thing.

No 7th team from the north. The tower men were the only team that didn't qualify but are still going after begging and pleading with the WS directors.
Probably the smartest thing I’ve ever read on this website. Everyone chill and let the boys play. They are freaking 13 year olds for Christmas sakes.

Not true. FCA Upstate I believe is the 7th team from the North.
Long Island Express Chany
Sweetlax Upstate 2026
2Way
Prime Time
Team 91 2026 Long Island Orange Storm
2026 Eclipse Nightmares
FCA Upstate 2026

This is correct. Fca was offered a slot after the international teams dropped out
Sure would be fun to watch 91 go deep in WSYL after the bashing this forum has given them this season. The animosity against teams is hilarious. It’s all parents. Not players. Comical, now bashing towermen lol
Another notIntelligent post that does tries to oversimplify and jump to early conclusions without taking the whole picture into account. You should remove yourself from any further commentary.

91 will blowout all the teams outside the North and East. They're probably going to do very poorly against all the better teams though. I do wish them luck but I don't see them going far.

Towermen are in the East region..get with it.
Not much to say....Delusional at best....Scrimmaged LI Express 4x and were beat every time by wide margins even with using 2nd & 3rd lines. Will be finished early in July.
Lots of bloviating from a team that has been in hiding since last fall. Where have you been? Plenty of good teams to play in the North & East that you haven't played. Get out of your little Long Island sandbox and play with the big boys! Who cares about the South, West and Mid West.....Everyone knows where the talent is and you just keep avoiding it.....
The only thing the 91 2026 Team is going to do between now and the World Series is bloviate! Who have they played? All the top teams in the East & North have made it a point to play as much as they possibly can., where ever they can. You've been hiding in your little Long Island sand box since the fall and avoided playing teams with any talent to protect your brand. And yes, maybe you can beat the teams from the South, West & Mid-West, but who cares. All the talent is in the North & the East where you don't stand a chance! Bringing up a bunch of your 2027's to compete doesn't say much for your 2026's, but I get it (more kids for 2026 summer tryouts $$$) Save them for next year so they will only disappointed once. From what I hear the 2027's are a really good team. So from now until the World Series, I would focus more on practicing and playing in as many tournaments and scrimmages and less on BOTC. Less is more!

They will be very busy playing in cupcake tournaments. They're supposed to be an AA team but keep entering tournaments with B and town teams. It's what they do to protect their name.

Running covert Ops on an anonymous message board to try and smoke out parents from a rival club and not involved with either. That is totally normal. Completely sane. Read that again.

You're probably on psychiatric medicine and routinely see a therapist.

Rival club?Smoked out? I didn’t say I wasn’t involved with either, just my sons don’t play for 91. Rivals really?

Ok, you seriously need some help. Towermen will crush whatever pathetic team you are affiliated with. Hopefully your team is putting in as much effort training as you are on this site.

I am 100% certain that they will not, Towermom
What team is Team 91 LI that attended Spring Jam? Is that 2027 Machine, or is that the mixed 26/27 WSYL team?
Isn’t Spring Jam a My Lacrosse Tournament? Where was 2026 Orange Storm this weekend? Strange that they would not play in their own tournament. Or did they!
100% Machine , none of our 26 storm kids went...that Machine team is small and is going to struggle winning games going forward..Storm coach was too busy with the 2026 B team that went and got embarrassed..🤔..

Lost to LILC, Igloo B and RVC Futures... even used a couple 2026 A team players and goalie. This age group is a disaster for them... yet no changes being made.
This 2026 91 team would have 100 kids at tryouts this year and a real B team if they just change head coach..how does such a great organization allow this ? They will loose 5 more talented kids this year and then maybe Machine can play in the 26 bracket every tournament..is that the goal ? So so sad maybe worst 91 team that i can remember and it could have been prevented.They literally took the B team and the 27 team but not the 26 storm to a tournament and parents are ok with this 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

You people are clueless. Why would a parent be upset not going to a meaningless B tourney? 2026 kids are still in "fall" school sports. You sound like a disgruntled dad from a B team. Can you remember the only two teams to qualify for the WS? Express and 91. So keep on hating!

B team coach is a nice guy. But also coaches A team and doesn’t care about the B team. Many tournaments parents would have to warm up the kids for games because coach was busy either coaching A team or coaching his younger kids. Then after games were over he would bolt to coach his other teams. It also felt like he was using it to get playing time for the kids on the A team who didn’t play as much. As a result a lot of the better players left. Not because they thought they were A players. The left because they didn’t feel like they had a dedicated coach.

If your not happy with 2026 coach’s and team then why do you stay? Is it a status thing. If your son his that good sure any club team would add him to their roster.

Why do you have to play for the best team? There are plenty of excellent 2026 coaches . Why are you going watch your team play from the sidelines? Players get better playing not watching! FYI Coach C will take a better kid on any given day and yes there are plenty of better kids still out there.
Some teams were full this year due to promising all previous year players a spot due to pandemic year. Probably see more moves this year. I bet igloo will have a good number trying out. 91 too.
As far as the “status” question....... it’s south shore lacrosse..what’s the status in that?

How'd the WSYL qualifiers work out for you? Of course as an Igloo parent you'll rationalize. Can't have it both ways.

Must be a dad who thinks WSYL is the way to determine if youre good or not. Probably the same dad who wrote Express and 91 are the top teams... because they qualified. 91's 2026 team, by itself, is a joke... we all now that. If you actually think 91 is better than Igloo, on Long Island, you're wrong. 91's 2027 Machine team beats the 2026 team.

Not an Igloo parent...just think your logic makes no sense. So, if 91's 2026 team loses every game up until the WSYL, are they still better than Igloo or any other team... because they qualified?

Not an Igloo parent but I think they will have a good turnout for tryouts because they didn’t take on almost any players due to promising existing team players a roster spot due to pandemic.
Maybe I’m wrong. We’ll see. 91 lost a lot of players. Express took on a bunch. I know a few kids parents are interested in Igoo. My kid will probably stay put. Not because of WSYL, because he likes his team. You never know things change season to season.

FYI 2026 91 only has B teams and their are plenty of other good B teams that will beat them!

91 2026, which is the team in question, did not qualify on their own for the WSYL. I have no issue with the 2027 kids playing up, totally legit. But don’t come on here claiming that the 2026 91 team is better than Igloo. They’re not.

Also, 91 parents are a little delusional. I think they are suffering from a case of Stockholm syndrome. They think they should be loyal and grateful to their coaches and directors for providing a joke of a product at this age group.

I’d bet my life savings you’re a machine parent.
Legacy should change it up, the program is train wreck. A lot of disgruntled parents. Can't blame Covid, it's been going on prior to that. Barely practice, never at any tournaments or play dates. No better than a town team.

Results matter at some point in this argument. Igloo with their best team did not qualify and 91 with their team did. Igloo should have made their team better but they didn't. 91 did. The difference with 91 is that every player on the WSYL roster was a 91 kid. Some were 2026 and some were 2027. They beat your 2026 team. So who has the joke of a product?

Igloo is a non qualifier for the WSYL and 91 is. Keep complaining and keep making making excuses but results matter. Igloo is staying home and 91 isn't. Get better or continue to be 3rd rate.
Machine cheats because they play down for the W! So obvious! Play up AA and see what happens.

I’m a mom btw.

You'll be the same person complaining here that holdbacks and post grads are killing your kids chances. Got over it. The was an age based tournament. You lost. Typical Igloo parents making excuses.

Express is clearly the top team. Then 91. Then everyone else who is staying home for the July 4th weekend.

The funny thing is that these are the same two teams who's parents cant even stand next to each other on the sidelines because they are talking smack about everyone else's kid.

Machine beat Storm earlier this year. There will be a mass exodus this summer after Storm kids ride the bench at WSYL. Best bet is that they go to Igloo, the #2 LI team.

Machine beat Storm earlier this year. There will be a mass exodus this summer after Storm kids ride the bench at WSYL. Best bet is that they go to Igloo, the #2 LI team.

Yea, OK. That's why Igloo kids were at 91 practice. Enjoy the 4th at home.

Yes Express dad its known . You don't have to repeat yourself . For your kids sake I hope he wins in July. If not I'am sure we will all hear your excuses !!!!!!

Yes, me too. If not, it'll be complaining about how the Hawks, Tigers or Sweetlax players are too big, strong or they photoshopped their birth certificate.

Highly doubt it's an express parent complaining about that since they've beaten all of the teams you mentioned. Likely someone stirring the pot.

Has any team ever beat one of these 4 teams? I think they have only lost to each other. No one can compete with them.

I think you mean to say that they have beaten those teams recently. That doesn't negate the losing record to those teams.

FCA Beat Express last summer. Primetime and Towermen both beat the Tigers. Don't go crowning one of those 4 just yet.

One year ago is a long time ago. And express has added a few more very good players. FCA lost to 91 and eclipse in qualifier. Only reason they are going is cause they got added after international teams dropped out
More bloviating for a team that went 2-3 at the World Series Qualifier with 25GF & 35GA. Looks like many of the teams that you played a year ago improved while FCA regressed. Thank goodness for Covid and an International Team dropping out, otherwise you would be staying home in July. Sweetlax, 91 & Eclipse stressed that point at the Qualifier that you can't compete against the better teams and I'm sure Hawks, Express & Tigers will have an even bigger field day with you. You too will be gone early from the tournament.

Let’s just refresh everyone’s memory......But Igloo players are now at 91 practice?? Sink or swim with your guys?? The hypocrisy is REAL.
Towermen were embarrassed at qualifiers?
3-2 record
40 goals scored
19 goals against
Lost 6-5 to a super team black ops
Lost 5-4 to MadLax with leading scorer out injured
I’m not embarrassed about that showing one bit.
And yes, I’m a TowerDad.

First, don’t lump everyone in with you. Second, why are you embarrassed for a team that came out and competed? Nobody should be embarrassed for coming out and competing. This rhetoric you’re spewing is bad for the game. Crawl back into your hole and stay there until you learn how to respect the game.

The post was addressing the hammerhead who suggested that the team were embarrassed at the tournament. Their results were nothing to be embarrassed about.

Ashamed maybe?
Towermen didn’t qualify
Only one who will be embarrassed is the team that looses to Towermmen. You better hope that your kids are putting the hours at practice. Towermen are going to show up ready. Not a joke.

Now we agree on something.....it would be very embarrassing to lose to Towermen.
As long as Hawks, Sweet Lax, Tigers and Express don't lose to the Towerman, no one really cares! And yes those four are and have been practicing without any interruptions and will continue to play without any excuses!
Towermen and FCA ultimately qualified based on WSYL rules. Bottomline is they were both the next highest seeds in the respective regionals. If you can't get over it, then cry to WSYL or your mom or whoever else will listen. After all the banter and hating about this I highly recommend a therapist.They have medicine for this sort of mania.
FCA lost to Eclipse in OT during the championship round of the qualifier. Very small margin to lose by. Especially since the WSYL never reseeded after saturdays games. Some teams played soft opponents..just saying

FCA NY sure wins most tats per family......at least they won something.
Towermen didn't qualify. They're not a good team.
NLF summer kickoff...6/5-6/6. Who's going? Who's winning? laxachusettes black coming to make some noise.
Bottom line....Two International teams drop out....Towerman & FCA in....Their records had nothing to do with it....Just two fluff teams to fill the open spots in the tournament....At this point, both teams are totally irrelevant.....

Considering the incorrect spelling of Laxachusetts, it's safe to say you have been trolled, probably by a 12 year old.

You’re the only one crying, Towermom.
Yes they both qualified, but only by the two international teams dropping out and not by their record or quality of play. Everyone is fine with that, because that’s what World Series hierarchy decided to do to fill the open spots. It wasn’t because they are a great team with an abundance of talent.
Towerman are a top ranked team, and will easily beat most of the WSYL teams. So they had one bad weekend during qualifier, not indicative of the destruction they will reap during the WSYL.
Wsyl is a joke ...there are teams with losing records at the qualifiers going to the world series ....meaningless joke of a tournament when they allow teams that didn't even make it out if the qualifiers to also go there . Obviously the couldn't get any other teams from across the country to go so they're allowing lesser teams from the northeast to go . Fools
FCA is just humbled to have gotten the opportunity to compete with the best teams out there. Towermen seems to be full of themselves. Thats not a good look.

Agree. If you think it was bad at 2026 take a look at what went on with 2025. The top 2 in each region are really the only teams deserving to go but..... they took some really bad teams who have no chance in order to compensate for other regions with low numbers. Yes the boys will have fun and enjoy the experience but the entire event has been diluted and NOT because of covid.

That's assuming that the Towerman posts are from a Towerman parent, and not a troll. I would assume it is a troll.
Until you all beat Express, Sweetlax, Tigers and Hawks, please for the love of god stop the meaningless babble. You sounds like kids throwing sand at each other in the sandbox and then go cry to mommy
Everything will work itself out and we will know where these teams stand in a few months. As for towermen getting in with a losing record, that is just false. They went 3-2 with two one-goal losses to Black Ops and MadLax and trounced 3 teams in pool play. They are not quite at the level of the top four mentioned above but are pretty close. They beat Tigers last summer at the NAL and have added some good players since then. The haters out there are definitely being egged on by some fool towermen on this forum but they are a legit team. Instead of bashing them let’s wait and see how it all shakes out. As for the towermen parents, don’t get so cocky until you beat one of the top four teams this summer.

It is not fair to 91 to compare them to Towermoms, 91 would destroy them.
I would take that bet, but my money is on Towermen. Definitely the better team.

What is the deal with continuous Towermen bashing? Everyone should save it for after the WSYL. You don’t have any clue what you are talking about. When the WSYL rankings come out shortly Towermen will be ranked at least in the top 12 teams. Mark my Words!!!

WHOA, top 12 awesome. Why does anyone care about the WSYL rankings? Joke of a tournament

Why does everyone keep saying the WSYL tournament is a joke? I understand a couple teams who have too many kids with summer birthdays could not attend (ie Crabs, Laxachusetts) and this year you won't get the Canadian teams (ie Edge) but otherwise the top clubs in the US Lax rankings (not WSYL rankings) qualified and will do well. So why is the competition not perceived as a good? You are either complaining about the NLF tournaments that allows "holdbacks" or stating the only non-holdback tournament is a joke. You can't have it both ways. The top teams go to both of those tournaments and the same 5-6 teams will end up at the top of both. So unless you think the local Long Island tournaments are the best I am at loss on why everyone keeps saying the WSYL is a joke.

Most likely bc their kids team didn't enter, or didn't qualify. Not sure that Edge (or the version you are used to) would have been in the WSYL with all of their holdbacks.

Let’s see.....it’s actually quite simple . There are teams that went 1-4, yes you are reading it correctly 1-4 , meaning they won one game and lost 4 at the qualifiers and they still “qualified” for the wsyl? Reason is, nobody outside of the northeast cares about lacrosse so they couldn’t fill the brackets and let teams that went 1-4 go because they don’t have enough teams . That’s why it’s a joke . Because nobody cares about the wsyl especially across the country . So they should just name is the “northeast series of youth lacrosse “ not the World Series . You can’t let teams in that don’t belong there just to fill up the brackets and then expect people to take it seriously . Don’t waste your time.

Lol, nobody watches the wsyl that’s why it had a hard time staying alive and almost got shut down already, no sponsors. Only you and your wife watch it fool
What teams got in without a winning record?
You are incorrect. Check the WSYL website. All records and scores are posted.

The person saying it is a joke has a kid on team that didn’t make it. No need to defend the WSYL- it is a legit tournament that will be televised on ESPN.

They same guy who is bashing WSYL will be same guy recording the championship and watching it over and over and over again.


Lol, nobody watches the wsyl that’s why it had a hard time staying alive and almost got shut down already, no sponsors. Only you and your wife watch it fool
The WSYL is one of the highest watched programs on ESPN.

WHOA, top 12 awesome. Why does anyone care about the WSYL rankings? Joke of a tournament

Why does everyone keep saying the WSYL tournament is a joke? I understand a couple teams who have too many kids with summer birthdays could not attend (ie Crabs, Laxachusetts) and this year you won't get the Canadian teams (ie Edge) but otherwise the top clubs in the US Lax rankings (not WSYL rankings) qualified and will do well. So why is the competition not perceived as a good? You are either complaining about the NLF tournaments that allows "holdbacks" or stating the only non-holdback tournament is a joke.

haha, sadly, I remember watching it when it first started when my oldest kid was 7-8.

Any word on this tournament? I'm curious as well
For the 2025 year there is a 1-4 team advancing. Check your facts

Who cares? 25's shouldn't even be there
What are YOU doing to grow the game? Apparently not much. WSYL is trying to grow the game. Which means that you need to expand your base outside of the LI and Baltimore area. So yes, you will see weaker teams in the tournament because the goal is to get all teams from all around the country to participate.

I was hoping to see the TommyKnockers and Laxaxchusetts
3D new england took it to both tommyknockers and laxachusetts. big summer for them, dont see them losing
3D NE players will have their driver's licenses this summer so should be able to make it wicked fast to all the big tournaments.
Lots of negatively on this forum. Let’s let the kids play and have fun and get better. If you don’t like the coach, either deal with it, quit, or find a new team. If you don’t like the rules, either deal with it, quit, or get involved and try to make the rules better. If you don’t like another team them beat them or shut up.

That is what the Mohicans did. Their 2026 squad played in 14u (2025) qualifier and lost by 1 goal in championship game. Advanced to 14U WSYL

The WSYL is not a joke for 1 reason and 1 reason only. It's a level playing field. Who cares what region the teams come from play the games. Hopefully the clubs adhere to the age requirements and true 2026 kids will play against true 2026 kids. The NLF and all of these other tournaments do not have age requirements, The WSYL does. I'm not going to sit here and cry about holdbacks because that is what the game is now. IMHO all teams and tournaments should go by US Lacrosse age rules but that's not going to happen because that doesn't make money. 9/1/07 - 8/31/08..........

.
I agree. The holdback parents will often say things like “there isn’t an age requirement in high school so get used to it.” I would say that when boys enter HS most have reached puberty. In middle school, however, you have some holdback kids who are 160 pounds playing against some on age kids who are 80 pounds. You will still have a few huge on age kids, and age based isn’t a perfect system, but keeps it as level as possible.
Who's going to be at Spring Jam next weekend? It's not on tourney machine yet...
Awsome job blatant on town tourney sat. Was great to get back to almost normal.
question for folks on the most highly competitive teams.
how are games coached? are players allotted equal playing time or do the top players play more in competitive game?
is winning a high priority or is it playing everyone and giving everyone their opportunity?
are players coached to their skill set, meaning do they have particular roles or is it coached like a post camp all star team, roll the ball out and rotate players (staying within their respective positions) thru regardless of situations?
how is game IQ taught and developed? Is true game coaching, situational coaching and substituting being used/taught? are games coached like a HS/college game?

My son is on a highly competitive team. It is coached very similar to HS/College whereas players know their roles and players are put on the field for specific situations. Playing time is definitely not equal and the coach definitely plays each game to win. I'd say all of the kids do play in games unless it's a close game but at least 1/3 of the team sees less than 5 or 6 minutes a game. In my opinion the game IQ comes from being out there and seeing the field while having the kids play corrected when a mistake is made or a better option was available.
IQ comes from coaching, playing, and watching high level lacrosse. Even better if the player can watch college games on TV with someone who can explain the nuances of the game.

Between this and the MD thread there is close to 500 pages of parents yammering about who's better in 12-14 year old lacrosse. I would say winning is important for many smile
Has anyone seen the Blatant tournament 26 teams ? It’s definitely a B bracket which i understand, good luck to all the kids and teams that entered. My question is how is 91 A team playing in a B bracket ? Wow , that’s all i can say . Can they actually feel good about playing that schedule and winning 🤦‍♂️ Play up ! Challenge yourself. Igloo coaches i give you credit..stepping up to 25 A ..those 91 parents are clueless spending that money for that product
What are you talking about that’s the correct tournament and bracket for that team !!

Why are you the same guy on here trolling 91 all the time? You keep coming on here sounding like a little female dog! Yes, you are an Igloo dad who lost to 91 and are looking to get some credit for playing "up" in a 2025 B bracket in this tourney. The 2025B bracket is a joke also. 91 entered this tourney a long time ago and doesn't control who entered. You should be happy not to lose to 91 again.
Maybe people can just appreciate having a nice weekend tournament on Long Island. It’s great getting to play on the island. No I’m not a 91 parent. Kids just want to play. They really don’t give a c rap about brackets or running to Delaware hoping yo play Hawks or Crabs or whatever. All been there done that Couple of trips here and there with nice venues is fun. Staying in places with nothing stinks. Whatever happened to making it a nice weekend for all? Ocean City ,Cape Cod, Hershey,Placid, do it right. Jersey?wt f

91 can’t win. If they enter the appropriate tournament for their skill level, someone bashes them. If they enter a tournament that is a stretch for them, someone bashes them. Just let those kids play and enjoy the sport. The above poster’s dislike for 91 is palpable. It’s a little sad.
What about Towermen?

91 only came into the bracket yesterday after Igloo moved to 2025 bracket. If they were in a long time ago, kind of odd they waited to be put in the bracket until after Igloo left. -Dad from one of the B teams in that bracket that was supposed to play Igloo
Igloo can't even win in their own 2026 bracket. Why would they have entered into 2025 A division? It is really a B bracket but we don't want to offend the snowflakes by saying their kid is on a B team so we'll call it A and AA divisions.

Realistically, who would have beaten Igloo in that 2026 bracket? 91 wasnt in that bracket until they left.

You sound like the same dad who questioned people trolling 91... yet you like to troll Igloo. You complain that Igloo is playing up in 2025 B bracket, yet 91 is playing "down" in a terrible 2026 bracket... and only went into that bracket after Igloo left. Why would 91's A team play in that other than to say they got a t-shirt? Theres no question theyll win that 2026 group but what does that mean in the grand scheme of things?

91 had this tourney on their schedule since January when they put the schedule out to the parents. You must live a lonely life trolling a youth lax team and being glued to tourney machine for updates. At least you wont have to be glued for the upcoming schedule at the WS in July igloo dad since you will be sitting at home.

"It really is a B bracket"... yes, I think we all understand that whole AA/A garbage... but its still playing up a grade level rather than play subpar teams in the same age group. Is this what you also say when your 2027 Machine team plays up in 2026 B level brackets?
Who cares its Igloo and 91

You're a joke... read it again. The schedules came out for our team and we were supposed to play Igloo... they left and 91 came in. 91 was not in the original bracket at all. the lonely life is the guy continuing to respond and "troll" (your favorite word) Igloo. this had nothing to do with igloo... it was questioning why 91 only came into the bracket yesterday.

So is the B/Orange team the second team they sent to WSYL qualifiers? Or did they split those kids back between and CoachC and B?
Nonsense, express moved players around more then any other teams, guarantee you their double a players are sprinkled throughout these teams.
What about them?
Is 91 AA team called Storm ? They are playing Igloo B team ? You see that bracket of teams ? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I can’t say anything else except ..WOW , you pay for this . Wait it could be interesting final with Mooselax or True Blue
Why wouldn't they...Just more reps for those players getting ready for the summer tournaments. Be happy they are not sending the entire starting AA team as one team to play on Sunday as 91 is. Always looking for scrimmages and play dates on Long Island, but never any takers.
True Blue? In a final. Ok

Hahaha-I’m dying. The same guy posting on here ALL the time bashing a 7th grade team that your kid isn’t a part of. Clearly you know 91 AA is Storm. So transparent and kinda sad.
Must be a Mooselax Dad. Maybe True blue kinda the same.

Why do you care so much??What's sad is thinking about all these grown men scrolling through tourney machine and obsessing about a youth travel team.
Completely untrue! 91 has always been a horrible cheating moving players around dirty organization. They blast music and hold flags completely obnoxious. The goalie for the “new goalie” is much better then the little one who is Alway blaming his defense men for when a goal goes in!
Congrats to express B for making it to the playoff round. Kids played their hearts out and express as a group c team as competitive also. 91 should be thankful that express big boys weren’t there , they would have to vacate their t shirts.
Typical 91....their 2026 AA team now plays B teams lol. Hey whatever floats your boat. They obviously can't hang with the rest of the long island AA teams as they have been beaten badly by express and igloo every time so I guess the progression is " let's play B teams " .

If you are calling it AA, A, and B then it’s the B team.
Good tournament.

Good tournament.


Shows you the balance amongst the express teams, the c team is making the playoffs over their B team. Why didn’t the C team go to World Series? Those kids could have competed based on that seemed stronger then the B team.
91 has the best marketing team in lacrosse no doubt! Moms and dads love t shirts , if you can’t play in big boy tournaments you play in C level ..if you win and win big parents with no clue assume your good again..Hats off to Igloo for playing up in 2025 , not about marketing at Igloo it’s about getting better..

They had the 2027 kids playing with the team again too. Shows how thin that team is without support.
Hats off?
The 2026 team scored 6 goals all day. 5 against 1 team. Lost all 3. The A team was not above any competition there yesterday.

That is the igloo B team. The A team played in the 2025 bracket
Yes. We know. Still stated A team, not above 2026 competitors.
Probably 91. Thanks

People do it all the time, 91 has players playing up and down, Rebels and other bringing kids in from all over. Express A B and C just moved a couple of kids around what's the big deal. The parents know the deal, and look how much better they did, they qualified, can't all the kids have a good experience??
I thought they looked pretty good, albeit against weaker competition but they looked pretty good, to say 91 is a bad team, is just wrong, come July they will be as competitive as anyone. Stop being so bitter. Fighters look for tune ups, why not lacrosse teams.

igloo B had to play stronger teams then what they usually do, that's good isn't it?? every once in a while, they will bounce back.

I think it is NAL first in NJ in a few weeks. Have not seen the teams that will attend but Express, hawks, sweet lax or tigers will probably all be there and it’s been some good battles with them recently. I’ll give the edge to the Hawks for now. See ya there.

Chuck E Cheese had AA players on teams all over the place and they came up empty. If Chuck E asked you to play up you are ok. If Chuck E Cheese asked you to play down the writing is on the wall and you will not be on the "big boy" team because you stink. Stop worrying about any other club. The big rat is going to bite

You clearly don’t play for Express
is Chuck E Cheese, Coach C,, He only Brought those players to make his B and C teams more competitive, actually the B team was his legitimate B team, with no help, the C had some AA players on it, if he really wanted to win the tournament he would just come with his AA and he would have easily won the tournament no problem.

So none of his A kids were playing on that B team? Hard to believe but my son has only been playing travel for a short time.

Chuck E Cheese had AA players on teams all over the place and they came up empty. If Chuck E asked you to play up you are ok. If Chuck E Cheese asked you to play down the writing is on the wall and you will not be on the "big boy" team because you stink. Stop worrying about any other club. The big rat is going to bite

So none of his A kids were playing on that B team? Hard to believe but my son has only been playing travel for a short time.

None of the A kids play on the B team.

I think it is NAL first in NJ in a few weeks. Have not seen the teams that will attend but Express, hawks, sweet lax or tigers will probably all be there and it’s been some good battles with them recently. I’ll give the edge to the Hawks for now. See ya there.

Ok jimmyjohnstommykockers why you ain’t be at World Series ?

too old. too far
Tommyknockers talent is with the overage kids, no way they could field a legit WSYL team and be competitive. The team is a joke.

Looks like 4-2. Lost 5-2 vs Eclipse, and 14-5 vs Sweetlax. But they did beat 3D NE, 4leaf army, NH tomahawks, and the NE twisters.

Highly doubt that Laxachusettes can hang with Express, Hawks, Tigers and Sweetlax.

Express likes to have all of their troops for battle, so the sidelines will probably be packed with both teams.

Call it what you want but it's the weakest of the 3 teams.

I think they split up kids from the B & C team last weekend. There were probably around 20 kids for each team last week.
Last weekend their B team played together as there legitimate B team. There C team added in 7 kids from their AA team. Its pot luck with Express, they choose to manipulate which is more then their right to do, but they dont have actual teams if kids are playing all over the place.

Just be prepared that if you beat them or crush then no one will admit it’s the B team.

It actually is the C team. Tourney machine shows the black team which is C. The orange team is the B team

LOL. The B team will isn't playing any tournament this weekend. They play in NJ next.
Yes Black C team was the team that was better because of the 7 AA players that played with them. without them, they wouldn't beat their legitimate B team the orange.

If it was their C team I’d imagine they would put them in the group and switch them with Mooselax. Doesn’t say Express Black. They are just in the Black division
Like all teams at this level the difference is a good faceoff guy and goalie and a sniper does not hurt. Face off and goalie are so important. When a B team get's help from the A face off guy or A goalie the team plays like an A- vs a B. If they don't, run from that B team.
I heard Express coach telling a father from orange to turn around that he would be playing black the first 2 games along with others. I would assume they have an A team and 2 B/C teams. Lot's of cash for sure for owners.
91 parents are tough. I think that does not help you get games. The 91 dad with his son's back pack on(with his pretty face off stick and field stick) comes over and asks our players notIntelligent questions before the game.

Good question and I think it will be end up being the winners from each pool advancing with the top 4 2nd place team (based on tie breakers) doing a play-in. That makes it 8 for the playoff bracket. Good matchups in each pool, this one should be fun!

I guess your reading comprehension is a loner. It's the team in the 2026 bracket that says "Team 91". Troll on my friend.

91 clearly doesn’t have a 2026 team in the NAL as they are scared to go 0-3. The 2025s will be at NAL though.

It’s pretty simple. Machine is playing in the NAL. 91 orange storm doesn’t have enough kids to field a good team without them.

I like how you answer your own questions. No idea why you are so infatuated with this team? I guess we will see this weekend when they play with just their 2026 kids.

No chance its just their 2026 kids... they don't have enough players to field a decent team. You'll see all different kinds of helmets -- dark orange, metallic orange, maybe even some white ones if you're lucky.

"Invitational" means that you apply for your team to enter, they review the application, give you the OK to register and you're in. They basically vet the teams getting in. They don't "invite" the teams. SMH.

I have assisted in running tournaments. Invitational means the program is specifically invited to play in the tournament. It avoids having a program involved that doesn’t belong. It is definitely not receiving applications and “vetting” them.
Invitational is exactly what it means. Teams are invited by the organizers. The idea that applications are filled out and teams are vetted in nonsense.
Has anyone played at the Savich tract fields before? Are they Bermuda?
Laxachusetts is going to handle Express like the Bruins just handled the islanders.

The semantics are pointless as that still doesn’t mean 91 wasn’t invited. Given the NAL field is as stacked as any 24 team tourney we’ve ever seen at this age, it’s safe to assume they were invited and didn’t accept.

I think people here are arguing over pretty much the same thing here. Either they were invited and didn't accept because they know they can't compete with these teams or they weren't invited by the NAL because they know they aren't good. My guess would be they were invited but didn't accept.

No. They dominate the whole game, against an obviously inferior team, then score on a snipe in OT to win a game they deserved to win all along.

Funny seeing all the different colored helmets playing with the 91 team. Dark orange, shiny orange, dark blue (2025 team helmet), royal blue. Ridiculous what has become of that team

These posts about Laxachusetts coming to NY to dominate NLF are not aging well at all.
How you doin Laxachusetts?? Rough welcome back to competitive lacrosse I see.
Really? Laxachusetts went 1-2 on Saturday and definitely lost to Express 26. So much for all that nonsense!
Just wait, more re-classing, more hold backs to come. You could have saved the embarrassment by just coming to the tournament, be humble and play without boasting that you were. Going to smoke everyone. How did that work out for you!

Lost 2 games by a combined 3 goals, to the supposed 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 or whatever, missing our best middie and our stud attackman. With 3 practices under our belts. I see all that WSYL practices, year round practices and 5 or 6 tourneys already played, are paying off. See you in a couple of weekends.

What tournament are they in next?
Their best players won’t be down from the 2025’s until the next tournament. No one’s fault, but your own that you’ve only had three practices. Everyone else has been playing in some capacity since the fall.. if your 2026 team is that good, why are you not attending the World Series? Oh! I forgot, we can’t field a team of age! Stop the excuses and get over yourselves. No one cares!

Look at their schedule. Somehow they have the highest strength of schedule. The only ranked team they have played is ranked 40th, but somehow they are still #1? Look at Express, Hawks, Tigers, Sweetlax, even Express North and their schedules are full of games vs one another and lots of other top 20 teams.

I’m sure this team is amazing but the real test will be this weekend in a loaded NAL field. Whoever wins this weekend will be the 2026 #1.

True Blue looked strong at LILJ Spring Madness. They overcame FLG trying to raid their team since they did not enough players. FLG had to recruit Lindenhurst players so they could field a roster. Smart players will stay at True Blue.

I agree and surprised to see them doing so well. They will beat the B teams but there definitely not competing with A teams yet.

If it is like myhockeyrankings.com. you need a minimum of games, like 5, before you even show up on the list. On top of that, the list refreshes once a week, on Saturdays. So new games won't be reflected in the rankings until that weekly update. Games this past weekend, that show up, don't count until the whole thing is recalculated. 3d NE Red is the current #1 based on the data submitted. But there is a loss on their schedule that will show up in the rankings on Saturday. Whether it is enough to drop them, don't know. These ratings will change a lot initially then become more stable as more games are added into the alogrithm. Myhockeyrankings.com is the gold standard in youth and high school hockey. It is truly objective and is purely data driven. That is why colleges use data driven systems to determine rankings, like RPI, instead of subjective opinions of "so-called experts". If you don't like the results, win more games, with better differentials. Simple.

I am okay with the data drive approach but the guy running the rankings should have some basic math and data skills which, based on what I can tell, he is lacking. Maybe the MyhockeyRanking should take this over.

Myhockeyrankings is behind the new US Club lax rankings system. It is the same. They both use AGD and Sched. I have been told by US Club Lax that they partnered with the same folks running the hockey rankings site. The key to it all is that all the scores need to go in. They have to be approved and verified or else the system is useless. Submit your scores, evidence of game and it gets entered. Sometimes, as with myhockeyrankings, they have volunteers for regions or leagues, that comb leagues sites and tourney machine for games and scores. So they get entered on their own. But the scores need to be submitted. It is also for a seaon, ay September to August, then it resets. The old data gets tossed, along with all the old rankings and it starts fresh the next season with everyone 0-0-0.

It's exactly like it. Teams need 5 games to even be included. Maybe it's more for lacrosse. If a team loses by 10 to the "number 1 team", the most goal differential is 7. Losing to a number 1 team boosts your strength of schedule and even if you lose by "7 goals" that helps your ranking. Now if the same team loses to the number 100 team or beat the number 50 team by 1, then it will negatively affect their ranking. Then i subsequent weeks, everything that every opponent of yours that you played, does, affects your ranking. It is all intertwined. But scores need to go in. There will be a lot more scores going in now that summer tourney season has started.

And it's a heck of a lot better than some subjective ranking or biased one (NLF rankings). There is no subjective input. It is all objective. But scores need to be recorded. That is a fact. Another fact is that although there may be no perfect system, this is the best approach. In the end, this shouldn't determine anything and you crown championships on the field. But this will help allow tourneys to determine match ups, levels of competition, etc. And maybe some bragging rights but nothing more.

Congrats to TB. There were some great close/competitive games at LILJ.

I think all scores and game results have been loaded in. Clearly the ranking has an error in how the calculations were performed. Looking at the underlying games it is not possible that 3D is ranked 1.

If US Club Lacrosse rank system actually worked, after the best national tournaments this weekend the NLF the #1 team in nation Express before the new ranks should still also be the #1 team in the nation after an overtime win against the #2 ranked Tigers.& detest to say it but 91 Long Island and Laxachusetts with close losses to #1 and #2 should be ranked top 10 if not top 5. Maybe ice hockey system does not work in lacrosse unless they add ice to lacrosse games?
Laxachusetts will be ranked 7 or 8 on Saturday when the system updates. Also, you can play crappy teams and beat them by 10 but it will hurt your ranking. It based on a mathematical formula. Not "2 beat 1 so 2 should be 1"
The MyHockeyRankings uses a stochastic model that runs a thousand path algorithm and it puts out pretty good results. You can use the rating information to see how many goals a team would beat other team by. I have found it pretty accurate. For example a team with a 90 rating playing a team with a 88 rating you would expect the 90 team to win by two goals. If 90 team won by 3 goals then most likely the team’s rating would improve slightly. As the season goes on the fluctuations in rankings minimizes since new games have have less and less impact on the overall rankings/ average. The MyHockeyRanking runs a new calc every week, his data is not always pristine but I think there is any army of volunteers who enter data across country and keep it up to date. Hockey teams play more games than Lacrosse (40-60 games) in a season which makes for better input data. MyHockeyRatings also publishes the calculations for the last ten games for transparency purposes. Nobody questions his methodology. As for the US Club Lax it is not clear what he is doing.
We'll see what happens this Saturday...it could play out just like that where LI Express is the new #1. And 3d could drop. You're right...that's how it works.
OK, then how does this explain the current #1? Win over #40, the rest of the wins over non ranked teams.[/quote]

Sounds like the NLF Rankings have more analysis and much more reliable.
what happened to laxachusetts? obviously from the looks of it their guys from a couple of years ago stopped growing (they are 16 afterall) and are not as fast as they used to be. glad they took advantage of the opportunity when they had it a couple years ago

You do realize it is "NLF" rankings..so obviously no bias there. Also, those "rankings" haven't moved in 3 weeks. Also, look at their top 10 or 20...see which you think makes more sense. They have Team 91 at #4...lol. Huh? BBL at #6 at 8-8? 3d NE red at #20 even though they beat #9 Laxachusetts 3 times? LI Express at #5? Oh yeah...much more analysis and more reliable...SMH
Express Dad here & these are the real rankings. Top 15. We played everyone since March. Tie Express/Tigers/Hawks at #1, Sweetlax, Crabs, Laxachusettes, Team 91, Blackops, Madlax, Express North, Bethesda, Primetime, True Annapolis, BBL, Looneys.

They had a few boys graduate HS and move on the college.
True Blue has become a strong program despite FLG raiding its roster. FLG also needed an Outlaw player to win the first day and a load of Lindenhurst players.

You seem to know a lot about the statistics used. How is Strength of Schedule used by US Club Lacrosse? In hockey all teams play on ice, some indoors and maybe some outdoors. In lacrosse, teams play on artificial turf outdoors, grass, and indoor facilities. Some grass fields are meticulously manicured lawns, some are just open fields that may or may not have been mowed lately. How does US Lacrosse account for where the games are played? Or do they just account for who the game was played against?

Stop...both teams play on the same field, the better team typically wins. Who cares where anyone is ranked? The club season just started, let's talk after the WS, then after July.
FAQ: What does each of the columns on the ratings page mean?

“Record" is represented by wins-losses-ties. "AGD", or average goal differential, and "SCHED", or strength of schedule, are the two main factors in the algorithm. AGD is currently calculated by accumulating the goal differential of each game, to a maximum of 10, and dividing it by the number of games played. SCHED is computed by adding the average rating of each game opponent (OPP) and sportsmanship differential (SD). AGD and SCHED are then added together to compute a team's overall performance rating. More information on an individual team’s AGD and SCHED can be found by clicking the “Rating Math” tab on their team info page once the rankings have been turned live.

Exxxxactly. Typically when a team pops up and becomes good it's the sad daddy's of the 25 kids who couldn't make it in 25 and reclass and then all of a sudden they are good. See Baltimore Crabs for example. Couldn't win a game and then they held 8 kids back. All for the lax glory of dad who never had it and wants it so bad he'll get it by making his son repeat a year of school!
This is a big reclass year and the summer will certainly be interesting. Outside of the WS which is on age, many legit 26 teams will see a heavy dose of 25s and even some 24s reclassed into 26. It is what it is, but there is a big difference at this age group when those older kids play down. You'll see it at the NA this weekend for the teams that are not WS bound and even some of them may bring 25s to balance out the rosters. Either way, awesome lineup of ranked teams ready to play!

Same old nonsense from the LI crowd. Last I checked, most club tourneys are grade based, not age based. Only one that I know of...WSYL. So if I'm not mistaken, nobody is doing anything wrong. Either you beat'em or you join'em. It just that the coaching and stick skill advantage the LI kids have by being born with a stick in their hands, disappears as they get older and athleticism takes over. And believe it or not, it happens in LI also. Wasn't Spallina born in 2003? He's graduating in 2022. By my calculation, that would a kid born in 2007 graduating in 2026. So give me a break with the whining. It is what it is. MD, VA, CT, MA kids are getting more of their multi sport athletes involved in lacrosse and you are seeing the results. LI doesn't have a monopoly on the sport like the old days. I'll take a good big player over a good little player anyday.

Much more annoying when teams play a kid or kids down for a one off tourney like NAL than holdbacks in general. Even on age guest players shouldn't be allowed for a tourney this stacked. Man up, bring your kids you've always had, and find our who is best on the field.
Anyone know if the felds at Savich drain well?

Correct me if I’m wrong.., but, does MD kids start Kindergarten at 6 yrs. old instead of 5? Can get another year there too

That's fair vs a true holdback, but I don't buy it against other states that use August or September as cut off date.

Spallina wasn't younger. And I'm guessing many more are not. It's just a narrative that LI folks like to perpetuate. #dellusional
There are holdbacks as well on LI. I just don't think as many as they have on the MD teams? Maybe it’s harder to get your kid held back in the public schools on LI, unless you are in private. I think MD mastered the holdback scenario. Definitely is a huge advantage for development. Not even the size issue. It’s the extra two years of skills development and IQ for the game. Size too. But eventually that catches Up. One or Two extra years of playing is a huge advantage and hard to catch up with.

Why are you talking about Spallina on a 2026 thread? No one cares. 2026 LI Express kids are all on age. Talk about that on the 2026 thread.

How do 24's reclass into 26? That goes beyond pushing the envelope.

Haha, travel lacrosse bro sounds like he should stick to soccer. He probably just learned the word "hence" and is now embarrassed he drives his kid an hour to play on a B team because he thought that was travel lax.
Tommyknockers + NAL = LOL
TommyKnockers hittin it hard at NAL
Not that hard for a 24 to become a 26 in PA, and end up 2 years older than teammates. Or more likely, on opposing teams b/c it’s rampant in some clubs less than others. Reclassing is getting out of hand. All these “new” 8th graders show up at tryouts.

It’s not uncommon for kids (mostly boys) w/ summer, even spring, birthdays, to be given “the gift of time.” People say any kid would benefit because “kindergarten is the new first grade.” Most parents don’t do it b/c of sports. But a potential advantage in sports is definitely a factor for a lot of parents who decide their 5 year old should wait until they’re 6 to start public (or private) school. It’s allowed, without question. Of course, it involves paying for another year of preschool/daycare. Some private schools already have a later cutoff to start K - like 12/1 instead of 8/31.

Fast forward to middle school & that “redshirted” kindergartner is good at lacrosse & looks like they have potential to get even better. (Could also be football, but never soccer b/c it’s strictly age based). They switch from public to private during middle school for an extra year before high school. I’ve seen a few boys who actually are already among the best on the field reclass. Sometimes it’s private to private, and I’ve seen it from private, to a repeat in public or a low quality parochial school, and back to another private. There will be an increase because the pandemic & shoddy virtual/hybrid school sounds as legitimate as it gets for reasons to repeat a grade. It’s a PA law for this year that a parent can choose to hold a kid back this year, regardless of what their public school recommends!

And that’s how you get a double reclass, aka a 15 year old guarding your 13 year old.

Well said. Guess we won't be seeing many wide open triple behind the back passes on their Instagram from this tournament. Kids on the east coast actually play defense and our goalies don't flail and duck shots. Goes to show what a joke the US Club Championship is!
Hawks best player (big lefty middie) left the team after last weekend. They are definitely not the same team without him. Express v. Hawks final as expected.

10-8. Tourney machine has it wrong. 10-7 before Express scored man up in the final seconds. Great teams. Great game.

I heard he went to Dukes, but have to assume that's temporary as they are a lower tier squad these days.
They were having fun. Their day was done and what else were they supposed to do? They were kids being kids, there really something wrong with that?? One thing I did notice about them was how KIND and POLITE they were, more kids should be like that.

He played for Dukes/4H before so he went back to his original club

I would have called him their second best player with the other bug middie/attack/FO guy as their best.

Both are great players, but the lefty was a much more natural athlete and significantly faster when I've seen them play. The bigger middie/attack is more like a robot.
Did I read that correctly? Towermen beat the haughty Sweetlax...sheesh
And they lost in OT to the hawks in the semis
They need some new attackmen
Wait the almighty Express 2026 A team lost!
Hey did anyone see Team 91 2026's at the NAL this weekend? Looks like they missed a really good tournament and a chance to preview the WSYL competition! Must have been tearing up some local B Tournament that they were running...Oh well....

Yes, that happens in sports and the team can only get competitive games from teams not on LI. Doesn’t mean they are a super team, it means the other LI clubs are likely doing a sub par job developing this age at there club.

I thought they looked pretty good. Clearly not up to par with some of the better teams at the tournament but still solid. If you were on the parent sideline and did not know they were form Colorado you would have thought it was a Long Island based team.

We will see more truth at WSYL.
TommyKnockers obviously over rated
Lost to the same Jersey Express team twice.
Towermen will be ranked close to top 10 when the rankings update. Proved some haters wrong.

I am sure that it doesnt help that they dont play much competition out West and then come play the battle tested teams from the East and North.
Or it means that the other teams develop kids and the Express Marketing machine takes the developed players every year from other teams. that's really more how it goes. lets be honest.

Lol, “takes” not really. People leave teams based on winning. So takes is not accurate. How about other clubs work to retain.
Is this correct for this past weekends top 8?

1. Hawks
2. Express Chuck
3. Towermen
4.Tigers
5.Sweetlax
6.Madlax
7.Primetime
8. Igloo

8. Igloo

Yes, top two for sure and after that it's essentially ties:
3/4 tie (I think Towerman would have beaten Tigers)
5/6 tie (Sweetlax for sure over Madlax)
7/8 tie (probably say Igloo at 7 and Primetime at 8 for this weekend)

Towermen played well and looked good but it’s unlikely that’s the team heading to the WS. Since they didn’t qualify originally, I suspect there are several holdbacks on that team that will not be at the WS. If that’s the team their taking, then they’ll be highly competitive. Anything can happen on any given day… Igloos also took the hawks to OT and they were terrible. Sweetlax destroyed them in a meaningless consolation game.
Most teams at NAL probably had a few hold backs who aren’t going to WSYL, no?

It’s foolish to think that there weren’t holdbacks at the NAL but it doesn’t matter since that’s what will happen all summer. Only WS will be on age and that will crown the best on age team… period. Good luck to all the participants.

We spoke to other parents. They admit the kids are on grade but older because of age cut offs. Never going to change until US Lacrosse goes to an on age format.

Wishful thinking Express Dad!

Express played great. I'd say this was from a team that didn't win as much as they thought they would.[/

We spoke to other parents. They admit the kids are on grade but older because of age cut offs. Never going to change until US Lacrosse goes to an on age format.

I detest the holdback talk on here, but don't the majority of states use Sept 1, or Oct 1 while NY uses Dec 1? What's the big deal? A true holdback is one thing, but are you complaining about September and October babies ???

Honestly, the majority of holdbacks are not September and/October babies that just miss the cutoff. Either way, the rules allow it and the kids have to play regardless. There can be huge differences in physical maturity at this level, but it will eventually even out. The kids gotta keep working and the most skilled players will win out in the long run. It's also why the interest in the WS is typically high because it tests the kids vs. their "on age" peers. It may only be 1 tournament, but it's an event that clearly separates the best 13U team from everyone else.

Yes, top two for sure and after that it's essentially ties:
3/4 tie (I think Towerman would have beaten Tigers)
5/6 tie (Sweetlax for sure over Madlax)
7/8 tie (probably say Igloo at 7 and Primetime at 8 for this weekend)

So Obsessed with 13 yr old lacrosse . WHY ?

You must not understand competitive sports. Some people like to know who the best teams are or maybe how well their sons team is doing in relation to the rest of the pack.

Crickets

Lost 2 games by a combined 3 goals, to the supposed 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 or whatever, missing our best middie and our stud attackman. With 3 practices under our belts. I see all that WSYL practices, year round practices and 5 or 6 tourneys already played, are paying off. See you in a couple of weekends.

Tough draw on Saturday for Laxachusetts. Good luck.
Let the shenanigans begin! The tournament is tainted from the top down. Not a difficult process creating the brackets. It’s very simple. Top down based on rankings. Guessing brackets will change several more times before the event. The whining and jockeying for position has started! Stay tuned!

I know i played college soccer and my son is 2026 Lax player . Give 2/3 years and it will be totally different. Most kids haven’t it puberty yet or start working out with weights . Relax on the rankings and enjoy the time now . No one giving $5k scholarships yet .

Being as objective as possible:

3. Towerman/Tigers
5. Sweetlax/Madlax
7. All the teams that went 2-1 in pool play: Primetime, Igloo, Jersey Express, Crabs, PA Roughriders

It remains to be seen if the Towermen that played at the NAL, are the same team that shows up at the WS. Remember, they didn’t actually qualify but got an invite after another team dropped out. It’s quite possible they'll have players missing from this past weekend. Strong lineup all across the board.
What happened to BBL? They used to be a top 2026 team a few years ago, no?

Many teams at WS will be missing some players from NAL. Tigers I know for sure have a couple players they brought on recently and play on and off for them but are needed at WS.
I like how the parents “admit” the kid’s ages. Just stop. It’s not a trial. It’s a game. Who starts a friendly conversation asking if players are over age? Sounds like B S. Because it is.

Towerman roster already locked in for WS. New players are holdbacks.
You’re nuckin futz about holdbacks!
Were you left back a few grades ?
Hope you went D1. Driving your team to your middle school games must have been cool.

Interesting the NAL victory wasn't enough to move the Hawks up...feels like goal differential is given too much weight in this formula.

We all know who the #1 team in the Country and that was proven on Sunday.

BBL and Team 91 are not even close to a top 10 team right now.

Blackops eliminated the Towermen in the east qualifier with Madlax, both should be ranked higher, Towermen beat Sweetlax this weekend so they should be ranked better.

Yes they will
Hawks #1
Looks like 3d Red over Towermen 6-5 in semis and 10-5 over BBL Elite for the 2926 championship. Maybe they should be there.
It appears that 3d Red just beat Towermen in semis 6-5 and BBL Elite 10-5 in final. Maybe they should be there.

You're the only person that cares about that team.
You know the rankings are flawed if 3D Red moves up the rankings. The only competition they faced was Laxachusetts Black and their schedule reflects it. Playing your local tournaments against weak competition doesn’t prove much. Just the New England version of Team 91. Plenty quality tournaments played over the past several months with strong quality competition and 3D Red was no where to be found. Can’t wait to hear the excuses. Assuming to many hold backs to make it to the WSYL. Good teams want to play good teams. That’s how the get better!
Where is Laxachusetts Dad? 3D NE now the best in your area huh? Both filled with rising 9th graders repeating 8th grade. Laxachusetts not even the best in its own state! Funny stuff. Will 3D NE be in NLF?

3d Red over Towermen 6-5
3d Red over BBL Black 10-5

But thanks for the rant, you innocent.

They will surprise if the opportunity comes where they play Express, Hawks, Tigers or Sweetlax. They have the talent to knock off those teams.

👆 Only 2 losses, both to the 8th ranked team. No other games really close.

I would say that playing Laxachusetts black 5 times is serious competition. And going 6-0 at Millon with wins over Towermen and BBL Black was not a fluke. They are definitely a top 10 team.

Typical holdback scenario with 3D and that's the reason they weren't at the qualifier and that's the same reason Laxachusetts wasn't there. Either way, these teams (and others with holdbacks) will likely have some physical advantages throughout the summer against actual on-age teams. That's what is appealing about the WS... to find the best on-age team... period.

Exactly. If you don't think for one second people don't realize there are 4-5 legitimate teams that play WSYL and also compete at all other events, you're crazy. 3D's True's, Tommyknockers, Laxachusetts, Crabs, when they pop up and are good and don't show at on age tournaments, everyone realizes they are a sham grabbing whatever they can to try and get W's! They are as good as the holdbacks they have available that day. There's a huge difference between them and a few other teams.

Played Laxachusetts 5 times and going 3-2 vs them while they shouldn't be a top 10 team doesnt make 3D Red a top 10 team. Towermen win is good, but BBL not so much. Will they be playing at NLF with the rest of the top teams?

You realize there is one on age tournament. Why don't you try living in the real world and adjust accordingly? Or take your lumps and stop whining because "it is what it is". Until they change the system, you play by those rules. If you don't like it, play soccer
Towermen Dad?
Look back in this thread, a few weeks back the Towermen were not worthy. How the target changes. Lol
They will be bashing 91 next………

Typical holdback scenario with 3D and that's the reason they weren't at the qualifier and that's the same reason Laxachusetts wasn't there. Either way, these teams (and others with holdbacks) will likely have some physical advantages throughout the summer against actual on-age teams. That's what is appealing about the WS... to find the best on-age team... period.

Exactly. If you don't think for one second people don't realize there are 4-5 legitimate teams that play WSYL and also compete at all other events, you're crazy. 3D's True's, Tommyknockers, Laxachusetts, Crabs, when they pop up and are good and don't show at on age tournaments, everyone realizes they are a sham grabbing whatever they can to try and get W's! They are as good as the holdbacks they have available that day. There's a huge difference between them and a few other teams.

You realize there is one on age tournament. Why don't you try living in the real world and adjust accordingly? Or take your lumps and stop whining because "it is what it is". Until they change the system, you play by those rules. If you don't like it, play soccer

Exactly...and you see who is there and who isn't. Thanks for coming out.
Even with their hold backs, Laxachussetts Black went 2-2 at the NLF Summer Kickoff with their only two wins coming from barely beating Leading Edge twice. Still doesn't say much for 3D Red's schedule and competition. On age teams thrive on competition and especially when they are beating teams with multiple hold backs. Just find it entertaining listening to all these hold back teams pounding BOC on how great they are. Say less, play more and prove it on the field and remember that anyone can be beaten on any given day....Just be there to support your team and let the boy's pay....

That may be so, but most of the talk on BOTC as far as rankings and reality is that the teams discussed on here that are relevant are the on age teams. Not national teams with mostly holdbacks.

Reality is that most, if not all, of the country does it one way and LI does it another. The rules are the rules until hey change them. And we all know that holdbacks happen on LI, just not at 7th and 8th, but it is the norm. Bottom line is that other than LI Express, there isn’t another LI program that can crack the top 20. Can t keep comparing about the same thing over and over again. Gets old.

What's old is the defense that age difference and holdbacks don't play a factor in wins if a handful of kids are 6-12 months older than the bulk of their competition. Well known that it's a fact of life in lacrosse but it needs to be called accurately.
Because with holdbacks a team is really a 2026/2025 team and that makes a big difference. A 7th/8th grade team age wise comapared to a 7th grade team. Big difference and not equal.

So when the college recruits the holdback are you going to complain to college that it is not fair? Only way to beat the system is to holdback or maybe even double holdback.

So you want puberty instead of grade or age as the cutoff for players? I detest to break it to you but there’s a multi-year range of when boys go through puberty.

Keep playing you're kid down if that what makes you feel good.
Good heavens, give it a rest already with about holdbacks. Both sides bs has been noted. You all sound like women just repeating themselves over and over and over. .

Lets talk about lacroase and whos doing what on the field.

Go LI Express!

When Towerman changed over to the Trilogy tourney (from Brawl on the Hill), it was agreed upon there would not be a championship game if Towerman vs. Tigers was the final.

When Towerman changed over to the Trilogy tourney (from Brawl on the Hill), it was agreed upon there would not be a championship game if Towerman vs. Tigers was the final.

This is correct
Not complaing. I am just waiting to compare teams when 2026 are in Freshmen/Sophmore years when age is irrelavant. My child is not on a top 50 team. When you see player on Team Carolina that my son says #XX had mens legs. They were BIG. Especially bad when a goally gets hurt on a missle from an 8th grader in 2026 game.
When Towerman changed over to the Trilogy tourney (from Brawl on the Hill), it was agreed upon there would not be a championship game if Towerman vs. Tigers was the final. //Quote

Very strange agreement. What were the programs afraid of? You play the game and one team wins and the other losses. That is called competing. Agreeing not to play prior to play begins is darn strange.

I don't know if this is relevant, but given the line-up for 2026 at that event, a Towermen/Tigers final was a virtual guarantee.

Towermen play the Tigers in the WSYL this week, same bracket. They didn't want to play against each other knowing they were playing a few days later.

Towermen will win. It’s their time. Tigers team is not the same that showed up at NAL, the WS version is weaker.
Seems ridiculous to not finish the tournament. Win or lose, just let the kids play the game. For all the parents who always said the World Series is a money grab and not worth playing, etc., it sure seems awfully important these days.
Prime Time Invitational schedule it out. Looks like a good bunch of teams.

Just my opinion but I think there will be a lot of movement this once the World Series is over. The top kids will stay. But I could see the bottom half of these rosters looking to go somewhere else to get some playing time.

A few teams in need a turnaround... ie, 91, Legacy. Outlaws folded so those kids will be looking for a new home...although its rumored you'll see a bunch of them go to Mooselax. Plenty of kids on bloated rosters will be looking to leave for more time.
What happen to LEGACY new coach and dont do well in tournaments . They need to step down a level .
Tigers looked like clowns at the opening ceremony of WSYL. Kids wearing wigs and garbage. I get having fun but try looking respectable like the 47 other teams. And how does Hawks get front and center at the ceremony
Not an Express dad, truly I’m not. They will win the WSYL. Played them enough times to know this…

If my son was looking for a new team he definitely would not be looking at 91,Legacy or the Outlaws, these teams have been on a downslope for the past two years. If you are looking for good COACHING I would be looking at Express, Mooselax, Turtles and Li Lax club.

After their last tournament. Pretty sure this is their last year as an organization.
Anyone know where you can see the bracket for the World Series?
Good Job Hawks you already lost, take your sorry jerks back off this forum, stop without your 20 year olds, you are just not good. So funny.
You can see all the games on the WSYL app.

Organization folding. Only had 2 teams. Didn’t do much to save the organization after the split.

Definitely NOT the turtles. The team isn’t good and the coach makes every offensive play go through his kid. Several parents are moving on from that team.

Says the dad who’s son has been on three different teams in the past year. Just saying
Long Island LC does open play tryouts each Monday in the summertime at 630PM at their Field at 325 Main St. in Port.

Igloo Tryouts are July 20, 21st.

Express July 26, 27, 28

Mooselax July 28 and 29.

Nice try but you have t he wrong person. You must be the coach that never takes his overrated son off the field. The team has lost to C teams. Not even competitive at the B level. Hence why there will be an exodus this year.

Who are the hawks?
As predicted the Hawks would be knocked off because they can only compete with the top teams when they use older players. Very predicted that Sweetlax, LI Express and the Tigers would be in the final four. I wish all 4 teams much luck.
Hawks should be allowed to use the older players. They play with them all season so its really not fair to their team to exclude their older guys. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sweetlax and Express are legit on age teams. Tigers are a combo of new faces and false birth certificates.
Let’s talk about the Express mom who talked trash to the Iroquois National team. Classy. Kudos to the Iroquois for leaving and the Beserkers for standing with them

Talking smack about a 13 year old kid and a team that has never lost the Rebels and only lost to Express B once is pretty low class. Better check your facts

A few teams in need a turnaround... ie, 91, Legacy. Outlaws folded so those kids will be looking for a new home...although its rumored you'll see a bunch of them go to Mooselax. Plenty of kids on bloated rosters will be looking to leave for more time.

If my son was looking for a new team he definitely would not be looking at 91,Legacy or the Outlaws, these teams have been on a downslope for the past two years. If you are looking for good COACHING I would be looking at Express, Mooselax, Turtles and Li Lax club.

Definitely NOT the turtles. The team isn’t good and the coach makes every offensive play go through his kid. Several parents are moving on from that team.

Says the dad who’s son has been on three different teams in the past year. Just saying

Nice try but you have t he wrong person. You must be the coach that never takes his overrated son off the field. The team has lost to C teams. Not even competitive at the B level. Hence why there will be an exodus this year.

OUCH. Thats gotta hurt....And of course true !

Talking smack about a 13 year old kid and a team that has never lost the Rebels and only lost to Express B once is pretty low class. Better check your facts

I don't see anything about the rebels mentioned but I see the turtles have lost to Moose, express C (black is the C team) & true blue. The team is terrible and about to get worse if there really is the exodus that was mentioned.

Guess you didn’t notice while stalking them, that three of the top players have been injured the entire season. See you in the fall.
The black c team usually has a better record than orange b team. Not much of a difference there. Black beat the turtles. I don’t think orange ever has.

So who won today?
Score?

The holdbacks seemed to be with the team and none of them looked older than 13/14. They were not in jerseys but present. I was surprised by them. The ones I thought were their holdbacks weren’t. Their goalie was one of the one I assumed would be one. Plus the big middie. Maybe it’s not the holdbacks that was the struggle for them, but the team as a whole this week. Just a thought. The 4 I saw didn’t look like they would have been the big difference, if you are talking size, in the loss to Express 2 weeks ago. Speaking of express, what happened with Iroquois?

Assuming to many hold backs to make it to the WSYL. Good teams want to play good teams. That’s how the get better!

I would say that playing Laxachusetts black 5 times is serious competition. And going 6-0 at Millon with wins over Towermen and BBL Black was not a fluke. They are definitely a top 10 team.

Where were they for the WSYL qualifiers?

Typical holdback scenario with 3D and that's the reason they weren't at the qualifier and that's the same reason Laxachusetts wasn't there. Either way, these teams (and others with holdbacks) will likely have some physical advantages throughout the summer against actual on-age teams. That's what is appealing about the WS... to find the best on-age team... period.

Exactly. If you don't think for one second people don't realize there are 4-5 legitimate teams that play WSYL and also compete at all other events, you're crazy. 3D's True's, Tommyknockers, Laxachusetts, Crabs, when they pop up and are good and don't show at on age tournaments, everyone realizes they are a sham grabbing whatever they can to try and get W's! They are as good as the holdbacks they have available that day. There's a huge difference between them and a few other teams.

BBL beat 3D last weekend at Brawl & great WS showing. On age can work as a team.

Where was laxachusetts for the world series ?
This ends the conversation. I would like all Boston, Maryland Upstate Etc,, to just get off this forum. Once again on age we see that the Long Island Talent is the best around every year, year in and year out. That includes the A and B teams, so leave the discussion to Long Island, their B teams crush any other areas teams that are around, there are just much better players of age in Long Island then anywhere else in the country. Express and some of the larger orgs 91, etc, they are the flavor because they were their first so all talent that is developed on the other teams filters its way to them. But the body as a whole Long Island just has better lacrosse then anywhere in the country. Hands down, mic drop.

This is a silly post and shows why everyone feels the way they do about New Yorkers (especially Long Islanders). There is no correlation between total talent and WSYL wins. What is obvious is that New York is the only state that takes WSYL seriously. Maryland and DC kids spread out across FAR more teams than LINY where 91 and Express are the only real viable options for top level players. If there was a REAL team NY and team MD my guess is they would split wins across the age groups from year to year and all would be extremely competitive. But if it helps their confidence, keep telling all the Joeys, Anthonys, and Paulies that they are the best.
2025 91 won the World Series with a kid from Texas. He was the MVP. Little league World Series is more real than lacrosse. Texas!

Long Island kids play well because they start early and their parents invest in the sport. They are not superior or more talented athletes. There are a lot of parents on LI who played lacrosse at a high level. They introduce their kids at a young age and impart their passion for the sport to their children. The kids play a lot. Does that correlate with better outcomes? Most likely. But there is nothing in the Long Island water that helps produce “more talent”.

There are, however, a ton of travel teams on LI.

LOL this am i guess it did. it just seems like everytime i check this site, I see posts like "look out for towermen" or "towermen are gonna do this or do that" and it certainly isnt the kids doing it. The towermen are a heck of a good team, but the insecure parents dont have to come on here and tell everyone all the time. ---especially after mediocre outcomes in major tourneys

Sweetlax has been so close in many games against Express and will beat them soon, Tiger beat Express by a lot in March and should have at NLF a month ago, and Hawks beat them at NAL, so it is great that all the tournaments are very close and ranks will change based on the latest tournament. Right now it is Express, Tigers, Sweetlax, VLC, Hawks. Whose is at the NLF tournament coming up?
Will the 2 Connecticut kids still play with express or were they just for the WSYL?
2026 mvp is from Connecticut. ☹️

Maybe you just shouldn’t care so much about a team your kid doesn’t play for or what their parents say. That might help you relax.

Classic keyboard warrior response lol. LIE has beaten Sweetlax multiple times and the games are generally some of the most competitive games you’ll see at this age bracket. Either way, LIE has proven to be the best “on age” team by winning the WS. Sweetlax came up short, but has beaten virtually everyone else they’ve played, including the tigers. I’m sure many of the top teams will come to the NLF with their assortment of holdbacks, but this tournament clearly showed who the top “on age” teams are. Congrats to all the kids that left it all on the field at the WS… truly inspiring.
Did I see a Rebels team at the WSYL this weekend?? 2026 or 2025? Was it the LI team?

And that’s why the MVP was from Connecticut?
Rebels are a Long Island based team.
It was their 2025 team who were at WSYL

Ok thanks. I am aware they are from LI. I didn't see them on the wesite for a U14 qualifier but saw a Rebels Jersey in pics.
That explains it. Thx
Lame that infomercial Jake and the wsyl didn't acknowledge the 2 all world teams awarded at half time. Pretty sure I heard Jake say, " be sure to tune in on the 4th to watch the game. Other parts of the tournament will be highlighted as well"

No, it’s not true. The “kid from Texas” is a kid who has lived on LI and played with 91 for years. His family relocated to Tx a few months ago, but since he was on the 2020 roster to go to the WSYLAX and that event was canceled he was able to continue to play with 91 for this year’s event.

The broadcast was too full of don't quit shake ads and five below plugs

Sorry your son wasn’t honored more publicly. It was a bs political team filled with coaches’ sons anyway.
WSYL proved the Hawks are a second rate program who are nothing without there holdbacks. They steamroll everyone during the regular tournament play but then get exposed when the tournaments are age appropriate.
Serious question, Express LI has three kids not from Long Island (one who won the MVP of the WSYL) is that any better than the Hawks playing with holdbacks?
And the 25 Team91 mvp is from TX.

He’s from LI, part of the 91 team for years. His family had to move to Tx a few months ago and he was able to continue to play with his team this year for the WSYLAX because he was on the roster and supposed to go to the WSYLAX with them last year before it got canceled.

No. I would say it's on par with holdbacks. They don't belong on the team.
He has been there for almost two years not a few months.

Not the same… you simply need to be within 100 miles of the clubs home base according to the WS rules. Many CT cities fall within that guidance. holdbacks dominate lacrosse and is a bigger deal around this age group because if the physical differences. This fades out at the older levels when kids catch up physically, but definitely an advantage through tenth grade for majority of players.

The minute he moved to Texas he was outside the 100 mile rule so ineligible to play.
Folks the WSYL is officially over the best team on that given weekend has won. Congrats to Li Express!

Hawks are very bitter. They were certain to make the championship. The Hawks are out for some revenge. Watch out!

Agreed that holdback comparison is not the same.

Also agree that more WSYL hurdles and enforcement is needed to prevent the formation of super teams.

the point is not that express won the World Series, the point is there has never been a team other then a Long Island team to win the World Series. I dont agree with the poster who talks about all the talent going to 91 and express, we know that. I am talking about Long Island Lacrosse so all the way down the line if you take the top 20 teams from Long Island against the top 20 teams from any area, Long Island will have the strongest pool of teams. and of course if the talent goes to the top Long Island Still has the strongest there, albeit closer because you are moving it up to just a few teams, No region can produces as many decent teams and talent pool. Period.
Reverse snowbird. He resides in LI all summer.
Kudos to WSYL for doing it on age and verifying. Wish more tournaments do this. It is a joke that when I go to my 2027 soms tournaments and he is 5'2 which is in rhe 80th percentile in height and a few teammates 2 or 3 inches taller which are 90-100th percentile for 12...then we show up and these tournaments largely fron out of state schools and with a straight face they say their nearly 6 footer is 12?!? Not only do they have 1 bjt probably 4-6 on the team! Yea right. Joke

Second rate is just a notIntelligent adjective for the Hawks as an organization. Try again
Whats with the Express mom who spewed derogatory comments towards Native Americans. It's all over Twitter. This is absolutely disgusting The kid should be kicked off the team. Very very bad!

Don't believe everything you read on social media. There's always multiple sides to every story, Unfortunately, what's being spewed doesn't seem to be what actually happened.

I should know better than to address this with any sense of intelligence but this statement is so off base that I can't help myself. There are over 3 million people on an island that stretches about 120 miles. If you include Brooklyn and Queens, along with the close proximity to CT, the pool to draw top players is enormous. Hence, this is why there are so many club teams on the island. There are not many other states in the country that could get that many club teams within that distance to practice regularly, which is needed to develop and compete at a high level. Yes, there are some awesome club teams on the island, along with many inferior teams that struggle to compete at the elite level. A little perspective and some basic math would tell you that you have a sheer numbers advantage to draw players.

Agreed. I'm an express parent, and that's a poor choice of words. My son enjoys hanging out with those Hawks players. Surprise, most of these teams would enjoy hanging out with the other teams.

How did the Express FOGO not get on either all world team? No, I'm not his dad, but I'm a FO dad.
Linda like either way she is not a nice person. You come in late and you don’t say we are Express leave. Get your fat butt up and ask dining room staff to sort this out. You are trash is inexcusable even if you are drunk.

Very sad for the sport that a team felt so insulted and unwanted that they had to leave the event due to discrimination white privileged comment. When will Karen step up and apologize??

LIE fogo was the most dominant player in the tournament at any position and owned the legit Sweetlax fogo (1st team) in the semi final game. He's all world every day he steps on the field.

It appears the selection for all world team has some political bent to it. Totally agree the LI FOGO should have been on it. No way would LI have won so easily without him. I suspect that each team was allotted a certain amount of slots based on how the team performed. So top 5 teams clearly have more then others.

I understand that short players can dominate. I also understand that tall players aren't automatically older. Some people can't figure that out

No. I would say it's on par with holdbacks. They don't belong on the team.

Not the same… you simply need to be within 100 miles of the clubs home base according to the WS rules. Many CT cities fall within that guidance. holdbacks dominate lacrosse and is a bigger deal around this age group because if the physical differences. This fades out at the older levels when kids catch up physically, but definitely an advantage through tenth grade for majority of players.

They get this approved.

She never apologized, and her photo is all over Twitter. Everyone knows who she is and will be pointing her out if she shows up at any games. It's a real shame she did not take responsibility for her actions.

That includes the A and B teams, so leave the discussion to Long Island, their B teams crush any other areas teams that are around, there are just much better players of age in Long Island then anywhere else in the country. Express and some of the larger orgs 91, etc, they are the flavor because they were their first so all talent that is developed on the other teams filters its way to them. But the body as a whole Long Island just has better lacrosse then anywhere in the country. Hands down, mic drop.

Beat Sweetlax by one. Let's not crown the island as the greatest because of one tournament

Sweetlax has been so close in many games against Express and will beat them soon, Tiger beat Express by a lot in March and should have at NLF a month ago, and Hawks beat them at NAL, so it is great that all the tournaments are very close and ranks will change based on the latest tournament. Right now it is Express, Tigers, Sweetlax, VLC, Hawks. Whose is at the NLF tournament coming up?

Says the same guy who wrote: You heard it here first…an upstate team will win the WSYL tournament this year.


Please let the smack talk and excuses stop. It’s very sad.

SL played very well and Top 3 for sure.

Don't believe everything you read on social media. There's always multiple sides to every story, Unfortunately, what's being spewed doesn't seem to be what actually happened.

Not to this one! What a complete piece of entitled trash. Shame on her and to the event for standing for this. Horrible!

Was this fixed?

She never apologized, and her photo is all over Twitter. Everyone knows who she is and will be pointing her out if she shows up at any games. It's a real shame she did not take responsibility for her actions.

Everyone knows what she looks like, or who she is?

Still not a good look for Express regardless of the age group

Not only do they have 1 bjt probably 4-6 on the team! Yea right. Joke

Did you go to the WS? I'm guessing not. They're were plenty of U13 kids over 6ft. My son included. 6ft doesn't mean older than a short kid

Also, tall does not equal better. Some of the most dominant players in the game are 5’9”
Exactly. The people that complain that tall kids are older must have shorter, less skilled kids

And one of best players was 5. 2 maybe

I understand that short players can dominate. I also understand that tall players aren't automatically older. Some people can't figure that out

Sweetlax for example has players of all sizes, move the ball. Size isn't an issue as the yare all over size chart.

The game between Express and Sweetlax in the semis was awesome. Both teams played well and it was fun to watch. This is what it is all about. Congrats to both teams on a great showing.
Couple observations from final. Express is amazingly coached. IQ off the charts for 13 y/o. Kudos to coaches and program. Fogo is the man, no doubt about that. They had possession 75/25 at a minimum. Question, how do they play the same 2 middies on literally every possession? All for playing to win but w 24 players, where are the others?

check the stats-- express spread the ball around all wsyl. tigers rely on the big guy and once he draws the d a couple other kids can score.
How many more kids do you think will show up to Express try-outs now?

Agree….I think 7 players accounted for 9 goals

Sure the bottom 5 kids on the WSYL team will look elsewhere for playing time. You are not seen standing on the sidelines. These kids are A players and can play for any organizations . It’s time for them to make their move .

VLC parent here and we have played all three above. All of them like us move the ball. Variation comes from young lacrosse and agree on LI Express but have seen Sweetlax almost win against them many times and Tigers have beat them a lot so it really comes down to the day maybe? Best part is these games are so fun and Hawks are also very good and they are successful many times. VLC matches up best against Sweetlax and we have a harder time against the other two.

Correct. Their top 3 scorers scored 70% of their goals. But the top Express middies are on the field a ton.

Are you saying BBL, Jersey Express, Black Ops and Eclipse are on age? And Igloo, 3D, LXC and Primetime aren’t? Or is this your ranking even if they don’t have their older kids. BBL and Jersey have had older players show up. Not sure about that Igloo one…saying they have older players and are top 10 because of it? Primetime does have some suspect players.

Isn't Primetime from LI? LI doesn't have older players!
Plain and simple, Express vs Sweet Lax was the World Series Championship Event! Utmost respect to both teams! Two very talent teams. That game would have made for better TV!

Express, then Tigers, Hawks and sweetlax in any order are still the top 4.

On age top 10 are based on the teams that went to World Series
The other list includes all 2026 teams

Then it makes no sense. Igloo, for example, is on age. So they’re in your top 10 for any age…but not for on age, even though they are, because they didn’t make WSYL? Why don’t you just say too 10 that made WSYL and the top 10 regardless?

Tigers on age is no match for Express. Sweetlax was a great game on age. Hawks on age couldn’t even make it to the dance. Bottom line…..Express is on age everytime they play. I’m not sure that can be said for the other teams.

Tigers coach will reclass his kid to keep up with the competition. Can't compete otherwise. Tigers will become tigers 27 or be a two grade team. That's why they are keeping a lot of 27s and looking for 27 goalie. Wait and see.

Agree Hawks are not that good. Defense was weak and they relied heavily on one to two players. Expect Hawks to continue losing big games.

Who is going to NLF? Laxchusetts will be there to take all of these on all of these age teams, hold back teams and everything in between. All I have seen so far was that the Hawks will be there. Who else is coming up?
Prime Time Invitational this weekend has a very good group of teams. LI Express CoachC, 3d NE Red, Towermen, LXC Black, BBL Black, PrimeTime, Igloo, 2Way, Express North. For a 12 team field, it's about as good as it gets.

Tryout season and outside of all the silly rumors generated by competitors in tryout season the Hawks will get the best d guys and be back in first soon. The coach is a former division one player he knows the drill.

Who has a player coming from 3 hours away? Express Connecticut kid?

Accurate as usual!

Express almost lost to Sweetlax last weekend and at qualifier, Express lost to Tigers before qualifier and at nfl, Express lost to Hawks at nal. They are really good but not dominate.

All of these teams work hard. I am sure the Hawks do too. Seen them play for years, they clearly have talent. There will continue to be parity at the top of 2026. We should be glad, it makes the tournaments more fun.

check the stats-- express spread the ball around all wsyl. tigers rely on the big guy and once he draws the d a couple other kids can score.

VLC parent here and we have played all three above. All of them like us move the ball. Variation comes from young lacrosse and agree on LI Express but have seen Sweetlax almost win against them many times and Tigers have beat them a lot so it really comes down to the day maybe? Best part is these games are so fun and Hawks are also very good and they are successful many times. VLC matches up best against Sweetlax and we have a harder time against the other two.

Tigers on age is no match for Express. Sweetlax was a great game on age. Hawks on age couldn’t even make it to the dance. Bottom line…..Express is on age everytime they play. I’m not sure that can be said for the other teams.

Express almost lost to Sweetlax last weekend and at qualifier, Express lost to Tigers before qualifier and at nfl, Express lost to Hawks at nal. They are really good but not dominate.

Fair but certainly the top team right now after last weekend.
91 seems to be on an upswing again with coaches and team.

Are you saying BBL, Jersey Express, Black Ops and Eclipse are on age? And Igloo, 3D, LXC and Primetime aren’t? Or is this your ranking even if they don’t have their older kids. BBL and Jersey have had older players show up. Not sure about that Igloo one…saying they have older players and are top 10 because of it? Primetime does have some suspect players.




Then it makes no sense. Igloo, for example, is on age. So they’re in your top 10 for any age…but not for on age, even though they are, because they didn’t make WSYL? Why don’t you just say too 10 that made WSYL and the top 10 regardless?

WSYL is over so on age doesnt matter.

TBH it only mattered last weekend.
The 91 team that played this weekend had many of the 27's playing up with them. They did not look good at all
Agreed. Without the 2027’s, they wouldn’t be there. The 91 2027’s are and will be a stand out team for the WSYL next year! Kudos to them for playing up.
At this age coaching is paramount. The athletic advantages are way less impactful and not nearly as pronounced. Coaching, teamwork and familiarity lead the way.

Upswing??? The team went 1-4 in pool play and lost to a team from California. Now that the World Series is over Spallina and his machine kids will go back to machine. Without them they wouldn’t have even qualified. This team will continue to move in a downward trend.
It will be interesting to see what happens to 91 after tryouts this year. They are a B team without guest players.

Spallina goes back to coaching his 27s and gearing them for nexts years WSYL. The real 26 team goes down the toilet unless they get betters players and do something with coaching. None of those 26 kids are happy they had younger kids outplaying them at WSYL. More will leave and that team will hope to be a B level group.
Hey NLF, how about a schedule??

I can confirm that atleast several kids were not happy about being replaced by 2027’s at the WS and a few tournaments. I don’t believe they will play with them after this month as they get ready for next years WS. A few parents talking about moving on and I can’t blame them.

Beating all b teams and losing to AA teams means you are a B team.

i was waiting for that! yes Towermen are the greatest team ever assembled to compete in the medicine game. The parents are athletic visionaries and should be worshipped. Every member of the team should be able to sign with their d1 choice immediately (some straight to pll). Towermen parents should be studied in labs so we can clone them into a master race.

Hahahaha. Good one. Gotta love their confidence tho!
Having talked to a few Towermen parents at the WS and other tournaments, I'm pretty sure they know CoachC and Sweetlax are the top 2 teams in the country with Hawks and Tigers right behind them. 3D, Towermen and Black Ops are in the next tier.

Whoever is saying Towermen should be number 1 is probably a troll of another team.

Mr. Sweetlax Upstate is #1 back yet again. You always lose to Express Channey (it is 0-10 now can't keep up?) and Towermen, Tigers, Hawks. Lost in NAL quarters behind those teams and lost in WSYL semi. Brag when you win something. All the teams above have beat the other and won big tournaments.

Why is sweetlax #2? What is their record vs Tigers and Hawks?
Just want to get ahead of this one, Towermen parents are aware of the new algorithm that makes up the rankings. We are happy with a great weekend but in no way declaring a #1 ranking. We always got along with Express parents and huge amount of respect for their team. On a side note, 3D NE players and parents are as solid as they come - good people.

Towermen parents were happy but respectful. Towermen came back to beat 3d, scoring 3 straight to close the game. Probably a heartbreaking loss for those kids on 3d. Then took it to LI Express and won a close one. Saw the 3d parents and players actually giving them high 5's and clapping for their championship. Sportsmanship at its finest. At this age, any team can beat any other team on any day. We should appreciate and applaud the efforts of these kids, playing at a high level vs trolling and boasting.

Well said. Plenty of mutual respect and sportsmanship amongst parents and players on 3D, Tmen and express yesterday. It was great to see.
This algorithm nonsense is a joke. I am not a towermen supporter just a lax fan. It is mid-July and the best summer teams aren’t determined by results in March or May or June. Towermen beat 3D NE and LIE CoachC at the latest weekend tournament. Why should it matter what happened before? Lax teams don’t play a best of 3 or 5 or 7 series against each other like other sports. The last game you win or lose let’s you know where you stand. Same as in NCAA. Based on algorithm UVA was worst team in ACC but UVA won their last game against an undefeated Maryland. Same thing happened to BC wlax- lost to UNC and Syracuse several times but in the last tournament beat both. Same applies to USA vs Canada- best team is the one who won the last game. If Sweetlax beats LIE at NLF then Sweetlax is better than CoachC. Same thing if Hawks win NLF. Lacrosse teams get better or worse during the summer and it is pretty clear Towermen are better since they won! It is not arrogant for UVA or BC say they are the best even though maybe better players on other teams or overall record not the best. Beauty of sports is you settle disagreements on the field. Summer season is ending and whoever wins their last tournament is the best among those teams competing. If your team doesn’t win you will get another chance next summer. Stop crying and enjoy the high-level competition.

Maybe so maybe not but here is the top 5 right now:
LI Express
Sweetlax
Hawks
Tigers
Towermen
(Black Ops not included because it was a super team created this year for the sole purpose of competing in the WS thus should not have been allowed to participate per the WS’s own rules)

By your logic, if a 1-10 NY Jets team beats a 10-1 KC Chiefs team, everyone will say the the Jets are a better team. Is that what you’re saying? Lookup regency bias.

Not how the formula works - average strength of schedule and goal differential. If you want to boost your ranking win by more goals.
Don’t listen to this guy. A Towermen parent wouldn’t write that. This is probably where we should be:
Express
Sweetlax
Hawks
Tigers
Towermen

This is a ridiculous argument. Everything doesn't hinge on one game unless there is a national championship where all top teams (top 20) are there. Other than that, you can't base "who's better" by one game. There are so many factors, like travel, missing players, injuries, illness, conditions, etc. From what I saw, the all world FOGO for LI Express wasn't there. Could he have made a difference in a 1 goal game? Maybe, maybe not. But if he had been there, the outcome may have been different. Kudos to Tmen for a hard fought win. Great to see kids battle and play so well, on both sides. But to say that "you are what you've done in your last game", in a 30 or 40 game summer season is ridiculous. Think college football BEFORE playoffs. There was a number 1 team determined by the cumulative record over the course of a season. Until there is a definitive national championship (not the NLF, where half the Top 20 aren't even there), then you will have to rely on something better. And in the end, who gives a bleep about who's number 1...certainly not college recruiters and scouts.
Towermen will show you doubters at the NLF national championship!

Clearly, someone is trolling as a towermen parent because we aren’t even going to NLF. Our summer season ended last weekend!

It doesnt make a while lot of sense to me when you click on the 'rating math'. Clicked on the Hawks..... Beating Express at NAL had a +/- of +2.94. Beating their 1st two opponents at Naptown by a combined 23-2 gave them a combined +/- of -2.94. How does that make sense? Clicked on Express..... Their highest +/- was +4.18 for a win over Towermen. They had +/- of -4.5 and -4.17 in blowout wins over Eels and Lone Wolf. Too much is put into the goal differential it appears.

It is not arrogant for UVA or BC say they are the best even though maybe better players on other teams or overall record not the best. Beauty of sports is you settle disagreements on the field. Summer season is ending and whoever wins their last tournament is the best among those teams competing. If your team doesn’t win you will get another chance next summer. Stop crying and enjoy the high-level competition.

Not how the formula works - average strength of schedule and goal differential. If you want to boost your ranking win by more goals.

It doesnt make a while lot of sense to me when you click on the 'rating math'. Clicked on the Hawks..... Beating Express at NAL had a +/- of +2.94. Beating their 1st two opponents at Naptown by a combined 23-2 gave them a combined +/- of -2.94. How does that make sense? Clicked on Express..... Their highest +/- was +4.18 for a win over Towermen. They had +/- of -4.5 and -4.17 in blowout wins over Eels and Lone Wolf. Too much is put into the goal differential it appears.

Most of the tryouts for the Long Island teams are the same week. July 26. It makes it hard to try out for several teams. It's frustrating.

Which teams overlap?
Express,Legacy and 91 tryouts are same days.

They're all multiple days, so I'm sure you could attend parts of whatever teams your son was interested in.

If your looking for a new team then yes usually you tryout for multiple teams. If you only tryout for one and don’t make it, you are screwed.

I am under the impression you can join a team anytime, if a club wants you they will put you on the team.

You're only screwed if your son has no ability. Then that begs the question, why are you even shelling out the $ to play travel.

If you communicate your intentions to the club, it's usually not an issue.
Why you're trying out for so many teams at this stage of the game, is another issue.

I will take the under on 7. TK is very solid squad. Not many mistakes...wont give up a lot of easy goals to CoachC. I think it will be a 5 goal game in favor of CoachC
If fogo is there, express wins by 10 or more. If not, they win by 5 or more

Anything is possible for sure. And the FOGO is amazing no doubt. And TK is not as good as they there were in 2019. All of that is true. But my son has played against both TK and LI Express recently and I would be surprised if the margin is 10 goals. Could happen, but I think its more like 5 or 6. We shall see!
The clowns that don’t understand how tournaments work seem to populate this board. These lax tournaments have pool play and then seeding for playoffs. It isn’t a NFL regular season where 1-10 Jets can beat a 10-1chiefs and be the best. Hey low IQ guy the NFL playoffs are a tournament and Tampa Bay was a wild card that beat every higher seeded team. Using an algorithm the Super Bowl should have been Chiefs vs Packers. The goof balls whining about the FOGO or missing players act like LIE is the only team that has injuries or kids that miss games for real life. Towermen beat the teams that showed up. If LIE wins NLF then LIE is the best team in the NLF.

Impressive. Didn’t think the TKs could hang with
them. They were underwhelming at NAL.

9-7 final
Good luck to all the Parents going back to NY on a Sunday in July traffic . Going to be a long ride home was it worth it ?? Hahahha
Says the person going where? Because if you are from Sweetlax we could say the same for your trips to NJ for NAL or MD for WSYL.

I bet you couldn’t wait to drop that since after the WSYL tournament.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward to see you all in the fall.

Only people headed home today were the families that were on teams that won and played in the semi finals and championship. All the losers left last night when the consolations were cancelled. Upstate is now number 1 !

From what I understand he could have competed in the WSYL so he's not that old. But he doesn't practice with the team and only shows up to tournaments.

What is interesting is that Express North was literally pulling down 2025's to play at NLF during the middle of the tournament. All it took was for a 2025 to whisper "I'm reclassing" and he was on the 2026 team.

I find that hard to believe (but anything is possible) I stood next to that kid and if he went into a store to buy cigarettes no one would bat an eye.

North will do anything to beat CoachC. The team is mostly "holdbacks " who couldn't field a WS team. Bringing in guest players for tournaments. Sorry for the parents who pay full tuition only to have your son sit while a guest player plays. The whole concept is ridiculous. To what end? Do we play travel lax for our kids or to stroke our own ego. Go ahead North.. boast about beating the WS champs... who you couldn't play in the WS tournament itself.
holdback lacrosse isn't going away.... But at least keep the team that you formed from tryouts together instead of bringing in guest players.. bad look

How would you rank the B teams on LI? I am not looking for nasty responses. I am sure all you parents who have kids on A teams will see your kids get full rides to Duke, Hopkins, etc in 4 years. I am sincerely interested in getting a sense of which clubs have solid B teams (decent coaching, decent players). Thank you in advance.

Igloo, Express, Moose, True Blue, LILC all decent B teams

I would agree with this list. Express is the only one I would be a little iffy about at that price tag . Igloo B has some great coaches. Moose is also very well coached. 91 B is a disaster. I think turtles also runs nice program.

Listen this team has beat us 11-1 ten times in a row and not happy to report there parents are nice and there kids play good. Not as good as Sweetlax but they did finish third at national champ and almost won the world series. Wish we had this program in my area and my older and younger kids got their coaches.

Wait a second. You got the wrong guy guy. I would never get into any fight with kids. You must be thinking of the guy who has tattoo, wears hoodies, drives a pickup, and drags a cooler of beer to tournaments.
I don’t believe this nonsense at all. Tigers parents are all respectful. There is no drunk and disorderly conduct happening within that parent group, let alone to a child.

LOL good try again with your fake news on this team. You know nothing and everyone knows who the pathetic poster is when they post on bordes. It is sad. Looks like someone cant make this top national team and is a little salty. Lots of summer left, hit the wall.

Serious question - if your son makes the World Series team is that included?

Black ops and monuments was extra just for WSYL, hawks was one of the 4 summer tourneys and was included from what I’ve heard. Things will be get interesting if they keep it in DC since more clubs will try to attend, Denver was a non starter for a lot of families. Most clubs in dc/md/va list tuition up front on their websites, not sure if that is the case in other areas.
No report of turnout at igloo tryouts?
Someone must have gone……..?
A drunk goomba express mom got more press then any of these games ever have. Tells you how irrelevant lacrosse is.

The prices are no secrets at this point. These are give or take a few hundred bucks

91 4K +
Express. 4K +
Igloo. Mid 3k
Legacy Mid 3k
Rebels. Upper 2k-3k

Most other B clubs are in the mid 2k to almost 3k

Express charges the same amount for the a, b and c team

91 charges 1k less for the b teams.

70+ and they were missing a lot of their existing players. Shore 2 Shore had a few, so did Legacy and Express (B and C). Most of the other teams represented as well.

The 91,Express and Direwolves (A) all looked good along with a few S2S. After that it’s a real drop off. Might see a few additions. IMHO.

Didnt see more than one 91 helmet; wasn't anything to write home about. Express had a couple of decent B team players. Two S2S kids were good. Decent attackman from (possibly) Outlaws with a chrome helmet. Son overheard a lot of Igloo kids were away at a camp but were coming back.

I actually was thinking a bunch of the 91 kids would try to move over to Igloo this year. I am surprised to hear there was only one.

Not a true statement. Hawks played in 4 summer tournaments and WSYL was one of them. Matt Hogan did NOT pick up the tab nor charge anything more than initial fee.

The Igloo players you probably saw were mostly B team. They were missing a lot of A kids including multiple starters.
So returning players don’t have to tryout?
It looked like starting A team was there. Why would you say “probably” if you weren’t there or don’t know?

Why would you think that? Unless your not getting playing time, why would you wove to a equal/lesser team?
How could you not see playing time? They didn’t have enough to field team for Maryland, had to bring 2027s.

It was a good turnout for a team that only has one 2026 team.
If a club has a AA team is the team below that an A team or a B team? What is the Express’s B team? Do they have I thought they had an AA, an A and a B team.
Is the Turtles an A team, since they only have one team??

The last game you win or lose let’s you know where you stand. Same as in NCAA. Based on algorithm UVA was worst team in ACC but UVA won their last game against an undefeated Maryland. Same thing happened to BC wlax- lost to UNC and Syracuse several times but in the last tournament beat both. Same applies to USA vs Canada- best team is the one who won the last game. If Sweetlax beats LIE at NLF then Sweetlax is better than CoachC. Same thing if Hawks win NLF. Lacrosse teams get better or worse during the summer and it is pretty clear Towermen are better since they won! It is not arrogant for UVA or BC say they are the best even though maybe better players on other teams or overall record not the best. Beauty of sports is you settle disagreements on the field. Summer season is ending and whoever wins their last tournament is the best among those teams competing. If your team doesn’t win you will get another chance next summer. Stop crying and enjoy the high-level competition.

This is a ridiculous argument. Everything doesn't hinge on one game unless there is a national championship where all top teams (top 20) are there. Other than that, you can't base "who's better" by one game. There are so many factors, like travel, missing players, injuries, illness, conditions, etc. From what I saw, the all world FOGO for LI Express wasn't there. Could he have made a difference in a 1 goal game? Maybe, maybe not. But if he had been there, the outcome may have been different. Kudos to Tmen for a hard fought win. Great to see kids battle and play so well, on both sides. But to say that "you are what you've done in your last game", in a 30 or 40 game summer season is ridiculous. Think college football BEFORE playoffs. There was a number 1 team determined by the cumulative record over the course of a season. Until there is a definitive national championship (not the NLF, where half the Top 20 aren't even there), then you will have to rely on something better. And in the end, who gives a bleep about who's number 1...certainly not college recruiters and scouts.

AA teams don’t exist in Lax. Just another way for the clubs to get more money out of the parents . It’s A,B,C . AA and AAA is a travel hockey

Until the top 5 ranked teams play anyone below & spank them 15-1
Kris Middleton played in the NBA G league and now is an NBA Champion, All-star and Team USA. Dreams do come true.
There is a place for all kids to play, whether it be A, B or C. If the player loves the game and wants to play find him a program that works for him. Keep your expectations realistic of the players talent. You will find out quick enough his desire and commitment to playing.
Players know who they can compete with. Parents get a bit carried away with ratings etc. An attackmen or middie that breezes through everyone should try to move up to better team. Same goes for a defensive player that shuts down offense and gets all ground balls. Let them make their own choices to tryout and play. They will be realistic and happier for it.

Isn’t it the coaches who make those decisions?
This I think is a notIntelligent theory. So create a bunch of team hoppers who think they are better then everyone else. dont try to just keep improving your team. dense. Its why the club lacrosse is a joke. High School lacrosse makes people have to develop all the kids in their town to make the team good. Those are really the better programs. Creating super teams of Lebron Jameses hopping from teams to teams is just a joke.

Anyone been to any tryouts lately ? What times are folding ? What teams had a big turnout ?
Players should not have to stay on a team with kids that can’t catch or throw and don’t play with intensity. Face it,some kids are just going through the motions because the parents drag them to practice. Please don’t say a player should stay with a team to improve it when it’s up to players to put in time to improve themselves and team. Someone who puts in time and effort doesn’t have to wait around for little Johnny to improve.
Same goes for school teams. Play who puts in the effort and plays well. Sorry for the rant. But the partipation trophies are in little league.
No leadership qualities Lebron, sign of a great player is make everyone around you better. Learn something from Giannis, not Lebron.

So what is the level of the teams that play in the AA bracket of tournaments? They are A’s and the B team plays in the A bracket? So 2026 CoachC is a A team not a AA team? This is very confusing?

AA is just what they call an A team outside of LI. In LI it is A B and C. Other places call it AA, A and B
I think rankings are more directional. If you are in the top 10 or 20 you have a good team. I think more telling is if you look at the LI express. The Top team is number 2 now and the second team (A or B team depending on how they label their teams) is ranked 199. How does that happen?
Current National ranking is 149, but they are 19th in NY. You have a record of 15-18-1.
Who was at Express tryouts? About 100 kids there.
Any opinions?

If you believe in these rankings you must also believe that One day Coach C will put your kids on his A team. Just not happening especially with his new holdbacks and 90 mile commuter kids. You should of made the move!

Apparently the scores/tournaments are incorrect for the 2nd/3rd teams. Was told that the Orange team was the team to go to WS qualifier but those games are listed for the Black team (C team). I know my sons team played the Orange team but it's listed that he played the Black team.

Not the most accurate count but I very close estimate is 90 something.

My son plays with the B team. Many of those scores are definitely mixed up between the B and C team. Looks like at least the first 2 tournaments including world series are wrong team.

Yes. Mine also, but I think he had more wins with black team. Went deeper in a couple of tournaments also. Turtles beat him on orange. He beat them on black. Weird season.

Hopefully they will only have two teams, so they can concentrate on player development and overall lacrosse IQ for the B team.

Have you watched the B team play? They have no offense, their midfield has no concept of how to play defensive, they have no slide package and they don’t know how to clear the ball.

Agreed. I am not on LI, but we drive our son an hour each way to his practices. Not much in our area. Couldn't be happier. 100% his decision with that time commitment.
Thoughts on Shore 2 Shore tryout yesterday?

Do you answer your own questions at home as well? Makes it much easier on your wife I bet.
are we saying that the legacy tryout isn't good because most of their kids want to stay with their team? and that they may look at some other kids to fill holes etc? with, I think that is a sign of a solid team, not a bad sign.
that's a disgrace that they put sweetlax number 1, they beat the Express team once. pretty sad.

Rankings last updated Jul 28, 2021 - 1 LI Express CoachC (2026)
No the coaches, parents and kids are all complacent! Legacy 2026’s are a team of the past. 6-23 to date and ranked 124 by US ClubLax. Heroes to zeros in a very short period of time. Most 2026 Long Island teams have progressed, but not Legacy. Can’t improve unless you practice and play and that wasn’t in Zumo’s playbook this season. Tryouts were mostly existing Legacy kids. Obviously not a lot of interest to join the team. Heard 2025 Legacy and Rush merging? Stay tuned.

which Express. North or LI? North had 2 games (so that is 44) with another 20-30 subbing in. I was shocked by the number of kids. Talk was that there was going to be 3 teams. There A team is good but B is poor (compared to other historic B teams) No idea how they could justify a C team.

Tigers, Towerman, Express North and Hawks have all beaten LIE this season. Parity folks and the algorithm is flawed. That being said, LIE had the best season and should be #1 IMHO but it’s not a disgrace for any of those teams to have been at the top. What is a disgrace is the national teams, all star teams and guest players/reclasses on teams chasing t shirts are all captured in these rankings. Sweet lax won a monster tourney with the deepest field, they can claim top dog until fall or even spring.

which Express. North or LI? North had 2 games (so that is 44) with another 20-30 subbing in. I was shocked by the number of kids. Talk was that there was going to be 3 teams. There A team is good but B is poor (compared to other historic B teams) No idea how they could justify a C team.

About 100 or just under for LI Express

If you believe in these rankings you must also believe that One day Coach C will put your kids on his A team. Just not happening especially with his new holdbacks and 90 mile commuter kids. You should of made the move!

LI holdbacks? Say it aint so!!!????

They’re not holdbacks. They’re kids that we’re playing up a year for their age and are finally coming back to play with their actual graduation year. Nice try though

What is a disgrace is the national teams, all star teams and guest players/reclasses on teams chasing t shirts are all captured in these rankings. Sweet lax won a monster tourney with the deepest field, they can claim top dog until fall or even spring.

North played the entire NLF with non-rostered, overaged kids.

This doesn’t even make sense. Solid team? It means that there’s typically 20-25 kids on a team…so less than 20 “new” faces wanting to go to those tryouts. That’s a bad sign. No one is clamoring to go to legacy. They also lost players after the season so there’s even bigger holes now.

I agree. Just don’t get what happened to this team and why they’ve had a mass exodus. Anyone have any info ?

Have to agree with the PP, Hawks and Towermen could not even make semi finals at NLF National Championship and World Series to play these elite teams. Both are ranked behind True. Would be indecent to bring up World Series qualifier (someone did not qualify cough cough), Naptown or Millon results.... cough cough hairballs

Towermen didn’t go to NLF ya fool. And they beat 2 of the the number 1 and 2 ranked teams this summer and lost to number 3 and 4 in OT. But some folks with kids on weaker teams somehow still don’t think they belong in the conversation. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
When are you fools going to realize that rankings don’t mean squat. The only thing that matters for the high level kids is who is getting calls on Sept 1 of their junior year. If your club has a good track record with recruiting and your kid is legit, that’s all you need to worry about.

Towermen weren’t at the NLF and I don’t believe that Sweetlax has played the Hawks in 2 years. Express North clearly playing with holdbacks and the same could be said about True National who is now #4 according to the recent rankings. Their scores show them playing in Lake George which is not a place you typically see a national team playing but to each their own. Perhaps they’ll test themselves at some more competitive events. LIE top ranking is well deserved and agree that with the top 3 stated earlier. Keep an eye on Towermen, who are solid now that they can play with their older kids. The holdback/reclass issue will be interesting to watch this fall and next summer to see it’s impact vs. legit on-age teams.

He/she/them is correct. Wins and losses on club teams esp. in middle school mean absolutely nothing. Play on the best team your kid has fun playing on and is getting plenty of reps and if the club has good recruiting director, even better.

Of course you agree with your prior post. Care to share what winner club you represent, will bet you are not in the mentioned group above? Results reflect coaching and development and why LIE is #1.

Yes I posted the one about rankings meaning squat. My kid plays for a team ranked in the top 10 of the US club lax rankings. If you don’t agree with the post you are either a fool or trying to live thru your son.
Take it from a parent with a 2026 kid and a kid playing mid level D1. In about 5 years you will all realize how silly you all sound. And if you think your kid needs a club program to get recruited, think again. Prospect camps and showcases will be the more likely path to an offer for most players. Good grades will open up many more doors so I would focus your energy on getting your son to read a book rather than a peeing war about whose club is better.
You are being way too logical for this forum pal. Get lost.
Towermen need their older kids to compete at the elite level which is why they didn’t originally qualify for the WS. It’s irrelevant now that the WS is over but they clearly need their holdbacks to be in this conversation. In fact, any team that plays with older reclassed kids should at least be comfortable admitting it vs. denying those players aren’t on their teams. They’re not breaking the rules but at least acknowledge it gives you a competitive advantage between 7th and 9th grade. Tends to even out afterwards.
Enough with the holdback Derangement Syndrome. Give it a rest already snowflakes

Welcome back Hawks dad, you've been quiet since July 2nd.
Overall, great season for the 2026 teams. A lot of mix up and new teams emerging. Teams that have not lost are taking some L's and the dynasties are having a hard time remaining dynasties. If you are being talked about, you clearly do not stink. The reloading is beginning now and there will be a new crop next season...unfortunately with a heavy hold back influence. Regarding the World Series, 6 out of 8 teams that made the Championship bracket came from the Eastern Qualifier. The MD addition to the World Series clearly had a big impact on this event this year and will continue going forward (assuming it stays in MD).

Spoken like you're part of a team with holdbacks lol... again, no one is breaking the rules, but at least be comfortable owning the fact that some of these clubs need those player to be "elite." This is not rocket science and eventually becomes irrelevant, but it's clearly a competitive advantage as stated bt the PP.
Towermen went 5-2 at the World Series with their losses to the 2 teams on ESPN. They were beating the Tigers for most of the game and lost in OT. That is with a team that is on age. I am trying to figure out how they are not competitive unless they have their August born players? I guess the Tigers did not have an "Elite" season which is clearly not accurate. Keep trolling. Sweetlax is poised to be #1 in 2022. Complete team and very underrated.
Does anyone know how 91 tryouts went? I would think they are looking for new players. Last year seemed tough for them. My son thought about going but changed his mind. Anything supplemental possibly?

The trolls will troll, if you know this age group you know that the Hawks and Towerman are also two of the top teams. Also there’s a lot of parity at the 2026 level (unlike the 2025s as it looks like 91 MD has a clear strangle hold on the top spot) where any one of these teams could win on any give day playing against each other. Overall, great age group with lots of talent, good kids and quality teams

Great to see the regional competition. Also Stealth and Southern Star nice showing from south. very good teams.

Don’t waste your time defending Tmen to the sour grapes parents with a kid on a weaker team. “But they didn’t qualify..wha..wha..wha.” Broken record. Any coach in the top ten regards them as a formidable team on age or not, and probably isn’t happy when they are in the same tourney pool with them.
Always amazing how people can justify cheating. Some teams are using holdbacks, which per grade rules appear to be OK. Others are just flat out cheating using 2025 kids in 2026 games. Yet in some concocted person mind the person that points it out is a crybaby, and the cheater is in the right. Spout your views, most people will just nod their head and move along, but everyone knows you have defined yourself as a low character person. You cheat to win youth lacrosse games and brag about it on some useless ranking system. Now go on and name call me all you want, your response lets everyone know you are a cheater.

60-70 kids at tryouts. Only one or two kids not coming back who weren’t getting playing time. So all good.

Don't believe anyone said they weren't competitive, but the bracket they played in for the WS was clearly one of the weakest brackets, and they lost easily to LIE and also lost to the Tigers in OT. The remaining teams they played against had a combined record of 12-19 and I'm sure no one would have referred to those other teams as elite. Still, the WS is over and there is nothing wrong with admitting those older kids (that by age should be 8th graders) make a significant difference in your club. Again, it's ok Tower Mom, but simply admit it and move on.

A few shock kids reclassing and coming down. They will be much improved.

What did me miss, who is this poster arguing with other than the voices in her or his head? This post seems loco.
What teams are you referring to as cheaters?
I heard the True National team is stacked but they haven’t played a top 5 team yet. Only top 10 team they played was 3D NE who they beat both times. Would be interesting to see how they did vs a LIE or Sweetlax.
I thought they brought players up this year. Did they get a good turnout?

Why would you want to play a regular Club team with your National Team?
Surprised we didnt hear how good Rebels tryouts were (was rained out today)

Says a parent who doesn’t want their kid to lose his spot. Still plenty of top talent out there.

True National team actually showed up to play in Lake George vs mid level regional teams. First time I’ve seen that but it seems they’re not interested in playing the top clubs and some of their 25 kids played on the 26 team which is typically not allowed. It’s possible that the 26 kids played up but that’s unlikely. Either way, we’ll see how they compete should they play some of the elite clubs/programs.

Because it is the only good 2026 national team so who else would they play and they still would probably lose to express and sweetlax

What? More long island hold backs? I'm shocked
What impact does the COVID year have on kids repeating a grade? Legitimate reason to hold a child back for education purposes. Will former 2026'ers now be playing 2027?

You can’t just reclass a kid in public school for no reason . It’s very difficult to do. What must people are doing is reclassing when they go from public school to private. And from what I hear it’s pretty easy to do. It’s an extra years tuition you are paying at private school. More money in their pocket.

You sound ignorant. You do realize that these are 2026 kids playing up on the 2025 teams and now joining their actual age group right?
