Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to Boys 2026 (8th Graders) for the Fall 2021/Summer 2022 season.
Heard Express Chucks lost some players to Venom, Igloo and Turtles. Wonder how strong they will be this year.
Did Moose shut down their 2028 team?
Heard whole moose team shut down. A bunch went to Venom pushing those venom kids to surge and other moose went to surge. A few others tried out for various clubs
Looks like venom poached a lot of the top talent in this age group. Moose folded. Any other teams improved from last season?
did moose hold tryouts?
Not allowed to post club prices I guess…

You all are aware that this is a 2026 thread and Venom is 2028, right?

Club prices are relative to what you get for the money. Be sure to ask what is included and how it compares to other clubs.
Lacrosse is cheaper in Maryland. Go back to Maryland thread and get a life

You can. They just renamed the threads.
As for tuition, these are a few I've heard

Rush - $3500
Rebels - $3200
Express - A(2 teams) $3900, B - $3K

I think most come in between $3K-$3500, with Express topping at almost $4K
Legacy - $3825
91A is 4K

Anybody think their kid’s team got better/ worse? I know my kid thought about switching teams. Friends have made moves. Just asking.

Definitely better . A 2026 shouldn’t be hopping clubs at this point unless it’s for Express A. Not a Express parent .
I shouldn’t let my kid switch teams if he wants to?
Such a critical year in his lacrosse life?
He wants to play on a different team…. So he is. Why wouldn’t I let him play where he wants. Always on the field wherever he plays so why not let him pick. I’ll just have to take the old team magnets off the car. No big deal. Done.

Go where your kid is going to be happy! Let him pick. It’s Lacrosse and life is short. Perspective goes a long way. Everyone’s path is different as to how they get where they are going. The “express” path Not the only way. As much as some on here want to believe it is!

Sure let him pick what he wants but don’t be the stunard Karen who complains later your kid didn’t get into college because the stunard team losses all the time and is irrelevant.

I couldn’t agree more. I love how parents cry about kids not being “loyal” to clubs. The same time the club will cut your kid in a heartbeat if they feel a better one comes along. If your not getting a good product for the money your spending than look elsewhere.
If your kid “is always on the field wherever he plays”, it would seem the club may feel some loyalty. Don’t get too big for your britches. Still a lot of change coming for these boys in the next few years. Your son’s situation may change on a dime.

As long as his son is happy about his choices and feels like he is going to a team to grow and thrive and still enjoy playing the game! More power to him. Don’t have your kid stay where they are not happy. What’s that flower saying? “If you are not growing , pick yourself up and plant yourself somewhere else”. Express is not everyone’s definition of sunshine. Not everyone grows better there.
Parents can’t push their kids. They will resist you. You have to Nurture their passions. Whatever those are .

NOT YOURS !!

Original poster made it seem like he was leaving his club to follow his friends? So what teams did his friends jump ship for? The only reason why I mentioned Express because they are the top team. Just find a club with good coaching!!
Strong coaching is ideal for every player, of course. But if your kid is serious about lacrosse and has the ability, he needs to be surrounded by other strong players if he is going to continue to develop.

Living threw your kid and you probably have no Athletic ability like most parents. FACT
Since you wrote out “FACT” in all caps, it must be true. I may not be athletic. I do, however, know the difference between threw and through. FACT.

Think Express is only one settled at top, rest up for grabs.

91, Legacy, Igloo, Rebels most likely fight for 2-5.

ECE, Turtles, Moose and others for spots 6-10.

I would agree with this. Only exception is mooselax. Most of the outlaw kids went there. They should be much improved. The legacy team is really bad.

I don’t know about that. I may be wrong but I’ve never seen igloo beat 91. They come close every time but always seem to lose in the end.

I believe ECE recently beat Rebels in a tournament. Then again I heard Rebels had a large turnout at tryouts.

Let’s not forget Express B or Empire.
Does the Legacy team face really good competition ? How would they fair against B teams ?

They would probably do ok against B teams. They were in AA brackets all summer and got crushed. Heard they also did not have a great turnout at tryouts.

Yes, don’t sleep on that Express B team. With an increased focus from the coaching staff they will be a much improved team.

Yes, Rebels big turnout and split into 2 teams. Lots of new players at turnouts. If kids accepted spots will be legit, but that's a big IF.

The express B team is like a unicorn. Doesn’t exist. Every time you beat them, they claim it wasn’t the B team. It was the C team. If CoachC keeps his roster at 35 then the express B team is not good. If the the bottom half of Channys roster went to the B team, they would be good. The B team they fielded at World Series qualifier was decent. But only because channys roster size was limited due to World Series rules.

How many 2026 teams is Express having this year? Rebels has two and probably should stick to one .

There were only 2 kids left off of CoachC's roster for the world series. The team isn't a roster of 35. It was 27 last year. 2 of CoachC's kids played fo the B team. 1 middle and 1 defense.
Having watched club lacrosse for some time with my older boys and now with my 2026 son , i can honestly say this is an odd age group . Express is clearly number one and Igloo is clearly 2 , no other years has 91 been so irrelevant , usually they figure it out but it certainly seems like a coaching and a talent issue , that being said please don’t put ECE or moose and Express B in the same conversation as 91, that’s a joke !

Bump Legacy out of that top 5 and replace with S2S. They will be the 4th best team after Express, 91, and Igloo. Mooselax is a joke. Outlaws didn’t beat those teams…why would mooselax? Because a couple decent players went there?

I don’t think anyone was saying they were in the same conversation. Someone was just ranking teams. Express is clearly number one. Everyone else is in 2nd tier. I agree that this age group on Long Island just isn’t that good. I don’t know the head to head record but 91 always seems to beat igloo. I watched the the World Series game and 91 won in overtime with a bunch of 2027 kids. Great game.

Such a false statement. The problem with the 2026 year is that Li is saturated with to many clubs looking to make a buck. You could definitely but together two more top teams from Li besides Express A.

I guess reality doesn't matter to you. When has Igloo beat 91 recently? Also, 2026 91 added a new coach for the up coming season. They finished this past season very strong with their core kids and a few adds. The top 3 are Express, 91 and Igloo as usual. Nothing odd about this year. Same top three as years past.

Top 3 ? Yes. But after express it’s a big dropoff to number 2. That’s not typical of other years. 91 did pretty bad in the World Series. Without the machine kids they probably wouldn’t have qualified. Igloo didn’t even qualify. Igloo and 91 consistently get beat buy top teams.

Never really said mooselax would beat express, 91 or igloo. I just stated that they would be much improved. And for the record the outlaws have beaten shore to shore and 91

They would probably do ok against B teams. They were in AA brackets all summer and got crushed. Heard they also did not have a great turnout at tryouts.

Daddy coaches starting to back fire all those years maybe Zummo 2nd yr can turn it around.

27’s can’t have zummo the 28’s want him!

I love LI lax and have been around the game 40 years, but I agree 2026 is odd with Express dominant and then a Massive drop off and no remote improvement in 91 over the years. My ‘26 isn’t a high level player but we have played all these teams and it’s an anomaly for sure. I have a ‘17, ‘19 and ‘22 who have seen it all and this is the worst level of play after Express I’ve ever seen for LI.
My opinion the best classes last 10 years 2014 2016 2022 2025
Why is Express number 1 🤔🤔 no Daddy coaches simple !

91 got an ace up the sleeve coming......
MD Crabs is going to destroy all of you! All this talk is pointless. This year we’re bringing in more kids from all over the country and we have more holdbacks so there’s no way anyone can stop us! Can’t wait to see you on the field! Go 🦀s!

Half of your team were holdbacks this year and you played in the consolation bracket at NAL. Crabs are not relevant

I’d say it more likely bc there are 30+ kids on team locked in because many have family members in program. But, lack of daddy coaches is a huge selling point.

Not that it matters since outlaws are now defunct…but what year did they beat 91 and S2S? US Club doesn’t list them playing either in the last year and a half and Covid ruined most of 2020. Was this 2-3 years ago?
Express is the only relevant LI team for 2026.

I believe ECE recently beat Rebels in a tournament. Then again I heard Rebels had a large turnout at tryouts.

Let’s not forget Express B or Empire.

Yes, don’t sleep on that Express B team. With an increased focus from the coaching staff they will be a much improved team.

The express B team is like a unicorn. Doesn’t exist. Every time you beat them, they claim it wasn’t the B team. It was the C team. If CoachC keeps his roster at 35 then the express B team is not good. If the the bottom half of Channys roster went to the B team, they would be good. The B team they fielded at World Series qualifier was decent. But only because channys roster size was limited due to World Series rules.
Chaney not going to keep his roster that size this coming season. Some of the “AA” players will move to the B team. While some of the B players will move to the C team. The C team will have there own coaching staff.

They beat 91 in 2019. And beat shore to shore in 2020. Never said they were better than those teams. But the post said the outlaws had never beaten those teams.

Sounds Perfect!! I love CoachC and Express

The holdbacks are coming to Express 26 and all of us parents know it. I feel bad for some of the on age kids because the couple of kids that are dropping down are very good and the on age kids cannot compete with them. Sounds like the exact same thing is going on at 91. It is a shame but it is the nature of the beast. If you think it is not going to happen you have your head in the sand because it happens every year, especially the year after the WSYL.

holdbacks are more the norm now, not the exceptions. It’s too bad, but it’s the reality. Becoming even more of an elite sport! Sad
COVID made holdbacks inevitable. I agree about it becoming more of an elite sport. Regular parents who can’t afford private school or a PG year are heading up the creek without a paddle. Not sure it will even matter if your kid is great on age. Unfortunate.
2026 Express Chaney has enough talented players less the World Series group and field another team to be one of the top 5 teams on Long Island.
dreaming, the second team never did that well, was a decent B team but only reason why won some games was that they would mix in some AA players.

B team parents are dreaming again . You are still second fiddle
If you take away 2025 LIE’s best 15 players, you have a decent A team but no shot that will have a chance beating a top 5 team. No shot.

A bunch of kids on the WSYL roster are going to be moved down to the B team so I agree that they should be very good.

Why would they move down? No need to. All tournaments are grade based with no restrictions on roster size. This time of year Express B team parents have high hopes. Go back and read last years predictions. Enjoy the drive to Delaware.

Express 2026 CoachC is getting a handful of re-classed players. They are going to displace a handful of current 2026 players. They either go down or move on. Not a hard concept. 91 is doing the same thing. Nothing to do with B team parents. It has to do with 2025 kids moving down and taking spots.

For S2S - is the Raiders or Barracudas the A team and which is the B team. Thanks

I guess the influx of reclassed kids will make it even greater! Reclass is going to take over LI, the same way it has in MD and other places. It’s unfortunate but true. Now LI kids want the same advantages reclassify gets you and they need to compete for college spots with the kids that do it and have been doing it. No matter what anyone says… it gives the kid an advantage

I agree but at what point do you throw your hands up and say nature can't compete with a 10th grader coming down to an 8th grade team? Express C is the legit team but now where do the regular kids get a chance? Here's an even better question how do I get my kid to do another year of school? Obviously if I'm asking how this is done nobody has asked my son to do this but what is the process?
Honestly, I’m not sure if holding back would help a regular kid with the recruiting process. Just my thoughts, and I could be wrong. Maybe someone a little more versed in the recruiting process could weigh in here. I guess it depends on your ultimate goal.

But to repeat a grade, you send your kid to private school. For example, go to public for 8th and then private for 8th again.
I'm new to this forum.... I can't believe the [ChillLaxin] I'm reading here. Holding back 8th graders??? or any grade for that matter... you people need your head examined.
There are 3 kids from Coach C 2025 going to the 2026 team. All 3 of the kids are actual 2026 students and were playing up a year. They aren't recalls kids and will now play with the team that they would've graduated with.

You seriously don’t see this happening more and more!? It may be crazy, but if the goal is to play in college and get heavily recruited, it’s going to happen. There is an advantage to it. I agree not fair and rules should be changed. But, in the meantime there is an advantage and as long as it is allowed and widely accepted, it’s going to happen more and more. If you thought your kid had a better chance at getting into a college he wouldn’t be able to without lacrosse by doing this… you wouldn’t think about it?! FYI , it happens in other sports as well! You don’t think an extra year or two of growing and training doesn’t get you better , you’re crazy! If it’s not fair, rules should be changed for club stuff.

I agree. Of the top 10 recruits in the country for 2022, 9 out of 10 were holdbacks. The number one recruit (from Long Island) will be 19 when he enters college in the fall of 2022. Us long islanders need to stop crying about holdbacks in other states. It’s alive and well here and will only continue to increase. Is what it is.

I call BS. It’s known that boys are repeating the grade.

“Us long Islanders”… you’re not from Long Island. Good try though. As if you were able to figure out all of their birthdates and whether they were actually held back a grade of school. lost

I agree. Of the top 10 recruits in the country for 2022, 9 out of 10 were holdbacks. The number one recruit (from Long Island) will be 19 when he enters college in the fall of 2022. Us long islanders need to stop crying about holdbacks in other states. It’s alive and well here and will only continue to increase. Is what it is.

“Us long Islanders”… you’re not from Long Island. Good try though. As if you were able to figure out all of their birthdates and whether they were actually held back a grade of school. lost

Will the LI kid (#1 recruit) be 19 when he starts college? True or false? If true, you usually aren’t 19 when you leave HS

Why would they move down? No need to. All tournaments are grade based with no restrictions on roster size. This time of year Express B team parents have high hopes. Go back and read last years predictions. Enjoy the drive to Delaware.

Express 2026 CoachC is getting a handful of re-classed players. They are going to displace a handful of current 2026 players. They either go down or move on. Not a hard concept. 91 is doing the same thing. Nothing to do with B team parents. It has to do with 2025 kids moving down and taking spots.

I thought LI didnt do holdbacks??

Concerned?

Yes, the the Express dads that spend the summer whining about other teams they think are using holdbacks. What will they complain about now? Too Tall?

Absolutely not true.

What is not true? 3 kids that played 2025 are not playing 2026, or they arent 2026 age?

You seriously don’t see this happening more and more!? It may be crazy, but if the goal is to play in college and get heavily recruited, it’s going to happen. There is an advantage to it. I agree not fair and rules should be changed. But, in the meantime there is an advantage and as long as it is allowed and widely accepted, it’s going to happen more and more.

Inside Lacrosse posted all of the birth months and years when they posted the top 10 or 20 kids in the class of 2022 - https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/recruiting-il-s-top-10-juniors-in-the-class-of-2022/56818
So, it looks to be the top 10 - 2022 recruits are all ‘03 birth years with the exception of 1 who’s is an ‘04.

The US Lacrosse age segmentation cutoff would have been 9/1/2003.
New top 10 rankings considering new adds, including holdback additions, and summer scores, Sweetlax, Express, Tigers, Towermen, Blackops, Hawks, Stealth, LXC, Madlax, 91 LI

The 04 is the youngest. However there is an 02.

There's no year given in that article, just a month and a date, could have been born in any year.

I think ‘03 means 2003!? They can’t all be born on the 3rd??
So if Express is getting 3 new attackmen this year , can you send them to 91 ..we will get you playing time !

Cmon pal. Did you really think every kid (except for one) was born on the third ? It has the month and the year. 🤦‍♂️

If It says June, ‘03, does that mean birth year?

They “lost” kids they cut and who left because they weren’t getting playing time. Add the kids from Igloo, S2S, Primetime and a few others from reclass. Oh yea, no more daddy coach. With the old team they beat Stealth and lost by 1 to Madlax. Beat 91MD and lost to Sweetlax(Grizzlies) in OT. This years team will be totally upgraded from last year’s.

The new head coach is one of the directors. The other two, now assistants, are not some PAL daddy coach. A college coach and all star college/MLL player are pretty good assistant coaches regardless if they have kids on the team. Def no more daddy ball.
This is bananas... if you feel you need to cheat to get your kid into college and you don't think anything is wrong with that, well maybe you're the problem. Anyway, good luck with that.

There’s nothing similar. The Grizzlies are a “B” team and Sweetlax is the elite team that has already manhandled both 91 Storm and 91 MD. None of those games were close. I knows it’s a forum, but try and share some information rooted in facts.

This is a joke I assume? The difference is Sweetlax is ranked 2nd and the Grizzlies are ranked 35th, and Sweetlax would beat them by 15+ goals. It’s no badge of honor to lose to the Grizzlies by 1. Too funny.

I spoke to the head coach of from last year and he says there is no change in coaching for this coming year. Explain yourself
As noted previously 5 out of the ten top 2022 players were born after Sept 1, 2003 which is the cutoff off for the WSYL and US lacrosse and for the majority of states including NE, Maryland, NJ, PA etc. clearly these 5 are not holdbacks. The only 2004 player is a January bday so not much difference from Sept-December 2003 players. The holdbacks dominating in 7th/8th grade will be left behind in HS

So basically they have the same exact coaching staff from the WSYL. That team got smacked around pretty good. At this point you have to accept the team for what it is. It was a dominant team when younger but the daddy ball ruined it. This caused many of their best players to leave. It’s still a good team which will beat all the b teams. In the end they will still get smacked around by top teams in the region.

So basically it’s not the same coaching staff. The 2022 head coach is taking over and they have 7 new kids from the WS team. No 2027’s that got run over. And 4/5 kids left/got cut. So it’s going to be a lot different team. I guess we will know the results when they play games.

What talent did they lose? Wasn't much there to begin with.
The LI Express B team is going to rock. Top ten for sure.

Age only matters at WSYL. Graduation year matters in the majority of states where lacrosse is played. A month and a day can be from any year when a child is held back a grade(s) to play lacrosse against smaller younger kids in the same graduation year.

I think that extra year is a huge advantage in a lot of developmental ways. Not just Lacrosse. It’s elitist though, as not everyone has the chance to have their kid “held back”. Public schools do not hold kids back even if they need to be held back for academics. (Really, the real reason too). So, again the people who can afford private schools take advantage of it.

I was told some states start the kids later for Kindergarten? Like MD at 5 to 6 years old? Or cut off for age is older? Is that true? Could explain some size differences in the grades?

Bullseye 🎯 A few good players left this year on top of the kids that left in the fall. They did cut a few. It's a shame when you think about it but life goes on.

New York has abnormally late cut-off dates for school and is one of the few places in the nation that allows 4 year olds in kindergarten. A child has to be 5 in order to start kindergarten in virtually every other state (I think Connecticut and NJ are the only other states that allow 4 year olds in kindergarten). If a child has a July birthday in these states and the parents hold him back he will be 6 when entering kindergarten. Most states have cut-off dates around Sept. 1.

Then congrats to top three ranked teams in the nation as they are all on age and they were the top World Series finish, Express, Tigers, Sweetlax. And Towermen also a great rank and finish and they are on age. Blackops also very good.Teams without holdbacks can win if coached and trained the right way like these teams.

Well it is my understanding or at least I was told that CoachC’s team is not an A team but a Double A team. The team below them is referred to as the B team. Some of the kids on the Double A are moving down to the B team, while some of the kids on the B team are moving to the C team. Coach W will only be coaching the B team. The C team will have it’s own coach staff this year. Hopefully this holds true and Coach W can get the B team playing good sound fundamental lacrosse.

How has this come to be your understanding? Maybe you should stop with conjecture and just wait to see what actually happens.
How is Express North at 2026. Kind of confusing given the number of teams they have and just trying to get an idea of the club.
Can their top team compete with the top 10-20 teams in the country or are they more on par with second tier clubs.

This past summer - the top team AA - too many kids, too many guest players. Very solid core of players lead by 1 outstanding player.
Also the use of 2025 express north players and 2025 other clubs players on the 2026 team. They cooked the books, and not just a little. A shame, because there are a couple of kids with real talent over there

Age only matters at WSYL. Graduation year matters in the majority of states where lacrosse is played. A month and a day can be from any year when a child is held back a grade(s) to play lacrosse against smaller younger kids in the same graduation year.

Then congrats to top three ranked teams in the nation as they are all on age and they were the top World Series finish, Express, Tigers, Sweetlax. And Towermen also a great rank and finish and they are on age. Blackops also very good.Teams without holdbacks can win if coached and trained the right way like these teams.

holdbacks everywhere this year.

Do not be jealous of the teams above.

Dont worry

Yes

Isn't the 2026 team coached by the Darien High School coach? He wins the Conn state championship every year. He is really cheating to win middle school summer games? Seems unlikely.

No idea who the coach is. But there were older kids playing for the 2026s at NLF. 99, 15, 20
There was a kid on that team with a beard at NLF. Kids who never played for express north 2026 started showing up. Saw them at NAL in June and different team at NLF. At NAL lost to hawks, BBL, igloo finishing winless in pool play. Barely beat a bad VLC in consolation. I saw that game. I see them again at NLF and now smoking everyone. Don’t know the coach and maybe the HS kids were missing from NAL. Team was also dirty. Lots of late hits and head hunting. Parents were cheering for that stuff. Coach knows what kind of product he put on field

The kids on the team know, the parents on the team know, opposing coaches know, opposing kids know, the tournament organizers know. There was an attempt to just sweep it under the rug, to save the reputations of the club and tournament organizers. But it was just too obvious and too many people know too much. The coach has sacrificed any semblance of reputation for a 7th grade lacrosse win.....

Yes

There is a difference between kids who were required to play with the U14 at the World Series but who are still 26s (like the kids listed above) and kids which are 25 grad years but playing with the 26s. Yes lacrosse should require that kids get "carded' to play for their specific club, limit or eliminate guest players and have age based and not graduation based teams like almost every other youth sport. However, it does not. So can we all stop complaining about holdbacks and talk about the sport and not whine on about holdbacks. It is getting old.
These were not "holdbacks". These were kids starting 9th grade this year. Flat out cheating. There was another kid that played 2025 all year, reclassed 1 day before NLF, and then played 2026. Call that what you will (cheating or creative rostering). But they outright used 2025 players that did not reclass to 2026 from both their club and other clubs. Common knowledge, any attempt to deny is just trying to cloud the issue that they cheated......

It seems like the discussion is around non-holdbacks playing down a year. That is different than holdbacks.

Based on the above and NLF championship seems like you left out Express North. Not very well played.

East coast elite has a decent team. Alot of the outlaw kids went to mooselax so they will be much improved. I don’t know the east coast elite coaches to well. Mooselax guys seem pretty good and straightforward. Mooselax practices mostly north shore Huntington area. I believe east coast elite is more out east. Best of luck.
Ty very much 💪🏻..
East Coast is a town team at best IMHO ..worse then daddy ball it’s PAL ..Mooselax very similar but they try to recruit talent outside of the town ..play for igloo B ..Two great HS coaches ..or Express B , St Anthony’s head coach..

02 birthday in October is correct for most of the country. NY is one of the few states where the cutoff for entering school is December. Most states are September. So most of the kids with September through December of 02 are just entering freshman year

Express teams are already rostered. I would do Moose over East Coast. Moose is a solid B and should be much improved with the addition of a few Outlaws kids.

Those teams are already set. Tryouts were weeks ago for those teams. Moose directors are good solid guys who seem to care about the kids. Just my opinion.

Express will always add a kid for more money!
Tryouts? 🤦‍♂️ You have a pulse and a check for either club your getting a helmet..
I don't know but Mooselax lost a game to the Rebels who in turn lost to East Coast who in turn also beat Igloo B team..Unless they posted scores in error on Youth lax rankings.. They are all really solid B teams along with Turtles and Empire..
I heard from a friend that team 91 has a new head coach this year. Can anyone confirm this? Would be a good move in my opinion. I like their current 2 coaches as people but they need a leadership change at 2026.

Please don’t choose a B team by the rankings. Inquire about coaching and what you get for your money . Stay away from Rebels, 91, Rush and Empire in my opinion.

Best bang for your buck at all those teams is the Turtles . About 4/5 practices in already. Coach is very very committed.

SMH, too bad they are talking about the 2022 graduating class. So yes, he will turn 19 soon, in the fall of his SR HS year. Then 20 as a college freshman.

That's who I heard was going to coach. I don't know anything about player additions but he's a solid tough coach. That alone should improve them a little.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But aren’t the other 2 coaches dads? If so daddy ball is still alive and well.

I'm correcting you. Your wrong. SL doesn't take any BS and will play the best players and workers. And the two you mention are not some PAL dads as assistants. A college coach and the other is an NCAA champ.
So still dads. You say highly qualified. Many others say biased.......

Yeah, a college coach and an NCAA champ who ran that team into the ground over the years. Let’s call a spade a spade.
US Lacrosse Rankings
2022- 1st 91 Smash
2023- 1st 91 Bandits
2024- 1st 91 Wolfpack
2025- 4th 91 Shock
2026- 43rd 91 Storm

Hmmmm. Shock just won World Series probably should be 1 ...Hard to make such a mess in 2026 ..Half of Express team played or Tried out for Storm 🧐 ..

We will see this fall. Shock was in the tank prior to the last year and they fixed it. 2026 made some much needed improvements this season starting with the head coach and adding/subtracting players. Should have addressed it earlier, but at least they did now. It is true that some top kids tried out for 91 and weren't taken and are on Express now. And the hometown kids they picked over them aren't even on the team anymore. Hence the coaching change.
Shock was never as low as Storm. They were always competitive.

Agreed. Orange storm was a pretty dominant team when younger. We obviously know why that’s not the case anymore. You have to accept what they are at this point. Good team that will lose to top teams. No one that sees significant playing time is going to leave a top team to go play for them.

Please explain Daddy ball to me. If you have a child you can’t be a good coach? This makes no sense to me. Why do you hide behind this? Just say the guy stinks as a coach.

It’s pretty simple. If a dad coaches his sons team he will give his son more playing time regardless of their ability. On occasion their kid may deserve it. But more often than not they don’t As a result you have kids playing a lot but haven’t earned it. As a result you get pissed off parents who eventually leave. Some teams have 7 dad coaches. That’s 7 kids they will get the most playing time regardless of ability. They will also have their kids stay on the top team even if they don’t deserve it.

And all Daddy coaches do this and are bad? Why would anyone what there kid to play for a team coached by Daddies. You would think that there wouldn’t be any Daddy coached teams anymore.

"Daddy" coaches are not the problem. It's the "Daddy" coaches that forget that they are "Coaches" first & "Dad's" second that are the problem. It's not east being at the dinner table explaining to your son/daughter & Wife for that matter why your own kid isn't playing but so it goes. Hit the rebounder, run some 40's, drop the twinkie etc....

Daddy coached kids get the sense of entitlement only when the Coach allows it.

Separate the two and coach your kid like you want your kid to be coached.

Easier said than done but the guys who get it can be great "Daddy" coaches and their kids will benefit much more from that approach.
My 12 yr old is only accepting offers from Cuse and Duke. But first, he has to do 3 years of middle school, 5 years of high school, and a post grad year. He's hoping to go in as a 21 year old freshman so that he can buy beers for all the other incoming freshman.

We're planning on spending 4 years of college tuition cost on travel teams, training, and private schools so that he can get a scholarship to college.

He plays on a daddy ball travel team, but says the coaching stinks. Which is weird because I coach the team. We're thinking about switching to a team where he'll be the 30th best player on the roster because that travel team is really going to help him get into college. It's OK that he'll never play in a tournament because he'll get sweet gear and he'll be able to tell his friends who are better than he is that his team will beat theirs.

That’s 7 kids they will get the most playing time regardless of ability. They will also have their kids stay on the top team even if they don’t deserve it.

Daddy-ball happens in all sports. When I read this I thought someone was writing about my son's former football team with 7 Daddy-ball coaches. A new Daddy-ball coach and his son joined the team. His son played all the positions my son played for the previous years. My son stood on the sidelines and WATCHED football, only got the required 6-8 minimum plays and special team on-off the field plays. The Daddy-ball coaches sons played positions both on offense and defense - taking away opportunities to play from others. The seven Daddy-ball coaches sons also were the team captains week after week (picked by their dads, not by their teammates).

We left the team and joined one in a different league, but first talked to the head coach and the athletic director about Daddy-ball. It's not happening this season and all the boys are being developed and are PLAYING football. So talk to the coaches about the positions their sons play and about Daddy-ball when you choose a new lacrosse team. Don't expect miracles if you don't ask questions up front. The goal is for your son to have fun PLAYING lacrosse, learn how to PLAY lacrosse better, and improve his lacrosse IQ.

Great post. But more accurate to state "We're planning on spending 4 years of college tuition cost on travel teams, training, and private schools so that he can get a "partial" scholarship to college. With Title IX very few schools offer full scholarships for boys who do not play football and basketball. For example in socceri (he sport I played), mens could only offer 9 scholarships. We had 20 guys on scholarship. Yes there were a few full rides (not me) but most received 1/4 or 1/2 scholarships. Chasing after full scholarships in lacrosse in downright silly But this does not stop parents who do not understand the system and cannot actually judge ability talent or desire to think they are producing a scholarship kid. Just let them play and focus on this when they are in 11th grade.

That was an accurate response but I’m pretty confident the original poster was mocking the lax world these days, not looking for a legitimate response. To the original poster.. that was hilarious!

Your mistake is assuming that everyone is chasing a scholarship. I just love lacrosse. I love watching my son play a sport he is passionate about. I enjoy the tournaments with friends. I appreciate that my son works hard and it is fun seeing him develop as a person and an athlete. A scholarship would be icing on the cake, but it is not the end game for everyone.

Exactly. Not every single lacrosse dad is chasing the almighty “scholarship”. Most of us just love to watch a game that our kids love to play. Do we wish it wasn’t so expensive ? Sure. But that’s the beast us parents created. In the end sports has taught my kid many great lessons about life. The best part about travel lacrosse ? The quality time I get to spend with my kid. We’ve had lots of laughs on long car rides and stayed in some pretty crappy hotels. In the end for me it’s money we’ll spent. Regardless if he decides to play in college.

Amen!!! If you are going to pay the cost regardless (and can afford them) god bless and have fun. If you are paying the costs as an "investment" thinking you will see college dollars on the back end, you better be darn sure you kid is one of the top players in the nation at his position and be honest with yourself and get judgment from others that he actually has a shot at doing it. For me, I love the car rides to practices and game. I love watching games, tournaments and practices. For me driving to practice, it is the only time all week that we have one on one time together without siblings and spouses. That truly is priceless and I do it with open eyes that there might never be money for college.

Have fun. Enjoy the ride and know that for our 8th grade kids, we only have five years -- at most - - to spend time going to practices and games.

Could not say it better. Same with our family and our kids who play in boys and girls. Gives my kids alone time with Dad or Mom on the road trips and time will never get back. Time is short before they hopefully go to a good college and maybe lacrosse will help maybe it will not. In the end it is the time with them that will be remembered. good to see there are other parents on here who cherish the right things.
What roster size for the big guns ? 91, Express, Sweetlax, etc. How many kids do they bring to a tournament ?

In my experience, the top teams carry between 25-27 (which is way too many). However, they know they can carry more even if kids do not get playing time because the parents want to brag about playing on a top flight team.

Most second tier teams carry about 20. Because you cannot justify the cost of a second tier team while not get playing team.
Express still tops in 2022? Or will other teams compete? holdbacks are definitely going to change the game this year, IMO. Have teams seen significant roster changes and/or improvements?

I predict holdbacks will be one of the most discussed topics on here next year! Things will def change. It’s becoming the norm. , unfortunately!

Why bring up 2022 on a 2026 thread ? Not to mention holdbacks have been discussed WAY to much on here. Post your question on the 2022 forum.

In 2022, not the class of 2022. Which 2026 team will be tops in this upcoming season? Also, not initiating a moral debate on holdbacks. Simply recognizing that it may change the landscape. I hope you approve of this post Angry Elf.

Pretty sure they're talking about calendar year 21-22 season.
The same teams will be the tops teams. Express, Sweetlax, Hawks, Tigers

What is “a good amount”? Like 3, or their whole team?
My older kid plays for S2S. Good team and getting lots of commits. Younger one plays on a good 26 other team, any feedback on s2s at this age? What is reason s2s won’t become a powerhouse at 26? Thanks.

Ya, like 16 holdbacks making their way from 25 to 26. Forcing all kids to reclass before 9th grade. They will have the best (oldest) team around.

haha so an entire team moved down? remains to be seen whether that will make them the best.
and to think there were complaints about the laxchusetts original set of holdbacks in 2026. what happens to them? 2027?

Express beats s2s by + 18 (being nice)

91 beats s2s by + 10 (give or take)

Igloo beats s2s + 8 (shutout)

The reason is simply that those teams are better. Express is the gold standard with 91 & Igloo not far behind. Every other team on L.I. is a glorified town team with nice helmets. Legacy is off the map and they were next up.

s2s is in the B/C category with the Rebels, Rush, Empire, Outlaws, ECE, and the other glorified town teams. Not sure how good [ChillLaxin] or ROAR is at this level but the top dogs are the top dogs and Express sits alone.

If you want to see where your team stands Coach C will set up a scrimmage and you'll know pretty quick. Glad that your sons team is getting commits but reality will set in quickly when the first wave of Express hits them. It's a mans game now. Be ready.

Express was scheduled to play the Rebels in a Delaware tournament last weekend. After Express was 2-0 and the Rebels were 0-2 in the tourney the schedule quickly changed so they wouldn't play each other. I guess the tournament director (Rebels owner) changed his mind seeing a blowout was in order.

Yes express would have easily crushed the Rebels. But based on the results of the first 2 games it was guaranteed to have express CoachC vs express jersey in the final. So they changed the 3rd game and had CoachC play jersey for the “final”. This way everyone could hit the road for a four hour plus drive.

The reason is simply that those teams are better. Express is the gold standard with 91 & Igloo not far behind. Every other team on L.I. is a glorified town team with nice helmets. Legacy is off the map and they were next up.

s2s is in the B/C category with the Rebels, Rush, Empire, Outlaws, ECE, and the other glorified town teams. Not sure how good [ChillLaxin] or ROAR is at this level but the top dogs are the top dogs and Express sits alone.

If you want to see where your team stands Coach C will set up a scrimmage and you'll know pretty quick. Glad that your sons team is getting commits but reality will set in quickly when the first wave of Express hits them. It's a mans game now. Be ready.

Express was scheduled to play the Rebels in a Delaware tournament last weekend. After Express was 2-0 and the Rebels were 0-2 in the tourney the schedule quickly changed so they wouldn't play each other. I guess the tournament director (Rebels owner) changed his mind seeing a blowout was in order.

Yes express would have easily crushed the Rebels. But based on the results of the first 2 games it was guaranteed to have express CoachC vs express jersey in the final. So they changed the 3rd game and had CoachC play jersey for the “final”. This way everyone could hit the road for a four hour plus drive.

Literally everyone there knew that would be the outcome. Why not schedule it that way from the start?

Probably because express didn’t want to play each other in pool play unless it was a championship. Scheduling is not easy.

Exactly. If it wasn’t done that way express jersey would be tied with another team at 2-1 in pool play.
Jersey Express is not that good. Only reason why they advanced to bracket at World Series is because Coach C made sure they were in same pool as LI express along with 4 really bad teams. BBL, LE and Towermen would probably all beat Jersey Express pretty easily.

Coach C has nothing to do with the WS or Jersey express's bracket. Good try though.

I would agree with this assessment. Express and 91 are top dogs. After that I would include Legacy with S2S and Igloo. Then Rebels, ECE, Turtles, Empire, Etc.
That is the lamest excuse I've ever heard!. Rebels just didn't want to be embarrassed. When you come to a tournament, you come to play period! No matter who the team is on your schedule....I remember a Rebel post from a short while back that they were going to be a force to reckon with. So much for that...

You must be a 91 dad. If you have seen that team play the last couple of years, there is no way you would consider them a top dog. Legacy would get crushed by S2S and igloo at this age.

Ok, not a 91 dad or Legacy dad. Express and 91 I would consider the best 2026 team on Long Island. Legacy I would think is better than Rebels, ECE, Turtles, Empire etc. would this be correct ?

91 is a disaster. Legacy and those other teams you mention shouldn't even be in the conversation. I'd say Igloo is number 2. A soft number 2.

Coach C has nothing to do with the WS or Jersey express's bracket. Good try though.

You think it was coincidence? It is a known fact that the WS reaches out to program directors for feedback on the pools well before the event. That is not even a secret. Regardless, Jersey Express is probably the 4th best team in NJ at 2026. At best.
Legacy is to be determined....They were a disaster last season and wouldn't expect anything different season. Just a glorified town team...

Giving feed back and "making sure" are 2 different things. He has no more influence over bracket setup than the other local coaches for the event. As far as you ranking them #4 in the state i'd say that makes them a pretty decent team. I wouldn't say "Jersey Express is not that good". Enjoy your weekend of ranking 8th grade teams.

Fair to say JE is downright terrible. At this age Towermen, BBL, LE, true are way better. Maybe patriot, riot, lakers are even or better. Any of the talent at 2026 or 2025 left last summer.

You clearly don’t follow this age group. JE, BBL and LE all competed at a similar level last year while Towerman was the best team in NJ, but not by a wide margin. TBD on this year as little to no games have been played by most teams

It's actually comical how much older the Jersey goalie is. Looks like he's 25. Plays like he's 10 though.
So how often is your team practicing this fall? And how many tournaments are you playing?

Practice 2 days, two tournaments and some scrimmages.

Their rank will likely correct itself as they play more teams.

1X/week, 2 tournaments. That's impressive that you can get 2 practices in. Lots of kids missing for football and soccer?

2x week practice
5 tournaments

It's understood that they play multiple sports. In our case we're able to make practice after football. A handful of kids show up late or not at all.
Overall pretty good turnout.

Express beats s2s by + 18 (being nice)

91 beats s2s by + 10 (give or take)

Igloo beats s2s + 8 (shutout)

The reason is simply that those teams are better. Express is the gold standard with 91 & Igloo not far behind. Every other team on L.I. is a glorified town team with nice helmets. Legacy is off the map and they were next up.

s2s is in the B/C category with the Rebels, Rush, Empire, Outlaws, ECE, and the other glorified town teams. Not sure how good [ChillLaxin] or ROAR is at this level but the top dogs are the top dogs and Express sits alone.

If you want to see where your team stands Coach C will set up a scrimmage and you'll know pretty quick. Glad that your sons team is getting commits but reality will set in quickly when the first wave of Express hits them. It's a mans game now. Be ready.

Express was scheduled to play the Rebels in a Delaware tournament last weekend. After Express was 2-0 and the Rebels were 0-2 in the tourney the schedule quickly changed so they wouldn't play each other. I guess the tournament director (Rebels owner) changed his mind seeing a blowout was in order.

Yes express would have easily crushed the Rebels. But based on the results of the first 2 games it was guaranteed to have express CoachC vs express jersey in the final. So they changed the 3rd game and had CoachC play jersey for the “final”. This way everyone could hit the road for a four hour plus drive.
Was CoachC in Delaware? I thought he was in Jersey???
They have played in DE and NJ

You again. The “didn’t even qualify” Towermen finished the summer 6th in the nation. 5th if you don’t include the True National team who didn’t play a single game vs a team in the top 5. But yeah, they stink because they didn’t even qualify. You are the definition of sour grapes.

Express just beat 3DNE 18-2. They are definitely not a top 15 team

Express North made it to the finals of the NLF this past summer. I assume they improved their roster at tryouts. Seems like they would be in the conversation.
Is it possible to have to much talent on one team that it affects the recruiting process for its players ?

Why would that happen? I would think the answer is no. But I am interested in the reason for your question.

Answer: No. it will only get them more exposure.

Agree, they should be in the place of 3D on that list.

Nice caddy shack reference. The nuk who said Towermen lost in qualifiers (they went 3-2 actually) is still sour grapes and it how well they did at the actual World Series (5-2) compare you their kid’s team.

NCAA has teams who qualify by winning their conference tournaments and also teams who get an at large bid based on overall record and strength of schedule. World Series did it the same way this year because they wanted the best 24 teams they could get and Canada bowed out due to Covid. So saying a team didn’t qualify and still got in is fine with me.

Express North 2026 used 2025 players at NLF. Not holdbacks. True 2025 players. And some from outside their own club. Cheated. Well know, documented. Almost were removed from tournament because of it. That is not a team.

Yes they should have been. It was actively discussed. But the damage to the Express brand as well as the NLF must have been too much for the powers at be to disqualify, especially once they made the final. Which they did, by the way, after beating Express LI in the semis.
Didn’t 3D New England just get spanked by Express 18-2 two weeks ago? What happened? They were claiming the were all that?

Most teams carry 24-26 kids and most club coaches will mainly play their top kids in highly competitive games . So how does this help the 10-8 players that sit on the bench get exposure?

Playing time is another concern. If your son is getting meaningful minutes on a team with lots of talent then it is a positive. If your son isn’t getting meaningful minutes, he should consider moving to a team that will get him on the field more.

You also cannot underestimate the importance of club connections. Who does your coach know, and will he place a call for your son if needed?

Yes. With COVID some teams were lucky to get in to 24. The top 4 teams would still be in even without the hey COVID and even though you would not have made it in in a normal year you are in. The Jersey and my qualifiers was where the real competition was anyway.

If you are a top kid you don’t need a call. It is players 15 to 24 that need to really think about staying.

Express runs the NLF. There was no disqualification because there are no rules. Either way, the team was and will likely be pretty good and should be in the discussion as a top team.

Who cares it is over Express won time to move on folks . It’s a new season
4 pools of 6 teams. Top 2 teams from each pool advance to quarters.
I second that...The World Series is old news. Towerman qualified because of the International Teams not attending. Please move on and stop looking to be relevant. It's a new season! Keep practicing like everyone else and bring it to the field...
Which Laxachusetts teams were in Devens this weekend? Does the black team still exist? Were kids missing for football, hockey, etc?

Were they claiming they were all that? I just thought they were ranked high and no one really understood why.
What's the story with the Legacy Columbus Day tournament? 2 separate divisions for 2026, with Legacy and Rebels in the B Division, while Moose and True Blue in the A Division. I wonder why they set it up like that?

Pretty sure it’s the opposite. Express has three teams and the bottom team is in the bracket withTB. Also the tournament is still advertising for one more 2026 B team to sign up.

No it’s a C team ! Express has A,B and C . AAA is a travel hockey term. Clubs tell you this to make B team parents feel better and to get more money out of you . So Express B and C team will be at this tournament! And yes Express does have the best A team in the country!
Towerman lost, I’m mean did not qualify. Only got in due to Covid restrictions

Probably a troll not an A parent. Most aren't that obnoxious.
LI Express historically had 3 teams in the 2026 age group:

1) CoachC
2) Weiczorek - Black
3) Weiczorek - Orange

CoachC won the WSYL. Black and Orange were typical B teams.

I've heard that Express would move players up and down, across teams at different tourneys, but now, they have an openly mixed team registered in the Columbus Day tourney called "LI Express CoachC/Weiczorek".

Nothing to discuss. You're on the outside trying to look in. Don't be a creep. The parents & boys involved know what they're getting.

Coach C always mixes A/C players for his third team. This is because he doesn’t have enough C players to make a full team but still wants the parents money. Trust us no one is jealous.

Who said anything about AAA? We're talking about the bracket the teams are in for the Columbus Day tournament. We said 2nd and 3rd team.
Why do you feel the need to classify a team that clearly has nothing to do with you.
Move on.

Exactly. Lot of conjecture for parents who claim to not care or believe in Express.
Want to know what's really going on?
Call CoachC. He'll tell you.
He'll also invite your kid down to a practice.
Why is that so threatening? Because he's always working every angle to make his team/s better?
Where is the fault in that? Isn't that what club lacrosse is about?

Where is the fault in that? Isn't that what club lacrosse is about?


That is a great question. Club lacrosse can certainly be about working every angle to make the team better (win more). It can also be about picking a team at the tryout and developing the players on the team. I prefer the latter but many people prefer the former. It is just 2 different approaches.

Spoke to a parent from 91 today and his response was "not my decision but why go to Delaware just to get our butts kicked in?" Gotta say I can't blame the team. Either not the most talented team or major coaching errors years ago.
91's game plan has been beat up on weaker teams = Better for the brand. How they were ranked #42 last season is beyond me. They went 2-4 at the WSYL, goes to show how good they are at a national level.

Even worse record when it comes to NLF events.
Reguardless of what anybody says, if you are on a top 91 team by 11th grade you will get committed to D1!

You're incorrect though.

Someone with a lot of injuries?
WhT happened to the goalie ? He used to be good , or was it that his defense was good?
Has anyone seen or heard from the S2S 2026 Raiders? Never see them at tournaments anymore local or away. Do they just enter summer tournaments?

The 91 goalie? He's still good. Everyone else has caught up to him though. Seems like most goalies are pretty equivalent at this age. Of course there are a couple that may be slightly better but overall pretty even now.

Surprised no Tigers at this one. Usually when all these teams get together the Tigers would be included. Not bashing them, they're a great team. Another tournament somewhere?

Isn’t Blatant a 91 run tourney?

Their team was gutted due to years of poor coaching decisions and no willingness to admit their mistakes and make changes. That isn’t the fault of those boys. Hopefully last year was a wake-up call for 91 and they made some improvements. Better late than never. Some holdbacks may deliver much needed help. Btw, coming on here and bashing a particular kid in a particular position is the lowest form of intelligence. You clearly lack any self-awareness, so let me tell you this, “You’re a bad person.” Now you know. Feedback is a gift.

Not a 91 parent, but I wish those boys well.

It's football season and lacrosse really doesn't matter right now. Have fun driving, paying the tolls, and sleeping in a bedbug infested filth trap to play boring lacrosse that is only making money off of you for other people. So go exhaust yourself and your kid for a sport that is basically irrelevant in 3/4's of the country.
Agreed, leave the boys out of it! They want nothing more than to play! I do blame the parents for continuing to drink the 91 Kool Aid. Plenty of other good teams to play for. Daddy ball doesn't work well.

Yet here you are, on a lacrosse forum, spending your time talking about it… if you’re not going; why do you care? And if you haven’t been paying attention, lacrosse is exploding across the country.

Yes!! Thank you for proving my point SD. This is fun. Keep them coming.
Hope the Hawks kid makes a quick recovery. Someone said he was back on the sidelines for their last game. Quick turnaround and tough kid!

NO ligament or tendon damage. Knee cap was completely dislocated. Ive never seen a knee cap go that far over on the outside upper portion of the knee. He will be in a brace for awhile and heading for PT
Thoughts & Prayers & a speedy recovery! detest seeing these kids get hurt!

Saw 91 Orange Storm play this past weekend. They look much improved definitely a AA team. No my kid is not on the team.

What happened to the Hawks? Haven't seen them give up that many or score so few in a long time.
How did 3D New England keep the games with the Chucks and Upstate so close this weekend? Stack the team with repeats?
91 will not beat the Hawks. 91 will continue to play the B circuit and beat up on weaker teams. They can not and will not compete with the top teams. Bad for the brand to get smoked by the likes of the Tigers, Hawks, Express, 3D, Sweetlax and the list goes on...If hey were that good, they would have been in Delaware this past weekend instead of playing a B tournament on Long Island.
I’m sure they are all not 13 either.It would be great to see kids play up not down.Let’s go 2026!!

You can stop riding the jock of the Hawks. Pretty obvious that is over now that they need coaching instead of having bigger kids. Facts are facts and it's in the results from the last year. Daddy's boy is done at X

Hawks had 6 kids not suit up and one taken to the hospital. Let's revisit this post in the spring and summer where tournaments actually mean something. NAL and NLF cant wait

When Hawks are soon forced to play with shot clock wide margin losses will be brutal and every game. Turtle stall ball dont work. Lucky to come in top 5 in HOCO this year.

There were A and B levels at that tournament just no AA. They
played in the A bracket and easily destroyed everyone. The team is definitely improved, They recruited and have many new players. No reason to jump into a AA bracket when this would have been the first time the team has played together and kids are still learning the plays etc. Smart move on the coaches decision. They definitely have AA talent. That’s for sure.

FYI - this exact quote was said last year as well (minus the injured boy that i'm sorry to hear about). It was the same results.

It's people like you that perpetuate the need and desire for AA designations. You know what it really means? They'll charge you more money calling something AA for an A level program. Stop calling it AA, A and B. It's A or B, that's it
I just learned that our organization may cancel or modify our winter training due mostly to players vaccination status. The facility happens be in NYC under the mandate. At this age all children are eligible. People are actually angry with the director's for not finding an alternate facility. Too bad. Here's is my 2 cents. Its a choice, yes, but if NYC mandates you must be vaccinated and you are not, than STHU about it and stay home. Those that chose to be vaccinated will be happy to attend with you. Again you made your choice now stop crying about it.

The Trumpers are going to storm your house, lol. I was also shocked at how few kids and parents are vaccinated on our team. Even more puzzling is there are quite a few teachers who refuse to vaccinate. I guess when your idea of a good time is strolling the sidelines of games and practices screaming with red solo cup in hand, being rational is too much to ask.

Hey man, I didn’t come up with these designations. Someone did but it ain’t me. The fact is there are A and B tournaments and AA.
A team 91 parent living in denial! You played in a B Tournament. If you wanted to play in an A Tournament, you would have been in Delaware this weekend! If you are that good, you should have put up 15+ goals per game or more in the tournament you played in. Being ranked #42 as of September 2, 2021 is no threat to anyone. The top teams have no problem playing you and are up to any challenge. That's just how they are. They play whom ever is put in front of them. Until you play a team outside a B bracket and win, best you say nothing! Say less and play more...

Great idea, lets waste an entire weekend driving in/out DE to play a meaningless tournament when half our athletes are still playing football. You've got it all figured out.
Oh, it's the old football excuse....Middle school is Monday-Friday. Many of the boys play both. So obviously the missing kids on your team are hold backs, re-classed or in high school. What was the excuse for the spring season and the World Series. Football!

Nah. Whole team there except for a couple, no reclasses this year. Just a gritty tough team. Gave LIE their only game this weekend and pushed them to the end. Should have beat Sweetlax. Will be a top 4 team next spring and summer.
Not a 91 dad, but I watched the 2026 Team play this weekend. It's a much better team than the spring/summer. They cleaned up against a decent Legacy team, a decent Moose team, and a bad Express team. From what I saw, they are back into the top 3 on Long Island. But they are still nowhere near CoachC 2026. Tough to say how they will fare against the top 10 in the nation, but its an improved team.
If half of your team does not attend your winter training,Im sure you still want them to pay for your son’s
training?
Maybe you should STFU and let your team sort it out. Plenty of better places to train than in Queens.
Oh and yes I’m vaccinated.

MD doesnt have middle school football. We play county ball where games are on the weekend and not run by the school system.

You're "not a 91 dad" but you watched them play 3 games? No, you ARE a 91 dad. They are hardly better than they have been in the past. They are not a good team.
Congratulations Team 91! You ruled the Blatant Tournament this past weekend. Keep playing in B Tournaments and you will continue to be the power house you think you are. US Club Lax Rankings as of September 2, 2021: Legacy #124, Moose Lax #141, Rebels Inferno #191, LILC #143, Rush #247, Express Black #155, Express Orange #201 & True Blue #154. Come back and let everyone how good you are when you decide to play in competitive tournaments and beat competitive teams.

Maybe you should continue to stay in your trailer claiming you can't pay rent while collecting your SS stipend because you're unvaccinated. Make lacrosse great again

Most have already heard this is Igloo. The director waited until he collected their 1st installment before letting people know about the requirement. Yes, NYC requires... however, the director (and everyone else) knew that in advance and chose not to throw it on the parents until afterwards. Then, on top of that, he asked parents to complete a survey asking if they were, weren't or planned to get vaxxed before they start indoor. Vax or no vax (we're vaxxed), it's someone's choice and, if someone hasn't chosen to have their 12-15 kid vaxxed at this point, they shouldn't feel the need to do so for indoor lacrosse training just because its in NYC limits.

They've been practicing same spot for years. You are correct it's a choice. No vax no winter training, it's that simple.
Pretty simple, find a facility outside NYC regulations....

Like I said, all vaccinated.Finances? That’s what we’re doing? Well teammate I don’t recall too many whales on the sidelines. Keep spewing your detest. Situation is still team was not transparent about it when they had the chance to be.
Lacrosse is great. Little Joe.

Maybe you should STFU and let your team sort it out. Plenty of better places to train than in Queens.

16,000 vaccinated fans in person at MSG to watch the Knicks last night and you can't get the shot. Wake up, you don't get vaccinated for yourself you do it for others.

Your the hammerhead, and a selfish ignoramus. The scourge of society. Allowing diseases to incubate and mutate because you won’t get vaccinated for your fellow human beings! Selfish fool, keep drinking your “Qoolaid”

Saw them play at Columbus Day tourney. Decent squad, made up of a bunch of kids from other teams. Recognized a few from Igloo, S2S, and RVC. Seems like it may just be a tournament team or side gig. Definitely some good players but also a few others who may not even get time on B teams.

Like I said in all posts before. We are vaccinated. Have been since the beginning as first responders and essential workers were first to be eligible.
Stop with the sissy stuff. Read before you post.
Nobody is practicing at Alley Pond.
Insulting your own team parents is ridiculous.
If you feel that strongly, say something to them on the sidelines. Disgusting. Petty. It’s irrelevant.

A womens lacrosse player lost her life in a "tragic accident" this week. Instead of bashing each other and worrying about the small stuff like rankings, etc... We should take a step back and remember what's truly important.

You're a disgusting individual. This forum should have been shutdown years ago due to the personal attacks on children but this post crosses so many lines it's despicable. Whoever posted the above I hope and pray that you never have to deal with the loss of a child because you deserve it. Whoever moderates this site shame on you for allowing this filth to actually make it on here. Take this nonsense down.

Agree, that human is despicable! But, disagree the forum should be shutdown because of fools like that. There is a lot of good information and discussion on the forum as well. You will always have losers spewing hateful things in life. That will never change! They have to live with themselves and the maker will judge!
Freedom of speech and expression.
Wow, great lineup at Tristar. Venom playing 2way, Express North, and Long Island Express! Someone should alert the Maryland dad who does the rankings.
once again I will say. Express is clearly the best team in Long Island, that is their top AA team. They have shown that their other teams are Ok at Best. no different then most teams. The Express AA team is not great due to anything more then their marketing machine. Each and every year they poach players that have been developed on other teams to be on their team making it stronger. So lets stop bashing all the other teams in Long Island because they are essential to Express AA successes. Past Express, Igloo and 91 are the next level. Then there is another rung down for some other teams, then probably the full B teams. Which is fine, because as I said look at where all the new guys that Express Igloo and 91 poach they come from all the other teams, and then some express rejects who dont want to be on their B and C teams, go and play in another org. The only thing that sorts this out is the marketing. Express happens to be the best at it, and 91 is right there with them. All the others are second tier marketers and if they dont have the money and infrastructure around them they fail, like FLG.

Express is the best at this age level because they deliver the best product. Period. The amount of lacrosse that the team plays is head and shoulders above the other programs. They have already played in more games since September than most other programs play in an entire year. Facts. The kids work their tails off and get better. It isn’t a happy accident.

Express passed a team like the Hawks when they decided coaching and skill is more important then watching the coaches son go back and forth at X doing nothing.
Everyone sees Hawks and Rage for what they have become but for Hogan and Rage. Rage spends every game trying to push, yell and will #1 to be the star of the Hawk’s declining offense. Meanwhile the Crabs went 6 0 this weekend with a 63 goal differential. Changing of the guard in MD coming as playing the best players available overshadows let’s try to run another clear out from x for the same guy.

Unfortunately the parents don’t realize only the top 11 chosen children will be recruited to the top colleges . If you think your child is on the cusp you should start looking for a program that your kid will get his chance to be seen! If he plays on the AA team he already has what it takes but just has to get the chance to be seen. No one see's the kids sitting on the bench. 3,2,1 let’s hear the comments from the one same Express arrogant dad.

Maybe leave mention of specific kids out of your post?? Just a thought. No need to call out a 13/14 year old kid.

[ChillLaxin] about lacrosse, they just get the best talent. Pure and Simple. Past many of there top teams at each grade level. Express is garbage. It was funny watching Express dads at Blatant, being all upset that their team was getting its butt kicked by 91 and some how thinking that wasn't going to happen because these Express B kids were someone great because they were once on the AA team and got rejected down. Laughable.
Don’t forget Express getting better with newly added 25s. Joining the holdback party post WSYL and adding to already good team.

Who you play matters when you spout off about how dominant you are in a fall ball tournament. If you want to be relevant and earn respect you should start playing tournaments against real competition. You're not going to get it by trashing teams or kids on this board.
Top 5 teams on Long Island right now as per fall ?

Express AA
91 Orange Storm
Legacy ?
Igloo
Mooselax ?
Express AA is the top obviously because they took the top talent,
after that is 91 and Igloo, they are fairly close.

then after that it is a garbage shoot. Legacy and Moose showed they couldn't hang with 91, they wouldn't really with igloo either, although I think 91 is a click higher then igloo.

Legacy and the rest are after that, ECE, Turtles, Etc.

Laughable.

The only thing that is laughable is 91 bragging about beating a B team. Oh, and didn’t 91 have two fly-in kids that play for other teams in the south? I guess that isn’t poaching talent, though.

Which is fine, because as I said look at where all the new guys that Express Igloo and 91 poach they come from all the other beteams, and then some express rejects who dont want to be on their B and C teams, go and play in another org. The only thing that sorts this out is the marketing. Express happens to be the best at it, and 91 is right there with them. All the others are second tier marketers and if they dont have the money and infrastructure around them they fail, like FLG.

Express is the best at this age level because they deliver the best product. Period. The amount of lacrosse that the team plays is head and shoulders above the other programs. They have already played in more games since September than most other programs play in an entire year. Facts. The kids work their tails off and get better. It isn’t a happy accident.

[ChillLaxin] about lacrosse, they just get the best talent. Pure and Simple. Past many of there top teams at each grade level. Express is garbage. It was funny watching Express dads at Blatant, being all upset that their team was getting its butt kicked by 91 and some how thinking that wasn't going to happen because these Express B kids were someone great because they were once on the AA team and got rejected down. Laughable.

The only thing that is laughable is 91 bragging about beating a B team. Oh, and didn’t 91 have two fly-in kids that play for other teams in the south? I guess that isn’t poaching talent, though.

Could be wrong but I believe there were only 3 kids on the Express B team that were once on the A team. But keep bragging about beating that B team 91 dad. Express A would absolutely make you cry if they played. 91 won’t let that happen though.
no question that express AA would beat 91, no one was arguing that. But express b is not good and they took losses like crazy and were beaten like a drum, so stop making it like they are so good. And the argument can't go back to their AA team as we acknowledged they are the best in the country probably. So what is the point. Express takes the money of those B team kids like they are better then they would be, but its just not true, they might as well be on the rebels.

Losses like crazy? What are you talking about? Are you following them around?
Maybe you're a fan.

No one said that the B express team is an A team. The conversation was that 91 isn’t a good team. Are you actually comparing 91 to the express B team?? The organizations 2nd team. Actually taking pride in playing in a B tournament!! Laughable. Pat yourself on the back buddy. You’re paying A team prices to play in B talent tournaments.

I find it funny that 91 dad always pounds his chest when they beat B teams. The question remains as to why they weren’t in Delaware with all the other AA teams. Rhetorical question I suppose.
not a 91 dad, just an observer. the express dads were on the side disappointed they were getting their jerks beat by 91. stomping feet, etc. what did they think was going to happen. 91 team which is much stronger beat the express B team. it was laughable watching the express parents feel like just because they were wearing express helmets like somehow that was going to help them. They were obliterated. So yes you are right, maybe 91 wouldn't have fared well down in Delaware, dont know, but to think express B thought they had a chance against 91 is like I said, laughable.

I am sure the AA team will get a chance to maybe beat up on 91 at some point, but express has to stop with there ridiculousness like they think these other teams are so good, they are no better then any of the other teams.
91 Orange, supposedly the #2 team on LI, beats the express B team 9-2 (just looked up score on tourney machine). I’d say that’s not beating a drum or a laughable game. I’d think the #2 team on the island should win more like 15 or 20-2. But that’s just me. A team vs a B team should show a little more domination. I will admit that I’ve seen 91 play in a previous game and they look a little better than last year. Maybe credit to the new coach.

Don’t believe the Hype about Express B. They are just another B team with parents that have high hopes of coach C moving them up.

Really? 91 teams have always strutted with that we are best attitude starting with 91 Exreme on down. . Remember 2020 Crush and the self proclaimed best club team ever motto. It’s all good, boast on, and people shouldn’t take so seriously…

“Not a 91 dad”. So you’re just a creep watching an 8th grade game when all other 8th grade teams were playing. You’re probably on a list that’s outlawed from being near school grounds. Nasty human.

Disappointed and stomping feet!?? LOLLL.y son plays on the Express B team and I can assure you that was not the case. It was plenty of discussion as to why 91 Orange Storm, a supposed A team, was playing in a supposed B team tournament. I congratulate your son on his championship sir. Enjoy your season.

Why should their be discussed 91 Storm are what they are, likely the 2nd or 3rd best team on Long Island. I can tell you who is not the 5th best team on Long Island and that is the Express B team. That in itself is laughable. and 9-2 is really a blowout. People who feel the need to drop a 19-2 on someone are just butt. Both teams get nothing out of that.
Rainy day on Saturday for Tri-Star tourney. I think Mitchell field cancels games during heavy rain if i'm not mistaken.

I wasn’t going to bring it up but yes, you’re on to something.
The answer is the majority of the goals.

Maybe there is a plan B? I’m just happy the schedule came out earlier than most do.
Looks like Tristar has been postponed due to incoming weather. That blows but at least decided before folks made the trek out to LI.
Does that get rescheduled, or do the teams get refunds. Or do they just lose their Fee?
91 is and has been one of the most inconsistent teams I have ever seen. They should be an A team, but they can’t compete with A teams at this point. They have some good players and I can say at least 2 great coaches, don’t know anything about the 3rd. Express AA would not maybe beat them up, they would absolutely destroy them. Let’s not waste our breath pretending that team is not #1 on LI by a long shot…hands down, no question. There was no stomping of feet by Express B parents. This is a comment from a troll, maybe a parent whose kid used to play for one of the Express teams and is a little bitter about how the B team is doing. Express B is a good B team. There is excellent coaching and consistency. They have added some great players this year and dropped some others. I think they have the potential to compete with or beat the 91 team in the Spring if 91 does not improve.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH, I maybe could read through the post and at least it sounded like you had some sense, but two facts. One a lot of Foot Stomping going on, and 2, you are absolutely dreaming that the B team will ever come close to beating 91, just foolish drivel. Yes you are right they may beat them as soon as CoachC brings 5 of his AA guys to blend in, that is his classic move so he can say how amazing his B team is. Stop Kidding yourself, you are probably the foot Stomper.
Team 91 is weak bro. Only elite team in LI for 2026 is LIE and everyone knows that.

Legacy and the rest are after that, ECE, Turtles, Etc.

Express didn’t “take” top talent. Top talent went to them.
Sounds like your kid didn’t make the Express A or B team? Or possibly sat the bench for a season or 2? There are 0 Coach C kids going back and forth between the teams. The teams have changed over the years, yes. According to some other parents in this forum, sounds like 91 was the filling in with other kids that aren’t on their team? I am amazed at how jacked up you are. I mean, your typed out laughter has a shining vibe.
2nd team on LI playing in a B tournament?

Hopefully bashing a B team makes you feel better about how lousy the 91 A team is. Think about that. You bash a programs 2nd team in an attempt to make your A team sound better. Who does that except a 91 Orange parent?

Must be good for the brand. Don't let it get out that it was a B tournament and 91 looks good. Either that or it's just to make the parents happy that their sons team didn't lose every game this season yet.

I would say 91 is not weak. but I would say that LIE AA is indisputable as the best team on Long Island and likely the country as the best talent does come out of Long Island.

Not a 91 parent. I see nothing wrong with them wanting to get some confidence and playing in that division. Maybe it gives them a little confidence when they clearly go against the much stronger teams. Express B is not one of those strong teams. And the Express B parents can make themselves feel better that they are shelling out big bucks on a product they can get anywhere. Its sad.

1. The price we are paying is comparable to the other large clubs on LI.
2. I didn't realize that you could get Nationally ranked HS coaching anywhere. Please point me in that direction!
3. Do you realize that this B team everyone is so bent about, has already had 4 tournaments and practices a minimum of 2x a week.
4. So what 91 beat them. With all their chest thumping, they better have beat them. Especially with their guest stars. You knock C for bringing players, at least they play for the club and don't show up with different helmets. Any team can be beat on any day. To think there's absolutely no chance that another team could be competitive is just ignorant.
5. It still amazes me at how many of you are so concerned with how we spend our money. Would you also like to manage my investments?

I agree that LIE is currently the best 2026 team around. I do have a hard time agreeing with the best talent coming from LI, at least at 26. If that were the case, why is there such a drop off from them to the #2 LI team? NC, NJ, MD, and Mass all have multiple teams ranked ahead of the 2nd ranked LI team. This has been debated on here in the past. A quick scroll down some top rosters will show you that there is way more geographical diversity on the top rosters than you think. It is not the 1990s anymore. The game has grown.

They are currently the best team because they have the best player at the most important position in the game. We've seen that without him, they drop down a notch or two.

That and coaching. Express appears to park daddy ball at the door for the sake of development and winning.

Regardless of how good each of the Express teams actually is they do seem to do a good job of getting the kids playing alot. Lots of practices and tournaments - it's impressive. I think B teams usually get "short changed" but it sounds like Express is committed to getting the B team playing alot.
I am not sure if that is the case. There are some kids/parents that have been with the team from the start. They know they won in a B tournament. I don’t think they have a false sense of pride with that. They know the team is inconsistent and that it does have a lot of potential…even with losing some decent kids. We all know how it goes, season to season these teams drastically improve or drastically fall apart. I think there is potential for 91 to do better, but I also think there is a lot of potential for Express B team to improve and compete with 91.

Dream on Express B parent, feel better about the 40 G you invested all along, and then got demoted. You could have paid your kids freshman year college tuition. The team is a B team no better then any of these other B teams and there are a million of them, and its a good thing that their are because Express AA would have no one to pouch from these other teams. There is a reason that Coke sells the most soda and it has nothing to do with what's in the drink. Marketing. Marketing Marketing, and Express has the Market corned on that. 91 is Also experts at this but that is why they are virtually 1-2 at every age group on the island, only comes down to who sells the best kids parents better. I can tell you that Rebels or FLg or any of the others are not selling to the top kids like Express or 91.

How does it feel paying 91 A team prices and actually being on a B team though?
WSYL just announced they are no longer having the event.
No different than Team 91 paying A team prices and playing in B tournaments...All the teams they played in the Blatant Tournament and dominated, there was not one team amongst them that was ranked lower than 124. To be exact the rankings of the teams that played were from 124-247. So if that's where you want to play, be my guest. I think anyone that left the team, left for a reason and saw the writing on the wall.

Wrong. There were no insults hurled at the creator of the games our kids play.
The WSYL packed it in. I guess they couldn't handle the white trash and the fact that nobody cares about lacrosse. Keep spending the money and yelling "wheels." Nobody cares.

Lacrosse just became that much more irrelevant.

Yelling wheels. That was funny.

We all know how it goes, season to season these teams drastically improve or drastically fall apart. I think there is potential for 91 to do better, but I also think there is a lot of potential for Express B team to improve and compete with 91.

Dream on Express B parent, feel better about the 40 G you invested all along, and then got demoted. You could have paid your kids freshman year college tuition. The team is a B team no better then any of these other B teams and there are a million of them, and its a good thing that their are because Express AA would have no one to pouch from these other teams. There is a reason that Coke sells the most soda and it has nothing to do with what's in the drink. Marketing. Marketing Marketing, and Express has the Market corned on that. 91 is Also experts at this but that is why they are virtually 1-2 at every age group on the island, only comes down to who sells the best kids parents better. I can tell you that Rebels or FLg or any of the others are not selling to the top kids like Express or 91.

How does it feel paying 91 A team prices and actually being on a B team though?

Guess it feels the same as all teams other then Express AA.
I have to disagree with “product you can get anywhere”. Express coaches and training for the A and B teams is superior. They practice 2x a week year round with 3-6 coaches at every practice. The coaches have brought winning teams to the WSYL and run top high school programs. That can not be said for other programs, including 91. These are coaches, not Dads. You get what you pay for.

Facts. I just wish they would do this with all grades and limit the roster size.

It can be said for 91 skippy. Probably the best goalie who ever played and championship winning coach, a college D1 coach practicing 2x a week. I’ll take that over CoachC$$ any day. See you in DE.

This is true. My kids play but as a father of a Princeton face off kid said. You can buy the PLL for 7k.

It is a dead end sport.
Express has the 2026, 91 has the 2027 grade. But they both are marketing geniuses and ahead of everyone else in this regard. There is a pecking order and kids are just flowing up there. Has nothing to do with the express and 91 coaches. There are plenty of amazing lacrosse coaches in Long Island. People are chasing a dream and express and 91 are cashing in on it. Good for them.

not true

I am agreeing with the Not true guy. Some of the dad coaches are some of the very best in the business. I much rather have an astute mind of the game dad coach, instead of some washed up bum guy who didn't even play in college, and is a substitute teacher, and wants to make some extra dough.
My 8th grade (2026) son is interested in playing travel- obviously we are late to the game. If anyone knows of a LI program that needs a defenseman please let me know. Been playing for 2 years at this position. Thanks.
East coast Elite great spot to learn the game with no expectations, good coaching, kids have fun .not crazy on Wallet.. low level B ..my son loves it
Wow low level B. I guess turtles igloo B or rebels must be C teams then? Or are you a s2s or Legacy parent that thinks your kid is on AA when they are maybe A or possibly B. Many teams overrated in there own minds because of the parents. Unfortunately. Really there are only 3 AA teams on LI and maybe 2 A. After that rebels ECE turtles igloo b are all battling for top of the B’s. We will see how that ends up in June or July.

Would have been great if 91 had this coach a few years ago. Maybe he could have stopped the mass implosion that happened last year.

If I remember ECE had a huge turnout at tryouts and could have made two teams but instead cut it to 1. They should be good.

Outside of LI, it’s AA, A, and B. Kinda dense but that is how they set up the tourney divisions. I guess nobody wants to play for a C team. BTW, LIE Coach C is the only AA team on LI for 2026 right now. They will beat the next best LI team by 10.

HAHAHAHAAHHA this is actually really funny Shore 2 Shore Dad, maybe if you stopped playing in B tournaments to feel good about yourself and actually won a game in A tournament someone could take you serious. But losing constantly is bad for the brand so jump in those second divisions like at Tri Star. Pathetic.

He’s probably talking about the Express 2026 Fogo. Good player, but 91 has a good one too.
Anyone have any contact info for Team 26? Thanks
If anything 3 AA express hands down then 91 and igloo 1. After that possibly an A are S2S and legacy as an A.

This is Long Island we only have A and B
Way more B teams on Long Island than A teams....Very diluted...

Under that logic there are only three A teams Express 91 and Igloo, everyone else is B.

And 91 and Igloo Aren't strong A when you consider some of the other teams from other areas.

Sweetlax is a clear #2. They have an excellent team and consistently play Express in very close games. They are definitely better than Tigers and Express North based on recent play.

I totally agree!
You can't consider Team 91 an A team until they start playing in A tournaments and stop hiding behind all these weak B tournaments that they like to dominate. Just a continuation of last season. The likes of the Hawk's, Sweetlax, LI Express, Tigers, Express North, 3D New England, etc are more than up to playing you! Until you decide to play competitive teams, I suggest staying quiet and touting how good you are. As previously stated, you haven't played a team ranked better than 124 by US Club Lax.

That team is terrible.
True but 91 also has at least 3 kids that really belong on a 2025 team. BS
Exactly what a joke. I got some juniors and seniors at small D1 schools gonna put together a strong 2026 team. Gonna holdback for a few years. Should be ok right?

Nice try. Wrong
8th grade is the last year that you can talk about holdbacks. There are legitimate arguments that can be had how its really unfair. 9th grade you can't hear it anymore. There are 9th graders playing varsity. So no more of that conversation after this year please.
91 has more top teams in Long Island then express does. express only owns 2026. Thats about it. their younger teams are pathetic.

Holding your kid back is not cheating at all. We are taking about kids NOT being held back in school but are holding back in lacrosse. A 9th grader who is in 9th grade playing for a 2026 team for example. This is happening at the elite 2026 level. That is just cheating.

Do tell.
Met the attackman they flew up from Florida for the day on the bus ride back to the airport. Counted seven miscellaneous helmets playing for the Crabs. Nothing legitimate about them playing on age. Lots of holdbacks and guest players. It’s amazing what these coaches will do to win an 8th grade lacrosse game.
There will always be cheaters in life. It will always catch up with them in the end, in one way or another.

LIE 2026 proved once again that they are the most skilled on age team in the nation. They lost by a goal to a mostly 2025 crabs team. Had they played against players their age, Crabs 2027 which is mostly made up of 8th graders, it would have been an embarrassment. The system is broken.

Get over it and move on. When you beat the Hawks a few weeks ago you didn't want to hear anything about all of their injuries and/or missing players. Now you lose to the Crabs and it's holdback and guest player whining. We'll see you again in the spring.

What about the Express holdbacks? And stop with the most skilled team Bro. They have the best player at the most important position. Minus him, they are with the rest of the pack.

Based on recent posts, it seems like Express has holdbacks of their own.

This is an idiotic statement. High school is high school. The rules for high school are 9th through 12th grade. Only the very top 9th graders will make a varsity roster. Club is different. You are theoretically collecting the best talent across an age group to compete. How about we take a group of high school seniors (2021) and put together the top talent in the region and go compete against another regions top freshman talent (2025). Are you really saying no difference? You cannot be that dense. I will give you once they hit junior year, the difference shrinks between juniors and seniors. But freshman vs. seniors, please. How about you quit cheating and just field an age appropriate team and see where the cards fall.

Our Crabs wouldnt complained if we lost about your double holdback that wasnt there.

There are no double holdbacks on LIE. It was a great game this weekend against great players on both sides.

LIE 2026 proved once again that they are the most skilled on age team in the nation. They lost by a goal to a mostly 2025 crabs team. Had they played against players their age, Crabs 2027 which is mostly made up of 8th graders, it would have been an embarrassment. The system is broken.

Based on recent posts, it seems like Express has holdbacks of their own.

and double holdbacks
My son plays on LI Express. I’m just happy that he is playing against great competition on a weekly basis. Why care so much about a few holdbacks or a goal or 2 win/loss. Happy to watch my son grow and play healthy athletics. Proud of how hard he works, the effort he puts in and person he’s becoming.
People need to calm it down a bit on here and realize how lucky you are.

Spoken like a holdback parent. When you see your 12 year old get demolished by a 15 year old, talk to me then. Always amazes me how people can twist and turn to justify something that is obviously unethical.

No my son is 13. He has apparently been playing against many teams with hold back players for years though, according to this website.
Despite holdbacks on both sides, this was a great game. The parents on here crying over a 1 goal loss need to gain a little perspective. It shouldn’t always be about winning. It should be about playing great competition and getting better. Both teams did that this weekend. If you are offended by holdbacks (my son is not one of them before you pounce), lacrosse is probably the wrong sport for your son. Beautiful day, beautiful facility, great lacrosse. I’ll take it. Just enjoy the journey and know that the boys will probably get them next time. And if they don’t, that is ok, too.

The most disgruntled parents on here are the holdback victims on the "WSYL" Team. Re-class is the Coach C recipe. He's going to feed that to anyone who will listen. Now what is the kickback to get that tuition at Chaminade or St. A's.... Keep feeding the beast. Let's ask the next question. Who's the coach at the re-class school? Ohhh Mr. Express himself. Ponzi scheme that parents will not hopefully figure out, 2026 Express kids just got face smashed by 2025's stealing their positions. Pay up young schmuck parents and you'll be at Air Force..
Your head is in the clouds and you've all been duped. Keep paying and keep traveling! You are all fool's and you know it! Truth!!!

You're a lost and you're teaching your son to be a lost. Cheating is cheating and you're okay with your son being tossed aside. I can go to a gunfight with a bow & arrow and appreciate the technology of a rifle in my face. I'm still dead. The RIFLE WINS.

Do me a favor. Just say you're ok being a submissive lost. Your son will never play and you and your wife will wear the gear and be happy. lost's beget losers and by that post you're a hang-on lost. Move on with some dignity and realize that the 2025 kids are better!

You need to stop posting things that make sense. This forum is for nonsense.
Love the maniacs on here spouting off about 2026 LI Express like you know all. You couldn't be farther from reality. Hopefully you seek therapy sooner rather than later to release your anger, other than on this anonymous forum.

Wow, just amazing. The "just have fun" crowd are like the useful stunads. They are either benefiting from the existing system, woefully ignorant, unethical, or maybe all. Many players in the club lacrosse scene are there to be in a highly competitive environment to improve their skillset with likeminded players. That is the "fun" for them. What is not fun is not having a level playing field. If you are just out to "have fun" and not worry about the lopsided landscape, go play on your town team. I highly doubt this "have fun" nonsense you spew is really how you feel, it is just a way to somehow permit your conscience to ignore the cheating, probably because you are one of the few benefitting from the corrupt environment. You think this "have fun" position puts you on a higher moral ground, like you do not care. I think it makes you into a useful dunce, with ignorance and no backbone to stand up to something that is clearly wrong.

The game in question was a 1 goal game that went back and forth the entire time. That sounds like a level-playing field to me. If my son has to play against holdbacks for the other organization to put forth a competitive team, I’ll take that any day of the week vs. beating a team by 10 + goals. But I am one who believes that winning is not the most important thing. Getting better is. And for the record, my son plays for an incredibly competitive team AND has fun. Imagine that. Now go kick rocks.

And you forgot to mention your son is 15 playing against 12 year olds.
Puberty is the great equalizer. If you look at a 2026 team and there aren’t at least 3 or 4 sub 100 pound boys, the team probably doesn’t have many on age kids on the roster. The size difference of a pre pubescent 13 year old and fully grown 15 year old is immense and a total safety issue. When kids enter HS however they will typically play for the frosh team and those who play up on varsity are probably the larger ones. My point is that the holdback issue is one of safety at the middle school leve

No, I didn’t. He is 100% on age. Now go pick up your Prozac, bro.
No, I didn’t. He is 100% on age. Now go pick up your Prozac, bro.

Sure, yeah, he is 26 years old and plays on the 2026 team. Thats the way it works right, oh, but age does not matter, we are all here for fun. I think he has one of the guys he works with at the mill that used to play for Syracuse going to join the team at NLF. All good, all fair. Lemming

Funny, always comes down to name calling, like a little gossipy teenager, when you are losing. While I would prefer to stick with the facts, if you want to keep name calling, here is one for you. "Camel"
Parents are an embarrassment. trying to live failed athletics through their kids. they have no clue. Most of these kids won't even be playing in a few years they will drop the game when they dont make their high school team. pathetic.
Total embarrassment, add some of the coaches as well.. Just shake my head on the sidelines, then come on here and these posts solidify my thoughts.. EMBARRASSING
they read into these things like the club lacrosse rankings. Total Joke. Its laughable. They have 350 teams listed in the list. 150 teams are made up of the same combinations of kids playing on two or three teams. It is literally the stupidest thing anyone has ever made up to feed into some deficient parent ego, who wants to say that his kid is on the 10th ranked team. But what's funny is he is on the 10th the 48th and the 72nd ranked teams because he plays on three teams. Another joke.
The same guy posting nonsensical replies to himself. Find a therapist.

Was at Fall Brawl today for my oldest. Where is Team 2026 from? Never seen them before.
Crazy has entered the chat. The scary thing is that this person might be standing next to you on Saturday. Good thing we all have 26 year old sons to protect us.
Good day on tap Saturday. Will be interesting to see who is the champ of NAL.

Just a bunch of kids from all different clubs that get together to play some tournaments. Some igloo kids, shore to shore etc. seems like a lot of kids from Northport/manhasset area.
Nal is better then nlf.

Does anyone have contact info for them?
Express losing to Tigers tomorrow
Final will be Tigers v Sweetlax
Could easily be Tigers vs Sweetlax..Tigers lost by 5 to Express 2 weeks ago , Tigers could try to grab some more High School kids , but it didn’t help last time …so sad 🤦‍♂️

The Tigers don't seem the type of team to grab older kids. They're pretty dedicated to the team that they've had in place for years. That being said, my money would be with Express. I've seen them play over the last 2 years and they're real good. Sweetlax also very good. My money would go on them or Express.

Could not be any happier then seeing Tigers loose again in a final ..congratulations Sweetlax ! Well deserved
Igloo with really strong showing, should be rated four behind Sweetlax, tigers and express.
Stick Bros upset Shore to Shore, are they a AA team?

This guy should be giving his Sunday football picks as he was right again.

SL dad here and it was another great championship game between us and Tigers. Came down to the buzzer. Great tournament.
It should be Sweetlax 1, tigers 2, express 3, igloo 4. hawks 5.
Tigers without one player is a much weaker team.
Express without one player is a much weaker team.
Sweetlax doesn’t depend on just one player like these teams. That is why they are the best 2026 team in the nation right now.
From an LIE parent, huge congrats to Sweetlax on your well-deserves win today. Great kids and great parents!
Nice try Igloo parent....You played in the B bracket....Come back when you decide to play with the Big Boys! You are not is the same category as Sweetlax, Tigers, LI Express, Hawks, Crabs and the list goes on...

Did your team go 0~3 today? Must have as anyone with such an analysis aint to smart. When these three teams play it’s a one or two goal tight game.

Interestingly, my lacrosse tournament LI events used to be the premiere events and no longer with their creation of the NLF.

Speaking of B brackets how'd the orange drizzle look? Didn't see any of their games.

Original poster definitely a troll looking to stir things up. Igloo knows they were in the weaker bracket. They weren’t happy about it either. No delusions about being anywhere near as competitive as those other teams. Express, Tigers, Sweetlax aren’t in their sights. They’re closer to the BBL, Leading Edge and Primetime teams.

what does that even mean, they go to a tournament and play and show up and win. That is what almost every one of these tournaments and games are. Stop being whiners.
Express will likely drop in the rankings as they do as their kids grades go by. Express plays by the rules and their kids are much better off because of it. Solid teams on age, etc. As the other cheat to try to win t shirts they develop their players.

Same Express dad 😢. Prob the same one that bashes 91 all the time. It’s ok if little Johnny loses it makes him a stronger person.

Agree to disagree here. Express has a current 2026 on their 2027 team. This player in going to re-class this year and become a 2027, however they play him on the grade where he is going not where he is. Additionally, this player played 2027 all last season as well.

Agree that Express drop off is happening quickly and right on time. Happens every time to there teams. Peak in 7 grade and fall to the bottom into high school graduation. No development and the kids who get developed by 91, Legacy and Igloo go to the front of the pack.

Sweetlax doesn’t depend on just one player like these teams. That is why they are the best 2026 team in the nation right now.

Did your team go 0~3 today? Must have as anyone with such an analysis aint to smart. When these three teams play it’s a one or two goal tight game.

Agree Hawkward post of day. Can't come to grip Hawks barely top 10.
91 dads who were yapping about how improved their team was have been real quiet after this weekend
Take the L and move on
No need for the excuses

91 is what they are. They have great coaching and will continue to develop lacrosse players. The Parents who never did anything in their life and trying to live through their kids should concentrate on their Childs development and not trying to bash a team that took a pass on them.
Igloo entered, played the teams they were told to play, beat all of them and won the NAL! They got an easier division but still had to win 4 games. Stop crying Express dad igloo is currently better than your team! Enjoy the winter and come out and play in the spring. This Igloo team has a new coach and a bunch of new kids and they are hungry to win!
Untrue, igloo beat a mooselax team by 3 goals and showed minimal potential vs real competition. 91 orange storm had a rough weekend, giving up a 4 goal lead to an average express north team. I was informed however, they were without a head coach, Sal Lacsio, who plays an integral role in the boys performance. It is expected of the boys to do better as they have gotten some very good players as of recent and more are coming in. A team to look at for coming tournaments. Igloo is a good nor great program with talent hidden in certain positions but it would be incorrect and out of pocket to put them close to tiger, sweetlax etc. US club lax has laid out 91 and Annapolis hawks as the team to look for.

Great coaching?? Oook! Nice guys but TERRIBLE coaches. They spent too much time trying to keep Massapequa and Wantagh kids on that team. Now they don’t know, and since about 2017, they don’t know what to do with their limited talent that was in those 2 towns. They’ve been suffering ever since.

Until Igloo beats LIE, Sweetlax or the Tigers, they certainly can't claim they're better than any of those teams. Be happy that you won the weaker bracket at the NAL, but please don't confuse that with beating the elite teams that were in attendance. For now, the top 3 teams are LIE, Sweetlax and the Tigers since that's who is competing in the finals of all the recent major championships. Perhaps the Crabs and Towermen with their litany of holdbacks will make some noise, but that will need to be seen consistently heading into the summer. Either way, this will be settled on the field.

Agree that Express drop off is happening quickly and right on time. Happens every time to there teams. Peak in 7 grade and fall to the bottom into high school graduation. No development and the kids who get developed by 91, Legacy and Igloo go to the front of the pack.

Very true.

Igloo is always getting freezes out by the people from NLF. They have shown they are a legitimate team in the more inclusive NAL. They are a really good team. So are the others holdbacks are not, stop being a hater and just enjoy all lacrosse. Do you realize how many kids on these teams made their way up from the other teams B teams etc. Or the improvement of igloo from a very good team to an elite team. I think that is what should be applauded. Nobody will remember what team won the NAL or tournament in 3 years. Enjoy the ride.

This can't be coming from an Igloo parent. Everyone knows they played weaker teams... and they haven't beaten Express in years (and probably won't). Can't say theyre better if they cant beat them. Watched them play this weekend. Upgraded a bit. Igloo added a coach, who seems more even tempered, but the other hot headed coaches are still there showing the same negative emotion, yelling and screaming, and finger pointing. They are not on the same level as Express or any of those other top teams.

Where can I find a copy of the rules? Given Express pretty much runs club lacrosse they must have the rules on their website, right? Maybe they are on the NLF website?

Which Igloo was at NAL?
Sorry but no chance. 91 rapid improvement was the biggest news of NAL for Long Island. Not a good thing that no Long Island teams were in the Championship at this age.

Nope. Players need to practice together to develop chemistry. 91 Florida fly-ins score goals, but aren’t helping their team develop. Oh, and ball movement helps. Pass the ball, please. On second thought, your teammates can’t catch. Carry on.

91 was 1 goal away from the same record as Express. One team on the way up and one in nosedive.

Unfortunately our Express going to slip to 4 in rankings. 91 is on the upswing. It's clear 91 training is making big improvements. And now we have three or four teams that can beat us with Crabs entering the mix. Once the first kid jumps to 91 from Express it is all over.

That's funny. 91 will beat (B Bracket) Igloo by at least 5 goals. Shore stopped entering real tourneys after getting embarrassed in the NLF last summer. Moose is better than them. Team 26 lost to a town team this past week.

It would save hotels and a Jersey Turnpike drive! Honestly, the NAL was a very good tourney, with most teams/games being very competitive.
The team the 26 lost it was actually not a town team that Coach pulled in kids from all over and I can confirm my son was one of them

This is the truth. We know kids on the team “ Dalets” they recruited kids from everywhere and were still not that great. I believe team 26 actually tied them.

I dont know I think 91 and Igloo would be a good game. I am sure they will play at some point. I think both 91 and igloo got better. Shore wants to believe they are better then they are but they just take everyones B players so really no improvement there. Moose got better because outlaws were good and so they are better but not to Express Igloo or 91 level. Team 26 is basically Igloo/former outlaws, and randoms not top but they are basically the same as Moose and others in that level because they are the same people with different uniform.

what other towns were on the daler team?

Flying in more holdbacks from Florida?
Just looked at the 2026 US Club Lax rankings and am trying to understand why LIE Chany has listed LI Express Wieczorek Black (2026) as the team that attended the NAL. Seems a little disingenuous that they are listing their B team vs. the actual team that played. Expect better from them as they try to preserve the ranking.

Actually that's the C team. They don't control US club lacrosse. Many times their stats come from tourney machine

It was definitely the A team. It’s just incorrectly listed under the C team. I’m sure it will be corrected. If you look at that Black team they have a few scores from the B team also. From Columbus Day tournament. That’s scores from 2 different teams. The B & C team were there for that.
Heard a funny conversation about “ ranking “ 13 year old players ..I wanted to tell the 5 foot 3 dad who’s never played lacrosse or any other high school or college sport , that little tommy has peaked , apples don’t fall far from the tree , bad enough ranking 13 year old teams ..now kids 🤦‍♂️..let them enjoy the weekends and hanging with their buddies , stop living through your kid ..it’s sad ..let them play in their hometown , have some great memories..sitting on the bench at Chaminade and St Anthony’s not going to be any fun ..

You’re probably that 5 foot 3 date. Go away chump.
Express team is still currently the number 1 team in country. Top program, every once in a while they will fall but they have shown in this age that they are the strongest team. Sweetlax is close behind.
91 once again undefeated. showing great improvement. dont sleep on them. they are working their way up the rankings.

Express is probably 3rd maybe 4. Sweetlax is #1 we all know. Won NAL. Express lost in the semi to Tigers.
Seriously? You actually went there…B tournament..2 town teams and a subpar B team “ undefeated “ . Wow 🤦‍♂️
Don’t forget the Crabs 🦀.1 .Express / 2.Crabs / 3.Tigers / 4. Lax Black ..5. Hawks .
Some of these other “big time “ clubs hide in B tournaments..not in the conversation

3. Tigers
4. LI Express
5. Hawks
6. West Coast Stars Gold
7. Stealth FL
8. Igloo

You have play other teams first. It’s odd though it seems, and it could be me, some clubs use the fall to be very selective over the match ups and don’t play vs certain teams. And other clubs will play any team. Maybe the brackets break that way or something

I don’t believe 6-10 or maybe 8-10 are top 10 teams. You’re forgetting the competition in other parts of the country.
There are other teams (from CA, TX, CO, NC) who could beat (or have already beaten) some of them and could challenge or beat 1-5 (or 1-7) too.

Well hopefully these teams (from CA, TX, CO, NC) show up to play in the Elite Tournaments this Summer and prove it. Playing subpar teams in B tournaments doesn't get you ranked in the top 10.

Get real. Sweetlax won NAL and beat Tigers in the final. Sweetlax is #1. Express not in the conversation for #1.

Sweetlax has beaten everybody they've played in the last 2 years and has only lost to 2 clubs teams during that time. One loss to the Towermen and wait for it... 7 or 8 losses in a row to LIE. For now, the top 3 teams in the country are LIE, Sweetlax and the Tigers. There are a few teams that may win a game or 2 along the way, but these 3 teams remain the best and most consistent. For all the ranting on BOTC, you'd think most of you would know the 2026 teams that routinely play in all the major championships. Either way, young boys with a lot of lacrosse in front of them. Enjoy the ride!

Not an express dad lol, but whatever helps you make it through the day, by all means vent. To that end, my son's team has played these top 3 teams and I've gotten to see them up close on several occasions. From my perspective:

1. LIE is still the most complete team and is coached really well. Coach C get's the most out of his kids. Not the most athletic or physically dominant team, but they execute really well and have a dominant face off guy. This may change this year with all the holdbacks, but they'll remain in the hunt all year. They also added a few 2025s that will be a big help in the summer. Plus, the simply practice and play... often!

2. Sweetlax may be the most athletic team from top to bottom and added an awesome goalie. My biggest observation this fall is that they have limited their ball movement which was once better than any team I've seen at this age. Looks like they added some players but their ball movement has suffered. Maybe why their AGD has changed so much this fall? Still, they will be in the top 3 until proven otherwise.

3. Tigers have looked really strong this fall and had Sweetlax on the ropes on 2 different occasions and beat LIE. They have some talented offensive players and the face-off guy has been solid. Defense looks much improved as well.

Crabs and their holdback team will likely compete due to playing with very few actual 2026s, but until they show up and play the top 3 teams, they shouldn't have any claim to the top 3 spots. As I said, this will be settled on the field and if you have yet to see the top 3 teams play, you might want to check them out to see why they're so good and still playing in virtually every championship bracket.

Thanks Express dad. Issue is your team lost to the Tigers. In the Championship game of NAL, Sweetlax beat the Tigers by one. So Sweetlax is #1. Also Express lost to the Crabs a few weeks ago. So Express is #4. Any questions?

I didn’t post that comment, but I don’t see what’s wrong with it.
This forum is full of all types of entertaining, ridiculous, and informative comments.
If you don’t like the details, why are you reading and commenting on here and not tending to your amazing life? You only want to see people put each other down or make rude comments? That’s an honest question. What do you hope to find here if not a civilized comment or discussion about something in which we all clearly have an interest? We can’t all just say “sorry your kid got cut” or this forum would be a dead end.

NJ not in discussion nationally or regionally until they have a sophomore year class top 5 team national team after a summer sophomore season. Will 25 BBL or LE do it their sophomore year? Will 26 Towermen or LE do it? I doubt it. Enjoy the 8th grade rankings.

Look, your team isn’t breaking any rules but please, own up to the fact that the crabs are only competing at this level due to a massive influx of holdbacks. Just say it… it may actually feel liberating to get it off your shoulders.

Towermen

You forgot DC Express.

Did we ? No intentional. Dce not in this conversation. also intentional to leave out towermommys. Also angry crabs daddy. It’s only Sweetlax , tigers and express and that is a coin toss.


NJ not in discussion nationally or regionally until they have a sophomore year class top 5 team national team after a summer sophomore season. Will 25 BBL or LE do it their sophomore year? Will 26 Towermen or LE do it? I doubt it. Enjoy the 8th grade rankings.

It’s a 2026 ranking meathead


100% Towermen Dad. Yes enjoy 8th. NJ is irrelevant once high school arrives.

Maybe. Let’s compare notes in 3 years.

Crabs have so many they actually needed to start a separate team just for 2026 on age kids. It may be pushing past the grey area.

So move on smile and laugh when you are playing against a kid who struggles with basic math and is actually repeating a grade for the sake of youth club lacrosse director. You will ultimately have the last laugh when next year hits and everything evens out with competition. Enjoy the circus for what it is now.
91 is in the mix with any of these teams come the summer. They had a hot fall, and will continue to work and get better. Good Luck to all other teams.

Reading comprehension? Move on, have a laugh and wait until High School.

91 ranked number 11 in the country, moving up the charts, but summer will be solid top 5 team.

Keep dreaming

Saw them play last weekend in between my sons games. They are a solid B team. Anyone saying they’re an A team is just wrong or a 91 parent. They have 2 fast middies and that really it. Many can barely catch and throw.
On Thanksgiving Day, nothing better to do. So sad, you people.

This is the issue with 2026 91 Storm parents and coaches. They don’t even know what they don’t know. Best of luck to you. When was the last time you played Express? Over a year ago? I wonder why that hasn’t happened…..we all know Express will play anyone, anywhere, anytime.

You're a parent with a kid on the team. Of course you would think they'll be top 10. They're not even top 30.
I know that’s hard believe for parents of a 91 team, but for this grade the team is good, but not a top team.
actually right now they are 11.
Have to chime in regarding the Kings defenders. They are both on age. Big and aggressive but are still only recently 14. Last summer at NLF they hadn’t turned 14 yet and were talking to the Sweetlax attack who were 15 already. We do t do holdbacks here in Colorado.
so are you saying if you have a 13 year old playing in 2026 you are an stunad even though he is in 8th grade?
Hawks attack too. Should be 2025s. I get waiting to start school with a Summer birthday so that they aren’t the youngest (or even reclassing with a kid who started school early). But repeating a grade solely for lacrosse is rediculous. Should be a March 1, 2007 age cutoff to eliminate this nonsense.

Yeah. When you play in B tournaments you'll win. Play in A tournaments you don't win a single game.
Not sure what you mean. Most of the 2026’s should still be 13. I’d say January 2008 is the average birthday for a 2026. At least an on age one.

Not an ounce of truth to the 2026 Sweetlax attack being 15 and holdbacks are rare in Upstate NY as well due to very good public schools. The Kings play a weaker schedule and need to beat the best NE teams to be deemed elite.
You've reached and far exceeded the amount one should use the word stunad.

Once again says the obnoxious Express Dad! You act like you play. Let me guess you are the guy who carries Coach C folding chair around at tournaments. You give the other nice Express parents a bad name .

Accept the fact that 91 is NOT good and will never play Express. Accept it! You won't. Typical 91 2026 dad. No even an Express parent but it's completely obvious.

Wrong! CoachC never sits!! He never rests!
My mistake. It was the Hawks attack who were 15. And several other members of their team. I appreciate that upstate and LI play on age. And yes, it’s too bad there aren’t more competitive teams out West. The Kings and Tommyknockers can only play each other so many times. Just know that the Kings have no holdbacks and are a local team from Denver. When the 2027 Kings won NLF (and smoked the 91 Machine 10-3) the butt-hurt dads on that thread accused them of holdbacks and being a regional team. The reality is that LI has a population of 7 million - more than the entire state of Colorado. Tired of the excuses. Give credit where credit is due.

Not the original poster, but it seems that you are the obnoxious one coming on this thread and claiming to be a top team with absolutely nothing to back it up. Until you beat Sweetlax, Tigers, Express or Hawks, please pipe down.

91 is a strong team and just getting stronger, no one said they would beat Express tomorrow, but they are getting better and better. So 2027 machine kicks express butt all over the field, so what are you saying. 2026 91 is getting stronger and stronger and at some point they will likely overtake express, they are better coached and developed. All express does is take everyone else's developed players.

You sound like a child. 91 is not a good team. They don't even play in A tournaments. Please tell me the last time they beat any team that finished in the top 20 last year? I'll wait. If you want to talk about a 2027 team go to the 2027 forum. I really wouldn't use that to defend the 2026 team. Weak and sad.

Tommykockers and Kings both stink. Not sorry.
Both have holdbacks and both are out of top 50
My son plays on a 2026 A team. I will admit not a top 10 team but very close to it. They have never played against this 91 team that is frequently mentioned here and I would have to agree with some people here that if you want to try and say you're a top team why not play against them? Let's go! Step up and play better teams!

I think you’re wrong again. Which team had 15 year old attack last summer? It’s not the Hawks and my guess is that it’s no team. You should be aware that your mind and/or memory is unreliable. The Kings are a great team and, if you’re saying they have no holdbacks, then you should know size doesn’t always correspond with age in middle school.

You think that every Hawks attack was 15 this summer??

Many dads roam the sidelines at these games with their tape measure and if a kid is over 5'8 at this age, there is no convincing them that he isn't a holdback.

Top 91 kids ran to Express. They were not taken.
Its so notIntelligent. So Express steals everyones developed talent that is what you are saying. Bravo. I guess you will say at different ages 91 does it to Express. Overall 91 defeats express in almost every age group, they are continuing to build 2026, and will beat other teams maybe not express in the near future. express dad you are lame, your kid is an embarrassment, stop your bragging, you sound like an stunad.

I think most people agree with this statement. 91 is very dominant at almost every age group. But this age group they are not. The reason is pretty simple. They kept kids that didn’t deserve a spot. As a result their top talent left and top kids stopped coming to tryouts because they knew they wouldn’t get a fair look. The team is good but not great. In the end it doesn’t matter

It would seem as you are the one that is the embarrassment. Ranting a raving on a chat forum. Worry about your own kid and his team.

I dont know if it is feasible to have the best team of every age group. 91 has the most best teams in every age group. the fact that they are a top team in 2026 but may not be the top team is not a knock on them, they are developing and getting better, just like all of their dominant teams. They have an excellent program one that express aspires to be, 91 is just better coaching and development. Express is marketing pure marketing.

You are incessantly bragging about a mediocre 91 team. Not sure anyone could sound more idiotic than you.

91 got a new coach this year and over a 1/3 of their team is new. It is a totally different looking team than in the past. The statement above is 100% correct with tryouts in the past. Hopefully the situation is corrected.

Curious if they're so good why they don't attempt to play in an A tournament? Maybe in the spring/summer. We shall see but I doubt it. I saw them play this year and they still looked very mediocre.
they are not mediocre, they are better then that, and getting stronger and stronger, they will be top 10 team by end of the year.
Is the Express - 91 detest like this at every age level?

As a result their top talent left and top kids stopped coming to tryouts because they knew they wouldn’t get a fair look. The team is good but not great. In the end it doesn’t matter

91 got a new coach this year and over a 1/3 of their team is new. It is a totally different looking team than in the past. The statement above is 100% correct with tryouts in the past. Hopefully the situation is corrected.

Curious if they're so good why they don't attempt to play in an A tournament? Maybe in the spring/summer. We shall see but I doubt it. I saw them play this year and they still looked very mediocre.

So you saw them at a tournament, but they don't play A tournaments? You just sound like an angry troll.

Actually it was the tournament at SUNY Farmingdale recently. There were varsity HS teams playing (my son). My interest was sparked when I saw the new coach on the sideline (Sal L) and was curious how they looked with him in command since he has coached nothing but top teams for 91. Like I said though, from what I saw I could not see them competing with the top teams (A teams) by the spring/summer. I wouldn't doubt that next year they will look pretty good with his coaching though. Honest assessment and hope that answers the troll question. Good luck.
I am sure they will be in many A tournaments. They were in one and lost 2 games. but they are improving everyday. express is getting nervous because like many other years they fade away to irrelevance.
I can only speak for the Hawks attack (and goalie) who admitted they were 15 to our players. Sounds like this is typical in DMV, as the Crabs are doing the same thing, just with the majority of the team.

Nice try. No holdbacks out here. And neither squad has played this fall so they aren’t in the rankings yet. 2026 made the NLF bracket and 2027 won the NLF. Couple tournaments coming up (2026 is missing it’s top 2 players, but is still solid, and 2027 is likely to continue its perfect 22-0 summer).

Please go to the 2027 Colorado thread this is a Long Island lacrosse forum.

Were you watching the game against GC where they had their poles playing attack/middie and their attack playing D? They let up like 3 goals all day.

It sounds like the players have the same "holdback" paranoia as their parents. I have 2 boys both age appropriate. It is annoying to watch the bigger older kids on the field but it really does not matter. The kids are on the field competing and hopefully having fun.

Yeah. If anyone believes that the Hawks attack and goalie "admitted they were 15 to our players" then I have a bridge I'd love to sell you. All, but one played in WSYL. Sorry to disappoint you, but they're just good. It's okay. There are a lot of great players in this age group.

They did this because it was all B teams they were playing against. I don't know which team it was. Like I said, I stopped for a few minutes because I recognized the new coach and wanted to see if the team improved under his command. My opinion is that the team hasn't improved too much yet. Wouldn't be surprised to see them improve but I believe that this spring/summer is too early for that. He's a great coach and I wish you luck.
ik im a little late i like to check this every now and then too see what you nonsense parents talk about im a 13 yearold starting attack men for team 91 yes there was one summer birthday 14 year old the other was just tall the rest of are team is alright im leaving the island and moving to maryland for my dads job i already talked to 91 maryland 2025 that is who im playing for nexy year

I feel sorry for people who can't English.
1. LIE is still the most complete team and is coached really well. Coach C get's the most out of his kids. Not the most athletic or physically dominant team, but they execute really well and have a dominant face off guy. This may change this year with all the holdbacks, but they'll remain in the hunt all year. They also added a few 2025s that will be a big help in the summer. Plus, the simply practice and play... often!

2. Sweetlax may be the most athletic team from top to bottom and added an awesome goalie. My biggest observation this fall is that they have limited their ball movement which was once better than any team I've seen at this age. Looks like they added some players but their ball movement has suffered. Maybe why their AGD has changed so much this fall? Still, they will be in the top 3 until proven otherwise.

3. Tigers have looked really strong this fall and had Sweetlax on the ropes on 2 different occasions and beat LIE. They have some talented offensive players and the face-off guy has been solid. Defense looks much improved as well.

Crabs and their holdback team will likely compete due to playing with very few actual 2026s, but until they show up and play the top 3 teams, they shouldn't have any claim to the top 3 spots. As I said, this will be settled on the field and if you have yet to see the top 3 teams play, you might want to check them out to see why they're so good and still playing in virtually every championship bracket.[/quote]

We are all getting tired of your detailed breakdowns of 8th grade lacrosse teams. Get a life.[/quote]

Frankly, this forum could use some more of this. No team is perfect in 8th grade, but the top 3 or 4 clubs have clearly separated from the pack for now. Personally, I think Sweetlax is most vulnerable. The statement that their ball movement has suffered is fact and they looked beatable this fall.

It’s an online lax discussion board, this is exactly what should be talked about imho. It’s fun and sparks debate. And you can queue the 91 response predicting they are back. I think people take it too serious at times
Massachusetts will be well represented in the rankings as both high end programs will be top 10 or dare I say, top 5. Laxachusetts and 3d NE Red are both the real deal and you folks will have to deal with them all next summer.

That is an affirmative on Laxachusetts. But it’s allowed as it’s age based. So not sure what the problem is. They all have to deal with high school next year. As for 3d NE, zero holdbacks from last summer to next summer. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The only problem is sad parents who brag about how great their kid’s team is when your kid is a full year older. No pride.
Their poor coworkers just want to have their morning coffee in peace, but instead need to hear daddy’s constant ramblings of how great his kid is or how other teams cheat him out of #1. Once you leave the copier, the office laughter begins.

This is hilarious, but it is also equally hilarious the people who's talented 8 year old drops off a cliff and then the guy really is out of sorts.

3. Tigers have looked really strong this fall and had Sweetlax on the ropes on 2 different occasions and beat LIE. They have some talented offensive players and the face-off guy has been solid. Defense looks much improved as well.

Crabs and their holdback team will likely compete due to playing with very few actual 2026s, but until they show up and play the top 3 teams, they shouldn't have any claim to the top 3 spots. As I said, this will be settled on the field and if you have yet to see the top 3 teams play, you might want to check them out to see why they're so good and still playing in virtually every championship bracket.

We are all getting tired of your detailed breakdowns of 8th grade lacrosse teams. Get a life.

Frankly, this forum could use some more of this. No team is perfect in 8th grade, but the top 3 or 4 clubs have clearly separated from the pack for now. Personally, I think Sweetlax is most vulnerable. The statement that their ball movement has suffered is fact and they looked beatable this fall.[/quote]

Everyone respects Sweetlax, Tigers, Express so much.....No holdbacks[/quote]

Except that it seems that they do have holdbacks.

Just deny that there are holdbacks, while there are.

Hmmm… probably the team with the most holdbacks will dominate at this age. Growth and strength is measurable at this age. Not as much in HS. Boys catch up then. Rules need to be changed at youth ages!!!

you people should just be happy that your kids are playing and learning the game. Go to where you can find good coaching and a good pool of kids to work with. All the other stuff is BS.

Says the guy with a kid that is a three year holdback and plays with a bunch of other holdbacks and crushes a bunch of 10 year old boys. Sure go to good coaching and good group of kids, but is it too much to ask for some on age competition? Those that say it does not matter are most likely the ones that are cheating.

Its like the shoplifting going on in CA and NY. Some point it out as wrong. Others say move along, nothing to see here. It does not impact you (until it does). Kind of like when your 10 year old gets run over by a 2 year holdback and ends up with a concussion.
DCE has maybe one December birthday and not only that he's there SSDM and he's not a reclass just older

Express North had at least 2 2025s playing down at the NLF. Not holdbacks, legit 2025s. So they cheated.

Didn't they use an older FOGO to win a game earlier in the same tourney?
Florida results looked predictable today.

Why be surprised? Have you met the director of EN? He is as close to director of Express as you can get. Whatever it takes to win, to bring people in and to collect $. Which in fairness is the name of the game so dont complain about it and dont be surprised by it. Use it or lose it! Love it or leave it!

But did they cheat and bring down non-holdback 2025s? If you haven’t reclassed yet, and you play on a 2026 team you are a cheater and a lost.

Sounds like a Hawks dad on a north board. Sorry you lost to Express North. Long Island Express also lost to them. Swettlax beat Express North.

Pathetic what teams do just to try and look good.
Clarity needed……we know Express North cheated at UMASS this summer. Are you also saying that 91 cheated this weekend in Florida?

They cheated and were only in a consolation bracket.
Using actual holdbacks = not cheating

Honest question….91 Storm has players (at least one that is a holdback) that they fly in from Florida. I am assuming that these players also play on other Florida club teams. Did these players play on the 91 Storm team at this tourney?

I don't want to be mean but if you are a 91 Orange Storm parent do yourself a favor and get a refund. It's over. You went to a 91 tournament in Florida and got embarrassed. B level competition and they finished C level. You are closer to #11 on L.I. than #11 in the country. Sad but true. They will never be able to replace the talent that the Massapequa coach pushed away.

That means nothing. There is a ton of talent off the Island. Play Express if you really want to know where you stand. Play Tigers, Hawks, Sweetlax. Play anyone good…..anyone!

You sound like a very bitter dad who's son got cut. B level competition? Most of the teams played were ranked #15 or higher. But thank you for playing.

Keep telling yourself that. Obviously you're trying to justify your money spent. Those teams are just not good.

It’s very much true. The coach of your 2027 team has a son who is currently in 8th grade, which makes him a 2026. However, for the past 2 seasons he has played 2027.

#1 that is false. #2 go talk about your fake 2027 news on the 2027 forum.
It’s 100% not false about the 2026 player on the 2027 roster. His dad has been the coach of the 2027 team for two years. The reason why I bring it up on the 2026 page is the player is a 2026, not a 2027.
Please go to the 2027 thread with your complaints about a 2027 team. Thank you, Management.

Touched a nerve

Ha, Express and Sweetlax will mop up everyone 20 to zero, fact.
Express and Sweetlax very good but not unbeatable. At NAL, Express didn’t make finals and Sweetlax couldnt beat express north. Florida sunshine exposes them.

Covid flight cancellations are going to expose them now. Better get there early!
Nation’s Best is a 3D team and they have best talent at Club Lax national championship in Orlando this weekend. Team cruised to championship in tune up tournament in Florida. Laxachusetts 2026 no longer competitive with peers

And they will lose to Sweetlax or Express by at least 10

Talk is just talk. We'll see this weekend.
Nations best is 3step players. Not 3d. And I will be shocked if they are any good at all. The best talent they could have pulled was from the Annapolis hawks. And I don’t think they brought too many of them. If at all.

How does 2026 Stealth beat LIE and Sweetlax? Did they bring in some 2025s?

I can’t imagine that amount of improvement since the WSYL
Some 25’s ? Lol..that’s funny ..most of team was 25 and some 24 ..
Sweetlax took best of upstate and Fla ..Great lacrosse unfortunately it’s hard to compete with 15-16 year olds ..

Stop crying Express Dad ! Little Johnny needs to learn about losing it will make him a stronger kid.
Give the Stealth kids some credit. Stealth won Naptown last summer - beat the Hawks. Maybe LIE and Sweetlax are just beatable. Lot of parity at this age - which is a good thing.

I don’t think parity is the right word when other teams cheat by using current 9th graders in an 8th grade division.

"Lot of parity at this age" -- No, they were not "this age". It was completely obvious and the parents should be embarrassed.

We need to hold the tournament directors accountable for not enforcing eligibility rules. Regardless of whether age or grade based, players should have to show proof. Report cart will work if grade based. Until parents and teams boycott tournaments, nothing will ever change.

It happens to every team now, and it seems that most teams just except it and next time their team will be doing it to.
At some point of time the tournament organizers have to be held responsible for this, as well as the programs that go into tournaments that are known to allow this. Soccer, football and even basketball have id cards, age/grade verification and roster check. One day Lacrosse will get on the same page. Sad that USA Lacrosse has the potential to spear head it but they do nothing. Even PAL has some kind of check that tries to prevent this.

Stealth did not beat Sweetlax Upstate. Let's be clear.
That is true! Upstate is a much better team and should not have combined with Sweet Lax Florida! Big fan of Sweet Lax Upstate. The boys and parents are a class act!
Most of the Sweetlax team had black helmets (upstate) rest with teal (FL). Second half nearly all black helmets on the field. So....

Good one, not from LI though. How do I know? Because it doesn't take a genius to see that an entire team of boys is larger than 90% of another team. **Cue the boys are bigger in the south or we start school later down here excuse**

Hahah good one. You realize that was only 1/2 the team right? Many didn't travel because of covid and holidays. Everyone here knows who the top teams are. It's the same teams that have been at the top consistently and play each other consistently.

Half the team? How many are on their regular roster? 30+??
I see a ton of jealousy here. I don't know how many are on their regular roster but last time my guys team played them I counted 28 on the team which included the players on the field.
The three recent Express losses to Stealth, Tigers, Crabs were only by two goals, we are still top five.

Truth is, there will be challenges all over the place this summer. Legit on age teams will have difficult or more intense games due to the massive influx of holdbacks that are seen at this age group. This was clearly evident at the national event in Florida. Not sure how many holdbacks are on each team, but the overall size of the Texas Nationals and Team 91 showed significant physical differences. LIE CoachC played in the weakest bracket, yet finished 4-1 with only loss to Stealth.

I have no affiliation with the express team but i'd say they're way above average or you're clueless about this age group.

Not sure about Sweetlax. Saw them in the fall and it looked like they got a little bigger with some offensive guys, but slower. Ball movement has suffered. They're still very good but it will be interesting if they hold up in the summer playing teams with a significant amount of holdbacks.

Sweetlax Upstate didn't lose to Stealth only Express did.
People coping fine. It’s more fueled by the joy people get when the top team at every age loses a game or two. So odd.

Your holdbacks….from Boston. (All 10 25’s moving down to the 26 black team). By far the best 25 team competing at 26.

Rating system is only accurate at the end of the summer once you have a good sample size. Game input should only include March through July data. Texas nationals doesn’t exist in spring so really shouldn’t be included in the rankings.

5. True National Black (2026)
6. Stealth Black Ops (2026)
7. Leading Edge (2026)
8. DC Express Black (2026)
9. Alcatraz Outlaws (2026)
10. NCF Triad Elite Red (2026)

Just asking, who did the Texas Nationals play to make the top 3? They could be good, but how would you know.

It is based off myhockey. Only includes after eight games in a new season starting in September. Prior year is wiped out. Until summer time this is a participation trophy list. Not meaningful.
Exactly. Enjoy if while it lasts because come mid July, half of these teams will way out of the top 10.

We've all seen Tigers and The Hawks play enough that we know those 2 will be in the top 10 eventually.

Towermen went undefeated this fall at the NTX tournament and looked really strong. The additions make them really strong. they only played four games so they are not ranked yet but certainly top six. Better than last summer.

Tigers finished second at NAL and lost to Sweetlax in OT and beat Express. Only played four games probably should be number two.

Hawks also had a strong fall. Lost by a goal to Sweetlax and lost to Express. In the Express game they were missing a lot of football players. So Hawks should be ranked number 5 with Sweetlax #1, Tigers, Crabs, Express, Hawks, Towermen.

Wildcard is Laxachusetts which is now the top team in the country as the whole 2025 team moved to 2026.

Yeah, when they were down 6-7 middies Express did beat them up. Sweetlax was a 1 point loss, still minus the 6 middies.

Aren’t we getting to the point where we don’t care about what the team rankings are ? We are rapidly approaching the important years for recruiting. I am pretty sure college coaches don’t care about what your kids team was ranked. They recruit players. Not teams.

I agree. Better teams will get more attention. But does it matter who is ranked one and who is ranked four? And 91 isn’t one of the good teams at this age group. Maybe you should switch soon.

detest all you want (I am with you), but we've played them enough that you are fooling yourself if you don't consider the Hawks one of the top 2026 teams still.

+1….I detest the Hawks. Their coach is the most obnoxious human being on the planet and their parents are not far behind. By far the worst group of parents I have ever seen. But they are a top 10 team.

Always good to take a step back and remember how fun it is for these boys to play at such a high level with and against other great players. Here's hoping some of them are teammates in the future. That's what it's all about.

YES. Trust me, some of these kids will play together in college and the parents will end up friends and hanging out at team tailgates pre game for 4 years.

Express North is only competitive when they bring their 2025s to play. Outside of that they are a very average team, Jersey Express would probably beat the true 2026 Express North team 7 times out of 10

Definitely a troll post however, do not lump LIE and Express North together. Express North has only won 1 game so far this year. They are not a top team whatsoever. Jersey Express is better than Express North right now

Some states like NJ have town teams during the spring season through 8th grade which usually takes priority over club teams until early June. What other states have this?

I definitely would not say that PAL town teams take priority over club teams on LI though.
In Jersey, the 8th grade town coaches (assuming paid coaches - not dads) are usually in close contact with the town HS coaches so if your son is planning on going to public HS next year, he is smart to make the town team a priority over club in the spring.

Wrong, regardless of which team your son prioritizes, if he has skill and talent he will play in high school. Thats how it works

So you think it’s NOT smart to prioritize town in 8th grade over club if you intend to play for your town HS next year.

laxer, you said “wrong” to my advice. It’s far from wrong. And it’s probably wise, especially if a player is a bubble kid who may have to do everything he can to get HS minutes, including doing the right thing from the coaches’ perspective. Obviously if a player is a top player it is not nearly as important. Most importantly, think wisely.

Because it is wrong. You’re better off prioritizing wherever makes you a better player if the goal is play as soon as possible in high school. Worrying about an 8th grade coaches relationship with a high school coach and the impact it has on HS playing time is a waste of time. Idk what planet you live on where your conclusion makes any sense

There is no right or wrong. Do what you think is best for your son.

If my kid is a so called bubble player, I would agree that you should walk the line with what the HS coach expects you to do
That is sensible advice

This is the 8th grade forum. You're saying 6th was playing with 8th? For PAL purposes 6th graders aren't allowed to play up at all. 7th can play with 8th though.

Smithtown team played well and we did not. I am curious as to how they can play a bunch of 6th graders when our team was told absolutely no 6th graders can play up?

This is the 8th grade forum. You're saying 6th was playing with 8th? For PAL purposes 6th graders aren't allowed to play up at all. 7th can play with 8th though.

Indeed. I was told there was 4 kids in 6gth grade playing.

Yes unfortunately this is true. Apparently the 6 grade parents can’t get along and the 6th grade team imploded. Once again Smithtown Lax has has let these parents ruined a good thing !

who cares what age the kids are? they got crushed by Farmingdale yesterday. this is a '26 forum.
Apparently you did not read the previous post. The point is the 6 grade kids shouldn’t be playing on the 2026 team. They just aren’t big enough to play against 2026 kids . Do some of them have skills yes but it just straight up dangerous.

Yes 7/8..... Not 6/7/8. Why is Smithtown allowed an no other Town?
Do most of the club/travel teams at this age group start to fade away, or at least drop down to a single team, as they approach high school? Most of these clubs still have A and B teams and I believe Express has A,B,C. Is the expectation they shrink down to 1 as some of these kids are already playing with their JV or V high school teams?

The rule is 6th graders cannot play in the 7th and 8th grade division. No exceptions.

Most kids will still play club ball. Usually they just practice a little less as JV / Varsity begins.

Or your hold back!!
Farmingdale’s 2026 town team is legit the best town team in that age group
Except that they take kids from several other towns.

100% Majority of those kids are not from Farmingdale.

that's worse than having 6th graders play
This board got really quiet since Express North lost every game since NLF last summer,
Let’s go 98% are from Farmingdale. We just have a bunch of shiney MDLax from every club team because the kids from the Dale can play with whoever you put them out there with unlike some of your boys

🛑 the only dominant kid on that team was the kid with the orange helmet and long pole . Making your kid a highlight reel and posting it on YouTube doesn’t make him a superstar.

There you go getting ahead of yourself. You beat to a town team that had to use 6th grade kids just to fill a roster. Farmingdale is not exactly a powerhouse....
Actually the entire team roster is farmingdale with the exception of I think one kid. They have used a fill in goalie here and there from elsewhere if they were short, otherwise all Farmingdale.

So is that how PAL works? If you are short you can just get fill in players?

Actually you're wrong. I know of several boys that do not live in Farmingdale.
Really? Interesting. If your so sure give examples... who, what towns? Would like to hear this one...
Interesting. Since you obviously know so much give examples. Please enlighten us as to who and from where?
I think what everyone is referring to is the Farmingdale team that played at the tournament at Hecksher. More than just the goalie was not from Farmingdale.

Agree. PAL at this stage doesn't really mean anything. A number of towns started breaking away from PAL a couple years ago because of the travel scene. Some very good town teams aren't fielding PAL teams at this age because of the commitment to club and/or high school. That's why there's 7/8 grade divisions and also why you'll see other kids playing for other towns (bc they don't have a local PAL team anymore). I dont know that I've seen anyone care about PAL scores in the past... let alone in 8th grade.

I think PAL is great for grades 1-6. I actually have no problem with kids who play 8th grade PAL. 8th grade PAL is great for kids who want to maybe keep playing more than their middle school has to offer. The more serious kids will have commitments to JV or travel.

I just think no one cares what the scores were to 8th grade PAL games.
Anyone know when the schedule will be posted for Spring Fling tournament being held this weekend at Stony Brook ? It’s being run by Dynamic.
Most likely the day before the tournament. They are the worst.

Stacked? Definitely a joke comment. 2 town teams, 3 "B" teams, Legacy (who doesn't know what they are), and a 2027 team which should easily win that tournament. Cant say stacked when the favorite to win is a 2027 team.

Stacked FOR a local tournament. The town teams are Ward Melville and Cold Spring Harbor. Not sure how much you know about lacrosse about lacrosse but Ward Melville and Cold Spring Harbor are powerhouse programs. You have BBL, Machine who is the best 2027 team in the country, and Legacy Eels. Not to mention other successful club programs. The poster who said stacked for a local tournament wasn’t wrong. More than likely Machine doesn’t walk away with this one.

That tournament is definitely not stacked, even for a local tourney. You have the wool pulled over your eyes 91 parent. You've fallen for the my lollipop tournament/dynamic sports/91 scheme

This is a B division. BBL’s B team and Legacy Eels hasn’t beaten an A team in years. The other clubs are town teams or other B teams. Not bashing, just stating facts.
91Machine should be ashamed of themselves for playing in this bracket, those 2026 teams are weak at best. Guess spring is here and the Machine parents need some new T-Shirts for their kids to wear to school.

No need to bash them for playing up even if it is a weak bracket, which it very much is.

Not a weak bracket by any means. What are you expecting 5 AA teams ? There’s only one AA team on all of Long Island anyway. It’s a local tournament and a nice spring one to be in. Good test playing up that’s for sure.

Some of the teams in the bracket are B teams (the clubs 2nd team). Yes it's a weak bracket. I don't blame them for playing up since they are a very good team. Don't come on here and say it's a good bracket though.

They do it all the time ....they play in their weak " my lollipop tournaments" and say that they "play up" . They are apparently working on their confidence after getting spanked by express in the world series qualifiers
They lost two games by a single goal and you people are going to say that was a weak bracket for a local tournament ? You don’t have a clue.

They could travel down south to play better talent if it isn’t here on the Island. Now please go back to the 2027 thread. Thank you.
Exactly! When there is no local talent to challenge you, travel and find good competition.

My son played them. 91 should have sent 26 Freeze. Machine had what top teams all have. Enough kids that can catch under pressure and a decent faceoff man and goalie. Most B teams lack the top faceoff, goalie and don't have enough players that catch under pressure. 91 are a 27 and they can pass but you could test that defense with a better face off guy and they have a dodger but 26 B teams can handle their 27 speed on offense so dodging not a threat. But they are 27s and look on grade because they are not small but not a big players so probably on grade.

I am not from 91. I went to college JK!!

My son said after the game "we need all walball practice to beat that team". My point is the difference between A and B/C teams, Is A teams have more players that can catch and pass under pressure if goalie and faceoff is even.

They should have played 26 freeze. if they want to feel better about themselves at 27 playing up against B teams, Go for it. You win faceoffs you can destroy that 27 defense and keep the ball away from a very long possession offense(because they can catch), you can win. There is no real speed threat on that team.
Don’t you mean that they should have sent 91 Storm? Why weren’t they at a local, Dynamic tourney? What is even happening with that team? Are they only able to play during the summer because of their out of state players?

It was a B tournament so 91 should have sent their B 2026 team. Freeze I think.

Don't worry about a team or a program. Just make sure your child can catch and pass under extreme pressure, has a good size, athleticism, and has above average speed or quickness. Colleges will find these players on whatever team your child plays on for club.

The 91 freeze team has fallen apart. I don’t believe they are doing any tournaments.

Roar and Legacy came within a goal of 91 Machine and ECE came within a goal of Roar and Legacy. Those aren’t B teams anymore, they’re not AA teams either. More of an A I would say.

So, according to your logic, Legacy, Roar and East Coast Elite are now "A" teams because they came within a goal of each other and against a 2027 team... in a B level tournament won by that younger team.

Don't worry about a team or a program. Just make sure your child can catch and pass under extreme pressure, has a good size, athleticism, and has above average speed or quickness. Colleges will find these players on whatever team your child plays on for club.

Roar and Legacy came within a goal of 91 Machine and ECE came within a goal of Roar and Legacy. Those aren’t B teams anymore, they’re not AA teams either. More of an A I would say.
So, according to your logic, Legacy, Roar and East Coast Elite are now "A" teams because they came within a goal of each other and against a 2027 team... in a B level tournament won by that younger team.


Not just a 2027 team, the best 2027 team in the country. Get that straight.

Every year teams get and lose kids they improve and sometimes they get worse. You can’t judge a team based on where they were two years ago. I saw them all play. The teams listed above did not play like B teams.

They're all A teams in my opinion. The 2026 Express is the only team on LI that is in a class of its own. B teams are the Rebels, Rush, LILC...

Didn’t Machine just lose to Express 2027? Yet you still claim they are the best in the country? If you think the above mentioned teams are “A” teams, you probably haven’t left the island in a while to play other teams. Your perception is relative to the competition you seek. There are other great, true “A” teams out there.

This whole conversation is in regard to local teams at a local tournament. I guess you missed that part of it.
My point is thinking you have enough knowledge to label teams as “A” level when you haven’t traveled to see what else is out there. In my opinion, the above mentioned teams are “B”, not “A”. But I guess you missed that part of it.

Until you have traveled and played other talent, you shouldn’t label teams because you do not have enough knowledge to do that. There are a lot of talented teams at this age group in other regions. Time to get off your LI high horse.

The whole conversation is in regard to local talent. Not to mention we are on Long Island which in case you didn’t know has arguably the best lacrosse in the country so your argument is null and void.
Since you don’t know, I will enlighten you. There is one very talented team at this age group on LI. The other excellent teams are not from here. Your argument is null and void because you are misinformed and living in the past.
The beast is coming!
Just looking at all the people saying swap this team for that team, I have watched this group for 2 years now and can tell say one thing. You can rank anywhere yourself any where you want, but the 3 real teams for 2026 are Tigers Sweetlax and LI Express. if you have beaten any of these 3 teams 2X's in the last year then you can maybe say something. These 3 teams swap wins, ie Tigers beat LIE in fall semi's and then Sweetlax beat Tigers, in WSYL, LIE beat Sweetlax in semi's and then beat Tigers. So talk about all the teams you wan... these are the top 3!
Drop Tigers to 3 and move up LI express and Sweetlax, no wait, the tigers beat LI express last fall and Sweetlax beat Tigers 2 time last year. OMG what do we do?

These three teams don’t talk they play. SL beat Tigers last fall and Express has never lost to SL and Tigers beat Express in fall and recently in March. Hawks also best sweetllax always and beat Express in March and Tigers beat Hawks. Recent results would suggest Tigers, Hawks, Express, Sweetlax, Towermen

Not a Farmingdale team... the Dalers are a separate team that enters tourneys sometimes.
Team 26 is the name that Igloo kids can play in tournaments without saying that Igloo and the Dalers stink,.... Because Igloo and the Dalers stink!

Someone's not a fan of Igloo or Farmingdale. Farmingdale has a pretty good group at this age and can likely beat a number of club teams. Is Igloo better than Express... no... but wouldnt say they stink. Team 26 was at a Blatant tourney a couple weeks ago. Parent mentioned they were from all over -- Igloo A/B, S2S, 91, Legacy, Roar, Mooselax, Rebels and other teams. No town more than others and not an AA team. Just playing when their primary teams arent.

Express CoachC beat Laxachusset Black15-5. I’m confused about who the new sherif in town is. Please elaborate!
This is the truth, I was probably the parent who told you! Just trying to give our kids more playing time . Only because they want it! Some of the kids travel teams are. Only practicing one day a week and our kids want more!!

No confusion on the sheriff, its Tigers. Roiled Express hard again today. Express on predicted down slope. Always tanks at this age group to graduation. 91 will beat Express next time. 91 had the lead until the end. 91 new coaching is the best now. Next time 91 wins against Express and we do not lose by 1. Lots of former players coming back to were they started. Islands best is 91 now like usual at this age and every age. Credit due Laxa was really strong and so was 91 and Express and the play this weekend was really well.

The WSYL year is over and no one really cares who is #1. It doesn't matter anymore except for the dads that live vicariously through their sons. This weekend was all very good lax. No one was undefeated. Tigers bounced back from a loss to 91 to win. Congrats. Its on to recruiting and not looking like a donk in front of coaches looking at your son while still yelling "wheels" and "ref you stink" on the sideline.

What changed? Express players shift over to 91 in the off season? Just wanted that WS win?

Flying kids in from FL also making a difference
Good games all weekend. Lots of talent across board and fun games to watch.
Coaching didn't have anything to do with it at Team91. Heard they had three kids from IMG and another four they brought in from Stealth.
If I were a Team91 parent, I'd be upset because the new players played a ton particularly at middie.

You heard? LMAO 1 kid from IMG that moved up here and really didn't touch the ball all weekend. The 2 that are from FL live on LI during the summer. So 3 total. First your bitter that it was a Pequa town team, now this. Coaching is making a huge difference. Its the kids they brought in from Igloo, S2S, legacy and some others after real evals from the new coach who didn't care about where you were from. Almost haft the team is different. So the new coach made a huge difference on who is on the team, and it is starting to show on the field.

Great game, LIE stalled at the end to make sure there comeback didnt end in a 91 OT loss. Great to see competition back like it should be on the Island! Lots of 26 talent.
They are flying kids in ! 91 is pathetic!
about time 91 got a decent team. who cares how they did it, makes for better competition.
how did express smash laxachusetts and then get worked by Tigers and almost lose to 91? that does not make any sense. any color on that?

kids that tried out last summer and have been replaced care. short sided decision by the club to win some games will back fire when they lose kids.

It’s about winning. Winning brings revenue, that’s the model. You ever follow the Rebels social media page. Seems to be working. They seem to be the only club on LI that is growing, the rest are flat or shrinking.
They seriously didn’t do much in Delaware last weekend. Express had a great tournament and that has gone unmentioned on here.

Yes it is.
No, NAL is not an Express tournament. Express took down the Crabs, Sweetlax, and Hawks. Explain how that is an easy schedule, please.

Yes I saw it two Jersey Express kids went after Moose FOGO for absolutely no reason. Jersey was beating them by a pretty good margin and wasn’t happy that the Moose FOGo was winning all day at the X. I wouldn’t blame the entire Jersey team just the two that double teamed the Moose kid.

Yep, Express continues on their predicted down slope. Won every game easily over the weekend including Sweetlax. That must be one slippery slope!!

No, he meant Sweetlax from last weekend. But LIE bear LXC Black, too.
Yes I meant Laxachusetts Black!
Laxachusetts had a phenomenal presence this weekend. My son played against them - they are an excellent team with well executed plays.
It’s the 5 kids from out of state they added to the team . The best one is an 2006 birth year listed by us lacrosse for box lax.

Club lacrosse is a business and marketing first. Clubs cater to certain town team programs to ensure a pipeline of kids. However they want to win because parents and kids love winners lol.

I laugh when teams have 6 to 8 kids per grade from one hotbed town on a team. Growing up there were never 6 to 8 kids in my town that could make the top state travel basketball or baseball teams.

They have to keep the hotbed town lacrosse departments happy while adding outside players to compliment the 2 great town players

It is a business that needs a pipeline of future players.

They have to keep the hotbed town lacrosse departments happy while adding outside players to compliment the 2 great town players

It is a business that needs a pipeline of future players.

So how many kids did the actually bring in an how many are on there sidelines during a game?

how did express smash laxachusetts and then get worked by Tigers and almost lose to 91? that does not make any sense. any color on that?

kids that tried out last summer and have been replaced care. short sided decision by the club to win some games will back fire when they lose kids.

6 kids. The same ones that are always brought in. The team is not overly big like some others. Maybe 10 or 12 on the sideline.
So why would Express , 91 and several other clubs all have their tryouts on the same day ?
They are trying to make you choose, but a bit of collusion too I think.

I sorted the Naptown pool standings every way possible - and none of them came up with Hawks #1. Did you take a look at the Naptown Seeding Procedures for High School (2023-2026)?

High School teams will play 2 games on Monday. Each Division has a committee of “evaluators” who will watch the teams play. The committee will then seed their respective divisions. All teams will be seeded in the Championship Bracket that begins play on Tuesday morning. Championships will occur on Wednesday starting at 12:00 pm and occurring every 2 hours until last game starts at 6:00 pm on ESPN.

There was no way any team other than Hawks was going to end up #1 seed - it was all subjective 😂

Can’t use stats because there were way too many lopsided games on day 1. You had some very good teams going 1-1 and some mediocre teams going 2-0 because they played two really bad teams. You could argue that the committee got it right because the top 4 seeds all ended up in the semis.

Stop making sense, please. This is BOTC!
Here's what Quint Kessenich and Paul Carcaterra (as impartial observers) provided as a recap of the 2026 Naptown Challenge 2026 division champions, Sweetlax Navy:

"A team with a roster of players from central NY and Florida, scored the last four goals of the contest, winning 9-6 over the Hawks. They finished the game on a 6-1 run after trailing 5-3. I’ve never seen a bigger, stronger, faster, or a more mature looking group of rising freshmen, almost as if they were in the wrong age category. It was visually evident and they were dominant from the moment they played their first game at the Naptown Challenge. Apparently they are all rising ninth graders, although they could be 14, 15 or even 16 year olds by the end of June."

This issue has been discussed and discussed and discussed…it would take the major clubs in the nation to all agree to align to US Lacrosse guidelines. Does anybody see that happening? I would say, likely not.
Not entirely sure of the Florida kids, but the Sweetlax Upstate boys are essentially the same players from last years world series team. None of the upstate kids are reclassed and one defender missed the world series cutoff by a few weeks. Just better on-age players. The majority of this team is from the 2026 Upstate NY team and is dominated by public schools attendance, and doesn’t allow reclassing.

At the end of the day, reclassing isn't against the rules, but I'm sure it frustrates the garbage out of all the teams with holdbacks getting beat by a Sweetlax Upstate 2026 team that is simply better. I'm sure the reclassing issue will ultimately hit Sweetlax at some point, but at this time, they'll continue to take their collection of 14 year old boys and keep winning lacrosse games.

Argument would hold up if the World Series team did well. That is where you get deflated. Just enjoy your child’s ride. There are reclasses everywhere. Express north 26 Bbl coaches son I think, eclipse, team 91 has multiple state team on LI team lol. Get used to it. It happens everywhere.
Made it to the Semi’s and lost by 1 goal to the winners of the championship game. Sounds like they did horrible!

Semis. I get it and you play holdbacks you are in finals. Top 2 probably had 1 less holdback than you.

All teams love their holdbacks but just don’t want them brought up.

Actually pretty pathetic that people are still trying to justify their kids results from last year. It was an amped up tournament is all it was.
This is what most people here need to know from a D1 coach I know well. Wins and losses and what club you play for don’t mean a whole lot. Kids these days get recruited mainly from prospect days and showcases. Club teams will make you believe that they are getting their kids recruited but college coaches dont need club directors to send them players because they see can the kids with their own eyes. That said, clubs can help your kid get into some of the higher level showcases so you want to play for the best club that you can play for while still getting plenty of playing time. If you are not a top 12 or so player on your team you are probably better off playing for a team where you are so you get a more touches. There are plenty of high level D1 players that didn’t play for a top club team but killed it at prospect days and showcases. That’s how most kids get noticed. Don’t let club directors tell you that you need them to get recruited.

Ask yourself this: is my son a top 10 player on his team and is getting a lot of playing time? If the answer is no, then he is on the wrong team. just stating the facts.

Clearly this is your first rodeo. Truly no one cares in high a school. Look at the 22 23 24 threads. Crickets. Because no one cares about club and wins and losses. If a club has a direct connection to a college it helps. Otherwise, colleges are recurring through high school, showcases and prospect days. The OP is correct.

It is hilarious stuff reading the 2026-2032 forums. All the name calling, ranking of kids, ranking of clubs, Team 91 detest, weirdo Rebel parents pumping their chests, etc. Then people get to high school and realize how none of the club stuff really means anything. The guy who said “let me guess, your club is no good” is definitely a response you would see in the younger age groups and either has gotten it yet or is still re-living their glory days from their own high school days. Club in high school serves little purpose except to keep the kids fresh, play in some tournaments and maybe if you are lucky (and many aren’t) get some recruiting help. But wins and losses, most people don’t care and I still laugh at the parents who are yelling at refs and living and dying with every goal.
I’m the OP. That info I wrote came straight of the mouth of a top 40 D1 head coach. If you don’t wish to believe it, that’s on you. Bottom line is get lots of touches with your club and don’t expect your club director to get you recruited. Above all, be a great kid and teammate and get good grades.

Yup and your kid aint very good and your club team is worse.Barely make all star now bucko.
Express North, BBL, Igloo, Prime Time and Legacy didnt represent well. Only Towermen reached the finals and lost to a tough Hawks team

Great game. Goaltending and their ride were the difference. Congrats to them. Looking forward to a rematch.
91 / Express. I see they had another close game , are they really that close in the talent pool? Not looking for trash talk just honest opinion. Thanks
Eh from what I've seen 91 has more size, Express has more skill.

Another one goal game.
the big question how does express continually beat laxachusetts and usually handily. they decimate everyone else
Same way Tigers continually beat Express and Express decimates everyone else. Bad matchup
Express remains cool under pressure. They were down by 3 goals early and just were so disciplined and stayed the course. Great game all in all.

The OP that is you? Stunard.

Did you daughter and son play D1? Mine have and hope my other kid at this age does. All played or play on the top clubs at their age. One was the top club at their age. Being on that club and playing a lot made recruiting much easier. For the other the club was good but girls is different than boys.There are a lot of paths. One of my friends kid did good at one of the big 2 Island schools and their club was only ok. He didnt do the top two clubs. Being on the top Island club and school is very best way.

Sorry dude. Not the OP and yes they did play. But as you said there. Are many pathways but most have to forge it themselves without club help. Girls lax is very different from what I understand and more supportive. But then again you must know everything but clearly you know the OPs kid is no good. Sad dad. Living through your kids.
With 6 kids from out of state, nothing wrong with that but they are getting to be more a national team than they are a LI team.

is it true something was thrown at one of the refs post game?
91 was absolutely out of control at the end of the game. The coach was SCREAMING about them not following the rules. I did not see anything thrown, but parents, coaches, and kids all were going crazy, so I would not be surprised. Lots of bad language from 91. Sad ending to a well run tournament.

Sounds like the Madlax coach at Primetime. Cost his kids a chance at coming back with flags and his ejection, yet the Madlax parents only cried that the refs cost them the game.

I don’t really like 91 at all. But you can’t argue they are dominant at almost every age group except this one.

Biggest issue was the parents were allowed to be right behind the teams in the small stands there. Same couple looser dads from both teams chipping and yelling like fools. Most parents thought it was an intense but great game. Coach was screaming because Express was allowed to take a time out with less than 5 min left on a running clock and the ol' my cleats are untied with a minute left in a one goal game as the clock is running and the ref let him retie them for 30 sec. Gamesmanship and the coach lost it. 91 had the lead but Express is consistent and made less mistakes is the bottom line.

Speaking of sad do we need a refresher on the WSYL banquet and what happened?

wrong year

Right year. No class Express.

I don’t really like 91 at all. But you can’t argue they are dominant at almost every age group except this one.

Nobody is dominant. They have a team at each age that can win each weekend (or lose). There is no more 2020 Crush teams, but 91 teams seem to have that mentality. They recruit hard make sure they are a top team it seems. This 2026 team was barely an A team 18 months ago and they built it up. Same with the 2025s. When it was Blast they lost a lot.
And you timed the shoe tie? Must be a 91 dad! 😂

Are we going to ignore the remark an express player made or the words of an express parent made at a 91 player???
That is the funniest quote of the year. Some of the things said to opposing players by a few of these Express kids is disgusting. And then I listen to their Dads on the sidelines and I know the apple doesn’t fall far. The issue at this game was with the refs allowing the parents to camp out on the player sidelines and the cheap “tie your shoe trick” because you were only up by 1 goal and there was time for one more face-off and 91 had their LSM ready to face-off and bury the tying goal. Express is sweating 91 for sure. It was real classy how a few of the Express dads were talking smack to the 91 players during the game. Its not everyone on Express team. If you play against them, you will learn fairly quickly who the bad apples are.

Well look at the WSYL banquet, you know Express will ignore it. I think the player on the receiving end of the racist comments by the Express kid and dad handled things with class.
Time for One more face off that you expected to win from the Express FoGo? 😂😂 How many had you won previously? Would detest to rely on that.

91 would give Lax Black a run for their money if all their out of state players are there.
It even happens with Express Wiz. Express parents got thrown out of the tournament for cursing at the refs during the Moose game. Low class.

Only the top team is, in terms of skill and ability. As far as standards of behavior, I doubt any team is.

On another note...are any decent players from Suffolk or Nassau competing next week at the NYS Regional Championships?

Moose dad here (that sounds weird). I saw that guy yelling at the ref. The ref certainly wasn't good but definitely didn't deserve to be "MF'd" like that. The guy knew he was gonna get tossed. He started folding his chair before the ref even tossed him.

I've seen worse at plenty of tourney's though. Sometimes I don't blame parents for getting fired up at refs b/c we're all pulling for our kids team with passion but C'mon. To actually be telling a ref to F off is ridiculous. They are getting paid minimal to take part in youth sports, lets give them a break.

Crabs vs Tigers 26 today at 2pm. Who will win?

Tigers 10 - 7 Crabs
Tiger on top now beating CoachC.
Where is the fool who said Tigers were breaking up?

Issue is their parents don’t post. Boring.
Tigers breaking up. Talked to several people from the Philly area this weekend at NLF. They’ve all heard bits and pieces of the same rumor. Tigers Coach is nuts, 5/6 kids have left the team since April. Group of the top players leaving to go to Team10. Think how bad the situation must be that they win the NLF and team implodes.
Tiger coach is nuts? Is that why the S2S coach threatened to kick his butt during the game? Don't think it was worth the 2 flags but what do I know. Tigers are a solid team, they'll be fine after your rumors go away.
It’s nice being on a great team that wins. It’s better being on a team coached by great people. I’d rather come in 3rd in the NLF and be around better people.

Didnt they also win the NLF Season Opener?
Heard a rumor Big #33 on Tigers and top kids plus one of the studs who used to play for tigers last summer are reuniting on Team 10. Hard for me to believe tigers families will leave after winning NLF
33 can play wherever he wants and the offers will still find him.
Here we go with the Team Ten rumors, every kid from Long Island to Florida is supposed to go there.
It’s called karma
100% true
Team 10 has a history of poaching other programs players to create teams(see 27 team). Zero development and a mistake for all people involved. You would think the parents would be smart enough at this point to go to a reputable local program in the area like Freedom or NXT.

With the announcement of the new coaches it is not a surprise. Both coaches were Tigers coaches during world series run.
With the NLF change happening next year I would choose HHH. NXT has a great program and new coaching for MESA 26. Lots of choice for the 26 year.
What is the NLF change?

Like what LE does in NJ type change?
The change is that the Tigers will no longer be there!😂
Seeing the parents of the kids who left programs to go to team ten last only to get cut this year is going to be hilarious.
All those parents who left last year or plan on leaving this year drank the white claws on the new facility and training center. Unless the teams are practicing as much as the top teams it won’t make a difference.
Need to join a team that develops and not just reload or replace. Lots of attrition in PA once Tigers came on the scene and scooped up most of the talent. Only a couple kept pace with mostly original lineups. Choose wisely, and don’t get caught up in the hype. I see a lot jumping from the frying pan to the fryer unfortunately.
Now that Tigers has disbanded many seem to want to go to Team10 and HHH. Those will be the two top teams in the area now.

Not the original poster but rumors at the tournament this weekend - you will need to be an NLF team or affiliate to play in the Opener and Championship. Not sure how true because that makes the tournament much smaller.

Wherever you go, smart to leave now before you get the crazy influx of new kids at tryouts and your B son, now is a C and forgotten. Most likely new coach too.
Final Summer Rankings:

Tigers (beat CoachC 3/3 times this year)
Coach C
Sweetlax Upstate/Navy (you only get one spot)

I would say more competitive than both. I know they beat Express B, not sure about Legacy.

After Coach C and 91, the rest of the "A" teams can beat each other on any given day. Then there are a handful that don't belong there at all.

HHH will be the only PA option for NLF. That does not shrink tournament by much.

So what’s the over/under on how many new players Express A and 91 take for the up coming season ?

Express will take as many as are willing. Anyone he doesn't want another team to have will get an offer.

Express North should be no where near number 3. One good win doesn’t get you there. Sweetlax is a clear number 3. Not a towermen fan but you can’t put LE ahead of them based on their records against common opponents.

Be wary if you get an offer. You don’t want to be on the bottom third of this team if you want to get minutes.

They may consider themselves that, but their record as of late does not support that

I would def go to Legacy over Express B. Mooselax is a good team, but as your son gets into HS I would go with Legacy due to upcoming recruiting and name brand. Moose has been going to good tourneys and doing ok, just don't know their recruiting help. JMO. Nothing against the team itself, they actually go to tough tourneys and play in AA brackets against very good teams.

What ?? Recruiting ? They going into 9th grade. No one is recruiting no one now . Legacy’s tradition has 2 good teams 2019 Taz and 2024 Taz thats about really in . 26’s went 0-5 2 weeks ago and 2-4-1 last weekend . You must play for Legacy.

No, my son plays for another team. Was just trying to give some insight on what’s coming and not bashing any team. Legacy has kids recruited from all their A teams. Moose is new and wasn’t sure on how they will help recruit. Coaches want to see the kids playing against good competition, and PLAYING. Good luck.

Crabs made the NLF playoffs. Lost to the team that won it in a close game. LXC did not make the playoffs.

Igloo goalie going to LIE
Express B is a good option for a few reasons. They consistently practice. They are coached by Weizorek, Varsity coach of a top national HS team. They often practice with Coach C’s team, a top team in the age group. They have gotten better throughout the season and just made it to the NLF championship in their bracket. Just a few thoughts. Good luck!
