Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to 5th Grade Boys (2030 Grads) for the Fall 2022/Summer 2023 Season.
Reposting last post from previous SY:

I heard 10,000 signed up for Rebel tryouts...

I heard several D1 players signed up too!
Heard Millon is skipping college to play for 2030 Rebels

I heard the both Rebels A ( “AA” )and B teams are in the process of filling out paperwork to play in D1 college games
News
2030s what are the top teams
Heard 91 lost kids
Rebels back at it this week. Training in new facility they just purchased.
How are they looking ?

They have 2 teams ?
4 teams
4 teams for the 30’s???
Heard legacy crumbling
Yea at every age group.
91 got fleeced
Lots of kids left cyclones
The cyclones will be just fine. Don’t worry about that.

Done with what? Did you see how many kids were at legacy tryouts?? I did. 2nd only to 91 tryouts.
Just because you don’t like them doesn’t make them disappear.
Legacy posted fall schedules. Any other clubs?
Any Long Island teams leaving the island to play in tourneys this fall?
Check the Rebels; I believe their director said they’ll play anyone, anywhere, at any time, Of course, he couldn’t make any dates work to play a team in Philly, but hey, almost any time/anywhere…
Rebels did leave LI and played against NXT and some Philly teams in the summer. Get your research right. They were in Allentown and at NXT Cup.
weren't some of those teams just local PA town teams?
Heard legacy east flopped, no 30 team among others.
What years do they have a team for?
Looks like they have 2028& a 2029 team
Does express East have a team at this age?
Does express East have a team at this age?
Rebels played the worst teams in PA; trust me, I researched THAT!
All these teams got Weaker kids bounced all over
Rebels are hurting

First practice tonight… not hurting
Any Long Island teams going to NXT mid Atlantic or NAL this fall?
Rebels not as good as last year…. Where they lost to cyclones bad and legacy

Is your team in Columbus Day?
Did rebels lose bad to cyclones ?
And lost players
Did they beat legacy?
Rebels improved, let the fun begin.
Columbus Day Invitational in Central Islip
Legacy Admiral
Rebels LC Aces
Igloo Black Ice 2.0
2Way
Express CoachS

Lost a few close ones to 91. Picked up some players. Think all teams in Columbus Day have a shot
Great lax for legacy and rebels today.
Can someone tell me why 91 wasn’t at Columbus Day? Looks like their 31 team was, but not 30…
Their 31 team also played in A bracket instead of AA. Our kids lost in the AA bracket, but at least we know we played the toughest competition.... and our boys motivated to work instead of celebrating a fluff medal. I didn't head anything about the 30 team but I'm assuming they weren't ready to enter anything yet. Hopefully soon
Looks like the 91 2031 team that played was the second team. 2031 A is Titans, right?

Correct. The warriors is 91 second team. The titans are the top team.
So if Warriors are the second team, what’s the issue with them playing in the A bracket as stated above? Looks like it was the first time on the field for them.
Thanks for that info. I eat my words and give them credit for showing up. The Titans are listed for zero tournaments on the 91 site. No need to dominate this thread with 31 talks, back to the 30s
91 30s cyclones had good group of kids leave
Supposedly daddy ball and coach was alittle much.
They will be in there tournament week for sure
Anyone else attend the Chesapeake Fall classic in Northeast, MD last weekend?
Great weather, really strong lax from teams I think mostly from MD and PA. Not used to seeing that type of competition during fall season - congrats to all !
tristar tournament this weekend
seems like not many tests what’s the competition look like
turtles any good??
That’s the turtles b team
30 turtles has 2 teams ??v
Nice showing by 30 Jesters at Tri-Star. Lots of Massapequa kids on the team.
looks like Jesters and aces were the top teams
express top team too

didn’t know jesters were a top team
They’re not…step off the island and play real teams
played against them with my sons igloo team
they were good and a physical team
had a couple of pretty good kids
lost by 1. it was a good close game to watch
What 2030 Boys team is going to win the NAL Fall Invitational on November 12th in Delaware? Looks like some really good teams are playing....
Legacy Admirals
LI Express CoachS
Sweetlax Upstate
True Chesapeake
BBL Black
Igloo Black Ice
Mad Dop National Black
NXT Black
NXT Black is not good
The weather looks horrible for the tournament with Tropical Storm Nicole passing through. Hopefully those fields will hold up
Looks like legacy lost to igloo. Very interesting
Igloo Black Ice won NAL Fall Tournament. Played Legacy in Finals. Was a good tournament with a lot of talented teams.
That’s a helluva win for Igloo, congrats to them! Thought Legacy would win but, hey, that’s why they play the games.
big changes coming with the Age verification!!
some of these teams will be having issues with
too many holdbacks

91 and Rebels will be looking different once they go into affect
looked like a weak tournament last weekend
lions and cyclones cleaned up on weak teams
dragons and flying squirrels ???
Pretty decent 4-way event this past weekend with Igloo Black Ice, Express CoachS, Jesters & Shore2Shore. Black Ice had tight games with Express & Jesters. It looked like S2S was out matched as they were beaten handily by Jesters & Express. The Jesters team was very physical. Was surprised to see them hang with Black Ice.
my sons S2S team played In a “ jesters Jamboree “ same day
S2S, express, igloo black ice and Jesters
all good matchups , all of the
teams seemed pretty equally talented
fun day
i’m guessing that’s all the games till the spring
it will be
interesting to see who improves in the spring
Posted in MD 2030 forum:

Take a crack at this top 2030 teams list. Think a number of teams that are very good were left off:

2030 TOP TEAMS (no National teams just clubs)

1. Orange Crush - NY (beat Team 91, 2Way, Igloo, BBL etc in the summer)
2. Team 91 - NY (beat a lot of the Long Island teams and some quality national wins)
3. Legacy - NY (lost to Igloo at NAL this fall, but has racked up top wins all summer/fall long)
4. 2Way- CT (won a loaded Hershey tourney against Bethesda 2x, Igloo, Dukes, Madlax and lost to OC in a close championship)
5. Bethesda - MD (dominated HOCO elite, won Millon against great comp)
6. Igloo Black Ice - NY (up and down with great wins against Legacy and 2Way but losses to Duke's and others)
7. Rebels - NY (beat a lot of these top teams over the summer and fall, could be higher)
8. BBL Black - NJ (quality wins against LI teams and OC puts them solid in the top 10 - struggled a bit this fall)
9. Madlax Cap - MD (made the playoffs at Hershey after a big win vs Igloo, top 3 team in HOCO, good fall against local comp)
10. Annapolis Hawks - MD (good fall against local comp, beat Dukes in fall but still couldn't get over Bethesda hump, should be top 3 in HOCO)
11. Dukes Elite - PA (Lost to BBL by 1 this fall, beat a lot of top teams last year like OC and Igloo and Sweetlax and Hawks in summer)
12. BBL Shore - NJ (since being renamed from Team United has not played in many top tourneys, but has solid wins over the summer)
13. SweetLax Upstate - NY (battled with a lot of good comp over summer and fall)
14. Crabs- MD (look better this fall but can't put them in top 10 till we see how they do in HOCO elite AAA bracket since they were down last year in AA)
15. LI Express - NY (wild card team and this spot could of went to Next Level. Up and down in the summer and fall)

Who did I miss?
looks like legacy national team won the 30s
club lax tournament bs mad lax. ….. seemed like light numbers on the team
so what’s the first tournament coming up
Yes, they won but most teams were National, not local club.
They won some close games, congrats to them!
Best teams I watched in that age group were Legacy, Cherries, Premier National then Madlax. I saw MadLax made the ‘chip but also watched Premier National crush them, think they were up 8-2 in 4th.
Lastly, legacy had dope uniforms, looked like the Orlando Magic
don’t think it was just legacy kids
seemed like other club kids on team i heard
can’t wait for the spring
what’s the 1st tournament for everyone???

Rebels lost 1 player to legacy which has been replaced. Added some very good kids.

Yup. 91 is the best on long island. To bad they came beat any good teams outside of Suffolk and Nassau county
they had 3 teams in the fall
coach s was ok
the other 2 were horrible
it’s fool they paid money
91 def has some holdbacks
also heard rebels lost good kids as well
his kids meaning what??
losing and adding kids mid season definitely isn’t right for other kids
web page says looking for
goalie attack and defender
Most of the parents that post on this thread have kids that are B players!

we played Fechtman team in the fall
they had 2 teams.both were real bad .
but they did have 3 teams total in 30s
They did? Lost their goalie! Losing their faceoff, and losing best attack! Rebels club in shambles. Parents leaving in droves, coaching is bad, owner more interested in making money then having teams practice. They are a B organization at best!

Hard to be fine when you lose your goalie , and best offense player
This list is ridiculous. How do you rank any team based on what they did last summer? Teams change every year after tryouts. If anything, base it on the fall. Tournament season starts this weekend on Long Island with some good teams playing on March 19th.
BBL BLack
Team 92 Cyclones
Rebels
Igloo Black Ice

Ask his 2024 parents...one of them lives down the street. The least amount of practices, the most amount of kids, the least amount of recruiting help.
Clearly Legacy and 91 are 1,2 at 2030. Igloo probably 3 but missing a lot of pieces. Express 4 and Turtles, Rebels, etc…..
Legacy is not better than 91
You don’t think Legacy can beat 91? Come on, they are very close. Looking forward to watching them square off this year.
Jesters 2030 boys are strong too from what I heard

They were good , and physical. Have a few good kids

Years ago my son played for the Jesters when they had boys teams! They took our money and split!
Hide your wallet, they’re back!

Wasn’t the full Ace’s team , but still good win.
“No kids left” followed by “goalie left before the season” is the most Rebels thing I’ve ever heard.
Must be that Dowling College education

Here comes the excuses
1st tournament of the season and not the full team ???
Why go in then ??
Nice showing by 2030 Jesters at Spring Lax Jam yesterday. Won what looked like a combined 2029/30 bracket.
You guys are silly talking about one position for the rebels that left 7 months ago. Who cares, rebels will be just fine, calling them a B organization is a bad look when their youth (30s- 33s) are probably the best on the island overall.

Go home your drunk.

SAT RESULTS:

2030 East (Warriors) - Need help on offense (0-2-1)
2030 AA Aces - (1-2) Defense needs help; No blow outs; (L 5-6 w/ S2S) (W 3-0 w/ Mooselax) (L 2-6 vs Igloo)
2031 AA Stealth - Champs
2031 A could maybe be AA Riot - Champs
2032 AA Archers - 2nd Place Championship (L 6-4 w/ Igloo)
2033 Rising Rebels - Champs

c’mon
your AA team had a lonely 3-0 win on Mooselax
who’s barely A bracket team

and got beat by S2S who’s B team as well
Spin this anyway you want but 2030 Rebels team is not good. The ship has sunk, solid B team though.

Thanks igloo dad or probably coach, enjoy keeping it close for now, soon and I mean very soon your team will crumble.
Good luck with that prediction.

Reality on 2030 boys for Long Island is:
#1 - 91 is the best team
#2 - Igloo Black Ice is a close 2nd
#3 - Legacy maybe
Everyone else is fighting for the back of the pack.
S2S, Rebels, Express, Jesters have lost to all these teams above several times.

Sounds about right …..
91 will be on top bc kids will stay on the team and be happy winning and barely playing instead of going somewhere else to play more useful minutes

Stop. That’s actually completely false- cyclones have small roster so most everyone plays.
I think it is fun for an 11 year old to sit on the sidelines every game!!

When you leave igloo that won’t happen.
Why parents pay to have their kids sit on the sideline is mind blowing even if you're on a AA team - If you sit on the sidelines you aren't getting any additional recognition by scouts.

Talking about scouts in 5th grade lacrosse is also pretty mind blowing.

Are you seriously talking about college scouts in 5th grade? Can’t kids learn the game, work hard and have fun anymore without the pressure and stress brought on by parents whose self-worth is determined by their kid’s success in youth sports? This culture is disturbing. I have kids going being recruited and trust me, no one gives a s**t about 5th graders. Lol.
91 clearly best 2030 but could lose on any given day to Igloo and Legacy. I think 91 might also lose their top player because of this Age Verification also.

They have more then 1 holdback on that team
But with new age going back to June 1st
It will make it easier to keep older kid
Why no Cyclones at NAL?

Rough days continues for Express
any word on if they could cancel NAL? Seems like they should
Doubt it. The weather/wind pattern is supposed to change and not blow down from Canada by Saturday.
Time for the Long Island teams to show up and represent. The NAL 2023 Summer Youth Invitational is this weekend in Delaware. Looks like Express, S2S, Legacy and Igloo are playing. They will have some good competition in True, Sweetlax, Madlax, Crabs, BBL, Cherries and Hawks. This weekend will say a lot about where Long Island stands for the 2030s supremacy.
Duke’s Elite from Philly has beaten a number of those teams you mentioned. Good to see teams step off the Island, gonna be fun
What’s going on with all kids leaving mid season ????
Rebels leave to Legacy and expres
Now Igloo kids leave and go to S2S
Always looks good adding kids mid season

Shame on the parents and the organizations.
Very bad look

Long Island did not represent that well on Saturday except for igloo:
Igloo 3-0-0
Legacy 1-1-1
S2S stingers 0-1-2
Igloo won an easy pool and lost to BBL in playoffs; wasn’t one of the top 4 teams
Legacy battled but lost True IL then Duke’s Elite.
S2S was just brutal.
Great event though, NAL had battles across all age brackets

Little Bethesda Lacrosse Club (all the kids are from within a mile or two of one another) is the beheamoth in 2030. No national players, no kids flying in, just a town rec club that has stuck together and is the best team in the country at the moment.

how do you stay on that team ???
can’t add kids mid season

express did the same as well as legacy
what are you teaching your kid by leaving ???
The NAL Youth Invitational this past weekend. The facts:

Igloo Black Ice did well: 4-1
Wins: True IL 9-2, Annapolis Hawks 8-4, BBL Shore 13-5, Cherries 6-5
Losses: BBL Black by 7-5 (Igloo beat that team in April)

Legacy Admirals: 1-3-1
Win: Crabs 8-4
Losses: True IL 6-5, Dukes Elite 6-4, Madlax Capital 6-5
Tied: PrimeTime 10-10

Shore-2-Shore Stingers: 1-2-2
Wins: SweetLax 12-5
Loses: Crabs 9-8, Annapolis Hawks 6-1
Tied: True IL 7-7, PrimeTime 6-6
Congrats to Bethesda LC 2030!!!!!!
That is a big win if they are truly just a town team.
Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Igloo had a very tough bracket. The other Long Island teams against common opponents tells the story:

Igloo beat the Annapolis Hawks 8-4, S2S lost to Hawks 6-1
Igloo beat True IL 9-2. True IL won their bracket by beating Legacy 6-5 and equalling Shore-2-Shore 7-7.

so much for all the new kids Shore2shore brought in
Lol. Igloo vastly overrated. Hawks, BBL Shore and Cherries were all weak. Were you there? Put the beer down and watch next time.
I was there. You can only play the schedule you were given. If igloo is overrated (not), who is underrated that apparently lost at the NAL that i assume your son is on. The facts are igloo has only lost to 2 teams this year, 91 Cyclones (by 1 goal) and BBL Black (beat them once and lost once)
Top four 2030 teams (pick your order) have to be Bethesda, Team 91, 2Way, and Orange Crush. Only one of them was at NAL. BBL Black looks close - their FOGO is amazing. Logjam after that with Igloo, Duke's elite, Crabs, etc.
I’d say that’s a more than fair observation/ranking
Is BBL Black a local team or takes into account most of NJ

BBL Black is local team based in central NJ drawing a lot of kids from Summit/Chatham area. BBL "National" draws kids from a wider area within NJ, but still far from true national team drawing kids from multiple states like Red Hots, Nations Best, Eighteen, etc. The "National" team practices together year round since they are not spread out like other national teams.
That’s awesome accomplishment but your not beat 91 Cyclones.
Haha you’re funny assuming these parents are interested in instilling any kind of morals. They’re the future DI stars!
JUST THE FACTS:

fool weekend at the 2030 Tri-Star Lax Clash (June 18th at Farmingdale).

91 Cyclones lost to Legacy 6-3 (Semi-final)

Legacy lost to BBL Black 6-10 (championship game)

BBL Black tied LI Express CoachS 6-6

LI Express lost to Sweetlax Upstate 8-6
Wow, BBL beat 91 Cyclones pretty good but BBL only tied LI Express CoachS.

That is why they play the games!

There is obviously no clear dominant team in the 2030 age group.
Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.

Bethesda is clearly a fluke and got hot at the right time. Bethesda will not maintain that winning against top travel teams. Who have they beat before or after?

Crabs had a horrible showing at the NAL losing to Legacy 8-4 and only beating an average Shore-2-Shore Stingers 9-8.

2Way tied Laxachusetts 6-6 and only beat a good local GardenCIty Team 6-5 and lost to Legacy Admirals 8-7 at TriStar Lax Clash on Long Island.

Orange Crush....Where have they been hiding? What tournaments are they playing at and against what level of competition?
We used to see Orange Crush at all the top 2030 tournaments but they’ve been missing for most of this year…definitely weird.
As for BLC, you obviously haven’t seen them play; while the 2030 year might be “a fluke”, they are well coached and play true team ball. Def one of top programs at this age, not even a question.
Again, there is NO clear number 1 team. Any team can beat one another at any given tournament. I think the top teams are clearly in no specific order:
BBL Black
91 Cyclones
Bethesda Lax Club
Igloo Black Ice
These clubs have won tournaments with tough competition
The Naptown 2023 tournament is a few days away. Looks like there is some good teams going. It looks like Igloo Black Ice and Orange Crush will be there. It also looks like a ton of "National" teams will be there? Does anyone have a scouting report on this field if teams?
Great 8 in NJ this weekend
1) 2WAY
2) BLC
3) Next Level
4) 3D
5) Orange Crush
6) Mad Dog
7) Predators
Impressive weekend for 2030 Long Island teams. Cyclones beat Legacy in Championship Game at Gauntlet. Express finished 3rd.

Nice showing by 1st year LI Jesters team at Prime Time tournament. Seemed to hold their own against top tier teams (ie Orange Crush & Prime Time) while picking up a few victories against AA competition.

Rebels made Top 4 at Big Time Shootout.

I didn't notice if Igloo Black Ice was in action.
Big Time Shootout this weekend
1) 2Way
2) Sweetlax
3) Rebels
4) BBL
5) Annapolis
6) Laxachusetts
7) Shore2Shore

FAKE NEWS. Legacy 2030's did NOT lose their coach.
So try out season is done. What team improved from last year???
If you are just being honest about the pecking order, you would have to say:
1. 91 Cyclones
2. Igloo Black Ice
3. Legacy
4,5,6 No idea between Express, Rebels, S2S
7. Jesters

How doest BTB, Turtles, Rush, Recon, True Blue place here?
How is the 91 B team? Lions? My guess is they're ranked in the top 7 at least.
Lions are up there, def can give 5 and up a competitive game. 91 Cyclones, Igloo, Legacy and Express might be too much for them. Rebels dont have a team, disbanded.
Rebels aces are still here. They’ll make some waves come fall. Wait and see…
Jesters are gonna smoke the Aces
Who have the 91 Lions played and beat in that top 7? Unfortunately, True Blue, Recon, Rush, Recon and Mooselax are definitely a big step below. I am pretty sure BTB doesn't even have a 2030 team.
91 Lions are on par with the Jesters and Rebels Aces. The other teams mentioned above shouldn’t even be discussed. Not sure any of them could beat a low level PAL team.

my son is on the Rebels, never seen Lions in any
Real tournaments. Not sure who they have played
We did play jesters and beat them in a close game

I would say lions are a step below until they play some top teams

They’ll eventually be in NLF Events and the Rebels and Jesters will likely not be in those events and tourneys.

It’s a B team ….. You can “ eventually “ go in whatever tournament you want and get smoked.
Fact is you haven’t played anyone all last year and now think you will do well in these tournaments ??

You played our Rebels B team and won…..
Not a huge accomplishment, never played our Aces team
Lions are gonna roar past Jesters and Aces. Battle of the B teams.
Not sure how the B teams, Jesters, Aces, etc., keep any of their talented kids. They won’t be in too tourneys and depth will always be an issue

Only thing worse then “ lions will roar past” is the lions team themselves

That’s the worst line ever
Lol.. Thats a terrible line but comical, worth a giggle. Sounds like the Lions can compete with the likes of Aces and Jesters. Interested to see them play this year.
The B teams keep there talented players because if they go the A team's, they are 2nd or 3rd string. What is better, being the star on a B team or a backup on an A team and not see the field. Especially when daddy lacrosse and coaches favorites are part of the equation.

Lions lost their best goalie who kept them in games , an attack man and best LSm.

Not sure who they are hanging with now …..

Wait until 7th grade when the best players slowly go over to 91 and Express. The power of the NLF is real and top players want to go play with and against the best. That has seemingly been the trend. Time will tell if one team can break that trend.

Teams are having less depth nowadays
Nobody is paying $4500 to be 5/6 middie or 5attack
When you can be 1/2 on another team
Fake news. People love to overpay and be the last man on a big roster. Very few will choose to play on a lessor team to get more run. Teams are deep and parents are fine with being 5/6.
Only notIntelligent people and apparently there is no shortage of them.
$4000 for 10 years at 8% APR equal approximately $65 k! Just saying

Do it! Then you won’t have to visit this board anymore!
Now that you’ve paid the piper who can take down the Cyclones this year? Legacy only one close on the island.
Cyclones definitely best team at 2030 in the country. Sure SweetLax Navy beat them at NLF but that’s a national team.

Big question is can anyone beat Cyclones FOGO? Teams that win some faceoffs seem to do ok vs them.
Who is attending Columbus Day invitational???

They have had few close games
Lost to legacy
Close with express
Lots of passion around 11-year-old lacrosse
The Rebels lost even more of their “top” players this year after the mass exodus last season. The team was decimated and left with barely a skeleton crew. They suffered an abysmal season and hardly won any games even made changes to the head coach who now coaches the 2031s. I heard they won one B-team tourney, that their B-team couldn't join because they are a remedial team. For the 2030s, this once up and coming franchise is nothing more than a shell of its former self for this age group. With no signs that they can retain or attract any valuable players, it's hard to see how they can possibly bounce back this fall or anytime soon due to these crushing departures. After the disaster of this past season, their future prospects are bleaker than ever. But maybe they will get those 4th/5th middies and attack that are getting 5 minutes of playtime elsewhere.
Interesting to hear about rebels, considering they claimed to be best team around at this age group; what programs did their kids move to?
Rebels do well at the younger ages and then they dismantle as the best players leave for 91/Legacy/Express. We have seen this with 28-30 teams and it will repeat for 31-33 teams.

Dude unwind you tight AbScS
The cyclones are not a lock as being the best in the country. The Cyclones finished very poorly for them at the end of the tournament season with a couple of loses and almost loses. That Navy SweetLax team was good but not amazing. I think that on Long Island, either Legacy or Igloo can beat them on any given day.
Sweetlax Navy practiced 2 times together all year. Won Naptown and NLF in the same year. The more they play together the better they will get.
Igloo stinks. Really bad coaching. Legacy will fall apart as parents are a huge problem. Bad culture. Sweetlax navy has 3-4 kids who are ineligible based on new age verification. They will not be the same all star team. Cyclones best all around eligible team top to bottom. BLC only team who can give them a game.
Bethesda LC is now Next Level
Guess the Igloo hater and Cyclone lover didn’t get the memo that BLC 2030 are all over at Next Level now!
